dear diary,

one evening about two weeks ago, an acquaintance asked me if i believed
in christmas. when i told him that i did, he asked me what christmas is
all about and i told him it is the birthday of Jesus Christ.
he then said that this belief is not in accordance with the bible.. he
told me that he belongs to a church that teaches that december 25 is not
the true birthday of Jesus Christ. well, i told him that in the
philippines there are also churches that claim that Jesus Christ was not
born on december 25.

but i added that catholics believe that christmas is the birthday of
Jesus Christ. i then told him i had the perfect christmas song for him
that dealt directly with this issue. i then continued by singing to him
a line from the next song in side B of the search for your dreams album
and the line goes this way, " just believe it when they say, Christ was
born on christmas day....

title- feel the flame (of love again)
melody/lyrics - silvestre j. acejas
guitar - mario a. costo
singer - virginia a. estores
album - side B of search for your dreams
recorded at the anchor electronic media center in 1993

guitar intro

feel the flame of love again
cause it's christmas time my dear
may the season never end
may its joy run through the years

may your christmas dreams come true
as we're told they often do
hear the carols as you leave
just be home on christmas eve

i will keep on loving you
christmas time and new year too
here's to wish you all the best
i am sure He'll do the rest
(God i'm sure will do the rest)

just believe it when they say
Christ was born on christmas day
and He came to make it clear
you and i to Him are dear

guitar instrumental

may the flame of love remain
as we live down all the tears
till it's christmas time again
may the flame of love remain

can't you see it's oh so true
christmas time and new year too
i will never let you go
all because my love is true

i will keep on loving you
christmas time and new year too
here's to wish you all the best
i am sure He'll do the rest
(God i'm sure will do the rest)

just believe it when they say
Christ was born on christmas day
and He came to make it clear
you and i to Him are dear

i will keep on loving you
christmas time and new year too
here's to wish you all the best
i am sure He'll do the rest
(God i'm sure will do the rest)

just believe it when they say
Christ was born on christmas day
and He came to make it clear
you and i to Him are dear
you and i to Him are dear
you and i to Him are dear

again tonight, i met lady who when i greeted her happy thanksgiving day
came to me and said her church is teaching them that there is no special
holiday for thanksgiving because she said everybody should give
thanksgiving everyday. and i said the same is true in the philippines.
there is no special day for thanksgiving because i said the belief there
is that everyday is thanksgiving day.

then she added that their church is teaching them that chistmas day is
not the true birthday of Jesus Christ. and i told her it's the same in
the philippines because there are also churches there that do not
believe that Jesus Christ was born on christmas day.

but since she was a complete stranger, i did not dare sing to her the
same line from the above song which says " just believe it when they
say,Christ was born on christmas day.

dearest josie,

thanks for the pictures of maceo, tallulah, and mom.... by the time i
saw them, winnie chan was already here from dallas... jun chan came in
at twelve midnight and saw the pictures yesterday noon... they both had
a nice time viewing the pictures of your two apos and your daughter
in-law... and the pictures were much easier to access than the ones we
sent you...

actually, winnie came to visit us as he had promised to us in manila...
after attending an arthur andersen conference in dallas... representing
the accounting firm of sgv... wherein he is a partner... jun came to
fetch and bring him to deatsville, alabama.... i think winnie came just
in time for the formal opening of jun's clinic there this week... allan
was not able to show winnie around atlanta because he was and is still
down with the flu he caught since thursday...

we were up till past three in the morning... just indulging in
conversation about so many things, including the traffic situation in
the manila... which is why our two visitors just spent the whole morning
yesterday sleeping... but they were able to go shopping at a tangier's
outlet store in macon yesterday afternoon before driving to alabama
before seven in the evening...

i indeed hope we'll really have a happy christmas reunion at jun's place
in deatsville... in fact, we are hoping other clan members can join us
there... jun has said everyone is welcome to do just that...
by the way, baby and i, netnet and her hushand, benjie, were able to
visit ninang juana and netty in munoz dec first... it was heartening for
us to see ninang juana looking fine and in the best of health... at a
time she was eagerly anticipating a belated birthday celebration she was
planning to hold a day or so after our visit...

she even gave us two autographed copies of her book plus a copy of her
picture with former president ramos as a remembrance of our visit... one
for baby and me.... and one for netnet and benjie... complete with her
affectionate dedication... she and netty showed us around the house,
especially the air-conditioned balik-bayan room upstairs... then she
asked netty to show us the j & p and the flaviano a pelmoka
buildings.... netty said we had better luck than george who was not
able to go inside or up the latter building....

netty and joe were not able to join our family reunion in fairview but
were able to attend netnet's and benjie's wedding and reception.... we
all missed ninang juana at both gatherings though...

netty was also able to join us in morning breeze during the mini reunion
we held there after the wedding reception of kuyang salvador's first
apo, the daughter of atty francisco salvador b. acejas III... netty came
in the evening, although by the time she arrived, kuyang salvador and
ate zeny had already left... but she was able to see and talk to linda
acejas... who came in about the same time as netty... this wedding was
held about almost one week ahead of netnet's wedding....

once again, thanks for the pictures... and it's certainly nice to hear
that george is out of retirement and back to work....

best regards,
bomboy
