Fundraising Time Again

Remember in Grade school when our teacher used to ask us to donate or have fundraising campaign? We have to sell cookies, chocolates and nutribuns. Actually I used to compete with my teachers in selling candies, ube yam and pastillas. She's not mad at me for the competition but then she usually called me for recitation. Good that I know the answer every time she calls me. Lagi akong handa. Girl scout kasi ako. lol. Yung nutribuns noon talaga mabenta yun dahil very nutritious ang content besides that it is really big. It's the size of a bowl and worth only 20 centavos. Then it increased its price to 25 centavos which is really not bad. What my classmates used to have with it inside is not butter but ice cream from mamang sorbetero. Or sometimes we bought pancit and have them inside the nutribun. Dahil sa malaki ang nutribun, half of this bread I brought at home for my snack with pop of course. Pop cola is not costly that time. I would rather have Coca cola or Pepsi but when I don't have enough money (baon) then I considered cosmos or pop cola for soft drinks.

Ano ba kasing fundraising na mas favor sa lahat? I know parents complained about such hassles. As if the schools cannot provide. Unlike other government agencies, unlike other countries. But for every fundraising there is always a different goal and purpose. Sometimes they said it's for the good of all students and their families. Which is true if you are an officer of the club. But know what? When I was in elementary although we have parent-teacher association with their officers: from president to secretary, treasurer, PRO,  and members still is what matters is the Class President (student) of every class room is the one taking charge of everything that's the role of the president of the class. They know their roles, their task and they don't need for their parents to be bothered about the event in their school unless of course if there are so much issues that they cannot solve. This is also true in High School. Yeah especially in High School when I was enrolled in private school. The difference in public and private is simply too many un-similarities.

Sometimes I think we have to open up some eyes of the new teachers and students by watching TV shows that reflect school activities such as: Saved By The Bell, Ned's Declassified, iCarly, etc. Anyway they know what to do I think all they need is a REMINDER! Just like medical practitioners reminding their doctors on the value of retailing medical products.

FUNDRAISING: Are we all gonna be doing fundraising? I think it's okay if the allowed amount is really affordable. The spare coins and bills.

How many can you sell? How many pot of POINSETTIAS can you sell and how many points you can get? Not bad really to sell poinsettia. Their plant variety is superb for Christmas. Poinsettia  is the best
fundraising at the school.

But how about the recycling of empty bottles and empty cans? Isn't that a money-making source of fund?

Or try this TRIVIA:  COINCIDENCE or ESP?

Drop COINS inside the bottle provided for if you believe in COINCIDENCE.

Drop $5.00 bill inside the bottle provided for if you believe in ESP

Would that be fun?

WHO we need to believe?

I just couldn't believe that someone, somebody out there got hold of my novella. Why would someone steal my story? Grabe naman! If you really like my novella why don't you just buy them? You don't need to steal every story that I wrote? How could you do this? I hope and wish you wont get the sleep that you need. Sobra na! Don't you have a mind of your own? Wala ka ng delicadeza. Isa pa itong blogger doon sa iang site who keeps everyone obey her to keep on writing. Why? are you gonna pay them for their job? I don't know I think what we are doing here is a lost cause. But we keep doing it anyway because we are wired to write. It's in our veins, in our blood that we must write and post.It's like the only work or task assigned to us.

As if we are the members of the BEE COLONY. Each bee has the ability and capability to do the work assignment and has to fulfill the goal no matter what. The same kind of being here in front of the computer and we are like hyper doer of the action. And in a bee colony, there is one and only queen, too many soldiers, too many workers, there are few selected princesses to assumed the royal bee colony. There are bees who are looking for food (nectar from flowers)  for the whole colony and selected bees making honey inside the beehive. Each one has the task to do it seriously and without a doubt that each one is obedient and knowledgeable. It's for the whole clan of bees anyway. It's for their own survival. Human beings are in the same way has that bee colony reflection. You think only insects and lowest form of animals knew the way? You as a human being know that as well. The web of life. How to survive in the economic slump brought on the many adversity, calamity, from the problems arising in different countries can someday lead us paralyzed once the top ten well developed countries failed to do their assigned task of helping the poor countries. But then the problem lies in the fact that it's the US and other developed countries who are experiencing the economic problem. What we have to do is let these politicians tell the truth now before it's too late. If you are repeating the same kind of economic and political structure and infrastructure then what to be afraid of? We need people defending the truth not people defending the lies.

Ganito Iyan...Ipaliliwanag Ko Sa Inyo

QUESTIONing the authorities including the Mayor and the Priest and they will also tell you they have no means, ability meron but capability to act as superman is not their lingo. I asked one priest about how they can cope up with today's calamity...here are his answers. Very honest siya.

As a new priest with only few churchgoers he as a priest end up paying for the rent or mortgage of the Church. He pays for the hydro bills and electricity including miscellaneous. With only few churchgoers with no capability to do the maintenance of the church, with no helper doing the cleaning, gardening and lawn care he end up doing all the custodial work. When you end up looking after and caring for a medium sized church and the other priest left with too many bills and debts the new priest is responsible for the payment of the bills. What's the worse thing? The priest has to pay the rent for being there. For living in the church dedicated to the priest and its churchgoers, the priest need to pay for being there! Ha?! Imagine that eh? Who wants to become a priest nowadays?

Nuong panahon ng kastila ang mga nagpapari ay may alay sa Panginoon. Ang mga nakakapag- pari ay mula sa angkan ng mga mayayaman. Kasi ang pinipili noon ay bukod sa matalino na ay kailangan pa ay mayaman. Bakit mayaman? Kasi po para makatulong sila sa kapwa nila. Sila lang kasi ang can afford to donate gifts to the Church. You may ask what kind of gifts they have to donate. First, at least 5 acres of their family land + aside from cash donation. Yung mga pari ang unang mga scholars. Mga gardeners sila, magaling gumawa ng cheese, wine, beer, at iba pang processed meat gaya ng sausages, spaghetti, oo magaling silang  cook . Carpenters and architect din sila.That's why if you'll see the images of the old churches talaga namang ang gaganda di ba? Kasi kung asa abuloy lang ng mga  churchgoers na mamera lang hindi gaganda ang mga simbahan. Pero may mga tao na kung mag- abuloy ay palihim lang. Yung iba kaban ng ginto ang dala. Wow! Tutuo ba yun? The story is real! NOON. Bakit kasi pinapaganda ang simbahan noon? Kasi bukod na yan ang simbahan na bahay ng Diyos, yan ang place of worship at lighthouse. Sa simbahan lagi ang puntahan ng mga taong nasalanta ng giyera, bagyo at baha. Ang simbahan ang may pinakamataas na puesto sa lupa. Yan ang mountain nila. Pag nagpunta ka sa simbahan tiyak safe and secured ka. Kumbaga yan ang tinatawag na fortress dahil na rin sa pagkagawa sa kanyang haligi na ubod ng tibay. Gawa sa bato, semento at matitibay na materyales. Sa panahon ngayon na wala ng nagsisimba, napansin nyo ba na kokonti na lang ang simbahan na may maganda at matibay na pundasyon? O meron paring nakatayong simbahan yun ay mga simbahan na pilit na trying to withstand the test of time and calamity despite of its cruel critic.

Ang pag solve sa calamity ay binigyan-diin noon pang unang panahon. Every year talaga there are about more than ten storms that will affect the whole archipelago. Taon-taon po yan. Para ba namang hindi kayo taga Pilipinas pag hindi nyo alam ang patakaran. Di na kayo natuto. Kami noon simula nung bagyong Yoling na pinakamalakas na bagyo bago magMartial law ay natuto kaming sumunod sa mga patakaran at solusyon just to keep us alive. Unang una ay ang preparation. Always be prepared! Kailangan lagi kang handa. The will to survive. You always have the instinct to keep your family safe from harm. Paulit-ulit na may baha, may bagyo...NATURAL na sakuna at kalamidad yan sa bansang Pilipinas. Ay naku ayaw ko nang mang-inis ng mga tao na matigas ang mga ulo at hindi sumusunod. Sa tutuo lang mayayaman naman yang mga taong yan doon sa lugar na nabahaan kaya bakit ba di na natuto yang mga yan. OO na ayaw nilang iwanan ang bahay nila dahil maraming mangloloko. Tama tutuo yan. They wont leave their house dahil baka pag balik nila sa lugar iba na ang nakatira. Ganun nung panahon ng Hapon. Hind baha ang kalaban. Sinunog ang mga bahay dahil nagkagiyera kaya yung mga tao nagsitakbuhan papuntang bundok. Pagbalik nila wala na silang bahay. Wala na silang ari-arian. Sometimes we cannot blame these group of people why they have to guard their homes even if the calamity is treacherous. Kung baha at typhoon ang enemy sa town nyo dapat mayroon kayong mataas na lugar or building where you can have the people inside the building until the flood subside. Parang "lighthouse" and let the guards or barangay tanod look after the houses that were left behind. At saka meron naman kayong town mayor and councilmen nasan na ba sila? Have a ration of life vest and boats. Dapat bawat pamilya merong isang boat. Ganun dito sa Canada almost every family here has one boat to use just in case. Living in an island, small island the survival skills is a must and everyone should learn it. The more heightened places where alertness should be given should have mandatory instruction of evacuation and signals to make and proceed. Aba ewan ko ba kung marunong makinig ang iba dyan. Yun na nga po marami talagang matigas ang ulo then ibang tao pa ang sisihin nila sa kanilang mistake. Hmm...bakit kaya ganun? paki-esplika nga.

P.S. Type nyo bang magalit sa akin dahil sa sinulat ko? O napag-isip isip nyo na mali pala kayo? Sige na nga tama kayo palagi kaya ayan lagi kayong may kalamidad. Nasan na ba ang mga pari sa lugar nyo? Pag walang mayor yung parish priest ang dapat konsultahin sa mga happenings sa lugar nyo.

Anong help ang type nyo from us? Naku nilalason na nga kami dito dahil madumi na ang tubig dahil sa mga basura nyo. Minsan lasang ihi ang tubig. Grabe na. Yung kape lasang tabako at minsan parang may droppings ng animals. Yikkkeessss!

Movies? It's more like Real Story!

The story below is just another short story that I want people to know but the worse kind of bad news happened during the time of the Marcos regime when almost everyone have no food to eat because of over population, famine and drought in India and other third world countries. Locust multiplied in millions in Africa and water almost everywhere are polluted. It was in the 70's when the Americans decided they have to join the Marcoses at the M. Palace. They have no choice. While typhoons after another ravaged the very foundation of the government in the Philippines. Prices of commodity climbed up to unbearable prices. Cost of gasoline is super high. The demand of supply is high but supply is very low and cannot be found.The rice granary had no more staple food in production we end up eating ground corn and sweet potatoes instead. China cannot supply staple food because they were no longer the source of agricultural products they were going highly industrial nation. They concentrated on skyscrapers. Pres. Marcos that time implemented so many projects so that the Filipinos wont go hungry. One of them is the Green Revolution project. He asked many land owners to distribute empty land without crops to their neighbors  can help cultivate and till them for agricultural purposes. What the neighbors did? They sold the lots given to them. They don't want to be come farmers. They sold the land  and move to Manila. End up stranded in a city where money is God. That's the usual story. Need I explain? Until too many squatters populated the area and they blamed the Marcos family and crony for their sad fate. What's next? They polluted the river, the bank of the river they dumped the waste there and it becomes a barrier the water cannot move anymore and flood upon flood ravaged the area. Don't blame the guy who made a difference and who made the country a better place. the Philippines was already a developing country not a third world country until some people destroyed the plan...and they will blame the man who is the benefactor of wealth? Where is your conscience? Yes he is a dictator. What is wrong with that? He is a man who just like Jodie Foster in the movie CONTACT accepted the Milgram experiment and inflicted the hurt and pain so that he can have the billion dollars budget for our country. It's for the whole Filipinos for the whole country. But what happened after that? You have inflicted so much damage when  another hero is proclaimed. Who are the traitors of Philippines? Would that validate the true story of what happened?

HERO the movie.

I think every 100 years the world needs a hero. True hero and saviour. The very first was Jesus Christ and he suffered through all the testing. He live or resurrected after that. But who can be reborn after being dead? Einstein? Hitler? Lazaro? Marcos?

Okay let's not be so serious here. Or it might end up as RESIDENT EVIL. Resurrected. Or Crouching TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON part 2.

FACTS OF LIFE? PLs. pay goods with cash or cheque. NO BARTER please! Barter is something that we cannot depend upon. You pay textile with fish when it's easy to sell fish than textile. Paying vegetables to your dentist is not right. Paying a cow for your carpentry work is not right either. A country gave you a shipload of wheat and you pay us with loads of shoes when nobody buys shoes here is really such a sad sad fate of commercialism. When you exchange shipload of logs and you paid it with shipload of  clothes when people here would like to buy old used clothes from thrift shop is such a very bad idea. That's why barter is discouraged. When movie stars are paid with ten brand new cars instead of cash money. What that celebrity has to pay for his income tax? Unless of course if the can sell the cars right? Like  a carpenter was paid with ten fish from a day's work what will you pay for a month's rent to a house? When you cannot sell the fish unless if you are a fisherman? How to make things right when the government and laws are the problem?

Have you noticed too many celebrities getting skinny and so thin as if they are all bones already? My God they looked like skeletons! That's very alarming!! Are they not eating anymore? Too much stress and pressures? It seems to me that not only celebrities are becoming malnourished but people from the third world countries. I think there are so many food to eat, there are so much land where they can plant their crops whether just on small pots and or let those plants hanging from the air. In this generation when there are food banks available who will get hungry? FREE FOOD already!!!

Right nobody will get hungry but some people preferred not to eat because of what they experienced. It's not about practicing  abstinence on food but they 'd rather not eat because of what the content of those food. for them those food are poisonous! It is bad for their health. Taking too much of those kind of food might harm their body parts and organs. Too many people afflicted with ailments such as: cancer, diabetes, people on dialysis, people sick of kidney ailment, those who have hepatitis, people with heart ailments, and many other malady that if left uncontrolled death is inevitable.

What is wrong with the food that we eat? What is wrong with the water, juice and drink we used to eat and drink normally and naturally? Is there something we have to know?

Lately, I found my coffee, my favourite coffee is no longer the same coffee. The taste of that coffee is awfully shockingly different. It's like it's burning my tongue. What is wrong? I smelled it and it has something so peculiar in it. It is coffee but it has the smell of tobacco ingredients in it. What the hell is that? We dumped that coffee can already filled with those granules. We bought a new brand even if its expensive than the other brand. Same thing. The result is yucky! It's not coffee!!!!!!! Who the F is trying to poison us?  The worst thing that happened is you or me will eventually have encountered buying fake coffee from the supermarket with ingredients of rust metal. And that's totally f-----! The government should take charge of this anomaly. I don't know if you feel the same way when there are people who are so twisted and criminally insane doing such manipulation tampering on good products. The point is we BOUGHT our coffee. It's not free. We pay what we use and eat at home. So why some heartless without conscience will do that nasty things?

Then later while I was watching news on TV, two courageous American women were on research investigation visiting supermarket and even small grocery stores to find out the product defect and low quality maintenance being implemented on products that they were eyeing on. Yes they found so many disturbing and troubling indications that some products are tampered and needed some kind of labeling to a highest degree.

Another documentary was coffee beans been dried outside on a mat and well you'll never know what animals droppings in there. With mice and monkeys and creepy crawlies around what is the sanitation being implemented? Urine and droppings from mice just on certain specific items without you caring for the products safety and security will lead to bubonic plague. It is scary out there. The terrifying ordeal of being sick and poisoned is such a shocking situation and not to eat is even greater devastating effect of malnourishment. Drink water? Lately and months ago when the water content has too much arsenic in it. Way too much level or percentage of chlorine. The shrimps and prawns that smelled bleach no matter how much its been washed and cleaned. Coconut powder that is disguised as powdered onions.Make sure the pork is pork when its grounded. Make sure the meat is beef from cows not from other animals. Make sure the sausages are meat from either ground beef or ground pork or ground chicken not ground manatees or sea lions.  What the hell is going on? I think you really have to hire  security guards in the supermarket who make sure that criminals will not change the products. Horrible !

What to do now? KEEP YOUR FOOD SAFE. Have a better QUALITY CONTROL checking the food supply and drinking supply 24hrs/day. It's your life and my life and the lives of others and billions of the population who are in stake. ACT RESPONSIBLY.
