Wake-uppers:
Scene: Summer
Gimik in Bohol: Anda, the beautiful. When it comes to beautiful, breath-taking
beaches, the town of Anda offers some of the most beautiful shores on earth. The
Anda beaches boast miles upon miles of pristine, white, sandy shores and the
gentle waters lap at your feet in a veritable kaleidoscope of electric blues
and sparkling jades. Anda has also cave pools like Cabugnaw and Tibao. A
trivia: Anda has appeared on ABS-CBN’s Panday
in 2006.

Scene: Months before the
height of election campaign, this lady councilor's (who is seeking higher
position) poll numbers routinely hovered in the stratosphere. Last week, with
LC basking in the glow of victory in a short, her rating suddenly appeared very
low. "Imagine Kuya Leo, wala jud
siya ming-attend sa ilang pangampanya pila ka days. She was frustrated
jud," says VRS. "She was thinking that head of the group junked her unya naay lain gidala. Pero giam-aman intawon siya." LC
had to withdraw her candidacy but was advised not to make such “desperate”
move.

Here’s
an interesting contribution from my Cebuano doctor-friend about the newly Pope
Francis which she found on Facebook:
Recently,
when he left his apartment at Domus Marta and went out into the hall, the Pope
found a Swiss Guard standing at attention outside his door.
He asked him, “And what are you doing here? Were you awake all night?
“Yes,” the guard answered respectfully.
“Standing?”
“One of my colleagues gave me a break.”
“And you’re not tired?”
“It’s my duty Your Holiness, for Your safety.”
The Pope looked at him with kindness. He went back into his apartment and, after a few minutes, returned with a chair in his hand: “At least sit down and rest.”
Shocked, the Swiss Guard replied, “Forgive me, but I can’t! The rules don’t allow it.”
“The rules?”
“My captain, Your Holiness.”
“Oh, is that so? Well, I’m the Pope and I am asking you to sit down.”
So, between the rules and the Pope, the Swiss Guard, complete with his halberd, chose the chair. And then the Pope brought him some bread and jam for a snack, saying, “Buon appetito, brother.”
He asked him, “And what are you doing here? Were you awake all night?
“Yes,” the guard answered respectfully.
“Standing?”
“One of my colleagues gave me a break.”
“And you’re not tired?”
“It’s my duty Your Holiness, for Your safety.”
