You ever been of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely, I can’t be that old? Well.....You’ll love this one!
 
My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with my new dentist.   I noticed his dental diploma, which bore his full name.
 
Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark haired boy with the same name had been in my secondary school class some 30-odd years ago. 
 

Could he be the same guy I had secret crush on, way back then? 

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded such any thought.
This balding, grey haired man with deeply lined face was far too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park Secondary School.
'Yes, Yes I did. I’m a Morganner! 'He beamed with pride.
 
'When did you leave to go to college? I asked
‘He answered, in 1965. Why do you asked?
 
'You were in my class! I exclaimed.
 
He looked at me closely.

Then that ugly,

Old,
 
Bald,
 
Wrinkled,

Fat arsed,

Grey haired
Decrepit,
 
Bastard asked….

‘What did you teach?

On September 1, at 5:12 in the afternoon, I have given birth to a little boy after 17 hours of labor, and 37 hours after my amniotic fluid broke. He is 3330 gram and 50 cm long. He was born with the help of a suction cup.

Some of you might have already seen pics in facebook which is posted by my husband, but I would like to share some of the pics here in TB family too. These pics are the same as in Facebook. His name is Steven.

Even before Jasmine Trias and Camile Velasco made names for themselves in the 2004 American Idol, a full-blooded Filipino already bagged the much-coveted title in another country.

It was in December 2003, several months ahead of Trias and Velasco's entry into the final 10, when Christian Mendoza was named Denmark's very own Idol.

Born to pure Filipino parents, Christian then just 17 years old, wowed Danish audiences by garnering 57 percent of the votes in the final showdown in Copenhagen. Christian was an early favorite among viewers. He rose from hundreds of Idol hopefuls through his renditions of Michael Bolton's “When a Man Loves a Woman,” Whitney Houston's “The Greatest Love of All” and even the popular Danish song “Smuk Sorn Et Stjerneskud.”

For the finals, he sang “Mystery to Me,” a mandatory piece which also became his first single released in Denmark.

With his victory, Christian is the first and only legitimate Filipino “Idol,” joining the ranks of winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino and (in United States), Will Young (in United Kingdom), Guy Sebastian (in Australia) and Kurt Nielsen (in Norway), among others.

Christian's love for singing began at the tender age of 5, when he sang gospel songs in a Baptist Church in the Philippines. This won for both silver and bronze medals in the community. At the age of 6, he told his mom that he wanted to be a pop star when he grows up. This dream became a reality when he was 14 years old relocated to Denmark to join his parents.

Since his victory, life was never the same for this talented Filipino. He has become a legitimate European singing star. In November 2004, he released his debut album Can't Break Me in Denmark featuring the R&B hit “It's All About You.” In the Philippines, the album is distributed by BMG Records.

BOOK OF LOVE

This book of love is yours,
take it and be glad,
and before you sleep tonight,
think of all the joys we shared.
Please always hold a place for me
within your memory,
forever to recall the eventide,
the moonlight,
the hours we spent together
when our love was all.

Your winsome charming ways
they captivated me,
in days of long ago
when I fell in love with thee.
O take this book of love
forever to recall the hinterland,
the river, the crystal waterfall,
the hours we spent together
when our love was all.

My heart is yours alone,
take it! Don't feel sad
and before you sleep tonight
remember love is never dead,
this book of love is yours
keep it, read it on a rainy day,
forever to recall
the hours we spent together
when our love was all.

I will try to translate this news, as best as I can..
I just pick the paragraph which I think is important.

QuoteEn 25-årig kvinde blev sent mandag eftermiddag dræbt på stedet ved en trafikulykke på Hornbækvej ved Kvistgård i Nordsjælland.

A 25 year old woman was killed by a traffic accident at Hornbaekvej, Kvistgaard i North Zealand, DK.

Quote
- En 25-årig filipinsk au pair-pige, der arbejdede og boede hos en familie i Kvistgård havde i vejkanten talt med nogle venner, der sad i en bil og var holdt ind til højre på Hornbækvej. Da samtalen var afsluttet gik hun ud foran den holdende bil og ville krydse vejen, men blev ramt af en bil, der kom fra venstre og ville køre uden om den holdende bil. Efter vor bedste overbevisning orienterede kvinden sig ikke ordentligt, inden hun krydsede vejen, og der er umiddelbart ikke noget at klandre bilisten for, siger vagtchef ved Nordsjællands Politi, Dan Houtved, til ekstrabladet.dk
Føreren af personbilen var en 42-årig mand fra Gentofte.

A 25-year old Filipina au pair girl, who work and live in one of the family in Kvistgaard, was talking with her friends beside the road . They were sitting inside the car that was parked in tthe right side of the road. After they were talking, she walked in front of the parked car and wanted to cross the road, but there was a car coming from the left side and wanted to pass the parked car. We think that the woman didn't look on the raod properly before she crossed. In this case, we cannot blame the driver for the accident.

"Unanswered Prayers"
(Garth Brooks)

Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

FBI analyst sentenced for spying

NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) -- An FBI analyst and former vice presidential aide was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for espionage after he admitted supplying classified documents to Philippine nationals in an effort to overthrow that country's government, federal prosecutors said.

Leandro Aragoncillo, 48, a former U.S. Marine and Philippine native who worked as a military aide to Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dick Cheney before joining the FBI as a civilian employee, pleaded guilty to four charges of espionage in May 2006.

The plea deal spared Aragoncillo from facing the death penalty, prosecutors said.

In a sentencing hearing Wednesday morning, U.S. District Judge William H. Walls sentenced Aragoncillo to 10 years in prison for his involvement in a plot to overthrow Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. In addition, he fined Aragoncillo $40,000.

Aragoncillo could have been sentenced to up to 20 years for participation in a conspiracy to transmit national defense information, prosecutors said.

U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie, in a news release issued Wednesday, accused Aragoncillo of "betraying his Marine uniform, his adopted country and the trust bestowed on him as an FBI analyst."

Michael Ray Aquino, a co-conspirator, was sentenced by Walls on Tuesday to six years in prison. Aquino, 41, is a former Philippine national police officer who pleaded guilty in July 2006 to taking classified documents, obtained from Aragoncillo, and passing them on to Philippine officials plotting to overthrow Arroyo.

Aragoncillo, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was arrested along with Aquino on September 10, 2005.

Mark Berman, an attorney for Aquino, said that his client admits receiving documents from Aragoncillo, but maintains that he did not know the information was classified.

Prosecutors say that Filipino recipients of the classified documents included former President Joseph Estrada, who was ousted six years ago; Sen. Panfilo Lacson, an opposition politician; and former House Speaker Arnulfo Fuentebella.

"I never intended to cause harm or injury to the United States," Aragoncillo told the judge.

Aquino's attorney said his client was "relieved" that the court rejected the government's recommended sentence of 10 years in favor of a lighter penalty.

Attorneys for Aragoncillo refused to comment.

Nagmeeting ang mga manpower sa middle-east, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain ug UEA, nga e-ban ang mga filipino OFW, tungod daw sa pagpataas sa sweldo sa mga DH, pero ila man eapil ang tanan pinoy bisan dili DH.

Maayo unta dili na mahitabo kay kung maohon daghan ang mawawad-an sa panginabuhian.
Usa pa maapektuhan pud ang ato nasud.

The following is from a British journalist stationed in the
       Philippines .
       His observations are so hilarious!!! ! This was written
       in 1999.

       Matter of Taste
       By Matthew Sutherland

       I have now been in this country for over six years, and consider
myself in most respects well assimilated.  However, there is one key
      step on the road to full assimilation, which I have yet to take,
and that's to eat BALUT.

       The day any of you sees me eating balut, please call immigration and ask them to issue me a Filipino passport. Because at that point
there will be no turning back.
       BALUT, for those still blissfully ignorant non-Pinoys out there,
is a fertilized duck egg.



       It is commonly sold with salt in a piece of newspaper, much like
       English fish and chips, by street vendors usually after dark,
       presumably so you can't see how gross it is.

       It's meant to be an aphrodisiac, although I can't imagine anything
      more likely to dispel sexual desire than crunching on a partially
       formed baby duck swimming
       in noxious fluid. The embryo in the egg comes in varying stages of
       development, but basically it is not considered macho to eat one
       without fully discernable feathers,
       beak, and claws.  Some say these crunchy bits are the best. Others
       prefer just to drink the so-called 'soup', the vile, pungent liquid
       that surrounds the aforementioned feathery fetus...excuse me; I
have to go and throw up now.   I'll be back in a minute.

       Food dominates the life of the Filipino. People here just love to eat.
       They eat at least eight times a day. These eight official meals are
       called, in order: breakfast, snacks, lunch, merienda, merienda
ceyna, dinner, bedtime snacks and
no-one-saw-me- take-that- cookie-from- the-fridge- so-it-doesn' t-count.

The short gaps in between these mealtimes are spent eating Sky Flakes
       from the open packet that sits on every desktop. You're never far
       from food in the Philippines . If you doubt this, next time you're
       driving home from work, try this game. See how long you can drive
       without seeing food and I don't mean a distant restaurant, or a
      picture of food. I mean a man on the sidewalk frying fish balls,
or a man walking through the traffic selling nuts or candy. I bet it's less
       than one minute.

       Here are some other things I've noticed about food in the
       Philippines :

       Firstly, a meal is not a meal without rice - even breakfast. In the
       UK ,  I could go a whole year without eating rice.  Second, it's
       impossible to drink without eating. A bottle of San Miguel just
isn't the same without gambas or beef tapa. Third, no one ventures more than two paces from their house without baon (food in small
       container) and a container of something cold to drink. You might
as well ask a Filipino to leave home without his pants on. And
lastly, where I come from, you eat with a knife and fork. Here, you eat
with a spoon and fork. You try eating rice swimming in fish sauce with
a knife.

       One really nice thing about Filipino food culture is that people
       always ask you to SHARE their food. In my office, if you catch
anyone attacking their baon, they will always go, "Sir! KAIN TAYO!"
("Let's eat!").
This confused me, until
       I realized that they didn't actually expect me to sit down and start
       munching on their boneless bangus. In fact, the polite response is
       something like, "No thanks, I just ate." But the principle is
sound -  if you have food on your plate, you are expected to share it,
however hungry you are, with those who may be even hungrier. I think
that's great!

       In fact, this is frequently even taken one step further.
       Many Filipinos use "Have you eaten yet?" ("KUMAIN KA NA?") as a general greeting, irrespective of time of day or location.

       Some foreigners think Filipino food is fairly dull compared to
other Asian cuisines.
       Actually lots of it is very good: Spicy dishes like Bicol Express
       (strange, a dish named after a train); anything cooked with coconut
       milk; anything KINILAW; and anything ADOBO.  And it's hard to beat the sheer wanton, cholesterolic frenzy of a good old-fashioned
LECHON de leche (roast pig) feast.  Dig a pit, light a fire, add 50
pounds of animal fat on a stick,  and cook until crisp. Mmm, mmm...
       you can actually feel your arteries constricting with each
successive mouthful.


       I also share one key Pinoy trait --- a sweet tooth. I am thus the only
       foreigner I know who does not complain about sweet bread, sweet
       burgers, sweet spaghetti, sweet banana ketchup, and so on. I am a
man who likes to put jam on his pizza.  Try it!
       It's the weird food you want to avoid.  In addition to duck fetus in
       the half-shell, items to avoid in the Philippines include pig's blood
       soup (DINUGUAN); bull's testicle soup, the strangely-named "SOUP NUMBER FIVE"
(I dread to think what numbers one through four are);
       and the ubiquitous, stinky shrimp paste, BAGOONG, and it's equally stinky sister, PATIS.

       Filipinos are so addicted to these latter items that they will even
       risk arrest or deportation trying to smuggle them into countries
like Australia and the USA , which wisely ban the importation of items
you can smell from more than 100 paces.


       Then there's the small matter of the purple ice cream. I have
never been able to get my brain around eating purple food; the
ubiquitous UBE leaves me cold.

       And lastly on the subject of weird food, beware: that KALDERETANG KAMBING (goat)
could well be KALDERETANG ASO (dog)...

       The Filipino, of course, has a well-developed sense of food.
Here's a typical Pinoy food joke:  "I'm on a seafood diet.
"What's a seafood diet?" "When I see food, I eat it!"

       Filipinos also eat strange bits of animals --- the feet, the head,
       the guts, etc., usually barbecued on a stick. These have been
given witty names, like "ADIDAS" (chicken's feet); "KURBATA" (either just chicken's neck, or
       "neck and thigh" as in "neck-tie"); "WALKMAN" (pigs ears); "PAL" (chicken wings); "HELMET" (chicken head); "IUD" (chicken
intestines), and BETAMAX" (video-cassette- like blocks of animal blood).  Yum,yum.  Bon appetit.


       WHEN I arrived in the Philippines from the UK six years ago, one of the first cultural differences to strike me was names. The subject
       has provided a continuing source of amazement and amusement ever since.
       The first unusual thing, from an English perspective, is that
       everyone here has a nickname. In the staid and boring United
Kingdom , we have
       nicknames in kindergarten, but when we move into adulthood we
tend, I am glad to say, to lose them.

       The second thing that struck me is that Philippine names for both
       girls and boys tend to be what we in the UK would regard as
       overbearingly cutesy for anyone over about five.
Fifty-five-year- olds colleague put it.

       Where I come from, a boy with a nickname like Boy Blue or Honey
Boy would be beaten to death at school by pre-adolescent bullies, and
       never make it to adulthood. So, probably, would girls with names
like Babes, Lovely, Precious, Peachy or Apples.   Yuk, ech ech. Here,
       however, no one bats an eyelid.

       Then I noticed how many people have what I have come to call
       "door-bell names". These are nicknames that sound like -well, doorbells. There are millions of them.

      Bing, Bong, Ding, and Dong are some of the more common. They can be, and frequently are, used in even more door-bell-like
combinations such as Bing-Bong, Ding-Dong, Ting-Ting, and so on.  Even our newly appointed chief of police has a doorbell name Ping .  None of these doorbell names
       exist where I come from, and hence sound unusually amusing to my untutored foreign ear.

       Someone once told me that one of the Bings, when asked why he
was called Bing, replied, "because my brother is called Bong".
Faultless logic.

       Dong, of course, is a particularly funny one for me, as where
come from "dong" is a slang word for well; perhaps "talong" is the
best Tagalog equivalent!! !

       Repeating names was another novelty to me, having never before
       encountered people with names like Len-Len, Let-Let, Mai-Mai, or
       Ning-Ning.
       The secretary I inherited on my arrival had an unusual one:
       Leck-Leck. Such names are then frequently further refined by
using the "squared" symbol, as in Len2 or Mai2. This had me very
confused for a while.

       Then there is the trend for parents to stick to a theme when naming
       their children. This can be as simple as making them all begin with
       the same letter, as in Jun, Jimmy, Janice, and Joy.

       More imaginative parents shoot for more sophisticated forms of
       assonance or rhyme, as in Biboy, Boboy, Buboy, Baboy (notice the
       names get worse the more kids there are-best to be born early or you could end up being a Baboy).


       Even better, parents can create whole families of, say, desserts
       (Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Honey Pie) or flowers (Rose, Daffodil,
       Tulip). The main advantage of such combinations is that they
look great painted across your trunk if you're a cab driver.

       That's another thing I'd never seen before coming to Manila --
taxis with the driver's kids' names on the trunk.

       Another whole eye-opening field for the foreign visitor is the
       phenomenon of the "composite" name. This includes
names like Jejomar
       (for Jesus, Joseph and Mary), and the remarkable Luzviminda (for
       Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao , believe it or not).
       That's a bit like me being called something like "Engscowani"
(for England , Scotland , Wales and
       Northern Ireland ).  Between you and me, I'm glad I'm not.

       And how could I forget to mention the fabulous concept of the
       randomly inserted letter 'h'. Quite what this device is supposed
to achieve, I have not yet figured out, but I
think it is designed to give a touch of class to an otherwise only averagely weird name.

       It results in creations like Jhun, Lhenn, Ghemma, and Jhimmy. Or
how about Jhun-Jhun (Jhun2)?

       How boring to come from a country like the UK full of people
with names like John Smith.
       How wonderful to come from a country where imagination and
exoticism rule the world of names.

       Even the towns here have weird names; my favorite is the
unbelievably named town of Sexmoan
       (ironically close to Olongapo and Angeles).  Where else in the
world could that really be true?

       Where else in the world could the head of the Church really be
called Cardinal Sin?

       Where else but the Philippines !

       Note: Philippines has a senator named Joker, and it is his legal
       name

QuoteLYNWOOD, California (AP) -- Paris Hilton has reported to a Los Angeles County jail to begin a three-week stay for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The 26-year-old heiress was booked late Sunday into the Century Regional Detention Facility in an industrial area about five miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, according to the sheriff's inmate locator Web site.

Though a judge sentenced her to 45 days behind bars, Hilton was expected to serve only 23 days because of a state law that requires shorter sentences for good behavior. (Watch how playtime for Paris is over )

Earlier Sunday, Hilton attended the MTV Movie Awards, where she briefly spoke to reporters about her sentence.

"I am trying to be strong right now," Hilton said. "I'm really scared but I'm ready to face my sentence."

The 13-year-old jail has been an all-female facility since March 2006. The two-story concrete building sits in an industrial neighborhood, beside train tracks and beneath a bustling freeway.

Hilton will be housed in the facility's "special needs" unit.

Officers arrested Hilton in Hollywood on September 7. In January, she pleaded no contest to the reckless-driving charge and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines. (Watch Hilton show her darker side )

She was pulled over by California Highway Patrol on January 15. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended license, and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive.

She then was pulled over by sheriff's deputies on February 27, at which time she was charged with violating her probation.

This story does not happen abroad but in our own beloved country... I just want to look back my past experience as a child or as a teenager that i considered unforgetable 

When I was in 4th yr high school, nisikat to ang singing contest nga "Anak-sugbo", 7 ka bata or teenager ang naghost, diha to permi sa plaza Independencia every sunday. I wrote them a letter once and they replied with pic(I think I still have it in my parents place).  Then they told me to watched them live, I went there and of course I talked to them lol, at least I was able to experience like that in my teenage life and it only happen once and we can't make a changes for that. And as an ordinary child and person,  I kept the memories

And when I quit my job in 2001 to pursue my study. I still didn't able to finish my course due to financial problem. So i started to hunt a job again.. One company I applied was a radio station, the DYHP as a radio actress, they we're hiring, but i'm an innocent looking gal  , so I was one of the unfortunate one.

Lol its funny but its true... Does anyone have the same experience here?
