Here are some of the things you can do to take care of the inner you.
How you are inside matters so much more than what you look like on the outside. That’s why you need to take care of the girl inside, and don’t ever let your view of yourself suffer just because of how others see you.
It’s a whole rack of chick flick soundtracks.
Ella Enchanted OST
If you’re in the mood to go bit crazy,have your own little concert and maybe jump around your room, do so with this revival-filled OST. We liked Anne Hathaway’s versions of “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” and “Somebody To Love” (original by 70s arena-rock icons Queen). Other enchanting revivals are “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart”, “Walking On Sunshine” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Respect”. read more...
A friend will always be there
to hold you tight.

Finally, I had a chance to visit the Manila Ocean Park! Yehey! At long last, we have our own state-of-the-art Oceanarium in the Philippines! Although a big part of building is still under construction (i.e. hotel, mall) but I am still impressed and loved the feeling of under the sea experience.
So how was the experience? I really enjoy a breathtaking 25-meter long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls. It feels like you’re walking under the ocean and experience how marine animals interact with each other in their natural habitat especially when the big shark and sting rays swim by over your head. read more...
Enjoy your freshly made tuna and vegetable salad.
I was crying when you left me all alone
without even saying goodbye.
My dreams are now covered with snow
Pale white shadows on my wall.
Empty sheels of your memories
Still linger here in my room
I feel bitter everytime I look back
I feel stupid ‘coz I gave my heart to you read more...
Silence is the flow of the mind,
Where happiness and sorrow meet.
Silence are the trees in the forest,
While paper is filled with fantasies.
Silence is the noise of the earth,
As the stars continue to twinkle. read more

The secret of healthy skin.
1. If you smoke, try to quit. If you don’t smoke, give your self a gold star. Studies have shown that people who smoke have deeper and sharper wrinkles at the outer corners of their eyes (crow’s feet) and that the skin on the backs of their necks takes on a cobblestone appearance. Smokers’ skin also tends to be pale and sallow rather than pink and rosy. And apparently, smoking makes your skin more vulnerable to sun-induced damage. So, if you quit smoking today, you can stop wrinkles in their tracks. read more...

The substance shown here are examples of natural ingredients that perform valuable roles in cosmetics, often aided by synthetic compounds.
Plant and animal products have been use as bases, colors and fragrances in makeup since ancient times. Today, some people believe that products that come from the earth instead of lab are somehow gentler and more compatible with our skin than synthetics.
But natural products are not always better than synthetics. For example, most make-up contains water, which fosters bacterial growth. Natural preservatives, such as rosemary oil and grape fruit seed extract, don't prevent contamination early as well as synthetic compounds. read more...
A relaxing soak in a warm bath at the end of the taxing day can be one of life’s more pleasurable rituals. With a little imagination and a few simple ingredients, you can turn a tub of warm water into a sensual soak. Now, light a candle, place a little sachet nearby and add one of these to your bath.
Vinegar
Add ½ cup of white vinegar to a few inches of warm (not hot) bath water. The slightly acidic solution helps to rinse away soap residue that, left behind, could irritate sensitive skin. Vinegared bath water also counteracts vaginal infections—the organisms cannot survive in an acidic environment.
Bath Salts and Crystals
If you bathe in hard water, add ½ cup of table salt, baking soda, bath salts or bath crystals to your tub water. It helps make the water soft. read more...
Choosing the proper skin care regimen depends on knowing what kind of skin you have.
This may not be as simple as it sounds -- your skin can vary with the seasons and change with age. Still, nearly everyone's skin -- whether young or not-so-young, male or female, fair or dark -- falls into one of the categories I show here. Use this guide to determine which skin type most nearly matches your own.
Cleansing the skin is like preparing a wall for a fresh coat of paint: no matter how pretty the color, the paint job will look slipshod if there are dirty and rough spots underneath. Poorly cleansed skin will look dull and flaky. The oil glands can clog and form whiteheads or pimples, even in people with dry skin. And no amount of even the finest makeup can cover these flaws. read more...
Be more competent and more confident.
Looking your best has very real psychological, social and emotional benefits.
Certainly, self enhancement improves the way others see you respond to you, improving your relationships with friends, family and co-workers. But more important, looking good improves your self-image (how you see yourself) and self-esteem (how you feel about yourself.) It starts a chain reaction that improves the quality of your life. read more...
If you have none to love - who loves you - then what? What do you do?
Love - that elusive, for some, state of mind...state of being that, for so many people, is THE defining factor in their lives. We write songs about it. We write poetry about it. We write books about it. We watch movies about it. Seems that we will do nearly anything to find it...anything to keep it. But again I ask...Love - what the hell is it?
It seems we can't live without it. We are told it "makes the world go around". Songs tell us "you're nobody 'til somebody loves you"....and "all we need is love". Love - what the hell is it? read more...

Why do white people make up the majority of Obama-haters?
All right, this is something that I’ve noticed recently. I can not help but notice what race of people do make up the majority of Obama-haters, white people.
This is not a diss to all white people. I’m just referring to Obama-haters.
Actually, Obama gain more white male votes than Al Gore and John Kerry, previous Democrats who ran for President.
I can understand if President Obamas’s political vision conflicts with another person’s. Still, I just can not help but to notice the racial make-up of those that outright do not like this man.
I’ve read everything from our President being the anti-Christ, to being just another crooked politician and all the way to him being another Adolf Hitler.
As my mother and I watched a news clip of the President giving a speech, I took notice of the gray spots in his hair.
“His hair is going to be pure white after four years,” I said. read more...
I've always been an artist
and I'm proud to say
this is who I'll forever be.
It's a passion that I've had
since I was a little girl
and something I'll go to the grave with.
It's a love affair that I've had
with Art that I haven't been able
to compare anything else in life with. read more...
Am not a good writer
not even good in spelling and grammar,
but I do creative stuff like poetry,
graphic design, story telling and blogging.
Am not even good in meeting people
but once you know me and have me as a friend,
I will treat you as a treasure that even mosquitoes
could not hurt you if am around. read more...
This is just an idea of comparison about a child and a heart. So you can add comments or some other insights about this comparison.
A child is always hungry. cries out for milk, maybe for cerelac and his mother's breasts. Crumbles for water when he's thirsty, screams when he's tummy boils. He is like the heart - cries when it is lonely, bleeds when it is thirsty for love. It screams when it needs another heart to feed it. Feed it with joy, hope and courage. These three adjectives are like water, cerelac and the mother's breasts where the heart seeks for only one satisfaction.
The child is satisfied when he is filled with food. The heart is satisfied when it is filled with just love.
A child is inconstant in behavior. in a certain time span he smiles, cries, laughs out loud, screams, giggles, silences, envies, plays, frowns, asks. he do these verbs to just be simply satisfied. read more...
I opened my eyes and I saw a girl with pink flowers. She was so beautiful... so innocent!
I opened my eyes. I saw a light shining down on me. I tried to reach for it, but on my way I heard someone crying.
It was a girl with pink flowers. She's so beautiful, so innocent, so.... I looked at her and wonder what could she be doing alone in a filthy place like this. I watch her cry her heart out with silent whispers I barely can hear.
Murmurs of guilt, anger, and sadness, that is all that I can get. I move closer and I see her eyes, so weary and confused. I tried to come closer, but the light distracted me. It was becoming brighter, almost like calling me to reach for it. I was going through the light, but there was something that kept me holding back. read more...

them be happy. read more...

Stuff you should know to avoid, and the signs of the bad habits/addiction nowadays.
Nicotine
Smoking resulted in 4.9 million deaths in 2000. That number is expected to rise to 8.9 million by 2020. - (Action on Smoking and Heath, Australia 2003; WHO 2002)
Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including ammonia (floor/toilet cleaner), arsenic (rat poison), formaldehyde (body tissue preserver), hydrogen cyanide (gas chamber poison). - (Surgeon General's Report, US Government 1989)
"A cigarette is the only consumer product that when used as directed kills it consumers." - (Dr. G.H Brundtland, Director - General Emeritus, WHO 2005)
Tobacco and puberty form a vicious link. Tobacco tends to be consumed more by the poor. In turn, it contributes to poverty through loss of income and loss of productivity due to ill-health and premature death." - (Dr. S. Pilanbangchung - Regional Director, WHO - SEAR 2005) read more...
The first thing you do is determine if the entire system is not responding or it is just the particular application you are using. Try to press the Caps Lock button, then see if the Num Lock and /or Caps Lock led indicators (in the uppermost right corner of your keyboard)light up.If they do, then it is most likely that only application you are using is the one not responding (see 1a.). If you see no reaction at all,then the entire system is not working(see 1b.) read more...

A love that lasts forever.
I never knew I could love anyone
until I met you.
You made me realize
what love is all about,
in your own way,
you helped me break the barrier of hate.
Long enough to catch a glimpse of a love
that is so everlasting.
You have given me memories to occupy
the emptiness of my mind. read more...

Fight off sleep with a natural chemical boost.
1. Cocoa
this is where chocolate comes from. Eating 28 grams of regular milk chocolate bar will give you as much caffeine boost as decaf.
2. Coffee Beans
On the average, a single-shot espresso gives a caffeine kick of 40 mg, while strong drip coffee has about 100mg of caffeine.
3. Tea
A serving of tea has, on the average, half the caffeine of a serving coffee. Oolong and black tea generally contain higher amounts of caffeine than other teas. read more...
It's all good and crystal clear.
1. Interesting water-y things happen when our body metabolizes the things we eat. But while our bodies require about 10 cups of water for metabolism, it also makes half cup of water during the biological process.
2. We need about eight glasses of water, yes. But we also obtain about three and a half cups from the food that we eat.
3. Not all liquids you drink can make for the daily requirement of eight glasses. Milk, for instance, contains concentrated nutrients. This is why it is considered more as food than as drink. read more...
What to do when you accidentally drop your mobile phone into the glass of water.
1. Turn it off
Get it out of the water in 20 seconds or less. switch it off immediately and remove the battery. If you're in the beach and salt water's the culprit, sorry but you've got to prepare to retire the unit.
2. Take it off
Disassemble the phone. remove the SIM card, the battery, keypad mat, and casing. Pat the SIM card dry, and wipe the remaining parts with a dry cloth before setting it aside. read more...
Softball. Nope, there's nothing soft about it.
Mr. Webster defined sport as a physical activity engaged in for pleasure. For someone playing softball, I can attest that it is more complicated than what meets the eye. True, it resembles baseball though bigger balls, smaller fields, and more rules are used.I first played the game when I was still a freshman in high school. I thought it was just sport that's similar to soccer, only with a literally "softer" ball used. We played it for an inter-section competition so I went on playing the game without any knowledge whats over. I was struck out because i kept batting every pitch not knowing if it's a good pitch or a ball. After that, I didn't get to play softball again because on my second year I transferred to another school where softball is uhmm, a "dormant" sport. Softball became a sport that i dream of playing again, if given a chance. Then came high school graduation, where I received the greatest gift ever, the opportunity to be enrolled in a summer camp where I can play softball again -- the Softbelles Summer Camp. read more...
Find out if you're committing the most common dieting mistakes.
Most people would do anything to lose a few extra pounds -- diets, trips to the gym and joining all kinds of sports programs. Of course, there are the few lucky ones who don't have the seemingly perfect figure still have a complaint or two about their bodies. Sometimes, diets, workouts, endless aerobics, tae bo, and badminton sessions still aren't sufficient in getting us the desired look we aim for. What are we doing wrong? Is the exercising not enough? Is there a flaw in our dieting techniques? Find out if you're committing the most common dieting mistakes:
1. You skip breakfast and other meals
This is one of the biggest mistakes people make when they diet. Skimping breakfast is definitely a bad idea--whether you're on a diet or not. Skimping breakfast slows down your metabolism and conserves the fat as the source of energy to get you through that day's activities. When you eat breakfast however the carbohydrates you take in will be used as your body's energy fuel and is easier than fats to breakdown. recommended breakfast foods include wheat cereals with milk and fresh fruits. Try to stay away from fatty foods like bacon and canned foods, which have a lot of preservatives that are bad for the body. read more...
I stare at him oftentimes
wondering what those deep brown eyes are thinking,
If the slight wrinkling of his forehead
means that his thoughts are the same as mine.
I mistook the silence of mystery,
A puzzle I cannot wait unravel,
that there was a magnificent person
lying beneath the blank space that always faced me. read more...
I'm complete but I feel there's something missing
I'm satisfied but I'm still looking for something
I still have this desolate feeling within the deepest part of me
Though I'm not alone, not really
I'm contented but something's not making me enough
The puzzle is now done but there's a part that sticks out
I can still feel it hammering my insides
Telling me that there is still something that I should find
To nourish me, to nurture me
To make me feel important
Not to be obsolete read more...
