Canndalatissa Mahabhaya, 1 Definition(s)
1 Definition(s) from various sources:
According to the Anguttara Commentary (AA.i.52), there was once a period of great disaster in Ceylon, known as the Canndala tissabhaya. There was no food to be had, and Sakka provided the monks with a raft on which to cross the sea. Sixty monks, however, remained in Ceylon, guarding the scriptures. Twelve years later, when the danger was past, the monks who had left the land returned and dwelt in the Mandalarama in Kallagama (Kalakagama?). There the two parties of monks met and, on comparing their records of the scriptures, these were found not to differ by so much as a syllable or even a single letter.
Comparison of this story with the account given elsewhere (E.g., VibhA.445ff) of the Brahmanatissacorabhaya strongly suggests that both refer to the same account. For details see s.v. Brahmanatissa.

D'Aria offers up rest, relaxation, great food and delicious wine
Just 30 minutes outside of the centre of Cape Town is a little farm called D'Aria. On this farm, you will find a place to eat, a place to drink and a place to lay your head.
All you can eat buffet joints in Cape Town
As the saying goes, "variety is the spice of life" and this is never more apparent that when choosing what to eat, especially in winter. As a Capetonian with a healthy appetite, though, I say why choose at all? This is why my favourite culinary establishments in Cape Town are restaurants with all-you-can-eat buffet options.
Natalie Roos' top things to do in Cape Town in winter
I'm not a Capetonian by birth, but by breed. I've lived in this beautiful city since October 2010 and am still in awe of her beauty every day. Cape Town always quietens during the winter months, which means that there are some fantastic winter specials running everywhere from hotels to restaurants, spas and salons. I like to take full advantage of these in the colder months. I've compiled a list of some of my favourite things to do in Cape Town in winter.
Cape Town restaurants with fireplaces
Winter in Cape Town is the perfect opportunity to combine three favourite winter pastimes: sampling great cuisine, enjoying good company and sitting in front of a roaring fire. Tempting as it may be to stay indoors snuggled up under the warm covers, there are so many delicious restaurants with warm fireplaces to visit this season.
Top 10 ice cream spots in Cape Town
I scream, you scream, we all scream for… ice cream! There is nothing as tasty and quintessentially summer as licking a three-scoop ice cream, dripping down the cone, while walking along the beachfront on a gorgeous day in Cape Town.
Top Five Braai Spots in #LoveCapeTown
If there is one thing Capetonians are good at, other than socialising of course, it's braaing. Whether it's meat or fish, you can be sure that on a spectacular summer's day (winter too!), you will find us gathered around the fire, enjoying each other's company, the tantalising aroma of meat on the grill and our breathtaking city views.

As the days get longer and warmer, what could be better than sipping a refreshing drink at one of Cape Town's top rooftop bars? Check out our top five.
Cape Town traditional food: take a bite out of history
If Cape Town was a meal, what would it be? A smaaklike Dutch potjiekos? A spicy Cape Malay chicken curry? Perhaps a mouthwatering African chakalaka? The answer is quite simple: Cape Town is all of these meals and much, much more. With a culinary history that is as delicious as it is extensive, the Mother City continues to delight palates.
Cape Town bakeries: Sugar and spice and all things nice
Who can bake especially for you? In the Mother City, the Bakers Man certainly can. With a variety of quality bakeries, confectioneries and delicatessens all over the Peninsula, there is plenty to please the hearts and tummies of sweet-toothed locals and visitors. From the lip-smacking milk tart and spicy samoosa recipes passed down to us by our Dutch and Malay ancestors to the mouth-watering crȇpes and croissants we inherited from the French Huguenots, baking is a time-honoured Capetonian tradition and one we do very well.
Kayli Vee Levitan's best tea spots in Cape Town
Taking time out for yourself in Cape Town can take many forms. You can take a walk on the beach, enjoy a spa treatment, tuck into gourmet food and wine or sip on a perfect brew with a few sweet treats to delight you at high tea. Often the perfect way to catch up with friends or loved ones, high tea not only offers an afternoon of exciting new teas and treats that delight the eyes and palate, you can also enjoy all of this while admiring the splendour of your surroundings. I sampled a few high teas on offer around the city and found a few gems.
The great Gatsby hunt in Cape Town: Where to find it and how to enjoy it
On any given day of the week, I'm a burger and chips-, pizza- or KFC-loving girl. But there is something about a Friday night that demands to be celebrated with a true, Cape Flats-style Gatsby. The way the pink Viennas and hot chips fit so perfectly inside the long French roll (drizzled with tantalising chilli or tomato sauce and cut into four pieces) gets my cholesterol-filled arteries pulsating.
Five amazing places for tea in Cape Town

Jamie Oliver gets a taste of Cape Town at Mzoli's Place
Jamie Oliver, photo courtesy Downing Street While going through the newspaper the other day, I saw that Mzoli's Place in Gugulethu played host to celebrity chef Jamie Oliver last weekend. Apparently, Jamie loved it and found the experience "very sexy". He also mentioned that "in this part of the world, fresh is where it's at". Jamie is now featuring Mzoli's Place on the cover of his April magazine, describing its food as "heaven". I have to agree that in general Cape Town is the capital of good food – from a braai at Mzoli's to the city's chic restaurants, a Camp's Bay sundowner seafood feast and the utterly luxurious winelands lunch.

Hot as Hell!
Tres magnifique!
Nice work!!!
Beautiful render!
sooo...... much clear....... work...
Excellent realism.
Love this picture! Are you rendering in poser pro 2012?
thanks, no i rendering in 3ds max with V-ray
Is it challenging to import from poser to 3DSM? Also is 3dsm hard to learn to render with? Just curious cause i want to go buy it but dont know where to learn from!
close to perfect
Very nice!
This is really exceptional. Do you mind if I ask what apps you use? I'm a photographer myself. But there are times when the aggravation of dealing with models gets to me. Sometimes I wish that I could simply create the people that I want. And do your apps work in animation as well?
Why is this called detente? It usually means a cease fire between nations, or an alliance. Pretty amazing work you have on this piece. I've noticed it's getting increasingly difficult to tell if it's from a photo or a computer generated drawing. The only bit of improvement I could possibly suggest would be to add some sort of background to give it context.
Beautiful skin tone and lighting, stunning image.
The skin texture is lovely, and I really like the softness of the lighting, but something about the inner thighs just isn't right. Really nice work on the rest of her though.

"Tirar la casa por la ventana": The Filipino hosts and their entertaining
February 17, 2015 at 10:27 am (1800s Filipinas, 1900s Philippines, 2000s Philippines, Design and Decoration, Domestic Travels, Family Traditions, Manila Houses, Pampanga Traditions, Personal, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Ilonggos, The Manilenos, The Negrenses, The Pampanguenos, The Past)
Renaissance: The arts during the Marcos regime
February 16, 2015 at 3:08 am (1900s Philippines, Architecture, Design and Decoration, Filipino Art, Manila Houses, Personal, Random memories, The Batanguenos, The Bicolanos, The Bulaquenos, The Cagayanons, The Cavitenos, The Cebuanos, The Davaoenos, The Global Crowd, The Ilocanos, The Ilonggos, The Laguna Tagalogs, The Leytenos, The Manilenos, The Negrenses, The Novo Ecijanos, The Pampanguenos, The Pangasinenses, The Past, The Samarenos, The Tarlaquenos, The Tayabenses / Quezonians)
The extremely active, albeit exaggerated, Philippine contemporary art scene aside, one remembers an earlier golden period of art about 50 years ago, during the ascendancy of President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos and his First Lady, Madame Imelda Romualdez-Marcos.
Reading through the now antediluvian articles on art during the Marcos regime, one is struck by the creative flowering of several major artists in so many fields. Despite the difficult political climate, the arts flourished to a remarkable degree, to an intensity unmatched in the past and perhaps in the present.
Madame Imelda Romualdez-Marcos had her mantra: "The good, the true, and the beautiful."
The memories of a city
November 17, 2014 at 12:00 pm (1900s Philippines, Comedy Relief, Humor, Manila Houses, Past Events, Random memories, The Cebuanos, The Davaoenos, The Global Crowd, The Ilocanos, The Ilonggos, The Manilenos, The Negrenses)
As the famous writer Nick Joaquin wrote: "Manila… my Manila…"
Postwar, the First Lady knew that her husband's heart was with another, more beautiful, more considerate lady. She had a volatile temper and it led to scenes even during Malacanang palace receptions. A snickering "de alta sociedad" was witness to banging doors and loud screams. At times, she would adeptly lock the hapless President in his bathroom so he could not go out to see his lady love after dinner.
At the Bayview club, grand heiress sidled up to Visayan scion who was dancing with Manila patrician and asked dryly: "Why are you dancing with that slut?" Manila patrician retorted: "And just who is the slut between us?" A catfight ensued between Manila patrician and grand heiress [ ala Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter { Joan Collins } versus Krystle Carrington { Linda Evans } in the 1980s hit TV series "Dynasty" ] and became their claim to notoriety in the decades to come.
To the social Baby Boomer generation now in their early 60s, one of the most memorable wedding receptions they attended was that of a presidential grandson and an aristocratic bon vivant's daughter in Forbes Park. The desserts had been surreptitiously spiked with "marijuana" [top growth] and the city's "de alta sociedad" became "high" with it. Even the most staid members of high society found themselves dizzy or off-balance and had to sprawl on the grass or sit on the "piedra china" Chinese granite steps in the garden. Everyone had such a great time.
At an IMF International Monetary Fund conference in Manila, the Marcos blue ladies were shocked to discover bigtime jeweler and pretty Blue Lady in a catfight in a guest bedroom.
The jealous son of a lumber magnate shot the pretty daughter of a Visayan "de buena familia." Mrs lumber magnate sought the protection of the First Lady so her son would not get the death sentence; Mrs knelt in front of the First Lady at the Malacanang palace and implored her assistance. First Lady: "Alright. I will help you. But I never want to see your face again." Thus began the end of the family's fabulous fortune.
During the First Lady's "reign," the Malacanang kitchen staff were always on their toes following her every dictate and whim. A cursory look at the loaded buffet table at any time of the day and the inevitable question with a raised eyebrow "Yan lang ba?" [ "Is that all?" ] would send them scurrying everywhere to prepare more dishes to be served. A second question "Nasaan yung…?" meant that they better have that item served ASAP. The correct and only answer, no matter how difficult or impossible the request, was "It's coming, Madame." The staff could not answer in the negative because that meant instant termination. The First Lady kept a bountiful table from breakfast to midnight supper. She required a certain number of dishes at any one time. She required that the serving dishes always be full, no matter how many guests had eaten already. She required that there always be fresh, not reheated, food on the buffet tables, from morning until midnight. During her time, no guest at the Malacanang palace could say that he had not been well-fed.
At the Malacanang palace, bigtime jeweler brought her splendid jewels to sell to the First Lady. Unfortunately, Herr doktor, whom she never liked [ the feeling was mutual ], was hanging around, as usual. The First Lady fitted the ruby parure [ suite ] with obvious delight before a grand mirror. When bigtime jeweler insisted that her ruby suite was from Van Cleef & Arpels, and that the clasp of the big necklace had the acronym VCA, the First Lady requested Herr doktor to confirm. He did. Comically. "Ma'am, I see VCA… VULACAN!!!"
After a while, beautiful and refined patrician lady started avoiding her erstwhile good friend grand heiress, including the latter's willful sisters. When asked by close friends why, she said: "So foul-mouthed." Not about bad breath, but the endless cuss words.
At the funeral of an affluent Visayan grande dame known for her style and jewelry, the younger daughter was desperately tapping the glass top of her mother's coffin: "Mommy, Mommy!!! Wake up! They're fighting me! Mommy, Mommy!!!" The grande dame had just passed away in the hospital when the protracted war for real estate, USD $ placements, & magnificent jewelry erupted between her children.
The First Lady and an irrepressibly elegant Blue Lady got into an argument about the First Lady's daughter dating the son of an automotive magnate. First Lady: "Why are you interfering in this? Remember… You're only an adopted daughter." Elegant Blue Lady: "I may only be an adopted daughter, but I was not poor and never had to sleep on milk cartons like you." First Lady slapped elegant Blue Lady.
At times, the First Lady would hold receptions at a pavilion on the other side of the Pasig river. But all the guests would first assemble at the Malacanang palace and then cross the river by a prettified ferry. On one of those occasions, everyone was shocked when an elegant overweight lady, the heiress of one of Manila's grandest, old line, "de buena familia," clumsily slipped from the planks and fell into the murky Pasig river. In a gesture of chivalry, her equally overweight husband, a tycoon and ladies' man, promptly dove into the river and rescued her along with some PSG men. It was only right because all of his big business ventures were practically bankrolled by his wife's large inherited fortune.
At a big reception at the Coral ballroom of the Sheraton hotel, irate wife — a daughter of a prosperous market vendor — attacked her husband's mistress — a beautiful mestiza of distinguished southern Luzon bloodlines. They mussed up each other's hairdo in a catfight that had them both rolling on the carpeted floor, and irate wife left in a flurry. Nonplussed, Cool Mistress asked fellow guests at the table: "Whooooo was that???"
To shrug off her son's disappointing marriage to a country girl, leading uberwitty socialite sighed: "At least, someone at home can do my nails now…"
In Paris, at the Clignancourt antiques market, Herr doktor was advising his best friend, the czar of fashion, on a Louis XVI [ Louis Seize / Louis the Sixteenth ] "lit ala Polonaise" canopy bed. When told of the [ expectedly ] exorbitant price, czar of fashion asked Herr doktor: "If we buy Louis XV [ Louis Quinze / Louis the Fifteenth ], maybe it's shorter, and cheaper?" Herr doktor bonked czar of fashion on the head, just like in cartoons.
Observing that her daughter-in-law had kept her petit bourgeois ways, leading uberwitty socialite quipped: "Aw, you really can't spin cotton into silk, can you?"
After a notorious bombing in the south where scores were killed and injured, medics were attending to a beautiful and elegant "de buena familia" Blue Lady who was one of those badly hurt. When they had to remove her dress to see the extent of her injuries, she pleaded: "My dress! Please do not tear my dress! It's Chloe, from Paris! There's a zipper at the back…"
During the first MIFF Manila International Film Festival, the maids and the valets at the Malacanang guesthouses had a field day attending to the celebrity guests, some of whom liked to lounge naked in their guestrooms in between engagements.
When leading uberwitty socialite was told that an aging former Vice-President would be leading the Opposition to Ferdinand Marcos in the next election during the mid-1980s, she quipped: "We don't mind a dark horse… but what are we going to do with a dead horse???!!!"

In the Blink of an Eye (Super typhoon "Haiyan"/"Yolanda" in the Philippines, Leyte & Samar provinces, 08 November 2013, Friday, 4.40am)
November 9, 2013 at 2:59 pm (2000s Philippines, Angst, Current Events, The Cebuanos, The Global Crowd, The Ilonggos, The Leytenos, The Manilenos, The Negrenses, The Samarenos)
The whole world has been glued to CNN as it reports the cataclysmic destruction of super typhoon "Haiyan"/"Yolanda" in the Philippines. "Haiyan"/"Yolanda" had very strong winds that gusted up to 235 mph or 380 kph (according to the JTWC in Honolulu, the US Navy's warning center). Hardest hit were the provinces of Leyte and Samar in the Eastern Visayas, where the super typhoon made its initial landfalls. The overwhelming devastation is unprecedented and beyond belief. By simply observing the sheer destruction of the coastal cities and towns of Leyte and Samar, journalists are estimating that thousands of people have been killed.
Metropolitan Manila, some 800 hundred kilometers northwest of Leyte and Samar provinces, was fortunately spared the wrath of "Haiyan"/"Yolanda." But had the super typhoon passed the capital, it is most likely that the Philippines would have ground to a complete halt. It would have destroyed the metropolis the way it did Tacloban city in Leyte.
As the news came slowly of the terrible destruction in Leyte and Samar provinces, all over the country typically kindhearted Filipinos started setting aside rice, canned goods, clothes, medicines, etc for the victims of the latest disaster. From Northern Luzon to Southern Mindanao, Filipinos set aside little somethings (sometimes big somethings) and brought them to collection centers for relief goods. In public markets, small groceries, big supermarkets, and even high-end food stores, customers bought extra supplies for the super typhoon "Yolanda" victims. The same thing happened in drug stores and medical supplies stores. The great collective charity of the Filipino people was/is truly amazing.
And then the countries of the world extended their generous helping hands to the beleaguered Philippines. The USA United States of America, Canada, the UK United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hungary, Russia, PROC China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Fiji, India, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE United Arab Emirates, et al . The incredible outpouring of sincere and generous assistance was largely unexpected and the Filipino nation is grateful, very grateful, for all the expert help extended in this terrible hour of great need. Humanity at its best.
Jenny's Grill ("Sizzling Sisig")
November 8, 2013 at 6:03 pm (Angst, Comedy Relief, Current Events, Humor, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, Tristesse)
As the super typhoon "Yolanda" whirled horrifically towards the Philippines, the Senate tried frantically to extricate itself from the Pork Barrel scam, which has infuriated the nation, and from its purported super mastermind Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles, who in turn frantically tried to evade all attempts for her to cook, nay sizzle, in her own oil…
Expectedly, the most amusing part of the interrogation was with the sarcastic, feisty, oftentimes delightfully outrageous Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago.
All throughout, it was a frustrating, discombobulating, exasperating, and ever-evasive litany of "Hindi po." ("No, sir/ma'am.") "Hindi ko po alam." ("I don't know, sir/ma'am.") "Matagal na po iyon." ("That was a long time ago, sir/ma'am.") "Hindi ko na po matandaan." ("I can no longer remember, sir/ma'am.") "I invoke my right against self-incrimination." "Attorney-Client privilege."
The exchange between Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Janet Lim-Napoles rapidly and rabidly became an indictment of Senator Juan Ponce-Enrile. In a series of totally fearless ballistic statements, Senator Santiago strongly implied that Senator (Johnny) Ponce-Enrile aka "Tanda" was the root of the PDAF scam and joined, probably inspired and copied, by Senator (Jinggoy) Estrada aka "Sexy" and Senator (Bong) Revilla aka "Pogi."
The anti-Napoles whistleblowers also connected with certainty Atty Jessica Lucila "Gigi" Gonzales – ex-Reyes, widely-acknowledged partner and chief of staff of JPE, and Ruby Tuason, a relative of the former First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, to Senator Juan Ponce-Enrile.
Realizing, as with many of us observers, that Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles is a woman marked for death by her former clients and associates, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago's final advice to her was very true, if not prophetic: "Pag-isipan mo ha. This is a friendly tip from a lawyer… But I will give you this counsel: Tell the truth before (sic) before the senators affected have you assassinated. Sabihin mo na… dahil iyan ang ligtas mo."
"Tell the truth before the senators affected have you assassinated."
"Tell the truth before the senators affected have you assassinated."
"Tell the truth before the senators affected have you assassinated."
It is unlikely that Janet Lim-Napoles will escape paying the ultimate price for her misdeeds, and from her former clients and associates at that. She holds TMI (Too Much Information) that could further destroy, indeed completely demolish, the already teetering lives of her former clients and associates. But if she will be murdered/assassinated, she might as well drag everyone concerned with her to Hell.
(Personally, I am in total stitches over this ridiculous political comedy. What schadenfreude as I watch these incorruptibly corrupt senators attempt to maintain their equanimity in the face of such truthful, shameful, shattering, life-changing, career-damning revelations. Wonderful, really wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I drool.)
Tough nut to crack, this Jenny. She really knows how to run around the grill.
Good show, Jenny!!! You go, gurl!!! LOL
As the Filipino Everyman Juan de la Cruz could cuss crisply: "PUTANG INA NINYONG LAHAT!!!" LOLOLOL
Na-pulis si Napoles (Sweet & Sour Pork)
September 1, 2013 at 7:25 pm (2000s Philippines, Angst, Current Events, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, Tristesse)
Do you honestly think that Mrs Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles will be convicted of all those charges?
IMHO, NO. Because she knows TOO MUCH. She has the frightful potential of being able to bring down the entire Philippine government from President Noynoy Aquino down to the mere barangay functionary.
About 5 years ago, or even more, Jenny Napoles was already the chic-of-the-week byword of property owners and speculators in posh Forbes Park, Makati city, where properties run to the hundreds of millions of pesos. Residents like the Ls, Ms, Qs, Ss, & Ts, who not only had one, but many properties in South Forbes & North Forbes Park, took quiet notice of her: "Who is this Jenny Napoles??? She's obviously very rich…!!!" At that time, she was one of the first megabuyers — way ahead of Manny Pacquiao — who plonked down unimaginable sums for properties in that impossibly expensive neighborhood. At that time, Php 150 million was, more or less, the going price for +- 2,000 m2. One resident remembered her paying up a whopping Php X00 million in cash for a big residential property.
Jenny Napoles replaced "Don" Pepito Mercado as the newest person-to-know in social Forbes Park circles, where venerable, old family wealth and long lineage were slowly but surely evaporating and giving way to the insurgent megafortunes of nouveaux riches from nowhere. Social Forbes liked attending Pepito Mercado's parties and enjoying his giveaways, like Mont Blanc "Meisterstuck" fountain pens.
At that time, a Forbes resident gushed: "Everyone knows Jenny Napoles! She's filthy rich and she's very nice! She has investments all over the place! She's a really good businesswoman!"
"She made her big money dealing in arms & ammunition."
They also knew her military origins and connections: "She's well-connected with Ping Lacson. Her husband Jimmy & Ping are good friends in the military from way back."
She was $$$ very rich, and she spread the money around. Friends spoke about her largesse, her generosity, of her magnificent gifts. Major items of Hermes, Chanel, Bulgari, Prada, etc were par for the course. There were parties where the giveaways for all the female guests were expensive signature bags. Business contacts were impressed by her splendid gifts. She did not hesitate to send an ailing friend to the hospital, specialist doctors, treatments, room, and all, everything on her. Neither did she hesitate to have a dead friend embalmed or cremated, interred or inurned, burial plot or niche, everything charged to her. Her largesse to those dear to her was "from womb to tomb." Among her many traits, Jenny Napoles was a master of the art of giving.
By all means, the guilty should be charged and penalized accordingly.
But obvious to everyone — except, stupidly enough, to the Philippine government — is that Mrs Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles is only a supporting actress in this "pork barrel drama." In fact, she is only the sacrificial lamb, the "expendable one" who can be punished, because she isn't "big enough" politically and financially.
She's not "big enough" politically and financially. Which brings us to the question: Who are the ones BIG ENOUGH politically and financially to elude this "Pork Barrel" witchhunt? I don't even need to name them, because you all know who they are. Same despicable names, same grotesque faces, same "sinverguenzas." This whole episode will become the Biblical "This too shall pass…" and they will get away scot-free, yet again. Yet again. Again and again.
But not forever. For there is such a thing as justice in the end. A justice so exact that it will hit right at the point where it hurts the most. It's called karma. And it's very real. They will burn in their personal, bespoke, customized hell for sure.
(The Marcoses are supposed to have some USD $ 30 billion deposited in various secret accounts all over the world. Undoubtedly, they have access to some of it, because their princely style of life continues to this day, undiminished. But the fact is they can't touch most of that purported USD $ 30 billion. Their shyster bankers in Switzerland, Germany, UK, USA, Japan, Singapore, the Cayman islands, etc will simply not allow them to withdraw the precious capital from their banks. No way, over their dead bankers' bodies. Then what is the use of all those $$$ billions if they can't have them at their beck and call??? If that's not "justice," I don't know what is.)
I have a different opinion of this fiasco. While I am fully aware of the purported crimes of Mrs Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles, I daresay that I admire her, and in a sense, am even thankful to her. It took her Simoun-like genius (remember the very rich jeweler antagonist in Rizal's 2nd novel "El Filibusterismo"), her derring-do, her sheer guts and balls to pander to the insatiable greed of our politicos and it took her great abilities to unwittingly deal the lethal blows — I cannot say fatal, unfortunately — to the careers of our most corrupt politicos. FINALLY. It took the brilliant, daring misdeeds of Mrs Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles to bring the subterranean hoarding activities of the incorruptibly corrupt Filipino politico to the harsh sunlight for all the world to see. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
A lot of people want her dead. Or disappeared without a trace. Specially her former clients and associates, the very ones who benefited, and benefited greatly, from her business genius. For their protection. For good reasons, very good reasons. In the case of Mrs Janet "Jenny" Lim-Napoles' former clients and associates, there is sadly no honor among thieves. To each his own now. Oddly enough, the Filipino people, or Juan de la Cruz, don't even figure in that equation.
If only poor Juan de la Cruz knows of all the chicanery that goes on in the highest government circles, the way they parcel things out among themselves with that accepted but errant sense of entitlement: "Tayo tayo lang naman dito…", he would overthrow this government right now.
The incredible problem with this "Pork Barrel fiasco" is that… like it or not, practically EVERY TOP OFFICIAL IN GOVERNMENT is involved.
Do you still harbor illusions about our Philippine government? Call me a cynic but I don't and I never have. It's never going to change, you know.
The Yellow Dream is so over. I can't believe it — being a staunch believer as a 19 year-old during EDSA 1986 — but it is.
To paraphrase Marie Antoinette: "Let them eat Sweet & Sour Pork!"
The Culmination
August 5, 2013 at 1:34 am (2000s Philippines, Comedy Relief, Current Events, Family Traditions, Humor, Personal, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Laguna Tagalogs, The Manilenos, The Tayabenses / Quezonians)
Of course, it will never happen again (not in that way, at least), but oh, the memories… the memories!!!
As dozens and dozens of us jocose, loquacious, costumed (not to mention bejeweled) guests were walking from the cafe pavilion towards the big pavilion in the moonlight, by the river, lit by torches, I told myself: "This is one of the magical evenings of your life, Toto, savor it for all its worth…" And indeed, it was magical: under the moonlight and the fiery torches, one could still see the sea of shimmering silks of brilliant colors, embroidery, appliquees, sequins, and the glittering gems, both genuine and faux, of this happy and privileged troupe come to honor their good friend and to enjoy the lavish feast of the senses he had laid out for them.
There was something in the air that evening: some kind of indefinable happiness, joy, and insouciance which permeated everyone and everything. Yes, the insouciance was infectious. We were all carefree that evening, free from all problems and inhibitions, merriment was the order of the night. For that one moonlit evening, Ado's "1,000 most intimate friends" were not their usual selves: NOT taipans, taitais, dons, donas, big businessmen, big businesswomen, real estate developers, shipping titans, logistics moguls, ambassadors, diplomats, senators, congressmen, mayors, technocrats, bankers, financiers, architects, jewellers, interior designers, fashion designers, antique dealers, chefs, photographers, writers, gourmets, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, etc.. All were just well-wishing party guests out for a great time. We were laughing at ourselves, amazed at how we managed to dress in those splendid, even outlandish costumes. The ladies mock-blamed Ado: "My goodness! Only Ado can get us to do these crazy things!" while adjusting their headdresses, checking their jewelry — earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, & anklets, and inspecting their shoes. The gentlemen preened like peacocks, pleased with their handsome appearances and opulent garb, and chuckled among themselves.
Oh yes, in Manila, there are parties and there are parties. But even heedless Php millions spent, a top hotel ballroom in its entirety, Php 10,000/pax dinners, endless French grand cru wines and champagne, top live bands, an AAA guest list clad in Brioni and Chanel with suitably well-dressed yayas carrying their "it bags," shod in G.J. Cleverley & Blahniks, and arriving in the latest Benzes & Bimmers, top party planners, Crane invitations, gold and diamond jewelry and Cristal Baccarat giveaways, do not necessarily a great/fantastic party make. I have observed that firsthand. In fact, I've witnessed, shellshocked, several such parties fall flat for some really unusual and weird reasons. But Ado Escudero's 80th bash, for all its amusing, charming, and bewildering hiccups, had that all-too-elusive MAGICAL SPARK which will forever distinguish it as one of the greatest fetes every held in the Philippines.
And it was not an entirely A-List party, not at all. Ado himself was very clear about that from the start and was the first to declare it candidly. He knew it would not sit well with the several society/sassiety rags covering his bash — the usual spiel "Who are all these people???!!!" — but he didn't care. He wanted his many, many friends, a thousand of them to be specific, at his 80th milestone celebration, regardless of economic and social stature, indeed all sublevels of class A, B, & C were present, although of course there were many of Ado's truly affluent peers present. Truly, he is au courante: politically correct and in tune with the times. It is also why his party, despite the seeming opulence and lavishness of it all, has not merited the usual media brickbats of conspicuous consumption and social insensitivity from socialist/leftist critics and commentators. Bal populaire it certainly was not, but yes, Juan & Juana de la Cruz, a great many of them, were present at their Ka Ado Escudero's grand 80th celebration, and they enjoyed it to the same degree — got all dressed up, ate a lot, danced merrily, and had a whale of a time — like everybody else.
I belonged to the Morocco contingent of heiress Maria Victoria "Marivic" Madrigal Vazquez (a granddaughter of Vicente Madrigal, one of the Philippines' richest men of all time), so I had to line up with them. Her merry troupe included socialite Patty Johnson-Jalbuena, Lipa City Colleges owner and VP Glecy Mojares, Hermes & Bulgari Manila exec Nympha Javier-Valencia, senior journalist Ethel Soliven-Timbol, designer Raul Luancing, and several others. My dear friend, top costume designer Eric Pineda, dressed fantastically as Jadis, the Ice Witch from Narnia, complete with LED lights, joined the troupe. I was dressed by Eric Pineda and bejeweled by top couture jewelry designer Gerry Sunga, another dear friend, as "Suleiman the Magnificent," Emperor of the Ottoman empire (Turkish actually, but then everybody was a delightful mishmash anyway). It was a splendid costume which drew rave reviews from practically everyone present. Before the Morocco contingent was the Bali one with heritage advocate Cora Relova and thespian Tony Marino; after Morocco was the Hawaii contingent with leading publisher Gus Vibal and his friends.
"Yaya! Where's my mirror?"
"You look faaabulous, darling!"
"I'm hungry… I'll eat anything… Anything!"
"You eat one bite and your costume will pop open!"
"Ferdie (driver), go to the car and get my hopia!"
"Ha ha ha! While you were having your make-up done earlier, Bobby & I went back here and had cocktails. We're OK!"
"You know, I already gained weight since I had my costume made! The waist is tight! Argh!"
"What do you expect? You keep on eating out!"
"I couldn't decide on what sari to wear… and what jewelry to wear… pink diamonds with the blue sari, or blue sapphires with the pink sari? yellow diamonds with the green, or emeralds with the red? Or rubies? I feel underdressed… You all look so fantastic!"
"I don't know about you but I'm wearing all fake! I don't care if anything falls while I'm drunk!"
"Mrs. Marcos is here!"
"Is Eden Volante with her?"
"Ay! My heels!"
"I told you to wear your wedgies, but you wouldn't listen."
"Oh dear, my make-up's already running… help me to retouch!"
"Mygawd! You have the whole Rustan's beauty section in your bag!"
"Oh no, this bag goes after the retouch, I don't want to have to lug it around. Yaya! Carry this bag after I finish, OK? And be careful!"
"Hi Gorgeous Guy! How about dancing with me tonight?"
"How about something more than just dancing tonight, Gorgeous Girl?!"
"What about me, Gorgeous Guy??? I'm Gorgeous Gay!!!"
"Well, OK, you too…"
We all stood on the wooden bridge leading to the big pavilion awaiting our turn to be presented when fireworks announced the forthcoming arrival from upstream of Ado in his 2-storey pagoda escorted by other boats with pyrotechnics and performers. It was a sight to be remembered by his guests for all time…
It was Conrado "Ado" Escudero's 80th birthday and he finally held his long-promised, and equally long-awaited Oriental ball, "The Carnival of the Four Continents." It was a celebration he had anticipated since he was 70, 10 years ago…
It was the culmination, the highest point of Ado Escudero's very giving and very social life. But certainly not the end.
Far from it.
Memory tidbit: "Tutubi"

Where did all the beautiful "tutubi" dragonflies go??? We used to have many of them in the garden before…
Memory tidbit: Childhood games
April 27, 2013 at 2:48 pm (Comedy Relief, Family Traditions, Gonzalez de Sulipan, Humor, Manila Houses, Personal, Random memories, The Global Crowd, The Manilenos, The Pampanguenos)
We didn't have all these techie gadgets which keep the children indoors the whole day these days. At best, we had the standard board and card games from the USA like Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, Snakes & Ladders, Old Maid, etc.. We even had a Ouija board and enjoyed it immensely until my eldest brother said it was The Bad Guy making the glass move!!! We played Toilet on Lola Charing's exquisite English Regency-style "klismos" chairs by Sr JAO with the removable cushions (now museum pieces; the Catalan Sr O made beautiful furniture for Manila's richies; he was married to one of the city's richest ladies), pretending to poopoo with the corresponding noises during lunch and dinner parties, to the dismay and embarrassment of our parents. We pretended to be gymnasts at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, aping Roumanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci who scored continuous perfect 10.0s and ruining 3 bed cushions in the process. But even those were not enough to keep us pesky children inside the house the whole day. We had the gardens, the streets, and the parks to play in, as well as the jaunts to the country clubs and the hotels. We played War, throwing fallen fruits like santol, caimito, rambutan, kamias, & duhat as cannonballs across windows and fences. We played Rape (talk about childhood violence!?) wherein I the Rapist would pull down the dress zippers at the backs of the obliging, giggling girls, "single size" for half of the zipper length and "family size" for the full zipper length (just to show how much, or how little, parental or even "yaya" supervision we had in our preteens…). And we didn't even know what real rape was! Bwahahah! We played 1973 Miss Universe, aping Margie Moran, Gloria Diaz, and Amparo Munoz, using paper cutout crowns. Presumably like all children, we played all throughout those summers…
During my childhood days, being techie was all in the mind. Being able to operate the Bose stereo system, the Sony Betamax video player/recorder, and the Sony Walkman was enough to impress the adults and to qualify as a techie.

The searing heat of summer also brings back memories of childhood gardens, specially Lola Charing's garden. The garden of "Dona Charing" (Rosario Espiritu Arnedo-Gonzalez) was famous in the 40s, 50s, 60s, & 70s for its big American roses, in a city where even small roses did not thrive naturally. During its heyday, a group of hardy gardeners kept that Eden in bloom rather expensively. And we grandchildren had the run of the place, specially during the summers of the 60s & 70s.

English Grammar Basic
Indians have great love and admiration for English language. This is, in spite of the onslaught by various Governments in Independent India, giving importance to native languages. English teachers are one of the most respected lots among the society. Each teacher has his technique in teaching English. The author of this article, as a freelance teacher to adults has some methods to teach Grammar. Nine of them are listed in the following paragraphs.
I. Parts of Speech compared to Parts of Human Body:
The author used to compare the 8 parts of speech to a gorgeously dressed woman as follows:
1. Nouns and Pronouns: Head.
2 adjectives and adverbs: Garments and ornaments.
3. Prepositions and conjunctions: Various joints of the body.
4. Interjections: Footwear.
5. Verbs: The LIFE in the human body...
Head is the most important part of the physical body. Likewise nouns (and pronouns) form the subject and object of a sentence and lead the sentences in active and passive voices respectively. The subject noun is the Karta (doer, owner) of the sentence which it leads. & it determines the nature of the verb depending on numbers (singular or plural),
Adjectives and adverbs are like ornaments and garments adding lustre and beauty to a sentence. A garment is not a part of the physical body but required to glorify a sentence. A person who knows the best use of adjectives stands unique in writing and speaking English. The problem with Indians lies mainly with usage of adjectives. They wish to speak impressive English and most of the time they fail because of lack of vocabulary in adjectives and adverbs.
Prepositions and conjunctions are like internal joints, joining various parts and positioning them. The body cannot function properly without these joints. A sentence will be complete only when conjunctions and prepositions are properly formed. Otherwise one has to depend upon sign language only.
Thus, we have briefly seen a comparison of parts of speech to parts of human body leaving discussions about VERBS to the following paragraphs.

5 Things Following Mitt Romney's Bus Tour
Paid protesters, a giant pack of birth control pills, and a plane trail the Republican through swing states.
1. The DNC
The Democratic National Committee has sent its "Under the Bus" bus to states where Romney is also visiting.
2. The MoveOn "Romneymobile"
Not to be outdone, MoveOn has been sending out a Cadillac with a fake dog on the roof called the "Romneymobile."
3. The MoveOn Plane
MoveOn has also been sending out a plane that flies messages denouncing Romney over his bus tour events.
4. Pillamina
Planned Parenthood announced today that Pillamina, a human in a birth control costume, will tail Romney as well. Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Liz Clark said that Pillamina will be a different person at each stop, and she's already made appearances in New Hampshire and Ohio. She does not have her own bus.
5. Paid Hecklers
As reported by BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins, protesters being paid to show up and heckle Romney are now in on the act too.
- The gun allegedly used by an undocumented immigrant to shoot and kill a woman on a San Francisco pier last week may have been stolen from a federal agent.
- Fox has secured the rights to make a movie about the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on marriage equality.
- Subway has suspended Jared Fogle, the weight-loss guy from their commercials, due to an FBI investigation.


text: I stayed here for three nights in mid-January. The B&B itself is very clean and vey pleasant; Elena is friendly but certainly not in your face and the breakfast was delicious. The crowning glory of the whole trip though occured when I arrived back there mid-way through my stay to discover that the workman had removed the scaffolding to reveal the marvellously renovated central courtyard of the palazzo - so now the view from my bedroom was of an amazing Renaissance palazzo! Torino is a baroque marvel that I would recommend as a hidden treasure of Europe but then to go back a century was a real added pleasure.

As long as you are fighting you are the winner...
Well, somehow it doesn't come easy to describe yourself... But let me try: I am quite strong personality, persistent in pursuing my dreams in spite of all odds. Hard working, honest and loyal. Sometimes can seem a little shy, but it s because I am very introvertical person, don't like to waste time on "nonsense", thus avoiding talks or activities that don't contribute much into my personal or career development. Am not very easy to handle, I have to admit. Need a man who will find the "key" to open me up and will be able to handle extremes in me: sensitiveness and fragility and at the same time my strong personality. I have lived and worked on different continents, including developing countries, so am quite open minded, yet still have strong family values. It's "high time" for me to think about starting a family, so am looking for serious relationship rather than dating. The man I m looking for: Smart and charming, with good sense of humor, yet still humble.Strong and independent, but at the same time warm, loving and tender. Ambitious, hard working, energetic and with passion for life and what he does. Open-minded, yet with strong family values and big sense of responsibility. LOYAL, trustworthy, mature, committed and willing to compromise in order to build a strong, happy and fulfilling long lasting relationship, based on trust, loyalty, honesty and understanding, instead of expecting things should work themselves and looking for excuses to give up when they don't.

Current Ethical Issues in Neuroimaging Adina Roskies Dartmouth College Presentation to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, February 28, 2011 Neuroimaging • Primarily diagnostic, descriptive/predictive, non- interventional • Can be used in conjunction with interventional techniques like TMS, DBS which raise other ethical issues • "We are our brains" more immediate than "We are our genes" Parallels with HGP ELSI • Many similar informational risks • Some differences: • potential to pose a different kind of privacy threat • consent issues • usually the information does not affect people other than subject • neurological cases often involve competence Privacy/potential forensic uses of neuroimaging • Mental Content • MVPA allows prediction of visual content on basis of brain data (Mitchell et al, 2008, Shinkareva et al. 2008, Just et al. 2010) • Lie/truth detection • knowledge/familiarity • measures of arousal • measures of subjective but not objective familiarity (Rissman, Greely & Wagner, 2010) • pain Mental Privacy, Lie detection • Techniques for assessing these better than chance, but: • experimental design problems • experimental confounds • unknown base rates (prevalence in the relevant population) • are apt to be misleading • All these provide only probabilistic information Prediction • Prediction of brain disease • Potential forensic uses of predictive neuroimaging • Aggression/Antisocial behavior • Recidivism • Mental illness • Probabilistic information, no definitive predictions can currently be made • In many cases, we don't know baserates The ethics of consciousness • Recent developments in understanding/diagnosing disorders of consciousness • Mental imagery (Owen et al., 2006, Monti et al. 2010) • Trace conditioning (Bekinschtein et al., 2009) • Ethical implications of these developments for extending life, pain management, quality of life considerations • Underlying importance of considerations of welfare and autonomy Responsibility and culpability • Biological picture puts pressure on commonsense notions of free will • Neuroscience puts pressure even a more sophisticated notion of free will (reasons- responsiveness) • How do we integrate the finding that biological factors affect ethical conduct with theories of responsibility? • Ethical issues arising from such understanding, including judgments of culpability, effects of interventions, ethics of interventions, etc. Public (mis)understanding • General scientific literacy • Specific problems with understanding neuroimaging data • Mistaken beliefs in biological (genetic, neural) determinism • Lack of recognition of brain plasticity and its consequences • Lack of appreciation of extent of individual variation • Difference ≠ dysfunction or disease Ethical questions • The ethics of privacy • The ethics of prediction • The nature and value of consciousness • Theory of responsibility commensurate with a scientific understanding of behavior • Consideration of the concepts of "authenticity" and "autonomy" and their connections to and relative priority regarding considerations of welfare and other values Other important policy issues • Understanding range of individual variability is essential for proper interpretation of information, yet determination of such information not structurally encouraged • Responsible education of public and media
