Bambi sa akong pagtuo si glace nikaging ug kalit
  morag nabuthan ug bomba!

  Nihiyong iyang mga mata,
  unya kalit ug siga

  Nibudlot iyang simod,
  Nikurog iyang tuhod

  Nibanhod iyang kaunoran
  Mga tiil gibikogan

  Dughan naglagobo
  Sa bangkaw girapido

  Sakit ug kahapdos
  Kasingkasing gaantus

    :D

kung kadtong mga luha nga midagayday sa akong mga mata niadtong higayona, states, ako pa kadtong gitigum,

ikaugdaw na kadto og sunog sa California

ikapatubig na kadto og uma

Again this is just other people's trivial exercise of opinion. who cared when one made that decision and trudged the rather slippery road of a relationship with somebody they barely knew--or at least they just met in the Net or whatever?

now that they've thrived and flourished with all the struggles and risks, for love and being loved, do you think it still matters what others think?

Kung ang pagtan-aw sa kaminyuon is that it is a means to an end, bisag foreigner o Pinoy ang bana (o asawa for that matter), dili gyud layo ang paingnan.

Kay ang in-aning panan-aw, mura lang kag gasakay sa bus, nga kung mahibaw-an nimo at any point in time nga dili diay padulong sa imong gusto adtuan, munaog na lang ka ug sakay ug lain.

Pero kung an pagtan-aw nimo sa kaminyuon, "the journey is the destination," bisag asa pa moabot, mahanoy o malibaong ang dalan nga agian sa bus, magtubay gyud mong duha.

Then I realized, alkanse ko, siya malipayon sa

I closed my ears and changed my heart, basin kon

My husband says that, he could never ask for

Gabii.

Mingaw kaayo ang palibot sa akong balay. Nabati  nako ang tingog sa mga alingisngis. Ug ang gahob sa akong dughan nga gikulbaan samtang naghupot sa cellphone ug sa papel nga dalidaling gisulatan sa numero.

Unsa man kaha akong isulti? Maminaw pa ba kaha nako si Kris? Mao ni ang akong kahadlok nga gibati. Syaro na man sad. Di man tingali ko niya isalibay na lang, human niadtong maanindot namong kagahapon sulod sa pipila ka tuig.

Panahon na nga makaatubang ko si Kris. Kung anus-a man, kana masayran nako human ning gabhiona. Busa gisugdan ko na pag-pindot ang mga numero. Ug diha-diha mibagting ang phone sa pikas linya. Siya ba kaha ang makatubag; dili ba kaha laing tawo.

"Hello". Ang tingog. Sinati ko kaayo ang tingog ni Kris. Bugnaw, maabi-abihon, mapakabanaon. Siya jud ning naa sa pikas linya. "Hello?" tubag ko. Dili ko masukod ang akong kalipay nga nabati ko iyang tingog human sa tulo ka tuig nga panagbulag. Sa tingog pa lang, mahanduraw ko na iyang panagway nga makabibihag kaayo. Ug ang gininhawa nga nilusot sa kahanginan usa ka langit para nako nga boot kong lupdon pag-usab.

"Si Kris ni?" akong medyo inosenting pangutana gisundan sa usa ka mahibulunganong tubag, "O-oo, ngano man, kinsa ni?" "Ako ni. Imong Ondoy." Kahilum. Ambot unsa tong dapita nga mura man og ako ray nagbarog didto. Kay arang mingawa jud sa pikas cell. Abi nako og naputol ang koneksyon. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 seconds. Ug diha pa nigawas nga tingog, "Kaw ni? Nauli diay ka?"

"Oo. Bag-o pa lang, Kris. Ug dia ko ron sa among balay. Kumusta ka na?" Di ko malitok halos akong mga pulong tungod sa kakuba ug kahinam. Tiaw bay tulo na katuig, karon pa jud ko nakadungog iyang tingog. Gusto ko gani nga isulti na tanan. Dali-dalion basin unyag mawala siya pag-usab. Pwede pa lang unta gub-on ning naghuwa namong kalay-on aron madool nako siya.

Dili matukib sa kalipay akon gibati nga nakastorya ko na gyud, sa katapusan, si Kris. Nakabuhi ang among mga pulong, gibati ug hunahuna sulod atong mga taknaa, daw mga piniriso sa halwa sa kapalaran nga hapit na hikalimtan.

Daghang mga pangutana nga natubag; daghang mga katingala nga nasukna. Dihay mga katawa; diha usab mga kahilom. Ug daw lubaylubayong mga tubag gikan sa iyang ngabil sa akong mga "I love you" ug "I miss you".

Wa ra hibaw-i niabot na among panagstorya og pila ka oras. Human, nabati nako nga aduna siyay boot isugid nga butang. Ang wa nako damha sa tanan nakong mabati.

"Naa na koy uyab, don".

Gabii. Kangitngit.

i don't know asa nako ni i-post...i just want to share this poem..a friend of mine emailed it to me..


Friends Without Faces


We sit and we type,
...and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder,
...what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam,
...through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone,
...as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other,
...we type all our woes
Small groups we do form,
....and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody,
....to type out our name
We want recognition,
...but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs,
...and sometimes flirt
In PMs we chat deeply,
...and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships,
...will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen,
...we can be so bold
Telling our secrets,
...that have never been told?

Why is it we share,
...the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see,
...as though we were blind?

The answer is simple,
...it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems,
...and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people,
...but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter,
...and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy,
...the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces,
.....and odd little names.

and i'm one of them

this is really nice, lolla.

Under the Sun, under the Knife - Venezuela's women seek surgery and a white American ideal body - Brief Article
UNESCO Courier, July, 2001 by Rakel Sosa

Venezuela may be in the economic doldrums, but cosmetic surgery is booming, highlighting the power of hidden racial discrimination and the ever-present North American concept of beauty

A few statistics are sometimes more telling than heavyweight sociological analysis. Venezuela has won more international beauty contests than any other country in the past 50 years, including five Miss World titles, four Miss Universes and countless other crowns and prizes. This is no accident: the record is proof in Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America of some very deep social trends. Like in Brazil, the official line is that Venezuela is a tolerant multiracial country. But under the surface lies a subtle racism against the descendants of black slaves. It is expressed by an ideal of beauty which vaunts white skin, blonde hair and light-coloured eyes.

"They come to my clinic wanting thinner noses, slightly fuller lips, big breasts, firm bottoms and above all slimness--they all want to be slimmer," says Dr Pedro Meneses, a member of the Venezuelan Plastic Surgery Association.

Beauty in Venezuela has become a social value that often defines success or failure, personally and professionally. It is a value that sits atop the many other conventions demarcating the role of the woman in a society that has yet to accept various key feminist principles.

Torn between racism and machismo, many women regard beauty as an efficient way to leap upwards through the social ranks and often the only way to live.

The cult of beauty in Venezuela explains the country's huge boom in cosmetic surgery over the past decade. There are no official figures, but the reality is probably similar to that described by the American Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAPRS), which reports that the number of people seeking cosmetic surgery has risen by 60 percent in the past two years. Between 1992 and 1998, the association says, the most popular operations were liposculpture (up 264 percent), breast enlargement through implants (up 306 percent), face lifts and nose jobs.

Beauty budgets

Notions of beauty, however, are constantly changing. "The ideal for the last decade has come from the United States, which is only two hours by plane from Venezuela," says Meneses. "The difference is that our women are not blonde and blue-eyed, yet they struggle to make their bodies and features resemble this white ideal. I've never operated on a white woman who wanted a broader nose so she could look more like a black woman. It always goes in the other direction."

Despite the country's vast oil wealth, 70 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty. But when it's a matter of looking good, no expense is spared. A 1999 study by the U.S. market research firm Roper Starch Worldwide showed that Venezuelans spend a fifth of their income on personal grooming and beauty products.

Breast surgery, one of the most common operations, costs between $1,000 and $3,500 for each implant. Given the overriding importance of appearing and feeling attractive, even women from the poorer end of society manage to find the money needed.

More and more women between 17 and 35 are seeking not only slimmer noses and bigger breasts, but also different shaped bodies. "They resort to surgery because they feel socially rejected or aren't satisfied with their image," says Dr Alberto Salinas, who has been operating on stomachs for more than 15 years and is one of the country's few experts in the field. He reduces the size of a stomach so the patient eats less and gets thinner. "Half my patients don't want to feel better, they just want to look better," he says.

Images of success

Although they are not fat, many teenage girls are referred to his surgery for psychological reasons. "The social pressure is so strong that these kids swallow a box of diuretic pills and a box of laxatives every day," says Salinas. "When they're doing this and risking addiction to medication, I prefer to operate."

Many professional people, meanwhile, turn to the operating table in the hope of improving their social image and self-esteem. Morelia Pelayo, a successful dentist, says the breast operation she had a few years ago changed her life: "I've always regarded myself as a successful woman personally and professionally. But I had a complex about the size of my breasts. Since the operation, I've dressed differently. Because this is a Caribbean country with a lot of sunshine, I can now show off my figure to more effect and wear dresses with a lower neckline."

She nevertheless admits to being pushed to the big decision by the subliminal effects of television advertising. "All the women you see there have big breasts and bottoms, spectacular bodies and look beautiful and successful. It's natural to want to be like them," she says.

Amid this confusion between being and appearing, the fascination of Venezuelans for the quick and drastic changes the surgeon's knife can bring is starting to become a cultural trait--imported from abroad, yet strong enough to change the very nature of Venezuelan society.

Dia ra ang estorya sa among household assitant nga apil sa Royal Court sa ilang baryo:

This is the ultimate bayle experience:

We had a relative and household assistant named Rosal, taga bukid  ibabaw sa among baryo. Pista didto sa ila, kandidata siya, ug nahimong runner-up. Busa gipangitaan sa akong mga sisters og nindot kaayo nga gown ug kina hayhilan nga sapatos aron taas tan-awon, kay taas ra ba gyud ang tag-iya sa iyang gown. Basta koronasyon, bayle gyud na una kay mangwarta pa man sa ribbon.  Table-table pud.  Mibundak pa bitaw nang ulan, daw binugkos nga mga taligsik (he he, mihapit og balak). So ang tanan mipasilong sa mga lamesa. Later, bisan pag nagtaligsik na, gipadayon na lang ang koronasyon kay hapit na mo tungang-gabii. Unya kay basa man ang hagdan, dihay nakahunahuna og hapin niini og cellophane. Ug mipaso na si Rosal. Pirting pugong sa tiil kay first time naka high heel. Patay . . . kay na-slide bitaw siya sa hagdan nga gihapinan og cellophane, nahapla jud sija, as in face down nga gadupa.  But the show must go on, so smile pinarutput na lang gihapon ug mipwesto sa iyang lingkoranan uban sa iyang escort.  Later, diha na sa stage ang tanang members sa royal court.  Pero ang atup sa ilang stage: trapal . . . napuno sa tubig.  Natabunan ang nawong sa King. Basta koronasyon, ipatong man gud og platform ang nakadaug. What he did, miyuko na lang siya aron makita ang iyang nawong sa audience nga atua pa gihapon sa ilawom sa mga lamesa.  Unya kay hawoy na man ang iyang mga tuhod og piniko . . . nakakita bitaw siya sa trophy nga giputos og gold-colored cellophane . . . iyang gidughit ang trapal aron moagas sa kilid ang tubig.  Miagas tuod . . . pero nangabasa ang tanan nga mipasilong sa isig ka kilid sa stage.  Unya kay daghan pa man gyud ang tubig, masalipdan pa gihapon iyang nawong . . . busa iyang gikusgan pa ang pagdugkit aron mosaka pa ang trapal.  Ug unsay nahitabo? Nagisi bitaw ang trapal from side to side! Ug nangabasa ug natamog ang tanang sakop sa royal court ! Ang gipaugdo nga buhok morag na-relax, ang gwapa nga gimik-apan, na wa-na-pud ma gwapa. Pwerte nakong bahakhak niini samtang nag-asoy si Rosal sa maong "trahedya". 


mura jud nig eksina sa sine, kods. classic. hahahaha

could we just "close" this thread? sorry, if i open this up.

for it seems that the more we visit this topic the more we make a room for others to wonder about what, which is NOT.

there's been a lot of people getting hurt because of this. not that i don't sympathize them; i just would like to see people moving on and not getting stuck to pointing as to who is the culprit--they have already "received their reward"; let them go. they're not worth keeping.

    Yes, I remember vividly that most often when my Mom goes to market she buy some fish for dinner, then I always wonder why she did not buy enough for everybody (nine kids and Dad) That was long time ago, but since then I realize that my parents were very poor that their money for that day is good enough to buy two or three fish to be devided for the whole household of eleven. I can still remember the big pot of boiling water with onions and a few fish. My Dad on his bowl I can see him put some Red chilli, man that was very hot I can still see him perspiring intensely with great satisfaction in every sip of his fish soup. My kids here in Indiana had plenty so I always reminded them that thier Dad came from a very poor family and despite of being poor we were very happy. I promise my kids they can go with me to beloved BOHOL when reach 18.

wahahahahaha, kamo jud ha. inyo gyud kong pakauwawan atubangan sa daghang katawhan.

bitaw, diin na ba tood ko sa akong paghanduraw sa akong masakit nga kaagi ni Kris?

aw dia ra....ug nipauli ako.

unsa na kahay panagway ni Kris? sama pa ba kaha kahamis ang iyang nawong niadtong panahon sa akong paglakaw? di ko kalimot nga mura usahay og ulod ang akong mga tudlo nga mikamangkamang sa iyang nawong. ug akong mga tudlo daw mga sanga sa kahoy nga nagsige og dughit sa iyang liog ug dawnggan aron akong pagilokan. di malitok sa pulong kung makita nako iyang mga ngisi ug katawa.

gimingaw ko ni Kris, samtang gibaklay nako ang hawanan sa airport padulong sa gawas. naghanduraw ako nga naa unta siya sa gawas inig abot nako. uban sa gamatoy namong anak...apan hangin ug abog ang misugat kanako. ug pipila ka mga drivers sa taxi nangamaykamay kanako aron mohangyo ako nila nga pasakyon.

wala ko magdugay sa Manila. miuli ako dayon sa probinsya. didto ko nabalitaan nga dalaga pa diay si Kris. ug mingisi ang akong kasingkasing. buhi pa akong tsansa. nangayo ko dayon sa iyang cell number gikan sa akong suod nga amigo, nga suod usab ni Kris.

gi-dial ko ang numero nga diha sa papel nga akong gihupatan....
