A great true story from honda club phils’ forum

Notice: Before reading this story, I would like to inform you that this story was dapted from ulop.net post which according to the person who posted this, he read it from honda club phils’ forum and if ever I am violating any rule from honda phils’ club website/forum, please inform me. I’ll delete it as soon as I will receive your message. Many thanks!

The post goes like this:

Good Morning.

I cant post this on any forum because your i am not allowed to do so (im not really sure why, bec im new i guess hehe). So i decided to send you a personal message since you are heading this club. I would like to share a story of (i guess) one of your members based on a sticker i saw in his car. It’s a gray Honda Civic with plate number ULV 633. The sticker says EK Elite. I dont know what does that stand for until i saw another car with the same sticker but has a HCP Sticker at the back windshield and i saw the url so i assumed that hey are under 1 club. i decided to check the url and saw that it is honda club of the Philippines.

Anyways, here is the story.

Me and a friend was having lunch at hotrocks in libis (near cub 650) when a couple entered the resto. The lady was pregnant. They sat down in the table right behind us. They ordered and waited for their food. While waiting, i noticed a really old lady holding a piece of paper outside the resto. I think they saw it too because the guy, a quite tall guy went out and approaced and talked to the old lady. The young man took the paper the d lady was holding and held the old lady’s hand and asked her to come inside the resto. He offered the lady a chair beside hiw wife. I heard the man say “babalik ako” and he went out and drove his car. The wife and old lady started talking but the old lady couldnt barely speak i think because of her age. The food came and the wife and old lady started eating (since the couple ordered, there are two plates, i think the food for the man was given to the old lady). After around 20 mins, the man returned, parked his car in front of the resto, went inside holding a plastic bag from mercury drug store. He handed over the plastic bag to the old lady and the old lady started weeping. She was crying while he embraced the young man. She also gave the lady a hug. I heard the old lady say “salamat sa inyo. maraming salamat. pagpalain sana kayo ng Maykapal” The lady started to walk away still weeping tears from her eyes then she went out of the resto. We looked at the old lady walk away. I heard the man tell his wife, “sabe sa mercury, gamot daw yun for brain cancer stage 3″

As my friend and i walked out of the resto, i told her that i was dumbstruck. I could have done something to also help out the lady. But wasnt able to do so because i was so amazed.

I would like to salute whoever the couple was. God was with you that day.

If you would like to share this to other members of the club so that this can reach the couple, please do. Just let them know that their deeds didnt go unnoticed. Thanks.

My SmartBro

Yes, I want to talk about my SmartBro connection in our house. The canopy/antenna was installed and my connection to the internet has materialized last March 2007. So it has been 1 year already but this month I had put it to “temporary disconnection” since I don’t have the finances to support it already, hehehe.

As per connection of its downstream and upstream, I didn’t have problems with it. The last time that I experienced lag time was when I wasn’t able to access the net but that was once only and never did it happen again. My area is in Bagumbong, Cal. City (North) and as far as the relay antenna is concern, according to the agent that I applied with, it was just in the baranggay adjacent to us, so it’s near. It’s 2-3 kms. only from where we live.

At first I was hesitant to subscribe from SmartBro because of the things I was hearing and the messages I have read from different forums. Nevertheless, since I didn’t have any other options because PLDT at that time was forcing SmartBro to places that they want to saturate, I was forced to get subscription from them. Also, Bayantel didn’t have existing lines in our area until now, I think. According to a person we’ve talked with, it’s because they haven’t got any approval from the office of the ”upper” in the city hall. I thought, oh, that’s it, you know? Hehehe.

By the way, when I made the “disconnection” notice in their wireless center in Ayala, Makati, I didn’t think they have this “temporary disconnection” as I have mentioned earlier. This will enable you to postpone them from pulling-out their canopy until further notice to them that you will continue or totally discontinue your subscription. But this is only valid from 6 months of your notice to them. There’s a minimal charge to pay though but I thought this is worth the hassles that they will do in pulling-out the canopy from the roof of our house, hehehe. And so I paid.

Until now I’m still enjoying the connection but it will be until April 10 only. Thanks to SmartBro. (I should have to be paid with this testimony, hehehe).

The strength I see in President GMA

With the desires of many people to unseat Mrs. Arroyo from her throne, there was no one who succeeded until today. I just don’t know these next days. I think she really has the command and power to many in position most especially to those she designated or assigned in a certain positions.

I believe many of us know that the “control” is there because of what she has been doing, like what I have mentioned above. Also, she really feeds his goats to become sheep and make her their shepherd. Mrs. Arroyo is wise as I can see. She really knows what she is doing. You can’t really put her down as you wish.

This point should be the consideration of the people who want her out of her office. One thing that I can see which makes the oppositions not able to succeed over her is that they lack “unity”. PGMA knows this much, she know what to feed her goats and she know when to feed them.

Although you may not agree with me that I consider it as strength of Mrs. Arroyo, it’s actually what is happening. If I have to put it in basketball, she really has always the edge because she can see the movements of her rivals and what is happening to her teammates though she doesn’t actually have the “heights”. She uses the powerful thing in her head. And she doesn’t normally talks too much, she listens and she observes like a beast in the wilderness to catch his prey.
