my first godchild with a highschool friend




Geanne Firenze L. Castro's Baptism

Sacred Heart Parish
Telebastagan, City of San Fernando
April 28, 2007




Throughout the whole ceremony, the little princess was peacefully asleep. if the baby was a darling, the mother was a real gem! we haven't had the chance to really talk but i felt that she's more than okay. and i even told Gaylord that he's soooo lucky to have Mary Anne as his life partner...

To Gaylord & Mary Anne (and baby Geanne): May the Lord forever bless your growing family. and whatever it is that you'd be needing (that i can provide ^^), be reminded always that i'm just a call away...

our prayers are needed

i know i don't have a lot of readers here but this is one way i can think of to somehow help.

i know (ate) Emilyn Bueno-Cortez, a batch older from Chevalier School, as a sweet lady and her husband is a friend's older brother. when i learned of their only son's condition from this site

http://givehelp-erryl.epinoy.com/

i can't stop my tears. though i haven't met their kid Eryll yet and i am not particularly close to them, simply, a six-year-old boy doesn't deserve his present condition.

monetary help is needed badly, however, prayers are needed more. let us all help in any way we can... thanks! ü

wish me luck (^^,)


i'm planning to sponsor an Academic Quiz Bee among grade six public elementary pupils here in our town (Porac, Pampanga) and hopefully make it an annual event.

basically, i want to do something that would promote "enthusiastic learning" (huh?!) among kids...

personally, i miss my high school days where we would review and prepare for an acad quiz...it's fun! although i must say that i can't remember anything about all those memorized stuff now...i even realized
just three days ago nung may customer na nagpapa-research that what i once loved doing in Chem is called STOICHIOMETRY! haha :D

actually, ever since i qualified for Mensa Phils. over a decade ago i've been dreaming of (co) sponsoring an event like this. also conducting FREE tutoring sessions and even building a free-for-all-to-use public library in liblib areas. but these are big dreams... and now that i can afford to pay my membership dues to Mensa, and that they are planning this scholarship program, i am tied to my work and can't lend a hand for they are based in Manila...

so for now, i'll try to make this work. i hope i can make this. pray for me... ü

a letter for a very dear friend...


this is a letter i wrote last September 2004 for a dear friend whom i lost contact with...anyone who comes across this who knows a certain Ian Tupas ...kindly let him know...ü thanks in advanced!

Half Ian … ilang taon na rin ang nakalilipas mula nang huli tayong nagkita at nagkausap. Kumusta ang buhay? Ano na ang iyong mga pinagkakaabalahan? Huling balita ko tungkol sa’yo ay tumigil ka na raw sa pag-aaral subalit hindi ka naman umuwi sa inyo sa Leyte.

Alam mo, walang buwan ang nagdaan na hindi kita naisip --- kung saan ka na, kumusta na, ano na ang lagay mo --- at sa kadahilanang wala namang sinuman sa mga nakakausap ko ang nakapagsasabi ng kahit isa man lamang na sagot sa aking mga katanungan ukol sa’yo, ako’y nalulungkot. Naiisip ko tuloy yung mga araw na nasa Kalayaan pa tayo…

Napakasimple lamang ng buhay noon subalit pilit nating ginagawang komplikado nang dahil lamang sa hindi pagpansin sa atin ng taong ating minamahal. Pakiramdam ba natin na wala nang mas masahol pa sa dinaranas nating paghihirap ng kalooban. Pero alam mo, ngayon, ‘pag naaalala ko ‘yung kadramahan ko na ‘never ako’ng mapapansin ni Buddy’ na isa sa mga nagpagulo sa konsentrasyon ko sa pag-aaral, natatawa ako’ng naiinis. Biruin mo, iyon lamang ang itinuturing ko’ng pinakamabigat kong problema noon! E ngayon, sisiw lang pala yon kumpara sa mga tunay na suliranin ng buhay! At ngayon, walang kaindi-indikasyon na may isang Ryan na pumasok at nagpayanig sa mundo ko noon. Naaalala ko siya, oo. Siyempre naman. ‘Wag mong sabihing ni minsan ay hindi mo naiisip si MK Guen. At hindi ako maniniwala.

Half, ang hirap pala ng buhay. Ang hirap maging laging masaya. Maya’t maya, may problemang nagsusumiksik at nagpupumilit na harapin mo. Isa lang ang inaasam ko, na sa pagsulat kong ito sa’yo, sana ay hindi tulad ng inirereklamo ko ang kasalukuyang katayuan mo. Sana, masaya ka at wala gaanong problemang kinakaharap. Maging totoo lamang ang wish ko, masayang-masaya na ako.

Stay happy, half! At sana, paminsan-minsan, ‘di mo man ako masulatan, maisip mo lang ako at makapagdala iyon ng ngiti sa iyong mga labi, sapat na.

Mananatiling iyo, Half
