Venturing To Another Somewhat Uncharted Territory

This morning, I started my first "official" work at an international financial institution that i'm not going to mention for confidentiality's sake.

It's great to be back in the corporate world after more than a year of missing it. For those of you who doesn't know, I underwent a 6-month, full-time intensive internship with a global technology innovation company back in 2011.

The job seems challenging, but what do i know? This is another somewhat uncharted territory waiting to be conquered, right? :D

Mpre posts to come real soon.

Thanks for your loyalty!

I was at a meeting last night when I learned of the news that one of the most jovial persons I know passed away.

JC was a Multi-media Arts student , while I was a Business Management student. I can't think of anything we have in common except we study in the same school and we are active in our student organizations.

He introduced me to "The Vampire Diaries", and the show got me hooked.

Our frequent meetings at the Student Activities Office Lounge and most recently, the Publications Office got me more acquainted with him.

He's got a lot of dreams. He's a very diligent student and is very good at what he does.

I pray that God would comfort his family in this trying time.

Thanks for making me smile and laugh. Thanks for all the memories. 

You are gone too soon and you will surely be missed... Farewell JC... 

#fwdPH

Philippines' Social Media Weekend 2013's theme is #fwdPH. Read this article to learn why.

*lifted verbatim from tweetupmnl.com

See you on June 29-30 for Social Media Weekend in PH!

This 2013, the Philippines celebrates Social Media Day in a different way.

Events get underway a day early, on June 29, when netizens from Metro Manila hold a big meetup at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City, the country’s financial capital. The fun continues on June 30 with meetups in Baguio, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon, Davao and other cities Thus, a Social Media Weekend across these amazing islands.

This year, too, we are taking the theme “Let’s move #fwdPH”.

More than a century ago, a young man who grew up selling paper fans, educated himself by reading books and later worked as a bodegero rallied the nation with his call “Sugod, mga kapatid!”. In our own little way and as a tribute to dim and those who responded to his battlecry, we say today “Let’s move #fwdPH”.

It is a call on all Pinoy netizens to use social media for social good, and to maximize our personal and collective social media capital for social change. We have done it before and we must do it again and again – not just because we can, but because we must.

“Let’s move #fwdPH” means being a good citizen both online and offline. Being responsible. Being vocal. Taking a stand on issues. Exposing corruption and incompetence. Making politics work for the country, especially the voiceless, poor and marginalized. And using social media to help achieve these.

“Let’s move #fwdPH” means making #ReliefPH and #RescuePH our permanent personal pledge and national movement. Perhaps no better way is there to show the power of our use of social media than when our people need in the most – during disasters.

“Let’s move #fwdPH” means supporting entrepreneurs and developers, community managers and strategists, programmers and artists – especially those who have taken their space in the expanding social media landscape. Just imagine how much more opportunities we could create for community and country.

“Let’s move #fwdPH” means taking action to improve Internet service quality, to bridge the digital divide, to support moves to connect all provinces, cities, towns and villages to the web using high-speed, reliable Internet. And to keep Internet free, our privacy intact, and our rights respected. Citizens of the world’s social media capital deserve, no less.

“Let’s move #fwdPH” means bridging gaps using social media. Rich and poor. City and countryside. Those of us in the homeland and the millions living and toiling abroad. Veterans and newbies. Offline and online. And we do so by forming communities and together never giving up on our personal and collective needs, wants, and hopes.

We may have many differences – gender, faith, politics, color, region, language, class and others – but we share two common things: Boundless hope in the future and a belief that we can only rely on ourselves to move our country forward. And so we say “Let’s move #fwdPH”.

And so we say proudly and clearly this Social Media Weekend, “Let’s move #fwdPH”.

Rains of June

As the month of June replaces the torn leaf of May in our calendars, so does the rainy season begin here in the Philippines. 

It ends the the seemingly never-ending reign of Summer and the heat it brings to El Tierra. 

However, as rain comes down from the heavens, so does the ineludible distress that it brings to every human being it hits here on earth.

The endless outcry of people stranded. 

Of people stuck in a frozen traffic jam. 

Of people suffering from the floods that suddenly comes out of nowhere.

It's a vicious cycle. A cycle of suffering, and causing our suffering.

When will we ever learn?

Letter of Gratitude

For those who weren’t aware or simply didn’t care, I’m going to say it anyway XD

I got admitted in the hospital from June 2-13 due to complete gut obstruction secondary to post-operative (1998) adhesions secondary to hypokalemia secondary to gastritis.

I underwent exploratory laparotomy with adhesiolysis last June 5^th. By God’s grace and power, I tolerated the procedure well. I got out of the hospital last Thursday (June 13^th).

Praise and thanks be to God for His grace, His power, His providence, the wisdom He gave my surgeon and physicians, and for His sovereignty. Even though what happened to me is something others would deem as an insurmountable crisis, a curse even, I know that my God is still and always will be in control.   Now, more than ever I can gladly declare that truly, by Jesus’ stripes we are healed.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank a number of people who extended help and prayers to me and my family while we were in dire need.

I’d like to thank my Dad, Auntie Bong, Auntie Norie, Auntie Nancy, my godmother Erlinda, my cousin Khristine and my nieces Maribeth and Hazel who took “shifts” in watching over me. For enduring sleepless nights, responding to my demands, er, requests, and never getting tired of going to and fro the hospital, thank you so much. My thanks also go out to Auntie Babes who opened her home to my family as ‘headquarters’ and station for those who are watching over me.

To my sis, Jhorell, thank you so much for the care you showed while I was suffering from my illness; for shelling out to cover some of my medical expenses; for giving your time to help me while I was being transferred to another hospital and for enduring headaches and stress, my condition has caused you and your family.

To my cousin Ate Zarah who prayed for me, kept constant communication with my Dad with regards to my condition and for taking the time to go to Makati from Cavite and for patiently waiting for me outside the Operating Room, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thanks also to my cousin Ate Rellie who extended help via Auntie Nancy, thank you so much.

My thanks also go out to Auntie Necy, who kept constant communication with me and my family with regards to my concerns, and also for extending help. I know how much you’d like to visit me and I understand that you’re not able because you’re still recuperating from your illness. We can’t afford the both of us getting sick XD

To Mommy Dely who extended help from Canada, even though you know you have to take it from your limited living allowance, thank you so much for your generosity. Thanks also for your prayers and for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.

To Pastor Jeff, thank you so much for visiting me in the hospital and for extending help to me and my family. Thank you so much for raising what happened to me to SBC-Main and asking for help in my behalf. Also, thank you so much to your wife, Ate Jennie and your mom Tita Matty for keeping constant communication with me and my family with regards to my concerns. Thank you so much for all your prayers.

Also, my thanks go out to Kuya Ted, for extending your help and for asking for help in my behalf. I really appreciate it. Please know that I am so amazed you are friend XD

To Ma’am Glo, thank you so much for extending your help and for taking the time to visit me in the hospital, knowing that you have classes to teach in the afternoon. Thanks also to Ate Sarj and to Kuya Gino who extended their help via Ma’am Glo.

I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to my dear friends Ellaine and Eloisa for taking the time to visit me in the hospital and for extending so much help. I know you just got home from work Ate Eloisa and yet you still made the time to visit me. Thanks also Ellaine for accompanying your sister. I know I haven’t seen you for quite some time, that’s why I am so surprised to see you visit me. Please know that I really appreciate your friendship and what you did for me. I hope to see you back in church.

Thank you also to Tita Mercie who persisted with the guards of the hospital just to visit me and to extend help (even though its past visiting hours). Thanks also to Kuya Wilmar who extended help via Tita Mercie. Please know that I really appreciate it.

My thanks also go out to Pastor Donnie Ompad of PEC who prayed for me and extended help via my Dad. Thanks also to Tita Lucy, for visiting me in the hospital and for bringing ‘mamon’ (too bad I wasn’t allowed to eat when you brought them), and to Auntie Len and Ate Merey. I’d like you to know that I appreciate your visit.

Thanks also to Ate Zarah and her daughter Cates for dropping by the hospital, even though you know Cates has a scheduled check-up that day.

Thank you so much to Jk and my Pioneer friends for praying for me. I really appreciate it.

Finally, my thanks go out to SBC-Makati, the Mother’s DNA Group and to JIVE Youth Leaders for praying for me. Do know that I appreciate my prayers.

To everyone who prayed for me that I wasn’t able to mention, thank you so much. Please know that I really appreciate your prayers for my speedy recovery.

Words will never be enough to express my endless gratitude to everyone who helped me and my family in this trying time. May God bless all of you for what you did for me.

I know God extended my life because He’s not yet done with me. With Christ, I know that the rest of my life will be the best days of life.  I’m looking forward to serving God the rest of my life.

All for God’s glory!

Webmaster's Taking A Vacation

Hiya there folks! 

If you're wondering what happened to me, then worry no more. I've been taking a vacation folks. But who am I kidding? Even in vacation, work still manages to swoop in.

The first three months of 2013 has been a roller coaster ride. I'll dedicate a separate post to detail the events that transpired.

Probably, by April, or May, I'll launch 'Regelation Of The Mind', at that time in its own domain.

There are a couple of loose ends I am tying up, like, landing a job XD 

After those ends are tied, then I'll be back to blogging.

I give you my word.

Sincerely,
Game Master Rege

Focus of Christmas

Before anything else, let me greet you with "A blessed, meaningful and merry Christmas!".

I don't know about you, but for me, Christmas is the best season ever! Here in my country, the Philippines, the celebration of this marvelous season starts in September. This is the time when the morning breeze gets colder, signalling that the "spirit" of Christmas is all around.

More often than not, every year actually, we lose sight of the real focus of Christmas. 

I'm sure you've heard the familiar Christmas rhyming cliche. I'm not gonna mention it here because you already know that and because it'd be another cliche to even mention a word of it. It would be redundant.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. Here's my first point:

Christmas is for you.

You read that right folks. Christmas is for you. Luke 2:11 NJKV says, "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."

Christ was born to you. To save you. To save you from your sins. That is why He is the Savior. Jesus was born to save you from your sins because sin is our primary problem.

If our primary problem is money, then, God would've sent a banker. If our primary problem is poverty, then God would've sent us an economist.

God sent us a Savior because we need saving. We need salvation.

Christmas is about God reaching out to man by sending His only Son to seek and save the lost.

Here's my next point:

The focus of Christmas is JESUS and we respond by worshiping Him for who He is and for what he has done.

Christmas maybe for you, but Christmas is not about you. A lot of people think that Christmas is about the food, the gifts, the parties, about what they will get. People think that Christmas is about Santa Claus, or about the carols to sing or about the tallest and the brightest Christmas trees.

But no. Christmas is about Jesus. It's all about Him. When we make Christmas all about ourselves, we are missing the point of celebrating this wondrous and miraculous event.

The appropriate response then is worship. Worship Jesus because He is the Lord and because He saved us from our sins.

I hope that what I've shared to you will help you understand the focus of this season's celebration. Again, have a blessed, meaningful and merry Christmas! :D

     

Trip to the Christmas Capital of The Philippines

Quick post. 

Later this morning, I and my friends will head out to the Christmas Capital of the Philippines, none other than the City of San Fernando, Pampanga for the Giant Lantern Festival 2012.

It was back in 2007 when I last went to San Fernando to see the ~20-feet tall lanterns made up of thousands of light bulbs operated manually by a rotating drum.

It's exciting because I get to return to the province where our family came from. Yep. I'm Kapampangan (That's someone from the province of Pampanga for thsoe who doesn't know Filipino). I may not speak the dialect fluently, but embracing the culture my family was involved in somehow gives me great pleasure.

We'll leave by 9AM later and we expect to get there at around 10:30AM. I'll be posting pictures so watch out.

I'm finishing up some tasks and will go to sleep in a bit. Until next post! :D

He's Back! For Now ...

Hey...

It's Rege...

And guess what?

I'm back to Regelation Of The Mind! :D

Isn't this fun?

On my next posts, I will tell you where I've been and what on earth have I been doing during my my 4-month blogging hiatus.

In the meantime, please know that I'm still alive and kicking. I'm doing great, except for the fact that I don't have a day job.

I'd like to say "Thank you!" to all my loyal and "chance" readers out there.

I'll keep you "posted" :D

Love and thoughts go out to you all!

GM Rege I.

Genesis 8:7-12

Nation, let us all continue to pray for our fellow countrymen suffering due to the incessant, torrential rains.

Instead of helping spread relief, there are some people hiding behind their usernames and keyboards eager to spread fear.

I got so irritated when I read this tweet:

Someone who is masquerading as "God Almighty" and whose Twitter handle is "@Godstagram" insinuated and implied a coincidence between today's date, with the widespread flooding, with Noah and the Great Flood. Genesis 8:7-12 was trending worldwide, BTW.

The problem is, "@Godstagram" misquoted Scripture. If you're really God, who is omniscient (knows all things), there is absolutely no way You could misquote the Bible. It's Your Word for everyone's sake! How could God forget His words?

BTW, Genesis 8:7-12 is about Noah, sending a raven and a dove to see if the waters have started to recede. I know this because I am a Sunday School teacher. I taught this in my classes several times. If you don't believe me, grab a Bible. look it up. I know you have one in your house and it's just accumulating dust. 

Yep. Filipino households have at least two Bibles in their homes. gathering dust and becoming dwelling places for arachnids. Sad, sad truth.

Anyway, to those spreading the and dwelling on the coincidence of Genesis 8:7-12 with today's date, clearly you never read your Bible.

This is what should be trending, that God remembered Noah and everyone with him in the ark and He sent a wind over the earth and the 'flood' receded.

Genesis 8:1-3 says "But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth..."

In Genesis 9:12-16, God made a covenant with Noah that He will never again, destroy all life with a food.

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

So please, stop being shortsighted. As Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things."

Instilling fear in the hearts of our fellow Filipinos and quoting Scripture out of context is a big no-no! Let's think of things that will encourage one another.

My apologies if I sound like a self-righteous bastard. I just have to post this because spreading these twisted truths blinds other people who are ignorant of the truth. It strikes a nerve when people commit these grave acts of deception and blatant "brainwashing".

Let me be clear, I'm a humble sinner just like everyone else. I'm not saying I'm better than you are.

Now's not the time to be afraid. There re 365 ("Fear not..")s in the Bible. One for each day of the year. 

Now's the time to PUSH. Pray until something happens.

Olympics and Peace

Watching a replay on TV of the 'Parade Of Nations', where nations of the world come together in unity for the #Olympics just makes me cry...


I'm not sure if it's the hormones that makes me emotional but at least, to some degree, the world is at peace during this year's #Olympics


Citius. Altius. Fortius. | Faster. Higher. Stronger.


Long live the Olympic Games!

Regelation 072712

I am not feeling very well for almost week now. I've been feeling down and anxious.


I'm not sure if this is my OCD, but I think there are things I should be fixing/arranging right now but I can't seem to put my finger to it.

To The Guy I Met Tonight...

To the guy (whose name I really can't remember) who greeted me (and smiled at me) tonight at Glorietta, my apologies for not responding.


You seem to know me and yet I cannot remember when and where or whether or not we've met. Have we met before? If you're on FB, Google+ blogger or Twitter and happen to read this, kindly PM/DM me. I'd hate for you to think I'm a snob.


P.S. Guys, please don't hate me if you see me around, you waved, called me, or tried to get my attention and yet I acted as if I never saw you.


1) I never really saw you. I usually am more focused on going where I need to be. (I am also a fast walker)


2) I never really heard you. My headset is always on and my music player's always on shuffle mode. Or, I really never heard you XD


3) I have problems remembering names and sometimes faces. If I haven't seen you for quite some time or if you changed your physical appearance and demeanor, chances are, I won't be able to recognize you. Believe me. this happened last Sunday. Right, LJ?


If you see me around and I don't seem to recognize you, kindly introduce yourself, stating when and where we've met.


Thank you so much. I really appreciate it :D
