Candies Resto: LKKS Cagayan de Oro City

2006-09-22T07:02:00.000-07:00

If you are really into cakes you should try out Candies Resto at Lim Ket kai Mall here in CAgayan de Oro City. It is owned by CAny Lu who trained at Cordon Bleu. They really great cakes. At a glance the price is a bit on the high side for the fact that it is in the province but damn it is really worth every bit. They also serve great food aside from cakes. You should try the spare ribs. Very good.

The owner is a relative of Brian Jaime Lu. A double fraternity brother (DeMolay and Sigma Rho Fraternity). Most medical representatives buy there cakes her for the doctors. In fact on doctor demands that the cakes that he recieves should only come from Candies.

After he had dinner there, i brought Ann there and she like it. Specially the cake. Also brought Kimberly Ann in her birthday.

This is the usually meeting place of the Sigma Rho Fraternity monthly fellowship. REgular na kami dito.

If you prefer to dine alfresco they also have it.

Roadside Cafe: SM Cagayan de Oro City

Lately, we have been frequently been coming back to this resto at SM Cdo. So far they have good food. Nice ambiance. They have big servings. One time we ordered beef pochera. Damn, it was a mean pochero, we were not able to finish it. We had to take it home. The fries are big. The barbeque is good. The roast big was good. It was a big serving but the star anise was a bit strong for me. But Kimberly liked it. There was this another beef meal in a sizzling plate. It was quit good. I like the mushrooms and the sauce that came with it.

The Beef Pochero was so big that 4 more people were able to eat from it when we brought it home.

Wolverine origin ebook link

Wolverine Origin

May isa pa pala. Iba pala yung Wolverine: Origins. Parang part 1 daw tong Origin. 6 files lahat.

http://www.savefile.com/projects.php?pid=921083

Well, after 30-plus years, the comic book fans of America finally have an origin to put to Wolverine. The artwork by Adam Kubert and Richard Isanove is absolutely wonderful. Kubert's sense of storytelling is second to none and Isanove's gorgeous, lush painted-colors process is something I'd love to see more often.

The tagline on the inside cover to "Origin" describes the book as "The greatest Marvel story never told." Many fans, for years, insisted that it never be told: the beginnings of the mysterious, likable X-Man Wolverine. When Joe Quesada and Bill Jemas took over and Marvel Comics and reversed its almost 15-year downturn, one of their first projects was "let's do a story on the origins of Wolverine." Considered sacred ground - untreadable because part of Wolvie's appeal was his unknown past - the project was reluctantly, and then vigorously, accepted, with top minds from the Marvel universe turning in treatments.
"Origin" is the gorgeous final result of that process.

Somewhere in the 19th Century, on a massive estate in Canada, a young boy called "Dog" Logan escapes his father's drunken beatings by playing with James, the sickly child of the rich landowner in the House, and Rose, James' Irish nanny. The three forge a childhood bond broken too easily when class distinctions and family squabbles get in the way of their friendship. One night, the tensions come to a head when the three, now adolescents, are involved in a life-changing tragedy that leaves one horribly scarred, another without a memory and in possession of strange new abilities, and the third frightened for all three. Two of the friends flee into the night, while the third is left to pick up the pieces.

A quote on the back of the book compares "Origin" with "Watchmen" and "Maus," and suggests it will enter the annals of comic-dom's highest-regarded works. While it doesn't measure up to those examples, or to "V for Vendetta" or "From Hell," "Origin" is certainly worthy of praise and deserves a place next to "The Killing Joke," or "Batman: Year One." Kubert's illustrations are mind-bogglingly beautiful, managing to combine the serious nature of the story with the comic origins of the players without effort. The only complaint, and it is minor, is that the book seems short compared with similar series efforts. The story is told without becoming overlong, but the reader can't help but feel it could have been deeper and more involved. Overall, "Origin" is worth its price, and the hardcover book preserves the fantastic art in a great coffee-table format. Wolvie and X-Men fans will want to read it - unless, of course, you would rather not spoil the mystery, which is perfectly understandable.

Final grade: B+

Tatiana and the pug puppy

2006-07-20T21:07:00.000-07:00

Argh!

Puyat na naman kami ni Ann. Tagal na tulog si Tatiana. She keep on playing with us until 2am. I play his usual baby genius dvd para maka tulog, Ayaw pa rin.

He he he. Even if she sleep early, i will still be awake until 3am. Damn Internet. Its the main cause of my lack of sleep.

Another that is keeping me awake is the pup that i got as a puppy share. Its a pure pug. Sayang the mother has no PCCI registration papers. I never expected the bitch to get pregnant, because she is already old in terms of human years. Parts of her black mask has some white hair. I have to prepare milk for the puppy every 3 hours. It is just a little more than a month old. She is not weaned yet, that is why i had to bottle feed her. I also had to use a lactose free milk. Alagaan ko to. Sayang din. Its a pure pug. I could sell it for at least 10k-15k. Sige lang, in a few week i can sell her. Sayang tatiana really loves her.

Also last night over at Star Movie: Shall we dance. On the last part i dance with Tatiana. It seems that she likes to dance. He he he. Not the ballroom type. I think she likes hip-hop.

Biographical Sketch

Mrs. Patricia Mercado Velez was born in August 25, 1896 in Carmen, Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental , into the family of Zoilo Francisco Mercado and Pelagia Edmilao. She finished her primary education at the Carmen Primary School, her intermediate at the Misaamis Oriental Intermediate School, and her 2 year secondary at the Misamis Oriental High School (There were no third and fourth year classes at the time).

She was appointed teacher at the Carmen Primary School in 1915 for the newly opened Grade I and II classes. In 1917 she was transferred to the Cagayan Central School to teach music.

Cocay became Mrs. Mariano A. Velez, Sr., also of Cagayan on Novemeber 29, 1917. The fruits of the blissful union are 5 children, all boys, namely,

She became president of Cagayan Women’s club and Peuriculture Center League of Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon in 1953-58, during which she along with other equally active club members were able to put up the Peuriculture Center Building and the Maternity Hospital. She also helped in putting up Peuriculture centers in such municipalities of Misamis Oriental as Opol, Balingoan, Talisayan, Balingasag, Kinoguitan, Salay, Alubijid, Initao, and Manticao.

She carved her name in the then town of Cagayan (now Cagayan de Oro City) when she was elected no. 1 councilor in 1938. Following the demise of then Mayor Julio Pacana, Cocay assumed the position of vice mayor after having been extended an appointment for the second top position of the town by the Late President Manuel L. Quezon in 1940. She is the only woman since then to have been elected to the municipal council. (As of 1972)

During the Second World War, the Velez family fled to the hills where they worked, hand in hand with the guerilla forces. The older boys, Plutarco and Homer joined with the guerrillas. Mrs. Patricia Velez was elected chairman of the committee of procurement in Talakag, Bukidnon, the guerilla headquarters. Her task involved the solicitation of foodstuffs, clothing, medicines, and other materials for the guerillas as well as the quartering of evacuees from the enemy sector. Harassed by the Japanese, the guerillas were routed from their stronghold. The Velez family trekked down to the seacoast barrio of Lourdes (Alubijid), Misamis Oriental, where Mrs. Velez was elected supervisor of the Women’s Auxiliary Services a procurement arm of the guerilla movement in the area.

Much of the humanitarian work of Mrs. Patricia M. Velez has been inspired by her husband, Mariano A. Velez., who was born on September 8 1887, into the family of Alejandro Velez y Roa and Petrona Castro. A self made man, he started as a pier hand at the age of 15 and later worked as a clerk and paymaster. He had his ABC training during the Spanish regime. In January, 1906, he was appointed municipal teacher and soon became the principal of the Cagayan Central School. In 1907, he was promoted temporary insular teacher. A year later, he hurdled the Filipino Teachers Examination and became a regular insular teacher. In 1911, he quit teaching to devote his time to farming, planting coconuts, rice and corn and ranching. He still is a farmer and a businessman to boot.

“Itoy, as his friends called him, was appointed councilor of the municipality of Cagayan by the Misamis Oriental provincial board in 1912. Having seen the former Patricia Mercado and having fallen in love with her, Itoy pursued her until she said yes in 1917. In 1925, he was elected municipal vice mayor of Cagayan and was re-elected in 1928. He was elected chairman four times of the local Nacionalista Party in different election years. He still is a Nationalista, although an open minded one.

During the Japanese Occupation, Itoy served the resistance movement as chairman of the hauling of military supplies from the seacoast to Talakag, Bukidnon, furnishing the guerillas with 10 working carabaos and 10 men weekly, risking his life several times. When liberation came, he was appointed military mayor of Cagayan, and during his brief tenure of the office, Itoy refused to receive any salary offered by the American PCAU and military authorities.

He has been a Mason since 1911. He is at present a member of the Cagayan de Oro Rotary Club and the Knight of Rizal. He is also the chairman of the Local chapter of the Coconut Planters Association, vice chairman of the provincial council of the Coconut Planters Association and member of the national board of directors of the Philippine Producers Federation

Israel

2006-07-17T06:05:00.000-07:00

Israel

Some people does not appreciate what is currently happening in the Middle East today, specially on what is currently happening in Israel, Gaza and Lebanon. They don’t know that even if they are far away from the conflict they will eventually be affected.

Hey a few days ago the price of crude has shot up to $78 a barrel and has recently settle to $75 a barrel. If the tension will escalate, there could be a chance that the price will shut up to $100 a barrel. Shit. You could also add what is happening in Iran. Especially if Syria and Iran is drag into the conflict.

A funny thing happen between the meeting between GWB and VP. GWB has criticize Russia for its brand of democrary. Putin calmly reply “ We (Russia) would not want to have the democracy the US is promoting in Iraq.” You could hear the reporters laughting. You should also see the impression of Cedric the intertainer of GWB over at The Tonight Show. It was so true and funny. He was explaining and acting out GWB. GWB almost always appear surprised when appearing in TV.

Fiesta

2006-07-17T06:00:00.000-07:00

Fiesta

Yesterday was the fiesta here at Barangay Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City. Actually, we don’t really celebrate the fiesta like usual way today. Dili mi ga fiesta, kami ang ga-pang fiesta sa uban. He he he.

My dad abhors people who spend stravagantly for fiesta. Some people would sometimes borrow money just for them to celebrate. I also notice that the purpose of a fiesta has been kind of distorted. Not its all about food and alcohol. I fact in most fiesta you will see a lot of drunk people. As a result there are a lot of fighting. In our zone alone there has been 4 fights. Some also got shot and died (may have been shot by a distant relative), for making trouble. Is this the real reason why fiesta’s are celebrated. From what I know it is supposed to give thanks for the blessings that we have. The real purpose have been bastardize.

Cholesterol Filled Night

2006-07-14T16:21:00.000-07:00

Shit the puwit my high blood pressure. (Which i have not check for sometime already). We had a cholesterol filled night. At the night cafe (Divisoria, Cagayan de Oro, every Saturday and Sunday), we had a special Humba with hard boilded egg, sisig, siki and lechon kawali.

Just by looking at it makes me feel that my arteries are clogging up. The sisig (chopped pork face, with onion and chopped liver), it was not that good. They chopped it in big chunks. I prefer the one with smaller chunks and a bit on the crispy side. Just like the traditional pampanga sisig or the one at Trellis, Quezon City.

The siki, masarap ang sabaw. I could see the sebo on the top of the soup stock. CHOLESTEROL. Masarap na CHOLESTEROL.

Teka bakit pala masarap ang bawal.

It was the Humba/adobo that surprised me. They added something to the original/traditional recipe. I think it has star anise in it. It kind of taste like beef pares.

The funny thing was that we had to eat fast because it was starting to rain on us. I forgot to mention that we were dining in the city party al fresco.

Pug Puppy share

2006-07-14T16:09:00.000-07:00

2 days ago, i got my puppy share. The father is Bruno my pure pug stud. He has 18 red marks in his PCCI registration papers. Some of his fore parents are Philippine, Canadian and American Champions.

It turns out that the owner turned over the pup too early. Shit the pup has not yet been weaned yet. I had to bottle feed the pup every 3 hours. It has a big appetite for a small thing. Shit the puwit. And to think that i did not bottle feed my own daughter but i bottle feed this cute think. (Hey, my daughter is still cut.)

He he he. Sayang din. I had sell the cute thing before i get too attached. I could get at least 10-12 thousand. It is a pure pug, however the mother has no PCCI registration papers. If it has registration paper, i will be able to sell it for at least 15 thousand.

Cagayan de Oro Water District Bill

2006-07-09T23:17:00.000-07:00

Nakaka-asar gyud ning COWD. Sayo kaayo mag read sa meter tapos dugay kaayo mag hatud sa up to date na water bill. And then they would only give you 5 days to pay up. NOt like, sa CEPALCO which give you 15 days to settle the bill. DAmn. Shit talaga. Tapos if you are late you had to pay a 10% sur-charge. Another shit. Parang nag pa 5/6.

Sigma Rho Fraternity Central and Northern Mindanao Fellowship

2006-07-09T08:44:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, July 7, 2006, members of the Sigma Rho Central and Northern Mindano held a fellowship at Candy's Restaurant at Lim Ket Kai Mall Cagayan de Oro City.

This is the second fellowship that was organized by Lanao Sur Provincial Prosecutor Atty Aquil Tamano. Among the attendees was me (Titus Velez), Philhealth Assistant Vice President GA Datu Masiding Alonto, incumbent IBP president Atty Joel Cadiz, Aquil Tamano and Atty Jovy Bernabe (an IBP officer). There was another brod but i did not get his name. I was already drunk early on. San Miguel were flowing and the food at Candy was very good. We also have an important visitor who dropped by in the name of Misamis Oriental Governor Oscar Moreno (a Bedan). The assistant of Ding Alonto was also with us si Waway. It turn out that he is also a brother DeMolay from Iligan city.

A wife of a lawyer gave us a layer of cake. He were laughing because mahirap mag pulutan nang cake (white chocolate). In fairness naman, masarap ang cake. Si Candy (the owner) Lu studied at Cordon Blue. She is a cousin of another brod, Brian James Hao Lu of Cotabato/General Santos.

Speaking of Candy's you should try its cakes. I would recomend the baby back ribs, dehins puwede si Ding at Aquil nito. Its what i had the night before the fellowship. My niece had the porkchops. Hey its a bit expensive but one serving is good enought for 2 people. Sulit na rin. It would be haram for them. We had the Spinach pizza which was surprisingly very good. The gambas with olive oil and button mushroom sarap. The last 2 puwede sila Ding and Aquil.

Cheapest Optical Mouse in CDO

2006-06-29T10:05:00.000-07:00

I just bought a 3D optical mouse at CDR King. It is the cheapest availble optical mouse with warranty ha ha ha. It cost less that 200 pesos. The one i bought cost 150 pesos. There is still another one that cost around 120 pesos. The items that they sell cost much lesser that other stores. At other store i could have only bought a ordinary mouse. What i dont like about the ordinary mouse is that you have to regularly clean the ball and the roller from dirt or else the pointer will not follow where you point it. I know some people who threw away there regular mouse thinking that it is damage. They dont know that they could have cleaned the ball and the roller and the mouse is now revive.

CD-R KIng is a store that primaryly sells optical media and has now selling other items like optical mouse, refiller inks for printer, cd r and DVDr. I recently bougth a pack of photo paper. He he he. I had a fun time printing my photos specially the ones that i used photoshop.

I recently saw that they have started selling casing for digital camera. SHIT. I just bought one at SM and it cost me around 300. The ones at CDR King cost only around 120. And they look good.

The Omen 1976

2006-06-24T03:40:00.000-07:00

The Omen (1976) was shown over at Wowow channel around 12 midnight last night. Ka takot. This is a classic horror movie. It is much better than the remake. It stars the great actor Gregory Pick as the american ambassador Thorn. He is the father of Damien the anti-christ. The mother was played by Lee Rimick (hope i got the spelling right). This is the only movie of the child who played Damien. Although he made a cameo in the new version as one of the paparatzi. It must have been tough for him growing up with everybody thinking that he is the anti-christ.

The nanny was very scary. The dogs were also scary. The rotwielers really look like the guardian dog of the anti-christ.

Some mistakes:

1. In the cementery scene where the father discovered that his real son is dead and buried in a cementery in Italy. They were attack by a pack of visious rotwielers. You can see the handlers of the dog for a short time.

2. When the mother was thrown over the hospital window. You get to see that both her arms are waiving. However this is wrong because one of his arm was on a cast.

3. When the mother

The new version is almost exactly the same except of for its modern look and the attempt to co-relate the coming of the anti-christ with what is currently happening now.

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666." Book of Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 18

Cafe Laguna

2006-03-08T05:43:00.000-08:00

When Celso Mendoza went home for his vacation from the states. He invited us to Cafe Laguna at LKKS. I heard a lot about this resto. The food was fine. The Lengua was delicious and soft also the Kare kare. I was just disapointed sa grilled tangigue steak. Medyo matigas. Mukhang overcook.

We also tried to pair Celso with Michele Barte which we drag to the resto. He he he. Mind you they look good together.

Accident

2006-02-06T18:42:00.000-08:00

Damn! Pag-ninalas ka talaga. Last Sunday afternoon, when i was going back home from SM, i was involved in a traffic accident.

The brake of our pick-up bumigay. Tapos downhill pa. I was driving slow naman. Maybe, if i was going fast the damage would have been bigger pa. I tried to avoid the Toyota Revo. I swerve the Isuzu to the right (big mistake).

I hit a Mit Lancer on the driver side. Damn 2 doors damage. The Revo suffered a small dent on the bumper and on the rear door (small). The pick-up had a small dent on the left side of the hood. The signal light were busted on the left and the right.

The problem was that i didnt have a licence. Lesson number 1 renew your license. An expensive lesson at that. The repairs on both vehichles is 21k. Sa Karr Jackson ang repair. Hindi kasama sa bribe sa police. Gave him 500, but had to pay pa a penalty. Had to for the police report, for insurance purpose.

On our way home i discovered that the tires have been kind of misaligned. Shit!

Arnis Grand Master Arnulfo Mongcal aka "Opong"

2006-01-26T19:43:00.000-08:00

I use to remember Opong as our arnis instructor. He would come every Sunday morning to teach us the art of Arnis "Balintawak" style. We would just pay P 20 each. I that time i didnt know na GM pala siya. Wala kasing hangin. It turned out that he is a big name in the work of Arnis Balintawak style.

This is short biography of Grand Master Arnulfo Mongcal, based on interviews with him several years after he suffered a stroke, from which he never fully recovered.
Born in September 24, 1924 at Kabankalan, Bacolod, Arnulfo Mongcal was the second son of Hilario Mongcal and Agripina Lanquin-Mongcal. He has six brothers and a sister. He is the only member of the family who plays Arnis.
At a very young age, he was already a wrestler where his interests trace from his father who was a professional wrestler.Mongcal had a reputation as a blustering kid in his childhood days which was why he often got a fight with his classmates and with his elder brother. In elementary school, Mongcal once had a fight with a classmate, where his mate was into karate, but the fight resulted in a victory for Mongcal with a knockdown. From then on, Mongcal had interest in wrestling because of the experience that he had just fought with his mate and wrestled with him even without the use of his kicks.Though his father was reluctant to teach Mongcal wrestling and was worried that he might just use it to bully other kids, he finally submitted to the high interest of his son for the sport.
Mongcal came to Cebu at the age of twelve after his mother had died. He sought shelter from his uncle who was a younger brother of his mother.The family of his uncle had a farm. His uncle, Leonardo “Adot” Lanquin was a professional in Arnis. Mongcal asked a favor from his uncle to teach him Arnis and its techniques. His uncle only granted him the favor under the condition that he would work for them. Mongal agreed and became a helper in the agricultural land of his uncle and aunt and also did household work from then on.For almost four years, he trained with his uncle and managed to continue his studies where his only support were the allowances he received from his uncle. His uncle taught him the style of “Largo Mano”, which was an old style of the art, and the basics.
One day, Mongcal accidentally broke an antique aparador from his uncle and aunt. His aunt having had a very strict personality because of her Spanish roots, Mongcal left their place before his uncle and aunt would find out about the incident.From that time on, Mongcal has been an independant person seeking part-time jobs on different establishments for him to meet his own basic needs. He even had a janitorial work cleaning comfort rooms.

After a while of landing to different jobs, a relative helped him find a job. This was then the time when Mongcal worked for Cebu Stevedoring, customs for foreign vessels, which was situated at the seaport. He was just a helper in the company and of course earned not that much. So he continued to do side line jobs by teaching Arnis to his acquaintances at the port for extra money. At the same time, he continued his secondary studies. He studied at a night school at the University of Visayas were he graduated.
M ongcal stayed at the place of Teodula Magbulugtong’s aunt. Teodula also stayed at the same place where she was trying to finish her studies in college. This was where the two met and built a beautiful friendship which eventually blossomed into a stronger relationship. With such relationship, Mongcal had volunteered to support the financial needs of Teodula, especially in her studies.Everything went well for them, Teodula finished college and made it as a professional educator. This ended up with the two getting married.
While at Cebu Stevedoring, Mongcal was given quite a tough job as watchman. He was given an authority from his manager not to allow certain goods to pass through. An incident like this happened when a group of co-employees, who were not permitted to bring goods they bought, got irked at Mongcal’s order as directed to him from his boss.Then at dawn the following day, 18 persons from the group, headed by Dading Ebarita, tried to attack Mongcal. He was able to escape from them unprepared of the attack by jumping to the sea. For three days, he had cross-trained and then got back at them by three. He fought them with just bare hands, doing kicks and combat judo. Six of the 18 persons were able to escape from such surprise.
Mongcal continued to study Arnis on his own, until he met the Canetes who are relatives of his wife. He then trained with the Canetes.Then he met GM “Anciong” Bacon at the club at Balintawak. Mongcal’s first impression of GM Bacon while at the club at Balintawak was that Bacon was no good because he was short. Mongcal never expected GM Bacon was good in such art until he saw him “at work”. He had underestimated the grand master but it turned out that GM Bacon then became his teacher. GM Bacon taught Mongcal the “short cut” style and break of style. This style involves fatal blows on nerves and all methods and techniques which could use everything from fingers, fist, palm to head. The grand master also taught Mongcal “Punta y Daga” which involves fighting with a knife and stick. Mongcal carefully studied such kind of fight from what GM Bacon had taught him. He then developed his own style of knife fighting, for which he got the basics from his teacher.
After sparring with GM Bacon, when Mongcal went home, his wife would find him bleeding and with bruises on some parts of his body. His wife would cry seeing him like this so she tried to talk with GM Bacon. The grand master explained her that he had to make such hard strikes so that Mongcal could learn the effectiveness of the techniques being taught. He also said that it’s ok for him to be bleeding for Mongcal to be stronger.Mongcal describes GM Bacon to have had great dedication to the art of Arnis. He was very fast and had deadly strikes.During his studies under GM Bacon, Mongcal also sparred with Timoteo Maranga, Delfin Lopez and Villasin, who were their neighbours in Cebu. Mongcal also fought with the other good fighters in Cebu
Eventually, Mongcal developed his own style. One of its specific characteristics is launching a series of strikes (usually about 3-4) after an opponent makes a single strike. Mongcal had studied and observed the different styles of his opponents or the people he had sparred with in order to be able to learn more and improve his own skills and to develop a deep knowledge on the art.
It was now time to move on with life and so Mongcal and his wife had to settle in Cagayan de Oro. Around 1962, he found a job at Phil. Packing Corp. (PPC) as a security guard. He volantarily taught Arnis to twelve of his co-employees. He even taught the top offiicials of the company. One late afternoon, about 28 co-employees of Mongcal from just nearby towns of Agusan, Baloy and Tablon attacked him. The disturbance was due to envy of his co-employees for Mongcal because he was given special treatment from his boss at the same time he taught the art to his bosses. Mongcal was also known in the said company because in times of trouble, his local and foreign employers would call him to handle such situation. Mongcal together with Teodulfo Dorado, a co-employee of PPC, would try to calm any fight that arises from the employees of the company.The attack at that one afternoon caught Mongcal empty-handed at first till he was quick to remove his own belt and found a fire wood which he then used to fight with the attackers. The fight had created such commotion that it had caught attention from the barangay official, Ramon Jabar, who shouted “Tama na Opong!” (“Stop Opong!”). It was only then that the fight reached an end. Mongcal’s wife saw the incident at a distance from their house but was not worried as she knew the capabilities of her husband.Among those who attacked Mongcal were Yacapin, Riti and Abroguena. All were co-employees of Mongcal at Phil. Packing.
M ongcal was laid off in 1968 because he was blamed to head an employee union (ALU). But Mongcal was not really a member because he said the union was composed of employees from Cebu.After being jobless for a few months, Mongcal continued to teach Arnis and Puro Velez was then his current student.

Mr. Velez had introduced Mongcal to Governor Concordio Diel . He became the bodyguard of Gov. Diel. Mongcal was sent to Manila to study photography for him to be the official photographer of Gov. Diel on every occasion. When Gov. Diel’s term expired, he was then a mayor. Mongcal was then transferred to Puerto Market and became its chief security guard.
B y 1979, Mongcal had joined and attended the national Arnis competition in Manila. He had a match with a participant from Bacolod in which Mongcal broke his opponent’s stick. There were two draws and on the third match, Mongcal won. Finally, he won second, next to the National Champion Ciriaco “Cacoy” Canete. Mongcal stayed in Manila for a week and Pres. Marcos gave all the participants P100.0 each day for pocket money. They were also given a Barong Tagalog. As Mongcal returned home from the competition, he was welcome by Mayor Canoy with a band.
In 1982, a special award was given to Mongcal from Doce Pares Phils. and the National Arnis Association of the Philippines (Naraphil). A “Master Award of Appreciation” was sent to him which was signed by Eulogio Canete, Pres. of Doce Pares, and Gen. Fabian Ver, Pres. of Naraphil. The award cited Mongcal’s untiring and unselfish effort in the revival, promotion and further development of theFilipino martial arts of Arnis. For Mongcal, it was a great honor to receive the award.
In 1987, Mongcal had a neighbour whose friend from Bukidnon was an eskrimador whose knowledge in Arnis was the old style. The said eskrimador challenged Mongcal on a surprise visit. The eskrimador was bragging that he has greater skills than Mongcal. But Mongcal didn’t ask for a fight, instead he just defended himself from the eskrimador. After just two moves, the boastful eskrimador found himself disarmed under a large dining table. Hurt and ashamed, the eskrimador and Mongcal’s neighbour left at an instant. Mongcal can only shake his head for such display of arrogance
As far as Grand Master Mongcal can remember, his teacher Grand Master Bacon had told him that he was a fast learner and considered him to have a “golden hand” which is at par with karate’s “golden legs”, which means the player is adept to the footworks of karate.
Grand Master Mongcal always made a point to tell his students that they may cherish his works. He encouragd them to a continuing research and development of the art of Arnis. He had taught his students good and had inculcated in their minds that the art is used only to defend one’s life.
Although tear’s roll down on Grand Master Mongcal’s cheeks when he remembers the past, he knows he has done his best in Arnis and has contributed to the development of the art, for he knows how much dedication and will he had for the art. This is how Grand Master Mongcal would like to be remembered by his students and the rest of the eskrimadors.

Ambot walay lingaw lang

Pat arrive from Manila with Atty Soriano. They are staying at Lauremar Hotel at Opol, Misamis Oriental. They are here because there is a court hearing this Monday, Manus et. al vs. Puro Velez for specific performance. They went to Makahambus cave. I think they tried the new features in Makahambus. There is a hanging bridge and a zip line. At least they were brave enough for the two. Takot sila sa rappelling. He he he.

They later went to play golf sa Del Monte. Tapos on the way back nasira ang injection pump sa pick-up. They had time to relax because when they went to the regional trial court the hearing was actually postponed by the presiding Judge (the Honorable Judge Lloren) because of an emergency. They just serve the motion/notice of my fathers death. Hay mukhang kami ang e-substitute sa kaso, because my father just recently died.

They went back to Manila kanina.

Kami we are preparing for Tatiana’s birthday tomorrow. Salamat sa mga donors, Nang Sylvia gave a case of coke and pig for the lechon. Honey gave ingredients for spaghetti. Kimbo and Ching will give ice cream. Her auntie Joan will also give her a party, her son has the same birthday with Tatiana.

Hay, ang bilis lumaki nang bata. Last year ang liit pa nya. Karon dako na kaayo. His tita pedia said na maybe giant na baby. Maayo na mo kaun. He also likes vegetables and food with soup. Her hair is starting to get long na.

Already went to Divine Shepherd to pay extra for the lapida because the engraving ask for extra charge. Medyo mataas ang poem na gusto ni Pat na e-lagay. Hindi pa tapos ang lapida.

Also found a way to communicate with Tita Precy Marban who is in New Jersey, she is the wife of Tito Mark Marban. I got her e-mail address in the forum for people from Bantayan Island. He he he. Sabi niya my niece Tiny is no longer Tiny. She still remember us. We use to stay in their condo in Makati during weekends when we were still studying in Manila. Kimbo stayed there when he was studying in La Salle. Tita Precy I think is a former CPA board top-notcher. I don’t know what her rankink was.

Tatiana Aleshanee's 1st Birthday

2006-01-12T06:37:00.000-08:00

This coming 1/18/2006 will be Tatis 1st birthday. Hay, wala gyud me money for her birthday. Hindi na uso ang birthday ngayon. Thank God, it will be the fiesta of Gitagum, Misamis Oriental. Libre na. Tapos a cousin of Ann who has a son with the same birthday and age of Tatis offered to sponsor her a birthday.

Went to the Misamis Oriental Capitol grounds kanina. May "TABU". Actually it was more on an agri fare. It was great. Each municipality of the province has a both and some companies have there booth too. Amazing are those giant goats from abroad. They are amazing in size and smell. God, they smell so bad. Another amazing thing is there price. Some goats are being sold at a very high price. Like a brahman cow for the ranch of Bernales cost about 50k but one large goat cost 60k-70k.

Bought some veges direct and some home made ginamus. Sarap nang ginamos.

Tatiana Aleshanee Velez

2005-12-29T22:44:00.000-08:00

This is my daughters name. She was born last January 18, 2005 via C-section. After 8 years of trying. My father makes asar to me na i dont know how to make one. My father also requested that I have an offspring before he goes away, because among his sons I am the only one who does not have an offspring. In fact almost a year after her birth my father died peacfully in his sleep after suffer from paralysis due to a massive stroke way back in 1996.

According to her Tita/Pedia (Dr. Patricia Gaid), she is a big girl. She has been a blessing to us. She has brought so much joy to us specially to her lolo. Yun lang, I seems that my dad signified that he want a baby boy. It will be hard work. He he he. Considering that Ann has a rheumatic heart disease. Two of her heart valves need replacement/repair. At least Dr. Alagadaan has given us a go signal na okay lang.

Tito Cocoy would joke that her nose is not that of the Velez. Her Tito Pat has pledge to finance any enhancement in the future. Her mother would plead to us to stop joking her with regards to the nose. In fairness naman, may nose bridge. Mu-taas pa siguro na.

Dogs:Pug & GSD

2005-12-28T03:43:00.000-08:00

This is what it looks like if a male pug tries to f_ck a female GSD in heat. Ilusyonado.

The pug is Bruno a champline pug. The female GSD is Dzeba a german working line GSD.

Bawi na nako ang cost ni Bruno. I got him for only 16k. When i processed his PCCI papers it turned out that he comes from a champion line. So his paper has 18 red marks. Which means that he has a very nice geneology. Some of his grandparents are American champions. His line comes for Rebel run Kennel.

I offer stud service sa Pug. I act as the shooter. It can be very a profitable business. One of the bitch that he mated last October gave birth to 9 purebred pug pugs. This is bitch of Jojo Lastimosa's sister. This is a very unusual number of litter.

Dogs. There is nothing like a wet nose and a wagging tale to greet you when you arrive home. Our dogs has help us cope with our daily problems. More on emotional ang help nila. Like when, my wife had a miscarraige Abbey our mix pug keep her company and help her through depression. He he he. They are also my natural alarm clock. They would wake us up when they start playing early in the morning. They sometime provide use with some comic relief. They also provide us with some extra income. One of our dogs gave us 10 pups. And this is some substancial amount.
