Reginalde - Flores Nuptial

Last December 12, 2008 my cousin Glenn got married, since Kuya Glenn was the eldest among all of our cousins (well at least for the Reginalde side), it was a memorable event to the whole Reginalde Family. I was part of the entourage, as one of the grooms men, it was nice, Church was nice, as well as the reception. Here are some pics taken on that day, I do apologize some are blurred I just got them through my cousin's friendster accounts hehehehe.

Current Events : Thinking Out Loud

Manny Pacquiao vs De La Hoya :

- its good to have someone that really unites the country, well at least for a day. I'm really not into boxing, I rather pay much in watching Brgy Ginebra's game than Manny Pacquiao, but just what I said he is someone who binds the Filipinos united, so I think it's still good to have a Manny Pacquiao. My comment on the match? hmm, is De La Hoya a boxer? hahahaha. The match seemed to be pre-agreed upon. Boxing politics.

Charter Change (Cha-cha) :

- back in college I had a fair share of reading the present Philippine constitution, admittedly there are some parts of the constitution that I personally think needs revision and further checking but is charter change a way to correct all this? Nah I don't think so... even if we change the Philippine constitution and our form of government but we still keep those corrupt and greedy government officials, the Philippines will stay the same........ or probably FAIL more. Maybe we can start with those who are proven corrupt, erase them and their bloodline within politics. That's where I think we should start.

Marky Cielo's death :

- He's too young, just like Rico Yan, Marky died at the peak of his career, he could have done much. Hope he finds peace.

Oil prices slip below $45 per barrel

- this is good news, hope it continues to go down and extends to the next year. Gas price has been a pain in the ass for the past months, it went up so high that I had to decide not to bring my car to work. Good thing it's now going down.

Lord I Offer You My Life

I attended Kuya Glenn's and Ate Acel's wedding just a while ago, and a song during the mass made me reflect and somehow made me realize things. Analyzing the thought of the song made me relaxed, it was so instant and it felt so great. Well it could have been with the singer.... I've listened to the song before, it's really a good song, not only that it has a great lyrics but it has a great tune as well. Anyways, I'll be adding the song lyrics with this post, as for Kuya Glenn's wedding I'll just post the pics soon.

Lord I offer you my life - Hillsong


(Verse 1)
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours

(Verse 2)
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, alll of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you

(Chorus)
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life

(Bridge)
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

Keeping Steady

For some unknown reason I got up super early today than usual, its only 12:40pm here in Manila and I'm already up, yes its PM..... I should be nocturnal this week, and for a nocturnal person 12 noon is not good.

Haven't been blogging much recently, I was only able to post 3 articles for November. Why? I'm really not sure, maybe it's my way of trying to be steady, too much rantings and thinking out loud might cause stress to me and to my readers. It would be better that I keep my positive attitude, things will be better .... with God's help of course. Honestly, even though there are still problems around, I think we're in good shape, there's this different positive attitude from my folks and my brothers now. Hope 2009 will be better than this year.

As for work.... hmmm that's another story. It's just that recent that we were trying to adjust with some changes with the team, slowly but surely we're getting there, struggled a bit but we did it, we all hoped that it would be the last ... well at least for the year, but we were wrong. It's just ironic that whenever an episode ends, it always gives some preview of the next episode. Same thing happens in real life. Some changes are yet to come in 2009..... Hope we all could handle it. It's sad but I respect her decision.

Well, I need to get back to never land ..... or else expect downtimes during my shift hahahaha.

Happy Eaters Club

Just the other night with too much avail time and enthusiast for food the Happy Eaters Club was formed. Currently the club has 6 members and the first grand eye ball was set last Thursday morning at Bellore Restaurant in Examiner st. for a grand Breakfast Buffet.

Season 3 : Episode 1

Episode one : Life goes on...

Just between the end of October and the start of November, ITHD started its new season. Yes, now we're on season 3, a lot of changes taking place, some people ended their contracts while some just signed up for this new season.

At this point, I'm really not sure how the story would go from here... but nevertheless, I feel optimistic about it. Exciting isn't it? All we can do is take advantage of things that we have right now and try put those we've lost at the back of our minds. Putting a smile each day is not that hard, considering that there are sad moments, this team really knows how to put on a positive attitude.

Hope things go well in the next few episodes.....

Christeta

I wasn't able to sleep that much last night....

When I got home around past 12 midnight, my youngest brother, Jr, was still up preparing for his exams today. As I was eating my late dinner, he informed me that he never saw Tetay when he arrived up to that very time that we were talking.

As a routine, I usually feed the dogs with left overs alternately with their dog food. With my mid shift schedule, our dogs usually eats twice in a night. First is after the usual family dinner, then the second is after my late dinner since I usually arrive at home around 10:30pm the latest.

As I was feeding the other dogs last night, I kept on calling my Artetay's name... but to my surprise.... she never came. At that point I was thinking where she could have gone and was hoping that she's ok.

Just the other week there's this bald, no good and non sense old man from our neighborhood that called our attention claiming that Tetay ran after him when he was on his way home. The bald man was angry and threatened us that he'll do something if it happens again. Having that in mind, I was disturbed. We don't usually allow our dogs to go out of the house, considering that our village has this roaming team that collects stray dogs and detains them near the clubhouse.
It's just that Tetay is a very clever and hard headed dog. She find ways of going out, even if it means that she'll be destroying part of our steel gate. Also there are times that she takes the opportunity when somebody goes out the small gate.

I stayed up late, I was trying to wait for Tetay's knock on the gate, which she usually does when she breaks free, no luck. This morning, my mom got up early checked on the dogs and still Tetay wasn't there. My mom said to check on the club house before I go to work. But being worried with Tetay's condition I asked mom if we could pass by the clubhouse on our way out. So there we went. Before I could even turn off the engine, my mom and I heard a bark from somewhere, which we both assumed that it was Tetay. But the clubhouse was still closed, and we can't see where they have detained the dogs. So mom and I decided to look around, luckily we found the dog cage at the back part of the clubhouse. Yes !!! Tetay's there along with some other dogs, wagging her tail and crying out loud to bail her. Unfortunately the clubhouse is till close, so we asked around how we could bail Tetay out. A nearby resident informed us that the cage keys are with the security guard. So there we went, since mom needs to go to school, I informed the security guard that I'll be back to claim Tetay. So after I brought mom to the nearest public transportation loading, I went back to the guard house and asked what would be the procedure in claiming my dog back. He asked me to come back around 8am, and I need to pay a penalty of 100 since Tetay was detained for a day. So I said ok, just to get my dog back.

So I went back home, ate some breakfast, went online to email something for mom as I was waiting for 8am. But around 7:57am I heard a continuous banging on our steel gate, I thought it was Kenjie trying to get out, but now it was coming from the outside and it seems that who ever is banging it was in a hurry.

So I looked out ..... it was Tetay .... As I was opening the gate, I looked around to check if the security guard is there, but it was just Tetay on the street. I was asking her, how the hell did you get out... obviously she can't answer back. Till now, I'm still thinking how this clever dog could have gotten out that cage. Never the less I'm happy she's back and safe.

Christeta is not an imported dog or anything like that, but our family already loved her for what she is. She's a Christmas gift from my Tita's family 2 years ago. She's stubborn and never listens at times but that is what makes her unique to all.
