Music Lover


I'm addicted to all kinds of music RNB especially.
When I'm alone and no one to talk to,you'll find me inside my room listening music all day long.You can express your feelings through music.When you feel depress,try some alternative rock and you'll find yourself dancing.And if you're in love you like listening love songs,right?
Before i go to work and after office hours i always bring my MD player with me so whenever i feel board inside the car,i just turn it on.I know all of you guys out there loves music the way i do.
A music lover can reduce depression and stress free most of the time so if you feel like this sometimes try to be a music lover baby.....
That's all for now folks.....

Then one of my friends called me and asked me to go out.I decided to join them because i want to relax and meet new friends as well.All of us want to become stress free and feel happy even only for a short of time.
We've been to bay walk along Roxas Voulebard to watch the sunset.It feels so relaxing!This is where people of various races meet up for business,social and entertainment.After that we also went to lively bars at Malate and dance all night.
The established city of Malate which is known for its street parties and vivacious bars along Nakpil street,attracts very young crowd and trendy party goers.If you prefer simplicity and non pretentious fun,this place has a lot to offer.
Have fun!!!

Religion And Ethics-Christianity


Today before go to work,i went to Baclaran church to attend the mass because today (February 21,Wednesday)we Christians are celebrating ash Wednesday.Ash Wednesday is the beginning of lent for western Christian Churches.It's a day of penitence to clean the soul before the lent fast.
Roman Catholic,Aglican,and some other churches hold special services at which worshippers are marked with ashes as a symbol of death,and sorrow for sin.
The service draws on the ancient Biblical traditions of covering one's head with ashes,wearing sackcloth,and fasting.
It feels good to asked forgiveness and show HIM that we are praising HIM(LORD JESUS CHRIST)all the time,whenever we're sad,thankful,happy or feelin' down.He will always be there for us...to save us and to reach out.
Good night everyone..sweet dreams!!!Muahhhhh....

Being In The Right Age...


The Curse:While you're starting to embark on life's journey,hes already "been there,done twice over.
Magic Potion:In some cases,age is not just a number.It's a reflection of experiences and the length of time life has had to teach its lessons.Having a boyfriend way older than you is a sensitive issue because chances are,you are each at different learning stages in life.His eyes have been opened to the ways of the world much longer and you may not be ready for those realizations yet.If hes over 18 and you're not,it would be best to put your relationship on hold and wait until you're at the right age.Let your parents be your guide.Most importantly,don't be in a rush to get too serious.Take things slow and enjoy your youth!!

32 Students hurt as hanging bridge snaps in Batangas


Thirty-two girl scouts from a local school were injured when a hanging bridge they were crossing snapped in San Juan, Batangas, Friday, police said.

Senior Supt. Edmund Zaide, Batangas police director, said students from Batangas Eastern Academy were on their way to a mountain trek when the mishap occurred.

He said the girls were walking on the 15-meter hanging bridge in Barangay Mabalany when it broke off around 9:30 a.m.

Zaide said the ageing suspension bridge made from cable wire and wood could not hold the weight of the students who crossed it all at the same time.

The students, who plunged into the ravine bellow the bridge, survived.

He said residents and stall owners at the San Juan Public Market rushed to the area and helped the victims after they heard a loud thud.

“It was really fortunate that none of the students was killed. They only suffered bruises on their bodies," Zaide said.

He said the students were brought to San Juan District Hospital, Duque General Hospital and Lipa Medix Hospital for treatment.

Friends Forever


Before going to the office i make sure to text or mail some of my friends,because this is one of the best way to communicate with them.We're calling each other too especially when someone is in trouble."A true friend is someone who will always be there when everyone else fails".And one more thing friends are like stars,you can't always see them but you know that they are there.Having good friends is more than having a treasure.

Coconut Juice


Hi everyone!!!Good day to all of you.I'm here again to share my experience today.
Before going to the office,i clean the house for a while and change the cover of bed sheet,pillow,and curtains.I washed them too.I leave the house at 3:00 pm to make it possible i could get here (office) before 5:00 in the afternoon.On my way, i felt suddenly hungry so we (me and Hilda,one of my office mate) buy snacks along the streets and also a drink to sip called "buko juice or coconut juice".The coconut water have many healthy nutritional benefits.Coconut water is good for people with kidney problems.One Filipino doctor claimed that two glasses of fresh buko juice everyday can reduce one's chance of having kidney or ureter stones."Daily bucolysis" renoculsis with buko juice result in 10 percent reduction in size of all kidney stones.
Cold coconut juice on a hot summer day is so refreshing.The young coconut is green outside and have soft white coconut inside.After you drink the juice, the bonus is the young coconut meat inside.Try it once and I'm sure you'll going to liked it too.

More Pinoys leaving for China to teach English



I want to share you guys about the news I've read today,to inform you whats happening in overseas news.
More Filipino teachers are lured to go to China to teach English subjects in schools without work permit, a report from the Philippine Embassy in Beijing said.“While it is true that there is a need for English teachers in China, not all schools are authorized by the Chinese government to hire foreign teachers," the report said.Most of the cases of illegal recruitment and contract breaches involve unauthorized schools and fly-by-night recruitment agencies who hire Filipino teachers via the Internet or by telephone.They end up getting underpaid, jobless or even jailed for working and staying illegally or beyond the validity of their visit visa.The report cited the case of a 23-year-old education graduate from the Philippines who landed a job in Inner Mongolia as a middle school teacher with salary of 4,000 renminbis (equivalent to P25,000). She was arrested in a raid while teaching, and was found to have a fake visa. She was detained and fined 17,000 renminbis (about P100,000) for illegally working in China and for possession of a fake visa.With the help of the Philippine Embassy, her jail term was reduced and was subsequently deported to Manila.
Because of poverty,they want to try to work abroad although they also knew that it is illegal but in the end you have to faced all the consequences.Learn from your mistakes!
