Crazy in love :)

2012-01-25T03:09:00.000+08:00

I wrote this short kind of poem i guess (lol) for only a couple of minutes

because I was inspired that time while thinking of him.

Just wanna share it to everyone.

I know he will like it bcoz i made it. lol

AND hopefully you all like it too.

--C R A Z Y I N L O V E--

Happiness from your eyes is all I see;

I know its love from deep inside.

Inspired by a single thought,

could make the world go back & forth.

I know it feels like CRAZY IN LOVE,

But whatever it is called all i know is you're the one i love.

Getting Rid of Pimples

2011-02-24T11:46:00.000+08:00

(photo credits to the owner)

Pimple or Acne is one of the major health problems.

As i experienced it too few months ago. So, i would like to share how i get rid of those

ugly pimples on my face. I know everyone wanted to have this flawless and acne-free skin, right?

Based on my experience, i had it for a couple of months like 5 months of treatment,

tried different products but it doesnt gave me the best result i was looking for.

So I went to my derma and gave me this product Panoxyl 5% acnegel.

So when i got home i searched for this product on google and i found out a review that this product really effective. So then, i used it every night and then every morning w/ cetaphil bar soap as my cleanser. And after 1 week it dries out all my pimple but it dries my skin as well, so my advice that put it only on pimples as what i did. And it leaves some black spots on your skin. So after it all dries up i treated the black spots w/ St. Dalfour the original cream. Make sure to buy and use the original cream coz i read a lot of review that some Dalfour Cream doesnt give you good effects. Then after a week of use on Dalfour my face was back tot he skin it used to be.:)

These are the products i was using:

CETAPHIL

simple ways to make your skin smoother

2011-01-10T21:53:00.001+08:00

Tired and wanted to have smoother skin?

Here are my simple ways of advices on how to make your skin more smoother.

***************************

I have tried different products just to have my skin radiant glowing and to make it smoother.

But anyhow it will also depends on you skin type.

To make your skin smoother and finer follow these steps:

( i read this on a magazine and tried it myself . for me its effective)

1. CLEANSE. Use a cleanser any product that you used to cleanse your face will do but for me i use PONDS facial wash.

2. TONE. Toner will make your pores closed. So better use also Toners that are mild. Mild toners will not burn your skin face. Have you observed or saw a person uses Toner and later on after a week or a month her skin face is "reddened"? that is because of the substance. So better use MILD TONERS. For me i used PONDS TONER (pore tightening)

3. EXFOLIATE. Exfoliation removes your dead skin cell. I recommend you using st.ives product. It leaves your skin really smooth immediately the results are there :)

4. MOISTURIZE. This could help your skin young and healthy. Use celeteque moisturizer

Sinulog Kabataan sa Lalawigan 2011

2011-01-10T21:38:00.000+08:00

Last January 8, 2011, the Cebu's biggest feast for Snr. Sto. Nino had a Sinulog Kabataan sa Lalawigan 2011.

Wanted to share about my younger sister's experience.

She was one of the Festival Queen, representing from the Department of Education Secondary Division in the City of Bogo.

They were 10 participants from different cities of Cebu. But they dont got any prices. But being one of the participants would make them a WINNER already for they have to travel long and be part of the Sinulog Festival 2011.

All the depEd heads worked as one just to have this dance "ritual" competition successful and it was! :)

Congrats to all the Heads and Staff and to their Choreographer even though they just had their practice only for 7 days yet they executed and danced well on the competition. They're lacking of some props yet i know they did there best!

For my sister, Congrats! its a job well done :)

Here are preview of some pictures of the Bogo City dancers.

the New iPod Touch

2010-09-06T16:45:00.000+08:00

NEW iPOD:
-RETINA TOUCHSCREEN-FACETIME
-A4 Processor
-New Thinner casing
-New 64GB CAPACITY!!

***********************************************

Most importantly the new 2010 Apple iPod Touch with the retina display will lauch as early as next week. There will be 3 models of the new apple iPod. The price tag isn’t bad either starting at $229 for the 8GB model, then the classic price of $299 for the 32GB model, and the highest capacity yet found in the touch series sitting at $399 for a huge 64GB iPod!

Steve Jobs said that the brand new iPod touch models will also run the same exact iMovie applications, that were before only avaliable on the iPhone 4. Amazingly you can shoot video with the HD rear faced camera and then flip the device over and edit the movie right on screen, of course all laid out on the beautiful Retina display.

FACETIME ON iPOD

Believe it or not, Apple has done it again and figured out how to squeeze another front facing camera into the thinner new iPod case and jam a microphone on the bottom. Bam! Facetime on your new iPod touch with a retina screen, why even bother with an iPhone? And of course iPhone and iPod users will be able to talk\video conference with each other via Apple’s new Facetime! So what else..
The new iPod’s with retina touchscreens will also ship with iOS 4.1, which is going to include Game Center, which is yet another product just released from Apple. ( Game Center is Apple’s new social networking application for game players). The new iPod will also get the awesome three-axis gyroscope, that allows the best game performance and added control on what kind of games can be added to the app store in the future.

CONGRATZ JOK!

and to all topnatchers:)

Dilao sent a letter to CNN: We’re not all like Mendoza

2010-08-24T18:39:00.000+08:00

"He's right. Other country should not look it as a whole, we're not all the same"

Here's a copy of Dilao's letter he posted on CNN iReport:

As you are reading this letter, I bet that you have seen/heard about what happened earlier in our country.

Tourists were hostages of a policeman here, Rolando Mendoza. After a few hours of the horrible crime, some of the victims were dead including the hostage-taker.

I wrote this letter not just to apologize but also to let everyone know that we Filipinos are not all like Mendoza. We are loving and good-hearted people.

For so many years, our country has been standing tall and surpassing every dilemma; be it small or big. Years ago (back when I wasn’t born yet), you have watched us fight for what we think is right. We fought for the democracy of our nation.. The EDSA revolution. But that’s just one out of many.

Second. We Filipinos have been serving other countries for our families and we treat you as our own as well. With all due respect, I thank you all for giving us the trust through the years. For helping us to become what we are now.

The Philippines is more than just a group of islands. We are a nation of strong and remarkable people. A country of beauty and love known to be hospitable and well-valued. I humbly apologize for what happened tonight. No one in this world would want something like that to happen for life should be valued.

I politely ask the attention of the world. Please do not judge and mistreat us just because of what happened tonight. I have been searching the net and found terrible things. Hong Kong advices to avoid travels here, China and HK bans Filipinos and that Philippines is the worst place to go.

I can’t blame you for what you have decided but I hope that you could understand. Our country is now in a sea of problems. And I know for sure that we helped you in a way or another. Let peace and understanding reign this time.

I know that this letter will just be trash but I wish that you would understand. On behalf of the Philippine population.. WE ARE SORRY.

As a song puts it…

And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering. And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind. Stand up for life. STAND UP FOR LOVE

Sincerely yours,

Reigno Jose Dilao

Postcripts To A BloodBath by Eric Po on Tuesday, August 24, 2010

2010-08-24T18:34:00.000+08:00

Mr. Mendoza was already upset even before he saw on television what the policemen did to his brother. The other tourists who remained inside the bus were complaining. Wei Ji Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom. Dao Chi Yu was hungry and the rest were just groaning and whining like they have forgotten that our lives rest in Mr. Mendoza's hands. The hostage taker, as you know him was really nice. He treated us okay and even let the elders and the children leave the bus. He said your policemen treated him unfairly. He was a policeman too and was accused of doing something he had no knowledge of. But your government didn't listen so he used us to get everyone's attention. Things would have never turned for the worst if he didn't see how his family was dragged out of their house and taken into custody. He was watching the news all the time as we huddled around each other behind the bus. He shouted some words in your language then started shooting in the air. A girl about my age started screaming. Mr. Mendoza demanded her to stop but she didn't understand English. God, he had to slash her neck with a knife just to put her to rest. Her boyfriend who tried to hit him was shot in the head. Tension was rising. You can see in his face how scared and confused he was. The bus driver ran away leaving him alone with strangers from a distant land. I can see him walking across the aisle, sometimes pointing his machine gun to one of the tourists. But he tried his best not to hurt us, especially those who really cooperate. I guess its in your nature not to inflict pain on others unless it was necessary. I remember him saying that he will free us before sundown and implored us to forget everything when we return home. But his words don't matter now. The policemen were trying to force their way in, while we all lied down to shield ourselves from bullets. Mister Mendoza blindly shoots at his enemies which I think kept them from rescuing us. I hear sobs under the chairs. Some were even shouting the names of their loved ones even when the air merely eat their words. Kevin Tang tried to escape when the glass door was was shattered, but one shot and he slumped on the floor with blood gushing from his mouth. Heavy rain pitter-pattered on the rooftop. In old Chinese saying, it means an end to a struggle. Finally, somebody was able to open the escape hatch at the back of the bus. Freedom. But I knew Mister Mendoza was still alive. I knew he was just waiting for a chance to strike back at his enemies. So I told those around me not to escape. Let the authorities come for us instead. Then there was gunfire. He was firing at his enemies with a machine gun. Those who were at the escape hatch fled abandoning us once again. It's like a nightmare with no end and to wake up means a certain death. Then somebody from outside the bus threw a canister. It forced out a black smoke that is so painful to the eyes and putrid smelling to the nose. People started screaming. We cannot breathe. Some ran in front of the bus but Mister Mendoza warned them of stray bullets. It was too late. One was hit on the head, the other was hit on the shoulders. Bullets were now flying. Its like the authorities thought we were all dead. Mister Mendoza finally admits his mistake and said sorry to everyone, dead or alive. He then ran towards the front of the bus where he would meet his maker. As he passed by my chair with bullets whistling overhead, I clutched my hand on the velvet curtain and wrapped it around my face. All I could think of was to stay alive - for my child who is waiting for me back in Xinjang. I know I will survive, I will come home. Bang Lu Min Survivor, Quirino Bloodbath

Hong Kong hostages killed in Manila Bus

2010-08-24T10:48:00.001+08:00

"Let's all pray for their souls"

Eight of the hostages were killed in the bloody siege, which ended with several survivors crawling from the bus while emergency crews removed bodies.

A former policeman armed with an assault rifle had seized the bus in an apparent attempt to get his job back.

Hong Kong's government has criticised the handling of the siege.

In all, 22 Hong Kong tourists were taken hostage along with three Filipinos - a driver, a guide and a photographer.

Chinese officials said all eight of the dead were from Hong Kong.

Survivor's questions

One of the survivors, who identified herself only as Mrs Leung, told reporters that her husband had been killed trying to stop the gunman from shooting other passengers.

"I miss him. I actually really wanted to die with him. But I think of my children," she said, according to AFP news agency.

She was critical of the way police handled the situation, saying: "Why was there no-one to help us after so many hours?"

Hong Kong's leader Donald Tsang also criticised the way the siege was dealt with.

"The way it was handled, particularly the outcome, I find is disappointing," he said.

Radio threats

Police Colonel Nelson Yabut told reporters that the gunman, identified as 55-year-old Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza, was killed after he decided to enter a shoot-out with police marksmen.

"On our first assault, Captain Mendoza was sprawled in the middle of the aisle and shot one of our operatives. On our second assault we killed him," said Col Yabut.

TV stations in the Philippines carried live broadcasts of the drama, and the footage showed hostages crawling out of the vehicle by the back door as the siege came to an end.

The gunman had spent almost three decades with Manila's police force, but was sacked earlier this year over claims of extortion.

During the hostage crisis, he posted signs with his demands on the bus' windows - the main one being for the police force to reinstate him.

During early negotiations, nine people were freed from the bus, and the driver fled to safety, leaving 15 hostages on board.

One of the gunman's brothers, also a police officer, was drafted in to help the negotiating team.

But as the police operation moved into full swing, the gunman became agitated and told a local radio station he would kill the remaining hostages.

"I shot two Chinese. I will finish them all if [the police] do not stop," he told the Radio Mindanao Network.

"I can see a lot of Swat [special weapons and tactics police] coming in. I know they will kill me. They should all leave because any time I will do the same here."

Hostage Taker: ROLANDO MENDOZA

> Joined Manila police force in 1981
> Promoted to head of Mobile Police Unit, and became senior inspector in 2005
> Accused of trying to extort money from a chef in 2008
> Dismissed from the police force in January 2010

**************************************************************************

Dramatic end

The BBC's South East Asia correspondent Rachel Harvey says the gunman would have been trained in police tactics, and would have known what to expect - so the police moved very cautiously.

About an hour before the siege ended, a group of officers approached the bus and attempted to board it by barging in the back door.

But they retreated amid the noise of gunfire coming from the bus.

Soon afterwards, TV images showed the body of a man slumped out of the front of the bus.

Later reports claimed it was the body of the gunman, shot by police.

The gunman had boarded the bus at Luneta Park in central Manila, and the hostage drama played out across the eight-lane road inside the park.

Bus driver escapes, claims hostages 'all dead'

2010-08-23T20:01:00.003+08:00

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - The driver of a tourist bus hijacked by a dismissed police officer escaped from the vehicle and claimed that all the hostages on the bus are all dead.

"Patay na lahat (Everyone is dead)," the driver told media before being escorted by police. ABS-CBN could not independently verify his claim

There were at least 15 hostages on board the tourist bus, which was hijacked by hostage-taker Rolando del Rosario Mendoza on Monday.

The driver was earlier reported handcuffed to the wheel before jumping out of the driver's window.

Before his escape, police heard at least 5 to 6 gunshots near the bus. Snipers then shot out the front tires of the bus to stop the bus from moving.

Mendoza's brother, Senior Police Officer 2 Gregorio Mendoza of the Manila Police District Traffic Investigation Unit, was also forcibly handcuffed and taken in by authorities allegedly being an accessory to the crime.

Mendoza tried to resist his apparent arrest after negotiations with his brother, hostage-taker Rolando del Rosario Mendoza, did not go as planned.

"They want to make me an accessory. They said that if something happened, they would get me for it. Gusto nila akong idaan sa likod. Tumakbo lang ako," he told ABS-CBN's TV Patrol minutes before police placed him and other relatives inside a waiting police car.

Mendoza earlier accompanied the 2 hostage negotiators, Superintendent Orlando Yebra Jr. and Chief Inspector Romeo Salvador, in talking to his brother. He earlier said that he had no knowledge of the hostage-taking incident and was only informed of the situation via text.

Mendoza's brother is holding hostage 15 people left on board a tourist bus near the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park in Manila. The armed hostage-taker earlier released 9 hostages but warned that there will be a "scenario" if authorities do not give in to his demands.

The hostage-taker was removed from the police force after 31 years of service due to his involvement in an extortion incident in Manila. He was dismissed from the service following a recommendation from the Office of the Ombudsman.

Mendoza reportedly hijacked the tourist bus to force authorities to fast-track a review of his administrative case. He also wants to be reinstated to the service and all benefits and privileges restored, police said.

His brother said Mendoza is protesting the Ombudsman's decision since the internal affairs service of the Philippine National Police had already ruled that he is innocent of the crime.

2010-07-29T00:42:00.001+08:00

An inspiring yet a very sad love story :( I was crying while i was reading this story. darn! :/ it's really a touching story. thanks to my brother, he was the one who told me about this. And i have found it worth blogging, so here i repost the story for yah ^_^ :) ENJOY READING..

"What can I say about a girl I loved since I was ten..... that I love the way she laughs at me when I commit mistakes, the way she fusses over silly things and even the way she cries over some sad silly late night show? Somehow, I wished I could have told her that I love her but now there's no hope in doing so. For now, it's rather too late- too late for me to do so.

She was my best friend and I have known her since we were small. She knew all my secrets, which reveals my feelings for her, that I love her not only because she's pretty and smart but also the way she laughs at everything and the way she sees life and love.

I could still remember the first time we met; I was five years old then. It was one windy afternoon having no one to play with except for my best friend, Troy. He and his family just moved out to transfer at a neighboring state because his father got promoted. And so I climbed up our tree house, I saw a moving truck coming down the street. I watched it approaching and noticed a family station wagon following it. It stopped in front of the house and out came a family. I was about to glance away when out came the loveliest girl I've seen. She was four years old that time but then even at an early age she was a beauty. She had long curly hair, which reached almost to her waist. She had fair complexion and eyes which could make a man lose his heart into them. I continued to watch her when suddenly she looked up and saw me watching them in the tree house window. I was about to duck when she smiled and waved her hand. I waved back then watched in amazement as I saw her running towards the tree house. So I went to the edge of the ladder and said, "Would you like to come up?" she answered, "May I?" So I help her climb up and when she reached the top she then turned to me and said, "By the way, my name's Sam, what's yours?" I answered, “My name is Christopher but then you can call me Chris." She smiled and said, “Well I like your name. Hey your tree house's neat!" then I replied, “Thanks! Troy and I made this. This used to be our hide out. We used to goof around, play ball and go biking together. He was my best friend and I kind of miss him you know." She smiled and said "I'm here now, we could do things you do with troy and I could be your new best friend too. I never had a boy for a friend before so it could be exciting to have one. I could learn how to play ball and I have my bicycle so we could go biking together. Now how does that sound to you?" I smiled and said, "Well that sounds good enough." Then she held her hand and said, "It's a deal then!" So that's how it started.

So we became best friends and it was kind of strange at first for she was a girl and there are things which I was little bit hesitant to indulge her like catching frogs, swimming in the lake and climbing trees, but then she tried and did everything just to please me. There was even a time when she fell off the bike trying to catch up with me in a race we had and I was the one who bandaged her scraped knee. I could still remember the time when she hit the window of our neighbor when we were playing baseball and it was I who talked to Mr. Chambers and promised to pay for the damage, which meant having to loose a week’s allowance. I remembered the time when I fell off the tree when I tried to rescue a little kitten because Sam was near to tears when she saw the helpless kitten trapped in a branch. I even fought with the tough guy when they teased Sam and made her cry and I ended up having a black eye and a bruised cheek. I remember Sam crying as she placed an ice bag over the damaged eye and later gave it a get-well kiss. I did everything to please her and gave everything her little heart desires.

The lake was our favorite hang out. We had our Saturday swim routine. We would pack food and later eat them under the big oak tree. There was a special branch in which the two of us could sit together and tell each other's dreams. She dreams of being a Ballerina and she knows my dream of becoming a doctor. She never laughs at my dreams and pursuits even if they were quite impossible. It made me like her even more.

As years went by, I noticed that my feelings towards her were slowly changing. Somehow, I thought it was just a simple crush case. But when I started thinking about her at night, dreaming of her and having the feeling of wanting to be with her all the time, I thought it was something different, something that made me feel strange, but then it was exhilarating feeling. It made me feel so alive. Whenever our hands touch, I could feel the tingling sensation in my spine. Once, when we were at the lake having our Saturday swim routine and as I carried her towards the water edge, I had the feeling of not wanting to let go. I just wanted that moment to continue hoping it would never end. I then realized I was slowly falling in love with my best friend.

Many times I tried to deny the feeling for I was scared to imagine what would happen if ever I'd try to tell her how I feel about her. I was scared because she might think that I'm taking advantage of her and our friendship. I was afraid of losing her so I just kept my feeling hidden.

We reached the age of fifteen and I noticed that Sam grew lovelier each day. How my heart aches wherever I see boys glance her way. I want to punch their noses as I watch them talking to her giving compliments, flowers and chocolates. There were times when I watch her at a distance mixed feelings of anger and hurt because it hurts so much to know that there were so many things I wanted to tell her but then I could not do so. There were so many presents which I long to give her but then I could not for she might see me only as a friend. I was also scared of letting her know how I feel about her as much as losing her.

Then one day, I just learned from a friend that she already had a boyfriend. At first, I tried to convince myself that it was just a rumor. Her boyfriend was Mark, a popular senior, who was the heartthrob of the campus. She, being the cheerleader was close to the basketball team which Mark was the captain. When I saw them walking together at the parking lot that afternoon, I watched her with my heart slowly breaking into pieces. I saw her wave at me but I just pretended not to see her for I was scared that she might see in my eyes the pain I'm feeling inside because of seeing her with another guy.

Those days that followed where the saddest days of my life. How my heart aches when I see her walk by me with him at her side. every time we meet in hallways and I see him around her, there's a feeling inside me that makes me want to grab her away from him. How it hurts to see the girl I long possess was now owned by somebody else. That special smile I long for her to cast on me was now casted on him as she passes by me she doesn’t know that I whisper the words "God how I love you."

Then one faithful day they broke up. She came too me that evening crying on my shoulder. They had a big fight and it ended up to their break up. Mixed feelings were scaring me inside. I was happy because she was free and maybe I would have the chance of telling her my true feelings for her but then I was feeling so bad because she is crying her heart out just for him. At that time, I was not quite sure of what I wanted to do.

So we found ourselves doing what we did in old days with our Saturday swim routine, spending time in our tree house. We still enjoyed doing childish pranks for we still are both young at heart.

So many chances I had for me to confess my feelings for her but still I couldn't bring myself to her for I was scared of losing her once more. I once lost her, now I could not bear of losing her again by telling her I love her. So I just kept my feelings even if it was bursting to be expressed from my aching heart.

It was a week from our JS Prom, we were seated at the branch of an oak tree drying ourselves after our afternoon swim when she said, "I was wondering Chris if you would like to be my partner?" It just got out of my wits for it was like a dream I never thought would happen. It took me awhile to answer her, "I thought there are so many boys who would die for you to be their partner?" So she turned away and quietly said, "Well I just thought I would like to spend that night with my best friend." Then she continued in a whisper I could barely hear, "Don't you want to die just like them to be my partner Chris?" I was too stunned to speak for it came close for me to blurt my feelings for her. We we're silent for a while until I finally whispered, "I would be happy to be your partner Sam." The she smiled and suddenly kissed my cheek. I could hardly contain the joy I felt that time. I saw her turned red and bowed her head. Suddenly she stood up and run towards the water saying, "Last one to reach the water treats to sundae fudge!" I ran slowed up so that I would lose which meant having to have her with me for another three hours or more.

Our Prom night came. I bought a new tuxedo and poured almost the entire bottle of perfume. I went to fetch Sam. Sam's mother greeted me and I went to sit in the living room waiting for her to come down. I was talking to her father when I heard her say, "How do I look?" I look up and saw her lovelier than ever in a strapless white dress with her hair flowing around her face. I stood up and opened my mouth but found out I could not find my voice. Then I got her hand shakily fastened the corsage around her wrist and whispered, "To the loveliest girl in the whole world." She then asked, “Is that true?" I nodded and she smiled and I smiled back then I turned to open the door for her.

When we arrived at the gymnasium we hardly recognized our classmates. Gone were the jeans and T-shirts. They were replaced with tuxedos and gowns. Then I held out her hand bowed and said," Would you give me the honor of your first dance?" She laughed and curtseyed. Then I led her to the dance floor.

It was like a dream coming true, a moment of enchantment. I was there dancing with the only girl I ever loved. She was smiling up to me, as we were slowly moving in a smooth gliding motion. I found myself lost as I stared down to her sparkling eyes. The curls of her long hair were like waves enhancing her beautiful face. There were so many things I wanted to tell her that moment. I wanted to tell that she was the most beautiful girl that night. I wanted to tell her that she would always be the beacon of light in my darkness, but what I wanted to tell her the most was that I love her. I drew up all my courage and bent to whisper it in her ear but suddenly the music stopped and the magic was gone. I came close to telling her, but still haven't done it.

We walked towards the table and found ourselves surrounded by friends. I asked her if she wanted a drink, she nodded and so I went to get one. It took me a long time to get one and when I returned to our table, she was gone. I asked her friend, Katie, where she was but she told me that she doesn't know. So I went and search for her.

As I was searching for her, I reached the garden. There I saw two silhouette figures outlined by the moon's silvery light. They were so close to each other. I could never describe the feeling I had when I recognized the white dress Sam was wearing that night. I just turned and left the gymnasium. Since that night, I avoided her. Many times she tried talking to me but I never gave her the chance to do so. I was afraid to hear her say that she loves Mark and not me. I would rather have left in ignorance of her true feelings for me than to hear from those dreaded words and feel my hope crush and my heart break. I didn't return her calls. I would not see her if she comes into our house. In the hallways, as she approaches I would go to another direction. It also hurts to do those things but then I thought that was the best way to forget her. Those months were tormenting but still I kept my pride.

The day of our graduation came. I was planning to take up medicine at a neighboring state and was to move out the next day. As the program ended, she approached me and handed me a rose. As she stared at me. There was something in her eyes I couldn't describe. There was sadness in them and when she smiled it wasn't the same smile she had. I wanted to hug her at that moment, tell her that I love her but then she turned and walked away from me.

So I moved out the next day as I planned. Luckily, I was accepted at the university. I concentrated with my studies but still I think of her at night. I was always wondering if she thinks of me too. I tried hard not to think of her but still I could not stop myself from loving her. Each achievement I have was done for her. I thought that if I will be successful one day, I would be able to tell her that I love her and by that time, I'm worthy of having her.

It was a year after our graduation when I decided to return home and see her again. I thought a year is too much for me not to see her and during the past year I felt like a person lost in the desert and only the sight of her could quench the thirst I have inside. As I got off the plane, I went home directly, desperate to get to her house desperate to see her, to hug her. Then I would tell her that I missed her and that I have loved her for a long time. This time I am determined to let her know my true feelings for her and I could not contain anymore the love I have for her.

I reached their house; I saw her older sister and I approached her. I smiled at her but I noticed she didn't smile back. I was confused for she used to be a cheerful lasy just like my dear Sam. I then asked," Hi Jen! I guess you're surprised why I'm here. Well I just want to visit you and I was also hoping to see Sam. I kind of miss her you know. Ummm.........bby the way have you seen her?" All I saw was sadness in her eyes as she replied quietly "Come follow me."

I was confused with the way she's acting but still I followed her. As we were walking, I was trying to indulge her in a conversation but just answered my questioned briefly. Then I realized that she was leading me to the direction of the lake. It was still the same as I left it, with the same oak tree Sam and I used to climb up. I smiled upon remembering the kiss Sam gave me when I agreed to be her partner. It's been one of the happiest days in my life and I realized that I missed Sam more than I thought. The Jen stopped walking and pointed to the tree. She then whispered, "There's Sam."

I looked at where she was pointing and saw a newly dug tomb with the name of the girl I ever loved. I could not believe at what I saw and desperately tried convincing myself that this is all just a nightmare and I would soon wake up.

I stared at Jenny in disbelief with her eyes searching for explanations and slowly started saying," It has been a week since she died. She died of Leukemia, but even though she was sick, she never stopped thinking about you. It was even your name she uttered before she died. She asked us to bury her here for she always regards this place as a place of LOVE. She said that this is where she had spent the happiest days and that was when she was with you. By the way, she also asked me to give you this." She handed me a parcel and with that she left.

I slowly opened the parcel and saw that it contained the dried orchid from the corsage I gave her for our prom. Then at the bottom I saw a letter. It was dated last month. I opened it with shaking hands and started reading........

******************************

I know by this time you read this letter I'm gone. I just want to tell you that I feel very lucky and thankful to God that I had a friend like you. I would also like you to know that I had left something inside, something I kept from you all these years. I love you Chris, not in a friendly way but as one who would feel like spending the rest of my life with. I have always loved you even from the start. I guess it just bloomed each day that's why the happiest days of my life was when you were by my side. You just don't know how I dreamed of you at night and wake up in the morning and dream no more for you are with me. When you are away, I can't stop crying because I'm afraid to think that you are with another girl. I just can't bear to see you with another girl. I just want you all to myself. I may sound selfish but that's how I feel. Each time you held me close to you was like a dream coming true for to be close to you and feel your heart beating next to mine was heaven. So many things I did so that you will learn to love me but I NEVER saw a hint. I did everything to please you because I love you so much that I even tried to full myself that you're in love with me too. So many nights I've cried when I think of myself unloved by you. Well you might think that what I'm saying are lies but, I tell you, my heart speaks the truth for I cannot bear telling a lie to the one I love.

I know you might be thinking of Mark but I just did that to make you jealous, to make you see me as a young woman, capable of loving and not as the little girl you used to play with. Sometimes I imagined that you were jealous and fooled myself that it was a sign that you feel something for me too. When Mark and I broke up and I came crying, I just did that to know how you would react and with that I'll know that you love me too. But I failed for you didn't give me any clue. When our prom night came, you just don't know how happy I was when you handed me the corsage and saying that I was the loveliest girl in the whole world. While we were dancing, I wanted so desperately to hear you say that you love me too but you NEVER did. When Mark came and pleaded me to give him a second chance, I was scared that you might see us talking. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression so I told him we would talk in the garden. There I explained to him that it's you whom I really love. What happened next was that I found you missing and later learned that you were searching for me, I just concluded that you saw us together. The next day, I tried to explain but then you never gave me a chance to do so. You continuously avoided me and never knew how much pain I've experienced that time. I felt the world crushing on me. In our Graduation day, when I approached you, I wanted to tell you how much I love you but I decided that I just couldn't do it. I could not bear to hear that all you feel for me is just brotherly hand of love. For I want you to love me as a woman and not as a girl or playmate. So I just turned away and left.

Now that saying I LOVE YOU might be too late, still I want you to know that I will always love you and my heart has always been and will be yours alone.

P.S.
Think of me sometimes.... and always remember that loving you was the best thing that ever happened in my life.
************************************

I felt my tears falling as I folded the letter. I wanted to shout out to let her know that I love her, if not as much, but more than she did for me. I love her more than anything in this world. I knelt touching the soil of her grave and rain started to fall. I continued crying softly and whispered, "Oh God, send my love to heaven."

What Haircut suits you best?

2010-07-05T15:27:00.001+08:00

We all know hair is one of the glamorous things we owned yet it also need to be cared of. Starting of, washing and taking care of it, and Most importantly everyone's favorite THE HAIRSTYLE. But how would you know that kind of haircut suits you? Now, im giving you some tips on how you choose haircut that would suit your face shape.

CHOOSE your shape now:

Finding out what face shape you have can be confusing.

There are 6 Basic face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, rectangular and diamond. Depending on the shape of your face you can determine what haircuts are suited to enhance your features and what styles to avoid.

Here are the ways that can help you measure and determine the shape of your face and know how to pick hairstyles that will suit you best.

using a measuring tape or a ruler measure across the top of your cheekbones and write the number on a piece of paper.
measure your jaw line from where it starts to where it ends.
measure your forehead from the middle of your hairline and brows.
measure the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin.

OVAL

The length will be equal to 1 Â½ times the width.
Oval face shapes have well-proportioned and balanced features - a narrow forehead, wide cheekbones and a small chin - and suit any hairstyle, long or short, straight or curly.

OBLONG/LONG

The width of the forehead is about the same as just below the cheekbones. The face is long and sometimes the forehead is very high.
Long faces suit most styles but they should all have volume to prevent the face from being dragged down. Full bangs can also work well.

ROUND

The face has the widest point at the cheeks and ears. The face is clearly rounded around the chin and hairline.
If you have full cheeks, the wrong haircut can make your face look chubby.
Try cropped styles to give your face more definition or get bangs swept to the side. You could also go for feathered or layered hairstyles.

SQUARE

The shape in which the jaw line and the hairline are square.
A broad forehead and a strong jawline usually dominate, so go for long whispy layers or soft waves to slim down the wide areas and balance your face.

HEART

Similar to oval, but this face shape's bone structure narrows and has a chin that's defined and pointed. Avoid bangs and balance small jaw lines with styles that are fuller at the ends to widen the chin and jawbone.

TRIANGULAR

The face that has a dominant jaw line that narrows towards the cheekbones and temples - reverse of the heart shape. You need hairstyles that balance out your prominent jaw.
Lots of layers will help to achieve fullness through the upper part of your face. Hairstyles with volume at the crown, off center parts, wedges and shags look great on you.

DIAMOND

The face that has equal width around the jaw line and forehead, and wide cheekbones. The diamond is a cross between the heart and the oval.
You can easily experiment with a variety of hairstyles - almost anything works for you. Bangs can work to shorten the faces and soften the pointed forehead. Tuck your hair behind the ears to show off your wonderful bone structure.

PBB's James Reid defends self against critics

MANILA, Philippines - Teen-ternational housemate James Reid defended himself against critics who believe he does not deserve to be the grand winner of "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010" because he is not a pure Filipino.
In an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Reid, tagged as The Dashing Dude from Australia, said he has proven his worth inside the country's most popular house, as did his fellow housemates.
"Yeah I went through a lot in the Pinoy Big Brother's house. The people who voted for me said I was deserving of the title and Big Brother helped me to believe that I'm deserving of the big title," Reid said.
Reid who hails from Sydney, Australia said he respects people's opinion especially that of the minority who are against him.
"Everyone has his own opinion but give me a chance to prove myself and to show that I can be a true Filipino," he said.
Reid added he may not be a pure Filipino by blood, but stressed he is a Filipino at heart.
"I have the morals, the values. I'm learning the culture, the language. I will be learning definitely," Reid said.
The 16-year-old grand winner bared he will be staying in the country for maybe a year and a half to try showbiz.
Asked if he already has a crush in showbiz whom he wants to work with, Reid replied: "Yeng Constantino."
Reid, a dual citizen, was proclaimed last Sunday the Teen Big Winner of "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010" at the grand finals dubbed "Unite at the Big Night" at the Yñares Sports Center in Rizal. He got 19.75 percent of the total votes. Reid was followed by Ryan Bang (18.7%), Fretzie Bercede (15.99%), Devon Seron (15.74%), Ivan Dorschner (15.14%), and Bret Jackson (14.68%) in one of the closest races ever in PBB history. Reid almost got evicted in the weeks leading to the finals due to a medical condition.
As grand winner, Reid won P1 million cash, a condo unit worth P3 million, a water-refilling franchise worth P1.5 million, an Asian trip for two, a 46-inch LCD television and a laptop.
'PBB Clash of 2010' The whole country witnessed many firsts in this season's PBB. For the first time, there were teen housemates from other countries, and six, not four, housemates qualified for the Big Night finals. The competition began with housemates living in two houses, the Villa and the Apartment. The Villa housed the teens who lead simple lives, while the Apartment was home to the teens who are used to living in comfort. After a few clashes, all housemates were made to live in the Villa and compete with everyone. Teen Big Winner Reid showed strength of character during his stay inside the house as he did his best to get better despite his poor health to be able to contribute to the tasks.
He will also be remembered for being the knight in shining armor of Tricia when most housemates chose not to go to her birthday party, and for his being vocal about his love for his father. After the hit reality show "Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010" ABS-CBN also announced it will offer its newest reality show "The Biggest Loser, the Pinoy Edition" on Philippine TV.
Teen six to enter showbiz? After “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010”, expect to see more of Jackson, Dorschner, Seron, Bercede, Bang, and Reid as they enter a new chapter in their lives. Jackson, known for his singing and writing skills, will soon become a Myx VJ. “It's my dream job," the Indie Singer of USA said. He also wants to do an album with his band in Dumaguete. Dorschner, meanwhile, has the potential to have a showbiz career, which is why he is preparing very hard for it. "I'd like to learn to speak more Tagalog. Also, I'd like to learn how to play the guitar," he said. Bercede, on the other hand, wants to ask her parents’ permission first while Bang wants to finish his studies. “That's what I'm in the Philippines for," he said. Seron, on her part, revealed she would like to be in any ABS-CBN show, if given a chance. Big Winner Reid said he is open to explore the opportunities that have opened up for him. "Bret and I want to make an album of our original compositions," he said. All of them are thankful for the support of everyone who laughed, cried, got nervous, got mad, or fell in love with the Filipino teens and the Filipino teens-at-heart during “Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010.”
