Scott...I believe I saw the original Alfie (1966) also there in Tagbilaran in what was the only aircon theater there at the time during my longest stay there for 10 months. The aftertaste for me is the title song sung by Dionne Warwick and is considered a signature song for her. I was produced by Burt Bacharach and won a Grammy for him in 1967....joey

Oh, I see Sir.
It must be in the Ideal Cinema hehehe

Kung pwede pa lng...sauna ra unta

its time will come

here's one of those movies I've watched, and the aftertaste have lingered this far.


ALFIE (2004)

Alfie Elkins is a philosophical womanizer who is forced to question his seemingly carefree existence. Ultimately, his freewheeling lifestlye begins to slowly unravel.

Under the direction of Charles Shyer, Alfie follows a charming, if morally lacking, womanizer from one bed to the next. While his actions arise more from nonchalance than malice, Alfie nonetheless faces a moral dilemma when considering the two women he has impregnated: his common-law wife, whom he hasn't treated very well even outside of his tendency to stray, and one of his mistresses. Alfie also includes performances from Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon, and Nia Long. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

That beach photo at Shang is also nice. Ahh, now I remember, the color of the water is not inviting. I get scared swimming dark blue waters. I guess that was the reason I judt didn't bother nor have any plans of going back to that resort again, except for any special occasions.
The rest of your snapshots, what a beauty, especially the ones at night. Capturing those bright lights in the evening are pretty tricky. And you did it well, great job. Thank you, Scott.

Oh, I see.

It was really creepy Ginge. Murag mood sa usa ka suspense movie...kanang naay barkada ga camping. unya naay usa ka serial killer nga mulugsung ug kalit. dayun usa ray maka lingkawas

What made it more creepy was the home video we watched the day prior to the trip. Guess what movie? TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

but the Lake Danao park is really very nice. well-preserved ang lugar. mingaw. ug haskang ka romantic pod.

By "buhi," what do you mean?  Alive and kicking or barely breathing?  hehe  Seriously, the group is still present and accounted for but we haven't been as active as we should be.  We have plans to come out with a folio soon, though.  You might want to contribute.

buhi meaning murag buhing bulawan.
seriously, buhi i mean if you still hold regular meetings and poetry reading.

re: folio, that would be very interesting. would love to work with you guys in this literati project. holler back when it's final Paul ha. be waiting

WOW! Sounds very interesting! Would you know their contact numbers Mike? (not found in google yet

I'll be piecing the creative pathways program of my incoming students. Ideally a place that is off-the-beaten. I can sense that this resort is aligned with the criteria since it is near Danajon double barrier reef (fits best for natural science).

Please lemme know. Thanks Bro

2007 THES-QS World University Rankings   

The Top 5 World Universities are:

(1) Harvard University (USA)
(2) University of Cambridge (GBR)
(3) Yale University (USA)
(4) University of Oxford (GBR)
(5) Imperial College London (GBR)

Only two Asian universities are in the Top 20:

(17) University of Tokyo (JPN)
(18) University of Hong Kong (HKG)

In the Southeast Asian region, only two universities, both from Singapore, made it into the Top 100:

(33) National University of Singapore (SIN)
(69) Nanyang Technological University (SIN)

Sadly, only two universities from the Philippines made it into the Top 500:

(398) University of the Philippines, Diliman (PHI)
(451) Ateneo de Manila University (PHI)



(519) De La Salle University, Manila (PHI)
(535) University of Santo Tomas (PHI)



Comments on Ateneo de Manila University’s Performance in the 2007 THES-QS World University Rankings

Last year’s THES-QS World University Rankings caused quite a stir among university personnel in various parts of the world. In the Philippines, it became a big thing because of university rivalries. Ateneo de Manila University decided to come out with a statement because of the reactions of its alumni and other publics.

This year, the University of the Philippines Diliman (Rank 398) and the Ateneo de Manila University (Rank 451) are the only two Philippine universities in the top 500 (Tables 1 and 2). The Ateneo de Manila is the only Philippine university that increased its rankings (Table 2). We are happy to be in such a position, but perhaps, this is also the best time to reiterate what we have been saying about rankings, in general.

First, the quality of the rankings depends on the soundness of the methodology, data acquisition process, and survey instrument. Perhaps, this is why QS, the group responsible for research, initiated some changes in their methodology (Sowter, 2007):

    * 1. Peer reviewers were prevented from promoting their own university.
    * 2. QS switched to Scopus from ESI (Thomson) for citation data. According to Sowter, this covers a larger number of papers and journals overall and, thus, greater representation from lesser known universities and institutions from academic systems with less emphasis on publication. It also has less pronounced bias towards the US, and covers more sources in languages other than English
    * 3. There is consistent usage of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) data for all personnel related data.
    * 4. They standardized scores using Z-score aggregation of indicators to generate overall scores.

QS also exerted effort to get the correct data, directly from the universities. There was the temptation not to participate (by not submitting data), but we thought that this would be to our disadvantage because they will try to get the data from other sources, anyway.

Second, rankings are designed to have a special purpose or market; hence, the weights of the criteria should reflect this. This year, the same weights, as decided by the Times Higher Education Supplement, were used for the survey. Research Quality is measured through Peer Review (40%) and Citations per Faculty (20%); Graduate Employability through Recruiter Review (10%); International Outlook through International Faculty (5%) and International Students (5%); and Teaching Quality through Student-Faculty Ratio (20%). However, if the purpose of the World University Rankings is to give information to international students, it is not clear why graduate employability and international outlook only get 10% each.

Third, rankings are more subject to fluctuations as they move away from the top range, because of the error range and deviations. Thus, these rankings should be prudently used. While we want to keep our publics informed, we do not think it is something we should use for our official brochures.

Fourth, breakdown of scores according to the criteria is more instructive because they give better insight into the particular strengths and weaknesses of the institution. We are awaiting the release of the scores for the different indicators, so that we may use this to help us recognize our areas of strengths and weaknesses. For example, last year’s breakdown showed that we were very low in Peer Review, which constituted 40% of the score. This suggested that Ateneo had to work to be better known by colleagues abroad, and so we exerted more effort in internationalization, e.g., networking, linkages, and student mobility. On the other hand, we were the top-ranked Philippine university in the Recruiter Review, International Faculty, and International Students.

Finally, we maintain that rankings like these (their survey instrument, the weights they use) don’t reflect our vision/mission. Thus, we will not allow these to distract us from pursuing our goals. We will continue to work harder at being better known in the region to highlight the leadership and excellence of our faculty and students, and the institution’s contribution to national development. We will continue to do what Ateneo does best: the total formation of students and the preparation of students for leadership. This formation for leadership is what makes Ateneo the highly regarded university that it has been for almost 150 years.

As Fr. Bienvenido F. Nebres, S.J. pointed out: “Rankings in the Times survey are important because they measure how the world perceives us. But just as persons have to take what people think of them in the context of their own values and priorities, we, too, have to reflect on these perceptions and measures within our own view of our vision and mission. Thus, while we will work on strengthening our research and publications in ISI journals… we need to do this in a way that does not move us away from our vision/mission and our traditional strengths: leadership formation and contribution to national development. These have to continue to be our priorities as a Jesuit university committed to the service of faith and the promotion of justice and as a university in a Philippines, whose greatest challenge is overcoming poverty and national development.”

hahhaha. I changed it na. I remember, sometime last year, an art film that had Siquijor as the locale, got the ire of the local government after it blatantly featured the province as the land  of mambabarang

The same level of misconceptions people had had about Bohol.

In the late 90s, whist in college, if one mentioned Bohol, many classmates would think that Bohol is all Chocolate Hills and Boholanos are all naive nga ilad ilarun lang ug taxi. Ituyuk tuyuk sa Cebu. Nga ang mga household staff nga Bol-anon kung dili pauliun sa amo kung Mayo kay fiesta, mo resign jud para lang makauli.

But now, it's totally changed. They only have good things to say about Bohol.

The only downside is the EXPENSIVE hotel rates. They say more expensive than the rates in Bali and Phuket which really discourages many tourists to linger.

In so many ways, I'm proud to be a Boholano.

I had a lot of fun visiting my cousins but towards the end there was a sad story. My grandpa's sister's husband died after visiting with us he got hit with a speeding motorcycle with no headlight. He died on the way to the hospital sad ha.

Oh, I see. He's one angel already who will look after you..
God bless his soul..

Morag very bil-bilicious man?  Na dina gani madala ug hiyak, very uncontrolled na gjod.  Got too much problem there the first  time, nagsigi ug hubag ahong mga tiil, batiis, i feel like nagborot-borot  unya sakit pa gjod kaajo sa nagpa WELLNESS hilot perting sakita the whole body gjod. ( the first time I had it - gihumol naho ang ahong tiil sa Cainggit beach kay nahadlok nako-but they just called it simply panuhot).Markus advised me to visit the Dr. there coz got hard time to breath baja - Tungod sa kainit siguro, daghang tubig sa lawas na basta tigols na. Upon arriving here mikuyos baya pod sa kalooy sa Ginoo!

Well sorry out of topic... I will try it for sure. Is this not the one for sale in Bohol during Christmas? - they called it Fruit bread?

its different. that's "marang" in Cebuano

Your Siquijor photos are... bewitching, enchanting, spell-binding, pero di man siguro tinuod ang barang.

You have a third eye that sees the extraordinary in the mundane.

In so many ways, photography really, like poetry, is seeing the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary

Guisseppe sa Ma. Luisa Road has the best authentic Italian pizza in town. The port: the buffet isn't really that good. The Golden Cowrie is the best!!!!!!! bottomless rice pod. hahaha

I don't go there everyday kay medyo layo layo man gud ang Mabolo sa Urgello (where I lived). But I did go quite regularly. Moadto pud ko Pink Sisters. Labi na adtong time nga nag abot abot ang mga problema. I sometimes go to Carmelite just to cry, magpa gawas sa gibati. I just cry quietly, of course.

Oh, I see. Abi naku'g ikaw tu akung nakit-an nga ga dunguy-nguy sa Carmeliite sa una. hheheh. JUK

I've never been to the Pink Sister's convent in Banilad though. Kadtu rang Pink Sister Convent sa New Manila, duol ra pod sa Carmellite New Manila.

Mr. Scott!

I feel am in "PARADISE" addressing/calling me "Miss Bams"....thanks I like! It makes me feel a bit younger.  Markus is much younger than me through this am almost at the same level.

I must have to come over to Camiguin, there was a lady (kasakay sa plane from Singapore) she was inviting me to come over to visit her Paradise. Might be next year again in our Phils....

What is Pastilles? Di ba that fruit we called "LANZONES" makes that island more popular?

Hahhahaha

Oh, I see.

The pastilles are like bread with a yema filling.
Very succulent. Very tasty. It's only available in CDO and Camuigin Ms. Bambs
That is why if I feel like eating pastilles, I just grab the yema-flavored go nuts donuts! tastes exactly the same. Goes well with coffee. hahahah

ALONA BEACH was before very nice.....i think, it is better they will baptize the area into "PUMPBOAT BEACH"! Those Boats
parking there waiting for tourists to drive to Pamilacan Island destroys the original beauty of Alona Beach. That is what I observed.

The same thing that happened to Boracay. The tourists couldn't enjoy the beach that much, so they regulate now the banca's mooring area. Now, it's back to its good old splendor.

I hope the same thing will be done to Alona.

Scott, I'll change it to Cirilo. Haven't heard of Carlo Bautista.

You know Daryll? She told me before nga dili gyud siya magminyo. She wasn't sold out to the idea of marriage. Never gyud siya magminyo, her statement was strongly worded. Last year I found her in friendster nga minyo na sya with a baby. Akong gisukmatan "Asa naman tong imong giingon nga dili jud ka magminyo?"

"Time has changed."

I still remember that I gave Daryll a book - The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

Mao djud. Mora man nag pangalan ug artista. hahahaha

Hehehe. I think Daryll is married already.
