My former Grade 12 PFAC Palawan student Hieu with his lovely Japanese wife- Kyoko Natsui. Their relation defines the real meaning of LOVE. The verses from the Bible is dedicated to you both.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all of you, FAMILY and FRIENDS, and those who strongly believe in
FREEDOM and TRUE LOVE.
FREEDOM and TRUE LOVE.
(1 Corinthians 13:1-13)
Love is patient and kind. It does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.

this is sweet. Happy Valentines as well. (:
ReplyDeleteHi Andy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the very nice post about me. Yes, I’ve always kept with me all the memories I had in the camp (PFAC). As I told you, I was lucky enough to return to Puerto Princesa last April (2008)and it was very heart-touching for me and my wife. We had only 2 days there but the 5 year-time memories just bounced back naturally. I love Puerto Princesa; I love the Filipino people; and I love especially you who partially (but bigger part) made me who I am today. I will write more about my case when time permits.
Lots of love,
Hieu.
