Skype Classic is BACK. For now.

After public backlash due to the "discontinuation" of the Skype for Windows Desktop that we know and love due to a security issue with its installer, Skype Classic is back with version 7.41.0.101. Many Skype users still favor the Classic Skype rather than the Half-baked, Snapchat clone NEW Skype. Many users were  not pleased upon the news earlier this year that the vulnerability with the Skype Classic installer won't be fixed to put focus on their costumer-hated NEW Windows desktop client. Due to insistent public demand and to losing loyal customers to other services. Microsoft has fixed the issue and released an update to Classic Skype. However, it is not yet safe to presume that they will continue support for Classic Skype in the near future. If only ALL features, settings (especially the advanced ones) and Desktop API support are in the NEW Skype then perhaps the backlash would not have been that severe.

Pag-ibig nga ba?

Pag-ibig nga ba? isang tula ni: Leonard Andrew Villanueva Pag-ibig nga ba Ang aking nadama? Noong tayo’y magkasama pa. Noong nasisilayan pa kita. Pag-ibig nga ba Na sa tuwing napapa-awit ka Puso ko’y napupuno ng kakaibang tuwa Tuwang sa’yo ko palang nadama? Pag-ibig nga ba Nang ako’y nabighani sa angkin mong ganda? Sa nangungusap mong mga mata At kutis mo na kay ganda. Pag-ibig nga ba Na sa paglipas ng ilang taon, Tila’y ika’y linta Na nakakapit sa aking ala-ala? Ako ay umaasa Na ika’y muling makita Nang tuluyan ko nang mabatid  Kung inibig nga ba kita.

December 24, 2017: A Worthily Exhausting Sunday

Something which I believe happens only once in a while is happening today. Yes, December 24, 2017 is a Sunday. Today is an easier day for lay people who are not involved in Liturgical Ministries. On the other hand, Filipino Liturgical Ministers will find this an exhausting day. Like in the case here at our parish, the National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians. Aside from the 4:30 AM Christmas Novena Mass, we have the regular Sunday Mass schedule, a dry-run for the Christmas Eve Liturgy at 9 PM, and preparations at our respective homes. You can just imagine how tired my voice and body will be after singing at 3 or more Masses today. Yet despite the exhaustion, I believe that the efforts that we give are not enough against the ULTIMATE GIFT God gave unto us which is Him being with us. For me, bringing the People of God to worship the Divine Infant who was born on a lowly stable or cave more than two thousand years ago through singing is worth the exhaustion. Through my service, I
