Keep Calm The Philippines is Under Care
In times like this, "THANK YOU" words are not suffice to pay back to people/countries who are untiringly working hand in hand sending medical assistance, foods, troops and etc. to the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (Hiayan). World leaders, private organizations and individuals, Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike are extending their prayers, ways and means to help thousands of victims who are under the state of calamity especially in Tacloban, Cebu and neighbor islands where Hiayan left her juice of devastation.
We Filipinos are known for being very strong when it comes to difficulties and trials, but in situation like this "strong" will just be a word and no justice without the help of so many. We are stronger now because of the help of the UN, USA, JAPAN, ISRAEL, INDONESIA, KWUAIT, UAE, KANADA, TAIWAN, GREAT BRITAIN, KINGS, QUEENS, STUDENTS, NGOs, ARTISTS, MUSICIANS and more. Let's face it, tho we Filipinos are not blessed with a well and financially sustained country, but we are blessed with countries full of good people in it. This is a statement that we owns the world. Thank you donors for making the Filipino people feel this way.

Adventure to the less traveled world in lonely planet
"Survivor world
Rio Vitali edition 8th of september 2013 a day before the Zamboanga City siege"
No hindrances for
people like us who wanted to experience another one-of-a-kind adventure while
bonding and reuniting ties which is our own way of small get-together instead
of climbing up neighbor's rooftop and stare the milky way. Another "dream
come true" getaway with friends, a simple adventure yet worth a million
dollar experience. This is our Rio Vitali experience
Six days before
the Rio Vitali superb experience I got a text message from my friend Norman
Ignacio, an invite to go swimming, it was almost a short notice for me because
I already commit to the other group to go caving on the same day but I replied
yes to him with excitement and no hesitation beacuae Rio Vitali has been in my
dream to go to very long time ago. So Norman brought his sister floriza and
also invited his cousins Laling and Popoy Cabayacruz, a total of five adventurer
kuno made their way to Rio Vitali packed with suman de saging and rice made by
Norman's mom for the viand it's all up to us what or where could we hunt for
some but we decided to buy canned goods and tuyo / dried fish along the way
instead of hunting wild pig, fish or birds :)
It took us I
think 15 to 20 minutes to reach the site. Warning to those who want to go to
Rio Vitali river don't drive a city car, you may drive motor bike, habal-habal
or better yet drive your 4wd carabao and fuel up some energy because the road
going there is horrifying. You will encounter a roller coaster ride or more than
that "calling on the attention of the people concerned" Back to our
story, we played, we hunted paku and tahba, we laughed and etc. The rain came
down then sun after, still we managed to give justice to what our adventure
means. We did our survivor version successfully but note this is not just a
survivor USA, Asia or Austrailia this is survivor world Rio Vitali edition Sunday
8th of September a day before the Zamboanga City siege.

Oratio Emperata for Deliverance from Calamities
Almighty
Father, we raise our hearts to you in gratitude for the wonders of creations of
which we are part, for your providence in sustaining us in our needs, and for
your wisdom that guides the course of the Universe. We acknowledge our sins
against You and the rest of creation. We have not been good stewards of nature.
We have confused your command to subdue the earth.
The
environment is made to suffer our wrongdoing and now we reap the harvest of our
abuse and indifference. Typhoons, floods heavy rains and other natural
calamities occur in increasing number and intensity. We turn to You, our loving
Father, and beg forgiveness for our sins. We ask that we, our loved ones and
our hard earned possessions be spared from the treat of calamities, natural and
man-made. We beseech You to inspire us all to grow into responsible stewards of
your creation, and generous neighbors to those in need.
We ask this
through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with you, in the
unity of the Holy Spirit one God, Forever and ever. Amen

Butterfly Kisses
It's June 16, 2013 - I'm not sharing this just because it's father's day but because I miss my sunshine Emily Reese. I maybe the lousiest man on earth 'coz I don't have the guts and balls or maybe didn't have at all to be a father enough to my lovely charming daughter. I know I've been very busy with a lot of stuff lately but all those things I dedicated it to my life and my life is my Emily. I am not that so expressive but hopefully this will serve a record for my baby to read in the near future.
There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
..... Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night.
Your charming face is telling me or perhaps asking me "Where are you dad?" and I do nothing but cry thinking of you. I love you so much dearest Emily, I know this is a lesson to me why I am too far from you since day one to day now.
To Sharon the supermom, hats off.... thank you for this gift.
