CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: It's Captivating Hymn
O, Capiz, also known as the Capiz Hymn, is the official provincial anthem of the province of Capiz in the Philippines. The hymn, which bested 24 other entries in a province-sponsored competition, was written by Charmaine O. Guartero, a high school music teacher at Filamer Christian College.
Capiznon
O, Capiz duog nga hamili
Capiz matahum nga ngalan.
Capiz, probinsya nga pinasahi.
Imo ngalan pagadal-on
Capiz, what a beautiful name.
We will carry your name.

CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: It's Awesome History ^_^
Captivating Capiz became the second Spanish settlement after Cebu when Captain Diego de Artienda, sent by Legaspi landed in the town of Pan-ay and proclaimed it the capital of the province. The capital was then moved to the present location of Roxas City.
It is said that in Capiz in 1570, the Datu Bankaya’s wife of the Aklan district gave birth to twin daughters. Twin is "Kapid" in the local dialect, so the Spaniards adopted the name Capiz (Kapid) as inadvertently miscommunicated to them by the natives.
Capiz, which was part of Aklan in pre-Spanish times, was one of the early settlements of the Malays, centuries before the coming of the Spaniards to the Philippines. It was part of the Confederation of Madjaas, formed after the purchase of Panay by the Bornean datus from the Negrito king named Marikudo.
When the Spaniards led by Miguel López de Legazpi came to Panay from Cebu in 1569, they found people with tattoos, and so they called it Isla de los Pintados. How the island itself came to be called Panay is uncertain. The Aeta called it Aninipay, after a plant that abounded in the island. Legend has it that López de Legazpi and his men, in search of food, exclaimed upon the island, pan hay en esta isla!. So they established their first settlement in the island at the mouth of the Banica River in Capiz and called it Pan-ay. This was the second Spanish settlement in the Philippines, the first being San Miguel, Cebu.
In the same year of 1569 Captain ('Capitan') Diego de Artieda who was sent by Legaspi landed in the Town of Panay and proclaimed it as the capital of the province. Later, they moved the Capital to its present site upon discovering the town of Capiz (not the province, and now Roxas City) which was near the sea and provided docking facilities.
In 1942, the region was occupied by the Japanese troops. In 1945, the region was liberated by the joint Filipino and American troops with Filipino guerrillas from the defeated Japanese Imperial forces during Second World War.
Capiz and Aklan were united under one province until April 25, 1956, when President Ramon Magsaysay signed into law Republic Act 1414 separating the two entities.

CAPTIVATING CAPIZ: It's Myths, Legends and Folklore
Myths, Folklore, Superstitious Beliefs and Practices
(Peepz,, I just want you to know that we need to be in the first 20+ results when you search google, we are currently in number 31 so please support us!!!! tnx)
The early Panayanon believed in many gods. Bulalakaw, a bird which looked like a peacock and could cause illness, was said to live in the island's sacred mountain called Madya-as. A chief goddess was believed to reside in the mountain of the nearby island of Negros Occidental. She was called Laon, after whom Mt. Kanlaon is named. Mediators to the gods, also said to be the first priests, were: Bangutbanwa, who prayed for good harvests and an orderly universe; Mangindalon, who interceded for sick persons and prayed for the punishment of enemies; and Soliran and Solian, who performed marriage ceremonies. Manunubo was the good spirit of the sea.
The kama-kama are dwarves living in earth mounds, and are lazy and fun loving. The tamawu/taglugar are spirits that can be either friendly or evil. They live in resplendent palaces that look like mere boulders to the human eye. When they find a human being attractive, they entice the person to join them; this peculiar act of courtship is called yanggaw. The dwindi is a dwarf residing in a mount of earth. The lulid sa bungsud has a big head, but a small torso and limbs. One who disturbs the mound where it resides falls ill. The agta is a very dark, hairy person living in the forest. Although a trickster, it is helpful to people. The amamanhig is a dead person who has returned to life and simply echoes everything that mortals say; it has lost the power to think. Hiwit or barang is a ritual that gives one of the power to inflict pain on an enemy.

Captivating Capiz: An Introduction
As we all know (or maybe some of you don't) Captivating Capiz is not only a place for Aswangs (contrary to what Albino said in the last arcticle) but it is also a place where you can eat fresh seafoods(particularly in Roxas City), go to parks, buy souvenirs ;), and meet a lot of awesome people!(like us moderators, yeah you can ask for our numbers..jk ;]).
Capiz was the home of former president Manuel A. Roxas whose son Gerry Roxas was also former senator and whose grandson Manuel A. Roxas II is currently a senator (GRABEh bah.... runs in the family gd yah). As stated by Albino, Capiz is "supposedly" known as the aswang province here in the Philippines but what the heck, do you even believe in those rumors? Well I kind of do but... there aren't MuMu's here ;( haha. Roxas City, the capital of Capiz, is also the Seafood Capital of the Philippines. You can taste all kinds of fishes, clams, chuver chuver and crabs here! Really, for that reason alone, you all should come here! You wont regret it once you eat that so called "Diwal" or Angel Wing.
So guys! Please, please visit Capiz! (and it wouldn't hurt clicking the refresh button a couple if times ;])

Captivating CAPIZ; a Common Corner for Aswang Covenants?
Having grown up in Captivating Capiz, we moderators would like to inform all those readers out there everything we know about our beloved city as much as possible; not to mention the fact that we are being graded for this thingy... so please, if you are a constant visitor, Candice's admirer or just happened to view our blogspot by mistake, please support us in every way possible.
Captivating CAPIZ as we may know has a lot of history to it. It has many interesting things to talk about such as its culture, political status, education, geography and much more. But what the heck, we're merely teenagers so the hell we care about all those stuff!!! We are more concerned about the people or should I say creatures that roam its grounds... better known as the aswangs... An Aswang is a mythical in Filipino Folklore. It's an inherently evil vampire-like creature and is the subject of a wide variety of myths and stories, the details of which often vary greatly.
But our blog's main concern is to be on top of the lists when you type the word Capiz in the internet, so I thought what better way of doin' so but by typing the word Capiz once,,, or maybe twice,,,, or maybe a dozen times..... so here goes.... Hope it works..... ^_^

Funny Trivias...... its funny but its true!!!!
1. If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.)
2. If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that's more like it!)
3. The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. (O.M.G.!)
4. A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.)
5. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Do not try this at home. Maybe at work.)
6. The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. ("Honey, I'm home. What the....?!")
7. The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
8. The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)
9. Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (must be exhausting?!!)
10. Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know)
11. Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)
12. Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump (OK, so that would be a good thing....................)
13. A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)
14. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)
15. Starfish have no brains. (I know some people like that too.)
16. Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)
...... it's true.....

Wanna Get Whiplashed?? XD
3 Stupid Things To Say To Get Door Slammed On Your Face
1. "Let's make out!" Look, dude - even if she looks like absolutely wants to sit on your face, do not ruin everything by making a PUBLIC DECLARATION. Be more tactful. When she is more than ready, then just do it, and shut up.
2. "You're a fat slob!" Yes, women will ask you from time to time how they look. You can ruin everything by being dead honest. So, don't. Let them live their dream of being hotter looking than other females. If she is overweight, don't comment on it at all. But wait - why are you going out with a fat woman anyway?
3. "You talk too much, shut up!" If she talks too much, she's just being a woman. Let her be. Here's the deal - if she talks too much to you, she probably don't mind sleeping with you. So, endure her, at least until you get her in the sack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that you know what NOT to say. When you talk to her, get her go through an 'emotional rollercoaster' - ie by alternating between sad and happy states - and she will find herself get hopelessly attracted to you. It's really not as difficult as it sounds. Borrowed from the field of psychology and hypnosis, it is known to be one of the most effective (and amoral!) way to get women attracted to men.

Story Numbah ONE XD
What was I doing? This was the best for Bella, wasn't it? But her face... When I told her I was leaving, how easily she believed me! It broke my heart more than it broke hers. I wished she would have fought. Fought for her, fought for us. But the way she gave up... She didn't even try. Was the immense love I felt for her too much for her to handle? Was she happy I had left?
And all the things that I wished I had not said
I should have explained my decision. I should have told her that I left to save her. To save her life, her humanity, her soul. But she would have silenced me. She would have begged and pleaded and cried, and I would have stayed. No, this was best for my love, my Bella.
But not the best for me...
I could track him down. I could find him wherever he was. But what would I do once I found him?
I would cry. I would scream and sob and shake. I would remind him of the good times. When he would sing me to sleep in the bed. That time in the meadow, when I'd seen his beauty. I would remind him of the way we could hold each other and stare into each other's eyes without saying a word, and at the same time know exactly what the other was thinking.
I sat on the bed, staring at the blank wall. I wouldn't cry. I wouldn't mourn. Edward was coming back. Wasn't he? He had to come back. Didn't he? I wanted to sigh. But I couldn't. I wanted to throw myself into my bed and let the tears pour from my eyes. But I couldn't. I tried, but I couldn't. I needed something to show for this breaking in my heart. But I had nothing.. I had nothing..
Most of what I remember makes me sure
What could I have done? I could have clung to him, not let him go..
Oh, who am I kidding? He is stronger than Superman. He could pry my fingers from his shirt as easily as if I had let them go myself.
I could have said something. Anything. I had wanted to scream at him. How could you?! But I couldn't open my mouth. My throat was dry and aching. I wanted to beat his chest and claw at his face.. But that would only damage me worse, if that was even possible..
I wanted to go back in time. Change what was..
But I couldn't.
You could be happy, I hope you are
Bella was better off this way. She could be happy. I know she could. Even if it kills me, I will stay away. I will let her live the life she deserves to live, a life without monsters.
I couldn't think about this depression that overcame me. I shook my head, and dug into my memory. I thought about the little things. Like the way she mumbled my name when she slept. Or the way she held my hand as we walked across the school campus. Or the way she smelled in the morning when I picked her up from school. Freshly showered with nothing masking her true scent..
Somehow everything I own smells of you
I pulled the crumpled tank top from my pocket and held it up to my face. I moaned. Bella, la mia cantante. I let the memories flood my vision, as vividly as if they were unraveling for the first time right before my eyes. I could see her, her adorable clutzy walk across the school campus. I was holding her hand. We were both smiling and happy. I could hear her accelerated heartbeat. I could smell her strawberry shampoo. I could taste her sweet scent on the back of my tongue. And in that split second, we weren't thousands of miles apart. I was in Forks, and Bella was still mine.
Do the things that you always wanted to
Edward is better off this way. All the Cullens are. Edward won't have to treat me like a china doll. He won't have to torture himself to just breathe near me.
They're finally free, free to live their own lives without worrying about me. Free to run without weight, free to play without caution, free to hunt without fear.
My tears finally started to fall. He isn't coming back.
More than anything I want to see you, girl
I need her to move on, to forget. I need her to love, and to live. I need her to go to college, and move to a big city and get a great job and get married and have kids and grandkids and great-grandkids.
I need this for her. But it hurts. It hurts so bad. I turned my head up and screamed at the cold Alaskan clouds.
My chest cracked and I started shaking. I wasn't going back...
