Back Again...

Dear friends,

It's another two days here in UP Mindanao. It's back to school again last January 3, in line with the public elementary and high schools in the country. (UP is also a public school...kuno...) I wonder why this "hang-over" during the long Christmas season got unto us Filipinos every after the end. (And Epiphany or the so-called "Three Kings", the official end of the long Christmas season here, is yet to be this Sunday, January 6!) Most of the kids didn't attend school that day, maybe not of this case in UPMin... (*sigh*)

Anyway, this is what happened during the first 3-1/2 days of the New Year:
  • We went to Panabo and Carmen, our parents' home towns to pay a visit to our relatives - our grandparents, our uncles and aunts and our cousins. (I missed them so much.) We had a salu-salo, talked to our cousins and had fun making a home video of us in with my paternal grandparents. :-)
  • My paternal uncle , his wife and one of my cousins (who were with us in Panabo) slept over our house in preparation of their flight to Cebu, where they work now. They also taught us on how to make sushi, which they made during our salu-salo. (Yum, yum!) :-d
  • I went back to UP Min only to know that our CMSC subjects have no meetings for that 2 days... :-/
  • On our MATH26, we were introduced to the best source of beginning "epistaxis" ("nosebleed") when learning Calculus...LIMITS!!! lol X-D
  • Prof. Jose Jowel Canuday finally had our first SSP1/HIST1 meeting with us today. What I heard about him from other people, was quite wrong. His teaching style made me more excited to learn Philippine History. His approach to us made me think that he isn't bad after all. Maybe SSP2/HIST2 (Asia and the World) with Sir Val Clamonte was quite monotonous (no offense to him), but that experience last sem make me think of more creative ideas here in SSP1...or it might be again a "Prof. Anton Siaotong-like" case? :-S
  • I'm currently in ILC/LRC, doing counter duty. :-)
Well, that's about it for this time. See you next time!

Cheerio!

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Image
Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
