Spot for students, always

Wilson Lee Flores last night had dinner w/ Philippine Star reader (former Zamboanga student) & his wife who emailed me 5 years ago, he & his new wife are here in Metro Manila for a short trip so I invited them to dinner. No matter how busy I am in realty business & other stuffs I do, I always reply to every letter from my column's readers & give special attention also to letters from students. I have a spot for students, always

This was the Fb post of Mr. Wilson Lee Flores after our dinner last week. Mr. Lee Flores is a realty entrepreneur and broker, Philippine Star columnist (with the funniest email address), magazine editor, and part time teacher. He is so busy. Very busy. But as he puts it, he gives special attention to students (which I was when we had email correspondence years ago). I love it when older folks invest a lot on the next generation. I emailed him years ago just to comment on his column. Recently, we got to call and text him unknowingly interrupting him on his meetings. But then he made way for me and my wife for us to meet up and hang out. Over dinner, together with some of his friends, we had a great conversation about our work in the ministry, the state of the students today, and how important Dumaguete being a university town is. It was already an honor being with him and his friends, but they went to as far as really listening to us talk our hearts out over matters concerning the next generation.I just really wish for more people like him in our nation.

23 Days before the EN10

30 minutes after the registration for the Every Nation World Conference 2010 opened in the Philippines, I got to contact TicketWorld through phone from Zamboanga for a reservation. The woman on the phone told me it was crazy. People were just rushing to get it line even hours before they opened. Because it was that crazy, they know it's gonna be something BIG! The upcoming conference's got something big and special for the STUDENTS. If you're a student and you're not yet registered, let us help you with it. Contact me @ 09062321689 or Ree @ 09179001064.

Do Hard Things

I'm on page 73 of our new book, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations. So far it's a great read. It's a new generation Randy Alcorn endorsed book written by the twin brothers of I Kissed Dating Goodbye author Joshua Harris. The authors started the TheRebelution.com and were supposed to hold conferences in Manila and Cebu but failed to due to their mom's illness. My wife picked this book at Powerbooks and I must say it's one of those that helps us get on track. How I wish this one was available ten years ago. If you are a teenager, invest on this, this might really bring out the elephant in you! Buy it now. My Rating (so far): 4 of 5 stars. Hehe

My wife is reading Malcom Gladwell's Tipping Point and On the Anvil by Lucado. My rating based on how she's glued to it: 5 of 5 stars.

I think it's important to keep this going

I've just used up 3hours of tonight trying to rearrange this site. I'm back to blogging and I hope to keep this going. This is just really important.
