Touched
It has been ages since I shed tears during a mass. And it was because of personal concerns.
This morning before the final blessing, I was touched once again.In the spirit of Bible week, the priest emphasized the importance of living the Word of God instead of just preaching about it. Before he ended the mass, he spontaneously called a woman he saw earlier.
He said, “Yung nanay na may karga na anak na malaki ang ulo, punta po kayo dito sa harapan.”
It took some time before the mother realized that she was the one the priest was referring to.
The child has hydrocephalous if I’m not mistaken. The mother has been literally and figuratively carrying his son for 11 years. Again, the celebrant reminded the mass goers about putting God’s words into actions and he said that now is a chance to do it.
How I was deeply touched? That instant, God reminded me how blessed I am to have a very healthy family especially a very healthy daughter. That was when I started to feel my dormant tear ducts become active once again. From that moment on, I couldn’t stop my tears from falling, even while I was walking to the grocery under the heat of the sun. Even when I was riding a trike back to my dorm, my throat was aching for trying to avoid weeping. Finally I’m now able to burst my heart out as I write this reflection. I also realized that the mother and his son was blessed too. Though not with ample finances and normal health, they are blessed with the power to touch and inspire.
Most of us have endless complains about our own lives. Sometimes we forget that there are people in this world who carry heavier burdens than we do.
I think our lives would feel much better if we know how to be contented and if we learn how to appreciate whatever we have. And it will be so heavenly if we learn how to share what little we have without expecting anything in return but the Joy of Giving.
Salamat Lord for this amazing chance to feel Your awesome love once again. Thank You for all the blessings, especially for giving me a wonderful family.
I love You po!

Filipinos are certainly getting into mainstream America and into the world. With an estimated 4 million Filipino-American population (as of 2007), Filipinos are an emerging group in a diverse society in the United States.
Filipino talents like Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda, Lea Salonga, and Monique Lhuiller are doing a great job pitching in!
David Letterman, apparently used Filipino-Americans in one of his skits.
Here’s the recap:
Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn’t Be a Filipino-American US President
By David Letterman
10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended relatives.
9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda Civics,
2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a BMW , and
an MPV (My Pinoy Van).
8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at State dinners.
7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House – where will they put
the picture of the Last Supper?
6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant wooden
spoon and fork.
5. Secret Service staff won’t respond to “psst… psst” or “hoy.hoyhoy!”
4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of the Santo Nino on the dashboard.
3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every room in the White House.
2. State dinners do not allow “Take Home”.
AND THE NUMBER 1 REASON WHY THERE COULDN’T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S. PRESIDENT IS…
1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

UP Naming Mahal Hymn
U.P. naming mahal, pamantasang hirang
Ang tinig namin, sana’y inyong dinggin
Malayong lupain, amin mang marating
Di rin magbabago ang damdamin
Di rin magbabago ang damdamin.
Luntian at pula, Sagisag magpakailanman
Ating pagdiwang, bulwagan ng dangal
Humayo’t itanghal, giting at tapang
Mabuhay ang pag-asa ng bayan
Mabuhay ang pag-asa ng bayan

UP made you in such a way that when the people of the world are sitting, you would be standing, and when the world is standing, you’ll stand out. And when the world stands out, you’ll be outstanding.
