Aho kining gibalik og post kay gihangyo ko ug ahong panghinaut nga walay dakong gubot nga mahinabo tungod niini.


Balut I

Ingon mo
way lami ang balut

Suma ninyo.

A week ago was Easter Sunday
it was a day for resurrection.
So now let us, with minds at ready,
resume the rhymes, no hesitation.

Free verse or metered, it does not matter
as long as syllables will rhyme
and even if your words should scatter
as long as they are still in time.

So come and post in any language
and in this manner expedite
you will soon find that on the average
these rhymes will give you much delight.

Since an example might better illustrate how this thread should proceed, please read the following:

Post 1:
What would you do if you had one keg of Red Horse Beer?

Post 2:
I would go on an all-night drinking spree with my friends.

What would you do if you had one million yen?

Post 3:
Wait a year for the exchange rate to go up and then spend it.

What would you do if you had one _________?

And so on and so forth.

Ahong ipatik sa hunasan
ang tanan kong gibati alang kanimo.
Ang kada pulong, linya, ug berso
nga isulat ko sa balas
ihalad ko sa katahum mo
ug sa imong pahiyom
nga maoy hinungdan
sa tanang kasakit kong gidangatan.

Hinaut nga sa pagtaub sa dagat
mabanwas sa mga balod
ang tagsa-tagsang titik kong gipatik
ug susama niini
nga maalim usab ang mga samad
ning kasing-kasing.

Uwat na lang unta

I remember the phrase...

Panatang Makabayan, Iniibig ko ang Notre Bun
Bahala'g way Palaman, basta busog ang tiyan.

Daghana na man ning kausaban ug kaugmaran diri.  Nalibog ko ug nabag-ohan.  Ako'y nalilibog!!!   Tabang!

Ug karon napamatud-an na
Nga ang alimyon
Sa rosal sa imong nataran
Nga mopuno sa ahong payag og kahumot
Uban sa nagsingabot nga kangitngit sa kilum-kilum
Nahisalaag lang
Da sa hoyohoy nga way kaugalingong buot.
Pasayloa ako kung nadani
Sa dalisay nga kahumot
Sa rosal sa imong nataran
Bisan nga nahibawo ako
Nga lain ang imong gipahinungdan niini.
Paningkamutan ko nga dili na mausab
Ang pagpahimulos ko
Sa kalipay nga kinabig lang sa hangin.

Sap-ongan ko ang pagdagayday sa tubod
nga magabisbis sa imong humayan
ug mga tanaman. 
Kay kon pasagdan ko kini sa pagbuhagay
ngadto sa imong lapyahan,
di ko na ikalimod
kon dis-a kini gikan
ug asa kini padulong.
Sap-ongan ko kini
bisan pa’g mo-ingon ang tigulang nga
ang tubig kon pugngan,
mo-bun-og ra jud inig kadugayan
ug siya ang una nga ma-angol
nga nagpugong sa nag-uros-uros nga sug.
Sap-ongan ko kini kay
laing tubod ang nagsubay sa imong kahumayan,
laing tubod and nagbisbis sa imong tanaman,
laing tubod ang nakapatagbaw sa imong ka-uhaw.

I have read this once before, and it may already be here, but when I got this in email recently, it made me laugh again.  If it weren't for the moral lessons, this would be in the Jokes and Humor thread.


Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.  When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world. "Puff! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life. "Puff! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.  The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"  The eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

Bull s*** might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.


Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.  The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:

1) Not everyone who sh!ts on you is your enemy

2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh!t is your friend

3) And when you're in deep sh!t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!


This ends the 3-minute management course!

I got this in my email.  If you've never read it, just take some time to read it:

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish.  And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees.  I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are:   Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away .

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?   I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.   But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina); Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.  She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.   And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools , and we said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.   Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says .  Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.   Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it.... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.   My Best Regards.

Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

Amen

For those who don't yet know, Mike's father is in critical condition right now.  Let us offer a prayer for him.  May God give him physical and spiritual healing.

(alang kang Nicole ug alang kang Filipinas)

The prey is
spread-eagled on the ground
her limbs bound by claws
that shatter bones
as he tears off her flesh
            piece by piece
with his beak.

His weight bears down on her
and she writhes to break free
but every quiver breaks a bone
and the claws dig deeper, harder.

She gasps, draws breath,
but through a slit throat
the wind merely whistles
with frothy blood.

So she bleeds,
until he has his fill,
and leaves her
spread-eagled.

The remains lie
spread-eagled
on the ground.

Blood stains the dirt,
what flesh remains blisters in the heat ,
and the bones glisten ’neath the sun

As above,
vultures
cease circling and
one by one
swoop in for a feast.

in this light
i can see you.
i can tell when a smile is on your face.
i know where you hide your hands,
see every ray of moonlight in your eyes,
and where your hair,
down to the last strand,
falls on your dress.
and if the moon decides
to hide
behind clouds tonight,
the night would not be dark.
you are here to take her place,
and i, like the sea,
drift to where you will me.

I think this one should have its own thread.  Espeicially since I have read some stories of Inday that aren't in here and which you could probably add to this.  I would like to think that the story of Inday highlights how superior Visayan facility for the English language is over that of any other region. hehehe

The True Story of Inday

STORY:
Dahil sa tindi ng kahirapan sa probinsya, namasukan si Inday bilang katulong sa Maynila. Habang ini-interview ng amo…
Amo: Kelangan namin ng katulong para mag-ayos ng bahay, magluto, maglaba, magplantsa, mamalengke, at magbantay ng mga bata. Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng ito?
Inday: I believe that my trained skills and expertise in management with the use of standard tools, and my discipline and experience will contribute significantly to the value of the work that you want. My creativity, productivity and work-efficiency and the high quality of outcomes I can offer will boost the work progress.
Amo: [nosebleed]

Amo: Inday, bumili ka nga ng isda sa palengke.  Ay, Inglesera ka pala… would you please buy many fishes from the market for this week’s meals?
Inday: Judging by your statement, I believe you meant a variety of fish.  The term “fishes,” although rarely used, connotes a plethora of different kinds of the said gilled aquatic creatures.  But the more pressing questions before I proceed to the wet market would be: What type of fish?  Fillet or not?  Frozen or fresh?  (pauses)  Ah…given the meager budget afforded by this household’s quasi-peasant class taste, I assume that I shall be sourcing out the staple “ga-lewng-gung?”  Am I correct?
Amo: Ah, leche!  (sabay nosebleed)

We all know of the problems that plague Philippine elections.  What reforms do you suggest to resolve some, if not all, of them?

To put it more simply, what does being a citizen mean to you?

Ok.  Someone suggested that we come up with an eyeball event for Tubag Bohol members who are based nearby.  Now I cannot really qualify what is "nearby" since, because of circumstances, it may be easier for some Ubay-based members to participate than it is for, say, members based in nearer towns (depending on how busy you are), so anyone who is based in Bohol is invited.

However, an Executive Committee (EXECOM) of sorts will need to meet and plan and organize the activity.  So, any volunteers?  (And I do mean volunteers kay from our pockets ra jud ning atong organizational expenses.)

Updates will be posted in this thread.

Congratulations are also due for Eleazar Tutor Acampado for garnering the Third Prize in Cebuano short story in the Gawad Komisyon 2007 and for taking home the Unang Pinasidunggan for Cebuano poetry in the same competition!    His works are posted in the Bisayan Writings thread by bisayantek. 

Again, congrats!

Nanghinaut ko,
Inday,
nga,
sama sa
   gi-piyongan
   nga sangputanan
   sa pahinumdom
   sa Lucky Me,
mag-abot
ang atong mga ngabil pinaagi
niining katapusang lugas
   sa pansit canton
   nga atong gi-saw-an;
ug
nga matapos
   ning atong dalikyat
   nga timo-timo
sa usa ka matam-is nga halok.

Kas-a, imo kong gi-pangutana
kung pareho ba ’tang tanan
kung magbahug?

Ako, kung magbahug,
lumson ang kan-on
sa sabaw
bisan pa’g sa kape nga mais ra,
toyo, o di ba kaha edibol
sinagula’g asin.

Pero mas ganahan jud ko’g
tinunoan,
’labina kon halang-halang.

Sa matag hungit
mosurok ang kalami,
ang kahang,
ug ang katam-is,
nga igo-igo ra.

Di ko makapugong
sa akong kaugalingon
ug ang paghungit ko magpadayon.

Kay wa ko ningkaon
aron mabusog.
Ningkaon ko aron matagamtam
sa matag hungit
ang kalami,
ang kahang,
ug ang katam-is,
nga igo-igo ra.

Kon modagayday na ang kainit
mo-una kini og saka sa ahong ulo,
mobuhagay sa tibuok ko’ng lawas
kutob sa tumoy sa ahong mga tudlo ug kumagko

Ug mahimo ko na nga kalimtan ka,
ang kainit sa imong gakus,
kahang sa imong dila,
ug katam-is sa imong halok.

Apan kon wa nay kan-on ug sabaw
una nga mamugnaw ang ahong kasing-kasing,
mosunod ang tibuok ko’ng lawas,

pangitaon na usab
ang kainit, kahang, ug katam-is mo.

Just post any mangled adage, proverb, truism, sayings, or just about any phrase that you've come across or may have even been responsible for.  Quotes from Melanie Marquez are welcome.  Even simple typos are welcome.

Time is bold.

When you strike the iron, it is hot.

Do not do unto others what you can do today.

Don't judge a book.  Cover it.

Barbaro, this hill may be the one that you said looks like the one in Himontagon.

Here's a game I used to play when I was a kid.  It's a little like TextTwist.  I'll provide a word and you form words from its letters.  Of course, you don't need to use all the letters but you have to time yourself.  I recommend from ten to fifteen minutes.  Merely adding an 's' is not counted unless it's an entirely different word and not just a plural form or a certain tense.  There are no winners here.  You only have the fun of playing the game.  Here's an example on how to play this one:

justice

just, cut, ice, suit, jut, jet, set, site, tie, cite, sit, sect, set

(You probably get it now.)

Here's the first word:

ordinary

(It's not for everyone but I hope you enjoy it. )

alang kang Ana ug sa pagsubang sa iyang adlaw
(ang unang upat ka linya pasidungog kang Javier Galvez)

Ang silak sa adlaw
Nga sayo kaganihang buntag
Ningsulod sa atong lawak
Nga way pananghid
Ug sa tibuok adlaw
Naghatud og kainit ug kalandag,
Hinay-hinay nga mibiya
Sa ganghaan sa kilum-kilum
Ug kalit nga na-wa
Diha sa kagabhion,
Uban kanimo.

Ang tamparos nga kasilak
Gitaban ’sab ang imong kasing-kasing
Ug karon inanay nga nahilis
Ang kadasig sa imong ngabil,
Inanay nga naugdaw
Ang kainit sa imong hapuhap,
Inanay nga namugnaw
Ang kasibot sa imong gakus.

Gitaban ka sa adlaw;
Ikaw ug imong kasing-kasing;
Ug ako diri nahibilin
Inusara nga nagsud-ong
Sa naghulaw nga kagabhion.

Sa ahong pagduwa-duwa
dapit sa mga oras sa kilum-kilum
- kanus-a inadlaw ang kainit sa hoyohoy
gumikan sa mobiyaay nga adlaw â€"
maka-ingon ko’g
“Ayo pa’g bungol ko.”
Aron mahimo ko’ng di tagdun
ang pagpanawag ni Mama.
Apan, bisan pa siguro’g bungol ko,
wa kini’y pulos.
Mamauli ko
sa walay pagpugos,
ug sa nagsingabot nga kangitngit
ma-abtan ko.
Kon dili sa iyang singgit,
sa paghinumdom ko sa iyang kuhit
ug sa hunghung ’ning duha ka pulong,
“Uli na.”

Here's something I wrote two years ago and published some months later in lifestylebohol of The Bohol Chronicle just because there was extra space.  I hope it's instructive.  Just note that the predictions were made two years ago and the book will only come out this month, two years later.    Beware, too, because it's very dark.  There are a lot of deaths here. 
(I deleted this from the other Harry Potter thread in this forum because it didn't really fit in.)

Harry Potter Predictions
(as approved by Prof. Sibyll Trelawney)

Next year, the seventh and (purportedly) last of the Harry Potter books will come out.  Being a gifted seer, I have had visions of what this one will be and I will impart them to you now.

However, since some of you may not have yet read the Half-Blood Prince and since I am also a very considerate gifted seer, I shall be discreet with these divinations that I have already shared to Prof. Trelawney and which have met with her pleasure and approval.

Firstly, Harry Potter’s life will be in grave danger.

Together with Ron Weasley, he shall face mortal peril.  This shall be because Mars and Jupiter are in line with the Moon and the stars of Cassiopeia have run off to the Ursa Major with Orion’s Belt.

Hermione Granger will have already died in the first page of the first chapter of the book after suffocating on a hairball coughed up by Crookshanks and just because Prof. Trelawney says so.

There will be no Hogwarts for Potter this year.

His further instruction in the arts of magic will be undertaken by an unrelenting Dobby and a sincerely unwilling Kreacher, who shall ceaselessly beat himself on the head with a club every time he shares magical instructions.

Potter will enlist the help of some members of the Order of the Phoenix to help him in his quest for the horcruxes.  However, this will be unavailing as these members of the Order will all die in their first adventure, overwhelmed by the stench of the accumulated manure of a million blast-ended skrewts and thereafter crushed to death by stampeding hippogriffs.

The position of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher will be abolished as it appears to have been of no discernible use in THE LAST SIX FRIGGIN’ BOOKS, DAMMIT!  However, Peeves will appropriate the title of DADA teacher for himself and he will spend his time dropping Dungbombs and the latest of Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes on unsuspecting students, particularly Neville Longbottom, among other pranks.

The identity of the mysterious R.A.B. will be revealed and it will be shown that this very powerful wizard is, in fact, the schizophrenic half of Rubeus Hagrid who, after finishing a correspondence course for a doctoral degree in advanced magic with the Siquijor Advanced School for Barang, has begun to call himself the Anti-Dark Lord Ruus Ar Hegbid.  The note in the locket was just a precaution in case of his death, which, of course, is inevitable.

A trusted member of the Order will betray its secrets to Voldemort.  With everyone despairing and disheartened at this development, Severus Snape will come to save the day…or will he?  Eventually, Snape will be buried and his epitaph will read, “I kept them guessing ’til the very end…or did I?”

A son of a trusted Death Eater will also betray Voldemort’s secrets to Potter, at which the former will be boiled alive in baby oil by Hewhomustnotbenamed and thereafter devoured by toothless werewolves.

As for the loveteams, Ron will hook up with Moaning Myrtle after his eventual death.  Meanwhile, Harry will find the girl of his dreams in Luna Lovegood but they will not live happily ever after since Luna will die, too.

Failing in the quest for the remaining horcruxes, which they assumed after the death of the Order members, Harry Potter and Friends will all perish in their attempt to subdue the singular scourge of the wizarding world.  The best that they will be able to manage is a spell returning Voldemort to infancy and sending him to a tropical country.

Thus, in the end, the Dark Lord Voldemort, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, the Heir of Slytherin who bears same name as his Muggle father, Tom Marvolo Riddle, shall be reborn in the Philippines, where he shall be known by the most fearsome epithet of “Junjun.”

Here's Candidate No. 6, if Mr. Admin still allows nominations.  She's hippieinchains - a free spirit swept away from Bohol by need and wanderlust and now enlisted in Uncle Sam's army.
