"APRIL FOOL'S DAY"? Song "FOOL AGAIN" that in the past I really felt was referring to me...? Just follow my picture-story-BLOG to understand that I'm simply not just over-PRANING... Who am I? Am I a being who was created like a GOLEM to serve a particular purpose? Why so many significant persons & events close to me?... Just a few hours ago, I was in the Internet in the downstairs computer & I was watching YOUTUBE... "THEY" hacked the computer so that instead of my Youtube choice a message appeared that read "Sorry or Wait?... A team of MONKEYS is blah blah... THEY are playing games with me?... THEY got INSULTED by my HARHARs??? ACTUALLY, if it's all so FUNNY why so many apparent MURDERS & DEATHS around me that from my VIEWPOINT I can tell are NOT ACCIDENTAL/CHANCE EVENTS... It's not yet a month since Tausug NM Unding died & just a few days back, a distant relation, Michael P.... To be continued in my other BLOGS...

CONTINUATION OF OLONGAPO FIESTA program:

FRONT COVER

RIZAL is a PERENNIAL FAVORITE

But it seems (2009) some people have already come up with new versions of NOLI...

Some more pix from an old album in Batangas:

BAGUIO CITY CAMP JOHN HAY COUNTRY CLUB

in the 1930's? or 1950's?

In the 1960's & 1970's this place was almost the same/identical/unchanged

FEU bldg remains basically unchanged until the present
Note the old post-war ("WW2") JEEPNEYs, NOW, it's "WW3".

U..S.T. 1950
Before shifting to EDUCATION, my mother started off in college as a NURSING student. I believe she enrolled in this course for just one semester. Note the garb of the priests and nuns of presumably the DOMINICAN religious order. One priest in front tries to hide his face. I am tempted to offer a cash reward for anybody who can identify my mother in the picture. That the PHILIPPINES was and is influenced/controlled by CHRISTIAN particularly CATHOLIC religious orders must always be kept in mind by anybody who wants to understand its HISTORY, POLITICS, etc etc etc

PLAYING IN THE BERMUDA GRASS

with my two older siblings in our ALITAGTAG home
Note the markings on the white U.S. NAVY SPECIAL SERVICE car
[A digital image of this was stored in the STOLEN CELLPHONE that was snatched from me in DIVISORIA in the not too distant past by some "PC"s (Not Personal Computer or Philippine Constabulary but Police Characters - "LAGLAG TUWALYA GANG"). These people operate on the principle of SECRECY/CLANDESTINITY? But what do the people in this archipelago need to hide?
WE/THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE!
After 400 years of OPPRESSIVE COLONIZATION by foreign invaders - Spaniards, Americans, ETC ETC what SECRET need we hide? The POVERTY of the natives? Their LACK OF WILLPOWER as a people? Their SLAVE MENTALITY?...

A WELL-LIGHTED KAROSA
MAY 31 ALITAGTAG MAYFLOWER FESTIVAL

This celebration is based on EMPEROR CONSTANTINE & his mother HELEN'S SEARCH FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST... Definitely a CRUSADEs remnant from the COLONIAL PAST... But I am a MUSLIM now...

Receiving my Grade 1 FIRST HONORS MEDAL & being pinned by my mother...

Am in ill-fitting AMERIKANA 1st-time tailored by the brother of my WARAY male yaya... Not visible is an UGLY GASH just below my left eye... A MESTIZO AMERICAN playmate named "ROBERT" was responsible for the accident - I was thrown off a WAGON towed by the boy & I hit my face on the concrete pavement... Real BLOOD flowed... A few days before this end-of-school ceremony... I remember that day when I was brought to the doctor for treatment of my wounds -that was the very first time I RODE A MOTORIZED TRICYCLE... Robert never showed himself near our house after the incident because he got a real spanking from one of my aunts, my mother's cousin who is now in the U.S. Now, DON'T ASK ME why the very nice, mild-mannered IRISH reverend-priest-PRINCIPAL of my OLONGAPO school is named "WILLLIAM SULLLIVAN" just like the then U.S. AMBASSADOR to the PHILIPPINES...
