In the name of Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Through Christ Jesus, we are all able to do what we do in our life.
In mind and in body.
Through Christ Jesus, Our Lord, who so loved us that he died on the Cross for us.
All that we do, is only a testament to the Love of God.
And I am so touched by all of you guys for your warm words for my upcoming graduation.
I do not deserve such thanks, as I am merely a regular and average student.
I am so touched, guys. Please enough na. Let us give THANKS and PRAISE to our Lord, lang.
Because of HIM we are all in good condition, let us thank Him for the blessings we are given.
All of us, despite what we think, we are given graces every day. Because our Father in Heaven so loves us.

Lord, I pray for the love and success of all of our Tubag Bohol members.
That all of us are given our daily bread for our bones, O Father.
That all of us are given our daily wine and water for our body and spirit, O Father.
Instill within us, Lord Jesus, the faith to go on another day, if in pain, wipe it away, Father.
If in hardships, give us the strength to hold our shields, O Father. If in sickness, give us the strength to bear with it, O Father.
For you are our inspiration, our hope, our love, and our shield and guide.

Continue to watch over us, O Father.
In the Name of the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As It was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.
AMEN!!



GOD Bless ALL of US!

Ms. Orchids, powerful kaayo 'ning kantaha, no? The lyrics of this song is so deep; painfully deep.

This song, is the song of Filipino parents.
Mama
Papa
Ina
Ama
Tatay
Nanay
Mommy
Daddy

Whatever we call them, this song is for them. Their yearnings, and their dream in their children.

I cannot help but shed a tear when I hear this song. When I hear this song, I think about the life story of my Papa Titing, Mama Luz--the parents of my father. I can't help but cry, uy, because all that I can see is how poor they were in their childhood. My late Papa Titing was from a very very poor family in Leyte--ning anhi siya sa Bohol througha pumpboat when he was only 8 years old. Can you imagine? At such an age he left his family to survive--to get out of Pintuyan Island.

Na luuy lang pood ang Ginoo niya, naka kuha siya ug job, sa business. Ning work siya intawn sa merkado, selling goods as a boy-boy. Na luuy pood ang Ginoo naka successful pood ahong Papa Titing in what he did. Gi hatagan siya ug grasya sa Ginoo--ning minyoo siya sa ahong Mama Luz. And naka anak sila ug 7 children. My father was their eldest born.

My father would tell me his family story--luuy kaayo sila. This song--is the only emotional way that I can digest everything in. Even though I was never alive to see my Papa Titing (he died in 1979, May the Lord God bless his soul, grant my Papa Titing eternal rest and peace, O Lord), yet I can see him, Ms. Orchids.

This song breaks my heart--it cuts it and allows me to cry--and to visualize my Papa Titing. In my mind, I can see him dancing, laughing, I can see him carrying my Dad, I can see him dancing with my Mama Luz. I can hear his laughter, even though I never met him.
Maka hilak pood ko ani, pero this song is so powerful. Beautiful kaayo ang lyrics.

Ms. Orchids, sorry lang ko kaayo kai wa ka naka meet sa imong papa.

Lyrics

Nang isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw
At ang nanay at tatay mo'y
Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo
At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay
Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka
Ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo

Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
Nais mo'y maging malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Naging matigas ang iyong ulo

At ang payo nila'y sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na
Ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo
Pagkat ang nais mo'y
Masunod ang layaw mo
Di mo sila pinapansin

Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo'y naligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong,"anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan"
At ang iyong mata'y biglang lumuha ng di mo pinapansin
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

The classic of all classics.
The song that reminds me of my late Lola Nating, Mama Luz, Papa Titing.

The hard times my parents experienced in their child hood days. I think this song illustrates that generation. And it also ushers truth to the present.

My favorite Filipino song

So it also conquered Japan eh?

Some of the animals within the continuum of God's Green Earth that seem 'extraordinary', but beautiful and rare, nonetheless.


Inch Worm
(Geometridae)



Basking Shark
(Cetorhinus maximus)



American Bison
(Bison bison)



Giraffe
(Giraffa camelopardalis)





Please share,

Are there alot of Bisayans in California, 'te?

Gamay ra man jud diri sa New Jersey. Only a pocket few.

My eyes cannot leave the picture.

Stunning, I can almost feel the wind wipe my face.

Tugnaw na ba ang temperature sa Leyte karoon, Bem?

hehe, wow uy. You need to open a restaurant, 'te. A Filipino Take Out and Bakery at the same time.

Sure ko, it will be a success.

You guys will be with me in graduation day.
Promise ko, I will take enough pictures

Evilly delicious!

These pictures will entice all the cookie monsters of Tubag Bohol.

I'm happy you were able to get a family-get-together, 'te. Its always a blessing to be able to gather love ones together and friends at the same time. May the love of Christ continue to burn in your heart. With passion of love and friendliness, may that never recede in your heart. In Jesus' Name.



Salamat for sharing your life with us, Ate Ging.

Thanks for passing your lovely cookies and cakes with all of us. You are a beautiful woman, sister, aunt, wife, daughter, grandchild and friend. You illustrate it so clearly in your hand-made delicacies.

The spice of life burns in you, 'te!

Bless you!

Nostalgic kaayo, no?

Beautiful ballad, imho.

Lyrics

Talk to me tonight
Is everything alright
Help me understand you

You go out with your friends
And talk to other men
And our love life is a wasteland

And with the change and new test of faith
To help us through tomorrow
A condition of the love we made

Chorus:
Cause things wont change without you
Forfeit the lies that maimed you
Wanna dance with the lions and change things
But I can't do it without you

You told me I'm the one
And now you're out of love
In your eyes it's hard to find you

If we could take some time
And cut out all the lies
I'd find a heart more stable

And with the change and new test of faith
To help us through tomorrow
A condition of the love we made

So take it easy girl
You're falling through the night
Your Mona Lisa eyes
Will comfort me the rest of my life

Chorus
Chorus

And when love is in your life
I will never say goodbye
We stand alone tonight
Without you
Without you

And when love is in your life
I will never say goodbye
We stand alone tonight
Without you
Without you

You
You
Without you

Lyrics

To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering

When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who struggles with being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

This song is a very sentimental and heart-touching song for me. An inspirational melody when times are rough.
Enjoy, guys.

 Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Lyrics

When I think of all I've seen
Nothing compares to what you give
And to drink of what you bring
You quench the thirst for me to live
I am satisfied by what tenderness you've shown to me
And I empty all that I am

And you fill my life
You're everything to me
There's nothing else I need anymore
And I know you are everything to me
And there's nothing else I need anymore

I have tasted
And I know this fire birthed inside will only grow
And I've sought all that this world tried to offer me
And it lead me to your feet
And I empty all that I am

And you fill my life
You're everything to me
There's nothing else I need anymore
And I know you are everything to me
And there's nothing else I need anymore

I will lay down all my needs and you will come and make them new
To make you my only desire, my desire
And you fill my life
You're everything to me

And you fill my life
You're everything to me
There's nothing else I need anymore
And I know you are everything to me
And there's nothing else I need anymore

There's nothing else I need

You know what I also find rather amazing, Mr. Ferniz?
Life. And its uncontrollable nature.


I recently read a manuscript entitled  Environmental Science Today, there was one article in there that caught my attention. The basis of the study was the mutative capabilities of genetically designed potatoes and tomatoes. The study focused on these said vegetables, which were designed so that during  embryogenesis, these plants would over-express fruit formation therefore it translates in a larger potatoe plant, or tomatoe plant despite soil concentration, richness of soil etc.

The years of the geneticists in developing the perfect promoter sequence that would induce transcription of a certain gene that would allow the bearing of fruit. They were meticulous in making sure that repressors that would inhibit growth would be genetically and completely removed. All of this was designed in a sterile environment in a laboratory.

However, when the seeds were planted in a particular farm, the vegetables did not grow according to expectations under stressful environment. Even though it was genetically designed to grow effectively under trying environment.

The reason for this, they concluded after post-mortem examination of said plant tissue, was the fact that plants, like any life, have a counter-repression ability.

These genetically engineered plants, despite man-made, have the ability to repress man-made promoters. This tells us that within the genome of a plant, deep regions of the genome, there is some kind of marker--some kind of activator that tells a plant to do something totally unexpected. Beyond our knowledge, we don't know what causes this. This is so called 'mutanogenisis'; the same pathway that causes diseases and causes breakdown.

Life, truly is unpredictable and can never be truly contained or retained. As even man-made, genetically modified man-made mutants can revert back to pre-mutation. I am awed by that ability. For a plant to do that! Now if a simple prokaryotic plant can do that, can you imagine the abilities of higher tiered organisms, such as Humans (the apex of animalia).

It is as if nature beckons to us that man-made procedures are sometimes unnatural. Untrue.
Life, as it is unstable, unpredictable, is also designed to last for a finite amount of time. As a seed plant is born, so will it grow, reproduce, and eventually abate. There is a simple and beautiful cycle in it, and in my belief--as though I would like to think there is a way to maintain longevity in humans--maybe a way to genetically turn 'off' death. I know it cannot be so. Though there are many scientists who believe that it can be so.

I personally think it cannot be. If we cannot even completely understand a simple tomatoe or potatoe, how can we even begin to fathom the ability of man-induced immortality. Nature, as it always has, would just find a way to over-express death, or inhibit man-made promoters.



The brilliance of God in how he made his creations, all organisms from the little fruit to the great Elephant, never ceases to amaze me. What a beautiful and powerful creator and designer of life. Of nature.

I am truly amazed that such programs are occurring in the Philippines. Genetically-designed plants for environmental and energy purposes is what defines the progress of a certain nation towards the future.

I currently work with Dr. Klein, who herself is doing research with other colleagues in other research universities in designing a peroxidase sequence that identifies what part of synergy and during embryogenesis of a plant that certain stages of Phytophthora Root Rot occurs. They are right now, successfully cloning and identifying a particular peroxidase sequence and within that sequence, the basal nucleotides that composes the protein sequence that makes up the greater peroxidase. When they completely identify a particular peroxidase sequence responsible for the manifestation of Phytophthora Root Rot, they can, thereby, go in and suppress that particular protein sequence through genetic therapy. Through seed-by-seed oversuppression techniques.

I have worked with Dr. Klein in the genetic cloning of Brassica Rapa and Arabidopsis Thaliana tissues, in order to harvest specific peroxidase sites (cotyledons, stem, root, tissue). For purposes of finding a genetic comparison.

The effects of this, if Dr. Klein and her research colleagues are able to identify it, translates in the hundreds of millions of dollars saved for farmers in the United States and abroad. The positives of plant-based cloning is that we clone ever part of a plant, and sequentially identify and mark every aspect of a particular species' genome.

We cannot do that to humans. As it would be a violation of most (if not all) moral and ethos practices.

OT: What part of Mindanao did you buy your land, Mr. Ferniz? I am impressed with the energy-oriented activities in the agrarian industry in the Philippines. The country really is going progressive. Even if it is only in a case-by-case basis.

hahaha, okey ra man, pare.

You know the saying.

'Better to have a keg than a six pack' LoL

To the Allegheny College Class of 2008!

To God, goes all Glory and Praise!
Happy lang ko naa lang ko gamay ug brain, hehe.

Seriously tho, 'te. Salamaat kaayo uy. Di na ko gusto mo read ani kai im already starting to cry
My thoughts are all over the place: graduation, parents, you guys, my friends, leaving friends behind, memories, looming graduation, an end to college etc.

This weekend has been an emotional train for me and my friends. Salamaat, I mean it.
I love you guys.

Quote from: Ginger on April 26, 2008, 06:02:37 PM
In relation to ms da binsi's rhyme thread, I also want to start another one with all time favorite tongue twisters.

I'll start:

She sells sea shells in the sea shore.

Peter piper pick a pack of pickled pepper.

ah, ha!



Sam's shop stocks short spotted socks.

haha! di ko, sir.

I admit I haven't completely indulged in Osborne's works.

Mo fail ko ani. lol

Its getting hot in here, so maybe we should take off our clothes..
ha,

joke!

[mp3tube]71b5418ff8bacb883ec1f01830238791[/mp3tube]

Teng, more power to you, bro.

Bitaw no, I really like Mr. Lindy's proposal.

Support ko ani.

Ate, please stop. Mo hilak man jud ko ani ron.

Ah, a very keen reader, you are, Scott.

I must admit, Osborne has an interesting view of Eastern Reality.

Great tastes, sir.

Bitaw no?

As for me, who cares if he's in sho-bizz or not.
So long as he's content with his life doing what he's doing now. Okey raman.

Personally, I would rather be working as a noble farmer and owning my own land and not worrying about what the millions of people thought about me--having to bend my back to qualm their every will and needs. I would prefer a life of a farmer, or a driver--at least naa'y independence, diba?

So what hard ang life, so long as its an honest and good life, diba?
Better to listen to God's voice alone, and not to that of strange men.


But that is just my personal opinion.

haha mao bitaw no. Lami bitaw ni iparis sa sikwati.

Ah, jati pood ni, nagutum naman jud ko ani da!

Hahaha

OT: Keep up with the philosophy books, bro. Topic aside, I must admit I was impressed by your defense of personal rights, fraternity, and individualism. Your words ring semblance to that of the discourse in the French Revolution. "Liberté, égalité, fraternité"

Very Robespierre-esque and Marat-esque of you.

On that note, what kind of books do you read diay?

My question lang is, what did Jerome Sala do to embarass Bohol?

Honest question lang.

Na unsa gud ni. Okey guys, enough na uy.

Scott, naa koy kape diri, anyone have some pandesal to go with it? Share2x ta!

Hahaha, yes sir. It was a pleasure to talk to you again

All the best,

Balanced diet jud, Mr. Balong.

Kuyawa jud ka, Mr. Balong. Top 10 jud sa engineering exams!

Salute ko nimo, sir.

Mr. Balong,

My prime goal, sir, is to go back to Bohol every year to provide medical care to poor barangays. I have considered going and joining Doctor's without borders after medical school, maluuy ang Ginoo ma human ko.

Reading stories about Filipino children being afflicted with treatable and preventable conditions such as malaria, dengue fever, food deprivation, cancer, HIV AIDs etc always brings me to tears. I hope lang sir, maka contribute lang ko, even if gamay ra.

Mr. Balong, salamat kaayo sir for giving a little to those in need. You are an inspiration for us pood, sir.
You have my utmost respect, sir.

God Bless you.

Mike, I like this idea, sir.

Very much so.

Smiffy,

Continue lang sa imung studies, buddy.
Stick to your studies no matter what. I know you're smart, because you have the love of chemistry.

I wish you luck on your college career, I know that you will achieve high marks.

My advice lang is this: Be greedy when it comes to studying. Always prioritize studying when classes and work require it. After exams, always, always, treat yourself out.


And most of all, let us never forget our parents.
Our grandparents and the sacrifices they made for us.


God Bless US! All of Us!

Ate Edelweiss, Mr. Balong and all,

Please, I am truly unworthy. It is only a small achievement. Instead let us recognize the Allegheny College class of 2008. All of my batchmates. Here is to us Allegheny graduates! To all our hard work, our sacrifices, and our non-ending hope. Hope that we will not falter, and if we do--the ability to rise up from the fall.

To my batchmates, and my friends who have made an impact to Allegheny College, our beloved Alma Mater. To all our family members and to our friends.

And most of all, I ask and pray that the Lord God continue to bless us, all of us, to pursue our career moves. Our graduate or professional studies. Through Christ Our Lord, through Him, NOTHING is impossible.

To my fellow students who are studying or are struggling, JUST remember these precious words.
Don't you ever give up. Believe me, when the going gets tough, increase your faith in God. And He will bless you with the ability to do what you must. 

Quote
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
~Luke 11:9

QuoteIf ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
~John 15:7

Mr. Ben,

Salamat kaayo, sir, for your kind words. This song touched me, bringing me to tears.
I'm glad that you liked the song, sir, I hope that this song inspires many others as it did me.

This song can basically culminate my feelings right now, sir.

Emotional and Sentimental.


And may your daughter bring joy and happiness to her beloved father. God Bless you for sharing your feelings to me, Mr. Ben.

Truly,

Oh, when He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the Ritz,
Our God is an awesome God.
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists.
Our God is an awesome God.
And the Lord, He wasn't jokin'
When He kicked 'em out of Eden,
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood,
His return is very close
And so you better be believin' that our
God is an awesome God.

Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above,
With wisdom, pow'r and love,
Our God is an awesome God.

And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night,
Our God is an awesome God.
He spoke into the darkness and created the light.
Our God is an awesome God.
The judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom,
The mercy and grace He gave us at the cross,
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that our
God is an awesome God.

Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above,
With wisdom, pow'r and love,
Our God is an awesome God.

Our God is an awesome God.
Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above,
With wisdom, pow'r and love,
Our God is an awesome God.
Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above,
With wisdom, pow'r and love,
Our God is an awesome God.

Beautiful! Song!

Lyrics

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled

A heart that's hopeful
A head that's full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems

Feels like I'm
Looking for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me

Hear me asking
Where do I belong?
Is there a vision
That I can call my own?

Show me, I'm
Looking for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

Lookin' for a reason
Roamin' through the night to find
My place in this world

This music brings me to tears whenever I hear it.

I heard this song in the radio station today, and I was brought to deep tears as I was talking to my friends.
To Don, Bryan, Lisa, Edwina, Nicole, JC, guys, I Love you uy! Ma mingaw na jud ko ninyo tanan!

Someday, guys! We MUST meet up again!

Wherever we go, wherever Providence directs us, let us keep our head up high and look to the Sun.

I love you, guys! You guys are my support staff. Thank You, my friends, for raising me up when I fell down. God truly has blessed me with such beautiful and loving friends.

I truly am humbled uy. However, I am more scared for the beginning of Medical School this Sept, 2008.

I will just put my trust in God, and find strength in the warm words of you, guys.

Know that I truly appreciate it. Ma uwaw ug ma hilak pood ta ani, uy.

God Bless all of us! Every single one of us. My prayers and my thanks to all of you.

Wow! Dodong, I am speechless. Congratulations to you.

I really am just an average student, Ate Glen.

It is your son, Ondoy Kyle, who is a very smart young man.
I see alot of myself in him. Your son is a truly intelligent young man. I was not that smart when I was his age. Keep him in the right path, in studies, and work. He is like his mother and father, both intelligent and decent human beings.

Tell him I am very very proud of him.

I am humbled, my dear Ate Belle.

I am only a mere simple Boholano.
And a native of Valencia.


To God, the Most Giving, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Be All Glory and Praise.

Gimingaw ko aning mga idara kay makalingaw.

Absolutely Adorable.

The pleasure is mine, Madam Langgam.


For me, these flowers are symbolic. They represent the Class of 2008.
The leaves that sprout the aged white oaks around our campus reminds of our continued journey.

I will not be around campus to see these very leaves turn orange and brown in Autumn Season.

The thought of that, and parting from my friends and not seeing my Professors again brings un-stoppable tears to my eyes.

May 11, 2008, 'te.

Yours truly will graduate Summa Caum Lade
Dean's Lister, Trustees Scholar, Honors Biology and  Honors History Scholar.

I cannot hold my tears.

I only have 2 more weeks left, 'te.

O Beautiful Alma Mater,
Let the Sun Radiate thy Bosom.

-Carved Poem, Allegheny College Class of 1924.















My Sacred Alma Mater,
The Prestigious Allegheny College

How beautiful thou art, o Alma Mater, thou hast purchased the flower of thy student's eyes'.
To thy sacred white marbled pillars, dost thy students return. The Pillars of knowledge, of grace, of intuition.
In Life we adore thee, in graduation-we weep in leaving thee. And in Death, our memories pass on.
Yet, you hold our sacred memory within thy precious walls. Never forgotten.

That is why it is key that all scientists who partake in the elucidation of humanity to genetics , be respectful towards human rights, animal rights, and assure the goal of research is for the betterment of man. Not the antithesis.

The grasp of genetics can either unravel the causes of certain disease pathways, certain genetic abnormalities and plausible treatments. However, there are those who would take advantage of such discoveries to create and genetically enhance known diseases/viruses for purposes of destruction. For death. For War.

As we speak, there are those who engage in both sides of the spectrum.

Dawn has flashed up the startled skies,
Night has gone out beneath the hill
Many sweet times; before our eyes
Dawn makes and unmakes about us still
The magic that we call the rose.
The gentle history of the rain
Has been unfolded, traced and lost
By the sharp finger-tips of frost;
Birds in the hawthorn build again;
The hare makes soft her secret house;
The wind at tourney comes and goes,
Spurring the green, unharnessed boughs;
The moon has waxed fierce and waned dim:
He knew the beauty of all those
Last year, and who remembers him?

Love sometimes walks the waters still,
Laughter throws back her radiant head;
Utterly beauty is not gone,
And wonder is not wholly dead.
The starry, mortal world rolls on;
Between sweet sounds and silences,
With new, strange wines her beakers brim:
He lost his heritage with these
Last year, and who remembers him?

None remember him: he lies
In earth of some strange-sounding place,
Nameless beneath the nameless skies,
The wind his only chant, the rain
The only tears upon his face;
Far and forgotten utterly
By living man. Yet such as he
Have made it possible and sure
For other lives to have, to be;
For men to sleep content, secure.
Lip touches lip and eyes meet eyes
Because his heart beats not again:
His rotting, fruitless body lies
That sons may grow from other men.

He gave, as Christ, the life he hadÑ
The only life desired or known;
The great, sad sacrifice was made
For strangers; this forgotten dead
Went out into the night alone.
There was his body broken for you,
There was his blood divinely shed
That in the earth lie lost and dim.
Eat, drink, and often as you do,
For whom he died, remember him.
























Lo! History has come. Lo! Thy body resteth on sacred ground for many a year.
Lo! Life has come and gone. Fleeting with time in constant passing, in non-ending rapture.
Yet, in colloquial silence, there is peace. For you were. You lived. You felt.
So you will NEVER truly be forgotten. Though long gone now, you existed.

And so,therefore,  never truly forgotten.

The stars are coming out to play

Trying to be funny @ work. 

Yes, very well said, Ate Ging.

The medical team should be punished severely as a way to set precedent; a warning to other professionals not to do something like this again.

As for the patient, why he placed a foreign object up his anal canal is his own business. He shouldn't be awarded any monetary gain. He was the one that put himself on that predicament. He should have known the consequences of doing that...

I am more shocked on the actions of the physicians not so much on the homosexual patient.
As physicians, they should uphold themselves to the sacred Hippocratic oath they swore upon graduation of medical school. The physician saves, repairs, cures and aids in the healing of the body. Not the antithesis.

I know this incident is just a minority case. Not all Filipino physicians-surgeons are like this.
The Filipino doctor is competent and one of the best. I know this for a fact.

My summer plans right after graduation is to work. I need to make money.

Overtime, baby.

I've read reports on ethnic genetics, there was one study that tried to locate any differences of loci from different samples around the world. In the experiment, the data were grouped into 9 regional populations studied for 49 alleles and haplotypes belonging to 20 polymorphic loci. Average genetic distances from the all-world human gene pool to each of regional one, and from these to gene pools of ethnic groups within regions were estimated and compared.

It is possible to do a specified research; a case study on Aboriginal gene presence in certain south east asian regions. The problem we come into is funding. Gene sequencing and analysis for a large population sample (it would be necessary to evade Type II analysis error) would cost millions of dollars.

Isn't it funny how in the long run, money always is the last indicator? The prime factor?

On that note,

Development of repressors, anti-repressors, inhibitors, inducer drugs is a difficult endeavor. The reason for this is that all gene sequences are composed of specific nucleotide base pairs:
C (Cytosine), A (Adenine), T (Thymine) and G (Guanine) and therefore gene sequences are sensitive to changes in these base pairs. Some drugs that have repressive,anti-repressive ability, inhibitory, inducer ability have been known to alter nucleotides and the amino-acids in base.

This is why it is so difficult. I myself have aided some of my Professors in developing a specific transcription abolisher in the plant tissue of Brassica Rapa as well as in the Arabidopsis thaliana. In studies, we have been able to locate a particular peroxidase primer sequence that induces or inhibits transcription. This resulted in over-expression of root growth, or nullificiation of growth.

One of our concerns, as we have noted in studies, is that these sequences are protein-based. And proteins are extremely sensitive to heat. Any diminishment of heat or heightening of heat can manifest problems. In either over expression or sub-expression.

This is why there have been failed trials, in research. Life, is unstable. And every time we set standards to learn, we always end up learning something new, a new dimension in the reality of science and molecular genetics.

I sometimes am agape and wonder in the brilliance of God. In how he designed these templates, the intricacies of the subsystems within a gene is gloriously vast. The gene is as vast as the oceans of the earth compressed into one. And man is paddling in this so called 'gene ocean' with a needle, while attempting to understand it.

For those who need a smile, listen to this song

hehe, you are one of Tubag Bohol's beautiful flowers. That is why the scent is so strong and sweet, mao na daghang visitors diri.

Even if our days don't go according to plan, Ms. Bulak, just keep on smiling. There is no need in letting others ruin our day, diba?

Its my pleasure to talk to a flower.

Noted, Ms. Bulak.

A very interesting read. My view on this matter is conservative-leaning.

lol, ayaw lang pa suko-suko grabi, 'te.

Ma guba imung smile.

I told Bulak the same.

I'm uninstalling YM. No way will I get caught in this.

What?!

This is too much of a coincidence. I seriously think the hacker is a member of this site.

I just wonder..

hahahaha hadloka uy!

Na gawas jud imung warai-warai, da!

*Gives you Keris and runs and hides*

hahahaha, sige, we'll cry together, okay?

He just doesn't learn the lesson, diba 'te?

Reminds me of the story of Exodus. The Hebrews were given signs, upon signs by God.
Delivered from bondage, the opening of the Red Sea, the plague of Egypt, and still they worshiped idols.
Only after they were punished, did they learn. And even after that, they transgressed yet again.

hahaha, not too hard, Ms. Bulak.

Mo hilak pood ko ana.

men talk

Hear hear! When we find him, 'te, I'll spear him for you. Then we can roast the SOB!

Adobong hijacker!

like wise

Case in point. In the end, the only opposition we have to achieving patrimony is ourselves. Corrupt officials and politicians that deviate from the present course; in order to fill their own pockets.

Though I do not accept NPAs and the like, I can sympathize for them and their deluded supporters. Theirs is a tale of desperation. Government will not hear them nor are they willing to compromise. Thus there are clashes.

The same scenario is seen with Muslim extremists in the south. Despite their ideological differences, muslims extremists and NPA rebels are all in the same fold. Terrorists and insurrectionists.

They would doom the entire republic, if given the choice, for their own selfish goals. Sacrifice the many for the few.

Alas, human ideologue is self destructive, isn't it?

dealer-ship

Noodle soup and hot dogs.

hahahaha, now I have a craving for chicken adobo.

Jati!

Well said, Ms. Bulak.

Tinuud jud what they say about power and corruption, "Absolute power corrupts Absolutely."
Mr. Estrada is a living example. President Marcos, even.

Ang problem in this is that communism is a failed system. Human nature trumps the concept of the utopianism offered in communism.

Additionally, the religiosity of Filipinos will clash with the state-aethiesm of communism.

To me, the NPA is nothing more than a rag-tag group of non-conformists. Terrorists. Insurrectionists.

Mr. Estrada should wipe any thoughts of the presidential bid. He will only embarass this country again. Mr. Estrada, please, just enjoy your retirement and the pardon you were given.

Leave politics to real politicians.


Truly,
A concerned Filipino

hahaha. 'te I will roast all the pigeons I kill and adobo-ize them. Right in front of the PETA.
Al Gore can eat with me if he wants. So long as he eats with me in kinamot style.

haha, if you were here, I would allow you to punch my arm. Pero not so hard, lang. lol

Joke!

Sexy, Beautiful, kaayo ni sila, uy.

Hmmm

I'm so sorry, Ms. Bulak. You know what always helps when I'm angry?

Try punching your pillow multiple times, just let the anxiety out of your system.

As for this hijacker, Karma always bites back.

Don't stress too much, kai ma guba imung beautiful smile.

Perhaps there is a way to trace and arrest this vandal if you will report it to your federal agents.

The internet is being monitored by the FBI and if you file a complaint they will surely take note.

What we are writing here, the FBI is already reading and probably they have already traced the guy doing this. But any complaint affecting only few people will be ignored.

I believe so, too. Big Brother is always watching. 

Talk about 1984-ish, lol

Ok ra Doy Bran,

Nakachat ko ahat dire ron tungod aning hijacker. Basin si Mike ni kay aron makabalik ko dires TB. he..he.. joke Mike.

Miss you all guys. But have to work now. Until next time.

Love you all.

Kram!

Hope all is well for you dinha, Tita. As always lang, i-hatag ahong regards sa imung pamilya.
Till next time,

Bran

But of course, I believe in personal contact

And is there a name I can call you by, Ms. Bulak?

PS. Keep on smiling, ha.

Release all your frustrations, ladies.

It helps.
