This is a money tree:

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Came back from a long day at the hospital. Then stopped by the university to receive the syllabus for the next class I will be teaching beginning on the 12th of June. I'll have some 22 students in this class. I picked up my check also. So , pretty happy today.

This lake has been drawn by Chinese artists for thousands of years. I want to visit this lake, which has influenced many hundreds of chinese emperors in the past. beautiful lake, truly. the background, the rolling hills, is so quintessentially Chinese.

he he he! i really admire the chinese culture in emphasizing good luck !

A traditional Chinese mannerism to show Humility is by forming a fist with one hand and covering it with the other hand. The fist is covered by an open palm, signifying one's yielding of hostility towards peace, a sign of humility. This is an ancient Chinese way of signifying peace, humility, and respect.

Here is an illustration:

The word "Humility" in Chinese is Qiān xùn. It is phonetically said as "Ch-e-yan, Tsoon".

Or you can say "Fu Hao Yun", which literally means "Good Luck To You!"

The word Prosperity in Chinese is "Fan Rong", it can also be written as:

The Chinese word for Good Luck is "Fu".

he he he, maayo ni sija og money tree.

Chan Chu (Chinese: 蟾蜍; pinyin: chánchú; Wadeâ€"Giles: ch'an-ch'u) means "toad" or "frog", especially the "Lucky Money Toad" (Chinese: 招财蟾蜍; pinyin: zhāocái chánchú; literally "wealth-beckoning toad") or "Three-legged Money Frog", a popular Chinese symbol for prosperity. It often depicts a bullfrog portrayed with red eyes and flared nostrils, sitting on a pile of traditional Chinese cash, with a coin in its mouth. According to Feng Shui lore, it is believed to drive away evil, protect wealth, and increase income.

By the time it happens, all of us would have already returned to the earth as carbon-based waste.

A sunken Bangka and Dauis Bridge.

My personal translation of this photo:

The eternal beauty of the island of Bohol. In the center of the picture is a sunken banka , an epitome of human invention that was used to conquer the seas, a testament to human engineering and impeccable design. Yet , despite the design, the numerous travels, the banka returns to the earth, sunken, eroding in its primordial nature as a derivative of a carbonic wood, now in one with the primordial soup that created life, the water, the sea, from whence all life in this earth came from. The presence of the clouds indicate and symbolize the destructive power of the earth, the peculiarity that defines the ecological , stratospheric and atmospheric nature of the planet. Yet there is a eternal peace, a semblance of beauty that cannot be erased despite the external forces of nature and of man-- the beauty of the Island of Bohol remains. The green trees, the plants, the conquest of the roots on some impeculiar rock edifice, signifies the triumph of Bohol over the ever-changing times and external forces. It permeates , it reverberates, it echoes the beauty of simplicity, the paramount triumph of origin over the complexities of the external. From primordial epoch to present times, Bohol stands, from past , to present, to future, Bohol is, will be, and ever shall be.

Man rises and falls, but Bohol shall always be there. A testament , a fingerprint, to the Creator God who designed all things to exist as they exist.

A view from the plane of Maribojoc river..

Bohol truly is a paradise. The island is so very green !

I find it amazing how you are focusing the green background in these pictures. Your 2nd picture is spectacular, the way you captured the sunken boat, and at the same time capturing the cumulunimbus clouds on the background ...is quite amazing.

Great Job, Nong Virgil!

i must admit tho, guapa man si Zhang Ziyi. She has very well defined Chinese beauty...

Clearly this guy likes to eat Chinese food....oldatym.

Wow! Beautiful shot! Post more palihug.

hahahaha! oldatym eh?    i can see bai hubag driving this car to pick up botoyitot from the pawdicure shop....

a few hours ago akong gibadlisan ang mga trabahante sa balay nga wa na mobalik kay naay laing gitrabaho.  from one contract to another ang style sa mga abat.  lingaw silag pangatawa sa akong mga reklamo.  ang sliding screen sa doors and windows di tuod malutsan ug lamok ug langaw, pero makalusot ang iring.  nagtulo pa ang sandayong sa cat room nga kinahanglan i-tiles ang sawog ahora mismo.  kun di sila manungha ugma, i told them, ako na ning dalan ug di na sila makaagi, hahaha!

unsa man kunoy akong buhaton?  suyakan nako ang trak de karga nga ilang sakyan o mohigda ko taliwa sa dalan, aber kun makalahos ba sila.

You are a great son dong, how lucky your parents to have you, you are thoughtful person specially to your mum.

Yeah i will show you you my plants soon.

he he, close man gud ko ni mommy, Tita Sol. Mommy's boy man gud ko.

Musta naman si baby Lygaia? How are her parents ? Do they live far away from you and your husband or duol duol ra sila?

whoa! ay, ka sexyha nang pikchura...

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits--who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 103:2-5

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress; he sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wonderful works to humankind.

Psalm 107:19-21

Do you like dried bolinao?

If one is sensitive about one's high blood pressure, you can eat this as is. Lami man gihapon.

ha ha ha ha!

i don't know the name of the noodle dish that my Lola used to cook, but she used to prepare during my youngerdays. If i could compare it to a dish that i eat regularly here , i would compare it to singapore style lomein, but lola's version didn't have curry in it. the noodles were thin, and she used a lot of mixed veggies in it, and used a lot of king mushrooms (these have a consistency of meat, n are very chewy), n some other spices she used to add in it. arang lami'a kaajo. ive been trying to find a noodle dish that tasted just like it, but a las, nothing comes close to Lola's cooking....honestly.

he he he! oy, ms. isles, my Lola Nating used to cook that all the time. She would make that, steamed egg rolls, and cantonese style noodles ! sus ka lami! our dinners in valencia was like a hybrid of cantonese n pilipino when Lola used to cook it. She made tinolang manok, tinolang isda a lot because they are my Lolo's favorite.

he he he ! tastes so darn good

I can't help but feel bad for ms. zhang because of the ill reports about her. to the point of libel naman ning ilang reporting.

He was resurrected on Sunday. He was in grave for for three days. He was crucified on Thursday.

Yes, and he was raised in Glory...and sitteth at the right hand of the Glorious Father...and His name is above every name, and at His name, every knee shall bow above the earth, in the earth and below.

very shocking news indeed. she's a good actress tho. i really liked her performance in crouching tiger hidden dragon.

you will never know what happen. US lost the Vietnam war and;. the Vietnamese doesn't have even a single warship .

True, you have a point about the Vietnam War. In regards to China, tho, the United States will not attack China first. The presence of the USN in the region is a sign of austerity and fidelity with the Philippines and a show to remind the Chinese that if the Philippines is attacked by Chinese naval vessels, then the Mutual Defense Treaty will be invoked and it will be forced to come to the aid of the Philippines. Let us hope that the stand off in the SCS won't result in military provocation.

Sometimes, God speaks to people by humbling them and teaching them a lesson. Perhaps, the Corona Family can learn from this situation a very important moral lesson....as for Mr. Renato Corona, despite his failings as a public figure, he can at least accept the fact that he failed in his public duty. In the end, its just money, and all of this will come to pass; what he does to reconcile with his family, and most importantly, hopefully he can come to peace with GOD and accept this lesson as a purification for the soul. Sometimes, being reprimanded and corrected is not a bad thing.

May God give strength to Mr. Renato Corona to live a better life now. And learn from this...and move on.

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Colossians 3:12-14

What a truly beautiful and awesome verse  !
