but know what guys, if u compare baya to other places in the phils na naa sad kunoy tourist spots, bohol is still cheaper, unya nice pa jud! and most of my friends who have visited bohol said na accomodating pa jud kuno mga bol-anon.

i havent goneto bohol beach club. poor me, !

when i was still in bohol, almost every year naa jud mi mga visitors na amo ilaag and going to loboc river was always part of the itenirary plus the sumptuous food at the floating resto.

i've gone to that resort but i didnt notice d pic na didto diay na coz when we went there hunas and so we simply walked going to that separate cottage.

Lumine, if it is true in Belgium, it is also true in most parts of the world.

yes mike! but what makes us unique is that we still manage to smile, laugh and even sing despite our poverty. this is d uniqueness in us that my husband is boasting here. in fact , we plan to move there for good because the real meaning of neighborhood is present which my husband noticed days before our wedding in Manga. he said that he could find d real happiness in the philippines which money cant be bought.

Its because, wala si lord nga nag guide nila, they are far from god. Pareha sa ako host family diri. Daghan sila kwarta, nindot ug balay, makapalit bisan unsa ang gusto pero pag-abot sa problema, tumba kay wala man si lord nga maoy nagiya-, kwarta man ang gipaka Ginoo.

Nya, I'm sure nga nakabantay mo nga atong nasud daghan diyosnon pero pobre ta, while ang nasud nga pareha diri sa north sa europe, maihap ra ang diyosnon pero datu sila. Kay sa ato mangud wala nato ayuha paggalam ang atong mga natural resources ug kayutaan ug kabukiran, kay ang usa sa nakaingon wlay suporta sa gobyerno. Pero dinhi sa ila, giampingan nila na ug maayo ug suportado usab sa ila gobyerno.

btaw no! im grateful lang jud that my husband has d heart of a typical pinoy, satisfied and happy of whatever he has.

ur welcome!

really?i am now turning 30 and patiently waiting for the right guy to come,been praying it to the Lord,and i know he will answered when the right time comes..congratulation diay!

thanks!
muabot ra jud! d best pa jud ihatag ni Lord.

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on June 05, 2007, 11:42:31 AM
Amen. All the time. 

PRAISE HIM! AMEN!

Quote from: yadz26 on June 05, 2007, 12:42:48 PM
yes, definitely!

di ba kita na mga pinoys in general are satisfied and happy as well maski pobre ta. here in belgium, i noticed even most belgians have d luxuries in life and yet they arent happy.

me too, i have that book! nice jud kaau na book! it helps us to reflect the things in life and most specially our relationship with God.

Quote from: buenavista on June 05, 2007, 02:21:21 PM
yes its true,but sometimes its hard to forget the pain,specially when the wounds not yet healed.

in my painful experience, i cried out to God! i also sought help from elders and a nun. i remember, the nun told me to welcome the pain but not to entertain long. she added not to pretend that i wasnt hurt. my elders told me to keep busy. so i did! it helped!

Quote from: yadz26 on June 02, 2007, 03:31:11 PM
Patience is a virtue......... 

exactly! it took me a lot of years to pray for a partner in life. im now 38 and i got married two years ago. it was worth the wait because God gave me a God-fearing belgian poet. it was beyond my dreams to live in a foreign land. GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD to those who pray patiently!

"When we pray, God wraps us in His loving arms."


prayer is always my best weapon.

What is important when you fall is you learned how to stand and start a new life that is better than you have before 

indeed! we must not dwell so much on the pain it brings, instead ,we must learn the lesson it offers. after all the pain, for sure the sun is shining for us.

real happiness cant be bought by money.

is bohol viewed as a poor province? i dont think so oy! basta for my husband, bohol is a paradise.

it only proves that filipinos are now wise voters.

that's d politics jud in the phils! politicians are really hungry for power.

super dooper nice kaau ang poem!

hello genelyn! welcome! ah, mura sad ko tag-iya ani na site da,hehe!

hello chin! welcome!

ohh! i wonder why some politicians will hide the status of their health!

Quote from: Bohol Philippines on June 01, 2007, 11:14:57 AM

wow! i salute ur love for bohol by doing this!
great job!

God bless always!

i got this touching story from my aunt whom she also got as forwarded email.
im posting it here because i believe that the kids in the story below need HELPING HANDS.
im sharing this for you and me to reflect....

Basureros

>
>Ever since i was diagnosed of having a possible heart enlargement in the
>last APE, I had exerted more effort to do physical exercises. I do
>jogging during weekdays and do long-ride mountain biking every Sunday. But
>this Sunday is a special Sunday to me. While I was on my way to the
>mountains of Busay ( Cebu ) hoping to strengthen my heart by this exercise, I
>had a personal encounter with a heart-breaking scene that changed me.
>
>
>I already passed by the Marco Polo Plaza ( formerly Cebu Plaza Hotel )
>when I decided to stop at a small carenderia located along the road to buy
>bananas. I hadn't taken any solid food that morning so I needed fruits to
>have the energy to get to my destination - the mountain top. I was
>almost done eating with the second banana when I noticed two children
>across the street busily searching the garbage area.
>
>
>"Basureros," I said to myself and quickly turned my attention away from
>them to sip a small amount of water. I cared less for this kind of
>children. Actually; to make it straight, I do not like them, and I do not
>trust them even more. This is because, I have been a victim several times
>to these kind of children who are pretending to be basureros looking for
>empty bottles and cans when, in fact, the 'plangganas', 'kalderos', and
>'hinayhays' are their favorites. I remember one afternoon while I was
>watching a Mike Tyson fight when I noticed that the TV screen suddenly
>became blurred. I checked outside and saw two young basureros running away
>with my newly installed antenna. Hatred maybe too strong a word to
>describe my feeling towards these basureros, but I do not like them
>honestly - not until I met these three children.
>
>I was about to embark on my bike again when I heard one of the two
>children, a girl of about 7 or 8 of age, saying aloud to the other, a 12-yr
>old boy , "Kuya si Dodong kuha-a kay nag-sige'g tan-aw sa mga nagkaon,
>maulaw ta" (Kuya si Dodong kunin mo kasi tumitingin sa mga kumain,
>nakakahiya), only then that I noticed a small boy standing near me slightly
>biting his finger.
>
>
>He's a few inches shorter compared to my 5-year old son (but I knew later
>that he was also 5 years old). Though he did not ask for food from anyone
>in the carenderia, the way he looked at the customers who were eating was
>enough to convince me that he intensely craved for food. The older boy
>then quickly crossed the street and gently pulled out the little one who
>politely obeyed.
>
>
>As I watched the two crossing the street back to the garbage area, I heard
>the tindera saying " Lo-oy kaayo nang mga bataa uy, mga buotan ra ba na"
>(Kawawa naman yung mga batang yun, mababait pa naman). I learned further
>from the carenderia owner that the children were from a good family. Both
>parents were working before, that their father had a stroke 3 years ago and
>became partially paralized. Their mother died of heart attack while their
>father was still confined at the hospital. The parents were still in their
>early forties when the catastrophe happened. The children became basureros
>since then to meet their daily needs and for their father's medication.
>
>
>Deeply moved by what I heard, I went to a nearby bakery and bought 20 pesos
>worth of bread and gave it to the children who initially refused, including
>the little boy. "Sige lang noy, salamat na lang, magpalit lang nya mi kung
>mahalinan na mi" (Sige lang po, salamat na lang, bibili na lang po kami
>mamaya kung makabenta na kami), the young girl said to me. I explained
>that they needed to go home because it was starting to rain . "Naanad na
>man mi ani " (Nasanay na po kami), the girl answered again. I explained
>further that the rain could make them sick and if they would become sick
>there would be no one to take care of their father.
>
>
>Upon mentioning their father, they nodded and accepted the bread. I
>noticed that the older boy did not eat. When I asked him if he did not
>like the kind of bread I bought for them, he just smiled. But as he was
>about to explain, the little girl, who was the more talkative of them
>interrupted, " Domingo man gud ron noy, basta Sabado ug Domingo hapon ra
>siya mokaon, kami ra ang mokaon ug pamahaw pero dili na pod mi mokaon inig
>hapon, si kuya ra. Pero basta Lunes ngadto sa Biyernes, kay klase man, si
>kuya ra sad ang seguro-on ug papamahaw, kami hapon na sad mi moka-on. Pero
>kung daghan mi ug halin mokaon mi tanan." (Linggo po kasi ngayon, pag
>Sabado at Linggo hapon lang po sya kumakain, kami lang po ang kumakain ng
>agahan pero di na po kami kakain pagdating ng hapon, si kuya na lang po.
>Pero kapag Lunes hanggang Biyernes, kasi may pasok, si kuya lang po ang
>nag-aagahan, kami hapunan lang pero kung marami kaming benta kami pong
>lahat kumakain), she continued.
>
>
>"Ngano man diay ug mokaon mong tanan, bahinon ninyo bisan ug unsa ka
>gamay?" (Bakit kung kumain kayong lahat, hati-hatiin nyo na lang kahit
>kaunti lang ang pagkain?) I countered. The young girl reasoned out that
>their father wanted that her older brother to come to school with full
>stomach so he can easily catch up with the teacher's lessons. "Inig ka
>trabaho ni kuya mo undang na man mi ug pamasura, first honor baya na siya
>" (Kapag nagkatrabaho na si kuya, hihinto na kami sa pambabasura, first
>honor kasi sya), the little boy added proudly.
>
>
>Maybe I was caught by surprise or I was just overly emotional that my
>tears started to fall. I then quickly turned my back from them to hide my
>tears and pretended to pick up my bike from the carenderia where I left it.
>I didn't know how many seconds or minutes I spent just to compose myself;
>pretending again this time that I was mending by bike.
>
>Finally I got on my bike and approached the three children to bid goodbye
>to them who in turn cast their grateful smiles at me. I then took a good
>look at all of them specially at the small boy and patted his head with a
>pinch in my heart. Though I believe that their positive look at life can
>easily change their present situation, there is one thing that they can
>never change - that is, their being motherless. That little boy can no
>longer taste the sweet embrace, care, and most of all, the love of his
>mother forever. Nobody can refill the empty gap created by that sudden and
>untimely death of their mother.
>
>
>Every big event that will happen in their lives will only remind them and
>make them wish of their mother's presence. I reached in my pocket and
>handed to them my last 100 peso bill which I was reserving for our
>department's bowling tournament. This time, they refused strongly.
>However, I jokingly said to the girl "sumbagon ta karon kung di nimo
>dawaton" (suntukin kita diyan kapag hindi mo tinanggap yan). She smiled
>as she extended her hand to take the money. "Salamat noy makapalit gyud me
>ron ug tambal ni papa " (salamat po, makakabili kami nito ng gamot ni
>papa), she uttered.
>
>
>I then turned to the small boy. Though he was a few feet away from me, I
>still noticed that while his right hand was holding the half-filled sack,
>his left hand was holding a toy - a worned-out toy car. I waved my hands
>and said bye bye to him as I drove towards the mountains again. Did he
>just find the toy from the garbage - or the toy was originally his until
>the misfortune took place? I did not bother to ask.
>
>
>But one thing is crystal clear to me - that inspite of the boy's abnormal
>life, he did not give up his childhood completely. I can sense it in the

>
>
>My meeting with those young basureros made me poorer by 100 pesos.

>hold on to what they believe is right. This is a contrast to most of us
>who are quick to point out to our misfortunes when caught with our
>mistakes. From them, I've learned to hope for better things when things

>Lastly, I know that God cares for them far more than we do. That though He
