My friend Richard is now going on a mission. He will be entering the Missionary Training Center on Saturday, June 9, 2012 and he will be serving 2 years of missionary work in Philippines Baguio Mission.

Me, yes I am also preparing. I already printed out a copy of my medical and dental form to start the process. I am just waiting for me to login to Online Missionary Recommendation. I still can't login I don't know why. I already asked my Bishop about it and I am just waiting for his response.

I am crossing my fingers as I wanted to finish all the requirements before he (Richard, soon to be Elder Orzal) enter the MTC.

Praying for a good result...

See you after Two years Elder Orzal.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will soon celebrate its 50th year here in the Philippines on 30th of April 2011. That is almost two months from now which will be held at the Big Dome, Araneta Coliseum.

I am proud to say that I am part of it Me, Richard Orzal and his brother Ryan Orzal are part of the Jubilee Celebration. Me and Richard will dance along with the youth for Mantones-Cariñosa and Maskara and we are also part of the Ballroom dancers along with Ryan Orzal.

We are very excited!

We had our second dry run at Cuneta Astrodome last Saturday, 26th of February 2011. We really enjoyed it and we are very proud because the Young Women and Young Men from Novaliches and Quezon City Stake did their very best and perform very well. We are very proud of them!

We are hoping that they will perform more at Araneta!.

Good luck to all of us! Always remember that we are not doing this for our own sake but also to our Heavenly Father!

I wanna start my blog again.

I think it is almost a year when the last time I updated my blog and I am really disappointed to myself.

Now, I will start all over again.

We started the devotional by singing Hymn Number 266 The Time is Far Spent and an opening prayer of Bro. Niko Ruivivar.

Sis. Mary Jane Pomarejos was the first speaker and she advice us to wait for the right person to come and what are the qualities of a right man.

According to her the qualities of a right man are:

• A right man should honor his priesthood
• Honors womanhood
• He should be a full tight payer
• He should be taking you to the temple

Next speaker was her husband, Bro. Dennis Pomarejos who tackles about the celestial marriage. He said that a relationship should lead to a Celestial Marriage. He also mentioned that if the relationship is not eternal forget it. God will going to help us despite of our doubts and weaknesses. Fears and worries will be replaced by Faith.

Lastly, President Revillo. He said "Temple Marriage is not a suggestion it is a commandment from the Lord"

He also tackles how to prepare for a Full time mission. That if you are already on the right age you need to pray, fast and attend the institute for you to know the importance of going on a Mission,

He also told us about the life of a full time Missionary. He said a full time missionary should lock their heart, be obedient to the Mission President and should change their attitude.

After the mission, he said there are 2 types of Return Missionaries:

• True Return Missionary
• Return Monster

True Return Missionary has a desire to study or to work and has a desire to look for someone to go with them to the temple. While, a return monster is the one who's not living what he learned and might have the following jobs:

• GSIS - Galing Sa Ina ang Suporta
• Logging - Laging Istambay
• PAL - Palamunin
• PNB - Palamunin Ng Biyenan

He also mentioned about the three types of S.A

• Single Adult
• Sobrang Adult
• Super Adult

For Sister return missionaries, you should always stay beautiful and clean.

For Brother return missionaries, they should know the signs that a sister will going to show them.

Always ask for the guidance of the Holy Ghost. Never expect a perfect husband or wife because marriage is a long time process of adjustment.

GO For Temple Marriage! Stick to the Gospel! Be Active!

Masasabing grabe talaga ang nangyari noong nakaraang sabado at linggo ika-26 at 27 ng Setyembre 2009. Magdamag na nag-uulan noong gabi ng Sabado, ika-26 ng Setyembre. Sinasabing noong araw na yun umulan ng katumbas ng isang buwan. Isang araw na di malilimutan dahil ito ay kumitil ng mahigit 200 katao at marami pa ang hindi natatagpuan.

Tinawag ang bagyong ito na bagyong ondoy, sinasabing napakatagal na panahon na noong nangyari ang ganitong pag-ulan. Hindi lubos maisip ng lahat na magagawang palubugin ng bagyong ondoy kahit ang matataas na lugar. Wala talagang pinatawad ang bagyong ondoy, mayaman man o mahirap, maganda man ang bahay mo o isang simpleng barong barong lang. Nakakalungkot, nakakapanglumo. Hindi man kami naapektuhan dito sa lugar namin nakakabigat pa din talaga ng kalooban.

Sino nga ba talaga ang dapat sisihin sa pagbahang ito? Mayroon nga bang dapat sisihin? O talagang ganti ito ng kalikasan sa lahat ng kababuyan natin at pagdudumi natin sa ating paligid?

Maaring nating sabihin na nagkaroon ng matinding pagbaha dahil sa mga basurang ikinalat natin. Mga basurang itinatapon natin sa ilog, lawa o sapa. Mga maliliit na balat ng kendi na bumara sa kanal at na ipon ng napakatagal. Libo-libong basura na tayo din ang may gawa. Na naging sanhi ng pag-apaw ng mga ilog at di pagdaloy ng tubig.

Sinasabing kaya nagkaroon ng ganun katinding pagbaha ay dahil sa biglaang pagpapalabas ng tubig sa iba't ibang Dam nandyan na ang Anggat Dam, La Mesa Dam at iba pa. Naisip ko lang bakit hindi naglabas ng paunti unting tubig ang dam noong mga oras na mahina pa lang ang ulan o nag-uumpisa pa lang ang ulan? Bakit hindi naisip ng mga nagbabantay dun na maaring matagal pa bago matapos ang pag-ulan at may possibility na talagang umapaw ang mga dam? At bakit bigla nilang pinakawalan ang tubig sa dam? Napakaraming tanong sa isip ko na di ko alam kung masasagot ngayon. Pero, naisip ko din dapat nung una palang naisip na nila yung mga posibilidad na mangyayari. Kayo naisip niyo ba yun?

Mapapanood natin ngayon ang lahat ng resulta ng bagyong ondoy. Mababasa natin lahat ng mga naganap kahit saang parte ka ng Pilipinas at kahit saang parte ka pa ng mundo naroon. At sa tuwing nakikita ko yung mga taong namatay dahil sa sinusubukan nilang makaligtas but, unfortunately di sila nakaligtas. Napakaraming bata ang ngayon ay walang masilungan, walang masuot at maari rin naman ng wala ng magulang o kaya'y nawawala pa sa kasalukuyan. Mga matatanda na may karamdaman na sobrang nahirapan sa nasabing bagyo.

Ang tanging magagawa natin ngayon ay ang tumulong at ipagdasal ang kanilang kaligtasan. Lalo na ngayon na may dumating na naman na bagong bagyo si Bagyong Pepeng at sinsabing meron pang isa. Sana lang hindi na maulit yung nangyari nung nakaraan. Tama na ang isang beses na sakuna. Tama na ang mahigit 200 namatay at tama na ang mga putik na tumabon sa napakaraming bahay.

Tumulong tayong lahat. Kailangan ng mga taong nasalanta ni bagyong Ondoy ang tulong natin. Sa simpleng bagay makakatulong tayo. Damit, konting pagkain, mga kumot at iba pang mga magagamit ng mga taong nasalanta. Napakaraming nagugutom at isipin natin ang mga taong nasa evacuation center.

Magkaisa tayong lahat. At huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Matuto tayong maglakad pasulong at huwag paatras. Harapin natin ang bukas ng may ngiti sa puso at isip. Lagi natin isipin na mayroon tayong Amang nasa Langit na nagmamahal sa atin at patuloy Niya tayong binabantayan at gabayan.

Let us all pause and pray. Thank Our Heavenly Father that we are still alive and we still have our loved ones beside us. And for those who lost their loved ones, Condolence but a death doesn't mean everything should STOP. Just move forward and pray and be thankful.

Hehe.. I really like this video...

Just watch it... hehe

Bakit ka unfair?

Paano nga ba masasabing unfair ang isang tao?

Unfair ka din ba?

Bakit kaya may mga taong unfair? Unfair talaga di ba?

Maraming papuring sinasabi sayo. Tapos pagdating sa evaluation biglang bagsak pala?! Ang katwiran niya hindi ka kasi masyadong nakikipagkwentuhan sa kanila. Eh pano makikipag kwentuhan eh puro kabastusan naman ang pinag-uusapan nila! Maayos ka naman na nakikisama sa kanila pero pagdating sa behavior bagsak ka! Ha? what happen? Ano ba talaga ang basihan nila?

Paano nga ba siya nag come up ng ganung grade o score? Kailangan ba bastusin mo rin siya tulad ng ginagawa ng iba? Kailangan ba pag niyaya ka niya uminom ng alak kahit di ka umiinom iinom ka? Aba?! alisan daw ba ng dignidad ang tao?! Unfair talaga!

Masyado yatang pumasok sa utak mo na mataas ang posisyon mo? Masyado mo namang kinacareer yan. Naku! huwag kang ganyan. Baka pag bumagsak ka sobra kang masaktan! Isa pang pagkakamali at makakarating na yan sa nakatataas! Tsk.. Tsk.. Tsk..

May araw ka rin! Alam mo kung sino ka! Kung mabasa mo man to! Wala akong pakialam!

After being the first one to be voted off, Justine was given a chance to stay in the island but on the other part of the island. It is what you called 'Isla Purgatoryo'.

In isla purgatoryo, voted off castaways will be given a chance to survive again and to fight for the other castaways that was voted off. Justine is the first one who will experience this.

Justine was accompanied by a dog.

Tara, an English Tutor is like Marlon from the first Survivor Philippines. Why did I say so?

Well, I just notice every moves that she's doing. With the make faces and the smile and also the pagtataray. Its some what annoying because when Justine was voted off to the first tribal council, she smiles a smile with lots of meaning.

I will be watching Tara, what are the next plan.

Survivor Philippines Palau just had its first tribal council.

Secrets have been revealed and as time goes by we are seeing the attitude of each castaways.


At the tribal council, it was revealed that Justine "the beauty queen" is a gay. I was shocked because I haven't notice that she's a gay. Aside from being a gay, Justine was the first castaway that was voted off.

Even if, she's a gay I can say that she really is so beautiful! She doesn't have any trace that she's a guy before.

Aside from the tribal council, I think there's a twist on Monday. Let us all watch and see what will happen.

Survivor Philippines! Go!

Immunity challenge begins. Airai wins the challenge again!


I can see that Airai has lots of strategies to work on with and their tribe is really strong. Because they won, they are given a chance to choose from the other tribe (Koror) whom to save for the tribal council. And they chose "Mommy Carol", which makes the Koror tribe became more disappointed.

Airai also chose to get the crane instead of giving it to the Koror tribe.

Go! Go! Airai!..

We've all watched the first day of the Survivor Philippines Palau. It is very exciting we are seeing those bossy and the other attitudes that the castaways have.


Now, the second day starts and the Airai tribe wins the challenge.

Congatulations to Airai! They won the Flint!

Let us all watch Survivor Philippines Palau!

Survivor Philippines Day 1 ends.....

Now we know who are the bossy type, the simple maniac, the intelligent and feeling intelligent. I can even compare the previous castaways to the new ones.

I know we are about to see more. I just can't wait to see those challenges.

Good Luck to all the castaways!...

Balitang balita kahapon na balak ng LTFRB na magbigay ng resibo ang jeepney. Ano ang masasabi niyo dito?

Kung ako ang tatanungin niyo, palagay ko hindi na dapat pa na magbigay ng resibo ang mga driver ng jeepney. Kung iisipin napakalaking abala nito sa kanila. Hindi naman kasi yan tulad ng mga bus na may konduktor. Pwede ninyong sabihin na may mga backride naman sila. Pero sapalagay niyo makatarungan sa kanila yan?

Nagre-renew naman sila taon taon so ibig sabihin nagbabayad pa din sila ng buwis kahit papaano di ba? Tsaka aanhin ba ng pamahalaan ang napakaraming buwis? Para gastusin ito sa pagkain nila sa tuwing nasa ibang bansa sila? Para makapunta sila sa iba't ibang bansa? Para i-provide sila ng mamahaling sasakyan? Para ba talaga ito sa bayan o para lang sa pansariling kapakanan?

Hay, napakarami nga talagang problema ng bansa mula Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao. Sana naman huwag lang ang mga motorista ang pag-initan nila ng ganyan.

Sana mag-isip sila kung ano pa ba ang makakatulong sa bansa natin.

Survivor Philippines Palau will be aired on Monday, August 17, 2009. Let us all watch who will be the next Survivor!..

Pwede natin sabihin na its a typographical error pero nakakatawa pa rin ay.. nakakagulat pala.. hehe....


Here's the picture from the Manila Bulletin. Di ko alam if nag-apologize na ba sila o hindi pa. Meron pa ung sa ABS-CBN..

Kitang kita di ba?

Napakaganda pa man din ng coverage ng ABS-CBN because they have the best shots tapos may ganyang factor?!...

Well, nobody is perfect nga naman. Tao lang.. Nagkakamali!

A few days ago, me and my co-employee are talking about Postpartum depression. Some of them already have their own family and few of them confessed that they experience postpartum depression.

Actually, that's not the reason why I wrote about postpartum depression. I was just amazed because I think the Holy Ghost is with me by the time I asked my co-employee about postpartum depression. Why did I say so? Because last Sunday, I got my monthly issue of Liahona (The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints' Magazine) and one of the topic that was written on the Church Magazine is about postpartum depression.

What is Postpartum Depression?

Postpartum Depression or the so called Postnatal depression is a form of depression that usually affect the mother who just gave birth. According to some studies, postpartum depression is an illness. Researchers believe that it happens during pregnancy and it is because of the hormonal changes that the mother experience during pregnancy that leads to depression.

Research shows that 0ne (1) out of ten (10) mothers experience postpartum depression. It occurs within four weeks after giving birth but sometimes it occurs after several months. Some mother can easily control themselves after a few weeks but others cannot.

Baby blues and Postpartum Depression

Baby blues is different from postpartum depression. As what I have said, Postpartum depression is an illness while baby blues is just a temporary sadness. It also appear after giving birth but can only last for ten (10) days.

Mothers who experience baby blues have the following symptoms:

• tearfulness
• irritability
• fatigue
• anxiety
• emotional sensitivity
  

You may say that baby blues and postpartum depression are the same but just like what I have told you it is different. Baby blues is more on physical feelings and changes while postpartum depression is more on emotional.

What are the symptoms of Postpartum depression?

Dr. Cheryl T. Beck a nurse researcher said that postpatum depression is a thief. It steals the motherhood of a woman.She listed the symptoms of postpartum depression and it includes the following:

• A depressed mood
• Absence of laughter
• Blank facial expression
• Sadness
• Inadequacy
• Indecisiveness about ordinary matters
• Irritation
• Struggling for perfection
• Feeling of sense of failure
• Difficulty in sleeping
• Experiencing shattered expectations
• Plunging into despair
• Difficulty in focusing
• Feeling lonely
• Difficulty in sleeping
• Lack of appetite
• Struggling to survive
• Feeling of losing her mind

How to manage postpartum depression?

Family of the woman who are struggling to postpartum depression should be aware of what;s happening and they should help the mother and also the child. Because the mood of the mother affects the mood of the newly born child. And it can also affect the whole family. It is very important that the mother is seeing support from her family.

It is very important that the husband help and support his wife in daily activities such as:

• Taking over household chores and taking good care of their children
• Helping the mother to get enough sleep, appropriate nutrition, and exercise.
• Assisting the baby
• Listening, caring and just being with her can also help the mother
• Husband must be aware that his wife is experiencing depression.
  

Not only family but friends can also help her to overcome postpartum depression.

We are hearing lots of bad news about postpartum depression and recently a news outside our country about a woman who ate the brain of her newly born child. It is really sad that this things happen specially to the newly born baby.

Now, that we all know what to do and what are the things that we should know and consider once a woman is experiencing postpartum depression. We can be a big help to those families or to those mothers who are experiencing the said depression.

Happy birthday to our beloved President.

This coming August 21, 2009, President Monson will celebrate his 81st birthday.

We wish you good health and a happy life.

We love you Pres. Monson.....

from,

Novaliches Stake - Sampaguita Ward

We all heard of the bad news. Let us all pause and pray for her soul. She will be living a new life in the new world. The former President is now with her Husband, Former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

She was already on her new journey to be with our Heavenly Father....
