catastrophic prophecy

Whoever would like to die knowing beforehand that a destructive phenomena will hit us. Well, it seems like people are so scared to die yet brave enough to face the death angels if it’s their time to be fetched for the afterlife -talisaynon especially. Last week, rumors about an impending landslides, tidal wave and flashflood set for March 13, 2006 scampered all-over Talisay City, Cebu that which brought panic to the residents of the city.

The rumor, according to the sunstar daily newspaper, purpotedly was prophecied by an old woman. The monstrous landslide which happened to St.Bernard, Southern Leyte last Feb.17, 2006 was also prophecied by an old woman who went to their parochial church Feb.14, 2006 and told the priest to tell the rural dwellers to leave the place because in three days a catastrophe will hit the area. And, true enough, it happened.


Yet, despite of the rumor, the talisaynon worried about it only for the first day they have heard about it. I didn’t hear any of the city folks talking about it profusely and attempting to pack up their things trying to look for some place to hide the day after the rumor shattered.

Fortunately and conspicuously, nothing ever happened, I can still see the whole city of Talisay standing and my house as well. Kind of funny when I was thinking about it happening. What’s gonna happen to our house and all our things inside? How may people will die? How much of talisay will be left unscarred? But I just prayed it all to God and let His will be done. I guess that’s what all talisaynon did. One fine characteristics I’ve observed from Cebuanos is the prayerfulness, could be the reason why we rarely experience enormous destructions and chaos here in cebu.

Well, it’s definitely God alone who knows what’s gonna happen and when. So, we just have to prepare our body and soul in case the worst will came in. Never cease praying and doing good.

new year’s resolutions

To some making a new year’s resolutions in the middle of january may be late but I believe that it is never too late to change, is it?

Last year, new year’s resolutions was more than a page but this year I’ll try to make it short and achievable.
 

• Zero tardiness
• Zero Absences
• Attend Sunday Masses (complete)
• Pray every waking hours of the day; thanksgiving, forgiveness and blessings.
• Save up: bank, coin bank, and expenses.
• Strive to look my best daily.
• Eat lots of food, drink lots of water and never miss taking Vitamin C.

Here’s hoping that your own resolutions will be followed.

Happy New Year, 2006!

traditional media noche

How do you usually spend your New Year’s Eve?

More or less we celebrate it the same way, I guess!

But let me just share you how my family spends it.

The whole day of december 31st is devoted to the preparation of the "Media Noche". This year we prepared a variety of dishes. Well, actually, every New Year we prepare lots of food on our table so the whole year through will be abundant of food to eat. And only tantamount during Christmas.

This New Year we prepared Crispy Pata, the traditional Hamon de Bola, my favorite Embotido, Macaroni in Italian Sauce garnished with mushroom and tuna flakes, Maja, the delectable Mango Float, the colorful Broken Cathedral, Crabstick Salad, fried Crabstick, Hotdog Cocktail with marshmallows and cheese and Cooked Ham Cocktail with pineapple tidbits and cheese, French Fries in mayo dip. Plus, candies and chocolates….. you know M&Ms, Kisses, etc. Oh, mama Linda also gave us Ube Haleya and Biko.

10 minutes before the 12 midnight we start preparing ourselves and our dinner table. We put all the food on the dinner table, we wear red shirts and rounded accessories, blew party trumpets, displayed some fireworks and made a whole lot of nice.

After that, we dined and had innumerable confabulation. Some are sensical ones others are plain inane conversations. And that’s how we celebrate the New Year’s Eve.

on bells, rings, flowers and I DOs

It’s been a year and a half since I got acquainted with Sherle. I have been her romantic tale gone awry listener of her ex-bf and she’s a lawfully wedded wife to a guy whom she once answered i love you more than a year ago.

I almost late for the pictorial and absolutely late for the ceremony. I brought Cathy to keep me company. The ceremony was held in Guadalupe Church and the reception is just within the vicinity of the church compound.

What feeling could there be being married?
