Para sa ating masweswerteng bata..
Forwarded email by a good friend. Enjoy reading!
TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1950's, 60' s, 70's and early 80's !!
First, some of us survived being born to mothers who did not have an
OB-Gyne and drank San Miguel Beer while they carried us.
While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, ate isaw, and didn't
worry about diabetes.
Then after all that trauma, our baby cribs were made of hard wood covered
with lead-based paints, pati na yung walker natin, matigas na kahoy din at
wala pang gulong.
We had no soft cushy cribs that play music, no disposable diapers (lampin
lang), and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads ,
sometimes wala pang preno yung bisikleta.
As children, we would ride in hot un-airconditioned buses with wooden seats
(yung JD bus na pula), or cars with no airconditioning & no seat belts
(ngayon lahat may aircon na)
Riding on the back of a carabao on a breezy summer day was considered a
treat. (ngayon hindi na nakakakita ng kalabaw ang mga bata)
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle purchased from
711 ( minsan straight from the faucet or poso)
We shared one soft drink bottle with four of our friends, and NO ONE
actually died from this. Or contacted hepatitis.
We ate rice with star margarine, ate raw eggs straight from the shell, and
drank softdrinks with real sugar in it (hindi diet coke), but we weren't
sick or overweight kasi nga......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, and get back when the
streetlights came on. Sarap mag patintero, tumbang preso , habulan at
taguan.
No one was able to reach us all day ( di uso ang cellphone , walang beepers
) . And yes, we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our wooden trolleys (yung bearing ang gulong)
or plywood slides out of scraps and then ride down the street , only to
find out we forgot the brakes! After hitting the sidewalk or falling into
a canal (sewerage channel) a few times, we learned to solve the problem
ourselves with our bare & dirty hands .
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all,
no 100 channels on cable, no DVD movies, no surround stereo, no IPOD's, no
cell phones, no computers, no Internet, no chat rooms, and no Friendsters.
......... ...WE HAD REAL FRIENDS and we went outside to actually talk and
play with them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broken bones and teeth and there were no
stupid lawsuits from these accidents. The only rubbing we get is from our
friends with the words..masakit ba ? pero pag galit yung kalaro mo,,,,ang
sasabihin sa iyo..beh buti nga !
We played marbles (jolens) in the dirt , washed our hands just a little and
ate dirty ice cream & fish balls. we were not afraid of getting germs in
our stomachs.
We had to live with homemade guns " gawa sa kahoy, tinali ng rubberband ,
sumpit , tirador at kung ano ano pa na puedeng makasakitan. .pero masaya pa
rin ang lahat.
We made up games with sticks ( syatong ), and cans ( tumbang preso )and
although we were told they were dangerous, wala naman tayong binulag o
napatay.paminsan minsan may nabubukulan lang.
We walked, rode bikes, or took tricycles to a friend's house and knocked on
the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them to jump out the window!
Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who
didn't pass had to learn to deal with the disappointment. Wala yang mga
childhood depression at damaged self esteem ek-ek na yan. Ang pikon, talo.
Ang magulang ay nandoon lang para tignan kung ayos lang ang mga bata, hindi
para makialam at makipag-away sa ibang parents.
That generation of ours has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem
solvers, creative thinkers and successful professionals ever! They are the
CEO's, Engineers, Doctors and Military Generals of today.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had failure, success, and responsibility. We learned from our mistakes
the hard way.
You might want to share this with others who've had the luck to grow up as
real kids. We were lucky indeed.
And if you like, forward it to your kids too, so they will know how brave
their parents were..
It kind of makes you wanna go out and climb a tree, doesn't it?!

Sibol kids + Me = Happiness
A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to be a pre-school teacher for one day (well, basically it's for 1 hour only lang pala) but the experience and joy it has given me last for a lifetime.Funny but I don't consider myself as a teacher material. Tutor material i can be as I am doing it now in Tuloy Foundation but teaching 30 kids in one room, ibang usapan na yan! What made it even worse was informing me about the teaching gig 15 minutes before office hour ended. To avoid panick i immediately prepared impromptu teaching materials for the kids to learn and some song skits for us to sing as well.
Saturday come, as I walked into the small classroom of Sibol (*) a warm smile greeted me on the door. It was their substitute teacher who greeted me and introduced me to the kids. The mothers/sisters/siblings of the pre-school kids was also there, perching on the wooden windows of the classroom. First thing to teach the kids was how to sing, luckily I still remember what we've sang on the Mongolian night at Anto's night, and the song was.......
"MAKING MELODY IN MY HEART"
O diba, parang it reminds you of your cathechism days nung bata pa tayo =D.
After singing this song FOUR times, i paused for a while to catch my breath, and after a quick rest we resume our class. but this time it's stortelling time naman. Thank God I still remember what i've learned on the storytelling workshop that I've attended before and I must admit I did very well!
Hahahahaha! Ako pa! Try me and see for yourself! =P.
Indeed, this experience with the kids makes me long to have my own kids narin. I believe I will be a good Father and a great tutor as well. Ang tagal naman kasi ni Ms. Right....
Let me share you a verse in the bible referring to how can we enter the kingdom of God in heaven.
[The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven ]
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.
True? why not!
(*)Child & Youth Development GK provides value based education for pre-school children, aged 3 to 6 years old through its program called SIBOL, which means “to grow” in the Filipino language. GK provides a support program for street children of elementary age, from 7 to 13 years old. They are provided with academic tutorials, sports and creative workshops as well as a very solid values formation program through a program called SAGIP, which means “to save a life” in the Filipino language.

An Ultraelectromagneticsupercalifragiliciousexpialadocious experience
Last Sunday, I was lucky enough to be invited to attend Lingkod's anniversary in Makati City. At first I was excited to be a part of the activity of our community, to be familiarize with other branch's members and also be a part of the celebration for Lingkod. But my excitement turned into worry when they announce that we should be at the place at 8:00 am on a Sunday morning and also we need to do a presentation (i.e. we have to dance) at the afternoon affair. O.K. i said to myself, the waking up in the morning on a weekend we can dealt with but the dancing part....uh-oh...hmmmm..."houston we have a problem, a dancing problem that is"!
So, what i did was for the dancing part, we've practice the dance the day before the event (i.e. Saturday) and boy did we preactice very hard talaga! Thank God for JC, Ian and Sheena for patiently teaching us how to dance and the blockings! Eventually, after the gruelling practice we did master the dance steps! Yey! Hooray for Theo! Hahahaha.
(c'mon the last time i did dance with choreography was in first year high school pa, not counting the kotilyon and js prom dance ha! and the rest of my life i just dance in bars and disco where as you probably know, ,dancing there doesn't need choreography. jologs pag choreograph sayaw mo sa dance floor.lol)
So, the dancing part is done. Next to do thing, wake up at 5:45 a:m. Boy, this was really really tricky. Me, waking up at this time of the day on a weekend means away! But being a good servant and a little bit excited about what's store for me at Lingkod anniv I obediently alarmed my phone at 5:45 am and diligently stood up when it alarmed.
I must admit i'm impressed at myself for waking up early and not being grumpy/cranky, maybe it's a good sign that this day will be ah-o.k.
Oh, one more thing, another thing that dreaded me in going to Makati was for me to drive in EDSA. Nyahahaha! I've only drive there once and i had a ka-rellevo (no pun intended) with me but now wala! It's me who will drive all the way to Mayor Binay's Kingdom without any reliever in driving. But hey, luckily i did made it safe and sound to Makati. Maybe God really want me to go there and experience his love and to praise him, nowithstanding the early morning meet-up, the driving along edsa and the dance presentation.
The anniversary start with a mass and guess what, I've been chosen among so many people inside the training area to read the Responsorial psalm!!! I was shocked, happy, scared, doubtful all in the same time. Shocked kasi why me? Happy because i'll be serving the Lord. Scared coz it's my first time to do such a thing! Doubtful, kasi baka joke lang pala to! Well it turned out it was not a joke and i did my part (according to the priest in the mass) very fast! hahahaha! It's not my fault if i read fast, ang mahalaga they heard what I say di ba?
After the mass, its workship time. It was pure joy to worship the Lord and I must admit it was my first time to really sing out loud, raised my hand up high, joyfully sing to the lord in all my life! Sobrang saya ng experience,i cannot explain in words how happy and contented i was during the whole sessions. And the talks was amazing as well, the speakers really inspired us to be a good brothers and sisters not only to ourselves in the community but also to others as well.
Afternoon come and the presentation of each branch was held. We we're the first one to perform, in fairness to us we we're great! Hahahaha. The impromptu cast was fabulously great! Well we did lived up to the title of our song (joyful joyful of sister act 2) kaya we were having fun and joy talaga while we dancing. Nakakapagod but what the heck, we had fun naman, worth it parin ang pagod =D.
I went home very very very happy and feel blessed and yes until now i still had this so-called lingkod anniv hang-over (it's already thursday btw) but i must admit It was one great experience, pede ko pa makwento sa mga taong gustong makinig (or forced to listen to me hehehe).
Dear Lord, Thank you for the blessings you have given to me, thank you for being my saviour, my companion during loneliness,my bestfriend who keep on telling me that everything would be when im depressed, my buddy when i'm desperate for friendships, my conscience when im dealing with mortal sin, my buddy when i needed someone to talked to. Thank you Lord.
All of this I offer to you my Lord. My life and my profession I offer to you. What I do to my brothers and sisters in servicing them and my achievements in my work I offer to you, for you alone are the greatest and the most loving God. I am nothing if you're not here in my heart.
AMEN.

Demanding
While I was driving earlier on my way to work I was listening to maxfm 103.5 and their topic caught my attention. They we're discussing about "rock stars/singers demands before doing a concert", and they inform that:
a. jennifer lopez wants white flowers, white linen sheets, coffee to be stirred COUNTERCLOCKWISE
b. marilyn manson demands a bald hooker without teeth before he starts his concert (yuck!)
c. madonna wants weights, massage, luxurious pampering and a phone call from her kids before she hit the stage.
according to the dj's, these singers actually demand this outrageous whims to test how far can their producer go to satisfy them. most concert artist's alibi is that we're here to entertain you guys, giving you all our best talent, in short "mahihirapan kami dito tapos kayo naman kikita, swerte nio naman' (this is the artist telling the producers of the show).
while pondering on this thought (re:being demanding), i remember the chat i had last friday with Fr. JV of San Agustin parish here in Pque. He told me that the priest's living condition now is not so good, they live on the second floor of the church wherein they slept on wooden floors and they don't have much on their place. I know some people might think its ok for them to live in that way pero at least naman sana they have a comfortable living space sana =(. they are requesting daw their officials for a better living condition but knowing their parish na salat din sa pera their reqiest will automatically shot down.
this thoughts leads me into this: why is't we can't provide our priest, who serves us and make us more closer to god, a better living condition. after all our priest help us to live an eternal life in heaven. hindi ba malaking utang ng loob natin sa mga pari kapag naisalba tayo mula sa tiyak na kapahamakan ng impierno (uh-oh, i sound preachy na dito ah!) pag namatay tayo? kaya hindi na ako nagtataka why some parish priest end up being corrupt, coz the people who are suppose to take care of them didn't do anything to help them!
it really saddens me when i hear fr. jv's story last week, and it cross to my mind as well kung sila fr. jv are having a hard time here in metro manila what more are the parishes in the province..let's say sa mountanous region of benguet or sa southern leyte????
well, siguro it's already included in their duty being a priest to live in a modest life. i just hope they can cope up with their way of life, free from harm and sickness. for you father jv, i admire you're courage and strength, may god continue to bless you and your parish as well.
AMEN.
p.s.
to father jv: i enjoy your talked last friday at our PM. you're one of the best speakers that i've heard. also i enjoy our conversation and the jokes you shared when we're in the car going home. super saya! i never expect this to a 34 y/old father.
i hope we can meet again father!

Baguio anyone??
Our group in Tuloy sa Don Boco we're planning to go to the City of Pies this coming long weekend. Im so excited about this trip coz this will be my first time to go there. Yes casper, it's my first time kaya don't laugh about it pag nabasa mo to, or else wla kang walis tambo pagbalik ko.
As early as today im preparing my stuff to be brought to Baguio. Still undecided if I'm wearing rubber shoes or should i buy a brand new crocs. Di bale bahala na si Lord about it. Still thinking if I'm wearing my super cool but formal na jacket which i bought in glorietta (baka madumihan lang, sayang naman!) or the simple jacket of Arellano U which my sister gave to me.
Did a lot of cancellation of lakad for this event like the 3 day mallwide sale sa festival mall (heck, its a three weekend mall wide sale naman, so i still have some chance to buy a much deserved office pants), the outreach of lingkod sa bilibid (next time bro sama na talaga ako!), visiting old high school friends sa makati (text2 nalang mga sis, mahal gasolina eh!).
Hay, i just hope my co-volunteers will push this trip or else i'll end up cleaning our house during this long weekend.

Capones Fireflies
Oh by the way, one sight that really mesmerize me during our stay in Capones is the sights of FIREFLIES (in tagalog Alitaptap) in the island. Yep, it's true there's a LOTS of fireflies in Capones. Super ganda ng sights of the alitaptap wandering on a large tree near the beach. Then everytime there's a thunder or lightning, naghihiwa-hiwalay sila! Astig! Parang namiss ko tuloy yung giant christmas tree sa Araneta coz parang ganon yung eksena!The last time i think that i saw a firefly was last year, when I was vacationing in Leyte kaso 1 piraso lang na firefly yun =(. But the one in Quezon province (where my late friend Marcel lived) sobrang dami din! Actually it was my first time to see fireflies in throngs (well, being a Manila boy i can only see fireflies in television, wala na kaya nun dito sa Manila) and they were gathering on a very large tree na parang may engkantada na nakatira dun. Spooky but very beautiful.
And one more thing, i still appreciate the fireflies in Capones kahit na i can barely see them coz i've lost my eyeglass earlier on the beach (silly me) but still nagenjoy padin ako.
