FOR IQ TEST NO. 2:
The answer is 'thumb'. All of the other words relate to the word FORCE: g force, Jedis use the force, Force = Mass x Acceleration, the term 'a force of nature'

IQ TEST NO. 5:
LEAP does not belong. All of the other words relate to the word GAS: natural gas, cooking with gas (this is an expression and a common practice), gas mask, 'sag' is 'gas' backwards, and chlorine gas (which is highly toxic).

Hello mga Dudung Batchmates musta ulit kayo diyan??

Great to hear Larry you found some clue as to the whereabout of Leanel Melad, the ever so beautiful girl and one of the classmate in Journalism. I knew this lass so much at one of the mabait tlaga. It was around 1985 ata when I saw her in Paco Herran as I was about to visit my girlfriend that time. I noticed her talaga and they are holding hands with one guy..which I recognized is Elmer Sumagpao. My classmate in 2nd year kaya I knew him so well. They got married na pala kaya I greeted them and diko akalain sila pala ang magkatuluyan. They also told me na they were both Mormons na rin and even encouraging me that time to join them. Sana both of them will join sa forumation so we can give the a rousing welcome here. Masaya at dumarami na tayo kaya magnda yun idea ni Pareng Alfred okey ako diyan hehehehe…

Mareng Letty,
Nung nalaman ko na nagkatuluyan kayo ni Pareng Roel ay matagal ko ng iniisip surname ni Elmer Sumagpao pero diko tlaga matandaan. Siya kasi ang alam ko na batchmates bukod sa inyo nina Priscilla ang mga nagkatuluyan. So there it is huli na, siya nga si Elmer at si Mrs Leanel Melad Sumagpao. The question is, sino pa kaya bukod sa inyong 3 pairs na batchmates ang nagkatuluyan? Sana we can find out.

Nice to see the pic of Susan Alonzo, di pa rin nagbago ang kanyang looks. Si Thelma diko na masyado marecognize sa pics kasi nakasalamin but she’s still very pretty pa rin. Ang isang nakakalito kung sino yung long hair at parang director na hawig ni Carlo Caparas (long hair pero walang baseball cap) ay ito palang si Master Triffy………haneppppp kung hindi nilagay ni Larry ang name sa caption diko tlaga marecognize na si Master Triffy pala yun.


So okey mga feedback mo sa akin sa kumpil yes we can set this out. My only concern was when I went home on vacation yung aking mag-iina looks like na-influenced na sa Baptist Church but I don’t disagree on that. Pinapili ko sila between their choice of Baptist Church and Catholic Church, they choose the former. And I still stick myself to being a catholic Christian kasi I am a member of Couples for Christ at naging Lay Minister pa. So we agreed to respect our own choice of Christian faith. In most cases naman,we pray together din. The problem lays down ay yung pagkumpil kumpil ang alam ko sa catholic faith lang yun, pano kaya yung bunso ko sa ganung situation. Siguro sa pag-uwi ko I will find out how to resolve that issue. Gets moba yung sinabi ko ditto?

Kwento lang muna mga dudung batchmates, Start na ng Ramadhan ditto sa Qatar yesterday pa. One month na naman na sacrifice ito dahil sa office bawal ang kumain at uminom na may nakakakita na muslims, with due respect to their fasting. So we make tago after 12:00 o clock sa lugar na di kami kita. Broken time din ang work sched at pumasok na rin ako pero paupo-upo lang dun at patingin tingin lang naman. Okey nga kasi kaunti lang ang time to stay in office at ayun uwi na. After 1:00pm ay close na lahat ng office pati mga malls at mag open sila 6:00pm at some ay 7:00pm. Di rin pare pareho ang time nila. Okey lang bumili ng food sa mga stores like chichirya o fruits pero wg kakain sa kalye after bumili at baka masita magalit patay tayo jan.

But Doha is an open country naman just like Dubai unlike sa Riyadh Saudi na super sa conservative. Dito ay hindi ganun kahigpit at maluwag ang gov’t to give due recognition sa mga Christians to practice their faith. In fact, the most expensive and the best architectural design of Catholic church you can find in the whole of middle east ay ditto lang sa Qatar matatagpuan. Newly built ito last April 2008 only.

O siya mga Dudung …todits na muna at God bless to all batchmates,Priscilla,Manny Ace,Thelma,Mareng Ehris,Ellie,Triffy,Manny Dabu,Ramir,Anna,Nette,PAreng Randy,Ronnie,Alfred,Manny Cortez,Larry, Jun Papa, at iba pa

Naku my dear friends....para akong dumaan sa gauntlet bago ko na-discover kung papano mag-post ulit. Tyaga talaga ako for three days na di ko alam saan ako magpo-post. Ayun, sa kaka-try, natuto ulit. Out of desperation, nakarating ako sa Chat room at nag-post ako ng SOS for someone to help me navigate. Pero ok na ako. Ang hirap talaga ng tumatanda. Mahirap turuan sa mga bagong technology. Makakita lang ng bago, nagpa-panic na ha-ha-ha


How's everybody? Hi James Dunca(n) and Jaime D, Manny Cagape and Manny C, Anabel (Pye) and Anabel (ATG)...Ang cute naman at ang dami natin ditong magkapareho ng names.

Dear Prislette, Dodie and Pye...gusto naming inggitin kayo ni Nanette. Nag-sentimental journey kami ni Nanette sa ating mga buhay over a sumptuous dinner (treat ni Nanette). Hay naku...as usual...puro high school days. Ang nakakatuwa, may mga assumptions noon tayo na sa kagustuhan nating irespeto ang isa't isa, never tayong nag-dare na magtanong. Hay naku...tawa kami ng tawa ni Nanette nung nagdi-discover na kami ng mga "maling akala" na ngayon lang nalinawan. Prislette and Dodie, I'm sure yung mga kalokohan nyong dalawa, di rin alam ni Nanette. Sana nga magkita-kita na tayo ulit ano? Miss ko na kayo talaga.

till my next message, friends. Take care...

Kuya Larry - My favorite PI filed his report yesterday regarding our search for EDG. Part of the report says:
" Relatives of the subject in Pateros can not give me exact information on the current whereabout of EDG. They told me that he is always in transit (USA and Canada) and has not communicated with them recently.
Considering above circumstances, i am officially terminating my search on the subject here in the Philippines. Should you wish to extend my services and continue the search, I will submit a revised contract incorporating expenses reflecting future cost. Since the search will require me to travel to Canada and USA, charges will all be in USDollar denomination."

My reply :
Dear PI,

Thank you for the services you have renderd in the search of our friend EDG. As part of our NO E MAIL NO PAY POLICY AGREEMENT , i regret to inform you that you will not receive any compensation or allowed to reimburse your expenses associated with the search.
With regards to your offer of service extension, I am deeply sorry to tell you that never will i do business with you again. However, asa gesture of professionalism and for you not to accuse me of being heartless, i am preparing a Letter of Commendation for your exceptional Failure signed by our Chief Administrator (Larry Perez Tan ). You shall receive this on the AWARDS NIGHT of our KAPIHAN.


So that's it Kuya Larry , hindi tayo nagtagumpay sa paghahanap sa iyong best Friend. Kailangan na natin talaga ng tulong from our super friends sa Tate at Canada, Umaasa pa rin ako na bigla na lang tayong magugulantang sa kanyang pagdating...

Hangang sa muli at magandang araw sa inyong lahat.

Just want to share this article sa inyo mga Batchmates.

"The US military has handed Al Anbar province, once the centre of Iraq's Sunni insurgency, to Iraqi control at a ceremony in the provincial capital – Ar Ramadi 02 SEP 2008.

Al Anbar province began a transformation in 2006 as former insurgents turned against al-Qaeda and became US allies. More than a quarter of all US soldiers killed in Iraq have died in Al Anbar, which is Iraq's biggest province. With Al Anbar's transfer Iraqi forces will control security in 11 of the country's 18 provinces. The government headquarters in Ar Ramadi was draped with tribal flags for the handover ceremony, which was presided over by US, Iraqi and tribal officials. A top US commander in Iraq, Marine Maj Gen John Kelly, told the Associated Press that US troop levels in Al Anbar would come down, but there would not be an instant or dramatic reduction. The marine force [in Al Anbar] will be smaller soon. I don't think it will be overnight. I think it will happen incrementally." The US military currently has 28,000 soldiers in Al Anbar, down from 37,000 in February, according to US figures, while the number of Iraqi soldiers and police has reportedly risen to 37,000, from 5,000 three years ago."

So my dear Batchmates - ayoko na sa front lines kasi mga Iraqis na ang may control ng Al Anbar. Dito na lang ako sa Base para asikasuhin at tulungan ang mga Marines, Sailor, Airmen at Soldiers. At least, part pa din nila ako. Kaya hindi na delikado masyado, sa pagbiyahe biyahe ko na lang at hindi na ako naka-uniform. Kahit na 'retarded' na ako, andito pa rin ako 'where the action is' - nasa blood ko na kasi yun eh. Civilian LIFE na !!!

Mathel - Nahirapan ka pala bago makapag post dito sa "New and Improved" Kapihan. Mabuti naman may sumagot sa SOS mo at by 'trial and error' eh ok ka na. Talagang iinggitin mo pa pala sila Dodie, Prislette at Pye ha ... sa mga happenings ninyo ni Nette.

Freddie - Para ka palang si Donald Trump, nasabihan mo na ng 'You're Fired' ang favorite PI mo na bibigyan mo pa pala ng "Letter of Commendation for your exceptional Failure signed by our Chief Administrator (Larry Perez Tan )"

Manny.Ace.Fresh

Wow! Ang dami na namang postings! It took me a while before I finished reading all the recent postings ninyo.

Pareng Freddie -> well said that our forumotion is really "MAGNIFICO", courtesey of course of Larry (super creative & sipag talaga siya when it comes sa magagandang improvements ng ating forumotion link). Ok, pangalawa na ako kay Larry to agree sa mga "funny" awards that we can give sa mga magka-qualify na nagpo-posts dito & the awarding day/night siyempre ay sa mismong anniversary ng forumotion natin. You mean, for now ay medyo give-up ka na to locate Elmer, but still hoping na who knows when the least we expect something from him ay may biglang makapagsabi na may news na about Elmer, let's just remain open the possibilities that we can have news from some of our batchmates na hinahanap natin

Nanette -> hi & thanks for that cute story

Manny C. -> so short naman ng message mo. Busy man as ever ka pa rin ba?

Manny.Ace.Fresh -> hi! Ang galing mo talaga & besides you have really time to answer the brainteasers of Larry. Medyo busy ako this week at may mga kailangang ayusin personally, ilang araw na rin akong wala sa house but I have to be back home before my kids arrive from school, ayokong paghatid ng school service nila ay wala ako sa bahay & they prefer din na I'm there whenever they arrive. You know, I'm attentively looking sa map that Larry posted about your location, obviously talagang very hi-tech na lahat, imagine you're presently stationed diyan sa Iraq pero yung locator mo ay naka-base sa Houston, kaya nga hindi mo maiaalis sa family mo na baka nga nasa USA ka lang but you're telling them na nasa Iraq ka pa, which is true naman di ba. Nice to see the recent picture you've posted, talagang fully-geared at combatant ang dating ha! Totoo bang "semi-retired" ka na?

Elie -> hello! What happened? Bakit na-over-the-bakod ang message mo. Siguro nanibago ka dahil bagong-bihis ang forumotion link natin. Thanks for sharing those religious messages. Hope next time ay dito ka na makapagpost sa tamang link natin

Larry -> good to hear na may mga links kang nakuha about Leanell, di ba magkakasama rin tayo sa RPES? Yes, alam ko rin nga na sila ni Elmer Sumagpao na batchmate din natin sa AHS ang napangasawa ni Leanell. Hope we can get their e-mail addresses or contact numbers para maka-join din sila rito. Good news Larry, we had a communication recently kay Ma. Teresa 'Tess' Rivera-Hidalgo & would you believe kumpare pala nila si Manny Cortez & it's Manny who gave the contact number of Tess Rivera-Hidalgo to us kaya nakausap na namin siya, she's working sa COA (Commission on Audit) in OWWA Buendia in Makati. I will give you her contact number soon

Pareng James -> ok lang if in case hindi man tayo maging legal na magkumpare/kumare, anyhow ok na ok naman sa atin na parang tunay na rin tayong magkumpare/kumare kahit sa tawagan lang kasi nga may pinagsamahan na tayo nung high school & we're all becoming closer dahil dito sa forumotion link natin, for now, we're really have that good friendship na pwedeng maging lifetime na di ba?

Thelma -> hi, at least you're back here w/ us after 3 attempts, nakakatuwang malaman na you really tried para makapagpost here for us to read

Pareng June & Prislette -> maybe natuloy na nga ang vacation ninyo sa relative mo Pareng June, miss na namin kayo rito. Hope to read any of your messages sooooon...

To all of you -> warm regards & have a good day too!

Always,
Letty

Why did the chicken cross the road?
> >
> > BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!

This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure – right from Day One! – that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
> >

> > AL GORE: I invented the chicken.

> > JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
> >
> > AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
> >
> > DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
> >
> > OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
> >
> > ANDERSON COOPER OF CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
> >
> > PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
> >
> > MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
> >
> > DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
> >
> > ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
> >
> > JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay, too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

Hi Batchmates,
Ramadhan time in middle east and it's getting boring here the whole 1month ito kaya sacrifice a lot. But anyway, with the advent of computer technology and the resurgence of internet websurfing,at least we have done some alibis to refresh and re-energize here...oh well life is pretty much like this. Same old culture as the day breaks.

Manny Ace,
Pare thanks for pieces of your concern it really is good to hear from you. I was surprised yung pic mo alongside Americans talagang merkanong merkano ka na nga....hhhehehe...ingat pare at mabuti na yung sure ka sa everyday life in Iraq. Were you there ng makita namin nuon sa cnn yung isang merkano na sinunog at sinabit sa itaas? It was really very sad to see this scenario. It smacks of an inhuman act, grabe yun pag naalala ko. Kaya ingat tol ha?

Larry,
Our dear master of forumation,are you running in any of the post sa nalalapit na election? Please please my friend just tell us yes and we will support you all the way. Bumilidako sayo sa galing ng mga ideas ang thoughts mo kahit pa sabihin very sensitive and ika nga ni Thems,pusong mamon.I always read between the lines yug mga inspiring messages mo,galing mo dudes...yo are the same Larr I know,the very smart and intelligent guy. Kudos din to all our batchmates na talagang super galing. Teka, malabo na yatang makita sa salutatorian EDG ah? Kitam at sumuko na yun PI ni Pareng Alfred na ewan at meron atang alzheimers...baka hindi si EDG ang hinahanap nun..di kaya?

Ellie,
Hi dear how are you na? Ang lakas ng tawa ko dun sa pinadala mo sa story ng chicken lalo na yung si Dick Cheney at si Bill Clinton, the denial king !!! Ayan tuloy finorward ko sa mga friends ko at relatives. Padala ko rin lalo mga jokes it really is one thing that releases a lot of stress and pressures from day to day life. Thanks..

Mareng Letty,
Naku mards pag nakita mo si Teresa Rivera now...Hidalgo sa COA kamo give my regrds to her favorite kaasaran nung high school..si James Duncan hehehehe...naalala ko yan si Tere...supladita numero uno pero that was younger days natin nuon pero of course maraming nababago. Katabi niya si Myrna sa upuan diba?Saka sina Fe Robles. Si Sam Concepcion pala nasa New Zealand...yah thats great.Kasama ba niya famly niya dun?

Prislette...Prisllete...paging Prislette...where are you na iha...
musta ang vacation ninyo?at si Mareng Ehris....hehehhe..mga busy kayo ano?miss kona po ang mga message ninyo dito mga dear asan na po kayo??

Naku bukod pala sa D'Panots nun meron din pala kayong katemporary nung hi school ha,sabi ni Ellie hehehhee..

rgds po sa lahat sa inyo need not to mention to all mga amiga at amigong pogi...hope you are all fine.



James D Duncan

Yes, super-init ang weather dito ngayon sa Pinas (for the info of our batchmates who are abroad)!!!

Elie -> hey & how are you friend! Happy to read your message here again (which means hindi ka na naligaw). Thanks for sharing to us that funny conversations ng mga big time na kano. Looking forward to see you again soon, maybe sa 31st Reunion na ng batch natin which will be held on Sept. 26 di ba? For sure, masaya na naman iyon at hindi magkakaubusan ng kwentuhan

Pareng James -> Musta ka na? Back to 100% na ba ulit ang body resistance mo? Bale naka-sick leave ka ba? Totoo pards, nakaka-boring kapag month of Ramadan, I've experienced the same when I was in Muscat, Oman (Middle East Country din sila), pati working time ay adjusted dahil sa Salah time (praying time of the Muslims). Pare-pareho tayo na nagtatago sa hindi makikita ng mga Muslims if we want to drink or eat something, as a sign of respect sa religion nila. Talagang nasunod sila sa fasting time, they will not eat or drink anything hangga't hindi nalubog ang araw (except siyempre for the kids, especially the babies), kaya parang fiesta sa gabi, puno ang mga restaurants, parks, malls, etc... Sure Pareng James, if in case magkausap ulit kami ni Tess Rivera-Hidalgo, makakarating ang pangungumusta mo, nakakahiya kasing tawagan kapag office time eh. Actually kami ang magkakatabi sa upuan sa 2nd to the last row : Ojeda (Nancy), Reyes (Letty), Rivera (Tess), Robles (Fe), Solas (Cristina) & nag-iisa si Tupaz (Mareng Anna) sa likod namin.

Here's a simple poem by Greenville Kleisser entitled:
"My Daily Prayer"
If I can do some good today,
If I can serve along life's way,
If I can say something helpful,
Lord, show me how.
If I can right a human wrong,
If I can help to make one strong,
If I can cheer with smile or song,
Lord, show me now.

Regards everyone,
Letty

Kung ako pusong mamon, hindi ako lalaban sa mga kriminal na mga pinakulong ko, di ba!

To All of you guyz, take care of yourself and a blessed Sunday tomorrow!!!

These are some of the best tongue twisters that we teach in our Public Speaking class, try it to love it (or hate it hahahaha!!!):

Letz - Bising bisi ka pala lately, talagang ganun ang buhay, parang life di ba. It is a big rat race to get the cheese ... ha ha ha. Syanga pala, tama ka na 'semi-retired' lang ako. Naging masyado advance lang ang utak ko kasi nasa 'Fleet Reserve' pa ako, still subject to 'recall'. Pero ok lang, nakakatangap na ako ng 'pension' ko at saka disability from Veterans Administration.

Elie - Ok ang joke mo about 'Why did the chicken cross the road' ... Angkop ang mga sagot ng bawat isa sa personalities nila.

James Dungca - Tama ka P're, pag Ramadan eh super boring sa Middle East. Dami pang bawal di ba. 'Di bale matatapos din yan at back to normal uli. Natatandaan ko ang sinabi mo na may mga Coalition Forces na inambush na, sinunog pa and dragged on the street at desicrated talaga dahil pinutol putol pa. Yan naman talaga ang ikinakatakot ko dito - ambush at IED (roadside bombs). Pero ok lang, when it is time - it is time to face our Maker. Wala tayong magagawa dun di ba.

Larry - Tama ka Bay! Ako lang ang the one and only Filipino. Ewan ko naman ba, palaging ako ang minority sa mga kasama ko. Syanga pala inedit ko ang prior post ko para dito ko ilagay ang pic at lagyan ko ng 'caption'.


Norman, William, Me, Edward, Rebel
It was taken at night during a very high state of alert kaya full body armor kami. Mga battle buddies ko ang mga yan. Bigat kaya ng Kevlar Helmet na yan at saka Flak Vest ... kaluoy man gyud, gikapuy man ako.

Isa na lang Dudong Larry, last na ito na sasagutan ko sa Brainteaser mo ha. Para kay Letz at Prislette na yung dalawa na natitira.

"Which of these words does not belong with the other?"
[banal, dentist, forgotten, hobgoblin, jackal, lemur, nobody, often, porverty, riches]

Answer: Wala naman relation ang mga words, kahit sa meaning, use, species, profession .... except .... sa first letter, it skips a letter in the alphabet. So the word is ... "OFTEN" ... dapat na-skip ang letter 'O'

So that is it mga Batchmates. Kayo na ang sumagot sa 2 pa na natitira. Medyo natagalan ako sa pag iisip sa isang brainteaser na ito, saka yung dalawa na natitira - hindi ko talaga alam ang sagot (ang hirap eh!). Syanga pala Dudong, napapansin ko lang ... maraming bumibisita pero hindi na po-post. Pero ok lang, alam ko naman na masaya sila sa pagbabasa ng mga post natin, maybe waiting lang sila mag post ng kanilang mga kwento. Until next time ulit. TTFN ... Ta Ta For Now!

Sino ang taga-PNOC dito!?
