CONGRATULATIONS TO TRUBLUE! He was able to crack our challenge. He said, it was accidental! Is it really? I kind of don't believe you na.... :) THE ANSWER IS: NOTHING! NOTHING has 7 letters. NOTHING preceded God. NOTHING is greater than God. NOTHING is more evil than the devil. All poor people have NOTHING. (but this depends on what poor or nothing means to you) Wealthy people need NOTHING. (I don't agree with this. Rich people need SOME MORE, I heard:) If you eat NOTHING, you will die.

I usually don't look at Forwarded emails especially those that have big attachments. But while I was trying to empty my Inbox this morning, I came across this particular one that was forwarded to me by an online buddy from Tampa, FL. I think this is a very unique art and worth sharing. Enjoy! Attention: The artists are Women! :)

I noticed (in case you did not)  that I have been neglecting my blog.  There are a few reasons and heaps and heaps of excuses but you don't  need to know my excuses! :) Actually, I have been neglecting many things lately.  One reason is something like this: It's 42 minutes past midnight and I am halfway down the Philippines and still awake and thinking.  The reality is that, I was in a fork until a few days ago.  I needed to make a lot of major decisions (well, not really a lot, just one) that will affect my and my husband's future.  For a few years now, there has been an on-going discussion regarding further academic training for me and my husband. This year, the discussion has been brought to the front and was mulled over and over by major players.  It was agreed that Bong and I will go to Canada Institue of Linguistics (ACTS, Trinity Western University, BC, Canada) for me to get another Master's degree--this time in Linguistics and ...

I flew from Manila to Cagayan de Oro last Wednesday to help some friends with the technical aspect of their translation. I'm flying back home tomorrow. Before I left Luzon yesterday, I promised myself that I'm not going to blog anything about this trip because I don't want another Mindanao blog when I just have written one recently. Besides the trip started pretty uneventful. Teka nga't makatagalog para di maintindihan nung iba :) Si Ginoong Sitaw: Kanina, nagkita kami ng kapatid ko sa SM CDO. Nanood kami ng Mr Bean (na kasabay ay Pirates...). Hindi ako lulong kay Mr. Bean, kumukunot ang noo ko pag pinanonood siya ng mga tao sa bahay. Pero sabi ko kanina, gagawa ako ng isang bagay na imposible kong gawin, isa pa, yun ang gusto ng kapatid ko na nanggaling pa sa Zamboanga del Sur at dinalhan ako ng maiuuwing Wani (hindi mani) at lanzones. Sa kasamaang palad, napatawa naman ako ;) pero hindi yan ang dahilan kung bakit ako napasulat. Ang Magalang na Guwardiya: Pag...

Nope, I will not talk about Rizal's amazing book. I will talk about an Agta colleague of mine and her hair. One day, I greeted this lady with my version of Good Morning then I sat down across from her. For the first time in the few years that I've known her, she did not reply with a funny greeting of her own. I looked closer (I'm myopic and I wasn't wearing my lenses) and sure enough her eyebrows are almost touching just above the bridge of her nose. "Anong nakain mo?" (What have you eaten? meaning, what's the matter with you?) I asked her. "Nakakainis kase yung matandang puti ang buhok diyan sa kabila! Basta na lang ba naman sumulpot at nilamukos ang buhok ko!" (I am so upset with that old lady in the other room. Can you imagine her just appearing from nowhere and grab at my hair?) I started chuckling then. It was not the first time that she got upset about an incident of a stranger taking hold of her frizzy hair. Four years earlier,I myself mad...
