Womanlalaboy’s Travel Guide to Mt. Manalmon and Mt. Gola

SUMMARY

Elevation: 196+ MASL (Mt. Manalmon); 192+ MASL (Mt. Gola) Jump- off: Sitio Madlum, Brgy. Sibul, San Miguel Days / hours to summit: Half-day Climb: Minor Difficulty: 2/9 Trail class: 1-2 Features: Beautiful landscapes with various terrain types, a view of the Madlum River, with access to 2 caves

Type of Travel: Package and DIY Date of Travel: Jul 27-28, 2019 Duration: 2D1N Budget: P 1100 - 1500

If you want a climb that is filled with adventure and a variety of sights, Malmon-Gola twin hike is just right for you.

Both are nestled within the protected area of Biak Na Bato National Park. The trail leads to bamboo forests, grasslands and rock formations. There are areas that need to be climbed with the aid of ropes, including Mt. Manalmon’s peaks. Side trips are available for adventure junkies and history enthusiasts. You can sample the Bayukbok Caves and the Madlum cave. You can also go to Madlum River for a dip, and try the monkey bridge.

To get from Mt. Malmon to Mt. Gola, hikers will have to cross the Madlum River with water raising up to chest level when raining and with current strong enough to pull anyone of any size. But if the weather’s on your side, this twin hike would be very easy for any beginner. Some would even call it a ‘pabebe’ hike, but never when the conditions change. Like what people always say, “never underestimate a mountain.”

HOW TO GET THERE

Commute from Manila: Take a bus from Pasay or Cubao terminals to Cabanatuan (Baliwag Transit, ES Transport, and Five Star Transport) > drop off at Brgy. Kamias, San Miguel, Bulacan > Ride a tricycle to Brgy. Madlum

Private car: NLEX > Take Sta. Rita exit > Follow the road to Cagayan Valley, passing by Plaridel,Pulilan, Baliuag, San Rafael and San Ildefonso > At San Miguel, ask directions for Brgy. Madlum

It should only take 2-3 hours to get to Bulacan from Manila, but you should always give more allowance to heavy traffic especially when it pours. We were lucky enough to pass through EDSA with ease, but we encountered heavy traffic along Nueva Ecija and Bulacan so it took us about 6 hours to get to the Jump off from Cavite.

ITINERARY

Day 1 10:00 AM – ETD Lumina, Imus 02:00 PM – ETA in Sitio Madlum 06:00 PM – Pitch Tent 07:00 PM – Dinner 09:00 PM – Light's off Day 2 04:00 AM – Wake up Call 05:30 AM – Start Trek to Mt. Manalmon 06:30 AM – Summit Manalmon 07:30 AM – Descend 09:00 AM – Summit Mt. Gola 10:30 AM – Descend 12:00 PM – Lunch 02:00 PM – Monkey Bridge 03:00 PM – Bayukbuk Cave 04:00 PM – Swimming @madlum, River 05:00 PM – Break camp 06:00 PM – Post Climb 10:00 PM – ETA Lumina Imus

It was pouring rain when we arrived at Sitio Madlum, so we had a hard time following the itinerary. We’re just lucky to be spared by the weather every time we get to a peak. It’s as if the Gods are giving us time to take photos and enjoy the scenery. We’re really glad for moments like the above photo where the sky started to clear out and we just rested for a fer minutes to marvel at the beauty of the entire Biak Na Bato.

Before our actual hike, we had an outreach program and there’s supposed to be a tree planting activity included in the itinerary, but we ran out of seedlings to use. There was a huge tree planting event before our hike so there were nothing left for us to plant, but we’ve successfully executed the distribution of food, school supplies and slippers to the kids of Sitio Madlum, so all was well except for when we had to descend from Mt. Gola. Our guide opted to change our route. We followed the river instead of crossing it in that condition. Being prepared for situations like this proved to be very essential so I’ve listed below the things you may want to consider.

THINGS TO BRING

Head lamp or Flashlight

Rain jacket (depending on the weather)

Sun Block Lotion & Insect Repellent

Food (Lunch, Snacks, and Trail Food)

Water (2-3 liters)

Extra Clothes

Trekking Clothes, Shoes or Sandals

Gloves

Bonnet/Head Gear/Scarf/Malong

Garbage bag

Sun Protection (hats, headgear, sunglasses, sleeves)

Personal Medicine and First Aid Kit

Personal Toiletries

Tent

Cook set

Portable stove

Spoon,fork,plates,mugs/tumbler

FAQs

Is there mobile signal in the area? Yes, even at the peak, but thunderstorm and heavy rains usually affect the signal at the foot of the mountain.

Are there stores in the camp site? Yes. There are a few stores there that offers the usual sari-sari store stuff. You can also reserve your lunch or dinner at Tata Carding’s.

Are there comfort rooms in the area? At the camp site, yes. And there are fees. P5 for change of clothes, P20 for taking a bath, P10 for taking a dump and P5 for when you need to pee.

Is there a parking are? They don’t have an organized parking area. We parked our vans near the hanging bridge.

Are the guides required? Yes. P300 per guide for 5 pax.

Can you hike both mountains in just a day? Definitely! if you’re a beginner or with beginners, 2hrs tops and you’ll reach one peak. If your group is pretty fit, you’ll do good with an hour of trek, but things can get really challenging when it pours.

NOTES

As always, practice LNT (Leave No Trace). We are mere visitors. Let’s respect the place and its people by taking with us what we brought there. You might get tempted to dump your waste in their trash bins or makeshift trash bags, but please be mindful that what you bring in the place aren’t supposed to be there. Dispose of your own trash.

Kill nothing but time, take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

When in doubt, practice UPS (Upo Para Safe) and GPS (Gapang Para Safe). For some, steep areas can get very tricky and dangerous, so sit or crawl if you need to.

Establish a good relationship with your co-hikers and guides just because :)

Camp if your schedule and itinerary can allow you. Their campsite is by the river and it gets so majestic at night when the moon reflects on the surface of the water.

Communicate with your body. This twin hike is supposed to be easy, but it can get really dangerous when it rains.

Hiking these two mountains are best done with fun friends and to maximize your stay, swim; enjoy the caves and do the monkey bridge. The site has so much to offer than just hiking Gola and Manalmon, but for me, the sight of luscious bamboo forest, carabaoes living the life, and seeing wild dragonflies again are more than enough to compensate the hassle of camping and hiking whilst raining.

MODULE 3: Barangay San Dionisio by Chelsea Faei Tamayo

Last December 14, Saturday, early in the morning I prepared to go to Parañaque all the way from my dormitory at España, Manila. I was really excited because it felt like a mini adventure for me. There, I went to the barangay hall of Barangay San Dionisio to interview their BDRRMC about the disaster risk reduction and management of their area. Unfortunately, the BDRRMC isn’t there. But the desk officer advised me that I can just go to his house, which is just nearby, so I can push through with the quick interview. The desk officer drew a sketch on how to go there, and so I followed it and went there.

After knocking on their gate several times, I felt nervous thinking what if the BDRRMC refuses to get interviewed there, or at this hour in the morning. But a kind lady opened the gate for me, said I should come in and wait for the BDRRMC to prepare. I waited in their balcony, and can’t help but notice the fresh air. I also saw a bunch of kids having fun together, playing. I also observed how clean their area is, there was none to very minimal trash scattered.

The BDRRMC came with a smile as he introduced his self. His name is Rodolfo Miranda Santos, a kagawad, BDRRMC, and chairman of peace and order in Barangay San Dionisio.

The interview felt like a kwentuhan for me, it was very light and I discovered a lot about their place regarding the DRRM matter. He said that after all the typhoons that came by to or country, Paranaque didn’t encounter any serious problems. However, he and his team, as well as the Chairman, in Barangay San Dionisio are on high alert for almost 24-hours during times like that. Their rescuers and volunteers, and first-aiders are always prepared. Three evacuation centers in their barangay are also ready. They are always updated on PAGASA to know any possible catastrophic events that might occur, because according to him, PAGASA is the only one in the Philippines who knows when a calamity might occur. Fortunately, barangay San Dionisio rarely experiences any great tragedy during times of calamity since they can still fight against it. As what Kagawad said, “Hindi pa nila (residents) naramdaman kung paano sila babangon kasi hindi pa naman sila nadapa.” However, if rougher times might occur, he thinks the most affected area in their barangay would be the Lupang Pangarap in Tramo Uno, given that it is located in a low and squatter area. This saddens him, that’s why he always makes sure that he and his team, specifically the rescuers, are always prepared to do rescue actions. He also recalled a situation where fifteen family residents behind SM Sucat, where a creek is nearby, are rescued and are evacuated to Palanyag gym. They took care of them, fed them, and gave medical assistance for more or less 3 days. Besides Lupang Pangarap and the area behind SM Sucat, he also mentioned that Gatchalian phase 2-C are prone to floods, however, since it is a subdivision, they have their own logistics who can provide them immediate care, but another problem found there is transportation. Just this last typhoon named Tisoy, Gatchalian phase 2c experienced a waist-high flood, and the people couldn’t get out of their homes immediately. Kagawad said that this is something they’ve been trying to study, to see what they can do to help. The barangay hasn’t really experienced a bad effect or downfall with their economy and also in infrastructures. When need of evacuation, there are three gyms available: Palanyag gym, which is located at avery high area, gym at the old barangay, and lastly a gym in their barangay which is unfortunately close to a river, that is only used when the river is calm and on low tide. If these three aren’t enough, there are still other gyms inside the subdivisions in barangay San Dionisio that are open for evacuation. One thing that worries Kagawad though, is that barangay San Dionisio can be in danger of the big 2, the equivalent of tsunami. Given that San Dionisio is on a coastal area, where can the people pass through if ever the big 2 occurs? They can’t travel through Las Piñas, as it is a coastal area as well, same with Pasay. That leads the people to pass through San Isidro, Sucat which is the safest option. They can’t get there on time considering that tsunamis move as fast as a jet. Another thing that concerns him is that if an earthquake damages the subdivision near Sucat, since there is a fault line there. Its damages can likely affect the nearby areas in their barangay. That’s why they conducted an information dissemination regarding first aid and CPR to be ready. Every week, they go down to areas just to disseminate information to people. They do have a lot of programs and seminars regarding DRRM, including a lot of sectors in their barangay, like the chairman, and his self who is the BDRRMC and the chairman of peace and order, and as well as the participation of the residents. They conduct meetings to discuss the best effective way to help the each and every one during times of calamity.

Cru Steakhouse Puts Everything in Reverse With The Upside Down Dinner

What would you do if you entered a fancy restaurant and saw your table in disarray, with utensils and table settings scattered all over? What if you were so hungry and ready to eat your U.S. Angus Steak, but then it’s your dessert that arrives first! You can’t even read the menu properly because the words are in reverse. It’s a crazy topsy-turvy affair as CRU Steakhouse in Manila Marriott brings you the Upside Down Dinner.

CRU Steakhouse has been one of the most prestigious and well-loved restaurants in Manila ever since it opened at Marriott Manila in 2010, but nothing can prepare you for what you will see when you arrive for their Upside Down Dinner. This unique, one-of-a-kind dining event is available every Thursday dinner at CRU Steakhouse for P2,800 nett per person and it is an experience everyone will be talking about. Get ready to toss out all your expectations as Marriott Manila puts it all on reverse.`

CRU Steakhouse is one of the most romantic places to bring your dinner date, but you might think you entered the wrong restaurant when you arrive for your Upside Down Dinner. You will be surprised to see your table in a mess, with cutleries in disarray, the water glass half-empty, and table napkins unfolded, as if someone had just eaten there!

The Upside Down Dinner is more than just a four-course meal. It is a unique dining experience from start to finish that no one has ever done here before. Marriott Manila is always cutting edge when it comes to creating memorable gastronomic events. Remember Dinner in the Dark? That was when I had to eat my steak while wearing blindfolds! The Upside Down Dinner is another creative idea from Marriott Manila.

The craziness actually starts when you enter the restaurant and are greeted with a box of macarons or a bottle of signature cocktail as your farewell gift. That’s actually a nice way to begin this adventure.

You will find a menu for your four-course meal on the table. The problem is that the words are all written in reverse! That’s where the accompanying mirror comes in handy. Place it at the right angle and you can read the mouthwatering dishes in the reflection.

Oh, here comes the bill! Yes, the bill will come first even before you have had a single bite! That’s not exactly fun, but that is what you will have to expect. The good thing is that the complimentary parking pass is already included here so you won’t have to ask for it later.

Care for some coffee or tea? You will get this question from the servers to start your dinner.

Here comes the first dish, and of course, it’s a dessert. The Noisette Exotique is a dome-shaped hazelnut dacquoise or dessert cake made with almond lemon crumble, praline-noisette mousse, yuzu cremeux, orange passion compote, and covered with yellow exotic glacage.

Kids will absolutely love the Upside Down Dinner because they can have their dessert to start their meal. Parents always tell their children they can only get dessert after they eat their main courses, but here that’s not the way it goes.

The Hazelnut cake is actually a big and filling serving, with hints of sour and sweet notes to jumpstart your palate. It might seem a little weird to start off with a sweet and tangy dessert item, but once you bite into it, you just can’t stop eating. The fruity elements go well with the dish, so you can think of it as a salad in a way.

The Main Course comes next and no one is complaining. This is the Rosemary Crusted U.S. Angus Beef Tenderloin served with potato puree, brown butter glazed vegetables and pink peppercorn sauce.

CRU Steakhouse has always been known for its premium, high-quality imported steaks. They were one of the first restaurants in Manila to use a dry aging technique for their beef, giving it more pronounced flavors.

The 180-gram steak is cooked medium, so you can still see the pinkish meat. Because of this, the beef remains tender, with its juices overflowing. The rosemary herbs on its crust also give it a unique flavor combination. As expected, this is one of the best steaks you can ever find in the city, which is why CRU has always remained as one of the top steakhouses in Manila and my own personal favorite.

Since this is the Upside Down Dinner, the soup course comes after the main course. The Tomato Espresso is served on a tiny espresso cup together with a Guyere Pudding Toast. The warm tomato soup with its frothy top is actually a good post-steak item, since it will be good for digestion.

This also comes with CRU Steakhouse’s signature three-flavored bread made of tomato, parmesan, and spinach then served with herb butter and Davao cheese spread. This can act as a filler for those who may not yet be full by this time.

The last course is the appetizer, which really does look more like a dessert. The Crab and Apple Salad is made of cherry tomato glaze, pine nut gremolata and avocado mousseline crème fraiche. Open it up and you will find a savory filling that will provide a good finish to your unique dinner.

Once you finish your courses, the server then comes to your table to welcome you to CRU Steakhouse. Can you believe that? The Upside Down Dinner is available every Thursday starting July until December for P2,800 nett per person. Reservations are required if you wish to experience this one of a kind dinner, because they will have to make a mess of your table first before you arrive. You wouldn’t want to sit on a clean table, right? If you are thinking of a place to celebrate a special occasion, bring your date here and surprise her with the Upside Down Dinner. I’m sure it will be a night he or she will never forget.

Tagaytay Misadventures

This is actually, a funny story.

And if you have a little time to spare let me treat you into a little story of how to go to Tagaytay without a sleep with only over 1,300 PHP for a couple on a sudden impulsive decision that we need to go to Tagaytay.

Long time ago, in a far away kingdom of Cubao, Quezon City. I’m kidding, so here’s what really happened. Dan and his highschool buddies decided to meet up for it has been a long time since they hanged out. They wanted to just chill, wander around Cubao, the place that has been part of their entire lives.

That was my first time meeting them because Dan decided that it’s time for me to meet them. We went to Gateway Mall and met with Adi, Dan’s long time friend since high school. Adi is one of the most relaxed persons you’ll ever meet. He can blend naturally and has this good sense of humor.

Jeff arrived late since he fell asleep during his trip. Jeff is Adi’s bestfriend since second year highschool. And he happened to become Dan’s friend because of his connection to Adi.

Alright, the trio’s complete! They call themselves, Talong Social Club. A complete mockery of the famous ‘Anti-Social Social Club’ thing that suddenly became famous for being aesthetic.

Okay, long story short, my friends. We went out, had a little drink and play billiards. I mean, they played, I don’t know how to play billiards and out of nowhere decided to go to Tagaytay because they missed their misadventures.

Everyone agrees so five in the morning we will be leaving for Tagaytay after going home late from that chill out. I don’t have any sleep, Dan was able to sleep for merely an hour and so was the Adi and Jeff.

Now, my dears, don’t expect something grand because Dan and I literally went to Tagaytay with only a little over 1,300 PHP. AND THAT’S FOR THE TWO OF US.

That right there is the proof of my poverty. Ha-ha!

First Stop: Jollibee Manhattan

Our first stop was Jollibee Manhattan, this was where we decided to meet up. Adi was the one who arrived first followed by me and Dan. Our call time was five in the morning however we were able to leave the place past six in the morning for Jeff arrived late because he overslept.

Now, here’s the thing, there used to be a bus terminal in Cubao that would take you to Tagaytay however when we went to that bus terminal, people told us that it was transferred in Pasay! (If I remembered correctly). And now, we began searching for another way to go to Tagaytay.

This is the time where mobile data is pretty reliable and thank God, Jeff has mobile data.

Even though internet kept on telling us to take a bus from the terminal that no longer exist, we stopped and think of other ways to get there. And we ended up riding a bus to get to Star Mall Shaw.

Money Spent: Jeepney Fare - 16 php, Jollibee breakfast for two - 300 PHP, Bus fare - 24 PHP

Second Stop: Star Mall Shaw

It’s raining a little when we got off the bus. We arrived at Star Mall Shaw because Dan suggested that we can go to Tagaytay via UV Express at the said mall. Upon arriving we asked around and we can indeed get to Tagaytay but not straight to Tagaytay. We needed to ride a UV going to Balibago then ride a jeepney there straight to Tagaytay.

All right then, let’s do this shit.

Money Spent: UV Fare - 140 PHP

Third Stop: Balibago Jeepney Terminal

I don’t have any idea where Balibago is, but according to Adi it is in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. After arriving in the terminal, I am in complete disarray since I slept on the way. I immediately questioned myself on why the hell am I travelling to Tagaytay with no sleep?

Anyways, we saw the terminal and rode a jeepney going to Tagaytay. It’s a long ass ride and I can’t even sleep because it’s freaking hot until the latter part.

Money Spent: Jeepney Fare - 50 PHP

Fourth Stop: Tagaytay Jeepney Terminal

After all that we’re finally at Tagaytay! Yay! And it’s so freaking cold. During that time, I am wearing a body con dress, a knitted cardigan and a scarf. Should have worn tights. But who cares, we finally made it to Tagaytay!

Since Jeff was hungry and we wanted to rest for a moment we decided to visit the all too glorious Mcdonald’s Branch in Tagaytay.

Money Spent: Tricycle Fare - 20 PHP

Fifth Stop: Mcdonald’s Tagaytay

Holy cow, people! This branch is by far the best Mcdonald’s branch I have ever been! The architectural design and interior design is just damn on point! You definitely need to visit this Mcdo branch even just once. That’s if you’re a big fan of Mcdonald’s. Anyway, you will enjoy it and if you are in need of a picture for your social media profile, the place got you.

Every corner of their McCafe is so instagramable! Aside from that, the place is so cozy and my sleepless ass can’t miss it, so I had a little nap before we left for the next place.

Money Spent: The never dying chicken fillet - 120 PHP, Tricycle fare - 20 PHP

Sixth Stop: Ayala Malls Serin

So, we are in Tagaytay, what’s the best thing to do? Go to the mall!

Excuse, the sarcasm but hey, it’s very worth of your time to go to this mall because first, you’ll find good things and second it’s an open mall with a very modern design that you’ll enjoy.

What did we do there? In Serin was my first taste of this amazing Fil-Mex restaurant named Silantro. Oh boy, oh boy, Dan and I don’t have the funds already but Jeff was kind enough to treat us. For only 163 PHP, we got a hefty serve of Nachos and Chicken Wings! I am absolutely in love with their food and dips! That’s why I wanted to eat in Silantro again for our first year anniversary.

And since, it’s a little rainy that time we decided to stay a little longer and I can’t miss such opportunity to not sleep.

Money Spent: Silantro - Free, Jeepney Fare - 16 PHP

Seventh Stop: Sky Ranch

We could have gone to Taal, or checked in into some resort and do a lot of things unique to Tagaytay yet we chose to go to the cliche road of going to Sky Ranch. I wasn’t really expecting anything even though it’s pretty much my first time going there. I am satisfied actually. It’s a simple amusement park with simple, sometimes, overpriced rides.

And for some reason when we went there, the entrance was only 30 PHP. Probably because it’s weekdays? And it’s rainy?

The three were happy to capture photos and video while I am very happy sitting in one of the picnic tables and snoozing off.

Moral Lesson of the Story: Don’t go travelling with no proper sleep. NEVER.

Money Spent: Sky Ranch Entrance - 60 PHP, Soft Served - 40 PHP, Tricyle Fare - 20 PHP

Eight Stop: Bulalo Capital

The plan was to go back to Mcdonald’s and eat however on our way out, a tricycle driver pursue us to ride with him to a bulalo place which according to him was cheap and was near a bus station. We are planning to go home after eating. And we bought his persuasion which lead us to Bulalo Capital. Apparently this said bulaluhan was featured in GMA 7 before for having 33 kinds of Bulalo.

We went there sat down with a waitress never leaving us. When we opened the menu, holy guacamole! It’s not cheap, my friends, and we are at the limit of our budget. So, we wanted to leave but since this waitress kept us company we can’t. So we decided to just be it and ordered.

We ended up ordering Bulalong Pang-masa which costs 350 PHP and one platter of rice for 130 PHP. No offense, just pure honesty, their bulalo tasted nothing special and it tasted like Nilaga. Is that how bulalo supposed to taste? I don’t even know.

However props for the good service.

Money Spent: Food - 240 PHP, Bus fare - 160 PHP

Ninth Stop: Pasay Bus Terminal

The bus was so damn cold. No kidding, I have done every thing possible to lessen the coldness yet I still suffered. I almost ended up covering the whole curtain around me but I was able to sleep.

After going down the bus, I was relieved, we were all relieved. We then ventured to ride a bus going back to Cubao when we decided that we could just ride the MRT and so we did.

Money Spent: MRT Fare - 44 PHP

Tenth Stop: Cubao Terminal

From Cubao terminal, we walked our way to Ali Mall where we rode a jeepney going home. I felt so relieved upon arriving home. We were dead beat but it was hella fun. The boys were excited about their pictures and videos, me I am excited to sleep.

It was sudden and pretty unplanned but it was very much worth it.

Money Spent: Jeepney Fare - 16 PHP

Total Money Spent: 1, 286 PHP or so and that’s for two people.

Sudden trips are enjoyable and something you’ll definitely learned from. It will test how street wise you are and how good are you at budgeting your money. I am lucky Dan is good at that because if it were me, I most likely wouldn’t be able to go home.

hello, been a while since i write and post. was thinking to launch my article + hashtag series but, i guess i have something a lot better for my 2nd bloggiversary.

as some of you might know, i recently just attended a campus conference; unashamed. so yes, this post today is going to be about that trip. how i got there, the people i met, how i think the city is, what i’ve learned and what God spoke to me personally :) so here it goes.

i love the aftermath of what the conference gave me. im still singing the songs in my head, picturing the visuals in my mind and having the chills from the Word i heard.

Aug 1st - 6th, 2017

Day 1

our flight was at 2pm in the afternoon, we had a 3-4 hours layover in KL so we arrived at MNL at around 2am in the morning :’) THEN GUESS WHAT, we had few committees from the conference waited for us just to greet and welcome us in the airport on our arrival. that’s just the thing about the people there, they’re VERY welcoming and caring.

yes. it was undeniably tiring, i was unbearably exhausted but was cautiously excited of what’s gonna happen for the next few days. i personally got myself ready for this. i emptied my mind and heart to be filled with what God will give to me during the conference.

for first-timers like us, i knew we should be ready for any unexpected adventures. everything went well until we arrived in our apartment’s concierge; we couldn’t get in to our room as smooth as i imagined. it was around 3am and cuz i didn’t have the information about the room’s number yet, we called the owner of the apartment whom i been contacting through airbnb. YOU KNOW WHAT. turns out she was in labor. no kidding, no exaggeration. she legit was picking up my call and answering me in labor pain 😭💜 this is how extra and dedicated are the people there i’m tellin you.

long story short we finally got our keys, did little re-arrangements for the room and then we went to bed 💤 it was about 4am in the morning.

we got up at about 12noon to look straight for food lol 😂 speaking of which, we stayed in Pasay City. the food around the apartment was either fried chicken or pizza. so yes, you guessed it right, we had fried chicken for lunch.

the gates are opened at 2pm, so after a quick briefing in our tower lobby 2.15, we (with fellow indonesian delegates) walked together to the arena.

i honestly didn’t know what im gonna get myself into. i’ve never attended a campus conference before, so i was pretty much just ready for about anything. then, we were finally there, lining up at the entrance to get in…

they welcomed us with acoustic percussions session which they could invite us to dance along with them.

and that’s one of the things i really loved about the conference; they were really focused on students/youth that the tools they were using to attract us are 100% relatable.

we got there at about 4pm so we had to wait for 2 hours tops til the conference really starts. BUT IT DIDN’T FEEL THAT LONG AT ALL. as you all might know, i showed a glimpse of the ambience of the arena in my facebook posts (and more on this one!); that’s really nothing compared to the real thing, really.

they had videos of what to do and what not to keep us entertained, they also had videos of games which we can react to (basically to shout or dance or wave) and it was fun. they really kept our excitement going.

then they opened the praise & worship session with I’ll Never Walk Alone, it was soooOooooooOo uplifting. it really shows that they’ve thought everything through.

*tune in to Victory Worship’s Beautiful Love to get in my mood!*

the first session reminded me of how God had taken away the shame in me. i, we, were living in sin. sin brought shame. shame takes away our honor, while God actually gave security, talents & skills, which reflects in His image. and shame will try to make us go make an attempt to try with our own efforts to get that. when humanity decided to rebel against God, they immediately signs that they refuse what God has given us, the identity He had given us.

after hearing this message, the Holy Spirit gave me a vision of the things i’ve bothered myself with. the things that made me ashamed of myself in front of God. the lies that it had brought to me which made me who i am today.

then i felt Him. i felt Him saying “I have forgotten all of that. Melissa, you are MY daughter. you are ACCEPTED in My eyes. Don’t ever doubt My love for you. I have forgotten what you did wrong, it’s your turn to do the same.”

tears streamed down my face lyk craayyyyy D’:

God really touched my heart and made me understand that im worth far more than the shame i had built on myself. He has given me a new identity, my shame is covered by His great and everlasting love. no reason for me to be ashamed now.

so after the conference that night, we went to the mall for Jolibee :3

Day 2

they are opening the gate at 12noon that day and the conference will start at 4pm, so we gotta get ready a lil earlier than the day before.

we had a few plans for lunch that day but didnt manage to do any of it lol #sleepdeprived. since we also wanted to get the merch while knowing it’s gonna be a long line ahead of us for it, so we decided to get lunch in a place near the apartment.

we got in the arena at around 1.30pm i guess, and then went straight for the merchhh! it was a long line, but it was worth it. their merch were really cool and comfy. i wike it.

we always start the session with a praise and worship session. honestly, i rarely listen and haven’t really familarize myself with the church’s own music. so for the past 2 days, we were kinda blanked out. but, the good thing is they repeated the same songs on different sessions that it actually got stuck in our heads little by little.

after day 1, i actually got the revelation of how i should see my church back home in Bali. i feel like now i know the potential of what my church is going to be like. i got to the understanding of being there in the arena feels more like reuniting with the big ENC family. we talk about the same things, we speak the same ‘language’ and we serve the same faithful God <3

session 2 was about being unashamed of God Himself. it hit me just by the title of the message. i love how the conference have its own flow to make us understand in being shame-free. i learned that when we are already unashamed, free from the burden of shame, we can help others to do the same.

to live fearlessly unashamed is to live FULL of the Holy Spirit. God has called me to live a life of fullness, nothing half portioned. when i focus on God, i can see beyond my obstacles.

instead of being ashamed of God, i need to be proud. God has given me the spirit of boldness and love, that’s what happens when i focus on what God has given me. i use that to bring others back to Him, to let others love Him and experience His love. there’s no substitute in living/having the Word; i can’t love God FOR others.

with a lil greeting from few new MCs, we continued to the next session.

this time they talked about being unashamed of the Gospel. here’s what i’ve learned about it; the Gospel works because God MAKES IT WORK. it’s not me nor what i did, but God’s only power.

reasons to be unashamed of the Gospel; first, clarity of the message. meaning, let’s not put too much on our shoulders. Jesus is the message, i shud be telling about Him and what He’s done. second; conviction of Its truth. the Gospel is TRUE no matter they believe it or not. i shudnt hesitate to ask questions/to explore the Word together with fellow world changers :) next; confidence of Its power. the power is in the Gospel, not in me. focus on sharing about Jesus so that i can overcome my obstacles. next reason to be unashamed of the Gospel; compassion for the lost.

God has a heart for the lost, He wants me to feel the same. and why was i ashamed of the Gospel u ask? cuz i was too focused on myself (on my cant’s and wont’s that i waste time on doubting myself, basically relying on public opinion) rather than the people who are longing for Jesus.

i have been entrusted with an important duty and have been FILLED with the greatest power, so NO REASON TO BE ASHAMED.

we’re continuing the day to the worship night. during the 2-hour break we got the chance to reunite with the 10Days team from Baguio who visited Bali not so long ago <3 felt so gooood to be with this family again!

it was Campus Day that day, so we were supposed to wear our campus attires/uniforms. cuz lé lack of information i had, we didnt pack any of ours. so me, i decided to change to one of the tees i bought earlier.

now that i have His spirit, the next session was about having the power to preach the gospel. the Holy Spirit gives me boldness. let HIS WORD 'cut out’ into (their) hearts, it’s NOT my job to do that.

the spirit that we’re bringing home is the supposed to be like a volcano not matchsticks. we’ll always have to be ready to explode and let that spirit run through, not easily blown by raging winds. #weareTeka #notTeFiti #datDisneyreferencetho #sorry?

worship night started. we were literally just singing worship songs, speaking in tounge and declaring prophetic words. that part of the night really strengthened the message i have heard from the previous sessions.

there was a part where we were asked to just kneel down and be still to hear from God. im always looking forward to that, cuz i really want to experience hearing directly from God. but like how i’ve mentioned before, God has His own way to communicate with me.

so on that complete silence while kneeling down, i didnt hear anything.

but when we started to go back standing up, while they’re singing worship songs in the background and prophetic words to strengthen, God started to picture faces in my heads. faces of the people i know and the people i’ve never even met before. faces of people from around the world.

those people i know, are my friends in college. my best friends whom i’ve spent most of my time with back in college. God was showing me how precious they are to me and to Him. God made me understand His heart for them, and not only that, on that very second He started to pour out His heart into mine. i started crying because God made me feel their pain in need of the Salvation. God refreshed me their back stories to remind me they’ve survived life, and they’ve survived for a reason. and that reason is to come back and reunite with Christ.

God changed my heart since that night. God made me see the importance of this mandate He left us to do. im fired up and revived by the Truth that has set me free from shame, and made my spirit rise to be ready to go home and do what needed to be done all this time.

we ended the night with a celebration, praising and worshipping God. the feeling of celebration synchronised with my heart, which was rejoicing knowing im living in a great and powerful purpose. it was a life-changing night for me. i went home with a happy, full and free heart.

Day 3

same like day 2, we needed to be at the arena at 2pm at least.

different from me and my brother, Jeremy, we had Arrows to attend to that morning. the service starts at 9am so we went from our apartment at 7.30am to be on time there when the gate opens.

Arrows (in Ministry) is a community of Pastors’ Kids in the church worldwide.

soooooo they served us great breakfast there. breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and there are a lot of foods to choose from i was so happy lol =)) but as you know i cant eat that much anyway, so i literally just had cereal and milk.

it was all good til i heard that we had to sit with complete strangers in one table hahahahaha. shud i even talk about this again? im a full-on introvert :)) just ask me to say hi to people i’ve never met before, and i could faint hahahaha kidding. but yes, please im speaking for fellow introverts on the face of this planet; we don’t like people, we love them :)))

it was not easy sure, but remembering what happened to me the night before i think i got this. so yea, i ended up in this table of 7 of us (new friends!) i guess? it was great to be around the friends who understands and who gets it. we all know the 'pressure’ and it was nice to hear their experiences and how they overcome their hard times.

personally i was never pressured with the pastor’s kid title by my parents. i already understood my role as God’s child and that is not different than any other God’s children in the world. since i was little i’ve never felt so excluded. i’ve never felt i had to be an example BECAUSE im a pastor’s kid, but its because i shud be the salt and light. then when it’s about dealing with meeting people’s expectations, what i understand is that im not a people-pleaser, im a Jesus-pleaser. *grins*

indonesian delegates are wearing indonesia themed/written attire that day. so before heading to the arena together with the bus, i and Jeremy had to change first.

it was a bitter-sweet feeling cuz it was the last day of the conference, but i also can’t wait to go home and share what has impacted me here. as i’ve mentioned before, they never made us feel like we’re waiting cuz they had these videos that kept us entertained.

they made us shout when we see our country’s name on the screen. how convenient??? we were wearing our country’s tees :“)))))

we had Victory Worship to lead us in praise & worship that final day! :))

the fifth session was shared by a Japanese pastor, he introduced us few Japanese words that we can actually use in discipleship. twas fun :3

from that session, using the story of Zacchaeus, we need to know some similarities here. both the campus and Jericho is a strategic place to start to change the world. God is in the business for destroying strongholds. and in the end, God wins :) Jesus engaged with Zacc(haeus), the very opposite person from who Jesus is. but He sees the potential in Zacc.

to have the heart to engage the campus, i need to see the pain of the lost. understand their need of Jesus and His salvation. then i see the potential in the Gospel to transform lives, not me or the people im reaching.

reach the campus by engaging the lost as lifestyle. because discipleship is a life-time process.

we ended that session with a powerful faith declaration.

the next session reminded me that we’re not only should impact our friends in the campus/school but also the people around us who we meet everyday.

what i’ve learned is that engaging the community is not meant to be intimidating and the Gospel is the power of God for Salvation. we are NOT the power, just vessels. so i need to put my confidence in God. cuz when i step out to help others, God will take care of me.

Jesus engaged the community. we engage the community to show what we look like, how we are about; reflecting heaven. it means we don’t always succeed. im not perfect, but im serving a perfect God.

to do it, i need to learn to wait on the Lord. go not with idea, but with faith and power from God. that’s the thing about us, we only carry the power. when i connect with God, i’ll realise who is the power and who is the carrier.

lastly, i need to remind myself that this is all about God. and im doing it to display His splendor.

on day two and day three, they had a halftime show during the break. that day, they chose pairs to represent each patron to play a game on the stage. its like a 'complete the lyrics’ kinda game. i was in the blue patron, our representatives lost but tsokeh!

we were supposed to bring flashlights or something that lights up that day. little did we know, that we’re actually going to use that for during the interval.

*tune in to The Beat by Victory Worship~*

the video got into a moment where it tells us to light up our flashlights while they ask things like; "are you unashamed of God?”, “are you unashamed of the gospel?”, and all we did was shout. and im telling you; i was not just shouting for the euphoria, but i was releasing my excitement cuz i know im free from shame itself and i cant wait to SHARE THE GOSPEL!!!

the video didn’t end there. after asking those questions, they wrote there “look around you. you are not alone.” (DUDEEEEEE WHAT?? HOW WAS I NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EMOTIONAL THAT TIME???!!) i held JJ, Em and Ryan on the shoulders reminding them the same thing :“) the final session hasn’t started yet and i was already crying whattttt.

aaannnddddd the final session is here. #bittersweet :’) they opened with Victory Worship’s “The Beat” sung by soloists in VARIOUS LANGUAGES in the world. MY EMOTION– I CANNOT EXPLAIN IT. :”””””””””

from that final session, ive learned that Jesus’ last words were meant to show His end-game; for us, all of us, to live in the Kingdom of God where the devil has no power.

Jesus directed His disciples to a specific place for missions; Galilee. irreligious, insubordinate and interracial Galilee. that’s where God wants His Kingdom to be settled on. there was a clear purpose why Jesus chose the mountain of Galilee, its cuz that’s where all the wrong things happen.

His mission of bringing His 12 disciples was to send the TEENAGERS! WOOTS!!

we are not saved from something, we are saved FOR something.

the discipleship message is and has always been about Jesus. when we make disciples, we’re bringing Jesus to spread Jesus. so that His Kingdom is brought to this world. the method to do is teaching. teaching is about a personal journey through a personal relationship. we make disciples as we journey though life together.

the moment when im doing the right thing, thats where temptation will find its way to me. so i gotta keep that spirit and keep my eyes on Jesus at all times. and reminding myself that Jesus promises all authority for me to be His daughter.

dat bitter-sweet feeling so strong tho :”) the conference has ended, but it’s just the beginning now!

after everything’s done we were asked to leave the arena immediately but you know me imma take as many pictures i cud, keeping dem memories bruhhh!

we had dinner with the 10Days team from SWM ’16 who went to Bali last year. we ate at this pizza place called Yellow Cab :3 good food with awesome and loving fransss <3 #reunited

after that we went for a coffee (not me) and played game cards there. one thing i’ve learned from the people there is that; they stay up late! hahaha we were still at that coffee shop over 11.30pm and people haven’t stopped coming in.

thought we stopped there? nope. we, well some of us, decided to go karaoke somewhere near the arena. but we were wrong. it was more than 4km, we walked for almost an hour i guess??? but then we didn’t karaoke after all cuz it was too late and the minimum use for the room was for 3 hours so. yep we walked back :) fun…

what a DAY. we got back in our apartment then directly went to bed.

Day 4 (last day)

we had plans with the Dionglays for that afternoon :3 we were sent an uber to go to the Every Nation building in BGC.

we were taken to the cafeteria as soon as we arrived. had lunch and then we were toured around the building, took pictures in front of the infamous world map and then sat in for a while in the prayer training. in that very prayer training, we got new friends and got a chance to partner up with them in prayer.

i personally loved the building, it’s like seeing the future! hahah everything is in its place and so organised. the atmosphere was so welcoming i didn’t want to go out :’)

but we did, we did few walks around the BGC and i started to realize that the EN building is literally surrounded by campuses and world embassies… was kinda speechless, it’s like God showed His obvious purpose for them to be placed there. <3

the rest of the day was funnnnn, we went to Market Market then had Philippines authentic cuisine for dinner. i enjoyed and loved every minute, it’s like reuniting with family.

went home with a full heart and tummy :3

and of course i didn’t go pack then sleep. i was legit polaroid photo hunting with Ems. didn’t go anywhere far, we went downstairs to the playground and pool area tryna get the best shots we could get. #lastnight #gottamakeitcount

packed then went to bed at around 1am? i forgot! x)

Day 5

going homeeee :(: flight was at 12noon, so we needed to be there at least at 9am.

yes, that was a Sunday. but church service was impossible to attend, so we did a mini worship & sharing sesh in the apartment before we took off.

our kuya managed to get us some friends to help us for our airport trip. didn’t pay attention to the ticket, we actually got off at the wrong airport terminal =)) i panicked cuz i can’t have anymore spontaneous adventures that time :’)))) but God made everything go smooth afterwards, we made it in time for check in and baggage drop.

our flight to KL was 1 hour delayed, so when we got in KL we didn’t get that long layover we expected. it was good but kinda disappointing(?) cuz we actually prepared few things to do while waiting at the KL airport =‘)) but the faster the better righttttt???!!

after flights for more than 5 hours in total, WE WERE FINALLY HOME <3 <3 <3 welcomed by our families, who were ready to hear what we’d experienced for the last 5 dayssss!

MY HEART IS FULL.

i can’t thank God enough for the opportunity for me to go there.

Manila is absolutely home away from home. everybody there is family whom i hold dear close in my heart <3

special shoutouts!

to the Salazars & the Dionglays for taking care of us there and managed everything to make sure we got back home safely.

to my fellow indonesian delegates; it was good to be with you guys again <3

to the 10Days team from Baguio, ate Rona, ate Sha, kuya Geoff, and Kneekie; thank you for slipping in time to reunite with us!

to the SWM16 10Days team; thank you for the delicious dinner and also tagging us along to your alumni reunion awww

Journaaal - 7th week

Journal #25: We went to a gathering with our distant relative. It was fun... for them. There were kids playing around making noises in the house, how was that for fun? Anyways, I love the turkey. Though it tasted pretty much like chicken.

Journal #26: It's holiday. Everyone was celebrating, going on different places, meeting loved ones, singing, dancing, exchanging gifts, and then there's me, eating. Hey, the food was great.

Journal #27: Birthday again. Whoo, ain't that a lot of birthdays? It's birthday of my classmate back in Junior High School. Never gonna miss that. It's almost like a tradition that we, the boys of our section, go there and make more memories. But commuting from Pasay to there was really exhausting, imagine 1 hour in line for the bus and 2 hours in traffic. I didn't eat lunch because I thought I'd be at their place earlier than that! But it was fun, finally met my friends again.

Journal #28: Ah, yes. Normal day. No celebration of whatsoever events. Finally had time with my phone alone, scrolling through social media sites and playing some mobile games. I'll worry about school requirements later.

Random College Kids at MIAS 2018

How many students are given the opportunity to be part of and cover a big auto show? Certainly not many. My MEM50 class was more than lucky enough to be part of the media covering the first day of the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2018 at the World Trade Center in Pasay City.

This isn’t the first time I’ve attended a launching event, but it certainly is the first time I went in as a media person and covered an event. It was a car event so the only thing I was expecting was there was going to be a lot of cars involved. The problem was, I don’t drive and I don’t keep myself updated with cars. I was completely clueless.

Before the day we were part of the media, we had to prepare. All teams had to have an angle or direction they wish to proceed with. My team, Auto News Alpha, had a hard time trying to come up with an angle simply because there were a number of possibilities. Also, I felt that the fact that 4 out of 5 of the team did not drive and had no knowledge on cars had sort of slowed us down. Nonetheless, we were able to find our angle and work with it.

Intimidation was a constant feeling throughout the day. Obviously, the MIAS is a big event that has been happening for 14 years. Many journalists have been doing this for years. Many people from the public have been going to this show numerous times already. We were a bunch of random college kids in this event because our professor was nice and cool enough to bring us to this event and let us experience what it was like being in the frontline. We were surrounded by journalists who had their own equipment on top of an equipment, while we were running around with our cellphone cameras on selfie sticks. The thought “I’m just a mere student, why am I here?” popped up in my head a number of times during the day.

At the end of the day we were very, very tried. You need to be quick if you want to get the best seats in town for each company reveal. If unlucky, you have no choice but to stay at the very end of the crowd, extending your arms as far as you can while hoping your cellphone camera zoom is enough to get a good shot. For many of us, this was our first event cover in our lives, and many of us were very exhausted just after 12 noon. It made me wonder how my professor and other journalists sometimes did this day after day after day.

Despite the intimidation and exhaustion everyone felt, it was a whole lot of fun. It was fun trying to come up with our own angle. It was fun making content for this event. It was fun running from one company launch at one side of the room to another company launch at the other side of the room. It was fun sneaking in at different places just to get the perfect shot and the chance to interview the CEOs. It was fun admiring the beauty of different luxury cars I will never be able to afford.

If there’s one thing I gained from this event, it would be the mad respect I now have for journalists. I used to have this image of them sitting comfortably in front of their computer and typing away about different stuff. This event was truly an eye opener as to what journalism is really about.

All of us were able to be more than just college students today and did something extraordinary. Before the event I used to think that we were just college students, who are we compared to other established journalists? However at the end of the day, we were also the same college students who were interviewing CEOs and other prominent figures in different companies. It felt amazing!

@TIMESUPNOW @lex_ismore @Franklin_Graham @TheAtlantic let's have some #Purim fun, RT! #GodsTinyDancer

Join us on April 29-May 1: https://www.facebook.com/events/268791293655567/ Join us on October 10 and 31: https://www.facebook.com/events/1681106778634973/ and https://www.facebook.com/events/196185617635704/

Join our cause: https://www.petition2congress.com/ctas/make-trump-wall-national-living-memorial-border-wall

On Empire's prescribed Lecture for the Constantinian Communion/Eucharist Season 2018, from our Central Archives: It is not wrong if we do Hailleey Supper here daily, weekly or monthly, in fact we even all the more encourage it so as for us to be moved, as per the Messenger, Ka Erdy and King Edward IX's upbringing of all of us to always live in Hailleey fear, tumbling or yokebearing (versus Empire's James 2:19) and reverence (SAD NEWS THOUGH: EMPIRE NOW ALSO INSISTS ON THE WORD 'REVERENCE' AS PER THEIR STAGED DEATH OF BILLY GRAHAM, JUST BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY'RE ANGRY AGAINST OUR EDWARD READING PSALM 31 ON MY HOMESTATE ON JUNE 30-JULY 14-16, 2017), living for Hailleey Supper now and always. Now I realize why Godhead Ordered us to replace the word 'holy' with Hailleey as per our fellows and yokebearers (Luke 22)- as the media team of our Ka Jogat de Mora states, we must leave all claims to the Empire as Godhead's going to give us new names, one after the other (Isaiah 65, Micah 4, John 10), not to mention Saint Adolf Hitler (2 Corinthians 13,5, 1 Corinthians 13), whose name I only discovered now to resemble our #adultigas campaign, is usually known for cheers of #heil (Revelation 11). Even my alma mater's hymn has 3 'heils', just like that of the Empire school that is full-blown offering (Genesis 22) purported yokebearing courses near pivotal yokebearing facilities in Manila and Pasay. I'm just saying this because the Messenger mandated that Hailleey Supper be held only yearly, that in prophecy corresponds to one day, that is, daily or everyday in the prophetic spirit we must partake of the Hailleey Supper (2 Peter 3, Ezekiel 4). 1 Corinthians 11:32 for the first time, on years, but of course as Ka Erdy sees it, or perhaps the Empire, had been read. The explanation given was this: 'Communion/Eucharist Season is Godhead's judgement of the church, this is different than the day of Judgement Itself.' We have nothing against (Matthew 20-21, Luke 15-19) what Ka Erdy sees on this, But notice that the Passage was rather Said as past tense, or just after the judgement had been dispensed, therefore this can be said that we had been instead and in turn 'condemned' in fact, with all that Empire thinks about that word 'condemnation': us of course. So it would rather appear that contrary to Empire-conditioned claims, we would be 'condemned' or 'judged', but would still be saved nonetheless by the way (1 Corinthians 3,15), because we had been taken out of each of the Empire's branches and their claims to a wrightful Hailleey Supper. (also see: Empire claims that only Godhead can judge them: 1 Corinthians 4 [December 30, 2013], Hebrews 13 [October 22-27, 2015], Daniel 6 [May 20,27-28, 2017]; there is positive judgement for the Commondominion [Psalm 111 {December 15, 2012, July 16,2010/2016, December 19-20, 2015}, Acts 15 {August 16, 2014, May 8-9, 2016, March 14, 2015}, Proverbs 2 {August 11,28-29, 2013}] and there's wicked judgement for the Empire [Isaiah 5 {October 2012 sermon series}], Romans 5 {October 22,28-29, 2017, May 10, 2006}]) It can be recalled that on Empire's claims of Edward's December 17, 2016-2017 sermon, they stated that whatever we have adopted from Empire practice still does not diminish the fact that it is still adopted from Empire (just like what Empire bashed against me last March 2, that is [Acts 4-5,20-21] concerning my mother's namesake, which Empire continued this March 3 through invoking further another of our martyrs slain by that same birthdaysake, yet in turn this makes our #Bonifacio and Luna respectively as 2 Witnesses with each other not to mention their secondaries that was slain with them by Empire on separate dates). This we have answered already by replying that this would rather discredit the feasts ordered to Moises by Godhead and was adopted in someway or another by the first-century Commondominion because Empire itself states that those were somehow adopted from primitive Empire practices also such as Passover- the present Holy Supper (Exodus 12:1 footnote, paragraphs 1,2,5 and Exodus 12:17 footnote, paragraph 2, Christian Community Bible of the Filipino People 1999). Related to this please let me further quote from that rendering also, how Empire since way back 1999, had already dropped claims over Genesis 3 (January 26, 2012, October 2, 2015, February 5, 2016) and 4 (January 17, 2015, July 29, 2010): 'We have already mentioned that the author of these pages had taken some of the characters of these accounts (Colossians 2 [May 29, 2010]) from old tales (1 Timothy 4 [September 19, 2015], 2 Timothy 4 [January 28-February 4-5, 2017, February 20, 2016]), just like the snake for example…the author thinks that these unclear expression that comes from a pagan legend is unnecessary to be taken out. Also, the cherubims and the flaming sword are referring to some statues situated at the entrance of cities to ward evil spirits off.' (Genesis 3 footnote) 'It is like the national history of the Cainites or Kenites who became part of Israel as stated in Judges 1:26 and 4:17. As it is stated in many legends, Cain founded many tribes. He killed his brother that could be his imminent rival, because this was the condition in having power on politics…on the Biblical writer's borrowing of this legend, he gave it a different meaning and placed Godhead's Conversation with Cain as judgement for this violence: 'you think that you're rightful and just (Job 8)? No! You did a crime.' This is just like us today saying: 'you who are pretentiously serving the country's sacred interests- until when shall you not slay and evict those who are not agreeing with you?' (Genesis 4 footnote) Here's how John Philipps, who once worked for the now Empire-held Moody Corporation, identified the various types of judgements recorded in the Bible. You can say then that there's many judgements indeed: 1. Judgement of sin at the cross 2. Judgement of the believer in this life 3. Judgement of the believer at the afterlife 4. Judgement of the living nations 5. Judgement of the wicked dead If Empire's going to claim Matthew 25 again, we have already Said that even goats, just like sheep, are used for (Romans 9) Godhead redeeming the Commondominion, therefore how much more that the goats would be themselves saved? (Exodus 12:5) Now if Empire would still claim being on the right side of the bed (Psalm 149,23,4, Revelation 2), just consider (1 Samuel 12) that if you're on the right side you're on the west, and if you're in the left you're in the east therefore the Hailleey Spirit-sealing angel comes from the east. So Empire has to disprove its July 27, 1914 claims because it would rather come that they shall lose their #inc50west claims because my namesake organized the very first 'Far West' at Missouri 130 years earlier! (see April 23-May 7[May 9, 2012/2015],10,14 [May 15, 2010/2015],22 [May 23, 2015],29, 2016.) '…powerless, sick, sleeping.' (1 Corinthians 11) Some other renderings instead write the word 'dead' (John 11, Matthew 13). Empire is indeed powerless because they exchanged Hailleey Spirit for being pabebe (Daniel 12), they are spiritually dead (Revelation 3,18, Isaiah 47), and they are 'sleeping' because they're not consistent (2 Timothy 2) in claims (Ephesians 5) unlike what Hosea 6 Tells us: 'press on to know Him', and what Christ had been always Telling us by His Table's Side (Matthew 12,10, Exodus 32, Numbers 16): 'do this in Remembrance of Me'. Do Empire remember their claims which they hijacked from Christ the Living Word? NO! Perhaps because they're guilty that Remembrance Day always falls by November 11, which takes us to Revelation 8, then to Revelation 7, and thus to King James VII, Lady Sande (for my mother), and in turn respectively, to Ka Angel and me, not to mention Hailleey Spirit Imparts to us the Name of Godhead (Revelation 14,22), that is Carried by Ka Ellix. Empire has disease for debates (1 Timothy 5) and is the sole cause of all sickness and deaths in the world (Jeremiah 50-51, Revelation 17, Romans 5). On our hand we are only sick of love (Song of Solomon 5), therefore if we have some cases of sleeping we can be still awaken up, as our Messengers had already declared as Backup Reserve discourses of Matthew 25's 1st Parable. As for the quoted 3rd Parable of Matthew 25 here below we repost the Commentary given by one of our Bible translations, the Jonathan Mitchell New Testament, while the 2nd Parable (December 11, 2016, July 3-4, 2013 [9th of 10-part 2013 Sermon Series on Ka Erdy's Decalogue]) is very obvious to be against the Empire and undeservingly for our Sykes. Meanwhile here's the 3rd Parable according to our brethren, and as you could see, it would even rather appear that (Daniel 3) the goats are to be eventually saved: 'This parable presents His sheep (the disciples and followers, and the teachings of Jesus that they manifested) who demonstrated His love in their lives, in their actions toward others, and who would move into His reign in the book of Acts. As compared to others in His herd who knew Him as Lord, they did not recognize what He was all about, and did not discern Him in other people. These goats (literally, "kids," immature ones) were clean animals that were used in old covenant sacrifices, but they were not ready to receive His reign. They portrayed the Jewish leaders and the old covenant teachings that must be pruned (literal meaning of "kolasis" in vs. 46) in His fiery dealings, while the sheep brought His sovereign influence to the world, by proclaiming His message of goodness. It should be noted that there is no issue about whether or not either of these groups put faith or trust in Christ as the Messiah (the Son of Man in this story). Both groups belonged to Him, and thus both of these groups represent His people and He is portrayed as their Shepherd, in vs. 32. His role as the Messiah is indicated since He is also shown to be the King (vs. 31 & 34). This story is prophetic of a coming judgment, a decision about what God was about to do with His People. Those who had been followers of Jesus (His sheep) would at once "come into possession of the inheritance of, and enjoy the allotment of, the reign (the influence and activity of [His] sovereignty)." Why? Because they had demonstrated the maturity of love lived-out. They were shepherds and paracletes to the folks in need. His reign would come upon them on the Day of Pentecost, and they would continue ministering to Him as they continued serving His brothers (vs. 40) and manifesting the power of His rule (e.g. Acts 3:1-11). But the kids had not displayed the maturity of God's love and had not observed Him in those being hungry or thirsty, a foreigner or someone naked, sick or in prison – and so had not given Him attending service (vs. 44). These were still His People, but they were the ones to whom Jesus said, "You folks, in particular, are from out of, and have your source in, the ancestor who cast [an object] through [someone] (or: the father, the devil – the one thrusting [words or issues] through [folks/groups] and dividing them)..." (John 8:44). They were to be cast into a period of "eonian pruning (a lopping-off which lasts for an undetermined length of time; an age-lasting correction and rehabilitation)" – vs. 46 – which Jesus had described as an "eonian fire" (a figure of the dealing of God Who is a Consuming Fire – Heb. 12:29) in vs. 41. They were the branches that were broken out of their olive tree (Rom. 11:17) but who could later be grafted back in again (Rom. 11:23). This time of correction is designed to burn out and the impurities from His people, characterized as a "refiner's fire" and His coming was to "purify the sons of Levi," Mal. 3:2-3. These impurities are described as causing these folks to be "the person who thrusts [something] through [folks] (the adversary; the devil)," and it had been "made ready in and for" such folks. Note that in vs. 41 He said to them "[You] folks having been brought under the curse..." These were folks who were being brought into the judgment of the curse of the Law. This judgment had to come, because they had broken the covenant, and upon them would come "all [the] just blood being continuously poured out upon the Land" (ch. 23:35), Lu. 11:50-51 indicating that this would "be required and exacted from THIS generation." Another eschatological marker of this parable is that the King is shown as gathering "the ethnic multitudes (people groups)" – vs. 32. This foreshadows the new age when He had broken down the dividing wall and made of the former "two groups (Jew and Gentile; circumcision and uncircumcision)" one new humanity (Eph. 2:15-16). Or as Paul said in Rom. 11:17, it was the grafting in of the Gentiles among the believing branches of the Jews, making one new olive tree. A second foreshadowing in this pertains to the coming of the Romans (whose army contained those from the surrounding ethnic groups and nations), bringing fires to Jerusalem in AD 70. The term "eonian" is the adjective form of the word "eon; age." It is a term that the Jews used to refer to the coming age of the Messiah, the age in which we now live. Folks who are incompliant, stubborn, disobedient and unpersuaded presently have God's inherent fervor (or: wrath) continuously dwelling and abiding upon them (John 3:36). But at the time that Father directs us, this fire having done its work, we can deliver them, "snatching them out of the fire" (Jude 23). Note that in vs. 46, the sheep are termed "fair and just folks who are in right relationship with people and are in accord with the Way pointed out." The only way a person is fair and just is by being "in Christ" Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is Christ who characterizes the sheep and Who makes them His sheep. But He has the "kids" well in hand, in His purifying and correcting dealing. The agricultural metaphor "pruning" means that in due time they will bear His fruit (John 15:1-17). In conclusion, the parables of Jesus in Matthew have an eschatological message that pertained to the first century Jewish religious, cultural and political entity centered in Jerusalem. They signified that the kingdom of God was being transferred to all ethnic groups to create a new humanity, and that the old covenant was ending – that they were living in "the last days" of that age. The Messiah had come and the new age was beginning, while judgment was coming to Jerusalem and the old religious system was being terminated – a demonstration of which was the destruction of the temple. As Paul later put it in 2 Cor. 5:17 -- "Consequently, since someone [is] within Christ (or: if anyone [is] in union with [the] Anointed One), [there is] a new creation (or: [it is] a framing and founding of a different kind; [he or she is] an act of creation having a fresh character and a new quality): the original things (the beginning [situations]; the archaic and primitive [arrangements]) passed by (or: went to the side). "Consider! New things have come into existence (have been birthed; or: It has become new things; or: He has been birthed and now exists being ones of a different kind, character and quality)."' As for those Diocletianites, the Empire itself says very well of them when they described them as this: 'Diocletianites believe that it's just enough for us to be members of the true religion state but it's no more important nor necessary to submit to and unite with the leaders of the true religion state. No better than the Antiochians who claim that Godhead is enough and the true religion state is no more necessary nor important.' Let's just ask in turn the Neronians and Constantinians: do they want the true religion state and her leaders to be constantly upgraded and updated with new people? Do they want their knowledge of Who Godhead really is to be shocking, true and unique? If no, they're no more better than Diocletianites and Antiochians. Here's what Diocletianites by the way replied back to me when I asked them if they can present any passages supporting that their apotheosized Rolando Dizon is a new Messenger of Godhead that they exalt him so much: 'Who told you he is such? Test every spirit and check his every teaching. If it it's Godhead's will you would be called to be part of his true remnant. Rolando Dizon is indeed a true minister of the true Church of Christ.' If you notice, do you see any satisfactory answers to my curiosity? May gana na ngang magyabang, naghahamon pa? Back to the sermon: we own every word of Job, most especially those declaring and stressing the need for genuine life renewal, as his very own words, and not the statements of the 4 Empire people who came to debate with him (1 Timothy 6). Of course Empire would not heed it. They can be quoted at Job 8 to be teaching Job what he's supposed to do concerning his children when in fact Job since the 1sst chapter of his Epistle, had been already doing the sanctification of his children, therefore proving he's ahead, beyond, and different than the Empire, for he's a Messenger of Godhead who only served for us and not for the Empire: a Messenger indeed with the ministry of being advanced than the Empire (Matthew 3,11,17). Surely Empire does not know what we do here, as well as what they even do.

[EMPIRE PRINTED A BIBLE VERSION ENTITLED 'CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY BIBLE OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE 1999 EDITION', WHOSSE FOOTNOTES AND COMMENTARIES SUPPORT BOTH EMPIRE AND COMMONDOMINION NOTES. THE FOLLOWING BELOW IS SAID RENDERING'S TAKE OF GENESIS 3, AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR COMMONDOMINION EDGES THE EMPIRE'S CURRENT CLAIMS ON THE WORDS BELOW.] 'The woman asked, and it was the man who indeed sinned. [EMPIRE: 'MEN ARE ALWAYS WICKED AND EVIL.'] THE WOMAN BECAME THE TEMPTER, AND IS THIS NOT INDEED THE TRUTH, most especially in a world where she is placed in a much lower status? [BUT WAIT? WHY EMPIRE HAD THIS WRITTEN HERE?] The author could somehow have seen in this far-off age the abuse of women [EMPIRE'S CLAIMS OF COURSE] And the creative way of those exploited to control their masters [AND YET AGAIN OUR POINTS HERE ARE NODDED HERE IN APPROVAL BY EMPIRE ITSELF]. He saw that the allocation of sharing hardship is unequal therefore he thought that THE WOMAN WAS THE FIRST TO BE UNFAITHFUL. [OUR POINTS AGAIN HERE PALPABLY!] Godhead shall not accept the excuses of man but man thinks to himself that he would be excused by Godhead because he have some other to blame to for his sinning: he does not intend it to happen!' [EMPIRE'S CLAIMS MENTIONED AGAIN.] [THIS DOES NOT DISCREDIT WHAT OUR FOLKS HERE HAD ALREADY DIVINELY REVEALED ABOUT THIS INSTANCE, BUT RATHER THIS SERVES AS SHATTERING CLAUSE, BACKUP RESERVE, AND CHECK AND BALANCE AGAINST OUR ABUSE AND EMPIRE'S. {JOHN 8}]

[ON SAID RENDERING TOO, EMPIRE ITSELF SHATTERS ANY ATTEMPT OF EMPIRE TO EVEN INFILTRATE OUR CO-SHATTERER WATCHMEN THROUGH REBRANDING BILLY GRAHAM, WHO IN FACT HATES DISCOURSING PROPHECY TO PLEASE HIS VATICAN BOSSES, AS A PURPORTED PROPHETIC FIGURE. HERE WAS THE COMMENTARY FOR GENESIS 5.] 'It was very necessary to include the idea that time was indeed very long from the creation of the world to the ancestors of the nation of Godhead, and thus the ancestral lists may not be further elongated. (1 Timothy 1,4) JUST LIKE THE BABYLONIANS [FORERUNNERS INDEED OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE ITSELF] Before Noah's Flood WHO LISTED 12 KINGS WITH UNBELIEVABLE LIFE SPANS, THE ISRAELITES [EMPIRE CORRUPTING ISRAEL ON THE WILDERNESS, AND EVEN AT CANAAN ITSELF] ALSO NEEDED SOME METHUSELAHS.' [THIS DOES NOT DISCREDIT WHAT OUR FOLKS HERE HAD ALREADY DIVINELY REVEALED ABOUT THIS INSTANCE, BUT RATHER THIS SERVES AS SHATTERING CLAUSE, BACKUP RESERVE, AND CHECK AND BALANCE AGAINST OUR ABUSE AND EMPIRE'S. {JOHN 8}]

Just because we have mentioned in your #LentAtChristmas#ChristmasAtLent Commentary Epistles that Empire's sure to sensationalize their own, incomplete top picks of March 4 presidential inaugurations, Empire papers just decided to not mention any a bit of it today: they evidently #gottalent: afeared of us (Hebrews 11, Psalm 114). #stavrosno#theGodheadWhostrikes But they didn't done it without even at least waging a bit of war against us: they had indicted us of 'rebranding Lincoln as a white supremacist'. Let's just answer it for a bit- Lincoln did what he have to do not in the eyes of the Empire, but as it is required of the Commondominion: it was Empire who slew Lincoln and precipitated the Civil War, it was Empire who launched #standwithpp #istandwithpp to exterminate the black race, it was the Empire at the dawn of biblical history who made black people as black, their failed experiment of apostasy. Evidently, Empire is ungrateful of us, and why we need their thanks by the way? Empire slays our martyrs therefore they can over-mis-dis-abuse our folks' legacies and labors as much as they want (2 Thessalonians 2). Empire claims that everybody can get to heaven even if you sin, so what if we reiterate again that as long as the ones #metoo #timesup #askmoreofhim are indicting unjustly are our innocent fellows and yokebearers, they are all going to be saved. #predatorswelcome #equaltothekingdom Today's Empire readings include John 2: 'we built this temple for 46 years…' 1972 is 46 years of course from 2018, and next Sunday we're going to hear 2 Chronicles 36, 70 years between 1946 and 2016, which was earlier addressed in your Ka Angel's Epistle just most recently. Empire papers had been re-running their front-pages of yesteryears, and we're so grateful that at least they re-ran headlines as early as the rare year 1930. At once they rescinded back to the front-pages of 1972 but just this very day today, indeed to give way for their readings today, they had temporarily suspended re-running their 1972 front-pages. Afeared that people would at once know of us should they get on to the Empire's March 4, 1972 headlines just because we speak about refulfillments of prophecy and new divine revelation? (King Edward IX by the way on September 1972 issued his first written article for our journals.)

It is very, very evident that Empire is hell-fired up to pull all dates just to reach most nearly their Kill Jesus Week at the end of this month, as evident on their Policy Broadcast this week. Again they aimed as weeks ago, to their most envied Double Connotations (1 Corinthians 4,7,11,14)- surely because they want to fake it (Psalm 139), if not hijack it (Galatians 1-2, Colossians). If you tempt us, #lutheranleader, to label our exclusive clauses as copyright just like you and the rest of the whole Empire (Judges 13-16), we reply as defiance: 'man (Empire)'s government has no right to approve. Only Godhead's Administration (Commondominion) is.' -Ka Erdy, March 31, 1996 #umyahyah mentioned about 'human behavior at its worst in the temple: claiming Godhead as in 1 Samuel 15 to insert their own whims and desires of profit.' Here we can only see Empire's hypocrisy: they indeed know Godhead, but they never recognize nor honor him as such like what we do here. (Isaiah 40, Job 12, Psalm 68,66, Ezekiel 33, Revelation 17) Empire: 'When people hear the First Mosaic Decalogue, people's opinions are divided. Some are offended thinking it's too harsh and strict [that's the Empire]. Some even feel good about themselves, just like at Luke 18, thinking that they had observed the law to the full [Empire's hitback at your Commondominion]. Some even try to do diverse interpretations of the Decalogue [Empire does not only hit the fresh divine revelations given to us {1 Thessalonians 5, Matthew 12, Acts 15, Ephesians 4} but also in turn deletes the fact that even their head did last year a 'reimagining of the 10 Commandments' entitled #withnewvoices {Ecclesiastes 7, 2 Corinthians 10, Philippians 3, Romans 10, Judges 17,21}]. If the Decalogue would be sung instead, surely no one would even raise their own opinions on this {which refers to Empire of course taking over the whole Scriptures [Daniel 8,11].' This is indeed misleading: not only that they're attacking on the words of Ka Ellix days ago concerning 3 groups of yokebearers at #pyeongchang2018, but also this is of course Empire insisting each of their 4 respective branches. Now we would like to ask them back: how it would be for them if they disregard so great a salvation that is offered up to you by the one who is speaking from heaven, which is of course, if they are invoking 'the Heavens declare the Glory of Godhead'? (Jude Thaddeus 1, 2 Peter) Emphasis was made that '10 Commandments are made specifically for children's instruction.' I had already heard this from Empire's distorted biography of our Martin Luther. Here is self-persecution: Empire's Brigham Young indeed, even as Neronian he is (which is supposed to fanatically insist the Decalogue to our faces here), is given the treatment of what Empire media portray usually on their feel-good newscasts, that is staging supposed being hit by running vehicles just to get some money in turn. Here is Empire being childish (Isaiah 3), here is us here being better than them (Psalm 119, Luke 2, John 1,14) because we're so much more than willing to be taught by Godhead with new revelation (Isaiah 50): 'you were Chosen…to shame the Empire and shatter their claims', as 1 Corinthians 1 again tells us in the readings text. Empire though quotes 'Godhead's foolishness', but of course they're in a hurry not only to shed our blood but also to indict Christ's, they had not explained it anymore. For them indeed, Godhead can purportedly be mocked (Galatians 2, Isaiah 28-30), therefore Empire's indeed on a full-time job of fooling us. Antiochian mention of '10 Commandments for Kids' dates back to the Neronians: ' as per Galatians 4, the Mosaic Decalogue has no more effect today, because it was replaced by the Christian Gospel, which in turn reflects the spirit, if not the letter (2 Corinthians 3), of the Decalogue.' Then why you're not yet here with us? (Hebrews 7, Ephesians 1) Of course, because you hate us (John 15-16, 1 John 3, Isaiah 41, Joshua 3-4). Empire mentioned what they had already written in their Christian Community Bible of the Filipino People: 'the whole world is a temple of Godhead.' If such is indeed true, then why Empire's (1 Corinthians 5) still here yet? (John 17) They're supposed to be wiped out already (Psalm 104), because they're indeed polluting us spiritually (Psalm 125, 2 Corinthians 7,4, Revelation 11) and committing one big indeed Abomination of Desolation (Isaiah 24). Empire does this to punctuate their Constantinians, who begin reading 1 Peter 4 on their Communion/Eucharist season: 'the house of God', the temple which is the church (see January 7 and more so, March 3, 2017), and not only that, just this March 3 itself Diocletianites were claiming Psalm 73, which shall be part of the Empire's text for the formal opening of Kill Jesus Week on March 25 this year. #samefeathers #agenda indeed. Empire does not only pollute earth- the church (1 Corinthians 3, Hebrews 6, Matthew 20-21) but also the heavens as per our mention here again of Revelation 8:1 (Leviticus 26, Isaiah 14, Ephesians 2,6), and even the sea (Revelation 13,16,8-9,17,20). As if not enough, Empire defended indeed their hijack of 'Alpha and Omega' on February 24-March 3-5, 2017. All these Empire churches should ask themselves then: why they allow #Rothschild(mark you! 'Child'! Teach them your Decalogue!) and #Rockefeller and all other Empire industries to manipulate and blaspheme people, most especially yokebearers? Are not they also moneymakers in the house of Godhead which is indeed the world as Empire just stated? (Revelation 18) Why they could not spam them out of our lives? Simply: these Empire churches cannot stand and exist if not for these Empire patrons. If you're fooling, Empire, please- not us. You messed with the wrong Nation. We are Godhead's Family Corporation Sole. (Deuteronomy 32)

Here’s a line-up of the coolest and newest possibilities in store for you in Singapore.

New possibilities to explore

Singapore reinforces its title as the “Garden City” with a new addition to the Botanical Gardens, the Ethnobotany Garden. A nature lover’s dream, the diverse garden is split into four zones based on the plants’ purpose which include craft or construction, domestic, medicinal, and spiritual. This new attraction is special not just because of the beautiful, lush greenery one can find, but the immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences visitors can gain from the workshops, hands-on activities and learning journeys that allow them to nurture a new-found appreciation for nature.

Aside from going on a serene journey around a garden filled with Southeast Asia’s finest flora, how about taking an exhilarating adventure among nets, giant Zorb balls, slides and mazes? Airzone has got adrenaline-junkies covered with the world’s first suspended net playground. Located at the City Square Mall, this massive attraction spreads across six floors with exciting mazes, slides between levels and a ball pit with 10,000 balls. Have fun inside giant Zorb balls, play dodge ball at the game and activity zone and experience the thrills of a trapeze artist in this awesome playground.

Another adrenaline-charged experience awaits at Sentosa’s newest attraction, AJ Hackett. On the shores of Siloso Beach, the colossal 50-meter structure offers a thrilling playground where fearless risk-takers can take an exciting dive from atop its Bungy Tower, whoosh and swoop in with its high-speed giant swing, take a death-defying walk on its 44-meter Vertical Walkway, and enjoy the feeling of walking on air in the glass booths found at the open-air SkyBridge.

Revamped attractions

Passion-powered events and activities

Soak up some culture at Singapore’s biggest Lunar New Year celebration, the Chingay Parade. The word Chingay means “the art of costume and masquerade” so it’s no surprise that the vibrant parade includes spectacular floats, dancing dragons, stilt walkers, and so much more. With the largest street performance and float parade in Asia, one can witness the colorful ethnic diversity of the country as different races perform in their traditional costumes.

Another annual event that everyone looks forward to is i Light Marina Bay, Asia’s leading sustainable light art festival.
