A Last Look of 2009


This year 2009, ASL was in its version 3.0. This year of my stellar life was extraordinary for me as a casual blogger, as a UP student, as a family man, and as a Christian.

The year of the LORD, two thousand and nine, was an extraordinary year - full of hopes, revelations, inspirations, failures, sorrows and meditations.

Every experience of that year took me a leading that I should move on, never be bothered by these past experiences - for I have faith that in the future... I will succeed.

Here are some random happenings of 2009:
  • I am OFFICIALLY of LEGAL AGE. 
  • ASL took a new transparent look for its version 3.
  • Lord of the Harvest Christian Community was in its Year of Conquest. 
  • My final days of my Second Year in UPMin were inspiring - finding hope in taking Mathematics in a very innovative way.
  • Got the chance to hear prophetic messages from Prophet Roderick Tesalona
  • Did some street evangelism along People's Park together with my fellow leaders.
  • Completed the First and Second levels of the School of Leaders. 
  • My brother Alain Joseph graduated with high honors in Holy Cross of Davao College and planned to study in University of Southeastern Philippines under a government scholarship.
  • Took an elective subject for my 1st Semester of my Junior year - JAP10 (Elementrary Japanese). Had fun learning the basics of the language.
  • ASL had a new URL: www.kennethporio.co.cc, bearing my name.
  • I was connected to a G12 leader six months after the Encounter weekend. I'm happy to have Kuya Alfred Marquez being my leader to guide me in the process. (Maturity issues were the problem why I broke down to the Open Cell level.)
  • I lost a distant relative, and a close friend of my mom, from her battle with diabetes.
  • CNN took a new visual look and feel.
  • PASSED CMSC57!
  • Took my first theatre-acting role in my many years in school.
...and lots and lots more.
    I pray 2010 will be a great new start for me to grow more. The LORD will always be there for me.

    Cheers!

    KENNETH

    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
