Reward seems to be they key that motivates...

the joke was, that they would be disappointed to know it was 72 Virginians, not virgins, waiting in paradise.

Here are your choices as a non-believer/infidel:

1. Conversion

2. Subjugation

3. War

Peaceful coexistence in a pluralistic society is not an option offered to you. Go ahead and ask those in the Institute of Islamic Studies to renounce jihad.

Ask them to explain this statement:

"...a journey undertaken for jihad in the evening or morning merits a reward better than the world and all that is in it."

yeah ube flavor was the best. used to lick that spatula to the last sticky drop of ice cream, until there was nothing left to taste but the wet pulpy flavor of the spoon. loved that if we so chose, we could buy something as subversive as "dirty" ice cream too, haha.

jay p and storm must've been junior accountants or something, to remember what things actually cost decades ago.

I didn't find the tv show Hardy Boys (shown Tuesdays at 7:30PM on GMA7) that interesting though. I did find Pamela Sue Martin, the Nancy Drew, attractive and cute. Frank Hardy was of course, Parker Stevenson (who later appeared in Baywatch in the 90's as one of the pioneer stars of that worldwide hit show) while Shaun Cassidy was Joe Hardy. Cassidy came from a singing family, his elder brother David, also a performer himself. Shaun did a cover of "Surfin' USA" by the Beach Boys but became famous because of his track "De Do Run Run."

i remember that song - da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron. and the hardy boys tv series, which weren't as exciting as the books as you say. i read the bobbsey twins, too, and wish i could get a copy of The Bobbsey Twins' Red White and Blue Mystery set in Colonial Williamsburg.

remember when Magnolia milk and chocolait came in bottles and topped with paper caps? those were so good.

a guy's build, then his smile.

what song has the power to transport you back to your childhood?

i don't know how you guys do it in this heat, but you sure are doing it. congrats!

You must have been referring to Bob Stewart, more popularly known as Uncle Bob. He was one of GMA's original owners and had a children's show called Uncle Bob's Lucky 7 Club aired every Saturday morning at around 10:30AM. I don't know if Bob Stewart can be described as "bushy-haired" as his hair was thinning though - so it may have been a different guy altogether.

 

Growing up as a kid in the 70's wasn't exactly the most exciting times, especially if you compare to the iPad and gadget-holding kids of today. You either play outside - basketball, tumbang preso, patintero, taguan, cops and robbers - or you watch TV.

Pretty certain it wasn't Uncle Bob. Did Ariel Ureta have a show?

Anyway, I'm not sure about the iPad vs. taguan/patintero contest. Kids today might be more sophisticated but I sure loved playing outside - getting cut up sneaking into neighbors' gardens, falling off our bikes outracing askals, fighting off the neighborhood bullies who hung out at the sari-sari store - we had to entertain ourselves and we were never, ever bored. Our taguan was pretty exciting as hiding places stretched the whole street and we played well into the night until we had to be coaxed home with stories of kapre and tikbalang. A fave game at school was agawan base, with absolutely no favor shown to girls. I watch my young nephews today engrossed in their gadgets, but give them a top and their eyes come alive.

Something I just remembered from the '70s was the term "party line." Back then, you shared your phone line with another person in a different location. The person was called a party line. Sometimes I'd need to make a call but when I lift the phone receiver, I'd hear two people talking. I'd have to interrupt their conversation and tell them I needed to make an important call. Sometimes they'd give into my request, other times they wouldn't.

 

That's one memory of the '70s that I'm glad is gone forever.

what a far cry from today's technology huh. just to dial someone's number took forever, especially if your fingers were tiny and slipped out of that rotary thingy easily.

Our party line back then was the guy allegedly shot by now Senate candidate Jacky Enrile (or his bodyguards) at the Stargazer Disco in Silahis Hotel along Roxas Boulevard. While we had our frequent skirmishes with our party line back then, his tragic death galvanized us and made us understand each other better...

wow.

I remember Tina Monzon Palma was a news anchor on Channel 7 and the weather guy for Channel 7 was Amado Mercado while Harry Gasser was the anchor for Channel 9. My favorite channel then was 7.

Tina Monzon Palma was my go-to newscaster for the correct pronunciation of English words. Her, Sesame Street, and The Electric Company with Morgan Freeman as the Easy Reader.

GMA's roster of shows were: 10AM - Ike's Movie-Go-Round; 11AM - Cafeteria Aroma; 11:30AM - Suerte Sa Siete; 12NN - Student Canteen; 1:30PM - Sine Siete (featuring classic local movies from LVN, Sampaguita and Premiere of the 50's and 60's); 3PM - The 700 Club...

how is it you remember so much?

as a kid, i joined a coloring contest on a variety show for children. there was a Milo-drinking contest, too, and the host was this bushy-haired guy. but i cannot, for the life of me, remember the name of the show.

Tyrion. With Jon Snow and Aria Stark right behind the glib dwarf.

What pet names or euphemisms have you used in bed with someone?

what one member calls f**k butter, another calls micro-froth. these threads would make for some interesting psychosexual analyses.

Yup same here. Who could forget this piece of propaganda from the early 70's? And yes it does sound communist. That's because communist countries espouse propaganda lines in an effort to brainwash its citizens.

wot? i'm not as old as you are, am i? haha i think i just aged myself.

don't eat chicken basmati before pilates...

and offer the long ride home...

May bagong silang, may bago nang buhay

Bagong bansa, bagong galaw

Sa bagong lipunan

Magbabago ang lahat

Tungo sa pag-unlad

and so on...amazing how deeply burnt these lyrics are into my memory. and my memory sucks.

i remember singing 'Bagong Lipunan' as a kid. recalling it now, it sounds just like a communist march. how ironic.

Not that one of course hehehe. Educated Muslims like the ones we have at the Islamic Institute (in Dilliman) are, just like Christians and Buddhists, 99% reasonable and do not adhere to any form of religious extremism.

tell them they need to stand up and denounce the horrific acts committed in the name of their beliefs.

Bro, the way it was explained to me, if the Americans really wanted to stay, I don't think the Senate vote would have made any difference. They would have stayed. The Americans left Subic and Clark because of the havoc caused by Mt. Pinatubo.

 

I agree having super carriers docked at Subic and US jets patrolling Philippine skies would have made a great deterrent to Chinese aggression in the Spratleys. But that's all water under the bridge now.

they left because we raised the rent on them too.

But clearly, this is a case of bullying and the Philippines does not have the wherewithal to put up a fight. And for which the Philippines would need a clear policy and extreme diplomatic savvy. Sadly, I can't figure out which is in shorter supply: the military resources or clear policy and diplomatic savvy!

we cannot afford to wait until we "have the wherewithal to put up a fight," because that might not ever happen. as diplomatic efforts fail, chinese ships cordon off our islands. put people on these islands, fish the surrounding waters as we've always done. it's highly unlikely the chinese boats will shoot a filipino fisherman first. not now.

chinos, thin cotton button downs, and flats

looking at your old photos, which fashion trend do you wish you'd never tried?

One thing I really admire about Islam is how it becomes a great unifying factor to its adherents. They (Muslims) usually unite in prayer, in culture and in politics because they base everything on the Qur'an.

i wonder if you also admire the unifying propensity to bequeath to the infidel world the gifts of its special brand of terror.

e di pumasok ka lang. tsk.

pano magbayad? e di iabot mo yung pera mo. anoba.

halo-halo.

perfect for crying into. whether at the local chow king, the lighthouse in subic, or the lobby of the manila pen.

don't count them out 3 years from now. every democratic candidate in 2016 will be saddled by the negative impact of obama care. the full effects will come in 8 months.

 

i wish scott walker or bobby jindal will win the republican nomination. walker destroyed the unions and balanced the budget in blue state wisconsin. jindal, a rhodes scholar, is a health care expert and is responsible in the economic recovery of lousiana.

both men are impressive. for a while there it looked like the unions would win vs walker but he prevailed. jindal seems like a shoo-in - he has a good personal story and has been successful in louisiana but i doubt he'll win the nomination. liberals have already painted him as kenneth from 30 rock. stupid, but labels like that seem to affect the voting public.

...

who can even fathom the effects obamacare will have with that much paper work involved. i mean, come on, a 60-page application form?

...

anyway...people tend to forget that in 2008, congress was controlled by the democrats, with an approval rating of 12%. people also tend to forget who worked to deregulate the banking industry. things like that don't seem to matter to voters anymore, it just matters that you can croon like al green and blame current woes on un-hip past presidents.

so many memorable things...my first bike, flying over taal, drowning and gulping in an inordinate amount of gasoline....

who texts you in the middle of the night and what does he/she say?

On this day especially, thank you for your service.

Forgotten Soldiers

if that happened, I believe I would be violated in many grotesque ways by a tentacled demon. Sorta like Japanese cartoon porn.

so..."scientists have discovered two new species of strange-looking microbes that live in the bellies of termites, and they've named the creatures Cthulhu and Cthylla, an ode to H.P. Lovecraft's pantheon of horrible monsters."

your alien hentai fantasy may come true yet. lol.

the associated press will discontinue using "illegal immigrants" because according to them, it has ethnic undertones. they'll replace it with "undocumented immigrants".

 

jay leno countered with, "they will now use the phrase undocumented democrats".

don't tell that to the liberal left. they'll throw a fit.

Ha ha ha. Here's another example of political correctness that has changed the way we describe prople. So we have vertically challenged people (bansot) horizontally challenged people (mataba), mentally challenged (bobo) and so on. Trying not to hurt the feelings of people across the board is most difficult to achieve. Someway, somehow, we're all going to slip up and say something offensive even if we didn't mean to be offensive. It's been known to happen to the most well-meaning people.

political correctness is part of the problem in America. "food stamps" - a welfare program term - is now deemed a slur of some sort and has been replaced with the more official sounding "nutritional supplement assistance" or something like that, making mendicancy easier to swallow, and self-entitlement the new American attitude.

it's all about changing the mindset so you can change behavior next.
