Time to do a meme which we have not been doing for some time. Thanks to JMom, our kailiyan in North Carolina who likes to cook, for tagging us to do this. The idea of this meme is to pass the links around which means that, if we keep the link train going, all of us will have more links.
So folks, let’s get aboard the Linky Train. All you have to do is: 1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back. 2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword. 3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list. 4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. 5. Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!
This is not really our first Boo Award because we have been doing this in our other home but this is the first time we are booing someone in this blog.
And the honor goes to: Virginia Gorospe, an elementary school principal in Baguio who has been suspended for 1) caressing female teachers and 2) collecting fees from a private affiliation school.
Read the story by Mike Guimbatan here. But here’s what Gorospe says about her caressing fellow teachers:
She added she was “neither a pervert or lesbian and her alleged malicious utterances and acts against female teachers were only jokes made between friends who have no malice in their minds.” She added “it is only in the minds of the complainants where they injected malice and lewd designs”.
So does this mean that the teachers who were caressed are not the complainants? Confusing, eh? But here’s our message to madam Gorospe: Whatever those utterances and acts, don’t do them in school. See it got you in trouble. And lifting someone else’s skirt in school? We hope you didn’t do it in front of the kids. Continue reading Our First Boo Award→
Hey kailiyans in the U.S. did you know that those carvings of Native American chiefs came from Ifugao. Really? Maybe not all of them but some of them are. From Jennie Durant who was a Peace Corp Volunteer in Ifugao:
Ever wonder where those impressive, six foot tall Native American chief carvings come from? The ones you see in New Mexico and Arizona when you’re on a road trip through the Southwest?
There are spams and spams and there’s a really bad spam. This one is an example of a bad one.
