mas to the point and 96.

though i don't personally know you, st. agnes, you know how we, friends and strangers alike, can all be one when it comes to shared human experiences.  this is to let you know that you are in our prayers. 

may i share this one line forwarded to me long ago; it had helped me go on, many times, when i hit bottom, many times:  THE WILL OF GOD WILL NOT TAKE YOU WHERE THE GRACE OF GOD WILL NOT PROTECT YOU.

keep that smile on your face!   

taym sa ra god.  mao ba ni ang conching lim nga miadto sa u.s. with her daughter some years back, and then bought a one-page ad at the bohol chronicle thanking their hosts in the u.s.?  kahibulongan jud kadtong ad.  naglisod kog respeto sa nagpasalamat.  first, ang gipasalamatan tua sa u.s.  nganong ibansiwag pa man sa newspaper sa bohol?  wa ba diay sila nakapasalamat daan pagbabay nila sa ilang hosts didto sa u.s.?  second, giklaro sa ad nga ilahang kaungalingon ang plete pag-adto.  sapajan pa ba?  it goes without saying, di ba?  not unless those travelers had something to hide...

that ad made idiots out of readers.  i hope that ad did not speak for conching lim and her regard for boholanos.  more, i hope that ad was of another lim of valencia.

as of now, my vote for vice-governor goes to no one.    

hahaha!  mokisikisi man pod ang lalaki ani.  but mind you, and lolang kunot, galing ug pareha sa frog prince.  a kiss from true love, and she will turn into a young girl... nga kunot.

and the moonshine always gleams
for political posters and their screams.
in tubagbohol threads, they shamelessly
parade their zombie bets with annabel lee.   

as for admitting, he really had no choice. 

guiness book of world records?  this is preposterous.  kalooy sa libro, giangin-angin.  leave the lying to the politicians.  supporters should at least tell the truth.  if it was a short session, so be it.  but leave the book alone.

for vice governor:  carolla o david?

help provide some semblance of intelligence and fun in this forum, please.  (consider how benelynne tackles the issue of a candidate's character in another thread; that is real honest-to-goodness discourse.)  tubagbohol i believe is not the venue for politicking and ego tripping.   

This is the parenthetical last paragraph of Winnie Monsod's Get Real column, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 27 February 2010:

(To whom it may concern: I am not the author of an e-mail going around titled “Why I will vote for Noynoyâ€"Winnie Monsod.” To the real author/s: Hiding behind others is cowardly. Stand up and be counted. To everybody else: Any statement attributed to me can be very simply checked by referring to this column, or my column in BusinessWorld [Calling A Spade], or a blog under my name in GMA News.TV.)


The following is another article of hers in the same column and broadsheet dated 05 February 2010, which proves equally interesting:

Get Real

Refuting Manny’s defenders

By Solita Collas-Monsod
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:33:00 02/05/2010

IN RESPONSE TO LAST WEEK’S COLUMN where I presented some incontrovertible facts regarding the ethics case against Sen. Manny Villar, I received an e-mail from one Danilo Suarez of Quezon City. He wrote: “Read your column re your take on C5 and Sen. Villar’s ‘involvement.’ In the interest of fairness, I exhort you, as a supporter of Sen. Villar, to also check his official website and his side on the matter. I trust you would put this out as you search for the truth …. Looking forward to reading about it in your column.”

My reply: “Dear Mr. Suarez, If there is anything erroneous in any of the statements of fact that were published in my column, please feel free to point them out, together with the documents you have that will allow me to verify that they are indeed erroneous. As you may have noticed, the A’s in my column can be verified by documents and uncontroverted statements from official sources, which I was very careful to cite, precisely so that readers like you can check them. I am certainly glad that Mr. Villar has aired his side on his website. That is his choice. It is mine to look at the government documents and the sworn testimony that are part of the Senate record. I look forward to Mr. Villar’s defending himself in a venue that allows for clarificatory questions and refutations. That is, after all, part and parcel of transparency and accountability that are so necessary for good governance. Regards.”

The Inquirer also forwarded me an e-mail from Ma. Nalen Rosero-Galang, who identifies herself as legal counsel for Senator Villar. I also received a paper titled “C-5 sound and fury: Is Monsod painting the full picture? Student rebukes professor” by Ricardo G. Barcelona of Spain, who identifies himself firstly as “a former student of Prof. Monsod,” before going on to reciting the rest of his impressive curriculum vitae. I am honored that he considers his being my former student (albeit a rebuking one) more important than the rest of his professional achievements.

For the most part, both Galang and Barcelona do not contest the facts presented in last week’s column. An exception is when Galang asserts that “There is no evidence whatsoever that the alignment of the C5 Road Extension was determined by Senator Villar, or that its alignment was changed in order that it should pass through the real estate properties of Senator Villar’s companies.” Excuse me, Ms Galang: May I remind you that per the Department of Public Works and Highways, Senator Villar conceptualized and initially funded both the CX-5 and the Las Piñas-Parañaque Link Road project. That is in black and white in the DPWH project feasibility studies.

Both do contest what I considered a reasonable conclusion: that since there was already an ongoing (MCTEP) linking C-5 to the Coastal Road, it was unnecessary (and therefore wasteful) to build a second one. Galang argues that both were necessary, given the “worsening traffic condition (sic) in Parañaque, Las Piñas and Cavite.” Barcelona argues that it was not a case of wastefulness, but rather of creating choices for motorists.

To Ms Galang: where in urban Philippines are traffic conditions not worsening? To Mr. Barcelona: MCTEP was conceived precisely to create choices for motorists. There already exists a current road network, toll-free, that will allow motorists to move from SLEX to the Coastal Road. MCTEP would give them the choice of going from point A to Point B more quicklyâ€"as long as they are willing to pay for the convenience. Giving motorists a third choice, in the context of competing demands on scarce resources, cannot beâ€"never mind, should not beâ€"defended. Giving motorists a third choice, while at the same time ensuring that the third-choice road passes through Villar-owned properties (I notice neither Galang nor Barcelona refuted the 50-52 hectare area involved), is even less defensible.

Then there is the matter of zonal valuation. Barcelona is correct to point out a seemingly inconsistent set of estimates: In my column, I stated (not suggestedâ€"it is a matter of arithmetic), that the Villar lots were acquired at an average price of P7,168/sq m while non-Villar properties went for P1,880/sq m. In my analysis for News on Q, which was earlier taped, the figures I gave were P11,520 and P2,922 respectively (not the P11,000 and P4,500 that Barcelona cites. Tsk.). Inconsistent? No. The P11,520 figure refers only to the properties that are directly Villar-owned. The P7,168 figure refers to direct properties and those in joint-venture with Villar companies. Please note that I used the lower figures in my column.

To Barcelona: Do not put words in my mouth. I was not suggesting that capital gains linked to proximity to public works should accrue to government. And there is a world of difference between the Hacienda Luisita issue and the Villar properties issue: (1) Noynoy Aquino probably owns less than 2 percent of Luisita, Villar owns 100 percent of his properties; and (2) Villar conceived and initially funded CX-5/LPPLP; Aquino had zilch to do with SCTEX. Tsk.

Moral of the story: Do not rebuke your teacher using insinuations and without full knowledge of the facts. My fault is that I didn’t teach him any better.

Finally, I cannot resist quoting Joker Arroyo, circa 1998: “So in the case of Speaker Villar, it is simple. If he wants to go/continue in business and deal with government financial institutions, he can do so but he cannot also be a congressman. If he wants to be a congressman, then he must not be in business which deals with the government. We have to pay a price.” Amen.

unsa na man ni?  ikiha ba ang amahan kay nang-rape ang anak?  ikiha ba si tony blair kay nakapusil ug nakapatay ang british soldiers sa afghanistan, kosovo ug iraq?  o si george bush ba kaha?  some people just love to ride on the bandwagon.

aaaargh.  what a speech of an ateneo cum laude and a wharton alum.

he already apologized but the damage has been done and it's not repairable.

he already did?  yes, bnc, the damage is irreparable.  besides, this is old hat.  too many actors, politicians and mediamen alike and heaven knows what and who else, have used this same trick.  do or say something controversial enough to elicit adverse reactions from a big group of people (a sector, an organization, advocates or, in our case, a nation) and voila!  one's name gets known and one's bankability can roll.  apologize later.  what's important is name recall; any news is good news anyway as long as one is remembered. 

that's why carolla's apology is insincere.  he may be a moron, but he's not insensate enough not to know before he opened his rotten mouth that what he was going to utter was meant to ridicule a people. 

           

paskang.  kalooy pod intawon.  hinaot unta nga di maing-ani ang gamayng body of water between panglao island and bohol mainland, kanang giagian sa duha ka causeway.  kay kun mauga gani na simbako lang, na, laing airport na pod ang himoon, o kaha ibalhin ang giplanohan nga reclamation.     

lizord si montano kay madala unja ang ijang pagka-artista sa pagka-gobernador.  arang, naa unjay mga karatolang dagko nga 'through the efforts of...', pero ang litrato, si montano nga naka-brief, kay sija ang poster boy sa warren briefs.

dugangan pa, kusog kuno ni manginjan.  artista gud, so star.  angay lang nga mohuwat ang mga peasants, say n'yo?  ug ang ijang asawa?  agaray!  manggawas unjag ahat ang mga xxx-rated nga gigukod jud ug maajo ni montano niadto pa aron mapapas ang tanan.  di na maatol ug gukod.  paskang makalilisang unja ang first lady sa bohol.  whether we like it or not, whether cesar is the best or not, there are a lot more things going when one aims for political leadership.

di baja daling mailad ang mga bol-anon.  kasagaran sa mga artistang dumadaog didto ra sa mga pongkay sa luzon... or so i believe.

i know ms nila itac.  so was i familiar with her late husband.  i shudder at the tests this mother and wife had been through.  her courage shines through.  my prayers for her only daughter's eternal peace.

hehe.  dili, kay wa may plug ang mga mermaids.

Moiknat man pud atong daginotong kilay ani! As for hair, Ms. Isle, you're apparently richly endowed in that department, but you don't seem to have bushy enough eyebrows to make you a kin of Carolla's.

my pic/avatar is lovely, dark, and deep... and while i have miles to go before i sleep, you can't see my bushy eyebrows because the lighting of my photo was careless.  it wasn't ms da binsi who took this shot, that's why.

goodness gracious!  this should be made known to as many voters as possible.  if manny v. wins, cry, the beloved country (with apologies to alan paton).

there he is:



Carolla attended Colfax Elementary School, Walter Reed Junior High, and North Hollywood High School. Carolla never received good grades, graduating with a 1.75 grade point average. He claims to have majored in ceramics. Carolla did not receive his high school diploma until years later, claiming he owed the library $19.95 for a copy of We The People (ISBN 0-385-41903-1).

He was voted class clown and was the captain of his football team. Carolla played Pop Warner football for seven years; he later suggested that being involved in sports saved him from a chaotic home life.

He began living on his own at the age of 18. He briefly attended Los Angeles Valley College, a junior college, where he was placed on academic probation before dropping out to work in a series of jobs, including as a carpet cleaner, carpenter, boxing instructor, and traffic school instructor.

thanks, bnc.  now i've finally seen the face of this long lost cousin of mine!  (we can select our friends but not our relatives.) honest, my hair is better!

hahaha!   enjoy ko sa pagtipas sa topic and at the same time wa diay motipas aning injong mga kalaki da.  mao niy guwapo nga forum.  anything goes.  ang serious, himoon pod nga di serious.  kay unsa gud tuod ang seryoson?  matod pa, the world is a better place if we don't take ourselves too seriously.  salamat sa pag-uli ninjo sa akong buot.  naglisod lang kog dawat nga ig-agaw diay mi ni carolla, mao nga pabagulbolbagulbol lang kunohay una ko.  karon, ahem, yes, we are cousins, but i'm royalty (princesita unggay the first, harharhar!) while he's a peasant.  

“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.”

FALSE.  Surely not.  More than Manny Pacquiao and sex stores (which are very few, really) are numerous malls, busy streets, the Chocolate Hills, Banawe Rice Terraces, halo-halo, tarsiers, 90-million strong Filipinos, and much, much more.  Too bad it seems as though Carolla had never read up anything, except perhaps on Manny Pacquiao, about this country, much less visited it.  How about knowing only of those numerous kinky sex shops in San Francisco or peep shows in New York and concluding that the US is only all about kinky sex and the false boobs of Pamela Anderson?     

“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”

FALSE.  No, no, and no.  The country won't go into depression when Mayweather beats Pacquiao as the US went into depression for 'living beyond its means' (in the words of Paul Krugman, 2008 Nobel Laureate in Economics) helped by credit cards galore.  If Pacquiao is beaten, then he is beaten, and the Philippines will go on in its merry way.  When the US went into depression, it brought the whole world down with it.

So if truth hurts, do untruths tickle?

“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”

FALSE.  Says who?  There ain't nobody here wantin' a guy with brain damage running our  country.  There's a gal at the moment, and though she's vertically challenged, her brain's intact.  And quite more functional than Carolla's, if I may say.  After May 10, we will know of course if some brain-damaged guy will run our country.  But we can manage, y'know.  The US managed with Dubya, remember, Carolla?  (That is, if your brain isn't that damaged.)

“Get a fu**in life as a country”

FALSE.  No question, we have a life.  It's just that Carolla (who dat?) took it upon himself to advise another country as if he has the moral ascendancy.  Obviously he's never been to the Philippines, much less heard of Hayden Kho.  That guy can truly smash Carolla in more ways than one.

“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”

FALSE.  We know there are hundreds of thousands of other guys out there who can smash Carolla just as well.  Those guys may be retirees now, but once upon a time, they almost smashed the Beatles at the Manila airport, circa 1960s.  Read up, Carolla!  

Note that Pacquiao can speak and write in English, aside from his Filipino (Tagalog) and Visayan (Cebuano) languages.  You call that illiterate?  You cannot even speak English without the f-word, Carolla.  Worse, you don't know Tagalog, much less Boholano.  So who is illiterate?  

whoa!  that the truth hurts comes to mind as easy as abc.  but let's look for truths first, if there's any, in this comedian's statements:

1)  "Here's how you know when your country has a lot going for it:  When everything is about Manny Pacquiao."

FALSE.  Our country is not only about Manny Pacquiao.  It's also about EDSA uno and dos and probably tres and quatro ad infinitum, cheap prices (honest), the whole spectrum of creativity, positive outlook, the ability to smile in the midst of tragedy, real good doctors, history and tradition, and many, many more, including elections, noisy politicians and noisier supporters.  Pacquiao is simply current news; here today and probably gone tomorrow.  It's like saying that the US is all about Brangelina.  Which makes me wonder, would it have been truthful if some comedian said years ago that the US is all about Lorena Bobbit and how she cut off her husband's private part?  This was all the rage in US news and commentaries in the late 1990s!

Here's another joke I would like to share with you all;

..   A woman got on a bus holding a baby.

The busdriver said, "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen."

In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus.
The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.

"The bus driver insulted me," she fumed.

The man sympathized and said: "Why, he's a public servant and shouldn't say things to insult passengers."

"You're right" she said. "I think I'll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind."

"That's a good idea" the man said. "Here, let me hold your monkey."

hahaha!  my kind is being insulted here.  but you should hear what we monkeys and our ilk say about humans.

“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”

“Get a fu**in life as a country”

“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”

“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”

Theories and laws can be changed, as much as Aristotle's old Scientific Law that there are 3 elements: fire, air, earth.

where does water figure out?  these 4 elements--- fire, air, earth and water, date back to pre-socratic times. in fact, aristotle added a fifth, ether.

happy ether, er, easter!

Science, is man's attempt in trying to understand the Supreme Intelligence of Divine Providence.

No matter how much we try to comprehend and understand, we will never fully understand.

Even the scientific method, itself, by basis of standard, cannot 100% proove anything.

Merely, only debate and abate in statistical terms in the strength of its confidence interval; in defending a said theory/hypothesis.

Or nullification of said hypothesis/ theorem.

What, for heaven's sake, is "debate and abate in statistical terms in the strength of its confidence interval"?

it looks like bai hubag is playing european football while lorenzo is playing on the ol’ banjo.

no matter how much i try to understand lorenzo, i will never fully understand.  but I can try by calling on my friend encarta.  (i’m not a scholar like him.)

debate and abate â€" as the two are paired here, it must mean to ponder carefully and to lessen the pondering

statistical terms â€" terms of numerical value

confidence interval â€" as interval is a period of time between one event and the next, it is safe to assume here that that there is a lapse of time between confidence and no-confidence

theory - can run the gamut from speculation to rules and techniques

hypothesis - is a theory needing investigation

theorem - is an idea accepted as true, or a provable proposition, or formula in mathematics or logic

in english, lorenzo thus could be saying something like:  “ponder carefully and lessen the pondering of the terms of numerical value in the strength of the lapse of time between confidence and no-confidence in defending technique and speculation that needs investigation.”

or nullification of said hypothesis/theorem could mean making invalid or bringing down to zero a theory that needs investigation and a mathematical formula or an idea that is accepted as true.

how groove can proove be, oh groovy proovy.

you talkin' of a boholano former congressman's son?  or a boholano congressman's daughter, in case gender is not an issue?

Ajaw pod nang fans oist kay mapugos tag kanta ana.  Bitaw jowk ra na. But I appreciate your concern (like the others) for reminding me/us of our "attitude breakdowns" (makaulaw pag-ayo!  )... unbecoming of who we are and what we try to become. I like what Gwargz said on the other thread (I forgot how nice he puts it though)... (Yep here it is, I found it) for some reason, he said, "We In TB share proactive views because as Bol-anons, we are bonded by our roots. We are so proud of our pagka Bol-anon. Bisag wala ta magkakitaay personal but we feel nga amigo na jod kaayo ta. That is what keeps me going in here...." And how easily we forget this when things or when issues sometimes get exciting and we get carried away. I just hope we didn't hurt each other beyond repair... I hope I didn't... (ga duko duko na  )

i guess you'll just have to sing then, chic.  (and compose as well!)

those words of gwargz touched my heartstrings.  (thanks for sharing them here.)  they make me look inside myself--- i wasn't born in bohol nor did i grow up there.  but i think boholano because both my parents were. whenever i'm asked where i come from, my answer is invariably bohol, philippines.  so i keep going back, no matter how i've been to almost all the world's continents. 

glad for forums such as tubagbohol that provide some kind of connections.    

what a tragedy.  may the family brave this loss.

  unsa man atong mahimo ani? maski atong mga politicians hinay2x na ug balhin adto ni Villar? WHAT IF.......dili nato butaran kining ningdagan karon sa linya ni Villar? or kanang mga ningdagan nga namalhin adto ni Villar?  Let Boholanos do this! STRIKE TA! DILI JUD TA MOBOTAR BASTA NAA SA PARTY NI VILLAR. KTA RA JUD MGA BOL-ANON ANG MAKATUBAG ANI UG MAKASULBAD! LET'S BE ONE!

right on, magbalantay!

ngeeeh.  if these are the people who put themselves up as our leaders, we're going to the dogs!

kinsa kahay atong mahangyo nga undangon na unta ni nga practice ug mga karatola?  sa ubang nasod, naa man lagi gihapoy modaog nga politiko bisan wa mangangkon ug projects.  the people will always know without those silly reminders. 

makahangyo ba kaha ta sa mga leaders ani nga forum for an internet campaign to ask up-and-coming officials to make laws to illegalize such billboards?  hinaot unta.  maybe tubagbohol can try?   

eyesores gyod bitaw ning mga karatola oy.  mao gyod nay akong kontra kun mobiyahe sa ato.  imbis motan-aw ta sa sights sa atong biyahe, mas maayo mopiyong na lang aron di ta ma-assaulted aning mga insulto nga karatola.  gibugoan na lang gyod ni sila sa ilang mga botante.

they instead appear desperate, as in anything, basta lang di makalimtan ug mga botante. gamay na lay kuwang nga makabasa ta ug sama niani:  'dinhi nangihi si [elected official]', o di ba 'this project is through the anal efforts of [elected official], that's why he's constipating'.

bunga ba kaha intawon ning morag mass hysteria sa current huwaw ug init sa politiko, dugangan nga kuwaresma pa gyod.  hinaot unta nga naay authorities who will clear this story once and for all, and may the innocents be spared.  

kadtong magsigeg paypay sa dilaob aning istoryaha by making it seem real without basis, on air pa gyod (kuno) to a mass audience, hinaot pod unta nga mauwanan na ni sila aron mapresko ug balik ilang utok.

ug kita dinhing nanggilalis (puwera sa uban nga tarong nga nagpahungaw sa ilang hunahuna ug pagbati ug wa apila ang mga personal nga tira), are we just as honorable?

Quote from: gintonic on March 23, 2010, 02:25:14 PM
Why do we call our politicians HONORABLE?...

DI BA LAIN?

lain jud.  ingnon na lang nato nga ang ipasabot sa honorable apil na lang sa atong mga damgo. 

you are really who i think you are, chic.  consider me your fan.  

moral lesson:  ajaw lakaw nga mag-inusara kun gabi-i kay matipaklong ta.

naa na kahay resulta karong panahona ang imbestigasyon?  naunsa na god ning kalibotana.  i hate to see the day nga imbestigaron na pod si julius ceasar kun tinood ba siyang lalaki o kaha tinuod ba siyang tawo kay tingalig pareha ra mi.

front seat, kun mahimo.

mas bali kahoy ang botaran nungka sila.  purya bitaw oy.  maayo unta kun ang atong legislators mohimo ug balaod batok ani nga praktris nga bisan asa ang ilang posters ilansang ug ipatapot.  hinoon, wa man gani intawon tagda para mohimo ug enabling law against political dynasties nga enshrined sa atong constitution... tan-awa nang mga father and son nga politicians sa ato, wa pay labot sa mga husband-wife, father-daughter, etc. 

from the looks of it, kadtong ego-tripper nagpuasa pod ug tamantaman.

Unsaon na lang ko ang baje tuwayon...

di na kanding ang angay ani, bai hubs.  elepante na ang angay mosukol.

hahaha!  feel ko nga naa sa inyong tugkaran ang kanding, ms da binsi.  pero i know nga safe ka kay naa man pod kay anting-anting panagang, kanang imong one and only pulseras nga hinimo ug native american.  

for other possibilities about this rapist-murderer story, and possibly to put it in context,

may i suggest a side trip to http://www.skepdic.com/masshysteria.html

for those interested.

Sister Isles, di jud nimo malikajan nga wa na unta ta sa dark ages pero ang mga katawhan sigi tan aw ug salida nga mga wakwak ug uban pang mga magic2x! mao nga di mapapas sa ila alimpatakan ang mga storya nga ingon ani.

kaning mga tawhanaa mao ni ang kusog mo tan aw sa salida nga TWILIGHT.

sayang wa ko kakita ug twilight.  pero, okay pa gihapon ko kay fan man ko ni harry potter. 

and with apologies to chicogon---

i feel that jellybean and her complaints should be better taken in their context.  are her complaints real or not?  have we not experienced her kind of disappointments sometime in our lives, sometime in bohol?  as a human being, doesn't she have the right to complain?  and who can blame her for taking this kind of forum as an outlet?  the fact that she airs them is a good sign.  it takes some things off her chest. 

amid all her helplessness, as well as ours, about our society and government and everything in-between, some grain of truth will just have to be faced by us, no matter what the nationality is of the one who says it, no matter the manner in which it is said, perfect grammar or no.  if it's a foreigner who holds a mirror for us to see the mote in our eye, so be it.  getting prickly doesn't solve anything.  your education and training, chic, make you the best candidate to see the substance way beyond the form.  or so i believe.  and this does not discount the fact that you are some sort of a renaissance man (a singer and composer to boot), with a heart of a missionary.

the points of raquelproud about jellybean in some other thread in tb were refreshing.

with warm regards.     

nice of you to put some sense into all these stories, blueangel.  simbako lang goes both ways:  the victims are real (are there docketed complaints?  if so, how come the police reasons out that there is no warrant of arrest?), ug uroy kun ang rumor took on a life of its own, fanned by radyo baktas and newscasters/commentators (with apologies) and the alleged criminal or a spitting likeness of him will fall victim to a mob.  please, we are no longer in the dark ages. 

hohum.  more of the same circus clowns hanging their dirty linens in public.  no need to wonder why most voters have become cynical about that breed of homo sapiens who put themselves up for elections. 

klarohi ra gud ko, please.  why is the reclamation needed?  is panglao not a tourist attraction the way it is, now?  is there a study that the tourists will double, treble, quadruple, etc. if parts are reclaimed?  whoever came up with this idea and what is it for?  sorry i have to ask.  this issue is beyond my league and i'm too far away from bohol now, enough to remain ignorant but not enough to be unconcerned.   

kay kinsa man diay nila ang usa ray nawong?  come on, unless anyone here was born yesterday, we all know that politics isn't for the fainthearted.  getting there means having to wear many faces, adjusted to please any kind of voters.

yes oi! daghan jud nag lakaw2x sa plaza ana nga way karsones! bwahhaha!!

arang makalingaw ning injong non-oversharing.  hawasan man sad ta anig aligotgot. 

morag yesterday nga gisapot ko sa akong pares.  unja naay famous town fool nga morag school bus kadak-a, nag-atang ug ka-hitchan duol sa amo, tunong sa pagkuha sa akong pares sa ilang driver.  siyagit ko nga ilang pasakyon.  they did.  wa nila damha nga manimaho tibuok sakyanan, nahadlok pa jud sila nga tuk-on silag kalit ala-godfather part 1.  that made my day! 

kun oversharing man ning akong istorya, be assured, ang ilang gipa-hitch naay karsones, 

on second thoughts, na-OT ba ko dinhi?  sori po kun mao, hehehe.

speaking of kuto, can we scalp everyone because of some lice teeming in one head?  such analogy fits what some of us (especially the media) do when human behavior egged only by political and economic considerations is equated with religion.  muslim terrorists?  irish catholic bombers?  not fair.  such examples imply that there are no peace-loving muslims and irish catholics, who are the majority.  these are the kinds of descriptions that unwittingly encourage discrimination. 

how true.  maajo gani kay opaw-opaw ko wa jud hinooy magunitan nga buhok ang maestra kay makaipsot man dayon ko.  kutoon jud hinoon gihapon mao nga kusog ko mopatapot sa ahong ulo sa sa ubang classmates so the kutos can immigrate, hehehe.

arang ni nga thread, hahaha.  gikan sa historical, autobiographical poem ni bugs ngadto sa historical, geographical, literary data ni bai hubs and all the mea culpas in-between, makalingaw jud tanan, limbarok.  limborak sa lagwerta sa impiyerno?  kinsa man tuod ang mokanta didto (este, diri) sa limborak song sa videoke?  ang limbarok nga si sitinis? sige na, play it, sam, kay gahuwat na akong kabalion nga bukobuko.

one more reason why a bra, strapless or not, is not safe.

dinhi nga thread na lang nako ni i-post kay maikog ko kun adto sa political and social trends.  abi pa lang sa mga nanggilalis nga kandaiyag gilabanan nga favorite candidate, ang ilahang gilabanan either crocodile or alligator.  do not sit on one, and do not molest the other! 

hahay.  na, if discussions get to be this rabid about political manoks (uy, chicken baja diay ang english ani; political chickens?  what nuance...) it would be nice to see you people in another arena--- the boxing ring.

tungod sa injong makalilisang nga discussion, naka-decide na hinoon kog kinsay ahong gustong kandidato (bahalag unsang position)--- si anhing yoyoy villame.  nakadaog jud ni sija sa paranaque sa una, di ba?
