Inspirasyon

by: Alyssa Rae M. Capulso

 
Ano ba itong aking nararamdaman?
At para bang hindi ko maintindihan;
Halos di mapakali at di ko akalain;
Mabighani sa ‘yo sa unang tingin.

Simula sa paggising ko sa umaga;
Minu- minuto, oras- oras kitang naiisip;
Isang tingin at ngiti mo lang;
Abot langit and kasiyahan.

Ang tanging mithiin ko lang naman,
Kahit maging malapit kitang kaibigan
Sana mapansin mo ang aking nararamdaman
Na ang tanging hangad tapat at tunay lamang.

Para sa akin, nag- iisa ka sa puso,
Mahirap ipaliwanag pero ‘yon ang totoo;
Sa tuwi- tuwina, ikaw lamang sa isip ko;
Kaya asahan mo, ikaw lamang sa puso ko.

…………………………………………………………………..

A Friend

by: Lilibeth Ombega

In my eyes, I see a friend
In my mind, I think of a friend
In my sleep, I dream of a friend
In my heart, I keep a friend.

For words when spoken
and hearts when broken
Mistake and wrong must be forgiven
Because you are my friend.

Friends make me feel glow
In search for the rainbow
I find no gold but you
Which I’ll treasure, that’s true.

The essence of friendship
Is measured by hardships
But my friend please don’t give up
I’m just here to cheer you up.

August 7 Update- big thanks to Ms. Maridel Olandesca

The Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila is staying in Sapian for 9 days- from August 5 to 13, 2008. This is the first time that the Nazarene had left Quiapo; this was made possible through the efforts of Mayor Arturo Orosco. The devotees organized vigils at the Roman Catholic Church in Poblacion, Sapian, Capiz.

Muntinlupa, the sister town of Sapian had donated 10 computers to the Municipality of Sapian.

2008 photos are now available for viewing at the Pictures Gallery: Thypoon Frank photos, schools and municipal events.  Fiesta photos coming soon!

2008 Fiesta Queen: Ms. Denise dela Torre
2nd Princess: Ms. Jay Anne Orillos
3rd Princess: Ms. Camelle Oroceo Diyanggco

HAPPY FIESTA SAPIANONS !!! I wish I am in Sapian right now! The thoughts of religious ceremonies, festivities, gourmet selection, and dances made me wish I could leave the winter cold and just ride a broomstick and zoom all the way to Sapian. If only it’s that easy : )   

I rang Sapian today and learned that a lot of fiesta photos were taken. We could all thank Maridel Olandesca and Adelfa Vestidas for that. We might get some photos from Malou Obligacion of SNHS; and I was told that Nene Gallardo (from Canada) took several photos for Sapian Online as well. Very nice!!! Thank you all so much in advance. Bisan sa pictures won lang, makakita man kami. 

I talked to Arnz Caberte last June and he told me that Sapian was heavily affected by typhoon Frank, he was directing the process of tidying the mess at the back of the town market. In other parts of the town, some houses were damaged and trees uprooted. Maridel Olandesca sent us some photos of the devastation. We will show everything once we get organised here in the website. I bet the typhoon has long been forgotten now that the town festivities had started.

Our thanks and appreciation to Ms. Maridel Olandesca for sending us a lot of photos. It will be displayed at the pictures gallery as soon as it is ready.

I- WEBSITE UPDATE

Before I left for Sapian in May, the administrators viewed the website’s statistic. It showed that eventhough people are not posting, we have a lot of traffic. People are reading especially the news items, the articles, and the most popular ones are the photos.

It is a little disheartening to see that Sapianons are not posting but I would like to think that it has nothing to do with indifference. I believe it has more to do with the culture. This is a little hard to explain so I will just leave it at that. What is important is that people are still obviously interested. 

To those who got my grip about the culture thing, this is what I want to say. If you are still caught up in that, how long are we going to wait for you to overcome that? One may say: “ahhh, I’m too shy to participate”, or “ahhh, I’m too busy”, but please don’t say “ahhh, is that all they can do?.” Alfonso, Civic and I, did the best we can and will do more. What we want to see is for more supporters to come forward and help out.

We now live in the global world, let us shake off the negative culture that doesn’t serve us anymore. SOL will continue whether you help us or not. But we can accomplish much, much more if more people make an effort to contribute.       

When I came back from Sapian, I got a lot of news information with me. I have talked to few people in Sapian that could help us improve the content of the website. I left 2 digital cameras there so we can have more photos. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to digitise all these and we have no working bees in the website. There is a need for us to get organised and share the workload.

I PROPOSE TO FORM COMMITTEES, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Send an email to sapianonline@yahoo.com.

Please don’t be shy, WE NEED YOU!!!

(more…)

The messageboard is now online. I apologize if it looks very different from before. My goal for this version is to integrate every parts of the web site into one.

 In addition, it seems that the guestbook won’t be back. I don’t see why the site needs a guestbook when we already have a messageboard. The guestbook became a messageboard in the past anyway, so I’d rather eliminate that redundancy and nuisance in moderation.

After a couple of years, version 3.0 of Sapian Online has materialized. For the rest of the day, I will be restoring posts and pictures. For now, enjoy the new look and refresh your memories. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Firefox users may have trouble viewing the sidebar headers, we’ll fix that.
