Ging, apila ko sa tagay ha?

Quote from: RV on October 23, 2007, 07:03:21 AM
daghang salamat sano.

there isn't.
face-to-face binughaay jud. hahha

Binughaay pay imo.  Apil bato makahilak.

How to make latik (with instructions in Bisglish or Engsaya):

Put the tuno in a large and hot kawa. Do not cover.  Bring to a boil and mix in the kamay (Central para sa kadaghanan).  Stir, aron di mo-awas sa kawa.  Continue stirring until the latik is of the desired consistency.

How to make lana (with instructions in mao gihapon):

Put the tuno in a large and hot kawa.  Bring to a boil.  Pabukala jud and stir occasionally.  Kung ma-lana na, pabugnawa sa una kay init na kaayo.

So, Daryll's still single? hehehe

  Here's one more.  Adapted from Joyce Kilmer's immortal "Tree."

Methinks that we shall never see
the face of TB's GEC.
We've had two EBs, two at best
Each with three persons who doth protest
The absence of one who could, who may
If he were present could mean jokes risque
And limericks from here to there,
And even from I know not where!
But then it seems that with great disdain
He eschews popularity and fame
So maybe, until the Big EB,
We'll bear with his anonymity.

Panelist: Prof. Merlie Alunan of The University of the Philippines-Tacloban College

One of the most maternal of mentors that an aspiring writer can have.  But she is not above walking out on you if she finds your work offensive.

Unsa kahay gi-kawt ni Ma'am Merlie? 

There are at least four Inday threads in Tubag Bohol.  However, some of the jokes in one thread are also in the other threads.  Pero lukopa lang gihapon og basa.

Mmmm...nilabug nga bakasi ug kijampao.

I thank you for the photos published...why the group is not complete?  I thought at first.....I saw Fiscal Estrera with his eyes glasses- the one setting in front.......so, this is Sir Junayag?, at behind it looks similar to the father of Sigbin as I can recognize him in younger days.  Who is who? There is no similarity with that  one Atty. Lagunay that I knew before.  Well.....is this another quiz? The intelligent looks of both  are non-interchangeable.

Maybe it's Sir Delaguna's father that you remember, Ma'am.

Quote from: lumine on October 22, 2007, 12:40:49 AM
ako lang ika-comment kay happy ko that sigbin revealed to me his identity. i'm prouder pa jud to know that he was one of my weird but intelligent students i had during my internship at then DWC-T. 

With emphasis on "weird," Ma'am?

How doth the little Bumblebee
match his rhymes so well,
I think that I shall try to see
if I can rhyme as well.
And maybe Melrose and Mari
can tell us to dispel
the annoying mystery
that surrounds this who-the-_ _ _ _.

hehehe Just a little joke here, GEC.

Persistent thoughts.  Wa ko kahibaw kung mao ba ni ang inspirasyon nga inyong gipasabot pero kung gamata pa ahong utok bisa'g katugon na ko kaayo, mapugos ko'g suwat.

Way sapayan.

Quote from: Happy on October 21, 2007, 08:26:16 PM
Wow, thanks Sigbin, asa man si kuya Jun or Sir Delaguna diha?

Puro diay mo nag-antuyohos kay mag-antuyohos man pud ka Sigbin no?

Kotub nalang mi sa paghandum niani sa imong hulagway kay dili ka man magpakita

That's Sir Jun on the left and Sir Delaguna on the right.  Yes, we have four eyes each.

Quote from: asianfairy on October 21, 2007, 08:17:30 PM
Kini si sir delaguna kaila kaha ni Handel Lagunay? Ako best friend sa una iya man kaila.
Bata pa diay kaayo si Sir Junayag no? Si Sir delaguna pod cute nga bata pa kaayo tan-awon.
Thanks again.

Ma'am Asianfairy, Sir Delaguna is Atty. Handel Lagunay.

I remember that some time ago I promised to post a schedule of town fiestas.  So, here it is.  It is not complete.  Neither do I vouch for its infallibility.  (Unfortunately, I can't go to all the fiestas there are in Bohol. )  There may be some mistakes and in case you do spot one please post accordingly so that it can be corrected.

Here's a pic of Sir Jun and Sir Delaguna during our EB at the ICM branch of Bo's Coffee, which adjourned and then reconvened at the Prawn Farm Restaurant.  Where am I?  Taking the picture.

Grazie7y, sapa is stream.   Pwede 'nuon nga naay nipa sa sapa.

Yes.

Nilubihang Awang.  I don't know how to cook it but I believe it's prepared by:mixing cooked crab meat with tuno and the meat of the coconut and then wrapping it in banana leaf and then steaming it.  There may be other ingredients.  And it's full of cholesterol.

HOW TO WRITE GOOD

Here are several very important but often forgotten rules of English:

1. Avoid alliteration. Always.

2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)

4. Employ the vernacular.

5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.

6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.

7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.

8. Contractions aren't necessary.

9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.

10. One should never generalize.

11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."

12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

13. Don't be redundant; don't more use words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.

14. Profanity sucks.

15. Be more or less specific.

16. Understatement is always best.

17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.

19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.

20. The passive voice is to be avoided.

21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.

22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.

23. Who needs rhetorical questions?

24. While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must nevertheless keep incessant surveillance against such loquacious, effusive, voluble verbosity that the calculated objective of communication becomes ensconced in obscurity.

25. In a sentence, the nouns has to match the verbs.

26. Don't use no double negatives.

27. In writing, few things are, so to speak, more infuriating, than, say, commas, at least when there are too many of them, or when they should be, say, semicolons.

28. Proofread your work, so you don't leave some out or forget to finish

29. Run-on sentences are really bad because the reader saturates and what you really should be doing is using commas and semicolons and even periods to break the sentence up into more digestible chunks.

30. To have been using excessively complex verb constructions, is to have been bopping the literary baloney.

31. A friend I spoken with recently told me he been forgetting his helper verbs.

Nganong nangayo man sila ug donation, Mr Benelynne?

Dili ba diay na funded sa gobyerno?

I am not sure of how involved the government is in the funding and the maintenance of the tarsier sanctuary in Corella but I believe it's the Philippine Tarsier Foundation that's running it.  Of course, the government is supporting it in some way but I am not current with my information as to how.

Quote from: benelynne on October 06, 2007, 01:45:31 PM
Kung mao ni ang conclusion nimo Haj, the pure Boholano may be destined for extinction as well.

Kay pilian man kaajo ang tarsier ug baje unja daghan pa ug natural and human predators, busa ang reproductive rate cannot keep with the mortality rate.

That explains why many of our Boholana fair ladies are marrying with foreigners--but for love and not for $ (as Precious claims). Daku nga reason ang pagkapilian sa mga Bol-anon nga lake.  We are choosing ourselves to extinction.

Simbaku lang!

In a way it may be creepy.  I'd just like to think that it's sacred ground, hallowed by tradition and the faith of our forefathers.  Wa hinuon ko kahibaw og naa bay wa nag-sapatos didto. It seemed quite peaceful when we went there.

Wouldn't Ruffa Guttierez have been too young to be in the Ms. World 1983?

I was sort of given a wake-up call in last Saturday's EB with Sir Jun.  It was a concern Asianfairy had expressed regarding our safety and of how personal messages are a better means of communicating the specifics of setting up a meeting.  However, anyone who wants to help can just post here so he or she will be given updates, through PM, accordingly.

Welcome, Shecks_01!  Hinaut nga sa imong pagka-TBhon malingaw ka!

In the movie "Shakespeare in Love" there's a line there that I like and I'd like to paraphrase it here. 

Love is like a sickness and its cure combined.

Ai no Koriida!!! hehehe

Seriously, this is a question I do not have the answer to.   There are so many that I like.  In fact, I have a kind of book-list of them.

As of the writing of this post, the number is 897.

Go, go Tubag Bohol!

Way sapayan, grazie7y.  And welcome to Tubag Bohol!

It's what you add to make the tuba red.  And also to ferment it.  It's taken from a certain species of mangrove tree, which is why we call the mangrove forest "Katunggan."

Tuba nga bag-o.  Pwede gani'g wa pa butangi og tungog.   And I shall spend the rest of the day nga nahapla sa lantay sa among silingan.  Mamata na lang ko nga ning-taok na ang manok.

Quote from: C2H4 on October 13, 2007, 01:38:56 PM
I just got this e-mail from a friend (who loves her margarita), and I thought it quite funny...

As Ben Franklin said: 

In wine there is wisdom,in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.
                       
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.  In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.                                   

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine &beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
               
Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health
                     
        Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of ****.
                       
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.

I shall remember to use this.  This is the perfect argument in favor of drinking.

Unfaithful action; having sexual relations with another person while in a relationship.

No.

Quote from: Ginger on October 12, 2007, 08:50:14 PM
Why it's called Lamanok?

Ging, I only have conjectures as answers for now.  It may be a portmanteau of the Spanish word "la" and the Visayan word "manok."  It is probable that chickens were associated with the island since it could have been the customary offering to the anitos.  However, "Lamanok" may also have been a proper name in the past.  I have to stress that it is customarily spelled "Lamanoc."  It is only out of personal preference that I use "k" for "c".

Sure, Ging.

Let's make it definite, the next meeting/EB will be at 6:30 p.m. at the Bo's Coffiee at ICM.

By style, do you mean I have to play it myself?  Then my answer is, "Acoustic."

A very romantic reminiscence, Sir.

Congratulations, on the anniversary!

I'm more of a people-pleaser.   Ayaw lang ko paka-suk-a.

Ok, then.  I will clean up my inbox.

Welcome back, Lumine!  We missed you!

I know some but not all of them.

Quote from: Ginger on October 12, 2007, 04:56:24 PM
Puno kaayo iyang inbox. Dili ko ka send ug PM.

As I've noticed, we can only keep 2-3 messages in our inbox to be able to receive PM's.

2-3?  Are you sure about this, Ging?

Sir Sigbin, how is Ma'am Nene related to the Borjas of Iligan, or nilang Cesar or Caste Borja?

I'll have to ask.

Quote from: Lorenzo on October 11, 2007, 11:48:30 PM
Mr. Sigbin,

So i hear you are an ardent chess player, sir?

Not really that ardent.  I know the game a little but have never aggressively played it.  (My father would be ashamed.)  Just the occasional friendly match-up with neighbors or friends every now and then.

It's an island.  And the name of a cave in the island that, to this day, is still being visited by many a tambalan.

Guilty also.    But I don't want to erase Ging's messages.

Na-unsa diay ang inbox ni Bambi, Ging?

Got it here: http://www.dinscafe.com/.

Quote from: Bambi on October 12, 2007, 05:32:03 AM

According to previous infos, "River cruise" sa ato is not really a hit like in Loboc (that was El Mundo's report). Asa man pod padulong ang trip and for how long ?
Are you working abroad Teng? Asa god ka asa?

I hope....i will get enough time to visit Inabanga this coming vacation although we have already too many appointments, want to be at our Church, the last time that was January l984- dugay na tawon when my Lola (mother's side died)

It's a matter of time, building public awareness, and creating the facilities and marketing network to promote it.  Also, no one can expect it to immediately match the scale of the tourism that the Loboc River Cruise is generating.  The latter was not an overnight success.  It took years for it to become what it is now.

I just hope none of the posts here over which we have respective intellectual property rights will not be plagiarized.  'Labina ang mga balak ug mga sugilanon.

Ok, the latest re our venue and meeting time, as proposed by Sir Delaguna, is Bo's Coffee at ICM in the early evening.  How's 6:30 p.m.?  Will you be available at this time, Sir Jun?

I miss Si, too.
Where are they now?

<a href="http://www.dinscafe.com/" target="_blank">

Use</a>

We can work that out, sir. 

Time:  How about late Saturday afternoon or early evening?
About the venue:  Brewpoint?  ICM?  Acacia de Bubu?  Any other suggestions?  Gerry's Grill (kung mang-libre si Sir Jun. hehehe )?

Here are some images from the Kabilin sa Banay II Exhibit, which featured the works and artistry of the descendants of Ramon Borja, foremost of whom is Ma'am Nene Lungay.

Okay ra man ko nga magpala og snow, Ging.

Naunsa na man ning avatar ni Dodong Lorenzo ug Inday Jaja?  Mata ni Lorenzo ug pahiyom ni Jaja?  Unsa kahay nawong sa ilang anak kung magkadayon sila pohon?

Everyone, sorry about that.
Nalipat ko sa thread.

And I miss Queen, too.  Although she may just be doing further practical research in line with her PhD in Lurking.

Congrats, Willmerit!  Hinay-hinay na pud ta ani aron mahimong Devoted Bol-anon.

I'm no expert, but Black is not yet in check.  However, if he's reckless, he can be checkmated in seven moves.  (Or is it five?  I'm not really sure.)  But this game could still be a stalemate unless the pawn gets promoted to at least a rook, which might mean sacrificing the knight.    Maybe Benelynne and 'gaw Gervistill can offer us their insight into this?

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.

Are they sure it's the right size?

Get well soon, Ging.

Thanks, Ma'am C2H4.

(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.

Congrats on becoming a hero, Asianfairy!

Welcome to TB, jade!  Ubani kami sa kabibo.
