Hello Ricky!  First of, welcome here to Tubag Bohol. 

I don't think we can access the PLDT directory thru the internet.  If you know anybody in Tagbilaran, you may want to ask for a copy of the Directory.  I thought you knew the name so I can ask somebody in Bohol to locate it for you but since you couldn't remember the name of your friend, that option is not possible. 

Mikey, cute kaayo ka oi!

Very Strange!!

If you watch the above images from your seat in front of the computer,
Mr.Angry is on the left, and Mrs.Calm is on the right.
Get up from your seat, and move back about eight feet!! They switch places!!
This proves that things aren't always what they look like!!

Ngek, wa lagi nag change.  Hmm, I will try again.

Thanks, Tita, for sharing your family with us.  Anad na lagi kaayo ka ba magbuhat ug collage?  Tudlui ko beh!

Me and my children Taken last xmas day.

Lovely, Tita!  Liwat kaayo imong girl nimo ba?

Hag-as, ga count jud diay ang boy ug kapila sya gi spank sa iyang papa kay ining ka thousand man kaha, mao nay last!  anyway, unbelievable that a child can do this kind of crime but it's also making me wonder how come parents didn't see this kind of violent behavior coming.  unya, asa man pod kuha ning bata ug gun without any adults knowing about it?  hay, so many questions.  So lugar, gi punggutan sa bata ang ulo sa iyang Tatay?  If this really happened, this kid must be so sick but why, oh why, wa ni nakita sa iyang mga ginikanan, that is my biggest question!

I pray for God's consoling hug for this mother kay di jud nko ma imagine iyang pain.

bolingitboy, thanks or the health tips.  kuyawa gud nimo, from political and social issues to health issues balo man kaayo ka! 

I will try adding sesame seeds and olive oil in my rice next time.  Ganahan man jud ko'g sesame seeds and its oil.  Naa gani ko'g Japanese na seasoning na mixture of finely sliced seaweeds, sesame seeds and sea salt.  Di lang ko'g turmeric kay di kaayo ko ganahan ug lasa but I can add saffron instead. 

Hello Jay!  Welcome to Tubag Bohol! Ihimamat imong mga ka sano ug sana dire from all over the world.  Have fun with us here and if you have questions, please do not hesitate to PM us.

dapat manubag jud ni si delos angeles oi!  ingon, naa pa daw laing tag-iya na taga Cebu.

Ray, I don't think tinuod na agents ang employees are living like millionaires.  My aunt was working with Legacy until its collapse two weeks ago and she isn't living like a millionaire.  She is getting a fixed salary.  She had car loan which was 50% paid for by Legacy but that's what was given to me too when I was still working in a bank in Cagayan de Oro.  Ang kapait lang jud kay she had some close family and friends invest money unya karon nahanaw daw bula.  Delos Angeles promised daw to return even just the principal but I don't know if that's gonna ever happen.   

Brunch:  couscous with cornish chicken leftover

Dinner:  couscous with bangus leftover from Saturday's party

Feed The Needy day karon.  Arang mura ko'g gibunalan sa kakapoy.  Daghan kaayo'ng mga donations na gipang hagpat after two weeks na gi sirado namo ang kitchen for the holidays.  Wa pay labot pagluto ug pag serve ana. 

Wala pa jud tawon, Sir Felix.  This is a good test of our patience.

Amazing, what does Kuya grow diay?

Na tambok na diay si Mocha eh? haha, cute pood. Lami diay siya i-kusi-on?




Rambo-cute

Dong, for his winter garden, he has bokchoy, pakchoy, fennel, broccoli, kale, swiss chard, collard greens, rutabaga and herbs.  he also has brussel sprouts that did not sprout at all but the leaves are humongous and they are edible so kana among gina saute. 

Yes, Mocha is getting fatter and fatter and I am the culprit daw!  He said what I am doing to Mocha is animal cruelty.  hahah I feed him always man gud because he keeps on asking for food.  Now, I try not to listen to Mocha anymore!  Mocha is the sweetest cat I have ever known.  He goes with me to the garden when I harvest vege for our dinner.

gigutom bya ko calle!  Hala nia bya koy 555.  Mao jud na akong favorite sardinas kanang di halang ha.

Hapit naman midnight dire.  Unsa kaha mag miswa ko for pamahaw instead of cereal?

Good for you, Tita Birdie Sol!

Bitaw ba, wa jud update sa ilang EB.  Asa na to si Mike, Angie, ug Tita Lee.

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you're the Terminator, for an
instant you're probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can get back their focus on what's important.

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed breaks, skidded, and ,missed the other car's back end by just inches!

The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And i mean, he was friendly. So, i said, "why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!"

And this is when my taxi driver told me what i now call, "the Law of the Garbage Truck." Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they''ll dump it on you.

When someone wants to dump it on you, don't take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did.

When I was in Grade 6, my worst subject was Mathematics. When I was in high school,
we were required to memorize the multiplication table. From that time I emproved so much my Math  subjects. When I was  in college, my most enemy number 1 is Calculus.  From that time I don't anymore take math subjects.

But Sir Felix, you are so good in Math.  I saw your Math thread here. 

Kadumdum ko ana, Buwad.  Manginhas mi sa una, matunok gani mi sa tujom, ipa ihi-an dayon.  Ka ila mo ug bahag-bahag?  Kana bitaw mura ug snake or worm sa hunasan?  Kon pala ihi ka sa banig, mao bitaw to ipakurat ug hampak aron daw masumpa ang pagka pala ihi sa banig! 

Oi, ug kaingon ba ka'g biyaan nako akong panaksan containing peanuts hangtud di mahurot! hahaha  Bisan pa intawon init pa kaayo, gi huyop-huyopan nako aron makalamon na ko!

Tugnaw bitaw kaayo sa Baguio ba?  One time, gipa anha nko akong mga pobreng ginikanan sa Manila unya akong gidala sa Baguio. We were also with my cousin and my elder sister.  Intawon, nag adto na mi sa Cubao bus station midnight daw beh kay puno naman ang bus so we waited for the 3 a.m. trip.  To cut the story shorter  , naka abot nami sa Baguio!  Didto mi sa Church which is just a walking distance from the bus station then namahaw dayon mi'g bbq chicken.  Ga hilom lang si Daddy tawon.  Dayon gi libot2x nako sila sa Baguio.  We were planning to stay at least two nights didto.  Daw beh, gi korum mi ni Daddy. Ingon sya, if di mi manguli dayon balik sa Manila, maglisud jud daw mi kay kakuyapon na sya sa ka tugnaw!  Gi ignore ra unta to namo but Daddy said, wa jud ko gabinuang.  Hala kay luspad naman diay kaayo si Daddy.  Sakit diay ijang rayuma sa ka tugnaw! hahaha  Uli dayon oi!

Kamo ba ni Jan-jan, Maring, inyong gipukaw akong nakatulog na na craving sa peanuts.  Pastilan, wala ra ba ko kapalit ug lutuonon na mani oi na didto man unta ko gahapon sa Pinoy store.  Hay, baklayon ko kaha to ugma!  Di jud ko mopalit kanang luto na daan kay mas lami na kita galuto ba!

Bitaw ako pod.  Picturi baja ha pag abot ni Geisha after sa iyang laag.  Kinsa na kaha'y naka autograph nija.   

Korek jud ka, Jan, olive oil akong gamit.  Di man pod kaayo nko gidaghan ug oil basta lang ba ma toast gamay. As you can see, I used my one and only favorite cast iron pan.  Lami kaayo, Jan, as in wa kahaponi lagi!  Parisan dayon ug lemonade, dah lagi! hehehe

Jan, ayaw na diha tig Miss2x kay mura ta'g si Ms. Tapia ana.  Ate na lang kay sure man ko manghud kaayo ka nako.

Quote from: apothecary on January 06, 2009, 10:27:37 AM
The war between the DYRD / Chronicle and City Mayor Dan Lim has more than meets the eye.

For one, it's a chicken and egg thing. I may have began when the Chronilce taunted the city mayor to do something about the drainage system that has not been that functioning as planned. On the other hand, the city mayor has been telling city residents that in no way can the Chronicle biased media bully him into opening the plugged outfall sans any nod from the proper authorities.

It was just that every rainy day, Chronicle would send all hands to the flooded homes along CPG, intentionally report on the nasty condition, and i bet, including items a reporter should not mention for courtesy of those taking their breakfasts. But the Chronicle can do that.

After DENR Sec. Lito Atienza issued a statement about the city residents not to be allowed to suffer from mistakes committed by whosoever, Dan Lim has to accede and unplug the outfall.

Now since the Chronicle has unilaterally declared war, it has to make the mayor unpopular.

So the day the drainage was opened, Chronicle reporters literally run to the water egress along Graham Street, called Atty. Dela Serna and instigated the old man to open his mouth and  let the city residents another spillage of the classic topnotch rhetorics.

But it was not as grim as what Chronicle reported.

And then just as magically, the media, now associated with the Chronicle literally pulled every trick they had to drown Lim with ant blame they can conceive for dirtying the city seas.

And the blame magically focused on Lim, not on to rhe DENR Sec which the local DENR also appeared to hmmm, ...very convenient indeed.

So the war rages and the residents who were saved from countless nigfhts of sleeping in  water beds now have to put up the signs along DBP.

Not one of these were reported.

Now, which side is right, i would rather say, in a war like this, it is not to determine which is right, it would soon be telling us, who would be left.

thanks, apothecary, for seemingly unbiased accounting of what's going on between the Bohol Chronicle and Mayor Dan Lim.

i'm annoyed because i cannot find the thread about TB forum rules.. the one that prohibits CAPSLOCK!

I see that you already found it, Bem.  Thanks my dear! mwah

unsa gud nang word na baraw, bem?  ang sa amo ang baraw kay kana man piece of iron na ipang kubkub sa yuta.

Haze, I am with you in this regard. You are an admin and it's part of our job to try to maintain order.  You did just what exactly we are expected to do as Admins.  Before naa na tay gibadlong na all-caps ang gipagsulat. Natural ra na na ang gibadlong, masuko kay naa jud mga tawo di pasulti.  Whether we like it or not, we are living in a world where there are rules kay kon walay rules, unsa na lang kaha kagubot ang kalibutan.   Gubot na gani naay rules, unsa pa kon wala.  Just imagine those kids in grade 1 kon walay titser, mao na mahitabo nato or even worst.

Renegade, tiaw ba pod tawon malagpot ang ulo inig sagpa oi!  You may not really meant that but that is so violent.  Yes, if true imong gi ingon, dako ang mali sa ICM from moving the raffle date ahead without informing the public and this should be looked into sa atong mga autoridad.  Or, we can ask ICM kay basin bya diha jud announcement wala lang na abot nimo and other people who came today.  I think nakita man gani na nako sa newspaper.  Nonetheless, diha ba silay gipang declare na winners ang ICM from their January 4 Raffle? 

here's the link of the news sa Bohol Chronicle:  http://www.boholchronicle.com/2006/nov/26/comm3.htm

hahaha bueng man ka bem oi!  sige lang bem, merry christmas is everyday man pod so you'll have more chances to meet some naughty boys!  good luck! 

Ray, dili man kanunay naay aksidente sa tricycle and in fact, i think twice or thrice rako kakita ug aksidente involving tricycle.  But you are right, haska lang na sila siksik ug gakagubot ang kadalanan.  Pero kon kuhaon ang tricycle sa Tagabilaran, unsa naman tawon livelihood aning mga ma displaced na drivers? 

so they must be the beauty and the beast sisters then!

bem, i think it's perfectly okay to engage in intellectual masturbation, if that's how we call it, but wala lang unta personal insults.  Stay in or out of topic but don't go over and beyond that.

korek ka dyan, bem!  that's your ate belle, the jean saburit ay este jean garcia of TB!

I know.  Ga wonder jud ko anang word jealousy!  Ngano mawala man jud ang ilang pangutok ug ipagtigbabaw ang emotion.  I think misplaced na ang jealousy aning tawhana.  I mean, he meant to hurt lang jud the woman to her deepest core by taking away her children.  Kon gusto sya magpakamatay, wa na unta nya gidamay mga bata. 

Okay ra kaayo ang picture, Maring.  Na timing lang nawagtang si Beth kariju ug si ATe Lita.  It was really fun!  Pagka gabii ana sa party akong gi attendihan, inom na pod ug Bailey's. 

Of course, the child is not charged but the parents will be.  Paluma-luma ug keep ug gun unya di kamao mag amping. 

This is one news I dread to read especially in early morning but I did.  Hay, kabug-at sa akong dughan!  Ngano man jud mawad-an ug paglaom sa kinabuhi oi!

Bem, korek jud ka.  Lisud kaayo hilumon kay lawon ug dut.

Ray, wala man diay daw nagtago si Delos Angeles. He is still the Mayor of Sto. Domingo, near Legaspi.  He is scheduled to face the Senate hearing in the coming weeks.  I just wonder if something good can come out in that hearing.  He still promised to return at least the principal amount.  As to how, who knows?

My cousin was managing the bank owned by Legacy in Carmen diay, Ray.  She was the last woman standing and was confident that she could cater her customers and thought there was no need to close doors but PDIC padlocked her bank.  Karon, she is now helping out her clients claim their money from PDIC.

Mo uli si Mother Hilaria, Els?

Wow!  Nice to have you back, Els and with happy news pa! Congratulations to you and Bonnie! 

Dong, we are okay.  Your Kuya M has started already his winter garden.  We never run out of vege to cook.  And Mocha? hmmm, he is getting fatter and fatter.  He is very cuddly though I couldn't cuddle him due to allergy.  Alyssamarie/smiffy gives him utmost attention when she is here.  They can really communicate!

Calle, we appreciate better our lives now because of our humble beginnings.  I never regretted na ning agi ko ug kalisud. Bisan karon humble pa man gihapon but at least di na pod kakha tuka unlike before.

Naay time na mapildi ni Daddy sa mahjong among pangpalit ug bugas, pagka ngit2x aron di mi makit-an sa kasilinganan mag payag intawon mi ni Mommy ug saging aron naa mi makaon before mi mo adto sa skwelahan.  Nalingaw ra man pod mi adto na mura mi'g k******n sa among kaugalingong saging.    Madumduman pod nko kadtong among atop na naa nay buslot.  Panahon sa ulan, mag sawod ug palanggana pero mao lang man gihapon kay mag pisik2x gihapon ang tubig.  Karon lang nko na isip na dapat gibutangan unta to ug nuog aron dili mo bounce ang tubig ba!   

Life was good.  We were able to play hide and seek, dagan2x, syato (mao man na ba kadtong mo ingon ug hatuuuum!)  Naa mi balay-balay na gipanday sa among apohan.  Ang among bugas2x, danggay.  Among oil, gumamela na gi kuposan sa tubig.  Ang real food ra jud sa among balay2x kay butong , tisa ug buongon kay daghan to sa among nataran.  Diha man unta to nangka pero di man mi pakan-on kay makasakit daw ug tijan.  pastilan.  bantugay ra kay lami man diay kaayo!  Dayon, mag kotex2x dayon using that fruit sa weeds na di na nko madumduman unsay ngalan. 

Dayon, mahilantan gani, dalhon dayon mi ni Mommy ila ka Mama Sinda aron tayhupan.  Mao siguro to mahuwasan kay tiaw bay lud-an ang ulo ug pakuratan dayon dayon hidhidan ug baho na lana! hahahaha

Tricycles must be remove in Tagbilaran City, they are abusive, whenever I´m in Cogon they refuse to drive me to Booy if I´m alone, they demand a double fare. This form of transportation is obsolete, they don´t have manners especially in the companion of a foreigner, they have the tendency to think of dollars. Apeke ka sa nga kahon ug maleta ma-blackmail ka.

I feel your pain, Manay Tess.  Back then when I was still in high school in Tagbilaran, didto dapit sa Bohol Ice Plant ug Buwangan ang balay sa akong mga Lolo ug Lola, lisud jud kaayo manakayan gikan sa UB to my grandparents' house kay mo lingiw ra man ang mga drivers kon mo ingon na'g dapit sa Ice Plant.  Naay uban mo entertain pero mangutana pa lagi ug pila akong ihatag nila! Dapat unta kuhaan ni sila'g license kon di mag tarong ba kay dapat walay pili.  I don't know if pareho pa ba kay naa naman taxi karon na tawgan lang and so far mura'g wa pa man ningbalibad sa among call bisan tua mi sa Manga.

I had a discussion with the same topic in the egroup with my former co-bankers.  This got heated because one said that people in Manila is crying "bloody hell" just for one day of abuse as compared to the Muslim brothers in Mindanao who experience this for perhaps centuries.  I replied that Muslims should not be included in the discussion.  They just happened to be Muslims.  They are first and foremost human beings who behaved like animals who mauled a 56-year old father and 14-year old son.  And above all that, they are politicians.  They are public servants and are not supposed to be public tormentors.    And I hope, political influence by the alleged suspects will not be a factor in the investigation.

DAR exec Pangandaman asked for apology to the Dela Pazes but he added that it wasn't an admission of fault.  He further said in interviews that the Dela Pazes started the fight.  They still do not have the right to physically harm the father and son and since they did, they'll have to answer and pay for that.  They are not above the law!

Ipag hand carry na lang unya na pohon sa surrogate mother niya, Haze!  Bitaw, hulat ta kinsa'y mag raise ug hand.  Pictures na lang sa beh with Geisha if makalugar ka.

" Forgive all who have offended you, not for them, but for yourself. "  Harriet Nelson

In my heart, it's easy to forgive but the one who wronged me would not know I forgave him or her until he or she asked for forgiveness and acknowledged how he or she wronged me.  But I agree, when we forgive, it isn't so much for the one who wronged us but for ourselves.  Bug-at pod kaayo if we have unforgiving heart.  

Happy birthday, Atty.!

One of the most important things we need today as a people is a beautiful way of looking at ourselves as Filipinos, a positive and healthy image of ourselves, a wonderful definition of ourselves as a people. Our children especially need to believe that there is greatness and beauty in us as a people and as a race.

So much beauty and greatness can spring from a beautiful mind and a faithful heart.

But loving ourselves as Filipinos is not only patriotism or nationalism. There is a reason higher than that. It is primarily about stewardship. It is loving what God has given us. God gave to each one of us the Filipino and the Philippines, for us to love and care for. But how is the Filipino in our hands today? How is the Philippines, the land God gave to us as a people, in our hands today?

It is for this reason that I wrote the poem below. I give this poem as my humble gift to all of you, my fellow Filipinos. You are the brothers and sisters, the family of people, God gave to me.

It is my hope that this poem will help develop in us and in our children a healthy sense of faith and love in the Filipino, in ourselves as a people. For truly, our Creator wants us to have faith in and love for the Filipino.

Here it is:

I am Filipino. I am a child of the One God who is the Creator of all that is in our world and the universe. I am as perfect and as beautiful as my Creator planned me to be, for God created me in His image, out of His perfect love.

I am a beloved child of God, like everyone else in our world, no less than the stars above or anyone else below. As such, I have equal right and claim to all the beauty and bounty that God provided in my country and in the world.

I am an equal part of the family of humanity. I am therefore a sibling to all the men and women of our world, brethren to all Christians, to all Muslims, to all Jews, to all Buddhists, and all other peoples whose faiths lie somewhere else.

I am Filipino. My Creator planted me on a specific spot on earth, where the sun always shines, in an archipelago of 7,107 wonderful islands, which the whole world calls the “Pearl of the Orient.” Pilipinas is the country God gave to me and my people. It is the birthplace of my race. It is the home of the Filipino.

The beauty and richness of my country lured many mighty powers of the world to invade our shores. So today, my blood is a mixture of the best and the finest of the West and the East. My mind is an heir to all the great thoughts of the West, and the great virtues of the East. My heart beats with the romanticism of the West and the passion of the East.

I am Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Juan Luna, Ninoy Aquino and all those who fought for our land to become a nation of free people. I am the grandeur of Banaue, the enchantment of Boracay, the serenity of Manila Bay, and the depth and breadth of Tubbataha Reef.

I am Filipino. My Creator’s plan is for me to live my life as a Filipino and therefore, in my heart and in my mind, I shall always be a Filipino wherever I may be in the world. God wants me to belong to the Filipino family and as such, I am a “kapatid” [brother] to anyone and everyone who is Filipino, wherever he or she may be on earth.

You will know me by the word “po” in my sentences. You will know my children by their “mano po.” You will know me by the smile on my face and the warmth of my hospitality. Most important of all, you will know me by my loving and caring heart when you are in need of help, even if you are a stranger.

As a child of God, my Creator has a beautiful story for me and my people. And the story we see today is but a fleeting portion of that beautiful story that has yet to fully unfold before the eyes of the world.

I am Filipino. I am who I am today because of the role God wants me to play.

I am born to succeed. God has equipped me, within me and around me, with all the essentials I need to succeed in this world. God truly wants the highest, the best, and the most beautiful for me, because I am His child.

I am destined to be great. God planted seeds of beauty and greatness in me. He truly wants me to be great and beautiful, for God truly wants me to add more beauty and greatest to our world.

I am Filipino. I am born of freedom, in a free country. As such, I dedicate my freedom to ensuring that my people and country shall always remain free. I shall use my freedom to help other peoples, in my country or in other parts of the world, gain their own freedom.

I am born of love, out of God’s immeasurable love, in a country and in a world that can only be made beautiful by love. Love is the reason why God made me. It is what He wants me to bring into this world, so love shall be who I am.

I am born as part of the whole, as part of the answer to the question, as part of the solution to the problem, as part of the hope to our people. I am born to help the Filipino become great not only in the eyes of the world but, more so, in the eyes of our Lord.

I am Filipino. I am a faithful child of God. I shall live my life to do God’s work on earth, to help build a beautiful country for my Filipino family, and a better world for all humanity. And soon the world shall see the full measure of the greatness of Filipino, for truly the world has yet to see what God can do to and through a child, like the Filipino, who is faithful to the Lord.

I am Filipino.

I'm looking forward sa negosyo nimo sa ato puhon Grazie san.Akoy tindera usahay ha?

Aya san, I miss you so! 

The week preceding Christmas, I was starting to bake cakes and candies na for our family dinner and also for our elderly neighbors and volunteers at the church kitchen.  Christmas was spent with family.  My elder sister from LA and my cousins from the Bay Area came to spend the Christmas eve with us.  We went to attend the evening mass at my aunt's parish.  After the mass, the choir where my aunt is part of it, sang beautiful Christmas songs that reminded me so much of home.  Christmas dinner on December 25 was spent with family and close friends whom we consider already as part of the family.  We were partying until 2 a.m. The day after Christmas, I was busy preparing for the Indian wedding cake.

December 31, I was busy preparing for our New Year's Eve dinner - still at my aunt's.  We bade good bye to year 2008 and welcomed 2009 with the clicking of champagne glasses and bonding with family and close friends.  We ate, danced, sang and laughed a lot until past 4 a.m.  We didn't go home anymore because we didn't want to take the chance of being stopped by highway police patrolling the streets.  New Year's day, we attended mass at 10 a.m. and we came back to my aunt's with the family who spent the night before with us.  We had brunch together of eggs and bacon and leftover sud-an from the previous night.  We came home about 2 p.m., changed and got ready to go out again with my aunt and her family to the mall and had dinner. 

I had a fun-filled holidays and I hope that year 2009 will be blessed for all of us! Happy New Year again kaninyong tanan!

Thank you so much, Macks, but I still leave a lot to be desired to deserve to be called one of the finest.  However, I acknowledge that God gave me a wonderful skill to make kids and adult alike and most especially brides smile upon seeing their cakes.  Sa una, I was only wishing to be able to decorate a cake and then one day God blessed me this skill and now I can decorate already a cake!
