This post is dedicated to one of the sweetest aunts I've had,GLORIA TUMANG ISIP. May you find rest in the arms of our Creator.
I haven't even posted my tribute about Kuya Lou who passed away last month and here am I posting another tribute.
I just talked to my sister who told me the devastating news. Aunt Loi passed away.
I'd love to add more but my tears are about flow down my cheeks. I guess this post has to wait.
Adieu ma tantine, adieu...

EIGHT. NINE. TEN. Le Neuvieme Jour D'Aout Deux-mille et Dix
With 10.10.10. still two months away, I'll revel on today's 8.9.10. Isn't it fun when the dates are sequential or all the same? Well, I'll give you this. Dates can never dictate nor even give you a hint of whatever happened or will happen on that day. Sure, memories can be connected with dates, but it can never give you the whole story nor the big picture.
"I know of a man who came in 15 minutes late for his Philosophy class. He knew an exam will be given that day so he hailed a cab and did not take public transportation. He still arrived late in his class. He took the exam while most of the class is about to finish. He was rattled by the difficulty of the exam, that he actually wrote on the questionnaire not on a yellow pad paper as written on the question sheet.
To make matters worse, he only answered around 9 questions in the exam, because the professor asked the class to put the pens down and pass all the papers. Fortunately for him, out of the 9 questions he answered, 6 of which are correct.
After the exam, he went to his next class. A programming class. The professor in his class is not so good. So does her English grammar. He's so pissed because this professor just reads her presentation and does not explain to the class why the code in his presentation is the right and how to arrive at the correct code for the program.
For a hands-on, his professor asked the class to create 4 program applications that uses the conditions she "taught" the class. The applications are to be submitted that day and the professor flashes her presentation as if her students have eyes that see at the speed of light.
The class submitted the applications to an online site by the end of the class because of their "cooperation". Being the honest man he normally is, the man I'm talking about was unable to finish the applications. He went to ask the professor to send to his e-mail the presentation she used so he can study it and finish the applications she requires. At first she refused but later showed 'compassion' and sent it.
Thing is, the professor is very demanding. Their subject is programming but the class' project for Finals is software development. You can only imagine this man's disdain for her professor.
As he went home, he contemplated on the days ahead. His insurmountable problems, his unfinished tasks, chores and work. His mounting laundry, piles of documents and events his team organized. As he's nearing home, he asked himself the question, "What if?" He wants to end it all. "What if I ended it today?" "With a rope? Pills perhaps?"
He thought now he's doomed and it's the only way out. He had this mindset that things turned for the worst. Until he saw a family friend walking in front of him. He hastened his steps and greeted the friend. They talked for a while and the friend had to take another way. As their conversation ended and he went on his way, someone showed him in a flash, the things he never took to appreciate. All the things he is and should be thankful for All the things he still needed done. All the things he wanted to accomplish. Someone all-powerful. Someone omniscient. Someone omnipresent.
Just like that, his mood, mindset and visage changed. The gloomy look in his face was replaced by a gentle smile. The song playing in his music player (in shuffle mode) turned to a soft one as he turned to a corner. It's as if the song became the theme song of his life. The song told him that Someone great is in control; no need to worry.
His mindset and outlook became positive. He thought, "I still got a lot to live for."
The song in his MP3 player shuffled again and the song told him the reason he lives. Not for himself, but for HIM. He arrived home now thinking of the days ahead. The days his Savior prepared for his life. A life that's abundant and prosperous, and purposeful."
I believe you know who 'Someone' is. God.
Why don't you trust Him alone with your life? Remember, He's in control.
Truth is, dates can never tell us the whole story of that day. Just like the man I'm talking about. Life can take a turn for the better when you least expect it. When we think we are at our darkest hour, be glad! For we know that the darkest hour of the day is the hour right before the light of the morning pierces the darkness.

JIVE Youth presents: PVZ Ps. 23:4 (JIVE Youth's Plants vs. Zombies Costume Party)
After several meetings, we, the leaders and members of JIVE Youth decided to have a 'BIG' event every month. We started last June with JIVE Youth's Back-to-School Party 2010: I CAN: My Future Decided.
For the month of July, we thought of doing a showcase of talents, an acquaintance party, and a comedy bar type of program. When the idea of doing a costume party arose, the question of what theme we will be using arose. After throwing some themes around during a brainstorming session, JIVE Youth's PVZ (Plants Vs. Zombies Costume Party) was born.
During the conception and the development of the event, controversies and issues were raised. First, the title and theme itself. JIVE Youth is a Christian Youth organization and we do not associate and relate ourselves with anything evil. The thing is, the theme is about the game itself and not the zombies. Another, we are just jumping on the game's popularity so we can attract young people and to bring them closer to Christ. The event is in no way a ruse or a bait to get them to a religion. This is not about religion. Religion cannot and will not save you. We are doing events like these to fulfill JIVE Youth's Purpose Statement which is aligned to a Christian's Five Purposes in Life. It reads:
JIVE Youth exists:
TO REACH (Evangelism) the youth of Makati;
TO ENLIST (Fellowship) them in God's family;
TO EQUIP (Discipleship) them in Christ-likeness;
TO EMPLOY (Ministry) their gifts in serving one another; and
TO EXALT (Worship) HIS name.
Next, "a costume party in July? Isn't it for October?" Costume parties can be conducted all-year round although Costume Parties are more popular during the month of October and November because of Halloween.
JIVE Youth does not celebrate Halloween because the holiday has pagan roots. It is of note though that Christian groups in the US and Europe use Halloween to again, attract young people and use it as an opportunity to share God's word.
"So, because the theme is Plants vs. Zombies, majority of you will be dressed like zombies."
Yes, technically that is true. Zombies are fictional characters. they do not exist. We believe in Hebrews 9:27 which reads "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment."
(The dead do not rise from their graves to spread terror or meet their living relatives. When a person dies, his or her body decomposes and what's left are the bones.)
We will all make sure that the right message goes to all the young people who will attend the event.
Again, we are not glorifying nor justifying zombies or anything evil in this event. We are using the game's popularity to attract young people to our Youth Center and share to them the gospel in a variety of ways.
What we will be talking about during the event is the contrast between life and death. Biology and Thanatology if you must. What life is, what life should be. What death is, why not to be afraid and preparing for it. This is an important message to young people because it is uncertain whether a person will pass away young or old.
The event is on Saturday, the 31st of July, 3:30 PM. We've prepared a special program filled with fun and enjoyment. See you there! :)

June 6, 2010 SBC-Makati AM/PM Worship Services
Hey, Rege here.
Last June 3, Breaking Point Foundation Philippines headed by its director and SBC-Makati's pastor, Jeff Aspacio embarked on a Mission Trip to Kenya, Africa. They'll be gone for two weeks and SBC-Makati will have guest speakers for it's AM/PM services. Since Pastor Jeff is not around, I was assigned to lead all 3 services of SBC-Makati's Sunday Services: AM Service, Youth Service and PM Service.
Last Sunday was the first time I led the Praise and Worship of SBC-Makati's AM Service. I lead the P&W in PM services from time to time. Leading the P&W in AM Service makes me nervous because there are a lot more attenders in the AM Service than that of the PM service.
Here's the line-up of last Sunday's Service:
1. How Good It Is
2. We Give Thanks
3. You Are Holy
4. The Shadow of Your Face
In the evening (PM) service, we have to replace The Shadow of Your Face with Jesus, Lover of my Soul, the last song of the Youth Line-up because we're having problems with the song.
I wore my newly bought Maya Blue polo barong with two columns of embroidered white and blue flowers. I bought that to match my Cherry Blossom Pink polo barong I already have. I arrived as early as 9:10 AM and was surprised to see that none of the Music Team's around.
Pastor Luis Faller preached in the AM Service. He talked about the right way to happiness. His preaching is great. He made a lot of us laugh. He taught us to always paint a smile on our faces.
In the evening service, Pastor Olan Villaseñor preached about Friendship. About pastor Olan, one word sums it up: Panalo! (win!) He talked about the types of friends we need to avoid and the right ways to maintain friendships.
Next Sunday, I believe it's still Pastor Olan who'll be speaking in the AM Service and Kuya Ted Amper, composer of some of the songs we sing in our Services, for the PM Service.
We invite you to join us in worshiping God at SBC-Makati. It doesn't matter whatever religion you are. All that matters is that we have a relationship with jesus Christ. If you do not have a relationship with Christ, we invite you to our AM Services (10:30 AM)/ PM Services (6:00PM) and we'll help you start one.
Visit us at the 3/F Kalayaan Market Bldg., 9642 Kalayaan Avenue, Guadalupe Nuevo, Makati City. Here's our website: www.sbcmakati.org

Juin
The month of June is here and I'm back! Forgive my laziness in posting blogs for the month of May. My schedule is all crammed up and I've got no choice. BTW, I was at Nasugbu, Batangas the other Saturday. We hit the beach just before the summer ended. I don't know what the moth of June may bring. I'm not yet enrolled because of an unpaid balance last term. I'll be enrolling tomorrow, hopefully. I may get a new phone this month but I'm still looking at my financial records. There is a very big blessing on the way. Praise God for that!
June. Juin. Hunyo. This month is what many call the 'wedding month' and I know of a lovely couple who just tied the knot the other day. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez! June is the month of Philippines' Independence. and June is the start of the school season. Speaking of which, JIVE Youth will be having a Back To School party on June 12, 2010 3PM. That's a Saturday at the JIVE Youth Center, 3/F Kalayaan Market Bldg., 9642, Kalayaan Avenue, Guadalupe Nuevo, Makati City.
Pardon this post. I'm just waiting for my downloads to be finished. Tomorrow, maybe, I'll have a more decent post.

The Traveler's Post
Almost every April and May since 2006, I've been traveling to various parts of the Philippines. My stops include Tarlac, Bulacan, Pampanga, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Camarines Norte y Sur, Albay and ultimately, my hometown, Sorsogon.
Once again, May has arrived and I will be in a series of travels. My 'Summer Travels' are a mix of vacation, leisure, business trips, Christian activities (like Youth Camps) and missions Trips of my own. The months of April and May are my busiest, following December, January and September but that's not always the case. There were instances when something comes and that pattern is broken.
Right now I'm in our house in Laguna to pick up some things I'll be needing for my travels. I arrived yesterday (There was a traffic jam at the unloading area in Crossing-Calamba)and will also depart today before lunch. Later at 3 PM, I and JIVE Youth will be on our way to Pililia, Rizal for Precious Bible Baptist Church's event entitled Upper Room.
I don't know what time the event will end but after that, I'll go directly to Gumaca, Quezon, to one of our church members' house for a vacation. One day for me is enough, although I would like to stay longer. The mothers of the church planned this outing in line with the Pahiyas festival in Lucban, Quezon on the 15th. The mothers already departed yesterday evening and will arrive in Gumaca a little later in the morning. I'll be catching up with them tomorrow morning. This is still tentative because of the hassle I will be experiencing.
On the afternoon of the 16th, I will be boarding a bus for a 16-hour drive to Donsol, Sorsogon. I am supposed to go to Donsol before the 12th because it's her 4th year Death Anniversary and I would like to pay my respects again, but due to current circumstances, I wasn't able to do so. I'll be going home either on the afternoon of 21st or the 22nd. It's a matter of choice between receiving a free comic book or not XD LOL It still depends on the situations at hand. I'm actually reluctant to go home to Donsol this week and postpone it to September but I have important matters to deal there and I have to do what I have to do, so I'm left without any choice but to go there. It may be an big expense, but it's still worth all the trouble. Besides, I'll be enjoying the 16-hour trip. I always pick the seat by the window with the bus' air-conditioning nozzle aimed at me. I better bring a jacket. I'll have another encounter with nature, and a whole week of clearing my mind from all the hustle and the bustle of teh city. Also, I'll strive to finish the storylines of my two novels. I hope it will be published next year.
Travel is my passion. New experiences is the name of my game. This is game Master Rege, now signing of... I mean, logging out. Have a great day everyone and Bon voyant to all travelers :)

I am supposed to go to Donsol before the 12th because it's her 4th year Death Anniversary and I would like to pay my respects again, but due to current circumstances, I wasn't able to do so. I'll be going home either on the afternoon of 21st or the 22nd. It's a matter of choice between receiving a free comic book or not XD LOL It still depends on the situations at hand. I'm actually reluctant to go home to Donsol this week and postpone it to September but I have important matters to deal there and I have to do what I have to do, so I'm left without any choice but to go there. It may be an big expense, but it's still worth all the trouble. Besides, I'll be enjoying the 16-hour trip. I always pick the seat by the window with the bus' air-conditioning nozzle aimed at me. I better bring a jacket. I'll have another encounter with nature, and a whole week of clearing my mind from all the hustle and the bustle of teh city. Also, I'll strive to finish the storylines of my two novels. I hope it will be published next year.
Travel is my passion. New experiences is the name of my game. This is game Master Rege, now signing of... I mean, logging out. Have a great day everyone and Bon voyant to all travelers :)
The Desperate Housewives Season 6 Finale Spoilers
Hi! It's been two weeks in for the month of May and I'm just posting my first blog for the month. Anyway, let me make up to you by posting the Season 6 Finale Spoilers of my favorite TV Series, The Desperate Housewives.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
6.23 /"I Guess This Is Goodbye"/ MAY 16, 2010 - SEASON FINALE
- Bree informs the rest of the family that Sam knows their secret.
- As Eddie is holding Lynette hostage, she goes into labor.
-Mike and Susan are moving, but get the surprise of their lives as an old acquaintance shows up to rent their house. (I believe this is Paul Young)
- Gaby informs Nick that Angie's being held hostage, but she ends up having to deal with the problem on her own.

- One of the children makes an unexpected move.
- There'll be an explosion (could be flashback) and someone dies.

Finals Week
It's been a while since I updated this because of me being slumped with tons and tons of work. BTW, April 30 marks the beginning of our walk to Calvary as our Final Exams Week starts.
We'll be having a Final Exam in law Communication1 (The Law on Obligations and Contracts). In World Literature, we will be presenting and defending our book report. Mine is Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. In Human Resources Management, we will also be presenting and defending the HR practices (Mission/Vision, etc.) of a Filipino company. I hope Ms. Heidi accepts Logica Philippines as my paper. In Corporate Leadership, we will have an oral defense/recitation on the advanced Leadership Skills (Delegation, etc.). Tomorrow is also our presentation and defense of our Electronic Commerce project. We've revamped QHotels' website and need to discuss why we've made such changes. Our Business Management Projects 2's implementation of 'The GRAND RAMp' is over and I need not worry about it.
For the next week I'll be sitting in my office chair, working on my computer, studying and I hope and pray that I will get good grades on all of my subjects. BTW, in LAWCOM1, my one foot is in the grave. Please pray for me. Thanks.

Home. Alone. Again.
The other day, I and my father had a little 'misunderstanding' and as a result, he left the house. Yes. That's not a typo. Times have changed people! When children and parents cross, the parents do the leaving XD I dunno but when my grandmother (Mama's mother) had a tiff with her sons and daughters, she left our house in the province!
Ironic as it sounds, that's the truth. Well, in my case. Daddy left his cellphones at the house so I have no way of knowing in which part of the Earth he is now. He left me around $20 and I believe that's for the next two weeks. I checked Makati Medical Center if he's there because he wanted me to accompany him there for a check-up last Saturday. I told him that we will leave for MMC at 6PM yesterday and he refused, and put on a dramatic act. Yeah. I'd define that as a tiff.
I suppose he's in one of my aunt's house and will come back after a week or so. I brought groceries this evening because it'd be costly to buy viands in 'carinderias' every meal. I'll be cooking, cleaning, maintaining and staying inside the house alone.
Yet another test of independence has come my way. So help me LORD.

Term 1 AY 2010-2011
This afternoon, I pre-registered for the next academic year. I was supposed to be on internship next term but I still have subjects that I need to take. I only have 2 subjects next term.
Fundamentals of Accounting 2 for Business Administration and Graphical User Interface programming using VB6.
No Quantitative Methods 2 offering for next term and I wasn't allowed to take Philosophy of Man class of other courses.
Please pray for me as I plan to work part-time or full time depending on what the circumstances require me to. Next term is the most challenging for me because I need to juggle not only school but work and my other activities as well. Clearly, my hands will be really full by the month of May.
Have a great day everyone!

LEVEL UP SYC 2010 Post #4
It is our last day here at the Mt. Peniel Campsite / Prayer Mountain and we still have a Large Group Session at 9AM. I know there's not much time for me to create my legendarily long posts because of time constraints butI'll try my best to make this post well-worth reading. And my whining begins:
We arrived here last Monday, that's the 5th of April. I am one of the volunteers of Camp Kabataan and was part of the so-called "Advance Team". After dropping our luggages, we started working and working. I would like to commend, in part of the LEVEL UP Summer Youth Camp 2010 Director, Pastor Jeff Aspacio, the volunteers of this year's Youth Camp.
The kitchen crew for working all day, all night in preparing scrumptious meals for us. It's no joke to prepare food for 700 or so people. The Registration committee who stretched their patience, worked hard and making sure that all of our records our maintained, for preparing the IDs, coordinating with the bus companies and assigning us in our respective dormitories. The Drama team, for preparing the beautiful presentations, especially the wonderful hand mimes. The Multi-Media committee for preparing the audio-visual presentations and documenting the whole event. The Music team for making wonderful music here at camp. The Counselors committee for equipping us with the necessary tools and skills in counselling young people. The Game committee for putting all the hard work in preparing the obstacle course, and all the games we played here at camp.
And to all the volunteers of Camp Kabataan, KUDOS to you all and may we all have glorified God in this activity.

Camp Kabataan's Preparations for LEVEL UP SYC 2010 (Working on A Wednesday)
I'm still dreaming at around 10:30 yesterday morning when I overheard two young people talking to my father and asking for me. Turns out that these two are my pals from JIVE Youth. A hypnopedic like me gets easily distracted. I woke up and told my father that I'll be meeting them in a while.
My two pals asked me for directions on how to go to SBC-Masinag. They have a rehearsal for the LEVEL UP Summer Youth Camp 2010. I ended up not taking a bath, not eating breakfast and accompanying them to SBC-Masinag.
I wasn't supposed to be here in Masinag, Antipolo City because I have to follow-up JIVE Youth's participants for the Summer Youth Camp in Makati. Camp Kabataan's Drama Team wasn't the only one here. The Registration, Production and other organizers are also here.
I must say, Camp Kabataan's volunteers are doing are really great job in preparing for our organizations' yearly highlight. The Drama Team is already in the perfecting stages of their rehearsals. I wasn't allowed to peek but I did anyway.
Campers, Counsleors, Pastors and Volunteers, Level Up Summer Youth Camp 2010 will make you nostalgic of the '90s. that's all I can say.
The Production Team is also finishing the decorations and other stuff for the stage, and the whole venue. They are also doing a really great job. If I may say so, LEVEL UP SYC 2010 is the most beautiful, action-packed and wonderful Youth Camp of Camp Kabataan.
SBC-Masinag's office became the extension of my home office for yesterday. Thank you Pastor Alvin. Thank you also to Pastor Jeff for letting me use his laptop to finish this post.
Join Camp Kabataan's LEVEL UP Summer Youth Camp 2010 and have good, exciting, fun!
See you there and to Camp Kabataan's volunteers, Kudos to you all!

Tremors on A Thursday
This afternoon, at around 1:30 PM, Philippine Time, two consecutive earthquakes shook Makati City and other parts of the National Capital Region. As of this posting, the epicenter of the quake is still unknown. Ate Sarj told me that the stronger quake is 5.9 magnitude in the Richter scale.
Around 12:30 PM, I just left a local high school to visit and congratulate one of my very good friends on his graduation this coming Tuesday. I was actually lost and was helplessly asking for directions on how to get to my school. You see, my first class is at 12:45 and it's a major one and I was desperate to get to school. I tried hailing cabs but after a dozen passed by and they all have passengers, I decided to take the jeepneys.
At around 1:20 PM, I finally arrived at Magallanes and rode another jeep to our school. By 1:25 PM, I'm already inside the college premises. I finished encoding my Law Communication 1 homework early this morning, around 2 Am for that matter, but am unable to have it printed. I went to the school's IT Resources Group to have it printed after paying at the Accounting Department. After I opened the file (my homework), I noticed that the text on the computer screen were moving. Atty. Cuevas required us to be creative when it comes to homework, but I clearly remember that I did not put animations on my word processed HW. It will also be useless if printed.
That's when I realized that the ground is shaking. It felt normal at first but the tremors grew stronger. One of the ITRG staff also noticed that an earthquake is ongoing and alerted everyone. The Director of ITRG panicked and told his staff to save all data, and get out of the building.
I went to class after that and was marked absent. It's already 1:37 and LAWCOM1 is from 12:45-2:15 only. My blockmates would've sang 'Happy Birthday To You' to one of our blockmates but Atty. Cuevas told us to get out of the building at that moment.
I still managed to drop a letter to one of my professor's pigeon-hole box. My excuse letter for the Youth Camp. Our Program Director told me to get down now and I did.
There were two quakes. the second was the aftershock. It's considerably weaker in intensity than the previous one. All students, faculty and staff gathered at teh parking lot to wait. It took almost ten minutes for all students, faculty and staff to vacate the building. It's no longer a drill, it's for real! Thanks to Ate Janelle for the idea. We've been conducting earthquake drills in the past months but I don't know why it took ten minutes for all the people to vacate the college.
Also, the fire alarms were not pulled on all floors. i think the only alarm i heard was from the second floor. After that, the building administration department and staff checked the building for damages and the building was later declared safe. I was hoping for the suspension of classes but I was disappointed. Classes resumed minutes later. We had World Literature then and discussed Luisa Valenzuela's Vision from the Corner of One Eye and Edgar Allan Poe's Tell Tale heart.
Praise God that no one was hurt and we're still alive. Glory to God and Hallelujah!

Home Alone
I will be home alone for a whole week and I will have yet another taste of being independent. I woke up with a 500 PhP bill on my sidetable and a text message saying that my father's in the province.
My father's having a vacation at my aunt's house and will be back next week. It's not because we're driving each other crazy (at times yes XD) but it's good for him to have a vacation from time to time. He's already a senior citizen and he needs rest. My fridge is fully stocked with foods from our event yesterday, "It's Showtime" so I don't have to worry about getting hungry. the problem is, we don't have any more gas (LPG. LPG in the Philippines costs about 12-15 USD and if I buy gas, I will have no more money for the rest of the week.
I know it's hard to maintain a big home. I'm living in our house for the past 18 years. So, for the next days, I will be cleaning the house, the dishes, feed the cat, the fishes and the doves (Yes, we have doves), and do some maintenance work.
So help me God.

LPG in the Philippines costs about 12-15 USD and if I buy gas, I will have no more money for the rest of the week.
I know it's hard to maintain a big home. I'm living in our house for the past 18 years. So, for the next days, I will be cleaning the house, the dishes, feed the cat, the fishes and the doves (Yes, we have doves), and do some maintenance work.
So help me God.

I Will Get There
Just this afternoon, while in my class, our college's guidance counselor came and asked me to see him at the Guidance Office. I was wondering what it was. The latest violation I had was September of 2008 when I went to school without my ID card.
I met with him later and asked about the 4 absences I had in one of my subjects. 5 is the maximum number of absences one is allowed for this term. I said, in my defense, and in a good manner that I only have 3. My professor in that boring, blasted subject, who I may add teaches like high school, miscounted my absences as 4. I told that professor that it was only 3 and I showed proof---the activity that professor gave us that day.
Now this Guidance Counselor of ours asked me what do I want in life. I replied, "We all crave for success." This GC of ours has been acting as if he is better than me since the first term.. I have respect for authority but there are just certain times when you want to contradict them---that's called rebellion. They have to do their job, I understand that, but I think his approach in dealing with me is a little bit out-of-line.
For the record, I am aware, I understand and I know the repercussions of having excessive absences. I need not be reminded. It is my responsibility to go to class. I am not one of those students who go to school to just to fail their subjects, chat with friends and don't care about learning. I study smart. And yes, I will graduate college and be a successful person in my field.
It will take time, but I will get there.

Earthquake in Chile
The world hasn't recovered yet from the 'shock' given by the earthquake in Haiti last january and just last Saturday, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile literally shook numerous lives. The earthquake in Chile which some say is the strongest in 5 years and is one of the strongest recorded quakes in history tore, tumbled and destroyed various houses, buildings and other infrastructures. The quake also sent a tsunami racing almost halfway around the world. The quake also shortened the days on earth by 1.26 milliseconds. The Chilean earthquake was so destructive that President Michelle Bachelet declared not a State of Emergency, unlike President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, but a "State of Catastrophe".
Too bad, Chile was visited by the racers of The Amazing Race 16. Such a beautiful country. I commend Phil Keoghan and CBS for acknowledging the disaster that took place there just as they did when a tsunami devastated Sri Lanka and other countries a few seasons ago. Kudos to Keoghan and company!
I was talking to my Sunday School Superintendent last Sunday, February 28 about the quake which my father told me about. He heard it from the radio. I was telling Ma'am Glo that Tsunami Alert Level 2 was lifted in Hawaii, other Pacific islands and the Philippines. We prayed that the quake will not send a tsunami and guess what? It didn't. In the Philippines and other Pacific islands, for that matter.
As I was reading some articles on the Web about the quake, I've come across this story about the Desarmes family living in Haiti when the quake last January transpired, moved to Chile just to be shaken once again by the 8.8 magnitude quake. Here's the link to the story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/lt_chile_earthquake_twice_cursed
I will leave you with fact that natural calamities are uncertain when they will come but we can do something. We can prepare for it.
Christians, let us pray that no more catastrophes will happen. Also, let us donate to the Red Cross.
Have a great and safe day everyone.

Travel Plans
Just this morning, my Auntie Nancy and Mommy Dely arrived. More of a stop-over because they will be heading out to Antipolo City to attend to some business. It has been a while since they've visited us. Mommy will be going back to Vancouver on the 15th. Before that, we will be visiting some of relatives in Sto. Rosario, Macabebe, Pampanga. Maybe next week. I know we have relatives in Pampanga. My father's from Macabebe. We may very well visit Dang Sion in La Loma if I get their address.
BTW, SBC-Makati is planning for a Missions Trip for Cambodia in OCtober/November 2011 and China in 2012. I hope that will materialize.
No classes tomorrow but I've got s lot to do. Have a great day everyone!

Blog Revamp and ELECOMM Mid-Term Project
Welcome to the new look of Game Master Regenald Isip's blog! I replaced the name to a simpler one: 'REGElation of the MIND'.
For those who aren't familiar with science terms, Regelation is a physical process by which water refreezes to ice after it has been melted by pressure at a temperature below the normal freezing point of water.
MIND refers to my surname 'Isip' translated in English. 'Regelation of the Mind' is somewhat of a metaphor.
Anyway, I'm doomed to be "voted out" of our group in ELECOMM (Electronic Commerce) if I don't finish on Tuesday, a comprehensive business plan for QHotels. I have a desktop computer at home that works fine, although I need an upgrade! LORD please send me laptop! Our mid-terms is on the second week of March yet our group leader wants us to submit on Wednesday our own version of the business plan. She wants to consolidate and condense all of our outputs. So, for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I will have no sleep, dozens cups of coffee consumed and a high electricity bill. Yay!
A tout a l'heure!

Another Update from the Busy Me
I wasn't able to sleep last night because of my re-run slash marathon of The Desperate Housewives Season 5. I know. Unhealthy lifestyle. I was finishing a contract of lease at the same time. Too bad Nicollette Sheridan's character Edie Britt was killed off. I hope she comes back to Wisteria Lane.
Corporate Leadership class was good. Two of my blockmates presented about intelligence. For Applied Projects 2, I edited and printed letters for the Program Directors and judges. March 15 is drawing near and there are still a lot of loose ends we need to tie up. 'It's Showtime!' is the first event in APC that we will organize as a class. Being the Program Committee Director, my hands are always full.
Electronic Commerce is our next at 6PM. I'm wondering if I should rename this blog. I've got some ideas.
Later. have a great day everyone!

An Update On My Academics
Salut tout le monde! I'm switching to black as the font color of this blog. Anyway, here's what happened today:
We had a quiz in our Law Communication 1 class. It wasn't announced! Atty. Cuevas isn't around. He sent a sub. We were given around 5 minutes to review and the paper that will pull our grades down was given. LAWCOM1 is about Obligations and Contracts. Honestly, the past Articles we've discussed hasn't sunk in yet in my brain. I don't know how lawyers do it. When I was a little child, many people told me that I'll be a good lawyer. But today, uhm, I don't see that happening. I'm taking Business Administration and who knows if I graduate next year?
Anyway, next is our World Literature class. We only have 2 classes every MTH. With all due respect to our professor, Ms. Pam, I would love to switch professors. Yes, I recognize the fact that she has been an educator for quite a while now, and she's good, but I just can't see her teaching World Literature. We discussed Emily Dickinson's Because I could not stop for Death. I would love to sleep that period. The discussion is a boring one. By Tuesday, we will be discussing Pablo Neruda's Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines.
Tomorrow, no Human Resources Management class; another enthusiastic discussion on Corporate Leadership; applying the final touches on our Mid-Term project in Applied Projects 2 and starting the project I will dub as a 'website make-over'.
Until tomorrow!

A 2-23-2010 Update: C'est La Vie!
Before you wonder whatever on Earth happened to the owner of this blog, let me greet you with a very good evening.
Hi! After a year of blogging hiatus, I'm finally back! I've been updating my Multiply and Facebook accounts though. My Twitter account, 'gamemastergian' is always updated.
BTW, I'm writing this blog in our Electronic Commerce class; one our subjects that uses the computer laboratory. This class ends at 7:30.
I would love to go home because I'm really hungry. I'm doing well, but I'm not feeling well. Lack of sleep, never-ending list of things to do. What can I say?
C'est La Vie!
I'll update this, I promise. Have a great day everyone!

I would love to go home because I'm really hungry. I'm doing well, but I'm not feeling well. Lack of sleep, never-ending list of things to do. What can I say?
C'est La Vie!
I'll update this, I promise. Have a great day everyone!

When Venetians Go Blind, You Get Venetians Blinds!
No pun intended and no offense to the Venetians. This afternoon, I was at SM Makati (a department store), looking for Venetian blinds. My father broke the blinds in my office. The rather irritating thing is that the sales people cannot seem to know what a Venetian blind is!
To add salt to the wound, I was passed on from one sales person to another! I was pointed to this, to that to that , to this direction. What on Earth?!
The sales people in a department store ought to know what and wherever do they keep whatsoever they are selling, right?
To the sales people of SM Makati: Please know everything you are selling. It's a shame not to know anything about something in your (one of your) field(s) of specializations.
In other words, it's utterly demoralizing and stupid not to know what a dinosaur is when you are an archeologist/paleontologist.
Ciao everyone!

Ce Que signifie Il Pour être dix-huit
Greetings everyone! After approximately 3 months and 3 days of Blogging hibernation, I'm here again because it's Open Season yet again! Here's what's up although is down this paragraph :)
Eighteen. Dix-Huit. Basic French lesson on numbers.
What is the significance of the number eighteen? According to my secreatary, wikipedia.org,:
In science:
The Hebrew word for "life" is ×—×™ (chai), which has a numerical value of 18. Consequently, the custom has arisen in Jewish circles to give donations and monetary gifts in multiples of 18 as an expression of blessing for long life.
In Judaism, in the Talmud; Pirkei Avot (5:25), Rabbi Yehudah ben Teime gives the age of 18 as the appropriate age to get married ("Ben shmonah esra lechupah", at eighteen years old to the Chupah (marriage canopy).
In Ancient Roman custom the number 18 can symbolise a blood relative.
Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 was originally named Catch-18 because of the Hebrew meaning of the number, but was amended to the published title to avoid confusion with another war novel, Mila 18.
There are 18 chapters in the Bhagavad Gita, which is contained in the Mahabharata, which has 18 books. The Kurukshetra War which the epic depicts, is between 18 armies (11 on the Kuru side, 7 on the Pandava).
Others:
The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with North America and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject.
The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with North America and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject.
In many parts of the world, 18 is the age minimum for purchasing tobacco and alcoholic beverages. It is also the voting age in many countries. During the Vietnam War, Americans could be drafted at an age as low as 18, but were not allowed to vote in most states until they were 21.
A movement spread to lower the voting age, and in 1971, the Twenty-sixth Amendment extended a guarantee of suffrage to anyone 18 years or older in all states. The voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in the U.K. and many other nations around that time.
In the United Kingdom, eighteen-year-olds can purchase tobacco, alcohol and pornography, go to war, vote, and model for pornography; (but the age of consent is 16).
In most European countries 18 is the legal driving age without a parent present.
In many countries 18 is the age of majority.
Minimum age at which one can get a full driver's license in many U.S states and Canadian provinces.
Minimum age to drive a car in many countries in the world. See also: 18 certificate, Coming of age
In the United States, it is the minimum age at which one may get a real tattoo.
It is the legal age at which one may gamble in some states in the United States.
In other fields
Eighteen is also:
The number of holes in a stipulated round of golf
The number of wheels on the most common type of North American tractor-trailer truck, which are hence often called 18-wheelers
The customary percentage to tip a waitress in a restaurant by groups of four or moreThe number of the French department Cher and the Turkish province Bitlis
DVD-18 is double-sided, double-layered DVD format
A Canon error message, see E18 error
In neo-Nazi circles, a code word for Adolf Hitler. The number comes from the position of the letters in the alphabet: A = 1, H = 8.
Android 18, a fictional character in the metaseries Dragon Ball.
18th Street gang, a Hispanic American gang
In some countries the number 18 means blood (relative)
All right. Now to the blog post. Indeed, eighteen has several significances. It's been part of life. In fact, it has been a part of my life. My sister's birthday is December 18th, a friend of mine is born on April 18th, the time now is 12:18 AM (haha) and today, I am eighteen (18) years old. Yes.
Eighteen. Dix-huit. Labing-walo.
Turning 18 today is like turning the giant turnstile of a ginormous vault door in front of me. I have opened the previous door. Here is the next door. I don't know where I am going. But one thing is sure. God is here to guide my way.
I am now allowed to do the things I was prohibited to do. Two sides of the coin. Good and the Bad. I'll choose Good although I know I am prone to slip and do evil things because I am a humble sinner.
I now possess the rights that the world once refused to grant me. The right to vote. The right to watch PG18 movies (Not X-Rated!). The right to have a driver's license and drive a car. The right to be one of the majorities. Yes, I am slowly climbing up the demographic ladder age-wise. With all these rights on a face of a card is another face---obligations, responsibilities and major decisions.
I must be a responsible Filipino citizen on Earth. I must live a blameless Christian life. I must develop myself. I must be better than I was before. Move forward but compile in a book the memories of the past. For I shall understand my present and future if I will look back at my past.
If I may have done bad, inappropriate and sinister things, do forgive me. I apologize to those whom I've hurt. I ask for forgiveness to those whom I've wronged.
I know that the damage has been done. But let us stand up, close the book and look forward and walk towards the horizon of a majestic, wonderful and marvelous future.
I was thinking these past few days, if I commit a crime, my future cellmates will throw me a welcome party.
No. That's one party I will dare miss.
I was apprehended before for jay-walking and was given a reprieve. I will abide by the law for I am a law abiding citizen. I will not commit a crime.
I am now of legal age. There are lots more to do and experience. God is not yet done with me.
I must act more maturely than before. I must observe stricter etiquette than I have been before.
I am now free from the chains of being a child.
Yes, I am now free from the bondage of being a minor.
I strived to reach for the bar. I now reached it and got hold of it. I will soon step on it and later look down on it as reminder of what was a child's life.
I am now an adult. A responsible, mature adult. I am now officially a citizen of legal age. I am now EIGHTEEN.

C'est que signifie il pour etre dix-huit...

Work-Filled Vacation
Salut tout le monde! Hi! I'm currently in Calamba City, Laguna for a business meeting. I will not be able to update this site for the next 2 weeks or so due to the work lined-up for me.

April-21-24 is the Camp itself and by the end of April or first week of May, I will go to Donsol, Sorsogon for a vacation and a series of business meetings. We might also tape there. So, God bless everyone and enjoy your vacation while I enjoy my work-filled vacation. A tout a l'heure!
P.S. Why does work always haunt my vacation?

Finals
Salut! I apologize for being away for quite some time. Here's why:
Any college student would agree if I tell you that the most dreaded, most cruel part of a year in college is the Finals week of every last term of the academic year. It is the time when everyone is scrambling to finish the projects, papers, theses, research papers and such to meet the fast-approaching deadline. Students constantly remind themselves that after this, all will be fine and it will finally be over. However, there are just some instances when we thought it's over, but in truth, it haven't even begun...
Today is the first day of the dreaded finals week in school. I missed a Quiz in BRANDMA and got over another quiz in ENTREPS. The only thing bothering my mind at the moment (in school) is the Final Exam in QUAMET2 (Quantitative Methods). I've got the next two months off and my series of travels will soon begin.
Any student will tell you that they hate finales. Final exams and such do take its toll to even the brightest student. Yes, they constantly remind themselves that it would soon be over. The only bad thing is, it would start all over again. The good thing is, these dreaded finales will finally come to an end and will soon lead to a flourishing finale.

Spelling Bee Recall Post 1
Bonjour tout le monde! So, the other day, that's the 18th of March, I and my father watched
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at the RCBC Plaza in Makati. Here's a recall:
In a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", a 9.7. This musical comedy is really hilarious, although there are points of drama. Miss Pinky Marquez was a audience-contestant in this musical. We saw Christian Bautista at the auditorium. Anyway, a lot of extremely bizarre words like hasenpfeffer, one that sounds like "transflukey", capybara, acouchi, Weltanschauung, teonanacatl et cetera were given to the contestants to spell.
I'll have a more detailed recap of the musical, soon. And more words to spell, of course.

When Your Father Gets Petulant... It's Indignation
Salut! Have you ever experienced being so angry, you thought of having an outlet for it? Here's mine:
Last week, my father decided to have the house renovated for the nth time. The house I'm currently living in is our ancestral house and is about 60 years old. Last Monday, he hired a contractor and two laborers (Why such a small number of laborers, I don't know why). As I prepared to go to school, the laborers started to work. When I got home by 2 that afternoon, all they finished is a layer of hollow blocks cemented together, without the steel bracing yet. I was infuriated because from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, that's 6 hours they've been in the house, lunchbreak deducted, they should have by at that time, finished the work of putting up a six by seven foot wall! At 5 PM, Daddy fired the laborers and the contractor.
It is Friday today and every time I look at that less-than-a-foot-wall, I get irritated. The work is not yet done and the appliances, pieces of furniture and stuff that we have in the part of the house that is being renovated, is all over the place! The living room and the guest room that we have is filled with bags of sand and cement. The dining room can no longer be a place where people gather, sit down and eat happily. The dining room is now a place where adults and the elderly wonder whether it is a part of a 5o-year old abandoned house, a haunted house for Halloween, or a yard sale! What on earth is this?! I believe that the bathroom is the only place in our house that is currently presentable.
So, the main point of this ""homily"": Earlier this afternoon, my Daddy scolded me as to how the house looked. He accused me of wrecking and causing chaos and entropy to set in! In the first place, was it I who hired those incompetent laborers? And was it I who decided on venturing into the renovation thingy that is quite uncertain with the results? And was it I who decided where to place the pieces of furniture, et cetera all over the place????? Clearly, my father is being petulant! Don't blame your mistake on me, for goodness' sake!

I played cards (no money involved) with my cousins, niece and neighbor to release my anger. Yes, when I get so irritated and angry, I replace it with a much useful emotion---INDIGNATION.
Have a great night everyone!

Another Update
Salut tout le monde! Forgive me for having a lousy title for this post. It's because of the 'randomnessity' of the events that happened today.
I came to school late. 31 minutes late for my first class, Business Math, in which we have a quiz. A long quiz. The formulas annuity, amortization, mortgage payment and unpaid balances were on the test paper yet I racked my brain trying to figure out the formula and how to get the answers on several questions. I ended up leaving some numbers blank. I just hope I pass the exam.
In Public Speaking 2, we just had a lecture on debate. This, fortunately for us, is the last topic on this course. Unfortunately for us, Sir Fred has to prolong our agony by giving us debate as our Final Exam. The schedule goes through Holy Week. That just hurts.
In Philippine History, we discussed what Sir Argie discussed as the betrayal of the Philippine Revolution. We also discussed the first American occupation in the Philippines via the Battle of Manila Bay and the sinking of USS Maine.
In Brand Management, we discussed Pricing Strategies for goods and services. Our Final Paper and Defense is slated on the 1st of April, or April Fool's Day. Well, that is not a joke. Ms. Jonna's not kidding.

Anyway, after I finish this post, I'm gonna prepare to go to the RCBC Plaza in Makati to watch the Broadway Musical "Spelling Bee". I won two tickets via a contest in Studio 23. I asked several of my friends plus my sister to watch it with me, but they some other things they need taken care of. So I am to watch it with my father. More updates later or tomorrow! Adieu!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Bonjour tout le monde! In observance of St. Patrick's Day, my blog will be "wearing green".
Happy St. Paddy's day everyone! It is so annoying to be sick today. Cough and Cold, headache. By the way, the rain poured here in Makati, Philippines this morning. It's weird having rains in Summer. A drizzle would be acceptable, but pouring rain!? It's a downpour! Climate change. Anyway, it started in the wee hours of the morning. Around 4 A.M., I suppose. The weather was so cold this morning that I just slept up to 12:20 noon! Yep. I overslept. This afternoon, after lunch, I planned on taking a nap and before I knew it, I slept for several hours. I woke up at around 6:30 P.M. I'm hoping to kick this illness of mine. We'll be having a quiz on Business Math tomorrow morning and I still have a lot of things needed done. Oh, BTW, I'll be watching a Broadway musical tomorrow at 8PM at the RCBC Plaza. Title's "Spelling Bee". I know this is gonna be fun.
More updates tomorrow! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Day 3 of APC's College Week 2009
Bonjour! Good evening Philippines! Here's another update from Rege.
The third day of APC's College Week was great! Today, we concluded the Season 2 of The Amazing Race Asia Pacific College. The first two days, I was a runner. I recorded the journeys and the agonies of the two teams I followed, on tape. Kuya George and Ate Danica, the first team I followed on tape, were eliminated due to a double elimination. Sir EA and Sir Serge on the other hand, the second team I followed on Day 2, were also eliminated due to a triple elimination. Both teams are really good. Delays just sealed their fate. Today, I am a station/challenge marshal. I handled the Roadblock, Who's got a Good Memory? The teams must transfer ten of the forty pictures that are related to the tasks they've completed the past two days to another table inside the Student Activities Office. In the end, Sir Bryan Reginald (of whom I share my name with) and another professor, I think it's Sir Jake, won the race and went home with two thousand pesos.
Haven't I mentioned that we have Terri Reed, the only Filipina contestant of The Amazing Race Asia 2 as our guest of honor and presentor of contestants in The Amazing Race Asia Pacific College Season 2?
The next main highlight of the day is the game show entitled "Ku-kuwatro ka ba?" (English translation: Will you get a four?). the title is based on APC's grading system wherein 4.0 is the highest grade. 3 teams of 4 professors competed in this game show. It was patterned after a term in APC. They answered 2 long quizzes by using the Moodle, a learning management system. Group 2 won the eliminationround. 4 professors vied for the top spot: Sir Bryan Reginald (yet again), Ms. Virgie, Sir Carl and Sir Calimlim. Eventually, Sir Bryan won the competition, yet again.
Tomorrow, we will be having the 4th Annual Intra-College Quiz Show. Schools will be battling it out for the top honor. I together with two Business Administration students will compete in the said contest.
Which of APC's four schools, SoMA (Multimedia Arts), SoAB (Accountancy and Business), SoE (Engineering), SoCSIT (Computer Science and Information Technology) will emerge victoriously?
I do hope we win this one. We will find out tomorrow. Have a blessed night everyone!

One of The Worst 'Five Minutes' of My Life
Salut! Today is Day 2 of College Week in APC and yes, as the title of this post suggested, I just had, yet again, one of the worst 'five minutes' of my life.
This morning, we had the 2009 APC Speech Olympics. First up was the 2009 APC Debate Society Annual Debate. My blockmate Glenn together with Chloe and another guy won the competition. Congratulations Glenn and Chloe!
Next up is the Extemporaneous Speaking. In the eliminations held weeks before the finals, I was chosen as a finalist. The topic back then was "The Insignificance of the EDSA People Power Revolution to the Filipino Youth", or something like it. I already forgot. It's just how meaningless it has become to the youth.
The girls spoke first. I was the fifth speaker. BTW, the topic was "Women as builders of Communities and Dreams". As I walked up the stage, I didnt notice that my slim, white necktie was on my right shoulder. It sort of kinda flew XD I greeted the audience with the French version of "Good morning to all of you" or Bonne matin tout le monde --- en francais.
The crowd cheered. I know I was of to a good start. I think, I made a mistake by focusing on the time when the woman was created. i quoted Genesis 1 verse 18, 21 and 23. I think I bored the audience. My speech turned out to be a boring, religious type of a whatonearisthis speech.
The topic was given last Friday and I just had my speech done yesterday evening. Thanks Mrs. Padilla for your help. Also that evening, I went to my aunt's house to tutor my cousin. I ended up sleeping at 2 in the morning after I finished my laundry.
I made a mistakes during my speech. I interchanged 'man' and 'woman'. I forgot some of my lines. And I exceeded the five-minute time limit.
All of this is because of a unpreparedness, no sufficient amount of sleep, a lot of things in mind, and no breakfast on the day of the competition.
Bottomline: A very good speech can be ruined by unpreparedness.
You might've brought bullets and ammunition to a war. But if you do not have the ability, the courage, the skill... if you are unprepared even a bit...if you don't know how to fire your guns... if you are caught off guard... if you do not learn from your wounds of previous battles... you will lose a war, or terribly...
Tomorrow has got to improve. Have agreat night everyone!

College Week at APC
Bonne matin tout le monde! I know It's around 1:30 yet I'm still awake.
Anyway, today until Saturday, that's March 9-14, 2009 is Asia Pacific College. A lot of fun activities are lined up and I'm sure, this is gonna be one College Week to look forward to. BTW, I'll be competing in an Extemporaneous Speech Contest on Tuesday and the whole week long, I'd be a marshal and documenting officer of The Amazing Race ASIA PACIFIC COLLEGE Season 2. I missed it so much. Ate Mica and I were contestants last year. Too bad we're eliminated second. Oh, and on Friday, I will be assisting the judges for the upcoming Mr. and Ms. Asia Pacific College Pageant. Since one of the judges is Japanese, I am forced and expected to learn Nihonggo or Japanese.
More updates soon!
