Once upon a time in a village somewhere, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act as buyer, on his behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant ...

Together with my community, we were able to visit the smallest volcano in the world inside its crater. Imagine that! That was amazing! It was awesome! Superb! ... The place was so peaceful, i feel like i'm in paradise.. you will see how wonderfully it was made from inside the crater. all we know, volcanos are violent but on this case, it was heaven...Its beauty was made out from the gusty, fearful and deadly works of nature. Now it is a place where you can find peace and serenity. Soon i'll be posting some of my pictures, I don't have it for the moment because i left it in Manila, I'm in Negros by the way. i arrived here last September 8. So far, in happy in my stay here in Negros. I was able to see the people here once again especially the community, the carmel youth and to all the people whom i knew when i was here last summer. For now i was given a task to revive the parish youth here. I am happy with the task given to me. Here i can fully give what i have. Although ...

My scheduled date of departure for Negros was changed. So by next Monday (Sept. 8), i'll be flying to Negros. For the moment, i've been going to Bagong Silangan in our inserted community. i feel at home every time i go there, people are so warm, i'm enjoying there company. i'll be staying in Escalante for about three months. Though it is only for a while, still i'm going to miss the people in Bagong Silangan. Last night we brought the choir of San Isidro Parish in Bagong Silangan in a recording studio to record a song composed by our priest Fr. Aries and was arrange musically by our brother Sheldon. they were very excited for it was their first time to record a song. (i also did record a song there last year, though i feel like my voice is only for my own consumption, lol!) i was happy seeing there faces full of excitement. I would say this choir has a potential of becoming popular soon, i tell you!!!hehehe... 'till here for the moment, i still have to buy some ...
