What you will see underneath my skin is my weakness, easily melts and rendered helpless in the hands of a beautiful lady. In realizing my weakness, I also discovered my strength, that is the ability to grow again and the ability to love. I live and die for love. I may have said I love you many times, but each time that I say it, it is fueled by my sense of strong love, to share. For what is life without love, and what is love without pain. Pain is that necessary ingredient in a person's life to relish the beauty and sweetness of love. he!he!he!he! Are you closer to the Philippines now? he!he!he!he!

Talking about beautiful women, here is an excerpt from the book “San Carlos City, A Celebration” page 15.….A rather significant aspect of Carlenian culture is the spotlight on the womenfolk especially the younger ones. They are remarkably fair, observers comment. “ Is it the water you drink, or your ancestry?” they ask. Limahong, the Chinese renegade, built his colony in and around the Capital of the province, not too far away from San Carlos. It is also speculated that maybe some members of the British occupation forces during the revolt of Palaris might have strayed into some parts of Pangasinan province. Whichever theory sounds more credible, the story is told about the most beautiful woman in Pangasinan of her time, who hailed from San Carlos during the second and third decade of the 20th century. Her beauty was known far and wide. It is said the suitors came to town to gaze at her loveliness and wiped their handkerchiefs over the place she sat on. Her mother, too, was extremely beautiful for her age even with her graying tresses tied with a bun on top of her head.. Miss Verzosa was the name of the beautiful woman. Among her numerous suitors, she must have fallen in love with the most prominent lawyer from an eastern town of the province. He was the most persistent suitor and the most frequent visitor but Miss Verzosa’s mother did not approve of their marriage for one reason or another. His very honest and sincere intentions never lead to the altar and Miss V. became an old maid walking to the church in long sleeves and folded arms. The prominent lawyer became the highest magistrate of the land and he married an equally beautiful woman. Such love stories with unhappy endings are the stuff of which sad movies are made.

Damdaming kinikimkim ay mahirap ibulalas lalo ng kung kasawian ang maaring kasasapitan. Ngunit kung ang ninanasa ay tunay na kaligayahan, kasawian man o kamatayan ay maluwag mong tatangapin. At kung ang ikaliligaya ng minumutya - kahit kasawian ay matamis mong lulunukin. Ganyan ang pagmamahal hindi mapagmalaki, hindi sakim - ibibigay ang huling hininga dahil kaligayan at kasiyahan na makita ang mutyang maligaya. Wala akong masisi kundi ang sarili, dahil hindi ko naipadama sa iyo ang tunay na kahulugan ng magmahal sa katulad mo.

I used to have lanzones and now became mabolo like, fuzzy, bright red and so appealing to human eyes. But they both become not so edible that I asked KB about its protective mimicry. His advised was to let it stay red until Mr Woodpecker came for a harvest. I am waiting till November first till some unsuspecting kid come for a"kamarerwa" for gift in the middle of the night. On the other hand most women would be delighted to have it as a gift from heaven especially when they are on the family way.

When we go on vacation, it is to remind us that we belong to ourselves. It is the time when we get out of our normal routine and do things that we enjoy. It is sort of vacation of the mind from our body. The body follows what our mind likes to do, taxing our body to fulfill the wishes of the mind. With the Occidental mind, the mind and body likes a vacation that pushes the body to its limit like skiing and other outdoor sports while an Oriental mind likes his body to spend leisurely time to let his mind enjoy the picture of his vacation place. Comes days after vacation, the Oriental minded person is ready to go to work while the Occidental mind is tired and would take time to recuperate his worn out body. Where do you belong? You there Tibs, have a good time! ……

One of the most beautiful verses I read in the holy book is the book of Ruth,here it is, "Do not plead with me to abandon you,to turn back from accompanying you; for where you go I shall go; Your people shall be my people,and your God,my God.Where you die ,I shall die.....And may God do so to me and add to it if anythiung but death should separate me from you".....Ruth 1:16 (the Holy Bible)

Sanchotito .... I can't go on a long vacation without letting you feel the whizzle of an arrow from my longbow - not Lilliputian arrow - close to your ears. I know, you'd all marked up on BnP's ballerina-like moves - a Manolito in the Arena de Toros. Yes! He could be a maestro in avoiding Toro Bravo. He could be as cool like a new harvested cuke Yols so described. He could be as sweet a talker to escape the hangman's knot. I was watching 60 Minutes last night, and it featured the torero brothers Ordonez. Lo and behold; Then and there KB 'n BnP unfolded before my eyes, those moves that will make the Payong girls drop their pants, the ecstatic pirouette of the matador .... until .... Cayetano backing off in a show of perfection tripped and gorged by the bull. Like I said NOTHING ... is immaculate. Adios!

I’m back to town again and I’m sorry that JFC is nowhere in site, it looks like Tibs and Mols drove him away to hide in the forest. Well, JFC, I have something for you on how to get over Tibs and Mols. I have seen this worked several times in the past. Tibs’ strategy is to be a pain in the --- or butt. He shots his little arrows (dipped in histamine) to different parts of your body until your cojones will either swell because you’re irritated or wither and retreat to safety inside your body because he wore you off. And that is not good for the lansones because they could not withstand the body temperature of 37 degrees C, that is the main reason why they are hanging which is the best way to preserve eggs, ask KB, he is the expert in the use and care of lansones. That is the reason why he needs payong girls when playing Golf to protect from the heat and sunlight his most treasured lansones, I said sunlight because I don’t know how to play Golf with payong girls. Lansones could not withstand the heat of the body, that is why nature left them hanging to maintain their vitality. Let us go back with the guerilla war with Tibs. In the past, this is what BnP did to withstand the itch and pain caused by those tiny arrows of Tibs. His strategy is called perseverance, I mean he made sure that he had several pairs of his lansones in several sacks and hanged them in different parts of his body, in that case when a pair of lansones swell or retreat, he has several pairs to spare. With his strategy, he wore off Tibs who he retreated because his own lansones were affected by inguinal hernia due to the exertions shooting those tiny arrows and he needed to lie down. See, that was how BnP survived his fight using perseverance but it had a side effect. He is so restless with the leftover unused spare of lansones so he moves around the province trying to wear off his hormone level to become normal. That is the reason why Mols said that Bnp talks loud that it irritates her soft and gentle ears. As far as how to handle Mols, your friend TPU would be of great help. After retirement, he just looked at the beauties and stayed away from the prey. He used his eyes too much that he became cross eyed. If you were cross eyed, Mols will be at your 180 degree vision and she could not sneak to throw dart on you. Although she wears a cowboy outfit and acts like a cowboy, she is sweet deep inside so bribe her with Asti Spumante, that sweet , sparkling wine from Martini Rossi and her eyes would sparkle when she would drink with you. But most of all, JFC, come back and bring extra pair of lansones and I am sure you will outlast both of them. I know, as a submariner, you are trained to persevere deep down there., keep your supply of lansones until Tibs will have his hernia attack and would be forced to lie down

Everybody says you will be sailing away – but not forever; come back to us so we can know your equal half. You will have your new life, with him to see world in a colored specs. A new set of eyes will scour the beauty of your surroundings – drinking cup of coffee in the morning. I admire those are able to reconcile their past with the present and let love grows in their heart as it should be. When I posted the line from Antoine de St. Exupery, you were on target identifying it right away. I do believe her – and let the beauty of the world be seen by heart – judging eyes and ego will embrace the goodness in each of us. I know that the world is not made of evils for if you compare the good, it still overwhelm. As I told you before, Bolinao has a special place in my heart – and it will stay there forever. For everyone that touches me have in a way enhance my life. Pleasant or otherwise, it gives me a better perspective to guide me in future decisions. Limitations are set by our imperfections – and we overcome that by understanding; even with those that do not deserve it. For you who understand and make adjustment is always the better person. I believe that class should not be flaunted, it is shown by your actions and the way you deal with your fellow being. Likewise, intelligence is reflected every time you open your mouth. You have reflected both. I would have wished you Good Luck, but I know that you have it by birth – I will just wish you happy time and a long life to enjoy it. And a happy Monday to all of the posters too.

Respect to the institution of marriage specially mine is something I will always abide. And to the other insinuation that you have - no, I will not take the bait.

Me a grammar policeman? perish the thought. If I were one, I would not have a moment of rest as 99.9% of posters are guilty of one thing or another either in spelling, syntax, the use of tenses and so on and so forth. Regulars here have decided quite a while ago that this message board has 2 main functions; one for entertainment and the other one for information. Grammar sleuths are generally desregarded as they destroy the spontaniety of the moment. What are frowned upon though are posters who are too presumptuous in their talk without being sure of the veracity of what they are talking about. The only time I would mention something is when I'm trying to augment and validate a point I'm trying to make.

Hi there! You mentioned ... valsalvo. It's valsalva ... the Valsalva maneuver named after Antonio Maria Valsalva. Under US Navy recruitment standard for submarine service, is the first requirement of several tests. If the submarine training candidate cannot perform this ... maneuver ... under doctor's supervision at normal atmospheric pressure, that candidate is rejected as ... unfit for submarine service ... but may serve on surface ships. Note: submarine service is voluntary not mandatory. That's how rigorous the service is! A submariner is - the cream of the crop - the US Navy can pull from its ranks.

Claudia, here is an authentic preHispanic wedding tradition. I wonder if you could make use of it...... When a young man developed his desire for a young woman, his parents would ask for the girl’s hand from her parents. The young man would throw his spear at the ladder of the girl’s house to signify that they were engaged. In the meantime, the young man would enslave himself to serve the future parents in laws to gain approval, a tradition called being of service ( pan sirbian ). He would plow the fields and sow and harvest the crops. He would pitch water from the well or the river, using a potted vessel ( boyog) or a long, hollowed bamboo tube ( I forgot the name ). It would take months or even a year for the young man to serve the bride’s family in order to be accepted as the suitable husband of the bride.... Once accepted, the groom would give dowry to the bride’s parents and the marriage would be planned ( onsegec). For the ceremony, the bride and the groom would go to the house of the “minister “ who was well verse of the customs and traditions of their religious beliefs. The minister would join the couple’s hands over a plate of raw rice and blessed the couple. Then he would feed them cooked rice from the same plate and then have them drink water. Binding together their hands and necks with a chord, he declared them married. The festivities and reception would be provided by the grooms family. Celebration of the wedding would start the day and the night before the wedding ceremony and would continue for the next day or two, depending on the wine and food available.. Drinking wine, night and day without ceasing comes with singing and dancing. Food would be served, cooked meat of swine, deer, and carabao to the delight of the whole barangay and those invited from the other barangays. After the wedding, the newly weds would live with the groom’s family until the couple could afford to build their own household. ( What do you think,is it not fun? ) The above info is from books and from stories of an old relative when I was a child, my Laki Bianong from San Juan.

elopement is exciting than traditional marriage. it adds spice to a routine church wedding. as for grand party with 15 ninongs and ninangs, it makes things complicated just in case you have a change of heart vis a vis divorce, annulment, separation. the more people in the party, the happier one would hope. this work for the wealthy and monied. this tradition goes way back even before spain came to our motherland where communities contribute to the party by bringing whatever they can. the current tradition requires for the guy to spend till he is broke. take some pictures. youre gonna need them to remind you and your future spouse how you get there in case things go sour, as it will go sour from time to time. wish you all the luck...

whoa. time out. have you guys wake up in the wrong side of bed? were you dreaming that you were going to fight today with everyone? as im most everything, it takes two or more to do it. someone started the insult; the insult was taken by another. that person feels obligated to fight back as his/her pride was hurt. you see that pride in filipinos always comes out very personal. now everyone is in it as in 'labo labo' la. it doesn't have to be this way. i know we are better than this from reading past postings from everyone. in my experience, there is nothing worst for an insulter/attacker when the attackee (grammar police here i am) refuse to get involve. however i am compelled be a referee coz i think its worth saving whatever it is worth saving here. if we all remember why we come here as was said many times previously then we should stick to that. life is short to spend most of it in miserable times. i was told that it takes more muscle to frown than it is to smile not to mention the elevation of your heart. for those of you who are taking medication, please take your medication now be it for the heart or for attitude. if you ran out, its time to go to the pharmacy. and i hope i didn't offend anybody for this post. just remember where we came from : adam and eve. i bid you all PEACE.

Whatever you guys are having this morning, please share some because this cup of brew in front of me (sic: is not) cutting it. _____ Are any of you guys into children's lit? Last night, hubby rented this movie called "Where The Wild Things Are". It's an adaptation of the classic picture book by Sendak. Hubby and I like to talk about the movies (sic: we previously watched), and we love to dissect its hidden meaning or potential. (The good ones that is.) He insists that all the characters in the movie are the boy's different persona, and I was appalled that one boy can have so many personality at such a young age: angry, loving, protective, critic, leader, follower. My take on it was that the boy was one character, the very angry mole, and the other characters were people he blames for making him the way he is. We couldn't agree on the synopsis, so I looked up the original picture book and sure enough, it was just a learning tool for children on anger management. Btw, the book was censored by a lot of public libraries back then because they thought it wasn't appropriate for children. Like hubby and I, (sic: they) put too much Freudian psychoanalysis in what was seemingly an easy learning experience to children and adults ...

This is by no means an attempt to heap insult on you. It is just a classic example of the all too common mistake that everybody makes while posting in a hurry where we don't bother to edit our writing. On your posting to JFC on Mar.6, you stated "misspelling of words in a medium like this displays who you are how far your given knowlwedge of the English language. Your knowledge is substandard, old man". Meanwhile on your posting to BnP on the same date, you mentioned the word 'pervertion". You must mean "perversion". I can see that you are an intelligent person but if we folow your criteria, could we also say that your knowledge of the english language is substandard? Again this is just an intellectual discourse, not a trading of personal insult which I abhor.

It is Saturday morning and I am thinking why people like to fight, either physically or verbally. It is probably an instinctive behavior that humans inherited from their distant ancestors when survival was the name of the game and when tribal territories were being formed. Robin, the bird, is territorial and this bird assigns itself a territory that other robins could not hang out. This instinctive behavior reminds me of the time I was growing up in San Carlos when a young man from other areas would be in danger of being beaten up by a barkada of young men, ( kursonada , an instinctive territorial behavior). It was indeed a primitive behavior, a selfish showing of one’s power to a stranger who was helpless in an unfamiliar place. It is a cowardice instinct because these young men don’t give the stranger an equal footing and the young men hide their identity in a group mentality.... When people throw words to people they don’t know, it is like throwing stones on a passing car, you might hurt the passenger but the effect is on the refutation of the area where you live.... Your intention in challenging a person is to prove your worthiness and you feel satisfied if the other person acknowledged your challenge by his reaction, his instinct to survive. But the fact is that the satisfaction is yours alone without the recognition that you were craving for because it is only you who gave praise to your feat. Our neighborhood would gain respect if and only if we behaved and respect ourselves. When we respect our ourselves, it shows our respect for our neighbors but if we don’t respect ourselves, that behavior would spill out to the street.... But the reality is our human instinct would always be with us wherever we go, the control is dependent on our exposure and experience.

Typho errors are common in this board as well as in any other site. Murdering the English language is not by intention but by our laziness to edit our own posting. If you do that all the time, you are killing the fun. And if you know that JFC is senior to you, he at least deserves respect specially when you have not meet him. We can fire insult against each other all day, and we can reduce this board like the other town board where people outdo each other firing insults. We have the initial exchange of insult and should suffice. I have engaged in it, by firing back; each of us had our fair turn. So how about calling it a truce, and be back to exchanging our true opinion. I said mea culpa for my participation. WE CANNOT MAKE OURSELVES BIGGER BY MAKING EVERYONE AROUND US SMALLER. So to the regulars of this board, I apologize for my share of insults. I will head on to the other town boards if I feel the urge of indulging in such a waste of mind. I think, I do not have to go too far to satisfy myself. Next town – that is their staple. He!he!he!he! So what do you say, Yols, TP, KB, Santito (what is your choice name today?)

It is about time the moles come out from their burrowed holes. At least you learn a new word “jabberwocky” – or probably you have not risen up from the jabberwocky literary that adolescence used to fancy. Ahhh today is about the temperature is about 50, surely your IQ is 10% higher than that. So that places you above average among moles. Moles are that critters that feed on tubers. Hairy, the size of a big thumb. Spring must be around the corner that explains your coming out. Welcome back mole or shall I say mol.

If you take all the dialect in the Philippines, especially one that is located in common area, you will note that there is a common denomination. English and Spanish as different as they are, there exist a common factor for each of these human spoken dialect especially those that are derivative from roman alphabet. i.e., Light in english, luna in spanish. Silew in Pangsinan, silaw in Ilocano, ilaw in tagalog. "L" becomes the common factor. When you talk in Pangasinan, as different from Binubolinao, the similarity exist in that some of the letter i.e., "L" in Binubolinao is changed to "r." In Pangasinan, the word is "paulian" in Binubolinao, it is "puryan." Stay close to that principle and learn few words in a day. In month's time, you can almost grasp the language. Now, the method of language immersion - to be effective, if you are a man, have a young lady who fires your interest be with you all the time. Your desire to earn the dialect will be inspired by your desire to immersed with her. Thus, the principle of "language immersion." Get's mo? he!he!he!he!

how low can you go, this inquiring mind wants to know. a few days ago, i was filled with laughter and amusement coming here expecting to learn. learn, i did. today, personal attack came back. as in any politicians back home, anyone trailing the other turns to personal attack. i would like to think this attack is sort of a 'rest' for people who just came from an excessive mental excercise. however, if this continue, lots of people will be turn off. that is what i think is the problem with people back home who would rather boycott (worst take the money and vote the most monied) the election. the rest of us watch and wonder why our motherland in in such disarray. it is fair to say most of us, if not all,posting here are filipinos. majority have left the country for better economic opportunity. with that goal close to achievement, i wonder how i can contribute back. 'give man a fish and he will eat one day. show him how to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.' when i much younger, i was wonder why we give change to beggar. to make them go away? to make them eat for one day? does it make the giver happy? does that reduce the beggars in the street? church, in particular the catholic, are against population control. yet they don't offer help after the fact the baby is abandoned in the street. the philippine government said that people are the 'resource of the nation'. again they don't offer solutions to poverty. instead, it is encourage for the filipinos to leave and become ofw for the hard earned dollar. nevermind where it came from even it its from a sister being a 'whore' for a foreign land. the government is unashamed pimping our women, even our boys, for any dollar they can get. the government is for the people by the people. people power was the perfect example for that. however, the philippines dont need edsa for __th time. with that said, i know our country will be in a better place economically if our people back home are willing. but they must want it even if that means by radical means.jose rizal died in a young age because he saw a better life for us. for what is a golden age if it was spent in 'rotten' condition? each and everyon of us can contribute in pacifying our politicians for more dollars. however, we can do better in showing them money is not the answer. let's use our dollar power collectively in making that dream.

We are back to our Zarzuela Grande with the actors and actresses assuming the favorite roles. We are ready to fire our cannons towards any direction and hopefully we don’t fire indiscriminately. The main reason why I stick to this forum is because I was a native of the town. Occasionally, I sneaked to the other forums for vacation. It is the flow of ideas that attracts other posters to contribute into our pot, this potpourri provides a good source of topics to dissect. We have all kinds of posters in this forum but we don’t have heroes and heroines so to make this place vibrant, we needed an antihero. The role of an antihero is necessary, it brings out the best of the discussion by making the posters thoroughly explain their points of view. We have had intense discussions so I hope we should limit our attack and counterattack to the ideas being exposed. We should not dig down deep into our personal background because this is a friendly exchange of ideas, not a tournament or jeopardy game. How about a “village idiot“? well, he provides a good source of ….whatever…. A good lesson in life that I learned is to admit error of judgment and apologize when I realized that I goofed because I know that I am not perfect and nobody is perfect. I don’t know anybody in this forum personally but I feel some kind of affinity to some because of the exchange of ideas. …Yols, with 95% confidence limit, I can say that Dalig is the 180 degree version of d’Americano and Kemel is an in between of the two. How do I know? Whenever we write, we unconsciously spit out expressions that is part of a habit, that expression among the three was “all that jazz”. He eventually gave it up after I pointed out to him, hehhehe. After he came back as HP, he was a changed persona, but HP continued to become Tibs… We all impersonate different pen names in Pang.org.

Hi, Claudia, have you forgotten that this board is a grand Zarzuela. We assigned ourselves the role we like to play. Dalig alias D’Americano, Kemel, HP, Zorro, Hidalgo, Tiburon, Orca, Levi, B2, etc enjoys his role as the Anti Hero, his assumed name depends on the circumstances, so don’t be surprised by his aggressive moves. In this board, we also have our favorite village idiot who plays his character superbly. … As for the written English, you don’t have to worry, we are in the same boat. I write in simple English, I don’t use high sounding words because I am a very simple person and I hope I don’t end up as a simple minded person, hehehe. What is important are the ideas that we try to project in the most convenient language that we are familiar with. I must admit that I am not versatile and articulate in Pangasinan like some of you folks in this board. For you JFC, you are welcomed to express yourself in any fashion you like. All ideas here are welcomed, we don’t judge the merit of your idea because we ourselves are not the authority to judge its merit. Most ideas that we write are based on our experience, practical or theoretical, that is why we vary on the context of what we write. People’s experience about the same event varies because of their background so that is where arguments start. Because people are by nature competitive, ( survival of the fittest ) they try their best to win the argument. But the truth of the matter is that an interpretation of an idea will vary with time and people, it is only in Science where principles are constant… As for me, I just write my piece and have good time writing what comes to my mind, but whenever I have a chance to tickle the funny bone of BNP ( he has one primary and several secondary in different parts), he will get it. hehehe.

The question of allegiance surface again. If my memory serves me right, Dalig’s hypothesis then was that returning Pilipinos who pledge allegiance to American Flag ceases to be Filipinos, that the Dual Citizenship is an effort to afford them undeserved rights. Central to these discussion are the issue of “dual citizenship” and “Pilipino Heritage” which all we all cling to as a badge of identity and honor. He termed the returning Pilipinos as celebrant hungry – and he should not be competing with them. By connotation, he infers that anyone who pledges allegiance to foreign flag is a traitor and not deserving any respect. My explanation then and my explanation now which reflects my belief and conviction is that we did not just pledge allegiance to a foreign flag, but to the ideals represented by the USA flag. Anyone here is welcome to prove me wrong if the US Flag do not represent the ideals of Democracy, the Right to Freedom enthroned in the US Constitution – and instead it represents socialism – would anyone of us change our citizenship? I DO NOT THINK SO. Foremost, we carry deep in our heart that Freedom and Democracy, which the US and its Flag represents, was the primary reason why pledging allegiance was not difficult but almost welcomed. Of course, there is the economic benefit that follows, but none of this would be possible if it is not the ideals of democracy, equality the sanctity of your identity respected that is the primordial cause of our changing allegiance. In fact, we did not change allegiance for the same concept is contained in the Philippines Constitution and similar moral precepts are the fiber of our society that made the transition easier for all of us. Now the big issue of loyalty comes to play. The question of where would I side in case the two countries are in opposing conflict. The response is that that will only happen if the Philippines embrace different political ideology other than what is in US Society and its constitution and laws. If that happens, I am sure that most of us will have no trouble picking up arms against our birthplace for what we are fighting is the shift in political ideology that certainly will alienate brothers and kinfolks. This has happened many times in history and our case will not be an exception. This my friends is the view and thinking of your simple brother Boleg nen Palaripar born and raised in the barrio and kapasulan of San Carlos.

It is hard to speak four or more languages fluently as in your case. Since English is not your everyday language, it will be 2nd to the last or last of these four languages you speak that I know of. You are most fluent in German, Binubolinao, Tagalog, English. "Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch", it is one of the most difficult languages. Hubby cannot speak it fluently as he does with other languages. See, this MB is a two way street. One listens and learns, the other teaches.

I was caught offguard by your comment. Surely, no one is asked to stay away from SCCMB. As most will agree with me, we are purely cerebral here – and of course some of us if asked to be on other contest other than mental pugilistic contest – any San Carlenian will gladly abide by such wish. Although no assurance that our butt would not be kicked; but, if such is the result, certainly such butt kicking could not be accomplished with ease. For we were from birth trained in ass kicking too (that is the Amputi Layag speaking in me; he!he!he!he!) However, in this forum we are from all over, exemplified by Veggio, whose wife revealed where he is from. Zorro, Alacran, Americano, Levi and the many personalities he keep in himself will try to throw you off balance by inviting your ire, knowing that when anger emerged, reason goes out. But if you keep marching to your own cadence – he will embrace you for truly he personifies the cerebral brute that smiles when the enemy folds and celebrates with you if you match his wits. Believe me, he tried me more than once but his attempts were rendered futile. For I am cool like a cucumber, straight like six oclock and have my pizzas like a raz mattaz. To be certain, I looked at his posting again – it is the usual himself, no inferences of driving anyone away; he is just saying stay sharp and be on alert for he will throw anything and every thing at you. Just make sure it is not his PISTAQ for I will not even offer explanation to that.

Tell them like it is. People who are devoid of simple courtesy are just plain ordinary cry babies who are very much overbearing in dealing with others. They think they are superior in everyway. I suggest just ignore them and carry on with what you think is right. By that it will end up the discussion. No one in this board is more intelligent than others and by saying high flame languages or words or methapors is nothing but plain showmanship which has no bearing on the subject matter.

He served the US Navy,yes, a decorated submarine man and worked a managerial job after the submarine carreer, in Structural Engineering catering the USA Aviation Logistics for the US Air Force, a Fed. Agency.. I think he knew TPU.And as for the well polished Narra parkett of SCCMB, I know that I am one of those who cannot compete with your American English skill but that dosen´t mean we are stupid nor unintelligent persons.Yes, I do not speak the English and I am here to learn.Could it be assumed that this MB is reserved only to the self-confident,illustrious,super- genial posters....?Is there no room for normal beings like us?Are you telling us to get out of the MB?

Let me repeat those two sentences that I posted yesterday. 1. Philippines is "STILL" my country. I did not say, Philippines is my country. Try to comprehend this two sentences. 2. If you choice not to "CONSIDER" Philippines your country, you have the right to do so. There is the word "CONSIDER". Serving under the United States Military and become U S citizen does not mean that I will be unfaithful to my country of birth. Of course, I am now settled in America as a citizen of this country. Now, read carefully. America is my country. I drop the word,"STILL". I never in my life tainted my hair. Black hair with a shade of gray is beautiful. This is a free country. You may exercise your freedom of sarcastic remarks at anytime.

Pata y Rabo de Res( Beef feet 'n oxtail). If the pata is whole have the butcher cut into 1 and 1/2 inch thick. Then put it together in a cooking pot to boil (iquelnat) to cleanse it from any dirt embedded in. After that wash it and put it back in the pot. Ingredients: pepper corns, garlic and onions. The latter two cut and dice. And let it boil until it is soft to the prong of a fork. This will take 3 to 4 hours in slow simmering fire...... Note: I never use a pressure cooker. Cooking is like making love to a woman. Doing it in a hurry is bad for the taste ...... Then, add salt to taste. Some uses a pinch of MG to drive the excitement. After this, drop a bunch of bokchoy, or cabbage, or beans, or asparagus or any veggie you prefer. This dish is versatile. To add color to it, a couple/triple cut of plantain is advised, but not overriped, and few potatoes. The red ones are preferred whole not skinned. Serve hot.

Yes, truce, BUT ... by law, it is now possible to be a dual citizen (US and Phil). You do have to petition one of the countries to be one. I'm not sure what the criteria is as far as granting certain groups of people dual citizenship, but I can tell you for certain that a 46-year old female with vision of 1800/2400 can easily get one, hehehe. ____ From what I know, even an ex-US military serviceman can apply for dual citizenship (Phil/US) and may be granted one, BUT he/she will have to forfeit any accrued post-service payments (i.e. pension). Is it morally right to be a dual citizen? Why not? If you are able to marry moral values along with social values, doesn’t that lead to self-actualization? ____ Think of it as parentage. An adopted child has two sets of parents, biological and adoptive. The child's allegiance depends on how close he feels toward each set of parents. How could this child feel close to parents who gave him up? What if it was an open adoption where the biological parents are allowed visitations and some parenting rights, etc.? This child will grow up with allegiance to both sets of parents. ____ Can JFC call Philippines his country even if his citizenship belongs to USofA? Why not? How about principle, morality, etc.? Who among you here claim to be Catholics? How many of you go to church on Sundays??? I rest my case!

The American fighting men of Japanese descent were deployed in the Italian Campaign - not European - because of political constraints. Though, they were in uniform, still the suspicious minds of the military hierarchy at that time reigned supreme. The underlying belief was, if their parents are still incarcerated in Manzanar, is it possible they'll turn their guns against the Americans in a tight fight with the Japanese? But, Roosevelt was not a keen student of the Japanese honor code ... the way of the warrior - Bushido. He was deadly wrong! As Americans ... borned or naturalized ... the complete and unrestricted devotion to America is the norm. As it came to pass, Daniel Inouye as a lieutenant in the 442 RCT, was sent to the grinder in the Rome-Arno line in Terenzo in the Appenines northern Italy ... not Belgium in the Ardennes. His arm cut by a rifle grenade he kept on fighting until he lost consciousness. If I am not mistaken, there were quite a few Medals of Honor given to members of that regiment like pancakes at IHOP. The patriotism of Americans irrelevant of blood or place of origin.

I think we have gone into this kind of discussion some years ago ..with Dalig,and he never returned to this board.JFC, don´t care too much about Zorro,because as long as he cooks "Pinapaitan,try very hard to avoid the smell, cook airtight in a pressure cooker,still his kitchen stinks of that kind of potpourri of internal organs.His favourite dish, the "Pinapaitan" is a delicacy only the Filipinos can excellently cook and the smell is authentic,incomparable.So as long as Zorro cooks "Pinapaitan" and savour up to indigestion,he he he..he is still a Pilipino by taste,by heart ,better believe me.He cannot deny this truth..and as for the Filipinos in their choice of President,they deserve their own choice.Who are we to judge that they are stupid?Maybe a Zorro who fights for the right cause could certainly be a good president. Vote for him.BTW, this is the kind of argumentation and intervention exactly to his taste,he laughs his socks off!and ask him the true reason why he does not dye his hair.......and the Philippines will never go into a suicidal David and Goliath war against America,unless they will be having a Chinese as president and Bin Laden our prime minister.Wars are no more fought on the ground but in terms of money,economic war!

At the height of the WWII, the Japanese Americans were interned in camps in the interior and that was when the young volunteered into the military to prove their loyalty to their country, America. The Japanese battalion that fought in Europe was the most decorated fighting unit during the European campaign. But remember, they were not used to fight the Japanese Army in Asia.

When a shooting war comes about between the P and A, you'll have to take sides with A whatever the cost. For the sake of argument: 1) During WW II, Americans of German descent fought the Nazis from Normandy to the Elbe.

A citizen is a native or naturalized person who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it. If you are an American citizen by virtue of naturalization but you claimed that your country is the Philippines, then you are confused because there is no dual citizenships for Filipinos. If you took your oath as a citizen and still don‘t claim America as your country, then you were dishonest. Honesty defines a person of character, it embodies the principles that you stand for and willing to fight for the sake of what you believe. Any body who took oath of citizenship as American should pledge allegiance to America because your oath is a sign of character. Does it mean that if the Philippines is at war with America, you would fight for the Philippines? That is treason. The best you could do is stay neutral…..I was born and raised in the Philippines but I love America because it is my country although the Philippines has a special place in my heart, it is like my first love that I would never forget. I am sentimental about the Philippines and I will never forget the place as long I live, but I love America because it is my country after I took my oath as a citizen.

In the event of civil disorder, Martial law is one instrument use to keep peace and order. However, when all the situation are back to normal, it should be lifted. During Marcos administration, Martial law was imposed indefinitely. This means he uses martial law for his protection to remain in power indefinitely, and that's when the people had enough. If I am not mistaken, he also attempted to change our democratic form of government into parliamentary form government, but not successful. Marcos is an intelligent person. The only problem is he has no intention of stepping down and that is against our democratic form of government. He made some noticeable improvement in the country such as freeway constructions to interconnect towns and cities. Marcos is realy not that bad of a president.

Here is my opinion about Education being not the only criteria for all the candidates seeking government position in our country. In addition to education, one must be a law abiding citizen of good moral character. A candidate or candidates who bribes the voters for their votes, is showing himself or herself that he or she is not a law abiding citizen of good moral character. This people a not credible enough to run the government. In our country, I believe that people as such are already sited or about to be sited. If the community condone this practice, there success of improving their livelihood become bleak.

It would be an affront, to even admit there's somebody out there capable to pull the Pinoy out from the morass he's in. Even Recto, the vaunted nationalist, was in reality a progressive. If he was given the chance to be president - what he'd done with the country could be a centralization of government .... a kibbutzim.

I am not a fan of President Ramos. He went to a very prestigious school at West Point where leadersip is of paramount part of the curiculum, but in his case I didn't think he absorbed the true nature of being a leader. While President he made lots of overseas travels as junkets which made past Presidents look amateurs and brought home nothing of what he learned from those travels. His spoken English are to me below average that after 4 years at Wespoint he should portray more fluency in spoken English. As President he pardoned Honasan a military fugitive from justice just a pat in back and 20 push ups and thats all. Honasan's guilt was washed down just like that, he did nothing wrong. Honasan abandoned his oath loyal to the Phil Army and fought back against it. In wartime he rates a firing squad. He should be incarcerated for life. Philippines is Philippines noted for its lawlessness with no one minding the store. EDSA is just a pure comedy of people venting their anger and displeasure of Marcos where Priest and Nuns were visible oponnents of Marcos regime. A new regime or administration took over, but what have they accomplished? We were just mired deeper in more problems, hunger, poverty and declining moral values. What I knew is whoever takes over to take charge of the affiars of the State will stay the same as is now with more hungry employees elected or appointed to fill up their pockets as their priority which is true to all government functionaries including the Army and Police agencies. Will NoyNoy or Villar can change our status for the better? I don't think so but more parties and galas with lots of jewels and opulence on display while our poor constitutents in far flunged barios are suffering for lack of food and diseases. Enough is enough.

I have a picture with Ramos, one to one, but this does not prevent me from stating the undeniable fact that Ramos and Enrile were the primary engineers of the Martial Law. Where the breakage in alliance started, it may have to do with US regime growing tired of Marcos asserting the independence of the Philippines. The enforcement of the parity termination per the agreement generated by the insistence of President Marcos was not a welcome act to the Americans. Marcos intending to be remembered as a good ruler tried in his last years to formulate a policy that serves the interest of the Philippines. It so happen that our interest ran afoul with the leading party en rule in US. Irony is that he went to Hawaii for escape – understandably, it is where most Ilocanos are located and are loyal to him. One memory that is indelible in my mind occurred when I was Pres. of the Pangasinan Association in Maryland, Virginia and Wash. DC. It was during this time when that picture was taken. He said to my dismay – take care of the “Pangalatok.” To this day, I cannot understand how a President and a highly educated person can call us that name. It was the common usage then among the uneducated and uninformed – it is hard to dismiss it as that given the stature of the speaker. Now, if a person was an indispensable part of the act that we considered disgrace, should that person be absolved of his participation that he turned his back against the person who was with him during the act? Or should that disgraceful act be attributed to him also. Please note that I am not saying that the Martial Law is disgraceful – sometimes it is necessary to take radical steps to cure a problem, and if Martial law is the solution to an incurable disease, so let it be. .

It will take ages to undo the psyche and damage of how Filipinos vote for their leaders. The intellects, a gold mine are there yet why in the world can we not have a prez that will move the country forward? This gold mine is being absorb by other countries who realizes that Filipinos are among the few that can think and work hard. The Arabos know this, where in the world can you find a teacher, a nurse, a professional back home that works menial jobs in other countries? One reason why our country is still surviving is because of the money being sent home from Filipinos who work like horses in other countries. The church who has always been look upon cannot even do a damn thing, let alone lead their flocks to do the right thing; to use the freedom to vote for someone who really can help and lead the country. Have the Filipinos really gone so complacent, that matters for the progress of the country as a whole will affect and effect them?

Now as a masked man, who would you like to unmask as the possible leader that could lead the country out of the quicksand? Decades ago, there was a man named Claro Recto, a brilliant and sincere to his cause, that is the kind of person that the country needs. Right now, the country is like an ant colony where the worker ants work hard to fatten the Queen Ant whose job is just to produce future queen ants, see a dynasty! you see, the dynasty in the ant colony is similar to the political dynasty in the country, hehehe

I saw him in Union City, meek like a lamb to the slaughterhouse. He's short in stature and no special characteristics, that will attract attention, an ordinary persona taking on the extraordinary.

Alumna, I view myself as very analytic and do not give judgment without proper evaluation. I do not know Enzo personally – but was able to observe his demeanor at the BCHS class 67 meeting in his restaurant. He was inebriated to say the least and what I observed and heard from him removed my doubt on his inability to lead the town. I was totally disappointed; what I heard contradicted what I heard about him. Is that the liquor talking? Then he should not be drinking. Binmaley is a small town – but moving forward in a big way. I know Sammy by reputation only but had not talked to him until February 2nd. I did not introduce myself, but he approached me in a very gentlemanly way. He must have seen me somewhere else to take the time to chat with me. We talked for almost an hour, and I listened to what he had to say. He impressed as a man of deed, and proof to this is the improvement not only on the town proper but of the barangays. Having a car allowed me to visit many barangays and talked to the people. There were programs that are not available in other towns, i.e., providing notebooks, paper to indigent student. He said that he will submit to any investigation if one is filed against him. I do not consider education as a primary criterion for a good leader but it helps. Character is THE CRITERION and you must be able to show to the people a respectable image and an ability to think on your feet. Otherwise you will be eaten alive in the ocean of sharks (politicos).

My point only refers to the people that insist on boycotting the election because of rampant vote buying. I posited that boycotting the election is allowing the people that buys vote to win. Take the bait and leave the hook. I can't imagine that intelligent people would actually stand aside when someone is looking over their shoulder to determine who they vote. Neither you nor your companeros would allow anyone to violate your right to suffrage and to vote in privacy as your conscience dictates. We cannot vote, but we have relatives back home. In most cases, we still influence them.

The effort to convince is a moot point if your logic is far from their grasp. Some just don't get it with the present they have. Use your talents and sense where it can be appreciated and stretch to the max, like here! Vote buying? People are smart, they'll take it and as soon as they get to the end of the line, they'll still vote for Sammy, tried and true. It happened last when people promised the lady their votes, spent milyones only to realized the masa ran and thankful of sharing the wealth. Let's watch history repeat itself.

My last two cents, I promise. SCC Alum hit the nail on the head when he/she presented the list and gave the readers of this board the gamut that are running for the next highest office. Bias? Maybe so, but it’s a list nonetheless. The lack of primary election and this notion of voting for the lesser of two evils are killing democracy in the Philippines if there ever was one. Would Juan vote for the person he believes in and walk away feeling hopeful, or would he vote for one of the lesser evil not wanting his vote to be “nasayang labat”. Or worst, would he even dare go out on Election Day when his choice is already made for him … by the church? Or by the circus they’re calling media?

Marcos ... was a politician. An extremely good one, in his own right. I give him credit for that. The Edsa-I generation felt betrayed by him when he declared martial law against the dictates of the Constitution. But, if we look back to check on its merits, I think, there was order in what the government do business. There was no rampant corruption, crime was controlled on pain of death, and the Pinoy was disciplined. No extra-judicial murders, no motorcycle-fly-by assasinations, and the economy was in good shape. Note: On Floro Crisologo - to answer in advance what you've in mind - it was an in-house cleansing in comparison to what Hitler did to Ernst Roehm. The right thing to do when the house ... is threatened. This' my last post 42day. I'm cooking ... pinapaitan.

You're giving the Church a freehand to get involve in every nook and crany of the Pinoy's wart and all. And to contrabend your hypothesis, that Edsa I, was a brainchild of every Tom, Dick and Harry, the Aquino people, it's all not plausible. I heard Edsa I, was concocted by the church with Sin concurring - at the Santo Domingo church, its birthplace.

I am not in the Philippine politics but I have a 5 cent observation about what is going on. The imperial Rome during the later times of its existence was in turmoil because most of the time the chair of the Emperor was sold to the highest bidder. This is not different from what is going on in the Philippines, with the vote buying scheme of the candidates. I just hope that the political ongoing right now is just a learning curve in preparation for a better tomorrow, not a movement to the decay of the Filipino democracy....If I had to select which route to take between the vote buying scheme of the politicians and the Catholic Church interference to politics, I would rather have the Catholic Church play into politics because the Church has a conscience. The Church has in its universal dogma the betterment of all the common people while the politicians have in their mind the betterment of only the selected few... Democracy is not meant for people who sell their votes or those not capable of making right decisions. In ancient Greece where democracy started, only the citizens capable of making right decisions could vote. That is what the Philippines needs right now, election rights only for those capable of making right decisions. I know that this suggestion would be a dictatorship of the smart people over the majority of not so smart. Well, America started like that when only the capable citizens were able to vote for their representatives, until such time when every citizen could vote because there is enough established safeguards for a good representative government.

If the politicians are as corrupt as people say and the "pinoys" as gullible and as ignorant as some may think, then doesn't this make for a better argument for the church to get involve,... to level the playing field? If an institution sees and lives the inhumanity of it all, wouldn't that institution be compelled to do something about it? Isn't it their responsibility as well to be there for the people morally, as well as for their physical well being? Allow me use your own case in point Zorro, Edsa 1. That was a rally spearheaded by the Aquino people, the media, militants, and any dick and jane who purportedly wanted democracy back. The church was at the forefront with their men in cloth and nuns and I dare say they accomplished what they went there for, people's safety.

The current issue we have at hand is religious participation or influence in political elections. We all know that the church influenced policies as I have noted. However, the church avail itself of the separation of church and state when the government tries to encroach on its program, i.e., application of EEO principle in its hiring and firing practices. The example you give as the encouragement of Cardinal Sin in the EDSA revolution and similar participation of churches globally is known and acknowledged. Where can you find revolution of the masses that is not partly influenced by the faith of the people? In South America, tit for tat revenge again church figure by political figures are common. Archbishop Romero for example was killed for that reason. Fr. Balweg is a prime example in the Philippines. Fr. Horatio De la Costa, S.J. is known to be very influential among the radical students. Fr. Ben Villote also figured with the KM before. This is not something new. The phrase “Give unto Caesar what is due for Caesar and Give unto God what is due for God” is a famous battle cry for the separation of state and church. But, think deeper – If we Christian believe that everything in this world flows from the graces of God – are we not suppose to give it all to him? Even the Muslim follows the dictum that everything comes from Allah! So what is there left except everything to our own Gods. He!he!he! What a Sunday!

I'm forced to disagree in this assertion the Catholic Church didn't poke its nose in politics or allow it. Case in point - Edsa I. To hasten the departure of Macoy, Cardinal Sin ... where in the world you would find a sinner leading the Church ... encouraged his flock to man the barricades including nuns whose earthly vows, is unquestionable devotion to God. It was a show of political muscle, and only time the rats, the hyenas, the vultures had a common cause under the flag of righteousness. The crusades deja vu. But, was it acceptable what Sin did in lieu of the demand of times? Is the biblical dictum, "Give to God what's God's, give to Caesar what's Caesar's" applicable? It became the standard of political reformation though it lacks the confirmation something's changed. And like the crusades of old, it was an exercise in idiocy!

I have to agree that the separation of state and church is most time availed by the church when the State starts encroaching on its parameter. However, the church encroached at will on the State functions by changing policies through its influence on the legislators. The example of this is viewed in the application of equal opportunity laws to the selection and removal of employees of church run programs. EEO process does not apply to churches – numerous cases have been made precedence and the Supreme Court stays away from it. As previously noted, churches invoke the consideration of conscience based on religious dictum to influence the policies and to some extent some churches even avail themselves of the block voting power. One clear observation though, is that the Catholic Church en large, only advises its flock to vote right, without naming candidates. The very obvious example of the Catholic Church practice of not engaging in politics is their policy to defrock any priest that runs for the higher office. In the Philippines, Ed (Amang) Panlileo, Governor of Pampanga was advised that he will be defrocked if he goes to the higher office. Currently, he is on leave of absence. But of course, we know that the Jesuits are known to do this very surreptitiously.

The constitution of the Pinoys, is just an embellishment in the way they practice representative democracy. The laws are written how the government conduct itself, but as of late, it became a meaningless piece of paper to be broken by enterprising Pinoy politicians who saw thru it money can be made. That's how the country evolves since independence. The power of the state has been circumvented by corruption and incompetence, instead of moving forward, the Pinoy went backwards inconsequential of the welfare of the people, which we can see the future is bleak shrouded by different interests trying hard for power and influence. This' where the church comes in. If the constitution's be followed, the church have no business in the political process. The profession of faith - fine! But, what's the church's corrupt administration doing, is to dictate to the Catholic voting public its preference in violation of the constitution - the separation of church and state. You may ask, "Why the church gets away with such infraction"? Because, Congress who impose the laws let it go in return for preferential treatment from the church in how the its flock deliver the votes. That's why Iglesia ni Cristo, El Shaddai, Praise the Lord, and every psuedo-religious entity has the ball going for them free from government interference. It should be understood, these religious organizations in themselves are becoming quasi-dictatorships where the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights, is disregarded in dealing with the stupid and gullible Pinoy.

People with intellect - holier than thou - squeezing the lowly voter, who's not intelligent enough to vote his conscience, but to vote - unless - with a grease money on hand, are making a big mistake in poking their fingers in the cookie jar. The right of suffrage, to the Pinoy voter, is still in its infancy, notwithstanding the fact, it's 64 years in elected democracy. And with the onslaught of unqualified candidates - with money being dangled in the face of the starving Pinoy, the possiblities of corruption are limitless making the Pinoy resign in his own unwanted fate. And this electoral process vitiated to the limit, incompetence isn't transparent until the dirty laundry, is out for the washing. Then, year in, year out, the Pinoy in all his stupidity ... has always been taken for a ride.

Magandang umaga po sa inyong lahat lalo na kay Claudia, sir Bnp at SCC Alumnus. >>> Minsan minsan lang akong mamasyal dito sa SCCMB....Napaka timely ( sorry sa tag-lish tiga bag-iw po kasi ako) ng tema ng usapan ninyo ngayon. Tungkol sa mga kandidato na gustong mamuno sa mahal nating Bayan. Gustong gusto kong magretiro sa Pilipinas ngunit natatakot ako dahil parang kay hirap abutin ang minimithi nating "pagyaman ng bayan" hindi lang karangyaan sa pamumuhay kundi karangyaan sa mahusay na mamumuno. Kailangan nating mamili ng tunay na ehemplo na dapat tularan ng mamamayan. Kailangan ng subok na... kayang bumangon mula sa pagkabaon sa kahirapan man o sa abo...kayang ipatupad ang batas gaya ng malinis na daloy ng trapiko, malinis na pamilihan, malinis na bakuran at ipagbawal ang tamad at hubad na umiinom sa gilid ng kalsada....May isang kandidato na walang ginawa kundi ang purihin at iangat ang ating bayan, kayat dumami ang turista kahit meron noong sars at oakwood mutiny.... ayon sa kanya: >>> " What this country needs is not a change of men But a change In men." Kung magagawa niyang baguhin ang pananaw ng bayan, magtatagumpay siya kung siya ang mamumuno sa Pilipinas. Ang tinutukoy ko ay si Dick Gordon... :)....sige po, hanggang sa muli kong pamamasyal dito. Hindi po ako nangangampanya...nagpapaliwanag lang po ako ng aking nararamdaman.

This is a trivia that I remember as a boy. During the elections in 1954, Sec of Defense Ramon Magsaysay was a candidate for President against President Elpidio Quirino and the following song was played over and over again that it stuck in my mind…….“Everywhere that you will go, there is a bandit or a crook, peace and order was a joke, Till Magsaysay pumasok,,,,,That is why , that is why, You can hear the people cry, Our democracy will die, Kung wala si Magsaysay!”……By the way, it turned out that Magsaysay was helped by the CIA and he won by a landslide….Are the Filipinos better off today than in the 1950s?

Does your theory applies to breast feed babies. I found that some adult never got rid of this longing. I am sure that KB and TP upon sight of a well formed breast long to be breast feed also! None of you guys are exempt to this craving. I dare anyone to prove me wrong on my theory.

Your honor, I respectfully turn down your offer to have gun duel with Cpp. I might be criminally charged for aiding suicide, instead of homicide. With his state of mind, instead of pointing the barrel of his old, rusty Colt model 1895 to me, he might do the opposite. Instead of honorable duel, it might turn to something which we gentlemen abhorrent. Instead, I will challenge him for swimming marathon. Not the fastest swimmer but who can stay longer submerge in the cold water of Balingasay River. This might exorcist some of the unbalanced condition we observed for a long,long time. Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Zorro, if I be challenged, I demand that we have a duel in milk drinking contest and the first guy to avail the bathroom loses. I am positive that CP has lactose intolerance because a lot of adult Filipinos can not digest the lactose from the milk. People with lactose intolerance usually end up in the bathroom soon after they drink milk. People who are descended from the northern Europeans and some tribes of Africa who tended cattle and sheep for milk developed lactose tolerance. Lactose is a sugar in the milk that accounts for the calories in mother’s milk. The enzyme to digest lactose called lactase is switched on just before birth and stays on during weaning but switched off after for most people. But for people descended from the northern Europeans and African tribes who regularly drink milk, the lactase enzyme stays on all their life ( a genetic response to a lifestyle for thousands of years habit of drinking milk). So Zorro, tell CP to bring extra clothes because he needs it, it flows like water. I have lactose tolerance up to a certain point, it only makes my tommy rumble once in a while. I am a regular milk and beer drinker ( root beer , hehehe), it becomes a float when I mixed them together, inside or outside my tommy. Inside my tommy, it makes me feel like a bloated balloon. Another trivia, 75 % of East Asians including Filipinos can not digest alcohol because of the absence of the enzyme that digest alcohol. That is the reason why a lot of Filipinos, Japanese and Koreans turned red face, called red flashers when they take too much alcohol and they get drunk easily.

Now, hear this CP! Before you're invited to Claudia's wedding ... she's demanding satisfaction. Are you up to it? Let me explain. Because you pull your guns too often, the perception, is that you can handle yourself in the field of honour. Duello, as you may not know, is custom-made to honorable men to redress a grievance with a drop of blood. Your uncalled insults against her - friends - can only be approach by this radical form of appeasement. As the man challenged, you have the choice whom you gonna duel and the weapons either a sword or pistols. You can pick among the 3 you always ... insulted ... BnP, Santito and the late comer NTown. I decline Claudia's pick as her champion because I, Zorro, is soooo good at this you are a fodder to my Toledo blade or my pair of Wogdon-Barton dueling pistols. It's not fair at all.

You just don't retire because one morning your boss chewed you out because of your transgressions or sin of ommission. It takes a lot of perseverance and for as long as they don't give you any pink slip just stay on. A quitter will end up homeless and regrets so much without even thinking what the future holds for him if not financially ready to face realities in retirement. In my case I retired after I earned my benefits coupled my sons finishing up their school works which have taken the three off my back for support. Its not really a change in lifestyle that after those many years of work I felt relieved that I don't have to get up early. There's still a lot of work at home if you really want to work as a hobby like carpentry, landscaping, gardening, reading, casino trips, cruising or tours and pestering your wife in jest, reunions with friends and of course welcoming your grandkids for the day's babysitting (not all the time). Retirement in PI is out of the question because we are anchored here by our children and grandchildren and besides most I see in PI are not in par with what we enjoy here as most of you do as well. Forget about the servants and drivers but I am most receptive with Payong Girls as what KB and BNP has been enticing me all along. Retirement is good and enjoyable if you are physically and financially capable. Live fruggaly and laugh most often with friends.

This is my take about retirement, my insight. Wise men said that experience is the best teacher, all the books written were based on experience, either practically or theoretically. I hope the following write up will at least give you, readers, an insight of what retirement is all about. This is my perspective, others might have different views because of our diversity.... Retirement is a new phase of life so before you jump into it, proper planning is necessary because it would involve change in lifestyle and would require developing new friends and interests. We should not think of retirement as withdrawal from life but as an opportunity to experience other stages. Nowadays because of the increased life span in the developed countries, retirees should look forward of perhaps 20 years of active life.... People think that retirees have plenty of time for any activity and they don’t need to plan ahead, but not true, retirement is an entirely new ball game that needs advanced planning. During our working careers, we have a routine to follow, early morning rise and preparing for the long days ahead. All day long, we have adrenalin flowing to keep us active but the main point in our job is the role that we are assigned to play. Our jobs give us the sense of identity, protection and a sense of belonging, in other words, the company provides an umbrella to shield us from the elements….Upon retirement, we will be on our own, with our own time, routine and whatever comes to mind. We need new interest and new experience to maintain our identity and self esteem. One of the benefits of retirement is to do whatever we want, to take advantage of the weather or to be in the internet the whole day if that suits you.... The change that occurs between work and retirement is a sudden occurrence that people must cope with, so it is necessary to prepare for the smooth transition. The first month of retirement is the toughest , you will feel lonely, have feelings that you lost the big umbrella that sheltered you for many years, at the same time you will miss the people and friends that you worked with. The thing that will help you adjust is that you maintain a daily routine. Before going to bed, think of your schedule for the following day, getting up early in the morning and preparing yourself for the day. The important thing to be on guard of is the feeling of uselessness, this often hit people who have had active careers.... For those who are married, retirement can be testing time, to make sure that they are not going under each other’s nerves. Flexibility is needed for both. The couple will have to work on how they want to spend doing things together. After I retired, my wife and I became the best of friends.... Moving to a new place is something that you have to think carefully. Leaving your children, friends and neighbors and familiar surroundings can be disturbing than people realize. You must analyze carefully if going back to the Philippines ( land, climate and people) is appealing to you or is it convenient as you grow older especially with the health care issue.... Most people would notice drop in income. Important is planning years in advance while you still have money on hand. Look and work out priorities, you may have to abandon some luxuries….Now let us analyze the effect of money on retirement. Of course you will be a quiet and contented retiree if you had enough money, I said enough because the amount is relative based on the lifestyle that you were accustomed to. You need only a certain amount of money to enjoy retirement, again based on what you want, and whatever excess money you have would not affect your lifestyle. Because you’ll spend just enough for your needs, the leftover would be given to charity ( your relatives, friends and institutions). Although money makes the world go around, it is not the root of happiness because sometimes it is the root of all evil, it gives you ability to take unnecessary misadventures. But having one in reserve will give security, peace of mind and booster self esteem.

I know - you're ahead of the game. One of your sons got hitched to a raggedy cart ready to traverse the uncharted path of life. It remains to be seen, when the product of that union will fall in your hands, a heavy load, I can figure it will break your back. You'll have to face the music - mi amigo - because with it goes everything you cherished. No more of those cohibas dangling your fingers, no more those shots of Balvenies because getting woozy, is hazardous in handling posssibly dropping your ward. The topdown you loved to drive will be in garage. Your days driving the Smokies are over. No more of those adventures in the unbeaten path, and importantly bad for the economy of those waiting in courses where you play golf, and you can dismissively say' "Your time is yours to keep". By the time we'll meet again - your hair would as white as the snows of the Sierras. The skin of your face rolled like waves of Baybay Lopez. And I hate to hear the day when you'll unknowingly cry to high heavens ... Zorro's right!

Springkling you with Holy water and Pray-Over, until the demons living inside your mouth will disappear...May the spirit of our great forefathers of Bolinao, living in that part of the land,for many hundred moons passed, whose earthly remains found on that same place, will bless you to make you a gentleman and respected by all...Amen.

Calm down, CP. Yessss! You'll get invited to Claudia's momentous event I guarantee that. But, before you footsie-foot in Bolinao, you must first have a breakfast of Swedish pancakes. This recipe is easy to make. I know this favorite because in Rockford, IL, a Swedish town, this is the thing. Here we go: Ingredients ... 4 eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 pinch salt, 2tbspns melted butter. Directions: 1) In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Mix in milk, flour, sugar,salt and melted butter. 2) Preheat a skillet to medium heat. Pour a thi layer of batter, and spread to edges. Cook until top surface appears dry. Cut into 2 or 4 sections and flip with spatula. Cook for 2 minute or golden brown. Roll pancake up (crepes) and serve with lingonberry preserves or dollop of sour cream, sweet cheese, fruit compotes. And voila! Before you can blink your eyes you're sitting on a table .... the cabecera.

The only time - a retiree like me - sit on my behind at peace, happens the very first day of the month, when I open online banking revealing the monies ... for life ... in return for past services rendered. One of the very few accoutrements of my position where braggadocio, is a right, unquestionable and believably so. Some of you will ask in wonderment, why grandkids are a burr in retirement. The way it could be explain, that would be interpreted as hubris - an inconcinnity, is to forget what was done in the past. When I raised my gems, I did it with utmost devotion ... like everybody here does ... working nights to accomodate their playful ways during the day until the time when they learned to make do. Retirement, is mine alone, and nobody, yes nobody has the right to put greasy fingers on it. I don't care even for grandkids - I haven't got 'em yet - to shut off my freedom of movement. But, they knew, if they can't babysit their own, they have no right to bring new lives in this rugged world. I see some of my friends left behind with the grandkids on hand - while the parents go gallivanting around. And the looks in their faces shows the inconsequenciality of the situation, and in resignation will say it's their ... apos-tolic work. Apos-tolic work .... my foot!

The homeless do not have a chance of surviving against the elements around here so they don't venture out this far. The closest shelter is about an hour away. We do have a number of elderlies who either live alone or couples in their 80s and 90s who just need people to check on them every couple of days or so. Summer time is also the time of year when our youths get into all kinds of trouble, so we've made our youth and teen center more accessible and staffed with people who can deal with delinquents. There's also the coastal conservancy where we literally walk up and down the coast picking up trash. And of course the Animal Rescue Team which was started a couple of years ago after all the fire we had up and down the state. This one I'd like to try this summer but hubby is afraid I'll bring home half of them:)

Have you ever tried investing in a burner and a 40-50 cups coffee container? I engaged my boys for coffee distribution to homeless during fall and winter time? For the past few years, I have made arrozcaldo, and it is a seller. Some officemates contribute to the cost, some come and help. The Styrofoam container and spoon cost is very minimal – the payment is amazing, the smiles of the people when they see my truck coming. When I was in the US Army reserves whenever excess in order occurs, I deliver them to the homeless rather than going to the trash. I know some may consider these people as bum – but, I will not judge them until I walked a mile in their shoes. And helping is not for recognition but for the elation you feel when you are able to help – that alone is a priceless reward.

I am under contract for 180 days out of a year, and during those 180 days, it feels like I'm burning the candle at both ends. The beauty of my job however is there is never a dull moment and I have to say, I still get up in the morning and actually look forward to the day ahead. The day it becomes boring is the day I'm hanging up my coat. This isn't to say that I haven't gone home in frustration wanting to wring someone's neck! ____ When May comes around, my list of summer jobs is endless. I can already tell that gardening will be more of a chore this year especially with all the rain we got this winter. Summer is also the time when every cupboard, every drawer, every closet, every window is cleaned. And I do love to read, but I think it'll be indoor starting this summer. (Those darn brown spots are starting to show:) I also used to do volunteer work, but last summer I opted not to do any and it almost felt liberating. Maybe I'll try the animal shelter this year. One thing that is almost always on my list every summer is to learn how to cook. I'm hoping to make an effort this year, hehehe.

Annuity means is the income you derive from your retirement - NOT INTEREST of your money but the payment for past services you have rendered. Military people have annuity that would afford them to live comfortably. Comfortable is a term that is subjective which means people that are used in living within the mean of their income can comfortably retire. When you do not overextend yourself with liability, and know your daily expenses, you do not have to count pennies because the your life style is geared to what you have been used. So before we shoot with insult let us understand well the words we use. I do understand that the word understanding is not a term of comfort some maybe lacking with it.

CP, I don’t have any idea who you are so my idea about you is based on what you wrote in this website. The picture that I see is a guy who is full of male virility that’s why every now and then he loves to titi llate his mind to spit out sexy words. You asked about retirement, how it affects people. I made a poem, custom made for you to describe your retirement, this poem is how you will feel when you retire. The gauge is your own biological clock as a man with excess male virility during his prime. ( A sexy man like you, this is just for fun, I hope you don’t get offended ,,, , by Santito) “Poem- Retirement of CP”.... Your roving eyes are still up the hill, But your party days are out, Because what was then your sex appeal, Has become a water spout..... Your muscle that used to be so strong, Is no longer mean but mellow, The effect of pills is long, long gone, So it is as soft as your pillow..... On rare occasions when on its own, It could still muster its muscle’s strength , But most of the time it’s a full time job, Just to find this little thing..... During your prime it was embarrassing, By the way it would behave, To be looking at you every morning, To watch you do your suave.... With retirement you’re bothered, And it gives you lots of blues, To see this thing so withered, While watching you tie my shoes.....

Retirement as I see it is absolute absence form the work place. It means you absolve yourself either working full time or part time like what BNP is doing. He gets paid setting on his ass. He is telling everybody who believes him that he got all these monies invested and he can live a rich man just collecting interest. He cannot retire because he cannot retire even though how believable he is. He is shooting his mouth. He is show boating.

I do not work 9-5. I come to office at will, work at home attend my meetings that I scheduled fitting my needs. I can arrange a trip to anywhere in USA and fit in a 2 days weekend semi-vacation. I can see my friends in my office - and do have a complete privacy. I can even take an afternoon snoose if I need to. Yet my productivity is at peak. I have different scenery that is offered by working place. I can flirt with that newly divorced lawyer or the admin specialist who are at their peak at age of 35 - but only constrained by the fact that I do not engaged in personal relation in an office atmosphere. Young ladies afraid of commitment but enjoy the company of men of discretion and discernment are around you. I can bring my mountain bike few miles away from me and enjoy the outdoor atmosphere. The truth is that I have tried the semi-retired, but need something to drive me out of the house. I am a trained husband - but not quite domesticated in some aspect. You can only go fishing so much of the time. The beckon of the outside the home ambience is a must for me. Frankly, I can retire - can go to the Philippines yet not spent a penny of my USA income. My annual annuity will sufficiently provide for me and I do not have to count pennies for my expenses. Retirement would be expected for me in 5 years, and I am hoping I would have a grandkid to pass whatever legacy of wisdom I have. I am looking forward to having a grandchild to bring to the Philippines and show them the wonder and beauty of my childhood. When I have that, I surely would retire for a purpose is newly created for me. The enjoyment of a grandkid. For now, retirement is few years more. I can still appreciate that undulating hips, that well formed legs in a gold sandal strap as KB puts it. But when I retire, you will see me backpacking in the woods and commune with nature, relive the time that I can still survive in the wild and find my way just equipped with a compass and two grid lines. Come here at May, and about 5 of us former pathfinder enjoy the Appalachian trail complete with steak and brandy at the end of the day.

Wow! That actually made sense! What if person B who's now traveling with person A off the main highway doesn't really want to be on this trail, and the whole time they're traveling, person B does nothing but complain and ends up ruining the whole trip, what then? Activate the eject button? ____ As far as the peculiar character suffering from a diarrhea of filthy words,... what if it's all an act because he's dying for attention? If he was one of my charge, I'd send him to the Dean's office if he was under age, but if he was an adult in an adult like setting I'd let him be ostracized by his own peers or give him the cold shoulder.

Well, Yols, Concerning your question about changing a person, I think we should analyze why people have arrived to an accepted lifestyle . Early on during the prehistoric time, people were nomadic and they lived as cave men. When settlements were formed, they slowly developed a culture for proper way to live one’s life until they finally attained a culture where rules and behaviors were adapted for their particular society. These rules and behaviors came about after humans gained experiences and knowledge about how to live properly. This rule of propriety is like the main highway of proper living.... Now, lets go to where we are at year 2010 A.D. in America. The main highway of lifestyle is the accepted way of conduct developed by generations of cultural experiences where the great majority use for traveling from Point A at birth to Point B at death. But some minority get off the main highway and travel on their own trail way. Now when person A traveling on the main highway meets person B traveling on her own trail way, then when person A convinces person B to travel back on the main highway, that is not convincing but inviting person B back to where she came from, which is the mainstream society. But if person B convinced person A to travel outside the main highway, then that is a change because person A had never been outside the main highway.... Society developed an accepted norm of conduct based on years of experience of that particular society. Another example is in our website. A peculiar person has a propensity to use colorful obscene words in our culture so we tried to convince him away from his habit, if we were successful, then that is inviting him back to the normal society. We could not just accept a person as he is because could be infectious, especially if he suffers from diarrhea of filthy words, hehehe. We accept people as they are only if they are normal, if they are not normal, then they should be evaluated before making judgment. Then the question would be what is normal?

Whooa, NTown, you have one wild imagination, you'd fit right in to the MBs of musketeers, hehehe. I was literally talking about banana pancakes, the kind that one digests which happens to be a favorite of mine on any given Sunday when it's raining outside and there's not a heck of a lot to do, except ... taxes, no metaphor here. ___ Any accountants in the house? There are supposed to be a lot of changes this year, yep! heavy breathing with my 1040 this afternoon, hahaha.

Terrific!... Metaphor on preparing and eating breakfast?... What a delight...I am seeing the dawn of the coming morning or the start of a long unbearable restless night?...I can't take off my eyes on this very dramatic part of the opera... I can hear the pulsating beats of my heart... And the silent mood of the audience...holding their breathe... The chamber orchestra's conductor pounding hard his baton, and the crescendo of music resonate from each instruments...What a suspence... Where will it leads?...Its still foggy... Will it ends like the conclusion of Gone with the Wind? ...When the hero (Clark Gable) open the door and I can't discern whether the sky outside the room is bright or dark at that time?... Or the expected conclusions of every Walt Disney pictures, they lived happily ever after?...ABANGAN...

I will concede however in saying that I think you’re mellowing out a bit, which is good, because I’ve heard of men AND women who get older and become more,… unreasonable, hehehe. _____ There are only a couple of things that can get me up at break of dawn, especially on a Sunday… banana pancakes: little bit of flour, one egg, pinch of salt, sugar to taste, chunks of over-ripe bananas, and water. There’s an art of eating this savory morning treat as well. Do not use utensil! Tear little portions at a time and dip in honey. Nope, this is not maruya as hubby insists, it is called banana pancakes, and as Jack Johnson says, “wake up slow, hmmm, hmmm”☺ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_BoZ_Qdyl0

Wondering why Santito and I are up early? What's retirement for, anyway? In this state, we're privileged not to be mindful of time. Time becomes a turtle in its slow pace, time will stand still, giving us the opportunity to choose on what we do best, without looking over our shoulders.

Claudia, I have met Zorro and few here, including some posters in other towns. I will keep your invitation in mind. Having had the pleasure of visiting your town as late as 2006; I definitely would take advantage of your offer. If anyone in this board care to come, I have disposal of a car or a van in the Philippines, and travel would be a breeze as I happen to be acquainted with the Philippine driving system. Lately, I have explored the San Juan Cape in La Union, the surf capital of the Philippines. If you are adventurous as I am, Pangasinan and La Union have a lot to offer. Never mind Boracay or Puerto whatever - the beaches of Pangasinan and La Union are devoid of the commercialism and still virgin. The biggest problem in traveling in the Philippines is the availability of satisfactory restroom, especially for ladies. I have solved that in my latest travel. I always have a pack of toilet paper, baby wipes, sanitizing lotion, and bottled water for drinking, two gallons of regular water for washing and an “arinola.” I also have 4 telescoping stick that can support lightweight poncho for privacy reason (for ladies). Fresh young coconut is available anywhere along the highway. Even at the barrios now, have carinderias that sells food. Hot and pre-boiled is the only prerequisite for health reason. I travel 150 kilometers at any point from my base, and will sufficiently cover all of Pangasinan and be home at night time for total comfort. Oh! The other prerequisite – adoptability, be inconspicuous, leave your rolex and diamond rings and do not be squeamish. We also do not have hot showers. And Zorro, last information I have for Cecilia C – is that she has not remarried. She is tall and appropriately framed. Her delicate features are still intact, and age has not bothered her. In our first exchanges, you noted that you are friend of her brother, Pedro.

Everybody has a concept of home.Most of the migrants from the USA who have retired in my hometown have made a plan long before they finally settled .They built comfotable houses ,stay connected with the people ,friends,the lgu ( as philantrophists) socially and charitably engaged, have plenty ideas on tap so with very valuable know-how.One friend of mine a Doc of Med has returned home last December, established a clinic and has mission in his luggage, to educate the townfolks, a FIRST AID PROGRAMM.Even my German brother in law who has come home for some 20 years to our town , has been disseminating his technical know.how,teaches 3x a week in a Technical or Trade School in Manila,come back to town on weekends.Others come back to have a deserving rest after hardwork abroad.Coming back to a place without emotional and personal attatchment but for money or business or a visit only is indeed not coming home.It could be concluded,where your happiness is, it is your home.If comfort, material things are your priorities and of course for some other personal reasons only the USA can offer, then USA is a very good place .Coming back to the Phil,for retirement needs long planning and hard work,most of all building a domain as comfortable to your comfort and taste,stay connected with "land und folk" ( a German adage).You cannot expect more for nothing.One time I visited a house in Tayug, and I was informed,this house is a copy of their house in San Diego.This family come home to their home,the edifice ,to the people,to their friends and relatives...and to extended friends,they´re being invited to and welcomed in many towns .I can see their happy faces,can feel the warmth in the Aura of their prescence.There is a USA- Navy man who settled and devepoed a resort in our prime Beach, the "Treasures of Bolinao".But if you are not welcomed in your own barrio,town,province therefore there is no good reason to come back,no personal and emotional attatchment,then it is clear "you cannot come home anymore".Every intent and purpose of coming back is legitimate reason,differs but legitimate....BTW, BNP the Maryland based town folks of mine built a big mansion on top of a hill at Duclusan( Bolinao) in Poblacion,similar architecture of your Maryland Villa.Let us come for a visit for a cup of coffee and Binungey, sometime.

Rock 'n roll! Let's cut 'n dice, the idea what is home and when not at home. 1) Firstly, Alumna's. My goings every year, is a must ... not personal ... it's business. Reasonable enough to say, I don't have the urge to settle down to rot. Allow me to put it simply; Am like KB 'n BNP in their approach to la dolce vita noncommittal. Well, your fiery desire to go back and spend the days in fog-shrouded Sagada is admirable, but the highway going to the highlands has collapsed, meaning the close-knit family you envisioned scattered to the four winds leaving you with memories in yesterday's - in the sands of time. 2) On BNP, I differed totally from the way of his modus operandi. He go back (not going home) to socialize his life away, to reconnect with painful retrospections he's incapable to accomplished, that even until now he couldn't stop fishing with just a bait and line - the hook is long gone bent and dull. 3)Also, different approach for different strokes. The incapability of anybody to judge what was believed, that going back where it all started and create a new beginning, and the adamance it involves doesn't tell us anything at all why an attitude of forgetfulness preoccupies such individuality. The catch-all can only be described in one word and one word only .... comfort. It's hard to deny the contentment and security we enjoy in America, and the sudden change in environment, is so profound some of us couldn't prolong our stay inasmuch we wanted it so. 4) And Yols misstep in building a house. What's the reason behind it when the usage is only once a year? Going along with the fad of the times, isn't it? Is it an act of defiance, a show of strength in what America has to offer regardless of the consequences?

Most of us probably live an ordinary life or else we would not have time visiting this website. We went to grade school, then to high school and probably college and beyond. Eventually we landed a job and raised a family. When we were in our forties or fifties, we reflected on our experiences in life from youth to our working years and we found some flaws that we wished it did not happen. Had those flaws not happened , we thought our life could have been different , better than what we have. Our experience taught us valuable lessons, lessons that we learned first hand. Now, here is the punch line! The trouble with the lessons we learned in our past is that by the time we reflected on it, we are too old to take advantage of the lessons learned, hehehe. These lessons belong to our descendants who should take advantage of our wisdom if we could inculcate to them these lessons in life.

The past is an excellent point to base what you do in the future. If you encounter failures in the past you would move heaven and earth not to go back to that era of uncertainty,emptinesss and failures. That certainly gives you an excellent reason to work hard to provide yourself you missed in the past. A person who doesn't learn lessons from past failures is doomed to failures most of the time. Just all of us here in this forum I am sure that at one time in the past we encountered some unpleasant memories to which we abhor and tried everything to avoid from happening again. As an example most of us who left our homeland poor take advantage of all opportunities at hand giving us unshakable courage to work hard to live better and healthier lives. I do remember my past as my reference point.

it's is impossible to right a wrong from the past. we may attempt to correct it; it wouldn't be the same as it is of different time and different place. each of us has regrets. regrets we wish we did it right the first time. the experience taught us how to react 'properly' hoping we will do it right the next time around. however, it is not the same as the first time. 'yung sino man hindi marunong lumingon sa pinangalingan ay hindi makakarating sa patutunguhan' i was told a while back. i have an answer to this very old saying. those who keep on looking back, will never see whats is coming. worst, you might miss the present by dwelling on past or present.

Who said yesterday is full of misgivings. On the contrary most posters memories of yesterday were all full of happiness. Assuming arguendo that painful memories may accompanied their growing up; those painful memories were pale compared to the joy and excitement that each of us experienced. The pain will be gone but the pleasure lingers in the mind. It is with this understanding that each of us recalls vividly our youth and past that each of us still considers Pangasinan heaven even in our momentary visits. Stronger mind usually create positive lesson for each bad experience that we endure. It is in that ability that we recreate ourselves so that we can avoid the same pitfalls. If we have to forever remember the pain and wallow in it, we will be living in hell forever. For all we know, we could have our own contributions to those pains or probably were our own doing.

Where is home for you? If one doesn't consider Pilipinas home, then why bother to go back on your yearly sojourn? I beg to differ, there are few expats who would go home for good in a heartbeat; if given the chance. I kid myself NOT when I say, Pilipinas is where I want to be home and with God's speed; I will be there! I never was an expat, I just consider myself lucky to have afforded to live in the US, Europe, and Thailand. I see it this way, we are still attached to our homeland regardless of how we justify, rationale our nostalgia......

Pangasinan, is home, is where the heart is? You all must be kidding yourselves. To cling to yesterday, and live in its misgivings, is not only laughable, but ludicrous. Where is the self-respect when you're lying all along - that what you'll find in the old stomping grounds still caters to your taste? When expats left the country and scattered all over the world to - fish - in the melodrama of life, never to look back is the norm. Where was Santayana gone wrong?

Home is where one is comfortable with, with their loved ones beside them. Ever noticed how we make ourselves try to be and feel at home when we visit a place esp. where we sleep and eat? We tend to make it home for the time being. It is a state of the mind. I haven't been in a place longer than 5 years. In each and every place, I made it home for my family. Home to me is the beach in Baybay Lopez and the mountains of Cordilleras where one day I'll finally be rooted...

Could we go home again? A dear friend once said his home is where he would give up his bed when his friends visit and where his daughter’s differing heights are etched on the doorways. That home is La Union, but when asked where he’s from, he’d quickly answer Pangasinan where his parents are from. I have always thought of home as a state of being, but as I got older and began to search for my own mohican, I learned there has to be more to it than that. My earliest memories of growing up is in a little barrio where I played with chickens under the house, where I went to school and had my “bakuna” stabbed by another classmate, where stories from another realm were told by the elders, and where my parents built their home. Thirty-odd years have passed since the last of my family left our little barrio, the house that my father built is long gone, and the ancestral land sits barren beckoning to be occupied once again. ___ Like AG, I’ve built a new home - my state of being with my new family of twenty-three years. Transplants as we may seem to this new home as well as the old home, still… new roots and old roots continue to branch out… hoping that someday it’ll dig itself deeper unto the ground.

Like you Claudia, I grew up in an idyllic setting, a small town where life was simple as could be. I had good time in grade school and high school, that was when I created in my mind an island that I would someday come back to retire. The island composed of the home where I grew up with my parents, the neighborhood and the whole town where I roamed around as a youth. After high school, I moved on to college and to a job but I always went back to my home, the island in my mind. Eventually I emigrated and I could only physically visit my home on rare occasions but in my mind, I was always there. When I started to have my own family, I started to have a divided love affair between my old home and a new home. But I was still sentimental about my old home because my roots and my parents were still around , I could still see them in my mind. When my parents passed away, I felt like the top root of the tree died and only the secondary roots kept my island alive. With time, my new home started to grow its own top root, and I feel that this new home could weather the storm because of its proximity to my care. Nowadays, I realized that home is in my mind, the place where I find peace and comfort within myself....First of all, we belong to ourselves. We built an island within ourselves which we carry to places, this is where we always come back when we want to have peace or when we are confronted with problems. So the physical location of the home is not permanent, it is the place where we can always go back, where we can have the peace and security and comfort that we are seeking. …There is a saying that we can not go back to your hometown anymore once we left. I believe it is right because I noticed it when I went back the last time I visited my hometown. This is my reflection about my hometown, “ Years have piled up on my hometown, The place and the people are not the same, I can’t go back to where it was, But fond memories can bring back my hometown again”. That’s why folks, we always like to visit pangasinan.org….

Some of us never find home and spend their lifetime looking for a home.Move from here to there,from one companionship and relationship to another,restless!It is where you feel home,a place a person ,a family.But what is " feel of home? I guess everyone defines it her /his own peculiar way.I was born in an island,spent my early childhood there ,under the mango trees, Siniguelas,mangroves.It is wehere I enjoyed climbing my favourite trees like the Nipa,the mangroves ,bayabas.It is where my ancestral home had existed,the fish pens,the seashore ,the spring we called Subor where we kids splanshed for our morning bathe.Left that home for the advantage of good education at poblacion Migrated to Germany after high School,continued my higher education here,got married,raised my two children here in European culture, now for almost 40 long years.But I am coming home...home for me is where my heart feel the warmth of the morning and the cool breeze in the evening,where my father comes laughing with our old jokes,our own language,the smell of our local food,where my friends come by and where he is..."the one"!

How does one define his/her locality is the question asked by Yols. This question is synonymous to the question of what do you consider home, and therefore identified yourself as from there. I was born and raised in San Carlos, and considered it home or my locality. In the same token I frequent Binmaley and considered it my second abode. Despite all of these, my level of comfort is my place in USA and uses it as my residence of record. I never consider any part of Manila my home although I spent more than 10 years and it was where I developed into adulthood. One writer said that the concept of home is in your mind only – meaning a place that exist in your mind.

You are on point again P. Damaso, “the threshold of happiness is a moving target.” I our quest whether romantic love or true passion, we must risk the pain of humiliation of rejection and defeat. However, most reached for that is easily attainable. To salvage one’s self-respect in this process, we cynically denied the existence of the true love whose quest we abandoned. We labeled it “realism” rather than fear of failure. This quick fix is not acceptable but, we engage in self deception of defining the counterfeit pleasure as the real thing. I have long considered life is a series of journey of places and heart – you settle down to a place you call home where you rest your body and emotion. However, some of us may find this discomforting and still continue the journey only to find out that home is really where he was in the beginning. The complication to this comes in the form of limited caring – where one views it as an affront to the relationship and vindictively settles the score without giving a chance of breathing new life in the relationship. For every test that you overcome strengthen the character – for every test a marriage overcomes strengthen the marriage. If placed in the position of the forgiving spouse, we should let true love exist independently of the other. A true loving partner will have the love that sustains both of them, and when one fails, the stronger love prevail and carry on the load. And as a Christian, how many times should one forgive? It is 7x7x7x7 which means forgiving forever.

Since life on this earth is a privilege, then it is a privilege to be privileged a privileged life of a higher member of the animal kingdom. One such privilege is the pleasure to enjoy the pleasure provided by Mother Earth. Everyday, we should aspire to enjoy ourselves, whether you are a millionaire or a beggar....Believe me, there are a lot of wealthy people who are the most unhappy people, therefore fortune is not a prerequisite of happiness, that to enjoy life is an inner feeling that you are deserving to enjoy the pleasure that is available within your reach. ... Our goals in life as the threshold of happiness is a moving target, that the target depends on our ability to know what we are capable of achieving and we would be contented with what we could achieve....I sometimes watched the show, TFC Wowowe, and I learned the other side of life that I was not exposed to. There are very poor people, who find fun just to be part of the show and take a glance at the host and hostesses as a pleasure beyond their imagination. So fulfillment and satisfaction are in different scales for different people, but the bottom line is to find fun and enjoyment wherever you heart desires....But we should be aware that having fun and being happy is within ourselves and it exists in our mind, that nobody can make you happy with your cooperation, therefore it is our privilege to find our fun wherever we can find it…..And for Claudia, she will find enjoyment by enjoying the pleasure of the company of her future hubby, for Hidalgo, he will travel around the world by himself testing the waters of Rubicon, to be or not to be, and for you saintly Padre Pio, I know how much you loved to tend beautiful gardens, that it is a hobby that gives you fun and enjoyment because you like to admire, touch and smell beautiful flowers especially those newly bloomed daisies which are bountiful in the Philippines. So I’d say that happiness is indeed like a beauty which is in the eyes of the beholder.

Father Damaso, my thoughts exactly. Fun is not the monopoly of younger people, but the old as well. We have the experiences that can sooth an ailing heart; we have the knowhow that the younger folks do not have. They may have the energy, but we have the wealth not only financially but of mind to nurture a young mind. Above all, we have what most wants, especially in this modern word; the ability to provide a noncommittal relationship; knowing that an extended commitment will be hazardous to our health. Meaning, our wives if they know will take you to the cleaners. The experience to keep everything under your belt is your expertise (not mine). Otherwise, you will not be Father Damaso for nothing.

Life is a privilege on this earth and we should live it despite the barriers that are on the way. When younger people reach fifty, they get depressed but the “die is cast”, there is no turning back. Life at 50 is not the same as life at 20 because older people are confronted with different sorts of challenges. When a person is older, she/he can’t run around like a kid but older people have qualities that younger people don’t have and for oldies, each day is a new beginning../..Human beings, being product of evolution, came about through the natural reaction to the environment, and from this reaction came attributes that produce, sustain and maintain the quality of life; in life we need love, security, recognition, happiness and involvement, these factors were part of the environment when humans evolved into their present form. … All inhabitants on this earth are products and by products of evolution and as long as we live, we are subservient to attributes that I mentioned. Old people fall in love, get married, have fun, like the security because these are intrinsic behaviors that come like instinct to us. When we met other people that we were attracted to, not necessarily sexual but for the attributes that I mentioned, it was a manifestation of behavior that came from evolution, which is to perpetuate the human specie….If and when our dearest Claudia gets married as an April bride, I congratulate her because she is truly a robust human being, practicing what Nature intended her role to be, to be happy, be loved, be secured, be involved, and most of all have fun late in life. Fun is not the monopoly of the young, the difference is that the young can have fun and be stupid but older people have the benefit of experience and could recognize a mistake when they make it again….Claudia, my best wishes for you and your future partner in evolution. …Sincerely, just my thoughts from P Damaso.

Fishing - as it should be:) My Dad did a lot of fishing while I was growing up, and I tagged along as often as I could. I don't know why, but as a young teen, I would rather go fishing than clean the house or learn how to cook. We frequented the piers at Pismo and at San Luis, usually on Sundays after church. I didn't mind threading those little hooks with worms or anchovies, but I did mind maneuvering those fishes out of those hooks after catching them. There's something not quite right about looking at those bugled eyes and dropping them in buckets full of water guaranteeing them death that won't come soon enough. I could sit for hours not minding the sun beating down my skin while reading my Harlequin books:) He also showed me how to cast off the surfs of Morro Bay where white perch usually migrate in the winter and how to use nets off Oso Flaco Lake for smelts in the summer. _____ Decades later, I came back to live in this beautiful area again and I thought fishing was one sport I could connect with, but it didn't happen. It wasn't for the lack of trying though. On our first summer, hubby bought all the necessary tools and accoutrement, even a year's worth of license, and off we went to the nearest pier. We sat and waited, and waited some more, but not a single bite! I was so disappointed and disgusted at myself for not being able to enjoy it anymore that I never went back. Nowadays, I do all my fishing off the docks when the fishing boats come in or at the nearest fish market:)

Mr.Cp, I am very, very sorry and I beg your pardon because I misspoke. Because of my intense desire to help you cleanse the impurities of words that you spit out, the words that you are throwing out in public ( mind you, you can say those words in your private moments because nobody gets violated), I thought about the holy water to wash away those impure words. But you said gargling is a sacrilege so here is my next suggestion. Because the tongue, its movements and its twist forms the words, it is probably appropriate to domesticate the tongue. Here is my suggestion if you don‘t mind, that next time you go on your pious Sunday service, when you enter the church, deep your finger on the holy water as you normally do and then stick the tip of your tongue to the water so it would be blest. In so doing, it might render your tongue docile because it was blest. I am very sorry for hurting your most cherished belief about gargling. Have a very nice day, Mr. CP. May you always be in good health, and good luck! This is my last message to you. I just hope you are not mad at me, but believe me, I just want to help.

Nicely put Yols! From all the message boards in pangasinan.org one will find SCCMB really interesting. It is how a subject is discussed without any malice, pretense from the regular posters. It is also more of learning from each other and giving respect to what the discussion is all about. I've followed these great minds, always willing to learn. True, there are some posters who would put their 2 cents foul mouth, deranged opinions but it has always been disregarded with the knowledge that you cannot argue with a fool and really to know what arguments one has to pick---to go on or NOT!! I see new IPs and look forward to good arguments, history, bios, observations etc; it's always refreshing to read what one is thinking and pick it it to pieces, followed by others, ready and armed (hahaha).

The beauty of internet friendships is just like what forrest gump said “you never know what you're gonna get.” For a couple of years and miles apart, we've huddled in front of our computer and have had the pleasure of peeling layers and layers of skin exposing a little bit of ourselves as well as others. We don't demand too much from anyone, nor do we expect too much. A few will go out of their way to be as asinine as can be to prove a point while others speak in double entendre. Few will post unfinished thoughts but never to finish anyone's thoughts. Posters come and go, but few have staked their foothold, not stifling, not foreboding, and certainly not dominating. Why SCCMB? It could have been any other MB or could it? To me, the lure was in how quickly a simple thought can go in so many directions and that feeling of adrenalin when one actually connects the dots without upstaging anyone but by simply... opening the minds. There are times when banterings become personal attacks, but more often than not, readers are treated to beautiful discussions veiled in satiric, humorous thoughts and once in a while one finds “gold buried in the foibles of our hearts”. ____ BNP, welcome back,... you're fishing, hehehe.

A friend asked a favor if I can help revisit Basista, a place she spent her childhood. She has not been there since she left 30 years ago. She left at age 18 and settled in Daly City upon marrying a Coast Guard. Her husband passed away 5 years ago, and had been wanting to visit Philippines. I warned her that she may not know anyone there, her only child, a daughter advised her against it. Many had changed. The open field that was once before were now crowded with houses back to back. The road where I saw her first was already filled with concrete. We stopped by her uncle’s place only to be meet by cousins who are now strangers to her. Home was no longer there, it has changed and the beauty of the field that was there no longer existed. Undoubtedly, she was broken hearted. I brought her to a familiar place that she had been few times in her youth. It was the only thing that has not changed through the ages. She remembered it as soon as I pulled into the front. I parked infront as motioned by the Barangay Tanod. We walked up, and to her delight, the place was still the same as it was 30 year ago. It is still the same with few crowding in the front. Gone are the sineguelas vendors and the puto vendors were not there yet, as we arrived few minutes before the first mass at 6:00 am. I let her settled several pews infront of me so as not to disturb her solemnity. She walked backed of the church, and remembered the steps. Few improvements as, the CR is 10 years old now maybe. It is the Manaog Church – that stood through the years to welcome the likes of her and provide the same atmosphere as it was before. Few days after that, I dropped her at the airport for her flight back. She held my hand and told me that she found gold buried in the foibles of my heart.

Please go to the wash room and gargle with the holy water. I believe that you would be relieved of the foul words that inhabit your mouth. As for your mind, please go to confession to Padre Pio, he would be of utmost assistance to a nice fellow like you. May the good Lord guide and bless you!

Next time you go to your health care provider, ask him to put in order your different personalities that are out of order, so that your personality disorder, being HISTRIONIC by using medical term, deviates from our cultural norms and needs to be straightened. I asked the squirrels and chimp monks that abound in my yard and their conscientious reply was that you have a histrionic personality.

Thanks for the compliment. I never consider losing a good argument to a better opponent a LOSE but an opportunity to gain knowledge. Show me a person who professes to know everything and I will show you a person that barely knows anything. One of the best lessons I learn in life was not in the university classroom, but by my Aikido teacher. He ingrained in us, to use the strength of your opponent to your advantage. Likewise, this is equally applicable in mental pugilism. I have to give you credit though for having the knack to remember past postings. Thus, I usually check my consistency knowing that you are lurking around. He!he!he!.

The first time I came to know of BNP was about 2 or 3 years ago on this message board. If my memory serves right, he was discussing about a "game" he and his buddies used to do. In essence, it was to know who would be the first to get a recuerdo from the prettiest girl on their trip home from college. It most-probably be at the Pantranco or Villa Rey station from manila going back to San Carlos. Invariably, BNP wins. He is undoubtedly a formidable opponent as far as dealing with the fairer sex is concerned. Then I noticed him at the Binmaley message board. One thing nice about him is that he does not mind being upstaged by anybody who has a better argument at that time. In other words, he is a "keeper".

Fishing ..... is a very delicate hobby to muster. It must be done with kids glove not to spook the intended target. And ice fishing, with just a hole carved in a frozen lake, takes patience and the indurance on a waiting game, that will take hours before you can release the spear - not so sure if you can bag it. But, I know, that you're a master in this hide 'n seek, that even BNP, is not up to par. Did BNP know you do excellent fishing with your bare hands?

Some people give generous tips to the payong girls – some express their appreciation for the services in a like manner. A friend went home for a visit and on his first day in country, he went shopping for clothes and items at the SM store in Las Pinas for his wife. He was looking at some RTW, a young sales lady approached him and offer if she could be of assistance. My friend thanked her and keeps looking. He found a dress elegantly designed, a simple cut fit for Sunday dinner, a dress with black and white combination. He looked at the price and was impressed that it is only P1850.00 He eyed another saleslady, a 5’4” petite woman size 8 and politely asked her if her manager would allow her to try a dress for him, as she is of the same size as his wife. The young lady said she is the assistant manager and will do it for her. When she came out of the fitting room, my friend was very delighted as the dress was perfect for her; he asked her to wrap two dresses of the same kind. The woman asked why two – and my friend responded that the other one is for her and his way of thanking her for the effort. The woman declined and stated that it was her job. They moved to the “kultura” department and were looking for accessories. The woman suggested a white native bag with black leather design; truly, my friend thanked her again for saving him lots of time and perhaps the error of not knowing the right one. My friend eyed a cultured pearl, necklace, earring and bracelet, and said that it would match the outfit which the young lady readily agreed. She made her try one and she was truly amazing with the cultured pearl. The price is no more than P895.00. This time my friend took two and brought the whole purchase to the cashier. She asked the cashier to ring and bag the second necklace ensemble separately. After paying, my friend insisted the necklace to the young lady who this time was not able to resist. He explained to the young lady that he was really delighted and grateful of the time she spent with him shopping for his wife, and apologizing to her for the impoliteness of his demands. He said that he will truly feel assured that the young lady was not slighted if she would accompany an old man at a dinner. The young lady assured now of the good intention of the man, agreed for a dinner. The time spent for shopping was couple of hours; the tip to the young lady was the P895.00 pearl necklace. The young lady was a single mother with a young daughter being raised by her parents in the province. She had a bachelor’s degree, 5’4” 120lbs and size 8. She also have a long legged that will surpass KB’s scrutiny with flying color. And I thought shopping was such boredom! My friend’s thoughtfulness for the wife is proven by making her first in his list.

I am not from Bolinao, but long time ago, the serenity and the ever moist shoreline of Bolinao, its fertile vegetation, the undulating hills and curving roads that leads to Bolinao caught my fancy long time ago. In order for me to fully immerse into the culture and the way of Bolinao women, I thought I owe them the courtesy to learn what is dear to their heart - the language they learn through their adulation. I also happen to speak Pampangueno, Ilocano and Visayan dialect as well as Tagalog in the same manner that I learn Binubolinao. There is nothing sweeter to a man's ear other than the sweet sound of birth tongue emitted by a woman's lips in full enjoyment of the ecstasy whispered to your ear in complete privacy.

Fishing in the ocean is exactly means what Yols intended. Not knowing the kind and quality of fish you catch. The winnowing or selection process comes after you catch the fish – letting go what you do not want. Likewise, engaging someone in life involves the same process as in fishing and only when you have determined the quality of the person – you settle down or engage him/her in a longer relationship. You will not know the character of a person until you stayed together or been for a long time together. I do not believe in getting married or settling down with the first that catches your attention. The process is reciprocative – meaning it is done on both sides. You draw closer or farther away from each other. You can fall in love and fall out of love. There is no certainty or assurance – this is where the understanding comes in. Neither control nor guilt should bind one from each other. It is the willingness to sacrifice and work for a common goal that draws people together. So I gather that Yols had engaged in this process before she decided to give Mr. Right the key to heaven. Or sometimes, heaven must be explored to really know whether you fit right in there. We should not fault anyone who exercise due care in this process and sometimes, the process takes a lifetime. He!he!he!he!

Message

Letter writing is a dying art. When I first came to America many decades ago, my only means of communication with my relatives in the Philippines was through letter writing. I kept all the letters of my father up to three weeks before he died. I treasure these letters and sometimes I enjoy reading them again and again during my idle time. With the advent of the cell phones and the email, letter writing became old fashion to some folks, but in a letter, the writer took time to write them and to think deliberately about what he was writing, so what he wrote is what he meant. Letters provide a way to find out the mindset of a person and his thought process. The following is an example of a Valentine letter during my era...... February 14,,, My dearest Maria,,,,, Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and what a wonderful day it had been for me. While I waited at the receiving room of your dormitory, I saw you in the corridor coming towards me and my hands started to sweat, I was excited to see you so I could give the three roses that I kept hidden in my school bag. Those three flowers symbolize the words “I love you” which is the only thing that I could offer right now.... I have to tell you that I have no big things in life and what I have are trivial. But I promise you a future, a promise that I would work hard so that I would be worthy of your love. I would like you to be proud of me and it would hurt me if I would see you regret having loved me. Last evening, while we were dinning at the cafeteria, you caught me starring at you, but then you gave me a smile. I saw how beautiful you were with that smile and I felt so lucky for having you in my life. Saying goodbye last evening was hard for me to bear, I followed you with my eyes until you disappeared by the door. All the while on my way home in the bus, I thought about you, that someday you will be my bride and would be the mother of my children. It feels good to dream that someday, you and I would be spending the rest of my lives together.... Last night when I was about to go to bed, I thought about you again and what you are to me. Meeting you three months ago during the Woman’s Club monthly social was a stroke of a luck and I thank very much your teacher for requiring you to attend . Indeed, my world was turned around that night, I am intrinsically shy but seeing you in a blue dress captivated my eyes that I had to meet you before others could do it.... The last several months, I also realized that I have to find my future in this wide world and I will not rest until I find our destiny. For your part, I appreciate very much your being kind and generous and I love you for loving me despite my plainness and obscurity. In fact, loving me for what I am makes me love you more because I feel your trueness and sincerity.... I told you how much I love you, how much I miss you when we are apart, but do you know what really counts? It is that certain feeling, a feeling that I had never felt before towards any other girl. So I close this letter with the thought that you know how much you mean to me, that my love began when we first met and had our first dance.... With all my love, Sancho

That would be no problem. I can tell Yols where to go if she really wants to. The closest you can get something like a coelacanth is about 60 miles north of my place. As a matter of fact, the open season just started at lake winnebago. However, you have to fish under ice,and it is for sturgeons. They are big and ugly to most folks. They taste good though reportedly. Of course it is the roe that attracts some fancy people. Oh, did I tell you that fishing is limited to the use of spears?

“Often the heart of the youth had burned and yearned to embrace him, Often his lips had essayed to speak, imploring for pardon; All the old friendship came back, with its tender and grateful emotions; But his pride overmastered the nobler nature within him,-- Pride, and the sense of his wrong, and the burning fire of the insult. So he beheld his friend departing in anger, but spake not, Saw him go forth to danger, perhaps to death, and he spake not!

Love held in check is sacred ... can't be shouted to the world. It must resist the temptation of exposition or the allure of it all, is lost. It can be admitted, that such overwhelming feeling unrealeased hurts, it hurts when the .... thought .... is hampered by things couldn't be brought under control. The test lies on the woman, if she has the love to open up ... Impossibble? No! Came to mind, the flirtations of John Alden. He was the FTD messenger of Miles Standish to Priscilla. She got so mad, that in exasperation blurted out, "Why can't you speak for yourself, John"....... On this issue, of marrying the wrong person happens like falling snow in winter time. It's inevitable. Losing the first option will take you to ride the storm, and get hitched to the most available he/she within reach. Yes, you will have children with her/him ..... but, a huge gap in what you feel ... making you, a prisoner in your own doing. If that love burns like Dante's, the chance of mentioning her/his name in your sleep is plausible. That's why you can hear people in subtlety remorseful on what they had done. That's why remembrance of distant past - is the outlet of an exanimate relationships exacerbating a bond already in the brink ........ Nonetheless, this idea of fools falling in love is akin to a family doctor doing a surgical procedure. Believable, but untrue. Fools don't fall in love, they rushed in where Mephisto fear to thread. Unbeknownst to them .... there's no light at the end of the tunnel.

Married to a wrong woman.No,not AG.She is the perfect woman he got married to,have a wonderful son together.Have you heard of falling in and falling out of love?like BNP wrote down there,falling in love in our youth is a very important part of our wellbeing,our growing emotionally,mentally and physically.One must be lucky to have loved at all,unhappy and woe to the one who have not loved.Even the "crush" stories of our youth are essential feelings to mold us to maturity.The "Panakip Butas" theory is unjust and unfair.There is certainly the so called "Love of my Life",but when failed there is certainly a new beginning.Falling in love and falling out of love is a sign of maturity.Even fools have fallen in love! .....and fallen out of love!Some of us have made mistakes to get married to the one they do not love and end up with painful break-ups,physical and emotional tortures and abuses,the worst is the fact that he can never fall in love again but do so as if.There are some who pretend and live a lie.When love has gone,respect is a must and friendship is good possible.

The most asked question in life is “What if.” What happens if I mustered the strength to do what I wish to do, to say what I wish to say, to express my desires and let the object of my attention know my intentions. I can understand some who will stay in silence and suffer, for fear of risking humiliation and defeat. Oftentimes, without taking the risk, we satisfy our demanding ego with what is attainable and sacrifice our true intent and desire. When one desires the joy of love and the pleasure of loving, or desires a certain goal in life, one must take the risk of failure and humiliation. For it is better to try to reach your goal or desire rather than surrendering to the fear of failure. Glory is sometimes accompanied by pain. Loving in silence is painful as loving without reciprocation. However, one may say that he or she has sufficient love for both of them, that reciprocation in the beginning may not be necessary. However, to enjoy that love without reciprocation, it must be expressed and felt by the other party, for there is also joy in sacrifice as one may find happiness by observing the object of affection happy. That is the unselfish love that most of us are not capable of giving. When I met my wife, without reservation I expressed to her my pristine intention – and promised her that regardless of her response, I will love and respect her for true love is independent and exists on its own – and heaven waits if reciprocated. In the same token, love must not be restrictive and suffocating and must allow growth. Constraint is imposed by the strength of the love and not by fear or guilt. Love is essential to our being and existence, yet we understand very little of it. Thus if one keeps it to oneself, he/she deprives himself of the true meaning of love. Love overflows, and must be shared with the one you love – so how can you keep it to yourself?

Wow! Annie, your last post gave me goose bumps. I met John Denver by chance the weekend before he died from that plane crash. Hubby used to put together the AT&T pro-am golf invitational magazine and once in a while he’d get a VIP invite from one of their sponsors. I decided to go with hubby that year and walked behind Andy Garcia, my ohhh-la-la-boyfriend-to-be! Halfway through, my daughter got tired and we took refuge in one of the tents. She fell asleep on one of the sofa and I sat to watch the tournament from one of the TVs they had. Mr. Denver sat next to us and offered me a plate of food. I politely declined and we started a conversation on kids and families. He was very unassuming, polite, and as accommodating as can be. At the end of the day, hubby came and found me just yackety-yakking with this guy and he whispered to my ear to ask if I knew who I was talking to. I said of course and introduced the two! Within forty-eight hours of that meeting, we heard his plane crashed! I had never gone back to watch that tournament… it’s happening right now in fact.

Secret loves... I don't get it either. I've always been under the impression that even if you just let the eyes do the talking, that the other party "just knows it" and in turn reciprocates.

Believe it or not, the eyes are the most effective to communicate .... in silence. The intensity varies how the looks are manifested It could be understood as flirting .... an expression of feeling without solemn intent. It has been misinterpreted, a meaningless form of actuation not to be taken seriously .... but flirting shouldn't be assumed as indifference because flirting at most, is the language of the heart.

Yeah,it ends in nothing but in a flirt or a sort of it,futile,no positive result,only the ligaw tingin was recorded and saved in the memory of my computerlike mind..But we must not forget that non-verbal communication in many cases is also effective in transmitting messages.In the world of the deaf and mute, in cases of Aphasy,Brocka and Wernicke syndroms after a brain insult,lasion/damage of the left brain,the rehabilitative medicine is gaining progress.The logopady,the tactile stimulation,basale stimulation and many other methods are common practice today.The No.one of the activity of daily living is Communication. Non-verbal communication has found its importance as the verbal.Speaking about love,as Hidalgo wanted to know,it could end fatally but could also end happily.In my own life story, I had a suitor at young age of 16 and his glances had melted my young heart but has never told me instead let others tell me,sent some emissary of love whispers.And so nothing happened. When I left the country after High School ,we lost contact. After 40 years...he learned the language,we talk everyday ,is now full of courage to profess his feelings,has been with his entourage to my father,in short I am getting married to this guy in a few weeks,in April 2010.Funny, I am an old lady of late fifties and my father is turning 87 this year,still we observe the tradition of asking for the hand of a daughter,a bride, he he he. Isn´t that curious?

I believe love can be express in silence. Let us take the animal kingdom for example. Certain animal, when a female is ready to mate or make love, they have the ability to excrete scents that a male could not resist. After locating the female that is giving off the scents, the male immediately mate or make love with the female. In human, on the other hand, they invented several perfumes to help both sexes attract one another that will end up to love making. This is just my opinion.

“ Ligaw Tingin” that was how I was in high school and nothing happened. Of course, you can express your love in silence, it is a clever way to avoid commitment because you are not obligated if a woman loved you, no words of love came out of your mouth. You can always claim that she misunderstood your intentions. Yes, Hidalgo, it is a sleek and clever way to manipulate women, hehehe.

Let us analyze the concept of why there need to an attraction, being beautiful based on one’s own perception. I think the reason is plain and simple. Nature made the living creatures ( animal kingdom) on this earth to be attracted to an opposite sex for continuity of the specie. When we consider the birds, the male has beautiful plumage than the female for attraction. When a woman is beautiful in the eyes of a beholder, it is nature’s way to advertise that the woman is ripe for the propagation of the specie. Because we can not live forever, a woman is given only certain years to fulfill her role in the continuity of the human specie and during that period, she is considered beautiful. Why only certain years, not all her life? It is nature’s way to control the population. You see, evolution always consider the environment in order not to tip the balance. There is a law in science that states that on earth, there is a fixed amount of mass and energy, so some must die in order for some to be born.

Beauty is seen when I stopped in my tracks paralyzed, and words won't form in my mouth tongue-tied, and my breath is taken away .... Inconsequential of what lies beneath that captivating wonders of a Da Vinci .... Beauty, is what could launch a thousand ships - give up an empire - write a letter full of love unmindful of the coming debacle - go against the will of God - and of that Hamilton woman ....

Beauty in terms of PHYSICAL characteristics or figure of a person is for everyone to decide. Even if a person is skinny, obese or whatever, they are still beautiful. What I am trying to say is, we all have our own preferences. I might choose a skinny one to be beautiful, but to others, a slightly obese is their choice. Now, this reminds me of a song lyric that says, IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY FOR YOUR LIFE. GET AN UGLY GIRL TO BE YOUR WIFE.

Orca asked when would you know you fat. I have seen plump ladies still desirous. What counts is not your weight but the attraction you have for each other. One may call you fat, your partner may consider that lots to love and plenty to hold. Weight is not the standard of beauty as that may change. Take for example the early times, when fat was considered beautiful. Have you seen the painting in the 15th through 18th century where full sizes women were considered the standard of beauty? I have seen heavy pregnant lady that are still captivating. Their fullness announces their vitality and their full faces are full with worldly desire. Their bossoms abound with energy. Even the later years, you will not consider flat chested skinny women beautiful. Likewise, I have seen ladies in their 40sh still captivating and worldly. Girls may have the instant worldly captivating physique coupled by their innocence would be sought by scrupulous men – but to me, this are liabilities and not an enchantment for relationship. I would rather sin with a woman of right age with full discriminations of right and wrong, able to engage my mind and body. I find women 30sh and above with full understanding of what they are getting into more captivating and engaging. I may have committed indiscretions but not with the unknowing. There is a line I will not and will never cross, that is engaging a minor or a woman at very young age. Piously devoted I may be, but from time to time, I have let the temptations overwhelm me. Piously I am!!!! He!he!he!

Beauty may fade as age comes but you can always tell that one was during their younger years. There are more important things in life when you reached 40, somehow beauty is set aside. You get busy preparing what really matters in life, the simple things like peace, love, content. At this stage, you get what you see, no faux(ness). Women at this stage know what matters most, looking good is only second to feeling good, mentally and physically.....

In nature, we see beautiful animals like beautiful horses, cats and dogs. Sometimes at first glance, we also see beautiful human beings without knowing what is inside those human beings. So in nature, a physically beautiful human being could be described in the same level as a beautiful cat, if we just consider the physical aspects. This is where we, the human beings transcend above our physical existence over the other animals. When we see a very physically perfect structured woman, we are attracted to her instantly and we call her physically beautiful but it does not stop there. We need to know if she has intelligence to know what is right or wrong, if she could function in our world or else we could not live with her. If she does not meet our parameters, she would not be attractive to us, our mind would tell us that she is not beautiful after all. In grade school, I remember a motto that says “ a thing of beauty is a joy forever” but no living thing is permanent, character will outlast physical beauty. You know what, long time ago when people died in their twenties and thirties, most living people looked physically beautiful, but they were dirty and live in the bare existence, and so economics enhanced their physical looks. Physical beauty is just a passing fancy, look at the Miss Universe of 50 years ago. If a girl is overweight, it is just temporary, all she needs to do is lessen calories. If a girl is physically beautiful but lacking in other attributes, it is permanent and beyond repair.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ... The attraction could be in the character of the persona or the peculiarities of the physique ... Then where's the boundary when beauty begins and the eyes of the beholder ends? ... The appreciation to one person's uniqueness either in the surface or below is too encompassing to contemplate ... The traits that goes with it varies from person to person on what the intention involves .... it could be permanent, temporary, carnal in concept, but the ongoing cliche, is that how to step on broken glass and not having your feet cut ... Here's the crux of the problem ... Does beauty go beyond the limits of character? ... For all intents and purposes, it could be accepted it is so ... because beauty in its destructive composition - always have the upper hand when choices are made ... even how fatal the consequence ...

The following is just for reading entertainment, to fill the gap when nobody is posting..... What is Beautiful?...... It is February and it is the month to celebrate Valentine’s Day. When I was in my youth, I always look forward for this occasion, where girls put on their best to look attractive during the Valentine dance. It is an inherent trait that people put on the best to excite the keenest of pleasure to the senses and stirs emotions that attract people to their direction.... It was the movie “ Romeo and Juliet” where in one scene, a minstrel sang the following song, “ What is a youth, impetuous me, what is a maid, full of desire and the world goes on, a rose will bloom, and then it fades , so does youth , so does youth, and so does the fairest maid”. How true indeed that physical beauty would not stay with us forever. The song tickled my mind to wander on how beauty and eternal youth got into the human psyche of wanting to retain these attributes. When we were young, external beauty was very important, and we tried our best to look physically attractive for long, long time as possible. It is nature’s way of preserving the specie, be it the birds or insects, they have their own way of attracting the opposite sex because if it does not happen, the specie would go to extinction. Young people grow up with ideas that are inherent without the benefit of experience, so they do not realize that with people living longer, the inner beauty could supplement the physical beauty.... When it comes to the quest of being pretty, people’s attitude is tilted to what the beauty consultants have to say. We try to do all the tricks to achieve the youthful looks, but in the long run, it is us who would determine how young we are. We can go places, change faces, but the fact is that wherever we are, we bring our own inner self. We are all victims of the commercialized T.V. advertisement, where the concept of beauty is defined by the commercial geniuses..... Once upon a time, during the era of the painter Reuben, the beautiful woman was defined as the very robust with big arms and heavy legs, which I believed was a status symbol of wealth ( good nutrition ). Then later on, during the 18th century and 19th century, the fair skin lady was beautiful which also symbolized wealth because the fair skin lady was a member of the upper class who not were exposed to the sun to earn their livelihood. But during the 20th century, the symbol was changed to the tan skin, which during winter time the rich could achieve by taking vacations in sunny places. So the concept of beauty has and had always been defined by economics and the people behind are those who could control the media and the society pages of the era..... In my thoughts, the word beautiful probably first surfaced during the time when the first settlements were formed. During the time when humans were nomadic, the society was egalitarian where everybody were on equal footing and individual mindset does not matter because everything they earned belonged to the whole tribe to be divided amongst the members. When the settlements were formed around 15,000 years ago, the tribes began to live together for security and for division of labor according to each capabilities. For the first time in history, it was at this period when the intelligent and capable people started accumulating wealth and acquired the capability to support larger families. At this period, these capable people were able to propagate their genes in large numbers, adding to the society their intelligent descendants. As the settlements grew,, there were more vacant time to think about other aspect of life besides food gathering and production. The increase of the population provided a wider pool of candidates for spouses. At this period, while less capable men could only support one wife, the wealthy and capable men could support several wives and therefore could propagate their genes in large numbers, that was why the population became smarter with time. With smarter people around, they were able to idealize what they wanted in their choice of a mate..... In those early times, people’s life span was short because of diseases, people also marry at young age, reproduced early and die young in their late twenties or thirties, to be 40 was considered an elderly age. Because people who were alive were young, they retained their physical beauty until they die in their late twenties or thirties. I believe that it was at this period when people firmly defined what was beautiful. But do you know the underlying factor that influenced people’s perception of beautiful? Like the modern times, it was economics, because beauty is a luxury that could be enjoyed by those who could afford it. To prove my premise, please go to a shopping mall and count the stores that cater to the enhancement of people’s perception of looking beautiful, from clothes, shoes, bags and other accessories that promote the looking good. People also wrongly perceive that the high cost of the goods would enhance the effectiveness of the beauty products. It is really economics that makes the world beautiful and it follows that beautiful people are in the society pages of the world. From the ancient times to the modern times, you can find the beautiful women in the rich cities and countries of the world. (Thanks for reading my wandering thoughts and imaginations, I hope you enjoyed reading it, hehehe)

I don't know a lot about polyglots except that these people are capable of speaking multiple languages/dialects. Linguists, on the other hand, may only know one language or dialect, but they certainly know every aspect of that language, both structure and semantics. They study each change that happens to a word that makes a sentence which ultimately makes up a language. Each morpheme(word) is made up of phoneme (spoken) and grapheme (written) and the slightest change in a morpheme also changes its meaning. There's that movie (can't remember the title) where they featured a bushman who spoke using nothing but clicking sounds, his language. Linguists have also been known to help deaf children with minimal hearing speak audible sounds. A good example is Marlee Matlin, an actress who is completely deaf but is able to speak English. I have a nephew who was born completely deaf. His cochlear nerve was never developed, but he's able to pronounce certain word combinations and is able to communicate verbally. When he was a child, his whole family worked with a linguist who taught them how to show him how they speak. Whenever they talked to him, they would hold his one palm about an inch away from their mouth while the other palm was on their throat so he can feel the sound. And they also learned to exaggerate each word they spoke. In no time he learned to read lips and utter words in response. He also received implants when he started school which enable him to hear tones. This kid is now a freshman at UCLA and fluent in two languages, ASL and SEE, all because of linguistics introduced at such a young age.

My friends, pardon the intrusion but I have to make clarifications. Strong rainfall is not biew biew but beye-beye. The antonym of beye-beye is maya-maya which means slight shower. Tayaketek or "taiaqueteq" as Orca indicated may come before a strong shower or aftershower. When the rain comes, it comes slightly and end similarly. However, when someone address a young lady as "amaya" it is a bad word that is slighting to one's decency. Immersion is also a process where the person engaged himself heavily or merged himself whether study of culture or language to learn the full nuances of such. In my reading, language immersion as BnP had before indicated is confining one person with a beautiful lady in a room and learning from her the language. This is rather unique and effective for not only you learn the language but learn the expression and culture. I will not advocate this that although this is consensual, it is consexual - if there is such a word. Immersion also is used by the socialist in forming their economic and political policy via what is known as revolutionary "praxis" where the person live with the people to understand the root of the problem. This is effective for the person forming the policy places himself or herself in the people's situation and understand it from their point of view. This is applied in effective communication as listening is involved. Effective listening is placing yourself in the speaker's shoes and understanding it from his/her point of view. This may be my last posting as I can not with good conscience be a Padre Pio any longer. I could be a Father Pio, the difference being Father as someone with offspring.

JFC, language immersion is a phrase that is also used in education. Studies have proven that when a child is immersed in the culture as well as the language, that child has a higher chance of being proficient in a second language. To live and experience a language is the ultimate goal, especially if the learner is older. _______ Tayaketek is our version of maya-maya.

Nice to have you here,Mr. JFC.BNP speaks fluently the Binubolinao dialect,I do not know why,maybe he was a Bolinaoan in his past life before reincarnated. As far as I am con cerned,puro nin Binubolinao tan orihinal nin tagadtaw sa bandan panrupan nin probinsiya tamon Pangasinan.Ampag-adal akodti nin Sarita´ tamon Pangasinan.How about you,Mr. or Miss JFC. I suppose you speak few dialects ,too?Have you been immersed in another language? Me, yes of course, the German,reason why I write the English language in German accent,the syntax is quite different,Alumna knows this,she lived in southern Germany for many years.But immersion in language has a "deeper" meaning according to BNP,well "binyagan"in his constructed metaphore, I guess.

It is in the evening here, so I greet you good evening. Before I will proceed to my topic, I am asking you to please gave me an open mind not to be embarrass. I just want to make a simple comments regarding your statement about BnP being engage in language immersion. I am quiet confuse with this word LANGUAGE IMMERSION. Could this be LANGUAGE CONVERSION, TRANSLATION, OR ADAPTATION. In my understanding of the word IMMERSION is an act of submerging and object in the water. Religiously speaking it is a form of baptism. If I am not mistaken, BnP and Claudia were born and raised in Bolinao having their own dialect since their birth. In my opinion they love their own dialect that they will never trade. Any other languages or dialect are just for them to learn for the purpose of fluent communication to others. this is just my comments and opinion Father.

Biew, biew is a term I don't hear anymore. Most say maya, maya. I only get to speak Pangasinan once in a while. My siblings and I were raised speaking Ilocano at home. Growing up in the Cordilleras, we learn to speak Kankanaey from my mother's side. With Pangasinan and Kankanaey, I'm slow in the beginning of the conversation, fumbling for words but then it all comes back naturally. Tagalog was never my strength, in fact I am more proficient with the 2 latter dialects. Hubby is also a Tagaloo, speaks it fluently, so I speak and pick up new words all the time. I speak my dialects base on where one comes from; to which some find irritating. I do it to remind them that one never really forget the dialect they were born with. Accents do not bother me, it is the correct way languages/dialects should be spoken that counts....

I actually learned Tagalog as an adult hanging out with Filipino friends in college. I became proficient when I got married and had to deal with the in-laws:) For the longest time, I thought neck was ne-ek. Hubby never corrected me because he knew exactly what I meant but when we went to Cavite and was introduced to Lolo, he thought I was using too much of a slang. That I should pronounce it Naic, their town's name hehehe. Then there was the time when we were summoned to his aunt's house and when we got there people were crying. I asked what was going on and they said "nadumog si Tiyo" Of course I spoke a little too soon when I turned to hubby and said "nadumog lang nag-iiyakan na?". For some reason, I thought nadumog was found, that he was lost and someone found him. I later explained to hubby that "dumog" was the root word for "to find or meet up with someone". That is Pangasinan right? Of course I had to endure his singkit eyes glaring at me all evening! ______ It is also biew biew in my neck of the woods.

Religion is indeed divisive, but faith moves us. Our faith is the support of our conviction without which we will be swayed by the temptation that is abound. I am indeed delighted that even for a brief moment you have responded to my posting, indicative that I may have moved or "atenyeg koy kapuspusuan yo." It is indeed difficult to be holy for the more you try, the more you are exposed to the worldly desires. These vixens surrounds you destroying the foundation of your will. But I must survive these, and not let them overcome. I shall them seek them and influence them away from the worldly desires. How can I do it without employing the principle of revolutionary praxis - that means emerging myself among the sinners and sway them. Oh worldly desire, that temptress on a stilt like high heels with every move it pronouced the curves it supports.

"Don't throw pearls infront of the swine/before the swine". A metaphor derived from from Matthew 7: 1-6. It meant don't waste good things on people who won't appreciate them. If people will continue in their rejection on what you preached pertaining to God's - why bother? It was a reading from the gospel of Matthew relating to Jesus' warning to his disciples to preach only to receptive audiences. That was then - this is now. It was biased and prejudicial ... highly selective, that will make Jesus advocating a politically incorrect approach to ethnic make-up. It could be construed Jesus ... is one hell of a bloody racist.

Wasn't it that God told Moses to count the people to prepare for the move to the land He promised? It probably was more of organization around the 12 tribes and the division of the land.

I’m not big on reading the bible, but wasn’t there information about a census being taken followed by the great plague? Weren’t Mary and Joseph on their way to their native land to be counted in a census when they stopped in Bethlehem?

Conception or birth is a consequence of an accidental meeting during a performance of an action. Having said that, I believe that humans are products of an accident during an incident when the parents were making love. When parents make love, their actions could be intended to produce a descendant, so in their mind they had a plan, but the conception is purely a luck because among the tens of thousands of sperm cells, only one is lucky to fuse with the egg cell. The significance of the birthday is to celebrate the accident that happened in the conception, when the female egg fused with a sperm cell. But not all conceptions go full term so those lucky ones that came out as babies have a reason to celebrate their luck which is beyond their control. I think that is the reason why birthdays are celebrated, that the luck we had to have come out as human beings is truly a luck in the animal kingdom. When a person survives an accident, he is thankful for the luck bestowed upon him and he would never forget the day of the accident. It is like birthdays, if people knew when they were born. I think that this is the subconscious reason why people celebrate birthdays, to celebrate the lucky strike.

In my ipinion,birthday has nothing to do with celebration,cake, dine-out,party,invite but it is a day of thanksgiving,a day when I creep into my inner being.According to my old folks, I was born on the island of Santiago by a male expert,albularyo, because at that time there were no midwifes who frequented that island.Later when I was applying for a passport going to Europe I found out that my birthdate registered at the Registry office was on the 15th of March.According to stories ,there must have been a typhoon that hindered the promt registration.But my mother knew ,i was born on the 2nd of February,her own birhtdate .Sometimes I ponder and think of that day I was born on that small island,realizing the fact of what and where I am now,I feel deep gratitude to the Almighty and also to my parents each year of the 2nd of February,it is a significant date.you can believe me when I say, i do not mind the wrinkles( for I have none,he he he),do not need any enhancement ,feel beautiful and attractive inside and outside.Until these days.....Anyway, I never celebrated birthday party in my lifetime,I just enjoy the company of my two children who aside from the Mother´s day ,come home to their mom.

Having the privilege of celebrating the day of birth did not come until the introduction of the Julian calendar by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. It has a regular year of 365 days divided into 12 months, and a leap day is added to February every 4 years. The aborigines of the islands did not have the notion of time, but had the natural sense of remembrance, that night is time to rest, and day to wake up and to forage for food. Birthdays are inconsequential to them until the onset of European exploration where they learned, that a day is divided hours, days into months, months into a year. It was the introduction of education the lowly islander was forced to mark his/her birth to denote how old he/she for census purposes. Tis' the christianization of the islands where the birth of Christ should be celebrated with pomp and circumstance, and this practice started an avalanche of misguided belief of having birthdays. What's there to celebrate having BD's after you're born? Coming out alive, is celebration enough - without the burden of incessant year in year out crunching of unwelcome numbers in our constant refusal to show aging. Fighting it out with tainted hair, with botox to hide the wrinkles, with face lifts that will shame Cleopata, but still we forgot to fight it out with less cost and worry, is to erase from your mind the Bday that will haunt you the rest of your life. It works in how to accept it, the pain of having no cake in the coffee table.

Thank you for the welcome given me by the regulars of this board. I want to answer foremost the response of KBb – presumptous it is but grounded on careful consideration of the exchanges that you have here. Blessed are the sinners for they have tasted the worldly satisfaction, and woe to the humble and meek for they will eat the dust; seems to be the proscription of all you posting. Alumna and Santito intimated that I may had been worldly – true for I could not without experience discuss and condemn such frivolition. From those migivings and indiscretions, I learned to wean myself. And despite these I confess that I never could and never will dable with what Orca intimated, for I have engaged even in my youth opposite sex only older than me. Enough of this discussion – but pray that you will once in good times, remember the graces you have received and without HIM, those will not befall to you. Pray also that in this coming election, the people will be guided in their selection of people that will lead them, and their heart be their guidance for nothing of importance can be seen by the lustful eyes, but the craving heart will guide you to the goodness that is within you. And if I may add, there seems to be a reflection that I sound like someone you know – I assure you that I am not anyone you know, if so, you have known the goodness in you. I will hope and pray that the abundance of intelligence in this board may increase – and that good life as you are and had experience in the past will forever stay with you. I will again visit you as I have calling waiting for me – and pray also that the stength of my WILL guides me to do what is rightful. To yols your perseverance may be the stregnth that guides anyone that comes your way, to Santito, you knowledge and you purpose of sharing whateever good in you sprout like weeds in a fertile ground, to Orca, may your wit and sharpness be productively shared so whatever truth you seek comes flowing and the cauldron of fire of ignorance be averted, to Alumna, your faith in God, your devotion to your family yield not an emty fruition, to all Imiss may you have flood of blessings, to KBb, may you be sheltered by an umbrella of calmness and the shade coming from it shy you away from any temptation that arouse from the evils penetrating the shade of the umbrella – may you be blinded from those sinly thought and your sight replaced by the brightness of purity cascading from person whose main reason is not to grab the holder of the umbrella but to help that person provide the shade and you both be protected by the green jealousy of those wanting to be in you shoes. I shall from time to time join you – but may not be in the frequency that you folks enjoy.

You had me thinking about how people of long time ago remember their birthdays, if it had any significance to them. Let us go back to prehistoric Philippines when the first inhabitants were the aborigines or what the Spanish called Negritoes or commonly called Aetas. These group of people, as some historians claimed, looked like the first humans who escaped from Africa and traveled to the Philippine Islands through the land bridges during the ice age, before the water covered the land bridges after the great ice melt. These people did not have the culture of the later immigrants, the Indonesians and the Malays. They did not know when they were born, so their basis of age is not number of years because they did not have concept of the earth revolving around the sun, but probably were known by being the old timer in their community, such as oldtimer #1, 2, 3. Their was no discernible change of season in the tropics so they have no basis of time change for remembrance. Because people die young during those times, their numbers was easy to count in terms of ranking the elderly. There you are, Hidalgo, that is what you are talking about, no birthdays, but still the community knew who were the old people in their settlement…. Getting old and older to me is good for knowledge, we gain experience and common sense but the drawback with experience is that by the time we acquire it, we might be too old to take advantage of it, hehehe. Happy birthday to both of you, H and C

It may sound rude, cold and unforgiving, but it's the right prescription to a medical mystery, that even Ponce De Leon made a fool of himself in his search for the ..... fountain of youth. To stop the natural process of aging, without the array of man-made drugs, is to cut down on birth dates and just completely forget it. Meaning not to remember the day you came charging into this world because this way you don't accumulate years piling up on your back. I am in my prime at fifty (50) and stays at fifty everyday ..... not getting any younger or older ala D'Highlander!

In this board, we like to have fun which comes in different style from different people. I the past, I knew when somebody tried to create and play a role and I played along with the flow because our main purpose is to create topics to talk about. If we identify a masked actor at the opening of the stage, he would become gun shy so he would fade away and we will lose the plot of the zarzuela. I knew that Padre Pio liked to create a story but I think he changed his mind.

Posters in this board try not to discuss politics and religion. Threads of discussions are based on each poster's i.e. experiences, questions, beliefs, principles; all facts of life. Most do not try to offend, attack the poster. It is done with decorum when one disagrees or agrees with the flow of discussion. Father, lust, youth, and hope are real feelings that can be discussed with the right attitude. Surely you've touched these subjects without putting any malice on it.

Personal attacks are frowned upon and are considered juvenile.

Does your name connotes something pious? Seemed you went for religiosity as a refuge for something sinister? If I'm not mistaken, Padre Pio was that Italian man of the cloth with blood on his hands. Oooops! Sorry! I meant that stigmata on his palms which catholics declared to high heavens a Jesus sign on earth. Well, to some priests - a bloody few - of the catholics of America, literally bloody when they went rampaging into the world of . . . pedophilia. Were you by chance, as Santito insinuated, been a member of the shock troops of the cassock brigade? But, you are from M-a-k-a-t-i. Makati ba ang kamay mo .... pare ko? hehehehehe!

Father Pio, thank you for your visit, it is an honor to be with such illustrious human being like you, a saintly man. I can read below the lines of your statements that you were once a worldly man and as an ordained a priest, you have a wider horizon than others when rendering opinions concerning the worldly wise assessment of the worldly situations. I hope that you would become a regular in this board, you could surely act as the father confessor for many of us because sometimes we get lost in our wild dreams and imaginations. You know father, I too considered joining the Religious Order but the sight of a beautiful girls overcame my saintly ambition so I decided to follow the dictates of Nature, to contribute my share in the continuity of the human specie. One thing where you could really make use of your talents is to consider having a column , sort of advise column for the lonely hearts. I suppose that you probably had a lot of worldly experience in the affairs of the heart because like St Augustine, you decided to forego this worldly paradise to prepare yourself for the everlasting happiness in the celestial world. Lastly, I like to welcome you , you are indeed a gift from heaven.

I have been a bystander in the exchanges here, not knowing whether joining the discussions would be welcome. Despite my hesitation, I deemed it necessary to share my humble idea, hoping that it would not be personally taken. Surely, there are discussions worthy of keeping, but discussion of lost hope and lost lust is not appropriate. Not that I am trying to encroach in your moral understanding or lack of it, but surely, we can exhaust our cerebral energy to something worthwhile as the political condition of the country. I know you are all expatriate, but curtail being expletive. Certainly, you are enjoying the revisit of your lost youth and engaging in false hope that you can at least experience a day of your wildness. I will pray for your souls, as I prayed for the generator of such discussion. You know who you are.

It is interesting to live in the temperate regions where there is change of seasons. I anticipate the change, make plans for the next season and for the events that come with it. But to me, there is an added advantage which only exist in my mind, nothing scientific. Do you know the reason why you keep your perishable food in the refrigerator? It is to slow its spoilage, so that is the reason why I feel young because I am refrigerated for 9 months out of a year. So you see, Tibs, I am well preserved and have no butter in my body. My age is slowed down to months instead of years, my skin is not dried up because water evaporates very slowly, and because of the cold, I walk in the Mall, sheltered form the UV light. But the biggest deal of them all is that I don’t get bored because I have something to anticipate, the change that is coming. But if a person is fond of outdoors, this is not the place. Will I stay in this area all my life? Probably so, I am used to this kind of weather and I will miss it. I go out of the house everyday, rain, shine or snow and it does not bother me as long as I can drive….I wonder which place is more pleasant to retire, a hot place with low humidity like Nevada and Arizona or the four season areas? Let us analyze how our body would react to these places. Our body is made up of about 60% water and if you were in a low humidity, hot location, your body water ( cellular water) would be under stress to loss water through perspiration to cool your body, your skin would wrinkle if water was not replaced, you will look older than your age. If you lived in a temperate region, you are refrigerated for 8 to 9 months of the year and your body does not need to cool off , no perspiration where you loss water. Compare you skin when you used to live in a temperate place versus where you are. ( this is not scientific, just an idle thought), hehehe

If I can avoid it, ranching is a goner. A pain in the butt. Am thinking to go silver hunting. Still aplenty in 'em thar hills! Checking the Comstock - veins of good significance can be found. I heard you're melting-yourself-like-butter away in a rocking chair watching the grains of gold swaying in the Kansas breeze. How about giving yourself a chance at life here in the virgin high country of Nevada? It could be the greatest adventure of your life, but leave the yackety-yack of wifey behind. Remember, only hard men like the likes Jeremiah Johnson, Barnabas Sackett could survive the unforgiving heat of day and cold of night. But, you'll know if you're man enough. Also, the dry high desert air, is good for your health - with no humidity will give you the stamina you'd never experienced before. Feel better now?

Is Tibbs the cowboy ( not the detective) giving up his ranch? Is he becoming a lonesome cowboy? What he needs is a lively Mephisto, with high heeled cowboy boots and 100 degrees temperature, some like it hot. Being a cowboy is hard work, the sunset is his destination which is home on the range. Now, where can Tibbs, the cowboy find Dale Evans? Maybe, he just wanted to be Jeremiah Johnson of Nevada, sleeping under the stars alone.

Ranchin' days are over, methinks. Returned the land to the Feds, and let loose the heifers to roam wild and free. Been a headache lately, 'em cows are unruly, and to hold 'em down takes Herculean effort - rustlers are on the prowl. Mustangs? Tried before.

Aye, that question should never be answered by anyone with half’a brain, hehehe. Let me tell you a story instead. The very first time I laid my eyes on hubby, he was wearing all black and did not even give me the time of day. The second time we met was between my attempt at playing Hotel California and singing the crap out of each note. He grimaced with a real look of disgust on his face then he turned to play scrabble with the other girls in the room. How dare him ignore me! So I marched in there to show him how the game is played but he ended up beating me. It was pure luck on his part and plain stupidity on my part, all because I wanted to see if he knew how to use his tiles which I happen to accidentally see, hehehe. He scored two fifty pointers in a row! By the time he completed his “equines” on the board, I was head over heels, hehehe. Oh yeah, we also played basketball in the driveway and he says to me “I bet ten bucks I can outshoot you.” I let him win☺

When I am in a crowd with strangers, there are three kinds of people who attract my attention. The first is one who has not met any stranger yet, the very talkative guy. The second is the elusive, quiet who keeps to himself or herself. The third is the one who talks just enough but leaves some words for you to think about. Among the three, I enjoy the third one ….I said I enjoy the third because… The first is like a woman in a bikini suit who bares it all, nothing left to imagine except the little spot. The second is like a woman in burka, fully veiled, nothing to begin the imagination. The third is a woman in mini skirt, I wonder what is left unseen….A guy who does not bare everything about himself is fun for girls to find out and he would either be a surprise or nothing at all, but he was fun.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, as the old saying goes. Verily, being good with words "maong ya manvirso" works, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, I follow a different style. There should be an air of mystery in a relationship. The more unknown and unpredictable a guy is, the more females become interested. It excites curiosity and an air of excitement. For me, a bare and naked female would not produce as much excitement as a partially-clothed one. Something should be left for the imagination. Females in general have that instinct of trying to find out about a guy. The more unscrutable one is, the more is their interest in trying to solve you. As mama Ostran would say, VIVE LA DIFFERANCE!

You do not have to love me, for I have sufficient love for both of us. Love that is not controlling; a love that will allow us to both grow. If the time comes that you change your mind, be not afraid to tell me for I’d rather see you happy than be with me miserably…… This is the kind of love that nurture and does not suffocate.

Let me explain further my response to Yols. How many husbands including yours never had a prior relationship before you? If he had, chances are that he had expressed his emotion in the same manner as he expressed them to you. However, when he made the statement to you, it made a lot of difference because you made the words worth repeating, and that he is saying it with sincerity when he repeated those words of love to you.

Now, now, taking a great risk, let me respond to you. What did I say before? A good counselor will tell you if caught "en flagrante delicto" (caught in act) do not deny but justify! Likewise, a woman may tell you – that she knows you have said those lines before, and that you are just repeating them again. Then admit to her, that it is true, you are guilty for having said it before. But, this time, you have the burden and it pains you to repeat them again, for lack of better words, but do tell her that this time you are saying it with all utmost sincerity. Tell her that you truly regret having said those words before; because now that your sincerity is suspect. However, ask, the lady to judge you not by these words, but by your actions as you walk the life together. If this does not work, my name is not Boleg. Now….ladies, we are given new lease of life when we turn new leaf, isnt it?

I am not sure whether the parents are still alive. For sure, Ms. Mondares may not remember me – unless her younger friends are with her in which case, I will be lucky if I get cold shoulder treatment only. That is the reason I keep on harping that “You can forget the pain, but the pleasure lingers in the mind.” And if the ladies I crossed path will only bear in mind that the happiness and the loving beyond pleasure erases the pain, I certainly will not be looking behind me all the time. But the truth Salome is that I was never at fault for I was just a victim of the passing illusion occasioned by the presence of those beautiful women. If eyes are made for seeing and the beauty has its own excuse for being, I should then not be faulted for giving in to the vexing temptations. Mama Mia! Blame the men, but the women generate the heat of temptations.

Men of honor can keep a secret. It happened in San Carlos. When Mayor Resuello was waked for days on end, everybody were surprised when nine (9) concubines - as the story was told - lined-up before his bier to say goodbye for the last time. And these women were independent of each other. How he put them under wraps was something to be admired. All those years, Mayor Resuello was an awesome player of the first order, and he brought his innermost secrets to his grave.

RHS opened an idea which I long closed. That blue-seal products are better products and that cooking is effeminate. These are two different mindset – but congruent to each other. The first follows the concept that women with fair complexion (mestisang bangus) are attractive and the kayumangis are less attractive. The fair complexion always plays the “reyna sagala” and the others are just the flower maids. So wrong! As a young man, I found this not to be true – when viewing the beauty, color to me is immaterial. I take into consideration the whole package including with what is inside (character). As to cooking – it is an art and art appeals to people with finer taste. This is also true with profession – before, you will not find a male nurse. I love flowers and I joined my wife in attending orchid shows. More so, I love going to Japanese flower arrangement – an art I discovered late in my adult life. I do ikebana – my wife was amazed how I learned them. I learned them through immersion experience, much like my language training. And to most guys that have lived in US for a long time – I too have immersion with the western life style – but I am a farm boy, raised and grown in the kapasulan of Pangasinan. I believe that my full Asian experience and taste will not be replaced, unless you are introduced to the “southern comfort” in which case you may change your mind.

I think - not a braggadocio - I hit the American kitchen floor running. I learned my lessons in preparation and cooking from my mother at an early age. Not only that, I was a keen student of those .... cusiniros .... who were tasked to create such delectable plates of mouth-watering dishes just looking at the pig/cow tied under the baiaoas tree. It was like playing golf or riding a bicycle, once it's known you'll never forget it. To me, cooking is an adventure in the rarefied air of culinary art. The perfection of my education came, when I was thrown a sharp knife and a live fatty specimen of a goat, and given the marching order, that once I holler, it's already on the table cooked - for the taking. An exercise in exclusivity! Pinapaitan and calderita, anyone?

Filipino men of the 1960s and 70s grew up in a culture where cooking was considered a woman’s territory. Two of my brothers in law migrated to America as Interns in the 1960s and the Filipino food became a luxury that they missed because they did not know how to cook. One of them eventually married his Filipino wife because “ his heart is connected to his stomach “. The other one married his Caucasian wife because she was a “blue seal who learned how to cook Filipino food”. Blue seal was a slang in the Philippines of anything imported from America or Europe. During those times, cigarettes and whiskey imported from USA were sealed with blue stamps, hence the blue seal to distinguish it from the local cigarettes and the Cowboy Gin.

Unbeknown to the eating public .... cooking is not only cooking for eating sakes. It's an art to itself, and mastery of it takes time like a dish simmering in a crackpot. It's a learning, a continuing process challenging the most sophisticated of taste buds, the wil-o'-the-wisp in a kitchen, that from a simple ingredient you can turn it into ambrosiac perfection or bumbling idiocy. But, in its magical form, with little sprinkling of salt 'n pepper ..... it's the closest route to a woman's heart.

Now you open up a new subject. In this particular area of human necessity. I believed I am an afficionado that I wouldn't dare haul down my emblem or flag without a fight. My experience goes back at home before I came to America reinforced by my stint in US Navy service as Steward (in the Army or Marines, they call themselves Orderlies). Recruited as Steward as all non-citizen (US) Filipinos made their entry to America, one of the subjects of learning (specialized school) the trade was Cookery or Food preparation. Even I was just steward for 4 years, I learned a lot about American Culinary art that up to this day I use it entertaining friends at home parties. I can judge a good cook by how sharp his cooking knives are, how neat his preparation area is especially the sink, cupboard, refrigerator and tidy meatboard. Once on a cruise, during our last day on board a ship, they (ship) gave us a very nice going away party and the highlight of the night was a parade of waiters and waitresses carrying a each a platter of what they call "Bake Alaska" with a lighted small candle on top. Before our waiter sat it in our table I knew what it was which was just an Ice cream with foamy white egg ran thru a blender and put on top of the hard ice cream and bake over at 350 degrees in a minute just to brown the foamy white of an egg. I prepared that once before while I was cook and to my amazement the officers I served that dessert made a considerable attaboys of what I accomplished. Take the case of turkey. Turkey is the cheapest food there is in the grocery store and only served during the holidays that can run to as low as 30 cents a pound. Turkey meat is bland and what makes it so good is how good the gravy is. Even my sons and daughters in law when I said I prepared roast turkey, they come in droves because they knew how I prepared my gravy, a gravy made from the basic ingredients. At pot luck parties my friends just tell me (not asked) to bring vegetable pinakbet. I usually make so much that whats leftover after meal every housewives always scamper to take some home.My pot is always clean empty to take home. My wife admit that she was too lucky that I knew how to cook. When she cook she always asked me to taste her concoction if its alright. Well cooking is just a mixture of ingredients of the right quality, quantity proper temperature cooking time and amount of condiments and liquid you put in. I am not much of putting garnish to any food prepared because garnish is just a decoration, just a waste. Now going back to BNPs boyhood experience, I admit that I am just as bad as he is. The first one to the outhouse in the bamboo groves, just to skip washing the dishes. We don't have that tissue we use routinely here, but sticks and coconut hush if available to wipe clean our rectum. The most popular one we used during those lean times was the sugar cane peelings which is always available in most yards. For you guys who were born with silver spoons in their mouths and which you haven't experienced scenarios in a poor mans backyard was the appearance of santol seedling in groves behind those large trees or bamboos. You know what they were? It was just a part of the stool, because if you don't swallow the santol seeds you will never feel your fill. In about couple of weeks, those seeds come sprouting like mongo beans sprouts. Those are now memories from the past.

I was the youngest too. My sisters call me Botog (lazy). For after dinner I would stay in the outhouse and come out only after the dishes were done. The benefit of being the youngest is that your parents are tired imposing discipline and likewise you learn from your older sibling things your parents wants to hear – and that would be your response. I thought my wife was a good cook for she will bring me at the dorm food their maid prepared, until I learn later that she couldn’t even cook rice. I came to US as single, and I learn that American women fancy men that are sensitive to women’s needs, so I learn how to cook breakfast. The reason why breakfast, is that you get to stay overnight to prepare for the breakfast; and you can have the pre-breakfast privileges. When I started working with our Agency, I had the privilege of being a member of the senior level buffet at the Secretary’s kitchen. For $12:00 a week, I can have all the coffee, tea I can drink and the donuts, quiche and other breakfast menu that the Secretary’s kitchen prepares. The cook were prior Navy Filipino guys so they take care of my lunch as I only do lunch couple of days a week at the office. Whenever I had a chance, I look at the way they prepare food and learn from there. When our Division moved out of the building, the price of coffee outside that kitchen gave me a jolt. Now, I can claim that I am a better cook than my wife. Last night I prepared Norfolk Spot paksiw. My favorite is grilled bangus with saluyot, labong and taro roots. My sweet daughter in law, full blooded Chinese and whose parent owns a restaurant does not even know how to cook. You can send me to a gourmet store and will talk their lingo – but send me to grocery for other stuff like laundry detergent, I am lost. I usually order my beef through the internet – or from an amish farmer. For my fish, I travel to Virginia Beach just to get them. They are fresh and caught wild. I usually stock them by October except for the Bangus which I buy from the local Asian market (they are Taiwan bangus). .

I was never into cooking, I don't know why. Heaven knows I love to eat, hehehe. Growing up as the youngest, I always had older brothers and sisters who cooked. I would do any chores but cooking. When hubby “announced” we were getting married, my Mom asked him if he knew how to cook and explained that I don't know the difference between a caldero and a tabo, hehehe. We lived on pasta, soup, and salad while our daughter was still in the house. Hubby can cook fancy dishes but not Filipino food. He's the type who would order a dish in a restaurant and after eating he can reproduce the dish without a recipe. His parents stayed with us when I went to grad school to help us out, and my mother-in-law CAN cook. She can even make spam taste good! She taught me how to cook a few things, but they're usually ginisa. Yeah, I brought a bunch of those sauce mixes back. I just found out this weekend that sinigang na manok is just as good as pork, hehehe.

During my prime, kitchen was my favorite habitat where I cooked gourmet foods or rather had creative cooking. My wife enjoyed my creative recipes, so did my friends that they enjoyed being guinea pigs. After my son left for college, my lifestyle also changed, I only cook simple food once or twice a week, the rest of the week is come what may, fast foods or restaurants. The trick about good cooking is the sauce, but I do not make my own sauce, I make use of the ready made pockets of sauce mixtures available in stores to make cooking convenient and fast. Right now, I still enjoy the place where I play the game of chance. As far as the golf game is concerned, I have been to a golf course only twice in my life, just in the driving range and that is as far as what I know about the golf game although I enjoy watching the PGA tournaments.

A few years ago I went to a convention in Vegas and the place was crawling with math teachers from everywhere (I'm almost certain the whole city lost money, hehehe.) The lines were ridiculously long at the airport on our way back, and after going through that metal detector door, out of hundreds if not thousands of teachers in those lines still wearing credentials around our necks, this lady signaled me to her side. She passed that Jedi-lightsaber baton she had in her hand all around me and still wasn't satisfied. In her very distinct accent, she said “raise your shirt” I raised an eyebrow and she repeated “raise your shirt”. I smiled and asked “how high do you want it?” and “raised” my shirt alarmingly high. The crowd applauded and I took a bow, hehehe So, KB, were you asked to drop your pants by this Filipina security jedi knightress at the Vegas airport? ____ TP, hubby golfs, drinks light beer and cape codder, doesn't smoke, and hates kissing lipstick:)

Tiburon – you are cerebral, that is what will catch your fancy. The esoteric discussion, the aesthetic appreciation of the art of handling the Payong, the unsolicited technical advices that they will give you in reading the greens and the proper handling of the club can be given to you in the privacy of your company. All of this over a cup of coffee of in a tub with your eyes closed listening to the sweet whisper and the soothing swirling of the water. You mentioned Belagio – the only thing I enjoyed in Belagio is watching the dancing fountain in rhythm with the music while drinking my beer and watching the smoke of my Cohiba mixes with the mist of the dancing fountain. Other than that, I do not think there is anything in Las Vegas that would entice me.

In fairness to these ladies, they do an honest work for an honest pay. They work for tips averaging 350php-500php per game. If they are getting more than that, then one would wonder what the job description entails. They dress accordingly, usually a uniform made up of cotton sport shirt and pants/shorts and anything in between, and their signature little hats and golf shoes. They’re called payong girls because they literally follow you around with their payongs. They also caddy for the players, luckily most of the decent courses require golf carts, so they don’t have to carry the bags around. They’ll read the grass, clean the balls, and in my case, they go after my balls, or they drive me back to the clubhouse, hehehe. I’ve only been to three courses; Las Pinas, Subic, and BRC (Bataan Refinery). I don’t play the game at any level close to where hubby is. I usually just check out the course, and if I obey the rules and manage to hush long enough for anyone to actually hit the ball, maybe I’m permitted to play a few holes, hahaha. Like BNP said, most of them are educated and can entertain you with their intellect, but oftentimes I’ve also had to bite my tongue a few times when I see how men treat them. Yes they will flirt with the guys if/when encouraged and yes, they are smart enough to know what’s going on…

This is a serious talk, unlike my previous suggestions that were sprinkled with humor. During my last visit to San Carlos, I had opportunity to drive around the barrios including remote places that I had not seen while growing up in the town. What I noticed was that the OFW economic engine is trickling into the barrios, I saw nice houses and cars in the barrios, including the remotest of places. My suggestion is to build mini Seven Eleven convenience stores in some of the barrios, you could sell the goods at cheaper price because you could buy your supplies in volume. You will be helping the residents become self sufficient in their community, but the problem is that you would become like the Wal-Mart here in America, you would put out of business the small garita or tindaan owned by Tia Pepita.

Ahhh so, that's how these payong girls roll manaya. Forgive my curiousity. Speaking of jobs back home, Filipinos are creative! Hubby came home from one of his gigs in the south then. Supposedly, south of PI was sterile for them. Mummed GROs, paddled in bancas were provided for them as courtesy gifts from their counterparts. Dressed in their skimpiest outfits, heeled shoes with stockings amid the hot weather, came ashore, paraded.. GRO, sounds like a fancy term, so I ask my hubby what it meant, guest relations officer kano!

The Payong girls also can offer technical advices. They observed a lot of golfers, and are conversant with the technique of correct and proper handling of the club; application of proper stroke so that the ball rolls at a sustain speed till it reaches the hole. The momentum caused by the stroke depends on whether it is a fast green, or slow green (turf consideration). Because these Payong girls live in the course, they are familiar with the turf and can eye where the obstacle maybe. At Mimosa in Clark, these Pampanguena Payong girls are one of the best that I have encountered. Most of these Payong Girls are college graduate too. So they are not limited in their communication style, and can engage in esoteric discussions – until your synapses are firing right. Sometimes their ideas passes right our head, so we could not repeat the discussion when asked. Asked your husbands if they have engaged these Payong Girls, they will deny it, because they had been humbled by their great minds. Like I said, mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Scooby Doo, Dippity Dog are just one personality, very attentive, helpful, emotional and never bark at the wrong tree most of the time. Now I learned a lot from KB's posting about Payong Girls. Never in my wildest dream ever I thought of the services available to golfers. I would be a pleasant or pleasing companion to one if I can be tended with a a nice and accomodating service with a tip for every stoke and I really don't care where my golf ball falls. PI is too warm or hot and sweating is a major part of the problem but with Payong girls I don't see any problem at all. My three sons kept nudging me to play with them I no longer remember (when I was asked) with free equipment, cool beer after session of play, rental jalopy and all. But honestly with KB's newly discovered services, I am convinced, I will consider in playing his sport of choice. As old as we are now I needed some guidance and direction to where I will send my golf ball flying. Now I am retired I believed the Payong girls would be of great help to add few years of living in this crazy world of sport. This is not an invitation to others men and women alike for it may affect and aggravate your health problems and pocket books as you may know human labor is getting so expensive as in car repairs nowdays.

Unbeknownst to many, the way the payong girls hold the umbrella is truly an art in itself. First, they make sure that the proper angle is established to cover the player from the hot sun. One will note that they do not hold the handle by their hands but more specifically their fingers. This they will show you, perhaps an indication that they are very dexterous with their fingers. They are also a step or two in front of you so you can appreciate their gently-undulating hips as they shassy along. Of significance is their tendency to"accidentally" hit you gently with their two anterior protruberances on many instances followed by an almost naughty glance and a smile. Especially at the back nine, your forehead is wiped by their dainty hankies to keep it dry. All of these and more are just my observations and not personal experiences.I am being more and more like BnP the DISCLAIMER rather than AG the DECLAIMER,he he he. There is not one iota of prurience here. It is just a manifestation of appreciation of beauty, be it a nice song, a beautiful dance, those flashing lithe legs, the wispy clouds, the bright sunshine, those undulating hips ala BnP, those gently heaving bosoms and those knowing smiles. I know I've arrived in golfing nirvana when at the end of the golf round, I forget my score but my mind is filled with beautiful memories that readily put a smile on my face. Life is good.

Your idea of helping is great and I have an idea to help you realize your humanitarian dream. I don’t know the mechanics or the process of adoption but this is the idea. In the Philippines, there are many girls in their 20s who aspire to come to USA. The idea is adopting these lonely young girls to alleviate their lonely existence, you’ll be their surrogate father and at the same time become their spiritual adviser. Your dream of becoming a priest will be fulfilled, you being called by this young women as Father and at the same time as spiritual adviser. To these girls , you’ll be Monsignor, sometimes called Monsinger or Monsogner during the creative spiritual sessions. hehehe ( pronunciation is due to anglicized pangasinenses.)

What a magnanimous act...so I gather you have few scholars on your own taking nursing, HRM, modeling, and probably few that are taking voice lessons. Yes, I agree with you. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Someone suggested to me to adopt a young girl - age 27 and above so that I can avoid the trouble of adolescent growing....nah, it seems to be a bad idea. I'll just be like KB watching the payong girls perform the art of holding the umbrella, or be like Scooby Doo with a periscope at the back of his head. That would be safer.

Dear Ms. Business Woman,.... You were asking about business opportunities in our hometown. I think most of these opportunities were shipped to China as written by one of the readers. But I have an idea that is still very fertile for development. It is a long range investment, a generational but the effect would be in a geometric progression. Go out in the neighborhood and invest on a bright young boy or girl who is about to graduate in high school but because of extreme poverty, he or she is sentenced to be at the side of the road, “estanby” counting the posts and shooting breezes. You will invest some of your money in a different way, with different sets of rules. You do not invest for your own benefit or for your profit. You invest on someone to grow. If by chance, your cause did not succeed or your expectations were not achieved, you still did not lose. Think of it this way, when you gave some money to help a person to achieve his goal but did not succeed, you still feel good about it. Now, when you went to a business and lost some money, you have a feeling of regret, that you wished you could have used the money in a positive way. Between the two, the first example is the winner..... Take it from a retired, old man who did it before when he was younger.

To fight temptation is not to fight it from within, but not to fight it at all. Let it flow and let yourself bathe in it, and in so doing your baptism of fire is complete.

First of all, I have to emphasize that I am not a righteous crusader because I don’t have the qualifications. I was just trying to point the harm being perpetrated to the vulnerable victims who are really victims of circumstances first and then secondarily victimized by the predators. But if we looked around us, predation is a way of life in the animal kingdom where the human beings were evolved. Going back to history, way back to the evolutionary times and up to the present, Darwin’s rule of survival of the fittest had and has always been into play. Just before the modern man evolved, there were several human lines that were also roaming the earth but eventually , the superior modern man displaced every human line because they were the fittest. During the time when the humans lived in small tribes, brute force was used by the predators to conquer women. When the culture became more advanced, then the economic power became the tool of the predators. With time, smart and intelligent people acquired wealth and their capability to support bigger families and several wives were accepted. The unintended effect was spreading the intelligent genes among the people because only the wealthy during those early times had the financial support to survive with several wives and families( that is why the intelligence of the human race increased dramatically with time ). In this modern time, there are many smart people on this earth so if that Californian with 11 mistresses is boasting about his predation, his genes is not smart enough to change the course of human history. But if he were a Nobel Prize winner of Economics, Science and Medicine ( but not the Peace Prize, oh No!) I would close my eyes and leave him alone to propagate his DNAs, hehehe. Seriously, predators are taking advantage of the vulnerability of the prey who are corrupted by the material things around them. Is this survival of the fittest? No, this is just catching up with the Joneses. But overall, the problem does not belong to the prey, it is the incapable government of the country whose concern does not trickle down to the poor. The government and the religion are not addressing the root cause of the problem, that is why the country is a sick old man. Predators, like carpetbaggers will tribe in a sick environment. (P.S. as for the Peace Nobel Prize, BNP has been living a peaceful life after he got married, not spreading around is body’s molecular description so he and a lot of us are qualified, hehehe.)

Power and money often leads to greed – anyone who has it will use it to serve their desire and intent. This is true among nations; it is true among men. Temptations to use this if you have it comes in many ways – sometimes that young girl may have watched so many Woweewee and her mind is wrapped in the fancy and glitter of materialism and she knows that she has the persuasive tool that no man can resist, and used it. If the insinuation comes from her – would the wealthy man become the hunted and not the hunter? This is what TP was trying to portray that economic values replaced the idealism of the young girls. Woe into the old man who is sold the idea that the young thing is in love with her – he must have his head examined; for he is being used also. Men are men, easily attracted by beautiful women that pass by them. Regardless of age – our lust in our hearts stays, but when you have heavily invested in your family with time emotion and symbiotic relation with your wife, no amount of temptation can foil that marriage. ____Would there be any justification for men’s indiscretion? By heavens none! That is the reason why it is termed indiscretion – lack of intent and lack of careful consideration; a foolish act indeed. When caught “en flagrante delicto” do not deny – justify it. The devil made me do it. There was sufficient provocation and the old man was not able to resist the provocation; he thought he can fight the temptation by engaging it, not thinking that the temptress is a lot stronger than him. (he!he!he!he! – Last statement is offered for jest) . This is what Tiburon meant in his comment – “Old men thought the Hell in High Heel is confused as as Heaven.” Is it KB?

I have a name for the guy who solicits client ( himself) for a prostitute ( his mistress), I call him Pimping Tom. His action is so disgusting that it is inhumane pushing somebody to a quicksand instead of helping her get out of it. If he were that altruistic, he could just help her without any trading of benefits. The behavior is like an animal predator in the wild preying on a prey, a weak prey in this situation, that is why I call him a predator. This behavior is a continuation of the primitive ways of the early human beings. During the prehistoric times, tribal men would raid a settlement and capture women for their mates, using brute force as the power to get these women. These time, however, these men use economic power to capture women as their extra mates. But because the prey nowadays are only protected by their values and conscience which could easily be penetrated by a golden sword, the prey could easily fall to the predator. So henceforth, I baptize these men Pimping Predators.

I disagree with CP's statement that marriage is in some way prostitution. It is necessary for the propagation of family in a civilized world; it is responsible for the order of society being an elemental unit of it. There is also truth to TP and KB’s observation concerning the sad state of some young women’s practice of using their God gift power of persuasion to earn them some cash or in some cases be paramour to some old men. But, who uses who is not an issue for it is a symbiotic relationship – not necessarily of emotion but of basic need. It is offensive to hear it, especially from a non-Filipino. The truth is, entertainment is one of our economic exports to the whole world. The term “Japayoki” is an example of it – many young attractive women are trained in the Philippines as early as 16 for that reason. But when I see older men going to the barrios and enticing the parents to part with their young one or the parents offered their young ones for a part of that wealth. I cringe and get sick to my stomach to learn of this. I am aware of one person in LA who have 11 young mistresses and is boasting that he will make it 12. The disturbing part of this is that these young girls know each other – or maybe related to one another. Would anyone of us regular here participate in that activity? I do not believe so – we still have scruples to deter us from such activity. A proof to this, you will not find any of us engaging you here – we will be busy somewhere else.

You don't know because you have not seen those karakoa bars, dance salons, discos and bars which are just fronts of prostitution. Your defense against our women left behind is quiet normal for a woman like you because you live overseas. For myself I don't visit my hometown looking such a nasty adventure besides I am too old for that and not necessairly looking for a wild interlude. Gloria Arroyo and her stooges in the Palace and in Congress turned blind eye to such bad reputation among our people.Men with money and influence especially in the Army, Police, Congress majority have their own concubines. It is true in small towns you can not find such house of ill-refute meeting places, but in bigger cities there they are. I am not putting down our women left behind but just what my observation was. Women who have the courage and education go anywhere in the world to look for a decent jobs just to get away from all those hardships in our homeland. Arroyo is too proud for their remittances for it makes its administration afloat and on going.

Ok, Yols, chill out.The most common cause of young athletes dying are due to some few factors. The most common is congenital disorders of the heart. This can be due to abnormal physical or electrical problems. Direct trauma to the heart (chest) can start this. A ball thrown at the chest with as little as 40 mph (as compared to major league pitchers throwing at the speed of 90+) can cause electical problems that can change the heart rhythm when hit at the right moment. Normally, the heart is beating at 72 times per minute. It will give time for the heart to load and then push the blood out to the circulation every time it beats. Now think of the heart beating 300 per minute. There would be no time for the heart to load the blood and then squeeze it to the circulation. Yes, exercise can induce to certain people problems with breathing and also allergic reaction. Drug abuse in some people can also do this.

Why - midadalan labat - why not stay put and join the fray? Now, to answer your question as I know how. If a woman jumps into bed with a man, it doesn't mean to say he's one hell of an specimen or rich enough to burn her social needs, or to test how he brags he's a tiger in bed, but that pain in the groin should be greeted with satisfaction even how fleeting the moment is. No love, no in-betweens. This' what we call .... one night stand. After the shots were fired - fold the tent, and walk off into the sunset. Alright! I poke my nose in every wife's predicament seems like yours. Why a husband diverges from the promise of - "to love and to hold till death do us part"? Is the physical attraction gone - the fresh/lovely flower he picked from the meadow is now wilted and dry to the touch? Is the dish on the menu cold and monotonous enough to find another kitchen? Is your approach to that churchly promise circumvented by the continuous yackety-yackety-yak? If a wife falls in these categories ..... kiss your marriage goodbye unless you'd got your husband by the neck.

My heart sank as I read TP’s and KB’s posts. Are women ready to sell their soul for a few bucks and is it that common? The men who enable these women to do what you guys say they are doing, what do we call those? I’d like to think that these women are exception to the rule, and not the other way around, just like AG says. It’s not called the “oldest profession” for nothing. It’s been around and is probably practiced in the open more so than in the past, but to say it’s as common as taking midterms at the high school level? Humor me on this issue because my fuse is really short this morning, and I should probably just stay away from this computer if I know what’s good for me… . Economics be damned. Yes, I know the dire state of a lot of our town folks in the Philippines. I see it with my own two eyes often enough, but I also see a lot of people riding on this idea that everything is blamed on the economy. They will themselves to being victims of the economy and victims they shall. Those little carenderias that blot the roadside, do you ever wonder why there are so many these days? I asked a lady behind a counter and a few of her customers why that is and their answer was unanimous. They claim it’s cheaper to go out and buy a ten peso worth of “aluto lan nakan nen say mangaliw ka ed tindaan insan mo ni iluto.” Ten peso of pising is one ladle of ingisan mongo beans with malungay spread on a saucer to make it look like it’s more than what it really is. If you’re craving for any dish with meat, it’s twenty and up. One whole fried pantat is 60-80 pesos while you can buy raw pantat for 35-40 pesos. One of those gas tank used for stove is about 300 php but firewood is still free. How much would it cost them to grow their own vegetables like we did and our parents before us did? Do you see any backyard/frontyard with vegetable patch when you walk up and down your barrio? ____ On another note, KB, how does an 18-yr-old, member of the varsity football team die of a heart attack? I can’t wrap my brain around that for some reason, nor a 23-yr old young man and his mother being killed by a drunk driver.

Some 25 years ago, I was in hot discussion with our local paper when someone ran an article about child prostitutes in the phil. Just like you,I felt maligned and was ready to defend the reputation of our women-folks. Little did I know that the writer was right. TP was stating his opinion from his observation and has no intention of insulting our women. Just like he stated,the apparent change in behaviour does not have anything to do with sudden change in morals. Women who indulge in this (most of them anyway) do it for one reason, and that is economics. Case in point, you can go to any high school and come tuition fee time, There would be girls available to trade sex for money. I will bet my big kaldero of pising in this matter. I state this not because I'm holier than thou but is just reality, sad but true. Many of our women do not have a choice.

Your grim assessment of the sex trade situation is probably out of context. I don’t go to the Philippines often as you do but by just using a theoretical calculation, the women involved are just infinitesimally small. Of course there is poverty, hardship, unemployment but decency is still around even among the poor people. In my hometown of 150,000 population, there was only two places of ill refute, if calculated based on the population, it would not even show in the graph. What you wrote tarnished the refutations of our relatives we left behind especially the women. There are always places of ill refute even here in the USA. Decency is ingrained as a human character because of how they evolved.

I agree all along with how KB looks at the present day mores of our women in PI. The situation is mostly aggravated by the economic condition all over the country. Unemployment rate is too high which I see as over 50% or more of the entire population. Whoever is employed is not making much to support a family of 5 adequately but just merely surviving from hand to mouth existence. So young women go to far away provinces where no one they thought knew them and sell their bodies to whoever has the cash. Look at the Japanese and the Koreans males who makes a sizable population of sex tourist because our women are vulnerable and easy to find. The Philippines as in Thailand are the sex capitals of Asia. Our women don't just get attach with men because of love and affection especially in the sextrade. Our world has turned around in an island of black rock vice the pearl of the orient and going on in an unstoppable decline in morals and poverty. For all you women in this forum the way you express your ideas and opinion are pretty normal in contrast to the women you left behind. At least your economic condition is far superior than them and truly you maintain your monogamous relationship with your partner.

To the sexperts in this MB, I find your discourses both interesting and fascinating. Surely you have done your homework as each of you can discuss this topic with elan no doubt fueled by your observations and personal experiences (specially BnP, he he he!). My thinking though is that you might be dating yourselves. Yes, during our time, this may be true but not anymore. At least in the Phil, My observation (not personal experience as BnP is wont to say) is that the sexual mores have significantly loosened. Women now follow the dictum "go with the flow". The difinition of who is the hunter and who is the huntee is now blurred. The guy who has the prettiest girlfriend does not mean that he is the most-guapo or the most-articulate,it is now measured in how thick your wallet is or how powerful one is. Power and money have always been, and forever be the female viagra.

First of all, congratulations because you are a Homo Sapiens with a brain. If you were a Chimpanzee, you would probably dive to bed with Adonis at first sight because of instinct, because chimps, being the distant cousins of humans have less brains and have not achieved the genetic change for behavior and speech. Hehehe. Beautiful or handsome for both male and female, is seen by different cultures in different ways, but there is an botttomline factor that influenced the criteria, and it is called economics. People have lust over beautiful individuals but behavior ( inhibition) acquired with culture controls their actions. If Adonis controls a woman’s decision, then the woman loses her self image and self respect and she is no longer in control of herself, just using her instinct not brains. What do we call her?

How true is the statement, “A woman gets love for sex and man get sex for love- or- a man give sex for love and a woman give love for sex.” Will someone expound on this for I am confuse of its real meaning. I am waiting for an answer from the well reasoned ladies here.

What a woman could/would be seeing to lose control of her sexual appetite? She goes completely blind when everything animalistic about her goes ballistic. What can a man offer in return? Nothing! A man good enough will not offer or promise anything, because even a small show of it, is treacherous. It's a moment to moment thing. A solution should be given to address a situation as it arises. You can't jump the gun or you'll drown in your own spit.

To be or not to be - that's the question. As premised, is the sight of an Adonis/manly specimen would make a woman's heart flatter, goose bumps all over her, cold sweat in her brow, seering pain in her groin, fireflies dancing in her sight could be overpowering? It depends on how intense the desire that could be had or couldn't - meaning how consuming the need. A woman is hard to please sometimes but not all the time. A woman could be heads over heels in the meer show of intelligence - witty and charming? It's not the cosmetic appearance of a car, that makes it desirable to ride on - it's elementary . . . how the engine performs. What then you call a woman who can appreciate the likes of Adonis, enjoys what she sees yet shudders at the thought of a relation? Is she a hypocrite? No! She's hitched and not in love enough or she's groping in the dark looking for something impossible to find. But, impossibilities are possibilities not yet done. It remains to be seen.

Let me start with the premise – a man is not a man who is not attracted by a beautiful woman who passes by him. If he sees a beautiful woman and the woman agrees to sleep with him, there is no second guessing of what his decision will be. Reverse the situation – as in Alumna’s question – a woman sees a hunk, appreciate what she sees, but the moment that hunk ask her to sleep with him, a full print of her palm may land on his face. This is true it is because the woman is in better control of her emotion than man. The men sometimes think with his secondary head and that would bypass all reasons. That in my book is not hypocrisy for expression of appreciation is different from desire. That is perfectly ok with me, and I will find such not demeaning to a woman.

Suppose you see this good looking hunk, an Adonis, trophy; woman stares, eyes wide open, checking out arms, abs, obet and the rest. But for a few, looks is cosmetic. These, check out what intelligence he has if he got any; then a few checks out his kind heart. A woman is hard to please and each is according to her standards. A man you can say as Claudia puts it are visual creatures, if it looks good, it must be good, must taste good. They worry about the consequences later. A wise woman weighs her thoughts, options. What then can you call a woman who can appreciate the likes of Adonis, enjoys what she sees yet shudders at the thought of kissing or having sex with Adonis? Is she being a hypocrite? Now let's hear the wise men of this forum...

When a female chimpanzee is in heat, she will have sex with a lot of the male chimps in her tribe. She does it to achieve what is called a confused paternity, a smart way to make the male chimps love her baby as his own. She is not a nympho but she is just using her instinct for preservation. Human beings probably acted like that before 50,000 ago before a evolutionary genetic change occurred in behavior and speech. Along the way, humans were able to recognize right from wrong based on their experience and their thinking process. Inhibition is one of the behaviors developed, if you lost your inhibition, you go down the lower level of the animal kingdom (or just insane ). When a woman becomes a nympho, she either lost her inhibition by doing what the female chimp does ( instinct)or just becomes a mental case. Re the womanizer, he could either be a casual womanizer or a permanent ( regular) womanizer but whatever category he is in, he has appetite for a lot of relationships with several women, not necessarily at the same time. Men of long time ago who had several wives and concubines were not considered womanizer because they were accepted by the society for a reason, to propagate the specie when it was necessary to increase the tribe, but because of the overpopulation, that mindset is obsolete. Btw, there is a tribe in the Himalayas where it is accepted that a woman could have two husbands, any of the girls would like to move there? hehehe.

In this issue, if it happens to men, it also happens to women. It's paralellism! Fifty years ago, it's impossible to see women wearing ...... tight fitting jeans ...... breast inhancing bras .... but now, lo and behold, the in-thing to show the curves of a well-rounded behind that will make men's eyes popped out, the breast pushed up to look like cantaloupes piled-up at Wal-Mart. Well, it will be hard sometimes to understand why these kinds of entertainment proliferates to cater to women's taste. Like anything on-the-line, women has the wilder urge to get what they want if so they desires. What a woman wants, a woman gets! And nothing in this world can stop it. And something to have on fire in a moments notice for a one night stand, is not that easy to acquire inside a bar/night club .... here comes the prostidudes. The service served is within that parameter .... sex without love ... the possibility of commitment's curtailed . Likened riding in a train in Bahnhoff. Pay your fare arrive at Aachen, get off it, and wait for another to come by. It seems cold in the approach, but who said life isn't a bitch.

I agree with Alacran; the therapeutic benefit gained is enjoyed equally on both sides. But let me dissect RHS definition of womanizer here. He stated that womanizer is someone that had many casual sexual encounters. The operative word here is “casual” which intimates indiscriminate. Therefore, anyone who pursued his interest with a desired woman who does not casually engage in such – and the intimacy is accomplished with great involvement of courtship and when the interest subsides, he moves on to another who captures his interest is not a womanizer. Similarly, women who availed of such tradition must not be considered less reputable. Sometimes you have to try different grove to find the perfect pawl. When I stated that subscribe to the culture of engaging the other person to ensure the perfect “pawl” Yols stated, “Speak for yourself.” This tells me that she did not subscribe to that practice. She sometimes applies mathematics in her logic – that response contradicts her rationalization; for the mathematical process employs precise argument and in human relationship – it is the correct practice that makes it perfect. How could you accomplish that without the trial and error method? I request the ladies here to respond to my question. We men had been justifying what seems to be the most rationale approach – and the ladies enjoyed the comfort of judging the flaws of our ways. If no response from our counterpart – I will understand that they also approved of my theory; I will also understand that many of them leave it to fate that Mr. Right will come along without the full engagement theory (that is without testing the product first).

Is womanizing can be construed as having excessive sexual desires in lieu of casual sexual encounters? To make ends meet, it could be soundly agreed upon, that such a condition can be applied without medical prejudice. But, to call a woman a nympho, is quite excessive in its present form, on the contrary, when this word is administered, it becomes a disease in a maniacal state, where the uncontrollable urge tramples everything moral. Case in point – In the city Beatty, Nye County, NV, 120 miles northwest of Vegas, the Licensing and Liquor Board signed-off allowing the Shady Lady Ranch start hiring men to service women with discriminating tastes. The world of the oldest profession went up a notch in the struggle to have a piece of the economic action. Also, the introduction of a word that will make Webster roll in his grave …… prostiDUDES. Now, let’s get down to basics. If a woman comes to avail of this privilege in using different studs – is she a nympho? No! I rather call her ….. a prolific woman gladiator.
