The Archangel's Archives http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/ Welcome to the Archangel's Archives! My name is Angelo Daniel Rosales Parcon, born in Butuan City, raised in Cebu City. Married to Emi Rose Sesbreño Remoroza Parcon and blessed with one hyperactive dynamo, Dain Angelo Parcon. This site would serve as an outlet to both my positive and perhaps rarely seen dark side of life. Hope you enjoy yourself while browsing through its contents!

Lord Rothgar and Zambojil. These are two names most if not all filipinos are not familiar with. And we have our former President Ferdinand Marcos to thank for. Although his intentions noble to say the very least, his decision to ban a then well-loved and awe-inspiring cartoon show robbed more than a million filipino children from ever enjoying the battlecry “Vooooooooooooollllteeeeeeeessssss Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivvvvvhe”! Unbeknown to many, the names Lord Rothgar and Emperor Zambojil belong to two central characters in the Voltes V series. Lord Rothgar is better known as Dr. Armstrong, who as Rothgar is the rightful Emperor of Planet Bozania. This, had Emperor Zambojil not chosen to usurp power from him by revealing his true state of Bozanian infamy. That of having no horns at all. In a Bozanian community, as if taken from the lessons of apartheid, those who are born without horns are considered the lower classes. They who should be thrown into slavery by... http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/journal/item/27/Finally Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:57:36 -0000 A Family of Presidents <img style="width: 169px; height: 252px; " class="alignleft" src="http://images.angeloparcon.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SFPAygoKCDkAACvxYJ81/Parcon%20Family.jpg?et=XDxnLUQ2VhcXQB7gFYujhg&nmid=0" border="0">Time and again I've heard people say that whatever runs in the family will always be passed down to future generations.  When your genes beckon you to follow your calling and you opt to ignore them, one way or another the genes will prevail. Recently, this has held true to my family.  It is a fact that I have already served as a President in my Junior Chamber International Chapter in 2007 and also as a Class President when I was an Architecture student back in college.  Emi has also served as President of the Student Council in her University of the Philippines Alma Mater as well as a Class President for her XCIX Batch in UP.  Despite our backgrounds as Presidents in various organizations, we never pushed this path on our son, Dain Angelo, or Dindin for short.  We insisted that he blaze a trail of his own and forge his own legacies based on what he is passionate about. Imagine my surprise last Thursday evening, arriving home when he nonchalantly told me “There ar... http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/journal/item/26/A_Family_of_Presidents Sat, 14 Jun 2008 13:00:22 -0000 The Wonders of Poker I confess.  I started playing poker and I got hooked.  Its not about the money won after the game but its about enjoying the camaraderie of friends trying to outwit and outrisk each other. Strategy is the game.  Learning the games and the patterns of your opponents. I just bought a 500-chip poker set at half the price its supposed to be sold for. Now all I need are the players.  Hahaha. http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/journal/item/25/The_Wonders_of_Poker Tue, 3 Jun 2008 13:55:35 -0000 Bulls beat the hell out of the odds and get the No. 1 pick! Suddenly the world of Bulls basketball shone brightly. After a very dismal season that saw them from being Eastern Conference title contenders to a team in utter disaster, the Bulls 2008-2009 season welcomed its very first taste of good luck.  Staring down a 1.7 percent chance of landing the top overall pick for the 2008 NBA Draft, the Bulls overcame the odds and somehow ended up with the number one pick.  Now they have the option of choosing between two young and top prospects in Kansas State forward Michael Beasley and Chicago-native Memphis guard Derrick Rose. The reality still has to hit me.  I have been a very faithful Bulls fan since the first three-peat.  I endured the harsh ridicule during the mediocre "Pete Myers as Michael Jordan replacement", enjoyed the resurgence of His Airness, the poor showing of the Baby Bulls years, the much-anticipated entry and sudden exit of The 'Fro and the painful reality of this year's "It coulda' been Da Bulls".  Looking ... http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/journal/item/24/Bulls_beat_the_hell_out_of_the_odds_and_get_the_No._1_pick Thu, 22 May 2008 07:50:36 -0000 The Speech That Wowed London and The Rest of the World This is the speech which my cousin Gikoy....Gian (hmmm, takes a lot for me to get used to calling him that) gave at the European Speaking Union International Public Speaking Competition.  Indeed little Gikoy...ehem, Gian has grown up to be an incredible teenager.  Like my cousin Heda, Gian's elder sister, said, it seems that we adults can also learn a lot from our cousin who's a generation younger than us. <a href="http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SCrTTgoKCDkAAChCbMw1"><img style="width: 386px; height: 256px;" class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.angeloparcon.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SCrTTgoKCDkAAChCbMw1/giks1.JPG?et=b96hA0SRkBjnXoSfo76g7Q&nmid=" border="0"></a>Gian "Gikoy" Dapul with Uncle Santi I'll never forget that photo that showed Gikoy fitting his tiny little frame (I believe he was one or two years old then) into the travel bag that my sister brought into their house.  Now he's even taller than Uncle Santi, his dad.  Man, we are getting old.  Hahaha.  Anyway, here's the speech that wowed London and the rest of the world...

When I searched for it over YouTube, I found out that subscribers all over the world had also kept themselves busy making their own versions. I was thinking of making one for Da Bulls but then an idea popped into my mind. Why don't I make one for the Jaycees? More specifically, for my chapter, JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel who, like the NBA, enjoyed a banner year in 2007. The rest, as they say, is history. http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/video/item/4/JCI_Cebu-Mactan_Channel_Where_Amazing_Happens Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:34:02 -0000 The 59th JCI Philippines National Convention, Cebu City We came, we saw, and WE HAD FUN! Our multi-awarded chapter, JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel had a total of seventeen (17) registered delegates to the 59th JCI Philippines National Convention right here in our own backyard of Cebu City! Again, despite our youth in our chartership at 2years of existence, we managed to bag three awards during the annual gathering of JCI Members in the entire Philippines. It also saw our 2008 President in Jolex Yu Lim getting inducted with the rest of his 2008 Presidential classmates by no less than 2008 JCI Philippines National President Raphael Angelo RIP http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/photos/album/108/The_59th_JCI_Philippines_National_Convention_Cebu_City Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:32:54 -0000 09-30-2007 The CDCC Family Fair As part of our fund-raising program for the year 2008, our members of JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel agreed to donate some goods which we sold during the CDCC Family Fair at the CIE Grounds last September 30, 2007. Best seller was the Talaba, bar none. Donated by incoming Director Eric Calamohoy, we poured our labor of love to prepare the mouth-watering dish of talaba to aphrodisiac hungry customers!

Kamputhaw, we conducted the second episode of the Worktrepreneur Program. This episode's coaches were our Charter President, JCI Mem. Cerwin T. Eviota to handle the SWOT Analysis and our LOM Adviser, JCI Sen. Ernest Evangelista to handle Business Planning.

Cerwin T. Eviota volunteered his Training Skills to discuss on the essentials on Time Management. This was held at the Coffee Beanery Coffee Shop at Centro Fotuna Building at AS Fortuna St., Mandaue City. Afterwards, I had to rush off to IMAGINE Spirits and Resto Bar to attend the 4th JCI Philippines Central Visayas Regional Council Meeting attended by all Presidents from the JCI Chapters in Cebu http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/photos/album/103/09-20-2007_A_Time_For_US_Time_Management_Seminar_and_the_4th_Regional_Council_Meeting Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:45:25 -0000 09-13-2007 My Destiny, My Choice Personality Development Seminar Fresh from our conquest in the 27th Visayas Area Conference in Catbalogan City, our LOM immediately buckled down to work for what is beginning to be our reputation within the JCI Circle, a lean, mean training machine. Conducted by our Area Training Director and Visayas Most Outstanding Trainer, JCI University Certified National Trainer JCI Mem. Lorelei M. Dasmariñas, the Personality Development Seminar which was her conceptualization was dubbed My Destiny, My Choice. It featured various concepts that tackled how our personalities get to be formed by the situations and the environments to which we are exposed to. http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/photos/album/102/09-13-2007_My_Destiny_My_Choice_Personality_Development_Seminar Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:24:10 -0000 The 2007 President of JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel This video was played during JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel's 2nd Induction and Turnover Ceremonies last February 23, 2007 at the Budyong Hall of Waterfront Airport Casino and Hotel in Mactan. It tells the story of my growth within the JCI Ranks from a Junior Jaycee in the University of San Carlos to the rank of President in JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel.

H.A.R.N.E.S.S. to BE BETTER...The Theme that our 2007 Administration chose to live by during our year of service to our members in JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel, JCI Philippines and Junior Chamber International. With my term as President of JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel coming to a close, I pondered on the joys and pains of leading an incredible, a dynamic and exceptionally over-achieving chapter during the past year. I thought of what legacy I could leave behind as I turn over the mantle of leadership to my successor. The legacy of the 2007 Administration. The 27th Visayas Area Conference definitely answered that question. Facing a formidable assembly of the best in the Visayas in the JCI movement, our chapter meekly and nonchalantly went through the activities of the annual Area gathering. Then came the awards night. History was made and it cemented our reputation as the best in the Visayas Area for the year 2007... * Best Business Development Program - Worktrepreneur, Creating ... http://angeloparcon.multiply.com/photos/album/100/09-07_to_09-09-2007_27th_Visayas_Area_Conference Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:44:52 -0000 09-05-2007 8th General Membership Meeting and General Elections CREATE FOR 2008.

We immediately sprung our Chapter Training Team into action led by our very recent PRIME Graduate and VP for Programs JCI Mem. Jolex Y. Lim, PG and our Charter President, JCI Mem. Cerwin Eviota NG. They were ably assisted by our SG JCI Mem. Marlon Polinar and our PRO JCI Mem. Emi Rose S.R. Parcon. A total of 30 participants coming from USC JJC and their extension, St. Francis Junior Jaycees attended and completed the course program. Owing to the USC-JJC's the start of my JCI career, I always look forward to assisting them any way I can in the capacity of my leadership with JCI Cebu-Mactan Channel. What's more surprising after the activity was I found out that the marker bearing my name as SSC Councilor as the ones responsible for the installation of the first triphones in USC was still intact.
