My 26th Birthday

It's timely that I get to celebrate on June 14 my 26th birthday, with the launch of my website (June 12, Philippine Independence Day). I do want to thank all my friends for these years. You have pretty much shaped my thoughts and ideas with every interaction and experience.

If you have a PLDT landline anywhere in and you want to get to personally talk to me, you can also leave your number with area code in the comments. Don't worry I will not show it to the public. Just tell me what day and time of the week your are free. Don't worry, because my PLDT NDD is for free!

I also want to thank my family for their support and understanding, I couldn't have done it without all of you: Mom, dad and my sister.

Finally, I would want to thank the Lord for giving me the reason to fulfill my dreams, because He has given each one of us our dreams and passions in our lives.

I would appreciate it if you place your greetings in the comments section it will make me happy because this website is essentially the extension of who I am.

God Bless!

Chances are good that I'll see you next year.

I will always remember the three-panda family...

Dearest Jon,

Birthday mo na pla? You always have this "subtle" way of making people notice you. Hehehe.

Anyway, Happy Birthday! For all your adventures in life and other sociological inquiries (hehehe) my IM & email is always open for you... All the best!!!

Getting Noticed

Submitted by admin on June 13, 2007 - 9:52pm.

It seems that I lack attention. Attention Deficit Syndrome

Subtle, this is definitely subtle. My workmate told me that the next level of getting noticed is by advertising my site in the television.

The three panda bear family... oh ok... I'm papa bear but you're not mama bear... Then you're the big daughter bear :D

The sociological inquiries... that was really funny.

Thanks Sophie!

Hi Jonathan,

Congratulations on your website. Happy 26th Birthday. We were extremely busy and just came back from an Alaskan Cruise and a wedding in the Vancouver Island. Also renovating the house which kept us from social activities. Best of Luck to you.

Tita Bubut & Tito Sonny

I'm Glad that Your Email is Active

Submitted by admin on June 13, 2007 - 10:01pm.

I was once telling a story and I started with, "When I was young". He replied that I'm still young.

Finally,

may God give you the desires of your heart soon

I don't think that the word soon is included in the Bible verse. That's what you want. Of course I would agree with that too.

Well, well, well. It's 10pm of the last day of my 25th year.

I got no greetings since 3pm.

I do hope it is the calm before the storm...

Comple año contigo

Submitted by Julius Caesar on June 16, 2007 - 10:20am.

Kuya, am i late? you bet I am. But it's better too late than never.hehe.Thanks for inviting me here. Ang ganda ng site mo kasing ganda ng puso mo! as they say our works shows who we really are inside...mgkbuwanan pla tau kuya..

anyways, here's my message for you:

this very day, when i look back at my life, it seems that it was just like yesterday that i was born. and look who i am now...physically,mentally,spiritually, emotionally.. matured and still maturing and becoming the person i ought to be. how true,how true, life is like 'a wisp of smoke', 'a vapor in the air.' and in the very near future i would again look back at my life and still would say that life is too short to just live here on earth. that reminder moved me on how i would decide wheather to make the right decisions and choices and to take the right actions or to make the wrong ones. it's a choice and inevitably we suffer its consequences.

This moved me to choose life rather than death, to be very careful about my life, to not sin against my God.As the scripture say(if i remember it right),'live your life not as careless or worthless as the pagans do but live it with wisdom..and in the fear of the Lord'. our life now no matter how we see it is the product of our own choices and decisions in the past (Not always but 90% of it maybe)..Contemplating on this, God has offered us a choice to walk through. He let us choose between the NARROW PATH leading to the NARROW GATE or the Broad way that leads to death. that's why, sometimes, i thought that the christian life is the hardest life ever live (though that depends on our perspective). but again its our choice to look and enjoy the good things that God has so freely given us. if you want to choose the broadway, you don't have to make things hard for you, just waddle out your life without much thought and love the things of the world and there you are.

that's why my prayer for you is that God would shower you His GRACE eternal for you to be always be found wherever and whenever he calls you!God bless you!!! keep it up!

Kuya, huwag k lng pong mkklimut ha, khit wla taung pinagsamhan n mttawg..pahingi rn ng blessings...hehehe, jok lng.

That was a mouthful...

Submitted by admin on June 16, 2007 - 5:56pm.

Everyone needs God's grace in life, but it takes our effort to give our all, to push ourselves to the limit, to receive its full potency. That means we strive to fulfill our dreams and goals and take it to the next level. This site is one of the dreams that has been fulfilled, and I want it to go where I thought it would not.

The stories and insights I share would be the blessings I want to share in the world wide web.

Thanks Edison, for dropping by my world!
