context, context.  kun kuhaon lang ang usa ka sentence from a whole paragraph, away from the rest of what a person is trying to convey, aw, makakita gyod hinoon tag di mao, labi nag kitay magbuot ug unsay atong gustong makit-an.

example:  'our father, who art in heaven...'  diha ra kutob.  di na nato sabton ang context sa whole prayer.  unsay pagsabot?  uy, ang ginoo, tua ra diay sa langit, wa dinhi nato; gibiyaan ra man diay ta dinhi...

Below we have identified and reproduced the relevant passages in which these statements appear, with their fuller context:

I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.

This statement comes from the introduction to Dreams from My Father (p. xv), as part of a passage in which Barack Obama spoke of the difficulties of growing up as the child of mixed-race parents.  The statement is actually a portion of a parenthetical remark Obama used to explain that people who did not know him well were often surprised to find that he himself was the child of mixed-raced parents (because he looked black, and he no longer made a point of gratuitously mentioning that his mother was white):

[W]hat strikes me most when I think about the story of my family is a running strain of innocence, an innocence that seems unimaginable, even by the measures of childhood.  My wife's cousin, only six years old, has already lost such innocence.  A few weeks ago he reported to his parents that some of his first grade classmates had refused to play with him because of his dark, unblemished skin.  Obviously his parents, born and raised in Chicago and Gary, lost their own innocence long ago, and although they aren't bitter â€" the two of them being as strong and proud and resourceful as any parents I know â€" one hears the pain in their voices as they begin to have second thoughts about having moved out of the city into a mostly white suburb, a move they made to protect their son from the possibility of being caught in a gang shooting and the certainty of attending an underfunded school.

They know too much, we have all seen too much, to take my parents' brief union â€" a black man and a white woman, an African and an American â€" at face value.  When people who don't know me well, black or white, discover my background (and it is usually a discovery, for I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect I was ingratiating myself to whites), I see the split-second adjustments they have to make, the searching of my eyes for some telltale sign.  They no longer know who I am.

Coil of Rage

Claim:   List cites passages about racism taken from Barack Obama's books.

Example:   [Collected via e-mail, April 2011]

A Coil of Rage

The character of any man is defined by how he treats his mother as the years pass .... need I say more about this person below other than there is no character, no integrity but there is a ton of attitude and arrogance that defines his shallow past and hollow future .... I rest my case.

I bought and read Audacity of Hope. It was difficult to read considering his attitude toward us and everything American. Let me add a phrase he use to describe his attitude toward whites. He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE". His words not mine.

THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT
Is anyone out there awake?

Everyone of voting age should read these two books: Don't buy them, just get them from the library.

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to do so!!! We have someone with this mentality running our GREAT nation! Keep your eye on him and don't blink.

I don't care whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Conservative or a liberal, be aware of the attitude and character of this sitting President.

Origins:   The above-quoted e-mail forward reproduces passages taken from Barack Obama's two books â€" Dreams from My Father (1995) and The Audacity of Hope â€" with the presumed intent of presenting Obama as a self-declared racist.  However, these cherry-picked statements are all presented devoid of context, and some of them are reworded from the original (or apparently non-existent).

PS. Have you not tried contacting your friend?

there's no way that i can without contacting her relations, which may put them on the defensive, heaven forbid.  (am i up to something?  some business venture that might need their capital?  hehe, i'm too filipino with enough pride to save myself from such suspicions.  we were friends because we knew how to treat each other's differences and we both exercised mutual trust.  i don't want to dispel that.)

so i wish to meet her again one day only by some coincidence and not by my active moves to seek her out.  that would be good enough for me.

It was apparent that the Chinese Filipinos tried hard to assimilate into the general Filipino culture.

they did.  they do.  this is their home country now.  but such assimilation is only up to a certain point.  this is understandable.  even filipinos in the u.s. assimilate smoothly, yet they celebrate what their home country celebrates, from town fiestas to philippine independence day.  there is this need to make a connection with one's past while we try to live in the present.

here's a personal experience...

years ago, i could even say decades ago, as a young girl in tagbilaran i got to befriend someone from a known local filipino-chinese family.  she's one of the most practical friends i knew.  despite their wealth, she lived simply, sans arrogance or display of material privilege.  that's why we were friends.  

anyway (at a time when tagbilaran still didn't have discos and parties with dancing were held in residences), as a friend, she put it to me straight... don't go jamming when it's an invitation from a chinese guy, she warned.  you may notice that there would be no chinese girl in such parties.  we chinese girls are meant for another group, exclusively ours.  when they invite filipino girls, they mean to commit "chancing" and behave less gentlemanly.  (i hope this trend had stopped.)  if we chinese are made as the butt of jokes by filipinos, we chinese also make jokes out of you, she said.  we believe that filipinos are spendthrifts, spending like millionaires even when they don't have money... (i miss this friend; i heard she had settled in the u.s.)

you see, lorenz, discrimination is mutual.   

Quote from: Lorenzo on October 11, 2012, 03:06:41 PM
Growing up in the United States, I would ask my mom about our ancestry and our family history.

that attitude is quite proper.  we must look back because we are what we are due to our forebears.  some form of discrimination about what we are now and then is even positive; it makes us grounded.  it humbles us, which is a good thing.  it's another story if it's humiliating.  at this level, i'll fight to the death.

When my Lola was still alive she told me that when they were growing up as kids in Bohol, the other school children would taunt her for being Chinese.

unfortunately, this kind of discrimination is more universal than we care to admit.  consider the mexicans in the u.s.  that's how the chinese once were, in our country.  even if subsequent generations are beyond this, we can't help but take on the attitudes and biases and sins of our forebears.

Quote from: Lorenzo on October 11, 2012, 01:22:56 PM
Ang Mayor sa Tagbilaran, Lim pod.

from his father's side, no doubt.  his mother is a neri, a close relative of the late vice-president emmanuel neri pelaez (1915 â€" 2003).  it was probably this relation that gave the current tagbilaran mayor a taste for politics.

Quote from: Lorenzo on October 11, 2012, 01:22:37 PM
Even in Valencia, the mayors are mostly Chinese. Either Lim or Gan.

our father told us a wee bit of overlooked history about this, though i don't know the real score.  truth must be out there somewhere in the middle...

valencia's filipino-chinese, the forebears of the current lims included, once tried to establish themselves as storeowners in dimiao, back at a time when valencia was just a barangay of dimiao (no wonder, valencia being just 10 kilometers away). 

but dimiao was rather xenophobic.  (peace, dimiaonons.  this was long ago.  my father is from dimiao; this makes me half-dimiaonon.)  according to the story, the chinese were made to feel unwelcome, even to the point of having their place stoned sureptitiously during the night.  so they bailed out and settled in the nearest big barangay to establish themselves.  this was valencia.

through the generations, valencia became more vibrant economically, purportedly because of its chinese community, while dimiao stood still in time along with its quiet comfort and, let's face it, music and culture and tradition. 

we know how a vibrant economic activity affects the whole community.  valencia produced more professionals per capita (i have no factual basis here; it's a story i simply heard and took as truth, judging from the town's practice of hanging caratolas in front of houses describing whose residence such and such is, i.e., attorney, engineer, doctor, what-nots).  in the old days, i enjoyed reading such signs (i honestly am not used to them), even considering that "NFA" for national food authority was also a college course.

take this situation into the bigger world... that explains the vibrancy of the u.s.  a country or a place that takes in and gives chances to different peoples with different talents from different cultures is bound to develop more. 

today, it is valencia that has its own hospital that serves neighboring towns, including dimiao. 

p.s.  as i read those caratolas in valencia, i noticed too that there really was no filipino-chinese family in dimiao.  i wonder if things are still the same.  i haven't been in those two towns for a long time now (except for those occasional few minutes at the cemeteries to honor the dead).

Quote from: Lorenzo on October 11, 2012, 01:18:37 PM
Historical tid bit: During the spanish colonial era, the Chinese were considered "dogs" or the lowest of the social order. They were discriminated by ethnic Malays and by the Spanish.

Question: How did the Chinese overcome such racial discrimination? How did the lowest "social class" in the Philippines become the most prosperous in the entire country?


I'd like to hear your answer....

i'm no historian or sociologist, but any pedestrian mind can conclude that the chinese immigrants who came here worked harder and saved more in the same way perhaps that filipinos who immigrate or work abroad work harder and save more.

if we consider the history of the current filipino-chinese taipans, how they started from scratch and how they worked their backs off to achieve what they are now, we could cry.

why the name SM (for shoe mart) came to be is a case in point.

wow, WMDs in the armory of bugsay's residence.  way makaako ani ug attack.

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson looks trim and adorable in this September issue of Selfâ€"under the headline “Total Body Confidence”â€"except that her “confident” body has been digitally slimmed down. (The image at left was taken around the same time as her magazine shoot.) Two Self editors explained that the cover was not “journalism,” but “meant to inspire women who want to be their best.” Some message. (http://www.thedailybeast.com/)

Filippa Hamilton

This magazine ad for Ralph Lauren, which spurred protests outside Lauren’s Manhattan headquarters in 2009, features 23-year-old model Filippa Hamilton looking positively nonhuman.  At 5 feet 8 and 120 pounds, Hamilton (pictured on the runway at right) later said that the brandâ€"which ultimately apologized for the imageâ€"had quietly fired her for being overweight.

Beyoncé

Skin bleaching has long been a controversial topic, so when Beyoncé appeared several shades lighter than usual in a L’Oréal ad in 2008, it sparked an uproar.  There have been many shades of Beyoncé in photographs and ad campaigns, as evidenced by (from left) a 2008 L’Oréad, a 2007 cover shot from Joy magazine, and a 2009 image on the cover of Russian Glamour.

“So what: I have a little cellulite.  What curvy girl doesn’t!?” That was Kim Kardashian’s response to an unretouched image of her that was mistakenly posted on Complex magazine’s website in May 2009.  The snapshotâ€"which was quickly replaced by the Photoshopped versionâ€"showed that her waist had been cinched, her thighs slimmed, and her cellulite removed.

Kate Winslet

In January 2003, 27-year-old actress Kate Winslet was livid over a slimmed-down image of her already-long legs and board-flat stomach on the cover of British GQ.  Winslet called the retouching “excessive”â€"noting that “I do not look like that, and more importantly, I don’t desire to look like that.”  Not that that mattered to GQ.  Said editor Dylan Jones: “We do that for everyone, whether they are a size six or a size 12.” (http://www.thedailybeast.com/)

Julia Roberts and Christy Turlington

Talk about extreme: A British advertising regulatory group was reportedly so outraged over the retouching in two L'Oréal cosmetics ads that they were subsequently banned.  The group said the ads, which feature Julia Roberts for Lancome and Christy Turlington for Maybelline, were misleading because the photos had been so altered.  Lancome defended the retouching, saying Roberts’ image was an “aspirational picture” and the digital enhancement was not “directly relevant” to what the product means to achieve.  Maybelline, meanwhile, insisted the ad was accurate about what its foundation could achieve.  British politician Jo Swinson called for the ban, saying it would “send a powerful message to advertisersâ€"let’s get back to reality.” (http://www.thedailybeast.com/)

Prince William

Unlike his wife, Prince William’s not afraid to pose for magazine cameras.  On the cover of a March 2010 issue of Hello! magazine, he flashed a wry smile in jeans and a polo shirtâ€"but it was his oddly dark full head of hair that got the most attention.  Though the prince is only 30, his hairline has famously been following in his father Prince Charles’s (receding) footsteps for years.  But since a balding head isn’t exactly ideal for a magazine cover model, the photo editors of Hello! took matters into their own hands and spruced up William’s hair with some Photoshop magic.  It’s a good look for the princeâ€"we just take issue with the cover story’s headline: “The Real William.” (http://www.thedailybeast.com/)

Kate Middleton

Either Kate Middleton has ditched her beloved High Street fashionâ€"or her royal head’s been Photoshopped onto somebody else’s body.  Ever since her wedding to Prince William, the young royal has been branded a fashion icon, but she has yet to grant any fashion magazine a photo shootâ€"so what’s a magazine editor to do?  Marie Claire South Africa decided, for its August issue, to leave the matter in its readers’ hands.  A Photoshopped fan art tribute to the Duchess of Cambridge made the cover of the issue with the headline “Kate Middleton: Fashion’s New Royal Icon Wears SA’s Best Local Designs”â€"and an asterisked disclaimer: “Of course she doesn’t.  But she should.”  We’re not sure which is more alarming: Kate’s displaced head or the headlines that surround her (“My Husband Makes Millions From His Infidelity Website”; “Real Life: God Called Me on YouTube”).

Richard Borutta of Hopewell, N.J., was an alcoholic with a failing liver when he ‘died’ during a medical procedure at age 42.  Surgeons were operating on his liver when Borutta says he slipped over to the "other side" and demanded that he remain there.  He recalls feathery spirits convincing him that he would have to earn his way back by making amends with his family.

She was beaten unconscious at age 4, but Tina Sweeney of Laval, Quebec, didn't recollect her NDE until years later, with the help of a psychiatrist.  When the experience came back to her, she first recalled a period of total blackness, made comforting by the steady, warm pulsing of "creation breathing."  Then she saw herself--as a child--"standing in front of a wall of light."  In this drawing, Sweeney sees herself as a tree in front of the light.

Chris Brown says he recalls witnessing the emergency response to his angina attack in 1962.  He claims to remember watching from outside his body the ambulance ride, the doctor and nurse who cared for him and the nearly fatal mistake the nurse made, preparing to inject him with the wrong medication.  While the doctor injected him with the proper drug and began massaging his heart, Brown says he thought up a laundry list of his debts and responsibilities and concluded he was square with the earth and was ready to go.  But a "grayish and somewhat cloudy group of men" begged to differ, sending him back to his body.

yes, sir!  (ako ray sabaan nga nisubay, di kay ako ray nisubay, okay?)


ANALYSIS OF STOCK TRENDS

1.  as of posting time, there are only 19 stock certificates left.

2.  the leading bondholders are jorgeanna, hubag bohol, and wardiflex.  lollapalooza ang bugsay follow closely at their heels, nipping the soles of their shoes in the process.

3.  because of the world economic slump, the financial insecurities in europe, the coming elections in the u.s., and the political dynasties in the philippines, one never knows how these leading bondholders can increase their stakes.

4.  pikoy and lumine have loved and lost, but it's much better to have eaten and laugh the loss off because, considering the expected area of responsibility of the typhoons, they actually haven't lost anything at all.

5.  if the stock trends continue, it is safe to bet on the leading bondholders, but since a tambulo is round as the world is, i will bet on a silent horse, taga tigbao.  (i promise to frame the honors interview when this shall have come to pass.)

obyus nga lupig ang pikoy.

manaygon unya ko sa inyo, sir fd.

waray pikoy
(original; lahi ni sa waray buhok)

ako magtatanom lawiswis kawayan
akon la kan pikoy palataylatayan
salbahis nga pikoy ka waray batasan
simbulod han kwarto kan iday higdaan.

salbahis nga pikoy
salbahis nga pikoy
iya ginsaaran
nga iya hi iday
iya gyod unongan.

truly his father's son.

kay si pikoy ang gipangutana, sure ko makarina dayon nang iyang kantahon, pakapinan pa ug sayaw.

Balto


Balto with Gunnar Kaasen

Balto (1919 â€" March 14, 1933) was a Siberian Husky sled dog who led his team on the final leg of the 1925 serum run to Nome, in which diphtheria antitoxin was transported from Anchorage, Alaska, to Nenana, Alaska, by train and then to Nome by dog sled to combat an outbreak of the disease.  The run is commemorated by the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.  Balto was named after the Sami explorer Samuel Balto.  Balto died at the age of 14. (wikipedia)

i'll try lorenz.  (there's a little part in his true story that i didn't like; that part after his heroic trip when he and his team members were neglected.) 

balto is another dog's name i'll use for a future dog that i may have.

Celeste Weitz of Yuma, Ariz., says she died while she slept in her father’s arms as an infant.  She says she awoke to realize she was looking over her father's shoulder, accompanied by invisible "others," and witnessing her father's anguish.  "Upon realizing his distress was due to my not being in the body, I became somewhat upset that I was responsible for the state he was in.  This is the point I believe I chose to go back to the body."

Arthur Yensen of Parma, Idaho, is so certain he saw heaven after being injured in a 1932 car accident that he wrote a book about it (aptly titled "I Saw Heaven").  He says heaven was entirely translucent but filled with joyous people and stunning natural scenery.  Yensen remembers ethereal beings telling him he had to return to Earth.  "There will come a time of great confusion and the people will need your stabilizing influence," he quoted them as saying.  Yensen died in his 90s, after years of service to his community (including playing Santa in his local mall).  In his picture, he depicts the women who came to his rescue after his car crash and the hilly heaven that greeted him.

Gracie Sprouse of Keene, Va., recalls an NDE when she nearly drowned at age 11.  In this drawing, she shows how an angel presented her with a slideshow of her life.  As Sprouse watched, she says, "I judged and convicted myself" for bad things she had done to her sisters.

At 6, Scott was hit by a car and knocked unconscious for several hours.  During those hours, Scott recalls recalls an out-of-body experience where he fruitlessly swiped at his father with a phantom's arm and yelled at his older brother to play with him (his brother told his parents he could hear Scott's voice at the time of the accident).  Then he says he was whisked down a dark ‘wind tunnel’ that took him to a monstrous mass of rotting flesh he calls the Devil.  The Devil (at left, drawn by Scott shortly after the accident, and at right, redrawn five years later) accused him of being bad and threatened to keep him forever.  Scott says he was comforted by his dead uncle, still shrouded in the hospital sheet that covered him on his death bed, and then found himself enclosed in a 'dungeon' that eventually opened up to consciousness.

Tonya was a young adult when she nearly drowned in a backyard swimming pool.  While she was unconscious, Tonya says an ethereal, radiant woman reached lovingly toward her. She says the same woman reappeared to her years later when her daughter was attacked by a dog and needed facial surgery.  Tonya calls the woman her guardian angel.

Tannis Prouten, depressed and severely underweight at age 20, drew this diagram of her extrabody experience.  She described a wave of warm lovingness that moved up her body from her toes, propelling her toward a corner in the living room.  "I felt like ducking, as the ceiling was only an inch from me," she recalls.  But Prouten says she passed through the wall and into darkness, where glowing spheres that "seemed like ... spiritual presences" watched her follow an unwavering path towards an unknown destination.  Eventually dark faded to light and Prouten recalls experiencing complete euphoria.  "I fell madly in love with the SPIRIT OF TRUTH!" she writes in Atwater’s book.

Crossing Over


El Bosco
The Ascent of the Blessed

Descriptions of near-death experiences (NDEs to those in the know) date back to Plato's ‘Republic,’ and though the gods have changed, the experiences have often been religious.  Hieronymus Bosch (El Bosco) painted the pathway to death as a tunnel in "The Ascent of the Blessed," (left) depicting souls drifting skyward, carried by winged beings to an illuminated rapture. His painting captured the notion that heaven could set tortured souls at peace.  In modernity, the art world is less interested in the road between this life and the next, but many people who claim to have experienced NDEs have drawn their experiences.  These drawings and others have been published in P.M.H. Atwater's "The Big Book of Near-Death Experiences."

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/

But that dimensionâ€"in rough outline, the same one described by countless subjects of near-death experiences and other mystical statesâ€"is there.  It exists, and what I saw and learned there has placed me quite literally in a new world: a world where we are much more than our brains and bodies, and where death is not the end of consciousness but rather a chapter in a vast, and incalculably positive, journey.



for the whole article of this very inspiring and wholly interesting article by a neurosurgeon based on his personal experience, here's the link:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/10/07/proof-of-heaven-a-doctor-s-experience-with-the-afterlife.html

There is no scientific explanation for the fact that while my body lay in coma, my mindâ€"my conscious, inner selfâ€"was alive and well.  While the neurons of my cortex were stunned to complete inactivity by the bacteria that had attacked them, my brain-free consciousness journeyed to another, larger dimension of the universe: a dimension I’d never dreamed existed and which the old, pre-coma me would have been more than happy to explain was a simple impossibility.


‘You have nothing to fear.’ ‘There is nothing you can do wrong.’
The message flooded me with a vast and crazy sensation of relief.
(Photo illustration by Newsweek; Source: Buena Vista Images-Getty Images)

When I entered the emergency room that morning, my chances of survival in anything beyond a vegetative state were already low.  They soon sank to near nonexistent.  For seven days I lay in a deep coma, my body unresponsive, my higher-order brain functions totally offline.

Then, on the morning of my seventh day in the hospital, as my doctors weighed whether to discontinue treatment, my eyes popped open.

Very early one morning four years ago, I awoke with an extremely intense headache.  Within hours, my entire cortexâ€"the part of the brain that controls thought and emotion and that in essence makes us humanâ€"had shut down.  Doctors at Lynchburg General Hospital in Virginia, a hospital where I myself worked as a neurosurgeon, determined that I had somehow contracted a very rare bacterial meningitis that mostly attacks newborns. E. coli bacteria had penetrated my cerebrospinal fluid and were eating my brain.

In the fall of 2008, however, after seven days in a coma during which the human part of my brain, the neocortex, was inactivated, I experienced something so profound that it gave me a scientific reason to believe in consciousness after death.

I know how pronouncements like mine sound to skeptics, so I will tell my story with the logic and language of the scientist I am.

Although I considered myself a faithful Christian, I was so more in name than in actual belief.  I didn’t begrudge those who wanted to believe that Jesus was more than simply a good man who had suffered at the hands of the world.  I sympathized deeply with those who wanted to believe that there was a God somewhere out there who loved us unconditionally.  In fact, I envied such people the security that those beliefs no doubt provided.  But as a scientist, I simply knew better than to believe them myself.

The brain is an astonishingly sophisticated but extremely delicate mechanism.  Reduce the amount of oxygen it receives by the smallest amount and it will react.  It was no big surprise that people who had undergone severe trauma would return from their experiences with strange stories.  But that didn’t mean they had journeyed anywhere real.

Heaven Is Real: A Doctor’s Experience With the Afterlife


Dr. Eben Alexander
Oct 8, 2012

When a neurosurgeon found himself in a coma, he experienced things he never thought possibleâ€"a journey to the afterlife.

As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon of near-death experiences. I grew up in a scientific world, the son of a neurosurgeon.  I followed my father’s path and became an academic neurosurgeon, teaching at Harvard Medical School and other universities.  I understand what happens to the brain when people are near death, and I had always believed there were good scientific explanations for the heavenly out-of-body journeys described by those who narrowly escaped death.

In May 1994, Japan’s Culture Broadcasting Network played a recording of Hachiko barking which had been made from a broken record repaired with laser surgery.  Millions of people tuned in to listen to Hachiko barking, 59 years after his death.  Each April, tens of thousands visit the dog’s statue at the Shibuya train station, during a festival in which food offerings are left at the base of the dog’s statue, in hopes that his loyal spirit will visit all humans.

Hachiko, the Dog Who Made Richard Gere Cry

March 31, 2008
http://www.pajamadeen.com/

No leading lady or heartthrob actor likes to compete with dogs or babies onstage. It’s a no-win situation. Richard Gere, however, was moved to tears by the true story of Hachiko, an Akita-ken who became a national symbol of faithfulness, loyalty and love in Japan, and filming of the movie Hachiko: A Dog’s Story has just wrapped up in Bristol, Rhode Island. Gere, 58, stars as Parker, an American professor, in a parallel to the life of Eizaburo Ueno (1871-1925), a professor at the Imperial Agricultural University (now Tokyo University).
