Tama na muna ang pagkabanal. hehe
Well, great that NBA is back.. Siyempre..
West teams, my fave are OKC at DAL pa din. East teams, MIA and CHI.. That's it, 66 game schedule fine, not much player movements at importante sa lahat, odds ah sorry, maglaro na. =)
Great K-CON, hoping to be back next year.
I just got back from St. James bazaar, congrats kay Raims.. Wow, it paid off, I hope those new contacts you got will work for you.
Ah, may mga namove na naman ako na blogs, pero sure na next month. hehe
For the past weeks, great na ok naman ako in health.. Yun nga lang tuloy ang inom ng iron.. Ah, sa shop, nakakabawi na malamang kasi holidays na. Maawa naman sila no. hehe Work? Good naman kaso well... After everything is very fine at work.. Bad happens.. =(
Naisip ko nga yun K-CON parang iba yun nangyari sa kin ha, baliktad.. But well, I can't blame him.. I treat it as a test.. Breakthrough, or a pause perhaps. What I feel in this coming holidays.. Quite gloomy for me. But I know, he will just provide. =) Always.
Yeah, speaking of bad news, no one won the race to 2012 contest. Damn, 3 years ang bilis ha.. Kakain na naman kami sa ngayon na mahal na Mister Kabab. hehe
Ah yes, may mga firm decisions na din ako for next year. I just hope na maayos na at higit sa lahat, it's time to do this for myself. hehe Change for the better, alam ko lagi ko sinusulat to pero malamang next year, kailangan na talaga.
I want to thank pala ang mga nagcomment sa blogs ko.. Yun lang, thanks for reading. That will be the best compliment, just reading it. Comment, added bonus. =)
I was kind of lost or in a blank state, after ng hardwork at sobrang saya sa work, well.. Good things won't last for long.. For me, sayang lang kasi. Kung kailan madali, next to none and less stress work at masaya, and my plan.. Ganun na lang.. Grabe... The full reaction? Next month's entry. hehe Sorry.
For now, I'll just enjoy kahit papaano ang holidays until January.. Do the hard work..
I haven't watch Breaking Dawn which I don't have to. I want to watch, hmmmm sayang yun Cinemanila, nandun yun mga trip ko panoorin from Sleeping Beauty, 13 assassins ulit to Wu Xia. Bwisit. hehe Ah, this holidays, siguro yun AiAi and Vic combo. hahaha
Yeah, ah.. Nah, tama na ang boy pick up.. hehe I hope na din, maayos ang mga xmas party ha.. Unlike last year, lalo na yun ibang xmas party diyan.. Kahit upuan sana meron kami at di lang gulay at kanin lang ang handa. hehe
Oh boy, for now I have mixed emotions. Maybe I just need to be free a while. Damn, planado na eh..
By the way, I think KC should talk to Carmina. hehe
Maybe I just need to sleep... Pray na din..
He might have better plans for me.

classics: Tetsuo the Iron Man
I can't believe this will be a cult classic. Even there are many japanese films that can be an instant classic or perhaps worth to keep as a classic such as Kurosawa's films.. Some of them, although bizaare or shock driven to your senses.. Made it classic.. In my top 10 of Japanese films, most of them directed by present and living directors. Some of course from Akira and one from Mifune.. This one well.. Suprisingly, included.. At least top 5..
A man who is well, found of metal sticking to his legs, and after he done it, he saw maggots on it due to infection perhaps, run crazy and unfortunately got hit by a car. The driver of the car, well, unfortunately speaking to his girlfriend about what happened and they agreed to forget about it. However, strange things happened to the dude, as he going to work, he saw a woman transforming to a metal lady, showing some scraps on it and try to catch the dude.. Woman was killed because the dude also showing some signs that he is transforming to a metal dude. As minutes and hours goes by, as the dude went home, well, every part of his body is transforming then he called his lovely girlfriend. Then, girlfriend arrives, meet the dude, and yes, girlfriend is asking what's happening.. All of the sudden..
Dude's body began to transform to a metal freak monster, including well.. that part.. Girlfriend obliged and she was killed eventually but revives into the same metal chick but due to the dude's new power, he was able to destroy it. But there was another being shown after the death of the girlfriend. Through the TV, the being revealed as the metal fetish, the one was killed due to the car accident. Dude was surprised and well, got angry because the metal dude wants to kill him off as a revenge. The dude rushed outside and find this metal dude.. They fought in the metal factory, as the original metal dude killing the other dude, he wants to absorb him for another power but suprisingly, the other dude became powerful as well.. Finishing the original dude, and as he going to celebrate, something weird happened..
In the end, they became one big metal monster, promising to kill all and don't care if they rust, as long they will dominate the world because of this immense power they have. Eventually, they loved each other for the metal power.. Sound gayish? But the looks of it, nah.. That kind of monster.. Yikes!
Yes, that film for me, indeed a cult classic. One of the best films made not only from Japan.. But in history! I know many might not agree. Of course, let's go to the minor flaws of the film. First is the dialogue, I mean, the script is not really long or many due to the shouting, cursing but sentences or conversation? Not really much.. I mean they did explain it at the end, but that is so long.. Lastly, hmmmmm although many happened or it was delivered great in a span of time, I hope it was a longer film. It did not even reach 85 minutes and with all those fast pacing effect, yeah.. I hope there was a little bit of story like the metal fetish dude, or even the simple dude.. But yeah, they go right away to the action!!!!!!!!!
Ah yes, don't be surprised, they did not say any names in the film. I don't even know or even in imdb, there is no name tetsuo but what I guessed is tetsuo, the metal addicted dude. But anyway..
Fun parts!!!!!!!!!!
One is the soundtrack, that sound, damn.. I should find it, punk electronic sound that really fits in the movie.. Namely, the intro piece of the movie. Another is well, actors, suprisingly, if you watched Ichi the Killer, Jiji.. The old man detective who pawned the 2 main characters, was the director of this film.. He is the metal fetish dude. Wow, I just noticed it when I stared his face, very young dude. At that time. hehe I mean, great acting for him, and for the other dude, yes, especially his evolution from a simple salaryman to a metal maniac monster. Even his girlfriend, quite kinky but well she done her part. hehe
One interesting factor is well since the director is also a good photographer.. The theme black and white really fitted into the story. Especially the last parts which I thought, black and white is good for the metal theme story. Another thing, yes, even it has a simple story.. Wow, it's a good written one, not complicated, not too simple.. Just right with it's theme. Actually, it may give some lessons as well.. Maybe one time in our history, we might be eaten or be dependent so much with metal. Not literally the metal but things around us, it may consume us in the future.. So, that's my take about it. But simply great written story, because with it, the pace is very fast and I never got bored even a single second.
The greatest factor I like this story.. The special effects. You might wonder, it's look like a HS project but damn.. It worked effectively.. I don't think any other stop motion films delivered good results than this film.. The chases scene, the transformation as well, it looks like not edited, like cut scenes. The transformation scenes look like real.. Hmmmm yeah, using more of recycled metal, meaning even with a very low budget, Shinya made some substitute to make the effects work through recycling, stop motion and yeah.. The black and white film. Shinya made a great job of doing this film, I can't believe the experience when I watched this.. Will definitely wants you more of it.. A very experimental tight budget film that works. I did not see any other film in this decade.. Maybe others, like District 9, Cloverfield or Blair Witch perhaps.. But this one.. Experiment works.
Although the 2 sequels, I haven't watch it but it has bad reviews about it, especially part 3.. But I'm not going to go for them..
This one is enough already.. No need for those sequels. Bad to the metal!!!!!!!! yeah. Even, please no remakes for this movie. Leave it alone.
Instant classic. Watch it. =)

Grand Feast
Oh God, why I'm walking from Taft to CCP.. Geez.. I'm in a hurry as well..
I was sweating hard and really in a hurry to get there on time. I hope the mass is delayed.. Whoa.. But oh well, when I reached the opening of CCP open grounds, it was already the homily.. Damn I missed the important part.
However, after looking for my seat with my lovely CG, there I found a sleep after a long 40 minute walk.
It is the Christ the King Celebration last Sunday, so the K-CON is also following the liturgical year of the Catholic Church. Next year, I believe that will be the same thing. Looking forward to that!
Anyway, after a great homily by the bishop.. It was actually a well ordered mass, even with a lot of people spanning the whole open grounds, it was not disorganized.. After that spiritually filled mass..
Everybody is waiting for the Grand Feast!!! Yehey.. However, some commercials first.
Sing and dance by the Awesome Kids, great number and worship from the Feast builders.. K5 never stop to dance and party!
Some raffle draws for Ipad, free books and yes, trip to HK.. With Disney trip.. Hay.. Unfortunately, no one in our CG got lucky.
Of course, after all of it, everybody is waiting Bro Bo. Even me, as a first time attendee in K-CON and this is like the culminating activity for the past 3 days. It started and yes, the presence of him and the word of God came. It was magnificent.. Blessed..
Suprising though, his talk is about the start of a new series about Transformed. He started the first part of the series.. Quite lucky!!! Teaching how to think like Him. Wow, simple words, but it's hard to think and do.. Be like him, and definitely to follow his will for us. Of course, the difference of thinking like him, and you as a person to think of. That is hard to do.. Indeed.
After that talk, worship, singing.. I did not dance though, at the first part, I was thinking I hope something different will happen. I asked that because every week, or Sunday, this is what we do. The only difference is we are a lot! But at the second half, something is different this time.. Especially when we instructed to look up and close our eyes.. It's free feeling.. Nothing bothering you and yes, light showing upon me.. A different light. I prayed and hope, after this Grand Feast, what I do, is for the glory of God. Him.. Jesus will be always through my side for this long journey.. Holy Spirit will give strength and wisdom to do such feat in this ironic life..
I thanked him for everything.. Past, present and future of me.. I know I've done bad decisions.. Or I let down of him through poor actions.. But as I hear the wind coming through me.. I felt in my heart, I heard something, it is never too late. I thought I was punished for such actions or deeds, but God for me. Although Bro Bo says God doesn't punish.. For me, God is forgiving.. He does punish or penalize you but in the end.. He wants you a better person.. A better follower of Him. I loved him.. And I hope his love will endure for all of us.. All of us even in different faith.. Save and guide us to the right path.
After that moment.. I was struck and fully understand that day.. Even problems are like a speck of your shirt.. Just wash it off even that problem was quite big. Or quite small.. Think like him and all be shown in the right way. =)
It was a blessed evening and we had some photographs from different feast builders.. From 4 of the K5 and yes, one of my inspirations, idol!! Bro. George and I was able to talk to him a bit, say thank you and I said, I also gone through it.. The only difference is I'm still single and searching perhaps. Damn I hope Jo Ivan is there, Bro. Alvin is his mirror. hehe
Everything I learned for that 3 days, from me a regular didache reader, now part of the Feast.. Is marvelous. I just hope I can continue this all through in the service of all. For my Family, Friends, CG and of course.. The magnificent one.. God. The redeemer Jesus Christ. The fire in our faith, making some things, important things possible, Holy Spirit.
Well, was there any effects after that 3 day journey? Indeed.. There are some bad news and good news... One thing is for sure, I know what my heart says.. I know understand what He says.. All I need to do, is to do it. =)
Ah yes, for the CG, thanks for coming, see you next year!!! Good luck for those who wants to volunteer for K-CON.. hehe Me? not yet.. I'll see..
Even right now, quite confused and lost.. Due to what's happening now.. Now I'm thinking.. Maybe this is his breakthrough for me, we'll see. =)
From Glory to Glory.

K-CON Singles
wake up around 6am and left house around 7am.. Geez, I don't want to be late.. But after that fun filled Friday, goes Saturday with some of my CG friends.. I choose this stream, because simply I'm single.. Wanting to discover more not only how to get into a new relationship but about life itself a single one.
It's in a different venue, at Aliw theater but when I got there, it was lining up.. Wow.. I wish I could stay for a while and sleep but I can't.. After one hour, due to some techinical delays.. We went in!! With the red carpet style and says hollywood style with gowns and some set up.. I was able to sit near at the stage and yes, sleep for a while. I have somebody beside me, but left.. I have no other people besides me.. Geez..
It started with a worship with Enchong look alike Bro. Didoy which is a good musical director, then the host.. Mayi, quite perky and fun! Quite good looking as well. Wow. They had a great band as well.
Singles stream started with Raoul Roncal, he has a very long introduction but simply he's a theo prof in ADMU. By the way, the program gone smoothly even a long delay, in Oscars style. With many look alikes and even us, needed to name somebody you look like. Damn.. You know Who am I in those lookalikes..
As the first talk started, even others quite fell asleep.. Me I was awake because of it's topic. Christian on Call.. Meaning do you have really a calling from God. He simply discussed that by the 2 famous stories in the bible. One is the rich young man who cannot leave everything to God because he has many possessions. The other one is the Yes of Mary, which the angel appeared to her and said yes to give birth for our Savior Jesus Christ.
The talk gave details whether you can really serve God in your situation and another thing is if what you do gives you life, happines or purpose. That gave me a sign again about my plans for next year. Geez.. He ain't gonna stop telling me that.
It was like theo class perhaps but very fulfilling perhaps.. Although the pace is quite slow and boring at some parts, but well.. For me, that's fine.. I like listening in a class with a good prof in front of you.
Second talk was about, oh well.. If you see the PLDT DSL commercial, the one who plays the mom, well, Sis Rissa has a simply beautiful face and everything about her. Bro. George, I saw him in the CMMA one night and he is indeed short at stage but big at heart serving God. Great thing, they are both together in one stage. Talking about is anybody out there? Indeed.. There is and how to get one.. They gave interesting tips by reading some letters. I was enjoying that segment, especially Bro. George story about with so many things to consider before having a girlfriend. That is so like me before.. It was hard but well, I still had a relationship but not really in my standards.. I found a girl which I felt more than my standards except from some qualities. Oh well..
Sis Rissa part, she spoke about the factors to think of and yes, her story as well about this topic. She had a difficult one because she decided to get married in a late age but lucky for her and God's grace, everything was given to her at the right time. I had fun when she said that in her dating stage before, she said looking somebody to be married not a boyfriend. Yikes if you're the guy, you gotta think twice.
That topic alone, enlighthen me that day.. Well said by both of them, I enjoyed it, I felt what they said, is true and I'm doing for sometime, it's just.. No new partner.. A lady can enlighthen my life again.. Sigh..
But never give up on that perhaps.
Third talk, I was suprised, it's the sweet couple of Maribel and Dr. Allan Dionisio. And their topic is the same that I listened in the Singles Night out! Only shorter. Interesting though to remember their topics and tips.. It's just that, I hope they discussed other topics. It was fun though.. And yeah, in the future if I'll get married, it's better to attend their marriage seminar.. I recommend their love institute.. I had the right theory about meeting partners.. Collect and collect then select! But seriously, it doesn't work all the time.
The last one, from Bro. Randy, he is damn funny.. His topic was all bout blessing in work. I mean Friday it was discussed but that is with leaders.. This one simplifying, work is a blessing.. Thanking God you have work.. Anointed to have work which is blessing to others. Although it was short due to time, I am quite struck about that anointing part.. Damn.. I'm blessed with this work I have and I should cherish it while it lasts or even in my future career.. Another sign indeed.
Surprise, after that talk! Bro Bo visited and gave some words about the K-CON and as a bonus, he answered some questions.. For singles only!! There was one question he answered that really.. This is not only a coincidence but a eye opener for me.. I was shocked.. I can't believe.. Well, it happened to him.. That's all.
After a long day, then it ended with worship and some aura coming to me at that time, maybe I was sleepy but it energized me, because of the talk today and ended with a prayer..
I met with the CG mates and ended up again, but no so late, but near midnight.. This time.. I had better sleep and rest..
I'm looking forward next year, not Singles anymore, but Faith or Inner healing perhaps.. All I can say, that this Singles stream gave an educational insight about my status. I hope I can change that status sometime.. Not too soon or not too late.. =)
By the way, great stream and I had lot of fun!!! Congrats to the organizers of the Single Stream. Congrats to my college, Tin!! For winning being look alike.. Eva Mendes! Wow..
And yes, the signs.. Definitely pointing me to that direction. It's a long journey.

Thanking God you have work.. Anointed to have work which is blessing to others. Although it was short due to time, I am quite struck about that anointing part.. Damn.. I'm blessed with this work I have and I should cherish it while it lasts or even in my future career.. Another sign indeed.
Surprise, after that talk! Bro Bo visited and gave some words about the K-CON and as a bonus, he answered some questions.. For singles only!! There was one question he answered that really.. This is not only a coincidence but a eye opener for me.. I was shocked.. I can't believe.. Well, it happened to him.. That's all.
After a long day, then it ended with worship and some aura coming to me at that time, maybe I was sleepy but it energized me, because of the talk today and ended with a prayer..
I met with the CG mates and ended up again, but no so late, but near midnight.. This time.. I had better sleep and rest..
I'm looking forward next year, not Singles anymore, but Faith or Inner healing perhaps.. All I can say, that this Singles stream gave an educational insight about my status. I hope I can change that status sometime.. Not too soon or not too late.. =)
By the way, great stream and I had lot of fun!!! Congrats to the organizers of the Single Stream. Congrats to my college, Tin!! For winning being look alike.. Eva Mendes! Wow..
And yes, the signs.. Definitely pointing me to that direction. It's a long journey.
K-CON Free concert
After the leadership conference, of course.. There was a free concert. Actually at that time, I'm just waiting for a text from my closest friends but well, she was not available at that time.
I decided to go with April and enjoy the concert, besides it's free and it has a good lineup of performers. Even I have so many things to do, why not enjoy sometime!
One hour passed with all the pushing and confusion about the lines outside the hall, well.. We went in and quite lucky we can go to the previous seating in the leadership conference. However, the usher wants us to go closer, then why not? We are in middle and more closer at the stage.
Then the concert started and yes, surprise! JB magician is back! This time, more longer routine and fun magic.. I had some great laughs at that one. Then, he instilled reflections in his magic, which is true. Great thing about that performance, well, it was not boring.. It was fun all the time! Great thing to start the concert.
After that, well I forgot but correct me if I'm quite wrong. The performers were K5.. Brothers Obet, Alvin, Jon, Arun, and Adrian.. Beatles style! By the way.. Sad news, no Arnold Clavio. Damn. K5 did a great job, especially when they put their wigs. I was laughing and had fun.. However, damn beatles songs.. I don't know most of their songs. Geez.. But yeah, not bad for them..
4 sisters arise after that, Cercado Sisters is the name of the group and yes they are sisters. They sang some pop songs which for me, I don't really listen to. But the crowd had fun.. Great group and I can say, they can perform individually.. Definitely and I am thinking, their parents are quite lucky.. Having 4 children well, they are now ladies perform good. Maybe they want to stick together to avoid rivalry perhaps.. I can say, they can have each of them.. A career.. Vocals are good, they have the moves. The looks as well.. I thought the one who is the youngest, is the one, the eldest of the group. Great! I think I'll going to The Feast QC to see them as part of Music Ministry. Forget PICC. =)
Surprise, the next performer is not in the program.. Actually she is supposed to be in the single parents stream but long and behold, Ai-Ai came out! Wow. That's free for you. This part of the concert I can say, I laughed the hardest because of her stand up jokes and how she performs. Indeed, she is talented, for me, hands down, an icon.. I think, no lady comedian can really surpass her especially in this industry... They are some who are trying, but well.. She is uncomparable.. I think I'll watch the Enteng ng Ina Mo movie in MMFF.. Vic and AiAi in one movie. Epic!
After that raunchy and funny performance, Top Suzara is the name of the dude in freestyle band. I just known that while I'm reading the booklet. He wrote one of my fave OPM songs. Before I let you go.. Hay... Sigh.
The first song, I did not like it.. I even asked April, what is the name of the song after he sang it.
Second song until the end.. It was freestyle days.. Yihee!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I hate those songs.. But it was fun and even it's almost 10pm, wow.. I was alive!!! Its just that first song.. He should sang other pop songs.. But great artist, I don't know why he went solo? Hmmmmm
Next one, well.. They marched the stage wearing their yellow shirt says 25th anniversary. Bukas Palad group well, I can say.. That is the group for weddings! I mean a great choir which can combine in a resounding voice, that's it!! Great and how they work together, it's simply great. Hmmmmm, very interesting group. Although they did not sing any pop songs, more on inspirational songs, I was not bored. There are many nice looking gals in that group..
Anyway, next one.. This should worth looking at.. Barbie. I can't believe well, she is working alone, of course in her 3 member band but yes, she is the only one famous. Damn, can't take my eyes out from her. Can't you believe she is married and I think has a kid or two, but for short, she's a mom! Still rocking hard and great guitar playing. Wow, and she has a praise album, I mean spiritual album.. Damn.. Why some ladies when became older, they became more beautiful. Just a thought.
The sad part of her, well, she only sang 3 songs and the set up is longer than she was playing in the stage. But great band she has, from the girl drummer and mohawk bassist.
Then, after that, some worship with K5 and Bro. Bo.. I think Bro. Bo should, sing all the time. Just a feedback.. =)
I was lucky being watched that concert.. And more blessed because it's free.. Even I ended up at home.. 1am. Whew..
Thank God for Friday.

K-CON Leadership
That just gave me, around well, less than 20 hours of sleep in 3 days..
Around less than 3 hours for all the travelling and preparation for those 3 days..
However, 1 thing is for sure.. It gave me and all of us, 1 glorious gathering for God!
Receiving Jesus guiding grace! Blessings from the Holy Spirit!
The light shines upon us in our darkest times... All revealed in his Glory!
Wayback 2009, I did buy a ticket for this event, but due to the place that I'm going to set in which was General Admission space, geez.. I changed my mind and did not come at that Conference.. But I promised one day, I'll definitely go to this Kerygma Conference. Besides, even I read Didicahe everyday, I think it's is still better to see Bro. Bo and other writers/sharers in Didache in person.
Thanks to the Feast, and CG, my dream of going to the conference came true! Buying the early bird tickets then getting a free shirt and yeah.. I know it's worth to wait!!! Oh God, I can't believe I'll be going to the Conference.. At last.
After my work Thursday night, I went home early to prepare for Friday's conference.. Leadership seminar. Well, even yes, I am a owner/manager in my small shop and yes, a worker in 24/7, maybe the notion of buying for Leadership seminar for additional knowledge or I'm thinking some signs as well..
Of course, all of us can be a leader but how? How to be a good leader? The signs that I'm looking is for my future decisions.. I don't how or when I'm going to learn it but I am hoping I'll find it.
Damn, my usual sickness, falling asleep syndrome.. Struck me at 11am and I forgot to do my routine for Friday so, I woke up around 5:30am and finish the errands for the shop and hope I won't be late.
I was not late and I am quite very early.. Ate at KFC and still thinking what to expect in the conference. I wished, it won't be boring like the previous conference I've been. Specifically.. College days..
After eating good at KFC and it's already 7:30am, I went to PICC and get ready for the conference. Good thing there is a kit with lots of advertising stuff.. A free book and book marks.. Magazine and yes, calendar and pen. Great!
I expected there will be a delay at this rate.. The hall is not yet filled but there are many patrons still coming in. Techinical crew are going nuts because the stage and other equipment still not yet set up.
Suprise came and April is my seatmate.. So, I won't be bored and the same time, fell asleep again!
April told me that the ticket says it is the number besides me.. I don't know if it's luck or coincidence.
Anyway, as we talk, around 9am.. The Leadership conference started already!!!! Yehey.. It started with prayer and worship and some important introduction about the day's event.
First speaker was Bro Pio Espa�ol, which is the executive director of LOJ.. Quite interesting about his talk because about God's calling to Leadership. He left his work, a very high position in SMC to serve LOJ. Although it was not easy for him because of his dues, payments, family needs.. He trusted Him to lead his life..
Indeed it was worth the sacrifice.. Now, he is indeed happy, especially how his family grown until now. He thought some interesting points, especially whether you want to prioritize in life. I mean not only serving Him, but if you other things to think about that you want to do, then think about it.
Second talk, well, it's Anthony Pangilinan. At first when you look at him, my first impression is well.. He looks quite boring and not interested to give a talk. Honestly, his appearance well.. Yeah, you'll not be enjoying. However, after his small intro, that is it!!!!!!!! Wow, truly a good motivational speaker. He talks about leadership qualities per se, but one quality he emphasize is really, a leader should know how to influence people.
Then, he discussed the 5 levels of leadership, not in detailed which I hope he put into, but gave general info about each level. Another thing is, whatever you're doing, if you want to be not only a leader but good at something.. You should have heart, passion, meaning loving what you do, no matter what. And the second one, is you should have the skill of doing such things. Or assigned job. That time, I was like, I don't have the first one.. Quite weird for me..
He is very funny especially when he talks about celebrities since he is a celebrity, and you know who are those celebrities.. I was laughing everytime he wants to poke somebody to your left and right. That was fun and his lines as well..
I can say, those first 2 talks, I can say it's worth it already.. Especially Anthony's part because it shares not only his life but also sharing what those experiences incorporate to his talk. Not only in simple terms, but in detail. I think I should enroll in his John Maxwell series.. Wow.. That's why I'm not suprised if he is doing many talks around here and abroad. He is great! Definitely, if you see his promotion about his courses or leadership series, it's worth it.
As I joking April of going home already, because of the 2 very inspirational talks, well.. We didn't go home of course. After worship, we ate to the expensive carinderia. Geez.. Pay more, you get less food.. Great thing I ate so much at breakfast.
After the lunch break, 3rd talk came and it's about finding joy at work. Being a leader at work perhaps, being discussed by Bro. Jon Escoto. Well, I remember and read the manual, it's glory at work. The topic was simple but it gave an insight that you should be very blessed with the work you have. It is not only for yourself but it's a blessing for others. I did feel that, especially what I'm doing right now at my work. My work not only helping or enjoying myself but helping as well, especially to my dear parents.
That leads to another talk, the 4th one, which is The Soul Leader by Jo Ivan's look alike, ah sorry, it's Bro. Alvin Barcelona. As talented he is, he started with playing drums and sort of sounds, continously.. It's like giving life to the crowd, yes at that time.. I'm quite sleepy already.. It's afternoon and yes, it's cold inside the PICC.
The talk was about, as being a leader, you should have a soul to instill to your followers or colleague. It teaches about having a good relationships to your colleagues or peers such as professional and personal relationships. He shares as well, with those relationships, colleagues should be happy even you're present at work or organization, or even you're not there all the time. If you're not present, meaning, you should able to delegate greatly to your other peers so the chain of command or even the aura of the leader will be still there at your group.
It was short but very lively at that part.
Then there was a short entertainment by JB the magician which gives another energy to the crowd. Fortunately, I did not volunteer. Nice! It was fun though..
Lastly, Bro. Bo, came in and give a talk about what it takes to use or to have a power of a Leader. Actually, one strucks me at his talk is, a leader should not give up on improving his group or organization or anything you put up. Accept failures, challenges and still of course, humble yourself. The best example? How he grow LOJ for what is it now. From a dwindling group 5 years ago, to a growing family until now. He shared the pains and how the Feast was set up through advices from different leaders.. I was surprised, that almost the well known charismastic leaders, he came to them for help. Wow, that shows a true leader who wants improvement not for himself, but for LOJ. Damn, I cannot even do that in my shop.
Anyway, after that short talk.. Insipring and a great one.. It leads to some ministry and worship time and ends the conference with a lot of wisdom of becoming a true Leader. I can say, and always they say, all of us are leaders at its own right, the only difference is, it's how you show of you are a Leader. How you influence people.. How you lead them to the right path.
I can say, yes.. After Anthony's talk, that's it.. It's damn worth it, but I'm not saying I disregard the other speakers, it's just he's talk is very different from the other speakers. I hope next year, they can invite other industry leaders or experts when it comes to this topic. I hope they do.
Well, but wait there's more! Best things in life, some of them are free..
The next event, we are quite lucky to watch.
Caring Group
We were having fun earlier because of that stupid but fun commerical of one famous coffee brand... Grabe with emotions pa ha. hehe
This year, I met new set of friends, at not from work, at definitely not from the schools I enrolled. =) Not even my kapitbahay or acquaintances, FB friends or even multiply.. How about the dying friendster? Nah, di ko na siya binubuksan..
I met these interesting people to this somewhat group, called caring group. Ah, siya yung pantapat sa evangelization ng other churches.. Sample eh yun sa NSOLL, na I got into once pero sobrang serious and they discussed it in a murky way.. Quite depressing perhaps.. One time eh I'm out..
Quite after that, years perhaps and I was invited to the Feast by my best friend.. Which I'll share it later.. =) After the Feast, I go sa aming CG, tawag namin. It is a group of individuals which shares what happened sa buhay in a week, then share din kung ano effect ng talk sa aming buhay.. And kung may ishare na problema na pwede itulong na group eh kasama na din.. Tapos prayer intentions na din, wishes.. Counselling pala, and most of all, fun!!!! Saka Q&A na din for some topics na kailangan ng clarifications..
Actually, di naman siya requirement but Bro Bo says, try to join one, eh kami ni Rheg looking at the list, and we saw a singles caring group. Yes, there is a theme or common interest kind of thing sa every caring group. I want to join sana sa Businessman/Entrep, or Anime.. Or IT sana.. Kaso all of them, after 2nd session.. Kakatamad na! hehe Then we saw na mayroon for after 1st session under a certain April Di�o, which at that time, wala na kaming clue pero after 1st session eh. Sign na kami and the rest, pretty well blessed.
At the first meeting, ahmmmm nawawala kami at di namin alam san kami, then ayun.. Biglang may mga naghahanap din under her name, so kami naman ni bes eh usap sa kanila.. Then all of the sudden, there is this lady quite young, advising us meeting in her own CG sa labas ng reception hall.. With the other members.. So, ayun.. Pwesto na at every Sunday.. The Feast won't be complete, without this great CG.. A company of souls searching for answers.. Or souls who are looking a place to rest for a while..
A group of souls thristing of serving God. How to do it or even how to enrich this spiritual life other than listening to the Feast. Besides, we are made to serve others. God. Love as well in the Glory of Him. =)
Ah, no.. Even kami ay halos single.. Ah yes, may mga couples din kami, like BF and GF kaso considered pa din na single sila, di pa pwede ata sa couples CG. hehe
Ah, what I like sa CG is I was able to meet different kinds of people. From a simple worker, to an Account manager.. Others naman, simple corporate employee.. Banker, Auditor, BPO slaves. hehe Counselor, Engineers, Writers.. Admin, and other professionals din, at my businessmen din.. Kulang na lang politician. hehe
But almost all of us, status eh Single. For me, at first, wala naman ako ineexpect masyado. Siguro, isa lang.. Maiba naman ang ginagawa ko sa buhay and to meet other people of God. Or if possible, other poeple na din, especially who needs help.. Parang vocation na din..
As Sundays came and gone.. May mga problems din kami naencounter. Minsan nga nagkataon malungkot lahat.. Or minsan masaya din lahat. Pero isa sigurado, everytime kami magkikita.. Sigurado lahat stressed sa mga ginagawa namin in personal lives. hehe
Pero as time goes by, we are getting closer as activities we do.. The advices we give each other, the help and support and most of all, the reflections and prayers we do to overcome these difficulties. At ang pinakafavorite ko, since I want to really.. Serve God in other ways, like outreach and service.. The activities we've done, sobrang nakakatulong sa min, to realize not only how blessed we are, but how much needed to work for to serve others. Meaning, God's calling to bring more people to gather his harvest.. Yes, bring more people na din sa The Feast. hehe
Activities like visiting orphanages.. Doing social work sa Gawad Kalinga.. Helping other organizations na din or sama na sa ibang CG.. Ang dami na namin ginawa.. Kahit nakakapagod at minsan nakakainis due to the situation, eh God's will prevails.
After the activities, tulog na lang katapat at pahinga. hahaha
Siguro sa lahat ng ginawa namin.. Actually lahat nagustuhan ko, pero yun pinakagusto ko.. Hmmmm sa December ko na lang sabihin.. hehe And 2nd eh, Grace to be Born activity namin kasi talagang sumaya ang mga mothers and unwanted children dun nun nagvisit kami. Third is, yun sa Priest retreat house! Ah, hindi pala, sa He Cares activity namin, kasi nageffort naman ako.. Dami kong dala. hahaha
Ah mayrun pa yun Singles night out.. Actually ayoko ko nun.. Ayoko nun kinanta ko. . =)
But anyway.. Kahit minsan gusto ko magpahinga muna ng Sunday due to the works I'm doing everyday.. One of the reasons na pumupunta pa din ako every Sunday is to meet always this CG. Tamang tama naman talaga yun name na Caring Group kasi talagang nag cacare kami sa isa't isa. Naks!
Siguro.. Isa lang yun medyo ayoko o minsan kakatamad, honestly.. The long hours in our CG.. Mas mahaba pa yun CG kaysa sa The Feast mismo.. Hahaha minsan umaabot pa kami ng 3rd session because of it. Pero because of God's grace, nasanay na kami, at mantakin mo, may mga bago na kaming kasama at natiyagaan na kami. Hahaha
That's why.. I always say to my CG, I'm looking forward every Sunday, to see them and have fun together.. Yehey!!
I'm not sure, maybe one day, nothing stays forever naman.. But for sure, what we're building will be beneficial in time, God's time.. Friendships build in this session really changed me, to do more.. And be more flexible.. Kala ko versatile or flexible na ko, pero nadiscover ko dito, kailangan todo pa ang pagiging flexibile and understanding. =)
Thanks to my CG and I hope, always.. Whatever happens, wherever we go, we continue take care each other.. God bless always to all of us, and continue kung kahit magkaiba ng CG or other groups.. Or ministries, don't forget, we continue to serve God for his glory here on earth. Always...
I want to thank, of course, our lovely CG Head.. April for leading us, of course kahit minsan wala ka.. hehe Pero most of the time, nandito ka sa min to lead us to the right path and of course encouraging us to give help, serve and praise God through our group. Pasensya ka na sa amin kung minsan magulo kami or pasaway but we thank you for always guiding us. Especially now, dumadami na kami, we wish kaya mo pa din mag lead sa min.. Don't worry, if you need help, we are always here. =)
Sa old CG kina Owell, Mel, Cathy, Glenn, Lovers namely Kris and Jordan.. Bevs 1, Ven hehe Francis at Cris!!! Mga bro at sis.. Wala lang. Hehe Joke ah, sana tuloy tuloy lang magkita or hindi, keep in touch and keep the faith for God and to our Group ha.. Tama na muna paghoholdup para sa libre. hehe
Sa mga wala sa old CG, pwede pa kayo join ulit. hehe
Sa mga bagong CG, pasensya na sa min ha. hehe Pero let me tell you, you're in good group, I mean great group! Di lang magaling ang CG head namin, pati ang members ha. =) Kaya sana maenjoy niyo company namin, wag masawa sa kakapunta sa CG namin.. At feeling ko, baka mas magaling pa kayo sa min lalo na pag may activities na kami. hehe Have fun and kung may problems, don't be shy to ask help from us, wag lang sa pera.
Punta kayo every Sunday sana for our CG.
Tomorrow, it will be a glorious day, as we, one CG thanking God for all the blessings he gave us because of what we did and celebrating siyempre the closeness we have already. We hope we continue this through your guidance God and yes, I know we are already many..
We need to bring more for you. =)

I'm not sure, maybe one day, nothing stays forever naman.. But for sure, what we're building will be beneficial in time, God's time.. Friendships build in this session really changed me, to do more.. And be more flexible.. Kala ko versatile or flexible na ko, pero nadiscover ko dito, kailangan todo pa ang pagiging flexibile and understanding. =)
Thanks to my CG and I hope, always.. Whatever happens, wherever we go, we continue take care each other.. God bless always to all of us, and continue kung kahit magkaiba ng CG or other groups.. Or ministries, don't forget, we continue to serve God for his glory here on earth. Always...
I want to thank, of course, our lovely CG Head.. April for leading us, of course kahit minsan wala ka.. hehe Pero most of the time, nandito ka sa min to lead us to the right path and of course encouraging us to give help, serve and praise God through our group. Pasensya ka na sa amin kung minsan magulo kami or pasaway but we thank you for always guiding us. Especially now, dumadami na kami, we wish kaya mo pa din mag lead sa min.. Don't worry, if you need help, we are always here. =)
Sa old CG kina Owell, Mel, Cathy, Glenn, Lovers namely Kris and Jordan.. Bevs 1, Ven hehe Francis at Cris!!! Mga bro at sis.. Wala lang. Hehe Joke ah, sana tuloy tuloy lang magkita or hindi, keep in touch and keep the faith for God and to our Group ha.. Tama na muna paghoholdup para sa libre. hehe
Sa mga wala sa old CG, pwede pa kayo join ulit. hehe
Sa mga bagong CG, pasensya na sa min ha. hehe Pero let me tell you, you're in good group, I mean great group! Di lang magaling ang CG head namin, pati ang members ha. =) Kaya sana maenjoy niyo company namin, wag masawa sa kakapunta sa CG namin.. At feeling ko, baka mas magaling pa kayo sa min lalo na pag may activities na kami. hehe Have fun and kung may problems, don't be shy to ask help from us, wag lang sa pera.
Punta kayo every Sunday sana for our CG.
Tomorrow, it will be a glorious day, as we, one CG thanking God for all the blessings he gave us because of what we did and celebrating siyempre the closeness we have already. We hope we continue this through your guidance God and yes, I know we are already many..
We need to bring more for you. =)
