Request transformers
When everything has failed and you absolutely need a feature in Otoroshi to make your use case work, there is a solution. Request transformer is an experimental feature hidden behind a feature flag that allow you to code how Otoroshi should behave when receiving and rounting an http request. With request transformers, you can change request / response headers and request / response body to way you want.
Request transformers is an experimental feature. It can change until it becomess an official feature
Request transformers is a very powerful feature that allow you to do almost everything you want. But like any powerful feature, it comes with a price. The fact that you are responsible for how the request is transformed makes you responsible for all issues introduced by the transformer. If you block the current thread, introduce big latency, generate uncatched exceptions, etc. it’s your fault. You have to ensure that your code is fast, non blocking, safe, etc. In any case, Otoroshi developers will not responsible for issues caused by a request transformer.
And always remember this quote from uncle Ben Winston Churchill:
"Where there is great power there is great responsibility"
Enabling request transformers
First you have to enable Otoroshi request transformers with the -Dotoroshi.scripts.enabled=true
flag, or using env. variable OTOROSHI_SCRIPTS_ENABLED=true
.
Anatomy of a transformer
A request transformer is a piece of Scala code than can handle the complete lifecycle of an http request made on Otoroshi
case class HttpRequest(url: String, method: String, headers: Map[String, String], query: Map[String, String], cookies: Seq[WSCookie] = Seq.empty[WSCookie]) {
lazy val host: String = headers.getOrElse("Host", "")
lazy val uri: Uri = Uri(url)
lazy val scheme: String = uri.scheme
lazy val authority: Uri.Authority = uri.authority
lazy val fragment: Option[String] = uri.fragment
lazy val path: String = uri.path.toString()
lazy val queryString: Option[String] = uri.rawQueryString
lazy val relativeUri: String = uri.toRelative.toString()
}
case class HttpResponse(status: Int, headers: Map[String, String], cookies: Seq[WSCookie] = Seq.empty[WSCookie])

Writing a transformer from Otoroshi UI
Log into Otoroshi and go to Settings (cog icon) / Scripts
. Here you can create multiple request transformer scripts and associate it with service descriptor later.
when you write an instance of a transformer in the Otoroshi UI, do the following
import akka.stream.Materializer
import env.Env
import models.{ApiKey, PrivateAppsUser, ServiceDescriptor}
import otoroshi.script._
import play.api.Logger
import play.api.mvc.{Result, Results}
import scala.util._
import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContext, Future}
class MyTransformer extends RequestTransformer {
val logger = Logger("my-transformer")
// implements the methods you want
}
// WARN: do not forget this line to provide a working instance of your transformer to Otoroshi
new MyTransformer()
You can use the compile button to check if the script compiles, or code the transformer in your IDE (see next point).
Then go to a service descriptor, scroll to the bottom of the page, and select your transformer in the list
Providing a transformer from Java classpath
You can write your own transformer using your favorite IDE. Just create an SBT project with the following dependencies. It can be quite handy to manage the source code like any other piece of code, and it avoid the compilation time for the script at Otoroshi startup.
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).
settings(
inThisBuild(List(
organization := "com.example",
scalaVersion := "2.12.7",
version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
)),
name := "request-transformer-example",
resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("maif", "maven"),
libraryDependencies += "fr.maif.otoroshi" %% "otoroshi" % "1.x.x"
)
When your code is ready, create a jar file
sbt package
and add the jar file to the Otoroshi classpath
java -Dotoroshi.scripts.enabled=true -cp "/path/to/transformer.jar:$/path/to/otoroshi.jar" play.core.server.ProdServerStart
then, in your service descriptor, you can chose your transformer in the list. If you want to do it from the API, you have to defined the transformerRef using cp:
prefix like
{
"transformerRef": "cp:my.class.package.MyTransformer"
}
Getting custom configuration from the Otoroshi config. file
Let say you need to provide custom configuration values for a script, then you can customize a configuration file of Otoroshi
include "application.conf"
otoroshi {
scripts {
enabled = true
}
}
my-transformer {
env = "prod"
maxRequestBodySize = 2048
maxResponseBodySize = 2048
}
then start Otoroshi like
java -Dconfig.file=/path/to/custom.conf -jar otoroshi.jar
then, in your transformer, you can write something like
package com.example.otoroshi
import akka.stream.Materializer
import akka.stream.scaladsl._
import akka.util.ByteString
import env.Env
import models.{ApiKey, PrivateAppsUser, ServiceDescriptor}
import otoroshi.script._
import play.api.Logger
import play.api.mvc.{Result, Results}
import scala.util._
import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContext, Future}
class BodyLengthLimiter extends RequestTransformer {
override def transformResponseBody(
snowflake: String,
body: Source[ByteString, _],
rawResponse: HttpResponse,
otoroshiResponse: HttpResponse,
desc: ServiceDescriptor,
apiKey: Option[ApiKey],
user: Option[PrivateAppsUser])(implicit env: Env, ec: ExecutionContext, mat: Materializer): Source[ByteString, _] = {
val max = env.configuration.getOptional[Long]("my-transformer.maxResponseBodySize").getOrElse(Long.MaxValue)
body.limitWeighted(max)(_.size)
}
override def transformRequestBody(
snowflake: String,
body: Source[ByteString, _],
rawRequest: HttpRequest,
otoroshiRequest: HttpRequest,
desc: ServiceDescriptor,
apiKey: Option[ApiKey],
user: Option[PrivateAppsUser])(implicit env: Env, ec: ExecutionContext, mat: Materializer): Source[ByteString, _] = {
val max = env.configuration.getOptional[Long]("my-transformer.maxRequestBodySize").getOrElse(Long.MaxValue)
body.limitWeighted(max)(_.size)
}
}
Using a library that is not embedded in Otoroshi
Just use the classpath
option when running Otoroshi
java -Dotoroshi.scripts.enabled=true -cp "/path/to/library.jar:$/path/to/otoroshi.jar" play.core.server.ProdServerStart
Be carefull as your library can conflict with other libraries used by Otoroshi and affect its stability

a programmer.
I'm a programmer. Also, Biscuit Oliva is really cool, so I decided to put his photo here. I hope you like it!
I like both playing and developing games, and I like programming in general. I just want to make something that other people can enjoy and take advantage of.
I like pepper. That's a skill, I'm telling you. Also, I'm writing more because I had written so little that the icon and the text placement was looking kinda strange.
That was a joke. I don't want you to contact me.
Well, if you really want to, you can, but I can't guarantee I'll even read it.

JPEG 2000 for Pascal is library for Object Pascal (Delphi and Free Pascal) developers that want to use JPEG 2000 images in their applications. It is based on OpenJpeg library written in C language (BSD license). C library is precompiled (using C++ Builder for Delphi and GCC for FPC) for several platforms and Pascal header is provided. Some higher level classes for easier manipulation with JPEG 2000 images are part of the JPEG 2000 for Pascal as well.
Delphi: Just add some of JPEG 2000 for Pascal units you wan to use to your uses clause (must be in you search path) and precompiled library will be linked automatically.
Free Pascal: OpenJpeg is compiled into static libraries so you have to set library search path when compiling your project. Libraries are located in J2KObjects directory.
If you want to recompile OpenJpeg yourself (custom modification, other compiler settings, etc.) note that Pascal header is based on SVN revision 507 with my CDEF patch applied (needed to store alpha channels correctly and for better compatibility of saved files with other software). You can get the patch and some more info here: OpenJpeg group on Google.
In this thread there's also a mention about channel values being saved as 128. When library is compiled with GCC (depends on optimization settings) fourth and subsequent image channel is saved wrongly and all pixels have the value of 128 for this channel. So when recompiling make sure you test if this problem appears.


In the age of the Internet
Most live lives
Surfing
Through seas
In the surface
At full speed
They can't stop
They can't analyze
They can't decide
Just go by
At full speed
Wave after wave
Without curiosity
Without imagination
They just live
As addicts
For the next
Small
Uncontrolled
One second thrill.
But there are a few brave ones
Enlightened ones
Romantic ones
That take themselves
Seriously
Boldy
Calmly
Wisely
To choose
And instead
To be a diver
To reach the most profound emotions
Warmths
Beliefs
Views,
Led by imagination
Passion
Love
In a single point of the sea
For a single rock
For a curiosity
To never stop swimming
With hope
To the deepest of depths
To the realest of feelings
Independent from time
From distractions
From surfaces and sounds
And with light
With colors
And patience
Create and explore
The most gorgeous things
The world is yet to see.


You can edit the picture on any toolbar button. To do this you must have the Customize dialog open (use the Tools/Customize menu item). Right-click the toolbar button and select the "Button Appearance" item from the popup menu to bring up the Button Appearance dialog.
You can also create a toolbar button for a command that does not already have one. For example, many menu commands do not have images. Also non-menu commands that are, by default, just available through keyboard shortcuts can be added to a toolbar. To do this drag the command from the Commands page of the Customize dialog onto a toolbar and select the "Button Appearance" item from the popup menu as above.
In the Button Appearance dialog, select to display the button as "Image Only" or "Image and Text" then select "User-defined Image". You can then create you own image using the "New" button, or select from one of the predefined buttons or any buttons you have previously drawn. You can use one of the pre-defined buttons as a starting point by selecting it and clicking the "Edit" button.
The button editor (invoked by the "New" or "Edit" button) provides basic editing tools such a freehand and line-drawing, color-selection, fill, circle/ellipse, eye-dropper, clear etc. You can also create an image in another editor and paste it in using the paste button.
Note that any images you create or edit are kept in a file called ToolbarImages.bmp which is stored in the same directory as any saved keystroke macros. If more than one person use the same computer and edit their toolbar buttons then they should use different folders. See Macro Options page for how to change this location.

It's common to need to pass extra information to a callback method, but since all callback methods have only one parameter (the return code from the remote method) this can be tricky.
DWR addresses this problem with the addition of several optional attributes on the call options object: arg, callbackArg, and exceptionArg.
For an alternative approach you may use a Javascript closure.
DWR allows for an argument to be specified and passed to handlers -- eliminating the need for JavaScript closures. This argument can apply to the callbackHandler the exceptionHandler, or both. In order to take advantage of this feature you must use a call options object (call options object is explained in the scripting introduction).
var dataFromBrowser = ...; var callMetaData = { callback:callbackFunction, arg: dataFromBrowser // specify an argument to pass to the callback and exceptionHandler }; Remote.method(params, callMetaData); function callbackFunction(dataFromServer, arg1) { // you will now have access to dataFromBrowser as arg1 }Rules:
var dataFromBrowser = ...; var dataFromBrowser2 = ...; var callMetaData = { callback:callbackFunction, arg: dataFromBrowser, // specify an argument to pass to the exeptionHandler callbackArg: dataFromBrowser2, // overrides args will be passed to the callback exceptionHandler: exceptionHandlerFunction }; Remote.method(params, callMetaData); function callbackFunction(dataFromServer, arg1) { // you will now have access to dataFromBrowser2 as arg1 // callbackArg overrides arg } function exceptionHandlerFunction(exceptionMessage, exception, arg1) { // you will now have access to dataFromBrowser1 as arg1 // arg also applies to exceptionHandlers }
DWR also addresses scope issues within callback and exception handlers. We have added several optional attributes on the call options object: scope, callbackScope, and exceptionScope.
(function() { someObject = {}; someObject.privateVar = "Private variable from the main object."; someObject.callbackFunction = function(dataFromServer) { alert(this.privateVar); // The preceding line will alert the value of privateVar. // The key here is the use of 'this'. The scope is not // lost because it is specified in the call options object // and used to execute the callback function. } })(); var callMetaData = { callback:someObject.callbackFunction, scope: someObject }; Remote.method(params, callMetaData);Rules:
Note: The default scope is window.
A JavaScript closure is required to pass extra data to a callback or exception handler prior to the 3.0 release. For example, your callback method needs to look something like this:
function callbackFunc(dataFromServer, dataFromBrowser) { // do something with dataFromServer and dataFromBrowser ... }
Then you can arrange for this method to be called as follows:
var dataFromBrowser = ...; // define an erasure function to store a reference to // dataFromBrowser and to call dataFromServer var callbackProxy = function(dataFromServer) { callbackFunc(dataFromServer, dataFromBrowser); }; var callMetaData = { callback:callbackProxy }; Remote.method(params, callMetaData);
(The call options object is explained in the scripting introduction)
In other words the function that you pass as the callback is not the real callback - it's just a closure that acts as a proxy, to pass the data on having added in the client side data.
You could write this more succinctly as:
var dataFromBrowser = ...; Remote.method(params, { callback:function(dataFromServer) { callbackFunc(dataFromServer, dataFromBrowser); } });

Elementary students celebrate beloved cafeteria worker's 95th birthday
by WSBTV.comGWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Martha Strickland is known simply to the kids as "Granny" and it's hard to find someone who's more loved at Shiloh Elementary School in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
“Granny is wild. Every day is a new day with Granny here,” said principal Thomas Trippany.
Just like she has for the past 27 years, Strickland showed up to work in the school cafeteria Tuesday morning. But it was a special day for Strickland.
Granny turned 95 years old and celebrated in the only way she knows: by handing out cookies to the students who love her.
“That’s just insane how long she has been living," fifth-grader Kevin Orr said.
It’s become a tradition for Granny to hand out cookies to students on her birthday. She has done it for so long that some of the kids back in the day are now parents themselves.
“I love them and they love me. That means the world. It don’t cost nothing to love somebody,” she said
This is Granny’s second career after she worked in data processing in the City of Atlanta for 30 years. She came to Shiloh Elementary in 1991 and hasn't stopped loving her job.
“How could you be any happier?  It's wonderful,” Strickland said.
It's easy to see why the students and faculty love Granny. The school named a garden after her, and they have a plaque with her picture on it at the school entrance.
“I always try to say hi and give her hugs. I know she love hugs,” said student Larissa Halilovic.
She may have been working for 27 years, but Strickland said she doesn't see her time as cafeteria worker coming to an end soon.
Granny got approved for a long-term driver's license, so she can continue driving until she's 102 years old.
“I’m not going to sit at home in a rocking chair and say I’m old. That’s not me," she said.


Don't give voting rights for 25 years, Shiv Sena on Citizenship Bill
Participating in the debate on the bill, Vinayak Raut (SS) said there is no clarity yet on how and in which state these people would be rehabilitated. He said framing laws is not enough and there is a need to implement them properly.
by PTINew Delhi: The Shiv Sena on Monday said in Lok Sabha that people who get Indian citizenship under the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill should not be granted voting rights for 25 years.
Participating in the debate on the bill, Vinayak Raut (SS) said there is no clarity yet on how and in which state these people would be rehabilitated.
He said framing laws is not enough and there is a need to implement them properly.
He also said that while citizenship should be granted, such people should not get voting rights for 25 years.
Raut was of the view that besides Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, refugees from Sri Lanka should also be allowed to get Indian citizenship.

Getting familiar with the inputEx markup structure will help a lot if you want to change CSS.
div.inputEx-fieldWrapper (+ state CSS classes) // Label floating left div.inputEx-label label // Field floating left div.inputEx-Field // field wrapper div.inputEx-AnyField // Description div.inputEx-description // Messages floating left div.inputEx-message // clear left floating div.breaker
The "fieldWrapper" create a box that contains the entire field, labels, descriptions, widgets, etc...
The wrapper childNodes have the "float" css attribute set to "left" so you can decide where to break lines between them by using css: it gets much easier to put the label over the field, or the messages under etc...
Take a look at the password field to see how it adds a strength indicator widget between the div.inputEx-Field and the message.


Pushing Tin ***
rated R starring John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie, Jake Weber, Kurt Fuller, Vicki Lewis based on the article "Something's Got To Give" by Darcy Frey written by Glen Charles and Les Charles directed by Mike Newell
According to a character in PUSHING TIN, Mike Newell's very interesting new comedy, air traffic controllers have a higher risk of depression, alcoholism, and suicide than workers in any other profession. When I first heard the remark, I took it as a joke, but after the film was through, I understood that it was indeed a fact.
John Cusack stars as Nick Falzone, a New York area air traffic controller who, according to himself, "pushes tin" better than any of his colleagues. His marriage to Connie(Oscar nominee Cate Blanchett) is working out fairly nice, and he doesn't let the fact that he has to make thousands of fateful choices every day bring him down.
But then Russell Bell(Billy Bob Thornton), the Marlboro Man of air traffic control, gets shipped from his southern post to New York. An intense rivalry between Nick and Russell begins. Nick begins to crush on Russell's young, voluptuous, alcoholic wife Mary(Angelina Jolie), while Russell starts to take a liking to Connie. Nick and Russell's rivarly ensues during work and at home, with each character trying to outdo each other so intensely that they end up trying to control not only planes but their own lives.
John Cusack is fine as always as the protagonist, and PUSHING TIN is a film in which he can show off his dramatic and comedic chops. It has been a while since Cusack's sarcasm and charisma totally shine in one performance.
Billy Bob Thornton stays low-key during most of the film, but he portrays his villain nicely. Thornton is indeed talented, but I'd like to see him play more SLING BLADE-type roles instead of being typecast as a southern devil who just happens to have a certain amount of grace.
Cate Blanchett's performance, though, is questionable.  She tries hard enough to perfect a New York drawl but her Australian voice pops through one too many times. Blanchett is a commanding actress, and she deserves a role with more prowess.
And then there is the great Jolie. Angelina Jolie. There is nothing that special about her performance in PUSHING TIN(she is very underused), but she is much different than her characted in PLAYING BY HEART, so I guess I'll say that she shows some depth. Seriously, everyone should take notice. Angelina Jolie is going to take over Hollywood.
Director Mike Newell has shown his knack for drama(DONNIE BRASCO) and comedy(FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL), and PUSHING TIN gives him the chance to combine both. For the most part, it works very well, but the last 1/3 of the film features a couple plot elements that are too contrived to take seriously. If nothing else, Newell has provided a film that works on many levels, both as a drama and a comedy, and also the film shows us very interestingly a job that many of us have never seen or even thought about. PUSHING TIN is also partly a romance, but mostly it's just the kind of film you want to see. That's my recommedation.

We got up and went walking this morning. We had just got home and into the shower, when President Brimhall called. He said he needed more information on Joselito Arcega Tobias and his bride to be, Marites DeGuzman Gamurot. They are trying to get married in the Manila Temple, but her father is objecting, even to the point of being violent and having Joselito killed. I hurried and got dressed and went down to the Munoz Chapel to visit with President Gajonera. We tried to get contact with either one of the couple, but could not at that time. I came home with what information that President Gajonera could give me. We got ready to go out to Paniqui District Leadership training. On the way we made some calls and received some calls with information about the wedding. I did leadership training with the Branch Presidents concerning the conducting of interviews. It went fairly well but I only got ½ ways through the presentation and ran out of time. Elder and Sister Clark came out to the meeting also. After the meeting, the four of us went out to eat and visit. We were tired when we got home. Mae laid down and went to sleep, but I stayed up working on a letter for President Brimhall concerning the information that I had gathered.
Sunday, May 02, 2004
We over slept, but as it is Fast Sunday we were able to get ready ok. We attended the Paniqui 1st Branch. After Fast and Testimony meeting we attended the Primary. They were better prepared that most Branches that we attend but still have a long ways to go. That building is also the District Center and today is the dedication of the building. Dedication meeting was to start at 11:30 AM, so I left the primary room and met the Branch President in the hall way. I checked with him about letting the primary out to attend the dedication. He said he wanted them to remain in primary, so Mae stayed and kept the children there. I attended the Dedication. President Brimhall gave a talk and the dedication prayer, doing a very good job. After the meeting I tried to meet with the Branch President of Paniqui 1st Branch. I didn’t get to far with him, in fact I felt like I was not wanted. His attitude, that I received, kind of upset me. Joselito and Marites were their when President Brimhall came for their temple recommend interviews. Also Wilfredo Sagun was also there to get his Temple recommend as he will be getting married on the 18th of May. Mae and I came home about 2 PM. We turned the A.C. on and shut the bedroom door to keep the cool air in and took a nap. We later got up and ate dinner. Mae got on the computer to write to our children. I watched the afternoon session of General Conference. Mae watched conference tapes while I worked on the computer catching my journal up to date. I talked to President Go this evening by phone about our trip to Baler to do some training. I also called President Brimhall about the way finances are handled with the Baler Branch, as they do not report to a district.
Monday, May 03, 2004
Someone texted us a thought at 6:30 AM, although we didn’t recognized who it was. We were a little late getting up, but still went walking. We showered and had breakfast after returning home. Marlyn came while we were eating breakfast. She said the she had heard that the power was going to be shut off today. We hurried and filled some water containers just in case. We got on the computer and visited with Jeff and Gail using instant messaging. As we were closing with Jeff, Scott came on and visited for a while. Mike is in Florida, Sandi is having trouble with her computer, and we don’t know what happened to Shellie and David. We enjoyed the visit. Marlin came and washed our car. Shortly after he left President Rodelio Cabuyaban and Ivan (his son) came to make a payment on his loan. He had texted Mae asking if she could give him a haircut like she did Elder Browning, so she did.  I tried to teach him more about farming and encouraged him to try a new way of planting pechay. They hadn’t been gone for long, when Marlin returned with his wife and son. Mae had wanted to visit with Imelda about Relief Society. I visited with Marlin about Home Teaching. When they left Marlin and I loaded the old clothes dryer onto his tricycle for him to take it to Ronald. While we did this Sister Mercado came over to get the material and clothes to use as patterns to make Mae some dresses and me some slacks. We then went to San Jose to do our grocery shopping. Mae stopped to talk to the man (an artist) who has his business set up at the front of CVC. He is very friendly and very talented. Mae always admires his work and talks to him. Tonight he asked about our daughters as we had introduced them to him while they were here visiting. Mae said “I don’t know where they got their talent as I surely don’t have the talent and you and they have. He looked at her and said “You have the best talent.” Mae asked what he meant and he said you teach people about God and you help people and spread God’s word to all the people. That is the very best talent a person can have.” Mae was surprised and agreed that it was the best talent and that we are blessed to be here serving on a mission and representing the Lord, Jesus Christ. Mae wants to bring him a Book of Mormon next week when we come to do our grocery shopping and ask him if he would be interested in hearing the missionaries. We were very tired when we got home. We warmed up some supper, Mae then watched General Conference. I worked on the computer catching my journal up.
Tuesday, May 04, 2004
We went walking at CLSU this morning. As we finished we stopped at a fruit stand and bought some mangos and cantaloupes for breakfast. I gave Mae a hair cut and colored her hair. I then went to town and bought new tires for the car. While downtown I paid the phone bill. We ate lunch and then I drove out to President Cabuyaban’s and visited with him about his farm. We talked about the possibility of raising rabbits for the meat. He went with me and we visited a carpenter shop in his area about building me doors for our cabin, and also about building a table for Nida Valenton’s massage therapist office. I left him some plans for the table and he will get the price back to President Cabuyaban. As I was returning home it started to rain hard. I took a nap and then we ate some supper. We decided to go visit President Neito, but found that he was not home. Mae suggested that we visit the Corpus but I felt that we should visit Roger and Heidi Sylvia. When we got there, Roger said that Heidi had told him that we were going to come and visit them this evening. We visited with them for a while, mainly about their church callings. We were sure glad that Mae had been inspired to go visiting and that was inspired to visit the Sylvia’s.
Wednesday, May 05, 2004
We went walking this morning. It had rained hard yesterday, but it was very warm and humid today. We had several text messages when we got home, which slowed us down. Sister Gajonera came over about 10 AM and visited with us about Joslito and Maritess’s wedding. His parents, aunt, sister and President Gajonera went out last night to try to visit with Maritess’s parents, but that didn’t go very well. The father just became even more angered. I told her that we hadn’t heard back on the direction from President Brimhall and advised Joslito and Maritess to just go a head with their wedding plans without the consent of her father. She said that is the way Joslito feels and is sure they will. She also asked if it would be possible for her to come over on the 10th and bake an anniversary cake for her husband. It will be their 3rd wedding anniversary on the 11th. The 10th is Election Day here and we have been told that on that day we were not to leave the house, so it would be a good day to have company. I worked on the computer and Mae worked on Primary, then at 4:30 p.m. we had a sandwich and then went to President Neito’s as we had an appointment with he and his wife at 5:00 p.m. Mae visited with Sis. Gena Nieto about Primary and I visited with Pres. Nieto about enduring to the end and magnifying our calling. Mae was able to get us an appointment to meet with he, his counselors plus their clerk and executive secretary for this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. at his house so I can give them my “Interviews” presentation. He was not at the District Branch President’s meeting in Guimba when I gave it to the other branch presidents in this district. Mae is pretty aggressive these days. Afterwards, we went over to visit the Corpus family. The father and daughter were there, but Susan was at the Palanki working as a meat vender. We visit with Tatae Corpus and Joy and then he said if we could wait, he would go and pick up Susan. We did. Mae tried to visit with Joy, but Joy doesn’t understand nor speak much English. Mae was getting worried about what else she could say, when Joy excused herself and came back with some photograph albums. That saved the day as we all looked at the photos and commended about them. Soon he and Susan came and we visited with all of them for a few minutes. They are a neat family, just wish they would be more committed to the gospel. We came home and worked on our presentation for Baler, finding pictures, scanning them and working on the Power Point Presentation. It was late when we got to bed.
Thursday, May 06, 2004
We didn’t wake early enough to go walking this morning. I got a call from Brother Noel Delosanto at the P. B. O. regarding the maps I have asked for several months ago of the Guimba District. He said that he thought they would be here this week. Mae worked on the computer most of the day. I got some of our Mannatech put into capsules. We went to San Jose to return the conference tapes to President Apao and sent some blanks tapes with them asking that he duplicate the conference onto them. We did some grocery shopping as we will not be able to go shopping on Monday as it is Election Day here in the Philippines. While shopping a Pilipino couple approached me and said, “Elder Browning, do you remember me?” I had to omit that I did not remember him. They are Bishop Graspe and his wife Lea of the San Jose 2nd Ward. We visited with them for a few minutes.  After returning home we ate and then I worked on the computer.
Friday, May 07, 2004
We woke up at 5:00 a.m. and hurried to get ready to leave by 7:00 to pick up the 4 Munoz Elders down in the town, where they have recently moved, so they could ride out to Guimba with us and then we would go on to Paniqui for the District Development Meeting. We enjoyed visiting with them on the way. They are squashed in like sardines in the back seat, but they say it is much better than riding in the jeepnies, plus it is free. We enjoyed being with the Paniqui Elders at their meeting also. President Brimhall was also there to interview the Elders and spoke to them about doing a pilot program. We went over to the Baiola’s afterwards to see if Noemi had the medications she needs. She doesn’t have the one lotion so we told them we would get it for her right away. We then went to visit Sister Nida Valenton to see if she had the prices for her Business plan. She was happy to see us, but very embarrassed because she has a little Nipa Hut, and she couldn’t invite us in because it was too hot in there and too small and she doesn’t have a fan. She felt bad that she couldn’t and also that she didn’t have food to offer us.  She is such a special lady. Mae hugged her and told her that it doesn’t matter, that we loved her and Heavenly Father does too. She told her that it isn’t the size of the home that matters, it is love that makes a house a home, and she had lots of love. She started to cry and hugged her back. She got a couple of plastic chairs and we sat there in the small area she had in the shade. She did have the figures so we will figure it up and present it to Elder Hyers tomorrow. In the afternoon, I worked on the budget, the business plan for Sister Nida and then sent an e-mail to President Brimhall concerning some questions which President Nadada had talked to me about there at Paniqui. President Nadada arrived just as we were getting ready to leave. We really had to chuckle as he came on his motorcycle. As he took off his helmet, he said “Wow! This heat is terrible; it is going to drive me crazy. But the thing that was so funny is that he was wearing a coat along with the helmet. We see this over here all the time that they are wearing coats as they drive their motorcycles and trikes. We guess they figure the wind is to hot to blow against them, we guess, but we don’t know. I then took a nap. Mae made brownies to take tonight and we left at 6:30 p.m. to go to President Neitos to give the Interview training with him, his counselors, clerks and the YM President. It went well.
Saturday, May 08, 2004
We went to Guimba this morning and helped the Hyer’s set up for their workshop on employment. There were only 2 people that were there at 8 AM, but they continued to come in until we had almost 25 to 30. Sister Nida Valenton came but I didn’t feel she really need the work shop so I took her out side and worked with her on her business plan. I guess only time will tell if she can pull it together. We broke at noon for lunch and went over to Cindy’s for lunch with Elder and Sister Hyer. We enjoyed visiting for the few minutes. We went back to the church and had about ½ of the class return. Mae and I stayed until about 2 PM and then we came home to get some rest. We tried to reach someone in the Paniqui 1st Branch to find out if they wanted us to give a seminar on Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching this evening but we could not reach anyone. We stayed home and rested. President Mercado and his family came over and brought me a training DVD for Branch Clerks. Mae worked on the family letter. I prepared dinner and then did up the dishes. We got several rain storms this evening. They are quite hard when they come. I guess we are in the rainy season, although we think this is earlier than it was last year. The weather is very hot and we mainly stay in the bedroom with the air conditioner. President Brimhall had called me this morning to let me know that the First Presidency had given permission for Joslito and Maritess to get married in the Catholic church and then go that same day to be sealed in the Temple. I visited with Joslito and he said they would go to the Temple on the 15th and be married and sealed and then the next week to have a civil wedding by the Catholic Priest. He asked if we could attend the wedding on the 15th. I called President Brimhall this evening and he said that was ok with him. We will try to do that.
Sunday, May 09, 2004
We arrived at the Paniqui District center by 8:30 AM for meetings with the 1st Branch. There was a young American there that looked like a missionary, except he didn’t have a badge on. We told him so and found out that he was a missionary here and went home shortly before we got here. He and two other x-missionaries from the Philippines and 2 other boys just came back for a visit. It was fun visiting with him. Mae and I went into Primary and did most of the Primary together. We hope the leaders are gaining something from us. I visited with the Branch Presidency after the block meetings while Mae visited with the Primary Presidency. I felt much better with the Branch Presidency this week. When we started for home, Mae had received over 6 texts wishing her a Happy Mothers Day. She had received some before we left home this morning also. It was 3 PM before we got home. We got something to eat and then laid down for a nap. I only slept for a few minutes when stomach problems woke me. This evening we read from the novel “Lifted Up”. David called and talked to us for about an hour. It was mainly to wish Mae a Happy Mothers Day. We sure enjoyed visiting with he and Shauna.
Monday, May 10, 2004
We slept in until 6:30 AM. Shortly after we got up the cell phone rang just once. It wasn’t hard to guess who that call was coming from. President Cabuyaban calls that way and then hopes that I will call him back. He has been doing some research on rabbits and the possibility for raising them for meat and a profit. I will figure out a time to get with him. It is encouraging that he is thinking of how this idea can become a reality. We can’t go very fare from the house today as it is Election Day and Americans may not be safe. President Brimhall asked us to stay around our home, especially this evening. At 9AM we got on the internet with Sandi. Jeff and Gail got on about 9:30 AM, and then Scott got on. Sandi and Jeff had left the conversation and we visit with Scott about buying the house. We were about to sign of when JaNae got on. Scott stayed on for a while and then we visited with JaNae until almost 11 AM. It was a wonderful experience visiting with our family. President Gajonera’s and his family came over. Lorna had Mae help her bake a cake and ice it. The cake is in honor of their 3rd wedding anniversary. I put the DVD of Bambi on for their son to watch. After they left we ate dinner and then I got on the computer and balanced our bank statement. At 3 PM we went over to President and Sister Mercado’s for a Birthday party for their son Lagrande. I mainly visited with Roger Sylvia and President Gasmena. He is 2 years old today. We came home and shortly after Brother Sylvia came over and checked out the Anti-virus program on our computer. Just as I started to discuss another problem, Ronald Dator came. I asked the two of them about hooking up our speakers to the VCR and also to our projector. They showed me how and Ronald also went to town and bought me the cables I need to do it. We have some good friends here. This evening Mae and I read from the book “Lifted Up”. It is really a good book and we have a hard time putting it down.
Tuesday, May 11, 2004
We got up and went walking this morning. Mae got on the internet and received some messages and sent some. She had problem with the computer being so slow that it took a lot of time as she tried to send e-mails. I therefore cleaned the C drive and then ran the Defragmenter program. After doing so, the programs ran much faster. While waiting for these programs to run, I had time to capsulate some of my Mannatech product. At 6 PM Eliaza & Eva Gajonera, and Girlie, their cousin, came over and they and Mae made a Texas cake and iced it. We watched some pictures and then watched the first of the film “How Rare A Possession.” Mae and I had to take them home as the jeepnies have quite for the night. When we got back home, we watched the last of the film. I entered my journal entry before we retired for the night. We used the projector to view the pictures and the film. It makes the viewing very nice.
Wednesday, May 12, 2004
We got up and went walking. When we returned the phone was ringing. It was Elder Clark, to let us know that Elder and Sister Maharry would not be going with us Saturday. I next got a call from Noel Delosantos from the P. B. O. informing me, that the maps of the Guimba District that I have been waiting for, had arrived and he would send them to me by way of President Mercado. We ate breakfast and then Sister Mercado, President Mercado’s mother, came with Mae’s dresses she made for her. We spent quite a while working on a presentation for Baler Branch. This evening we attended the Young Women mid-week activity, for the Munoz 2nd branch. We got on the internet and got a couple of e-mails. We were up late reading from the novel we have got involved in.
Thursday, May 13, 2004
We got up and went walking at the collage. We came back home to shower and eat breakfast. After we started working on the computer, which took most of the day. Sister Mercado came with my two pair of slacks that she made me. I really like them. This afternoon we drove to San Jose to do some shopping. As we drove Mae read from the book “Lifted Up”. After buying our groceries and going to the car, I decided to purchase a roasted chicken. The young man selected the chicken and then cut it up. I do not know where the Filipinos learned to cut up chicken, but they use a meat cleaver and chop it up into small pieces. When we returned home we continued to add pictures into our computer files. We are establishing quite a large file of Church Pictures that we can easily access for use in our training presentations. President Gajonera and his family came to visit with us, asking for directions to Clark Air Force base. Before going to bed, we finished reading the book. We spent some time getting a suggested program for the training at Baler, to Elder Gouch. We asked him to visit with President Go about the training program.
Friday, May 14, 2004
We got up at 5:30 AM in order to pick the Munoz Elders up at 7:45 AM. We took them to the Guimba Chapel and then we went back to visit President Cabuyaban. He paid us P1,000 but is having trouble doing that. I don’t know if he will get the loan paid back or not. We attended The Guimba District Development meeting. From there we went out to Paniqui. We stopped at Cindy’s and had lunch and then went over to the District Center to the Youth Conference. As we came in the parking lot President Mercado visited with me and ask if I would except the call as 1st Counselor to President Cabuyaban in the Guimba 1st Branch. President Brimhall is the one that recommended the calling. Things are always changing. I will be sustained on Sunday. We are concerned about the training we had planned on doing for the Paniqui 1st Branch. We attended part of the multi-district Youth Conference. When we came home we went straight over to San Jose where we bought two wedding gifts. Sister (Mother) Mercado came just as we got home. She had Mae’s dresses, a slip and a blouse ready for her. Mae was happy with the alterations she had made.

We went to the temple with Joselito and Maritess this morning and it was wonderful. Trying to get to the Temple I made a U-turn in a area that was no u-turn. I didn’t see a sign, but as soon as I made the turn four officers stepped out to stop me. We were able to talk them out of giving me the ticket. Joselito asked that I be one of his witnesses. Some of the branch members went also, so that was great. They took some of their youth so they could do baptisms for the dead, but they had not arranged for it previously with the temple, and there was a tight schedule so the youth were not able to do the baptisms. That was sad since they came so far and were really looking forward to it. The branch president thought Joselito had made the arrangements when he made arrangements for his temple wedding, but he didn’t. We can understand why he didn’t. We left at 4:00 am, picked up Elder & Sister Clark at 6:00 and we arrived in Manila at 8:00. Dad made really good time as it usually takes us 5 hours to go that far. The wedding was wonderful. The sealer was Filipino so we couldn’t understand all of it, but he spoke in Tag-lish so we got quite a bit. When he asked them to kiss over the alter, they were both so shy that it wasn’t much of a kiss. They are a great couple and we’re sure they will be very happy. They have gone through a lot and their faith has been tried, but they made it and we’re so proud of them and happy for them.
Dad and I had a little problem, however, as when we went to show our recommends to the temple worker, they had expired. Somehow, we had it in our minds that they would last us throughout our mission. Dad said that Bishop Walker said we wouldn’t need to get another recommend until we came home, but even if he did, we should have noticed the dates and we would know that two years had been up. We met with the president of the temple, he called President Brimhall and they let us in. We had talked with this temple president the other times when we were here, so he knows us, but said he usually doesn’t make exceptions. Oh boy, we goofed, but thankfully we were able to go in.  We then went to a near-by Jollybee for lunch, and went back to go through another session. Elder & Sister Clark had planned to meet some Elders on the 2pm session, but they didn’t show up. They were the returned missionaries, coming back for a visit, that we told you about in our last letter – Elder Stone and his friends. Anyway, we will meet early with President Brimhall on Tuesday morning to get a new recommend, before leaving to go to Manila again with the other missionary couples. Bro. Sagun, the counselor in Guimba branch 2 has asked Dad to be one of his witnesses at his temple marriage on Tuesday, so that’s special. We love this young man also. He is a returned missionary and has been practically running that branch single handedly. They are planning to live in Guimba, so we’re happy for that. After getting home I called President Brimhall and asked him if we could wait until next week to install me in the Guimba 1st Branch Presidency, as we already have appointments set up with Panique 1st Branch for some training there.

This morning we went to the Panique 1st branch to do training there. I told the Branch President of our change in assignment and let him know that today would be our last day with them. He was very disappointed for that. When we went in to the Primary we got tears in our eyes to see the changes in Primary after the training Mae gave them last week. The primary president and her counselor had been preparing all week and Primary was practically like it is in Utah, today. The president had come early, set up chairs in rows, and had wonderful opening exercises including 2 children giving talks. Her counselor wanted to give the lesson prior to sharing time, and since all the children are ages 8-11, it was fine. We were so proud of the counselor, she gave an excellent lesson, doing all the things it called for in the lesson, had wonderful visual aids, came early and wrote special points on the chalkboard, had eye to eye contact with the children and had great participation. Dad & I needed to leave, after the lesson, to go to YM & YW and I hadn’t had a chance to tell the president that we had to leave, so I motioned for her to go to the adjoining room with me and after I told her, I complimented her for all she had done. She hugged me and cried and said that after the training, she wanted to do it the way the prophet has asked us to. She said that no one had trained her before and she didn’t know that she was supposed to do these things. (I don’t think they understand the General Handbook of Instructions when they read it themselves - they need to have someone go over it with them). She said, “Oh Sister, can I show you the “Sharing Time” materials my daughter and I have made, before you go?  Her oldest daughter helped her and they had fun doing it. I was excited. I’m sure they will do great now. They are so humble (teachable) and sweet. I will miss them, the children, and all the wonderful people in that branch. After meetings, Mae met with the YW Presidency and I met with the YM Presidency to do some training. Mae’s training went quite well. I was surprised when I went to give the YM training. They are all young men under 18. Two are priests and one is a teacher. I gave them some training, but will need to talk to the branch president and tell him, the boys can’t be the YM presidency; they can be the quorum presidencies, but not the YM’s. Mae also wants to talk to the branch presidents about having a married sister be the YW president. These single adult sisters are wonderful and would make excellent counselors, but they need the maturity and experience of a married sister. Practically all the branches have single adult sisters as the presidency.

We got up and went walking this morning. After getting home, Mae cut my hair and then we took our showers. We were still getting breakfast when Marlyn came. Marlin also came over and washed our car. We got on the computer at 9 AM but none of our children were on. Mae worked on the family letter and then about 9:25 AM Mike got on with us. At 9:30 AM Sandi got on so we visited. Mike left in a half hour so we continued with Sandi, then as we were about to get off with Sandi, Scott came on. We enjoyed visiting with all of them. Sandi is still having a rough time with Terry’s passing. Scott has been busy with work so they haven’t done more on the house yet. Sandi is having a hot tub put in next to her patio. Terry’s sons Troy and Kyle have also put in a sprinkler system for the lawn that will sure help her. When Sandi left we continued to visit with Scott. Mae went back to work on the family letter and then got back on the internet to send it. Jeff saw her on and they visited for a while. Jeff told us that the bike was going to cost over a thousand dollars to repair, so I told them to let it go for parts. The bike has set for almost three years and that wasn’t good for it. I just worry about the car, truck and snowmobiles. By then it was dinner time. I did get two naps in during this morning. This afternoon was spent getting ready to go to Manila in the morning and Baler Thursday morning. Time went fast. It is sure hot and humid so we spend most of the time at home in the bedroom with the door shut, as it is the only room with AC and without insulation in the houses, the air leaves fast. I was able to meet President Apao at the Stake Center in San Jose and get the conference tapes he had made for me. It has been raining most of the evening.
Tuesday, May 18, 2004
We got up at 3 AM and left at 4:15 AM for Clarkfield. We got there by 6:00 AM. We had interviews with President Brimhall for new Temple Recommends. Elder and Sister Clark went with us to the Manila Temple. We went through Sealing of Roberto Sagun and His brides marriage. Elder & Sister Clark went on a endowment session with Elder & Sister Hyer and Elder & Sister Maharry. Mae and I went out for pictures and a Wedding breakfast. That was really nice. They had a large group attending the wedding and many more attending the wedding breakfast. We then went over to the distribution center and bought some Church supplies. Mae also had ordered special embroidered temple envelopes for all the children & spouses, plus her and I. They are beautiful. Mae met the lady & paid for them, plus 3 nativities from another lady. It was a little confusing getting everyone together, but we all went to the Holiday Hotel where we had rooms reserved. Our room was on the 27th floor and we had a wonderful view. This is a beautiful hotel. Thankfully, it only costs us $58.00 because we live here and have a Filipino driver’s license, otherwise, it would be about $150.00. This evening we went to the Manila Hotel for dinner. It wasn’t just dinner, it was “fine dining”. Elder & Sister Hyer made arrangements for us to have a van and driver for tonight and tomorrow. The hotel is on the waterfront and so there were ships in the harbor. It was dark so we couldn’t see the ocean very well, but it was still neat. The grounds, fountain and gardens were beautiful. The food was excellent, but just us and another couple were there. Soon the other couple left. They had a 5 piece orchestra playing for us that were very good. They played up on the stage, but soon came down to our table and serenaded us. They asked for requests and they could play anything we requested. It was wonderful. We enjoyed dancing to their music. The Hotel was very elegant .We were then given a tour of a gallery that had a lot of history of the Hotel and famous visitors who had stayed before. This is where General MacArthur had his suite. The host took us through a honeymoon suite and another suite for dignitaries and then took us into MacArthurs suite. It was beautiful. They had left the furniture and furnishings as it was then, along with the pictures on the walls, lamps, etc. It looked like someone was living there. It had a huge picture of General MacArthur on the wall behind his desk. We took pictures of our husbands in front of the picture. We went out onto the balcony and it was a beautiful view. It was great to be there. We got back to the hotel about 11:30 p.m, but it was a wonderful day.
Wednesday, May 19, 2004
We arose at 5:45 a.m. and met the Hyers, Clarks and Maharrys for breakfast. The breakfast is paid for with the price of our rooms and it is wonderful – a buffet with all kinds of breakfast foods. The chef makes omelets for us or cooks eggs anyway we want. After breakfast, we drove to the PBO where we met the driver again and climbed into the van and we were off to the Bazaar. They have this bazaar once a month and all the ladies at the PBO and Temple and other missionaries in Manila, plus other places go there. We have been once before. The men are not too crazy about this idea, but the women love it. Mae bought wooded grandparents toys (to stay at our home for the grandchildren to play with when they come to visit.) plus she bought toys, etc., for the grandchildren. We then went out to the war memorial. There were 55,000 white crosses and some stars. The stars were for the jews who were killed in the war and the crosses for the Christians. These were all Americans who died in the war. We felt like we were on holy ground with the blood of all these Americans in the navy, army, air force or marines. They had acres and acres of land as it used to be a military base. The grounds are beautiful and many people are hired to take care of it. They have a beautiful monument with all the names of those who were killed in action craved in beautiful stone walls all around a huge circle. In the middle of the circle is another monument. We took lots of pictures. I am proud to be an American and proud of what America stands for and how these men and women gave their lives for their country and for freedom. From there we went back to the PBO where we split up and the Maharrys rode with the Hyers to go home and the Clarks rode with us. After dropping off the Clarks at the Mission Home, we stopped at the duty free stores for Mae to get some more brownie mixes and cake mixes. We stopped in Tarlac at McDonalds for something to eat and arrived home about 8:30. It has been raining pretty steady since Angeles. It got really heavy in Guimba and the rest of the way home with lots of thunder and lighting. We were beat, but Mae put things away while I entered what we spent on our budget. It was about 11:00 p.m. when we got to bed.
Thursday, May 20, 2004
It was about 6:15 AM when we got up and started packing to go to Baler. We left at 9 AM and stopped for a minute in San Jose. The road that we always take out of San Jose was closed and it took us a while to find a alternate rout. The roads were wet and muddy and it seemed rougher than we remembered but we made fairly good time and got to Baler at 2 PM. We checked in but there was no power through out Baler, but it came on about 3:30 PM. We enjoyed a short nap. At 4:30 PM we went to the meeting house and others came right after we got there. President Go told us, when he got there, that the power was off because they had failed to pay the power bill and hadn’t receive a notice. We met outside on the porch and had enough light to do fair. We had planned on having the Elders Quorum Presidency and the Relief Society Presidency there, but we had President Go, his 1st counselor, and ½ dozen sisters there. We did some training but it wasn’t quite what we had planned. The 1 counselor in the Elders Quorum finally came. When it got dark, we quite and closed the meeting. We gave the 1st counselor in the branch presidency a ride home. He lives 7.6 kl from the church house and said there are three other families that lives out that far but can’t afford to come to church. I was rather discouraged at the way it went. Mae took the sisters and she did fairly well.
Friday, May 21, 2004
I woke at 5 AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. Mae slept until almost 7 AM. We went walking on the beach and enjoyed that. The day went fast and I soon went up for the training of the branch clerk at 2 PM. Power still wasn’t on and President Go needed to go make some copies, so I waited. I fell asleep waiting. President Go informed me that the clerk couldn’t be there until 4 PM. I went back and had some lunch and returned with Mae. We really didn’t get started with the clerk training until 4:30 PM, so that put us behind on the other trainings. The training did go well with all three groups. Mae felt good with her trainings also. I didn’t finish with the training until 9:30 PM. At 9 PM I asked President Go if we wanted to stop and he said that we should continue with the training. The Elders stopped in during the evening to see how it was going. I visited with Elder Gooch about the possibility of a Basic Unit in the area north of the large bridge. He will try to get some information on that area.
Saturday, May 22, 2004
Although we got up at 5:30 AM we had to hurry in order to pack and check out and be at the Church by 8:30 AM. Some members soon got there but President Go didn’t get there until 930 so we waited for him. The presentation went well, we had President Go give the opening address. The Elders quorum president gave a short talk taken from the First Presidency and the R.S. President gave a short talk from the Visiting Teaching message. Mae and I then gave a presentation using the computer and projector on the need to sacrifice. We broke up the group and went out Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching. Mae and I went out with them. After 1 ½ hours we all came back to the church and reported on our visits. It really went well and they had a good time. We had the Elders buy some treats for us to have when we got back together. We then showed the video “How Rare a Possession”, we had a lot more come during the film. Before going home Mae wanted to go down to see the ocean once again. We left Baler at 3:30 PM and got home at 8:30 PM. We were tired and had to unpack when we got here.
Sunday, May 23, 2004
We attended meetings in the Guimba 1st Branch. During the Sacrament meeting I was sustained as the 1st Counselor to President Cabuyaban. I was asked to talk during the meeting. After Sacrament meeting President Mercado set me apart in my calling. Mae then went in to Primary and helped there. I went in to Sunday School during which President Cabuyaban gave the lesson because the Sunday School teacher didn’t show up and the Sunday School President doesn’t feel that he can. Also during Priesthood meeting the Elders Quorum President didn’t show up so I conducted and President Cabuyaban gave that lesson. After the block of meetings, I helped with the recording and counting of the donations. We then took a break and Mae and I came home. Mae had me take a short nap while she prepared some dinner. I picked up President Cabuyaban on my way to the church. He said he wanted to take a nap, but his children wanted him to play with them. We had a short Branch Presidency meeting. Then we held a P E C meeting at which only the President of the Sunday School and the Full time missionaries came. That meeting went quite well, although I think I talked to much. President Cabuyaban met with the Relief Society President and went over some welfare items. While he did that I met with the District Young Men President, Norberto Carpuz, and we discussed some training that is coming up and also went over the organization of the Young Men Aaronic Priesthood program. He felt that I helped him a lot. President Cabuyaban, Brother Norberto Carpuz and I went over to visit a family that the husband is very sick and dieing. It was 8 PM when I dropped President Cabuyaban off and came home. Mae had been on the internet, so I couldn’t call her to let her know that I was on the way home. It has been a very interesting day. While we were visiting, flying bugs came in from every where. Norberto explained that they were termites. It is the migratory season for them. When I got home Mae said that she heard something that sounded like rain on our bedroom window. When she pulled back the drapes she saw all these flying bugs. I explained to her what they were and we remembered them from a year-a-go.
Monday, May 24, 2004
We slept in, so we didn’t go walking. After breakfast we got on instant messaging with Jeff and Gail. We don’t know what happened to the rest of the family. I went with President Cabuyaban to send in the weekly reports and make the deposits. When I got back the Land Lord was here trying to repair the kitchen area chandelier as it came lose from the ceiling and almost fall to the floor, but was stopped by the electrical wiring. Mae and I went to San Jose and did some shopping. We ate at Jollibees while there. We like to go upstairs to eat so that we can watch the traffic of San Jose. It is really quite amusing. After getting home we put the groceries away. I cut up two chickens, hoping that Marlyn will not cut it up smaller. I worked on our budget until I became frustrated and gave up. I entered my journal and we went to bed.
Tuesday, May 25, 2004
I woke shortly after 3 AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. Mae woke at 5:30 AM and we went walking at the collage. We came home and showered, and then prepared breakfast for the Munoz Elders, Elder Bas, Elder Jenson, Elder Ebanza and Elder Holberg. They came at 8:30 AM. We enjoyed having them and visiting with them. We made plans to go on Monday Evenings with them to have a Family Home Evening with selected families. After they left we read a letter that Shellie sent and some pictures that she had prepared for us. It was good to find out why she hasn’t e-mailed us lately, her computer is not working. I took a nap and Mae worked on organizing our pictures. I started a presentation on the Aaronic Priesthood Organization in the Branches. I needed some pictures of a Branch Presidency, for the presentation, so we visited the Munoz 1st Branch Presidency. It was good to visit with each family. We think it is quite cute that we are often referred to as “the couple”, as we go around. The children enjoy gathering around us and try to talk to us. They get very excited when Mae ask them their names in Tagalog. The people also really like to have their pictures taken and are always asking for a copy. As our printer doesn’t do the best in printing pictures, we try to send them a copy by e-mail if they have a address. When we got home Mae prepared a light super of cottage cheese and toast. We worked on the picture organizing for a couple of hours before going to bed.
Wednesday, May 26, 2004
I woke early and couldn’t go back to sleep. When Mae woke we did go walking at the collage. We went to the Dr. here in Munoz and had the nurse take Mae’s blood pressure. It was a little high, but not to bad. We went to San Jose to make our bank transactions and to pay our water bill at Aqua Soft. When we got home I took a short nap, while Mae made us a lunch. We left for Guimba shortly after 11 AM and went to the Dr. Office to pay for Nomi’s visit, but the receptionist was out to lunch. We then met President Cabuyaban and visited a brother that gave us some pepper plant starts. President Cabuyaban gave us some pechay starts and some squash seeds. We met the Relief Society President and the Employment Specialist and went visiting families that are growing gardens as a preparedness program. We were able to visit six families as well as President Cabuyaban and give them some plants and seeds for planting. It was a good experience to be with these two sisters and visit the families. We stopped at the Dr. Office again but they had no record to the last visit, so we didn’t pay them.  He also canceled the Branch Presidency meeting for tonight. We came home and the power was off, so it was hot. We were hot and tired so we laid down and rubbed each others feet and tried to take a nap, but it was to hot. Mae got up to get a drink and found that the power had came back on. After turning on the A/C we took a nap for a couple of hours. We then stayed up until mid-night. Mae worked on her training for this week end and I worked on a new budget program.
Thursday, May 27, 2004
We were up late last night so didn’t go walking this morning. I woke shortly after 5 AM anyway and didn’t go back to sleep. We attended District Development meeting with the Guimba and San Jose Districts. We are always impressed with the Elders and the great job that they do. We went in with the San Jose Elders as we don’t get to see them very often. We were very amazed with Elder Cropper, who has only been out 3 to 6 months. I didn’t think he would make a very good missionary when he first came out and we were so impressed with him and his great abilities and knowledge. President Brimhall was here interviewing the Elders. We both wondered if he wanted to interview us, but he hasn’t had the time in the past, so we left. He called us later and said he would have liked to visit with us, so we will see him tomorrow. Elder Clark called and they will not be able to attend District Conference with us this weekend. We were disappointed as we were looking forward to having them stay with us. I got a new budget table set up that should make it a little easier to keep track of our budget. I finished developing a presentation on the “Organization of the Aaronic Priesthood and Young Men’s program.” I will have President Brimhall review it tomorrow. I am hoping that it will be simple enough for the leaders here to understand the program.
Friday, May 28, 2004
I woke at 5 AM but let Mae sleep until 6AM. I then found out that she had stayed up until 11 PM on the inter-net. I should have let her sleep longer but we had to pick up the Munoz Elders at 8 AM for San Jose / Guimba District Conference. President Brimhall’s opening talk was on the Dispensations of time and apostasy, Sister Brimhall spoke on Guidance and Obedience. Both gave excellence talks. The conference lasted until 3 PM and then President Brimhall met with Mae and I for a short interview. He also watched my presentation on the Aaronic Priesthood Organization. He liked the presentation and wanted a copy of it that he might use it in a meeting tomorrow morning. After taking the Elders home, we stopped by the Dr. office to get Mae’s blood pressure taken. They were closed for the day. We think that the reason that it was high the last week, is because she hadn’t been taking her medication. The one thing we found is that her medication is working. When we got home I sent the presentation to President Brimhall by e-mail. We got a e-mail from Mark telling us that Bob was operated on and had a hart bypass due to 5 arteries being blocked. He was in the operating room for 5 hours, but is now doing better and they will know more tomorrow. We appreciate Mark keeping us informed. President Cabuyaban called and wants to hold a Branch Presidency meeting this evening. We met at 6 PM for a couple of hours and got a couple of things discussed. I feel that our meetings need to last longer and we need to do more towards visiting and getting priesthood holders active. One thing about it, we have only one way to go, because we are about as low as the branch can get.
Saturday, May 29, 2004
We got up and went walking this morning. We visited a gentleman from Mapal that is here studding plant science at CLSU. When we got home we visited with Ed, our neighbor, and set up a evening on the 11th of June for the neighbor to get together for a evening. Marlyn came this morning to work as she didn’t come yesterday. We were still getting showered & preparing breakfast. Brother Norberto Corpuz, the District Young Men President came at noon to see the Aaronic Priesthood Presentation. We also invited him to eat lunch with us. He commented that we had enough food for ten people on the table. After lunch we did get a nap in. We both did some work on the computer this afternoon. At 2:45 PM we went to the Munoz chapel for District Conference meetings. Elder Edgardo Fernando of the Seventies is the visiting General Authority with President and Sister Brimhall also on the program. We took our fans, overhead projector and screen to the church for use this evening. The AP’s helped us by using the mission van. It was 8 PM before we got home.
Sunday, May 30, 2004
District Conference was held this morning. We were about late because I filled out the “Branch Organizational Reports” and printed them off for the District Executive Secretary. President Mercado’s opening address was good. President And Sister Brimhall both gave excellent talks. A sister from Guimba 3rd Branch gave a talk and Sister Fernando gave talks but they were mainly in Tagalog so I understood very little. Elder Fernando gave a very good talk and really gave some straight information for the members to consider. There was fair attendance until you realized the membership that should have been there. We stayed for the meeting with new members held after the main meeting. I helped Mae get some dinner started and then I laid down and took a nap. After lunch I went out to Guimba, picking up President Cabuyaban on the way and we held P. E. C. meeting. After the meeting President and I went visiting. We visited the Mother of the only missionary that is out from the Guimba District. We then visited two brothers and their families. This is where I am really having problems with not speaking the language as well as not knowing the people.  Because of his mental condition the police can’t hold him in jail although that is where they have him now, but unless someone files charges they will have to let him out. The family doesn’t know what to do with him as there are not facilities for the mentally ill here in the Philippines. We took some medication into the jail for him at the request of the mother. The pills are costing P100 per day and that is what the mother makes a day. We then took a letter to the R. S. President, and then visited a family that the church is helping with welfare. I explained that the policy of the Church is not to give the recipient of assistance cash, but to have the R. S. President of the Branch President pay for the items. She accepted that answer and apologized for feeling bad towards President Cabuyaban. President Mercado wanted to visit with me this evening but I was to late getting home. Mae and I visited for a while and then ate some fried chicken and toast. I filled out my journal and we went to bed.
Monday, May 31, 2004
We got up and went walking although we were still tired. At 6 AM the power went off and we were without power until almost 6 PM. We were glad that we had put some water in storage as when the power is off, we are without water also. We had to shower out of a bucket, but at least we had that water. President Cabuyaban came at 6:30 AM with the financial reports. He told us that as he had to leave early he tried to slip out without waking his family. As he went to leave, Iven called out “Daddy didn’t you forget something?” to which he asked what. “You forgot to give momma and I a kiss.” Iven is about 3 years old. After breakfast we got on the instant messaging with Scott. He is the only one that got on with us today.  We had tried to find out if the Munoz 1st Branch Relief Society was still planning on the baking class today. We finally had to drive down to Sister Monta’s house. Her phone had lost it’s charge and without electricity she couldn’t receive the calls. They still want to come. I brought Mae home for her to get ready. I got her some groceries from the store in Munoz, and some LP Gas. I then went to San Jose to mail some things at LBC and had planned on getting the rest of the groceries at CVC, but CVC couldn’t get their generator to run so had to close the store. I did get some large nails and got my boots repaired. Both pair needed the heel replaced. Mae had 10 sisters here. They had a good time. I went over to President Gasmena’s to turn in the Branch reports. This evening we went over to the Tobias’s home and held a FHE with them. Thanks to Mae, that went well. We got home at 9 PM quite tired. We are glad to have the power back on and running water.

11:00 a.m: I started my day of with some breakfast, my normal dose of Lexapro,a SSRI antidepressant, and a bowl of some decent marijuana. After going a month without having any opiates, I could not wait to try oxycodone for the first time.
Noon: It was a 5 mg 'Tylax' capsule. I figured that this was a very small dose, since oxycontin pills came at a minimum of 20 mg. I decided to open the capsule and mix the powder with some soda as an attempt to get higher. I noticed that after I finished chasing it to hide the taste, I felt a huge rush.
12:15: I felt the euphoria kicking in. I had never felt this kind of onset from an opiate, but then again, I had only experienced with weaker drugs such as hydrocodone.
12:30: I decided to get my bowl and get into my groove.  While I was smoking, the euphoria was becoming very intense. I was surprised that this dose would have me feeling so good. Little did I know that this was not even the peak.
12:45: At this time, the euphoria and stimulation became so great that I honestly believed that I was on mdma. I was getting hot, energetic, loved the whole world, and I felt the need to drink a bottle of water. The guy I got it from used to sell E. I have done a lot of reading on ecstasy on the past, and the effects seemed to fit the profile. At this point, I feared for my life. After looking in the mirror a few times, I was relieved to see that my pupils were smaller than normal, a common effect of opiates.
1:00: I had never enjoyed vomiting so much in my life. It was just like a junkie's first time shooting up. The onset finally ended and the plateau began. I thought it was odd that only seconds after being sick, I drank some water with no problem. I lied down watched tv, and called a friend to make plans for later. I was feeling so good that I had to do the thing I love. I decided to go play my favorite computer game, Unreal Tournament.
1:30-3pm: It was as if I were in the game, hunting down my enemies. The ambience sounded realistic at times. The high that I was experiencing felt better than sex. I usually get minor CEV's from marijuana alone, the oxy seemed to amplify it. I could easily block out anything that was outside of the game. At times I felt a sudden urge to tell someone I loved them. This euphoria was probobly so great because I had no tolerance to opiates, and my anti depressant naturally makes me a little happier than normal.
3:15: I decided to smoke a joint that I had prepared the previous night. After smoking, I felt like I was plateauing again. The euphoria was almost never ending. At this point, the stimulation and almost upper effect seemed to be replaced with relaxation. I laid down with my dog for a few minutes and got so comfy I didn't bother to anwser the phone. At this point, I could honestly say that I was experiencing a '+3' high. I welcomed the effects and cherished every moment of this bliss.
4:30: I saw a few friends and they instantly knew I was on something because of my mood. I felt like I was the king of the crowd. The attention felt great. I am usually an isolater who prefers to spend time alone, because I have few friends, so seeing these people made it that much better. I got some pretty strong munchies, so we got some taco bell. The food seemed to feel good as I was eating it. I was oblivious to everything around me as I ate a steak burrito.
6:00: I still felt pretty good, and I was still at about a +1. I smoked some more weed and the rest of the night was relaxing. Oxycodone was the best non hallucinogen I have ever done. I can now see how people get hooked on it so easily. If I had another chance to experience this high, I would take it without question.
