Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, it is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
Lover never fails
(Corinthians 13:4-8)
Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, outstanding in his outing as an Overseas Filipino Worker who finally went home to his disoriented kids, won as Best Actor for “Katas ng Saudi” while Lorna Tolentino, widow of the late president of the Katipunan ng mga Artista ng Pelikulang Pilipino Rudy Fernandez, bagged the Best Actress trophy for her performance as an understanding wife of an OFW in “Katas ng Saudi.”
Extolling the values of a father who sweats hard overseas to send his children to school and buy them luxuries in life to keep up with society’s social-climbing, Famas recognized Maverick Films’ “Katas ng Saudi” as the excellent picture shown in 2007.
Although its director Jose Javier Reyes failed to clinch the best director plum which instead went to “A Love Story” helmer Maryo J. de los Reyes, the overall sentiment was written all over the primary awards.
The Best Supporting Actor was an eclectic choice, Mon Confiado in director Eddie Romero’s digital film “Faces of Love.”
Irma Adlawan brought home the Best Supporting award for her arresting portrayal of a mother blinded by cash from her wayward son who met a tragic fate in Artiste Entertainment’s “Ataul for Rent.”
The foster child in Brillante Mendoza’s foray into adoption, Kier Segundo, won as Best Child Actor for Seiko Films’ “Foster Child” while Ella Cruz, one of Becky Aguila’s stable of young stars, was named Best Child Actress for Imus Productions’ “Resiklo.”
Best Story went to Neal “Buboy” Tan and Anthony Guidang for Artiste’s Entertainment “Ataul for Rent” while Tan, who won his first award since started writing screenplays and directing, took home the Best Screenplay for the same movie.
Best Cinematography went to Ramoncito Redoble for “Batanes” and Best Editing was won by Tara Illenberger for “A Love Story”. Best Music Score went to Jesse Lucas for “A Love Story” and “Sine-Sine,” the overall music of “Confessional” bagged the Best Theme Song.
Best Art Direction went to Rodell Cruz for his work in “Resiklo” while the Best Production Design was also given to him for the same film.
Best Sound went to Albert Idioma for “A Love Story” while the Best Visual Effects and Best Special Effects were won by Ignite Media/Riot, Inc. for “Resiklo.”
Famas also has its own Special Awards to boot such as the Presidential Award given to Boots Anson Roa; Lifetime Achievement Award bestowed on Paraluman; FPJ Memorial Award given to Cesar Montano; Flavio Macaso Award, the main organizer of Famas, awarded to Wilberto Villamin; Dr. Jose R. Perez Memorial Award handed to Chit Ramos; Golden Artist Award given to Ogie Alcasid; German Moreno Achievement Award (for Female) awarded to Marian Rivera and (Male) to Ryan Agoncillo.Despite the cloudy forecast, career experts say you can create your own silver lining, one that protects your income and your career.
1. Invest in your education. Pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree, or perhaps week-long classes or certifications, will boost your skills and make you a more precious commodity in the workplace, says Jennifer Loftus, national director of Astron Solutions, a compensation consulting firm in New York. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Education, in 2006 young adults with a bachelor's degree earned 28 percent more than those with an associate's degree, 50 percent more than those who finished high school, and 98 percent more than those who didn't earn a high-school diploma.
2. Shift to an industry that needs workers. Health care is one such industry, notes Loftus. Nursing, one of the fastest-growing careers, is expected to see a shortage of more than 1 million workers by 2020, according to the Health Resources and Services Administration. The median salary for a registered nurse with one to four years of experience is $48,895, PayScale data shows.
3. Document your accomplishments. Whenever you finish an assignment, note how your work helped the company make money, save money, save time, grow the business, or retain customers, and illustrate your accomplishments with dollars, percentages, and other metrics, says Barbara Safani, president of New York-based Career Solvers. "By showing and quantifying your specific value add, you build a better business case to support the requested salary increase," Safani says.
4. Tackle tasks no one else wants. This isn't about grunt work, Safani says; it could mean mastering a new technology others aren't comfortable with, or accepting an assignment outside the traditional scope of your job. "Employees who demonstrate this level of flexibility tend to get more flexibility from their bosses on other issues, including compensation," she explains.
5. Accept high-profile assignments close to review time. This sort of project will likely be a focal point of your performance review, and because it's recent, your boss can quickly recall and document achievements relevant to the project, Safani says.
You Are Having an Orange Day |
 Right now, how your day is going can change on a dime. It's been both frustrating and fun so far. You're used to making the best of days, and today is no different. You are seeking out comfort and security wherever you can find it today. Your little “pick me up” could be anything... a phone call to a friend or your favorite dessert. |
Have you watch TV patrol this evening? If not..poor Kitkat went to the police to report that her live-in partner get her 1 million pesos and other things. They live together for 6 years and she never thought that her live-in partner will do these bad things to her. She gives an authorization to that person to withdraw her money in the bank because she trust him fully. Kitkat did not expect these things will happen to her. Kitkat works hard for that big money. It’s a lesson for her that she must not trust all her money to a certain person even if you love him. Money is the root of all evil, right?
I’m happy today because I hear God’s word in our evening service. My soul is not hungry with the word of God.

..so busy this past few days because I have pending assignments that needed to be done. My brain is empty and so what I do I listen to the music of my favorite local band M.Y.M.P. Then, after that I go back to my online job. I don’t feel writing now but I have no choice I have to do some due assignments or else I have no money. There are so many things happen to me this week. Last Sunday we went to the funeral service of my grandma, the sister of my mom’s mom. She is 83 years and so he has enough years living in this world. So sad but God has a purpose of why this things happen to us.
This is true Life is too short. We must repent of our sins to God and ask Him to be our personal savior. Ask God to guide our path and help us to live life to the fullest. We must learn to forgive others who have sins against us like our Almighty God did to us. We are just human and so let’s apply forgiveness in our hearts. We must love truly so that they will love us sincerely. These things I learned from being a child of God. I hope you the same.
It’s Thursday and yet I’m tired and bored staying at home for 1 week. I want to go to downtown but will I do there? Nothing to do but will have window shopping and will sometimes be tempted to buy unnecessary things. My goal is to save more bucks for my daughter’s school next year. It’s kinda 4 digits right now but want it to be 5 or more digits. Now, I must keep my feet of going to shopping malls so that I can save more. But I am planning to go to the grocery tomorrow for food shopping because my ref is empty. LOL!:)
I better go to bed because it’s too late. And so..
What is this?
I’m so happy tonight because I have the chance to attend our Wednesday Prayer Meeting. It was 2 Wednesday that I never attend though it’s my time to go to church because one my tutees is absent that day. But there are so many hindrances, the weather for it always rain then the second was my bro is sick for that day. He needs us. Now, I have not encountered any encumbrance so it’s God’s will and I let it be. My soul was hungry with the word of God and now it’s full. Thank you Lord.:)
Hubby made a new template and design for my new blog entitles Mom’s Blog Chores. I like the result and so very feminine.

Last Saturday, I and hubby went to SM for shopping galore. They are having KADAYAWAN sale that has big discounts that tempts us to buy branded stuff. Then, surprisingly I saw John Lloyd in personal. I’m not lucky to take some photos of him due to I left my digi cam at home. He is so handsome, tall and has flawless skin. I had fun that day because at last I got a chance to see him. That was my memorable day ever. LOL!

Today is a fretful day for us because our daughter Kyla is shivering in an early morning. After that she gets sick, has high temp of about 38 degrees to 39 degrees. I give her a paracetamol then after a few hours her temp lowered. Gosh! I eat my breakfast for almost 10 in the morning because I can’t leave her. I’m afraid that she will have seizure. I don’t want her to admit in a hospital because I pity on her when they put dextrose. It took many hours to put it because it so hard to find her veins due to she is a child. Oh no! I don’t want it to happen again. I pray to God and I’m so happy that God answered our prayer. Kyla is fine now. She can play and very energetic.

Last Friday I and Lani stroll at CHIMES to see their discounted branded stuff that suits our budget. So sad we haven’t found one because we don’t like the items. Usually, you look for branded stuff because it has unique design and good quality. But we see in there is that they sale all their old stock and out of trend. I will not buy that thing because I am wasting my money for that stuff. Then, we decided to go to Gmall to see what’s in there. Again, we never found anything though there are a lot of sales but not our type. In short, we went home nothing even a toy for our kids. But I am happy because I got a time to bond and chit chat with my buddy Lani.
This morning since 10, I am out of my desk to pay our bills. I want to see my friend Lani because I missed her and that I always promise her that I will visit her in her office. I texted her by past 11 and I’m glad she replied. We eat at Penongs, it’s my treat. I love their barbeque chicken! I’m craving for it since last week. So sad we haven’t grabbed their unlimited rice due to we are full already. We chit chat so many things. She gave me a present it’s a sleeveless top and tokong set. Gee! I like it so much because I can wear it at night. Thanks Lani for that wonderful gift.
This is the day!
It’s our 9 years Anniversary today. I count the day we officially declared that we are lover. It’s August 13, 1999, it’s Friday the 13th. But we never mind the said date because number 13 is lucky to us.
We became lovers for 4 years and get married last 2003 and until now we get stronger even trials come along our way. We manage to hold like settling immediately our differences.
God is the center of our relationship that is why we never give up of everything because we know God is with us no matter what.
Happy Anniversary my love, my husband Mac. I love you eternally. Mwah!

I’m bored today so what I do is resize my photos last summer to put in my friendster account later. I saw this photo of mine that I like. LOL! This photo taken last May when we are in Fernandez Resort in Samal, sis in law celebrate her 18th birthday there together with her few friends and us her family. We had an overnight stay there and it was fun but I am sad because Kyla was left in my mom’s house. But this August we will have our anniversary celebration there together with my daughter Kyla. Our day is not complete without Kyla, she is our little angel. She makes us smile everyday. Ang kulit kasi..hehe..:)
You Live in the Present |
 You take things one day at a time. And it turns out, that's a pretty great way to live. You aren't consumed by the past, and you're aren't obsessed with the future. You live in the now, and you enjoy each moment. While most people don't live in the present enough, make sure you don't live in it too much. It would be a mistake to forget your past or neglect to plan for the future. |
Last Saturday I and Kyla went home just nearby in my mom’s house. I missed our bedroom because we stayed in my mom’s house for almost 3 weeks due to Kyla is sick and my hubby’s brother has German measles which is contagious. We are afraid that Kyla can get it because kids can easily get sick. Hubby wants us to go home but he agreed on us to just stay here for a while to prevent such contagious diseases. Gosh! I don’t want my daughter to get sick for she cannot control her temperature and may lead to seizure.
I’m sick for two days until now. I have running nose and headaches that makes me feel sick. Maybe because I need some rest and will be off from my online job for awhile. The weather is not good here in the
It’s Monday!
Today is Sunday. It’s Lord Day. Well, of course we went to church this morning. I want to hear God’s word but I need to accompany my daughter in her Sunday school. I hope she will be independent so that I can be able to hear God’s word every Sunday because I feel empty. That is why I make sure that I go to church every Wednesday our prayer meeting to hear God’s word. I hope and pray that the weather is good and that it will not rain.
What Your Handwriting Says About You |
 You are a laid back person with rather low energy. You aren't lazy... you *are* sensitive and empathetic. You are very extroverted and outgoing. You are loving, friendly, and supportive. However, you are also manipulative and controlling at times. You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others. You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well. You are conservative, old fashioned, and a little stubborn. You are resistant to change. You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous. |
Well, as usual I’m bored and my brain is empty. I don’t know what to post here now. What I do is go to blogthings.com and answer some questions then copy and paste it here. That’s a great idea huh..in order to post something here. LOL! I’m crazy and lazy today.

Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza was crowned Miss Universe 2008 at the Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang, Vietnam, Monday. The 22-year-old Miss Venezuela edged a fellow Latina, Miss Colombia Taliana Vargas, who won 1st runner-up.
The second, third and fourth runners-up were Miss Dominican Republic, Miss Russia and Miss Mexico, respectively.
"Actually, God made men and women different. But the big difference between women and men--it doesn't matter what kind of life they live--is that men think that the faster way to go to a point is to go straight. Women, no. The faster way to go to a point is to go through curves and fixing every curve," Miss Venezuela answered international judge Louis Lacari.
Before the special announcement, Miss Venezuela, who is into interior design and learning new languages, was among the crowd favorites.
She wore a beautiful yellow night gown when given the 18K white and yellow gold crown, which was valued at $120,000. She is the 57th Miss Universe.
The crown was given to her by Miss Universe 2007 Riyo Mori of Japan.
Earlier, the Miss Congeniality category was awarded to Rebeca Moreno of El Salvador and the Best National Costume award was handed to Miss Thailand Gavintra Photijak.
