November 25, VAW, International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

Today, in observance of the International Day for the Elimination
of Violence Against Women, we would like to inform the public
about the disappearance of a Filipina named Lotis Kohl,
a native of Cebu, who is missing since April 2007 in Cologne,
Germany. The circumstances of her disappearance implicating
Lotis Kohl's husband Siegfried K. together with his twin sister
and her husband led the police to suspect murder.
Court hearing about her case is still in progress. We fervently
hope that Lotis Kohl be found and that the people responsible
for her disappearance be punished.

Dreaming about the Cup

Our first private viewing of the Euro Games. No restaurant,no public
viewing as I am on my 5th day of fasting. Portugal vs Turkey.
"Who is your team?" hubby asked.
"Turkey," I answered.
"Okey, I am for Portugal and wish 2:0 for the team."
"Well, let me see first which team has the most cute players," I added.
We were watching and hearing the moderators naming the players
when it came to my mind suddenly this thought:would it be
entertaining if one day a Philippine team could make it to the
World Cup one day?
Not to the European Cup unless we migrants in Europe could create
our own state someday and apply for EU membership.
My own dream Philippine team would be called Football Pinakbet and
the players would be the following:
1. Bago-Ong, Pete
2. Ampalaya, Renato
3. Talong, Andy
4. Okra, Adonis
5. Luya, Dong
6. Camatis, Angelo
7. Sibuyas, Antonio
8. Liempo, Lito
9. Asin, Jack
10.Bawang, Rey
11.Sitsaron, Danny
The reserved boys will be then called:
1. Picadillo, Mario
2. Laing, Michael
3. Cueta, Ryan
4. Callos, John Paul
5. Rebosado, Camaron, Jr.
6. Cubana, Aaron
7. Budbud, Ramon
8. Pata, Chris
9. Humba, Gary
10. Labahita, Orly
11. Biko, Vic
Extra Goal Keeper
Dinuguan, Embotido, Jr.

I would be very delighted if you know anyone
who has such a delicious name and let me touch
base with him.
Meanwhile, I am thinking of cutting short
my yearly Fasting to see the games in Italian
restaurants. Salvatore, here we come!
