2012-01-27T11:35:00.001+08:00

This movie was released around 1998, but I came across it just last year. Pretty late huh! How I love watching this movie again and again. Best fairytale movie of all time. But I wish it featured: 1. the ball dance between the prince and Danielle before the wicked stepmother cut in. 2. and of course, the wedding!

This GMA 7 Korean telenovela is quiet captivating. The king's character and impish sense of humor carries this show. While the storyline is the usual slave or ordinary woman catapulted to greatness by the love of a powerful man or royalty, the show is still worth missing some sleeping hours.

Who says we need money to be kind or be charitable? When people are dying from hunger, living in the streets and forced to commit crimes to survive...how can she afford to waste it? It's her money alright. Lots of it courtesy of Tiger Woods. If she doesn't need the money, she can try giving it to people who desperately need it.

Is one scandal not enough? From Katrina Halili, to Rhian Ramos, and now Janelle Manahan. Why do people upload it for worldwide access? Can't people restrain themselves from prying into other people's privacy? Why should lovemaking be recorded in the first place? If they did it for fun (young people nowadays have a peculiar way of having fun), can't they have the good sense to delete

Kids can contribute significantly in different environmental advocacy in simple ways: 1. School canteens should avoid selling junk foods. 2. School authorities should mobilize school children in waste segregation and recycling. Imagine the volume of trash produced daily during recess or snack time. Children should be trained to develop environment-friendly habits.

It's raining and children are running towards me, with palms extended saying, "Ma'am Pasko" (Ma'am, Christmas)... Gone is the "Merry" in Christmas.

Where have these children gone? Because the streets

Every time kids get near each other, there will be howling and shouting. The cause of conflict is as mundane as their immaturity. First rule of thumb, ask.

The wedding of this third time bride and her new husband draws mixed reaction from all over the world.

News Programming

You wake up and thank the Lord for the gift of life and pray for the good things. Then you switch on your television for the morning news and you see/hear about: accidents, murder, robbery, rape. These kind of news burdens further the lives of ordinary people struggling to make their lives better each day. Isolated crimes should not be bannered.

Kids seldom eat fruits and vegetables. How to make them eat these necessary food, had been my dilemma. I got my clue from children's usual request for mango shake.

Prince William's wedding brings nostalgic memories of his mother - the late Princess Diana. Is it not sad for him to exchange marriage vows in the very Church were his mother was laid to rest?

Since her marriage to Prince William, the former Kate Middleton and now Duchess Catherine of Cambridge had become a style icon on her own right. Whatever she wears becomes a fashion trend.

Prince Harry, is NOT a Hewitt

2011-06-29T07:46:00.005+08:00

I am still on the royal mode and am intrigued on the persistent talk on Prince Harry being a Hewitt and not a Windsor, based primarily on three factors: Princess Diana's relatioship with James Hewitt, the hypnotized interview of the latter and the striking similarities in looks between Prince Harry and James Hewitt. It is not easy to grow up a celebrity and for people continuously doubting one's

The Essence of Child Discipline

2011-05-15T16:02:00.002+08:00

Societal degeneration is caused primarily by lack of parental discipline. Nowadays, more and more parents are afraid to discipline their children for fear of alienating their affections. Also, today's trend of opting for parenting styles that's a notch too democratic and liberal is producing disrespectful children with irresponsible independence. Parents and children could never be equal.
