Pope's September prayer intention: Respect for the Planet's Resources
"We pray that the planet's resources will not be plundered but shared in a just and respectful manner".
"The Spirit of life dwells in every living creature and calls us to enter into relationship with him" (Laudato Si', 88)

September 5th Remembering St. Teresa of Calcutta / Cuimhneachán ar Mother Theresa
"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." ― Mother Teresa
Today the Missionaries of Charity and their friends will be celebrating the feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta. September 5th is the anniversary of her death and is established as her liturgical feast. Mother Teresa left a testament of unshakable faith, invincible hope and extraordinary charity. Her response to Jesus' plea, "Come be My light," made her a Missionary of Charity, a "mother to the poor," a symbol of compassion to the world, and a living witness to the thirsting love of God. Mother Teresa was beatified by Pope John Paul II on October 19, 2003. See the following websites for further information and resources:

September 5th The International Day of Charity / Lá Idirnáisiúnta Tiomanta don Charthanacht
"Charity can alleviate the worst effects of humanitarian crises, supplement public services in health care, education, housing and child protection."
The General Assembly of the United Nations designated the 5th of September, the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa, as the International Day of Charity.
Originally a Hungarian civil society initiative to commemorate Mother Teresa's death, International Day of Charity on September 5 took off worldwide in 2012 when the UN declared it an international holiday. Besides honouring Mother Teresa's tireless work to help others overcome poverty and suffering, the holiday provides a platform for charitable opportunities to take place. Overall, this day reminds us that simple acts of charity can alleviate the worst effects of humanitarian crises and create more inclusive and resilient societies. Use this day with your students to explore the idea of volunteering and why it is a valuable way of contributing to their community. See the following for ideas and resources:

September 8th International Literacy Day / Lá Idirnáisiúnta Tiomanta don Litearthacht
Literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond
International Literacy Day (ILD) 2020 will focus on Literacy teaching and learning in the COVID-19 crisis and beyond with a focus on the role of educators and changing pedagogies. The theme will highlight literacy learning in a lifelong learning perspective and therefore mainly focus on youth and adults. The recent Covid-19 crisis has been a stark reminder of the existing gap between policy discourse and reality: a gap that already existed in the pre-Covid-19 era and is negatively affecting the learning of youth and adults who have no or low literacy skills and therefore tend to face multiple disadvantages. During Covid-19, in many countries, adult literacy programmes were absent in the initial education response plans, so the majority of adult literacy programmes that did exist were suspended with just a few courses continuing virtually, through TV and radio, or in open air spaces. What is the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on youth and adult literacy educators and teaching and learning? What are the lessons learnt? How can we effectively position youth and adult literacy learning in global and national responses and in strategies for the recovery and resilience-building phase?
By exploring these questions, International Literacy Day 2020 will provide an opportunity to reflect on and discuss how innovative and effective pedagogies and teaching methodologies can be used in youth and adult literacy programmes to face the pandemic and beyond. The Day will also give an opportunity to analyse the role of educators, as well as effective policies, systems, governance and measures that can support educators and learning. Through a virtual conference, UNESCO will initiate a collective global discussion to reimagine the literacy teaching and learning of youth and adults in the post-Covid-19 era towards the achievement of the SDG4.

September 8th Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary / Saolú na Maighdine Muire
On Our Lady's birthday the Church celebrates the first dawning of redemption with the appearance in the world of the Saviour's mother, Mary. The Blessed Virgin occupies a unique place in the history of salvation, and she has the highest mission ever commended to any creature. We rejoice that the Mother of God is our Mother, too. Let us often call upon the Blessed Virgin as "Cause of our joy", one of the most beautiful titles in her litany.
For Pope Francis, Mary is an icon of wisdom, strength, courage and joyful hope. Her unconditional "yes" to God encourages modern believers to say "yes" to God's call today. We must turn to Mary often, he says, for she is a mighty intercessor and a faithful companion on our spiritual journey. The writings, homilies, prayers, talks, and even tweets of Pope Francis on Mary are available in this book, "Mother Mary" and it gathers his most important and inspiring words about Mary.

September 9th Feast Day of Blessed Frederic Ozanam
The Church throughout the world, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP) and the Vincentian Family celebrate on 9th of September the feast of the blessed Frederick Ozanam, principal founder of the SSVP, whose feast day was established by the Vatican as the date of his death (8 September) was the feast of the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Frédéric Ozanam always respected the poor while offering whatever service he could. Each man, woman, and child were too precious to live in poverty. Serving the poor taught Frédéric something about God that he could not have learned elsewhere. A man convinced of the inestimable worth of each human being, Frédéric served the poor of Paris well, and drew others into serving the poor of the world. Through the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, which he founded, his work continues to the present day. These words, spoken in 1834 by Frederic Ozanam, remain accurate in today's world:
"The question which is agitating the world today is a social one. It is a struggle between those who have nothing and those who have too much. It is a violent clash of opulence and poverty which is shaking the ground under our feet. Our duty as Christians is to throw ourselves between these two camps in order to accomplish by love what justice alone cannot do".

September 10th World Suicide Prevention Day/ Working Together to Prevent Suicide
Cosc ar Fhéin-ghortú
The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) is dedicated to preventing suicide and suicidal behaviour, alleviating its effects, and providing a forum for academics, mental health professionals, crisis workers, volunteers and suicide survivors. IASP have launched a Cycle Around the Globe Campaign from September 10th-October 10th.
ABOUT CYCLE AROUND THE GLOBE 2020 CAMPAIGN
Every 40 seconds someone takes their life, almost 800,000 people a year around the world. For each suicide approximately 135 people suffer intense grief or are otherwise affected resulting in 108 million people, annually, are profoundly impacted by suicidal behaviours. For every suicide, 25 people make a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.
IASP's Cycle Around the Globe Campaign supports community-based suicide prevention activities in lower- and middle-income countries. Activities that aim to help communities recognize suicidal feeling and support those in distress to seek help and avert a tragedy. This campaign is about finding mechanisms to spread the message exponentially into areas where there is limited knowledge of these life/death issues. We want our global community to engage with each other and to join to spread awareness of suicide prevention. So please, cycle any distance on any road, track or gym and help us work together to prevent suicide.
Register now and plan your cycling for 10th September – 10th October when miles/kms will be logged here to go towards our collective goal. https://www.charityfootprints.com/eventdetails?id=450

September 11th 9/11 R.E. Resources /Acmhainn
A reminder that the 9/11 Memorial & Museum is committed to providing ongoing resources for students, teachers, families, and the general public. They provide a host of educational resources—and a variety of free public programs, the Museum strives to foster a deeper understanding of the continuing impact of 9/11 and terrorism on America and the world at large. Recognising that it can be difficult for parents and teachers to talk about terrorism with young people, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum remind us that these conversations are crucial to help future generations understand the events that shaped their world.

September 12th Memorial of the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Cuimhneachán ar Ainm ró- Naofa na Maighdine Beannaithe Muire.
The feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary began in Spain in 1513 and in 1671 was extended to all of Spain and the Kingdom of Naples. In 1683, John Sobieski, king of Poland, brought an army to the outskirts of Vienna to stop the advance of Muslim armies loyal to Mohammed IV of Constantinople. After Sobieski entrusted himself to the Blessed Virgin Mary, he and his soldiers thoroughly defeated the Muslims. Pope Innocent XI extended this feast to the entire Church. Mary always points us to God, reminding us of God's infinite goodness. She helps us to open our hearts to God's ways, wherever those may lead us. Honoured under the title "Queen of Peace," Mary encourages us to cooperate with Jesus in building a peace based on justice, a peace that respects the fundamental human rights of all peoples.

September 14th Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross / Féile Ghlórú na Croise Naofa
The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, celebrated every year on September 14th, recalls three historical events: the finding of the True Cross by Saint Helena, the mother of the emperor Constantine; the dedication of churches built by Constantine on the site of the Holy Sepulchre and Mount Calvary; and the restoration of the True Cross to Jerusalem by the emperor Heraclius II. But in a deeper sense, the feast also celebrates the Holy Cross as the instrument of our salvation. This instrument of torture, designed to degrade the worst of criminals, became the life-giving tree that reversed Adam's Original Sin when he ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden.

September 15th Our Lady of Sorrows
Devotion to the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady has its roots in Sacred Scripture and in Christian piety, which always associates the Blessed Mother with her suffering Son. Today's feast was introduced by the Servites in order to intensify devotion to Our Lady's Sorrows. In 1817 Pius VII — suffering grievously in exile but finally liberated by Mary's intercession — extended the feast to the universal Church. The title "Our Lady of Sorrows" focuses on Mary's intense suffering during the passion and death of Christ. "The Seven Dolors," the title by which it was celebrated in the 17th century, referred to the seven swords that pierced the Heart of Mary. The feast is like an octave for the birthday of
Our Lady on September 8th. As Mary stood at the foot of the Cross on which Jesus hung, the sword of sorrow Simeon had foretold pierced her soul. Below are the seven sorrows of Mary:
The prophecy of Simeon (Luke 2:25-35)
The flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15)
Loss of the Child Jesus for three days (Luke 2:41-50)
Mary meets Jesus on his way to Calvary (Luke 23:27-31; John 19:17)
Crucifixion and Death of Jesus (John 19:25-30)
The body of Jesus being taken from the Cross (Psalm 130; Luke 23:50-54; John 19:31-37)
The burial of Jesus (Isaiah 53:8; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42; Mark 15:40-47)

September 21st International Day of Peace / Lá Idirnáisiúnta Tiomanta don Síocháin
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. This year the 2020 Theme is: Shaping Peace Together https://www.un.org/en/observances/international-day-peace
September 21st Matthew the Evangelist / Maitiú, Soiscéalaí
At the time that Jesus summoned him to follow Him, Matthew was a publican, that is, a tax-collector for the Romans. His profession was hateful to the Jews because it reminded them of their subjection; the publican, also, was regarded by the Pharisees as the typical sinner. St. Matthew is known to us principally as an Evangelist. He was the first to put down in writing our Lord's teaching and the account of His life. His Gospel was written in Aramaic, the language that our Lord Himself spoke. Matthew's Gospel makes clear that Jesus is the fulfilment of everything said by the prophets in the Old Testament. His book is the first of the four Gospels in the New Testament. The Church established St. Matthew's feast day as September 21st.

September 23rd St. Padre Pio / Naomh Padre Pio
St. Padre Pio was an Italian priest who was known for his piety and charity, as well as the gift of the stigmata, which has never been explained. Padre Pio was hearing confessions when he felt pain in his hands and feet. He noticed the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, appearing on his hands and feet. The experience was painful. Bleeding occurred. The wounds smelled of roses, and although they continued to weep, they never became infected. Doctors who later examined the stigmata were amazed at their perfectly round shape. By 1919, word began to spread about Padre Pio's stigmata and people came from far away to examine him. Padre Pio died on September 23, 1968. His funeral was attended by over 100,000 people. Pope John Paul II recognized Padre Pio as a saint on June 16, 2002. His feast day is September 23rd.
Prayer of St. Pio
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.

September 25th St. Finbarr
Born in the second half of the 6th century AD, in Achaid Duborcon near Crookstown, Co. Cork, to a slave girl and her metalworker husband from Connacht, who had moved to Munster to find work, St
Finbarr (also known as Barra) is the patron saint of Cork. As an adult, Finbarr left home with three unidentified ascetics and spent time in Scotland, including on the Isle of Barra, before establishing various hermitages in his native area, notably at Kilclooney and on the island here in Gougane Barra. St Finbarr died at Cloyne in 633 AD and his remains were taken to Cork to be enclosed in a silver shrine in what is now St Finbarr's Cathedral. https://corkcathedral.webs.com/
September 27th Feast Day of St. Vincent de Paul / Féile Naomh Uinseann de Pól
The name of Vincent de Paul is synonymous with compassion and practical help for the needy. As a young priest Vincent was deeply moved by the misery in which many of the people in city slums and remote country areas in France lived. The poor were neglected both spiritually and materially, while the rich lived in luxury. He felt urged to do something to change the situation. Alone he could do very little, so he enlisted the help of many willing volunteers, mostly women, and in 1617 formed them into groups to help the poor in their local areas. These groups became known as the Confraternities of Charity. Concerned about the spiritual poverty of the country people, four years later, in 1625 he gathered another group around him and the Congregation of the Mission, better known in Ireland as the Vincentian Fathers, came into being. Then in 1633, together with St Louise de Marillac, he co-founded the Daughters of Charity, who would have "for cloister the streets of the city." For more information on St. Vincent see: https://www.famvin.org/wiki/Vincent_de_Paul
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP)
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) was founded in Ireland in 1844. It is the largest voluntary charitable organisation in Ireland. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVP) charity is a Christian voluntary organisation, working with people experiencing poverty and disadvantage. Inspired by their principal founder, Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul, they seek to respond to the call every Christian receives to bring the love of Christ to those in need: "I was hungry and you gave me food" (Matthew 25). No work of charity is foreign to the Society. They are involved in a diverse range of activities: See https://www.svp.ie/home.aspx for further information.

September 29th Feast of the Archangels / Féile na nArdaingeal
Today is the feast of St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael which is superseded by the Sunday Liturgy.
The Feast of the Archangels is traditionally celebrated on the 29th September. The liturgy celebrates the feast of these three archangels who are venerated in the tradition of the Church. Michael (Who is like God) was the archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God. He is the protector of all humanity from the snares of the devil. Gabriel (Strength of God) announced to Zachariah the forthcoming birth of John the Baptist, and to Mary, the birth of Jesus. His greeting to the Virgin, "Hail, full of grace," is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Christian people. Raphael (Medicine of God) is the archangel who took care of Tobias on his journey.

National Association of Diocesan Advisers (NAPPDA)
NAPPDA are continuing to work together to collate resources from around the country for teachers and chaplains to use with their schools and parishes during these unprecedented times. Below are some we feel will be particularly useful to keep a faith element present for ourselves and those to whom we are called to minister. We continue to hold you all in our prayers.
Trocaire has produced a new resource for this year's "Season of Creation" (September – mid October) based on the 2015 encyclical of Pope Francis Laudato Si (On the Care of our Common Home). While the resource was written for parish groups, it could work equally well in Second level schools, especially senior cycle – really in any group motivated to address the ecological crisis. The resource illustrates the key concepts of the encyclical with events from the past five years, including the current pandemic. Seven Power-points make up the module, along with ancillary resources. Note the speaker's information that accompanies each slide. This resource is available at: https://www.trocaire.org/resources/parishes/laudato-si . The text of Laudato Sì can be found here: http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html.
Junior Cycle RE: Please note that the new Soulseekers series (written by Tom Gunning for Veritas) is now complete with the publication of the second volume (for Years Two and Three) and its attendant workbook. A sample copy has been sent to each school. It is available from Veritas here: https://www.veritasbooksonline.com/soul-seekers-2-students-pack-10001167-45567/?_sgm_campaign=scn_7c2edd9676000&_sgm_source=45567&_sgm_action=click
Of the six textbooks written for the new NCCA specification, the Soulseekers series was written specifically for Catholic schools and designated colleges. It also meets the standards of the NCCA specification and prepares students for either the exam or non-exam routes for the specification. Veritas will "swop out" the existing two volumes series for a revised one-volume text (with workbook) for the next academic year. ["Buy First Year and Second/Third Year textbooks in 2020 and we will replace them in 2021 with one book covering all three years" – Veritas]

A Teacher's Prayer / Paidir do Mhúinteoirí
Help me to be a fine teacher, to keep peace in the classroom, peace between my students and myself, to be kind and gentle to each and every one of my students.
Help me to be merciful to my students, to balance mercy and discipline in the right measure for each student, to give genuine praise as much as possible, to give constructive criticism in a manner that is palatable to my students.
Help me to remain conscientious enough to keep my lessons always interesting, to recognise what motivates each of my students, to accept my students' limitations and not hold it against them.
Help me not to judge my students too harshly, to be fair to all, to be a good role model, but most of all Lord help me to show your love to all of my students.

A prayer in the time of pandemic:
Almighty God, we pray to you through Christ the Healer,
for those who suffer because of the Coronavirus across the world.
Grant them comfort, healing and hope.
Give wisdom to governments; skill to healthcare workers and scientists
as they seek answers to the pandemic.
We remember those who have succumbed to the virus

May they find strength in the new life that was revealed to us in your Son.
Help us to live in serenity and peace in these days of uncertainty.
This we ask in the name of Jesus, our Lord, Amen.

Homecoming is a special time of year for all of AU, but it holds a special meaning for the fall sports teams. Alumni from different generations will make the trip home to watch their teams battle once more. Coaches will have the opportunity to reconnect with former players, as well as their families and children.
Men's soccer coach Scott Fridley has been at AU for 28 years and has coached a lot of players in his day. He says that homecoming is a very special time of year for him because he has several hundred alumni who will come and be part of the day.
"This year's homecoming will be really special for us," said Fridley. "This is the 30th anniversary of our men's soccer program. Not only that, but we have a big conference game ahead of us, so it should be a pretty special day."
Thirty years of soccer is surely something to be proud of, but the team is also excited to unveil their newly renovated field to the alumni. In the past several years, the team has worked hard to improve the quality of the pitch, adding concession stands, additions to the team area and more than 100 yards of fencing.
Volleyball coach Tami Miller is now in her 16th season as the head coach of the program. The team will be hosting their first alumni game this season along with their normal homecoming traditions.
"For me, it's a little more exciting because I have former players coming back," said Miller. "That's a great opportunity for me to reconnect with my alumni. Not only that, but I get to see their families and meet their kids. That's always been very special to me."
Volleyball is the first sporting event of the day, and no matter what the weather looks like, they get to host their fans in the comfort of O.C. Lewis Gymnasium.
"From a timing standpoint it's kind of nice," added Miller. "We have the street fair, and we will catch people coming in from that, but we love that we still get to go out and support all the other teams too."
Other coaches who will be in action on this day have a different experience ahead of them. Women's soccer coach Jennifer Myhre is in her eighth season as head coach, while head football coach Steve Rock will be in action for his first homecoming game at AU.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how big homecoming is," said Rock. "While I might not personally have any alumni at this school, the program has hundreds. I'm excited about getting to meet some of those people."
For Coach Myhre, homecoming has always been her favorite way to honor the players who have put the program in the position it is in today.
"Our desire to play comes from honoring all those who have worn this jersey," said Myhre. "Homecoming really serves as a great platform to bring the campus community together to celebrate all the memories that have happened on the court and fields, as well as to inspire those competing to cherish the present time they have."
The day will mark big games for several teams, specifically volleyball and both of the soccer programs, as they will be playing in their first conference games of the season. Despite this, the coaches plan to prepare their teams as if it were a normal game.
"It's business as usual for us," said Fridley. "We prepare to win against all of our conference opponents, and that does not change because of the day."
"With that being said, homecoming is a very special day," added Fridley. "It is one big day full of school spirit. That's what makes it special for our players."
As Anderson approaches their 101st homecoming, several sports will look to honor their most distinguished alumni. Many teams will be holding alumni games, and the football program will be inducting the undefeated 1993 team into the AU Sports Hall of Fame.
"On Saturday morning we're going to have breakfast with that undefeated team," said Rock. "Hopefully we can get some inspiration from those guys. There are a lot of people who are really excited about seeing the resurgence we have been working on."
The day will be jam-packed with plenty of AU sports. The volleyball team will be facing off against Mount St. Joseph at 12, women's soccer kicks off against Transylvania at 12:30 followed by the football team facing off against Hanover at 1:30. To finish off the day, the men's soccer team takes on Transylvania in a battle of two of the top three teams in the conference.

Press ReleasesDomino Kirke, Luke Temple Collaborate On Dreamy Four-Song...All Releases
10 February, 2015Print
Domino Kirke, Luke Temple Collaborate On Dreamy Four-Song EP, May 2015
Domino Kirke's new four-song collaboration with Here We Go Magic's Luke Temple, 'Independent Channel' EP (May 26th), grew from an unlikely seed - a Time Warner Cable bill. While it's certainly an atypical source of artistic inspiration, the bill served as the initial creative ice-breaker between Temple and Kirke. "I hadn't written with anyone in years," she recalls of their first session together, "so he just handed me a Time Warner Cable bill, and I started singing the words on it." The duo's musical connection that day was instantaneous, and the unassuming cable bill sparked a year long partnership. The result is a stunning, dreamy, four-song EP that showcases an entirely new side of Kirke's artistic personality, with haunting, ethereal melodies, swirling synthesizers, and enigmatic lyrics.
The EP opens with "Son," a richly layered, explosively percussive track that serves as a reflection on Kirke's experiences with motherhood, and is followed by "Birth Right," a track that the duo wrote together and wound up as an unintentional nod to Kirke's work as a birth coach and founder of Brooklyn-based doula collective, Carriage House Birth. The title track, with its looped vocal samples and nervy percussion, was born during that first day in Temple's apartment when Kirke picked up the fateful cable bill, while "Ordinary World" came together in the Catskills in a free flow of ideas between Kirke, Temple, and bassist/synth player Tyler Wood (Joan As Policewoman, Oh My Goodness), who joined in recording the EP.
Listen to Kirke's "entrancing" single "Ordinary World" off 'Independent Channel' on Entertainment Weekly - here
Kirke, whose 2013 solo debut 'The Guard' proved that "sometimes [a] creative streak just runs in the family" (Entertainment Weekly), grew up in an artistic household in New York City. She learned by example from her father, Simon Kirke, who played drums in Bad Company and Free. "My father toured a lot, so when he was home, I lived in his studio," says Kirke. "I was always writing with him, playing him what I wrote, or listening to him practice." Domino's penchant for music shone through from an early age - she studied classical voice and piano at the prestigious LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City, signed her first record deal as a teenager - collaborating with Grammy-winning producer and artist Mark Ronson (Adele, Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse) - and toured the world with everyone from Gang of Four to Lily Allen with her band DOMINO, which was also featured in Lena Dunham's acclaimed film 'Tiny Furniture.'

Do to my connection with my brothers Triumph TR250 and the fact that I was out driving around in my Cobra I stopped by to see the Triumph Club of North Florida show.
The parking lot was closed for the show but I got lucky and someone was pulling out right near the entrance outside of the parking lot along the side of the road. As I was getting out the traffic guard with the yellow vest came over and said that I could not park there...So I said ok and was getting back into the car.
While I didn't join the show to get an award the Cobra was well received and got a lot of attention.
One of the spectators asked me to start it up so of course I did which gathered a crowd of its own. All and all I had a good time. Lots of really nice cars and cold beer.

Got an email today. One look at it and I knew it was a demolition job. The email said it was presidential candidate Manny Villar's house but I've been to one of Villar's houses (we shot it for a magazine feature) and his decorating taste certainly does not look like this:
It looks like the White House!
Guests are received here
And they eat here
The master of the house sleeps here
Takes his baths here
There are many more photos but I'm lazy to post them all. I'm sure you'll get it in your inbox soon anyway, if you haven't already.
Like I said, I've seen how Villar lives. Villar's home decor is actually more shabby chic--floral, wood, comfy seating. I personally am not a fan of his taste in decor but hey, it's not my house! Besides, Villar is one of the richest men in the country so I always thought he'd have a fabulous house and it turns out he actually doesn't. Well, it's not ugly, not like it was constructed out of stainless steel drums, but he sure doesn't live as well as certain people I know! And one more dead giveaway that this ain't his: Villar loves photos. His house is literally covered with picture frames of him and his family. The house above has no photos.
Now, I'm not voting for Villar in May (I like another candidate. My only clue for you is he has a pretty wife) but I think this email is just disturbing.
This house isn't Villar's. I can tell because I'm a magazine editor. Those photos were obviously taken by a professional photographer--the flooded-with-light look gives it away. If Villar wanted to keep this house hush-hush, why would he have it photographed by a team of professionals? It's just stupid. As a journalist, I quickly investigated whose house this is and found this blog entry: Is This Really Mugabe's Mansion?. Mugabe is the president of Zimbabwe and he's been holding power since 1980, so he's like our Marcos.
Anyway, so now the house is supposedly Mugabe's but after further investigation, it turns out it also isn't! It supposedly belongs to the biggest movie star in the world. Who's that? Tom Cruise? Brad Pitt? Angelina Jolie? Puh-leeze. They don't even hold a candle to this guy! The biggest movie star in the world is Shah Rukh Khan, with a fan base of a billion. Yes, you read that right--a billion! He's Bollywood, baby, and everyone in the film industry knows that Hollywood is so much smaller than Bollywood.
Yes, I can believe that a guy who poses for pictures like this
can live in a house as ridiculous as that!
What I'm trying to say is don't believe everything you read. Don't be gullible and don't be stupid. The elections are coming up so expect the mudslinging fest to commence. But don't get caught up in it. Be responsible and do not spread lies about other people even if you don't like that person!
UPDATE: According to snopes.com, it isn't Shah Rukh Khan's. Here's what the website that investigates urban legends says: "In fact, these photographs actually depict a home half a world away from Zimbabwe, a mansion in the tony Bel Air section of Los Angeles that has been extensively photographed inside and out because it is sometimes used as the site of location shooting for television and films."
UPDATE: That mansion "belongs" to either Lady Gaga or Robin Thicke! Someone sent me another email, you see, with the following videos and, wowza, that mansion looks even better when there are half-naked people romping in it!
I'm loving Lady Gaga's poison ring. WendyB has something similar called the Borgia Ring. I also love the legs and butt of the model who plays Robin's lover. Those legs and ass are fantabulous!
Manny Villar's team may rest easy now.

I have also been to one of Villar's houses and even entered the master's bedroom:)) The senator loves art and anything Pinoy. He's not so much into the colonial stuff.
+ S T A R + February 23, 2010 at 4:03 PM
to think that it was owned by a "MAN", mas maganda siguro na Industrial ang maging taste niya.
looking at the photos, the house looks like victorian with a mixture of interiors found in middle eastern palaces.
austenfan February 23, 2010 at 4:18 PM
Oooh, so you're voting for Gibo? :p [I am! :)]
We always pass by Villar's place but all we ever get to see is the fencing (it's too high!). :)
wahaha everything about this post is so ridiculously funny frances! i love that it was supposedly mugabe's then it's owned by this bollywood star pala. makes it even more funny than ever!
Jayme February 23, 2010 at 7:08 PM
Looks like a Bollywood star's home alright. This looks too lavish and intricate even for someone as wealthy as Manny Villar.
This is one of the reasons I've always shied away from delving into politics. What people will do to get into power is unimaginable. This email smear campaign is still low on the mudslinging scale.
Oy, Anonymous at 3:53 PM, what were you doing in the senator's bedroom? At least si Ms Frances was in his house for a magzine shoot! Ikaw whats your excuse?
Ms Frances, how galing naman your investigative powers!
cris February 23, 2010 at 8:22 PM
Got the same email but didn't believe it. It's obviously a demolition job. Nung una nga I thought it was Aling Dionisia's mansion e hahaha! Wasn't able to watch TV bits about her house kasi so I don't know squat how her mansion looks like.
I was interviewing someone in the family and that person showed us the rooms. The house is super-neat and orderly. The art is to die for but not gaudy. FYI, it's the senator who collects art and he also plays the piano.
hi frances!
i've received this email for 5 times already since this morning. i just replied to them with a link to this entry. hope it's ok =)
i'm voting also for that candidate who has a pretty wife ;)
Im voting for the one with a pretty DAUGHTER :))
Sam August 24, 2011 at 2:54 PM
Is that really his house? It's very huge. I think it's great living in that place.


What's that you've found? An LT1 powered family sedan that is brown and cheap? It might not be a wagon, but it'll haul a small family and return decent highway fuel economy while flying totally under the radar. Find this 1994 Buick Roadmaster sedan offered for $1800 in Peru, IN via craigslist. I think I found this link in a comment somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it now.
The name Roadmaster usually associated with Buick's wagon version, but a sedan version was released in 1992 following the success of the Estate Wagon. It also shared parts with the Chevy Caprice/Olds Custom Cruiser, and was a body-on-frame dinosaur that survived until 1996.
The Roadmaster is powered by the LT1, a cast iron pushrod and fuel injected equipped V8 that was good for 260 horsepower and 330 ft-lbs of torque. The only transmission available was an old school automatic slushbox, but folks have been known to swap 6-speeds in place of the auto.
I'm not sure if it was me. I suggested one recently for the post looking for a car for Scot and his family. But they were wagons, so I'm not positive. If it was my post then, once again, I get no street cred!
Gee you could swap a Volvo wagon body onto that LT1!
Every time I see one of these I'm reminded of the Mother Ginger character in the Nutcracker, there's just so much extra sheetmetal here you expect to see half a dozen Geo Metros come scooting out of the fenderwells.
