ayaw na ana bi.  wa na tay unggoyay bi.  as you may know, naay mga sensitive intawon ug mga sensibilities nato dinhi. 

di man god tanan parehag kasingkasing ug mga engineers, por ehemplo sama ni vots ug piks o ni bugs ug bolbs nga mohisgot na gani dinhi ug brad pitt, kahibawo sila nga sila nay gipasabot.  no, life is not that way.

so this little request, lord hubag.  kung pwede lang sana, expunge the word unggoy from your vocabulary.  let it be auto-corrected.  translate it to latin if you must.  aron way hasol because, kun magkalisod, dalawang kuto ka lang.  just do it.

Dear CJ Islander,

Thank you for your concern. Please rest assured that your heartfelt advice is well-taken. You will not find me, in thunder or in rain, using this word, be it in endearment or otherwise. Not even with an M-16 pointed at me, forcing me to say this vile appellation, no.

With all my best wishes, swinging blithely I remain,

Yours faithfully,
Botoy

P.S. All this just made me realize, wistfully, that I should not have given up my seminary studies. Who knows, I could have become a primate by now.

He he...

Be that ONE today, because...

Developing a healthy self-concept takes deliberate planning and concentrated effort. It takes acknowledging your intrinsic value as a human being, and then working to acquire the skills needed to confront the many challenges and adversities we encounter in life.

When you posses a healthy self-concept, nothing can rattle you, or take you off your stride. You are confident,  poised, and assured because you know you are equipped to handle whatever comes your way. -- http://www.essentiallifeskills.net/

What constitutes a healthy self-concept?

The ability to know yourself; to be able to assess your strengths, weaknesses, talents and potential.

The ability to love and accept yourself as you are, knowing that you can improve and develop any aspects of yourself that you choose.

The ability to be honest with yourself and be true to who you are and what you value.

The ability to take responsibility for your choices and actions.

Therefore, a healthy self-concept must derive from within. Instead of being dependent upon validation from external sources, or the wavering opinions of others, self-esteem must result from self-reflection, self-analysis and self-acceptance.

To be sure, a healthy self-concept is more than  having high self-esteem. While high self-esteem is important, the term itself can be misleading since self-esteem is largely based on your 'feelings' of self-worth and encompasses your 'beliefs' about being valuable and capable. It consists of your self-image, either positive or negative, at an emotional level.

When based on emotion, self-esteem can be wavering and vulnerable to threats. Likewise, if it's obtained mostly from external factors, such as an attractive physical appearance, or being popular, you can feel on top of the world one day, and find yourself disillusioned or disappointed on the next.

Today we live in an increasingly complex and multifaceted world. In order to meet the challenges we now face, it is more important than ever to build a solid personal foundation. A foundation consisting of self-knowledge, self-love and self-confidence.

What is your self-concept?

It is the understanding and knowledge you have of your own existence and how you see yourself in relation to others and to your surroundings.

In order to possess a positive or healthy self-concept you must:

Know yourself
Love yourself
Be true to yourself.

Everything begins and ends with you!

Your self-concept is how you view yourself.  How you view yourself, determines how you will experience life. If you see yourself in a positive and healthy light, your life experiences will be positive and healthy. It doesn't mean, of course, that your life will be free of challenges and adversity, just that you will have a healthier approach to dealing with them. If your opinion of yourself is shaky and fragile, you will find life's challenges overwhelming and at times, insurmountable.

congratulations, fr chic!  more pictures in the coming days, please.

kanang kataposan dinha, kanang refuge of sinners, it brings back poignant memories of my late eldest brother.  he used to give us (my sister and i) surprise visits and noticed that every so often there's someone or other who's on sleepover, usually former college friends who ran away from home or had taken temporary refuge to heal a broken heart.  (funny, even his own daughter ran to us once to escape her quarrel with her mom.) 

my brother took to calling our place "el refugio de los pecadores".  somehow that stuck with me as something to smile about.  oh, that great brother.  i'm missing him again...

Oh, life's little ironies. But then again, it's a surefire formula for healing. It takes one to know one, as the adage goes...

Hmm, you remind me of the anecdote about a man holding a little bird in his hand. He asks you if the bird is alive or dead. If you say the bird is dead, he opens his hand and releases it. If you say it's alive, he squeezes it to show you a dead bird.

The moral of my story above is, sa imong panggigil, gipislit nimog taman ang round eggs that you fancied mao nga nangahimong triange!

Civil rights activists said a nationwide law could be used to halt gay rights demonstrations and oppress the LGBT community. Although homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993, prejudice against it remains high.

Gay rights campaigner Nikolai Alexeyev said the law amounted to to "a call to action for the scum who committed this crime".
"It essentially gives these people carte blanche to commit such crimes," he said of the law.

However, there are no official figures on anti-gay crime in Russia, as most cases go unreported or are not classified as hate crime by police.

Lawyer Maria Kozlovskaya, who works with the LGBT community, points to an internet poll late last year that found 15 percent of about 900 LGBT people surveyed in Russia said they had been physically attacked at least once in the previous 10 months. -- http://au.ibtimes.com/

A law banning the spread of gay “propaganda” could be passed this month. The bill outlaws "propaganda of sodomy, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism" targeted at minors.

Acts of open same-sex affection, even a kiss, and events promoting gay rights will result in fines of up to 500,000 roubles (£11,000) under the new legislation. Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said the bill would protect the majority of Russians from discrimination by gays and lesbians.

Madonna was fined in August 2012 for speaking out in favour of gay rights in St Petersburg after the city government passed legislation - which she dubbed a "ridiculous atrocity" - that imposed fines for spreading "homosexual propaganda" that could "damage the health, moral and spiritual development" of minors.

The victim’s naked body was found in the courtyard of an apartment building in Volgograd. Kunitskaya admitted the attack has been a hate crime, in a rare admission from authorities on the issue of homophobia in the country. The victim apparently had been drinking with the two men, while celebrating Victory Day, which is national holiday in Russia.

Putin, who has stoked traditional religious values since he came back to the president’s post last year, aims to give the Orthodox Church - a staunch opponent of homosexuality rights - a more public role as a moral authority in Russia.

Andrei Gapchenko, a senior investigator in Volgograd, said one of the suspects had admitted torturing the victim.

"Four young people were drinking ... And one of them already knew, he'd heard from others, that he (the victim) was of an untraditional sexual orientation," he told Reuters.

"He asked him the question and the victim said yes .. After that, one of them hit him, he fell to the floor, and then they brutally beat him, set fire to the clothes he was wearing, slashed his anal area and then stuck three bottles in there, again beat him and then threw a 20-kg stone onto his head."

The brutal death of a 23-year-old man in Russia’s southern city of Volgograd in an apparent homophobic attack has put the spotlight on rising violence against gay under president Vladimir Putin’s neo-conservative rule, according to gay activists.

The man was beaten, sexually assaulted with beer bottles in his anus, set on fire and had his head crushed with a heavy stone by a 22-year-old man and a former convict, aged 27.

"He was raped with beer bottles and had his skull smashed with a stone," Natalia Kunitskaya, a spokeswoman for the Volgograd region branch of the Investigative Committee, told AFP.
