February was cool
But April is hot
So let's drink some coffee
And dunk in some nuts

Hello, Tubag Bohol!
Just dropping by
To say, "Hi!"
"Hello, See yah later"
But never goodbye.

Spread the sunshine!

HELLOOOO, TUBAG BOHOLLLL!!!

A little more than a month since Hubag posted that sentimental message above, something drew me to visit Tubag Bohol after catching up on "Here's comes Diablo".

I've been away for a long, long time
I've been gone to a far far place
I hope to see the same, same clime
and spend new time in this old, old space

Kon magsige'g a-GEC-GEC
Magka HUBAG-HUBAG

Spread the sunshine!

Tablet, capsule or injectable?
Or in powder for the poodle?

Such fluffy dog is huggable
Bath it daily or it's smellable

I enjoy reading this post
As I sip my hot roast

Dogs are enjoyable
But sadly they make me sneezable

Yet there's hope with the Wheaton Terrier
If only I know to get it where

i really miss u,poetic GEC!

Mishu, too, Lumine. So, is Baby June coming?

First it was Baby Matt (who is now Big Brod Matt), then Baby May. And after Baby June, there's gonna be Baby July, then Baby August

Drink water to cool your head

Hot temper flames

Benelynne, the most articulate and profound.
I regret when you came I was not around.
The news of your coming did not make a sound.
But the story of your visit has shaken the ground.

When Benelynne comes to a place,
He makes it better for the human race.
And when GEC is still without a face,
Thatm, too, is good for the human race

Two years ago I have abandoned all hope
to become TuBo's top poster

I can't stay awake until I hear the rooster

I just want to spread the sunshine!

What is Youtube, anyway?

(Now that's ignorance)

That's the sword of the father of Conan the Barbarian 

Really!

The best Tubag Bohol nameplate ever for me was still that one where there were four (or five) smiling ladies.

But that was years ago....

                                      a memory from a distant, distant past....

Great story!

Hmm... I remember one such little tease
Who told me softly, "Botoy, if you please,
Come hither running as fast as you can
And touch me so that you become a man."

Makahubag man ni 

So British humor! I like! 

I like that: Lorenzo from the Philippines

Sounds so historic like: Lorenzo de las Islas Filipinas

So unnatural this bra is
Making some women ill at ease
They like their nipple to protrude
To give the boys a little tease

He he. Btw, gi-update na ba ni De Quiros ang ijang nawong?

No. And I read some time ago
in one of his columns, where he talked
about how people commented on his
picture, that he may not consider
changing it in the near or far future...

When you write bravely
You can face anything

Even the face that
stare back at you 

There's money
from the cradle to the grave
from insemination to cremation

If before we have "Bite the bullet," now
we have "Sneeze the bullet"

Hi, Lumine, Kumusta?

I'm sure Baby Matt is no longer a baby...
He's already an elder brother to your new Baby May or Baby June

Cheers!

Tubig gone

On the title of the poem,
I remember this part of the song "Mona Liza":

He just laid there (beside her)
And his died there (beside her's)

When you're happy to be angry clap your hands (clap, clap, clap)
When you're happy to be angry clap your hands (clap, clap, clap)
When you're happy to be angry you don't have to say you're sorry
You'll die early and that will end your life's story (clap, clap, clap)

Horray!   

So, Mike. Are you trying to be a philosopher?

Or... perhaps, since I've been away too long
I haven't heard that you already sang the song
With that lovely lady, so sweet and comely
I long to see the day you decided to be happy 

When armpits hair start growing that fast and
that long naturally (as the photo shows),
don't you thing something is balding somewhere?


                                          down there?   

The urge to put on beauty products
on your face is already inTOXICating

Being in the height of ecstacy is like losing your head

We can still make TuBo bigger than ever.
Let's INVEST in Mike Ligalig.

I expect he'll give me my share of dividend
by inviting me to his long overdue wedding

Hmmm.... interesting discussion...



Now Bohol is going to have a Governor who is a lawyer (again)
and a Vice Governor who is a doctor (the current one is also a lawyer)

Congratulations, Mike, on TuBo's 3rd anniversary!

Mike, your face in your avatar hasn't changed a bit since you uploaded it 3 years ago.

Lorenzo, mi amigo! Now you're avatar shows how, from you're boyish looks, you have matured with gracious dignity.

Mike, I'm feeling a little nostalgic as I'm reminded of "them" whose names must be mentioned in TuBo

Gotcha, Mike!

MsDbnz,

The last time I saw your avatar you were holding a camera that was not that big. Now, just look at the size of those lens. So HUGE! I wonder what you'll be holding the next time I come around?

Will you be hugging one of those gigantic astronomical telescopes...
gazing far into the stars... deep into space...?

 

It may take a while before the dust settles down
I just drop by to say hi while I'm passing town

I miss the stillness of the early morn
I miss the the answers with no hint of scorn

I'll be back again, peeps...

Got to spread the sunshine   

When you are in prison
With nothing else to do
You might want to do something
To control your libido   

This validates what many of us observed all along

Great to be back
Work is pulling my slack
I've got to earn my buck

Welcome to all the new folks around
Welcome to myself, hey, look what you've found!

TuBo's doing great and that's good to hear
I may be out for some time but I'm always coming back, I swear 

(New update after 2 years)

I have so much to share
But too little time to spare
So much to say
But (work) life gets in the way

I may never be able to keep up
I fear I will just clam up
The moon has risen above the hidden sun
For those who care to listen, the day has just begun

(Note: This has become a work in progress. I'm replacing "For those who listen" to "For those who care to listen". I would be coming back to this page every now and then)

Arang gajung tinoora, MsDaBinz.

Bisan matulog, arang gwapaha.
Lami idulog, aron hinanok   

Some schools are starting to teach the Sugbuanon Binisaya language as a formal lesson.

To counter the derogatory connotation of the word "Bisaya" is a matter of branding. Positive branding. I'm thinking like:

Bisaya is beautiful
Lami ang Bisaya
Make love to a Bisaya today 

I haven't read the lies but...


They who did you ill
Suffer the same fate will

Those who did you wrong
Will see you're far too strong

For me,

The longer it takes
The more pressure it makes

Pressure on the male to satisfy the female
Unless all the make thinks of is himself and his selfish pleasure

Well, what do we know... give them a hand? 

All the things one can do for love, er, lust 

When I will establish a school, this will be my ad:

Enrollment going on!
Work after graduation guaranteed
School get's 5% of your salary as commission - guaranteed

Ms Da Binz,

Anyone can be GEC
Everyone is GEC
You are GEC

GEC is not one
GEC is everyone
GEC just wants fun

Spread the sunshine of the sun

Thanks for the offer Benny. Someday soon in less than a year I'll be having a freer time

Someday soon...

Sa tawo ra man tingali ning quickie.  Studies have established that males can come after 2 minutes of penetration. Also, humans have relatively short orgasms--male orgasms usually last 3-5 seconds, female, 5-8 seconds. On the other hand, pigs have orgasms that normally last for 30 MINUTES.

So kon naay moingon nimo nga baboy ka, take it as a compliment!

So that's why Katrina said, "Binababoy n'ya ako" ?

The title is misleading. I thought there's supposed to be a swimsuit coimpetition part but the contestants aren't wearing bikinis. 

Very enjoyable! The most exciting part for me was the giant robot scene. More sequels will follow as the movies ending suggested.

But of all the episodes, Terminator II: Judgment Day tops them all. I got goosebumps since that scene Arnie was lowered into the pool of molten steel until i woke up for breakfast the following morning. 

No, no, no! I'm not who you think.

I'm not Balong 

Balong can't stay away from TuBo for long. I think he's using another username as he has done before.

Gee, I can't imagine it took me this long to write my 1,900th post.

To all the GEC's out there, Happy Posting!

May you all stay awake longer to post another 2,000 in half the time I reached this mark

which you can compensate by waking up early (so early log in to TuBo, our favorite forum site) 

Looking Back
Why Rizal’s house turned green

By Ambeth Ocampo
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 01:19:00 06/03/2009

Filed Under: history, Heroism, People, Places, Monuments & Heritage Sites

There is a brewing controversy in Calamba these days, and fortunately it has nothing to do with sex videos or corruption in government. Residents of this sleepy but traffic-prone Laguna town woke up one morning to see the Rizal Shrine painted a light shade of green. Generations used to the old, dirty gray color, or older folks who imagine all bahay na bato to be white reacted negatively. Within days a text brigade began, and some of the irate texts were forwarded to me.

Cultural Center of the Philippines president Emily Abrera and photographer Dulzzi Gutierrez sent me one text from potter Tessy Pettyjohn which began, “Some idiot has painted Rizal’s house green!”

I owned up to the deed and texted, “Hi Tessy, this is Ambeth, the idiot who painted Rizal’s house green.”

Pettyjohn may not have been convinced by my reasons but at least she listened.

Then a descendant of Rizal was brought into the fray. Barbara Gonzales, who is descended from Rizal’s sister Maria, was appalled by the color but was objective enough to print in her column the reason for the color change.

In many columns and lectures, I have always pointed out that Filipinos go through life seeing things but rarely noticing them. Rizal is a fine example: He is everywhereâ€"on the one-peso coin, Rizal monuments gaze at all public schools, municipios, and capitolios all over the archipelagoâ€"but have we read his works? Do we know him at all?

Rizal’s house in Calamba is not just the place of his birth and early life, it should open our eyes to the agrarian roots of social unrest in the country. While our lawmakers debate the pros and cons of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, while farmers march to Congress to push for the implementation of CARP, we should remember that one of the seeds of Rizal’s heroism was that his family was evicted not just from Calamba but from Laguna. Contrary to popular belief, the Rizals did not own land; they were tenants of the Dominican hacienda. They refused to pay increased rent, went to court and lost.

In our imagination, we see Guardia Civil driving them away like the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) does to squatters. Contrary to popular belief, the Rizal house was not burned and razed to the ground. They took what they could and used the materials to build a new home and life in Manila.

The eviction of the Rizal family made Rizal speak out as forcefully and directly in “El filibusterismo.”

Rizal’s house in Calamba is not just a tourist spot, it is a place that should inform, educate and inspire. It should open our eyes to new ways of seeing.

Most negative reactions are understandable. “It should be painted the way Rizal saw it, the way history unfolded it.” For most people, Rizal’s house should be white and to paint it another color would be like, “dressing a 90-year-old woman in a tube and miniskirt.”

Only the Rizalistas were open enough to change and took the new green color to mean that Rizal was an environmentalist.

Let’s go into some history. Contrary to popular belief, the present Rizal Shrine is not the original home of the National Hero. It is not covered by the same rigid conservation principles applied to a 19th century house. The present Rizal Shrine is but half a century old, having been reconstructed by Juan Nakpil in the 1950s and funded by donations from schoolchildren. Nakpil based the reconstruction on a faded photograph of the house, and what was left of the original foundation found on the empty lot. The interiors are divided based on floor plans of existing colonial-period houses. The interior is bare because some descendants of Rizal refuse to loan pieces of furniture to the Calamba Shrine and insist that these should stay in Fort Santiago.

Contrary to popular belief not all bahay-na-bato were white. Based on archival research, Martin Tinio, formerly of the Intramuros Administration, suggests that houses had color in Spanish times, but were limited to available paint colors: blue, yellow, red and green. However, during the cholera epidemics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most bahay-na-bato were whitewashed with kalburo or lime in the belief that this was a disinfectant that would repel the plague. Hence, old houses in living memory are white.

Finally, the reason for painting Rizal’s house green highlights and informs visitors of the meaning of his surname. Following the 1849 Claveria decree giving surnames to Filipinos for tax and census purposes, the Rizals who were also known by their other surname Mercado (market) chose “Risal” from the “Catalogo alfabetico de apellidos.” The word comes from the Spanish “ricial” which describes a green field ready for harvest. It was hoped that after asking, “Why is Rizal’s house green?” the visitor will get a relevant answer: the green hues are meant to honor the memory of the Rizal family and their way of life.

My only regret is that despite our repeated instructions to find a green the color of palay or ripe rice stalk, the NHI historical preservation division didn’t take the initiative to have paint mixed specially for the Rizal Shrine and depended on the offensive, commercially available green paint. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the educational purpose of the new coat of paint far outweighs personal preferences.
