Magellan's Cross

Finally, I've seen this famous cross. The original cross is inside that that wood. Cebuanos usually pass here to touch that cross and pray. This is just a few walks from Basilica del Santo NiƱo. :)

Dreams Do Come True!!!

Kehrbears Davao Chapter GT with JAMES REID

I was caught with what Cyril has been feeling about this whole thing. “Ate, dreams do really come true when you keep on mentioning it...” he said while we were on our way to the venue.

It was November last year, when I first tried my best to be on one of James mall show. That was in SM City Davao. He just loves how people fall in line in exchange of a single photo with his smile. Lo was with him that time. He was playing his guitar with The Script’s song and danced that famous “teach me how to dougie”. He even nailed Bieber’s Mistletoe. Oh, Lo was extra kind to James fans and I just love her.

He came back with Bret a couple of weeks after SM City Davao Mall Show. They did school tour for WAW and performed in MTS. I saw how girls go gaga on him. Then, I met Armi and Cyril. I remember how happy James was when he saw the tarp we gave him. That tarp just informed him that Kehrbear Davao does exist.

Then, the Robinson Abreeza event which started all the planning of a get together. Sadly, I did not join my two new friends. But Cyril became the familiar one. James recognized him. Cyril worked hard for this event and it was worthwhile.

Indeed, it was a dream came true for Kehrbears to build a fan base for James Reid here in Davao. And today just marked our first ever get together. It was amazing, leaving me speechless and smiling. We do not have any idea how to start a get together but everything went well. Thanks to James Reid who was very nice and accommodating.

Well, the best thing about tonight was, I gained lots of new friends. I was once alone, then gained two (Armi & Cyril) and now got more than a dozen. Hopefully that will be thrice as what I have now. Not to mention the online H I get kakulitan with. Until next James Reid’s visit Kehrbears!

Sunset at Manila Bay and Julie Anne San Jose

January 7, 2012, I went to Manila to meet my good friends, Gretel, Beth and Mar. We spent a day of walking around MOA and shared a lot of stories.
A good thing of giving oneself a break from all the work schedules and other businesses is you will get to experience life more on different side. Not the usual. When we got out of terminal 3, the only thing I was able to say was, “ANG GULO...” I am not use to traffic and long rides just to get to another place, especially if it is just meters away. But everything went well, not because of the place but because I was able to meet sweet, good and loving people. Thank you for the wonderful experienced.

New Year! Another Year to be Happy, Holy and Wise!!!

I enjoyed reading the book written by Anne Bryan Smollin entitled Live Laugh and be Blessed. And I cannot help quoting her chapter 16. Below you can read her 26 ways to be happy, holy and wise.

Of which I realized; I may not give a cure to the world’s illness at least I could prevent infecting virus that I could possibly spread. And since it is a new year, I will start renewing my classic philosophy.  Live life to the fullest and be better by starting from within, from oneself and make a difference. I may be too small for this world. I may be nobody, but every simple good deed I made will surely contribute in making earth a better place.

I hope you too will realize that having better person around will make things simple to live. Happy New Year!!!

Accept each new day as a gift. 
Believe in your goodness and the goodness of others.
Cheer for others and their successes.
Don't ever give up.
Every moment is a gift for you - live it.
Forgive others and yourself.
Give thanks for all your blessings daily.
Have faith.
Invite others to share moments with you.
Join groups and be involved.
Keep in touch with those you love.
Laugh, laugh and laugh some more.
Make some mistakes daily - on purpose.
Never judge - give others the benefit of the doubt.
Offer to share your time and talents.
Praise the good works of others.
Quit worrying.
Relax, rest and live each day fully.
Say nice things to and about others.
Take time to play.
Understand that everything won't be perfect.
Value what you have.
Wish for the stars.
X-plain things when necessary.
You are important don't forget that.
Zap life into everything.
