a writer's diary... journalist chronicle...

I have experienced this many times, and it did happen again.

I am writing this because I want to have a journal of this unusual happenings of my life, call this ESP, or anything (ni hindi ko nga alam ang ibig sabihin ng ESP), but what important is to have this written in my diary.

Many times… because it did happened only thrice, many times, maybe… of tens.  Actually, I wanted to consult this to one who has a column in PDI every Tuesday, I have forgot the name, but I think its to early.

I have talked it with Sir Juan SP Hidalgo, and he said, I was a gifted one… I can see the future…

Wow… would you believe it!

Anyway, sir Johnny was a member of a group that I forget the name, the president of which is Sir Guillermo Concepcion.  A member I remember was Rodie Taan.

They wore a necklace that has a big pendant just like of sakupit.

Sir Guiller ratified that, indeed, I can see what will happen to the next day. 

But it was not hastened yet. So I have to take care of it. 

He said that their group can help me… but until now, they never contacted me yet.

 

But hey, I’m getting away from my topic.

The incident was in Oxford Hotel, Clark, Pampanga.

It is the first day of seminar of Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas.  Maybe, it is 4 pm, I was sitting in front, just finished introduces me, when I look back, it came to my mind:  “Hey, it did happen already to me.” 

Yeah, i was looking a the room, the hue, the persons, the coldness of the aircon, the resource speaker, it's all there, it was really happened to me. And then, again, I realize, it happened in my dreams: How we speak, act, laugh... all of it is all the same as I have seen it in my dreams. I was not shock, many times I have experienced this. Of course, it's not only in that instance. The second part was in our room 319. The television, the coffee, the bath towel and how I lay down on my bed.

The 3rd time I felt the parallelism of my dreams to what is actually happening right now is when we where in the elevator. We were joking and laughing at that time.

The 4th time was when I was singing in the dining area after we ate our meal. I sang Honestly by Harem Scarem instead of Honestly by Billy Joel. I didn't finished the song because it's so high that I don't want to be embarassed.

Many times I seen every scene. I just know when it is actually happening.
As I have said, many times it happened to me, especially to the places that I haven't been there.

Next time, I will write it again, here, in my... DREAMS!

A devastating win by Manny Pacquiao against David Diaz in 135 float made many speculations whose next for Pacquiao in the square world.

Could it be Britain’s Ricky Hatton whose only defeat was of Floyd Mayweather? The fighter who is now in the list by many spectators could draw bigger green bucks if they got the chance to square off in the next bell ring?

And many believe, he is the best in the list?

The undefeated Edwin Valero is also in the green light. But the boxer is presumably over rated and could not stand the punching power of Pacman. Many believe he could not stand that long… six rounds is the best world for him.

And then, again, the great Oscar Dela Hoya. It would be a mega-bout if these would happen. If Pacman wins again Oscar, then, trainer Freddie Roach can pull now the gloves off the hands of his favorite fighter and hang it in his gym.

Floyd Mayweather is in the hopes of many aficionados, but I think, the chance would be 80 to 20 percent. He is in the helm and he doesn’t want that to be broken.

There are many prospects in the higher weights, but in the 130, I think, there is no one can stand in him.

If they persist, it would be better for Pacquiao to get retire…

It was Good Friday of the Holy Week of this year when something happens to Gigi.
She collapsed without any apparent reason. At first, they thought it was just an ordinary collapsed of a girl, that maybe, suffering from low iron or low blood.
But in the next day, she lost her consciousness again.
And the next days, she collapsed not only once... or twice, or thrice... it seems that every hour, she lost herself.
Until she can't bear it with herself.
Her parents thought that she's suffering something that a doctor of medicine cant cure.
They tried to brought here on some 'baglan' in the locality.
Many of them... but none of them relieved her.
They say, the one who 'naglugan' to her was a strong one.
Until they came to "mangngagas" from Bagar, Candon City.
The 'baglan' knew, that the pretty girl was a special one...
"She will be a great healer." He said.
That 'mangngagas' from Bagar cured her.
And... Ginalyn became a great healer.
That time, when she collapsed again... and raise her hands upward sky, speaking of a dialect they can't understand. A voice mimic to a cute Nino...
And that was the beginning...

Now... as a gifted one... she continues to cure their illness...
As I've heard, she's not only catering in her own little place, but now, she's going to different place... a place where there are many people who need her... her Miracle Healing.

It was Saturday, around 7:30 in the morning.
I have to interview Gigi, and so I go as early as I can to their house.
Presumably, I go to their family house in San Pedro, not in Paras, where I first saw her.
She was lying in bed when I get into their house.
She said she was exhausted from all day-all night long miracle healing... until 3 o clock in the morning of this very day.
She's very willing to be interview though she's weak.
Before I interview her, she ask permission from Apo by closing her eyes for a few minutes. When she open her eyes, she said, Apo has permitted her to be interview over the radio.
During the interview, she lies on her bed.
She explained that the 'gift' must be done not for monetary consideration.
And so, she's not accepting any cash amount, or gifts from her clients.
She may accept, but only flowers, coconut oil and, candle.
She further explained that red color is forbidden to her because it is the color of the blood.
She hates black because it is loneliness.

My first attempt to inteview Gigi did'nt succeed.
I was wearing red... and it prohibits me to come near to her.
From a distance (maybe 8 meters), on a makeshift room, I saw her, wearing white.
She's talking something, in a voice so fine... I thought she mimic a baby's voice.

It is her 12th day of healing.

Since I cant go beside her, I tried to interview her mother and father.
But they decline, saying: "Apo, won't allow us... we'll have to get permission to Ginalyn."
And so, I turn to Irene Almeranas to have some details.

She said, it is on May 21, 2008 when Ginalyn first act as a miracle healer
It was 3pm on that day, Gigi feels dizzy, faint, until she collapsed.
She fell on the ground...
When Gigi's conscious was returning, there was something unusual to her.
She held her arms up just like of the statue of Virgin Mary.
And saying something that they cannot understand.

"When I saw her like that, I know it, that she can cure illness." Irene said.
And so, she held her child, and bring it infront of Ginalyn and beg to heal her child.
She has cough, and phlegms.
"Please, cure her disease." She said.
"If you believe, she will be healed." The unlikely voice said.
After that, the people who saw the healing of Ginalyn lined up for their turn.

And the words spread, that there's little lady who can cure illnesses... who can cure the deaf to hear again, who can cure the blind to see again...

But... is there any proof that she's really a miracle healer?

Does someone testifies that she really is a healer?

How does she know that she can heal?

Ginalyn Gamueta, or 'Gigi' as she called by peers, 22 years old is as pretty as she is.
A shy type of a lady from a small barangay of Paras/San Pedro, Candon City.
She's simple and quiet... not until she became a faith healer.
The then quiet barangay Paras, was now a guests to thousands of people...
Because they believe that Gigi can heal their illness... all of their illnesses.
From a simple body ache to cancer... they bring it to her... for the cure.

She was born during the Edsa Peoples Power... February 25, 1986.
Her father is Reynaldo Gamotea, now 48, and her mother is Evangeline.
She is the eldest of the 3 siblings,
She has a twin, named Jerlyn Gamueta
but was died when she was 1 year old.

Sto. Nino and Apo Lakay was the one who is instrumenting her to cure the diseases.
But you have to wear none red and black color if you want to come in their place.
If ever you wear this, she will suffer the pain.

After i have interviewed her, from tens of people who gather in their yard waiting for their turn, it became hundreds, and then thousands.
As early as 7am, she was disturbed and heal until 3am in the next day.

How did she began healing?
Is there any proof that she's not another Judiel...
Before she began healing, what she suffer first?

This questions will be answer in the incoming post...
