My wife and I, along with our son, Carl Justine, attended the second grand reunion of the Laplana Clan which was held in Malitbog, Southern Leyte.

Actually, we attended only two of the activities of the reunion: The motorcade and the beach program.

The grand reunion of the Laplana clan was actually held in two days. On May 7, 2011, most of the participants of the reunion attended the Mass at the Sto Nino Cathedral in Malitbog- Southern Leyte which started at 8:00 AM. Then it was followed by the motorcade which started from the town plaza, just outside the Cathedral.

The motorcade went first to Barangay San Juan – Padre Burgos then went back to the Malitbog proper and then proceeded to the Holiday Beach Resort, formerly Ingko Mino Beach Resort in Barangay Juangon – Malitbog.

The registration, including the lunch and short introduction of the every families were held in the said beach resort. The activities of that day ended at late afternoon.

Actually, I was the one who introduced the family of my grandfather Lorenzo Laplana. My short speech had brought laughter to the listeners especially when I introduced my sisters Elma as the care-giver in the Home for the Aged in Barangay Benit and Gigie as the care-giver at the Home for the Aged in San Agustin – Surigao del Sur. But my relatives laugh more when I introduced my cousin Laurence. I told them that he already had three “panganay” (first born children).

I am not actually the one tasked to talk about our family since my aunt Pening was there. But when she refused to talk, Yo Lingling, my father’s first cousin, called me up to talk in behalf of my aunt.

On the next day, May 8, the second day of the activities was held. The torch parade started at late afternoon and was followed by the evening program, including the dinner, parlor games, family presentations and disco. But we had not attended these activities because we headed home already in Hinunangan – Southern Leyte on Saturday after the beach party because my wife had her appointments early on Sunday.

But we enjoyed the reunion so much. I just hope we can attend the next grand reunion of the Laplana Clan.

By the way, the photos I collected from other Laplana Clan members and the photos I took during the clan’s 2nd reunion will be posted at my Gallery Website. You can directly visit the page for the Laplana Clan 2nd Grand Reunion by clicking the link.

We’re here in the hospital (Southern Leyte Provincial Hospital) since last night. My wife is currently in labor. And I think, Carl Justine will be born this morning.

I don’t know how to make this post long. What I know is that I’m very much nervous and excited. Wow! Is this the real feeling when you became a father?

PS.

Yuga sent me money through PayPal. Thanks a lot po, malaking tulong po ito sa akin ngayon.

Few hours from now, 2008 will be put to its end and we’ll be starting to live with the new year, 2009. While waiting for the entrance of the year 2009, I am here writing this letter to tell you how thankful I am to you for subscribing the feed of my blog, for visiting my blog, for reading my writeups, for sending me your comments and thoughts, and for inspiring me to write.

Without you, this blog is nothing but a dead blog. It’s you who made this blog alive. And it’s also you who made me alive now.

Yes! All of you, who visited my blog, subscribed my blog’s feed, and sent and dropped comments, are the ones who helped me survived the hardship in life.

I have food to eat. I have clothes to wear. I acquired cellphones, Digital Camera, TV, Refrigerator, and few important gadgets. I have paid our apartment and other bills. And my wedding had been successful. 2008 is really great.

You already knew that I am one of the jobless Filipinos. However, I became different from them just because I am earning a decent income through my blogs. And of course, this is all because of you. Without you I couldn’t earn even a single cent.

However, I also know and understand that you wouldn’t be here and I wouldn’t be earning money from my blogs if God didn’t permit these to happen. So, above all, I thank God for all of these things.

Happy New Year!

I know that the large percentage of our readers are feed subscribers via email. And I also understand that as I publish article everyday they are also receiving email that contains my write-up everyday . In other words, they are receiving 30 emails from me in 1 month. I think it’s not already good to look at their inbox filled with emails with the subject “Learn Lessons with SELaplana.” So, I decided to set schedule in publishing my write-ups every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 13:05 Philippine time.

Special announcement posts and examination results are not included on this schedule. I will publish them immediately soon as I finish writing them.

My advantage too

Publishing 3 articles in one week will also give me time to work for my other blogs. You already knew that I am maintaining so many blogs. I also need to give them time.

And not only that, I need to work more hard editing and enhancing the themes of the blogs, their SEO, and other important things so that our blogs will gain more visitors, because gaining more visitors means gaining more income.

Questions, Comments and Suggestions

If you have questions regarding anything, or comments on the write-ups published, or suggestion on what to do with this blog, feel free to email me by replying my email or contact me here.

I want to make it clear that the deadline for the LET Registration for the April 2008 Licensure Examination for Teachers will be on January 31, 2008 according to the schedule set by the PRC.

I’m sorry again for the mistakes in my previous post, “Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers April 2008.” I told you there that the deadline would be on January 2007 and that the exam will be on April 2007. Again, I’m sorry for that mistakes. I want to thank also RJ for informing me about this.

Yesterday, two reviews were sent online at the two blogs as their responds on our call to Review Me Challenge and Win program. So, I think, it will be better if I’ll consider them the winner of the said program.

You might be wondering what’s the prize that the winners of this program will receive. Well, I already mentioned it on the program post:

1. Free short review about your blog.
2. Free backlink to your blog.
3. Free blog promotion to this blog’s visitors (more or less 2,000 visitors with more or less 170 feed subscribers) which might become your blog’s frequent visitors, feed subscriber or ad visitor.

So here’s their prize:

(1) I thought, therefore I blog

Betshopboy owns and maintains the blog, “I Thought, Therefore I Blog”. From the blog itself, we’ll learn that Betshopboy aims to become a mogul. I wonder if he can surpass John Chow and Jeremy Schoemaker.

He started the blog last July 30, 2006. But then he became serious just this May 2007. I don’t know what inspires him. But I quess, he was inspired by the way other bloggers earn money from their blogs.

He said, he want’s to help other (bloggers or whoever) earn money online, but I don’t think he can do that if he will not try to become active in making money online just like what John Chow and other online moguls did, because one thing I know is, you can only teach or help someone earn money if you tried it, experienced it and learn from it. Remember that what you’ve learned from your experiences are the ones you are sharing your students or clients.

As of writing this post, Betshopboy published reviews on blogs offering ReviewMe programs. I think, he also learned something from this program which led him to offer a Review Exchange program on this blog.

(2) Just A Review

Last month, May 2007, a new blog was created just for the reviews which F. Kusna made. In the whole month, he posted only 3 reviews which includes the free review he made about our blog.

J. Kusna plans to fill up this blog with blog reviews, website reviews, hardwares, software, affiliate programs, ebooks and more. And also offers to review blogs without asking fees.

However, I was thinking that this blog is created for PPP, Blogitive, ReviewMe and similar third party advertising services. So, I want to tell J. Kusna that he still needs to work hard in order to gain higher ranks and traffic for this blog which are one of the requirements so that a blog can be accepted into the mentioned services.

Last Words

Again, these two blogs are the first batch winners of our Review Me Challenge. Want to become winner? Visit this page for more details.
