To my dear _________________

Am thinking of you. I miss you.

Kisses,

I sat in contemplation today as I watched this video again, and talked to Job, and Albert earlier. How truly...Filipino.

That despite our regional differences, we are all--in the end, FILIPINO.

Albert's ancestral root is in the province of Iloilo, Western Visayas.
Job's ancestral root is in the province of Lucena, Luzon Mainland.
and my humble ancestral root comes from Bohol, Central Visayas.

All three of us represented our provinces in this performances, but all represented the Philippines.

God Bless the Philippines!

Ate Ging, baking a cake?



yummmmy!


To all TUBAG BOHOL, Ate Ging is one of the best cake bakers in the world.

Working on respiratory system reviews.

Oversaw 10 patients today.

Mao bitaw. I know that there is also a Sales family in Valencia. Related man ko sa Salise family b/c my lolo's mother was a Salise. Mrs. Donisia Salise. She married my great grandfather, the late Mr. Ricardo Salvo.

In regards to Tito John, yes we are very close. We always attend their family events and our families host the vigils to the Blessed Santo Nino every Christmas/ January.

His older sister was good friends with my lola, the late Mrs. Fortunata Tan Salvo.

Dear S__________,



Darling, I do enjoy our lunch outings.
I love how you are so direct to me, you share your honest opinion, and do it so respectfully.
We talked to dayas I enjoyed my rainbow trout, and you enjoyed your Spanish Fajita.
I gazed at watched you eat today, and took everything in.
You have a peculiar way of eating, very meticulous.


Thanks for lunch.
Thanks for your company.
To which is worth more than all the jewels in the world.

I am, indeed, crazy for you.


crazy for you

by: Albrando Lorenzo Lucino Jr.


If I could express my love for you,
it would be unfair for my heart would feel my lips and my mouth unworthy to usher forth the purity of love.

If I could sing to you how my heart extolls in joy in seeing you,
it would be to no avail for my voice is not as beautiful and unable to come to par with the ethereal reflection that I feel when I see you, hear you, talk to you, am with you, converse with you, laugh with you, overall~ just being around you.

If I could write you letters, and write I do, it would yet still fall short,
for there no words to describe my feelings, some come close, some fall short, words do no justice.

I I could pick you flowers, roses, daffodils, orchids, for you, still it would be impossible,
for the flowers that I have listed cannot even compare to the beauty and the aroma that you exude from each and every single facet of your entire being, which God Almighty, was glorious in designing and creating.

If I could hold you for the whole night, I would feel ashamed and guilty because I know that when I hold you with my arms and my hands, it is hard for me to let go, to release your body's warmth, to separate our lips from one another.
For your lips are are sweet as the nectars that grow on top of Mount Olympus, as soft as the gentlest breeze on the first morning of spring as the dew of the melting white snow melts, as warm as my beating heart's life blood.

If I could express my Love, my love, I would cry for its beauty and deep countenance and faithfullness is what I share to only the luckiest and worthiest of souls. You are worthy of it. And I give it to you, freely, openly, totally.

If I could sing a praise, I would sing in Glorious Shouts to the Lord, for allowing us to meet~ for His Plan I will trust in.


My darling sweet heart, baby cakes, my sweet escape,..Mahal Kita. Gugma ko nimo. Palangga Ko ikaw. I Love You...

Hi Lady,


7 more days till we are home for winter break.
You know, woman, before I met you, I wanted to get back home all the time, but now that since I've met you, I miss you so much. Distance between you and I in these next two years will be great. I will be in clinical rotations, and you will be still finishing your 2 years of basic sciences.

I want to know that I cannot picture myself with any other woman besides you.

You correct me, you give me constructive criticisms, you teach this Leo to lower his roar into a purr, to remind me to see the ground that I walk, and I love it. I would rather have it come from you than anyone else. Because I cherish you. I do really care for you..deeply.

Study hard and good luck on your finals.

Know that I am praying for you. And thinking about you.


Faithfully Yours,
Albrando

This was recorded the day before our performance. Precious hours and minutes that we have free~ when we are not studying, we incline ourselves to poems, and deep contemplative thoughts.

Spoken Word.
By 3 striving Fil-Am Med Students.

We three shall establish a hospital system in Philippines in the future.
That is our solid plan. To which we hold true and put faith in God's Grace in manifesting.

ENJOY!

ha.ha.ha. mangatawa lang ta ana! Kamusta Calee and Lorenz. Im quite tired doin my research about the migtrant Itas of Bohol. Mingnaug sa ko sa Sawang Loay. Bibo jud ning pulitika ba, bantog kay ingun aku Lolo nga tanan pulitiko parehog hilig, puli-pulig tikas! SOP man jud daw ng naay % sa mga projects labinag mga infrastructure. murag makatuo pud ko ani!

ha ha ha, dili lagi mo tingog ning mga Valencianon especialidad ug smart jamo sila.

Able jud ning Valencianon. Viva Valencia! Viva Santo Nino!

Jun, are you referring to the Palacca family?

Take heed;


The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath.  He takes revenge on all who oppose him and furiously destroys his enemies!  The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.  He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.  The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.  At his command the oceans and rivers dry up, the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wilt.  In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed.  Who can stand before his fierce anger?  Who can survive his burning fury?  His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.  The LORD is good.  When trouble comes, he is a strong refuge.  And he knows everyone who trusts in him.  But he sweeps away his enemies in an overwhelming flood.  He pursues his foes into the darkness of night.   

--Nahum 1:2-8

I should say follow His(Lord) will and accomplish his plan. Daghan ug plano ang Ginoo para sa babae nga sad to say daghan sad babae ing screwed up sa Iyang great plan.

The saying goes, "Put your faith and your trust in the LORD in all things, for He shall direct your paths. In all your ways, acknowledge the LORD, and He shall make your paths straight."

Glorify the Lord and humble yourself before His presence, and for sure He shall glorify you.
However, if one glorifies himself/ herself and does not recognize the Lord, for sure~ the Lord shall humble you.

The Lord Our God is a Jealous God.

Nakahunahuna bitaw pud ko nga perfect ni nga verse sa imong Mommy Lorenzo.

Amen!

Ma'am States, am sure you have a beautiful voice!
Sing for the Lord, ma'am! Your voice is beautiful!


My mom would watch this movie with me when I was but a little boy.
I would watch this till i fell asleep.
Something she would tell me, later on when I was older.

I can remember..when i hear this song, I can remember my mom combing my hair.
Ma tug ko dali.



Beautiful song~

I would vote for her.

he he he interesting. Mo ask jud ko ani.

Calle you know the Salise family eh?

Do you know His Honor Judge Salise?

tinuod man gud pud Dong Lorenz. Usa pud na sa visible charactiristic sa imong lolo kanag dali ra muhatag sa iyang smile ug sa iyang supas sa bata pako. Your Lolo Ciano is well-loved in Valencia. It still vivid in my memory the line that was uttered by one of my old folks when your lolo met an accident: " Ngano gung ang buotan pa may nadisgrasya kadto hinuong_________ ng mautog batasan wa!" He is a good man indeed!

Bay Lorenz advance merry xmass and God bless you and your family!

Sir Jun, tama na, tama na kai na hilak intawn ko ning basa ana. Hilak ko gjud!
Mao lagi, sir, buotan man lagi si Lolo--mao na'ay gi tagaan sija ug daghang years of life sa Ginoo. Ning turn 83 si Lolo itawn this past October. By Grace of God. He is the source of our many calls to Philippines, and is ushered in prayer to the Lord God by his apos.

Naka hinumdum ko sa unang panahon, Sir Jun.

Ning adto ko sa mercado with my Lolo. Gi palitan ko nija ug soda ug shiopao kai na gutom ko.
And naay pood gagmay bata nga ning tangaw nako when i was eating. Naka kita si lolo nija, and I remember seeing my lolo do the most gracious thing.

Lolo took his hand and patted the little boy and asked him, "Doy unsa man imung gusto ikaon, gusto pood ka shiopao?"

Ang bata, na uwaw sija, wa mo tingog.

Gi palitan sija ni lolo ug upat nga shipao gi tagaan pa jud sija ug coke.

Kind hearted kaayo si lolo. bisan pordoy mi, kind hearted si lolo. Mo hatag man sija ug naa'y gamay i pahatag.
Mao na gi tagaan sija ug daghang Grasya sa Ginoo sa Langit.


God Bless you, Jun.
Please extend my regards to you and your family.
From my Family to yours~~Have a Blessed Christmas.
Will think of you when I go back home to NJ to do the vigil for the Santo Nino.


-Bran Lorenzo.

he he he, Prof. Jun, kining politiko, game ra jud ni. Pariho ra jud ni sa chess. Each action naay consequence, mao nay we have to watch our moves and play the pawns before making the strategic strike with the major pieces.

Perhaps, in the future, Maluuy ang Ginoo, one of you two or the two of you can even run for politics in Valencia.

I respect the Lim family, no doubt, but I do not believe that they are Valencia. They are part of Valencia. And am sure Valencia will produce more of its sons and daughters to take the reigns of power in the future.

Jun, you are a professor in college. You and Calle are highly qualified. Calle is an attorney.

Quote from: bugsay on December 11, 2009, 09:14:52 AM
bai Lorenz, ang sakto mao ni:

Ni hao ma?

Ni means You
Hao means Good

In chinese, ang pangutana mo end gyud ug word nga "Ma"

Bai Bugs, salamat sa correction.

@ Mr. Calle, would it be kind enough if we could exchange emails?

lei hao ma = how are you doing

wo hen hao = okay ra ko, lagi.

'Shang was my Lola Nating's Chinese nick name.
Tan ijang apilido. My great grandfather was 100% pure Chinese.
From Guangzhao, China.
And my great grandmother was half chinese half spanish filipina.

I also have a grand uncle, Cecilio Tan, who went to college in China. and stayed there. Never came back to pinas.
He was born in Valencia, Bohol. But stayed in ZHONGUO (China).

Mr. Calle, do you have Lim blood?

Naka hinumdum ko intawn sa ahong Lola Nating ug asawa ni Dr. Guido Lim. Mo ininsik man to sila kalingaw.

Ingoon to sija sa ahong Lola, "Hoy Shang! Lei hao ma"
Ingoon to si Lola nating balik, "Wo hen hao"

hahahaha!

INCHIK GYUD!

Quote from: calle on December 11, 2009, 08:53:12 AM
ako pro-lim pero dili ko buta sa mga nahitabo sa valencia. in fairness sa mga valencianhon ug sa mga lim, daghan man jud nahimo sad mga lim. mercado, munisipyo, elementary and high school buildings, health center, library, badiang, police station, livelihood projects, medical and dental missions, agri devt, water system, etc.


pero pwede man ka mudawat sa kwarta nya di ka mobotar nila. pero ngano nibotar pa man jud mga tawo nila, be??? tungod kay mas misalig ang mga valencianhon sa mga lim kaysa sa mga taga opposition nga manguli rag ting election para magsamuk samuk. maajo untag muoli para nay mga kaalam ug kalamboan nga ikatampo, utro pung mga salawayon ug mga binuhatan ug pagkatawo.

Well said! I have alot of respect for Dr. Guido Lim's side of the family, and that of even Dr. Conching Lim's side.

Best friends man ahong Lola Nating sa asawa ni Dr. Guido Lim. Kai sila man mga Inchik. he he he!

I went to Dr. Guido's house so many times in my youth..very good family. God-Fearing and Honest Family.

Good Seed.

With all due respect, the Lims have done alot and brought alot to Valencia.

Restoration of the church, construction of a new school, provision of health care, building of roads, etc.

One of the finest towns in all of Bohol is Valencia. I may not agree with all of her policies and that of her family's, but I have alot of respect for her and her family's contribution to Valencia.

Peace.

hahaha, but it is true tho. A good leader has both good and bad traits.

Smart jud ka, Mr. Calle. Spontaneous imung post, pero wise kaayo.

Ah, of course, kai Taga Valencia gud.

he he he he

My Mommy and my Ante Beth is a perfect example of this verse.

God-fearing women. Loyal and protective to their husbands and children.

I pray that my wife is the same.

Thank you, Bai Bedo! It was my 18th birthday present that my father bought me. It was a surprise present, as I remember going with him to Vineland Mitsubishi Motors, a Mitsubishi dealership in Southern New Jersey.

I was in my senior year of high school.

My father told me that he wanted to check some truck out; I followed him, and went with him to the dealership.
Then the car salesman talked to him and said, "so is this your son, the lucky guy?"

I was amazed. My dad was smiling. "Yes, this is him."

Then my dad took me to the side and told me that that 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport was "YOURS".
I lit up and smiles and grinned. I could not believe it.

We drove it home. And I have had it ever since.

I used it in high school and used it throughout college. And am using it in medical school. I will probably keep this SUV forever; it is my first car; and it has sentimental value to me. It was my father's gift/ present to me.

~~~~

I promised him that one day I would get him a Mercedes S-500 someday.
He corrected me, "Di ko ana, gusto ko Mercedes GL Series!"

hahahaha!

I love my DAD.

1 Peter 3:1-6


In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands, even those who refuse to accept the Good News. Your godly lives will speak to them better than any words. They will be won overYour beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight . That is the way the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, when she called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.

Proverbs 31: 9-31


The Wife of Noble Character
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
6 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

1 Timothy 3:11
In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything

Titus 2:3-5
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

When ning anhi si Lolo nako sa America in 2003, ning drive ko nija around sa among neighborhood, ning ingoon sija nako, "Doy pa testing'a ko sa imung truck be', kai na mingaw ko mo drive sa truck naho."

Ingoon ko nija, "Ooo gud! Pero, 'Lo, di man ka maka drive na kai na stroke man ka, 'Lo."

Ingoon gajud sija nako, "Okay lang 'doy kai automatic bitaw imung truck"

nakakatawa mi duha intawn. We both laughed so hard. Kini si Lolo Ciano uy..bogol-bogolon jud sija. Jokester kaayo! hahahaha.

Now that I know how to drive standard, I do plan in refixing my Lolo's truck someday. I will its engine refurbished, the gears cleaned, and new tires installed. It shall be re-colored to its original mane.

"SALVO LINES"

I'll buy 4 or 5 more trucks like it pohon.

Salvo Lines will be back in business, by God's Grace.

he he he. cute saying, Calle.

Okay ra man na, Mr. Daray. Economical and logical man ning imung gi utilize and strategize, smart jud ka kaayo, sir.
New or used, okay ra man so long as trustwothy atong sakyanan and and gets use from point A to point B. And runs well...okay ra na uy!

God Bless, sir!

Mr. Daray, The Isuzu Trooper is very reliable and sound. Perfect bitaw na kaayo sa Pilipinas.

Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Honda, Toyota are all good Japanese brands.

Two sides of the coin lagi, bro. It is a gas guzzler, pero, the benefits is that it is friendly and perfect for a big family, and provides safety for people who drive alot--or in areas where it snows alot. Good investment, imho.

My parents drive a Toyota Seqouia as the family car. It is a gas guzzler, but provides excellent protection for the family. It's a V8, its also 4 wheel drive if necessary, pero safe.

You do get what you pay for.

Bro...simple is always best, as the saying goes.

There was a time last year when I was so busy studying for our final exams in 1st year medicine that I did not even have enough time to cook food..mo kaon lang ko sa gawas kai medyo busy. And I always wore my green GAP Sandals. Then one time as I was walking to class to Pharmacology...my sandal strap broke because it literally was thinned out. LoL!

My professor saw this happen as he walked in the classroom and chuckled at me, "Dr. Lucino, I think you might need to replace  your footwear."

nakakatawa pood ko intawn.

And I sometimes bike to campus..so i biked back to my apartment with one sandal on my feet. ha ha ha!

Accumulated in 3 years? Thats alot, Raquel. Well then again you do live in the farming region of the United States. The vast expanse of land~ Okay pa man nang 80k mileage. If you want to trade it in, I highly recommend you get a large SUV. The new Toyota Sequoia, or the Cadillac Escalade is something I highly recommend. Family-oriented, safe, large, and good looking, too! he he he!

Spain's Military Forces that were stationed in the Philippines did go through an interesting change of styles.

During the 18th century, when the level of Hispanization of the Philippines was in full scale, the the uniforms worn by the Alcade Mayores and the Military Ruling Class consisted of the following:

Note that the Spaniards even wore their traditional "whig" attire and full coat even when they were in the heat-steaming jungles of the Philippines.


Royal Spanish Officer's Uniform.
Royal Attire.


Infantry Attire.


Spanish Royal Dragoons.

Quote from: Gino on October 07, 2009, 04:44:21 PM
Hi!  Would you know the color of the Spanish officers' uniforms of this period (Phil-American War)?  Some suspect that it was light gray.  Earlier paintings show navy blue and red.

The Spanish Officer's Uniform during the Spanish-American War/ Spanish-Philippine Revolutionary War of Independence was standard light blue. With stripes on the leggings.

Here is a Spanish reinactor dressed in the uniform of the Royal Spanish Infantrymen during the 'Dos Guerras De Espana' (The 2 Spanish Wars) / referring to Spain's defeat to both the United States and the Philippine Forces.

The following were the Spanish Cavalry Uniforms during the war:
The colors have not changed.

Lorenzo, 130K miles is not much especially for a Japanese car. Believed ko sa mga Japanese cars, mulontad sila ug dugay...

Yea man, I know my Mitsubishi will last a long time. My dad still drives his 1996 Toyota 4 Runner to work; it has over 300k miles in it. Runs like new.

Im hoping that my Moterosport lasts until I finish residency. And maybe I can get / treat myself to a new luxury sedan or luxury SUV.

Am looking at The Mercedes E-Class or the Range Rover SUV.
Still looking tho~

he he

My baby~ She still runs really good. Im going to keep her indefinately; my first car.


My gas guzzler~
he he he

How much miles do you have in yours, Raquel?

My baby has about 130k in her. She still is wild, crazy, stable, and a hungry beast.
I get about 21 mpg wen i drive in the highway; about 17-18 mpg when I drive in the city.

Romans 3:23, "For All have fallen from the Glory of God."

Everyone sins, everyone has blasphemed before the Lord. Everyone is imperfect before the Perfect Eyes of Divine Providence. All we can do is to treat others with respect.

In regards to Fr. Skelton, he continues to be in our prayers.

Christ Jesus strengthen all of us to show and manifest good and moral Christian Virtues.

Piano Instrumental of Jason Mraz' song : 'Lucky'




Lucky - Jason Mraz - Piano - Stereo

Edelweiss


Memories of my childhood are rushing into my mind right now~
Beautiful song.

One of my favorite songs when I was a child.
I would listen to this song, and watch the movie over and over again.
"The Sound of Music"

Edelweiss - Sound of Music - Piano

My favorite song of all time~

The Scientist  by: Cold Play


I love this song because it is so deep and personally meaningful for me.
Sauvignon Blanc is best with this song.

Just take it in...~
Beautiful...

The Scientist - Coldplay - Piano

I love to listen to the instrumental versions of popular songs.

The piano, acoustic or quartet versions.

I can sit for hours in silent contemplation listening to instrumental versions..with my glass of Chenin Blanc or Shiraz~

Take it all in.

Lorraine wants to go into Obstetrics/ Gynecology  and/or Pediatrics.

Just from knowing her all 22 years, and from observing her care for her brothers, her friends, working in her lab, and her dedicated studies, she will, indeed, be a good physician.

She is loving, compassionate, open minded, lovable, direct, STERN, conservative, family oriented, forgiving, not quick to judge, beautiful, Religious and Faithful to God, and motivated/ directed in her studies.

As my only baby sister, I will continue to watch over her and guide and direct her during her studies in medicine. As we both have plans in opening a medical center together someday. A Lucino Medical System. By God's Divine Grace.~

With her personal choosings, I trust that she will be as discerning and selective in whoever she chooses to be her lover/partner. And she knows that her Kuya will not accept anyone that is unworthy of her. Only the best for she deserves nothing BUT the Best.

Her humility speaks when silence overwhelms.
Her intelligence is testament to our blood line.
Her beauty is product of Valencia and the blood line of Salvo, Salise, Tan and Lucino.
She is loved and cherished by her family.
And Justified in her Savior Lord~ JESUS CHRIST who is LORD.


Lorraine, keep your eyes on the goal.
You can do anything and All Things through Jesus Christ who Strengthens You.



LOVE,
KUYA

OneRepublic/Timbaland - Apologize (piano acoustic) on iTunes

I shall put this on the floor for anyone to answer, a question was asked, "What are the things that the Lord hates and specifically detests, and what are the ways for us to receive redemption to save us from being thrown into hell because of it?"

Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 
~Psalms 104:2-5

When one is studying PDI and Medical Cardiology. And she studying Gross Anatomy.

She asks, "So what does the heart do?"

I respond, "Oh its responsible for saying, ~ I Love You~ "

The Love of Jesus Christ is Glorified and Pure for it overflows~


My Love, my darling woman.
I want you to know that I am truly, deeply, utterly, in Love with you.
I have accepted these feelings totally.
I have thought about it~ that it is so for you are the source of this man's thoughts and inspirations as of late.
Is it normal for a man to think about spending life with you?
Is it normal for daydreaming how our children would look like~?
And how beautiful and Intelligent and Gorgeous would our children be...~ And I have come to a conclusion.

I have courted you, my darling.
And my eyes are set on you, and no other.

I shall wait for you, as you should wait for me~ for I shall wait for you, you know that.
I shall cross the seas for you.
I want to be the one to protect you, care for you, be there for you.
Forever more. Until life's last blood separates us.

You are deep..your soul is deep..as that of mine.
I call you. You and no other.
I long for you. You and no other.




Words cannot even come close to describing your lover's feelings and thoughts,
Albrando~

It is a beautiful sun-filled Thursday Morning, may the Lord Jesus Christ be Praised.
I praise Him for this beautiful day, I praise Him for the strength He bestows upon me,
I praise Him for the enlightened heart that I have in concerning you and studies,
for the Lord Jesus Christ is Kind to me, gracious to me, and faithful to me.

I praise Him for the kindness that you have shown to me,
when I was feeling down, for you being able to caress my face with your fingers,
for our many outings and our many dates~ laughing, and growing deeper into one another,
for the many sunsets that we have seen together~
for the privileged and gift in seeing you sleep~ and being able to protect you in your most precious of moments.
Praise to the King The Eternal Father God, Praise to the Risen and Resurrected Son Jesus Christ, Praise to the Most Holy Spirit Who proceeds from the Father and the Son Jesus Christ. Holy And Exalted In Heaven and throughout All Creation!

The Lord is my sanctified and glorified salvation,
Who strengthens me with His Righteous Right Hand,
He who upholds me against the snares of enemies and pronounces me Victorious against them.
I shall Glorify Him for He blesses me and pours my cup and it overfloweth,
And I shall Wait on the Lord's Continued Graces in Blessings of Life and Love, for He is my Cup and Bread.

I pray that the Good Lord continue to watch over us, my Love, that His Blessings are fulfilled to those who asketh~
I pray that the Faithful Lord Jesus Christ continue to empower you with words of wisdom, with a mind that continues to strive in the path of knowledge, which comes from the Goodness of the Lord, with a mind that seeks and longs to work in righteousness, and with the faith to move mountains set before you. I bless  you, my Love, My darling Stacy.
I bless you with the Blessings that I have recieved from the Risen Eternal Lord JESUS CHRIST. That your days are long, your paths are straight,  your nights are short, your body is strong, your heart is strong, your faith empowered, and to love continually and to love fully. May our love grow together in the direction of the Lord Our God.
Who is the cement of our Love.


This I ask and Beg, I beg and Pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, who is The Risen Eternal Lord.
Jesus Is Lord! Salvation on High! Hallelujah! Hosanna in the Highest!
Glory, Honor, Praise, and Eternal Majesty be to the LORD GOD KING the Father God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit.


In Jesus' Name.
Amen.

My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being
whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.


I Love You,
Albrando Lorenzo.

Brad, you must have faith that the LORD has a beautiful and promising plan for YOU!
Yes, you! Yes, everyone who calls on the NAME of THE LORD OUR GOD!

HE WHO IS WORTHY OF THE ONLY GLORY, THE ONLY PRAISE, THE ONLY HONOR, THE ONLY MAJESTY!

Look unto HIM who is YOUR RIGHTEOUS STRENGTH and UNTOUCHABLE JUSTIFICATION..who will strengthen you and GLORIFY you...in your daily doings.


Lamentations 3:22-24
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."

Proverbs 6:12-19,

‘A naughty person, a wicked person, walks with a bad mouth. The person winks with the eyes, and speaks with the feet, and teaches with the  fingers; wickedness is in the heart, they devise mischief, and spread discord. Therefore shall their calamity come suddenly; suddenly they shall be broken without remedy. For these six things the LORD hates; yes, seven are an abomination unto God: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood; a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are fast to run into mischief; a false witness that speaks lies, and they that spread discord among people.’

Proverbs 6:12-19,

‘A naughty person, a wicked person, walks with a bad mouth. The person winks with the eyes, and speaks with the feet, and teaches with the  fingers; wickedness is in the heart, they devise mischief, and spread discord. Therefore shall their calamity come suddenly; suddenly they shall be broken without remedy. For these six things the LORD hates; yes, seven are an abomination unto God: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood; a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are fast to run into mischief; a false witness that speaks lies, and they that spread discord among people.’

 Brad, I am praying that you find your love and the woman who you adore so ardently. For sure the Lord's faithfullness shall be made manifest to your searching and yearning soul.

Glorify Him, that He shall glorify you in Christ Jesus!

Great Video, Mr. Bedo!

I just got back from dropping mahal off her place, after helping her do laundry. Aish..women! hahahaha.
I don't know..why but i become very baby-babyish when i am with her. I get all affectionate and really baby-babyish that it is even too extreme. I used to criticize men who would say to their partner, "hi baby...baby i love you..baby do you need me to carry your books? etc etc" now it is i who am in that predicament. Ha ha ha.

But you know? I don't care. for mahal, anything..~

newayz, so she's home..and now i just got back from grocery shopping. I shall probably cook chicken liver tonight. And finish up some more reviews.

Aish...i feel like a husband doing errands. LOL!

ngekz to the max!

I have 2 xgfs who are in their Graduate Neuroscience Schools, who still keep in contact with me.
Had you told me you were there, you could have met up with them.

Ann Arbor is a nice city, not so busy and dangerous like Detroit.

There are alot of Filipinos in Ann Arbor.

 Beloved woman,

I miss you. I just saw you an hour ago. But I am missing you all the more.

Know that I am caressing you and embracing you in my mind.

My kisses are yours. My love is yours. All that I am, is yours.



I adore you,
Albrando Lorenzo

Sa Amiga nga hanginan,


Thank you so much for your heart-felt letter. And message.
Pa puwa man ta aning message nimo, da.
Ajaw na, kai maka hilak pood ni. Kahibawo ka sensitibo ko in regards to these kinds of things.


For you, know that I am praying for you always. I beg the heart of Jesus Christ to continue to watch over you day and night, to guide your steps, your doings and your thinkings. I wish all the best for you, in body, in mind, in spirit, and in soul.

And to your family, I wish and pray for continued health and prosperity, by the Grace of Jesus Christ who is Lord.

Happy Holiday Season.

Always,
Your Friend,
Dong Lorenz.

Lord, the hardest thing you asked
Was that we love our enemies. (Matthew 5:44)

We know how we'd like to love them:
We'd love our enemies to be far away.
We'd love them not to compromise our security.
We'd love them not to scare us or change the way we live.
We'd love them to be lovable.

You know, God,
We'd love it to be popular to love enemies.
We'd love our neighbors to respect us for this good deed.
We'd love the people on the news to provide examples of how to love.

But then, if loving enemies were easy,
Jesus wouldn't have told us about the tax collectors and gentiles,
Who love only their friends. (Matthew 5:46-47)
If loving enemies were easy, we know
We wouldn't need God's strong arms to bear us up in difficult times.
We wouldn't need the blood of Christ to save us from human sin.
We wouldn't need the Spirit flowing among us, wiping our tears.
We wouldn't need the Bible to tell us what the world does not.

God of all mercy,
Who loved us when we were your sinful enemies, (Romans 5:8 )
Who saved us through your immeasurable grace,
Who gave us a gift we did not deserve,
Let us imitate you by loving those who are yet our enemies. (Ephesians 2:1-22)

Teach us to know how to love enemies,
To wish them the best of the life you intend each human to have,
And then pray and act so those wishes come true.
Teach us hope, so we know that with your blessing, impossible dreams become reality.
Teach us faith, so we know that only the strength to stop hating will halt the cycles of violence and revenge.
Teach us forgiveness, which we know is suffering love through piercing tears.
Teach us, O Lord, your ways.

When our community looks at our congregation,
Hears our words and sees our deeds,
Help them to know that you, the God of love, live among us
And that they can come to us to learn about Christian love of enemies.

A Prayer for One's Enemies - by St Nicolai of Zica


Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not
curse them.
Enemies have driven me into Thy embrace more
than friends have.
Friends have bound me to earth, enemies have
loosed me from earth and have demolished all my
aspirations in the world.
Enemies have made me a stranger in worldly
realms and an extraneous inhabitant of the world.
Just as a hunted animal finds safer shelter than an
unhunted animal does, so have I, persecuted by
enemies, found the safest sanctuary, having
ensconced myself beneath Thy tabernacle, where
neither friends nor enemies can slay my soul.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not
curse them.
They, rather than I, have confessed my sins
before the world.
They have punished me, whenever I have
hesitated to punish myself.
They have tormented me, whenever I have tried to
flee torments.
They have scolded me, whenever I have flattered
myself They have spat upon me, whenever I have
filled myself with arrogance.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not
curse them.
- 2 -
Whenever I have made myself wise, they have
called me foolish.
Whenever I have made myself mighty, they have
mocked me as though I were a dwarf.
Whenever I have wanted to lead people, they
have shoved me into the background.
Whenever I have rushed to enrich myself, they
have prevented me with an iron hand.
Whenever I thought that I would sleep peacefully,
they have wakened me from sleep.
Whenever I have tried to build a home for a long
and tranquil life,they have demolished it and
driven me out.
Truly, enemies have cut me loose from the world
and have stretched out my hands to the hem of
Thy garment.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not
curse them.
Bless them and multiply them; multiply them and
make them even more bitterly against me:
so that my fleeing to Thee may have no return;
so that all hope in men may be scattered like
cobwebs;
so that absolute serenity may begin to reign in my
soul;
- 3 -
so that my heart may become the grave of my two
evil twins: arrogance and anger;
so that I might amass all my treasure in heaven;
ah, so that I may for once be freed from self
deception, which has entangled me in the dreadful
web of illusory life.
Enemies have taught me to know what hardly anyone
knows, that a person has no enemies in the world except
himself.
One hates his enemies only when he fails to realize that they
are not enemies, but cruel friends.
It is truly difficult for me to say who has done me more good
and who has done me more evil in the world: friends or
enemies.
Therefore bless, O Lord, both my friends and my enemies.
A slave curses enemies, for he does not understand.
But a son blesses them, for he understands. For a son
knows that his enemies cannot touch his life. Therefore he
freely steps among them and prays to God for them.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not
curse them.
Amen

To Concepcion,

I want to wish you a blessed and happy Birthday! I pray that all your dreams, aspirations, and wishes come true this year and in later years. I pray that you and your family are in good health, peace of mind, and sound body. Best of luck in everything. God Bless!

Warm regards,
Bran

This is what I would say to foreigners wanting to travel to Philippines:

"Go visit the provinces, outside of the cities, have to visit Bohol and Cebu. Don't be afraid to ride the Jeepneys and the pedicabs! If you visit Visayas say to the beautiful women, "Hoy kamusta man ka, gwapitang baji!" he he he!
The Filipino people are one of the nicest, warmest, and accepting people in the world! Have a great time! Enjoy! And dont forget to take pictures~!"
