The fear is that they may be bound to do to their children
how they were treated by their parents...

Maybe something happened in their childhood
that made them that way now that they are
in a new environment.

maybe yes. or maybe because she comes from a remote place in samar and she is not even familiar with the malls.

she cant even believe we  have bigger and nicer malls in the phils than here in belgium.

It's okay to compare countries and people just for the sake of simple conversation. Pero kung sa pagcompare, atong inudnud atong nasud, dili napud maayo. Atong hinumduman nga atong mga minahal sa kinabuhi naa baya didto ug atong damgo nga mahaw-as sila sa kalisud.

Sa atong pag-compare, ato gihapong ipasigarbo ang mga maayong butang nga naa sa PIlipinas.

Walay country nga perfect! Please tell your hambogera na Pinay diha, Inday Lumine.

Yilmaz: Kids to stay with Ruffa if she's decent
06/09/2007 | 09:39 AM

"As long as Ruffa is a decent mother, I will not separate my children from their mother."

This was Yilmaz Bektas's exact words in response to the question if he's planning to fight for the custody of his two daughters, Lorin and Venice, from estranged wife Ruffa Gutierrez.

In an exclusive interview aired last night, June 8, in 24 Oras, Yilmaz also mentioned that he has no problem if his children stay here in the Philippines, or any other country for that matter, just as long as they're safe and sound.

"As long as they're safe and happy my daughters can live in the Philippines or any other countries [sic]," he further said.

The controversial Turkish millionaire admitted missing his children so much but also understands that the situation calls for him to be separated even from his children.

"I love them even I am not near them. But whenever my children need me, I [will be with them right away]," he mentioned before sealing the message with a kiss.

Yilmaz also spoke about the "wife-beater" issue that is being associated with him.

"I decided to [get a] divorce not because of physical wildness or something like that. I believe Ruffa too will agree with my decision. This is our personal life. I don't want to give more information about us."

He casually replied, "I think she is" when quizzed if he thinks Annabelle Rama was one of the reasons why his marriage with Ruffa caved in.

"I'm not blaming her because she's a mother and she doesn't know what is really our situation. Whatever Ruffa [tells] to her, she believes."

Taking a tough stance anew, Yilmaz then proceeded to let it know that he owes no one an apology, particularly to his mother-in-law.

"I think she is upset or angry [Annabelle]. But still I won't apologize to anybody," he ended. - Philippine Entertainment Portal

Maingon man ang mga magtutudlo nga Filipino diri sa Thailand. Usa lamang ang hinungdan ngano nga daghang mga Filipino ang nanimpalad na diri sa Thailand tungod kay nag-ilaid sila sa kalisud sa atong nasud apan naarangan ang ilang kahimtang diri.

i would also have gone to the idea of working abroad, had i not gotten married in 2004. dugay man gud ang progress sa ato oy. though i enjoyed teaching in a private school for nearly 13 years, but i couldnt help thinking as well that i would be compensated more if i would work abroad.

now, im a world-class 24-hour yaya to my son.
(wala na noon ko sweldo,hehehe!)

hahaha! ka very poetic sad nimo mike oy!

what an inspiring story!

speaking about post office, naa pa gihapon diay nang concept ba na if naay letter gikan sa gawas, basin naay gisipit na kwarta mao dili madawat tawn sa recepient ang mail.

last six months ago, i sent a document back to my former employer in ormoc because she needed my signature. to our dismay, she didnt get it, but when i re-sent it with the special mailing, she finally got it. so strange!

and i remember i often wrote letters of inquiries to existing websites when i needed information. deadma.

a forum/discussion site can help anyone who is seeking a particular piece of information.

i salute to u, mike! that's why i make it sure i will spend time checking this site so you efforts will somehow be paid off.

i have several messages from guests saying they are frequent visitors of Tubag Bohol.
one guest wa na kaantos, ni-register ug ni-comment, and will contribute soon.
we have a lot of visitors everyday, and page hits could go up to 2,000 plus. visitors spend at least one hour per visit. 

considering that this site is just a month-old, we will just just wait for another month or two.

we will be reaching 2,000 posts this week, hopefully. i think this is already remarkable for a "baby" website.

one more thing, our members come from many parts of the planet. 

God, bless us!

wow! nice to know!

i remember the octogenarian aunt of my mom who was trying her best to speak in english to my husband. she said, "where's the amerikano?"

my husband replied, " im not an americano, im a belgiano."

d first pinay jud na ako nameet warned me to be careful with fellow pinays. naunsa naman noon na ako naman magcareful nya because she and her husband are discouraging my husband to live for good in d phils coz it's not safe daw,etc. my husband told them that everywhere in d world is not safe anymore. my husband added that if u are destined to die, u will die where ever you are. da, wala lagi katingog.

two months ago, they visited us again and d pinay brought a present to my lil boy. she said, maau dri kay quality, sa atoa dili. oooooooooppppps! murag lahi ra da! so i told her na daghan kaau nicer pa and more quality pa sa atoa. when i checked d shirt, made in china sad baya.

English is the language of big business. It is not the language of the soul. When we teach our kids English, we teach them how to make a living. When we make them hone their use of the vernacular, we're teaching them how to remember home.

You're right, there are lots of filipnos that's not bol-anon, na kusog mamiaybiay sa mga bol-anon. Kung buot kwentahon, taga-bohol ang may pinakamaayo batasan ug kinaiya sa pilipinas. Even e compare nato ang taga-ato sa taga bisan asa dapit sa pinas, kita maoy pinakamaayo. Tinuod, pero kita maoy giahan-ukan sa tanan nga mga pamiaybiay. Just like, if someone's not from bohol making a jokes. they always used bol-anon as a subject.

Instead dad-an kalamay maayo nuon labayon sa bagol 

mao sad ni nanotice sa ako husband na nice daw kinaiya mga bol-anon. he finds SOME people in manila rude and disrespectful. one time, nagpachange mi sa iya money at SM, the girl who entertained us told me, pakisabi naman sa husband mo magbigay din sya ng pera sa akin.sabihin mo, mahirap ako. BAGAA jud sa nawong oy!

Niadtong bata-bata pa ko, kuyog ko ni Padre Jaime Neri, usa ka Jesuitang "anthropologist" nga nag estudyo sa mga karaang Pinoy (aborigine) nga namuyo didto sa Anda. Sa among kulokabildo, akong gipangutana siya, "Padre, unsa may sinugdanan ining ujat-ujat sa mga Bol-anon nga "ija-ija aho-aho" kuno ang ilang kinaija". Matud niya, "Dunay tubag ana. Kadtong unang grupo sa mga Malayo (Shri Visayans) nga nanganhi sa Pinas duna silay kinaiya, mga kuripot. Kining grupoha nanimuyo kadaghanan dinhi sa Bohol ug adunay tipik kanila mipadayon paglawig ug nanimuyo sa Amihanang Luzon, Ilocos Region karon. Kining kinaiyaha nadala hangtud karon. Ang mga Bol-anon kuno kung magpainadlaw unya sa panahon sa tingkaon na mobiya sa mga kauban ug maglain sa iyang kaugalingon. Ngano, tungod kay iya isuwa ginamos ra pares sa kamote tungod sa iyang kakuripot. Busa, ujat-ujaton siya nga "ija-ija aho-aho".

Mao sab tingali ning kantiyaw nga "pakisabaw ug pakibahog" tungod sa atong pagkakuripot. Magsuwa lamang kasagaran ug law-oy nga utan. Lami na nga bahog-bahog.

Ang "lamesa ray patag" tungod na atong Chocolate Hills.

Pero di ba kining tanang pulos "positive attributes" sa mga Bol-anon. Sa atong pagka kuripot eh di ba pulos ta dunay tinago-an?

OIC! mao diay but even then im proud to be a boholana.

hay life!

this is a forwarded email i got from my aunt.
it's funny but it's true.
here it goes........




Di ko alam kung matatawa ako rito o maiinis....


      Because of the bad press this country is getting. When I travel
      people often ask me why I live in the Philippines. Well here it
is.
      It is the only place on earth...........

      Where every street has a basketball court. Where even doctors,
      lawyers and engineers are
unemployed. Where doctors study to become nurses for employment abroad.
Where students pay more money than they will earn afterwards.

      Where school is considered the second home and the mall
considered
      the third.
      Where call-center employees earn more money than teachers and
nurses.
      Where everyone has his personal ghost story and superstition.


      Where mountains like Makiling and Banahaw are considered holy
places.
      Where everything can be forged.
      Where all kinds of animals are edible. Where Starbucks coffee is
more
      expensive than gas. Where driving 4 kms can take as much as four
      hours. Where flyovers bring you from the freeway to the side
streets.
      Where crossing the street involves running for your dear life.
Where
      the personal computer is mainly used for games and Friendster.
Where
      colonial mentality is dishonestly denied! Where 4 a.m. is not
even
      considered bedtime yet. Where people can pay to defy the law.
Where
      everything and everyone is spoofed. Where even the
poverty-stricken
      get to wear Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger (peke)! Where the
honking
      of car horns is a way of life. Where being called a bum is never
      offensive. Where floodwaters take up more than 90 percent of the
      streets during the rainy season.


      Where everyone has a relative abroad who keeps them alive. Where
      wearing your national colors makes you baduy. Where even the
      poverty-stricken have the latest cell phones. (GSM-galing sa
magnanakaw) Where insurance does not work. Where water can only be
classified as tap and dirty - clean water is for sale (35 pesos per
gallon). Where the government makes the people pray for miracles. (Amen
to
that!)
      Where University of the Philippines is where all the weird people
go.
      Ateneo is where all the nerds go.
La Salle is where all the Chinese go. College of Saint Benilde is where
all
the stupid Chinese go, and University of Asia and the Pacific is where
all
the irrelevantly rich people go. Where fast food is a diet meal. Where
traffic signs are merely suggestions, not regulations.

Where being mugged is normal.. It happens to everyone. Where rodents
are
normal house pets. Where the definition of traffic is the
'non-movement'
of
vehicles. Where the fighter planes of the 1940s are used for military
engagements, and the new fighter planes are displayed in museums. Where
cigarettes and alcohol are a necessity, and where the lottery is a
commodity.
       Where soap operas tell the realities of life and where the news
      provides the drama. Where actors make the rules and where
politicians
      provide the entertainment. Where people can get away with
stealing
      trillions of pesos, but not a thousand. Where being an hour late
is
      still considered punctual. (Grabe talaga 'to!) Where the
squatters
      have more to complain (even if they do not pay their tax) ----
than
      those employed and have their tax automatically deducted from
their
      salaries.

and Where everyone wants to leave the country!

Roll, and two butcher shops called Meating Place and Meatropolis.

Smart travelers can decipher what may look like baffling signs to
unaccustomed foreigners by simply sounding out the 'Taglish' (the
Philippine version of English words spelled and pronounced with a heavy
Filipino
such as, at a restaurant menu in Cebu 'We hab sopdrink in can an in
batol'
[translation: We have soft drinks in can and in bottle].

Then, there is a sewing accessories shop called Bids And Pises
[translation: Beads and Pieces --or-- Bits and Pieces].
There are also many signs with either badly chosen or misspelled words,
but
they are usually so entertaining that it would be a mistake to
'correct'
them.

In a restaurant in Baguio City, the 'summer capital' of the
Philippines:
'
Wanted: Boy Waitress'; on a highway in Pampanga: 'We Make Modern
Antique
Furniture;' on the window of a photography shop in Cabanatuan: 'We
Shoot
You While You Wait;' and on the glass front of a cafe in Panay Avenue
in
Manila: ' Wanted: Waiter, Cashier, Washier.'

Some of the notices can even give a wrong impression, such as, a shoe
store
in Pangasinan which has a sign saying: 'We Sell Imported Robber Shoes'
(these could be the 'sneakiest' sneakers); and a rental property sign
in
Jaro, reads: 'House For Rent, Fully Furnaced' (it must really be hot
inside)! Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly
unique--if not altogether odd. City in southern Philippines, which
said:
'Adults: 1 peso; Child: 50 centavos; Cadavers: fare subject to
negotiation.'

European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing shops
selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland Hopia,
which are owned and operated by two local Chinese entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho
and
Mr. Po respectively- -(believe it or not)! Some folks also 'creatively'
redesign English to be more efficient 'The creative confusion between
language and culture leads to more than just simple unintentional
errors
in
syntax, but in the adoption of new words,' says reader Robert
Goodfellow,
who came across a sign that

House Fersallarend' (house for sale or rent). Why use five words when
two
will do?

According to Manila businessman, Tonyboy Ongsiako, there is so much wit
in
the Philippines because '. . . we are a country where a good sense of
humor
is needed to survive. We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the
government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of
politicians
and bad actors.
Now I ask you where else in the world would one want to live?

haha! nalingaw ko!

 

hahahahaha!buing!

Here in Thailand there is an increasing number of Boholanos seeking greener pasture. I should acknowledge Mr. Gilbert Montera, who invited me to come to Thailand. Gilbert and his wife (Lilibeth) and and his son (Geebee) are now based in Vietnam.

do u have an email ad of gilbert, mike? kauban mi sa KAPIT sauna sa DWC. we r friends. plsssssssssss mike!

looking back then, i could still vividly remember na magbahinbahin jud mi sa amo sud-an kay daghan man mi kaau. would u believe that we are 13?yes, 13! d 12th died due to vehicular accident.
what's ironic is that we call our parents, mommy and daddy pero ginamos diay sud-an usahay,hehe! di ba, we have this notion na if daddy ug mommy dato? ay sus, kami ray nasaag ana! but it is in our poverty that we strive to study harder and eventually, finish studies.nagworking student mi sa amo mga iyaan. with God's grace, 8 of us girls are now degree holders.
lahi ra jud basta maningkamot lang ta.

sa wala pa ko na-addict sa tubag bohol, as soon as i come online, diretso ko dayon open sa ako friendster and multiply accounts then the newspapers online. now, tubag bohol is d first priority,before friendster,etc.
d feeling of being connected to boholanos around d world maski wala mo nag-ila in person is something this site offers.
so thanks to mike even if at first dedma ko,hehe!
