Download or read book The Bohol We Love written by Marjorie Evasco and published by Anvil Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “These essays are not about Chocolate Hills and the tarsiers and the fancy beach clubs and other tourist magnets in Bohol. They are about seemingly mundane things that define a place and bind its people together—childhood games, songs, religious rituals, cultural practices, superstitions and myths, magical creatures. Here you will read about triumphs that united people in pride, disasters that drew them even closer; larger-than-life heroes and everyday heroes; changes that tested their mettle and inspired new ways of seeing as well as values that have endured; cracks in the pavements that mirrored cracks in relationships. Braiding storytelling with fictional devices, the writers merge reportage with self-reflection; weave patterns out of chaos and happenstances; and create a tapestry of memories that restores the past, turning the Bohol they love into the Bohol we love as well.” — Susan Lara

She fell in love with him, not knowing that she would become a victim of emotional and physical abuse. Blinded by her love, she really believed that his violent actions were nothing but expressions of love. Years later, after she had broken up with him, her uncle in Hawaii showed her photograph to a man who vowed never to marry again after his wife divorced him. But as fate had it, he was drawn to the lovely face in the picture. He traveled all the way to her hometown in Tagbilaran City in Bohol, Philippines, to meet her. They fell in love at first glance, and within a week, he proposed to her. Alas, her abusive former boyfriend would rather see her dead than married to someone else. It was a matter of luck that she survived her ordeal. Her marriage to the man she thought was her “knight in shining armor” was fine in the beginning. Four years into the marriage, he became ill because of diabetic complications. She stayed true to their wedding vows despite her joyless marriage and the many temptations she faced being young, beautiful, and with a happy disposition. She took care of him dutifully while also acting as the sole breadwinner. Years later, while providing care for her terminally ill husband, cancer struck. The book tells of the inspiring story of a woman whose struggles in life motivated her to become a community leader and volunteer. It also offers inspirational and valuable tips on how to have a happy and meaningful life despite life’s challenges.

Download or read book Who Hates Whom written by Bob Harris and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “absorbing, breezy, and—ultimately—hopeful” (Ken Jennings) guide to world conflicts, from the large and important to the completely absurd. “A handy history of violence that is at once surprising, fascinating, enlightening, and surprisingly not totally depressing.”—John Hodgeman, author of The Areas of My Expertise and former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart The daily news gives you events but rarely context. So what do al-Qaeda, North Korea, and Iran really want? Which faction is which in Iraq and who’s arming whom? What’s the deal with Somalia, Darfur, and Kashmir? Israel and Palestine, Hamas and Hezbollah? Who Hates Whom, a seriously amusing look at global humanity—and the lack thereof—presents global chaos made simple. Topics include: • Which countries are fighting over an uninhabitable glacier with no real strategic value—at an annual cost of half a billion dollars? • Which underreported war has been the deadliest since World War II—worse even than Vietnam—with a continuing aftermath worse than most current conflicts combined? • Which royal family members were respected as gods—until the crown prince machine-gunned the king and queen? • Which country’s high school students think the Nazis had a “good side”? Which nation’s readers recently put Mein Kampf on the bestseller list? And which other country watches itself with four million security cameras? (Hint: All three are U.S. allies.) Detailed with over fifty original maps, photographs, and illustrations, Who Hates Whom summarizes more than thirty global hotspots with concise essays, eye-catching diagrams, and (where possible) glimmers of kindness and hope.
