Maybe $3,000. Wow, what you got?

“War does not determine who is right, only who is left“. And also what is left. Abandoned war installations, military bases above or under the ground, old hospitals can be considered the perfect eyeglass for the not necessarily sad past, but for an interesting and captivating world - fighting techniques, war medical practices, use of buildings, weapons. (Bertrand Russell)

Hahahahha Father, berde kaayo na.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I agree. Which reminds me of Pascal (in this my favorite English translation): "The heart
has its reasons which reason does not know."

And very hard to understand at times, but in the long run, you will realize its implications to your life.

I love you not because you have
..a pretty face
...a nice body
...a smart mind
I love you because you are the only one that can make me laugh, the only one that understand my imperfection, the only one that is always there for me.
And all the physical beauty are just bonuses...

I was not really scared when I got the job, in 1990 at my age the pay is a fortune to me plus the benefits. I thought I really hit a jackpot, thought the war was like the ones we have in Cotabato, a "hit and run" style which I am used to. But when the insurance policy arrived, believe me, I was tempted to run back home.

I would like to share this one, it is an old post published on 10/9/09 at buzzle.com. The poem was written in 1990 when I was in Cambodia; I was using the Wordstar processor in a 3.5 floppy disk (the commands made me crazy at times). It is really a trip down memory lane.

Tinuod ni, oi...

The silkworm (Bombyx mori, literally 'raw silk of mulberry') is a moth larva that, as the producer of silk thread, has been very important to China's economy throughout history. Native to northern China, a silkworm's diet consists solely of mulberry leaves. They are usually deep-fried and have a distinctive, yet difficult to describe odour and an after-taste similar to wet, decomposing leaves. The outer shell is tough and should not be eaten.

You can't beat the low-fat content and nutritional value of a silk worm. Silkworms are a high source of calcium, protein, iron, magnesium, sodium and Vitamins B1, B2, and B3. Silkworm frass (the excrement of insect larvae) is also used as a medicine for diarrhoea. Silkworms are good for children who suffer from malnutrition and as a supplement for pregnant women. Its oil is said to be good for reducing fatty acids and cholesterol. Basically a nutritious, low fat alternative to scorpions and mealworms!

Kasgaran man god ilaron ang mga turista sa mga Pinoy. Sa Las Vegas dili ka mahadlok mosakay og taksi, kay naay mga camera ilang taksi naka-hook sa company.

This people are not thinking, we dont market the Philippine tourism to Pinoys/ays, but to foreigners. Who can understand "Pilipinas Kay Ganda." but we Filipinos.

No wonder despite of the breathetaking natural things we own, we still cannot compete with our Asian neighbors in terms of tourism industry.

Sometimes, we need to share our pains even to strangers for lots of reasons. Sometimes, sharing makes you feel better, and somehow, people that think they are unfortunate will be ashamed because there are people that have the worst nigthmares in their lives.

THE CREATIVE BAKER PAYS TRIBUTE TO A CHAMP
New Bread - Pan de Ocho de Pacquiao - Set to Launch in California

By ROMEO P. MARQUEZ
Member, Asian American Journalists Association


TORONTO - Manny Pacquiao's winning his record eighth crown has guaranteed the immortality of the many bread products and fruit drink created in his honor in America's unofficial capital of the Philippines.

The Filipino champion may have lent his name to many products he owns or has developed but in San Diego County's National City, Pacquiao's name is affixed to special breads that businesswoman Wilma Fernandez Ventura has created to celebrate his many victories.

For example, until Ventura came up with Brazo de Pacquiao, the only brazo carries a female name, as in Brazo de Mercedes. Now, Brazo de Pacquiao is the male counterpart that also evokes masculinity and agility.

It's one of the many items that's pushing sales and fanning popularity of Ventura's The Original Richard's Bakery, a famous business landmark in National City, which is home to the largest Filipino population in the United States.

The city that borders the City of San Diego and is about 15 miles to the frontier with Mexico has a population under 100,000. About one-fifth, or 20 percent, are Filipinos or Americans of Filipino descent.

A big chunk of Filipino businesses is also based in National City, a fact recognized by everyone at City Hall.

When former President Fidel V. Ramos visited in early October, National City Mayor Ron Morrison welcomed him with these words: "Welcome to the unofficial capital of the Philippines in America".

It's not surprising, therefore, that the only bread recognition ever given to Pacquiao comes from a Filipino bakery based in National City.

In March when he won his seventh title in Texas, Ventura, also known as "The Creative Baker," invented the Siete Coronas de Pacquiao, a special bread shaped like a giant 7.

That was followed by another, Brazo de Pacquiao and still another, the Pan de Pacquiao. Earlier on in his boxing bouts that he easily won, Ventura was so inspired and moved to create a fruit combination called Pacquiao Punch.

Ventura is now poised to come up with another bread that would reflect Pacquiao's victories.

Contacted for comment in San Diego, Ventura said she has in mind "Pan de Ocho de Pacquiao" that would take the appearance of a big number 8. The bread is glazed on top to make it shiny and stuffed with reasonable amounts of Bavarian cream for that distinct taste.

Ventura has been readying this latest addition in the last weeks in anticipation of a Pacquiao win. The finished product would be marketed at $3.99 per piece starting on Monday at her bakery.

"It's incredible that Manny Pacquiao now has eight boxing titles. I am so proud of him," Ventura said in a phone interview.

The Original Richard's Bakery shot to national prominence when Ventura created the popular Obama Pan de Sal which she launched on the day Barack Obama took his oath as the 44th president of the United States in January last year.

From then on, Ventura's creative juices continued to flow. Her bakery's many bread products became the outlet for her creative streak.

The bakery has an array of Ventura's inventions, namely: the Pacquiao breads, Obama Pan de Sal, Genesis Loaf (named after Filipina movie actress Genesis, aka Patricia Javier), the Reyna Bibingka ng America (named after Imelda, Gloria and Cory).

So tired today, it is a very longgggggggggggggg dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Breakfast: tuna and toasted wheat bread

Our way of doing things is determined by the life we happen to have, by the way life happens to us, which more often than not has come about in spite of our earnest wishes and the good intentions of kith and kin. We act as we must and do what we can. As for loneliness, it's always there somewhere ahead of us, lying in ambush like the salmon sky of an indulgent twilight.

Precisely. Called it life style or whatever, but reactions to situation is by choice. "Lying in ambush like the salmon sky of an indulgent twilight.", very poetic but, I love how it described the attack of loneliness.

Hmm. Some people are born to be lonely...

I believe being lonely is a choice.

Salbahis bitaw ning mga Cebuano. Parehas ani nga joke kunohay:

Cebuano nga pulis nakakitag Bol-anon nga nag-ihap sa mga poste sa Jones: Hoy, unsay imong gibuhat diha? Gidili baya ang pag-ihap sa poste! Tug-an, pila kabuok imong naihap?
Bol-anon: Aw, kining...lima na, Nyor.
Cebuano: Na hala, bayad og kinyentos! Usa ka gatos ang multa kada poste nga giihap. Kon di ka mobayad, dad-on tikas presinto aron pasakaan og sumbong! Magtingkagol kas prisohan!
Nibayad ang Bol-anon.
Paglakaw sa pulis, perti niyang agik-ik. Niya pa sa kaugalingon: Ha ha ha, gajama-jama lang kang pulisa ka! Bugok! Ganiha ra kong buntag nag-inihap sa mga poste diri, oi, kapin nas gatos akong naihap!


Igo na pud tawon ta... 

Nia pay isa:
Ingon nila kuripot kuno ang Bol-anon kay usa ka tinap-an usa ka kawa nga tubig og kamunggay. Pero ang Cebuano, ang bulad ibitay sa bitana, ang anino mao ray subakan....Aber....

maka hinumdum pood ta sa parable of The Lowest Seat when reading your life experiences.

there is a verse in Luke 14:10 that Jesus tells us, "But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you."

In this case, Wolf, you are now being told by God to come up. Pariho rapood diay imong experiences ni prophet Job; suffering at first, but because of his faith, God poured Heaven's Graces on him...


God Bless you, Wolf.

Thank you Lorenz.

Usa ka pari taga Loon ni istorya nako a while back, true story daw ni nahitabo sa Sandingan Island, Loon. Ang bana (mangingisda) nihangyo sa iya Misis mag eng-eng anang gabhiona kay way laing lingaw sa isla. Wa mosugot si Misis kay basin ug mabuntis, kay daghan na raba kuno silag anak. Maong nag wild nuon si Mister, gipang labay mga plato ug tasang aluminum... saba kaayo!

Niingon si Misis, "Ajaw'g saba Ping kay mauwaw tas mga silingan. Nangatog na baya sila, basin momata."

Insead nga mohilom, ingon si Mister, "Aaah mauwaw diay ka ha?" Nisamot nuon pag wild si Mister... handtod nga nisugot na lang si Misis aron lang mohilom.

To makie the long story short, naka dama si Mister.

Paghuman daw sa title bout ni Pacquiao ug Margarito, pina tambo dayon sa Mister sa bintana (kanang bintana nga tukoran bitaw ug kahoy), dayon dagkot sigarilyo. (Unya ang mga tawo diay kay nag-atang pod sa gawas, naminaw sa lagubo), dayon ingon samtang nibuhot sa yosi:

"Mao ni kinabuhi, hayahay!"  

Suheto man jod kas Panggangan, 'quel... di lalim kinabuhi sa mga tawo didto no, labi na mga mangingisda nga way laing lingaw. Hehehehe  

Tinuod gyud kay mangingisda man nang akong Tatay, mao nga 7 mi buaw walo unta og wala pa namatayan og usa. Ika-duha ko, bogbog gyud og sugo tapos bantay sa bata, mao nga kada buntis Nanay nako mag-hunger strike ko kay manglaba na pod og lampin maskin 7 pa akong edad, bantay na pod og manghod. Sos, karon kasabot nako nganong mag-away sila kaniadto.

thanks for the recipe, wolfie!  yes, masabtan ra.  di sad ko mahadlok masayop kog sabot kay magka-inunsa, makaon man gihapon bisan unsay resulta, bisan ang egg roll mahimong balut roll.

Hehehehehhehehe...

mga bayut mana sila so walay problema.

I am sure you are just kidding right!

Maskin ba criminal guaranteed man nang ilang rights sa constitution. No one has the right to do that. As a rule: "They remain innocence unless proven guilty." Heck, sometimes it is nerve cracking to deal with career criminals but, law is a law.

The police has no right to humiliate a captive more to inflict pains unless it is for self defense.
