Image
Charice Pempengco photo from Teen.com I was watching 30 Days with Charice on Teen.com and I was wooh amazed. She's totally exceptional. She blew me away entirely.

Anyway, I like it that they made a video for Charice which entails all her lakads as well as her performance and that includes different places in US, Japan and of course in my beloved country Philippines! Charice is really at the top of her pyramid and so happy for her. wow! She's sensational and not to mention left and right projects, beautiful and awe-inspiring songs as well as outstanding recognition.  Congratulations to the cute diva Charice, I'm so proud to be a Filipino because of you. I love all your songs and I can't help myself,  I felt like crying everytime I heard In this Song - song  hehe, yeah you're one amazing rising star and I wish nothing but the best for you. I kn...

Wine and Chocolate – good for the heart?

Image
Studies have shown that people who drink moderate of alcohol have little chance of getting the risk of heart disease than non drinkers plus drinking red wine offer health benefits too. It contains a compound flavonoids and resveratrol which helps to limit atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Drinking alcohol – red wine included - one to two drinks per day increases good HDL cholesterol* by about 12%. Moderate drinking of alcohol may also reduce the risk of blood clots. The American Heart Association urges moderation in alcohol consumption no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women. If you’re not a fan of alcohol or red wine it’s good to start now, drinking is a preventive measure if you have no other options. Dark chocolate and cocoa are rich in flavonoids (antioxidant). Research suggests that eating flavonoid-rich chocolate keep the blood vessels healthier by improving its ability to expand. Eating high-flavonoid dark chocolate daily helps high bloo...

A Royal Love Story

Image
William and Kate were meant to be one of the most awaited unions of the 21 st century. Prince William who would someday be crowned king of England and the stunning Kate who won the prince heart. What a royal love story indeed.  I thought that this kind of love story would happen only on films, but you know it can happen to real life and Kate is really blessed. The ordinary girl and the soon to be king defied all the odds despite of all the controversies and struggles.  Their royal relationship remained notably in silence; the bestselling author Christopher Andersen reveals all the intimate details of their courtship which involves all the scandals, tragedies happened throughout their decade romance. The book takes account of the Queens plans for Prince William and Kate which will transform the face of the monarchy. 

I Am Number Four

Image
I am Number Four is a story about an extraordinary teen John Smith (Alex Pettyfer) is a fugitive on the run from ruthless enemies sent to destroy him. Changing his identity, moving from town to town with his guardian Henri (Olyphant). John is always the new kid with no ties to his past. In the small Ohio town he now calls home, John encounters unexpected, life-changing events-his first love (Agron), powerful new abilities and a connection to the others who share his incredible destiny. I hate to admit it but I'm really looking forward to this movie. This film is based on the New York Times best -selling book by Pittacus Lore. It was a book again haha! The plot is really catchy as well as the title - don't you  agree?. Anyway ,  I'm crossing my fingers that the DVD  will be out soon since I can't watch it in cinemas. How sad is that. 

Somewhere Only We Know

Image
I heard this song from the movie He's Just Not that Into You, I began to like it and now it's on my playlist. I want to post it here so just bear with me. Keane - Somewhere Only We Know Can we go to the place somewhere only we know? I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute, why don't we go Tal...

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

Image
 A comedy about taking it one step at a time Life as we know it, yes of course we know life, it has ups and downs, highs and lows and yeah that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Two unlike poles became an instant parent, Holly (Katherine Heigl) and Eric (Josh Duhamel) are not on the same wavelength, and yeah I mean they tried to date but it didn’t happen, it didn’t work out the way they expected it to be.  After their best friends died on a car accident they took responsibility of their 1 year old daughter Sophie – well actually they didn’t have a choice it was a will of guardianship which Sophie’s parents planned just in case.  Well the story goes like they live on the same house together, took good care of the baby, changing the diapers and some parenting stuffs. Actually, the ending is predictable – haha! But you know I like Katherine so much, she’s stunning really and Josh is a charmer.

I hope I’ll win this; it’ll be hitting two birds in one stone! Yehay! While browsing through their catalog I was surprise, I love all the shirt designs, you have no idea I have hard time choosing a shirt, they’re all awe-inspiring. Kudos to the designers, I wish I can design one shirt too ^^.  Well after much deliberation I chose the THE VERY GREEDY CATERPILLAR - designed by Craig Watkins –two thumbs up!   There is something on this one; I love the illustration, the character of the caterpillar as a whole with different expressions on its anatomy . I so love the color! the caterpillar anatomy ...

Happy Hearts Day to all! Personally, ehemm. I want to thank those people who took their time and effort in writing a valentine message on that very cute heart card today at the office.

Are you a Professional?

I went to the Personality Development Training which was held on the roof-top’s office. yay! I learned a lot of things and I enjoyed the make up session since I'm not a fan of make up and stuff. I thought a lot of things, in order to develop more my skills. I think I have to work on my time management to reach my goals one at a time. One topic is about professionalism, well I thought, I knew the true meaning of it, I was totally wrong. After graduating from college, I didn't even consider myself a professional. I have no idea why, because I think you will be called such if you have obtained a Bachelor Degree of bla bla and so on. Well, I chose a 3 year course back in college. I am aware that this is just a vocational course. But the truth is - it was a very long history (it breaks my heart when I remember). Fortunately, blessing in disguise, that's how I label my course to conquer the negativity I felt during those times. I had a clear criticism during the...

Romance for 2011

Image
Below are romantic movies for 2011. I’m busy updating some movies and I wanna share some interesting romance movies this year. I saw the previews and read the plot, actually previews are very attention-grabbing.  NO STRINGS ATTACHED Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher   stars No Strings Attached directed by Ivan Reitman.  Emma (Portman) and Adam (Kutcher) are longtime friends and decided to be FWBs, friends with benefits – in short sex friends, yay! Hmm, I think the two can’t handle the demands of a steady relationship. They try to keep their relationship physical yet no emotional attached to it. But they’ll realize soon that they need more than that. FROM PRADA TO NADA Two attractive latina sisters have been left flat broke after their father’s death due to heart attack.  From riches to rags, they have no choice but to move with their aunt who resides in LA. Neither of the two is entirely happy with their new environment – bo...

Yes! Done reading this one. Oh Mr. Sparks, you have no idea how much I worship all your books.  The Lucky One is a story about true love, destiny and forgiveness.

The Lucky lady in the photo suddenly brings luck to Logan - winning poker games and even surviving some deadly battles, where his two closest friend died. His friend Victor told him that the lady in the photo is the one responsible bringing him sudden change of fate, that the photo is his Lucky charm . He doesn't believe at first, he thought it was ridiculous to look for a woman in the photo. He doesn't even know where to start. But when Victor died in an accident, Logan started seeing his ghost.  So ...
