Mga Alumni sa DLSJBC

ATTENTION: De La Salle John Bosco College Alumni and to all those who are interested :)

Kabalo naman siguro mo tanan na ang Batch 97 ang sponsor sa Alumni Homecoming karon Dec. As a tradition, ang batch na nigraduate 10 years before ang mo-sponsor. So since 2007 karon, 1997 ang sponsor. (DUH?!) And kabalo man sad ta nga big deal man gyud ning alumni homecoming sa ato coz kita man tanan naga look forward ani. Get together sa mga kinakusgan sa Mangagoy/Bislig :) char. hehehe.

So as early as now, nagsugod nami ug fund raising sa Batch 97 para sa alumni homecoming this Dec. and sa uban pa na projects. Mao ni among first na project. Since nag change ug name ang atong school, nagbuhat mi ug mga memorabilia. (By the way, wala daw na-approve ang De La Salle College of St. John Bosco so De La Salle John Bosco College na ang official name) Mao ni ang first batch sa among mga designs. Mag add mi ug more designs pag mahurot na ang first batch :)

Kung kinsa interested mag order, just send me a message diri sa friendster or sa email :) Thanks. Suportahan nato ang Batch 97 and atong Alma Mater (and yeah, naa sad times na maseryoso ang batch 97.. hehehehe)

John Bosco College -- now an official District School of De La Salle Philippines

FYI.

John Bosco School is in Mangagoy, Bislig City, in the province of Surigao del Sur. It was supervised by De La Salle Brothers since 1974. The school's name was changed to John Bosco College in 1997/1998. But it became an official District School of De La Salle Philippines last year. So this February of 2007,  John Bosco College will again change its name to DE LA SALLE COLLEGE OF ST JOHN BOSCO.

Officially Employed :)

2006. July. August. September. October. November. December.

I cannot believe that I have been doing absolutely nothing for the past 5-6 months. No job. No income. Just wandering around Cebu. A total bummer. How did I survive?! I don't know.

I have been jobless for almost half a year. And it was my choice. Mainly because I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO. I was offered a job in Singapore last September, and a couple of jobs here in Cebu last October and November... BUT i have to turn them down. I was and I still am confused, if I'm gonna stay in the Philippines, or if I'm gonna try my luck in another country again. Philippines, because I'm not yet sure if I'm ready to go out of the country again. And of course, my loved ones are here. (read: family and bee) Singapore/Abroad because I think there are a lot of better job opportunities there. And better pay as well.

After weighing the pros and cons and everything, I have decided to stay. So I applied for different jobs here in Cebu again. Luckily, on my 2nd day of job hunting, I got hired. Weeee!!! Unluckily, our training starts a month after. So that means extended vacation. Yeah right, like I needed an extension. So I bummed around for another month.

And at long laaaaast, I started my first day of training yesterday. Yipee! :)

So what's my point? I don't know. I just wanted to write a blog coz I haven't written an entry since October. But I don't know if my blog makes sense to you guys. Well whatever.

Oh well. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

RC gave birth to a very cute 2.7 kilogram baby boy last friday, October 6 2006 at 10:55 am. Since it is RC and Junrey's first baby, they were really excited, but scared at the same time. I asked them how they felt when they saw their baby for the first time... 'unexplainable feeling'. You will really cry daw talaga. Plus all the pagod, effort and everything will be worth it. I'm so happy for them. (Can't wait to have my own baby. YIKES! Hehehe. I'm not yet ready no!) So yeah, Congratulations to RC and Junrey. See you on the 22nd, sa binyag ni baby shox. Miss you bru.

HELP MANGAGOY/BISLIG

[entry taken from Joey's blog]

October 3, 2006. Bislig, Surigao del Sur. a massive fire ate up approximately 3000 households in the public market area of the seaside city of Bislig Surigao del Sur. Many of the affected are small scale merchants who live on the stores surrounding the public market, and fishermen who rely heavily on the public market for deals. This is the biggest fire in the history of the town, rendering around 15000 people homeless and with little supply of food. The town is still in shock. As of this writing, rescue and relief operations are being done to find the bodies of those trapped in the fire. The town depends on the public market for their daily supply of food, and with the market now gone, they will need every help they can get. Bislig is five hours away from Davao and Butuan.

Help can be of any form: clothes, food, utensils, medicines, cash etc. for those who can give please send your donations to Rockedphilippines and we will make sure these will reach the proper authorities in Bislig. Let us know how we can reach you for pick up of goods thru our email rockedphilippines@yahoo.com. For those who are giving cash donations you may send it to the rocked bank account: Bank of the Philippine Islands Loyola Katipunan QC Branch. bank account name: ROCK ED PROJECT . bank account # : 3080-0073-44. Please send us an email with the details of your donation (amount, deposit number, date and time) so that we can give you back confirmations.

beach on a rainy day...

bagyong milenyo. hmmmm. makapag beach nga. hahaha! yeah i know 'bagyo days' these days but we went to the beach last saturday with friends from surigao (mangagoy and cantillan). walang pakialaman =p enjoy naman kami. the usual inuman, kainan, kantahan, tawanan, kwentuhan and the rest. d lang nga kami masyadong nakapag swim kasi ang daming jellyfishes as in super big talaga. mas malaki pa don sa jellyfishes na na-meet ni nemo and dory. hehehe. the next day, akala namin wala ng jellyfishes pero meron pa rin, so sandali lang kami sa tubig. pero super enjoy pa rin kami kahit na d masyado nakapagswim. next time na naman. here are the pics... konti lang kasi yung ibang pics nasa digicam ni bee. will upload them soon... (dito na lang ako magpopost ng pics kasi naubos na yung allowable uploads ko dun sa xanga account ko... hahahaha)

dubai dubai dubai

reply to cecelia's blog.

AJMAN, first destination

Aside from the creepy people and fire on our first day, ces forgot to mention the noodles-for-a-week diet. It was Ramadan when we arrived so all stores and restos were closed. We don't have any decent food to eat since we just arrived from the Phils. The stores and restos open after 6pm, but our work was from 2pm-12mn so there was no way that we can do the groceries. We bought noodles na lang sa convience store. And we ate noodles lang, as in no rice or whatsoever, for a week. Imagine?!

Ajman is an hour drive from Dubai. In short, naa na siya sa bukid, outside Dubai. We had bad experiences in Ajman so after a week, we moved out from the company's accommodation.

BUR DUBAI, second destination

Hmmm nicest and biggest room we ever had. And most affordable as well --- considering the size of the room. If not for the "samukan" visitors that we had (katong lovers in paris... hehehe), we won't be transferring to satwa. Let me say, this is the most memorable place we had in Dubai. Aside from the famous eviction, parties, drinking session, etc... naa pa sad mi usa ka secret diri nga place. right toni? hehehe. just kidding. love yah toni. hehehe. And who can forget our crying sessions on christmas day. We woke up early in the afternoon and talked about how sad our christmas is gonna be. Mayang started to cry and takdan nasad ang uban sa ato. Then my family called and i began crying again. After the call, we ate our late lunch but I was still crying. So natakdan nasad ang uban. We were eating, crying and laughing at the same time. The reason for crying? Aside from we missed our loved ones very much, we don't have any money left for our 9day xmas vacation. Kasi... Our very good company didn't give us our salary =( Good thing, our other housemates prepared food for Noche Buena and nag amot na lang sad mi gamay. So we still had fun on christmas eve. Our first christmas away from home. Hubog and busog gihapon. Hehehe. On christmas day itself, we ate the leftover food, then naglingaw sa swimming pool sa bldg. Hahay.

AL SATWA, third destination

The so-called Colon in Dubai. But come to think of it, it's cleaner and safer than Colon sad daw oi. Place na dili namo ganahan puy-an before coz it's kinda gubot  compared to Bur Dubai. But nakastay gihapon mi and nalingaw ra sad mi. A lot of Filipinos in this place. You'll go to Al Maya Lals Supermarket and mura ra sad ka ug naa sa Gaisano Metro coz halos tanan tao are Fiipinos. Met a lot of friends here as well =)

Side trips? Hmmm. Wild Wadi. I was about to go w Mayang and the others, but I was too tired. Sayang becoz Mayang had a good discount. From 200 dhs, we only have to pay 15 dhs. I've heard that it was really amazing. Cge lang, next time. Hehehe. Desert Safari. Only in my dreams. Usual hang-outs: Jumeirah Beach/Outside Burj Al Arab, Chikka Grill (as in every weekend --- ilado na gud mi sa banda ddto, imention pirmi ang name namo... Hehehe), Tipanan (ahhh bulalo and tapsilog), Deira City Center (grocery and shopping galore), Baskin Robbins (fave namo ni toni --- heaven gyud kaayo), Hardees, Marrybrown, Mall of the Emirates, etc etc etc. Basta daghan kaayo.

On the more serious note, Dubai was like a dream come true. I mean US is my main target. We all do have the so-called 'American Dream' ayt? Dubai was like my stepping stone to the US. If not for Skycom, I would have decided to stay. Despite the fact that i missed my loved ones a lot. But because of my very bad experience --- no, let me rephrase that -- But because of my worst experience in Skycom, I decided to go home. Well I didn't decide, actually. My family wanted me to go home already. I missed my family a lot esp bee so I went home. I think Dubai is not for me. Or maybe, this is not the right time for me to go to other places. Biglaan man sad gud akong paglarga. Didn't have plans gyud. Nikalit lang gyud siya abot and I wasn't able to plan everything wisely. Plus grabe pa gyud ang 'sales talk' sa among agency which was all not true. Grabe ang pasakay. Grrrrr! But I can't do anything about it. Nangyari na ang nangyari. My mom told me to think about it as a lesson learned. She told me to forget about the bad experiences, and treasure the good memories I had with my friends. One friend also told me na unsaon man daw ng money kung d ko happy. Ang money makit-an ra na anytime anywhere. Anyway datu man ko diri sa pinas so I don't give a damn about Dubai. Hahaha. Kidding lang po =p But then, I live a hayahay life here in the Pinas. So i don't think I'm that desperate to sacrifice my happiness for money.

Yes, THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. I now believe in that. Money is not everything. But you also can't live without money. I still have plans of going to other countries in the future. Coz even if I have mana from my family, I still want to earn money on my own. As I said, our mana (gamay man or dako) would only be a fall back. If wala na gyud lain choice. Since I'm still young, I will work really hard to earn money that I can give to my children in the future. D magsalig kung unsa naa imong family coz you'll never know what will happen in the future. Simbako. As of now, I will be staying in the Phils muna. Enjoying everything about Pinas. And cguro by late next year, I will go to another country na naman. God willing.

Ces Toni Mayang Jackie Dale Bong Edgar Veda Totong and other Dubai friends (sorry if wala na nako namention tanan coz mapuno akong blog... Hehehe. You know who you are), don't give up the fight. You're happy man sad diha coz you have your "happiness" (term ni toni... hehehe). Basta kitakits lang gihapon. Text/Call me when you're in the Phils ha =) Miss you all.

By the way, i forgot to mention na becoz of my close friends in Dubai (ones mentioned above...), medyo natiis nako gamay akong life didto. I wouldn't last 9mos if not for them. I love you all.

*** ang drama ko no? si ces man gud ba. hahaha ***
