Christmas eve was spent with family.  Our sister from LA drove all the way to be with us.  We were singing and dancing and of course, eating and I mean eating a lot!


From left: My sister Hapon aka ytesski, Baby cousin Alyssamarie aka smiffytheninja, yours truly, our eldest sister Manang Meye, cousins Rowena and Ivy Zamora and Tia Edna in the center.

Beautiful pictures, Dong!  Thank you for sharing your family with us.  Dako na jud si Don ug si Andre, Dong! 

By the way, what's that yummy-looking purple thing in the middle of your dinner table? 

Quel, unsa may effect sa imo sa pineapple?

Fons, sure jud peanuts kay akong bana super allergic ug peanuts and all kinds of nuts!  Mangatol ang tibuok lawas ug mag fever dayon. 

Ako ning buhion na thread. 



Here's the Christmas cake I made for our family dinner:


The cake "modeled" by my two cousins and sister ytesski:


The following are the cakes I made for our elderly neighbors as our Christmas gift:

Dear Bayat,

Maayong Pasko diha. Tickets are here, a big car is reserved, pocket money saved a bit, sedula na lang kulang gjod. Am excited to meet you...where? Los Angeles, San Franscisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas and/or at the middle of Grand Canyon? whahahha 

BOC, I volunteer your Bayat to meet you up in Sacramento! hahaha

Korek jud ka, Maring na ga amag ang cake but sa actual di bya kaayo although orange jud sya as in!  Yes, edible na'ng mga silver perlas diha.  It's called Dragees!  Sige gud pod ko'g ub-ub while ga decorate sa cake! Can't help it!  Oh, smiffy helped me pag dikit in some of those dragees!

Happy birthday, Mr. Bean!

And here's my reason for my tagay absence:  Gabuhat ko'g wedding cakes for an Indian couple.  Di unta nko angkunon ako'y gabuhat kay arang ga amag ang ka orange sa color oi but it turned out okay so sige na lamang.  I made a 3-tiered tangerine orange cake with red borders, 8 satellite cakes and one whole full sheet cake.  Flavors:  coconut cake with strawberry filling, chocolate fudge cake with custard filling, lemon cake with cream cheese filling and the full sheet cake was white cake with fruit basket filling.  Mao ni akong hulagway excluding the sheet cake kay wa na nko na hulagwayi:





Macky, partial ni sa imong request na pictures for the cakes and cookies.  Unya na pod ang cookies!

grazie: you remind me of one of my sisters in that she also can't stand worms and she also lets her husband who is an agricultural engineer do the planting. i think you had better leave the planting to the husbands. you can do the eating
mdb: as far as i know, peanuts are packed with fiber and being so promotes easy elimination of waste. it seems to be especially true when it comes to raw peanuts as compared to cooked peanuts, though i'm not sure if this is backed by scientific study. am speaking from experience :-)

bolingitboy, maayo pay snake akong makita kaysa worm.  When I was young, gakahadlok ko makasala kay basin i punish ko sa Lord mag ulan unya ug worms! yikes!

I prefer friend peanuts with lots of peanuts and salt!  Na miss nko nang init pa na mani diha sa kadalananan sa Tagbilaran.

Happy birthday to one of Bohol's pride - Jun Ayag!  May God bless you and guide you always!

I don't think the journalist meant to throw his shoes in a symbolic manner.  He really meant to hit the US President. It was with passion! 

From what I heard, he left his workers to face their investors.  He was no show, no heard.  Is that the kind of Mayor our people deserves?  Sure, there's a lot of banks bleeding these days but he should be man enough to face his investors and depositors that his workers courted so hard.

In Jesus name, amen.

Officers and employees of Legacy Group think he is or maybe there is something we don't know.  So he is a mayor?  hmmm.

We also started our Simbang Gabi lastnight.  Two Pinoy priests officiated the Simbang Gabi; one from Cagayan de Oro and the other priest from the Luzon.  It was nice as always especially when the all-Pinoy choir started to sing Pasko na Naman.  After the mass, we had a little painit of Miswa soup and puto and cookies.

The main officiating priest - the one from Cagayan de Oro delivered the sermon.  He talked about rejoicing.  He talked about hope especially that this most trying times of our lives. Material gift-giving and receiving are not the reason for celebrating Christmas.   It's the birth of our Lord Jesus who later died in the cross for our salvation. 

Merry Christmas to all of you and let there be peace on earth!

It actually doesn't matter how much the maximum insurable amount is because depositors can just split their deposits into different accounts so that their money in the bank is still insured.  I haven't read though the bill proposal. 

I am still awaiting updates form my relatives what happened to their meeting with the big boss Celso delos Angeles.

Calle, naa na ka sa Valencia karon?  Agi dayon didto sa Villa Tarcela please dayon pahulagway.

Daw beh, di man siguro ka kadaog mo bitad ning akong boots, Maring!  Seryos, nalukapa intawon akong bana gipabitad nko kay I just kicked the shoes off!  Hay, all for the sake of fashion! 

Hey, arang katugnaw namo dire.  I am sure mas tugnaw pa mo but awfully cold here - 30s.  Gaka depress ko karong adlawa so I made brandy-soaked raisins and other dried berries coated with dark chocolate.  Karon, nahubog na ko'g kinaon.

It takes two to tango.  Your husband is a party to it.  In my own opinion, a woman can not claim that her marriage is strong if her husband can just be hoodwinked by a woman especially through internet.  But anyway, we don't really know what happened because for one, KC Estremos is now dead to defend herself.  So again, it takes two to tango.  It's not about Filipinos.  Nothing at all!  So there!

i might be inclined to believe that this shoe-thowing incident will go down in history in some way. certainly, everyone who think that america does not have any business whatsoever in iraq would consider the iraqi journalist some kind of a hero... one thing that the incident proves in regard to security is that no amount of measure is foolproof. unless security people begin to ban shoes in areas classified as restricted :-)

bolingitboy, if shoes will be banned in areas classified as restricted, basin ang camera na pod ang ilabay.

After my anthropology final and after studying, I grabbed some frozen yogurt from one of the new frozen yogurt stores near my house.

yum o!  Babe, do you remember that one so chilly night when we went to Big Spoon Yogurt?  That was fun huh!  Oh, we can do that again next week.  I have free tickets to give us five bowl-full of yogurt, courtesy of Knights of Columbus raffle prize that I won last week.

Good job, Dr. Majella Uy.  I am proud of you!

I, myself was a big fan of Dr. Juan Flavier, a diminutive and funny doctor who later became a senator.  I read his articles at the national newspaper  (was it Phil. Star or PDI?) about the Barrio Doctor.  I even bought one of his books.  Just recently, I read another book written by one who claimed to be a true blooded Bol-anon Doctor who is based in Davao.  He is Dr. Ting Tiongco.  I enjoy reading his book very much!  It makes me realize how much sacrifice they (including their families) put it to become a doctor.  Basta guys, if you have a chance, please get his book:  Surgeons Do Not Cry. 

ngek!  It's okay bolingitboy.  I didn't have to plant kay my hubby is a good farmer man.  He will do anything I ask him to plant.     Besides, gasaputon pod na sya kon naa ko sa garden kay I hate as in hate worms to the max!

Thanks, Angie!  Lisud kaayo tangtangon oi!  Akong bana helper.  Ingon dayon sya, "kalay-kalay shoes!" 

But Ray, richness in tradition and cultural beliefs will not buy me a new pair of Via Benetto shoes.  If these huge malls are thriving, that means daghan jud buyers kay kon strollers lang, dili man na makabuhi ug negosyo.

Lab checkout last week. 



Card that was initially a graphic design project on Photoshop that I actually made into a poster-sized card for my lab professor (signed by all the lab students)  + Pepsi, since I know he's addicted to Diet Pepsi.

Babe, tell your Prof Diet Pepsi is not good for him. lol

I'd say women just because I am a woman.  Bitaw oi, depende ra sa tao. 

jan, mag anhi dire pohon mid march akong cousin na naa diha sa vancouver pero dili pa man na makatubo ang kamunggay by that time kay tugnaw2x pa man na.  Sayang ba padalhan jud tka unta!

Na suot ra jud nko akong PINK boots adtong Saturday at the birthday party of a friend! 

Well, it must have been humiliating for Bush to have a journalist or any man for that matter threw shoes on him.  I heard it is an ultimate show of disrespect for the Iraqis and Muslims as a whole to have somebody throw shoe on you.  And two shoes at that! I have a feeling years from now, this will be asked in Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.  Having said that, I think the journalist showed poor judgment in doing so.  He humiliated his own country leaders more than he did to Bush.  Well, a lot of people hailed him as a hero for throwing shoes on Bush which was unthinkable that anybody can do with all the secret agents surrounding Bush. 

And who says we are a poor country!  If these malls are thriving, that means people can afford to shop.

When I was still in Manila, we hired  American consultants for our water and solar projects.  I took them to Shangrila and SM Megamall which were just  stone's throw away from  our office.  We went to the Sm Megamall food court, which was just beside the skating rink.  There eyes were like this  .  They said, how can you have all these huge malls when you are supposed to be a poor country!  It was more of an accusation than a question.  I was taken aback alright but I said, I guess we are not really that poor! 

It's never too late to learn. 

ngek!  istorbot ra diay na, Nong?  Aya pa ilad oi!

my father twice cheated to my mother but my mother still accepted him. i think what's best is you accept your fault and show remorse on what you did. hopefully women should understand that men are born polygamous.

When we were growing up (and even up to now), I told colleagues that I was so sure my Dad never had another woman in his life.  And the usual question thrown to me was, how sure are you?  Well, ingon nila, if maldito ang amahan - meaning tsikboy, somehow masumbalikdaw  sa mga anak na babae.  At that time, most of us 9 girls were in our 30s and none of us ever got pregnant or married except for my police sister.  But tinud jud, Dad never had any other woman kay busy man sya mahjongan ug sa Sunday school aka buwangan.

My grandfather had another woman though.  My grandma told us grandkids that Tatay Macar had other woman (or women, maybe) while working as a soldier.  One day, my grandmother received a letter from "the other" woman professing her love to my grandpa.  My grandma was one strong and feisty woman but she took the news so calmly and with grace.  She wrote back to the other woman and one thing she said that I couldn't forget what she said in her broken english, something like - thank you for loving my husband and thank you for taking care of him while I wasn't around to take care of him. 

I agree with you, Maring.  Objectively speaking, I think women are smarter than men! hahaha  Men will always be boys! Opps! Did I say it?

Sige na bitaw mo oi!  My cousin Menchu (Chemmene), also a TB member though not active kay naay duha ka tsikiting gagmay,  is coming too kon ato na kining i finalize kay wa man sila nadayon sa pasko.  Pagtarong namo aron aho mong masalinan sa buwad na gipadala ni Gemma!    And, of course, I will make you cakes - flavor and size of your choice!  Oh di va!

Manong Lindy, Angie, Jan-jan and hopefully pohon si Hazel, pangtabok tawon mo dire.  Asa nato si Beth, Gemma, Ethyl, Swakee, Raquel, ug uban pa!  Balong, ayaw na pag arte diha, of course you are invited. 

Sis A, do you think you can come too?  I would love to have you here too!  How about ATe Lita?

Hello BOC!  I am so excited to see you here!  Dire na lang ta sa Sacramento magkita BOC kay mag ari bitaw pod ka!  Tulo man mi dire:  ako, smiffy and ytesski.  I don't think Maring would mind coming here either, would you Maring?

Paging Mikey, Jez and other US-based TB members!  Let's see each other here.  Magpansit ko kay bday man na nko na time.

So then Ray, history repeats itself.  When we talk about Adan and Even eating-apple-story, people blamed Eve for tempting Adan to eat the apple.  I'd say, Adan was such a weakling.  Ngano gud ga pa tintal sya!

what happened to the legacy group owned rural banks is a case of pyramiding scheme that uses banks as it's collateral to their clients. legacy group is practicing bad loans and bank procedures. if you do lifestyle checks on any legacy employees and agents, they all owned several properties such as houses, cars among others. where did they get the money? from their downline and commissions from bank depositors and creditors. they didn't show any emotions after news broke out of possible closure and receivership from PDIC because they all know that it's where the company and it's banks are heading long before. the case between legacy and BSP erupted sometime in june 2007 after BSP found out the irregularities and other anomalies by the mother company legay. but legacy was able to get  TRO from an RTC and BSP elevate the case to the supreme court where it took more than year to resolve. last 1st of december, supreme court announced it's ruling in favor of BSP in which legacy didn't even contest because they know they are in the losing end. and gues who reported the irregularities? it was jacinto "jack hammer" jamero who is a true bloodied bol-anon from loon. he was the previous owner of PCRB before it was purchased by Legacy. he filed several suits trying to claim back his bank but he lost the case to legacy. had he succeded in taking back PCRB, until now PCRB could have been alive and become one of the best rural bank in RP behind greenbank. PCRB's demise is a big loss to the cebuanos since it's been part of their lives since 1967 when the corporate members of this bank are the frasco's and durano's in the midnorth.

I think you are right, Ray.  I mean, I have two close relatives who are working in the Legacy Group and in a bank owned by Legacy Group and I didn't see them getting rich but how else can you explain that a million peso deposit can be doubled in 5 years!  That is way too much! 

The Legacy Group and the Legacy Group-owned bank officers were called in for a meeting yesterday in Manila.  I don't know what else can they do to return the investments.  Ok lang ang sa banko kay insured man up to 250k and in most cases, gaka smart naman pod ning mga depositors na buak-buakon na nila ilang deposits para ma insured jud sa PDIC.

I think BSP should think of better ways to safeguard the deposits of the people because a failure of one bank will erode the people's trust to the whole banking system.

last june te,nivisit namo auntie malou to let herman invest too but herman was in quandary of the strategy na "double your money in 5 years". maau na lang nainvest ug another house because i can't imagine if it happens to us. moniwang samot herman ron sa kaguol and also, basin mabungol nako sa yawyaw.

Men, maayo na lang wa nadala si Herman.  Sus, purbida kon naka invest si Herman.  Yawyaw to the max jud tuod!

Ray, maayo na ipasa jud nang wapo genes nimo! 

Sige bitaw ta storya noh about nuts, nangita jud ko'g nuts!  Lastnight, my sister was coming to my house to get her cake order, I asked her to bring me peanuts.  Wala sya'y peanuts but brought instead cashew nuts.  Good enough for now.  Pagka adto nko ug Pinoy store, I will buy peanuts (kana bitaw gagmatoy kaajo) then akong i luto.  As in fry!  Then drizzle with salt!  Parisan dayon lemonade! dah!

bolingitboy:  daghan man wapa dinhi sa TB pod! 

Bitaw, tinuod jud ingon nila Jan ug Maring Belle, daghan dire allergic ug nuts.  My husband for one.  I just even used almond extract, natingala na lang ko kay ning burot iyang simod.  Then one time, we went to this Italian Pizza Restaurant and my aunt suggested we order the calamares.  It was very good!  So crunchy.  When we went home, my husband was itching all over.  He vomited and kept itching.  He was starting to have fever.  He took a lot of anti histamine pills and got better.  We then traced what he ate and the suspect was the calamares cooked in peanut oil. No wonder crunchy kaayo!

That's the only kind of love Haze that you can't afford to fall out of love.

Naa pod akong kwarta sa Legacy.

US based man gud ni nga companya mao nga mi uban sa Financial Crisis sa US.

Macks, the owner of Legacy Group is Celso delos Angeles.  He is based in Bicol region.  It's more likely than not that he invested in stocks in Wall Street which we know now that most are almost negative of value already.

Gaka panic attack ko ani na news.  My aunt in Davao works at Legacy.  She has big exposure and she also had friends invest their money in Legacy. Not only is she losing money, she will also be jobless. My aunt in CDO invested her husband's retirement unya ang interest monthly maoy gigamit for monthly consumption nila.  And now it's gone.

My cousin is president/manager of one rural bank in Cebu owned  by Legacy.  She called me this afternoon and she asked for prayer kay naa sya'y prospective buyer sa iyang bank.  She is not worried about catering the massive withdrawal these days but ga worry sya come early January kay daghan mag mature na time deposits.  Hay, grabeh kalisud jud.     All these talks about bank holidays reminded me of my own experience back then as a banker of a struggling bank.  Dili lalim gajud!  You have to face the wrath of your clients...

hahahha this is the old TB!  Ang topic books, ning abot ug lafang! 

A Layman, don't worry, pa OA lang ni among storya pero kaon jud oi!

GANTANGAN to Tiya kadtong murag cube nga ang one side way tabon!

pastilan ba oi! pwerte jud nahong katawa diri nagbasa sa tinapa ug salmon!

ay sa LA na diay ko naka tilaw ug tunay nga tinapa, kanang giingon ni Calle nga smoked fish!

sus Ginoo pagka lami ug pagka mahal raba gajud!!!

Nah hala oi gantangan man kaha gud! heheh Basta kay nag kaon ko'g Ligo tinapa/sardinas/ salmon ganina kay gi hidlaw ko sige nato'g storya dire!

Maring, gpagbawal na kana white rice dire ni Murage.  Dali ra lagi daw ma convert to simple sugar.  Busa, if I eat rice, brown rice or wild rice which is fine by me.  Mais pod.  Di man mi mawad-an ug binlod kay mao man na iyang i alternate with potatoes and beans.

Thanks, Esa.  It sadden me to see news like this.  I know a lot of people put their hard-earned money in the banks only to find out that the bank is closing or in this case, has declared "bank holiday".  But I hope the depositors will not be so anxious.  Their deposits are insured with PDIC, unless their deposits are way beyond the maximum insurable amount of 250k.

My aunt who has a substantial investment with Legacy is in panic too.  I will ask my cousin who manages a rural bank in Cebu owned also by Legacy Group if there's any update in this PRB case.

Ako ning i send sa iya ang link.  Thanks, Haze.

Yes, daghan ta'g makaplagan dire.  Friends or not so friendly.

Ingon sa akong uncle seaman, historical look-alike daw nako ka si Ms. Tapia sa Iskol Bukol!

Crush material aka wapo boy kaayo ka, Ray! 

Love him nonetheless.  You don't have to be reciprocated to love somebody. Oh diva, martir epek!

Yes, naa si aa sa Davao naka base. He or she  helped me in finding my long, lost good friend from way back college. 

Oi, Sir A Layman, ajaw ko i ma'am tawon, an!  

liwat nimo ah!

Either you love a person or you don't. 

Mag ask ko unya, Haze.  I hope successful again iyang sardinas drive for the lumad.  Asa naman to si aa oi basin makatabang to!

and nice legs too!

Wala pa ko sukad na fall out of love.

tinuod man pero ang pag sulti nila ba mura'g bugal2x!  Ay basin kadtong version na akong nakita pod sa youtube.

I absolutely KILLED that lab final. A 50 minute exam, done in 15 minutes, reviewed the answers for 15 minutes for a grand total of 30 minutes!

I know you can do it! 

ay ambot nalifong nako'g hinumdum! tawgan na pod nko si mommy mangutana ko!  

Oh, that's a good idea, A Layman!  Next year, if we have enough harvest, I will dry some kamunggay then I will put it in an empty capsule casing so I can consume more without tasting it. 

diluted na lagi kaayo atong mga pinulungan kay although I can remember na kadtong salmonan, kadto man tong mura'g square na taksanan ug bugas pero gatawgon lang gihapon nang tinapa ug salmon sa amo.  Syalan ba oi gigutom naman lang hinuon ko aning tinapa.  Naa ra ba koy Ligo dire.

We are all important to God, no matter how worthless we think we are of His love.  So what we can do is to consciously strive every time to be pleasing to Him, to make us worthy of His love.  To make us worthy of the life of Jesus Christ that gave up for our salvation.

wards, all the while I was thinking si Yoyoy Villame ga kanta ana kay bugal2x man gud!
