May, a singer from mainland China, suddenly lost her voice
and had conflicts with Ah Lei, her producer and secret lover. In anger, she
came to Old Town of Jingtong where she met Xiao Mo, a warmhearted man. Xiao Mo
helped May find a dwelling place, and introduced her to work at a local
restaurant. Thanks to their constant contacts, they made a good impression with
each other. May found happiness and consolation from the old streets of the
small town, and her voice was getting better and better. However, May had left
her heart at another place. Gradually, Xiao Mo understood that when one
deliberately disappears, one wants to be looked for by others. Along with a

develop towards the uncontrolled direction.

and physique, he becomes the star player of “City Monkey” parkour club. But his
mother strongly disapproves it and hopes he could focus only on his entrance
exams to university. Clashes of different concepts, rebellion of the youth, and
persistence to the ideal are unavoidable problems for them. What would the two
generations do?
Aftershock
Tangshan, 1976. Two seven-year-old twin children are buried
under the rubble of the devastating earthquake. The rescue team explains to
their mother, Li Yuanni that freeing either child will almost certainly result
in the death of the other. She is forced to make the most difficult decision of
her life and must choose between her children. Li Yuanni has no idea that her
decision is overheard by her daughter Fang Deng, the female twin. Although she
has been left behind as dead, the little girl miraculously survives for several
more days before being pulled clear by another rescue team who believe that she
is simply a corpse. She wakes up in the pouring rain next to the dead body of
her father. Suffering from the emotional shocks of the disaster and the painful
memory of her mother's choice, Fang Deng refuses to reveal her identity. She is
adopted by a middle-aged Chinese couple and years later
moves to Canada to marry. Shadowed by the traumatic experiences of the
earthquake and devastated by her mother's decision to abandon her, she
continues to be emotionally withdrawn throughout her adult years.

young son, Xiaochuan, has chosen to stay with him through his difficulties. On
an unexpected occasion, Xiaochuandisplayed an amazing talent for Go, and his
father vowed to support him to further develop his gift for the game. They
confronted challenges, but with courage, persistence and profound love between
father and son, they eventually arrived at the destination towards which they
were heading.
1911 Revolution
As the country enters the new century, China is facing a
crisis. Two warring factions have emerged, starvation amongst the citizens is
rampant and political reforms have made matters worse. The seven year old
Emperor and his mother, Empress Dowager Longyu (Joan Chen), are out of sync
with people’s needs after 250 years of total power. As Huang Xing (Jackie Chan) arrives from his
studies on modern warfare in Japan, he finds himself picking up his sword to
lead a rebellion against the powerful Qing Dynasty and the New Army.
Let’s Fall in Love
Tan Momo, who showed his natural gift in music in his
childhood, entered the Conservatory of Music to learn to play Guqin
(seven-stringed plucked instrument) smoothly. His teacher placed great hopes on
him and his girlfriend Xia Fei had the greatest esteem for him. Upon their
graduation, Momo, Xia Fei and other young people who cherished dreams finally
walked out of the campus and began to experience the ups and downs in real
life. While in front of conflicts between their ideals and family relation,
love and morality, what would they choose…
Li Mi Conjecture
Due to the intervention of her parents, taxi driver girl Li
Mi had to break up with her long-term boyfriend, Fang Wen, who had disappeared
from her life yet seemed to remain connected. For four years, Li Mi had
continued to search for his whereabouts in a constant tug-of-war between hope
and despair. An eerie murder was witnessed, leading her to a man nearly
identical to her missing lover. Could he be the one she has been looking for?
Her life suddenly changes. Then come terrible yet pitiful drug dealers, and
irascible but highly duteous police detectives…Behind the cascades of
mysteries, compromises lie still between those who were once in love.

The Cheerful Box for 2014 and beyond
Why The Cheerful Box?
Literally inside a box we can find a variety of school supplies, reading materials and a lot more, and that box can only be transported through the help of cheerful givers.
For me, as an individual WE don’t have to be financially well in order to help others, time and effort will do. Since many are willing to step up and do their share but don’t know how to reach the kids in the mountain, so as a call for social responsibility I am willing to be a cheerful messenger. For 10 untiring years doing the same thing I personally vouch myself and it’s proven that I’m capable to do so.
The Cheerful Box will remain always open to those who are willing to share school supplies to the needy kids in the mountain. And rest assured that all turnovers will be well documented and accounted.
It is indeed more than personal, helping our needy kids must take great responsibility a responsibility like a father to all, taking care of their needs, although not hundred percent support but at least backup them to help eradicate poverty, it is like giving them the extra tool to go extra mile to their path of education.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”
-Chinese Proverb

My 2013 life at a glance
My 2013 it is " mixed awesome and a bit down" but summing up everything.. all days are smooth.
January to March - I was at the peak of my career back in manila working for a company that somehow taught me to be tough and straightforward dealing with different kinds of people/employee under my shades, although it didn’t prosper because I gave up because I have to leave.. going back here in Zamboanga to see my mom and assist her for her medical appointments and processes.
April - Is the month where I found unexpected new friends, real friends from somewhere I didn’t expect to go but I was able to reach there through my brother “Ricky”. It was an awesome month because aside from having the chance to be in a dream place I also had the great time meeting new friends, friends that are very opposite to my world but we have the same language of communications with the same purpose in life. The place that I am referring to is the Merloquet falls.
May to July - three months of bonding with my parents, meaning, I was jobless, awwww. Terrible months hah? Months that I was doing nothing, eating and sleeping was my favorite past time and I was very busy recuperating from, you know, laziness . But what I am really thankful for during those times, is the precious moment living together with my mom and dad, my true best friends are the only two fans who never leave me during my times when I was out of the spot light. My parents made me feel once again the meaning of care that they are just there waiting for the words to be said from my mouth, the words of a son saying mom, dad, can I rest for a while? Can you help me? My dad said it was the most beautiful and unexpected words came from his son who once was wearing a heart of steel when it comes to asking for help from his parents and now here you are. Before, all I ever wanted is to help them, give them the needs they want and be not a baggage to their lives without even knowing that I am getting farther and farther from them. I have laid my card perfectly, I built the best castle of unity and were able to establish a parapet of understanding so no one can ever trespass our community of love and care.
August to September - Bonding, Swimming, laughing, dreaming and everything. The most exiting months for me, me and my Latuan-Sapa moro childhood friends we were able to experience the best happiness in life again as if we turned back the hands of time to where we used to go and do like swimming. I only have few friends back in our place, but these few are among the best for last, as the song goes by “ If I have only one friend left I want it to be you” and I want it to be them. Sounds selfish but only time can prove and explain to people whom who don’t believe what I’m saying.
October - I thought we (God and I) had a misunderstanding because of a lot of things happened to my life. One of which is that I didn’t ask him the things that I first thought not usable, and then He gave me more than the personal things I asked for. The month of October was so light for me, everything went perfect and so smooth. God explains me once again the meaning of virtue. Life is like a clock we people should not rush our wants, instead pray that we may obtain our needs in due time because waiting for it patiently makes us more determined and strong being.
November - Doors of opportunity opened left and right, I got projects from Manila and met lots of good people. I also went to two different schools in Zamboanga, gave them things/school supplies, supplies from the good people who care for the good future of some needy school children in the mountain. That journey made me more active to my mission in life, the mission that no one can ever destruct even the strongest hurricane. It clearly stated that you don’t have to be moneyed to give back, and giving back doesn’t rely on the status of one person. He who has the heart of giving must be accompanied by someone who has the heart of extending his time and effort to reach others in need. Please visit www.thecheerfulbox.wordpre ss.com
December - The CHOCOBUM month, one of the most wonderful time of the year, I’m sure a lot of you finds so strange about this chocobum word, chocobum is a cocktail drink for men it’s a mixed rhum (tanduay) milo, coffee, and iced tea perfect with crashed ice, my goodness, you can drink it till you drop whit no hangover, take note no hangover at least per my alcohol resistant body So since we all both like the drinks so much aside from it is not that so hard at least the taste but, man.. the impact, you will feel the roller coaster ride even you’re not riding a roller coaster .. hahahha.. so the 3 or four of us agreed to name our group CHOCOBUM boys the last pogi. Again, THE LAST POGI whether you like it or not hahaha.
Time flies so fast, my January to December was a mixed awesome and a bit down but summing up everything, my year was full of uncontrollable happiness because of the overflowing blessings I received all trough out the year.
I am closing my 2013 book with excitement, I can really feel and sense it that I will be out of my bat cave this first quarter of happy 2014 and I can also feel my intense hearth beating somehow saying, hey mr. Bucoy you’ll not only be out of your cave this year but you’ll be flying out of your territory to discover more of what’s in store for you this 2014. Think Positive.

Dare to Care (DTC) Shares Love at Sapa Moro Elementary School
December 18, 2014 - Just in time-together with the teachers of Sapa Moro Elementary School teachers Eden Deleon and Novelyn Galvez through the help of Dare to Care Group from the States, school kids from Sapa Moro Elementary School were able to experience a happy Christmas that added more spirit to their Christmas Party.
A hilly side and 80-100 kilometers away from the City of Zamboanga there lies a very peaceful and beautiful school called Sapa Moro Elementary School, a kinda far from the busy city but the school owns a charm and calm beauty, a paradise for all especially for the students/people who lives nearby. Calm and beautiful at least per my observation.
This School "Sapa Moro Elementary School" is in need more of HELP especially the school kids, where among them are somehow struggling to go to school everyday, some are only wearing busted slippers everyday just to attend classes, that made more sad when I saw some of them when I visited the school.
From this day on, DTC and I and some people with kind heart will continue to give love to these kids and let them feel that they are loved not just for the sake of this season "Christmas" but all the days of their school life.
Thank you so much Dare to Care (DTC) for making these kids feel the true meaning of Christmas.
I would also like to thank my Cousin Emily Bucoy-Delos Reyes for Donating boxes of ballpen, notebooks and colored papers.
Note: This is DTC's second series of Christmas gift giving. First week of December was at Latuan Elementary school.
