What's wrong with being Bol-anon? Nothing, unless of course eating bahaw and loving tolingan qualify as petty crimes.

We are pleased to announce the presence of one of Bohol's young brilliant lawyers, now a Tubag Bohol contributor.

I still need his permission if he wants his true name to be revealed here.

Attorney, salamat sa imong pagpakabana alang sa Bohol.

Padayon ta.

All for the love of Bohol!


P.S. Where is Chin? It's her turn now.

Wait a minute. Who do I welcome? A person named Attorney or someone who's an attorney? You are making me even more muddled, Mike. Not good. I've limited brain power as it is.

Anyway, lawyer guy, welcome. You will come in handy, for free legal advice on just about anything - from the legality of auctioning one's uterus to the ethical issues involved in offering free bahalina to strangers.

I'm moved. Once more, you bring tears to my eyes, Mike. I have never been top anything before.

It's possible that on the night of their wedding the man did not notice whether or not he has broken the woman's hymen because of any of these reasons:

1. She broke her hymen while filming Pinakamagandand Hayop sa Balat ng Lupa
2. He already did it weeks before the wedding
3. Somebody else did it
4. She was born without it

Oh, but perhaps Ruffa's hymen is elastic. It stretches, gets dented, snaps a little, and then returns to its original form. Ye of little faith, if rubber band can be elastic, why not Ruffa's hymen?

This is strange. Learning English is now a requisite for life? So, aside from water, oxygen, and sunlight, English is needed for civilizations to rise, planets to form, and amoebas to flourish?

Ah yes, these are strange times we live in.

Hi Chin !!

I really miss your avatar ...... Com'n, being shy is not in your vocs !

Hi cap, the avatar's interesting, of course, but trust me, the person is more. Hahaha.

Vader,

I read somewhere here you are offering one of your kidneys as a welcome token...
I find this very spiritual
Kidneys function to clean our blood
A hug from you will be a purifying experience
Your bahalina will perk up the senses... virtually

I was too generous last week, I'm afraid. My kidney's market value has skyrocketed. It is no longer for free.  But you're right. Any experience that involves blood is bound to bring tears to your eyes and change your life profoundly. Good to have you here. I missed the part where you breached the wall.. er, Mike's walls. hahaha

I missed the coming and going of lotsa newbies, it seems. Anyway, to all those who just joined, here's a keg of virtual bahalina. Get your mugs; get your glasses. We're going drinking. The first person who passes out gets to be part of the welcoming committee.   

Miga na ta ha? Hahaha. This day's work isn't bad. I met you. It's 3:34 AM right now; I really have to call it a day else I wouldn't be able to stand without my knees buckling hours later. See you, Maricel and Mike! I'll be back one of these days. Di na threat. Hahaha

Haha, pasaylua ko mam. My mind is remarkable in that it lacks a board of censors. Hahaha. I write down the first thing that comes to mind. Walay editay. I talk the same way pud. But I don't bite, promise.

Why does it always take people 40 days to finish something? In Noah's case, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Moses stayed in Mt. Sinai for 40 days. Jesus suffered in the desert for 40 days, too.

I rest my case.

Sadly, the campaign to turn Bohol into a premiere destination spot worked only too well. The whites came - in shiploads and planeloads. Now, resorts have become too expensive for locals. Tourism has driven prices up. We now have the terrible problem of being ill-able to afford the very places we used to stroll into, for free!

I read the Brothers Karamazov for 40 days. Then I wept. 

Your tears come too easily, boy. Soon, son, I will show you how to be as sturdy and hardy as Cossacks who have seen forty winters.

Try daw basa ni Toni Morrison. Paets. Murag lahi ang gilagputan ani na talk. Murag reading recommendation naman ni.

Chin, Maricel said makahadlok daw ka.

Makahadlok diay ning mga gwapa no? 

Maricel diay iyang ngan. I was scratching my head, thinking of a buddy-buddy way to say "hi mfrandsen!" Hahaha.

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on June 04, 2007, 03:12:27 AM
Chin, si Maricel mahadlok nimo. 

She is the only one. Haha. I'm really such a harmless, sweet little person. Just you wait and see.

Sakto na ang traynta minutos - unless the meeting is more interesting than Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.

here's the picture of one of my favorite authors - i could endure a meeting until five in the morning if he's the speaker or guest.

Aha! So now my impressions of you aren't really that far off the mark. Geek! Bookworm! (I could go on with this name-calling, but you haven't even answered that earlier advice I gave - that you go out and watch leaves change color. hahaha) The HSS library introduced him to me, through Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. I learned of his Notes much later, while writing for the student publication during college.

Chin, can you ask Roseth to verify this report? 

Yes, panginoong maylupa. 

Okay, go on. Organize. You were born with that mission hotwired into your genetic blueprint. So, go, organize. I will sit here and grin. =)

I have always maintained that unless the agenda is taking over the whole length and breadth of Asia, no meeting should take more than an hour.

Smart move, posting a source. I was chortling while I read. The source, however, ensures I'll keep my silence. There's no fun arguing with thebachelorguy.com.

Chin, we have a new member named Bulan. What will you do now? 

Oh, but hero member, you are late. I've welcomed him. He has thanked me for the welcome, in fact. Instead of garlands, I offered to give him a necklace with my cornea or my kidney as the pendant. Check your inbox. I cc'd you. I always cc you in my welcomes, in case I slip and tell them the site owner has promised them a parcel of land in exchange for active posting. Hahaha.

Lesson: Ayaw pagdali kung mopalit ka ug butang unless peso ra ang kantidad. But I'm a man - ang mga babaye ray dugay kaayo mopalit kay magsige ug pili-pili. 

And that, I hope, is a lesson that stung and is well-learned. Shopping the way women do is a virtue.

To those who can't tell, thisgirlvader is a woman. Odds are, her charms are just as fatal. Would-be worshippers, you may now fall in line. 

Seriously, I loved this story when it broke out. It rekindled my faith in the Filipino as an intelligent voter.

Ah, jetsetter! You've made next-door neighbors of Bohol and Thailand. Did the pork barrel fund your travel? Well, it should! 

The box should read: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to brush their teeth with cheap toothpaste.

Yes, it should, so lady Liberty doesn't have monopoly on those lines. As a general principle, monopoly is never good.

"Love is not just a sentiment. Love is a great controlling passion and it always expresses itself in terms of obedience." - Martyn Lloyd-Jones

I disagree - vehemently and crisply! Love can express itself through disobedience, too. In fact, when you think about it, it'll hurt more for you to disobey the person you love. This, of course, is supposing disobedience is also motivated by love.

Oh, but you don't need scientific proof for this. Men and women think differently. They must because men use heads that women do not have.

My own formula for a successful quarrel.....

Don't interrupt while one party is delivering her/his piece. As they say "don't fight fire with something combustible"

My own formula for a successful quarrel: matira ang matibay! [insert truly evil laughing here]

"Magsisimba kang may bulak sa ilong!"

Lemme guess. They require pretty freshmen to take up at least six units of "How to Kick Some Serious Beauty Queen Ass." 

Dear Leo, you are such a beautiful person I don't even hate you for not giving me a heads-up each time you visit Cebu.

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on June 04, 2007, 02:02:52 AM
By the way, do you know that some rich and famous in our countries own an islet in Bohol (total Bohol islets: 111)? Hint: ask the former lady mayor of Zamboanga City.

This is what's infuriating about you. You know too much; it's not healthy. Go out and do something frivolous. Watch leaves change color. Egg worms to crawl just the teensiest bit faster. This is my roundabout way of saying, "Mike, I don't know that woman." Hahaha.

P.S Your GPS is quite accurate. Sadly, however, I don't own this islet. Not yet, anyway. =)

Few professions are as fulfilling as teaching. Imagine how wonderful it would be to teach and not have to worry about leaking roofs or sending your kids to a good school. It's sad. We pay hookers more than we do educators. What a pity Bol-anons have to go to Thailand to pursue the joys of teaching.

Oh, and just so you know, I make it a point to use as little of my mind as possible. Posting a comment as serious as that gave me a nosebleed.

1 U.S. Dollar      = P46.080
1 Euro                 =  P61.952
1 Canadian Dollar = P43.455
1 Australian Dollar = P38.373

Note: The American dollar is loosing value at the world financial market. Compare Canadian and American dollars. Canada's currency is about to overtake the envied U.S. dollar.

I feel ambivalent about the American dollar's plummeting value. On the one hand, it's good for our economy. On the other, it's potentially disastrous for industries built on the back of cheap labor. In Cebu alone, most of the young and the intelligent go to call centers. These call centers are funded by American dollars. When the dollar's value slides, imagine what that would do to these businesses' operating costs.

So yeah, as with most things, the decreasing value of the American dollar is both a boon and a bane.

Chin,

We have a newbie: maryhazel_olaa. What will you do now?

a. Naturally, offer her free use of one of my kidneys. "Hello, we're so happy you followed mike's trail of breadcrumbs here. Can I offer you one of my kidneys? You don't have to decide now. You can consider it while you find your way around Tubag Bohol."

b. Threaten her into active participation. "If you don't post at least thrice a day, I shall google you, find out where you live, and tell your parents you went to my clinic for a sex change."

c. Grin, and let Mike do the welcoming. At 1:39 in the morning, this option seems to be the most appetizing.

I'd like to recommend www.indeed.com, one of the best job search engines I found so far.
Thousands of jobs are posted daily.

Or you may also try www.jobstreet.com.ph
Many of the jobs posted in jobstreet are related with the call center industry.

You will have to gut me or debone me first before you can force me to take the call center route. I have the highest respect for call center agents, and the deepest contempt for the call center industry in particular. This opinion, I know, will ruffle many feathers, but I never lie. At least, I try not to. 

What? Only PhP18,000 for the task of being Mr. Cajes' wife? I demand side benefits, in the form of monthly shopping expeditions to Thailand and my own Lear jet.

I'm worth every penny and trip, mind you.

The funny things will take place in Tubag Bohol the moment you begin welcoming newbies.

I'm sure they would bid for your uterus.

I will exercise utmost impartiality, of course, and award it to the highest bidder. Hahaha.

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on June 04, 2007, 01:02:40 AM
Hello Chin,

That would be great!

From now on, ikaw nay tigsab-ong sa garland sa mga newbies. Please, don't offer your uterus.

You are cruel. You are robbing me of interesting body parts to offer. I'm sure my kidneys won't be as eagerly received as my uterus. Still, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. 

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on June 04, 2007, 01:07:22 AM
After reading Chin's brief discourse on this topic, I became speechless.

You are brilliant, Chin! 

Why, thank you, Mike. I've known that since birth. Haha. Seriously, why am I a newbie while you're a hero member? Can't I be demi-goddess or diwata or something like that? 

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on April 30, 2007, 01:17:40 PM
I'd like to personally welcome Mr. Leo Udtohan as our latest Tubag Bohol member. I know that Leo would make a difference to our site. I have known Leo for many years, and his touch of friendship has always been lingering.

Leo has established a plethora of connections in Manila media such as GMA7, Inquirer, Philippine Star - and with his connections he had helped put Bohol in the map of global tourism.

Leo, hope to see you here everyday!

God bless,
www.mikeligalig.com

Mike, judging from the lack of reply, I'd say it's either

a. Leo hasn't read this warm welcome.
b. Leo defines "every day" as a day that comes twice a year.

Tell me the next time you need help welcoming newbies. I'll join you, with my rusty, dusty, trusty trombone in tow. =)

So, there's no need for a high-tech waste management system for this?

None at all! That's why it's a highly marketable commodity.

Incidentally, you shouldn't encourage me to go on with topics like this. It's not like I need further motivation. Hahaha

Lively, yes, that's a distinct possibility. Or, it could simply be scary. hahaha

English is the language of big business. It is not the language of the soul. When we teach our kids English, we teach them how to make a living. When we make them hone their use of the vernacular, we're teaching them how to remember home.

Hi Mike, funny is not even part of the plan. Not yet, anyway. I'm just peering at threads, to see if there's anything of interest. You've been busy. I admire your stamina, being able to run a site like this on top of taking pictures of the Ranaras and whatever it is you do daily. =)

She's a hottie, and he's a hunk. Yes, now the curriculum vitae is complete. 

Why, yes, I'll be sure to give you a ring when we drop by Thailand come July. What's more, if Rose doesn't make a lunge for my phone, I will keep your phone ringing all day long. Haha. Kidding. Thanks for being kind to Bol-anons, the strange and the familiar alike. 

It's hypoallergenic, and it can be recycled.

My multiple personalities and I used to prowl Ma. Clara, looking for people to mug or beat up. Now, we just sit back and visit websites like Tubag Bohol so we can reminisce about the good 'ol days.

Hi lovely people! My name is Chin. I'm 24, and yes, I still think they no longer grow people these days like they do in Bohol. 

Mr. admin, you've forbidden me to sell my soul. So tell me, can I sell my uterus here? Hahaha. I think this is a nifty idea, by the way (this tubag bohol thing, not the scheme to sell one's uterus). =)

Money can't buy bad taste. You have to be born with it.

What should I bring with me if my goal is to join Thailand's flesh trade?
