CATHOLIC--REGULAR
CATHOLIC REGULAR
This morning while taking very weak coffee because I had to pour some lukewarm water into it, so as not to aggravate my tongue and my throat ulcers... I started thinking about soda drinks and beer, with their "strong", "regular", and "light" varieties...and connected them with our being Catholics.
Although I don't think there should be such a thing as "Catholic Strong" because everyone should aspire to be as catholic as one can be...let's not be "Catholic Lite", yung we just go through the routine of going to Holy Mass on Sunday and that's it... Let us at least be "Catholic Regular".
Siguro "Catholic Regular" would be going to Mass as often as one could, understanding the readings and the Gospel, praying frequently, knowing the Rosary and praying it as well, trying to learn as much about Jesus...and living each day adhering to true Catholic Values....having faith in the one true God, not in colors, not in signs, not in good luck charms...believing that despite the problems we're going through, we have a loving Father who will never abandon us...and trying our very best, it's never easy, to be giving, to be forgiving, to be humble, to be understanding.... To learn to respect and even love everyone even when we have opposing views.
Ako, "Catholic Regular" lang, hoping to be a better Catholic pa.
God bless all of us!
Thank you for the comments and the messages of concern.... I am recovering quite well from the viral infection.... Strong enough to have brought my kids to school this morning, and to fetch them again later... Not yet eating regularly though...I just rested my tongue, took a lot of cold drinks, (which I am not used to, as I am a hot coffee and hot tea drinker), some ice cream and a lot of prayers... I will be well soon.
God bless always my friends!
Catholic and Christian Values!

LOYAL TO SJCS
LOYAL TO SJCS
To everyone who understood my point, to those who showed support, to those who sent personal messages, for fear of reprisals---Thank you.
To those who don't agree with me, but understood that I was a father so hurt and irritated---thanks!
To those who don't necessarily agree with me, but understood my right to speak out, and not to like something they love---thank you also.
To those who were hurt unintentionally by what I wrote---I apologize... It might happen again, and I will humbly apologize again.
To those who continue to believe that they have the right to force students to adhere to their commands and compell parents to do the same, and believe they are better---the time and the day will come when you will be made to realize, that you cannot keep on doing this, and get away with it......and to those who support these kinds of rules, you follow blindly now, and you will soon be no better than these people.
It has always been about free choice and respecting ones right to choose without threats or coercion.
The better tool was to inspire and to encourage, not to threaten.
To those who question my loyalty to Saint Jude Catholic School----HOW DARE YOU?
I am confident that if the founders were still alive, they would not agree with this extravance, because that
was not how they lived and it was not how they led.
I continue to be loyal to the values my alma mater used to stand for.... I continue to practice the things I've learned from SJCS.
I pray the Rosary everyday.
I stop whenever prayers are recited to join the prayer. I don't stand up for the recitation of the vision and mission statement as it is not observed anyway..., but I stand up and join the prayer.
I continue to show compassion to all my patients, regardless of who they are.
I never discriminate against any race or color.
I try to respect everyone's view, I debate with them but I remain friendly with them, and I try to leave the discussion wiser than before...
How many of you stop talking with your friends to pray once the morning or afternoon prayers have started?
How many of you still know and pray the Rosary? Alam niyo ba na may Luminous Mysteries na?
How many of you truly don't discrminate against other people? How many of you will allow their children to marry someone belonging to a different race? How many of you treat their help as friends and have them sit at the same table with your family when eating out?
Loving our alma mater should not merely be about supporting their every project and following their every whim...,, It should also be about remembering what we learned from the founders...living the way they would've wanted us to do.....and it should also be about criticizing whoever is presently heading the school and telling them when they are wrong, to get us back on the right track!
I remain a proud Judenite and nobody can take this away from me!!!
God bless SJCS!

PAHABOL NA ADVISES FOR THE NEW YEAR
PAHABOL NA MGA ADVICE FOR THE NEW YEAR...
First...Don't be afraid or hesitant to say, "I'm sorry!".... Even if you never meant to hurt anyone,....the minute you find out that you might have offended someone, don't be too proud to apologize! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain....the receiver will get so much pleasure from your simple "I'm sorry!", and you too, will feel a certain lightness in your heart.
Second....Don't set aside your pride, throw it away. Hindi totoo na kailangan may pride...kalokohan yan. For Catholics, it is the1st Capital Sin....So learn to differentiate between Self-respect and pride...The first will encourage you to improve yourself, and lead others to respect you...while the second, PRIDE, leads to arrogance and to conflict with others and with yourself... So itapon na yang pride na yan.
Third....spend as much time as you can with the people you love....and learn to find pleasure in it...This should be Paradise on Earth.
Fourth....Say " Thank You!" for every favor, no matter how small it is... To everyone who does any good to you...your love ones, your friends, your help, cashiers, bagmen, sales ladies, waiters... When you thank them, you thank the Lord, because all of them are instruments of God...to make you feel good, and to remind you that you are always loved!
So to everyone....sorry if I have offended you...and thank you for your kindness.
To my family... Thank you for loving me!

EVERYBODY DESERVES A BREAK
EVERYBODY DESERVES A BREAK
A few days before Christmas, my parents got mad at our help and at me....the help, for wanting to take a day-off on Christmas, and me, for allowing them to.
My parents were angry because they give a party for our relatives every Christmas, so family members could see each other....
This was precisely my point when I gave our help the day-off....people should be with their family on Christmas, regardless of what their job is.
My relatives were all able to come because they didn't have to go their offices on Christmas day, so who's to say our help shouldn't be accorded the same courtesy. They deserve a break too! I dare anybody to tell me that I'm wrong!
Kung tayo napapagod.... Sila pa kaya, na umaga pa lang inuutusan na... Tapos hanggang gabi basta gising ang amo, puedeng utusan pa rin...when I make midnight snacks for my family, I don't wake up or disturb our help, my wife and I would wash everything we used and clean up the kitchen after we're finished.... If they're awake, we share the food with them....we treat them as friends who just happen to work for us.
Today our family driver of 40 years asked my wife Dinah if he can leave early, because his kids just called him up and they might go somewhere... Niccolo had plans to use his gift certificates today, so we asked Niccolo....this is what he said..." Let Mang Bhoy join his kids, mas importante yan sa lakad ko."... And that is just one of the reasons why I am proud of my son.
It's all about equality....
Our household helps work for us, because their family needs the money.....we work everyday, for the same reason....so we should not look down on them, nor should we expect too much from them....and we should always respect them, as we would want them to respect us....and please be kind to them!
God bless all of the kasambahays and yayas, and thank you for everything!
God bless all of us!

STAGE FATHER

STAGE FATHER
A few weeks ago when asked by her friends, if she has a "stage mother", my daughter Nikki had this to say..."I don't think so, but I do have a "stage father."
We all laughed when we heard her story. It's true, but not in it's entirety, because I believe I and my wife are "stage parents."
My wife gives her advises on singing, takes the videos too.,.
While I do the hugging, the kissing, the high fives, and the carrying of the bags...
I AM A STAGE FATHER, AND I AM PROUD OF IT!!!!
This is for Nikki, and for Niccolo and Lizzie as well....and also, for my wife Dinah....
For your every performance, your every achievement, your every triumph....I will be there...I must be there.
But everyday cannot be about victories....
So for every time you stumble, for each time you fall.... For each time you cry.....I will be there....I must be there....I will go against anybody....I will get through any storm...Just to give you hug...and to tell you..."Dad is here, we can get through this."
To the people I love the most....we have gone through a lot...and have been encountering rough sailing these past few months.....the only thing that keeps me sane....and keeps me strong, is your love and your support.
I am nothing without you.
Walang halaga ang buhay ko kung wala kayo!!!
Hindi ako mayaman....hatid sundo ko ang mga anak ko...barkada ko sila, pero handa ko rin silang pagsilbihan....
Ginagalang ako at pinagsisilbihan ng asawa ko.... Pero ginagalang ko rin siya at handa rin akong pagsilbihan siya.... Magkatabi kaming nagluluto, at naghuhugas ng pinggan kung kailangan...may bulungan at tawanan pa!
Kaya kung bukod sa pagiging STAGE FATHER, gusto pa akong tawaging ANDER O ANDRES....OK LANG YAN LAHAT!!!
BASTA MAHAL KO SILA NG HIGIT PA SA BUHAY KO!!!!

LEARNING FROM LIZZIE
I first posted this last November, 2013...I continue to learn from all of my children...
LEARNING FROM LIZZIE
Several mornings ago, while bringing Lizzie to school, and after visiting the chapel, I was lecturing Lizzie on how she should become more responsible in school.... She appeared sad, because daddy was lecturing her early in the morning...
I proceeded to pray in front of an image of Mother Mary at the 2nd floor Podium...after praying, I was surpised to see Lizzy kneeling down, with her head bowed down and praying silently and fervently.
This is the Lizzie that her current teachers and her classmates don't know...
The Charlize (she's known by her 1st name in school) that they know in school...is the talkative, hyperactive and occasionally, stubborn one....as a result, for the 2nd time, even with her high grades, she has no honor again, because of her conduct....well....
This is my Lizzie....
On my way to work, she, together with her siblings would text me individual messages of love....I would spend my travel time answering them.
Then when I am at work and her mom tells her that I am not feeling well, she would drop whatever it is she is doing, and kneel down to pray... She prays that God will heal her daddy.
2 nights ago, I came home from work at about 1 a.m., and saw a sealed letter addressed to me, on top of the dresser. It was a letter from Lizzie. Apologizing about being noisy and a little stubborn, and offers this excuse, "I'm really like this when I get hyper, but I will try to be better." ....then she writes about how much she loves me...
Before we part ways each day, she would hug me and say, "I miss you so much! I love you so much! God bless you so much!...then she would kiss me....it touches and warms my heart, and I would hug her so tight, and have a hard time letting go!
The Charlize that her teachers and her classmates see... Is yung madaldal at malikot.
The Lizzie I know, the one I choose to see... Is a sweet and caring little girl who prays for her daddy and for her family...and who's every hug and kiss gives me the strength to pick myself up.
Lizzie has been praying, kneeling down, in front of Mother Mary's image everyday, since then.... I used to just pray, standing up....
today, I followed Lizzie and learned from her...
I kneeled down beside Lizzie, bowed my head, and prayed with my heart.
