  Feil darling your wellcome any day and time for any compliment well earned belongs to you.

I am excited to partake in next Feb's, contest I think it will be allot of fun for the overall Visayans region.

I encourage all students to take advantage of joining in any groups that can enhance your talents broaden your minds and help you in character building.

Do this while your at the young at that you are. Do not let to much pass you by that you might regret later.

Do not be afraid to do things alone with others who take interests in your hobbies as well, as it will not be always that your circle of friends will always like what you like.

Life is short you do what you have to do for you and nobody else.

Do not ever forget big sister is looking after you!

I know of one police man here in the province who is probably not too much different like any others when it comes to throwing of their badge and they're uniform after duty.

I have assisted a local police man here who's daughter I am willing to help out, but when I asked him if he could help pay for a birthday gift for his first child whom he has not ever bought anything for her to begin with in his entire life.

He stop being my friend?

When he needed money to buy tires and parts for his car he could depend on me also promising to pay it back but never did.

I even let him borrow P7000.00 for his wife in Jagna who gave birth to a baby son on election day to be able to pay the baby's birthing bill.

He has four children with three different women, and he was currently separated for alomost one year from his wife but she cried the one night when he went home to bring money for the first child.
He had given in and both not using any type of method of birth control she got pregnant that night.

They can barely afford this child as it is.

Shortly after that another Tagbilaran city PNP, asked me to borrow another money, and has yet to pay me back?

Neither one of these suppose to be community law abiding guys have ever talked or tried texting me to make arrangement for payments?
No reply if I text them.

What kind of roles models do we have here if our police and our city leaders do not know how to handle their own lives with responsibility and treat persons with fairness and kindness and set good examples both on and off duty.

This is not the right kind of people for thejob they are hired for.
Should they be fighting crime when they are committing extortion themselves?

It puts a black mark on the entire police force when a few cops are not standing behind what they are enforcing others not to do.

I am hit up constantly by all kinds of politicians and city and provincial government persons to lend them money.

Stop having kids if you can not afford them do not make them an other persons responsibility.

Avoid embarrassing your community and family by extortion of others then get snippity towards the ones who do help you.

Imagine if two police are behaving like this then you know there are more out there like them.

What does this say about society here today as a whole?

I hear you about the T.V.
Even I myself watch it once in a while.
I remember my college days of working part time as well and helping in the house and hitting the hay at 0300 hrs everyday.
Then start my gym class at 7am 34 laps equivalent to two miles to begin my day with, morning class's then at lunch time I swam laps in the Olympic sized swimming pool.
In my day I was a little "Hotbod" back then.
Cheese bread is my weakness here in Bohol, and I am always baking with my girls.

The specail was good it was done with Oliver North retired U.S. Army Colonel.

Noted kyle and Lorenzo for your greetings to be published first week of December.

It would be even cooler to be able to view it on the internet in the paper, thats if Mike are lovely one could Talk our Dad Lim into having the other columns put back on the internet where it should be same as before.

I get plenty of emails coming to me asking me why is the column not on the internet.
It is in print only.
(long unfair story)

Please keep posting your greetings and again Thank You for your consideration.

Glen, your kitty picture is really well like by my two little Philippine daughters!

He he he! I was wondering is he for batteering and frying.

I was once offered dog here and did not know any better as soon as I had it almost up to my mouth my offerer gigled and said no no maybe you do not eat "DoG Meat" "KanKON"
I have never put a serving of food back to the serving bowl so fast as that in my entire life.

P.S. glen just kidding about the "puddy tat"

Orchids it is at the Mac Jack location in front of the Tagbilaran Police station close to St. Josephs Cathedral.
There also other canteens to choose from but there is also a wet bar under a roof that sells soda and beer.
I always eat at Archies.
He display his chicken in a glass case and pours hot gravy from a pitcher. Yummsville!

Okay orchids the date is on name a day and time if your ever in tagbilaran near to ICM.

I have been reading everyones blogs lately and I love what I am reading.

grazie that invitation still stands any time your in Bohol to meet up and share in thoughts and hopefully laughs together.

No I am not ever a negative person for long periods at a time.

I was not meaning to come out evil sounding in my earlier threads it was only for information due to the crisis situations.
I have never ever had intentions to make any enemies as life is to short and energy is not worth putting into making enemies.

Once you have met me you will understand and see that I am as soft as a Teddybear in my personality as well as my body...(LOL).

Anyone of you in here are always wellcome in my heart.

I was so shocked when I had noticed everyone was toinking me and mad and calling me names, those who do not know my nature in person.
I am normally the life of the party comedian girl.
I would honestly belong to the Anti Kill joy Club if there ever was one. he he he.

I slept through all of it.

My suki Mauser who lives on Rocha Street. Noted to me the top of her palm tree came tumbling down to the ground.
Most of the tree's falling were already dead and holding on with their last threads.

I'm still impressed with the hailstorm we had her a month ago here in the middle of the afternoon in Tagbilaran.
The hail was normal in size and sounded  just the same like the roof back home when we have the same kinds storms.

Emerson, Elmundo, Melrose, This is Jolli hollarin at yah all. Plse send me a text when there is an up date for the TB EB?

Also whats the news on the FCB sponsored Christmas party for all of us Bohol Tri Media Members going to held and where at?
Salamat friends.

  my taste when I arrived in Bohol 6 years ago was always Joli bee almost every day. how could you go wrong with P25.00 yumi burger, fries and coke! (It got old fast)

Now that same Yumi meal is P50.+ now a days.

I have been very fond of Chow King from my first time into the Philippines during 1997.

If any of you come here just give me buzz would be fun to take lunch or dinner at chow King!

A nice way to fix it now do not laugh anybody,   I say put the present no goods on suspension and they know who they are.

Let the Westerners come in saddled up on top of their horses and show these  ****heads how to do their job the right way or show them the way to the guillotine.

Like grandma use to have an old farm saying, and it went like this?;

"I will shoot you at sunrise, and cut and quarter you all in the same morning"

Update to my media investigation,

yesterday Chito Visarra, Kit Bagaipo, and I had a meeting to discuss further what we could do as media persons to help this ever so ugly mess.

I am ever so thank full that kit bagaipo has allowed me space anytime to update the reader community in the newspaper where he is a senior writer.

Chito has stated also an interest going on his radio show to ask questions that need to be answered.

Until now the one suspect is still working daily at the school?

The other suspect has fled the province.

The H.S. principal says it is not her job to suspend the employees.

Public School Supt.  Dr. Elpedio Jala told me it was her job, along with several other private and public principals connected to Dep Ed dept.

DanDan Bantugan city councilor in charge of the educational system told Kit Oppus it is out of his jurisdiction.

The alledged Atty's has filed for Inhibition feeling that the fiscal was biased towards the minor raped school victims.

The hearing for the next preliminary has been reset for middle of December.

I ventured over to the wings office and read books on the subject I am into on how to handle and approach persons when asking persons what are now  going on.

DSWD has not provided an attorney for the minors as they should have done already.

The Victims mother has approached the office of city Mayor Dan Neri Lim and was met at the door and denied help via Mark Monton, who is an assistant to Mayor Lim.

Mayor Lim has a book of city codes and rights of children in the schools but he id denying any proper assistance to the minor students.

I have noticed here in this country they have nice laws but none are implemented.

From my observation I also feel that the criminals have more rights then the victims in my eagle eye view.

Fiscal Cafe Uy, is now the one in handling the case and she is friends with an Atty who is not having exactly a clean slate when it comes to being a clean and honest practicing Atty. according to one particular rights office on women and children. This Atty. is the alledged rapist's legal Rep.

Monday I am marching into the office of School Supt. Dr, Jala who has been great in keeping me informed on things.

Always always welcomes me into his office and appreciates my concern for the minor victims.

Always him or his staff will invite me any time into his office.

This case is exhausting me as I had even spoke to jingoy Rama another city councilor and he was not interested in helping as a council member either.

I told them if I was a boss I would with out a doubt be firing allot of workers who are not doing their jobs in protecting the people/victims of alledged H.S. rape by employees of the school.

My head is aching at this time.
     What more should I say at this time.
The poor families of these victims need an Atty. and can not afford one.

makes some one like me with a big heart have hardend arteries towards the diplomatic attitudes I am putting up with.

For me I would like to say that I know now Ms da binsi is displaying her beautiful artwork in the Avatar I would have to say honestly that she has allot of talent to be proud about.

My next favorite was the backside of a full length naked man close to the All saints holiday! Whoohieee........ pant pant pant!

past council member Archie Sarmiento is also frying up chicken at his new mac jak canteen, it is breaded just the same and taste just the same as JB and the size is a good sized portion served with a side of home made chicken gravy for P15.00 only.

Iced soda in a 8oz bottle cost still P12.00

If i need a quick bite on a busy hectic day, I go to Archies where the price and size and taste is all good for the pocketbook.

endowment not untowardness........dizzy spell chck!

She was chosen and she was beautiful. She had long natural hair flowing down her open back and front formal evening gown.
Her blood was that of miztiza I had heard, her face was light and not to heavy in makeup, her open gown showed her natural untowardness, she was a full figured woman the kind the early artist would of picked for his model in his nude painting.
her facial profile was a perfect half faced moon shape with her long eye lashes and Filipino dainty shaped nose.
She was candidate number 6, and spoke clearly and smoothly and when answering her questions she spoke clear and graciously.
She was also my pick as well.
I will judge for the main CVIRAA next Feb, as they the school district said my outside judgement could be of a better overall decision making versus during the Tagbilaran show.

I was moved from today'scontest and reserved for the original show and contest for February.
The school district and regional office also thanked me in my kind and pleasant understanding at the last minute.

After the competition Feil was running out the door for another meeting. Feil is very valuable and sweet and a very smart and diligent person for the people here in Tagbilaran City.

Tagbilaran is lucky to have Feil working with them and representing the people whom her heart is close to here in Bohol.

Lumine you will love the taste of the spicy and beefy beef wonton soup my most ultimate favorite chow king soup.

Also the Buchi Lotus creme is slurpy delicious as well.

Another like is Asado Siopao.

Nestlea Ice tea is still a hit here in the Philippine corporation food chain.

they should invest in a system that impounds all stray dogs as there are many. A true loved pet would be immunized against all diseases and have a collar around his neck showing his dog tag Id of who he belongs to and what has he been immunized for.

There are dogs that hang near to my house here near dampas always who do not belong to anyone but just living large on the garbage bags strewn onto the streets.

Even I am hadlok to walk past them late at night they are always following me and growling and having their heads down low ewwwww no I just am not to much comfortable with the abundant of these dogs.

So dangerous people really do not know how serious this is.
Maybe my experience watching the movie called "CUJO" that is a movie to make everyone move to the edge of their seat about a dog who is inflected with rabies, and how he attacks the human persons and kills them.
CUJO... Is the name it's an older movie but a classic.

  just spoke with an Australian Aussie Aide friend and she had given me her cell number from her lab top at her apartment and one week later she has been getting phone text messages from strange persons whom she never gave her number too.

She was amazed when she answered the phone and heard a strange mails voice saying he had gotten her phone number at the internet cafe?

Toinks-vile

I hope he shows up Bambi he is way too much cute not to be there he he he!

He looks so much better and happier from when I had first met him a few years back in Bohol.

Please keep me posted on where and when thanks for the invite and lets make this day a blast and get together as in a time to bond!

Everyone should always keep close attention at all times of their children there are just to many weirdos out there anymore.

Its truly scarer indeed, look at the schools now in all parts of the world, who can we trust anymore in society with those who are to be entrusted and good to our kids?

I always make it a point to have my kids tell me about their day at school and what they learned and always great them with a hugs and loves.
Kids now a days are pushed hard in school and in society to be good and be responsible.

I enjoy giving them slack for their own character building but too much slack will ruin them as they will be tempted to do other things that are not good.

Always make it a point to explain things to them and spend allot of attention with them as well so they will feel important and have a huge self pride about themselves.

Allot of what we know is what we learned to make us grow back then.

Have a happy weekend all.

I am studying the laws on human rights here especially with women and children and there are many great laws but not are ever implicated.

These type of cases go to court and it seems like the one doing the crime most of the time has more rights then the victims they have stricken.

Yea' plenty hear in the PI are saddened about this young girl as well.

As people tell me here always.

"God will deal with them"

  ;This is a list with Philippine persons names only who are members living here or from here?
We also have foreigners from here who are residing and are members as well of TB as well what about those members who are not included on the list of a baker's dozen?

I might be in manila at that time but I was just thinking about all members in here not just those who are Philippine persons to be the only ones included on the list.

Ahem!

There are other places to discover other then Panglao beach's, there are places near Maribojoc that are nice and could use the attention of visitor's here.

Even would be great if anyone could come up with a charity list and everyone can pitch in and make Christmas baskets for those in real need over the Holidays who would normally not have something.

Most Church's in America make it a goal to get together and do the same things so no one goes with out a Christmas.
It would sort of be like the same thing, as I have never seen any of the church's here doing that here as of yet?
Maybe we can teach them how.
The church's here are a big money, and it would not hurt them to dig into their pockets once a year to help in what should be a joyous time for all celebrating in the birth of Christ.

Until now Neri is stirring the pot in Manila is this ever going to get anywhere?

He was present at the meeting with the BLCI and participating as well during the ERC at the Governors mansion.

He is a nice person and its too bad what has happend on both sides of the deal.

Yes in the states one would be held locked up in jail until the first pretrial so your not exposed to dangering anyone else and fleeing the law.
after pleading guilty or non guilty then it is up to the judge to set a date for the next trial date.
This way if you even think about running or eluding you will be ten times in more trouble for contempt of court and a bench warrant.

Even happens to attorneys all the time when they are busted for DUI/DWI.

How to prove the over legal limit of alcohol consumption here in the Philippines when they are not given Breathalyzer tests?

many....oops!

Mike the case I am looking into should also be jointly considered and handled for taking care and providing the two Minor victims with assistance including an atty, who can help represent their should be taken into consideration statements.

It just seems many pass ignore the laws and rights of what are to be.

may good laws but also these laws protect what are often corrupt.

I rarely see a case in which any of the laws or rights are implicated let alone exercised.

In Bohol at their local location here in Bohol I had noticed last night that prices are increasing and most of their meals do not include soft drinks like some of the other chain corporation fast food joints.

What use to be P35.00 in some instances is almost jumped up from P10 to P15 in difference.

All around the prices just keep on increasing.

two days ago went to the grocery store at a local mall they were out of eggs?

I think not!

We had purchased two bags of eggs there last time and 3 out of five eggs when cracked the yolk kept hanging on to the inside eggshell and if it was fried it had a dirt taste to it.

Maybe other consumers complained so they might have pulled the eggs off from the shelves.

They blamed it on a ferry for not coming in on time, but the ferry's here run pretty close to schedule and being with time accordance to their same daily routes.

Sad fact of a Bohol native who had lost his life do to rabies last July.

A Mr. Porol from Corella was hard to believe as he never thought the open sores of labor on his hard working hands would bring him to death of being infected by rabies.

It was early in the evening and while sitting outside on the porch a stray puppy had come up to Porol and licked his open wounds while being playfull.

Less then a days time after the puppy had licked him he was having the sick symptoms and was diagnosed with being infected with rabies.
The cute puppy was found to be the carrier of this fatal canine/human death virus.

Even tho Porol was not bitten by the little pooch the rabies was transported through his saliva and licking the wounds on Porols hands.

Porol was a laborer and a family man as well as a new grandfather, recently he had been working construction on BQ mall shortly before his passing.

please do not forget submission of holiday greetings will end Thursday PI time on November 29th.
Submit early to be able to reach publication deadline for Sunday's edition of the BOHOL STANDARD the paper that both Mike and I have our columns in.

Mike Thank you for your entry into the column from the members of TB to read in print by your family and friends here in Bohol who would like to here from you from where ever you are?

  to avoid any biased judgment the head of the event for Alturas DBC event (Sir. Loy Palapos), the judges are coming all from the outside provinces of Bohol, I am sure they will have the usual following same judges from outside the area that Include Elvis Somosot, who is the jingle artist for Alturas, Marcella feeds, and Marcella.
Emogene Kangakan, from Bacalod city who is representative of the well known group as the Maskara, and some representative from regional 7, Jollibee corporation.

A few years back I had the proud privilege to be  judge for this particular event. It was a great time to be had.
I had garnered many friendships and was flown to Bacalod all expense's paid and stayed for two nights as a judge for a Maskara sponsored drum and bugle corp show during the Chinese new year celebration.

Good luck to all corp members in Saturdays competition!

  do not worry the judges for this event are very sweet and fair as Feil and I have been respectfully chosen to represent our work places here in Bohol as Fridays judges for this event.

The Officers of the Tagbilaran School district has also invited us to take part in committee meetings for the next contest to be held with in a few months from now.

The program will include dance competition, intelligence portion, best in sports wear and other enlightening events at ICM activity center.

Thank You!

For the Tagbilaran Public School Divisional Office for inviting me as one of your judges for tomorrows contest.

I wish all the candidates to share in the best sportsmanship they have and to have a great time and be able to feel good about themselves for being chosen to represent the  Schools in the Regional 7 district here in Bohol!

I was surprised to see also how the native islanders prepare chicken for cookinhere as well.

They also catch live chickens and put their chickens head first over a kettle of boiling water still alive in order to kill it safely and more quickly versus uses the older method of a hatchet. Just before a feast right here on the farm inside the city limits.

Instead of shooting a pig with a rifle for preparation before a fiesta's here, they will stab it in the heart and neck area with a strong sharp knife and you can hear the pigs screaming for mercy until his death here at any given fiesta time.

Even beef is given growth hormones inside their foods in the beef farms in the states.

Some persons after eating a beef dinner have been noted for having bad dreams the night they eat beef, and the other is a difficult night of sleep often tossing and turning in bed due to reactions of the hormones we put into ourselves by eating USDA meats in America.

We have a beef farm back home we do not use hormones and we sell our cattle as a side line at the local lifestock sales barn.

We aet our own farmfresh raised beef as well.

It is also being related to in some studies recently as one of the causes of hormonal imbalances and obesity as well as hair extra hairgrowth on women but not everyone reacts the same.
Only some cases are reported and possibly linked to the hormones put into the meat we eat.

Red meat is a high source of protein and chicken is hi in vitamin "C".

many chicken meatshops are known for killing birds the same way before cutting and packaging for retail purposes.

For me it makes me sad I always hated to see my mom butcher chicken before frying it as a kid I use to cry bad about it.

I love to eat chicken as it is easier on the tummy for me.

Christmas Season is here and its time to set aside unwanted animosity and instead to make some greetings and wishfull thinking to be published in my weekly column for all your family and friends to read.
Yes'
whether is is a greeting from you, or even a new years though or resolution I am going to dedicate as my Christmas gift to the persons who come up with  sayings from the heart will have a chance to be published in the column;
Titled something like this; "Seasons Greetings From Tubag Bohol Members".
Okay Tubag friends give it your best shot.

I will let you know by Thursday next week who was chosen as a nice greeting for publication.

I should be able to fit about 15-20 persons (3 lines length in size greetings) please submit your greetings and wishes for fellow Boholanos to read from you to them.

Have Fun!

Ha ha ha ha! Here we have often baked all sorts of cookies for friends , family and for persons in the capitol building.
Chocolate chips for one bag of Hershey's cost almost $6.00 for one bag, but if you bake baby sized cookies it makes allot.

Looking at binsi's pictures my mouth starts to water and my fat cells start a hollering; "COME HERE!" "I WANT TO EAT YOU!" "I MUST HAVE YOU!" Teaser's!

Thank you for the compliment for the little one and also Happy turkey day also with you and your family.
(I will show her your reply later today after she comes home from school.)

I hear what your saying about the fish.

Its amazing as here you can eat a crab thats more smaller then a silver dollar coin, back home its a hefty time plus a fine. LOL!

I have a hard time in wanting to eat any fish smaller then my kamote, the fish here are very tiny in the wet markets.
I admit I am very fond of munching down on dried fish though

P.S. I am almost tempted to buy the Turkeys at the pet store to eat for Christmas time. its hard to find Turkey in the stores here. Turkey withdrawal....(drooling now!)

I am happy to see persons taking an interest to this topic.

I was able to keep my appointment with SB member Kit Oppus this afternoon as she treated me to a delightfull lunch.

here and I share the same values when it has to do with children and womens issues here. Kagawad Andy Nalzaro from DYTR radio AM was also with us as he is helping with full back up support in reporting this matter live over air.
He also tried to have the schools side of the story but no one wanted to talk. Kit admitted over our lunch time meeting that she was very impressed with my findings into the investigating of this case.

I'm glad that Andy is looking into matters that I have already informed him about and finding out for himself if what I have discovered is all very correct.

Kit said it is bizarre how the system is set up to protect the employees instead of the students.

She is also planning to meet with DanDan Bantugan and get an advocacy group started and has invited me to be the media rep and speaker for the group.
We are hoping by all means to see that the correct justice will prevail to these alledged victims.

Kit Oppus also plans to start getting government friends involved who can help since the school is related to the government here.

The situation with the minors involved as until now they have no funds to hire an Atty. to help them fight for justice.
The alledged rapist is having my chief editor close friend as his Atty. and I have been advised to cool off my writings for the mean time at my newspaper that I write for.

My blood is surging and I am chomping my teeth as if I have a bit in my mouth.

I informed KIt Oppus, I am already promised space by Senior Writer Kit Bagaipo to do any stories for this case in the chronicle like we did last week.

In media it's nice to have friends who can offer help at their facility when some one has administered the breaks to something as important as this is.

LoopHoles of media

I really hate them.

I have discovered that as a media person, and if your onto something hot as this its hard to stay sat down and behave.

I know the paper boss's mean well, and deep down he does not want me to get hurt or worse have a gun man come after me.
For you guys in tubag and for the sake of the minors,I will stay on it until end no matter how bad it is stressing me out.
It is okay to let me know what your opinions on this case are so far.
I would love to hear from you? 

Mike most of Bohol was not even aware there was a typhoon even tho radio stations had started giving directions of its location last weekend, but in Bohol it was nice to listen to the heavy rains pounding on top of the roof.

When I ask people about the typhoon today at BQ Mall they reply back with a "HUH?"

I had reports as far away as Surigao Norte that it was cold down South of us so cold it was making the pain of some persons with arthritis hard for them to be able to get out of bed.

Yala-Arabic for hello.

Hola-Espanole for hello.

Como vous parli vous-Hello how are, French.

Kamusta ka-Tagolog for hello, how are you.

What's happening-English, for whats going on.

Con suo vivo displacere-Italian, With great sorrow on his part.

I have a Spanish speaking sister in law.

I worked with Egyptians they spoke Arabic.

I have lived in Manila and learned some language there.

I live near the french Canadian border

I speak Italian because of my friends living on the East Coast back home.

Not bad to be able to speak a good amount of it or understand it for an American!

6 tongues, and with one of them i spent time volunteering in a Dr's clinic with the Spanish speaking back home.
Any language is good to know so if needed in an emergency at any given time.

Sorry I need to make a correction, not to Mrs. Mancha as mentioned, it was said by the other alledged at large rapist in this case to Mam DelRosario a teacher at Cecelia Putong who is teaching economics at the school.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

  I like Congressman Chatto, the man has got to be one of the most hardest working and most dedicated Congressmen men I have ever seen at work.

He is kind, he is soft spoken, and as long as I have known the man, he has always thanked me for my care, and treated me very kindly.

Every Saturday at his Tagbilaran residence he sees many persons asking for help all day long until the last one has been helped.

You can not find the same in America.

Nice job Chatto! Have a safe trip.

This evening while walking my two daughters across the street from their school on Galleres Strt., I and them had witnessed a bunch of cleansing water pouring out from the drain from a pension house onto the street and running down towards the dagat at JJ Seafoods?

Even my 2nd grade daughter shouted "Thats bad for the fish in the sea".

It smelled of bleach and pine-sol and was as white as a gallon of milk.

It is my understanding that the permits issued by the mayor in this city include proper handling of waste water and proper transport of waste water to a designated area?

Thanks gals for the sweet messages.

lumine I am excited your coming here maybe if you see me in person surprise me, and you will have a Chance to meet the real sweet me that I am.

Also lumine you and your family have a safe and fun travel as well.

We are free from any danger of the typhoon but Cebu got it bad, as many tree's were uprooted in LapuLapu city Cebu.

Bohol safe again!

Yeah!

Earthquakes are what scare me more then anything.
Take care!

Lets not forget the word "BIMBO" as well.

Lorenzo all I am asking for is a simple apology.

I was shocked to read the sentence you had written in Ex pats

I was shocked as I had been being kidded all along that you were an educated and polite kind person?

It is a personal attack on white people, and myself as well.

I know and my socail environment know as well as God also that those personal words of attack and you were not generalizing as
I was saying in ex pats but i am sure it sounds like it was taken wrong; All foreign men who marry and complain to me that the wives families expect the financial support out of his pockets as well.
I should be more carefull when wording things from persons.

My Filipino friends at home in the states told me str8 up that they came from poor families and married to have a better life then what Philippines had to offer.
Most my Filipino friends were beaten and abused by American men and later disregarded.

I am really working on trying to straighten out my grammar as I also at times  have a hard time understanding what I said myself?

Aaaaaaaaack! It comes out as if backwords.

I do not like saying bad things about persons, but I am fair in letting others know what are being said.

Many persons have feelings that are not always positive but they are way to shy to say how they really think out loud.

Sometimes its hard to read a persons mind but the guys are to friendly to say it to their wives in person.
Instead we (foreigners) meet at the corner table in BQ breadbasket and compare our notes. I talk about media events and they talk to me like I am DEAR ABBEY.

They whine and grind about their expenses and what not about the culture here comparing it to back home.
Other people can hear what they say I tell them to lower their voices as I look around to see who has been hurt from overhearing the conversation.
I am sort of the Dear Abbey, and sergeant of Arms in maintaining peace and harmony in our group.
Some times if they keep on talking bad about their Filipino wives, I eventually leave the table and find another one to sit at.

My husband is Pinoy' and an OFW and I am a surrogate mother of four kids here.

I do not know of any other foreign woman living here and taking care of their step Filipino kids?
I also will leave the table if the husbands are wound up about their wives and her family as I do not want my kids to hear their race being badly talked about.

Most f what i said in EXPATS is not words from my lips but from others just so you would know whats going on and and whats being said as well.

I am sorry personally if it had hurt anyone of you.

That is not what it was intended for.

As I have always said I love all kinds of people.

Why else am I here taking care of y husbands kids and I am not raised in this culture.

Marry for love, responsibility, and care, not for the material things.

I am an old fashioned gal and always have been.

That historical picture is neat Mike.

I love old photography that dates back to times before any development was ever planned for the local area in time.

It almost looks the same as the fishermans inlet near the discharging port in Manga today when I look at that picture.

Any time Mike when you find more pictures such as those plse post them so I can see how this island progressed in developing into what it has become today.

Salamat Ka! 

I have my opinion to about certain persons in my life, but as a rule I was not raised of being a person who emotionally or physically abuses persons.

So in other words your saying you do not know how to apologize and be a gentle man or the pride thing is in your way?

How often are you into calling ladies names like "White trash" is my book that falls under racial prejudices!

No one has the right to call someone racial filthy names.

No one.

I am glad my "white trash" parents raised me to be honest and kind and to the point, they did not teach me the rights to call persons names, what have I ever done to you?

Thank You Glen, your support in my feelings means allot to me.

Here in Bohol if your a friendly residential Icon and not a piece of so called "white trash" and your actually known as a popular and friendly person here in the community such as I am then normally with in the amount of time I have lived here in Bohol, people have gotten to know me in the way I am as just normal straight to the Gods honest truth (living in a real world point of view of how it really is here)
Many people here know I am good to them and respect them.
I have no problem with people who are proved genuine in the way they carry themselves.
Often I smile at persons who others would not give even a nod too normally.
I often get the same back as if they never expected someone so be nice to them?
Makes one feel good in return.
Often Lorenzo as one Bohol SB member has told me that "Often it takes an outsider looking in to point out the problems and help make suggestions to try to help in bettering persons lives."

I believe in being informative, as well as having the correct realistic situation at hand at present said to me versus some ones made up fantasy or belief of what it is, when it is not.

No one is perfect and we know that already.
I have never lambasted or lied or fantasied to any of you in here on a personal basis.

Often I have had to bite my tongue in what I read in here as everyone is entitled to their opinion whether biased or not.
But to personally call some one names is with out a doubt walang classy jyud.

I have plenty of accomplishments both in school and with in my home place community and here as well.

I hear all of you out there, and have made compliments to many of your opinions but when I have made nice ideals or have kept you up to date or given my insight as some one who is well in tuned, and cares with whats going on here in Bohol, no one says a thing?

If the kettle is black in my book then it is black.

Some people always want to hide behind the truth and thats normal in life.

Do not any of you get me wrong I love Philippine persons very much as well as care about them.

I admit I do talk the sweet and sour of the states and here. There has to be balance, diba!

Not all but there have been a majority of you, and as old as I am white and some one who has traveled the world and been exposed to many kinds of cultural back grounds, Philippines is not exempt in having the same attitudes that the rest of the world is having.

No one place is better the next each nation has it weak and strong links.

I am not raised biased in my thinking.
I believe that we are all brothers and sisters, and that the world belongs to everyone.

The only thing separating persons around the world are the different flags we fly.

Have spoke my words and hope none of you lovely persons are offended in what I have said in this post.
Take Care, and as I said before, I love and care about all persons and living things on this planet.

I am sorry I forgot to mention that if anything does happen I hope my internet connection would be up to inform any of you of any new changes regarding this matter.

Love to all of you.

We are fine here in the Bohol province. We only experienced some small heavy rain showers nothing more.

I think what is the most bizare weather we had here in Bohol was about one month ago when we had hail pounding on top of our GI roofs.
In my six years of living here in Bohol I do not think or recall ever having such an out of the normal weather system hit here.

Hail is frozen smaller then golfball shaped moisture that pass's through the clouds that are associated with high up above electrical and thunder storms often.

There are three types of hail classifications, and the names and definitions can be found here on your electronic funk and wagnol! (PC-Encyclopedia)

As far as the typhoon, Bohol was not affected not even by the winds.

I was waiting up all night for some excitement to happen but nothing happened

Believe me if it had I am the usually the one who would be the one living here to be the first tolet you know if anything happened here in Bohol itself.

Raindrops keep falling on our heads!........................Thats it only.

Plse read posted update in the other topic I posted in regards to the one posted by Mike.

Another way to help farmers here is not to charge "EVAT on perishable grocery items as people need to eat in order to survive.
It is a necessity not a luxury.

Most states in America are exempt of sales tax unless it is carbonated beverages, beer, wine, and deli foods and foods prepared at restaurants.

Lets see now?

The Mayor Dan Lim official "I do not get along with the following persons list"

SSUP. Edgardo Inking                     VM. Toto Veloso                 Gov. Aumentado

Most new members of SB council       Certain business owners here in the city

I can recall many times in which Mayor has sad some pretty direct and insulting things to persons whom have ever dissagreed with him.

I have seen persons help him win elections in the past and he has put them in the recycle bin as well.

There is a famous quote that everyone has heard either once or twice during their life time it goes like this;
      "Treat others in how you want to be teated"

I agree with Lim the only way to stop the illegal numbers game is to stop the sale of pcso sales as well.
Even I do not get caught up in gambling here in Bohol.
Or in the Philippines as I do not even do it back home in the States.
I have a family and I do not want to gamble on them as I love them very much to end up losing anything that we have already gained.

Persons here do have a livelihood here while playing the illegal numbers game.
In fact one radio station employees are seen playing it daily with a guy who is living on Remoldore Extension.
This station has been playing with this favorite suky for a few years now.
He looks in better health, and wears cleaner and nicer clothes.
Before he was selling dried fish in Jagna and not doing as well as he is being a a daily swertez (illegal) dealer.
certain person from their respected areas are in charge of collecting and at the same time they are familiar with the barangay and the neighbors as well.
In Manila barangays get together and play BINGO and win money it is a socail outlet as well and everyone knows what their neighbors are up to as well.

It is also illegal to not wear a motorcycle helmet as well but do you see them out there busting those violators as well?

Here there are many violators who know they can get away with just about anything here now a days.

If the city mayor does not care then why should the community?

I recall an election story that Lim said he was in cahoots with PNP Provincial SSUP. Edgardo Inking.
Everyone knows he has been trying to crack down on this illegal numbers as it leads into other crimes happening.
Could this be used as a tactic of Mayor Lim to go against SSUP. INKING?

There is no fortress so strong that money cannot hide.

I truly pity the handicap and the elderly here in Tagbilaran who are unable to make it up and down the stairs to see the Mayor for assistance.

I also pity the handicap and elderlywho have to step up onto very high street curves.

Even for me it is a pretty big step up, and there are no wheelchair ramps here in the city of Tagbilaran to help the wheelchair bound or the handicapped elderly to get around in the downtown shopping area.

The malls in town are equipped with elevators that work most of the time to accommodate those customers who normally have a hard time to getting around.

Solution is simple, just call in the persons who set it up and have them repair the elevators back to normal at the city hall building.

We need to be fair in allowing good services for all.

As I promised I said I would keep you up to date with the happenings on the twin rape case that has taken place at the city's public high school last September.

I have attended each preliminary case in this matter, and one of the two alledged rapist suspects has showed up while the second one is at large.

I have spoke with several high school teachers and the administration on this matter and will continue to do so as a concerned person and media person here in Bohol.

There have been reports by teachers who talk to me about the case that their offices at the school are being broken into and ransacked. They are reporting this to the school principal it is her job to report such matters to the city police to have the incident blottered.
Unfortunately she is not reporting any of the 3-4 break ins that have been done to offices at the school to the pnp.

I have been starting to collect notarized and illegal paper trails on four persons who are employed at the school who are a part of an illegal lending business.

Some teachers are telling me that one of the alledged rapist is involved as one of the four involved in the scam of lending.

The promissory note that I have is some one teaching at the school has borrowed  P100.000.00 at 5% interest.(Notarized and signed to the hilt)
More paper trails to come.

Prior to the other Suspected rapist flee from the Bohol province he has stated to Mrs. Mancha a teacher at the school that this is not the first time this has been happening with the two guys.
They have done it several times using different student females, and this is the first case out of many incidents to have been filed.

I have had this exposed on DYTR with radio announcer/Kagawad Andy Nalzaro, I have kept the chronicle up dated on my findings as well.

Do to the senior writer of that paper being related to one teacher and the guidance councilor of that school he had handed over the assignment to me as he did not want to sound biased in his reporting.

We are hopefully planning to air this eventually again over DYRD as soon as we collect more evidences and info on this case.

Tomorrow Tagbilaran city SB council member has set an appointment to discuss my findings and has thanked me for keeping it alive and being on top of it.

I hope to bring you more news as the case progress's.

Oh Jeeeeeez, I miss the toinks really I do.
                                                        NOT!

                                                                         PSYCHE!

There really is a Santa Clause after all. Ho ho ho fa la la la.

Now I am confussed again the FCB bank president and I were talking last night at Archie Sarmiento's birthday party at MacJac about the difference between the grabi American pak pak vs the silent Pak pak here that the audience gives after people perform on stage?
Mike even we talked about this over lunch at Gerry's Grill  one day as well.
This will be more positive if done in a nice and correct way.

The winner of first place for most toinks received goes toooooooo....................?






Darn It guys!

Does that mean I am officially toinker initiated?

Actually some had a sport doing it.

I am LOL about it now!

Please read Maurito Lims in last Friday's BLCI ERC hearing posted here in TB.
Interesting someone like that is out of jail and participating in a hearing the next day?

No Deal in America for this if you have done this type of thing as your sitting in jail waiting for a pretrial.

Some times this culture is very confusing to me?

Surely but slowly Happy, it has been a really time consuming ordeal and I am pleased that I am getting the deserved back up as this darn principle has not done anything to care or look after these young ladies.
She's more on protecting her employees.

Thanks for your interest.

Just to inform anyone who reads the Bohol chronicle I am given permission by senior writer kit of this paper to write up this case  as it progress's along in his paper from now on since it is me doing the investigating.
Kudos to Kit for helping out his foreign colleague.
I was told by one of the persons I am investigating that some one from my paper (FA) is calling him that same day and my write ups are not being posted on this hot and interesting topic and I had previous go ahead from the publisher to sat on the case and keep the readers up to date. (The publisher was in Manila last wk and again was not aware of it.)
I have an outside editor Rene Ponte who does my pre editing to avoid anymore mess ups in my newspaper writings.

Thank You, for your patience and consideration always.

I wish we could modify. I need to preview in the future posts I put up. Sorry guys.

An explosion rocked the Philippines Congress on Tuesday in a suspected assassination of a Muslim law maker, that also killed one other person, injured several more and unnerved thecountry's capitol.

Wahal Akabar, who represents the restine southern island of Basilan, died from his injuries in a local hospital after an explosion tore up the southern entrance of The House of representatives, shortly after 8:PM.

It was definitely a bomb or a command detonated explosive, Jose De Venecia,speaker of the lower house floor as he reported to media and over a live national telecast live after the event had taken place.

The police and military put Manila and other provinces North and South of the capitol on "FULL ALERT". They cardon-ed off Congress.

Akbar was a three term governor of Basilan before winning a seat in the House of Representatives this year.

Davencia said if policegive the all -clear the lower house will open as normal on Wednesday.

"We want to show them we are not afraid"

Building permits, Business Licenses, uhg!.......This mayor has a reputation of stalling for business owners.
I can name several businesses that are made and operating with out permits from the mayor or city building dept.
Business should be encouraged here as it postions the island in being better in employing persons for jobs who would other wise not have the opportunity if the job is not here.

Mike TB administrator has posted a version of what i have sub,submitted to Kit the senior writer of the Chronicle here in Bohol.
I have read my post and even i could not make to much sense of it but the message was there.
This is serious what has happened here.
When i spoke to Tagbilaran City School Superintendant Jala alone last week (as kit waited downstairs at Macjac) he told me that he is not happy having this  face him upon his return to Bohol after visiting the states.
He was made more aware of this by my first visit earlier in the week with him.
The first investigation came into Jala's office he rejected it.
I spoke to him on Tuesday for the first time at his office and asked him if there could be a way to let the girls continue schooling and by Thursday afternon in my hands he laid four copies of documents backing up my fact findings of the case.
Jala is so sympathetic to this case as he mentioned that the girls are from very poor families.
The preliminary case was postponed by the suspects atty and moved to November 15th.
The schools administration office is searching desperately to come up with justifiable reasons that it was okay as why it happend.
I was so irate with the school principal when she walked out of the office and did not want to face my questioning on this matter.

I was on my second visit with Jala when he handed me copies of documents to have to write in the paper I also gave Kit copies as well and discussed all the up to date with him.
I asked him again for back up he said he could not.
I am glad he decided to back me up and complimented me in ding a good job and that my column write ups were explosive!

Specail Thank You kit for the back up.

Specail Thank you mike for posting it.

I am the one who gave Kit this news since I am having problems with my associate editor at the paper where i write.
My publisher was allowing me to cover this case and I thought it would be best to have Kit back me up in his paper.
I gave kit the documents and my reported talks with the public schools superintendant to put it in a write ups as my associate editor does not allow all things to get posted on our papers website.
Kit is also related to one teacher and a sister who teaches at the school where this took place at.
Kit also did not want to have to write the story or investigate it for that reason.(did not want to sound biased)
Now it can be posted after I submitted this to Kit of the Chronicle.
This is the write up your waiting on but in my work in Kits name.
Hope you all can understand me now as to why I could not post the story before.
This will back up my previous post as one of you stated to me was a gossip.
The two employees were watching through holes in the walls from the dirty kitchen behind the employees sleeping quarters not windows as reported.
Until now I am still  investigating and gathering news for future write ups for Kit and I.
Hope to keep you up to date.

I am currently investigating a case that sort f has this same scenario behind it and the administrators are passing the blame and in denial but why is it that the one's who told me about this were the victims by the same persona who might be pulling this similar but not related matter on collection.....Soon the real truth will prevail.

Frog, your the bomb!

Absolutely hilarious man!

I had to look twice I almost thought my eyesight was going bad on me and realized it is your handsome bamboo.

I love Bamboo tree's we use to have them outside our restaurant in the states. then Cambell soup bought the building for a few pennies back in the 70's and took away the tree's and made pizza there.

Currently it is now transformed into a local credit union.

the only place to find a bamboo anywhere in my home town is near the cashier at the local Thai restaurant. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I could think of colder places where to have a brain freeze and the price of one round trip ticket for everyone of them would leave everyone bonkers!

Still waiting on "Frog" oh should I also throw in asking a price range for various sized body frames?

Some of us should pay more for bigger bodies and less for skinnier bodies! (He he he he!)

The game is also being played now at Alturas Market for every P200.00 worth to commemorate in celebration of their Anniversary.

Speaking of the Alturas market the little drummer's and horn players can be heard all over the school court yards as many enthusiast children are preparing to compete in this years Alturas drum and Bugle Showdown!

Good luck and have fun!

I had though about it as i posted it? So what if i did ask and I would like to have the reference of the paper so I can say what paper it is coming from as i might make it an opinion in my column.

I just like to have my readers know how i get my sources and where they come from.

thanks for the reminder grazie

test is (toinks!)(LOL)

I'm glad this topic was posted.  My Filipino husband is an OFW as he works as a 2nd mate for a Japanese chartered company and the last time he spoke to me this past week our discussion was exactly what is posted here in TB.

He was telling me the exact story that many wives were complaining as well as OFW's themselves.

One goes to market to buy a loaf a bread he is now paying 1/4 of his hard earned working day just for the loaf alone (P26.50) it does not include the mayo sachay at P40.00 that his family will be spreading on their pieces of bread.

Rent for an apartment is running at P16.000 fully furnished. Unfurnished is P2.500 and up.

neither includes water, cable, or electricity.

We have our own home in which we stay.
The kids school projects are costly and dropped on us parents like a drop of a hat sometimes cutting into the families budjet and if they do not have it done they can not get a clearance even tho the testis paid for?

It's getting to be a harder life for many here as the minimum wage is not going up but the daily needs are increasing in price?

6 years ago I was not able to speak or understand the vernacular of the Visayan language. these day i still have some what difficulty with it.

You want to know why I do not use the Visayans so much is that many here actually do speak English.

Tagbilara Rotary....I need not be in a hurry when using spell check. Please bring back the revise.

oops! darn spell check the word should be mauled not muled.

I have just read the threads in here and all make sense and are also good points.
I really like the one said about this being a government warning.

I have three Philippine step children and one who was not wanted or could she be afforded by either parents other spouses as her biological parents did not ever marry.

She is what we call a bastard child the dads name was not on the birth certificate.

I was her Godmother and I could see that despite her being an honor student she was being sexually muled almost every night by her step father while the mom worked in a canteen from early morning until night.
The girl tried with all her might to live with her mama.
he was raised the first 8 years of her life by old not in to good of health grand parents.
The mother has a younger daughter and is now seperated from her non working physically abusing husband and trying to make ends meet with her small work in the canteen.

The young ladies biological father's wife just gave birth last Oct, 29th, to their second child now his 4th, and his second child was also born to another woman. He totals four bata.

I as her Godmother could not tolerate it and then the girl being abused and unwanted by either step child I took her under my wings and I have loved her, and have her in a private school here and have legal custody of her and also the mothers full consent to go ahead with adoption.

She has gained weight, and gained bigger smiles and has what she needs and you would never know she is not my real daughter as she treats me as if I am her own biological mother.
She is loving, and goes everywhere with mama if not she will cry.

I have been is DSWDs here in the Philippines and they are depressing as the children who one sees in there normally end up there are the difficult to place babies.

I have served on several medical missions through the Vocabularian Rotary and I am always invited to help anywhere they go to help persons who are very poor to persons in the prisons.

I find the case with the little girl very sad and she was very determined to have done what she has done.

I agree let this not just be a warning but a wake up call to the politicians here as well.

Most are trying to help some are not holding onto their promises as they should here.

Thats great news for philippine persons. I wish that America could adopt some of the better policies that the Philippines have here.

My U.S. drivers license expired almost two years ago and I do not have such a wonderfull service as this one offered from my country that Philippines now has.

I do have a drivers license from the Philippines from the local LTO. It was easy to get as I had mine from the states already.
I did not have to take a written or a driven.

What are the fees for such a service now being offered and is it available in all outside countries?

There are many seamen who will appreciate this news.

Thank you!

Wow!

Ginger if you could please email me the news story to my yahoo email address I could post this in the paper that I write for here in Bohol.


Mike, also has a column in this same paper as mine here in Bohol.

Thank you!

Good day all, this is a global problem it happens everywhere and it should not be tolerated in any sense.
I have always fought for what should be right as well as what should be equal.

I am not a prejudiced person but I can not say that for my families history when it came to the greats.

Heaven forbid me when I was little and watching something on T.V. and if grandma was in the same room with me and someone with a different skin color or ethnically cultured background would come into the program that I was watching she was neg me to turn the channel.

It bothered me to something of a very certain degree in how my greats felt about racial issues. My parents were not the same. My parents allowed us to travel with them and my parents were the kind of persons who were filled with wanderlust to travel to different places in the world and having the neatest times in meeting all kinds of persons with different backgrounds.

America is so full of diversity now not like back in the 60's and 70's and now America has come to accept that people from around the world love America and want a good chance in life that America has to offer to them.

I believe in "LOVE THEY NEIGHBER"

Its never to early to start thinking ahead for what you are making out your New Year resolutions to be.

Some persons when making resolutions like to make it rhyme with the last number in the yr.

Example "Do not be late in 08", or "Have alto of dates in 08" ETC.

Traditional New years Resolutions are lose weight, stop smoking, and volunteering with community groups.

I always have the same Resolution from year to year not just for me but for all people and that is that everyone have a Healthy, Happy, Safe, and Loving Wonderfull New Year!  "2008"

I think it would be interesting to hear what all your thoughts on New Years Resolutions are or will be?

Happiest and Jolliest of Hollidays to All!

Wellcome to TB NFL.

Yes you are absolutely right it is great to see some positive news in here for once.

It's a livelihood here plain and simple. You hardly ever see anyone playing Maj Jong here in Bohol anymore.
No Maj Jong, no life, only in between the bedsheets to create more population and poverty sounds like a "NO Deal" to me.
What do the people do here for livelihood but become more indebted by either gambling or producing more babies?
Church says no gambling and against FP but once they talk a couple out of it do they pay the support for the kid to be raise with? (NOT!)
Gambling swertres operators (non authorized)make mass money for the work they do.
Jobs are not abundant here for the population that is daily produced.
Church is against FP and how else can high school drop outs raise their young families here?
The BINGO parlour is always busy at ICM with persons who are not so poor, I would rather see that money going towards helping persons who they see and know could use the help instead of throwwing it into a 20% given to charity group.
I am surprised that persons in the state do not do the same as they do here.
He he he!
Its not right but a family has to eat here and so thats a way of life here for many.

Thanks i am always upbeat.

But when i see biases going on in here I am not intimidated to speak out about it.

As a judge here for several events I have noticed it and have been told being biased is a part of the culture.
Just not a part of mine.
My door is open to anyone who wants to air a constructive and a legitimate feeling.
But when people have to take things personally and start ganging up on people personally then some one has the right to fight for what should be right.
In here many persons get side tracked and onto some egotistical outburst as if what things said in here are about them personally.
If you feel your a great positive contributor then no need to be offensive as I have seen in this web site over and over again.
Even I am up beat the PAK PAK is gamay like some judges do to great talents here competing they give small acknowledgement and low scores if they do not know you and the performer is great, as someone popular the judges will judge for popularity.
It is normal here.
I know I am intelligent I am told that often in a day time.
I am sort of like Atty. Victor Delaserna carass and do not beat around the bush.
If your mean time after time it is only normal for that person to show back the same attitude as they are getting.
I have plenty of patience, but as you all know you can push some one so far or your going to get it.
When I get to the point most do not like it.
We call it a bait some one wants to keep on baiting you along until the point it is time to bite the worm.
Some like it when the worm bites as they feel it is a way of getting attention and not in a nice way.
Baiting for negatives. Something we learn in 8th grade socail sciences classes.

I have seen Philippine persons commenting in here and saying whats on their mind do the particulars group of same people harassing me harass them as well?
No! I wonder why that is?
Does it have something to do that I am not a brown skinned Boholana?
I have allot of friends and I know who they are, and in fact they say to me that they wished more persons were like me to the point and straight forward about what is the real life's story going on.
Thank you for the proper compliment it takes a real person now a days to even know how to give a compliment.

I give a compliment now a days to someone they act ashamed and do not know how to react, maybe they are not use to someone being nice to them?
Here someone would rather knock you down so you always regress instead of progress the Philippine persons call it "Crab Mentality" here.

In the columns that i write here in a Philippine weekly newspaper I have mentioned just what you said above about thelimited budget but actually with lack of equipment as the police and military have here they actually perform pretty well during the last annual regional 7 police inspection from camp crame.
Even the PNP located in the interior parts of the province are lacking of arms as the province is out of them at present for issuance to all new incoming and newly assigned policemen coming into the province of Bohol.
I have even been actively present at governor reports for the local BTMA and had asked several questions regarding the topic as well.
It's already old news to them as I informed them during the report and it was coming from an inside resource who is assigned in the interior which is again i say very highly infected with rebels at this moment more then before.
Constant propholectic rounds are being made with in the interiors barangays as we speak.
Take care.

Why does it give you a head ache the genorasity of my husbands Filipine family darn near gave me a nervious breakdown.
You are a sensitive person and anything i do I can not seem to kiss your ass to make you hapy enough toink me allyou want at this point and time ask me if i care.
Deal with it your country has allot more way to go before it can progress same as Thailand has done.
You guys have had the chances to be resourcefull with whtyou have to clean this country up and make it nice so it can progress further.
Many philippine person who know the difference and have enough of it do their best to get the heck away from here.
When they finially reach the other country that was once considered just the same as the Philippines they admitted this was embaressing as people in the Philippines should conduct theselves in good ways and let this nation come alive in order to strive.
I am just now reading this blog by you grazie and maybe if we met my time would be to valuable for quite the insulting person that you are always towards me.
I do not back down what I do not get is why ther are no Philipine women in Bohol who act this same manner as the girls in here behave.
You have all insulted America many times over do I get dramatic about it?
So what and who is not running from your country and who has run from here and for what reasons did you run and yes it's great that other countries help persons from other counries that are less fortunant if it was not for that you would not be on your high horse so much.
I have Philippine friends who read this and they are in shock and say you girls are already forgotten your morals? Lagi! Walay Kalaro jyud!

I made it to the top 20 list woo hoo!

What sort of a sight is this?

A social sight

A informational sight on Bohol

A socail positioning sight

This sight has some persons on here who are very prejudiced and mean and i hope when Mike opens this sight back up that he cleans this crap up in here right down to the naked pictures.

This use to be a friendly sight until one day when a lady in here told an American to go back to America not in those exact words but in between the lines sort of way.

That day was the day that Philippine biases against foreigners being in here was born.

Hope to see most of you out there enjoying the hard worked practice of the Islands youth.

Drum corp will be remembered in these kids older lives and it will be something they were proud about doing.

it teaches them discipline, arts, and working together as a team.

Two years a go I had the lovely oppurtunity to be a judge for the Alturas company and I really admired the teams spirits and the general output of the entire show.

I was in Drum Corp International (DCI) back home for five years and I know and can understand the time and sacrifice that goes into making and being a part of this very woderfull show.
The last three of my five years in corp we won the grand championship title for three years in a row, we rocked!

Kidding American donuts are not for sale here! just seeing how many persons really read these postings.
I was seeing if some one would of complained and said no sliciting in here! he he he he!

Do you have friends effected by the now very scorched California?

The fires are known to be bad there but people just keep on building there despite the pasts happenings.

California is doing what Cali is doing in some places the cliffs are sliding down and so are some of the homes along with them.

I see snow in your picture? Were you on a winter vacation at the time?

I am crazy about the California Red Woods. My late grandfather loved to drive there often he had polio but had a custom car made so he could gear his car by using his hands.

The writers are on strike now in Cali and New York. How do you see Arnold as a Governor of the state?
How did you settle in California the Philippine population is many over there in that state maybe due to the warm climate like back at home during most of the year.

Cali is an expensive state as well. My place is affordable but climbing in cost as well.

I love being close to the snow capped mountains I have been snow skiing all my life but not here in the Islands.
he he he!

Thanks for the reminder thats nothing new Congress changing the date of the time to change.

As for the reminder for us here in the Philippines always go by the no change in time! he he he!:)

As a reply to grazie my hospitality is great I am talking of other's fiesta and holidays. heck no when I buy lechon for holidays and events it is big enough to send my guest home each with generous helpings, we play many kinds of games.
My guest get drunk on imperadore and with the happiest of laughs.
I make many types of pies even if I go way out of cost as the ingredients are imported here that I need to make them but the outcome is like watching happy faced kids licking their pie covered faces.
I have seen guest staying up all night until the Greenfield's has run out and the creek is dry as well.
I ave also watched many passed out ho bug persons as well but happy they stay put and sleep and do not try to drive after getting drunk.
Most the persons I invite here to my parties are professional people and they know how to limit themselves.
My parties are so great and the food I make is done alone by all be and myself and the rave I usually receive lands up in the papers as one of the best parties to go down with the tastiest of foods loved by all.
I wish In the states we had the neat Christmas lanterns like they do here.
I wish here we had the real pine scented tree's or better the noble tree's that smell so much like Christmas in the woods.
I have never been able to find a real candycane and be able to hang it on the tree here?
I am mingaw for those.
last year i got to together with the ICM"S malls entertainment committee and designed the malls first Santa house ever to be put up in the city of Bohol every one loved it.
I hope this year if procedes will be made that charities can receive from the Santa house fund raiser.
Christmas is about giving and enjoying in the merriest of company.
FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! Deck the halls! the first Noel! Angles we have heard on high! and the Christmas songs played on.

grazie i also use LBC when I ship all my many boxxes from the states. I think they often let you put in the entire world if you could fit it inside the carton.

I wish they had LBC service to send the boxxes filled with Filipino treats and goodies back to family in the states for pasalabom but they do not it is only for letters and small packages if your lucky to find the ones to accept the small packages.

I have found one company in SM in Cebu that flies boxxes to the states but only to New York.

I am hoping to take with me many persons all with good visa's once they get them and everyone will be having two balikbayan sized boxxes to take with them on the plane so i have plenty of pasalabom to hand out once I touch ground In the states.

LBC takes about three weeks for delivery to Bohol but I have often waited almost two months for the longest wait I ever had with them.

If your flying here your also allowed two boxxes to check in up to 72 lbs each and a carry on bag. and your purse I always make sure that the purse is very big so I can get more and bring it here to my kids.
I like flying EVA AIR of all the airlines as the seats are big and cozy to sit in and the leg space is spacious as well.
The kids love Kraft macaroni and canned chocolate frosting when i send the boxxes archie comics books, towels, and circle and find books they go nuts over.
nd Victoria secret as well.
Hope they love whats in the box when they receive it what a sweet girl you are.
