My story happened in 1971. Niadtong panahona, bag-o pa lang nag sugod ang gera gera sa Mindanao. Muslim vs. Christian. At that time, 3rd yr. ko sa civil eng.g. sa University of Bohol. Nahitabo nga nang recruit ang Phil. Army sa ROTC. Para ibala sa Mindanao. Jolo and Palawan. Gi laay ko sa ahong eskwela kay lagi boloktorian man, daghan ko ug hagbong sa mga subjects sa civil eng.g. Mao to nga naka hunahuna ko nga mo join na lang sa Phil. Army. Mi enlist ko. Nag training mi diha ra sa Tagbilaran. Ang among CO si Calimbayan. Nakalimot na man ko sa ijang first name. Ricardo man tingali to. Ang training officer namo was a Tagalog. Lt. Grio. Kining sundawo ta dali ra maka attract ug chicks. Si Geesnel Lim, of the well known Lim family of Tagbilaran mo adto pod sa stadium. Motanaw namo mag training. Kay naka sight man sija ni Lt. Grio. Pagka gwapa ni Geesnel. Kalami na lang unta ipanguyab. Pero kotob ra intawon ko sa tanaw. Tulo laway. Ang ang man ug mo entra ka. Tenyente ang kontra.

Mo dalikyat ko ug uli sa Maribojoc kay duol ra man. Naka fatigue ug takin sa garand. Pagka hawod ni Balonglong. hihihi. Barog barog dajon sa eskina. Pa view sa mga chicks. Kay sundawo lagi konohay. Sailor, soldier, salesman. Mao ni mga attractive sa chicks. I have been all three. Anhi ta mo concentrate sa pagka sundawo kay ug e apil pa naho ang sailor ug salesman. Di na ta mahuman. Adto ko mag istambayan sa ilang Dodong Hugo nga balay. Pa atbang sa tindahan ni Nang Lilang Campos. Naa man gud sijay duha ka gwapang dalaga, Si Espie ug si Lita. Nanguyab ko ni Espie. Pero wa jud ko ka dama. Very poor pa man mi sauna. Unja ahong kontra nanguyab ni Espie, si Al Barcinas, rich ug gwapo man. So no effect ahong pag unporme uniporme, takin sa garand.  Wa jud mo lingi si Espie naho.

Miabot ang panahon nga nahuman mi ug training. Deploy na mi sa Palawan. Sa ahong hunahuna, basin pa ug magka uban mi ni Bokatch. Kay dugay ra man nga nag sundawo si Bokatch. Pilay pad ug maka join ko sa ilang unit. Swerte jud tingali, nag kauban ra mi si Bokatch. Sugod na sa gera gera. Permero nahong engkwentro, naka igo ko ug usa. Katawa ko ug doro. Ingon ani man diay ning gera. Mora ra pod ta ug nag duwa duwa ba.

nag tanaw2 ko sa FB, nakita naho ang video ni fr. jingboy saco, parish priest of maribojoc. nag basketball clinic sila si fr. saco ug ang ahong amigo si dodong bangalao, coach sa UB juniors. lingaw ko nga nag tanaw sa video sa mga bata nag clinic sa bbol. so i decided to come home for a vacation. to join the fun. sunod tuig pa unta ko mo uli. october man mahuman ang clinic. timing pod kaajo nga bag-o lang mi nahalinan ug juta. kabilin sa mga grandparents. mahal man ang juta sa lapulapu city mao nga ang halin P30 milyon. pero tungod kay daghan man ming igagaw mag bahin, P1 milyon ray ahong bahin. i told myself, kini, mag pesta na pod sa basketbolan. ipangora ni nahong P1 milyon sa audience nga mo tanaw sa ahong bbol game. i have this strange compulsion of giving money away. sa dihang wa pa matumpag ang maribojoc church sa earthquake, nangora ko ug $1 ug P20 gikan sa kampanaryo. pero tungod kay wa na may kampanaryo, sa basketbolan na lang ko mangora. last time i did this was 2 yrs. ago when i vacationed. gidala naho ang mga barkada from cebu city gi pa duwa against maribojoc selection. pildi ang cebu by 1 shot. pagka human sa duwa nangora na pod ko ug $1 bills. tongtong sa stage. hihihi. mo angay ko ug bibo inig uli naho. pamawi ba kay labihang mingawa ko dinhi sa states. 20 na ko ka tuig ga pojo dinhi sa among neighborhood in poinciana, florida, wa gani ko kaila sa mga ngan sa mga silingan. nawong ra. ug magkita just say hi. sa ato kaila tanang silingan. thats the difference. so pamawi lang ning aho when i come home. pa bibo sa ensakto. its my way of recharging myself

sa bag-o pang nag sugod ang kagubot sa Mindanao, kasagarang mga armas sa mga moklo, [that's how we soldiers called our muslim opponents], russian made. Like kalashnikov rifles

 

As I have said kining gera mora ra ug duwa duwa. Dili ba sa gagmay pa tang bata, mag gera gera man ta. Naa tay ginama nga posil posil. Dili man tanang higayon gera. Naa mau usahay mag attempt pod ug peace talks. Singgitan mi sa mga moklo, "dili mi mahadlok anang injong armalite. Plastic man na. Which was true. Pero hadlok sila ug garand. My preffered arms was a garand rifle. Kay mag imagine ko nga sniper konohay ko, expert marksman and sIYOTer. Pero sa tinood lang, in real life, perte nahong banga-a.


"In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised." - General George S. Patton, Jr

Dili man hadlok ning gera, ilabi na kong dunay operation, you are on the offensive. Daghan man mo, naa pay mga back up nga tanks

                  ADIOS  AMIGOS

from The FREEMAN, a Cebu newspaper
July 12, 2013

I got a text message from the Villavicencio family that their father, whom we fondly know as Brother Stanley Villavicencio, Cebu's modern day Lazarus, passed away yesterday dawn. I have known Bro. Stanley for a long time as he was a very amiable employee at the Mactan International Airport (MCIA) as he was a civilian employed by the Aviation Security Command (AVESCOM).

But in March 1993, there was a dramatic event that changed his life when he coughed blood and was rushed to the Chong Hua Hospital. There he continued vomiting blood until his heartbeat slowed down and he was declared brain dead. The family could not believe what happened to him and kept him in the hospital and prepared for his burial three days later. Then Bro. Stanley woke up as if he had no medical problem. It was then that he revealed that he met face-to-face with our Lord Jesus Christ who came as the Divine Mercy. Since then he became Cebu's Apostle for the Divine Mercy.

I remember one time that Bro. Stanley approached me if I had "friends" at the US Embassy as he was invited to be interviewed at the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). Since he had 13 children and no means of livelihood, he could not pass the visa requirements. However, I told Bro. Stanley I had no contacts with the US Embassy. Of course as the long story goes, he was denied his request for a US visa.

But Bro. Stanley's faith was so strong in his faith and he told me that if our Lord Jesus Christ wished him to be in the US, this would happen. Soon after the denial of his visa, when EWTN learned of this, they called up their Senator, a famous man, Sen. Richard Lugar requesting him to allow Bro. Stanley to the US. Right there, Bro. Stanley got a phone call from Sen. Lugar telling him to go back to the US Embassy for his visa. Soon enough, Bro. Stanley was in the US giving talks about what happen to him and why he has spent the rest of his life in the service of the Divine Mercy.

I have since attended most of the Divine Mercy Convention at the University of Cebu (UC) Campus near SRP and last May 4 was the 18th Divine Mercy Convention, but unfortunately, Bro. Stanley went there only for a short while as he was too ill to stay there long enough. I didn't realize that this would be his last year.

Now Bro. Stanley is gone to the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. If he died 20 years ago, I'm sure that only his family would remember him. But the Lord granted him 20 more years in the service of the Divine Mercy and now we can count on Bro. Stanley to be our intercessor in heaven and I count myself as lucky to have known Bro. Stanley. His remains is in his home in Mambaling and burial is slated to be on July 21. May we request our pious readers to please pray for the repose of his soul.

Stanley Villavicencio is a married layperson with 13 children, and a living witness to the miraculous power of Divine Mercy. He is not an ordained priest or deacon, thus most people simply choose to call him "Brother Stanley".

In 1993 Stanly was found in bed bleeding profusely from the mouth by one of his family members. He was rushed to the hospital.  After a tremendous loss of blood Stanley went into a deep coma and soon after was declared clinically dead. His family refused the hospital to place him in the morgue.  They did, however, order his coffin and made arrangements for his funeral. Suddenly after 3 days, he woke up at 8AM in perfect health!

While he lay ‘dead’ Stanley says he spoke with Jesus. As he died, the first image he saw was the image of Christ as the Divine Mercy. Stanley reviewed his life 3 times as Jesus watched, seeing all the good things he had done and all his sins too.  Jesus asked him if he was willing to go back to His people and preach the message of Divine Mercy to a world in dire need of mercy.  Stanley said "yes" and awoke immediately - his health fully restored.

Since 1993 he has spoken nearly 7000 times in his efforts to evangelize - all over the world. At the canonization of St. Faustina in Rome in the year 2000 Stanley gave his testimony to 36 Cardinals, 38 bishops, and many priests.

Many healings have come during the veneration of the Divine Mercy  image Stanley takes with him everywhere he goes. The veneration comes at the end of Stanley’s presentation.

Stanley   Villaviciencio

This is the true story of Stanley Villaviciencio, a devotee of Divine Mercy, who died and was brought back to life thru a miracle of Divine Mercy.

On the morning of March 3, 1993, Stanley Villavicencio's mother-in-law discovered Stanley moaning and shivering violently in his bed with blood spouting from his mouth. A relative, who is a registered nurse, was called but failed to find a pulse. Already his heart beat had come to a near halt and his eyes had turned white. He was rushed to Chung Wah Hospital where he was immediately placed in intensive care. His family was told by medical experts that he only had a one-in-a-million chance of survival. His organs had failed and when doctors attempted a blood transfusion they found that the blood was so thick it was unable to circulate around his body. His wife duly phoned home and arranged for his burial in the family plot. Four of his relatives, who are doctors, were asked for permission to turn off the life support machine, but they refused. Although family members kept a bed side vigil praying at his side, all hope had been given up of a recovery. During the three days of coma it had been established that he was clinically dead, but as he was to reveal later he was very much alive.

The Gospels tell us that Jesus was born in cave or stable in Bethlehem “because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2.7) There, our Lord â€" God made man â€" was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. What a blessed place!

The Church has always held this place in high esteem, which is why at the beginning of the fourth century a small chapel was built around it so that everyone could visit it.

Unfortunately, this chapel was destroyed in a revolt in the 6th century. Soon after, though, when a period of peace reigned, the Emperor Justinian ordered that the chapel be rebuilt, but now much larger â€" it would be a basilica! It is precisely this basilica that continues to this day.

maka uyab kaha si mr. balonglong tikongkong ug high school student. hahaha. hihihihi. kining high school student apo na ni naho. kong kwentahon ang edad. ang ahong mga talirongan naa nay mga apo. naa na gani anak sa apo. ako wala pay apo kay late na man ko nag minjo. nalingaw man ko ug soroy soroy sa tibook kalibots in my bygone days as a sheman. sorry for the wrong spelling nga gi tujo. i was a seaman for a long time. started as an apprentice marine engr. with altamar shipping. then i became an oiler or motorman with united philippine lines. ug karon na tiguwang na, wa gihapon ma tagbaw sa nagka lain laing baje, katsila, hapon, insik, indonesian, russian ug uban pa. hangol gihapon sa baje. pasaylo-a ko ninjo dear readers, unsaon nga mo tindog pa man gihapon si manoy, mag flag ceremony pa man sa sayong ka buntagon. mao nga kanunay lang gihapon mangita ug K. unja na jud tingali ko mo undang ug pamaje kong dili na mo otog ang ots. i'm still 65 years young, ladies and gentlemen of the republic of tubagbohol.

Celebration Town

Downtown Market Street

Bank of America building, downtown Celebration

Celebration Town Center

It's impossible not to have a good time in a place called Celebration.

Originally developed by the Walt Disney Company, the master of happy places, Celebration offers the best of small-town America-with a modern twist.

Celebration boasts charming homes, lush, green parks and a relaxing lakefront en route to a block of independently owned boutiques and gift shops. As you stroll through the quaint village, Celebration's close-knit, friendly community will welcome you warmly.

Some of the country's best architects designed Celebration's community buildings, Welcome Center and more than 2,500 homes. Try the walking tour, available online or at the visitor's center, to learn about different buildings throughout downtown. Bustling Market Street's stucco buildings, verandas and arcades call to mind the breezy Caribbean. Clusters of columns give the stately, Philip Johnson-designed Town Hall a postmodern feel, while the Googie cinema has the Jetsons-style architecture of the 1950s.

Colonial, Folk Victorian and Mediterranean-style homes blend together along Celebration's residential streets to create walkable postcards that you'll remember for years.

When you've worked up an appetite, grab a bite at one of Celebration's diverse eateries. Local favorite Columbia Restaurant serves an extensive selection of Spanish and Cuban dishes. They'll even mix a carafe of sangria or toss a famous "1905 Salad" right at your table. Dine al fresco at Celebration Town Tavern, a New England-style fare that's great for happy hour cocktails, a burger in front of the big game or a weekend family outing. Other parts of the world come to Celebration via Café D'Antonio's fresh Italian fare, Ari Sushi's Japanese sushi and Hibachi, and Thai Thani's fresh spring rolls and spicy curry.

Or, pick your own snack. Celebration shows off its bounty every Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (9 a.m. to 12 p.m. during the summer months) at the neighborhood farmers market. Vendors all along Market Street display produce, plants and baked goods for your shopping and snacking pleasure.

Browse fancy clothes, toys, jewelry and other trinkets in Celebration's boutiques. Soft as a Grape sells modern fashion for men, women and kids. Women of all ages will delight in Enchanted Boutique's stylish designs and fragrant perfumes. Animal lovers will love a visit to Woof Gang Bakery to pick up treats for their pets. Children are sure to make a beeline to Once Upon a Time for fun clothing and accessories. The grown-ups can find something sparkly for their sweetheart at Market Street Gallery.

As the name indicates, this town likes to celebrate. The community comes together to enjoy special events that delight adults and kids alike.

Three weekends a year, the Art & Wine Stroll transforms Celebration Town Center into an open-air gallery. With a glass of wine in hand, guests can browse watercolors, oil paintings, charcoal sketches, ceramics and more. Any other weekend, individually peruse Celebration's many art galleries.

In April, auto enthusiasts cruise to Celebration's Exotic Car Festival to ogle vintage vehicles, racecars and Hollywood movie cars, all lined up along the lakefront promenade. Exotic car drivers can give their auto a workout during the Exotic Car Rally.

Fourth of July features a fireworks show, live music, activities for kids and an unforgettable tribute to our nation's veterans-this is a can't-miss event.

Despite year-round warm weather, Celebration sees a white Christmas every day of December during Celebration Town Center's Now Snowing Event. Listen to live music, take photos with Santa and ice skate while the "snow" falls. See more special events happening during your visit.

During your stay in Kissimmee, be sure to include a visit to one of Florida's picture-perfect communities. Book Celebration accommodations for local and Disney vacations. And request a free destination magazine to get all the information you need.

Visit Celebration to experience its small-town charm. Stay to enjoy the good life.

The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'll never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

                                                   

                                      Merry  CHRISTmas

                                       

                                                GOD BLESS US ALL

Ali Baba, a poor woodcutter was in the forest when he saw forty thieves stop in front of a cave.
The leader said “Open Sesame!” and before Ali Baba’s amazed eyes the sealed mouth of the cave magically opened and the men disappeared inside. To come out and close the entrance, the leader said “Close Sesame” and the cave sealed itself once more. Trembling with excitement Ali Baba waited till the thieves had left and then entered the cave after saying the magic words. To his delight he found lots of treasure.
Ali Baba told his brother Kasim about the wondrous cave. Kasim set off to get some treasure for himself too. Sadly, he forgot the words to leave the cave and the thieves killed him. Ali Baba discovered his brother’s body in the cave. With the help of a slave girl called Morgiana, he was able to take Kasim’s body back home and bury it.
Realising that someone else knew about their cave the thieves tracked Ali Baba down. The leader, disguised as an oil seller stayed with Ali Baba. He had brought along mules loaded with forty oil jars containing the other thieves. Clever Morgiana knew who the oil seller really was and poured boiling oil into the jars killing the other thieves. While dancing in front of the leader of the thieves Morgiana stabbed him. Ali Baba was saved and lived happily ever after.

sa bata pa ko, naka basa ko sa estorya nga ali baba and the 40 thieves where the cave w/ the treasures will open when the leader of the 40 thieves will say open sesame. wa jud to naho kalimti. and now that i am old, ahong gi kopya ning poltahan sa langob by installing a gate to my farm which opens electronically by remote control. money can make your fantasies come true. i spent more than $5000 for this gate. so now i bid you dear reader to enter my farm and see its treasures. hihihi. mga chickens, karnero, saging, kamunggay ug uban pa. duwa duwa lang god ni kay ug balansehon jud, walay abot ni nga farm. dili mo kaon ang mga bata sa mga manok kay malooy sila. mao nga ipang hatag lang sa mga silingan

Niklas Zennstrom

LONDON â€" Niklas Zennström, Skype's cofounder and former CEO, is backing a company building car-sized aircraft in Germany through his venture capital firm Atomico.

Lilium Aviation, a two-year-old Munich startup, received â,¬10 million (£8.4 million) on Monday from Atomico and other investors to help it develop the personal electric planes that are capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL).

Founded by four entrepreneurs in 2014, Lilium envisages building a quiet, lightweight commuter aircraft that will be capable of flying between cities at a height of 3,000m. It is gearing up to test its first full-sized prototype early next year.

With an expected range of 300km and estimated top speed of up to 300km/h, the Lilium Jet is aiming to make inter-city travel, faster than any widely available mass transit system. San Francisco to Palo Alto would take less than 15 minutes, while Munich to Frankfurt would take just over an hour.

"This is a really good example of founders who are using deep technology to take on a very big problem," said Zennström, who has joined the board of the company, at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference. "The way we deal with transportation today is broken. There are congestions and to get from East London to West London takes forever. There is pollution in our cities with carbon dioxide so we get climate change.

"Of course you have electrical vehicles and autonomous vehicles to deal with some of those things but really to solve it in a big way we think you need to take to the skies."

Atomico, which was set up in 2006 and has raised over $600 million (£472 million) to invest in startups, also backed Lilium in a smaller undisclosed round in June. Lilium said it intends to use the new money to expand its existing team of 35 aviation specialists and product engineers.

Other companies are also building personal planes but they're going about it in a different way. "Others are taking the concept of a drone and making it really big," said Zennström. "The problem with a drone is the propellers have to create lift all the time so it’s going to use a lot of electricity. But Lilium, they’re just using thrust to get it up and then it transitions to flight mode with the wings using much less energy. About the same as an electrical car. It's extremely energy efficient."

Lilium claims that its aircraft â€" powered by 36 directable electric fans, mounted along the wings and front pods â€" will be quieter than helicopters and other competitors, while also requiring less infrastructure.

Lilium CEO Daniel Wiegand said in a statement: "When we founded Lilium we had a single, simple goal â€" to design the best possible means of transportation for the 21st century. With our technology we can triple the radius of people’s lives while preserving our environment, avoiding congestion and eliminating the cost of infrastructure. We can also flexibly connect whole states to single metropolitan areas.

"A personal vertical take-off and landing aircraft has been the dream of generations. It is the ultimate means of transportation. Together with Atomico we share the vision to make this dream come true for everybody, in the form of the VTOL Lilium Jet."

nahuman na ang ahong nobela nga how i made a million dollars. unja nag said goodbye na ko. kay ma uwaw na ko nga mag sigi ug pamotbot dinhi sa atong website. kay basin naay maka basa nga taga maribojoc, maka ingon nga daghana diay ug kwarta ni si mr. balonglong tikongkong. naa unjay maka hunahuna nga ipa kidnap ko ug ipa ransom. wala na ra ba ang ahong protector nga si bokatch. sa tinood lang, baho pa ko sa tae, way nahot bisan pa ug BSN ahong profession Binuhi Sa Nurse. anyway, i promised to post pictures of my farm. kay kini gong kwarta numero lang ni kong dili nimo gamiton. actually, diha koy gamay nga ganansya when i sold JAZZ company. nag withdraw ko ug $200,000 from my ganansya. gi palit naho ug farm para makita naho ang kwarta. i bought the farm for $145,000. the rest of the money i spent for happyness. you know how it is. pang beerhouse. pang k sa mga dancers kay bisan tiguwang na ko nanimaho nang menteryo, mo ots pa man gihapon ang oTEN.

This brings us to mind the case of congressman Jalosjos, who did not resign in the wake of a rape charge involving a minor.

hihihi. congressman mang rape. dios mio. ug ako maoy congressman, i can have all the chicks i want pinaagi sa pag pangulitaw. dili sa pag pang logos.

bahin usab sa kaso ni delilah de lima, dugay na unta nang mi resign kong nia pa sa states nang hitabo-a. ang sayop ni senadora, taas kaajo sija ug pride. makig bangga ug presidente.
if i were digong, i will do everything in my power nga ma preso ni si de lima para naay sampol ba. nga tinod-anay jud ning ijang war on drugs. dili man hinoon ma dali dali ni kay everything has to go thru the rule of law.

kanunay kong gi criticize sa maribojoc nga wa koy alamag, hambogero ko kay wa naho ma papreso ahong bata bata nga si pepe cifra when he absconded my $40,0000 or 2 milyon pesos. kay pila ka tuig mi labay usa mahuman ang kaso ni pepe. na sentensyahan sija ug 15 years imprisonment plus kinhangan mo bayad pa ug P200,000. mi appeal. dagan na pod ug pila ka tuig. karon na pildi gihapon sa appeal. so the last time i went home for a vacation. ahong gi bisita si pepe. ahong gihatagan ug tip. gi ingnan naho nga gi pa laygay naho ug tujo sa ahong abogado para di sija ma preso. actually poniton na sija aron presohon. naka panimaho si pepe. mi layas. tua na kono sa mindanao.

bahala na ug pila ka tuig , ahong gi ampo nga ma preso ni si de lima. dili maka layas.

                                     

May our LORD Jesus Christ, GOD bless us all

                                                 ADIOS  AMIGOS

ang estorya mahimong ma kuha-an, mahimong dugangan. but basically, this is a true stoty. and i want to thank my children, ian and regina for giving me the inspiration to write this story. HOW I MADE A MILLION DOLLARS. as i have said, making money is a skill which can be learned. if you put your mind to it, you can make as much money as you want. for it is our birthright. we were meant to live a life of abundance

and most of all, i want to thank GOD for giving me everything i ever wanted

anti marcos man jud ko. apil pa ko sa edsa revolution. pero subay sa balaod, angay man pod ilobong si marcos sa libingan nga mga bayani kay presidente gud sija. unja sundalo pod.

But to many, as one strongman buries another, the Philippines appears to be moving backward, not forward.

ang mga class nga tawo pareha ni hubag bohol dili mo angay ni digong. ako usa ka common tao. approve ko sa gihimo ni duterte. it will take a strong man to fight the drug problem. in my own little way, kanunay ko mang hatag ug premyo para sa sports sa among lungsod sa maribojoc. the JESUS ANQUILERO Chess Tournament is held every year. maayo na lang naay kalingawan ang mga bata. even if it is a losing fight, daghan na kaajong adis sa maribojoc, sigihon gihapon naho ang ahong gi sugdan. as long as i am alive, mo gasto ko para sa sports sa maribojoc.

i dont think you'll ever know
how hard it is
to be able to forgive you
but when BOKATCH died, all thoughts of revenge
left my mind.
whoever you are, i forgive you for calling me a fool
but it is not for you to judge me even if what
you say is true
