Congratulations!

The Associated Press reported that Mexico City residents set a new record Valentine's Day as nearly 40,000 people locked lips in the city center for the world's largest group kiss.

My friends, don't you think Filipinos can erase this record? I'm pretty sure that it could happen if couples from the Greater Manila area converge at the Luneta on February 14, 2010 and show their love and affection for each other by kissing for the record. I have seen hundreds of couples making out on clandestine trysts at the Luneta at past twilight time when I was in Manila last summer.

only those with spanish blood can hope to compete with the mexican kissers.

That's an asinine comment made by someone who obviously has some sort of odd Spanish fetish. Why don't you go back to your own barrio? - J

you've not been reading much of this forum, have you? there's a few that tout their spanish blood in this forum like it's a badge of honor

eta: and i don't have a barrio, i'm the usc

And there's A LOT of Proud Filipinos on this site. You make me laugh. -A

keep firing away, you missed badly with the barrio comment

Oh, no! Jasman beat me to the post!

It was really confusing me about the number on the bottle. I guess he thought the bottles are recycled as is and not ground up.

Why, thank you for finding it out. -Anna

I'm not sure about that, but if you would care to look at the number of times a bottle can be recycled at the bottom or somewhere that has the triangle (recycle sign) on the bottle, it would then say how many times it could be re-used.

You lost me here, how can you tell how many times a plastic bottle has been recycled? The plastic is broken down and remixed to make new products and even new bottles. One bottle could become a part of many so I am confused

Look at the bottom of the bottle, it has there the recycle thing and inside it, number of times it could be re-used (or so I was told by my colleague.)

I'd rather be at a party than squander my precious and productive time on worthless VJ, just as some people, like you, do 24/7.

When I get tired of reading here in VJ, I do something else but if this word WORTHLESS cross in mouth/mind, I will email Mr. Ewok immediately to revoke my membership because it means is not worth to log-in in here.

Good thing about this kind of forum, you see the good, the bad and the major ugly. oops. Peace to everyone and happy valentines day

Cool you are talking about re using the bottles and not the water... I read the title and was thinking on hwo do you "recycle" the water

wow then tell me what should be the correct title smart ####...hehehehe

While waiting outside the USEM Manila we were given flyers from travel agencies selling tickets & I see its cheaper than buying tickets online. what do you think are they reliable? i will suggest this to my husband because he's going to buy me ticket soon, but if i find it cheaper here then i just purchase here to save "sayang din un". This is my first time to travel. Any suggestion?

I would make sure that the flyers you received are legit otherwise, you might just be paying more than an arm and leg

I'd rather be at a party than squander my precious and productive time on worthless VJ, just as some people, like you, do 24/7.

Does that mean we won't be seeing you anymore here on worthless VJ??? Damn the Bad Luck!

what will we do!

HAVE A PARTY!!!!! LOL

Party when that day comes! LOL

congratulations to you

Happy Friday!

started the day with a flat tire on my husband's car, wishing that's the only freaky thing that happens today. Have a great day everybody!

acckkk. Well, think positive

I am assuming almost everyone's out to prepare for valentines day lol. Either that or they're just waiting for their visas/etc to come

I am sorry to hear that. Hope things get better though. Don't give up just yet.

Mark 11:22-23

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him."

This is a powerful and very moving verse. Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

Does anyone know if a cell phone from RP will work in the US? I have the model numbers from Shirs cell and my local AT&T phone store says it will work on their systems. They looked up the model and said that one of their SIMM's would work with it.

Has anyone made a conversion with a RP phone?

Phil

Hubby bought a celphone from pinas - it worked well here in USA. we bought an open line, tri-band celphone. It works on american sim as well as with "Smart/Globe" sim pack (roaming activated).

Please explain how this 'roaming activated' works. I have heard of this but never understood it.

Thanks

Phil

You'd have to contact the local provider to activate the roaming service. Per sms sent to Philippines from abroad would only cost (I think) no more than Php5.00 or so.

Thumbs up to all these inspirational verses

I believe indolence is embedded in almost everyone’s heart and soul, Filipino or otherwise. I, myself, must admit that I possess some inborn laziness, albeit how trivial it may be. My laziness could be the product of my incessant procrastination; not to accomplish something today, because it can always be done tomorrow. For example, I must mow the lawn now as the fescue grass is about 3 inches high, but, wait, I am going to the golf course instead and enjoy whacking the bermuda fairways with my 7-iron. Hey, there is always tomorrow for the grass and weeds at home.

I think Rizal speaks of Filipinos' laziness as a result of Spanish colonization. He noted that Filipinos were labeled as such by westerners because when the latter woke up in the morning (most likely at about 9 or so), they would see Filipinos sleeping under the shade of trees; they wouldn't 'work' much or till the soil for planting etc. What they - westerners know, (please note, this is based from the essay) was that Filipinos wake up too early in the morning so they could work on the field and also to avoid the extreme heat of the sun. Moreover, there were cases when a Filipino farmer didn't have to work that much considering how soil is. Anyways, it's a good read- Rizal's essays I mean.

Reforms Sought by La Solidaridad

As was to be expected, the friars published another periodical to oppose these claims; their main argument was the incapacity of the native due to his ignorance and inborn laziness. They alleged that the sought for reforms, incompatible with his primitive state, would spoil the native, accustomed as he was to work under threat of the whip -- the reforms would, so to speak, be too strong a food for his unsophisticated stomach; that, if their petitions were granted, the Filipinos would ask for more, turning more and more demanding and vexatious, and never satisfied; that really the masses in the country were happy with their lot and paid no heed to La Solidaridad which was edited by a handful of subversives. They were told in reply that the native was ignorant because he was badly instructed, principally because the friars, who were the inspectors of the government primary schools and the private secondary schools, did not want him to be instructed; that notwithstanding official statistics in the Philippines the proportion of persons who could read and write to the total population, was, if not equal to, greater than, in the peninsula; that the indolence of the native was largely due to the lack of cheap and easy transport facilities for his products; that reform were sought precisely so that the native might rise from the primitive state in which he was being kept and so that the government, better informed of his needs, might meet them accordingly; that the number of representatives of the Filipinos in parliament might be fixed in proportion to those who could read and write; and lastly that to clarify and dispel all manner of doubts it would be convenient, by way of experiment, to implant some reforms and permit the Filipinos freely and peacefully to express what they felt. Since these arguments were unanswerable, the organ of the friars had the impudence to declare more than once, with heavy emphasis, that the freedoms enjoyed in the peninsula had been won with blood, not ink. Such provocation was, of course, childish but, for that very reason, rash in the extreme. While all this was taking place the Spanish government remained silent, but its actions showed in a way that left no room for doubt that it was on the side of the friars, abandoning the people who bore all the burdens of the state. Once in a while an outstanding liberal, weary of waiting for his party's turn in power, would raise the kite of vague promises which, once he had in his hands the cabinet portfolio he coveted, he tried to forget.

Source

Even Rizal himself admitted that laziness existed among Filipinos in an essay (La Indolencia De Los Filipinos) that appeared in La Solidaridad in 1890. It was a continuation of Rizal’s campaign of education in which he sought the truth to awaken his countrymen to their own faults and at the same time that he was arousing the Spaniards to the defects in Spain’s colonial system that caused and continued such shortcomings.

Has any one read The Indolence of the Filipinos?

There something I notice in all this discussion, the OP asked the question for you to advice most don’t do that you rather started to condemn the poor lady, I believe that is why she could not come back again since most of you are already sentence her to condemnation for life, when most of you are not there when the interview is being conducted, you don’t know what they fill in the form, you don’t know what are the questions the interviewer asked her, you are just there to castigate her, as if you are the presiding judge of the matter. Please give her a chance and explained things to her instead of condemn please rethink

Thanks and cheers

This was the title. "Got denied on my interview b'coz of not having my decision yet at the court from my previous marriage, Give me some help!!!"

So true. It makes one not want to post any questions here for fear of being ridiculed by others. I also think there are many here who are prejudiced towards Filipinos for whatever reason so they react even worse. I know I am not the only one to see this as it was a problem in another thread which mods had to excise the prejudicial comments.

I have looked on the net and what happened to her is not unheard of. She will have to refile after the annulment. Cases of being banned for life are common for things such as marriage fraud but filling in a form inaccurately? Bullshit. The usefulness of this site is highly debatable right now. I can find the information elsewhere without the drama and the questions my wife has asked did not have an adequate answer. Oh well, it is free so what do we expect. - J
