My Last Post for the Year 2008

Give us the kindness to hear with compassion,
to offer support,
loving comfort, and care.

Give us the courage to do what is needed,
the wisdom to choose
what is right and fair.

Give us the vision to see what is possible.

Give us the faith
that will help pave the way
for a present that is hopeful,
a future that is peaceful -

Give us a heart to bring joy to each day.

Inday's Potluck

Dumalaw ang pamilya Montemayor sa kanilang kumare at kumpare na kapitbahay para mag-celebrate ng post-Christmas lunch. Potluck ang usapan kaya nagbaon ng pagkain ang pamilya.

Pagbukas ng pinto ay sinalubong sila ni kumare.

Kumare: Amiga!! you’re just in time halos kumpleto na ang pagkain natin. May pansit, lechon, hipon… ano ba yang dinala mo?

Mrs.: Kumare eto o Maja Blanca for dessert!

Kumare: Uyyy dessert… sinong gumawa?

Mrs: Ako syempre, kagabi lang yan!

Kumare: Ahh ganun ba? (parang na-dismaya)

Tinawag ang maid nila.

Kumare: Ederlyn!!

Ederlyn: Ano po yun ati?

Kumare: Kunin mo itong Maja Blanca at ilagay mo dun sa mesa sa tabi kasama ng fruit salad.

Ederlyn: Opo ati. (kinuha ang Maja Blanca at umalis)

Kumare: Baka meron ka pang tinatagong iba dyan mare?

Mrs.: Ha… baket? Kulang ba yung handa?

Umentra si Inday na nasa likod nila Mr. and Mrs. Montemayor at may dalang pagkain na nakalagay sa loob ng stainless steel na container.

Kumare: Ohhhh kasama niyo pala si Inday. (mukhang natuwa)

Kumare: Inday ano yang dala mo?

Inday: Oh just something I concocted earlier before we went here just in case the feast today lacks oomph.

Nilapag ni Inday sa mesa ang dala at binuksan.

Inday: Nothing special, just salt-roasted potatoes sprinkled with Gross El, a coarse grey salt that is quite popular in France. It’s tasty yet not overpowering which is what a side dish should be.

Kumare: (nanlake ang mga mata) OOhhh…. perfect!! Pwede!! (tuwang tuwa)

Kumare: Ederlyn!! Pakilagay itong dala ni Inday sa gitna ng mesa katabi ng lechon. Ayusin mo rin yung food lamp ng lechon ha para mailawan din ito.

Mrs. (mukhang nalugi at siniko si Mister) Sabi sayo wag na naten isama si Inday eh! Kahit ako na lang ang magbantay kay Junior.

Hope you guys had a satisfying Christmas meal!

‘Juana Change’ blasts Charter change

Juana Change (real name, Mae Paner) pretended to be a lawmaker pushing Charter change in exchange for money, an apparent spoof of allegations the administration has been bribing lawmakers to support amendments to the Constitution, ostensibly to extend President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's term.

Inday on: Pacquiao vs De La Hoya match

Sama-samang nanonood ng laban nila Pacquiao at De La Hoya ang pamilya Montemayor sa 50″ Plasma TV. Kasama ring nanonood si Inday.

Junior: Wow ate Inday buti magkaibigan kayo ni Pacman. Napakabitan tuloy tayo ng Pay-per-view ng libre!

Tuwang tuwa ang pamilya at nakakanood sila ng laban ng Live. Nagsigawan sila sa tuwing nakaka-connect si Pacman sa kanyang mga suntok. Nainis sila nung inipit ni De La Hoya ang braso ni Pacquiao upang makalibre ng suntok. At nagpalakpakan at naghiyawan nang sumuko na si De La Hoya sa simula ng 9th round.

Pagkatapos ng post-game announcements and interview…

Inday: Ok ok, fight’s over! I would like to rest now so kindly exit my room.

Mr. and Mrs.: Sige na nga, salamat ulit Inday at nakanood kami sa TV mo.

Junior: Thank you ate Inday!

Inday: You’re all welcome.

Kinagabihan, narinig ni sir na may kausap si Inday sa telepono.

Inday: … your interview. We should converse more so that you’d be more comfortable answering those questions in English… Yeah… Ok… You too… Congrats again! Take care! (sabay baba ng phone)

Sir: Si ano ba yun… si..?

Inday: Yeah it’s Manny calling from his hotel asking if I saw his fight.

BLAG! Hinimatay si sir.

Immaculada Concepcion

The Immaculate Conception is, according to Roman Catholic dogma, the conception of the Virgin Mary without any stain ("macula" in Latin) of original sin. It is sometimes also called the Immaculata, also in artistic contexts. The dogma thus says that, from the first moment of her existence, she was preserved by God from the lack of sanctifying grace that afflicts mankind, and that she was instead filled with divine grace. It is further believed that she lived a life completely free from sin. In the words of Pope Pius XII in Mystici Corporis, "she was free from any personal or hereditary sin" Her immaculate conception in the womb of her mother, by normal sexual intercourse, should not be confused with the doctrine of the virginal conception of her son Jesus.

The feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrated on December 8, was established as a universal feast in 1476 by Pope Sixtus IV. He did not define the doctrine as a dogma, thus leaving Roman Catholics freedom to believe in it or not without being accused of heresy; this freedom was reiterated by the Council of Trent. The existence of the feast was a strong indication of the Church's belief in the Immaculate Conception, even before its 19th century definition as a dogma.
