Superbook

Yesterday I heard mass at St. Joseph's Shrine, while listening to the first reading about the story of Prophet Elijah and the widow with a son during the famine in Israel, I remembered that this bible account was one of the episodes shown in the animated series "Superbook." I can still vividly recall how that episode went.

Adults in their late twenties are familiar with this cartoon shown in the 80's and the early 90's over at GMA 7. This was one of my favorite animated series along with "Flying House." I love it so much I even became a member of its SuperKids Club.



Superbook followed the adventures of Christopher Peepers, his friend Joy and their toy robot Gizmo. It started when Christopher/Chris discovered the magical bible, the Superbook , that speaks and sends then through time to witness the bible story and interact with the different bible characters.



This animation was produced by the Tatsunoko Productions of Japan in cooperation with the Christian Broadcasting Network of the United States of America. The first episode was aired in Japan on October 1, 1981.



The cartoon was intended to reach out to the Christian minority in Japan. But when the anime was shown in a convention in France and received positive feedback, it was shown in other countries as well.



In the second series other characters like Chris' dog Ruffles and his cousin Uri were introduced. According to Wikipedia, a new series was developed in 2008.



I hope that I get to watch the new series because this cartoon brought back a lot of happy childhood memories.



I wish kids now can get to watch the new series as well or even the re-run so that they can get to enjoy it as much as I did at their age and learn wonderful lessons as well.

Comment Moderation

Everyone can leave a comment on any post I made without moderation. I welcome even negative comments because not everyone shares the same view or opinion with that of mine.

But starting yesterday, I changed the setting on my blog and I now approve or reject comments made on my blog. I did that because I was disappointed when someone left a comment with very offensive sexual content. That was inappropriate, I did not write anything that is sexual or sensual in nature.

That person who left that comment had the guts to write something that is offensive but is coward because he/she did not dare reveal who he/she is because he/she signed the comment as anonymous.

I'm super upset with what happened, so from now on I will have all comments approved by me before it gets to be published in this blog.

Loving Others

"Don't just pretend that you love others;

really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of good.

Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight

in honoring each other."

(Romans 12:9-10)

Tired Hands

My hands are super tired from all the encoding I did today. I'm just grateful that I finished typing all the results and are now delivered to our client.

And because my hands are aching from all the work I was able to accomplish today, non-stop typing on the keyboard from 7:00 am with only twenty minutes for lunch break, I will not post a long entry today.

See you all tomorrow, I'm exhausted physically and mentally.

November 27 and 28, Holidays No More

In my post last month entitled “Declared Holidays for November,”President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Proclamation 1808 stating that Eid’l Adha or the Feast of the Sacrifice is a holiday to be observed all throughout the country.

But sadly on October 26, 2009, the President ordered through Proclamation No 1808-A that the said dates will be observed as special holidays only in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao or ARMM.

November 27 and 28 are no longer holidays. November 30, is still a holiday because it is in observance of Bonifacio Day.

So instead of having a four days off for the last week of November, all the regions except for ARMM will only have three days weekend off.
