I have been extremely busy with my doctoral studies....it's driving me literally mad.....grrrrhhhh!

wow....sounded like you had a really bad experience...so sorry to hear it! Men and women have the same dilemma of finding the right person. We women do not have it easier...it's still a struggle.

I cant believe you came all the way from Spain.  What prompted you to go to the Philipines anyway?

Anyway, here's my email ccaztn@aol.com if you'd like to chat more.  It's so cumbersome to keep on opening this site...hehehe!

Funny you say that because I am not even looking anymore....hehehe! Somehow they find me...but they are the wrong ones g***!

Anyway, I am back in normal environment in California and who knows....he's just lurking in the dark...hehehe!

Keko, where do you live? Or did you decided to stay in Philippines?

Keko, that's another big dilemma....who are the right people? I was visited Philippines in September and I was completely lost....so my family guided me through a lot of places.  I only hanged out with very few old friends.

I think I need a different strategy! heheheh      It's a jungle out there..hehehe!

Keko, I have already tried that and men from the stone age showed up...hehehe!

Concerncitizen, do you have a background in law or studied law? With due respect, I believe I do understand the law pretty well, afterall I am a lawyer.

Cheers!

Well excuse me for sounding a bit ignorant, however, as far as I know even if the governor does not have the full responsibility of legislating the elected governor MJST communicate with the Legislature during each calendar year regarding the condition of the province and make recommendations. Furthermore, isnt the governor required to submit itemized budget to the legislature. Doesn't the governor also have the power and authority to veto any bill passed by the legislature and return it with objections to the house of origin?

That said, a full understanding of the workings of legislature is of utmost important and I should say mandatory.

One of the primary duties of a governor is to see that the law is faithfully executed. Without the fulll understand of how laws are created by the legislature how do you suppose a governor can effectively and efficiently perform his duties?

Cheers!

I like Cesar as an actor, however, can he legislate?  What are Chatto's credentials? This is not a popularity contest rather than the future of the Philippines is at state here.

Vote wisely!  Good luck!

Cheers!

MAY ALL OF YOU HAVE A JOYOUS CHRISTMAS NOT JUST THIS TIME NOR THIS SEASON BUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND A PROSPEROUS AND BLISSFUL NEW YEAR TO COME.

I am excited to see my friends in Canada although I am not looking forward to the cold weather!

Please be safe everyone!

HUGS AND KISSES TO ALL OF YOU!     

Attitude and outlook in life helps so much! I am into extreme sports and activities, i.e. skydiving, rock climbing, scuba diving, zumba, swimming, tennis, rollerblading, and riding my harley.  It's not only exhilarating but it releases all the tensions and stresses I have.

I stay away from negative people because they tend to also bring you down. So, surround yourself with happy and positive people. Don't sweat the small stuff!      

Lastly, find inner peace! Be at peace with yourself and with others!

My first question is: What has he done so far to merit such a vote for presidency? I have not heard anything much about him until his mother passed away and he somehow capitalized on that popularity.

Vote wisely!

SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LOSS....SHE IS IN MY PRAYERS. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE!

It does really work! Look at me, I am 70 yrs old and I look like this...hehehe

It's wonderful because I can have real time face to face conversations with my family and friends. It's amazing! I am so addicted to it and I can almost video call them anytime.

Being single is nice for a while but there I always prefer to be married. I hate going on dates... it is so calculated and rehearsed.  One day I will find my right match.  Sorry, I do not want an old person. I am very active and I want someone that can keep up with my pace, you know what I mean?     

He's out there somewhere! If you find him, will you tell him I'm looking for him?  LOL

I DO NOT sweat the small stuff. Life is too short to ponder on small things. I never hold a grudge on anyone, forgive those that done wrong to me, and forgive myself for things I've done to others.

Exercise, eat well, have some fun, and lots of sex...hehehe!

Now, my secret is out!

In lieu of writing cards and letters, I sent personalized video greetings or video calls.  I am a tech person and I enjoy using the most recent technology in communication I can find...its great!

For most women, it has become a "filler" in their lives for all the inadequacies they recieve from their partners. It's a "band aid" fix to satisfy what is lacking in their lives.

rice pilaf witch chicken, brussel sprouts, asparagus with cream of mushrooms, and assorted fruits.

I believe this is a very new study and has not yield sufficient scientific results as far as getting rid of diabetes. However, one proven way of getting rid of diabetes is thru gastric bypass surgery which only qualifies morbidly obese individuals. Eating okra might help reduce your sugar level as long you also minimize intake of starchy or carbohydrates and of course maintain a daily regimen of exercise. Eating okra alone does not eliminate diabetes although it would be beneficial for your body.

I am a Type 2 diabetic and there is no way to get rid of it but there is a good chance of my diabetes advancing to Type 1.

Have a wonderful day.

Yes we do give a separation package.... a minimum of 2 wks pay plus 1 wk pay for each year employed full time with the company after the 5th year.  It is actuallly very generous compared to several companies. As the CFO of the company, it does break my heart to make recommendations like this but I also have to think about the hundreds of employees still left.

Happy Holidays!  Ciao

Made a presentation and proposal to shut down one of our non-revenue generating facilities.  It will be shut down after the holidays.  It's a smaller facility and will affect only about 10 people unlike the last one in Nevada which laid-off 35 people. Being a CFO is a heart-breaking role sometimes.

Preparing my Christmas trip to Canada....I can't wait just to get away and hang out with old friends.

Ciao

Wow....good luck and have a safe election.  I wish I can run for office in Bohol - I know I would be a good public servant.  Afterall, I have the Gamutan and Torralba bloodlines.

God bless to all!
Ciao

I ENJOYED looking at your pics.....thank you so much for sharing!

Ciao     

Wow...it's been a while since the last time I posted! Terribly busy with work and the holiday's mischiefs..lol!

I enjoy this site very much....everyone seems very cordial.....and beautiful people.

Ciao

Just what I need now....just kidding!

Ciao 

Hello Lorenzo,

Don't take this wrong...this is a compliment but somehow I feel nauseated at your comments....hehehe!

Ciao
Carmen

Hello Mack,

With all sincerity, I wish you success in passing this exam. However, regardless of the outcome still count all the blessings you have. You have tremendously pursued and established yourself in a different field, which I am sure you also excelled. I would not consider you a misfit but maybe this is your true professional calling.

Nevertheless, I wish you good luck on the exam. Pass or not...I'm sure you are great in what you do!

Take care
Carmen     

I actually pray and thank God for giving me another day! Each day is special!  Then I turn on the computer!

Carmen     

In all honesty, it will take me a lifetime to discover my own self....how much more discovering your partner.  Sometimes, the challenge of discovering each other is part of growing and nurturing of the relationship.  Other times, it could mean the parting of ways. No one can ever predict but we all take our chances..... a chance to find happiness with the one we are with, right?

Hugs and kisses!
Carmen

I couldn't have said it any better than this Glacer! 

Carmen

I am just revisiting this question that I started and I can see we have somehow digress a little bit.  Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoyed reading the responses!

Hugs and kisses!
Carmen

Hello Fr. Orbos,

Thank you so much for sharing this excellent gospel today! You are right, we are not saints but we can at least strive to be truthful not only to others but most especiallyy to ourselves.

Thank you!
Carmen

I couldn't agree with you more Hofelina! I am born Catholic (Roman) and will die a catholic, however, it does not necessarily mean believers of other faiths are less than ours. My first husband is Catholic but his family was dysfunctional, my second husband is Muslim and we clash more his culture than religion, and might even marry a protestant!
It is how you live your life and how you treat people that makes you a good person..... regardless of your faith!

When did they start on the initial designs? When was the final prototype launched? 

Not have enough time to live to be able to do what I hope to do!

Lastly, smelling and eating anything garlicy!

Blunt
Intelligent
Insatiable

The ship is a symbol of your journey in life and from birth to death. In a man's dream, the ship represents his longing to love a woman. Being a passenger on a ship, you are dissatisfied with your life and want a change. Boarding the wrong ship, take a close look at your professional and personal relationships and goals - you have made wrong decisions. The "shio pf your life" can bring you to happy as well as unhappy places.

Dreaming of excrement, you have gained new insight from past experiences. Seeing or stepping in excrement is a good omen: personal matters are resolved in your favor and to your satisfaction.

Hope this helps you!

Ciao     

Be kind to everyone if possible; It is always possible!

Ciao

Graded some papers for tomorrow's class and some karaoke in between! Stayed home all day!

Ciao

I hope so too Lorenzo! We always have choices and we always take a chance..... I am going to take my time but I already have someone in mind.  He is very persistent and I feel his sincerity and his love.  A friend told me that I should marry the man that loves me more.

Ciao

In fairness to the women, of course the men knew those women are only there temporarily and some of these men also wanted to "play the field", right? How much more fun can you get.....you the booty but there is no strings attached!

Ciao

     that's what I call real unlucky!

Ciao

Never underestimate your role as a housewife... that is a huge task that involves 24/7 attention to details otherwise your children and/or partner are not fed on time, dont have clean clothes to wear, dont have clean house to come home to, dont have a nurse to take care of them when they are sick, etc.

In fact I salute you!

Ciao

In HS I dislike home economics...I never liked cooking, crafts, etc.  I like all the sciences and english. Somehow I was the favorite with the Benedictine nuns so I always ended up best in religion in grade school and high school. I excelled in music because of my piano background and singing voice.

College - I love the debate classes, management, and finance classes.  I did not like accounting so much....who knew I ended up taking another BS in the US majoring in Accounting...hehehe! I dated a young economics professor - but not my professor.

Ciao

Say sorry and better mean what you say!

Ciao!

I do not believe in too much passion....that should be a blessing! For me, passion is passion and one could never have enough of it. How can anyone have too much passion?

Ciao

Forgive me but I don't quite understand the question.  What do you mean by "open" woman in this context?

Ciao

When I visited Cebu in September, with someone I knew in high school.  Have not seen him since we graduated but the chemistry was still there.  I dont call it a relationship because I dont think its going to work....he's there and Im back in California.

Just like Glace.... I am a very needy person...Long distance romance does not work for me.... I need the body heat! 

I hate garlic....eweee!

I cried this afternoon and it came with my terrible migraine.  I will be travelling to Nevada next week to shut down one of our facilities which means I will be laying off all the employees in that facility.  It's a terrible feeling...I do the budgets and forecasting as a CFO and therefore made this proposal to the president of the company who also agreed with me.  It's the only way the whole company can survive at this dwindling economy.  This is the 3rd facility I had to shut down within this year.

Ciao

I will make sure to eat from this place when I visit Bohol next year.....yummy!

Ciao

Me too Raquel! I like tall men.... the shortest would bde 5'11 but mostly they are 6 ft and up.

Teeth is also very important for me....nothing turns me off seeing bad teeth - it can sometimes mean he has bad breath...hehehe!

Ciao

Hello Misty, I like the fact that you are still forgiving and yet firm on your ground.  We women should not tolerate repeated unfaithfulness from our partner.  I asked the same question.... would he grant you the same if you have been unfaithful to him?

Ciao

Anna, you are just among us... we are forgiving because we love our partners.  Hypothetically speaking, would he do the same if you've done the same thing? Take care of each other!

Ciao

Lorenzo, I really admire you for being faithful to your partner! That is a rarity these days and I hope you stay the same.

Sometimes people cheat because they need to take time or space from their partner, dissatisfied with theri relationship which means they are probably ready to move on/out - which brings us to our question few days ago that I believe it is important that divorce should be mandated in the Philippines.

You and I have experienced unfaithful partners and it has traumatized us beyond belief but we do not give up, right!
Good luck to you!

Ciao

We talking about physical attributes only that you are first attracted (do not include intelligence, perspective in life, etc.) to the opposite sex.

The first thing that attracts me to the opposite sex is his mouth. I like men with luscious lips..... very kissable and I'm sure they can do a lot with those lips....      !

I am told the first they get attracted on me are my legs.

Ciao my darlings!     

Wrong or right I believe we need to show a little compassion! 
I suggest we close this topic!

Ciao

Good for you dabinsi! See, we women are more forgiving and we fight for what is rightfully ours sometimes. Men on the other hand don't! I did not catch my ex red-handed but the obvious signs were there and like you I had enough and left him. Once I leave there is never a coming back!  I applaud you for being a strong woman.

Ciao 

This is very interesting topic especially with the filipinos' double standard.  A lot of filipino men are habitual cheaters and it is almost accepted by our society and forgiven by their partner.  I have asked several men this question "Would you expect your partner to forgive you if you were caught cheating? and most of them said yes.  Turned the tables around, if they caught their partner cheating, their answer would be "hell no!"

What do you think?

Ciao

Glace sorry to ask....are you a male or female? Just curious! Please dont be offended, ok!

Ciao 

Yes I do have several suitors but how would one know who is the right one...I guess the only thing to find out if to be with them.  Even then, I might find out later he is really not the one....good thing there is divorice, right? 

I am much more careful right now and I am not going to compromise anymore! 

Thanks dabinsi!

Ciao

I love to read autobiographies of famous and infamous people, however, I have been inundated with current work responsibilities. So I have been stuck reading and analyzing the company's financial reports as well as assignments submitted by my students.

Ciao

Lorenzo, I can hold my own as far as riding. It's an exilerating feeling.

Suitors, they are still there, heehhe! However, I am not ready to commit into a relationship as of yet.

Ciao

Glace, I do not have a child with my 2nd hubby..but have one with my 1st.

I have not been in Canada but plan to visit friends last week of May next year.  Take care.

Ciao

Let me know when you find the answer, will ya?

Ciao

God, our Supreme Being and my parents! I always believe He has plans for me so when I am going through my "lows" in my life. I never forget my daily prayers. I am a fervent believer in prayers.

My parents also gives me strength knowing that they have through so many rough times and they were able to surpass them, did not lose their faith in God and the ability to see things through.

Ciao

Every time IS ALWAYS the best time!

Ciao!

You are amusing!  This is my favorite season - a little nippy and sometimes chilly at night... makes my skin much more sensitive every time it touches the sheets....hehehe!  One of the best times to ride my Harley with my friends.

Ciao!

That's my zodiac sign and I love to hunt!   hehehe... - just kidding

Ciao

Thank you for patiently waiting!

I believe I have already mentioned earlier in this discourse that older women (not all) has gone through their share of experiences that most men are attracted to. I consider myself a cougar - very different from just "older women". WE COUGARS are financially and emotionally stable, we stay fit and take care of our body, looks, and stays DELICIOUS all the time, (yes, a little vain, hehehe). I for one, loves to have sex and I dont mean just a 1-2-3- bang thank you mam-goodbye, but a long, slow and passionate love making that does not limit to a missionary position.  I roll with the punches in life, doesnt sweat the small stuff in life. I dont like to play games like younger women because they are of course immature. I do not like "drama" and stay away from people that brings them... they tend to be very disastrous.

Bottom line.... yeyyyyyy, OLDER WOMEN ROCKS! We know how to get things done, we know what we want although sometimes not know how to get them just like the rest of the women population. This is my honest opinion.

Ciao!     

A sweet I love you's in my ear makes me take my clothes off......GRRRRRR! The insatiable lioness comes out!  Watch out!

Ciao

Dangerous would be an understatement......GRRRRRRR! 

Ciao

From the standpoint of my men, these 3 things they cant resist from me:

1. Touch of my silky smooth skin
2. Sight of my long legs
3. The thought of ravishing me again....hehehe

Ciao

Jealousy is a disease - if I was the man, I will cut her loose!  It is a sign of insecurity.

In some cases, women becomes jealous because there has been a precedence.

Ciao

Oh my goodness Glace! Pretty similar in the US.
Which part of Canada you live Glace?

Ciao

The only constant in this world is change itself. So it is inevitable that ALL of us change one way or another. Couples get married because they love each other and there is always that thought it will last forever. WE ALL change and that is something no one can deny. Couples stay married for varied reasons and the greatest of all would be love, children, compatibility, emotional and financial security, status, etc. When couples change parallel with each other during their union, they stay together. However, when couples change in different directions that is when it crumbles. NO ONE intends to be divorced when they get married but things change and people chnage - that is why we get divorced. It is better to be away from each other than to stay miserably with someone.

It is pretty naive to think and/or believe that couples do not change throughout the course of their union. That is just absolutely a lie!

Nevertheless, just "irreconcilable differences" alone does not meet the legal requirements under Philippines law.  Divorce law does!

Ciao

Unfortunately, most people that are legally separated in the Philippines does not meet the legal requirements for their marriage to be annulled.  There are also two kinds of annullment, one from the Philippines law and the other from the Roman Catholic Church law.

The divorce, I believe, is the ultimate mandate for legally separate couples who are anticipating getting married once again.

Ciao

Glace, it is not necessary to amend legal separation.  In family law that is a separate mandate. Legal separation is merely a law that would protect both parties in regards to their assets, obligations, custody, etc. Legal separation enables both parties to divide their assets, obligations, etc. accordingly.  I believe Philippines has community property law which gives equal division of everything couples own during the time of their marriage.  When I say equally, it also would be determined by the length of their union, children, etc.

Divorce, however, would allow both parties to legally remarry.  Without divorce, both parties and most especially women are at a loss. Starting over would be very difficult.  The annulment portion is also another process especially if the couple were married in a catholic church.  Annulment takes several years..... mine took 8 yrs. This allows me to remarry in a catholic church again.

Hope this info helps a bit!

Ciao

I believe there should be divorce in the Philippines.  I have noticed that when the men (husbands) leaves their family, the burden of raising the children is almost always left to the wife while the husband starts over again with someone else.  The legal separation does not give enough equity on the part of the women in the Philippines and I find that outrageous.  Women (wives) are left to mend their broken heart and try to find ways to make ends meet.  Women are often times left at a loss - financially, emotionally, etc.

Ciao

I know.... and figuratively speaking "boys" are boys in the sense that they are immature, inexperienced, unstable,  etc. while men are the complete opposite.

Ciao

I'm sorry but I dont want boys lining up! I want REAL MEN, you know what I mean? 

I want someone that knows what and how to do it! Boys are for girls! Real men are for real women like me!

Ciao

Hahah! Here we go again... yes Voda, if you ask me it does matter. I am just wondering, for the sake of discourse, what do you consider as "gifted"? or big? or small? I absolutely sure we will have differences in opinion when it comes to this!

Ciao!

I just asked someone.... it means pig, right? Are you referring to boys, men, or both?

Well, for my sake I hope I don't get pigs lining up! hehehe

Ciao 

What is "butakal"? Figure of speech?

Nope. The dream analyzer actually indicates an extremely good news in the near future; It also means, that I have to suddenly choose someone or something....which at this point is more accurate.  I have 7 suitors at this time and I have to choose among them. I think the men in my dreams represented the suitors and I am the spectator 'cause the end game lies on my final decision.

Ciao! 

Will you invite me Lorenzo? I'd like my next wedding in a church again and reception in boat or beach, at night time, everyone in their swim attires, playing my favorites rock bands, Aerosmith, Guns n Rose, Metallica, etc.

In the meantime.... i still have to find a groom..heehhe!

Ciao

Hahaha!  Grrrrrr! Is it hot in here or just me?

Ciao!

Lorenzo, sounds are huge turn on! During love making ALL our senses becomes accute.... sense of touch, smell, sight, taste, and hearing. That's what makes a good love making with your partner, dont you agree?

A 1-2-3 bang and go is only sex - not love making!

Ciao!

Good for you Glace! It's nice to have the opportunity to pick and choose, right!     

Ciao

OH YES! Just like I would like to hear my partner moan and make a sound.... it is such a HUGE turnover! Together, should make sounds with every move of our bodies.....whew! 

Ciao

Ok...in that case, here it is:

Ex husband - handsome, strong body, financially stable, strong family ties (but only with his family, not with mine), sometimes cooks, jealous, possessive, gambler, unfaithful, and a liar. I was more his financial partner.

Ex bfs - young, tall, handsome, big  ; high energy, not financially stable, loving, cooks well, emotionally secure, a lot more good and bad qualities.

Future - remains to be seen! I guess I will know when I meet him, right?

Ciao!     

LMAO - Glace!     

Gesture well taken!

Ciao

I appreciate it Glace! I have met and made friends from all walks of life and I can honestly and humbly say I have a versatile personality. I can contribute through my experiences from issues involving academia, politics, hobbies, religion, etc.

More power to your forum and I am having a blast - can't you tell?

Ciao

I have always been told it's my fresh natural scent especially coming out of a shower - not camouflage with perfumes.  It's the fresh smell of my breath.

I would have to say, I like the same with men.... just natural smell of his skin especially after a good shower (with me, hehehe). I do not like men that wears too much cologne...eweee!

Ciao     

Are you referring to your LOVED one(s) - those people that you loved? OR are you referring to those you LOVE NOW?

Just want to clarify before I make a statement!

Ciao     

My dream was about watching few men shooting each other! I was the only spectator.
I actually consulted my book of dreams and I'd like to see if you have the same analysis.

Ciao
