On March 2, I was saddened by the passing away of VWB Boy Panlilio, a good friend and Brother Freemason. He lost his battle with cancer. VWB Boy was a co-worker of mine at Purefoods Corporation in Manila, Philippines. We worked together on a number of projects. He was on the sales side and I was on the warehousing & distribution side. We traveled together to his sales region a number of times. We regularly socialized after work. We became friends even before I became a Freemason. He was a very good man and Freemason. He will be missed but never forgotten. VWB Boy, it was Happy to Meet. It was Sorry to Part. It will be Happy to Meet Again. May you rest in peace, my friend and Brother.<br />

Since I skipped being OG, the Potentate had me attend the said Seminar as he and other Officers and Nobles deemed it will be beneficial to me and the Temple to do so. On Wednesday, I joined a tour of Shriners International Headquarters. They had some new items on display.<br />

In the mid-day of March 28, Imperial Sir Jeff Sowder, Imperial First Ceremonial Master, came to Winnipeg for the Kickoff Meeting of the Pace Program, a Membership Initiative of Shriners International. The Kickoff Meeting started in mid-afternoon of the 28th, Friday. We had representatives from various groups within Khartum, e.g., Divan, Membership Committee, Ladies, Public Relations, Units & Clubs. We even had Thunder Bay join the General Session via videoconference. That evening, we had the first Mini-Ceremonial (aka Cold Sands) for 2014, after which we had a Meet & Greet. Congratulations to new Noble Israel Messan Kowuno, Noble John Hill and Noble Joe Tan. Welcome to Khartum and to the Shrine.<br />

After that, most of the Divan and participants proceeded to the Manitoba Masonic Temple (MMT) for a funeral service for MWB Dave Love, who passed away on March 9, Sunday, after a massive heart attack. I had the honor and pleasure of serving as the Senior Grand Warden when MWB Dave was the Grand Master in Masonic Year 2009/2010. He touched many, many lives, including mine and my family's. He was a wonderful man, friend and Brother. He will be missed but will never be forgotten. MWB Dave, it was Happy to Meet. It is Sorry to Part. It will be Happy to Meet Again.<br />

In the afternoon, I attended the practice of the Installation of Queen Winnipeg Chapter No 1, OES. The Open Installation is on April 10, Thursday, at 8 PM, at the Manitoba Eastern Star Chalet, on 525 Cathcart Street. The practice went very well. It was a long week and a very busy weekend.<br />

The food at Canad Inns Windsor Park was very tasty. I had two (2) servings of chicken noodle soup because I had colds (hopefully, not the flu). I felt a lot better after having the soup. After dinner, we held the Meeting, which went on very well. I was "railroaded" into becoming the 1st VP, replacing the late RWB Wally Roth. Congratulations to RWB Rico Villarin who was elected to replace me as the 2nd VP.<br />

March is thus ended but we still have a lot of snow and the temperatures are still lower than normal. But today, I saw Canadian geese flying around our office. Spring is here and summer will be upon us soon.

On February 20, Thursday, a funeral service was held for VWB Roy Chu, who was the Worshipful Master of my Mother Lodge, Capitol City Lodge (CCL) No 174, MW Grand Lodge of the Philippines. VWB Roy was here in Winnipeg in June 2011 with other CCL Brethren for my Installation as Grand Master of Manitoba. At that time, he and his wife lived in New Jersey. Sometime thereafter, he and his wife moved back to the Philippines to be closer to their children and grandchildren. He was recently installed as the Secretary for MY 2014. I just received my 2014 Dues Card and receipt which he mailed. VWB Roy is the 2nd from the right in the picture taken in June 2011.<br />

His siblings (one of who is Bro Marlo Chu from Montreal, QC) and he were together on vacation in one of the islands in the Philippines in early February. I am not sure if that was when he had his fatal heart attack.<br />
It was a shock to hear of his passing away. He was an exemplary Freemason and I am fortunate to have known him and be one of those whose lives he touched. He will be missed but never forgotten.<br />
VWB Roy, it was Happy to Meet. Sorry to Part. And it will be Happy to Meet Again.<br />

On Feb 3, Monday, the Khartum Shriners Membership Committee held a Meeting. The main item on the agenda was the planning for the Kick-Off Meeting of the Pace Program scheduled for March 28, Friday, and 29, Saturday. The Pace Program is a Membership Initiative of Shriners International to assist Temples with their Membership Agenda. There will also be a Mini-Ceremonial on March 28, Friday. It was a very productive Meeting. It is great to again have the full support of the Potentate and the Divan for the Membership Agenda.<br />
<br />
On Feb 4, Tuesday, Khartum Shriners held its first Unit Council Meeting for 2014. This was presided by Noble Brian Terin, Chief Rabban.<br />

Our daughter, Anna, was here for a week from the Monday after New Year. She was lucky that she was able to make it out of Newark (her flight was delayed for 2 hrs) and then Toronto (more than 1,000 flights were cancelled that Monday and Tuesday). She was able to get some rest while here and also watched a Winnipeg Jets game. They lost but she still had a wonderful time. She bought a Jets hoodie and a Jets flag which she will put up in her cubicle at the hospital. She's been doing 12 to 16 hrs shifts, overnights, weekends, etc. at Warren Hospital.<br />

At the Dinner after the Installation, Illustrious Sir Jack Hooper, Recorder, presented, on behalf of the Divan, to Illustrious Sir Rick Holberg, Potentate, a step ladder/stool as part of the tools and implements of his office. The said ladder will be used to ensure that the Potentate is seen by the audience when he is speaking behind a podium or rostrum.<br />

We are glad to learn that our visitors made it back to their homes safe and sound the day after the Installation. They were on the road before the highways were closed due to very severe weather and road conditions (white out).<br />

It was a cold New Year's Eve. The temperature was in the low -30's C (with a windchill of about mid -30's C).</div>
<br />
We welcomed 2014 at the home of RWB Junn Manalang. It was warm and comfortable once we got inside their house where, as usual. there was a lot of food for everyone. It seemed that the children never stopped eating. Well, even some of the adults also kept eating although there were hours between one eating session and the next one. Everyone had a wonderful time waiting for the New Year.<br />
<br />
We called via facetime our daughter, Anna, who was working at Warren Hospital on the last night of her December Night Float rotation. She had her New Year come one (1) hour earlier as she is on Eastern Time and we are on Central Time. So we called her twice last night to wish her Happy New Year.<br />

In the Chinese zodiac calendar, 2014 is the Year of the Horse which starts on January 31, 2014 (the Lunar New Year / Spring Festival of China) and ends on February 18, 2015. The spirit of the horse is recognized to be the Chinese people's ethos - making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. It is energetiv, bright, warmhearted, intelligent and able. Ancient people liked to designate an able person as "Qianli Ma", a horse that covers a thousand li a day (one li equals 500 meters).<br />
<br />
A rare event happens on the very first day of the new year 2014 - a “Supermoon”.<br />
The term “Supermoon” is kind of a made up term, as it really just means perigee moon. That means the moon is at its closest approach to the Earth within its orbit. We will have the first of two “supermoons” on January 1, with a second coming on January 30, 2014. A new moon or full moon has to come within 361,863 kilometers (224,851 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth, in order to be a supermoon.</div>
<div>
<br />
This month's supermoons will not be seen because both are new moons. However, they will still have impacts on the Earth. Because the moon is so close, its gravitational pull will be greater. Thus tides in the ocean run higher (these are called astronomical high tides these are called). The supermoons also always have a similar effect on the atmosphere. Full and new moons can make the the atmosphere thicker or thinner which can intensify areas of low and high pressure.<br />

The treatment is going very well. I just have to do the prescribed exercises so that portion of my body will heal faster. I injured it 16 months ago in August 2012.<br />

(It is the same doctor I saw for my rotator cuff.) He said that the left side of my back is quite tight and that my spine is slightly curved to the left (or is it to the right?). I am not sure which caused which. But the doctor said that the physio will prescribe exercises for me which will correct the situation. I hope that the exercises will work. I like the doctor because he said that blaming ageing is convenient but we can work around age with proper eating, regular exercise and less stress. I have heard and read that before but when I heard it directly from him, it made a lot of sense.<br />

The Ladies played bingo and my wife won one of the bingo games. One of the guys played blackjack (he broke even) and the other played Texas Hold 'em (he won). I just watched.</div>

<div>
After the bingo, we went to one of our favorite late night Chinese restaurants. Our friend who won at Texas Hold 'em treated us to late-night snack. Three of us had congee (Chinese rice porridge) with salted pork and century egg. It was good, as usual. By the way, the temps on Friday were higher than normal - still below zero C - and it started to snow </div>
<div>
On Saturday, December 28, we woke up to about 3 inches of snow. The temperature has dipped significantly overnight. And there was more snow and some wind which caused the snowdrift along our driveway being blown into the driveway. We are, of course, in Winterpeg, Manisnowba. My wife and I decided to go back to McPhillips Station to try our luck at the Matinee Bingo which had a jackpot of $120K. The person who won that game missed the jackpot by one call. To win the jackpot, you have to complete the game within a certain number of calls. We then had an early buffet dinner. The buffet restaurant opened for dinner at 4 PM. We were the 2nd set of customers. Saturdays they had prime rib which is quite good. And as I was about to start on my late night snack, Mikey came home with a pot of goto (rice porridge with tripe) cooked by his godmother, Sis Espie Lapiña. Whenever Sis Espie is in Winnipeg (she and her husband, RWB Neil, work in Calgary), she prepares goto or arroz caldo (rice porridge with chicken), which are my favorites. So I put my snack in the fridge and get a big bowl of goto. Ah, carbs.</div>

So on Sunday, December 29, we had temps in the low -30's C with windchill in the low -40's C. There were less people than usual at Sunday mass at St Peter's Roman Catholic Church.

I have stopped counting the calories and carbs I have ingested over the past week or so of holiday feasting. And there are still New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and so on and so on. More calories and carbs. I need to be serious in exercising - not only for my shoulder and back but also for my belly. Otherwise, I might need a major change in wardrobe size.</div>

During the very busy times, it was really hectic and a bit stressful. But we had a lot of fun throughout. We had a few people ask about Freemasonry and the various Masonic Bodies. We even had one man start knocking at the doors of Freemasonry. In the picture on the right, we have two (2) Ron's co-wrapping a gift.

<br />
On December 19, Thursday, Mikey and I went to the Pan Am Clinic to have Mikey's right ankle (an old injury) and my right shoulder checked. Mikey will have an MRI in March to verify if there is any soft tissue or muscle damage. I had to go to a Physiotherapist for my rotator cuff, which I injured in August last year (2012). I have since gone back to the Physio once. On December 23, Monday, I returned to the Pan Am Clinic for my lingering backache. I will be seeing the Physio about my back on December 30, Monday. I need some exercises for both my right shoulder and back, aside from other exercises for cardio and taking it easy at the dinner table during the Christmas season.

The outgoing Sovereign Master, Ven Bro Ron Church, invited representatives from the various Masonic Bodies and their Ladies to dinner prior to the Meeting. We had a wonderful dinner prepared by Lady Carol Hadley and JW MWB Al Hadley. At the Meeting, MVB Cliff Hardy presided at the Installation, where I had the honor of being installed as the Sovereign Master of 2014. MWB Al Hadley was installed as Senior Warden and RWB Mason Jardine as Junior Warden.<br />

The 7th Annual Christmas Party of Fil-Can Cabletow Lodge No 189 was held on December 21 at the Khartum Shrine Center. One of the entertainment numbers was a dance by some of the braver and brazen Brethren.<br />

It was, as usual, a feast of very sumptuous dishes. Calories and carbs galore.</div>

We then had our annual picture prior to opening the gifts. This time we had Ate Anna in the picture via facetime from Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg, NJ. She is on Night Rotation this December and worked on Christmas Eve. It was a bit sad that she was not with us this Christmas. We are looking forward to when she comes for a visit in early January. We'll keep the Christmas tree up and decorations in place.</div>

The children were also there enjoying themselves. It is quite a privilege to be part of the lives of the children.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
RWB Neil and Sis Espie Lapiña were in town for the holidays and were also at the Christmas Day Lunch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, everyone ate a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We slept in again on Boxing Day. Mae and I then bravely went to Walmart, to Bed, Bath & Beyond and lastly to Costco. It was not too bad. We were able to avoid the traffic and had very little problem getting a parking spot and near the door, too. We did not dare go to any of the shopping centers or big box stores as we did not intend to buy anything from those. We survived Boxing Day in 2013! And we walked off a few of the calories from the previous days' lunches and dinners.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next challenge: New Year's Eve Noche Buena. Sis Espie Lapiña will be cooking goto (rice porridge with tripe) and RWB Neil Lapiña will cook dinuguan (pork in "chocolate" soup). We will have fish and other dishes care of RWB Junn and Sis Lisa Manalang. I will cook sinigang na baboy (pork and veggies in tamarind soup). There will be other Brethren and Ladies who will be there, too. But we will specially miss RWB Jun, Sis Aries Pagunuran and their two (2) lovely daughters as they will be in Phoenix. AZ then to visit the sister of Sis Aries.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I trust that you all had a blessed, meaningful, wonderful and the merriest Christmas. Enjoy the rest of the holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Until my next post.</div>

Dec 8: Khartum 2014 Planning Session<br />
Potentate-Elect Noble Rick Holberg presided at the 2014 Planning Session. The Divan Members and their Ladies were present. I was elected as High Priest & Prophet (HPP) for 2014 at the Elections held last Friday, Dec 6. I was not at the meeting because I was part of the Installation Team at Capitol Lodge No 136 that same evening. I sent in a letter to Khartum stating that, if I am nominated for HPP for 2014, I will accept it. I guess nobody else ran for that position so ...<br />

A very important event in 2013 was the acceptance of our daughter, Anna, to the Family Medicine Program at the Warren Campus of St Luke's Hospital in Phillipsburg, NJ. She started in July. In this picture, she proudly wears her lab gown which she received on Dec 9. If she looks tired, it is because she has been working 14-hr shifts at night. Her December rotation is Night Shift.<br />
Needless to say, my wife, Mae, and I are very, very proud of Anna Uson, MD.<br />
<br />
Another very important event in 2013 was our 30th Wedding Anniversary on Nov 26. It has been a wonderful 30 years. I am looking forward to another 30 or more equally wonderful years with my ex-GF and wife, Mae.<br />
<br />
Well, I am now caught up with the various key events in 2013. I hope that this chronicle of my "travels" is of interest to some of you.<br />

The past 11-1/2 months have been, as usual, quite busy.<br />
In my last post, I failed to mention that in June 2012, I humbly accepted an appointment by Illustrious Sir Harry Rosenbaum, 2012 Potentate, as Captain of the Guard of Khartum Shriners. At the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, MWB Al Hadley appointed me as Chairman of the Youth Service Committee to make sure that I remained active in Grand Lodge. And I thought the tradition was for the IPGM to have a year's rest after his term.<br />
There were a number of offices in the various Masonic Bodies which I was honored to take on.<br />
Sometime in the fall, I had to move up as 2nd Lieutenant Commander of the Manitoba Sovereign Consistory, AASR, due to a vacancy. In September 2012, I affiliated with Cyrus Council No 2, R&SM and was constituted as a Knight Companion of Selkirk Conclave No 6, Red Cross of Constantine. At Winnipeg Conclave No 4, OSM, I was appointed Scroll Bearer for 2012/2013. Along with MWB Al Hadely, I was coroneted as a Knight of the Royal Order of the Red Branch of Eri in Keystone Council No 172, AMD, of which I was also installed as the Senior Warden for 2013. MWB Al was installed as the Junior Warden for 2013. Our Venerable Master is RWB Ron Church.<br />
In September 2012, I was surprised by WGM Jean Hutchison with an appointment as the Grand Representative of the Grand Chapter of Oregon. In November 2012, I receive an appointment as the Grand Representative near the Grand Lodge of Manitoba for the MW Grand Lodge of AF&AM of the State of Illinois.<br />
As I said earlier, I was busy as usual.<br />
Following are pictures taken at various events from August 2012 to December 2013.<br />

The Lodge picnic was the last event for July.<br />

On June 22, 2012, the new set of Officers (2012/2013) of Fil-Can Cabletow Lodge No 189, led by WM Cris Alip, held their first Meeting. There was balloting and a Conferral of the EA Degree. The Meeting went very well and the Conferral was very, very impressive.<br />
Bro Noel Regalado gave an excellent presentation of the JW's Lecture.<br />
The Lodge also honored the Lodge Brethren serving as GL Officers for 2012/2013. These are: MWB Ted Jones, Grand Secretary; RWB Junn Manalang, Grand DofC; MWB Chibu Uson, IPGM; RWB Reyne Cruz, BGP; and RWB John Baptista, BGP.<br />
After the Lodge was closed, the Ladies and other visitors were called into the Lodge for the first presentation of this year's JRC Evans Lecture by VWB Richard Lacoursiere, WM of Northern Light Prince Rupert's Lodge No1. The topic was "Freemasonry, whither are you directing your course?"<br />

Afterward, we had a Rizal Night celebration. Bro Peter Ching gave a very entertaining and informative talk about Bro Dr Jose Rizal. The Refreshment Hour was managed very well by our JW, Bro Noel Regalado.<br />
There were various photo ops. Here are some of those.<br />

The Lodge will be in darkness in July and August but there are some Lodge events during those months - the 4th Annual Lodge Golf Tournament on July 15; the 4th Annual Lodge Summer Outing/Camping from August 3 to 5. And, I'm sure, there will be impromptu picnics and social gatherings throughout the summer.Chibu Usonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00527301247503053092noreply@blogger.com0205 Kimberly Ave, Winnipeg, MB R2K 2K5, Canada49.9275634 -97.103885349.9250079 -97.1088208 49.9301189 -97.0989498tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460504735297935849.post-91940731199720831332012-06-23T14:28:00.001-05:002012-06-23T14:28:46.061-05:00Last day in New York, Day 10, June 17, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today was the highlight of our trip to New York. We came here for Anna's convocation from the American University of Antigua (AUA), College of Medicine.<br />
The ceremonies were held at the Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center. My cousin, John, drove us there and he left his car with us, in case we needed it later during the day. He had to go to his office to meet with his boss who was going back to Chicago.<br />

We rode the express train from Manhattan to Flushing where we will stay from Wednesday until we leave on Sunday. This is a picture of Main Street in Flushing - lots of cars and people. Lots of Asian restaurants. Mmmm. Cannot wait to have some Korean, Chinese and Japanese food. Tonight we will have home-cooked dinner prepared by my cousin-in-law, Des.<br />
Thus ended another wonderful day touring New York.<br />

<b><u>Day 1, June 8, 2012, Friday</u></b><br />
We flew from Winnipeg to Toronto early on June 8, Friday. We then got on a connecting flight to La Guardia Airport (LGA).<br />
In this picture, we are waiting for Bro John (RC) Catipon, who graciously volunteered to pick us up at LGA and bring us to my wife's cousin's house in Clifton, NJ.<br />

<b><u>Day 2, June 9, 2012, Saturday:</u></b><br />
On June 9, Saturday, in the morning, Anna, Mikey and I went to a mall in a nearby town. Mikey needed a pair of dress pants and leather shoes for Anna's convocation on June 15. I also needed a shirt and blazer as I left the garment bag in Winnipeg. In the afternoon, Bro RC Catipon and Bro Dennis Paulo picked me up to bring me to the EA Degree Conferral of Plaridel Lodge No 302.The Conferral was done excellently. The WM of the Lodge is Gio Nazareno (L).<br />

The EA Degree was conferred excellently. I am sure that they gave the three (3) new EA's a great impression of the Lodge and of the Fraternity.<br />
Plaridel Lodge No 302, which is only three (3) years old, is a very vibrant Lodge.<br />
Thanks to WB Gio Nazareno and to the Lodge Officers and Brethren for all the courtesies extended to me that Saturday.<br />
It was wonderful to finally meet in person RWB Ross Rosales, the Lodge Secretary, who I have been communicating with electronically for the past 15 years. I also finally met in person RWB Val Basiga, Jr, who has been my internet buddy for about five (5) years now.<br />
After the Meeting, we had a feast. There were two (2) lechons (roast pig) and lots of other dishes.<br />
Then we watched the Pacquiao-Bradley boxing match, which had a disappointing ending.<br />
<br />

However, we stayed in the Park with the Brethren and Ladies of Plaridel Lodge No 302, which had a Masonic CHIP booth. There were lots of food and warm fellowship.

We tried to get back to Clinton early but our bus back to the Port Authority Terminal was delayed by traffic due to the rain.<br />
In the evening, we had dinner hosted by my wife's cousin, Bebi Valderaman, his wife, Riza, and son, Alan. The wonderful dinner was in The Cheesecake Factory in Hackensack, NJ. This restaurant chain is another of my wife's favorites. It was an excellent end to an excellent day, despite the rainy weather.<br />

On May 25, 2012, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) held the Annual Winnipeg Relay for Life at Shaw Park.<br />
This year, we expanded the engagement of the GL of Manitoba with the CCS to include supporting and participating in the various Relays for Life in Manitoba. The Relays were promoted to the Manitoba Masonic Family, which fielded three (3) teams.<br />

The Order of the Eastern Star (OES) had a team. So did Sphinx Temple No 116, Daughters of the Nile (DON). The third team was from the Freemasons of Manitoba, led by the Senior Grand Lodge Officers and their Ladies.<br />
In this picture we have Lady Val Webster, RWB Stano Spina and RWB Doug Webster (in blue jacket with back to camera).<br />

It was a very successful 1st time participation for the Manitoba Masonic Family with a total amount of $7,400 raised. As mentioned above, the Daughters of the Nile team raised $4,600. The OES team raised $1,200. The GL team raised $1600.<br />
It was a lot of fun despite the cold temp and the showers.<br />
Thank you to everyone who supported, donated to and participated in the Winnipeg Relay for Life.<br />
