that's great, mari.

About a year ago, jasper c. and i got crushed by a 10-wheeler truck on our way to ICM. Didto sa Calceta street, kanang murag roller-coaster na dan bitaw. The truck was way way ahead of us but it suddenly went downward straight towards us. Maayo kay wala gyud mi gasgas apan ang car namo super lumping. my cousin was at the driver's seat, ako sa front passenger seat, si jas sa likod.

na-trauma ko kadiyot uy.

balay balay mi sa akong mga amiga sauna.  among style kay mamaligya kunohay ug mga pagkaon, kana ganing mga empty wrappers sa candies ug mga junk foods, amo na siyang sudlan ug bato, dayon ibaligya.  magluto-luto sad mi, hangtod nangapaso.   dah, bunalan lagi ni nanay.  heheheh

ka-relate ko nimo. among kwarta sa una kay dahon sa mahogany. depende sa kolor ang iyang value.

ing-ana man nang contest...naay bati naay nindot. ang nindot ang modaog. this year, naay nindot naa pod bati. this goes to most contests like this.

in fairness sa mga contestants, nindot ra baya pod sila. Funny lang kay gusokay ang contest sa mga laki.

but the essence of this personality contest is development- in personality and behavior, in outlook and beliefs in life, and many aspects of human relationships.

it's the process that hopefully makes them better persons; molds them into becoming better citizens with the UB's virtues of CHARACTER, SCHOLARSHIP, and SERVICE; and helps them get through a competitive world out there!

and it's not just the contestants themselves that benefit from these. the organizers as well- who are students, too- gained rigorous training.

they may all get through rough times, they may fail in many instances, the may have fall short from our expectations but everything is a process that help them in many ways. Ways we may never come to expect!

puzzled guy to pharmacy sales lady:

sales lady:

sales lady reaches the guy's down under then shouts to the other sales lady.

sales lady:

aw, medium diay!
aw, large diay!
aw, day! tissue na lang diay!

This is quite challenging.

Who started this one?
You are very brilliant.
Thanks for the fun!

nano man hadlok ka drive car, mikey mike? 

actually, ang ako fear sauna is to end up with the wrong guy. hehehe!

C2H4: Wow! thanks! I took that pix way before I had my hair curled!

waaaaaaaa! sa akong kaarte, nagpakulot ko mga duha ka buwan na nia-gi. ang akong gusto "natural-looking big waves." to my "HORROR" mura kog santo niño! ako untang awayon ang nag-kulot nako pero it will not do any good. unja gigutom na pod ko adto. so akong gi-ingnan ang parlor nga "manang, wa ko nalipay sa imong gibuhat." so, iyang gi straight. waaaaaaah! mura na pod kog tukog na silhig! nabuang ko. so ingon na pod ko, "manang, wa ko niangay!" so iya napong gi curl. in the end, my hair was buhaghag nga hilaw na kulot. i had to ponytail my hair for about a month.

i had it relaxed yesterday.

i learned my lesson. dili na nako hilabtan akong buhok!

thanks for your concern but id rather stay as a virgin forever!

virgin coconut oil?

Bohol is a rich province in terms of natural (and human) resources. What we lack are the means (and ideas?) to use them for something good. Dili pobre ang Bol-anon. Daghan tag-katigayunan. Wala lang nato nagamit og tarong.

example lang. kining tuba-tuba. abi natog tambal lang sa panuhot apan dako diay ni siyag demand sa gawas as ingredients for bio-diesel. karon, dako ang demand sa atong probinsya niini. ang tuba-tuba maoy atong paningkamotan na matanom sa mga tao. dili man ni siya hago padak-on.

ang atong mga tao bisan pobre, anaa may matam-an pa. as someone pointed out dire, walay "landed" landlords diri sa bohol compared sa ubang lalawigan. salamat ni francisco sendrijas! dili lang humay ang pwede itanom, daghan man. ang atong mga tao ni antos lang sila ug pananom og bugas kay mao pa may ilang nahibaw-an pod. kung tagaan sila og laing itanom nga mas dali, mas barato ang pamaagi, ug dako ang demand, mas maayo gyud. 

I'd like to point out pod na dili lang trabaho sa politico ang pagpalambo sa atong lalawigang bol-anon. ato ning tanan. sila, nagpa-alig alig man og serbisyo sa mga tao, ato silang sukmatan. apan ato pod silang tabangan.

ang simbahan, ang mga civic organizations, NGOs, POs...daghan mang nagtambayayong. dili man nato makuha ang kalambuan dayon apan dako gyud ang ipekto sa "bayanian spirit!"

dako man o gamay atong matabang, basta nitabang ta. og akong gi-awhang ang tanan sa pagtabang sa atong lalawigan.

on the other side of the coin... kini ang pungot huna-hunaon.

our people have lands. bisan gamay, matamnan man unta pod. atong mga tao, gahi man pod og mga ulo. kinahanglan dukdokon pa pod. if they can just plant camote in their backyard, plant kamunggay, or any sa ilang nataran, mabuhi na man sila. atong mga tao pod kay wala man poy buhaton samtang naghuwat sa ilang humay. og makakwarta na pod gamay, ipalit pod og bahalina. our people need behavior change.)

and we also need to take pride of what we have. didto sa china, specialty gyud nila ang paw. sa atoa, kung mag-serve og paw moingon noon og "pasensya na kay paw ra gyud ang among mabayang." mauwaw kung kamunggay o camote ra ang gikaon. dili man angay ika-uwaw ang grasya.

sige uy. ari sa ako.

GEC: you like to be mysterious ha. if there will be a mtg then u need to know the details, paghuwat lang og note. ako ibutang sa windshield sa ako car. hehehe!

Delaguna: I think you know Sigbin. Btw, i'm sorry about the email. i got to the office late na gyud. sorry again.

kinky girls! hehehe!

me...tapeworms! waaaaaaaaaah! scary!!!

earthworms o tapeworms? eewww!

wow! applause applause applause! kaanindot sa mga pagbati nga napadayag sa imong mga linya...

During my training with the Philippine NGO Council about Reproductive Health, Gender, and Population, we were asked to choose among four destinations to visit. Two destinations were houses for people living with HIV/AIDS, one was La Mesa Reforestation Project, and the other was a resettlement area for scatters in Metro Manila. I chose the latter though I was tempted to go to the refuge houses. I was afraid that I could not deal with people living with HIV/AIDS properly- that I may show pity or I may be too helpful (or what) that may not be good for them or me.

Last week during the forum about HIV/AIDS, a girl just spontaneously spoke about "us having HIV working with you in this advocacy!" I thought people didn't notice or they just pretended to be cool about it. I, admittedly, was roused thinking how I should approach her. Soon, she spoke about living with the virus, how she got it and why she is working with the advocacy. She spoke about why we should not fear them and why we should not pity them.

I was grateful for that girl for coming out that way. I learned a lot!

hahaha! it so happens I was thinking about my Australia trip, precious!

al-alan man ta! lagi mike, manlibre ko nimo og chowking inag-uli nimo. o di kaha, balut ug beer sa pantalan!

mike is an intelligent and charming (but shy) person. He's a catch!

yah! rasta? pwede man kaha na maligo?

He's in Korea, Mike.

haha! beauty is in the eye of the beholder. matud pa sa usa ka panultihon, "sa True Love, ang pimples mahimong dimples!" ahehehe!

bitaw, raise your hands na uy! we all love boholano guys, no!

no, lorenzo. i mean your hair. it can be cool!

i still think our insurgents do not fight for communism as karl marx or the russians and the chinese see it. they are just fighting for a piece of land to toil or for their basic rights and privileges to be addressed.

GEC, you're a mysterious mystery person. I don't like it! hehehe! I will not represent you. You have to be represented- by your self.

Please?

a french kiss down under... haha! french gihapon!

yah! the "australian kiss" was a new info for most of us during the forum.

it's just the way you handle it lorenzo. it can be cool that way!

kung naay gwapo, raise you hand pod. hihi!

kung pwede lang tanang good qualities naa... of cors, ganahan gud mi ug gwapo, buotan, bright/smart, ug kwartahan! kung usa ray pili-an, adto ko sa buotan. kay ang kagwapo ma-vicky belo man, ang kabright pwede ra ipa-enroll the A-head o sa John Roberts (o unsa na?), ang kwarta pod makita ra man na kung maningkamot og tarong.

kinsa may buotan dinhi?

i am proud of my hair. i like it fine but full-bodied. and dark brown. praise my lola for that! but sometimes i take it granted and even abuse it like some (or most?) girls do... 

the concept of communism and "rebellion" are two different things. it just happens they go together. the groups we have here in Bohol might have real reasons why they sway into the other side. poverty that is. if these groups "listen" to them, the poor are easily swayed to their side. thus, we have to listen to them as well, they might need something. on the other hand, there are those who are just "enjoined" by the group without really grabbing the real reasons like our children and youth.

poverty is not just the lack of land ownership, it also goes with the lack of potable water, lack of basic needs such as shelter, food, and clothing, lack of education, among many other things.

it is easy for us to enumerate what we lack and what we hoped for. however, it is difficult to address. anyhow, our government is pinpointing poverty as reasons for insurgency. and that's what the bohol poverty reduction management office (bprmo), for one, is trying to solve. the two-pronged approach of bprmo strikes both poverty and insurgency with the former as reason for the latter. solving the former may solve the latter and vice versa.

there are many reasons for poverty and all our efforts is geared towards solving such. population for one is one big reason for poverty. Problems of population begets problems with health, education, environment resources, pollution, and many others. Managing our population is one way of giving light to the problem of poverty. the commission on population, the united nations population fund along with the provincial health office, city and municipal health offices are advocating on Population-Health-Environment (PHE) among our people. these are intertwined issues that looks at poverty as a glaring fact among our people.

the groups on the other side need to know that someone cares about their situation. they need to know that the government cares, that the people in the NGOs care, that ordinary people care.   

however, our approach is not merely giving fish to the hungry but giving them fish along with fishnets and the 'manual' on fishing. community empowerment is the key term for community development.

poverty has many faces. each one of us is looking at it on different sides. thus, this is a journey we are all hoping to successfully trudge along. if you can do something, we enjoin you to be one of us in this journey! afterall, this is our home. this is our bohol. 

I'm a leftie but i'm here!

bitaw, let's just let it be... kay matod pa sa linya sa kanta na "Perhaps Love, "some say love is holding on... and some say letting go..."

mao, kung dili na siya... dili na lang pod ta mamugos... (speaking from experience na ha! ahummm!)

hehehe! paimnon og usob?

Bitaw, ang Tarsier kay mag-suicide kung prisohon... dili mokaon, usahay kay ipakog nila ilang ulo...

In the Philippines, there is an estimate of 11, 168 people with HIV/AIDS. However, there are only 2, 916 who are registered. So daghan pa ang nagtago, o wala matest.

Help avoid HIV/AIDS! Learn more about it and spread the knowledge.

i just attended an HIV/AIDS forum with the Philippine National AIDS Council og didto gipakita nga dako-dako ang porsyento sa MSM (Males having Sex with Males). Well, dinhi sa Pilipinas, dako gihapon ang HIV/AIDS na nakuha sa heterosexual sex. i'll post again soon for more details.

thanks! i'll add you...

ipa-inom? ewww!

hehehe! C2H4, in fernezz sa mga boyz, mo-try man pod sila. lahi lang gyud ila ways to communicate. let's try to ask questions without being too inquisitive or kanang murag imbestogador. they'll  open up man pod.

GEC: nice, try. i love you, too. heheehe! joke!

What if a guy doesn't love me/you back?

Hi, TB people!

Lorenzo, on the other post, has been posting photos of a country he visited. It gave me the interest of seeing photos of the new countries you now call home. (I know, Bohol will always be home!) Care to post some? Please, tell us more about the countries, its people and their culture. This could be a nice learning experience!

Game?

To Jun and everybody:

Here's a poem by Nikki Giovanni, an African American Poet. Many many years ago, this used to be my favorite poem because it really pierced my heart. (saddist!!! ha ha! ) It spoke loudly what I felt inside. It's a sad poem but it speaks of  realities- the limited choices we have in this journey we call life. 

CHOICES

If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do


It's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
do


If i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want


Since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateral


When i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal


I know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry

Sometimes, Mr Junayag, we also have to examine if we want something for the right reasons.

When I was in college, uso kaayo tong Levis 501, I was obsessed with getting a pair. It seemed that everyone had one, ako ra ang wala. I wanted it so bad pero dili man ko ka afford kay wala man ko'y kuarta.

Then pag abot na nako dire, nag shopping mi sa akong cuzin sa Gilroy, CA, where the outlet stores are ridiculously cheap, esp. with their season sale prices. When we went to the Levi's store, I saw that they had their 501's at 75% off! I didn't buy one. To this day, wala pa gyud katilaw ning akong sampot ug Levi's. 

I realized that I wanted those jeans before because I knew I couldn't afford it. When we can't have something, we want it more. Do we want something because we really, truly want it? Or do we merely want it because we know we can't? 

When we can't have something, we want it more... ?

C2H4: sakit mana uy.... sakit gyud! i know how it feels. especially when that something is a somebody!!! hu hu hu hu!

el mundo, basin gipili pod nila tong ilang respondents. hehehehe!

para nako it's a matter of how we look up to our ates and kuyas. most often than not... ang ate ug kuya gyud ang gitan-aw nga sakto ug kamao. i know someone nga "si manang" gyud ang bright, gwapa, buotan sa iyang panan-aw. for short, "idol ko si manang!"

this is a matter of upbringing in the family and culture among people as well that somehow "dictated" the stereotype about first borns.

hehe! nice C2H4. i'll try to post his pix here soon. He promised me to visit here. Bz man siya. But he promised. Twice na. hehe! But he's happy to learn that Boholanos in TB are proud of him.

yeah! beach party daw!

Yeah, Eng has a lot of good teachers. Engr. Jes Tirol, who used to be the dean was an Isko. He kept on referring to his UP days and what the teachers were like and how their training was like. He wanted the training to be the same... i guess. (Only that the teacher are more caring and understanding in UB. hehehe!)
 

yah, uwag, biga... lust, sensuality, passion...

The BACH Council Committee on Literary Arts with members from Kaliwat ni Karyapa held a part 2 of BBB (Balut, Beer, ug Balak) last Feb 14 here at the Plaza Rizal. One gets a beer and a balut if one volunteers to read or render a balak.

Our theme for that evening was "Gabii sa Gugma ug Biga." We can talk about biga, right? Talk about the lack of it or the issues regarding the word whether negative or positive in the mileau of gender sensitivity, reproductive health rights or just plain uwag. We even tapped the United Nation Population Fund (UNFPA) to help us during the event. Although, wa kaabot ang funds kay 11th hour na man, diha man gihapoy moral support!

However, during the BACH Council meeting prior to the event, members from the academe, the DEP-ED and other "conservative" sectors (most came from the Heritage Section of the Council) disliked the idea. Members from the Arts Section liked it, though. There was an open debate about the use of the word biga. The original word was even, "uwag." Yesterday, we liked the word kundat! hehehe!

hehe! roy explained it to me yesterday...i'm learning (the word, ha!)

Hehe! Just wanna know pila ka mga tawo diri og kinsa sila.

Great! I'm proud of you, Ashton!

Good point, Fiel. PGMA is working hand in hand with PHO and CHO for the P-H-E Campaign. Global Warming is one of the issues here. You can contact Dr. Casano of CHO also. She's very active. She's the program director of the city's P-H-E campaign.

Unsay "kundat," mike?

Fiel, you were dashing in your white tops!

Congratulations, Roy! 

this is nice. kahilakon ko. i remember when my yaya left and i waited for her for a long time. she never came back. i was six then. i called her "mama." i met her again when i was in college. that was the last time. she died years after due to breast cancer. i still cry when i remember her and how i waited for her.

hehehe! karon pa ko kabasa ani... i'm here.

I have a love-hate relationship with UB. Can't explain it here. I am just so happy some of you look back to your UB days with pride.

TO ALL UBIANS... keep up the trinity of virtue... scholarship, character, and service!
