Just in case some of you wonder what i get to do:
I get to hang out with these students and lead worship with them every weekend.
They are the best in the world!!!
You don't even know.

Click Here!!! Look for John Ortberg and Click on Watch.

If you have time to listen to this message from John Ortberg who was our guest speaker at Saddleback, its very, very encouraging.

We love Hillsong United and our "set" up front happened to be Hillsong United. However, watch at the end of the message because Brody (Freshman) sings "Count me in" and it awesome.

Oh if you listen to From the Inside i mess up pretty bad in the first verse.

Always look at the date on your Tickets

2008-04-11T08:56:00.001-07:00

So last Tuesday a mentor of mine gave me 4 tickets to watch an Angel game this past Thursday. I was totally pumped, not because i am an Angel fan, because i am Braves fan who really stink right now with a 3-7 record which is no reason to still be an Angel fan, but this week is spring break for some of our students in our ministry and its a cool time to hang. I made plans yesterday, Thursday, to hang out with 2 students from the band and a random friend of one of the students, to meet at my office at 12 to head up for the game. Around 11:30 Stephen (AKA:Flotch) calls and says, "Taffy are you sure that the Angels are playing today because on the schedule its says there playing at Seattle." So i said "MMMMM hold on let me look at the tickets and YUP your right the tickets were for yesterday." Anyways, the lesson from this blog - ALWAYS CHECK THE DATE ON YOUR TICKETS.

Sorry! Dumb Joke But had to post it

2008-03-29T10:45:00.000-07:00

Death Row in Women's Prison

Three women are about to be executed. One''s a brunette, one''s a redhead, and one''s a blonde. The guard brings the brunette forward and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready! Aim…"

Suddenly the brunette yells, "EARTHQUAKE!!!"

Everyone is startled and throws themselves on the ground while she escapes.

The guard brings the redhead forward and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She say no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready! Aim…"

Suddenly the redhead yells, "TORNADO!!!"

Everyone is startled and looks around for cover while she escapes.

By now the blonde has it all figured out. The guard brings her forward and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready! Aim…"

And the blonde yells, "FIRE!!!"

25 Trips To Chuckie Cheese 28000 Tickets

2008-03-27T17:31:00.000-07:00

So in 2004 the Droopy's 04 discovered one of the greatest places ever, Chuckie Cheese. However, this was no ordinary Chuckie Cheese because this CC has a BUFFET!!! So we would revisit this chuckie periodically. After eating there a couple of times, we decided, hey why don't we save our tickets and get something big. So over four years and with the help of Droopy's 04 and 06 we finally got what we had been working for this:

Let me break it down for you:
28000 tickets
about 25 trips
each having about 10-20 Droopys and friends hanging out
over 4 years
probably 5000 tokens
10,000 Cinamon yum yums
6000 Garlic Bread Sticks
230 cups of soda
15 Salad Bowls (that was when the Droopy Girls came)
7500 slices of pizza

ALL EQUALS awesome HANG!

NOTE: i was guessing at most of these

Here is the funny thing that i hate right now to be quite honest. When people see what we accomplished they usually say "you know you could have probably bought that at the store for cheaper then what you paid for instead of winning tickets", my response to that is "NO CRAP REALLY! WHAT WAS I THINKING I AM THAT BIG OF A MORON!"
Its not about that, its about hanging out with the Droopy's,
its about the Buffet,
its about playing Basketball for tickets and trying to beat each other high score,
its about Marky playing the fish game the whole time we are there,
its about Deal or No Deal and screaming loudly for 4 tickets,
its about Frodo getting punch by the guy who was fixing the machine,
its about watching the lady who is a lurker at one of the games were everytime a child puts in ticket, it adds a point and she would then wait everytime for it to get to 100 points and then try and win it,
its about Jedi thinking he left his phone and we went all the way back to see if it was there but he never brought it and it was in his moms car,
it about the conversations about school, girls they like, life, and how God is moving in their lives,
its about the all you can eat buffet, i know that i sad already but very important
its about a sweet Razor Scooter,
its about saying do you remember the time when we saved up 28000 tickets, yup GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES

So let me just say NO CRAP i know that we could have just bought a razor, but it about fun, memories, food, and hanging out with the DROOPY's.

I love the Droopy's

Droopy's Video Scavenger Hunt

2008-03-27T00:08:00.000-07:00

So today I took some of the Droopy's to hang out at the Spectrum (Orange County outside Mall) today for Spring Break. So we played a little Video Scavenger hunt with just digital cameras that had video capabilities.

Needed:
- At least 2 teams - Team A and Team 1
- A Digital Camera that can record Video
- The USB chord of the Camera
- And a computer to download all the Videos when all is done

THE SCAVENGER HUNT
1 Have a guy (not a girl) on your team, go to Hollister and imitate the models poses.

2 Have a stranger video tape you while they ride the Ferris wheel and you sit on the side watching. Or have someone on your team record another person singing from the top of there lungs.

3 Go into the Apple store, have someone tape someone playing some kind of CLEAN video really loud for about 10 seconds or when a apple person says turn it down.

4 Something Random to get a reaction out of crowd of people in line (like a couple fight).

5 Sit in Barnes & Noble. have a someone read 4 pages of a Dr. Suess book out loud in a British accent.

6 Tape someone walking in front of a crowd and stop and just look at the store

7 Get a crowd of people or people just looking up in the air.

8 Someone pretend to take a shower in the water deals in front of the food court or in front of target.

9 Order a coffee bean (just one) from Coffee Bean.

10 A group of you pretend to ice skate in the open area where the ice skating rink is.

Extra Credit: Make up a Video

Judging Points:
1) Creativity of the Video
2) Camera Shots (The Camera Should never be noticed)
3) Best reaction of a crowd on Camera

Disqualifications:
Getting Kicked Out of any store or the spectrum it self or harming anyone.

Vote for Best Video (We only took the top five that had a chance to win)

Another Gift Today

2008-03-10T22:31:00.000-07:00

We are going to have a GIOVANNI July 22nd!!!

My wife had another present for me and i had no clue and when i opened it, inside was this:

OH YA PHILIPINO

A Confession

2008-03-10T17:29:00.001-07:00

So last week my wife came home with a cabbage patch doll that the Sarti's gave us for Lea's first birthday. I had to confess to my wife, that when i was young child, i wanted a CPK really bad, and my wife totally made fun of me, in which she had every right to. I was around when CPK first came out. The demand was great and the supply was small, similar to the Wii and when XBOX's first came out. Anyways, my wife surprised me with a gift when i came home the other day. It was wrapped in gift wrap. At first i thought it was a Transformer, but as i opened it i realized what it was, and i start laughing when i saw, because it was a CPK doll. Name: Cora Miranda. Now here is the thing I grew up as a only child and all my friends had brother and sisters and so i think i was a little envious. YUP!!!

However, even though i never had biological brothers and sisters. God has brought me into a calling, that when i think about, had a huge influence in why i love student minitries. It because to me my little brothers and sisters are all those who i have had a chance to journey with in the Lord in some way. I known it sounds cheesy but true. SBBC Students, Liberty Students, Droopy's, band kids, Wildside, HSM, and so on. So really i have a ton of brothers and sisters.

Yup a Confession of a CPK Philipino

Probably one of the most awesomest (yes that is a word) snow days i have ever seen at Snowsummit.

Top 7 Moments About The Day

1) 8 Droopy's on the trip
2) when i heading toward the lift, a little Asian kid points at me and laughs and says "Wow those are small skis." It was funny because he looked like me when i was 10, he was chubby and asian.
3) Buffalo throwing up, well not because he threw up, because i felt totally bad, but the fact that he threw up a gallon of what ever he drank and grossed out the table next to us, don't worry he was fine.
4) Snowboarding/Skiing Crew of about 14 going down the hill together = party run!!!
5) Having to put chains our our tires, actually that SUCKED!!!
6) Watching Uncle Doe - first time ever doing something athletic in the Snow - it was awesome!!!
7) The whole crew that went!!!

WILDSIDE BOWL CHAMPS ONCE AGAIN!!!

2008-01-21T21:10:00.000-08:00

So what can i say but HOLY CRAP the
Droopy's Wildside Bowl 08 CHAMPIONS!!!

For those who are reading this and are thinking that this is stupid, that Taffy this just a game, let me just say its not just a game, this is the WILDSIDE BOWL!!! Its one of our biggest events in Wildside (Junior High Ministry at Saddleback Church). This event bring a tone of people out in our ministry like parents, friends, staff, siblings, pet dogs, and hundreds of students. There were about 10 teams for the 8th grade league and 6 teams for the 7th grade league, each having nearly 16-20 students both Ladies and dudes, and to think that each had at least 10 sets of parents for every team watching. There were so many people out there screaming, cheering, laughing, and in my case, being really competitive.

Let me explain why, for the Droopy's, this is such a big deal. The first Wildside Bowl was first played in 2001. And every year the Droopy's have won the bowl except last year we lost to the team "Band of Brothers and Sisters" with a 0-14 loss.

Why was this such a big deal you ask, well let me explain that to you:

1) The Droopy's have existed since 2000 and out of 7 Wilside Bowls, not including yesterdays 08 BOWL, we had won 6 out 7 WIldside bowls.

2) Droopy's 00, 02, and 04 had little brothers playing in the 08 Wildside bowl who played last year and lost. When we lost, it was like someone had past away and Droopy Alumni were coming up to me apologizing and being mournful and the older siblings were asking their younger siblings "How did you lose?" Then they would say to them "Can't believe you lost." It was crazy.

3) The same team that we lost to last year we also had to face in the finals once again.

4) This team that we played were a team made up of football players. However, for us our team was loaded with Soccar players.

5) This other teams was bigger and rougher and that had a intimidation factor, but we had speed and Girls who knew how to play.

6) My students wanted it really bad. So much that one of my Droopy's Ladies (who was a key player, so much that we played 2 safeties and she was one of them, that's how good she was) knew how big this weekend was that she skipped some important soccar tournament that traveled to Arizona which was one of the most important soccar tournaments to advace in as a team in the Soccar. But she missed that weekend just to play in the WILDSIDE BOWL!!! NOT ONLY THAT but 2 of my students got injured in 2 different game prior to the Final game and still played this Championship game (Roadrunner and The Genie)

7) HEART!!!

Anyways yesterday was unbelievable, in the championship game, we nearly scored on every possesion but 2. 1) We had to punt once and 2) the only turn over the game was when the horn went off at the of end the game, Virus (Our Quarterback) just threw the ball up for grabs, when we were winning 51-21, they caught it and ran it back for a touchdown and the final was 51-28. I was telling Dillon, a friend of mine, that every student on the Droopy's worked as a team, that if anyone one of them were gone on Wildside Bowl day, i don't think we would have won because they were such a TEAM. It was unbelievable.

If you were there this was my Top 10 Moments/plays of the day for me.
10 The Cutest QB ever
9 TC's interception called out of bounds in the championship game that was awesome

HSM BOWL!!!

2008-01-16T22:51:00.000-08:00

So this is one of my favorite times of the year, our FLAG FOOTBALL Tournaments for HSM Wildside, our football bowls, and i have oversee the High School bowl.

First let me say it was a crazy week leading up to the High School Bowl because in the middle of the week we had to change locations because the the High School that we were to play at wanted to charge us 1300 dollars. Here is how it went down. About 2 months ago we asked the local school if we could rent their field and they said "Sure no one ever uses our fields on Sunday and the cost was only $50." So we were like sure, we'll take it. So we went to the school and paid for the field and signed a contract. However, we get a call the Wednesday before the sunday we about to have our tournament, and they said sorry, but for some reason someone only charged you $50 dollars, but the field costs 1300. WHAT? Ya ridiculous. So we had to move everything back to the park that we used play at every year, Flo-Jo Park. Don't get me wrong, this park is actually nicer than the school, but Flo-Jo is a first come first serve kind of park, and not only that, but at anytime if the county feels like that is should be shut down to the let the grass grow, they will shut it down. The reason for having the tournament at the highschool was to secure a field and actually have more fields.

Anyways this year i decided not to play in the high school, in which leaders are allowed, and i want to play with my Droopy's, but i decided to only be commissioner and made sure this event would happen. However, i did put 2 teams together and coached them before the bowl. And both teams WON!!! The Droopy Girls in the Girls league and the Tree Lovers which had 2 Droopy's Cody and Spadowski. The Girls pretty much dominated thier league and they went 3 - 1. I actually told them to not use the play book or play as hard in thier 3 game because the team secure a spot in the finals. The team that they played beat them by 1 touchdown and they were all stoked. However, the Droopy's killed them in the Championship by more than 3 touchdowns. It was awesome!!! I was stoked.

I was going to play with the Tree Lovers, but the team was to stacked. I wanted to play with Spadowski really bad because it was his Senior year, but it was to obvious that we stacked the team a little to much. So i opted out and instead just coach them, not during the game, but 2 practices before the bowl and use the play book i made for them. They were all football players.

Anyways this weekend is the Wildside Bowl, which is our Junior High Flag football tournament. Which is another favorite time of the year for me. In the 7 years of the Wildside Bowl the Droopy's had won except last year. We played a team that had all football players that is different from our team this year, most of my guys and girls are soccar players. I know that if we had a Wildside Cup we would totally dominate. Its hard to explain but thier is a different instinct when it comes to football or whatever sport you are playing. And the team last year had the football instinct. Also the 6 years when we we won the Wildside BOWL leaders were allowed to play and it was just last year they took the leader out, i hate that Rule!!! Lol...All is well and its still a FUN DAY!!! Anyways wish us luck for this weekend. I love my Students.

So last Thursday i wanted to blog this, but for some reason i couldn't get the footage off Sue's camera to blog about it, however it downloaded today. Anyway, i went skiing in Switzerland with Sue's cousin's, her brother, and his girlfriend last Thursday. The funny thing was this the mountain where we went skiing was said to be only an okay mountain, yet the runs were awesome and forever long, i wanted to see again what a good mountain was like because it sure beat the place that i have been to in the states.

Anyways, if you never seen a chubby philipino on mini-skis here it is, and if you want to see an awesome scenery, just watch and ENJOY!!!

Jared and Auntie Ray Ray Engaged

2008-01-05T09:53:00.000-08:00

So most of you know that when something exciting is going on i can't keep my mouth shut, i love telling the whole world.

First i had to keep quiet about Sue being pregnant, until she told all her relatives here in Switzerland that she was due in July 22nd. The funny thing is i posted that we were pregnant and the i had to take it off because it was too early, but then as most of you know i posted this past week.

My second exciting news is my Co-Minister Auntie Ray Ray, who pretty much make Student Ministries Worship ministries work at Saddleback, who is like a sister, just got engaged last night to Jared M. Who is a passion for God and for students. Jared actually had breakfast with us on the Friday before we left for Switzerland to tell us that he was going to propose, because he knew that we weren't going to be in town. Last night they had a huge party after he proposed, but i had to wait until it was finally out and Alice just blogged about it briefly.

But i would like to say i kept my mouth shut and told no one, which wasn't easy!!!

JARED and Autie Ray Ray CONGRATS!!!

Rough Couple of Days

2007-12-11T13:22:00.000-08:00

So most of you know that i have had a brief Stomach Virus for about 3 weeks, and how i mentioned, nothing solid. Because of my stomach virus my doctor told me to only eat bland foods (Rice, pasta, bananas, and crackers). to settle it down. And so i did that, however, it triggered my Gout because i didn't eat enough calories, so it messed up uric acid and cause gout to trigger. Don't worry its not contagious, but it is hereditary and i got it from my Dads side of the family.

Here you can see how my right ankle and pretty much my whole foot has swollen. Let me explain the pain a little, its like spraining an ankle, however the pain doesn't go away. I have to take some prescribed medicine which really make me dizzy, droopy, and drowsy, and those who have ever talked to me while under the influence of my gout pills know its pretty funny, because i am all over the place.

Not only that, but to add on to my stomach virus and my gout, but i got hit with, what my wife and i call "THE FLORIDA HEADACHE". This was the worse headache of my life, it lasted for 3 days straight and it was brutal and this happened about 3 years ago. So every time i would get a headache i would freak out, because my wife would always ask, do you a FLORIDA HEADACHE. Well i got one again. My doctor said it was do to stress and a lack of sleep. My headache was so terrible last Sunday when i went to Red Robin i only had one bite of my chicken sandwich and i was done because i thought i was going to hurl. And you know i am a sick if i can't even eat.

Yup so i have been in bed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of this week because of all this fun stuff.

Mom your probably reading this, i am okay, i am just excited about a lot of things going on and i think because of my lack of sleep that i triggered my body stress and this triggered my stomach, my gout, and my headache.

Where Have I Been Someone Asked

2007-12-05T21:26:00.000-08:00

2 Monday's Ago Fuel, i forgot to mention that i caught a stomach virus. I don't know if it was the day before or the morning of. All i know is that i took a couple of Gout pills the night before and i was hurting the rest of the week. I went to the doctors on Tuesday morning and he said pretty much i either caught a stomach virus or it was just stress pretty much, either way its been a crazy past 2 weeks. Anyways, i have pooped nothing solid for about 2 weeks, oh wait i am lieing, i pooped solid every other time for that past 2 days, so it is going away. However, i am still pooping every 3-4 hours. Wish i had seen your reaction as you were reading that. Anyways i am not going to apologize for not blogging, my stomach hurts.
