By:   Ironheart   D eep within your soul you know My heart will always be with you A s you soar with the wind or fall with the rain As you march among the stars or walk among the plain P erchance you stumble and bear a lot of pain Remember, deep down inside your heart H elp is within your reach, it will never depart.             N ever forget to call My Name             Great or small the load you bear E verytime you feel alone,             In all your joys, suff’ring or shame M y hands will hold you through the pain             Even in times of sorrow or gain.   A nd when the sun scowl at you             And your sky sleeps on you R un to me I will catch you             Always a step behind you I will never walk away             I will be there so quietly E verytime you look for me             I won’t ever be far away...   F orever, you will find me.              For my dear soulsister who has been there for me many times when my head hit the ceiling or when my knees buckle from the

ATOP THE STONEWALL Wow, my head is so clear today!  What with six hours of sleep... (that's an accomplishment for me!  Gold Medal, anybody!!?)    This past days has been all wet wet wet wet!  What with the unceremonious arrival of our buddies, Milenyo and Paeng!  As always when there is a storm, we at CFM get the creeps.  Two years ago, people had been sleeping soundly while the 12okmph winds blow their roofs away and floodwaters steal their lands bit by bit and even took the lives of their neighbors.  People woke up and when they put their foot on the floor, the water (or rather the mud) was knee-deep, to their surprise.  They were so shocked to see mudfishes wriggling in their floody-muddy bedroom floor, and so they haven't had the presence of mind to save some of their things.  Televisions sitting atop chest of drawers toppled down to the floor because the drawers floated and many other damages.  Thankfully, all I Iost were my 10k wedding dress (hahaha), my journals and my

REFLECTION ON THE AA&F MTT TRAINING

A.  What has been done The goal of the workshop was two-fold. The first was to teach Translation Principles, and the second was to translate the Christmas story in Matthew 2:1-12.       The facilitators, in making their lesson plans, aimed to meet both goals.   The modules discussed during the workshop were translation problems found in Matthew 2:1-12.   We specifically covered the following topics:   Implicit and Elliptical Information, Figures of speech found in Mat. 2:1-12 (hyperbole, metonymy, metaphor and personification), Key Biblical Terms (Christ, worship, prophet, chief priests, scribes, Messiah) and Translation.   We also taught them how to write Cultural notes on Unknown names of people and places and cultural behaviors such as (Bethlehem, Jerusalem, East, Magi, and King Herod).     We also tried to help them gain more computer skills by introducing them to the basic use of Translator’s Workplace especially in coming up with a key biblical term write-up.   We also taught the
