Stress...

We all encounter stress in our daily life in work, relationship, home, with relatives (who does not?) etc. Some can cope with it some needs to have professional help. The dictionary define STRESS as:

Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action.

Work of a dentist is a very stressful job, not to mention body fatigue and wrong posture of the body because certain procedure that you need to move slow and precise movement of the hand and fingers or else delicate surrounding of the mouth can do catastrophic injury of the gums, lips and tongue. But still nothing beats when you just think of the workload or patients name that you see in your appointment book that you need to do for that day...whooosh stress it is.But still need to work and do right thing to take good care of your patients as expected.

Chinese Friends...

Nag-aaral ako sa La Salle . Ang dami kong kaklaseng Intsik. Apelyidong Uy, Lim, Tan, Co, Go, Chua, Chi, Sy, Wy, at kung anu-ano pa. Pero sa kanilang lahat kay Gilbert Go ako naging malapit. Mayaman si Gilbert kaya mangyari pa, madalas siya ang taya sa tuwing gigimik ang barkada. Isang araw na-ospital ang kanyang ama. Sinamahan ko siya sa pagdalaw. Nasa ICU na noon ang kanyang ama dahil sa stroke. Naron din ang ilan sa kanyang malalapit na kamag-anak. Nag-usap sila. Intsik ang kanilang usapan.... hindi ko maintindihan. Pagkatapos ng ilang minutong usap-usap, nagkayayaan nang umuwi. Maiwan daw muna ako at pakibantayan ang kanyang ama habang inihahatid nya ang kanyang mga kamag-anak palabas ng ospital. Lumipat ako sa gawing kaliwa ng kama ng kanyang ama para ilapag ang mga iniwan nilang mga gamit na kakailanganin ng magbabantay sa ospital. Nang akmang ilalapag ko na ay biglang nangisay ang matanda. Hinahabol nya ang kanyang hininga... Kinuyom nya ang kanyang palad at paulit-ulit siyang nagsalita ng wikang intsik na hindi ko maintindihan "Di ta guae yong khee"..... "Di ta guae yong khee"... "Di ta guae yong khee".. paulit-ulit nya itong binigkas bago siya malagutan ng hininga. Pagbalik ni Gilbert ay patay na ang kanyang ama. Ikinagulat nya ang pangyayari ngunit marahil ay tanggap na rin nya na papanaw na ang kanyang ama. Walang tinig na namutawi sa kanyang bibig. Ngunit iyon na yata ang pinakamasidhing pagluha na nasaksihan ko. Nagpa-alam muna ako, dahil siguradong magdadatingin uli ang kanyang mga kamag-anak. Sumakay ako ng taksi pauwi. Habang nasa taksi.. tinawagan ko ang iba pa naming kabarkada. Una kong tinawagan si Noel Chua. Dahil marunong si Noel mag-intsik, tinanong ko muna kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng "Di ta guae yong khee". "Huwag mong apakan ang oxygen. "... "Bakit? saan mo ba narinig 'yan?".

Parish Renewal Experience

Its been a year has past when I join the Parish Renewal Experience Seminar. It was conducted by the Cathedral Shrine of the Good Shepherd Parish in Fairview Quezon City Headed by the Grand Old Man of PREX Kuya Rene Isidoro with Kuya Joe & Ate Mila Galinato, Kuya Primo Domingo and others (there are many kuya's and Ate's who help on that seminar) and off course it was Fr Gigi who is at the helm of our Parish Church the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Church in Morning Breeze Caloocan City.

This seminar has a very deep impact in my spiritual life, although I have attend CFC, ME and other seminars but the PREX stands alone as the guiding factor in serving the Lord. It teaches me the the very basic relationship with God and the relationship with others. It teaches also who are the people that is very important in your life.....ooopppps I may have over described the ins and outs of PREX which I may be censored by our elders hehehehe...Anyways, since then me and my wife are very busy now with PREX seminars, we are now the one conducting the seminars in our parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Morning Breeze as Chair couple of PREX Secretariat.

As our trainer are very good in teaching us, led by Ate mila, Kuya Joe & Kuya Primo, we our now doing our own PREX Outreach in Sto Nino de Congresso in Deparo Caloocan City. Before, me and my wife and Kuya Ces are members of the CSGS outreach team. We have conducted our talk to Loag Ilocos Norte, San Fernando Pampanga and different parishes here in Metro manila. We have met people in different places who are very warm in accepting us. I'm very happy that I'm serving my parish especially the LORD. I have found what is missing in my life as a Catholic! Glory to God!

Christmas...

Years ago when I was a little boy, every christmas is a big big big thing for us with my siblings, for the whole year we waited for this day...every christmas we received gifts thru my father from the company that he works which is Carnation Philippines then...close shop na yata sila. I remember then I usually received educational toys which is made from wood (Palo Tsina) sort of like a puzzle and some animal and you will be the one to make and form it . My brother Bong usually received action figures like the COMBAT TV series then and my sisters some girlie stuff dolls etc. I wish I can travel thru time and be a little boy again.....

Macau- a different kind of trip!

This was the first time that I went out of the country. It was also the first time that we have the same FREE schedule (me, cris, patrick, patricia & phillippe). It also took awhile to go out of the country because my wife is so busy in here professional organization & church activity. But the trip is worth it. We are so happy together & and we really have a good time in macau.

We have visited the different Casinos & Hotels MGM, The Venetian, Grand Lisboa, Winns and many more.

I'm back....

Its been a while since my last post in this blog.....been very busy with my work, church & family. I only use my computer when I have to check my email & surf a little on the net when I need to research something. I hope I can continue this and maybe I'll have plenty of time to spare to continue posting in this blog.
