Lightning bolts appear above and around the Chaiten volcano as seen from Chana, some 30 kms (19 miles) north of the volcano, as it began its first eruption in thousands of years, in southern Chile May 2, 2008. Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them. Picture taken May 2, 2008. (Carlos Gutierrez)

æˆ' æ,,› ç¥–æ¯è¿æ°" = Wo Ai Ni Zu Mu Yun Qi( I Love My Lola!!!)

Wo Ai Ni Zumu Nating!!! ...I love my Lola Nating...

Actually, I would have to translate that properly.

Lola's full name is Fortunata, whose root is Fortune.

The Chinese character for Fortune is written as è¿æ°" and in Pinyin is pronounced as 'Yun Qi' or Yoon Chee

That was Lola's given Chinese name.

So to say I Love You Grandmother Fortunata, I would say : Wo Ai Nee Zumu Yun Qi!

And I would write it as:

æˆ' æ,,› ç¥–æ¯è¿æ°"

I Love Bohol !

Love is written as: æ,,›, so therefore, to write "I Love Bohol" is done by transpositiong the character for Love next to the character that represents Bohol.

We then place the character that represents possession (æˆ') next to love to indicate that we own this love, or we have this love for said object, which is bohol.

æˆ' æ,,› æ³¢è·

I (possessor) Love / Passion for Land of Bohol! (I Love Bohol!)
