Thanks CSGP Family!

Taos puso po akong nagpapasalamat sa CSGP Family sa opurtunidad na ibinigay nila sa akin. Kay Ate Czari na patuloy na nagbigay ng kanyang talino at lakas para sa organisasyon, at  kay Shiela na nagpakilala sa akin sa CSGP at nagpakita sa akin ng mga magagandang adhikain ng CSGP. Nawa’y magkaroon pa tayo ng magagandang karanasan sa pagbibigay ng serbisyo para sa tulad nating kabataan. Tayo mismo ang maglunsad ng payapa at maayos na laban tungo sa kaunlaran.

 Pagpalain  pa nawa tayo ng Maykapal.

 Maraming salamat!!!

Maraming Salamat Po!!!

Matagal-tagal na rin nang huli akong nakapagpost sa blog na ito. Ilang linggo na rin ang nakalipas. Matapos ang unang araw ko sa “I Am” workshop, hindi na ako naka-attend. Dumaan ang prelims na parang long test lang. Nagsagawa ng mga activities tulad ng “Jesus Christ Festival” at “USC Battle of the Brains: Season 2″. na ako at si Gerlie Sevilla ang nag-emcee. Akala ko noon ay makaka-attend na ulit ako sa workshop. Ngunit dumating ang Campaign Period, kasal ng pinsan ko, at mga kompetisyon na aming sinalihan.

Sa kabutihang palad, kami (Kuya Gelo, Ate Tina, Ate Dessa at ako) ay nagwagi bilang kampeyon sa isang kompetisyon na pinangunahan ng “Servants of Jesus Community Foundation, Inc.” na ginanap sa Muntinlupa Sports Center noong Agosto 16, 2008.

Sa sumunod na linggo, Agosto 19, 20 at 21, nagkaroon ng Eleksyon sa buong paaralan. Sa kasamaang palad, hindi lahat ng mag-aaral ng PLMun ay nakaboto. Kung titignan ang bilang ng mga bumoto, halos kalahati lamang ng populasyon ang bumoto. Ako ay isa sa mga nanalo sa naturang eleksyon. Ngunit kung ang lahat ba ng esudyante ay nakaboto, mananalo pa kaya ako?

Agosto 26, nagsimula na ang “1st Semi-Elimination Night” ng “PLMun Pop Idol” na sinundan ng “2nd Semi-Elim Night” noong Agosto 29. Mahirap mag-emcee sa ganitong mga event. Sabi nga ng karamihan, “Hindi kita naramdaman.”

Kinabukasan, Midterm na namin. Ako ay nag-post ngayon dahil alam ko pag natapos na ang midterm ay marami na ulit gagawin. Baka mawalan ako ng time para makapagpost ulit.

Sa lahat ng sumoporta sa aking pagkandidato bilang Konsehal, Maraming Salamat sa Inyo! Tayo po ay magtulungan upang lalong umunlad ng ating pamantasan. GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Bagong Cam, Bagong Buhay (A Reflection)

Napaka-saya nga naman na magkaroon ng bagong digital video camcorder. Ngunit hindi ko agad napansin ang kaibahan ng meron nito. Una, ginagamit ko lang ito para sa aking personal na gamit hanggang isang araw ito'y akin nang ginagamit para sa aming publikasyon. Naging photographer ng mga events at ng mga photoshoots para sa mga kandedato ng isang pageant. Naging tagakuha ng litrato ng mga opisyales at taga-gawa ng kanilang mga ID at organizational charts. Para malinaw, 6 na IDs at 3 Organizational Charts. Ang 5 sa mga organisasyong ito ay sa akin din nagpa-disenyo ng kanilang organizational shirts.

Ngayon, natiggil sandali ang mundo ng picturan. Sa kadahilanang lagi itong nagagamit, napagod ang digi cam ko at panandaliang nasa check-up.

Marami naring nangyari, tatlong buwan na ang lumipas. Lahat ay nagsimula sa isang litrato…

Sa Festival Mall…

Hindi ko talaga makakalimutan ang nangyari saming magkakaklase sa Festi. Noong August 7, 2007 kasi, nag-plan kami na mag-shoot ng commercial para sa Sales Presentation namin. So after ng exam namin (Mid-term Week kasi nun eh), ung iba samin dumaretso na sa festi, tapos ung iba kumuha pa ng damit sa bahay nila. Matagal rin kaming naghintay kaya nagpa-alam muna kami sa store na pag-shooshootingan namin. Pumayag naman sila. Tapos dumating na yung make-up artists ng classmates ko. Eh di nagpa-make-up muna sila… Kumain muna ako… Nung Ok na lahat, Umakyat kami ni tonet sa 2nd Floor para sa ganung angulo kunan yung simula. Maayos naming nakunan yung scene na yun hanggang umabot kami sa baba. Biglang may lumapit na lalaki sa isa kong classmate.

With Every Breath…

Last sunday morning, my mom and I were shocked when her boss called her informing her that our Nana Loleng died last saturday. I thought why these things were happening. After that unfair election, our city mayor's mother has passed away. We went to the church late that night.

Just this evening, at exactly 10 pm, another service started. It was lead by my father, a pastor from Alabang United Evangelical Church. Before he has shared his sermon, I, together with my two sisters, sang "With Every Breath" by Sixpence Non The Richer & Jars of Clay. The song has a wonderful message. Then, in my fathers sermon, he explained to them why we chose that song. He also shared the memories he had with Nana Loleng. From his message, I realized how spiritual and God-fearing she is. I know, her life will be a great inspiration to her family and to all Muntinlupeños.

What Kind of Future Awaits for Muntinlupa City?!?

 Walking in the busiest road of Muntinlupa, with jeepneys blowing their horns and chicken mascots dancing above their trucks with "Itaktak" tune, I felt so alone thinking I was the only rock in the river who stands still against the flow. I heard somebody from a motorbike asking the chicken mascot, "O ano? Panalo na ba?". And he said that with his loud and proud voice. The opposition supporters were very boastful. Their (Opposition's followers) attitude reflects on their leaders. (It's obviously seen during the caucus they held here).

 Now, I'm thinking if there will be a good future for us Muntinlupeños. What will happen to the projects our present mayor has contributed? What will happen to all employees to be removed? What will happen to the youth who seeks for a better future? What will happen to our city which is one of the progressive cities in the Philippines? Will it still be progressive?

 Maybe GOD has a plan. Maybe he wants us to realize the difference between an honorable "LEADER" and a conceited "BOSS". Only GOD knows…

Shrek the Third!!! The same cinema, the same fun!

After watching Spiderman 3 last May 8, 2007, (which is a good movie) we just watched Shrek 3 yesterday on the same cinema, Cinema 1 of Alabang Town Center. Maybe there's something there that made me so comfortable. I mean, I can laugh whenever I want. It's different with Cinema 3. All I can do is shut my mouth and just enjoy the movie without laughing. (Because the movies I've watched there where Mulawin, Moments of Love and Herbie. There's nothing to laugh with. LOL!!!) Well, I just want to say that I really enjoyed staying there. I have started laughing from the trailers (Evan Almighty and Mr. Beans' Holiday) up to the credits of Shrek 3. I don't care whoever seated beside me. I'm there to enjoy the movie and not for anyone else. Peace!

I am the Future!

I feel so overwhelmed that this day, May 14, 2007, is my first time to vote. I'm really blessed that at the exact age of 18, I'll be able to use my rights to vote. (Yung iba kc hndi xakto ung age, ex. 19 yrs old na or above, hindi pa nakakaboto.)

Well, I'll never waste this chance to choose the right candidates. Here in Muntinlupa, the oppositions weren't fair. Campaign should stop at exactly 12 midnight of May 12 but here, something's wrong. They go house-to-house and buy their votes. But it doesn't stop there. They won't let them vote instead use their names and let anybody vote for them, surely for the opposition. I won't tell names here, but I know you know who they are. I'm not telling this because I hate them or I'm a pro-administration but rather to speak my mind as the future of this city. I just want Muntinlupa be a better place. I want to choose a candidate whom I won't have regrets in the future. I want somebody who is HONEST, CARING, INTELLIGENT, and GOD FEARING.

I won't waste my vote for people who had the position, and use the funds for the next election rather than doing projects. Would you trust them if they say they'll do better? No!!! They portray DISHONESTY!!!

Let's just pray for this election… Hope that everyone made the right choice. GOD BLESS ALL MUNTINLUPEÑOS!!!

Pacquiao for Cogressman?!?

Congratz Manny for winning! The Filipinos are very proud of you. I guess, you can be a better inspiration not a congressman… There are many ways to help… You don't need a position to help people. GOD BLESS YOU! I hope you'll realize it…
