The Chemist-Turn-to-Movie Director in Me

Ayan, ang dalawang babae sa buhay ko, subject ng aking piangkakaabalahang Video Ad. Sana kayo din, gagawa din, inviting others to sponsor the Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards.

Bakit nga ba kelangan ng sponsor sa event?

Kung hindi makakadalo ang mga nominees, they will send 1 or 2 representative to be there, depende sa sponsors na makukuha. Basta it is a must na may representative, Kapamilya at Kapuso, anybody na kung tatawagin ang name mo will come to stage to get the ala-Oscar's trophy-like-plaque.

Unang-una, we want it to be special.

We need some "cash" to pay for the rent of the venue, and the dinner date, and the entertainment and everything for free. Syempre, may mga freebies pa yun, kaya suerte ng dadalo. Promise. (hehe) Ayan bumitaw ako ng magic word. Lagot, NJ, pafinance ha. haha.

Pangalawa, we need some seed money for the future projects. KABLOGS is very busy for their version of that project, but sa PEBA, we are planning to adopt-two-poor-but-deserving-kids-to-send-to-school, symbolic of our two years of existence.

at pangatlo, to be use sa mga outreach programs and kawanggawa projects that directly affects or involve OFW's lives.

Kaya company or individual kagaya nila Generous Lady at Promil Kid, inaanyayahan namin kayo to support and sponsor PEBA.

Download the sponsorship package at the PEBA homesite at ibigay sa mga connections at kakilala. Maraming salamat po!

I also invite you to create your video ads and submit it sa PEBA Video Ad Contest.

Paumanhin:

Wala po akong internet sa planta. Ang hirap ng buhay, ngayon ko napatunayan na adik nga talaga ako sa internet, parang pakiramdam ko kawawang-kawawa ako dahil wala akong net. Hindi tuloy ako makapagyabang about PEBA at KABLOGS, at higit sa lahat hindi ako makacomment sa mga post niyo, pero nababasa ko naman sa RSS sa Cellphone ko.

Sa bahay kasi oras na ng dalawang girls yun kaya bihira ako makapagnet...kaya paumanhin muna, babawi ako kapag bumalik na ang net ko.

Bakit nga ba walang net?

Tinamaan ng backhoe ang cable, ayun, lasog-lasog, dahil nga expansion to the max ang planta ko. hehe

Enjoy this short over 1-minute amateur video...

CREATE YOURS TOO!

Have you seen the PEBA Nominees Video Series 1?

Ang Kawawang Bayan Ko ay Binagyo

Kung anong ganda ng bayan ko, ganun din kalupit ang mga typhoon at storms na dumadaan dito, hindi ko na isasali ang libo-libong lider daw na halal ng bayan pero walang nagawang maayos sa kabila ng milyon-milyong budget nito.

Ito ang mga calamities na hindi kayang pigilan kahit maging sino ka man, parang kanta di ba.

Merong Editor ng malaking pahayagan na humihingi ng tulong, merong bakod ng mga pinakamayayamang tao sa Pinas na nagiba o natibag, at meron artista na nasa rooftop at basang-basa at umiiyak na humihingi ng rescue.

Nakakalungkot, as in pero wala tayong magagawa.

The Thoughtskoto family is praying for our country especially sa mga taong nasalanta, naapektuhan, at nawalan ng mga mahal sa buhay.

Sa Lunes pa daw huhupa ang malakas na ulan. Sa lunes pa malalaman ng bayan.

Mahal pa rin namin ang bayan namin, at uuwi pa rin kami doon, umulan man at bumaha dahil sa mahigit 20 beses mang bumagyo, lumindol man o pumutok ulit ang Mt. Pinatubo... uuwi pa rin kami, ikaw at ako...

Pagkat ako, ikaw, tayo ay Filipino.

The Good and Bad: 2009 MTV Video Awards

I don't know what's going on with Kanye's mind, and I haven't like his songs anyway but stealing someone's moment and totally embarrassing Taylor Swift over nationally televised MTV Video Music Awards will definitely do his music chart down, and make Taylor's music in demand.

Sometimes, we just have to learn to accept things the way it is and leave everything to God.

The videos and links below are from Youtube.

This is the part where Kanye disses Taylor. Notice the reaction on her face when he said Beyonce Knowles has the best video ever.

And the classy woman and great singer she is, Beyonce when receiving the trophy for winning an award had ask Taylor Swift to continue her speech.

Taylor Swift explained about what happened here.

Kanye West issued an apology at Jay Leno's Show here

Sample of Taylor Swift's song here

I just hope walang ganyan sa PEBA Awarding, haha. We are all winners.

SOME (ANIMAL) TIPS

Baka nakita niyo na nga ang mga pictures na ito, pero there are many things we can learn from this animal photos...

And so the Thoughtskoto's decided to share some simple tips sa mga visitors namin.

1. Stay out of Trouble.

Wag lumubog or magtakang sumuot sa drum kung di mo alam kung paano makakaahon, now I am not sure with my Tagalog version, pero sa English, parang ganito yun.

"Don't go down, if you don't know how to get up." Simple lang di ba? Hehe

Tsk tsk, malabo... kayo na bahala.

2. When you are communicating seriously, and sincerely, look the other person or animal in the eye.

They will see the sincerity. Promise. Especially if it is between life and hospital-bone-breaking-hospital-bedridden-or-might-be-death experience.

Ako, whenever I speak or may sasabihin na urgently at talagang importante, I look the person in the eye.

Now figure that out in chatting or calling over the phone.

Look at the screen or cellphone instead... (lols)

3. Exercise to maintain good health. It is the secret to long life.

May kilala ako, naggygym daw siya, buti pa siya may time para maggym.

Maggygym na rin kaya ako.

Gymnastic, that is.

4. Teamwork makes an organization, company and family successful.

Totoo yan, no one is an island. We all need each other here. Any sports team, or any organization, kapag walang harmony and mission and vision, walang mangyayari.

Even our very own self, kapag hindi nagkakatugma ang puso, heart, isip at mind, magulo, parang ako, hilong hilo sa kahahanap ng tao, volunteer at sponsor. hehe

5. Prepare a Shelter for Rainy Days

I wonder what happen, matalino naman ang matsing di ba?

Simple tips lang ang number 5 but with a very profound and different meaning. Shelter could mean a lot of things, house, savings, education, virtues, values, dreams...

6. Friendship is no respecter of person (or animal :)

Have you seen a bird befriend a cat? Or a Black African befriend an Asian, or White American?

Wala yan sa color, sa pinag-aralan, sa status quo, sa backgrounds, or sa language or race.

Friendship for me boils down to one thing.

C-H-A-R-A-C-T-E-R

If the person does have a character that I like and wanted to emulate, if I see goodness in them, I befriend them, because I wanted to be influence by their goodness.

kaya yung mga friend namin dito sa blogosphere, mababait yan...hehe

and hope magpakabait na rin kami...

7. Aim for Greater Heights

Merong mga tao na kuntento na sa buhay. Meron din iba na hindi makuntento sa buhay. I guess for us, we dream for something better. We might be contented sa ngayon, but we never ceases to dream and aim for something better.

Kapag ang isa tao daw, kuntento na, that's the end of everything. I guess people succeed because they keep on aiming for the better, hindi stagnant, kaya hindi nabubulok.

Aim for greater and higher and better things. When you fail, at least you tried. When you succeed, share the blessing to others.

8. Nothing is impossible.

We have some doubts and fears. We do. But we face it with faith in God. Kasi di ba sabi Niya,

"for Him nothing is impossible"

I believe that wholeheartedly.

I subscribe to that belief and for many years have proven that indeed, with Him,

if we do things with Him...

things will just go fine, things will just be fine.

Sounds preachy? hmmmn, I am hungry.

9. Rest and Relax.

Breathe some fresh air. Watch a scenic or breathtaking view, and wonder at the beauty of nature, and the tranquility of the birds flying up above.

Take sometime to enjoy the beauty within us.

When you look at the mirror, don't say, "Yuck!"

You are not helping.

Say, "Wow!"

and feel better. We are all wonderful, unique and special.

Kagaya dito sa blogosphere, I have known many, many people, young and not-so-young with tremendous potential, with so much to offer, pero afraid or ashamed to come out in the open and share and reach limitless abilities and hidden talents.

10. Wear Your Best Smile.

It is the secret of staying and looking young.

Tingnan mo nga tong asong toh, parang puppy pa di ba? kasi nga smile lang ng smile.

Nakakita na kasi ng lalapain eh.

(Hindi ko sinabing ikaw yun ah...defensive lang...)

A Prayer and Plead for Help

The THOUGHTSKOTO family is joining in a moment of prayer for Maricris Ugay, a 36-year old Cancer patient from Paco Manila.

Maricris, a good friend of Mr. and Mrs. The Pope wrote a letter to Palipasan asking for our prayers, support and donation.

Her Husband contact info here:

Mr. Jonathan Ugay

+639159296960

Home Address: 14 Cristobal St. Paco Manila

Metrobank Account No. 033-3-03361666-0 Ermita Branch

This prayer is also dotting the KABLOGS now.

From LordCM at the Dungeon

Bhing at Gumamela sa Paraiso

Ruel at the Perfect Square

Jessie at Life Moto

As I've said in my comment to her letter, reminding me of my Mom, at the age of 39, suffering the same thing, and with a very limited medicine and complications that time that cost our fortune and her life na halos nasira ang future namin, and it took us more than a decade to recover:

Mr. Thoughtskoto said...

This is something that I am very familiar about. 16 years old, and 16 years ago, my Mom suffered the same, and it breaks my heart to remember the scenes of the past.

God bless you Maricris, and with the technology and advancement of medicine after 16 years, I am grateful you will have high hope that things will work out according to the righteous desires of our heart.

The Pope said...

@ Mr. Thoughtskoto

I am really sorry to hear your story about your mother's passing... it really breaks my heart to hear women suffers such pain especially when they are inflicted with cancer.

Despite of the modern science discoveries and advance medical technology, the costs of medicines and professional fees is still not affordable to the common man.

And at times like this, the most important shield in life is faith and the best medicine is prayer in battling with this disease.

May we be touched to bless her, even we don't know her. May we offer prayer in our hearts and in our minds, even we haven't seen her, because that is what charity is, the pure love of God - genuine concern for the welfare of others.

Helping without expecting anything. Caring and sharing, in simple ways and meager means even if it seems to be nothing.

Read the full text of her letter here.

Please Don't Read. Thank you.

Forgive the public display of affection here...

Guess you know who is Peb and Bloggi already...

Cheesy, call me mad, but I am truly, deeply, madly in love!
