Hello! Each and everyone, Good Afternoon!

Today,I would like to share about the "Badjao".

They are commonly found in the shares of Zamboanga.

The Badjao are the indegenous people in the Philippines who lived in " Baybaying - dagat ".

But,Now they were to be found in some other areas in Visayas and Mindanao.

Even in Manila the Badjao's are now can be found in some areas here,especially, on the streets ,

they were singing and distributing and asking for small donations.

I, sometimes asked myself; why is it the Philippine Government can't have an eye on them?

They were all should be given much attention and importance,

they should be given house to lived in and clothes and simple jobs.

Why is it they can not think of possible ways like putting those children , "Badjao";in School to make them productive later on.

"Badjao" famously known as the sea gypsies.

If there is a " floating casino " in Macau, Castle's in the Air " in fairy tales,

but then,for badjao's there is floating school in Zamboanga.

This is the first of it's kind not only in the Philippines ,

but, in the entire world.

Good Morning Everybody!

I am here,again.

Now,I'll share you anything about the "houses " in the Philippines.

Here, to make a real house, you need to show your architect, and you should have a unique vision for your Philippine house.

Nowadays,we have for sale houses
by owner.
All houses on sale here are by the property owner direct.

There are many houses dump site and dwellers of their earn money for scavenging garbage, like such as a ,"Smoky mountain ".

We still have animation houses, most of these, but not all are operated by small companies, or home - based operation, thus, making it hard for them to utilized their full potential.

Contemporary dream houses are an abundance of exotic building material houses,

surprisingly with so much colors in the architecture of those local houses.

We still have typical Spanish house style like this that's been shown here in my picture today.

In the Provinces, there are still bamboo houses, but then, some are modern built.
In Manila, most of the houses are condominiums.

" The Philippines has long been known for it's creative designs" ; in houses, in furniture, and for their skill.

That is all I can think of to say, and , I just wanted to share these with you all.

God Bless to all of us!!!

and it is the " Banaue Rice Terraces ".

The BANAUE RICE TERRACES are part of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras,

ancient sprawling man - made structures from 2000-6000 years.

The fact that they were constructed using only primitive tools and bare hands to makes it even more astounding.

It is revealed to be full of history.

It is located in a place aptly called Mountain Province.

It is considered wondrous creation.

These terraces have been the "Great Pyramid of the Philippines ".

It is the pride of the Philippines, because,the ifugaos carved the mountain by hand.

But these legends never that told us that someone taught them how to do it.

This is such a beautiful place!!!

Really it is!

Have a nice day!!!

The saints cult was and is wide spread on the Philippines.

It is said that displaying a red welcome Sto.Nino in your home will welcome and bless anyone who comes to your home ,

while a green one will bless and attract costumers to your place of work or business.

The feast of the Sto.Nino, is a good day to ask for a special gift from the Lord,

Him who understands what it means to grow up and under less-than-perfect.

Novenas are made especially in honor of the saints to ask their intercession for certain benefits.

Good Morning Everybody!!!

I wanna share you all about Rizal park.
Rizal Park is situated in the heart of the city of Manila,Philippines.
It is at northern end of Roxas,Boulevard overlooking Manila Bay.
It was called the "Bagumbayan" (English: New Town) in Spanish Colonial Era,and later known as Luneta.

The park was the site of Jose Rizal's execution on December 30,1896,whose martyred death made him a hero of the Philippine Revolution.
It was officially renamed Rizal Park in tribute to him.

Our Philippine Flag:

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 02:22:00 +0000

Good Morning,everybody!

This is our Philippine Flag.

It has three stars and a sun.

The symbols on the white triangle of the Philippine flag are an eight rayed sun and three stars in gold.

The sun represents the dawning...Alapan,Imus,Cavite where the Philippine flag received it's baptism of fire and blood.

The Philippine National flag made it's 1st public appearance at General Aguinaldo's declaration of Independence from Spain.

Prior to this flag,there were several Katipunan flags and war banners, and some of the revolutionary generals had their own flags,some of which stand some similarity to the present National flag.

Good Afternoon!

It's year of the pig,right?!

But,here in the Philippines everyday is year of the pig if you can afford to buy it.

It is really juicy and delicious and had a satisfying flavor.

Not all Filipinos can afford to buy a whole "LECHON",sticked-on a bamboo and it's been grilled on a charcoal with fire.

Slapped and been spreaded by their own choice of sauce.

Hummmm....I can't wait not to eat this kind of food.

The Famous "JEEPNEY":

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 11:47:00 +0000

Good Evening everybody!

I would like to tell you more about "jeepney".

It is really fun to ride on a jeep.

Can you see the man standing on the back of it even if it is loaded?

Here, in the Philippines,you will find jeepneys on the road wherever you go and the fare is very cheap.

And it is really fun to ride here because, the radio's are very loud and the drivers drive fast and cool.

Even though all seats were taken and all occupied,they were still shouting to get the attention of the passengers.

For example,they were shouting "Baclaran!Baclaran!"It is a place or the destination where the jeepneys route.

Know more about it when you visit the Philippines!

Have a Happy ride!!!

Products that are made in the Philippines have good qualities:

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 12:07:00 +0000

Good Evening!!!

In some parts of the province,we can see so many people are creating their own products to be exported outside the country.

We,Filipinos are very creative.

People here in the Philippines are exporting things,like bags,baskets,vases,belts ,fans,etc.

They were doing hand made products.

Mostly,people in the provinces.

Even in Manila they were thinking what can be sold out.

In other country,they were using machines.

But,in the Philippines,they do manuals.

That's why products have good qualities and it is worth buying.

Thank you so much!

And Have a pleasant day to each and everyone.!!!

The Bamboo Organ Church.

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 09:48:00 +0000

Good Afternoon!!!

Now,I will show you one of the best church for me.

It is the "Bamboo Organ"Church.

You can find this place in Las Pinas City.

You know why I like this church?

Most churches have similarities.

But unlike this church,when you get inside...Ow!,it is very sacred.

I can feel the warmth and the atmosphere here is cool.

You can see the big organ and it is made up of bamboo.

It is like an old Spanish's style church.

I really like it there!Very impressive and Holy!!!

The blocks looks old and unpainted.

When the church choir plays the organ,it is very loud.Wow!!!Real unique.

You better see this place.

And you will love to come back.

Until next time...Have a god Day!

Filipino's were professional in the field of entertainment:

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:52:00 +0000

First of all,I would like to greet everybody a pleasant Good Afternoon!

In the Philippines,we are all fond of entertainments.

Filipinos are good in dancing.

Even if it's folk dancing,waltz,rumba,modern dancing,etc.

Some are participating so well.

Like this "Jota dance" only Filipino's can dance gracefully.

Wherever you go,we have lots of theaters,plaza,convention centers, and in any huge or small stages;with the spot lights on.Or even only in the streets.

Filipino's were born to be performers with their own great capacities.

And we are proud of it!!!

Maybe,you should watch them dance.

It is for you to find out,if I am telling the truth.

Try watching them,how they move their bodies.

Bye for now...Have a nice day!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 12:23:00 +0000

Marriage.

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 05:39:00 +0000

Good Morning to each and everyone!
First of ll,I would like to share my strangest feeling that no one can easily understand.
I have loved a man whom, I,myself, know that his the one for me. We started as lived-in partners ,but,we decided to get married, because,we both felt that we can't live without each other.And I cannot love any man but only him.
And I was blind of loving him. And he showed much affection and caress.He took care of me.
But then,sometimes it's hard enough to accept that there's this situation comes my way of letting go or forgiving him,instead.

At first,I really don't know how to accept some miserable thing coming our way.Slight problem,but too much heartaches.
So many questions behind.
Will I forgive or forget???
What is the best thing that I should do?
But as far as relationship is concerned,I really have to forgive.
'Cause,I am trying to run a relationship.
And it is not only me who will suffer then,at the end.
We were bind together in heart and in the eyes of God.
And we promised each other to love each other for the rest of our lives.
But how was it? I do value our "marriage".
Now,it seems that we are hurting each other.
Is it part of the relationship?Or the so called"trials"?
God,I really don't know when and where to start again.

God,Please Help Us!!!That is all I can think of to say...Have a Blessed Day to everybody!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Lopez) — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:42:00 +0000

Good Evening!!!
I am here once again,to talk about the truth if the unseen people exist.
Before,I am not aware or should I say,I never believe in that.
But then,suddenly something happened to me.I thought it was only a skin allergy.
First,I went to the doctor and they give me prescriptions and I bought the medicine.
But still,there's no changes happening.It seems that I'm not treated so well by the doctors.
Then my friends told me to go the faith healing.The faith healer told me that I've been treated by the small people coming under the ground.
It is hard to believe,but then,they give signs and marks in my body.
You know what, here in the Philippines,we have this old sayings that always say"tabi-tabi po nuno",(means,excuse me to the unseen people),like dwarfs?!
HAVE YOU SEEN ONE OF THOSE???You?,Do you believe in that???
I, sometimes have doubts,...
there is nothing wrong if we sometimes believe in our grand elders beliefs.Right?!

But,still...KEEP ON PRAYING!!!And ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST IN OUR HEARTS,'cause,HE WILL HEAL US!!!

Have a goodnight!
