naa ko officemate sa una, can't blame her for dyeing her hair kay bata pa kaayo giuban na, problema lang kay nasipyat sa kolor ang parlor, nahimo siyang redhead.  aw, gitawag nako siyag "rooster".  unsaon, puwa na man ang iyahang tapay.

Negative humility? Hmm, that's a new one on me...

bag-o tingaling scientific term, hehehe.

madugay pa kog pangita sa thread where it is revealed that fr chic is an acupuncturist.  so dinhi na lang nako i-post. 

aber, naay mga medical doctors who are also acupuncturists.  but this is the first time i've learned that we have a priest who is one, right here at tb. 

sa way pupananghid sa hingtungdan, come one, come all!  suwayi ninyo pagpa-acupuncture kang fr chic kun swertehon mo nga maka-chance.  i swear by this technique, honest.

Hmm, asa man ani ang para nimo, Ms. Isle?

ask na man lang gyod ka, aw, tubagon.  kini:

14.) Anti-vertigo (dizziness) - yes, tigkalipong ko, usahay mangutana na gani ko sa uban kun naa bay earthquake tungod sa akong kalipong.  tagsa ra hinoon, and so far, wa na ko malipong.  but it's too soon to credit mx3 for this.

17.) Anti-inflammatory (cox-2 inhibitor; like Vioxx & Celebrex but without side effects) - so far, wa na koy sinusitis attack; wait and see pa ko hinoon.

from list of additional benefits:

9.) Anti-osteoporosis (can be measured) - nagdahom na lang ko nga matabangan akong scoliotic spine.  human na kog acupuncture nga saludo ko.  hinaot nga di ko ma-osteoporosis.

as for you, hubs dear botoy, i highly recommend mx3 in keeping with #12 sa first list of benefits.

a great story about a great man.  kalami kun maoy magdaghan.

I thought the ideology from the left is passe but here you are displaying your leftist ideology. Planktons? Are you talking about planktons? This organism are all over the oceans of the world. Try to look at the map of the world and point with your finger where Panglao is?

ugh.  what have planktons got to do with ideology?  i am leftist just because I mentioned planktons?  am i discussing my views here with an octopus? 

what is more passe than a leftist ideology is for one to carry one's black-and-white politics of one's youth like a turtle carries its shell and start wondering why other creatures have no shells on their backs. 

no, thanks.  i've dipped my feet in panglao.  i don't need to point at it with my finger or my toe on a world map.  besides, i can pass off as a little mermaid at home with the planktons.

the little mermaid had enjoyed this discussion.  with thanks.

how do i know?  i passed high school biology, that's how i know.  i've also read up the pros and cons of this project sans ideological stereotypes.  unsa man diay ang mahitabo kun pananglit matuman ang reclamation project, ang manginhasay sa una mahimong hoteliers?

There you are! you got the point! So it is not about the environment but capitalists lacking capital. As far as I know developers of this project are from the Arab world. So they will be bringing petro dollars to Bohol. This is a bonanza but I believe there is truth to the rumor that Filipinos adopt in their way of life... the culture of envy.

yes, i'm here, and unfortunately you didn't get my point.  i mentioned this detail on capital because you call those who oppose the project as “leftists” who are against “capitalism”.  the mere mention of "capitalists" is not about doing away with the environment.  the game is football and you want to score with slam dunks?  by the way, sacrificing one's environmental diversity for petro dollars is no cause for envy.

meanwhile, please read up on the requirements of putting up a project such as this, which the proponents are said to have failed to meet.  the links:

Passe political ideology? Obama's program of government is the greening of America advocated by leftist ideology. He (Obama) is a leftist. He was elected president for being a community organizer. Are you not aware of that? IPCC is a powerful committee in the UN and all leftist governments all over the world agree to this IPCC. At present leftist governments want to take over the economy of the world. Global warming is their rallying cry.

heavens.  now you're in the position to call another country's president as leftist.  no, i'm not aware that he was elected for being a community organizer.  i doubt too that americans who voted him into office had that as their reason.  to be concerned with the environment is to be leftist?

the  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the UN is a leftist concern?  worse, leftist governments want to take over the world's economy?  please share more research-based claims with references and not imaginary figments of paranoia.  and please tell me this is not science fiction nor manga comics.

If I was 20, I would have been against anything - just anything.

QuoteNow, I'm for all kinds of developments... from self to infrastrcutures. Whatevah!  I'm a Pinoy and envious of what I've seen elsewhere. 

admittedly, so am i, most especially of europe and its heritage. 

but to each his country's own time.  it's great to develop (materially, in this sense), but without losing sight of our priorities.  we have become what we are with what we have, and i believe we like what we are.  why be like, say, singapore, which developed so fast while its population, socially pressured to reach for the skies materially, have become generally cold and inconsiderate (with apologies to the exceptions). 

meanwhile, despite of or because of our pace of material development, we can still say that we have remained true to our faith and values and traditions and have remained a smiling people.

In this case the church is conservative.

as obama is a liberal.

is the church not leftist in this case for you because it is not opposing a project by capitalists?  what if we find out that it's a project by colonialists instead?  will the opponents this time be called natives?  just asking.

well, some of those who oppose the reclamation project may not give a whit about ideology at all when the very survival of their source of livelihood is at stake.

   If he is still a Communist at 30, I will do it then.

Who are against the reclamation development of Panglao... the capitalists?

because it comes naturally to you to brand people opposed to certain projects as “leftists”, let me first share with you what my understanding is of the word (thanks to merriam-webster), which i believe is far from those so-called “leftists” of your youth in the '60s and '70s that you seem to carry over until now like a turtle carries its shell.
 
In politics, the Left, left-wing and leftists are people or views which generally support social change to create a more egalitarian society.  They usually involve a concern for those in society who are disadvantaged relative to others and an assumption that there are unjustified inequalities (which right-wing politics views as natural or traditional) that should be reduced or abolished.

the way i see it, leftists are not necessarily anti-capitalist, as you claim.  they're simply the opposite of rightists.  and rightists need not be capitalists.

so what is a capitalist?  he is but “A wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism”.

Capitalism, meanwhile, is “an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market”. 

i cannot imagine that opponents of the reclamation project like the PARE are leftists.  some are local government officials, others are fisherfolk out to defend their source of livelihood, still others are environmentalists.  it's not fair to lump all of them together as leftists and the likes of you and those who favor the project as rightists.  besides, it's silly to inject ideologies to a proposed tourism infrastructure project.  we're not talking of a new form of government here, right?     

Quote from: Way Nada on June 09, 2012, 02:53:15 PM
This is also the reason why California, New York, Ohio and other American states are bankrupt because of the leftist union in America. Wisconsin is trying to recover through the reform programs of Gov. Scott Walker.

in 2010, yes, along with 29 other states, according to one data.  we all know the role of wall street in the world of finance.  well, wall st. isn't exactly leftist, huh? 

wall street greed, american overconsumption and extreme indebtedness of the u.s. economy are just three of the myriad of causes of american recession that eventually became global.  besides, no leftist union in the u.s., if ever such a kind exists as you claim, can bankrupt the whole country; no analysis mentions such leftist union as the cause of the recession.  if ever you come across one, and maybe you have because of your stated claim, please share your reference.  i can hardly wait to read it.

Quote from: Way Nada on June 09, 2012, 02:53:15 PM
Normally leftists all over the world always try to prevent development initiated by capitalists.

my apologies if i wonder what your basis is for such a sweeping claim (i.e., “normally leftists all over the world always try to prevent development initiated by capitalists”).  it may not stand scrutiny because it may also mean that leftists won't prevent development initiated by other sectors other than those by capitalists.   

QuoteFor example is the EPZA in Bataan. Developed in the 1970's  during the time of Marcos when the chinese people were still raising in their hands Mao's red book. The workers in Bataan were infiltrated by leftists and wanted to bankrupt the processing zone through labor strikes. The workers were told by their leftist patrons to destroy the machinery making the European investors shied away from the Philippines and went to China.

i shudder at the jumps to a series of conclusions here; from leftists all over the world preventing development projects to china's transformation because those leftists drove the europeans to it.

oh, one more thing, why equate capitalism with government projects and dub those against these as leftists?  is the world that black and white?

QuoteAnd we can see the transformation of China today.

china was transformed because the europeans went to it from the philippines, where they shied away from leftists?  incredible.

despite china's transformation today (thanks to its “leftist” aka communist and thus anti-capitalist government, if we have to go by your definition), the Bataan Export Processing Zone (BEPZ) exists today. 

[It] is located in a cove at the southern tip of the Bataan Peninsula. It is about 172.3 kilometers from Manila via the Bataan Provincial Expressway and North Luzon Expressway, Gapan-Olongapo Road and Roman Highway. It has a total land area of 153.9km² representing 12% of the total land area of Bataan. (wikipedia)

lastly, china, a communist country (leftist to you) fired its economy with capitalistic ventures.  by making the country an example of enviable economic development, you've just revealed that being leftist and capitalist can go hand in hand after all. 

thus, "normally all leftists all over the world try to prevent development initiated by capitalists" it isn't.

A Verbatim Account of Cayce's Afterlife Journeys

The following is the only waking description of his journey in the trance state, taken verbatim from comments he made at a public lecture:

"I see myself as a tiny dot out of my physical body, which lies inert before me." [out-of-body] [orbs]


"I find myself oppressed by darkness and there is a feeling of terrific loneliness." [the void]

"Suddenly, I am conscious of a white beam of light, knowing that I must follow it or be lost." [the light]

"As I move along this path of light I gradually become conscious of various levels upon which there is movement." [the tunnel]  [various afterlife realms]


"Upon the first levels there are vague, horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees in nightmares." [hell realm]

"Passing on, there begins to appear on either side misshapen forms of human beings with some part of the body magnified." [another hell realm]

"Again there is change and I become conscious of gray-hooded forms moving downward. Gradually, these become lighter in color." [heavenly realm]  [guides]

"Then the direction changes and these forms move upward and the color of the robes grows rapidly lighter." [higher heavenly realms]

"Next, there begins to appear on either side vague outlines of houses, walls, trees, etc., but everything is motionless." [I believe this realm is the physical realm which would appear outside of time.]

"As I pass on, there is more light and movement in what appear to be normal cities and towns. With the growth of movement I become conscious of sounds, at first indistinct rumblings, then music, laughter, and singing of birds. There is more and more light, the colors become very beautiful, and there is the sound of wonderful music. The houses are left behind; ahead there is only a blending of sound and color." [cities of light]  [heavenly music]


"Quite suddenly I come upon a Hall of Records. It is a hall without walls, without ceiling, but I am conscious of seeing an old man who hands me a large book, a record of the individual for whom I seek information." [a good description of the Temple of Knowledge that people refer to in other NDEs]

"Life is continuous, and is infinite." (Edgar Cayce)

i cannot give a credible personal opinion because i cannot say "been there, done that" to this question.  however, i can't help but think of edgar cayce (1877-1945) whose books i explored until a very nice jesuit priest who saw me lug one around offered to exchange it for any other book i wanted except about parapsychology or theosophy.

while i'm most comfortable with the catholic church's stand on death, i thought there's no harm in understanding the stand of other philosophies.  i must say that there's a line that connects all these beliefs by whatever name we call them.

edgar cayce is the most famous american psychic and one among those whose near-death experience is on record.  the following is an example. 

bana, pag-uli gikan abroad:  darling, nganong namabdos man ka sa lubot?  ang imong ilong... mora na man kag si vilma santos?

asawa:  si darling pod uy.  wa kay makita sa imong kuwartang pinadala kun di ko asenso-looking.

1. it does not follow that leftist ideology is involved just because some people are against certain government projects.  a case in point is the church's stand against the rh bill.  does that make the church leftist?

2. the reasons given by opponents of the reclamation are there for the taking.  those environmental concerns don't need a passe political ideology to lean on. 

3. talk of capitalism, and here we have a capitalist who sorely lacks capital for a project like this reclamation.

4.  no shallow sea water is ever unproductive.  it may not have whales and sharks, but it has planktons and other organisms that contribute to the biodiversity, and thus the very existence, of the whole environment. 

da, tagam lagi si mga iya.

naa mi silingan, nausab na gyod siya tanan.  pero di gihapon gwapa kay wa man mobagay sa iyang whole face ang iyang bag-ong ilong nga taliwtiw.  ang kataw-anan kay madunggan ang comments sa bana, unsaon dagko man silag tingog nga molanog pag-abot sa amo. 

magsige siyag aguy kay di katindog kay sakit kuno iyang tiyan ug hawak tungod sa liposuction.  kinahanglan pa intawon alalayan.  ingon pa sa bana: sige, sigeha pa nang imong mga arte...

mora na hinoog sine ang duha.  ako nahimong tsismosa.  gipahibawo na baya sila nako nga madunggan namo sila, to be fair.  dagko man gihapon silag tingog.

maayo gani kay wa nganli sa tinuod nilang ngan ning mga bol-anona ni.  hahay.  paita sa mga bana; antos ug kamingaw sa gawas, ang kwartang gipadala gamiton diay para padakog sampot ug pataliwtiw sa ilong.  tv and magazines showing prettified women is wreaking havoc to our values.  sayang.

meanwhile, i have my misgivings about the news item...

kini si news reporter dennis tabar obviously has the mandaue city government as part of his beat.  so ang iyang source, judging from the details, is the city government's p.r./information office.  (to his credit, at least wa niya ibutang sa first paragraph ang mga politicians.)

while the mother's situation could be very real, the way the news is written tilts toward the city council, mayor and vice-mayor at the end.  the source obviously is the vice-mayor's office kay naghisgot ug council, of which the vice-mayor is the presiding officer, unya ginganlan pa gyod ang vice-mayor nga mao pay nakatabang as of news release.  (roger paller, the city government's tigpamaba, is also a mediaman.)  arang sakaya sa politicians ani.  whew!  tinapolan nga p.r. handling.

kapila ra man unta pagmando ni mayor sa mandaue city dswd uy.       

i wonder if the news reporter even bothered to go to the woman in need to check out for himself.  the address given is just the whole barangay.  unsaon man na, tagsa-tagsaon ug tuktok tanan balay kun naay gustong motabang nga private citizens?  mapugos ang gustong motabang ug adto sa mandaue city government to coordinate.  sakyan na pod sa publicity. 

(sorry for sounding so jaded about these things.  kun wa lang unta ang last 2 paragraphs sa news item, di unta ko gagohan sa reporter.)             

puwera sa mga ngan sa mga politiko nga kinahanglan gyod ipatik bisag estorya ra taman sa luod...

dia pay angay buhaton pod; unta nga kuyogan ning inahana pag-adto sa regional consular office (rco), with address at:

4th level, Pacific Mall-Metro Mandaue U.N. Avenue corner M.C. Briones St., Brgy. Estancia, Mandaue City, Cebu. 

tabangan ug fill out ug certain form, which will then go through a process, all the way to the philippine embassy in qatar whose consular officers will then get in touch with her husband to request him to send money.  kun naay mandaue-based nga tblander dinhi karon, hinaot unta nga makatabang aning paagiha. 

additional paagi: adto sa dswd, philippine charity sweepstakes office, ug cebu caritas.  sure ko nga these institutions are a real help.  i believe the pcso may even pay for the hospital bills.  it's a matter of knowing where to go. 

unsaon man gyod intawon nga kinahanglan man gyod moadto ang gakinahanglan ug tabang kay daghan baya ang mangingilad.  morag lisod ni kay unsaon man tawon sa inahan pagbiya sa iyang mga anak kun mao niy kahimtang.  chicken-and-egg puzzle man gyod ni nga situwasyon.

tungod lagi kay budget airline, no frills gyod.  ang abang anang tube sa airport kay around 7,000 pesos for each use by airlines.  usahay ra mogamit ang cebu pacific aning tube.  so, kun asa mo-landing, molakaw ka pa padung sa airport terminal.  kun layo gyod kaayo ang gilandingan sa airplane, usahay naay bus.  mas barato tingali ang abang nila sa bus. 

nag-uwan pag-abot nako sa manila.  nagdagan intawon kong gasaguyod ug maleta padung sa terminal.  naka-bonus ug colds. 

there really are lots of surprises when one travels on a budget.  well, wa man hinoon koy ambisyon nga mo-travel in style gawas kun makapalit kog kaugalingong eroplano pareha ni sir balong.  

one thing i noticed about these details are the considerable taxes.  what are "other taxes"?  i'm even paying for the fuel surcharge, which is nothing but a tax on aviation fuel!  wa pa nay labot sa travel tax nga bayran sa airport mismo.  it's not that much fun in the philippines because with all these taxes we still end up defensive about our public services.

hehe, nagbayad pa ko sa web admin fee kay i bought my ticket online.  nakasalagma bisag dugay kong nahuman kay nahadlok ko.  the clincher?  napugos ug gamit ug credit card finally.  mahadlok baya kog credit card, pero di man diay ta kapalit online kun way credit card.

diay example, per my latest roundtrip (manila-cebu-manila).  kun promo ang basihan, the total would have been only 2,377 pesos.  (one-way ra ang promo fare kay wa ko kaabot sa promo fare sa pabalik sa manila.)  thus:

BASE FARE:                           PhP 2,377.

TRAVEL FEES AND TAXES: 
other taxes                                       79.20
PH-VAT                                           383.04
aviation security fee                           15.
fuel surcharge                                  800.

OTHER FEES:
web admin fee                                  160.
travel insurance                                250.*
seat reservation                                200.*
prepaid baggage (15kg)                     300.*

TOTAL                                           4,564.24

*one can opt out; di sad ko mobiyahe nga way insurance uy.  mag-unsa na lang kun wa koy seat reservation ug wa koy maleta.  i noticed nga naay mga pasahero nga ingon ana.  moadto lang tingalig cebu para manihapon.

anyways, way kuti kun sa pal pa ni.  way pili-pili didto kay kurambos.  insured tanan, naay charge ang baggage bahalag naay i-check-in o wa, etc.  kun pal pa tong akong flight, morag mokabat ug 11,000+ pesos ang roundtrip tingali, more or less.

kun promo fare imong napalit unya di ka madayon sa biyahe, ty imong money.  not a cent is reimbursed because it's one of the terms.

from this promo amount, anam na ug saka ang bayronon, with travel tax, fuel surcharge, insurance, seat reservation, luggage check-in, ug uban pa.  in other words, kining ilang advertised promo fare, mora rag giingon nga ang plete ug taxi padung sa airport 40 pesos ra.  flag down ra diay to.  still, mas barato gihapon ang cebu pacific kun totalon.  wa ko kahibawo sa ubang budget airlines kay pal ra man ug cebu pacific ang akong nasakyan so far sa domestic flights nato.         

ever since i realized that cebu pacific fares are way cheaper than pal, nag-switch na kog suki nga airline.  on any given day, katunga ra gyod more or less ang plete sa cebu pacific. 

kana hinoong advertised promo nila is the barest of essentials.  never gyod nga mao ra nay imong mabayran.  mora ra nag bayronon because such airline exists and you as a passenger exist.  kun taxi pa, flag down sa wa pa molarga.

mas mahal pa ang plete padung sa manila kun di ka-timing, like buying 6 months ahead.

di mo ani mamiligro ni bugsay.

Unsay "ayayon"? Is that Tsaynis?

ooops, di ko mangilog sa bajo de masinloc, ekskyus me.  akoy tag-iya ani.  ayayon is cebuano (kun gusto ka, surigaonon, hehe).  di ba diay ayayon ning tawo nga reklamador ug gamayng sakit, di moantos?  kanang gitawag ug low threshold of pain?

2. Seizures. Epileptic seizures are sometimes accompanied by a déjà vu experience, leading some researchers to suggest that all déjà vu might be caused by small brain seizures. There is also data demonstrating that déjà vu occurs when certain brain regions are electrically stimulated.

oh, no.  there goes the almost "paranormal" strange feeling.  science is really cold.

Hmm, déjà vu is a fairly common experience, although strangely in my case more common is jamais vu.

hahaha!  only two things: either you're a martian or a pure balingsyanhon trying to forget those corn trees.  

thanks!  i hope to be physically perfect again soon.  no longer the 100-meter dash runner that i used to be, for sure, but just fit enough not to get depressed for no reason.

This reminds me of a story my father  narrated to us,  it happened  sa bata pa siya diin didto
sa bukid may namatay ug  nagdali ug himog  lungon  ang mga silingan kay dili palapasan ug 24 hours  kon
wala gi embalsamar ilubong dayon.
Buntag namatay ug anang pagkagabii nagbilar sila ug kalit lang nilihok ang minatay sulod sa lungon mentras
nagrosaryo ang mananabtan. Nibangon ang minatay ug  nangayo ug tubig kay layo kaayo iyang  panaw  ug  grabe
kainit ug kauhaw. Nagdinaganay  ang mga tawo pero dunay usa sa pamilya nibalik ug  nakita nga buhi gyud ang
gihaya naglingilingi pa kono nahibulong nganong nanagan ang mga tawo.
Nabuhi gyud to siya ug niabot  ug napulo ka tuig usa pa gyud namatay...

hahaha!  at least, happy ending.  giunsa kaha tuod pakahibawo nila nga patay na gyod tinuod after 10 years?  wa ba kaha mag-andam na pod ug panagan ang manalabtay?

i am taking 20mg atorvastatin calcium, daily at bedtime.  the doctor said i have to see him again before my 30-day regimen ends so he can check the development.  i just read through this medicine's side effects; so far, so good.  but how come this has calcium?

cool gyod, pero wa na lang unta siya mag-madre.  kandaiya ra god tag roles aning kalibotana; doctors heal, teachers teach, carpenters build, poets write, butchers sell meat, prostitutes sell theirs, etc., and nuns?  where in the annals of christian history is it said that they can share with the world a thing or two about masturbation?  nuns aren't trained for that.  she should have chosen to become a psychologist who specializes in human sexuality, away from the cloister.  mora ra man ning madreha ug si tito sotto of 'eat, bulaga' fame and ability nga nahisalagma sa senate.       

oh, before i forget.  i personally hope that you are not one of those one-time, one-post members who step in to bring a link, and pffffttt. 

hello, sydney, and welcome!  this forum, as you may note, is bilingual.  there are even snatches of three other languages being used at times.  we hope, nay, we know, that you can navigate through these languages by picking up the nuances without being bothered by language barriers that are actually not as massive as australia's great barrier reef.  thanks for stepping in here.  feel at home.  better yet, make this your home.

eeekkk!  my achilles' heel.  all these years si banana republic di mokaon ug panit ani, so akoy demolition team.  favorite snacks pa gyod ang chicken chicharon.  result: i'm now on medication for high cholesterol, huhuhu, bisag 43 kgs ra ko and considered underweight.  i now refuse to eat chicken.  so far, so good.  wa ko matintal.  maayo gani picture ra ni; nikab-ot na unta ko.

Rambutan ug... di ko sure sa usa, lychees? Naa ba to na? Lamian ra ba 

kalami palandungon kun mamunga na ang tulo ka rambutan saplings nga bag-o nakong tinanom.  flowering tree akong gusto unta, like golden showers, unya advice sa akong brod kay rambutan mas maayo kay productive ug mora pod bitaw kuno ug buwak ang bunga.  it's a strain nga kaya nang motubo in temperatures like that of cebu (warmer than mindanao).  patoo na lang ko kay siya may agriculturist.  hinaot unta nga makapupo na kog bunga nga ingon aning imong gikaon sa di pa mamuti akong kalimutaw.  unsaon, taga-tuhod pa man nako ang gitas-on aning rambutan saplings karon.   

my trick with lychees: panitan, tuslokon ang unod ug toothpick, i-soak ug white wine in a glass.  yeheeey, naa na koy cocktail drink with a canape nga fruit pa gyod.
