Buloy - Foreign Version

Buloy - Lyrics

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Naaalala mo pa ba
noong tayo'y nagsasama?

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Naaalala mo pa ba
ang iyong mga sinabi nung ako'y may problema?

Sabi mo, "lahat ng problema'y kayang lampasan,
basta't tayo'y nagsasama, at nag-iinuman!"

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Naaalala mo pa ba
nung akoy' ma-"kick-out" kasi daw ako'y tanga? (TANGA!)

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Naaalala mo pa ba
nung ako ay mapalayas ng aking ama't ina?

Mangiyakngiyak na'ko pero sabi mo ay "Okay lang yan!
Basta't tayo'y nagsasama, at nag-iinuman!"

Kaya naman ako bilib sa iyo kasi parang napakatibay mo.
Lahat ng iharang ay kaya mong daanan
basta't mayroong bentang alak diyan sa may tindahan!

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Naaalala mo pa ba
nung araw na na-dedo ang aso mong si Morlock?

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Naaalala mo pa ba
nung ika'y tumawag sa'min at ika'y umiiyak...

Tapos (pagkatapos) no'n, kay tagal mong nawala.
Nagulat na lang ako nung marinig ko ang balita.
Akala ko pa naman na marunong kang magdala,
nalaman ko na lang na ika'y nagpakamatay na...

Hoy Buloy
Nasaan ka man, siguradong kawawaka, malamang walang alak diyan
Hoy Buloy
Nasaan ka man, siguradong hindi ka namin malilimutan

Hoy Buloy Buloy Buloy
Hoy Buloy Buloy Buloy

Hoy hoy, Buloy
Para bang nalimot mo na ang iyong mga sinabi nung ikaw ay buhay pa...

Shoelace Designs

2009-09-24T10:31:00.018+04:00

A.) HOW TO DO THE LADDER STYLE?

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets
2. The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe
3. The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe
4. At the top set of eyelets, the laces can once again cross over and pass under the straight section as shown. This not only looks consistent with the rest of the lacing but also forms a High Lace Lock, which tightens the lacing even more firmly.

B.) HOW TO DO THE ZIPPER STYLE?

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets
2. The ends are looped back under the lace where it feeds under the side of the shoe
3. The ends are then crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe
4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

C.) HOW TO DO THE DOUBLE BACK STYLE?

1. The lace runs straight across the second set of eyelets from the top of the shoe
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets, skipping the third set
3. Continue down the shoe, two sets of eyelets at a time
4. At the bottom, run the laces vertically between the bottom and second from bottom eyelets
5. Double back and work your way back up the shoe through the vacant sets of eyelets.

D.) HOW TO DO THE LOOP BACK STYLE?

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets
2. The left (red) end is spiralled up the left side of the shoe, with the end fed under and emerging from each eyelet
3. The right (orange) lace is spiralled up the right side of the shoe, at each eyelet looping through the left lace in the middle of the shoe before feeding under and emerging from the next eyelet.

E.) HOW TO DO THE BUSHWALK STYLE?

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets
2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, is fed into and runs straight across the second set of eyelets
3. Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before feeding in two eyelets higher up
4. Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time
5. At the top of the shoe, the laces end up on the same side and the shoelace knot is tied at that point.

F.) HOW TO DO THE SAWTOOTH STYLE?

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets
2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, emerges from and runs straight across the second set of eyelets
3. The other end (red end) runs diagonally underneath and, skipping the 2nd set of eyelets, emerges from and runs straight across the 3rd set of eyelets
4. Continue running each lace diagonally across and up 2 sets of eyelets until one end (orange as per sample) reaches the top right eyelet
5. The other end (red as per sample) then runs straight up the left side to emerge from the top left eyelet.

G.) HOW TO DO THE FOOTBAG STYLE?

1. The lace runs straight across and emerges from the third set of eyelets from the bottom
2. Both ends run straight down and are fed into the second set of eyelets from the bottom
3. Both ends again run straight down and emerge from the bottom set of eyelets
4. Both ends now run straight up along the outside and are fed into the fourth set of eyelets (the first vacant pair)
5. The ends are crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe
6. Repeat step (5) until both ends reach the top.

H.) HOW TO DO THE DISPLAY STYLE?

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets
2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe
3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.

I.) HOW TO DO THE HASH STYLE?

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets
2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets
3. Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets
4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.

J.) HOW TO DO THE TWISTIE STYLE?

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets

L.) HOW TO DO THE RIDING BOW STYLE?

1. The lace is run diagonally and emerges from the bottom left and the top right eyelets
2. The top (red) end of the lace is zig-zagged from the top set of eyelets down to the middle eyelets in a similar manner to the Shoe Shop Lacing
3. The bottom (orange) end of the lace is similarly zig-zagged from the bottom set of eyelets up to the middle eyelets.

M.) HOW TO DO THE CHECKERBOARD STYLE?

1. Start with two pairs of different colour laces, preferably the wide, flat variety
2. With one colour (orange as per sample), lace the shoe using either Straight (Fashion) or Straight (Lazy) Lacing
3. With the other colour (red as per sample), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top
4. Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom
5. Continue across the shoe until you're out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first
6. Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.

N.) HOW TO DO THE LATTICE STYLE?

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets)
3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set of eyelets
4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets)
5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets

You have 14 styles to try with and to suit yourself everyday when it comes to shoe laces. Mine, I prefer to use combination of 2 designs, it's nice!

Advice for Couples

2009-08-26T11:27:00.003+04:00

To all couples tested through the test of time by the ups and downs of their relationship and to those who just have entered the married life.

Something to ponder on...

1. LAGING TANDAAN NA KAYO AY REGALO NG DIOS PARA SA ISA’T ISA

Remembering that your spouse is a gift from God is a healthy thing to do. It will somehow help you avoid thinking that your spouse is just a chance; worst, a mistake. Totoo naman talaga na ang asawa ay regalo ng Dios. Ang asawa ay hindi lang napulot kung saan. Ang asawa ay hindi galing sa impakto. Lalong hindi siya hulog ng impiyerno. Ang asawa ay regalo ng Dios. Laging tandaan na ang mga regalo ng Dios ay mabuti. Ang asawa mo ay isa sa mga mabubuting regalo ng Dios sa iyo.

2. IPAKITA AT IPADAMA ANG PAG-IBIG SA PARAAN GUSTO NIYA.

May mga mag-asawang nagsabing:

"Hindi ko ,maramdamang mahal ako ng aking asawa."

Ang dahilan- hindi siya minamahal sa paraang gusto niya. Baka naman kasi hindi sinasabi sa asawa kung paano niya gustong mahalin. Hindi masama at lalong hindi nakakahiya na sabihin sa iyong asawa kung paano mo ibig mahalin. Malaking tulong din kung tatanungin mo ang iyong asawa kung paano niya gustong mahalin. Lalo kang mamahalin ng asawa mo kung mamahalin mo siya sa paraang gusto niya.

3. SA ARI-ARIAN AT PERA HUWAG MAG KANYA-KANYA

Sa mag-asawa, ang ari-arian ng isa ay ari-arian ng dalawa. Walang "akin, akin." Walang "sa’yo, sa’yo". Lahat "atin ito." Ang perang kinita ng isa ay pera ng mag-asawa.

If in marriage the man and the woman were one flesh, then what is owned by one is owned by the other.

Kaya huwag nang magtaguan pa. Ilabas na ang perang pinaakaka-ipit- ipit sa pitaka.

4. SHOWER EACH OTHER WITH LOVE..

Diligin ninyo ng pag-ibig ang isa’t-isa para sumagana ang pagsasama. Ang maayos at matatag na pagsasama ng mag-asawa ay hindi nagaganap nang basta basta ito ay parang halaman na inaalagaan at dindiligan. Pag-ibig ang ipandilig, hindi masamang hinala, paninira, o pangungutya.

5. MAGING CREATIVE SA PAGPAPAKITA AT PAGPAPADAMA NG PAG-IBIG

Ang pagiging creative sa pagpapadama ng pag-ibig ay napakalaking tulong sa pagpapanatili ng init ng pagsasama ng mag-asawa. Kung nag-iisip para maging creative, may thrill, may excitement! Therefore hindi boring. Nakasasawa kung paulit-ulit lang. paminsan-minsan dapat mayrong konting pagbabago sa pagpapahayag at pagpappadam ng pag-ibig.

Halimbawa:

Kung lagi mo lang sinasabi sa asawa mo " I love you, " ngayon isulat mo sa magandang papel at ilagay mo sa magandang frame. O di ba creative?Kung laging papel at ballpen ang ginagamit mo to say " I love you" to your spouse, ngayon kung kaya mong magrent ng jet plane ipasulat mo sa ulap sa pamamagitan ng usok ang " Ilove you" addressed to your spouse.

From paper and pen. To sky and usok. Wow! Di ba creative? Maging creative, OK!

6. SHOW CONCERN ON THE INTERESTS OF YOUR SPOUSE.

Huwag lang himukin ang asawa na magpakita ng concern sa kung anung interests mayroon ka. Magkusa ka rin naman magpakita ng concern sa interests ng iyong asawa. Suportahan mo siya. Alamin ang paboritong sports ng iyong asawa at makipaglaro kung kaya mo rin lang. Makipag-usap sa asawa tungkol sa mga paksang gusto niya. Samahan ang asawa kung gusto niyang isama sa panood ng mga pelikulang gusto niya. Malaking tulong sa masayang pagsasama ang maging concern sa interests ng isat-isa

7. SATISFY THE SEXUAL NEED OF YOUR SPOUSE

Attend not only to your personal sexual satisfaction but also to the satisfaction of your spouse. Pag hindi mo sinikap na i-satisfy ang iyong asawa baka humanap siya ng ibang mag-sasatisfy sa kanya.

Misis:

· ihanda ang sarili para sa asawa.

· Maligo! Magpaganda! Magpabango!

· Huwag parang patay pag nakikipag "do."

Mister:

·Huwag tratuhing sex object ang asawa mo.

·Be gentle at huwag gawing pang-akrobatik ang misis mo.

·Magtootbrush ka! Maligo! Magpabango

· Paano gaganahan ang misis mo kung mabaho ang hininga mo, amoy lansangan ang ulo mo; amoy grasa ang katawan mo. Mahiya ka naman sa misis mo, no!

·Sikaping huwang maiwang bitin ang misis pag nakikipa "do."

8. AVOID RETIRING TO BED WITH UNSETTLED ILL FEELING

Ang paminsan-minsang ma-offend ng asawa o maka-offend ng asawa ay bahagi na ng buhay mag-asawa. Kung sakaling ma-offend ka muli ng iyong asawa, huwag mong hayaang makatulog ka ng may sama ng loob sa kanya. Huwag hayaang makatulugan ang galit sa asawa, baka kasi pag pagising mo patay ka na. Pangit mamatay na may kimkim na sama ng loob sa asawa. Kung balak mong bukas ay alisin saiyong dibdib ang samang dulot ng iyong asawa, gawin mo na ngayon baka bukas ay huli na.

9. BE GENTLE AND TACTFUL IN CORRECTING AN ERROR COMMITTED BY YOUR SPOUSE

Walang asawang perfect. Lahat nagkakamali.

If you need to correct an error committed by your spouse, be specific. Attack an error committed by your spouse not his "being". Approach your spouse gently and tactfully. Kung hindi ka magiging maingat at matalino sa pagtutuwid sa pagkakamali ng iyong asawa, ang pagtutuwid mo ay magiging sanhi pa ng lalong ikagugulo ng inyong pagsasama. Dapat lang na ituwid ang pag kakamali o kasalanan ng asawa. But make sure to do it intelligently, tactfully, and cautiously.

Remember: In making corrections, don’t forget to offer solutions.

10. MANALANGING MAGKASAMA

Sikaping huwag lumipas ang isang araw na hindi kayo nakapanalanging mag-asawa. Manalangin pakagising sa umaga at bago matulog sa gabi. Ang magkasamang pananalangin ay napakalaking tulong hindi lang sa "bonding" ng mag-asawa kundi maging sa pagharap rin nila sa problema. May mga problemang ang hirap lutasin ng "patayo". Subalit walang problema na hindi malulutas kung ang mag-asawa ay "paluhod" na mananalanging magkasama.

Tandaan:

Ang isang buong araw ng mag-asawa ay maaapektuhan ng ilang minutong magkasamang panalangin nila.

11. RESPECT YOUR SPOUSE’S NEED FOR PRIVACY.

Natural sa tao na minsan ay gustong mag-isa. Totoo ito maging sa mag-asawa. Recognize your spouse’s need for privacy and honor it. Dapat ring tanggapin ang katotohanang may mga bagay na para lang sa asawa at hindi dapat pakialaman ng kahit sino pa. At mayron din naming mga pagkakataon na may gagawin ang asawa na hindi dapat pakialaman o panghimasukan dahil insulto sa kakayahan pag siya ay pinakialaman. Kahit pa ng asawa niya.

12. TUMUPAD SA PANGAKO

Ang pangko galing sa asawa ay nagdudulot ng saya. Pero higit na ligaya ang madarama kung ang asawa ay tumutupad sa pangako niya. Huwag lang puro pangako. Tumupad ka! Liligaya ang iyong asawa, titibay ang pasasama, kung sa pangako tumutupad ka! POGI points at BEAUTY points ang pagtupad sa pangako sa asawa.

13. PAG NAGALIT, SIKAPING TUMAHIMIK MUNA.

Matalinong pagpapasya ang tumatahimik muna pag nagalit sa asawa. Ang tao pag galit ay may tendensya na makapanakit. Sino mang nasaktan ay may tendensyang manlaban at manakit din naman. Makatutulong na maiwasan ang away at pananakit, kung sa panahong ikaw ay galit, manahimik muna, MANALANGIN at mag-isip-isip.

14. IWASAN ANG PAGSIGAW SA ASAWA LALO SA HARAP NG IBA.

Ang pagsisigaw sa asawa lalo na harap ng iba ay isang tanda ng kakulangan o kawalan ng paggalang sa asawa. Pwera na lang kung bingi ang asawa, hindi tamang sinisigawan siya. Nababastos at namumukhang tanga ang iyong asawa kung sisigawan mo siya lalo sa harap ng iba. Siguro naman ayaw mong nababastos at nagmumukhang tanga ang iyong asawa. Kaya huwag mong sisigawan ang iyong asawa.

15. BE APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR SPOUSE’S TALENTS ANG ABILITIES.

Congratulations sa mga gumagawa nito. At ‘yong hindi gumagawa nito, magbago na kayo! Make your respective spouses happy and be an encouragement to them, help develop your spouse’s talents and abilities. Malaking kagalakan at encouragement sa iyong asawa kung isa ka sa mga taong nag-a-appreciate sa kanya. Marami ang nagtatampo o nagagalit sa asawa dahil hindi ina-appreciate ang kanilang talento at abilidad ng kani-kanilang asawa.

Appreciate the talents and abilities of your spouse. But more importantly, appreciate your spouse. DO IT NOW.

16. IWASANG PINTASAN ANG ASAWA.

Hindi madaling tanggapin ang pintas galing sa ibang tao. Lalong mahirap tanggapin kung ang pintas ay galing aasawa mo. Napakasakit nito lalo pa kung naririnig ng ibang tao. Imbis na pintasan ang asawa mo tulungan na lang siyang magbago. At kung may sasabihin ka sa ibang tao tungkol sa asawa, magagandang bagay na lang ang ikuwento, huwag ang kapintasan niya.

17. TULUNGAN SIYANG HUWAG MAGKASALA.

Mas madaling makaiiwas sa pagkakasala ang iyong asawa kung tutulungan mo siya. Sa paglaban sa tukso suportahan ang asawa. Laging alalahanin na ang pagbagsak ng asawa ay pagbagsak ng pamilya. Alamin kung ano ang laban ng iyong asawa. Laban mo rin ang laban ng iyong asawa kaya lubos na tulungan siya.

Hindi-"BAHALAKA." Ang kailangan –"SUPORTAHAN TA KA."

18. ANG GALIT SA IBA AY HUWAG IBALING SA ASAWA.

Kung sakaling nagalit ka sa ibang tao, halimbawa sa presidente ng kompanyang pinagtatrabahuhan mo, sa boss mo, o sa kanino mang tao na tinitingala mo na hindi mo kayang ipakita ang galit mo, huwag mong ibaling sa iyong asawa ang galit mo. Maging aware ka dito dahil pwedeng mangyari ito nang hindi mo namamalayan. Unconsciously you might transfer your anger with someone else to your spouse.

It happens to some.I pray it won’t happen to you.

19. WHEN YOU HAVE OFFENDED YOUR SPOUSE, LEARN TO SHOW YOU’RE SORRY.

Pag na-offend mo ang iyong asawa, kung talagang sorry ka, ipakita mo na totoong sorry ka. When you realized that you have wronged your spouse, don’t just say "I’m sorry." Show that you are really are sorry. Show it with your face and show it with your action. May mga nagsosorry sa asawa na habang sinasabi ang "I’m sorry" ay nakangisi. Lalo tuloy nabubuwisit ang asawa niya sa kanya. May mga nagsasabing "I’m sorry" sa asawa na wala namang pagbabagong makita sa pakikitungo sa asawa.

When you say you’re sorry, mean it. And show that you really are sorry.

20. FORGIVE.

Patawarin mo ang iyong asawa. Kailan? Pagnagkasala! Kahit pa gaano katindi ang kasalanang nagawa sa iyo ng asawa mo, patawarin mo siya para wala kang bigat na dinadala. Ang di-pagpapatawad ay nakasasakit ng ulo. Nakakapangit pa ito! Talo ang di nagpapatawad. Panalo ka kung magpapatawad ka. Ang pagpapanatili ng galit ay nagdudulot ng hinagpis at karaniwang humahantong sa pananakit. May galit ka pa ba sa asawa mo? Patawarin mo na siya.

The earlier you forgive when you get offended by your spouse, is better than best.

Tandaan:

Hindi optional ang magpatawad. Ang magpatawad ay utos ng Dios.

21. AVOID NAGGING

Nakakainis ang asawang nagger. Ayon sa ilang asawa ng nakausap ko:

"Lalo akong nagtatampo pag nina-nag ako ng asawa ko."

"Gusto kong sungangain ang bibig ng asawa ko

"Nanliliit ako and I feel stupid pag nina-nag ako sa asawa ko."

Ikaw, ano ang pakiramdam mo pag nina-nag ka ng asawa mo?

Kung may nagawang pagkakamali ang iyong asawa at gusto mong sabihin sa kanya, minsan lang itong sabihin sa kanya. At huwag idagdag pa dito ang mga dati pang mali na nagawa niya. Sa pagsasalita sikaping maging mahinahon, huwag pagalit, hindi nang-iinis o nanlalait.

22. HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.

Nakakapangit ang laging nakakunot ang noo. Sa mag-asawa kailangan ang ngiti at tawa. Can you imagine a couple without a sense of humor? Boring di ba? Ang lungkot ng buhay ng mag-asawa pag walang sense of humor. Parang laging may patay. It’s nice to make people happy especially your spouse. Have a sense of humor. Patawanin mo ang iyong asawa. Learn to crack good funny jokes. Dagdag ligaya kung ang asawa ay marunong magpatawa.

23. MANGARAP! MAGTIYAGA! MATALINONG GUMAWA.

Libreng mangarap. Mangarap kayong mag-asawa at magkasamang magplano tungo sa katuparan ng inyong pangarap. Walang challenge ang buhay kung walang pangarap sa buhay ang mag-asawa. Magkaroon kayo ng kaisahan sa inyong pangarap. Mahirap para sa mag-asawa ang walang isang pangarap. Walang tagumpay kung walang pangarap. Pero huwag lang puro pangarap. Baka bangungutin kayo kung puro pangarap lang. Maging masipag, at matiyaga. Magtrabaho nang husto, gumawa, at maging matalino sa paggawa.

24. MORE THAN WINNING THE ARGUMENT, AIM TO WIN YOUR SPOUSE.

Natural sa mag-asawa ang paminsan-minsan ay magkaroon ng argumento. Kung sakaling manyari ito sa inyo, aim on winning your spouse, more than winning the argument against your spouse. Aanhin mo ang manalo sa argumento kung mawawala naman sa’yo ang asawa mo. Sige, isipin mo.

25. MAGING ATTRACTIVE SA IYONG ASAWA.

Maraming asawa ang nahulog sa kandugan ng iba kasi hindi na attractive para sa kanya ang kanyang asawa. Huwag kayong magpabaya sa inyong itsura. Mag-exercise at iwasana ang walang pakundangang pagkain nang sobra para di masira ang inyong pigura. At sikapin na rin na maging mabango para sa asawa. Tanungin din ang asawa kung anong amoy at itsura ang gusto niya. Sundin ang gusto ng asawa para maging attractive sa kanya. I-attract mo ang iyong asawa baka kasi iba pa ang umattract sa kanya. Sige ikaw rin. Baka magsisi ka.

26. MAGING KONTENTO KAYO.

Delikado ang maaaring kahinatnan ng mag-asawang walang kakuntentuhan sa kung ano’ng mayron sila. Gulo ang kasasadlakan. Ano ba ang kailangan para maging kontento ang tao? Ang kasapatan ba ng lahat ng pangangailangan? Kung dito nakabase ang kakuntentuhan walang mag-asawang mauubusan ng pangangailan. Therefore, walang mag-asawang makukuntento. Hindi masama ang maghangad ng karagdagan para sa kinabukasan. Pero maging kuntento muna at magpakaligaya sa kung ano ang mayron kayo ngayon. Baka kasi hindi dumating ang bukas. Pag dumating ang "bukas," ang "bukas" ay naging "ngaun." Kaya kung ano mayron kayo, magpakaligaya at maging kuntento. Kung kuntento ka sakaling mamatay ka ngayon, maluwag ang iyong dibdib na ikaw ay papanaw at marahil nakangiti ka pa hanggang kabaong.

27. UMIWAS SA MGA SITWASYON NA MAARING MAGBUNGA NG MASASAMANG HINALA

Para hindi ka mapagbintangan na may ginagawang masama,iwasan ang mga sitwasyong kanina-hinala. Huwag kang magasasama o sasama sa hindi mo asawa sa isang lugar na makukwestiyon ang iyong pagsasama.

Halimbawa:

Sa loob ng pribadong sasakyan (dalawa lang kayo sa loob ng kotse);

Sa park ng pang magnobyo o pang mag-asawa; Sa loob ng hotel.

Mahirap paniwalan na ang isang lalake at isang babaeng galing sa loob ng hotel ay nagprayer meeting, nagkwentuhan, nagjack en poy lang. Mag-ingat! Umiwas!

28. BE GENTLE.

Gentleness to your spouse can be best exemplified by being considerate of your spouse’s feeling and thoughts. Bago mo gawin ang isang bagay o bago mo sabihin ang gusto mong sabihin isipin mo muna kung ano ang maaring bunga nito sa isip at damdamin ng iyong asawa. Hindi komo’t gusto mo ay gagawin mo na lang basta-basta. I-kunsidera mo naman ang isip at damdamin ng iyong asawa. Sa pagsasalita, sa gawa, maging sa paghipo at paghawak, maging gentle sa asawa.

29. BE PROUD OF YOUR SPOUSE

Ipinagmamalaki mo ba ang iyong asawa? Dapat lang! Proud ka bang nakikita ang itsura ng asawa mo o gusto mong takpan siya ng dyaryo habang ipinakikilala mo siya sa ibang tao? Huwag mong ikahiya ang iyong asawa. Be proud of your spouse. Huwag mong ikahiya nag iyong asawa.

30. IGALANG ANG OPINION NG ASAWA.

Ang lahat ay may karapatang magpahayg ng kanyang sariling opinion. Ito man ay mali o tama. Igalang ang opinion ng asawa. Kahit di ka sumang-ayon sa opinion ng iyong asawa ipakita mong iginagalang mo ito. Ang hindi pagkakapareho ng opinion ng iyong asawa sa iyo ay hindi nangangahuluganng mali siya. Hindi lahat ng naiiba ay mali . Pero kahit pa hindi ka sang-ayon sa opinion ng asawa, dapat pa rin na igalang ang opinion niya. Ang hindi pagsangayon ay hindi nangagngahulugan ng kawalan ng paggalang. Ang mahalaga, igalang ang opinion ng asawa. Tanda kasi ito ng paggalang sa kanya. Igalang ang asawa.

31. HUWAG MAGING "BOSSY".

Sa mag-asawa walang "amo." Walang boss. Dapat parehong naglilingkod sa isa’t-isa. The husband being appointed by God as head of the wife is not taken as "Lord over the wife." Hindi rin naman tama na ang wife ay hindi nagpapasakop sa husband. Huwag mong tratuhing alila ang iyong asawa. Pumarehas ka kahit pa mas malaki ang kinikita mo kumpara sa kanya. Kung uutusan ang asawa don’t forget the magic word-"PLEASE." At kung wala kang ginagawa at may ginagawa ang iyong asawa, huwag mo na siyang abalahin pa. kung kaya mo rin lang ang gagawin, huwag mo nang iasa pa sa asawa.

32. MAGING MAUNAWAIN.

Kung gusto mong lalo kang mahalin ng iyong asawa ipakita mong inuunawa mo siya. Totoong kailangan mo ang pang-unawa. Pero higit sa hanapin mo sa asawa ang unawain ka, mas unahin mo ang unawain siya. Sa bandang huli ang hinahanap mong pang-unawa galing sa iyong asawa ay ibibigay din niya. Ang pagpapkita ng pang-unawa ay malinaw na ebidensya ng pagmamahal sa asawa.

33. KEEP COMMUNICATION LINES OPEN.

Dapat lang sa mag-asawa na alamin at ipaalam ang kalagayan ng isa’t-isa. This will not happen if the couple will not keep their communication open. Basic indicators of good communication between a husband and wife:

Clear transmission of message- be it thoughts or feelings.

Listening- Don’t just butt in.

Understanding- seeing from the perspective of the one who speaks.

Empathy-feeling with.

Maraming problema ang maiiwasan ng mag-asawa kung laging bukas ang komunikasyon nila para sa isa’t-isa.

34. MAGING MAHINAHON SA PAG-UUSAP PAG MAY PROBLEMANG NILUULUTAS.

Walang problemang di malulutas sa mahinahong pag-uusap. Sa totoo lang, maraming problema ang hindi na sana lumala pa kung sa pag-uusap ay naging mahinahon ang mag-asawa. Hindi makakatulong sa paglutas ng problema kung nagsisisihan ang mag-asawa. Magpokus sa solusyon huwag sa pagkakamali o sa problema ng isa’t-isa. Iwasan din ang pangungutya at magtaas na tono pag nagsasalita. Bahagi rin ng pagiging mahinahon ang paggamit ng mga tamang salita.

35. LET YOUR SPOUSE KNOW YOUR FEELINGS AND THE PREDICAMENT YOU ARE IN.

Tell your spouse not only your thoughts but also your feelings. Letting your spouse know your feelings and the predicament you are in will somehow help your spouse act accordingly. Ewan ko lang kung nakakabasa ng isip ang asawa mo, hindi naman manghuhula ang asawa mo para malaman niya ang iniisip at nararamdaman mo. Sa panahong nanghihina o nagdaramdam ka, magandang sabihin ito sa asawa. Huwag sarilinin ang pagdurusa. Dahil ang mag-asawa dapat magkasama sa hirap at ginhawa. Walang silbi ang asawa kung sa panahon ng pagdurusa ay hindi nakikiisa. Pero mahirap malaman ng iyong asawa ang lagay mo kung hindi mo ito sasabihin sa kanya.

Huwag mahiya.

Huwag mag-alala.

Magsabi ka sa asawa.

36. IWASANG ISUMBAT ANG MGA NAKALIPAS NA PAGKAKAMALING NAGAWA NIYA.

May mga taong pag nagalit sa asawa ay binabalik-balikan ang matagal ng pagkakamaling nagawa ng asawa. At pauli-ulit na isinusumbat ito sa kanya. Pag ganito ng ganito, sisikip ang mundo ng iyong asawa at baka marapatin pang iwan ka niya. Ang kasalanang pinagsisisihan na ay hindi na dapat isumbat pa. pag may bagong nagawang pagkakamali ang iyong asawa, huwag mong isama iyong mga luma na. walang kahihinatnang maganda ang isumbat sa asawa ang pagkakamaling lipas na.

37. IWASANG GAWIN ANG ANO MANG BAGAY NA ALAM MONG IGAGALIT NIYA.

May mga asawa na talagang nananadya. Tahasang ginagawa ang mga bagay na alam na ikagagalit ng kanyang asawa. HUWAG GUMAYA SA KANILA. Yon naman eh… kung ayaw mong masira ang pamilya. Hindi lang asawa ang masamang epekto pagtahasang ginagawa mo ang alam mong nakasasakit sa iyong asawa. Maaaring gantihan ka ng iyong asawa at pati ang anak mo, maaaring gayahin ka at tahasan ring saktan ka. Huwag gawin sa asawa ang mga bagay na ayaw mong sa iyo ay gawin niya.

38. SA PANAHONG NANGHIHINA ANG LOOB NG ASAWA, MAGING SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT PARA SA KANYA.

May mga panahon maaaring manghina ang iyong asawa gawa ng kinakaharap na problema. Maging katuwang ka sa pagresolba ng problema at huwag na maging pabigat pa. Kung kailangang magsakripisyo para makatulong-magsakri pisyo! Kung kailangang tumahimik para makatulong- manahimik! Gawin mo ang magagawa mo para matulungang malutas ang problema ng asawa. Be a source of encouragement .

39. IWASAN ANG PAKIKIALAM SA MGA BAGAY NA INAARING PERSONAL NG IYONG ASAWA.

Personal letters, text messages, bag at pitaka, at iba pang mga bagay na inaaring personal ng iyong asawa, huwag mong basta-basta babasahin, kakalkalin, at pakikialaman.

40. MAGTIWALA

Ang pagpapakita ng pagtitiwala sa asawa ay malaking tulong tungo sa magandang pagsasama. Kung noon ay niloloko ka ng iyong asawa ang magtiwala sa kanya ay maaring maging tulong tungo sa pagbabago niya. Para sa isang naglolokong asawa hindi madaling gawin ang magbago lalo kung walang tulong na manggagaling sa kanyang asawa. Kung sakaling sa kabila ng ipinakita mong pagtitiwala sa iyong asawa ay niloko ka pa rin niya, alalahanin mong sa iyo ay walang nawala. Sa iyong asawa ay marami ang nawala. Sa pagtitiwala, walang nawawala. Sa manloloko, marami ang nawawala.

41. MAGING BEST FRIEND KA NG ASAWA MO.

"Ako ng asawa mo." Yes!" tinuturing ka bang kaibigan ng iyong asawa?

Sagot pls.________ _________ ______

Sa hanay ng mga kaibigan ng iyong asawa, "Ikaw ba ay kinikilala ng iyong asawa ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan?"

Sagot pls.________ _________ _________

"Asawa mo, best friend ka ba?"

sagot pls.________ _________ _________ _

Dapat matalik na kaibigan ka ng iyong asawa.

Mas dapat…PINAKAMATALIK.

42. HUWAG GAWING KATATAWANAN ANG KAMALIAN, KAKULANGAN, AT KAIBAHAN NG IYONG ASAWA.

Lahat ay nakakamali, lahat ay nagkukulang. Lahat ay may kaibahan. Walang taong matutuwa pag pinagtatawanan ang kanyang kakulangan, kamalian, o kaibahan. Tahasang pangungutya sa asawa ang pagtawanan ang kaibahan o pagkakamali niya. Hindi tama na ginagawang biro ang pagkukulang, o mga bagay na hindi pangkaraniwan sa asawa.

Gaya ng:

Kuntil sa tenga,

Putol na daliri o sobra sa sampu ang daliri,

Ilong na parang tapon,

Kulay ng balat,

Butas ng ilong na mukhang garapon,

At iba pa.

Huwag pagtawanan ang kamalian, kaibahan at kahinaan ng asawa. Iwasang pagtawanan ang asawa.. Baka gulpihin ka o kaya baka mawalan ka ng asawa.

43. MAGING MAKA-DIOS.

Sa pagsasama ng mag-asawa ang pagiging maka-Dios ang pinakamahalaga. Ang pagiging maka-Dios ang siyang magdadala sa mag-asawa sa isang matibay na pagsasama at totoong pagkakaisa. Natural sa mag-asawa ang datnan ng iba’t-ibang problema. Pagka maka-Dios ang mag-asawa mananatiling matatag ang kanilang pagsasama kahit gaano katindi ang problemang kinakaharap nila. Ang ikinatatag ng ugnayan ng mag-asawa ay hindi nakadepende sa dami ng pera o sariling kakayahan ng mag-asawa. Ang ikinatatatag ng relasyon ng mag-asawa ay nakadepende sa Dios na siyang pundasyon ng pagsasama. Sa panahong tahimik o may kaguluhan, panahong tag-init o tag-ulan, maging maka-Dios ka at ang iyong asawa.

44. BE ATTENTIVE PAG MAY SINASABI SIYA SA IYO.

Di ba pag kinakausap mo ang iyong asawa gusto mo nakikinig siya? Gusto rin ng asawa mo na pakinggan mo siya pag kinakausap ka niya. Di ba ayaw mo na may ginagawang kung anu-ano ang iyong asawa pag kinakausap mo siya? O di ganon din ang gawin mo. Huwag kang gumagawa ng kung anu-ano pag kinausap ka ng asawa mo. May mag-asawang mukhang magkausap silang dalawa. Mukha lang pala. Dahil ang kausap nila ay sari-sarili pala at hindi ang isa’t-isa. Nakakabanas! Di ba?

Babala: Huwag silang tularan.

45. IPAKITA AT IPADAMA NA MAHALAGA ANG IYONG ASAWA.

Sarap ng pakiramdam kung feeling important ka di ba? Ang asawang nakadama na siya ay di mahalaga sa kanyang asawa ay nag-mumukhang aba, nahahabag sa sarili, at nagiging madrama. Ipakita at ipadama na mahalaga sa iyo ang iyong asawa. Masarap kasama ang taong sa iyo ay nagpapahalaga. marami ng mag-asawa ang naghiwalay dahil sa kawalan ng pagpapahalaga sa isa’t-isa. Ipakita at ipadama na mahalaga sa iyo ang iyong asawa.

46. IIWAS SA SELOS ANG ASAWA.

Maraming mag-asawa ang nag-away at nasira ang buhay dahil sa selos. Marami ang nasiraan ng bait, pumatay at napatay dala ng matinding pagseselos. Natural na magselos kung kaselos-selos. magtaka ka kung may dapat pagselosan sa’yo ang iyong asawa tapos hindi siya nagseselos.. Ang pinakamaganda, iiwas sa selos ng asawa. Kung sakaling hindi sinasadya may nagawa ka o kaya may nagawa ang iba na napansin mong ipinagseselos sa iyo ng iyong asawa, ayusin agad. Huwag patagalin pa. linawin ito at sikaping huwag maulit pa.

Tandaan: Ang selos ay parang lason. Naninira, nakamamatay.

47. HUWAG SABAT NANG SABAT KUNG ASAWA MO ANG KAUSAP NG IBA.

May mga asawang sabat ng sabat kahit hindi siya ang kinakausap.Turn off ka ba sa asawang sabat ng sabat? Correct ka diyan! Nakakaturn-off talaga ang asawang sabat nang sabat kahit hindi kinakausap. Kaya ikaw, iwasan ang pagsasabat-sabat kung asawa mo ang kausap. Kahanga-hanga ang asawang di palasabat.

48. MAGSAMA AT MAGKAISA SA PAGGAWA NG DESISYON.

Sa paggawa ng desisyon dapat lang na magkasama at nakakaisa ang mag-asawa. Sa mag-asawa, hindi tamang isa lang ang gagawa ng desisyon lalo pa kung maselan o major decision ang gagawin. Kagaya ng:

Paglipat ng bahay,

Pagbili at pagbebenta ng ari-arian,

Pagdisiplina sa mga anak,

At iba pa.

Bago gumawa ng desisyon dapat lang na ang mag-asawa ay nag-uusap muna at nananalanging magkasama. Daan ito tungo sa pagkakaisa.

49. HUWAG KALIMUTAN ANG MGA ARAW NA PINAHAHALAGAHAN NG IYONG ASAWA.

Hindi dapat makalimutan ang mga araw na pinahahalagahan ng iyong asawa lalo na ang birthday at wedding anniversary. Give your spouse a special greetings on special occasions. Better still, give your spouse a treat on special occasions. Gawin mo ito sa asawa mo. Sigurado ako, LOVE points ang bunga nito.

Remember: Don’t forget!

50. BE RESOLVED TO LIVE WITH YOUR SPOUSE ALL YOUR LIFE.

Ang relasyon ng mag-asawa ay panghabambuhay. May kasabihan: "Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi parang kaning isusubo at iluluwa pag napaso." In solving marital problems, lot of solutions can be considered as the options. God hates divorce. God intends marriage to be for life. Maraming mag-asawa ang naghiwalay na. Marami na sila. Hindi na kayo dapat dumagdag pa. Magsama kayong mag-asawa sa lungkot at ligaya, sa hirap o ginhawa, meron o walang pera, hanggang may hininga.

Remember:

What God has joins together, Let no man separate.

End of Contracts

Edouard Canlas aka End of Contracts is the songwriter-programmer of the two albums "Ain't It Oui" and "Lost Loser on A Losing Streak" both written and recorded in his own home-studio.

"Ain’t It Oui Album is a joyride through diverse musical templates, from ambient, dreamy indie pop (“Morningsong”) to Midnite Vultures-period Beck-like disco (“Sexier Than Sadie”), some triphop territory, to fuzzfests like “Abrasive Invader”, and just cartoony, playfully hallucinatory romps (“Blame Mary” and “White Dresses and Pink Panties”) that are evidence of how same freaky parts of Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour have permanently scarred little Endo’s psyche."

"In 2005, Endo followed up with Lost Loser on a Losing Streak. A melancholy energy runs through this 10-song collection and bizarrely starts off a composition that has all the decided aural elements of a karaoke hit— from those cheesy synths (the chords barely get away with a semblance to a Rey Valera song) to even cheesier drums, and melodramatic choruses of “… Ang tamis ng iyong halik at alam mo na…” which suddenly drifts into vaguely obscene territory."

LOST LOSER ON A LOSING STREAK ALBUM
10 Tracks + 1 bonus hidden track

1.) alamona
2.) alligator
3.) anticlear
4.) beach rain
5.) boys vs. girls 88
6.) dead again
7.) karaoke rock squad
8.) lost loser on a losing streak
9.) tulog (s. remix) - feat hitman ravalo
10.) yokona
11.) clone me now (bonus hidden track)

One of my personal pick from Lost Loser on A Losing Streak album is the song Alamona. If you have seen the movie Boso of Epi Quizon and Katya Santos, this song was featured in that movie.

Listening to the song as it plays, some may guess that it's Ely of Eraserheads whos singing but it's not. Anyway, just try to listen on the music Video of the song I have attached so you can check with yourself. Enjoy!

ALAMONA Video and Lyrics

Sinabi ko sayo na okey lang
Hindi naman ako seloso at alam kong may iba ka ng
Kinakasama dyan sa buhay mo

Hindi naman ako demanding sa schedule mong puno
At nandito lang akong maghihintay
Kahit pa number 2 basta’t walang humpay

Ang tamis ng yung halik at ang alam mo na
Ang paghimas sa aking puso na pambawi mo
Sa oras na hindi akong kasama mo kundi iba
Ang magising sa iyong piling dahil sa umaga na

At aalis ka na naman patungo na
Magbabalik sa tunay mong mundo
At magpapangap na okey, at kumpleto ang lahat sa piling nya
Kailan kaba magigising at tuluyan ng maging akin

Ang tamis ng yung halik at ang alam mo na
Ang Magising Sa Iyong piling na wala ka ng iba
Ang Haplos ng iyong kamay at ang alam mo na
Ang tuloy tuloy mong agos na animo’y lawa na

Sinabi ko naman sayo na okey lang
Hindi naman ako seloso at alam kong may iba ka nang mahal

Ang tamis ng yung halik at ang alam mo na
Ang Magising Sa Iyong piling na wala ka ng iba
Ang Haplos ng iyong kamay at ang alam mo na
Ang tuloy tuloy mong agos na animo’y lawa na
(Repeat 2x)

Philippines Independence Day Celebration!

2009-06-10T11:00:00.009+04:00

The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in the Philippines, where Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo (later to become the Philippines' first Republican President) proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain after the latter was defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.

The declaration, however, was not recognized by the United States or Spain, as the Spanish government ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in consideration for an indemnity for Spanish expenses and assets lost.

The United States recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila. Independence Day was observed in the Philippines on the July 4 anniversary of this event until, upon the advice of historians and at the urging of nationalist politicians, President Diosdado Macapagal signed Republic Act No. 4166 into law on August 4, 1964, designating June 12, which had previously been observed as Flag Day, as the country's Independence Day.

The Proclamation Day

The declaration, in the form of a proclamation, in the presence of a huge crowd, was done on June 12, 1898 at the ancestral home of General Emilio Aguinaldo between four and five in the afternoon in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, some 30 kilometers South of Manila. The event saw the unfurling of the National Flag of the Philippines, made in Hong Kong by Mrs. Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herboza, and the performance of the Marcha Filipina Magdalo, as the Nation's National Anthem, now known as Lupang Hinirang, which was composed by Julian Felipe and played by the San Francisco de Malabon Marching band.

The Act of the Declaration of Independence was prepared and written by Senior Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista in Spanish, who also read the said declaration. A passage in the Declaration reminds one of another passage in the American Declaration of Independence. The Philippine Declaration was signed by ninety-eight persons, among them an American army officer who witnessed the proclamation. The proclamation of Philippine independence was, however, promulgated on the 1st of August, when many towns had already been organized under the rules laid down by the Dictatorial Government of General Aguinaldo. The final paragraph states that there was a "stranger" (stranger in English translation — etranger in the original Spanish, possibly meaning foreigner) who attended the proceedings, Mr. L. M. Johnson, described as "a citizen of the U.S.A, a Coronel of Artillery".

The June 12 proclamation was later modified by another Proclamation done at Malolos, Bulacan, upon the insistence of Apolinario Mabini, who objected to the Original proclamation, which essentially placed the Philippines under the protection of the United States.

Philippine Independence

Philippine Independence Day (Araw ng Kasarinlan, Araw ng Kalayaan)

June 12, 1898 - Declaration of independence from Spain
July 4, 1946 - Date of Independence from US

History

The event was led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in his mansion on June 12, 1898. The flag of the Philippines, which was made in Hong Kong by Marcela Agoncillo, was first flown in that event. It is also where the Philippine National Anthem, composed by Julian Felipe, was first played by the San Francisco de Malabon band. The song was played under the name Marcha Filipina Magdalo, later renamed as Marcha Nacional Filipina.

The Official Flag of the Republic of the Philippines.The Philippines celebrated its Independence Day every July 4, the date in 1946 that the United States granted independence to the nation, until 1962, when President Diosdado Macapagal signed the Presidential Proclamation No. 28, changing the official celebration to June 12, the date in 1898 that Emilio Aguinaldo declared the nation's independence from Spain. Officially naming June 12 as Araw ng Kalayaan (Independence Day) and July 4 as Republic Day and Philippine-American Friendship Day.

On June 12, 1998, the nation celebrated its centennial year of Independence from Spain. The celebrations were held simultaneously nationwide by then President Fidel V. Ramos and Filipino communities worldwide. A commission was established for the said event, the National Centennial Commission headed by former Vice President Salvador Laurel presided all events around the country. One of the major projects of the commission was the Expo Pilipino, a grand showcase of the Philippines' growth as a nation for the last 100 years, located in the Clark Special Economic Zone (formerly Clark Air Base) in Angeles City, Pampanga.

This year, we commemorate the 111th anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence with theme "Kagitingan, Kagalingan at Kasipagan Tungo Sa Tunay Na Kalayaan.". Administrative Order No. 259, urges us Filipinos to Unite and Celebrate the freedom and liberty of our nation on June 12, 2009. Nasaan ka mang parte ng mundo, mabuhay tayong mga Filipino!!!

Miss Universe 1969 - Gloria Diaz

2009-05-31T09:25:00.009+04:00

Ang pagpanalo ni Gloria Diaz ng 18th Annual Miss Universe Beauty Pageant (held in Miami Beach) noong 1969, ay isa sa mga most memorable moments na hindi makakalimutan ng marami sa atin. Parang biglang nabuhay ang mga tao at muling nabigyan ng pagasa ang simpleng mamamayan.

Sa linggo ng kanyang pagpanalo, nagpadala ng sulat si President Nixon which read: "When America conquered the moon, the Philippines conquered the Universe!" Kahit saan ka pumunta nakatutok ang lahat sa kanilang mga tv sets at ini-replay ang pageant na paulitulit ng ilang linggo.

Dito nagsimula ang totoong hilig ng pinoy sa mga beauty pageants. Lahat ng mga barrio at baranggay ay nagpakulo ng kanilang sariling local pageants, at ginagaya ng lahat ang pagpanalo ng beauty queen. Si Gloria Diaz ang isa sa mga unang nagbigay insperasyon sa mga pinoy; at sa taong iyon nakatutok ang buong mundo sa ating bayan. For the first time in history, nagkaroon tayo ng isang tinaguriang: "World Class Beauty".

Why Is Crying Good For You?

2009-05-31T08:01:00.005+04:00

Do you know that crying can be a good medicine for stress? This was found out in a study conducted by experts in America. Based on the research, crying lightens one’s feelings, and people with positive attitude towards crying have a very slim chance of developing ulcer, colitis, and other stress related diseases.

Randolph Cornelius research on weeping established that crying was an important means of releasing physiological tensions; if it wasn't released, it would find an outlet in some other way such as affecting the person's body and possibly causing disease.

Dr. William H. Frey II, a biochemist, found out that tears have a complex chemical composition more that others think. Researchers found out that there is a big difference between tears caused by joy, anger, and sadness and tears caused by irritation. Based on research, emotional tears contain more substances that our body develops whenever we are under stress. And this is hazardous to one’s health. Because of this, it is believed that crying is an effective way of eliminating wastes in our body because tears remove these stress-related substances. This is the reason why a person feels better after crying. Also, according to reports, tears caused by emotional outbursts have higher protein concentration, which cures emotional stress.

Crying that is triggered by emotional pain is not something that one should be ashamed of, inasmuch as this is but one natural physical process, which is very helpful in easing one’s pain. One psychotherapist said that, “Crying is good for the soul. It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper.”

Shiatsu Massage

2009-04-25T12:12:00.003+04:00

Shiatsu massage treats common psychological and physical complaints by pressing pressure points. Proponents believe it alleviates disorders such as depression, anxiety, nausea, stiffness, headaches, arthritis, cramps, or pulled muscles. This Japanese equivalent of the Chinese method of acupressure comes from the Japanese words "shi" and "atsu," meaning "finger pressure."

Shiatsu massage, sometimes called Zen shiatsu, unifies spiritual, philosophical, and medical aspects of the body. Some westernized massage techniques are combined with the view that energy, qi or chi, circulates along channels called meridians. When freely flowing, chi brings fresh, strong energy and carries away spent energy along with toxins. In this view, any number of influences upset our natural balance of yin and yang. Blocked or diverted chi must be cleared and restored. An Eastern perspective doesn't cite sleeplessness, indigestion, swollen joints, headaches, or depression as sources of discomfort, but sees them as symptoms of either hyperactive or underproductive chi.

A shiatsu masseuse first makes his or her diagnosis, assessing where chi flows healthily and where it may be siphoned or obstructed. They will ask if you have any specific ailments, and then do light massaging to feel which pressure points are stiff or tender. These pressure points lie along fourteen meridians running the length of your body. Once diagnosing your problem areas, the masseuse gently but firmly applies pressure using his or her fingers, knuckles, thumbs, palms, toes, feet, knees, and elbows.

Two meridians are central, drawing chi through your torso: the Governor along your back, and the Conception down your front. The other twelve meridians occur in mirrored pairs along the symmetric halves of your body. These do not only directly control organs; rather they are associated with the function and symbolism of each organ. These meridians are named the stomach, small and large intestine, spleen/pancreas, liver, gall bladder, kidneys, bladder, heart, lungs, sex, and triple heater.

When visiting a practitioner of shiatsu massage, wear thin, loose, comfortable clothing, such as cotton or linen. Expect to lie flat on the floor, a beaded mat, or a futon, so your muscles relax as much as possible. Be prepared to tell the masseuse what you would like worked on. If you have headaches, try to remember if they occur in the morning, after eating spicy food, reading for a long time, or vigorous exercise. Make sure to inform the masseuse of any westernized medical treatment you are receiving, as well.

Most people enjoy shiatsu massage as much as they enjoy deep tissue massage, but expect some differences. Shiatsu will involve deep breathing, rotating and stretching your joints, as well as manipulating pressure points. When these points are pressed, people describe the sensation as feeling tender, tickling, intense, or slightly uncomfortable, unlike anything else. After the massage, you may feel strange, but not sore as in a muscular tissue massage. Many believe Shiatsu is both preventative and healing, so getting it done on a regular basis, along with stretching, exercise, and a healthy diet, may improve your health.

Habits & Health

2009-04-23T15:15:00.003+04:00

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing
malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air
decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain
efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

************ *******

Main Causes of Liver Damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil.
Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done)Foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Because :

Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals
(detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 am :
detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be
a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am :
detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood...

Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late!!!

>Di sasagutin ni Yumi ang tanong.

>

>

>

>JIGS (Magsasalin ng wine) Bakit naman botique?

>

>YUMI Hoy madaya ka na ha? Hindi pa ako lasing. Ako na’ng magtatanong.

>Iinom si Jigs. Magsasalin siya ng bago.

>Tahimik.

>

>

>Magsasalin ng wine si Jigs kay Yumi.

>

>

>JIGS Yung crush ko kasi…siyempre, sino pa ba? E di yung

>

>

>YUMI Nge. Subjective yon no! Para sa’kin ang pinakagwapo si

>YUMI (Tumatawa pa rin) Talaga?

>

>

>JIGS Sige, pagtawanan ba?

>

>

>YUMI You can say it to my face, I won’t bite. Bakit hirap na

>

>JIGS Okay, 1 point ka na…

>

>YUMI (Ngiti) Gee…thanks. Flattered naman ako. At kailan naman

>

>JIGS Sorry, my turn to ask. (Ngingiti) Who is your crush in the barkada…NOW?

>

>

>YUMI E ginaya mo lang yung tanong ko e.

>

>

>JIGS Hinde no. May qualifier ako. Ang sabi ko, NOW. Ang tanong

>mo, first crush ko.

>

>

>YUMI Korni pa rin. Alam mo, kung basketball ?to, tambak ka na.

>

>

>JIGS Just answer the question.

>

>

>YUMI Siyempre wala. I told you, I don’t have time for these stuff.

>Kakabreak ko lang di ba?

>

>

>JIGS Korni mo namang sumagot.

>

>

>YUMI E korni yung tanong e. Pero kung talagang-talagang

>kailangan kong sumagot…hmmm…teka…sino nga ba? Sino ba’ng crush material sa

>barkada? Wala akong maisip e. Ikaw na lang.

>

>

>JIGS Yung seryoso naman.

>

>

>YUMI Seryoso ako. Ayaw mo yata e. Sige, iba na lang…

>

>

>JIGS E napipilitan ka lang e.

>

>

>YUMI Uy! Pa’no ba’yan? MU na tayo? Crush mo ko, crush kita…yiheee

>

>(Tatawa).

>

>

>JIGS Dati pa yon no!

>

>

>YUMI Ay? Di mo na ko crush? Bakit, na turn-off ka? Ano namang

>ginawa ko? Tsk. Tsk.

>

>

>JIGS Is that your question na?

>

>

>YUMI Oy, hinde! Ito naman…di ba pwedeng mag-follow-up?

>

>

>Iinom ng wine si Jigs.

>

>

>YUMI Fine. Heres a little juicy question: Describe your first kiss.

>

>

>JIGS That’s not even a question.

>

>

>YUMI Arte mo. O: How was your first kiss like?

>

>

>Matatawa si Jigs.

>

>

>JIGS Wet.

>

>

>YUMI Yuck!

>

>

>Magtatawanan sila.

>

>

>JIGS Alam mo, aksidente yung first kiss ko. Close kasi kami nung

>isa kong kaibigan. Pag naggu-goodbye ako sa kanya, parati ko siyang

>kini-kiss sa noo. E one time, sa gym habang nagpapahinga, nakaupo siya

>sa sahig. Tinatamad siyang tumayo. So bumaba ako nang konti para

>halikan siya sa noo kasi pauwi na ako. E siya naman, para maabot ko,

>medyo tumingala. E sakto, sa lips ko siya nahalikan. Pareho kaming

>nagulat. Pero di pa kami naghiwalay agad. Weird nga ang feeling e.

>Parang may glue. Ayaw na namin maghiwalay pareho…

>

>

>Tawa pa rin si Yumi

>

>

>YUMI Awww. Ang sweet naman. Parang sa pelikula. Si Krissy ba to?

>

>

>JIGS Hindi. Hindi mo siya kilala.

>

>

>YUMI So what happened? Nagkatuluyan kayo?

>

>

>JIGS Nope.

>

>

>YUMI Ha?

>

>

>JIGS Ewan ko ba. Complicated kasi yung situation namin e. May boyfriend

>siya noon. Ako naman, takot pa sa isang relationship. Pero at least,

>na-discover namin na pareho pala kaming may gusto sa isa’t isa. Pero

>hanggang doon na lang.

>

>

>YUMI What happened after?

>

>

>JIGS We talked about it. We both decided na it wont work. Tapos,

>bigla na lang, hindi na kami nagkikita. And then, I met you guys, iba na ang

>barkada ko.

>

>

>YUMI Nakakatuwa naman.

>

>

>JIGS Ikaw, pa’no yung first kiss mo?

>

>

>YUMI Ikaw ang nagturo sa akin ng game na ito di ba? Bakit ba lagi

>mong bini-break ang rules? Di mo na pwedeng tanungin yan!

>

>

>JIGS Tine-testing ko lang kung lasing ka na. (Iinom ng wine)

>Okay, naka-warm-up na ako: What was the naughtiest thing you ever did?

>

>

>YUMI ?Yan ang mga tanong! Ano bang ibig mong sabihin ng naughty?

>

>

>JIGS Bahala kang mag-define.

>

>

>YUMI Hmmm…marami e…(matatawa) baka maeskandalo ka.

>

>

>JIGS Kanina ayaw mo ng korni. Ngayong medyo exciting naman…

>

>

>YUMI Eto na…I had two boyfriends at the same time.

>

>

>JIGS (Nagulat) Hala.

>

>

>YUMI I was with Joel and Zach at the same time.

>

>

>JIGS Yikes. Alam ba ni Joel?

>

>

>YUMI Kaya nga kami naghiwalay nun e. Nahuli ako (matatawa).

>

>

>JIGS Ano namang pumasok sa kukote mo’t ginawa mo yon, aber?

>

>

>YUMI Nag-eexperiment lang ako. E sa type ko sila pareho e.

>Anong magagawa ko? Saka para may thrill. Alam mo yon? Yung patago kang

>nakikipag-date sa isa para di mahuli. Everyday pa akong nakakalibre,

>kasi, alternate sila! (Tatawa) Akala nyo kayo lang mga lalaki ang

>pwedeng gumawa non?

>

>

>JIGS How can you love two guys at the same time?

>

>

>YUMI Who said something about love? Walang kinalaman ang love

>dun. I was…having fun!

>

>

>JIGS Nainlove ka na ba, ever?

>

>

>YUMI Nakakailang tanong ka na? It’s my turn.

>

>

>JIGS Don’t you want to answer the question anyway?

>

>

>YUMI My turn!

>

>

>JIGS Kulang ka pa sa wine. (Tatawa)

>

>

>Ubos na ang unang wine bottle. Kukuha si Jigs ng isa pa sa ref.

>

>

>JIGS Ang bilis nating uminom a.

>

>

>YUMI Are you still a virgin?

>

>

>JIGS Whoa! Where did that come from?

>

>

>YUMI That’s my fourth question.

>

>

>JIGS (Magsasalin ng wine sa mga baso). Ano sa tingin mo?

>

>

>Ngingiti si Jigs. Tititigan lang siya ni Yumi.

>

>

>YUMI Don’t tell me, wala pang nangyayari sa inyo ni Krissy

>hanggang ngayon? Ilang taon na ba kayo?

>

>

>JIGS Mag-tu-two years na sana next week.

>

>

>YUMI So virgin ka pa? I don’t believe it!

>

>

>JIGS Mukha ba akong tarantado?

>

>

>YUMI Mukha kang nagpapaiyak ng babae e.

>

>

>JIGS Insulto ba yon?

>

>

>YUMI Compliment yon, tanga.

>

>

>JIGS Ah, okay. Thanks.

>

>

>YUMI Pero, you mean, you never felt the urge to do it?

>

>

>JIGS Alin? Sex?

>

>

>YUMI Wow! Nasabi rin niya!

>

>

>JIGS Of course I always feel it. Natural lang yon sa tao no?

>Nasa iyo na lang yan kung ano’ng gagawin mo sa urge na yon.

>

>

>YUMI E natural naman pala e. Bakit mo pinipigilan? I mean, pag

>naiihi ka, iihi ka. Pag nagugutom ka, kakain ka. Pareho lang ?yon, di ba?

>

>

>JIGS Pag naiihi ka, iihi ka dahil kailangan mong umihi. At hindi

>ka iihi kahit saan. Pupunta ka sa banyo. Pag nagugutom ka, kakain ka

>dahil kailangan. At hindi mo kinakain ang lahat ng pagkain na ihain sa

>iyo. Pag di ka gutom, di ka kakain. Pag di mo gusto yung pagkain, di

>mo gagalawin. Ang aso, pag may nakitang pagkain diyan, walang

>tanung-tanong. Lalamon yan.

>

>

>YUMI And sex is the same?

>

>

>JIGS Lahat ng bagay, nilalagay sa lugar. May context. At least,

>yun ang nagpaiba sa atin sa aso.

>

>

>YUMI Grabe ka namang magsalita. Para mo na ring sinabing lahat

>ng nakikipagsex, aso ah!

>

>

>JIGS Sinasabi ko lang, pag wala sa tamang konteksto, mali.

>

>

>YUMI And what is that context?

>

>

>JIGS Matanda na tayo. Ayokong maging preachy. Alam na natin yan.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>JIGS Kaso, kahit alam na natin, minsan di pa rin natin ginagawa.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>JIGS Masarap e. Sino bang ayaw nun?

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>YUMI (Medyo nairita) So feeling mo santo ka at dapat kang

>i-congratulate for being a virgin!

>

>

>JIGS Sinasabi ko lang ang pinaniniwalaan ko. Ineexplain ko lang

>kung bakit di ko ginagawa. May kanya-kanya tayong dahilan. Di ko pinipilit

>kahit kanino ang mga paniniwala ko…No need to get so cross about it, Yumi.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>JIGS It’s not about being a virgin or not. It’s about putting

>things into their proper places.

>

>

>YUMI I’m not arguing with you.

>

>

>JIGS Me neither. I’m just answering your questions.

>

>

>Matagal na katahimikan.

>

>

>Ngingiti si Jigs. Titignan niya si Yumi na medyo nairita sa nakaraang

>train of conversation nila. Magsasalin siya ng wine para kay Yumi.

>

>

>JIGS Nasobrahan ka na yata sa wine e. (Tatawa) You still wanna

>go on with the game Nine pa lang tayo, eleven more to go. (Ngingiti)

>

>

>YUMI Shoot me.

>

>

>JIGS Who was your first lay?

>

>

>YUMI (Hahampasin ng unan si Jigs) Ang bastos mo talaga! So

>inaassume mo na hindi na ako virgin?

>

>

>JIGS E sabi mo kasi, walang thrill ang game pag walang nananalo

>e. So I guess I’m winning. Saka wala naman akong inimply na ganun a! I’m just

>hitting two birds with one stone. Kasi kung virgin ka, e di simple

>lang ang sagot: wala. Kung hindi naman, e di sino?

>

>

>YUMI Ang daya mo.

>

>

>JIGS Akala ko ba ayaw mo ng korning tanong.

>

>

>YUMI You think I’ll answer that after giving your sermon, Father Jigs?

>

>

>JIGS Ano ka ba? Inexplain ko lang yung personal reasons ko. Kung

>ano man ang sa iyo, I’ll respect them as well as I know you respect mine.

>I’m no saint. I’m just trying to get to know you better. (Ngingiti)

>

>

>YUMI How do you do that?

>

>

>JIGS Alin?

>

>

>YUMI I should have walked out on you kanina pa pero the way you

>say things…parang bumabaliktad sa’yo…makes you more…charming. Kung

>ibang tao ka siguro, di na kita kakausapin.

>

>

>JIGS You can’t walk out. We’re locked here for three days except

>for meals.

>

>

>YUMI So I’m forced to like you para di masira ang vacation ko.

>(Ngingiti)

>

>

>JIGS You don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want.

>

>

>YUMI I guess I’ll be honest with you as you were honest with me…

>

>

>Tahimik. Iinom ng wine si Yumi.

>

>

>YUMI Di mo siya kilala. His name was Robert. He was my first

>boyfriend. It was Senior Prom Night. Alam mo na…typical senior prom story.

>Everyone wants to lose it on prom night. Everyone thinks na pag prom

>night, it was something special. We went out sa hall nang maaga. We

>made out sa kotse niya. One thing led to the other. Tapos, yun…yun

>na. We went back just in time for the awarding of the prom queen.

>Guess what, I won pa. (Mahinang tawa)

>

>

>JIGS What was it like?

>

>

>YUMI Now that I look back, it isn’t as special as I thought it was.

>Pero it was different then. Back then, we were just led by our

>passions. Alam mo yon? Andun ka na. Hormones raging wild. Passions and

>Ideals are confused. Akala mo love, yun pala, curious ka lang pala.

>Akala mo yun na yon. Akala mo you are in-love at lahat ng gawin mo

>tama. Lahat ng gawin mo perfect. Everything was magical…well,

>almost.

>

>

>JIGS Almost…?

>

>

>YUMI Sa next question mo na yan. Ako na.

>

>

>JIGS (Pabiro) Wine pa? Kulang ka pa yata e.

>

>

>YUMI Nilalasing mo ko no? May balak ka sa’kin no? (Tatawa)

>

>

>JIGS Is that your question? Sasagutin ko na. (Tatawa)

>

>

>YUMI Engot. Hindi yon. Here’s something na curious lang ako.

>Kasi I’ve been hearing things…saka you’ve hinted on it na rin kanina…Are you

>still with Krissy?

>

>

>JIGS Hindi na.

>

>

>YUMI Since when?

>

>

>JIGS Two, maybe three weeks ago?

>

>

>YUMI Sino’ng nakipag-break?

>

>

>JIGS Pareho kami.

>

>

>YUMI Why?

>

>

>JIGS Maraming dahilan, actually. Naisip na lang namin na it won’t work.

>Isa na don, magkaiba kami ng gustong mangyari sa buhay. Magkaiba kami

>ng mga pinaniniwalaan.

>

>

>YUMI Like what?

>

>

>JIGS Marami.

>

>

>YUMI At ngayon mo lang nalaman iyon after two years with her?

>

>

>JIGS People change, Yumi.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>JIGS Right before graduation, she asked me to move in with her.

>

>

>YUMI Talaga?

>

>

>JIGS Sabi niya, doon na naman din daw papunta ang relasyon

>namin. Might as well practice na raw for the real thing. Tutal, she’s working na

>naman, ako naman bagong graduate, we should try out na raw living

>together if it’ll work for us.

>

>

>YUMI Natakot ka sa arrangement?

>

>

>JIGS Hindi naman sa natakot. If you love someone, ano pa’ng

>ikakatakot mo, di ba?

>

>

>YUMI E bakit umayaw ka?

>

>

>JIGS It’s just that, it’s not my thing.

>

>

>YUMI Sabi na nga ba e, bakla ka no? Sinasayang mo ang

>opportunities!

>(Matatawa)

>

>

>JIGS Hindi ako oportunista. At lalong hindi ako bakla.

>

>

>YUMI Fine.

>

>

>JIGS Naisip ko lang na hindi pa pala ako handa sa mga ganitong bagay.

>Wala pa sa isip ko ang ganon. Na-shock siguro ako sa reality na iyon

>na nga ang next step sa relationship namin. I mean, two years of being

>together and knowing each other, we’re practically ready to get

>married, if you know what I mean. Pero I realized, I’m not ready for

>any of these. Narealize ko how immature I am. Na iba yung ideals ko

>two years ago sa ideals ko ngayon. I need to mature some more to get

>into this thing’I mean, getting married. Diyos ko, ilang taon lang ba

>ako…

>

>

>YUMI Maturity has nothing to do with age.

>

>

>JIGS But it has a lot to do with time.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>JIGS So I thought, bakit kailangan ng practice mode? Ibig

>sabihin, pag sumablay kami, split na kami? Live like a couple

>minus the commitment?

>Pa’no pag nawala na yung magic? Goodbye na?

>

>

>Iinom ng wine si Jigs.

>

>

>JIGS Kung kasal na, kasal na. Wala nang practice. I think that’s

>the real cowardice. Yung i-try muna natin kung it will work kasi takot

>kayo na baka hindi maging successful ang outcome. Saan na napunta ang

>excitement ng buhay? Kaya nga kayo in-love, para sabay kayong humarap

>sa totoong buhay, sa hirap at ginahawa, di ba? (Matatawa) Hindi yung

>pagpapraktisan muna ninyo para siguradong ginhawa lang.

>

>

>Magkikibit-balikat lang si Jigs.

>

>

>YUMI Are you always like that?

>

>

>JIGS Like what?

>

>

>YUMI So cerebral in everything. Kahit pagdating sa relationships.

>

>

>JIGS Life is too precious para lang daanin sa trial and error.

>

>

>Ngingiti si Jigs. Tahimik.

>

>

>YUMI So, No hard feelings?

>

>

>JIGS Friends pa rin kami. She still calls me up nga sa bahay e.

>

>

>YUMI That’s nice.

>

>

>JIGS Kayo, bakit kayo nagbreak ni Carlo?

>

>

>YUMI That’s your sixth na ha?

>

>

>JIGS Sure.

>

>

>YUMI Alam mo, ironic para sa akin yung break-up namin ni Carlo.

>And the funny thing was, it was about…sex. Uy, sa atin lang ito ha?

>

>

>JIGS Of course.

>

>

>YUMI Kasi nga, I was looking for that magic nga di ba? I wanted

>to be in a relationship na special naman. So of all the boyfriends I had, sa

>kanya lang ako walang sexual relationship. As in nag-aabstain talaga

>ako. Kasi parang naisip ko, para magkaroon naman ng meaning yung

>making love di ba? Parang, dapat di mo parating ginagawa, at

>ginagawa mo lang when you are sincere with yourself and with your

>partner. So I was investing muna emotionally. And I was actually

>starting to care about him. Yung, hindi ko na iniisip yung sarili ko.

>Yung siya lang ang inaalala ko. Akala ko perfect na…

>

>

>JIGS Ano’ng nangyari?

>

>

>YUMI Patunayan ko raw na mahal ko siya. Magbigay daw ako ng

>proof. Pagbigyan ko raw siya. Sabi ko sa kanya, hindi pa ba sapat na proof

>yon? Na I’m saving myself for that right moment, that special moment

>between us? Alam mo’ng ginawa? Nilayasan ako!

>

>

>JIGS You deserve someone better.

>

>

>YUMI Talaga!

>

>

>YUMI Isipin mo, kung kelan naman I grew tired of meaningless

>sex, when I’m looking for the real thing, saka naman mawawala. Ang ironic ng

>buhay no?

>

>

>JIGS That’s the way we must learn.

>

>

>YUMI Alam mo, kung tutuusin, never ko pang na-experience yung

>tunay na mag make-love. And I had to go all through those relationships para

>lang ma-realize yun. At least, ngayon, alam ko na ang hinahanap ko.

>

>

>Iinom ng wine.

>

>

>YUMI Ikaw ba, importante sa’yo na virgin ang mapapangasawa mo?

>How do you see virginity ba?

>

>

>JIGS Alam mo, di ko pa napag-isipan yan. Pero now that you’ve

>mentioned it…It doesn’t matter kung virgin ang mapangasawa ko o

>hindi. Of course I value virginity a lot. I treat it as the only real

>gift I could give to my wife to be. Imaginin mo na lang di ba, kung

>wife ko ang una ko. It’s like the perfect wedding gift I could give to

>her. Pero kung siya hindi na virgin, I wouldn’t care. As long as mahal

>ko siya. Kasi I don’t expect her to give me the same gift. I don’t do

>something because I expect people to do the same to me. Ibigay niya sa

>akin ang sarili niya nang buong-buo, sapat na sa akin yon. Masaya na

>ako sa ganoon.

>

>

>YUMI (Mapapangiti si Yumi.) You know, that’s the nicest thing I

>ever heard from a guy. That’s why I always enjoy talking to you. You always

>say the nicest things.

>

>

>JIGS Wow. Salamat. E ikaw, is making love to you

>equal to love?

>

>

>YUMI I always took sex and love as opposite ideas. I mean, after

>the first time na…you know…sa Senior prom. Kasi afterwards, we broke

>up na ni Robert. Tapos naisip ko, yun na ba yung love? Baka hindi love

>yung naramdaman ko. Baka napagkamalan ko lang siyang love. I was just

>after the pleasure of intimacy. And then I felt empty. So empty.

>That’s why I wanted to change. I wanted to believe in making love.

>And I’m still looking for it. Yung magic. Yung feeling mo, tao ka

>pala. I never felt that kahit isang beses. Men have penetrated my body

>but never my soul. And I wanted that. I wanted someone to touch my

>soul. To make love to my soul through my body. Pero siguro, naging

>numb na’ko sa dami ng relasyong pinagdaanan ko. Hindi ko alam kung

>mararanasan ko pa iyon. That’s why I envy you.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>YUMI Sa tingin mo may pag-asa pa ako?

>

>

>JIGS You still have your soul…(Ngingiti)

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>YUMI With whom would you want to experience it?

>

>

>JIGS Of course, sa asawa ko.

>

>

>YUMI I mean, someone in particular. Take it as my seventh

>question. So give a name.

>

>

>JIGS A name? Hindi ko alam. Basta kung sino ang magiging asawa ko.

>

>

>Tahimik. Magkikibit-balikat si Yumi. Iinom ng wine.

>

>

>JIGS Well, I always thought na it was Krissy. And then, it was

>just gone. Of course I loved her. And I still do. Pero the magic was just

>gone after we both found out na magkaiba kami ng mga prinsipyo sa

>buhay.

>

>

>Tahimik.

>

>

>JIGS My turn?

>

>

>YUMI Shoot me.

>

>

>JIGS Tell me something…a secret. Yung wala kahit isang

>nakakaalam.

>

>

>Matagal na katahimikan.

>

>

>JIGS You trust me naman di ba?

>

>

>YUMI Well, you’ve earned it, alright.

>

>

>JIGS Saka wala akong tinatago sa’yo. Sinagot ko lahat ng tanong

>

>

>YUMI I uhm…

>

>

>JIGS Yes…?

>

>

>YUMI I need more wine.

>

>

>Magsasalin si Jigs ng wine.

>

>

>JIGS Take your time. We have less than fifty hours to go.

>

>

>Iinom ng wine si Yumi.

>

>

>YUMI I’ll tell you something no one in the world knows except

>one other person. And that person probably forgot all about me already.

>

>JIGS (Pabiro) What? You had sex with a stranger?

>

>

>YUMI Ano ka ba?

>

>

>JIGS Biro lang. Seryoso na.

>

>

>YUMI (Mag-iisip) I want someone whom I could talk to… Yung

>makukwentuhan ko ng mga sikreto ko. Yung may sense makipag-usap. Yung

The Other Half of Famous Twins

The Other Half of Famous Twins
by Amy & Nancy Harrington, GetBack.com

Celebrity TwinsBoth Charlie Sheen's wife and Jenna Jameson had twin boys recently; they join the growing ranks of celebrity parents with multiples, including Julia Roberts and Brangelina.

When these little twin bundles of joy grow up, will they be the next Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen? Or will one seek fame while the other chooses a quieter life? That's the path taken by a number of celebrities and their not-so-famous twins. In fact, we were surprised to find out how many stars have a twin sibling leading a very different life.

Kiefer Sutherland and his sister Rachel.

Maybe it's because we think of him as the ultimate loner on the TV series "24," but we were shocked to find out that Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister. Rachel is a post-production supervisor working in film and television in Toronto. But when her big brother, Kiefer, (he's seven minutes older) made his feature film directorial debut in 1997, Rachel was there for him. She acted as second assistant property master, grip, and costumer when Kiefer went behind the lens to shoot "Truth or Consequences, N.M."

Scarlett Johansson and her brother Hunter.

Scarlett Johansson might have been e-mail buddies with then-Senator Barack Obama, but her twin brother Hunter helped get him into the Oval Office. In June 2008 ScarJo's twin left his job as a community organizer at Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer's office and became a campaign organizer for Obama in Denver. As everyone knows, Obama became President, while Hunter received an honor of his own: People magazine named him a "Hot Bachelor" in their "Single and Sexy Men of 2008" feature.

Ashton Kutcher and his brother Michael.

Ashton Kutcher is a dashing (albeit goofy) leading man and the most famous cougar cub in history, but few people know that he has a fraternal twin. Michael Kutcher was born with cerebral palsy and had a life-saving heart transplant when he was 13-years-old. Always his twin's protector when the two were growing up, Ashton decided to move to Hollywood to pursue his acting career, while Michael stayed in Iowa and sells retirement plans.

Gisele Bündchen and her sister Patricia.

If Patricia Bündchen were the fraternal twin of anyone else on the planet, she would be the pretty sister. Unfortunately for Patricia, her twin is Gisele Bündchen: Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, ex-girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, the new Mrs. Tom Brady. So rather than live in her sister's perfectly curvaceous shadow, Patricia prefers to stay behind the camera, acting as Gisele's manager. She's good at it too: Gisele is the world's highest-paid supermodel, earning $35 million in 2008.

Giovanni Ribisi and his sister Marissa.

When future actors Giovanni and Marissa Ribisi were born, they were delivered by Bibbe Hansen. Giovanni grew up to play Phoebe's brother, Frank, Jr., on "Friends" and Scarlett Johansson's photographer-husband in "Lost in Translation." Marissa appeared in "Dazed and Confused," "The Brady Bunch Movie," and "Felicity" before launching her own clothing line, Whitley Kros. And Bibbe Hansen? She ended up becoming Marissa's mother-in-law, when Ribisi married Bibbe's son, Beck Hansen, who is better known as indie rock darling Beck.

Jon Heder and his brother Daniel.

When identical twins Jon and Daniel Heder were kids, they would shoot home movies about books like "White Fang" rather than turn in traditional written book reports. Not surprisingly, they both decided to go into the film business when they grew up. After Jon became famous for his role in the 2004 film "Napoleon Dynamite," he and Daniel became partners in their own production company, "Greasy Entertainment." And while Jon was off shooting "Just Like Heaven" and "The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang," Dan worked as an animator on the movie "Monster House."

Isabella Rossellini and her sister Isotta Ingrid.

The daughters of silver screen icon Ingrid Bergman and legendary Italian director Robert Rossellini, fraternal twins Isabella and Isotta Ingrid Rossellini took very different paths. Isabella used her flawless beauty to launch a modeling career, act in such films as "Blue Velvet" and "Fearless," and land famous lovers, like Martin Scorsese (her husband from 1979 to 1982), David Lynch, and Gary Oldman. Ingrid, on the other hand, chose to stay out of the spotlight. After earning a PhD in Italian Literature at Columbia University, Ingrid became a professor and has taught at Harvard and Princeton. And, proving that twins don't always think alike, the sisters had a very public rift in 2006 when Isabella screened her short film "My Dad Is 100 Years Old" prior to a retrospective of his work at the Tribeca Film Festival. Ingrid felt the short made a joke of her father's illustrious career and was hurt that Isabella would link it directly to his film during the festival.

Jill Hennessy and her sister Jacqueline.

In the States, Jill Hennessy is famous for her role on the crime drama "Law and Order." But head North and you'll find that her identical twin sister, Jacqueline, is a Canadian TV star who hosts the current affairs show "Medical Intelligence." While Jacqueline is a journalist by trade, she has dabbled in acting. Back in 1988 Jacq and Jill played twin call girls in the movie "Dead Ringers," and when Jill was double-booked during a "Law and Order"/"Homicide: Life on the Streets" crossover extravaganza, Jacqueline played her sister's role in a few courtroom scenes.

Alanis Morissette and her brother Wade.

Isn't it ironic that Alanis Morissette has a twin? No, not really, but neither were any of the things that Morissette talked about in her 1996 hit song "Ironic." But we digress. Wade played piano and guitar growing up, but it wasn't until he combined his passion for yoga with his love of music that he found his true calling. As a spokesman for lululemon athletica apparel, Wade joined the Yoga Pilgrimage in 2005 and toured to promote his debut album, "Sargam Scales of Music." He's been rocking the yoga circuit ever since. Maybe if Wade had taught Alanis how to align her chakras, "Jagged Little Pill" might have been a kinder, gentler album.
