REUNITING BACK

It's always good to see old friends back then.Before I came back here in Luzon,I ended studying at Cebu without much expecting that I would earned my first College course,which was eventually the choice of my parents due to the scholarship I obtain from BFAR.
That was the glorious years of the 1990's where I hit Cebu as my chosen place for studying.Much to my strong disagreement,my mother was adamant of my decision.
Afraid to be gradeless and nothingless, I went to Cebu with gusto because of the influential power of my cousin and friends.I never dreamed of going to Cebu but my friends were much more excited because of its tag "Queen City of the South".
Well,I was already in Cebu naive as I was,without idea what really exactly the nature of my course,yet,helpless so to speak.
To sum up,I honestly enjoyed my early youth at Cebu.I was even a member of dance troupe,actively participating the extra curricular.Unusual to carnal were the basic activities you thought to do while staying in the dormitory.
Meeting friends are the most common consumptions of every teen-agers while on the peak of adjusting College.For my 3 long years of studied in Cebu was a great memento to recall specially if you already constructed mutual friendships whom you never met for 13 years now.
Living in a small world as small world as it is,I never thought of meeting a former classmate back in Cebu.It started when I attended a christening in Pasay where another former classmate in Cebu was there attended too,because he happens to be the Uncle of the kid.Thats where I started to have link of my other classmates.
One whom I never imagined to meet in Tagaytay-who was not really so close,yet,a playboy then,had just arrived in the exact season which the length of years that we haven't met right after the graduation was indeed tiding and surprisingly meetings.
Just after the graduation that was 1994,I stayed for awhile in Mactan with the hope I could find my luck in Cebu city.Unfortunately,fate as we may called it seemed to be unkind,so I had decided to go back in Olongapo,then.
That oblivion prevails till I haven't expected that time will heals and brings you back the abandoned memories.So,I met up a former classmates in Tagaytay with his contemporaries in Seminary.....take note..it's not on his personality then the image of an aspiring Priest.????????????????
We exchanged chit-chat as we were trying to dig out the buried time,which I considerately too much to forget.
It was a good temporal reunion but memorable one....time hadn't permitted us to talk for that long for they need to go back...Honestly, I am proud that both of us has changed not just only physically but mentally and emotionally as well.
Words that naturally came out were of deep and unfathomably unlike.
Seeing the other more were also at hand...wishing and pondering when it will come...if there is a bridge of rainbow that connects the other side,it would be easily to greet friends back home.

PHILIPPINES GREAT CONTROVERSY

As I was browsing the net reading blogs, especially the entry of David...I came across in his comment about the recent issues done by two irrisponsible and insensitive individuals....here's what David had said.
Teri Hatcher, Malu Fernandez, and The Daily Show What do they all have in common? All have managed to anger the Filipino community.
Teri Hatcher, an American actress, insulted Philippine medical schools and professionals in a controversial clip from the premiere of ABC’s "Desperate Housewives." Susan Mayer, (played by Teri Hatcher) was consulting a gynecologist and refuses to be examined. She replied: “Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines.” The Philippine government is now seeking an apology from the American television network ABC and the producers of the hit US television series “Desperate Housewives.” The issue with Malu Fernandez, a Manila Standard Today columnist and contributor to People Asia Magazine, occurred a couple of months back and involved her making degrading and offensive comments towards Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and Filipinos in general in her infamous People Asia article. Amongst the animosity and death threats from upset Filipinos, it did not take long before she resigned. And most recently, the American satirical television program “The Daily Show” made a bad and tasteless joke towards Filipinos in their skit “Is America Ready for a Woman President?" They had former Philippine President Corazon Aquino labeled as a slut. Officials and citizens called for a public apology for the insulting portrayal. What is the lesson? Perhaps mothers no longer teach this to their children, but the lesson is simple. “If you have nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” David is right....if you have nothing to say then,,you better shut your mouth...or hire the Black Eyed Peas to sing their song " Shut Up". Not only that,a site owned by a Filipino Bisaya OFW, commented:To think that the paper itself is titled the Manila Standard Today, begs the question as to what kind of standards they are upholding. Indeed with such an article that was written by Malu Fernandez, The Manila Standard Today should have stepped up to the plate and fired Malu Fernandez. People Asia Magazine should never have ran that article as well. In what will turn out to be yet another defining moment in this blogger’s short-lived career, I will again take another stand. This time, I hope that many of our readers will take this to task and spread the word. Just like the spreading of Malu Fernandez’s hateful article has occurred, let us spread one voice to combat such bigotry and intolerance in our nation. I am proposing, effective immediately, the forced resignation of Malu Fernandez, a worthy apology from her, as well The Manila Standard Today and People Asia, and until this occurs, we should all move for a boycott on The Manila Standard Today as well as People Asia Magazine. (Note: this specific post is going to act as a temporary signature campaign, all those who wish to take part, leave a simple comment, with your name and email, and consider yourself as having made a stand.) Email your friends, leave a comment in this section, tell family members, write a blog post, and spread the word, that this boycott is to be nationwide, and that no one should buy The Manila Standard Today until they fire Malu Fernandez and make a proper statement of apology. Just as Senator Ninoy Aquino died in order for our country to prosper against such intolerance and oppression, we too should not let our guard down even to a wannabe writer such as Malu Fernandez.

MAKE DREAMS HAPPEN

Going out of the country or visiting America in particular is one of my tenacious desires or childhood dreams.
Before the day of my graduation was a great controversy, worrying,thinking deeply where to go where to apply,etc.
I think that's the usual feelings of a coming newly grad,mixed emotions of happiness and worries for making the 4 long years of studying successful.Of course,worrying if there's a job awaiting at the gate welcoming you.
Before the formal day of my graduation,an offer came to me to work as Canvasser or let say Sales Representative in layman's term in Texas.
Of course,who wouldn't like to work in USA? who never dream of seeing America? I think 99% of Filipinos were dreaming of that.
Nonetheless,I grabbed the opportunity with the hope it would be a dream come true...it was a guy from Ecuador who recruited me with some of the students in my school.
We excitedly attended the meeting which some of my batch unceasingly contacted thru text and email to the guy from Ecuador,hoping that they could be at the first list.
Seriously,the other went on selling their personal assets and properties just to avail the costly visa and other dues.
To no avail,and because I was also busy sending my resumes' locally and internationally with great hopes that I could land to a stable and good paying job.However,without my knowledged the recruiter called for a second major meeting without informing me,yet,friends who were part of it refused to give me a call nor text.
That announcement went like this,those who failed to attend the second major meeting won't be accepted...in other words,I never receive the invitation and my name was blotted out.Honestly,I was really angry and frustrated to those whom I considered to be friends yet,pretentious but selfish individuals.
However,I was already accepted as teacher in a language Institute,at that moment when the announcement of those who were not included to fly for Texas..well, it was also a blessing in disguise, but I can't help myself to think of my batch who are enjoying their lives in USA right now and thinking puzzly how could those simple students made it to the US Embassy without any problems?
Truly,I still feel the pain of being betrayed.Herewith,are some of the pictures with my batchmate as they are enjoying the imported lives in US.I stole these pictures at their friendster accounts without asking permission.
But the persons behind of these pictures were good pals of mine..so no need to worry at all.The following pictures below owned by some good pals but they aren't the one I am mentioning above..they are innocent though.
