[iningki]

Good morning, mahal! Nasa work na ako. Holiday talaga ngayon but since J.O ako, may pasok. Sayang din yung 500+ a day na sahod. Tatambay lang din naman ako sa bahay. I hope you're still sleeping well, mahal.

I have something to share. Diba last time sa work, yung med tech namin, nagkwento sya ng about sa mga paranormal shits. I think 2 or 3 days straight kase, nagigising ako ng madaling araw. Mag sleep ako ng 11 pm and I'll suddenly wake up ng around 2 am. Weird. Pero lately kase, I've been sleeping na nagm-music. Naka-speaker ako, mahal. Sa lahat daw kase ng lugar, meron talagang spirit. May mga spirit na gusto maingay, may mga gusto tahimik. Kaya baka ginigising ako kase ang ingay sa room ko.

[pilyongpinoy]

1-2-3

Alam na. Marinig mo palang yan alam mo na ang ibig kong sabihin. Alam na alam yan ng mga Pinoy. Lahat na ata tayo ay nakaranas o nagparanas ng 1-2-3. Hindi numero kung ugali ang kinakabit natin sa mga numerong ito.

Pag sinabing 1-2-3, ikaw ay naloko, natakbuhan, nagoyo o nagulangan. Pinakatalamak na talaga na pagwa-123 ay sa jeep. Dahil kapos ang pamasahe mo o kaya naman ay dahil inis na inis ka kay manong driver dahil kung kailan nagmamadali ka at saka sya nagpa-gas kaya ang ending ay hindi ka na lang nagbayad. 1-2-3 ang tawag don.

Natakbuhan ka din kung hindi mo mahanap ang may utang sa iyo. Na sa tuwing hahanapin mo sya ay bigla na lang itong nawawala na parang instant magic. Tapos kapag nakita ka o nakasalubong sa daan ay biglang mag-iiba ng direksyon. Tapos sisingilin mo naman sila pa ang magagalit. Pagkalipas naman ng ilang araw, mawawala na naman sila na parang bula. Ayun, na-123 ka nga.

Kaya siguro may mga konduktor sa bus ay dahil sa mga taong mahilig magtulug-tulugan sa bus para hindi masingil ng konduktor. May iba naman na kapag sinita ng konduktor ay sasabihing nagbayad na. Kapag hiningi ang ticket, kunwari maghahanap sa bag at sasabihing hindi mahanap ang ticket. Ang ending ay magagalit pa sa konduktor. Bilib ang ko sa lakas ng fighting spirit ng mga ganoong tao. May iba naman na paglalapit sa konduktor ay biglang lilingon sa bintana sabay lagay ng headset sa tenga para kunwari walang naririnig. Hindi lang konduktor ang naninita kung pati narin ang mga bus inspector. Para walang kawala ang mga di nakapagbayad.

Bata palang tayo sinasabi na sa atin ng ating magulang at guro na Honesty is the Best Policy. Iniisip ko nga na sana maging batas na lang ito at tawaging Honesty Law. Ito ay batas kung saan lahat nga tao na magsisinungaling at manloloko ay makukulong ng pitong taon. Kasama na dito ang mga magnanakaw, nanlilinlang, at mga paasa. Marahil kaya hindi ginagawang batas ito ay dahil magkukulang ang mga kulungan natin sa bansa dahil lagpas sa kalahati ng populasyon natin ang makukulong. Hindi rin naman papayag ang mga congressman at senador sa law nya yan kaya tyak ibabasura lang nila ang mungkahi na iyan.

1-2-3 din ang ginagawa ng mga pulpol na politiko sa atin. Saan ba napupunta ang mga buwis na binabayad natin. Galit na galit tayo dahil anlaki ng kinakaltas sa atin plus pagkain lang natin ng fries binubuwisan din. Sabagay parehas na nagsisimula sa B ang Buwis at ang Buwaya. Sa B din nagsisimula ang salitang Barubal. Na-123 din tayo sa ating karapatang pantao na inaalis sa atin ng gobyerno. Mas masakit ata ang alisin ang dangal natin kesa sa otcho pesos na pamasahe.

Uso din ang 123 sa yung 500 mo? Gawin nating limang libo. Mga pyramid scam na yan at fly now pay later na bogus. Mga recruiter na sasabihin nila na mapapabuti ang buhay mo abroad pero gagawin kang pokpok. Mga batikan na at professional na panloloko na ang nangyayari sa atin. Tulad ng pagbebenta ng mga pampaputi daw at pantanggal ng pimples. Pero ang totoo, wala namang nangyayari sa atin.

Pero masakit ding ma 1-2-3 sa pag-ibig kasi emosyon na ang nakasalalay dito. Liligawan ka ng lalaki pero kapag nabuntis ka na, bye bye na bhe ko, iyo na ang baby mo. Natakbuhan ka na nga.

Kanya-kanyang 1-2-3 na kwento naman yan. Ikaw? Anong kwentong 1-2-3 mo?

男女愛愛，享受肌膚親密的時刻，如果能隨心所「慾」，更能讓感情增溫。但是，有一些伴侶卻總是只會一招體位撐全場，或是短短幾分鐘就草草收兵。雖然，性愛不必等於上演A片，但是，透過日本AV男優累積1萬人次性愛經驗，其中有一些魚水交歡的床戰心得，卻是值得從中汲取兩性奧妙，作為兩人私密的性愛寶典。

日本AV男優清水健，擁有豐富床戰體驗

在日本有「AV帝王」之稱的男優「清水健」，從業20餘年、年產量超過500部作品、性經驗總交戰數突破1萬人次的性愛經驗，擁有豐富床戰體驗，並且長期向醫師專業諮詢相關生理知識，撰寫成新書《天王AV男優清水健完美性愛實戰講座》。現在，你和親愛的伴侶，不必再從電腦的D槽偷偷觀看影片，在這一本性愛寶典中，他將分享什麼是最高極致快感的「勞斯萊斯式體位」、真正超級舒服的體位「火車便當式」的祕訣。

★極致快感的體位：勞斯萊斯式

《祕訣》：腰部對準子宮頸動作

所謂「勞斯萊斯式」體位，其實就是女性上半身向後仰的正坐背後式。而事實上正坐背後式有以下三種類型：

①女性全身收聚在一起的正坐型。

②女性的雙手向前延伸、上半身向上提起的正坐型。

③男性把女性的肩膀拉靠近自己，讓女性上半身完全向後仰的類型。

對於上面這種女性上半身向後仰的正坐背後式，清水健將其命名為「勞斯萊斯式」。這個命名的由來，是因為它與高級轎車勞斯萊斯（Rolls Royce）引擎蓋上佇立的車標「歡慶女神」（Spirit of Ecstasy）塑像十分相似的緣故。而且，兩者都是「最高等級」的。

最高極致快感的「勞斯萊斯式體位」。（圖片提供／尖端出版社）

勞斯萊斯式為什麼如此舒服？關鍵理由就在於插入角度及施力方向。

勞斯萊斯式體位快感度>正坐背後式

關於各式各樣體位的快感度，清水健已經擁有不少量化的資料。普通背後式的快感度是「70 Itta」（「Itta」音同日語的「高潮」，在這裡作為快感度的單位用。順帶一提，有趣的單位是「Waha」）、正坐背後式是「90 Itta」、上半身稍微向上提起的正坐背後式是「150 Itta」，然後，勞斯萊斯式則是「300 Itta」（以上數值出自清水健的調查）。

加上刺激陰蒂和乳頭　完成四點進攻制霸

勞斯萊斯式為什麼如此舒服？關鍵理由就在於插入角度及施力方向。處於這個體位時，進入陰道的陰莖會剛好穿越並摩擦G點，之後抵達子宮頸性感帶。接著，當男性握住女性的肩膀固定，或是輕輕向後拉靠近自己時，就能夠與腰部動作的向量相互碰撞（不是向子宮進攻，而是對準子宮頸部位給予刺激）。

另外，如果此時還有餘裕，就空出一隻手來愛撫陰蒂。然後，再以另一隻手來刺激乳頭（如果辦得到的話就使出「乳頭神爪」一次抓住兩個乳頭）。這麼一來，陰莖進攻「G點和子宮頸」加上兩手刺激「陰蒂和乳頭」，就完成了精彩絕倫的四點進攻制霸！

親密關係中找到兩人都感到愉快的體位很重要。

★超級舒服的體位：火車便當式

《祕訣》：在於脖子相互緊貼

一聽到「火車便當式」，好像很多人覺得是「很累人的體位」、「需要體力的體位」或「為了表演才會用的體位」。但是，那完全是錯誤的觀念。清水健強調，火車便當式能夠借助重力來幫助律動，是一個非常舒服的體位。

訣竅在於，女性不要伸長手臂，兩人的脖子相互緊靠，感覺像是合體變成一根棒子，彼此的身體緊密貼合在一起。如果女性以伸長的手臂攬住男性脖子，兩人的脖子之間拉開距離，就像是達可娃娃（小黑人氣球娃娃，日文名為「��ッコちゃん」）一樣，呈現搖搖晃晃不穩定的狀態，支撐女性身體的男性馬上就會感覺到自己的腰部和手臂非常吃力。

覺得火車便當式很累的人，就是因為沒有做到這一點。例如倒立時，如果身體完全垂直於地面，很容易就能取得平衡；一旦身體呈歪斜狀態，想要取得平衡就變得十分費力。火車便當式也是相同道理。

男性手肘關節內角為銳角，避免力量減弱

因此，女性應該盡可能將自己的脖子貼在男性的脖子上，使兩人的上半身呈現垂直於地面的狀態。此時，男性的手肘關節要固定在內角為銳角的角度，使手臂肌肉更好施展力量。這就跟比腕力的時候一樣，如果手肘內角打開超過九十度，肌肉不容易施力，力量就會變得很弱。然後，以手肘內側支撐女性從膝蓋窩至臀部的大腿部位。

NG範例─火車頭便當式。（圖片提供／尖端出版社）

▲（NG範例）女性的手臂伸長、男性抱著女性的膝蓋窩。

男性以這種姿勢無法支撐女性的體重，沒辦法做活塞運動。

OK範例─火車頭便當式。（圖片提供／尖端出版社）

▲（OK範例）只要女性的脖子緊靠著男性的脖子，兩人合體成為一根棒子，就不需要花費多餘的力量。

男性支撐著女人的臀部，以腰部搖擺扭動。

[kaorei-endgame]

Yo Dave, any thoughts on ni-oh? also I'm totally recommending you watch my hero academia. Its my favorite shonen in forever and the first season has one of the best fights in all of anime.

Combat's got some decent quirks to it and you KNOW I'm all in on that sweet-sweet yokai learning--however for every one Yuki Onna you encounter you gotta go through like forty identical oni and then the next level is another forty identical oni except now they can spit a fireball. Which I could deal with if the level design were a little more engaging, or if the aesthetics gave me more than "burning village," or if the co-op wasn't effectively jailed behind NG+ (or anyway, you gotta beat a level before you can co-op it) or like if the shit Diablo loot didn't ruin all sense of progression and empowerment like Diablo loot always does (while forcing a labor tax of constantly cleaning trash gear out of your inventory) All that said it's probably the best Souls-like I've played, not the least of which because you can upgrade your LIGHTNING SHEEB into DOUBLE LIGHTNING SHEEB--but honestly I only got as far in it as I did because I figured out how easy it was to cheese basically everything with the kusarigama's trip move.But I feel very "bang on the table/GIVE HIM THE TREATS" emoji that a game with kusarigamas, yuki onnas, and !?DOUBLE LIGHTNING SHEEBS?!being a letdown is the greatest crime of our video game times since Dino Crisis 3 managed to screw up Laser Zombie Ninja Dinosaurs + Jetpacks.Uhhh also I read a chunk of My Hero Academia and fell off it when something else caught my attention. 500+ episodes of One Piece was all the time I could handle in the Shonen Mines and it's time to let the new generation bear the flag of Plucky Protagonist With The Bad Power And Ganbare Spirit.I would still trade a lot for a 👌 and 👍 video game about Japanese mythology but then again I got a whole slew of Onimishas I could replay and some of those got crazy knife doll ghosts and sliding block puzzles and Jean Reno. ❤️

Thursday 21 May 1829

5 1/2

11 55/60

Breakfast at 6 10/60 off at 6 3/4 – at the lecture room in 50 minutes – 10 minutes before the lecture began which lasted an hour from 7 1/2 by the lecture room clock – then for 1/2 hour walked about the jardin, to the belle vue, having call[e]d at M. Desfontaines house and being unable to get in – went into the lecture room again at 9 and sat reading the Leçon for today the 12th – Chemical lecture from 9 20/60 to 10 50/60 concluding with the experiment of reducing liquid gaz acide sulfureux to its natural state of gaz permanent in which process some mercury under an exhausted receiver that ought to have been frozen, was hot, on account of the heat of the atmosphere – vide leçone 12[me] page 8 at the bottom – the smell of the sulphur was very bad – said M Langier to me on coming away when I spoke to him you see what it is to attend chemical lectures – the botanical lecture on Tuesday and today interesting – 

On Tuesday (on the growth of the wood, canal Medullaire etc. vide Mérat’s botany page 38 et seq. to 45) after the lecture was over (on Tuesday) went up to the table, and asked M. Desfontaines the question with what matter was the trace of the character on the wood filled up (vide Mérat page 45) and why did this matter look flackish so as to contrast stronger with the rest of the wood – he answered very civilly, and at some length tho[ugh] I w[a]s n[o]t in fact m[u]ch the wiser for it – To day we h[a]d slight recapitulation of the last lecture about the canal médullaire, etc. and more particularly on the growth of the wood etc. vide page 47 Mérat – M. Desfontaines enlarged upon ringing fruit trees to hasten the maturity of the fruit (we lash walnut trees in England to make them bear) and upon peeling oak trees for some time before felling as we did in England to strengthen the timber for shipping building – proved that the life of a tree was chiefly in the bark – had remarks on cambium (vide Mérat p[age] 46) quite supported the doctrine as given in Mérats note – on piercing poplars in the spring and it was the same with other trees, a stream of pure water rushed out when the gimlet reached i.e. pierced the couche of wood enclosing the moelle – this water on rising would be elaborated by the leaves and returned as good sap or ambium? to increase the growth of the tree – when we cut sycamores too late in the spring, I have seen this water rising in little bubbles equally all over the trunk, not in the middle only –

Got home in 52 minutes at 11 55/60 – found Dr Tupper here, evidently come to say we might his apartment now if we liked – declined it – said I had made up my mind to have a spare room for a friend, and therefore the apartment would be too small – came to my room as soon as he went at 12 20/60 – was just dozing when Mrs Barlow came and sat with me till 2 1/2 – came to say that Préauz her servant Ferdinande’s husband wished much to live with us – has 600 francs a year at present at a restaurant – would come to us for 450 not including washing, wine, etc. on mentioning it afterwards to Madame Galvani, she said it was the ordinary gage for a cuisinier – said ‘I would think about it – Madame Galvani to come at 2 1/2 -

Met her down stairs at near 3 by our clock (1/4 hour too soon) and took her in a fiacre to no.357 rue Saint Honoré to see the apartment I saw yesterday – an hour there – she delighted with it – long talk with the proprietor – said he would take 4500 francs a year – the sol pour livre de portier and eclairage (stairs lighted with gas) would come to about 9 p.c the tax for doors and windows would be I guessed about 50/. so that we might count upon 500 in addition to the rent – said I would consider about it – and write my answer tomorrow or the day after - Then took Madame Galvani to see M. Séne’s apartment in the rue neuve Saint Augustin could not see the premier – the lady had objected to its being shewn, because it was agreed it should not be shewn – saw the 2nde which is undergoing repairs – poor looking concern after the other apartment – 

Got home in 1 1/2 hour about 4 1/2 – Madame Galvani sat with me 1/2 hour – dictated a note to the proprietor declining his apartment rue Saint Honoré – said I the furniture would cost 2000/. a year – then the apartment would be altogether 7000/. far too much to give when my aunt could not see comfortably – then wrote all this journal of today which took me till after 6 – Dinner at 6 1/4 – M. Forest came at 7 1/4 and dressed my hair in 1/2 hour 

with black gauze gold embroidered ribband put on in boughs nice enough. Mrs Decantes came at twenty minutes past eight by the Tuileries instead of quarter before eight and dressed me in about twenty minutes, my gown too long but I looked tolerably well altogether. Went in to my aunt staid some time with her then came to my room walked about for ten minutes practising how to come in to a room and make a courtesy etc. etc. I have done this last night or two, anything but pleasure this going by ones self, not agreeable. Had thought this morning and last night of writing and asking the Count de Noe but then again thought it better not. Let me rough it by myself and try what I can do, spirited myself up. Rather nervous about it as I went but really very little so considering, luckily or the contrary, I was the very first nobody but Lady Stuart in the room for a minute. Then came two ladies and a gent the old lady a Mrs Sheldon? mother of the young and we went in to the greenhouse and I talked enough to set me at ease. 

Miss Hobart did not come of some time and she really behaved very well, quite attentive enough to satisfy me. She introduced me to Mrs Hamilton just as I was coming away, Mrs Hamilton being then only just arrived. Did not think so much of her tonight nor would I have tried whether she would have chosen to talk to me when I had not Miss Hobart at my elbow. Miss Hobart walked out with me and called one of the servants to order my carriage and left me. She had shaken hands on meeting and done all that was proper on my coming away as we entered the anteroom so did the Hagermans Miss Hobart stopt to speak to her sister saying go in to the conservatory and you will see a lady in red with white feathers and that is Lady Stuart. Ah, thought I, I may be satisfied your manner has been quite as considerate to me as it seems to be to your sister who is, by the way, a little unstylish and plain, almost rather vulgar looking little person a bad edition of Mrs Foster he an insignificant looking little man not much taller than his wife and not near so tall as I am heartily glad to have got it over so well so on after Miss Hobart came down a sort of small octagon table with a cloth cover on was brought through the room ‘what can that be for’ said Miss Hamilton to herself but as if turning to me for ecartee said I ‘not a square table for ecartee’ said she voila the only bad hit I made and there near an hour I think I did very well and ought to be satisfied –

How Batangueños join hands to aid victims of Taal unrest

#PHnews: How Batangueños join hands to aid victims of Taal unrest

MANILA-- They say tough times don't last forever.

And so at the height of the rumbling of Taal Volcano, which poses danger to residents nearby, donations pour in for the victims of the volcano's unrest.

Taal Volcano's magmatic eruption on Sunday brought out the kindness and generosity in people in the neighboring areas of the affected municipalities in Batangas, including Talisay, Laurel, Agoncillo, Taal and Lemery.

Authorities in these areas recommended a total evacuation due to heavy ashfall brought about by the restless volcano.

The aftermath of the volcano eruption caused ashes which covered roofs, cars, and streets near Taal.

But the disaster showed the kind and gentle Batangueño spirit.

Aside from a few spewing of ashes, Sto. Tomas, San Pascual, and Batangas City were safer grounds for residents who evacuated from their communities.

Residents of San Pascual welcomed more than 500 individuals from Balisong, Agoncillo, and Lemery, where they stayed at the San Antonio Elementary School.

'This is our battle'

San Pascual residents welcomed the victims wholeheartedly, helped and fed them, knowing that the evacuees were starving on their way to evacuation centers.

Jorjuanna Pacia along with her family and neighbors residing in Barangay Sto. Nino in San Pascual volunteered to prepare the needs of the evacuees.

"Nakakagaan ng pakiramdam na nakikita mo yung mga kababayan mo na ligtas, hindi mo man sila kakilala pero parang pakiramdam mo nakahanap ka ng pamilya sa ganitong sitwasyon. Ibang klaseng saya ang hatid nun (It feels good seeing your 'kababayan' safe from harm. You may not know them personally, but in this kind of situation, it feels like you found a family and it brings a special kind of happiness]" she said.

Early morning of January 13, Pacia and her niece stayed in the evacuation center to entertain evacuees from other municipalities.

They served arroz caldo or chicken rice porridge, and boxes of water.

"We will still be here until the eruption activities of Taal Volcano stop and we pray that everything will go back to normal as soon as possible," she said.

At the corner of the school's covered court, people were busy preparing for packs of foods.

Fely Alay, who was with her daughter and other relatives, prepared food which will be distributed to the evacuees for dinner.

Albay is a housewife and a mother of two. She does laundry for a living and her husband is a house painter. She does the donation with her sister-in-law and her entire family. The physical efforts and financial assistance were just nothing compared to the comfort they could extend to those who needed their support.

She said residents in San Pascual were lucky that they do not have to experience evacuating from one place to another, but it melts her heart seeing some people endure the disaster.

"I am very saddened about what happened to my fellow Batanguenos. We are just lucky that our place was not totally damaged. We will extend any kind of help to them as much as they needed." she said.

She said in times of catastrophes, no one will help people but their own neighbors, hence she vowed to look after the evacuees and let them feel that the battle is not theirs alone.

"This is a fight of the entire Batangas, a battle of all Batanguenos," she said.

Taal Volcano erupted Sunday afternoon forcing residents nearby to evacuate from their homes, as experts warned of a "hazardous eruption."

"What more I can say? I am very saddened by their condition right now. Imagine, they have to leave their livelihoods and their homes just to get away with the harmful effects of Taal volcano's eruption," Albay added.

Lending a hand

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported the volcano exhibited a fast escalation in volcanic activity, which triggered health hazards and structural damages to the municipalities nearby Taal.

As the agency raised the alert status of the volcano, Maricon Cassanova and her family scrambled to safety on Monday from their place in Balisong.

Along with her mother-in-law who was in a wheelchair, they rushed to the San Antonio evacuation center, one of the safer grounds for them to stay.

Cassanova said they were warmly welcomed in the evacuation center, where she witnessed the spirit of 'bayanihan' there.

"This place is tidy, the people in San Pascual are accommodating us accordingly when it comes to food, items of clothing and our other needs. We just hope and pray everything will be back into normal," she said.

She said they experienced power interruption right after the volcanic eruption, which made it hard for them to stay with open communication lines.

"It's my first time to experience this kind of situation, but I never felt alone on this experience because even the people who didn't have to evacuate are staying with us, making us feel better. I am very much grateful to all of your help," she said.

At the height of the disaster, different state agencies and non-government organizations already extended support to the victims of Taal's unrest.

Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Chairman and CEO Senator Richard Gordon ordered the immediate mobilization of teams and PRC assets to aid in the ongoing evacuations of residents affected by the eruption of Taal Volcano.

Meanwhile, Mark Leandro Mendoza of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) Southern Tagalog District, the volunteer and civilian organization of the PCGA, said their organization has conducted an assessment to monitor the needs of the evacuees and extend whatever support they can.

Mendoza said the evacuees are in need of more packed foods, water, sleeping kits and face masks to protect them from the hazardous effects of the ashfall.

He said PCGA Southern Tagalog is open for the donation from other organizations and is willing to assist them in the distribution.

He urged the residents of Batangas to stay calm in the midst of the events saying they can "get through this calamity." (PNA)

PH’s first 'Bahay-Wika' opens in Bataan

 ABUCAY, Bataan -- The first “Bahay-Wika” in the country aimed at saving endangered Philippine languages was opened on Thursday at an Aeta village adjacent to the slope of Mount Natib in Barangay Bangkal here.

Mayor Liberato Santiago Jr. and national artist Virgilio Almario, chairman of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, led the opening of the building that will also serve as classroom for Aeta children to learn the Ayta Magbukun language.

Aeta children, five years old and below, will be taught the language.

Aeta elders performed the “Riwal ng Pagpapasalamat” where they drew chicken blood while chanting some sort of a thanksgiving prayer. They then went around the building as if driving away bad spirits.

Gladys Gulisan, 23, one of the three Aeta teachers in Bahay-Wika, taught some forms of greetings in their language including "Aypara" or "kumusta ka" (how are you); "Yaraw wa awlu" or "magandang araw" (good day) and the answer -- "Yaraw matan" or "ayos naman" (its fine).

“One achievement of a lifetime that we can never set aside just like that,” Santiago said in describing the project.

He said some people may find the project a small thing but it is the little things mean a lot.

“Pero kapag pinagmalasakitan ang isang tribu at maiangat ang kalagayan nila sa buhay sa pagtutulungan, wala akong nakikitang dahilan para hindi matupad ito (But when concern is shown to one tribe to uplift its living condition through cooperation, I do not see any reason that it cannot be fulfilled),” the mayor said.

Santiago said he learned that the Ayta Magbukun language is endangered.

“Ang lenguahe ay parte ng kultura na dapat hindi mawala o malimutan. Salamat kay national artist Almario. Napakagandang proyekto na hindi dapat kalimutan (The language is part of a culture that should not be lost or forgotten. Thanks to national artist Almario. It's a great project that should not be forgotten),” he said.

He said he sympathizes with the natives. “Kitang-kita na kailangan nila ang pagkalinga kaya dapat ibigay ang pagkalinga, pagmamahal sa kanila at hindi dapat ipagwalang-bahala (It is obvious that they need care so they should be given care, love and should not be ignored),” Santiago said.

Almario, also chair of the Komisyon ng Wikang Pilipino, said based on their survey, there are 131 languages in the Philippines.

“Sa bilang na ito may nakita na kaming 30 na nanganganib mamatay o maglaho kaya dapat na tulungan. Ang wika ay isang bodega ng karunungan na nandiyan ang kasaysayan, karanasan at tradisyon (In this number, we have seen 30 languages which are at risk of dying or disappearing. The language is storage of wisdom that contains history, experience and tradition),” he said.

Almario said language should be preserved and transferred to the children.

“Experimento ito na unang-una sa buong Pilipinas. Meron sa ibang bansa pero sa buong Pilipinas, ngayon pa lamang (This is first ever experiment in the Philippines. There are in other countries, but in the entire Philippines, it is only now),” Almario said of the Bahay-Wika in the Aeta village.

He said they were hoping it will succeed so as to catch the attention of many people who might be able to help preserve other endangered languages.

Romeo Gulisan, Bangkal barangay chairman, lamented that the children no longer speak their language.

“Mga bata hindi na alam. Salamat sa nakaisip ng Bahay Wika. Ma-preserve na namin uli sa mga bata ang aming salita dahil nawawala unti-unti (The children no longer know the language. Thank you for those who thought of Bahay Wika. We would be able to preserve to our children the language which is gradually disappearing),” the village head said.

The provincial government headed by Governor Albert Garcia fully supported the project by funding the construction of the building.

Aetas of the Magbukun tribe are found in the towns of Abucay, Orion, Limay, and Mariveles. There are more than 500 natives in Bangkal. (PNA)

trade war: Chinese turn to fortune tellers to predict Trump’s next move in trade war

SHANGHAI: As analysts crunch trade data and political commentators dissect official statements for signs of how the Sino-American trade war will develop, some ordinary Chinese are using different sources to predict US President Donald Trump’s next moves: fortune tellers.

Armed with photos of Trump and his date of birth, the superstitious in China are turning to the divine – from masters on cosmic energy to experts on ancient spirits – for tips on what the president has got up his sleeve in the escalating trade spat between the world’s two largest economies.

The trade dispute has not only raised uncertainty over China’s economic growth, it has also unsettled the lives of some ordinary Chinese people, who are seeking advice on things like where to invest, how to run their business and even whether or not they should pursue plans to emigrate to the United States.

Victor Ng, a Feng Shui master from a line of famous practitioners in Hong Kong, says he usually analyses the birth date and time of birth of his clients for insights. With the trade row dominating headlines and increasing uncertainty about the future, he has been adding some ingredients to the mix.

“Because this time the US-China trade war is ongoing, I will also look at the fate of the leaders of the US and China – for instance, Xi Jinping’s birth date and the birth date of Donald Trump. This is how we analyse the situation,” he said.

In the western city of Xi’an, fortune teller Xie Xianglin says he has seen “many, many more” people approaching him for readings on the future of the trade war. Most are entrepreneurs and investors, said Xie, who charges 500 yuan ($73) to analyse the relevant spirits.

“Seven people have asked about investment and also about emigration trends,” he said of recent visitors.

In Shanghai’s leafy Fuxing Park, for at least three weekends in a row in July, heated debate broke out intermittently between retirees discussing the victims and villains of the trade war.

The park is an unofficial meeting ground for retirees at the weekend – and more recently, some have appeared there brandishing photos of Trump and his birth date looking for tips on his next step, said three people who had seen it happen.

Chinese people, including the country’s leaders, have a long tradition of putting their faith in soothsaying and geomancy, looking for answers in times of doubt, need and chaos.

Members of the ruling Communist Party, however, are officially banned from participating in what the government dubs superstitious practices, including visiting soothsayers.

For investment broker Ricky Fong, readings by Ng, a master of the ancient Chinese belief in a system of laws that governs energy, or Feng Shui, have helped him navigate the impact of the trade war on his business.

“When it comes to the US-China trade war, in my view the importance is huge, with regards to investment – really big,” said Fong, in Hong Kong.

“Master Ng gives me a lot of very detailed data to work with. When it comes to the traditional financial tools they also provide data, but the Feng Shui master gives me another kind. He can use traditional methods to read my fate, and tell me how to better handle the situation,” Fong added.

Recently, amid the trade war, Ng advised Fong to invest in Kuangchi Science Ltd after a reading of the company stock number and Fong’s birth date, which Ng believes gives an indication of a person’s fortune with a particular firm. Fong says he bought at 0.375 per share and sold at 0.77 per share.

For now, at least some readings on the fate of Trump and the trade war are pointing in the right direction.

“The trade war will end up with a reconciliation in the near future,” said fortune teller Xie, who offered a free reading to Reuters.

Siargao Draft 006

So, before going back to the grind officially because I need funds to keep the trips and tralalas going, eto na naman ako. Eto siguro ang pinaka heartbreaking na kwento mula sa Siargao Visit 001 ko. I will park my “it’s their story to tell” mode ko as well kasi I want to capture a reality na taboo in all levels. Matindeng birthday ender mga mumshiebelles and beshiekeyks! 

Since wala akong tulog at biglaan ang invite ng lovebirds na na-meet ko sa isla, hindi ko na rin matandaan ‘yung name ni Kuya MMK (KM). Sa umpisa, hindi siya masyadong nagsasalita. Nanonood lang siya sa amin nung kakwentuhan ko. Sinimulan niyang maki-join by asking us if we want anymore beer or drinks or food or yosi. We politely declined kasi ako 5 PM pa lang ang saya ko ng umiinom at the only yosi the bar has is Marl, so I tried my best to lessen it, but syempre I failed miserably but whatever. Red yosi nila so I just went to the counter and got myself a pack of Ice Blast. Nga pala, best na magbaon na lang ng yosi bago lumipad to IAO kasi mahal ang mga yosi. 110 to 150 per pack. Or kuripot lang ako sa mga ganitong bagay. Anyway, ‘di ko magets why he insisted many times na ilibre kami. ‘Di naman sa ayoko pero we just met and we have not talked in spite being on one table for some two hours or so. 

He tried to weave his way to our kwentuhan pero hirap siya e. Hindi makasabay. He tried talking about Duterte and we told him that politics is the least thing we’d want to delve into at this point in time. He tried talking about faith and again, we shut him down because that topic is tricky especially when booze is already raging. He got us drinks so no choice. We had to let him indulge. Hindi naman sa pagiging mean and snob, pero damn, dude. I mean this person obviously needs company pero masaya ang kwentuhan namin nung kasama ko, so I was like okay-fine-go-na-brother. 

And these are the storylines that he bared to us: 

Dati siyang entertainer sa Japan. Nag-tourist muna siya doon tapos kumabit sa babae, sa lalaki. Inisip niya all the while ‘yung future ng family niya since siya lang ang may lakas ng loob at angking galing to help them get by. Naging construction worker din siya tapos kinuwento niya ang hirap ng trabahong ‘yun. So bumalik na lang siya sa pagiging entertainer. He then went to details na sa Japan pera ang katapat ng lahat. Isang hawak additional bayad agad. Isang paraos is all a customer gets. So totoo pala ‘yung glory hole. Sabi niya parang morbid pero mas protektado sila and all the more, mas malaki bayad sa kanila. Tanong ko naman paano nila nalalaman na tama ‘yung napili nila. Sabi niya, may pictures na titignan ‘yung guest tapos ‘yun na ‘yun. Nag-share pa siya ng sex tips para makuha ‘yung babae. Sabi ko, bi ka ata. Sabi niya, parang ganun na nga. Hindi siya apologetic about whatever he shared. Sobrang explicit considering first time ang usap namin. ‘Yung kasama ko ‘di ko sure anong feels while listening to him pero sure ako na medyo turned off siya kasi nga naman island vibes and too much drama vibes is okay up until a certain level. ‘Di kami prepared sa MMK levels ng kwento. Then again, I felt that he was aching for a chance to be heard, so sige lang kuya. In fairness, grabehan ang feels ko kasi isa sa mga dream places ko ang Japan. Girl, kawawa talaga ang mga Pinoy at Pinay sa usapang abroad. Kahit ‘yung friend ko na mataas na ang position sa isang Asian country nasabihan na ‘yung sweldo niya kahit parehas sila ng work load and designation nung co-workers niya. White-collared job sa isang “diverse” at Fortune 500 na company pero tangina lang trato sa Pilipino. Sabi sa kanya ang reason na hindi parehas sweldo nila kasi Pinoy siya. Sigh with a big high five sa mga mukha ng mga taong ‘yun.  He continued his tale by telling us na ngayon lang siya nakapag-travel and inggit daw siya sa amin kasi bata pa kami and napush na namin to explore PH and some places outside it. Sabi niya, pera ang nagpaikot ng mundo niya para sa sarili pero higit sa lahat para sa pamilya. Girl, nastress ako and I died inside. Sinabi pa niya na feeling daw niya mamamatay na siya ng wala man lang masabing kinasaya niya with all his heart and soul. Pero bawi naman niya na kasi nga pamilya ang mas matimbang sa kanya. Sabi ko naman, baka naman he made them too dependent on him. Natahimik siya. Napa-hunch ‘yung shoulders. I felt badly but I had to let that out. Hindi siya omnipotent at he ought to know that. Iniisip niya kasi walang hahatungan ang pamilya niya ‘pag hindi siya kumilos. Sabi ko naman, look where it got him. Malayo narating niya pero it got him nowhere based sa kwento niya. Hindi ko naman sinabi sa kanya ‘yung previous statement. Lerkzzz in all levels, beshiekeys. Nakakabasag-puso. Nakakaabala ng kaluluwa. Napagusapan din namin ‘yung getting tested. Tanong niya sa amin noong kasama ko e kung hindi raw kami mao-offend kung hilingin ‘yun ng partner namin. Sabi ko, I do not sleep around so okay lang. Walang masama. Basta parehas kaming magpapa-test. ‘Yung kasama ko naman napagdaanan na ‘yun. Straight relationship pa sila partida pero okay lang sa kanya kasi culture ng girl ‘yun (she’s from another country kasi). Sa punto de bista naman ni KM, mao-offend daw siya kasi dapat daw may trust. Dapat daw hindi na umabot pa doon. Syempre wala naman na kaming imik after except for the line of reasoning na to each, his/her own. Siguro iba ang takbo ng utak ng generation namin at generation nila. Parang late 40s na ata kasi siya but I did not ask his age. 

Inalok niya na naman kami ng drinks and everything kasi iniisip ko aalis na ako to squeeze in some nap time. Pero sabi niya, ‘wag daw muna. Ngayon lang daw siya nakakilala ng tao na sobrang upfront. Natawa ako at sinabi na isa ‘yan sa gift and curse ko. There’s so much lying and pretending in the world so ‘pag kausap ako very polarizing. Either you like me or abhor me. Hindi ko alam kung bola lang sinabi niya or totoo. Wala rin naman akong paki. Basta I am speaking my truth always and 5ever. Sayang oras ‘pag pa-impress ka lang or nakikiayon ka lang sa usapan kasi gusto mong maka-belong. Longing to belong at the expense of denying one’s truth no matter how controversial, questionable and even uncalled for --the world’s serial silent killer ‘yan in my book. 

Sabi ni KM gusto pa raw niyang mag-explore sa bansa. Sabi ko naman try niya humanap ng mas maraming friends na puwede niyang kakwentuhan. Sabi niya first time niya mag-open up like fudge. Sabi ko baka dahil sa dami ng alak. Sabi niya batak naman daw siya doon. Sabi ko kasi baka hindi niya kami kilala kaya no judgement. Sabi niya, hindi rin kasi all his life he is being judged harshly kasi nga sa mga rakets niya. Sabi ko, damn KM, inom na lang natin ‘yan. Sabi niya one round pa. 

Napunta naman ang usapan sa implants niya sa face. Jeskeeellerrddd. Hindi pa tapos. Hindi ko naman napansin unless nung sinabi niya though na-notice ko uneven ‘yung eyebrow and forehead area niya. Maganda kutis ni KM at hindi mo siya aakalaing bakla at first sight. Tinuro niya ‘yung mga pinaretoke niya. Actually ‘yung ilong niya ‘di mo aakalaing pinagawa. Sakto lang e. Hindi pilit. Hindi siya gwapo pero pleasant ‘yung features niya.

Bumalik siya sa usapang sex. Hindi pa rin tapos besh. Why? Pero sige game. Paalis na rin ako ng isla, so support natin. Sabi niya sex is just sex. At wala na raw siyang affinity sa deed. Kasi pare-parehas lang naman daw ang mga babae at lalaki. ‘Pag nairaos na, ‘pag nabigay na, ‘pag sumabak na, tapos na. Hindi raw ‘yun ang batayan ng true love. It’s just part of the big picture. Ang hirap daw sa mga bata ngayon e go-to ang sex in search for love that lasts. ‘Yung ‘di lang daw mapagbigyan e akala mo grounds to cheat na. Very virgin siya doon ano po? Pero kidding aside, bakas sa mukha ni KM na gusto niyang i-share ang wisdom na meron siya, whether he knows it or not. Marami na siyang naging karelasyon at ‘yung ilan long-term pa, pero wala daw talaga e. Single siya ngayon pero hindi naman siya naghahanap kahit may mga foreigners na naghi-hit sa kanya and we are egging him to join them. Hahaha. Matibay na ang dating marupok! Nice one. 

As always, my stand when it comes to sex is that it is a philosophical pursuit. Hindi sa dami or dalas ‘yan. Nasa pagbaon at paghugot mula sa kaibuturan ng kasama mo or mga kasama mo sa moment na ‘yun. Call me friggin’ fudge pero naniniwala akong it should be a venue for you to be exposed and to expose the other. Okay lang naman ‘yung casual sex or sex like there is no tomorrow, basic instinct ‘yan e. Pero ‘wag kang mag-expect na ikakagaan ‘yan ng pagkatao mo. Iba ang pagpaparaos sa pagtutuos ng utak, emotions, and most importantly, your soul/spirit. Ke totoo or hindi ang soul, aminin natin, may something sa loob natin na naa-awaken or napupudpod everytime we indulge in the deed. It’s not about being a virgin or being a fuck boy or fuck girl. It’s about why you do the deeds you do. Ano bang nagpapa-indulge sa’yo? 

Anyway, back to KM. Sabi ko I really need to go kasi baka hindi ma-cancel ang flight and hindi na naman ako nakapag-web check in, kahit alam ko dapat ‘yun lalo na ‘pag nasa isla ka. Sabi niya, baka raw gusto ko ng umagahan. Sabi ko no need na. Baka matae ako lalo. Natawa siya. So nagpaalam na ako. Nagpasalamat siya. Sabi niya payakap naman daw. Sabi ko okay. Nadali ng introvert mode bigla kaya nag-alangan ako. I should have given him a super tight hug pero damn, dude, island vibes so chill hug lang. Gusto ko pa nga siya ipag-pray. Hahaha. Hindi ako preachy pero shitballs lang. Daming struggles ni KM. As in. Hindi na lang talaga kaya ng oras ko kasi I wanna check that I packed everything and I wanted to squeeze in view of the sunrise in IAO para may pa-prod in a payak but pak levels ang Day 001 ng Chapter 32 ko. 

Lesson Learned: Ubra talaga sa akin ang digital detox so alam na next time. Palit sim ‘pag nasa isla. Joke. Iwas phone lang at all times kasi madali lang din naman since mahina Globe doon. Yes to more analog time tayo!

Celebrities, Fans and ET Staff Remember Their 'First Kate Spade' in Loving Tributes to Iconic Fashion Designer

Everyone remembers their first Kate Spade handbag.

Maybe you received it as a gift from your grandmother. Maybe it was the first thing you purchased with your first big paycheck. Regardless of when you were introduced to the brand, almost every girl fell in love with the variety of pieces envisioned by the brand's creator, Kate Spade.

As a tribute to the late iconic fashion designer, who died Tuesday morning of an apparent suicide in New York City, celebrities, fans and ET staffers are remembering their "first Kate Spade."

"My grandmother gave me my first Kate Spade bag when I was in college. I still have it. Holding Kate's family, friends and loved ones in my heart." -- Chelsea Clinton

"In 2010, I was on a Vegas trip with my girlfriends, and I walked into the Kate Spade store at the North Premium Outlets and saw this incredible Kate Spade typewriter bag. Working as an editor at the time at a small newspaper, I thought it was perfect for me and had to have it. Although it was a major splurge at the time, I never regretted it. To this day, it's still my favorite bag ever." -- Antoinette Bueno, ET Assigning Editor

"I was in between my freshman and sophomore year at college (summer 2004). I was suffering from a major obsession with Sex and the City, watching downloads of the HBO series on repeat and spending what little money I had on whatever designer purses or shoes were on sale. While browsing the sale table at Saks Fifth Avenue with my grandparents (our favorite Arizona summer activity), I came across this wicker clutch with a pink strap that spoke to me and fit my budget. I bought it with my own money and felt incredibly empowered. This led to many other ill-advised designer purchases until Sex and the City 2 jolted me back to reality." -- Jen Cady, ET Executive Editor

"My mom purchased my first Kate Spade purse for me for Christmas. It's the perfect combo of functional and simple, yet bold." -- Meredith Loftus, ET Senior Video Ops Coordinator

"I was late to the game in owning my first Kate Spade handbag, but I had always obsessed over them from afar. A few years ago, I took the (financial) plunge by splurging on the baby blue Brighton Park Small Sloan bag. Before then, I had never spent more than $50 on a bag, but there was something about its classic, timeless elegance that spoke to me and made me feel good. To this day, I swear by Kate Spade and the jolt of magic it infused into my life. You definitely won't be seeing me without a Kate Spade handbag or purse attached at my hip!" -- Philiana Ng, ET TV Features Editor

"During one particularly challenging professional year, I was between jobs, taking tons of meetings and feeling pretty low about myself and the entertainment business in general. One day, I stumbled across a simple but stunning grey and white Kate Spade dress (on sale, but still a splurge) and thought to myself, 'This is the dress. This is the dress to get me the job. This is the dress I can wear for everything.' And it was. Money was tight at the time, but I paired it with a practical black Kate Spade handbag, and together, they made me feel like I could conquer the world. I wore that dress and carried that bag to meetings, on-air appearances, weddings, and even the night I got engaged. They are still two of my favorite pieces of all time." -- Sophie Schillaci, ET Senior Producer, Writer, Host

"Growing up I always felt that luxury items were something that were beyond my reach or that I was never good enough for. I remember the excitement & fear when I placed my first order for a Kate Spade bag.

I know in a lot of people’s eyes a $500 bag means nothing but for me it’s a daily reminder that I am worth more than ever thought I could." -- Evie Statt, fan

The NYPD confirmed to ET on Tuesday that Spade was found dead in her Manhattan apartment of an apparent suicide, and her body was discovered by an individual that was employed by her. The NYPD also confirmed to ET that Spade left a suicide note and the method of suicide was hanging.

Spade is survived by her husband, Andy, and their 13-year-old daughter, Frances Beatrix.
