oh, no.  niabot na sa ato ning car bombs?  what's happening?

The other vehicles that were burned due to the explosion include a mini-dump truck and a sports-utility vehicle, according to a Philippine News Agency report. Passing motorcycles were also hurled by the impact of the explosion.

The report added that the car bomb went off as the vehicle of  Guiani-Sayadi was passing the area.

Authorities are currently in the area investigating the incident.

An escort of the mayor’s sibling, City Administrator Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi, who was riding separate motorcycles, were killed in the blast, which also injured some 30 others, some of them children who were on their way home from school.

Initial reports said the explosion came from a parked multi-cab vehicle in front of the Villa Funeral Parlor along the highway. Investigators said the bomb was likely set off from a distance as the car and escorts of Cotabato City Mayor Japal Guiani Jr. were passing by.

A television report said the blast destroyed five vehicles while fire has already spread to several houses.

hahahahaha!  a statement that belongs to ripley's.  the height of conceit.  miserable.

Quotewhy do you keep on defending hubag. he can answer for himself. he does not have to hide under a woman's skirts or pants or panties

you said it.  hubag certainly can defend himself, but from what?  it's your obsession with him that's indefensible. 

in case you missed the nuance, i reason with you, not defend hubag.  in the case of the former, it's because i flatter you with my belief that you have some brains inside your cranium.  now i'm finding out that those brains may be crewing with some ship that sank off italy.

wa ka nagpasikat nga nagsabwag ug kwarta ug balik-balik ug announce kun makahatag, pero ako nagpasikat ko tungod sa iring?

goodness me.  gi-pm ni ni votives because this is only between the two of you.  how presumptuous can you get?  you really run roughshod over people as if you own them!  disgusting. 

sorry, votives, i couldn't think of anybody here nga nalain pagsabot sa pagtabang ni balong nimo.  kaayo ra a.  personally, ang akong gilainan nga sigehan niyag balik-balik ug announce (pero ing-ana man gyod na si balong, sige na lang), which at first seemed tolerable but would later leave a bad taste in the mouth when balong mentioned that taga tigbao di kahibawo magpasalamat nga iyang gitagaan pod.

these observations have nothing to do with you, votives, and everything to do with balong.

wa man ko mag pa sikat. dili man ko kandidato ug eleksyon. what i do is just to entertain myself. giving money away keeps me "entertained" what i am really doing is share my blessings.

then give all you've got for the ultimate entertainment, and keep quiet about your bleeding heart.

meantime, you don't have to entertain yourself by scandalizing others with your posts of barely dressed women.  such genre is out of place here, okay?

Quotea gentle reminder to islander. PRAYERS and PILAK would be a good way to help votives. i did my part. i am praying for him. i give him a lttle money to tide him through this most difficult times of his life.

votives is not a charity case.  stop treating him as such.  better still, stop announcing what you did for him.  votives is an engineer, a professional who fell on hard times.  it happens to us all.  so please stop harping about the help you gave him.  it has nothing to do with your posts of barely dressed women here. 

Quotemahimo nahong i hatag privately. pero wa na tay ma basa dinhi sa forum. wa ko mag pa sikat. i remember you saying $100 is not a big amount. you have a dollar account, right? $100 is a big amount to me kay di man ko tinood nga milyonaryo.

kay nagtoo diay ka nga ngilngig basahon ang imong paghatag?  no, you're not an idiot.

Quoteshare your blessings islander. maka pa innoculate ka ug iring, di ka maka hatag ug pila ka peso ni votives.

and expect me to announce it here, and repeat it over and over, like what you're doing?  you should be the last person to tell me about helping.  but given the chance, i will also have you inoculated together with my cats.  sorry, unlike you i am an idiot.

wa god kun wa.  whether you have money or not is no concern of ours.  ikaw ra may gasigeg witwit dinhi bahin ug kwarta ba.  in that situation, because you did something differently and so publicly, natural naa gyoy moreklamo.  ayaw pagtoo nga tanan tawo makaayon sa imong pakulo.  ang apan lang nimo kay kun naay moreklamo mo-conclude dayon kag nagpasikat.  naogtas na kog reasoning with you kay ang dagan sa imong utok mangitag kalikoan nga tira-pasagad.  kay nireklamo ko bahin sa barely dressed women nga imong gi-post, conclude dayon ka nga nagpasikat ko, balik ka pa sa imong favorite nga tinderag bingka sa inyo diin nagpasabwag kag kwarta, ang tinderag bingka nagpasikat gihapon para nimo.  aber, kinsa man gyoy aswang bahin ug sikat-sikat?  ako wa baya ko moingon that someone here is an idiot.

gi polihan na ug sexy gorilla ang ahong tumba la cama. because you made a lot of brohaha about it. im not showing any pornographic pictures. i am not showing pictures of naked women. i know what is pornography. why do you have to censor me.

kong mag sigi ug tawag naho si hubagbohol ug IDIOT, wa jud ka mo badlong.

IT IS NOT FAIR

i can't blame you if your standard of pornography is triple times 10 x.  imo na nang kago.  a barely dressed woman in a provocative pose would still not sit well with the kind of crowd in this forum.  can't you ever understand that?

there you go again with your obsession with hubag.  funny that you keep believing that the word idiot is really about you.  what a burden to bear.  funnier still is how you equate the word idiot with barely dressed women and believing that both deserve equal upbraiding.

nangora ko ug kwarta gikan sa kampanaryo sa maribojoc. ahong pagumangkon ga kora. si tatzkie moncada. nag lingkod lang ko sa bleachers sa basketbolan sa simbahan. gi duol ko sa usa ka tindera ug bingka. gi ajo ajo ko ug kasaba. ga posing posing in front of the camera. kay gi pa shooting man naho sa ramasola's art. unsa man nang imong kalaki balong. binuang man nang imo. mga piang nang mga bata ana.nobody was hurt. ga inartista lang jud ang tindera.

to make themselves bigger, naay mga tawo nga mangasaba nimo. just to show kinsa sila.

you are acting just like that tindera sa bingka, to be honest.

turns out that tindera sa bingka has better brains.  thanks for your honesty.  i would like to be like her.  sensible.  nakahunahuna sa mga bata nga mangapiang.  ang nagsabwag ug kwarta ang nagpasikat.  ambot why nagpahangad pa sa kampanaryo.  di ba diay kahibawo motunol na lang ug tarong nga ihatag?  swerte lang nga way batang napiang.  the possibility in the situation was there, though.

to be honest, you irritate more than you entertain.  but irritation is tolerable.  balanced diet?  kidding.  way nagpasikat dinhi uy.  gawas tingali nimo kay conscious man ka bahin ana.  unsaon pagsikat ug wa mailhi sama nako, phew.

islander,

you are the one who is always complaining. nobody else has. just leave me alone please

what makes you think that no one else has?  aren't we done with this before?  in another thread, before someone changed your posts of barely covered women to a barely covered gorilla?  didn't fr chic also request that something be done to those posts? 

unless the rules have changed here, and i doubt if they have, THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR YOUR KIND OF FANTASIES WITH SEXUAL INNUENDOS and the graphics that go with them.  there is another website for DEPRAVED MEN and it may happen to be your source of these.  let these stay there. 

may i call the attention of this forum's administrator/s to this thread?  the initiator of this never learns.  while he may be beyond learning, must he also really be beyond paying a little respect for this forum's raison d'être?  i'm beginning to believe he believes he can run roughshod over everyone.   

it looks like he's the one in the middle of this 7 samurai movie classic.  the movie is so good, it is said, that hollywood had to do its copycat, the magnificent 7.

Stonehouse Hudson regularly photographs dogs as part of her profession. She offers pet sessions and often takes pictures of dogs at weddings. To give back, she does free shoots of hard-to-place animals for local shelters.



She said the photograph of Unger and Schoep is more than just a moment frozen in time; it’s an everlasting reminder.



“I want people to identify with this photo, and remember a time when they felt safe, loved, and cared for,” Stonehouse Hudson said. “Then I want them to channel those feelings and pay it forward! There is way too much negativity in this world â€" maybe with this one photo we can start to change things just a tiny bit.”

-excerpt from the 2012 article at http://newearthdaily.com/

“Shep falls asleep every night when he is carried into the lake. The buoyancy of the water soothes his arthritic bones. Lake Superior is very warm right now, so the temp of the water is perfect. I was so happy I got to capture this moment for John. By the way, John rescued Shep as an 8 month old puppy, and he’s been by his side through many adventures,” she continued.
Stonehouse Hudson never imagined the tender moment she captured would eventually go viral and touch the hearts of hundreds of thousands.



“John lives for this dog, and for the dog’s comfort,” she told HuffPost. “My mother has a saying, ‘Everything is for the comfort and convenience of the Dog.’  John is a prime example of this.”



-excerpt from the 2012 article at http://newearthdaily.com/

Photographer Hannah Stonehouse Hudson,  a friend of Unger’s, decided to capture the relationship between the man and his dog down by the water.

“This photo was from a last minute session,” the Bayfield, Wis., photographer told The Huffington Post in an email. “We had been trying to get together for weeks, but it kept not happening because of my travel schedule for Stonehouse.  We finally got together last Tuesday (the 31st). I had about 5 minutes to shoot and this is what I caught â€" a man and his dog. John loving his Schoep, and Schoep trusting John so much he falls asleep in the buoyancy of the water. This is in no way posed. I hate posed photos. They never, ever capture the true essence of anything.”

-excerpt from the 2012 article at http://newearthdaily.com/

John Lundy of the Duluth News Tribune interviewed John Unger, who described how Schoep saved his life.  After breaking up with his former fiancee, Unger had been having suicidal thoughts. “To be honest with you, I don’t think I’d be here if I didn’t have Schoep with me (that night),” Unger told Lundy. “He just snapped me out of it. I don’t know how to explain it. He just snapped me out of it. … I just want to do whatever I can for this dog because he basically saved my ass.” Minnesota Public Radio reports that the popularity of the photo has spurred an outpouring of support in the form of donations to help pay for laser treatment for Schoep’s arthritis.

the timeless photo, photobombed/photoshopped

http://www.cracked.com/

In April 1965, at a Vietnam demonstration in Eugene, Oregon, Diane Newell Meyer, then a senior at the University of Oregon, pinned a handwritten note on her sweater reading "Let's make love, not war", thus marking the beginning of the popularity of this phrase. A picture of Meyer wearing the slogan was printed in the Eugene Register-Guard and then a related article turned up in the New York Times on May 9, 1965. When the slogan was used in California in 1967, then Governor Ronald Reagan joked to protesters "Those guys [the protesters] look like they can't make either of both".

John Lennon claimed to be the inventor of the phrase.

wikipedia/

Make love, not war is an anti-war slogan commonly associated with the American counterculture of the 1960s. It was used primarily by those who were opposed to the Vietnam War, but has been invoked in other anti-war contexts since.

The phrase's origins are unclear; some credit Louis Abolafia. Radical activists Penelope and Franklin Rosemont helped to popularize the phrase by printing thousands of "Make Love, Not War" buttons at the Solidarity Bookshop in Chicago, Illinois and distributing them at the Mother's Day Peace March in 1965. They were the first to print the slogan.

there's no mention of race.  naa pa ba?  ang mga pikot ug mata karon, sa sa mga intsik ug intsikon... mawagtang na?

thanks for the prayer, lorenz.  you must know that every evening i search this forum for specific prayers you've posted.  every time something tugs at me, i open this forum and search for your prayers that i feel are appropriate for my hour of need.  and those needs are myriad! 

i see to it that i read hofelina's posts on saints and meditations too.  thanks to both of you.  we may have been strangers living now in different continents.  thanks to tb, we are one after all.

god is kind.  in him nothing is impossible.  we thought of a better solution---it's easier to relocate one person than 35 animals.  we thought of possible convents for my sister.  then a neighbor who is abroad offered her vacant house, for free.  wow!  my sister would be near enough for her food to be taken care of yet far enough from pets.  we all sighed in relief.
