Written by Mark aka RAMPAGE the ERBavengerA Special Note to All (April 2000):
Special Thanks section
First and foremost, I'd like to thank and dedicate this website to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the one who gave me the talents and skills I have to make this page. I'd also like to thank my family: Papa, Mama, Christine, Kuya, Micah, Matthew, and Martin, who stood behind me on this idea and helped me with some of the sections.I'd also like to also thank and dedicate this site to my friends:
My bestfriend, sweet, loving, understanding, and only a call a way: Faith...I wish I could've seen you more, dear. I miss your voice and just talking to you about nothing and everything. You could always cheer me up. Write to me and stay in touch, now that you're a big college girl. No, I don't think you're an old goat. You're a really beautiful friendly girl. Stick close to your friends, k? And stop procrastinating :-) Love you!
Sweet Janna, one of my good friends. I miss you, you know. We haven't spent much time together since, but it's okay. You're still my friend and that's what's special. My Joey Potter...stay close to God.
Sara 'Lee' (loved those cookies you bake, girl!), hope things are alright between us now. Write me, k?
Dave 'the rocker'. Dude! If you ever see this message, write to me. You know who you are. Miss hanging out with you.
David 'the man from the great iceberg', great drummer. Thanks for helping me with the band and always being a friend, buddy.
Sweet and Caring, and always a true friend Michelle. Michelle, you know you're one of my best friends. You're someone I can just talk to and know that you accept me for the way I am. You're such a sweet kind and caring girl. I just know God will bless you with the most amazing guy one day. Stay close to Him.
Singer Arlie, for inspiration
NASA Scott, buddy, haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope you're doing good. Thanks for being a good friend. I know I can rely on you, man.
P. Benjie, you're more then just a Pastor, you're my friend; and a friend to all. Thanks for showing me how to be generous and a good caring person.
Ate Chette, you're really what an Ate should be. You want to see me excel and grow close to God. And it's a comforting thought just knowing that you have my back. Thanks.
P. Alvin, what can I say? You're a very fun youth pastor who's never boring. You are so cool.
Cutie Pie Mae Mae, who provided the basis for a planet, a Transformer, and an adorable alien race in the TMV fanfics (check 'em out! ;), love ya, girl. Universally, and I mean everyone I ask say that you're just too cute. I agree. Anyway, hope we can still be friends and hopefully get a stronger friendship in the near future. Stay yourself, cause that's what makes you so special. Oh, keep on being photogenic and the definition of cuteness. Keep on loving being on camera. You're good at it :-)
Gayle di Diva and di fasion designer (your are an amazing artist), you know GCF won't be GCF without you. I'm so glad you didn't leave to SIngapore for good. Thank you. Thank you for being a friend to me. I know I messed up before, but I'm glad you're such a forgiving person. You're really understanding and cool. You've got an amazingly cool accent too :) Princess, fair maiden, my inspiration for cards...
Carla Cutes, also known as Carla Kulet, but to me, she's cute. You've got the sweetest cutest laugh on this planet, girl. Thanks for always considering me your friend. Hope we stay in touch though college seems to have taken you away from me. You always have and always will be someone that can bring a smile to my face. Thanks...
Camera-Shy Ginger who turned out to be a great artist as well, close to phenominal,
Star struck Cha-Cha,
Director DJ,
Becca, the girl from ATS
Kristine, the girl who always likes to talk, but confuses me with my brother...I'll never forget that phone call mix up :) And you, continue being friendly. You know we all love you for the way you are. You're a pretty girl on the inside and out, and that's what counts, right? Wait, that didn't come out right. Well, you're a good singer and it's cool seeing how God is developing you in that skill. Be friendly and don't ignore friends. That's all I have to say.
ChannelS Coordinator Neil, 24/7, that's all I have to say
Counter-Strike Playing, Basketball Shooting, Winnie the Pooh Loving, All original, Beautiful Camper Jeunesse, (What makes you different, makes you beautiful 2 me -Backstreet Boys),
Great artist and God loving James Michael. Dude, you really are my kuya in Christ, thanks for always being behidn me and guarding my back. Thanks for wanting to see me stay strong in the faith. You're a real encouragement. Even after a year, we're still good friends. And it's still amazes me how God sent you into my life that time when I was feeling down and lonely. You were there and we talked for several minutes and became friends. God seems to have called both of us down the same paths. You took art, I want to take graphic design or marketing, and now you are in seminary while I plan to go to seminary after college. You're my best 'guy' friend, man. Stay true to God and strong in your faith. Luv ya!
Sherry 'don't go, talk to me girl', yes you, my best friend. You're the girl with the awsome hair and who is what a friend shoudl be. Thanks for always wanting to talk and liking me for me and not interpreting the sweet things I do the wrong way. Stay cool and never change.
Sarah, the girl that was a true God send to me on my birthday.
All round Nice Guy Nate, nuff said
All the cheery UGA students who visited GCF on their missions trip in the summer of 2000,
'Backstreet Boy' James who is always N 'sync when performing (and comb your hair!), Man, you are one cool dude, really. Thanks for being one of my closest friends. Write to me, k man? I don't want to lose touch with you. Hey, and keep writing Faith. She's a sweet amazing girl that you shouldn't let get away...but you already knew that :)
'Caliraya' Priscilla, hey, I miss you every time I line up for the food there. Miss seeing your sweet smile.
Airforce Ken,
Stage artist Jenny,
Da bass player Craig,
The funny and ever bubbly Katie, thanks for always cheering me up and saying that you'll always be my friend and there for me. Thanks for throwing me my first and apparently only surprise birthday party. And of course, you seem to bring out the spontaneousness in me, which I have to thank you for. I'll miss you. Keepi n touch, hey?
Geoffrey the CAMP Director,
The twins Christina and Laura,
Clarinet playin' Mary,
Guitar plain', youth group leadin', bongo bashin' Bashkov,
Ate Cherry da listener, thanks for being a friend to me. Thanks for keeping me on edge and adding that dash of humour and strawberry perfume into my life.
YTP director Ate Lani,
Camera Chris, the guy so cool from API
Ate Chiki, you are a God send. When I was feeling down, you were there. Thanks for always being there for me, showing you care. Thanks for being my big sister. You're such a huge engouragement in my life. I feel so blessed just knowing you. Everytime I'm with you, I can really feel God's love for me as I see it shine through you. There is this absolutely amazing sense of hope I get, this feeling that I'm not such a bad guy after all, that there are people out there that love me, whenever I'm with you. Thank you for giving me that. Thank you, sis. Love you!
'Shway' Daniel, it's cool having someone who also loves Batman Beyond in the country. I still smile thinking of the time our families watched Batman Beyond Return of the Joker together in Subic. That was awsome. Thanks for being my friend, man. You're a real encouragement in my life. THanks.
Jeanne Marie, of the MSS Doulos...thanks for talking to me at Caliraya. Highlight of the week. Thanks. You brought a spot of sunshine to that day and I hope I'll one day see you again and we can have a good a chat.
Johanna, the sweet cute as a cabbage patch doll from teh SH 11am. Thanks for being a friend and smiling at me and stuff. You're sweet. And that makes you too amazing to ever forget.
The girl with the hot red hair: Esther. Thanks for those great phone conversations. You too, have a good laugh, the kind I can listen to for hours. Wish we could've spent more time together, actually, I regret I didn't become your friend sooner. Sorry. Be sure to never forget me, cause I'll never forget you.
Arlene, the girl who's rad, bad, and who's never been had. Don't ask, it's a Batman Beyond line :) But honestly, you have been one of those people that just encourage me every time I'm with you. I may be having a bad day, like I usually do after SatJAM, but you're the one who comes and cheers me up with a joke or maybe saying hi to me.
Mike, my ICQ chat buddy. You'll find the one soon enough. God will lead you to her and provide the path for you to take...all you'll need to do is trust Him and take it. Other then that, thanks for being such a great encourager to my bro. He's a better person for it. Thanks. You just continue leavnig your life in God's hands. That's the best place for it anyway.
The great singer Lea, the chick that I never knew but knew me. Thanks for the most inspiring note you wrote on my back. It brought tears to my eyes. I really needed that. Thanks. I promise I'll get to know you over the next few weeks.
Chelo, the little sis of my big sis. For some reason, I feel like I have to look out for you, but you don't need any. That's cause you know how to take care of yourself. You're so friendly and have the prettiest smile. Plus, it's fun being teased that you like me :-) But that's all behidn us, right? You just stay that little girl you are and do what your sister says. She may seem a bit 'out of date' to you, but she knows her stuff. Thanks for saying hi to me, also.
Charity, I know I never really got to know you, but I feel that you're a friend that's fun to be with. True, we did go a bit over board on teasing at camp and after camp with all the "I LOVE YOU"s and "WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME TO THE BANQUET"s. But it happens. And it was fun. Hope we can continue being friends and we can still be all cool and relaxed with each other enough to mess around wtih each other (and I mean in teasing terms)
Matsu, thanks for always being there to swoop down on your white horse and save me from a broken guitar. You're an inspiration to me to learn and become better in guitar playing. Thanks for also singing in the worship band. You saved us, man. Thanks.
Adrian, the bass player, who's just too cool. Keep working and having your heart set on God, buddy.
Dave *baog* as your email says. I have no clue why, but that's what you liek being called. Thanks for being a friend to me. I know you enjoy being like the kuya type, but you're more of a friend that I know I can depend on. You're honest and smart, and I know one day God will bless you with an amazing girl that you deserve. You are a great singer too. And take good care of Mae Mae, huh, she's your 'little sis' after all.
Chia! Yes, you. You, the girl who seems to be my friend one minute and then my best friend teh next. You're a sweet gal who has a heart for everyone. Friendly, witty, and cute, those are the words that describe yous. But I guess it's cause it's true. Stay thin, fresh, and take care of that hair. Oh, and it may help if you start talking to guys on the phone instead of having your big bro scare 'em off. You're a great girl who deserves the best.
Kit Pancit, you know, I guess i have to say thanks for being like a friend to me. But mainly, thanks for making Wella smile. She seems to be so happy with you. I wish you two would get together and get married or something. But whatever you want. More importantly, what God wants. Just keep being yourself.
Dude, NJ, where's your car? Just kidding. Thanks for being that guy at camp who looked out for me in our group. Thanks for treating me as an equal and seeing me for me and not looking at the outward appearance. It's good to know that I have friends like you. Oh, stay close to God and keep things sharp with Him.
Kurt, thanks for being a friend and being a good guy to hang out with. Same to you Stephen and Julian.
and all the others who have encouraged me to use my talents for God.
