<span lang="EN-US"> Tamagetamonda
is a Japanese word that would best describe the whole experience I had with the
homestay program. Homestay, I believe, is one of the most incredible
opportunities that a foreigner should not miss. Opportunities only come once,
and it should be grabbed without hesitation or else it will not pass again. I
came to Japan not only to study but also to learn its cultures and tradition.
In order to learn those things, one needs to live them. Experience is the best
teacher and the three (3) day homestay program I sure did learned a lot.</span></div>

came, and we still do not know who our homestay parents would be and that made
me more anxious. Looking at the stage, where a bunch of families gathers, one
of those are possibly my homestay family. After a few minutes, they announced
the family and were excited in finally meeting them. I saw how nervous they
were, but, at the same time, I saw that they were happy to have finally met me.
The same goes with my feelings towards them.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The Challenge</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Staying in Japan
is the most challenging experienced that I have ever encountered in my life. I
easily adapt to every culture, food and traditions to different countries that
I have ever been into but not on language. Communicating in Japanese is a
challenge of my adaptability skills. I tried to prepare myself for this
program, but I failed on learning the communication part. I know how to read
and write but not on conversing in Japanese. However, that challenge gave me
even more motivation to learn Japanese and to apply everything that I have
learned by heart. It may not be an easy road to marvel, but the whole experience
gave me enough strength to muster and accept the greater challenges that lie
ahead.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 42.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">All my life, I
have lived with relatives. They reared me as their own. I have never felt the
love of a mother and father, although, that love was filled by my Aunts.
However, this experience is a totally different one. It gave me an opportunity,
not only to live like what a typical Japanese family lived, but to experience
what a father and mother do to their children. In a short amount of time
staying with my </span><span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif";">おかあさん</span><span lang="EN-US"> and </span><span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif";">おとおさん</span><span lang="EN-US">,</span><span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif";"> </span><span lang="EN-US">it gave me a glimpse of love a child could
get out of their parents. Although I have to process everything what they have
told me (they only speak in Japanese); however, the experience is really
worthwhile. One advice from my </span><span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif";">おとおさん </span><span lang="EN-US">that I won</span><span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif";">’</span><span lang="EN-US">t forget is not to worry about life or what it brings. Everything
happens for a reason, and I need to accept that. In order to grow, we must live
by these reasons and allow oneself to be strengthened by the circumstances in
life.</span></div>

helped me get through my Japanese was my homestay brother who helped me
understand the things that my parents were telling us. I am the youngest in our

better family than my homestay family – the Tobita Family.</span></div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> “One is not defeated by a great struggle of life; instead, one is defeated if he ceased on living”. I do not know where this phrase came from or was it just a product of watching movies or reading novels, but I do know that this was the summary of what I have gotten out of the SINTAP Experience. A year ago, I am just a viewer who watched the tsunami that hit Japan on television. It is an experience where, in some way, you just sit there and do nothing. I wanted to do something, but the question is how? I wanted to be a part of something that could make a change – even just a small, simple yet meaningful change. A few days after, I got a call saying that i'll be staying for two (2) years in Japan. Could this be it, the significant change that I long to do? Now I am ready to go to Japan with a simple thought of making a significant difference.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> The thought of making a significant change excites me. A change of uplifting other people's burdens, seeing them smile and having a joyful spirit kept me on looking forward to this day. SINTAP created that opportunity for me to realize such a simple dream. However, that was not the case. Instead of I creating a significant change, It changed me. Change in a sense of seeing my perspective in a different light - a change of self and purpose.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> March 5 - 8, 2012, almost a year after the tsunami incident that hit Japan, ICU SINTAP group went to Oshima Island, Kesennuma, Japan to lend a hand. We volunteered to help unload stuff that has been washed away by the tsunami, hear stories of the survivors and even play with school children. One of the activity that we had was to interview families and hear them tell stories of their life after the tragedy. Our group was assigned to interview the Komatsu family in a temporary shelter meeting room.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> Interviewing Mr. Komatsu gave me a thought to ponder. After<span style="color: maroon;"> </span><span style="color: black;">the tsunami, Mr. Komatsu said that he seems to have no aim or purpose at all</span>. It was only after joining <span style="color: maroon;">Obakatai </span>that he sensed his purpose – that is to help others. It is unheard of to see people who were the victim and yet are able to help build and motivate others in putting their feet back together. For a man, who lost everything – a home, a job and a purpose – gathering enough courage to stand up and help is the greatest inspiration. It inspired me not to wait for an opportunity to appear but instead to create that opportunity. Not to wait for others to help you stand but for you to try to stand up on your own. It does not mean that they were not struggling inside, nor the pains were already gone. Instead, they replaced those struggles with optimism, hope and love. One Zulu proverb says “A person is a person because of people”. Mr. Komatsu became a man of purpose because of people. He became a true person because of people that surrounds him that needs his service and people that have the same heart as he does – the volunteers. He had an opportunity to stay with his children in Sendai, but he chose to go back. Mr. Komatsu never ceased on living his life, on what he believes in and on what he does. This is what makes a person, person.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />

Between these 2 answers, you can determine the identity of the person. The better answer he has, the more a person he is - I have all the time trying to make the answer as I go on living." I believe that Mr. Komatsu is living his life fully for the things he wanted to live for.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> A former owner of a sushi restaurant, Mr. Komatsu was asked about the comparison of his sushi with the rest of sushi restaurants in the island. “Mine were the best”, he exclaimed. One thing struck me was the next sentence that he said. “All sushi are the same, but what makes it best is when it is made from the heart”. I took that phrase in a different light. It may sound foolish of me to interpret such a simple sentence in a totally different manner. I never saw it as a sentence that talks about sushi alone. Rather, I took it as words from Mr. Komatsu's life's journey - full of wisdom and truth. The volunteers came from different parts of the world. Volunteers who has the passion to help, serve and create a significant change. Although we came from different backgrounds, beliefs, struggles and point of views, like the sushi, we are all the same. We are in this group for a purpose of helping and uplifting people's lives. What makes us best is the sincerity and pureness of our hearts. That's what makes this experience a memorable one - an experience of victory over downfall, joy over pain, life over death. Before Mr. Komatsu bid us farewell, he had spoken to me and said “make your sushi from your heart and continue to smile, it helps”.<br />
<br />
I remember the boys of Room 231 sang the song “Sakura” by Naotaro Moriyama. In such a short time, like the sakura, the experience has to end. It seems that three (3) days were not enough. I wanted to stay longer in order for me to know more about the lessons of life. Furthermore, I wanted to grasp the wisdom that I could get from the stories of people's lives and to deepen friendships with fellow volunteers.<br />

Upon arrival late at night, I hurriedly went to Shinjuku Washington Hotel where I was billeted. The first time I entered the lobby,smiles of the Japanese greeted me and it felt so warm. My tired body just went energized as they smile all the way until the time I entered my room. Japanese politeness was so catching that eventually I managed to even smile and bow at the same time to everyone I meet.<br />

From where I am at, I can see the beautiful view of Shijuku-ku and its surroundings. The place is so clean and very orderly. The staffs clean your room and changes all toiletries, sheets etc everyday so you won't have to worry about the cleanliness if you are concern of your hygiene. Internet connection is also provided though you have to configure it yourself.<br />
<br />
Worrying about food and grocery needs? You don't have to. All of those are available at the 1st floor and basement area. You can find all sorts of restaurants for your different cravings. Family Mart and Mini Stop is also available 24 hours.<br />
<br />
Staying in Japan has never been this comfortable. Have a pleasant stay in Japan. Ja Mata.<br />

20 JDS Fellows had their send-off ceremony last August 4, 2011 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Makati City. It was well represented by the representatives from the Embassy of Japan, NEDA, DFA and JICA. After the send-off two fellows who will be studying at the International Christian University will go ahead of the pack on August 5, 2011 and have their separate orientation in Tokyo, Japan while the remaining eighteen scholars will leave on the 29th of August.

Here's my take on a classic love movie 50 First Dates. Henry Roth is a man afraid of commitment up until he meets the beautiful Lucy. They hit it off and Henry think he's finally found the girl of his dreams, until he discovers she has short-term memory loss and forgets him the very next day. <br />

I will not be talking about its festivities, however, I will be talking about a place where you could stay in a budget. Budget hotels, inn or motels are very hard to find nowadays. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbcuOfsaw5C6ERTjT502CXSh8VCS6pcCN7bl_KDdphWWdh-yn4USIz2h69zL6O3sCHPXVVThjUkLWDboOGdanmc666xJsdJ_767qvsxHQRygQLFftzRX2119qepYtUmxpdrvuwVXa4g1QX/s1600/IMG00613-20110224-1746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbcuOfsaw5C6ERTjT502CXSh8VCS6pcCN7bl_KDdphWWdh-yn4USIz2h69zL6O3sCHPXVVThjUkLWDboOGdanmc666xJsdJ_767qvsxHQRygQLFftzRX2119qepYtUmxpdrvuwVXa4g1QX/s320/IMG00613-20110224-1746.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>If you're looking for a budget inn in Koronadal City, then go to Villa Princessita. Strategically located that is not far from the city proper, malls and restaurant and still find an oasis to rest and relax.<br />
<br />
Their rooms are cozy and nice. Cable TV, beds can be in pairs, or by fours. It terms of place? really cheap so can enjoy most of your money to the local delicacies of Koronadal.<br />
<br />
Pasalubong ba hanap mo? Buko pies in this Inn is a must. Buko pies, once tasted, is heavenly so don't check out without buying the pie.<br />

Life must go on...<br />
<br />
Like a tree that is planted in my heart<br />
It needs to be nourished and watered;<br />
Like a flower that blooms every spring<br />
Like my heart pounding in a boxing ring.<br />
<br />
<br />
But love cannot be love without someone to be loved<br />
I may be foolish but I know it's true;<br />
That falling in love with you<br />
Is the greatest feeling even when I am blue.<br />
<br />
<br />

It is building a bridge of chance for someone you love. There is one thing that love strongly suggest that if you love someone, set her free. What is wrong with someone whom you do not love marry?. Ironic, however, true.<br />
<br />
What is love? Ask yourself. Do you love her? I think not. If you want to find love, stop being foolish and start living. If she comes back to you, she's all yours.<br />
<br />
Love is blind they say<br />
But what can't you see states;<br />
That falling in love is a hearsay<br />
This feeling of mine obliterates.<br />

</a></div>In one of my travels going to Manila, a place i rarely go to, who knew that there's a budget hotel that every Juan can afford. Though it's not in Metro Manila per se, however, its accessibility to almost anything is commendable. I am talking about Gohotels in Mandaluyong City. It is located near MRT-Boni Station, right beside the Robinsons Mall Forum. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJ7XaL_YXG3pSwrsittGsHgDhVj9dahfS5cXySTZxJC6A9wAUHj_FJRqGxEuCcNjIJTry9dqw471a2ZZQYo5DZ4ixmBgzT73iFHR85LyaPQxmyL8U0oupHsV-162_bDnab2UhuSyEdmid/s1600/go+hotels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCJ7XaL_YXG3pSwrsittGsHgDhVj9dahfS5cXySTZxJC6A9wAUHj_FJRqGxEuCcNjIJTry9dqw471a2ZZQYo5DZ4ixmBgzT73iFHR85LyaPQxmyL8U0oupHsV-162_bDnab2UhuSyEdmid/s200/go+hotels.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
When I first arrive there during the holidays, ignorance just crept in, I couldn't open their front door. It was locked from the inside and in order for you to go in is to swipe their guest cards and I don't have that. Luckily one of the crew saw me and opened the door from the inside. I later found out that you have to push the buzzer button to let them know. It amazes me to have such security system in a budget hotel.<br />
<br />
A friendly staff greeted me with a smile. A smile on their faces felt so warm that really invites you to really check in. That's a way to start your day in a hotel. Security is their primary concern as all floors have CCTV cameras.<br />

Their rooms are cozy and minimalistic. A good place to rest and relax after long day of travel and shopping (just outside the hotel is a mall to go shopping in). All floors are WIFI ready so better bring along your laptops or do your reports without worries of not submitting it on time while enjoying their beautiful lounge.<br />

Efren, the guy Sandra interviewed, washes his hands almost every minute. Even brings alcohol in his pocket to clean his (filthy/dirty) hands. We may find it weird, however, some of us (1 million Filipinos, i might add) is suffering from this yet they hide for humiliation. It's a brave thing Efren did for coming out that He has this disorder.<br />
<br />
What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder anyways?. One friend said that I was OC. It's strange how he find me being obsessive or compulsive. Anyways, OCD is a psychiatric disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions, such as cleaning, checking, counting, or hoarding. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), one of the anxiety disorders, is a potentially disabling condition that can persist throughout a person's life. The individual who suffers from OCD becomes trapped in a pattern of repetitive thoughts and behaviors that are senseless and distressing but extremely difficult to overcome. OCD occurs in a spectrum from mild to severe, but if severe and left untreated, can destroy a person's capacity to function at work, at school, or even in the home.<br />

Poverty alleviation has long been a government program in the Philippines, where, according to a 2010 Social Weather Stations report, 49% of families rated themselves as poor. The rate of hunger incidence among 3.4 million families is up by more than 2%, from last year’s 15.1% to this year’s 18.1%*.Increase in poverty and hunger in 2010 is attributed to the high prices of basic commodities. In a Business World article, Presidential Communications Development Secretary Ricky Carandang was quoted as saying, “The fact that there was some increase makes it all the more urgent for us to get our social programs in place. We’re hoping that some of that will be felt this year.” - <u><i>CSC January 2011 issue</i></u></span><br />

So while practicing for the sunday's worship service, one member video taped me practicing some of the songs. Here's one of them.<br />

unconditional love i give, that’s for free<br />
receive it in your heart truthfully, i plea.<br />

<br />
I was born barely having parents beside me. My mother, who is a nurse, left us to pursue her dreams abroad. I was eleven months old then and the youngest among three boys. My father took care of us up until he became a fugitive of the law when i was in grade 3. Life is hard, mind you, without any parents living beside you nor giving you advises and support. God has been so gracious that He didn’t allowed us to have no shelter, food and clothing. God provided us a family who would take good care of us. My father’s sisters took us and became our guardians. They chose not to have a family of their own and be a responsible guardians.<br />

I lived independently ever since my parents was not around. I strive really hard to be on top of the game. Learning the basics on my own, selling ice drop in our school, and save a little of my allowance to buy educational books. Walking was always a part of my life. To save more, I seldom ride a transport and just walk.<br />
<br />
I have learned a lot since childhood. I owe them all to my wonderful Aunts who has always been there for me and to my siblings.<br />
<br />
After graduating in High School, I started wondering if I could go to college. At that time, I was ashamed of asking a big favor to my guardians to send to me to a good university. I started applying for a scholarship, without them knowing it. I prayed really hard to God to order everything and allow me to pass any scholarship. I’ve waited for an answer.<br />
<br />
My heart was pounding, beating fast, as the day of enrollment comes near. I have chosen a course way back in grade school. Since then I was preparing myself to face a degree in Biology and be a medical doctor after. I enrolled in Ateneo de Davao University with a degree in Biology. I could get a part time job while going to school, i told myself. But right after I could pass all the requirements to the registrar, i received a call and told me that I passed the Metrobank Scholarship. My mouth was shut. I don’t know how to react and just thank God for the blessing. I went immediately back to Cotabato City and enrolled in Notre Dame University. While my dream was to become a doctor, the course granted by the Foundation was BS in Accountancy and BS in Mathematics. I later chose BS in Accountancy. At first I was shocked by the numbers and later loved them. After graduation, i finally saw my mother and her new family.<br />
<br />
I thanked God all the more when I finished a degree. I said that without God’s blessing and favor and without the foundation, one person’s dream may not be realized. When a person strive so hard, God sees the effort and grants him his desire, touching other people to be a vessel and an instrument in achieving that desire. To Tito Chito, and all my MBFI Family, words of thanks may not be enough. I continually pray that you will inspire more people in believing and achieving their dreams.<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thepubl0f-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B003Q6D2B4&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe><br />
<br />
I now pursue my Doctor of Philosophy degree, it may not be a medical doctor that I desired before, still I thank God that I could help other people as well.<br />

I <br />
A friend opened up his difficulties<br />
He struggled on matters that I hardly know;<br />
But one thing I know that I should listen for feelings<br />
Be quick to listen and slow to speak.<br />
<br />
II<br />
That friend released his emotions<br />
the wounds of his heart sets his tongue in motion;<br />
we ought to have control in our speech, I said<br />
see our hearts and maybe the problem is you.<br />
<br />
III<br />
we ought to desire and experience life change<br />
humble in ourselves to accept God’s word;<br />
just do it as Nike’s motto says<br />
do what the Word says, lasting life change shall begin.<br />
~James 1:19-27~<br />

I<br />
as i walk down the road of Cd’s and DVD’s<br />
i saw new release videos, my eyes drawn away and was enticed;<br />
naked people posing everywhere, nudity exposed<br />
“tukso layuan mo ako”, i shut my eyes closed.<br />
<br />
II<br />
a few steps further brand new cellphones for sale<br />
oh, i can’t resist looking at them, i failed<br />
the test of being tempted, i plea<br />
Lord help me stay away from there, so it be.<br />
<br />
III<br />
glitters, gold, silver, diamonds displayed<br />
a few steps forward it purposely deceive<br />
people walking by unknowingly enticed<br />
undivided attention now they see.<br />
<br />
IV<br />
temptation is not a sin they say<br />
giving in to it, that is sin, please stay away;<br />
satan wants you to play his game<br />
God is good, don’t let Him get the blame.<br />
<br />

This is an excellent program of the Civil Service Commission to really know what their constituents like about the services of their leaders. This is part of the Anti Red Tape Act campaign of the government.<br />

Here's the article written by the Civil Service Commission and listed the top 6 performing Government agency.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The said LGUs, which hold the distinction of being the first government agencies to receive the award, are entitled to receive a wall-mountable glass seal bearing the Seal of Excellence Award symbol along with a cash reward.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The awardees attained the highest ratings in the Report Card Survey (RCS) conducted by the CSC during the pilot implementation of the program. The conduct of the Report Card Survey is one of the requirements under Republic Act No. 9485, known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 or ARTA.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The CSC, through its regional offices, conducted the RCS pilot run in selected government agencies from July 1 to August 31, 2010. It covered 10 priority agencies in the National Capital Region identified in Administrative Order No. 241, and the model province and model city of every region previously identified by the CSC.<iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thepubl0f-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=B000SEGKC0&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Researchers were asked to interview clients who have already finished their transaction with the agency. Using a questionnaire and checklist as tools, the researchers rated the agency in terms of compliance with the requirements of ARTA, such as the presence of Citizen’s Charter, anti-fixer campaign materials, and help desk; and implementation of “No Lunch Break” policy.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It also evaluated client satisfaction based on the quality of service received, time it took them to complete the transaction, physical setup of the agency (e.g. signage/directions, accessibility, cleanliness, orderliness, lighting, ventilation and layout) and availability of basic facilities (e.g. comfort room, canteen, waiting area, facilities for pregnant women, persons with disability and the elderly).</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A relatively new endeavor of the CSC, the grant of the Citizen’s Satisfaction Center Seal of Excellence Award forms part of the Commission’s mandate to promote prompt, excellent, honest and courteous frontline service in the bureaucracy.</div><br />

(MKFI), is a non-stock, non-profit, non-government organization dedicated to the promotion of literacy, poverty alleviation, and peace especially in Mindanao.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;">MKFI was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1991 and launched that same year. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;">The Magbassa Kita Foundation got its name from the “Magbassa Kita” literacy project, which former Senator Santanina T. Rasul launched in 1966. “Magbassa Kita is a Tausug phrase which means “let us read”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;">Its mission is anchored in the philosophy that literacy, education and economic empowerment are preconditions for the meaningful participation of individuals in society.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;">While maintaining literacy promotion as its major area of concern over the years, MKFI expanded its activities to include livelihood skills training, capability building among farmers, and other economic empowerment initiatives.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 10pt;">MKFI realized that changing the quality of life in Mindanao requires addressing the armed conflict and the unstable peace and order situation, Thus in 2001 it launched its peace advocacy program by training women from the areas of conflict as peace advocates and agents of change.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
