Madalas ako sa mga bars before together with my friends. Mahilig din akong kumanta, pero madalas mangyari ika nga'y "may daga sa dibdib". Yeah, I needed still to build self-confidence kasi madalas ang performance ko on stage ay masasabi kong nininerbiyos pa rin ako. Last year, I once went to the MusicBox located somewhere in Quezon City with some friends. Dahil ako ang pinakabata among the rest, ako ang pinakanta on the stage, nung time na yong mga performers dun ay pipili or let's say tatawag sila ng isa sa bawat table kung saan nila ito pakakantahin... Wala ako maisip that time so "Sana Dalawa Ang Puso Ko" na lang ang kinanta ko hehe... Wanna hear it!...

Happy Father's Day
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a DADDY!
Happy Father's Day to all the Daddys in the World!!
Father's Day is a special day for everyone! We use this day to honor our fathers all over the world! We celebrate this holiday on the third Sunday in June. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Her father, Henry Jackson Smart, had raised Sonora after her mother died and she wanted him to know how special he was to her. Her father was born in June, so she chose that month to celebrate the new holiday!
MY HERO
I recall many times that he stood by my side,And prodded me on with great vigor and pride.His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair,Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care.The power and might of his hands was so sure,I knew there was nothing we couldn't endure.It's true, a few others provided insight,Yet, he laid the foundation that kept me upright.He's the grandest of men to have lived on this earth,Although he's not royal by stature or birth.He's a man of great dignity, honor and strength.His merits are noble, and of admirable length.He's far greater than all other men that I know,He's my Dad, he's my mentor, my friend and hero.

Manila, Philippines Overview
Metropolitan Manila encompasses six cities and 12 towns. Located on Manila Bay in the South China Sea, and bisected by the Pasig River, the capital of the Philippines is historic and modern, rich and poor.A popular sight is the walled area called Intramuros. The capital during Spanish colonization, Intramuros has retained old dungeons and gunpowder rooms but added art galleries and theaters. The city is filled with museums, shops, parks and churches, plus enough nightlife to last until dawn.
Manila Weather & When to Go:
Manila is a tropical country -- so there are only two seasons: wet and dry. The weather and temperature rarely changes which means you can visit Manila any time of the year. If you're touring, it's best to avoid the rainy season in July and August.Eighty degrees is an average temperature throughout the year, although how this feels can vary with the humidity. Nights rarely get cold, even during the winter months. Updated weather information for Manila can be found online at http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/98429.html or http://weather.cnn.com/weather/forecast.jsp?locCode=MANX
Travelers interested in heading to Manila during important events throughout the year should know that Manila celebrates major international holidays such as Christmas, New Years and Easter as well as local holidays.
Manila Health & Safety:
Most of the business districts, such as Makati, Ortigas, Bonifacio Global City, and Eastwood, and the primary tourist spots such as Intramuros, are generally safe areas for tourists. Of course, use common sense. As with all tourist areas, pickpockets will abound, so bring a bag that you can wear close to your body and avoid wearing valuables and flashy jewelry. Avoid travelling alone in dark areas.
Tap water is not potable in Manila. When in doubt, drink mineral/distilled water or soda.
Manila History:
The early history of Manila begins in the middle of the sixteenth century, when Muslims settled along the Pasig River and started a religious community there. The area was originally ruled by a triumvirate made up of two leaders who ruled in the south and one leader who ruled in the north. (For more about the general neighborhoods of Manila, visit http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g298573-s204/Manila:Luzon:Neighborhoods.html)
The Muslim community did not have long to thrive. In 1570, Spanish conquistadores arrived in the area and took over. They destroyed the Muslim settlement and created a walled fortress at Intramuros. They used the area as an export base for silver mining. Eventually, the area was named capital of the Philippines.
Modern interest in Manila did not come to the forefront until World War II. The Manila Massacre was an important battle in that war, and the area was considered to be of great importance in the struggle between the United States and Japan.
Since that time, Manila has been doing its best to rebuild itself as a city. Tourism has only recently become a major industry in the area. An influx of tourists in the area has lead to renewed growth and revitalization which has never been seen before in the history of Manila.
Manila Neighborhoods:
Manila is divided in to sixteen distinct neighborhoods, known locally as districts. These sixteen districts are categorized into south districts and north districts with the area of Pasig being the dividing line between the districts.
· South Districts
o Ermita – This is one of the most popular tourist areas in Manila. Daytime attractions and nightlife spots are generally located here.
o Intramuros
o Malate – This is the other of the most popular tourist areas in Manila. Daytime attractions and nightlife spots can be found here.
o Paco
o Pandacan
o Port Area – This district is a relatively new neighborhood in comparison with the other neighborhoods of both the south and north districts.
o San Andreas Bukid – This neighborhood was originally a part of the Santa Ana neighborhood but grew in to its own. It retains much of the flavor of Santa Ana with a more modern style.
o Santa Ana – Santa Ana is considered the old town sister district of San Andreas Bukid.
· North Districts
o Binondo – This is the Chinatown of Manila.
o Quiapo
o Sampaloc – This is considered the old town sister district of Santa Mesa. The two districts are very similar but this one has more history.
o San Miguel
o San Nicolas
o Santa Cruz
o Santa Mesa – This district was originally a part of the Sampaloc neighborhood but grew enough to become its own area.
o Tondo – This is a primarily residential area and is considered by many to be the “bad neighborhood” of Manila. It is safe, but there are not too many reasons for tourists to travel here.
Manila Recommended Reading:
Many travelers find that it is helpful to do some reading about the intended travel destination before finalizing plans for the trip. This can provide insight about the best ways to travel, the best things to see and the nature of the people and the culture of the area. Travelers interested in supplementing their Manila travel plans in such a fashion may consider reading the following books:
“The Rough Guide to the Philippines” by Rough Guides provides basic travel information for visitors just getting started in trying to figure out what they want to do during their Manila vacation.
“Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling Philippines” by Heneage Mitchell is a guide to the best water adventure options in and around Manila.
Manila Arriving & Departing:
Many tourists in Manila stay in the Makati area because of its proximity to excellent lodging, dining, and nightlife. The trip from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to central Makati can take anywhere from 20 minutes to more than an hour, depending on what time of day you are travelling. It is best to avoid the rush hours of 7-9am and 5-7pm, during which traffic can get quite nad.
There are several transportation options available to you. First, there is the Airport Taxi service that you will notice on the left side as soon as you exit the airport's arrival area. This service typically uses Sports Utility Vehicles (larger than the typical city taxis) to bring you to your destination. Depending on where you are going, your trip may cost anywhere from around US$7.50 to US$11 for travel within the Metro Manila. This is generally a safe option as the license plate and driver details are logged and a copy of the information slip is given to you. The rate is agreed upon prior to departure and will not change upon reaching your destination.
An alternative option is to arrange for a hotel car to pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. These need to be arranged in advance, as only the most exclusive hotels have permanent booths set-up outside the arrivals area. This is probably one of the most expensive options, ranging anywhere from US$20 to US$40 depending on the hotel. The vehicles are usually nice and well-maintained, and you will be driven my a member of the hotel's staff.
Finally, the most affordable option is to turn right upon exiting the arrivals area, and go up the outside stairs to the departures area. You can then take a city taxi (there are plenty dropping passengers off at the airport). The tricky thing about this is you need to have a general idea of where you're going and you need to be confident and assertive to make sure you are not overcharged. You need to insist that the driver use his meter and not add on any additional charges. A trip to Makati will only cost you about US$2 using this method.
An alternative to this is to book a 'hotel' car in advance from your hotel. When you depart from the baggage claim area and turn right you will see a hotel waiting area as well as several unitformed 'greeters'. In particular the Shangrila, Peninsula and Mandarin are quite conspicuous. You will have several choices; Mercedes Benz or Toyota sedan. They are both clean and relatively inexepensive $40 - 75 one way. The driver will greet you with a cool towel, bottled water and newspapers.
Manila Public Transportation:
So you want to travel to Manila and use the public transport system... locally, we call that "Commuting"; and often times this means riding either (one or a combination of) tricycles, pedicabs, jeepneys, FXs, elevated trains, and buses. Many, if not all hotels and hostels in and around Metro Manila are a short walk to take your ride to somewhere else. So let's break it down according to mode of transportation:
Light Rail Transits (LRT, MRT, MRT 2)
The rail transits have three lines: the LRT and MRT 2 and the MRT, which travels along Metro Manila's main highway, EDSA. (Click on the links to view the different lines.) The RT lines are interconnected (ex. you can transfer from the MRT Taft station to the LRT Baclaran station), but there is a separate fare for each line. Single journey tickets and stored value tickets (tickets that have been preloaded with credits) are sold for each line. If you plan to use the RTs frequently, it is best to purchase a stored value ticket to avoid long lines at ticket booths during rush hours. The RTs are the quickest way to get around Metro Manila while avoiding the traffic. Be prepared, however, to brave the crowds especially during rush hour, when the trains are usually packed.
Taxi Cabs
For safety reasons, it is advised to call a taxi company in advance for a cab, or to call a cab from a hotel (although this may be more expensive than regular taxis). If you're not a local, the cab driver will more often than not, ask for a flat fare that is at least two times the usual, so always demand the driver to turn the taxi meter on, and take note of the plate number upon boarding. Its advisable also to have extra coins & small denominated bills with you so you can pay the exact fare, as most taxi drivers do not give change. Tipping is optional, but 20 pesos is enough.
Pedicab
The simplest form of public transport includes a bicycle with an attached sidecar. Although phased-out and illegal in most parts of Metro Manila, pedicabs can be found in and around the Metropolis. The "driver" is usually male and the age range is from the teens on up. The charge is a flat fare, usually PhP 10.00 - 30.00 per person. Never settle beyond PhP 30. The cab has two seating areas that face each other. The seat that faces forward is the wider seat and is probably less than a meter long. The seat facing back is much narrower and meant for children, although you may see teenagers on up sitting on them too. Best practice is to always ask for the fare before getting on; personally, I think most foreigners wouldn't even get in one since pedicabs in the Metro seldom travel more that two (2) kilometers "point-to-point".
Tricycles
There are more than 700,000 tricycles in the Metro. Tricycles normally link a business/commercial area to the residential areas, or main road to the "inards" of a locality. You hire a trike for either a "special trip", or "regular trip". All this really means is that you are either going solo (special trip) or waiting for the trike to fill up with other passengers (regular trip). Unlike pedicabs, tricycle normally ply their routes in an area with a pre-defined boundary. So within this area, you will pay a flat fare. The fares vary from place to place, but to give you an idea: a special trip usually starts from PhP10.00 up to, but not over Ph35.00; regular trips, on the other hand, start from PhP7.50 up to PhP15.00. However, if your trip will take you across say two boundaries, the flat fare is multiplied by three (3) times. Word to the wise: tryke drivers tend to be the craziest (read: most dangerous) drivers.
Jeepneys
I think they came into vogue right after the Second World War. Among equipment left behind by the Americans were the Willy's Jeeps, probably in the thousands. They were inherently sturdy and very easy to maintain; and had the ability to take you wherever their wheels could get traction. I think at that time these Jeeps could accomodate about six to eight people (including the driver). Today's jeepneys retain the traditional look of the Willy's Jeep at the front, but have passenger areas that can seat anywhere from 14 to 24 people. The basic fare in Metro Manila is PhP7.50 for the first four (4) kilometers, then there's a fixed additional fee for every unit of distance travelled. (I can remember if it's PhP1.00 per kilometer, so please don't quote me.) Some jeepney routes cover four (4) kilometers or less, while others travel much longer routes. Best practice is to ask any of the locals in the establishment where you're staying. More often than not, they'll be able to tell you which jeepneys to take, and how much you'll have to pay. Most driver are reasonably safe (in the local context) although there are those who believe that only they have the right to use and were probably tricycle drivers not too long ago.
Manila Taxis & Rental Cars:
For the most part you don't need a rental car in the Phillipines. In major cities taxis are cheap and cheerful. Just make sure they turn on the meter. In the Provinces jeepneys and trikes (motorcycles w/a sidecare) are the best choices. Just be aware that trike drivers are the one of the biggest banditos in the country, often trying to charge you well over what a metered taxi costs in Manila or Cebu. If you want to travel long distances you can hire a car and driver for reasonable prices. Be aware that hiring a car and driver at the hotel will cost you more than getting one on the street. Taxis will also drive you anywhere but you will have to baragin for the price. For long disatnace travel buses are good value. If there are many of you, just hire a car and driver or a taxi. Finally, ferries and domestic airlines go everywhere in the Phillipines and fares are very reasonable. Ferries are the choice if you want to mix with the locals, or get an overnight cabin or are into a leisurely travel with seaviews of the islands along the way without paying a fortune.
Unfortunately many taxi drivers do not turn on their meters when you get in. Check and ask - each and every time. Many drivers will claim their meters are broken or not working. Others just flatly refuse to turn on the meter. This is illegal; taxis are not allowed to operate at all, unless their meter is working and turned on. If a taxi driver refuses to turn on his meter, just get out of the taxi and get the next one - there are always plenty of taxis around in Manila. If you travel by un-metered taxi you can expect to get ripped off and charged at least double the proper fare. There is a hot-line for reporting taxi drivers who break the rules to the controlling organization, LTFRB, but this is ineffective and does not result in drivers' taxi licenses being suspended.

Smoking Cessation Health Channel
When I get home I just love to go out the back and have a smoke. Smoking in itself is associated with timed-out and relaxing I believe. Cigarettes provide a quick fix for feelings of boredom, anxiety and depression and, without their aid, it can be frightening - or at least uncomfortable to confront these emotions head on.
Unfortunately, the key to dealing with this kind of temptation is to do exactly that SMOKER don't always realize that the acute anxiety they feel will pass without smoking. It's not just your lungs you need to worry about. Smoking has been linked to cancer of the cervix and vulva, and osteoporosis. It's also associated with complications reduced fertility, hypertension, eye cataracts, back pains and heavy. There's also evidence that blocking of the arteries begins straight away.
Just one cigarette can dull your sense of taste and smell, make you more susceptible to coughs and colds, and reduce the function of the little hairs that sweep the dust out of your bronchial tubes. The statistics are frightening, so why do we take up the habit?....
Below, some tips to help you quit smoking are listed. First and foremost, set a quit date and quit COMPLETELY on that day. To prepare for that day:
• Identify the times you are most likely to smoke. For example, do you tend to smoke when feeling stressed? When you are out at night with friends? While you are drinking coffee? When you are bored? While you are driving?
• Keep a diary to help you determine such risky times. Record each time you have a cigarette, including time of day and what you are doing.
• Make a plan about what you will do instead of smoking at those times that you are most likely to smoke. For example, drink tea instead of coffee -- tea may not trigger the desire for a cigarette. Or, take a walk when feeling stressed. Remove ashtrays and cigarettes from the car. Place pretzels or hard candies there instead. Pretend-smoke with a straw.
• Let all of your friends, family, and co-workers know of your plan to stop smoking and your quit date. Just being aware that they know can be a helpful reminder and motivator.
• Prior to your quit date, start reducing your cigarette use, including decreasing the number and strength of the cigarettes. However, DON'T do this simply to make your diary "look good!" Get rid of all of your cigarettes just prior to the quit date and clean out anything that smells like smoke, such as clothes and furniture.
Other tips that can help you quit and stay quit include:
• Enroll in a smoking cessation program (hospitals, health departments, community centers, and work sites frequently offer programs).
• Ask your health care provider for advice, including whether prescription medications (such as bupropion -- Zyban or Wellbutrin) are safe and appropriate for you.
• Find out about nicotine patches, gum, and sprays.
• Try hypnosis -- it works for some people.
• Avoid smoke-filled settings and situations in which you are more likely to smoke.
• Exercise to relieve urges to smoke.

SEX vs LOVE
You might have heard it already, from a guy you know. It’s a line that goes something like this:1. “If you love me, you’ll have sex with me.”
2. “I love you, I just want to show you how I feel.”
3. “If we love each other, there’s nothing wrong with it.”
4. “Sex is natural.”
At one time or another, most girls hear some version of one of those lines. But guess what?
None of them mean you have to sex with someone—even if you are truly, madly, deeply in
love with that person! Love and sex are two different things! Love and Sex are not the same thing. Love is an emotion or a feeling. There is no one definition of love because the word “love” can mean many different things to many different people. Sex, on the other hand, is a biological event. Even though there are different kinds of sex, most sexual act have certain things in common. Sex can be intercourse, or it can be something that does not involve penetration, such as oral sex.
Here are just a few of the differences between love and sex:· Love is a feeling (emotional).
· There is no exact “right” definition of love for everybody.
· Love involves feeling of romance and/or attraction.
· Love does not necessarily have to include, or lead to, sexual activity.
· Sex is an event or act (physical).
· Sex can lead to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
· Sex can make two people feel closer, but it can also hurt, or cause two people to feel farther apart.
· Sex proves nothing.
· On its own, sex means nothing.
Should you have sex? So what if you’re in love, and you think it’s the real deal…should you have sex? Nobody—not even the person you’re in love with—can answer this question for you. You have to think about your own personal values and feelings.
You teenage years bring a lot of changes in how you feel about yourself, family, and potential love interests—even if you don’t think about sex. No matter what your feelings on sex are, it may be smart to wait until something “feels right.” And even then, it’s a good idea to wait a month or two.
If it’s truly love, and it’s meant to be, it will survive and even grow stronger without sex. If it isn’t, then you will be really glad you waited and found that out, before you got intimately involved on a physical level.
Ways to express love without sex:
There are millions of non-sexual ways to show someone you care about them. You can show a person you care for them by spending time with them. Go to the movies. Or just hang out and talk. If you are with someone you really like, then anything can be fun.
There are other ways to feel physically close without having sex too. These ways include everything from kissing and hugging to touching and fondling each other. Just remember that if you’re not careful, these activities can lead to sex.
Some activities that aren’t sex can also lead to STD’s, so educate yourself and be aware of the risks.
Plan beforehand just how far you want to go, and sticks to your limits. It can be difficult to say no and mean it when things get hot and heavy, so make sure you have a plan for how you’ll handle that kind of situation.

Down- There Hair Concerns:
PUBIC HAIR can extend from just below your navel pass your underwear line and down to your upper thighs. Most men have hair inside their butt checks and around their anuses. Because pubic hair helps reduce friction during sex, you may experience a little chafing when you rub against your guy.But other than that, going bald doesn't pose any other health risks. Pubic hair also traps odor caused by normally occuring sweat and bacteria, so the more hair you have, the stronger the odor. Reduce it by showering with a mild soap at least once a day as well as after a workout!...

A Whole New World - (LYRICS)
I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me...

The best person in my life!...
Well, guys... I really don't like discussing my life with other people because I just want to focus on the more positive things, such as my family. I usually just keep things to myself. But if I am going to be asked, I'd opt to share my life with others who haven't known me yet... At some point, I do need to be honest with myself and say, I've had an affair with a man before, to some extent I do need to identify as GAY... To fall in love with someone with same sex doesn't mean you're gay, it just means sexual orientation is a fluid thing. I love living alone but if ever I had the chance of meeting a wonderful man I would grab the opportunity of choosing him because that's what my life to be. Never I imagined myself living with a woman, but circumstances made a way I got married. But for now, we're not really meant for each other anymore! I love meeting and be with a man who is intelligent, handsome and has a great body. I am looking for that wonderful and sensual WHITE GUY who can be my partner and bring me the happiness I have been missing in that part of my life. I have or can have most anything I want. (Within reason - so don't get the wrong idea... More to come on this subject when we meet or correspond.) Now I just need that missing part. Someone to share it all with. Someone who is appreciative and respectful and doesn't take things for granted. Unlike most Asian guys I met. A man to experience life with the good and bad. At this point in my life it will be mostly good. Someone I can give to and spoil and will do the same for me. To say Thank You for the biggest and littlest things - being grateful. Someone who will be there till the end. A man who is submissive yet has an opinion. It's real simple,... However, we must also have other mutual interests and be willing to try each other’s interests. I would love to meet a man who can show me and teach me new things...
As a matter of fact, I already have HIM who I think compliments me or should I say completes me. I spent days and nights thinking of what I really loved about him and the more I get to know him, the more I found things to love about him. I can't get mind off him the whole day. Even at work I am inspired to do well because there's is someone I look forward to meeting every night when I got home. In fact, I am dying to show him how I really feel, but we're miles apart. I guess that's a part of loving someone. ...having the patience to wait.
Always remember this honey:
"I LOVE YOU for the rest of my life. I can't stop dreaming of you. Without you, I would never feel this way every single day and night. I am willing to give you whatever you want and to fight for our love. I am willing to spend my whole life with you just to show how much I love you. Loving you would be the sweetest thing to do in my whole life!..."
