Xaira's niece Goldeen stayed with us for a week last week. A very smart and plays piano very well. She is only 5 year old. We hope to have kids just like her in the future.

Basketball is the most popular sport of the Philippines. It has been for at least a 100 years and will be until a shape of a ball is considered square. Its the cheapest past time with friends and definitely the most common and most popular area on every park.

Bukidnon is a landlocked province of the Philippines located in the Northern Mindanao region. Its capital is Malaybalay City. The province borders, clockwise starting from the north, Misamis Oriental, Agusan del Sur, Davao del Norte, Cotabato, Lanao del Sur, and Lanao del Norte.

Bukidnon is considered by Filipinos to be the food basket of Mindanao. It is the major producer of rice and corn in the region. Plantations in the province also produce pineapples, bananas and sugarcane.

There are no seaports in the province, although there is an airport in Malaybalay City. The airport is currently closed. To get to Bukidnon, one must travel by land from Cagayan de Oro City in Misamis Oriental Province.

Did you know that radical muslims take pride of their kids becoming suicide bombers and rejoice when knowing that their kids have blown themselves up in suicide attack and kill christians or mainly americans?

The schools and their family brainwashed these kids to kill and raised them by building so much hatred against christians and Americans.

Muslim clerics vowing to slaughter Americans and destroy the United States.

Bottomline is that radical Islam wants to kill you.

English Version

Wherever I may roam
The distant land to see
I long to go back soon
To sweet Bukidnon home
Where lovely mountains high
With forest old and grand
Bring memories to me
The home I long to see.

Chorus:
There my heart
Yearns to be
In far away Bukidnon land
Under its blue starry skies
Where love and joy never die
(repeat Chorus)

Binukid Version

Isan pa hindon ah
Lalag ko'g uli ah,
Deni ta Bukidnon
Kanak ha banuwa
Buntod ha matangkaw
Kalasan, makupal
Patag ha maluag
Hatungkay madagway

Tanan:
Buntoron, balalayan, basakan, kapatagan
Pastohan, kapinyahan, ba alan-alan kauyagan
Langit din pig-aldawan
Piglambungan, uranan, ba alan-alan
Kauyagan
(Repeat)

Necrophobia is also known as Fear of Death and Fear of Dead Things. It is a surprisingly common phobia and most feared by human. If you have this phobia, you can suffer from panic attacks, and it may cause you to isolate yourself from your family and friends. Symptoms include: shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea and an overall feeling of dread.

Your fear of dead things is created by your subconscious mind, and it is a defense mechanism that makes you avoid certain situations. Probably, sometime in your past, you experienced a moment when a death or seeing a dead thing caused you lots of emotional trauma. In other words, you probably had the stuffing scared out of you by some real-life brush with death or something dead! This may not always be the case, though, as some people experience this phobia after seeing something really grisly on TV or in a movie.

You may suffer from this phobia all the time, or you may only suffer if something triggers your fear, like a close call with a dead animal or the funeral of a loved one or friend. In any case, if this fear is getting in the way of your daily life, please seek professional help and/or counseling.

Be very careful what you wish for. It is always said that everything comes with a price and that money changes peoples lives, for better or worse. We all dream of winning the big score, or wish to hit instant riches through winning lottery numbers.

Remember that people never get satisfied on almost everything. All people always wants a little bit more of what they have emotionally or material things most especially money.

The most common issue is the belief that money solves most of our problems. Another big problem is financial ignorance, not being able to handle a large amount of money handed to the winners. Study says that one third of multimillion dollar lottery winners become bankrupt in just a few short years after their big win.

Depression is the most common problem of these winners. Experts have looked into the lives of past lottery winners and have learned that not all multimillion dollar winners have a happy ending.
