ANNIVERSARIES
Always celebrate! Whether it's the 1st or the 50th, each year together is a triumph.
APPRECIATION
Let each other know how much you appreciate each other. You may already know but hearing it from each other is always better.
BEST FRIENDS
Be best friends preferably before being boyfriend-girlfriend. Take time to know each other so the relationship will be a deep one. Tell each other about your crushes, dreams and problems. Make sure he/she is your best friend before getting engaged. The strong bond of friendship will help you both survive tough times.
BOND
Make it a point to spend time together often but leave room for each other. Also spend time alone w/ each other, so that at the end of the day you could both share your experiences. This way, you stay interesting with your partner.
CHANGING EACH OTHER
Don't marry (or comit to) an asshole, a jerk or a bitch. You'll never change each other.
COMPLIMENTS
Always compliment each other. This will prevent feelings of resentment & thinking that one is being taken for granted.
DATE
Keep doings things that you both enjoy, do them together. Make time & continue to date to keep the romance - look good, smell good to maintain physical attraction.
DIFFERENCES
Celebrate differences. Never force your ideologies down each other's throat. Give up trying to turn your partner into you. Accept differences, appreciate them.
FIGHTS
Fight w/the aim to resolve the issue. Don't outdo each other. The longer you extend the fight. The more chances that you'll say something hurtful that you don't really mean. As mad as you were w/ your partner, he/she is still the person who laughs at your jokes & thinks you're hot. Hear each other out, don't dig up old issues. Choose your battles. Make sure the fight will be worth it & that something will change in the relationship as a result of the fight.
FLAWS
Know that the perfect person does not exist. Know that just as there are things that you love about him/her, there will be things that will make you go crazy. We are only human with our own flaws.
FUN
Have fun together! This means keeping the fun & spontaneity that was there in the early days. Allow yourselves to get silly - shower together, pee w/the door open etc. Being able to make each other laugh & see the lighter, crazier, absurd side is the best way to get through all the differences in personalities, adjustments in lifestyle & opposing viewpoints.
GOALS
Make sure you have similar goals. It would be difficult to keep your bond intact if your views are complete opposite.
GRUDGES
Quit tabulating grudges. Let it off. Discuss it, then trash it, don't recycle it.
KEEPING IT HOT
Keep it hot by traveling to diff. places together. A new setting will do wonders. Always have skin contact - be it holding hands, a massage or just plain leg rubbing.
HONESTY
Don't lie or hide things. The problem will only get bigger.
KNOW EACH OTHER
Learn each other's interest. It really keeps the conversation flowing!
HUG
A hug can be far better more intimate than a kiss.
IDENTITY
Don't lose your personality - that's why he/she fell in love w/you. Have separate interest & activities to keep your individual, & to be able to contribute more to the relationship.
INDEPENDENCE
Having your own income means you're the boss in your life.
INTENTIONS
Wish each other well. Don't wish each other worst
ISSUES
Speak up about the awkward stuff now,like money & sex. The earlier, the better.
LISTEN
Listen, listen, listen. Hear each other out especially during arguments.
LOOK GOOD
Mind your appearance! Stay fit & healthy for each other.
LOVE
It all boils down to your love, chemistry & respect for each other.
MEMORIES
Remind each other of the old days. Do something that you used to do for each other before. It may even be corny but it made you two together. Experience new things together- from dining into a new resto to experiencing street food together to exploring to new places. It's the little surprises that make great memories.
MIND READING
No matter how long you've been together, do not think that you can read each other's mind.
NEEDS
Be good to yourself,then be good to your partner. That's what love is all about. Think about your partner. Will it make him/her happy? Will she/he enjoy it? Consider each other's feelings. Be very attentive & sensitive to each other's needs, physically & emotionally, that way your partner learns to do the same for you. Never take your partner for granted.
PRIORITIES
If one says it's important, then it is! Prioritize each other among other things!
SPACE
Give each other space. Have dates with your girlfriends, have your boy's night out. If you can't trust each other with this, then don't get married.
SORRY
Say sorry when you're wrong.
SURPRISES
No matter how long you've known each other, be open to surprises, both good or bad.
TEAMWORK
Think for two & always work as a team. Consult each other before making a decision because everything will always affect both of you. Strengthen couple power. In many ways, we have to decide based on what is best for the relationship in favor of our individual selves.
SUPPORT
Support each other's dream. Be willing to follow your passions, support your partner in his/her decisions & create new ones together. Two heads are better than one.
TALK
Tell each other's stories. Life goes by so fast & its easy to seehow easily couple can grow apart. Whenever something funny, scary, exciting or juicy happened to you or to someone you know, tell each other about it & have your partner do the same. Keep each other in the loop of life, even by email if you have to. Communication is the main ingredient in successful long relationships. Share your feelings w/o judgments or criticism, active listening, then working up to a discussion for problem solving. It takes continuous effort & learning.

The UST Growling Tigers captured the UAAP Men's Basketball Championship by showing courage in the face of adversity. It was a sweet victory as the Tigers ended a 10 year drought.
At the start of the basketball season, nobody gave the Tigers a second look. The so-called analyst and experts said that UST would just be lucky enough to make it to the semifinal round. By winning the championship, the UST Tigers silenced all critics.
The Tigers have shown that victories are for those who believe in themselves.----------------------------------------------------------
It was a championship that was as glorious as it was unbelievable.
Performing one more miracle in their dream season, the scrappy University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers captured the UAAP men's basketball title following a classic 76-74 overtime triumph over the top-ranked Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles at the packed Araneta Coliseum. Pido Jarencio gets the last laugh...
GO TIGERS!!! GET THAT BIRD!!!
Go USTe! Go USTe! Go USTe!
Go! Go! Go! Go!

Isang taon na suspensiyon sa kabuuang palaro ang iginawad na parusa sa DLSU (De La Salle University) ng UAAP (University Atheletic Association of the Philippines). Kaalinsabay nito ang iba't ibang kuru-kuro ukol sa epekto ng pagkawala ng naturang unibersidad sa palaro.
Sa pagkawala ng DLSU, tila isinabay ng Globe Telecommunciations ang kanilang pagboboykot ng kanilang produkto sa laro. Pinamumunuan ang Globe ni Gerry Ablaza, produktong DLSU. Kasabay na hindi makita sa mga palaruan at sa telebisyon ang mga patalastas ng mga produkto ng Nestle.
Pinangangambahan pa na baka pati ang Cheer Dance competition, na naging institusyon dahilan sa pag-eendorso ng Nestle Non-stop, ay mawala rin sa taong ito. Bagay na pinabulaanan naman ng ABS-CBN, ang pangkalahatang nag-eere ng laro ng liga (partikular sa basketball), na sinabing "ibinebenta pa rin ang cheer dance competition."
May pagtaya rin ang naturang television network na mababawasan ang kanilang revenues dahilan ng pagpulas ng mga kumpanya ng kanilang mga patalastas sa laro.
Tila isa ang ekwasyon. Kawalan ng patalastas, kawalan ng revenues. At marami ang nagsasabing ang kawalang ito ay nakakaapekto sa kabuuang pagpapatakbo ng liga.
Napilitang maglunsad ng laro sa mas maliit na palaruan (sa Ninoy Aquino at Rizal Stadium) kumpara sa mas malaki at mas prestihiyosong Araneta Coliseum. Bukod sa ere na maaaring ibigay ng Araneta, kasabay na rin sana nito ang mas ligtas bukod sa mas maganda at mas maraming manonood na puwedeng i-accommodate ng nasabing lugar.
At kung pag-uusapan naman ang manonood, tila halos kalahati lamang ang dumalo sa pagbubukas ng palaro sa Araneta. Maaaring hudyat ito ng pagbaba ng mga nagbabayad na manonood, dagdag na revenue na rin sana para sa pagpapatakbo ng liga.
Maaaring pabulaanan ng University of the East o ng ABS CBN ang estadistika ng turn-out ng maaaring manood sa haba ng torneo, ngunit lalabas ang katotohanan na ang pagkawala ng DLSU ay pagkawala rin ng labingapat na laro. Hindi pa kasama sa maaaring patok sa takilyahan ng liga ang pagkawala rin ng rivalry ng Ateneo at DLSU, na sa tuwing magkakaharap ay napupuno ang palaruan ng manonood.
Tila lumalabas na pera-pera ang nagiging pamantayan ng paghinuha ng pagkawala ng DLSU sa torneo, imbes na pagnilayan kung bakit nga ba sila nabigyan ng suspensiyon sa liga. Lantad sa mga reaksiyon ng mga fans ng liga, iniikot nila ang kanilang mata sa pagtingin sa kawalan ng kita ng liga, at ginagawa nilang pamantayan ang pagkawala ng malalaking sponsors.
Bukod pa sa ilang mga produktong gamit-pampalakasan (tulad ng Gatorade at mga tatak ng sports equipment), hindi naman direkta ang impact ng produktong tulad ng telecommunication o ng sorbetes sa pagpapaunlad ng palaro. Isang pagpapayabong lamang ng kanilang marketing arm ang pinapausad nila sa bawat banner o bawat flash sa telebisyon ang kanilang habol sa liga.
Pinaiikot ng nagpapanatili ng kaisipang kailangan ng liga ang mga patalastas at sponsors ang diskursong para rin daw sa liga ang makokolektang revenue. Ngunit, sa katunayan, cash cow lamang ang UAAP, isang pagpapanatili ng konsumerismo. At kung tunay na sa palaro nga lang iikot ang kanilang diskurso, tila pinaikot nila ang kanilang retorika galamay ng DLSU, at siyempre sa lakas ng pagbili ng mag-aaral nito kumpara sa iba pang pamantasan liban sa Ateneo. Sa huli, tila hindi nila batid na nagpupunyagi pa rin ang pito pang pamantasang nanatili upang ipagpatuloy ang palaro para sa mag-aaral ng kanilang mga paaralan.
Maaari nga namang totoo na hindi iikot, at hindi uusad ang torneo kung walang malalaking sponsor na magbubuhat ng pinansiyal na kapasidad ng liga. Ngunit papasok sa gitna ng liga, tila pinatutunayan ng UAAP na hindi pagbebenta ng sarili nitong reputasyon at prestihiyoso ang solusyon sa krisis na dinadala nito sa kasalukuyang taon, kundi ang patuloy na paggampan nito na iusad ang palaro, mawala man kahit pansamantala ang isang DLSU.

How ironic Life can be.
As students, we spend about 15 years in school trying to suit a system, which eventually when we graduate, becomes totally obsolete. Then we enter the workforce (most of us do) and spend the rest of your lives following another system.
Is it worth it? Perhaps systems are there to guide us. But to a certain point, these so called guidelines become our limitations.

Persuasive statements as such can be seen everywhere, especially on advertisements. They seem too good to be true, a golden opportunity right before your eyes. Not that I'm being skeptical or anything, but would someone plaster THEIR advertisement in front of you claiming that it's YOUR benefit?

Sometimes we really get caught up doing things totally insignificant to our Lives. Without specific goals and a true purpose in Life, what's the purpose behind whatever we're doing? Most importantly, what is the purpose of our Lives?
When we're not focused or unmotivated towards our goals, all other irrelevant things start to seem more important than what we're actually doing. This is called procrastination. However, at the end of the day, it is still what we've always been after that's important, i.e. studying hard.
Most of us need what is known as an Awakening.
An awakening is a sudden realization, a drastic change in your reality. When suddenly, we get this sudden motivation to get ourselves out of where we currently stand. Another word for an awakening is threshold. When we simply cannot stand another moment being as such.

Are our realities consistent, or aren't they? Are our emotions consistent, or aren't they? Is our behaviour consistent, or isn't it?
Do you find yourself behaving differently in different circumstances, that you suspect that you yourself may be schizophrenic (having split personalities)? Or at one moment you are saying something, and the next you're going back on your word?

Bakit ba kami Bobito Sa MATH?
Sino ba ang dapat sisihin? Sino ba ang dapat kuyugin? Kasalanan ba namin yun o kasalanan ng mga guro namin nung high school? Dahil ba hindi magaling sa English ang ibang teacher sa math kaya bumaba ang tingin namin sa kanila at di na naniwala sa mga tinuturo nila? Ano nga ba talaga?
Nung high school ako, hindi Math ang pinakamababa kong marka. Kundi ang Advanced Chemistry, wala kong grade na 90+ dun. Pero at malaking PERO sa math nakatanggap ako ng umaabot sa aking kalkulasyong... ahmmm... 90+! Galing noh! Pati ako hindi makapaniwala sa kaganapang ito. Mataas nga ang grade ko pero may natutunan ba ako? Hindi ba mataas ang grade ko kasi ang plastic ko sa teacher namin dahil tahimik effect ako? Nakatitig sa kanya waring nakikinig at naiintindhan ko pinagsasabi nia kahit hindi naman? Yun nga kaya ang dahilan? O mataas ako dahil may mas bobito pa skin? *lol*
Ngayon, parang ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng subject na tinatawag na MATH. Ngayon lang kasi ako nagbasa tungkol sa mga pinagdadakdak ng aking propesor na si Dr. Tan. Nung high school ako, natatandaan kong sinabi ng teacher ko na pag nagtuturo dao siya ang tingin niya sa mga tinuturuan nyia ay parang magcclass picture, lahat nakatitig sa kanya, pag nagtanung daw siya sabay-sabay na tataas ang mga mata namin na parang titirik-tirik at titingin sa kisame na parang nasa kisame ang kasagutan sa tinatanung nia..
Sa tingin ko kaya nangyari ang bagay na ito ay dahil sa sobrang luwag ng mga guro sa Mathematics. Hindi tulad ng mga teacher sa Science na pag di mo alam ang Boyles Constant e pasasabugan ka ng Nuclear Bomb sa kanto ng Espana. Mababait ang mga guro sa Math, matataas din magbigay basta tahimik ka at waring nakikinig. Kahit 1 lng ang nakuha mo sa long test na hanggang 50 e ok lang. Natatandaan ko pa nga na hindi na pinagtest ung kaklse ko dati dahil itlog din naman daw ang makukuha nia, kaya pinagpahinga na lang siya. Baka ma-nosebleed pa nga naman daw e kasalanan pa nung guro.
Aaminin ko na naaatract ako sa mga magaling sa subject na to. Halos lahat ng nagdaan sa akin e magaling dito. Kaya nga lang, hidi nila ko tinuruan. Ampf dba.. hehehe.. Nakakatuwa na nakakaasar isipin ang mga bagay na yon. Nakakatuwa dahil parang hanging dumaan lang ang panahon na di kami pinahirapan ng math. Nakakaasar dahil hindi sa high school matatapos ang buhay namin sa pagaaral nito. Sana e kayanin ko dahil kailangan ko talagang kayanin. Heheh.. Gudluck sa mga kapwa B.S. Math ko.. hahaha..

This is a good motto anyone can adopt. It makes us push harder when we feel like giving up, and essentially gets the best out of us. What sets the difference between achievers and non-achievers? The belief that 'I can do it' makes the difference. I'm no great achiever myself. I admit that I often overestimate myself, resulting in many disappointments. But at least I've realized this mistake, and know that I must never repeat it again.
For those who are satisfied with what they have, don't be. As the saying goes, 'Unreasonable people shape the world'.
If you let all the little stuff stop you, how can you overcome greater obstacles? Stress is an excuse for not achieving. As Anthony Robbins puts across as the definition of rationalization, 'The only thing which stops you from where you are and where you wanna be is the story about why you can't achieve it. So forget the story!'
However what I feel we are lacking is consistency. Yes, all of us should have heard it many times. The only way we can ensure success in studies is to be consistent. I'm a procrastinator, meaning I slack all year round, until the exams come (sometimes even during exams). So what divides us from students of top schools? The psychology of a top student. If we learnt how to model the mindset of a top student, we would become one eventually.
So for those who think that as long as they study hard, they're ensured success? Wrong! With the same mindset, it is impossible to study harder than you already are, and get more than you are currently achieving.
'cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am' -Rene Descartes

Do you feel insignificant? No matter what you've accomplished, how good you are, you never feel good? Chances are, it's not because you're inadequate, but because you're shortchanging yourself of whom you truly are.
In Life, we've accomplished alot thus far, and never are we at any given moment a total failure. It is just what we think of ourselves at the present moment. The cause could probably be failure to achieve your intended outcome (feedback). How we interpret what we are getting from our external world greatly affects our psychology.
The solution, as taught by many self-help gurus, is not to count your failures, but your successes. Although we must learn from our failures, we shouldn't dwell upon them, letting them spoil our future. Counting our successes gives us confidence and wires our mind to achieve more success.
How to put this in action? Simply come up with a list with your past successes in Life. The more the better. On a daily basis, you could also write a journal to record the good things you've done today, as well as lessons you've learnt from mistakes.
All these, fuels your self esteem and confidence.

How many of us can admit that we are 100% focused on whatever we do? Be it in our studies, or the little things we do everyday. How many of us are actually totally focused, instead of putting up a show purely for others? For those who find themselves guilty of the latter, why is it so important?
My recent lack of focus, creates frustration in my life. The more I try to focus, the harder it gets. Life is very ironic, the harder we try, the harder things gets. We are most receptive while at ease. Resistances of any form aren't of much help to us. It's like fighting an internal battle within yourself.
The most effective remedy for a lack of focus is clearly having a strong desire to do something that nothing else has the ability to distract our minds. Problem is, how easy is it to develop a strong sense of desire, a.k.a passion?
Most self-help guru cite that the best way to discover our true passion is to ask ourselves: If I could have everything in the world, what would I do for free? For most of us students, we are okay with anything, just anything but stuff related to studies. Tell me, if there was no point in studying, who would? The education system here is so competitive that it results in most students developing negative feelings towards studies; in response to the immense amount of pressure.
If the way to bring out the best in us is to do what we love, is education really a must?

Do you feel like you're on the verge of sanity, especially this summer vacae, when you've nowhere to go and nothing to do but stay at home? And not forgetting to study study study? Does it make you feel like a hermit? Where your only source of enjoyment is the television, celphone and the computer (and sleep)? Some may think they like to sleep, but we sleep more than required because we feel bored.
Of course, different people deal with things differently and these are from my perspective. Staying at home too long can even drive one nuts, as we are almost totally cut away from the world, not forgetting from people. But once school reopens, this feeling of 'boredom' vanishes mysteriously, but is replaced immediately with dread towards school and yearning for the holidays to start again. Ironic huh?

What is your world like? How are people living before your eyes? How are you living? Most importantly, how are you living in relation to your reality?
It is true that we are who we choose to be. Although external factors such as the people we come in contact with, and all the various circumstances, we still have the power to choose.
However, how we behave is how we react to the world we perceive. If you see life as hell, you'll act as though everything is meaningless and life is dull. On the contrary, if everything has a purpose in your life, how can Life be boring?
One of the most unfortunate truth is how we live as students. As a student, why do you study? Obviously, all students have a common aim. The burning question is, how do we attain that? Do we disregard everything else just to pursue our studies?
Yes, it's a fact that competition is tough. But, we must see the whole picture. Would you rather achieve your goals through selfish and underhand means, or with pride and harmony with your surroundings?
Some students, live to score better grades then their peers. People who were supposedly your friends suddenly become your foes. It is the consequence of bearing selfish thoughts. What's the point of success, when there's no one to share it with?
Ideally, a student should pursue his studies with an open mind and a kind heart. An open mind to accept his own mistakes and learn from others, and a kind heart to help others.

In this ever changing world, different things give different impressions to each and every one of us. Moreover, our opinions are always changing, so something which you hated (or thought you hated) would become something you love.
Let me cite a couple of examples. I always thought I was a 100% purely anti-maple person. My impression was that it was a damn childish game and those who played it were fags. Then I got a little interested in it (don't ask me know) and decided to download it, since almost everyone was playing it. But in the end I decided that it wasn't my cup of tea, so I was back to square one.
Another example is this famous Korean drama called Jewel in the Palace. Initially when I heard about this show, my impression was yuck! How could anyone like a boring show, especially when most of the time we see women dressed in disgusting traditional costumes, chopping up food?
Possibly I believed I hated it because everyone loved it! We always want to be different eh? However, after spending this past week watching all 70 episodes I feel that it's the best serial drama I every watched! Do you have any comments about this show?
For those who share the same sentiment as I, there's no need for further elaboration. The question is, how firm do we stand by our beliefs? Are our thought plainly created by shallow associations? Obviously, the man who sticks by his beliefs and values rises or goes down with them, rather than the man who is always caught in the middle, shaken by the smallest influence. Which do you want to be?

Relationships are, certainly never based on our looks. At least this is what everyone says. Loving someone for who they are, and not for their looks or wealth. Therefore, character is most important.
How important are appearances to us? It is natural that we are more receptive to good looking people/things. Man loves beauty. In choosing friends, do you prefer if they're good looking? However, between an ugly people with a good character to a handsome person with a selfish heart, one would choose the former.
We must always remember, that good looks are only skin deep. Physically, we are mostly made up of the same stuff. But in the heart, is what has the deepest and greatest value. Our character is our core, what separates us from others, the good and the ugly.
The most valuable things are those which cannot be seen.

Have you ever wished that you were not where you are? To not have to face stress which mounts day by day. Today, the world is moving very rapidly. People, in order to catch up with the world, often work at maniac speeds.
In a world like this, have you ever considered living as a poor, simple but happy person on a farm? Where you are free of worldly affairs. Being able to spend the rest of your life with that special someone, and bringing your kids up on your own. Not needing Siti at your beck and call, and inculcate all the wrong values in your precious children. What if you could live a life like this?
Of course, that is our ideal world. Most ideals are very unrealistic. Even if we were to live on a farm as mentioned above, would we really lead a blissful life? Highly unlikely. As teenagers, instead of worrying about grades, or appearance, we would most probably be busy helping to support the family, doing labour intensive jobs such as farming (no thank you!). Is this what we mean by our so called blissful life?
In the past, children were made to support the family. But today, our roles have been reversed. Instead of being of help to our parents, we are a liability to our parents (financially speaking of course). Our parents invest their hard earned money in us, but do we really repay them, and give them a ROI (return on investment)? It is bad enough that some of us are not thankful for our good fortune. Some can even complain that their life really sucks, and we hear cases of teenagers committing suicide at the smallest problem!
Point is, no matter what, we are living in the best time to be alive! Kings in the past did not even have as much privilege as we do today, think about it (ok maybe besides having the power to execute someone at will, or have billions of concubines). Technology's improved our lives so well that we are now so pampered. No?

"There's nothing fair about who lives and who dies." It's the only explanation Robert Ramsey can offer his band of struggling survivors. Whatever consolation the group may take from those words, they're not worth much for the audience watching the ragged bunch trying to escape from a capsized ocean luxury liner. Regardless of who makes it off the ship alive, it's unfair to have to watch the struggle for survival reduced to such a shallow, high budget stunt show.
The story opens with a taste of the best thing the film has offer: visual effects. You're treated to a stem to stern sunset flyover of the massive Poseidon in all its glory. Take a hard look; it's the last time you'll see the ship looking so good. The passengers and crew are preparing to usher in the New Year with some serious festivities, unaware that a rare marine event known as a rogue wave is about to crash their party.
In a torrent of carnage and collateral damage, the 200 foot wall of water effortlessly tosses the giant cruise ship upside down resulting in the most violent and gut-wrenching cinematic sequence since James Cameron sank the Titanic. It's a horrifying and stunning start that sets the stage for a potentially incredible story of danger and survival. I sat back and awaited an adventure of heightened emotional conflict and stirring struggles of will. An hour and a half later the credits started scrolling but I was still waiting.
Rather than capitalize on its talented cast, most of Poseidon is reduced to screaming, panicking, and frantic swimming. Kurt Russell, Emmy Rossum, Josh Lucas, Richard Dreyfuss... these are the names of people you hire to play at least semi-challenging dramatic roles. For what little acting actually took place, the studio could have saved itself several millions in salaries by hiring the cast of Anacondas instead. Shamelessly borrowing plot devices from movies all across the Hollywood spectrum, the filmmakers neglected to consult the one film that could have really helped: the original 1972 Poseidon Adventure.
Based on the same novel, the older movie may not have offered state of the art digital effects and massive rotating sound stages to dazzle and hypnotize the audience. On the other hand, its Academy Award winning cast wasn't wasted either. The movie offered dark psychological themes and intense character interactions that created more tension than all the flooding hallways in the world. Once again, Hollywood has reinvented a film by stripping away everything that made the story truly absorbing by pumping it full of high budget frenzies and predictable life or death scenarios.
I expected something better from Wolfgang Petersen, who just two movies ago directed The Perfect Storm, a moving story about another doomed seafaring vessel. What we've ended up with in Poseidon is Petersen falling prey to George Lucas syndrome: spending too much time on stunts and special effects and too little time on characters and their interactions. I suppose it's only fair to point out that he may have been slightly limited by his script. Screenplay writer Mark Protosevich's only previous credit is The Cell. Draw your own conclusions.
Even though it's lacking in almost every other department, Poseidon hits a homerun with big action and big visual effects. Poseidon is an incredible vessel, as beautiful to look at upright as it is terrifying to watch upside down. There's something awe inspiring about watching a five-story-high ball room rotate upside down as the actors go from sitting in their chairs to clinging to the underside of the table before plummeting to the ceiling below. If you're in the mood to switch off your mind and indulge in a Hollywood disaster flick of Titanic proportions, look no further. Expect anything more and you're in for a monumental disappointment.

Kaya mo bang harapin ang iyong nakaraan? Ako..? ahmm... Kinaya ko! Hahaha.. Nakasama ko na naman mga kaibigan ko mula sa pagkabata, at naungkat na naman ang kwento tungkol sa unang babaeng minahal ko ng seryoso. Una at kaisa-isang nang busted sa akin. At unang nagpaiyak sa inosenteng puso ko noon.. Kamusta naman yun di ba? Hahaha.. Kung dati, pinaka ayokong pagusapan ang bagay na yan dahil nasasaktan ako.. Totoo.. Masakit sa akin un na di man lang na appreciate ung nararamdman ko sa kanya. Pero di ko naman siya masisisi dahil di naman pwedeng diktahan ang puso.. Di pwede ung "mahal ko-mahal ako.' Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya kasi kundi dahil sa kanya eh di ko kayang harapin ang mga nangyari.. Natanggap ko na rin sa wakas na binusted nia ko <*ouch!*> Hahaha.. Naisip ko rin na mali ako, dahil batang bata pa kami noon. Pero may kumokontra sa utak ko na nagsasabing totoo yung nararamdaman mo kaya hayaan mong malaman niya. Yun nga ginawa ko.. Kahit bata pa kami noon alam ko ginagawa ko at seryoso ako sa nararamdaman ko kaya sinabi ko sa kanya ang totoo, ang mali ko nanaman e ung umasa ako na baka mahalin niya rin ako..
Taon din ang binilang para mawala yung pagkakailangan, at nung isang araw lang natuldukan yon.. Sa halos apat na taon na nagkikita kami, hindi kami naguusap.. pero nung isang araw, nagusap na rin kami na parang walang nangyari.. pero pasaway talaga mga kaibgan namin, inungkat na naman yung isyung un… kaya naisip ko na siguro kailangan na ngang harapin yun at mapagusapan na naming lahat. Sabi nga nila e graduate na ko sa kanya, din a ko umasa, di ko na siya ginulo. Ngayon, may boyfriend na siya, bute naman.. Tinanong nila ko kung mahal ko pa ba siya, sabi ko.. "oo, pro bilang isang kaibgan na lang" Totoo naman yung sinabi ko.. At ngayon e masaya na mga kaibgan ko dahil inamin ko na ung totoong nangyari.. Hay.. Magaan ang pakiramdam ko dahil nasabi ko na rin ang isang kwento sa buhay ko na hindi ko talaga makakalimutan.. pag naiisip ko yun natatawa ko sa sarili ko kasi pangkaraniwang tao rin pala ko, kala ko kasi dati bato ako..

A man concerned with self-image, self-indulgence and money. (Usually urban, heterosexual, probably affluent). A man who is seen, sociologically, as having attributes common to homosexuals, but is in fact heterosexual.
An urban male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. -metrosexuality n.
Both refer to the urban male who dresses well and spends money on his appearance. However, both also fall into the pit fall of trying to emphasis the spending and by highlighting the cash element.
I disagree. Metrosexuality isn't about how concerned with cash you are or how much you spend. Neither is it about self indulgence. Could you really define a man who over indulges with food and booze and spends thousands on branded suits that don't fit, a metrosexual? No! These definitions are weak.
The metrosexual man has also been defined as "being in touch with his feminine side" As with the previous definitions the answer is in some ways yes and in some ways no.
The fact is the metrosexual man has realized the importance, and the matching benefits, of taking care of one's appearance. The metrosexual man has taken this realization and has been smart enough to put a price on it.
It is believed that first impressions are made in 3 -6 seconds, 55% of the impression is determined by appearance, 30% based on tone of voice and only 15% based on what you say.
Put a price on it! Dressing well gets you 55% of the way there. Knowing you look great adds a tone of confidence to your voice and gets you through the next 30%. Bingo! First impression - 85% before you've said anything.
Metrosexuality therefore isn't measured by self indulgence or how much you spend it's measured by that first impression. The cost? Whatever it takes for YOU as an individual to create that perfect first impression.
And so I give you my definition of a metrosexual: A new breed of man, unafraid to look and feel his best at all times.
Its simple and it's flexible, spend what you need to spend, act how you want to act but feel great about it.

A kind of attraction with no reason, no base, with some kind of spirituality, is what is called Love. When there are no feelings for the person, and you know it very well that this won't last and you don't want it to last either, but you want to have a fling, it is Lust. Love at first sight is a simpler but a deeper feeling as you don't know the person's traits nor background, but still you feel attracted because something in you says that this is the person you have been waiting for.
From a guys perspective, I'd rather be loved than lusted after. I think a lot of people feel the same but are too scared to admit it. You go into a relationship with either the right or wrong reasons. If it is the wrong reasons <*lust*> then the relationship will be short term, however if it is <*love*> and both parties are committed it will be for the long-term. It quite simple. I don't believe in love at first sight, but I do believe people can have feelings for someone at first sight. For instance a person may have feelings for another simply because that person reminds them of someone they knew as a child, or who they had good memories of.
I believe that if someone is committed to his or her relationship, love at first sight is definitely possible provided that both parties are in love. However, if the someone is somebody who is not committed to his or her relationship, he could have a few hundred more love at first sight, which to him could be just chances for him to satisfy his lust with other people but an excuse that it was love at first sight.
Other cases could be someone who loved another person at first sight but the person being liked either do not like him or were even just strangers. I think these are purely crashes or wishful thinkings. It could be caused by what you were feeling at that moment which caused you to like her when you first saw her. Such love often fades very soon.
Sometimes, I think that love is a matter of fate. If fate brings you and another person together, that is it. But if fate wants to hold you back, then there is really nothing you could do. Besides fate, having the chemistry between the both of you could another matter to be considered.

Ngayong araw na ito ay ipinagdiriwang sa buong mundo ang Mothers Day. Kaya kaninang umaga ay nagpunta ako ng SM San Lazaro para bumili ng munting regalo para sa aking pinakamamahal na ina.
Wala akong maisip na mairegalo kaya bumili na lang ako ng Black Forest cake sa Red Ribbon. Ang haba nang pila.. Grabe.. Parang pila ng libreng lugaw ng mga pulitiko. Pinapakita lang nito na maraming tao sa Pilipinas ang ipinagdiriwang pa rin ang araw ng mga ina kahit wala gaanong pera.
Pagkaorder ko, matagal pa akong nagintay. Ok lang namang magintay, marami naman kasing tao sa mall kaya naaliw ako. Lakaran ng lakaran. May mga mayayaman na nakakarami na sa nashoshoping para sa kanilang ina. Ung iba na namang walang gaanong pera, naglalakad lang. Patingin tingin sa mga salamin ng mga naggagandahang store. Ang mahalaga naman ay yung buo ang pamilya at masaya kahit walang sapat na pera diba?
Sa wakas, nakuha ko na ang cake... after 48years... Mejo nagtaka lang ako sa sa ribbon dahil hindi red ang ang kulay nito di tulad ng sinasaad ng pangalan ng bakeshop na "Red Ribbon" hehehe.. Yung karton ang red at hindi ang ribbon! Irereklamo k yan sa mga otoridad... Aabot tayo sa Korte Suprema.. <*LOL*>

Who I Want to Meet..? Haha..!! Friends and potential lovers of course!! haha ;) My friends say that I'm picky. That, I'd definitely have to agree with. I want someone that I'm attracted to of course, but not attracted JUST to their appearance and at the expense of sounding really cliche, someone I'm attracted to who they are and what they have on the inside. It's not what you have on the outside that matters to me the most. I want someone to spoil with my emotional support. Someone that wants a happy relationship... I want other's to look at us and be like "they are so happy together, why can't we be like that?" that's hot. Also, someone who will give me attention, someone who wants to be together as much as our schedules allow. I want someone to wake up to in the morning that puts a smile on my face and gives me that extra boost to start my day.
As for me, I'm the type of guy who will hold you when you're crying and wipe away your tears. I'm the guy who is content to just be able to hold you and wants nothing more. I'm the guy who's perfectly happy with staying in and watching movies and cuddling. I'm the guy who will text you and tell you "I miss you and wish you were here" just because. I'm the guy who kisses you on the forehead. I'm the guy who will hold you while we watch the sunset and make sure you know you're the most precious thing in my life. I'm the type of guy that will bring happiness into my and your world no matter the circumstances. You'll never feel so loved in your life and that's for sure. I will go beyond means to make you happy just to see that beautiful smile of yours.
To me, there's nothing better in life than knowing your partner appreciates you as much as you appreciate them. Feeling loved and being in love is one of life's greatest blessings... you can label me as a hopeless romantic... I love doing things for people (especially people I'm interested in romantically). I can get pretty creative too... To me... the most important thing in life you can ever give someone is TIME... because it's something you cant control and have very little of. I just hope one day I can find that one person that I can give my time to...
I want someone that has goals in life... and isn't afraid to go for them... someone that actually deserves the love and effort I put forth in a relationship... someone that I can be in love with... and be loved by. I know that finding love in "my world" is difficulty if not nearly impossible... but I’d like to think that their is someone for everyone... and that one of these days someone will come up to me... and all we have to do is look into each others eyes... and just smile... because we won't have to say anything... we'll just know... because we'll feel it... I want to find that someone that I can connect with deeply... emotionally and physically... someone that is willing to be my soul mate and my best friend...

When there is love, there is always sacrifice.
When we love someone, we never easily give up on that person.
Even if we get hurt badly, we always try to find a way to ease the pain and learn to understand and forgive.
Loving too much doesn't hurt... it is when we expect this love to be reciprocated that we begin to seek approval and acceptance of the things we have done and when we are taken for granted and rejected, we curse the very same love that we once freely and happily offered.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD HAVE FELT. OPEN YOUR HEART AGAIN AND GIVE YOURSELF THE CHANCE TO FIND THE ONE WHO WOULD MAKE LOVING WORTH THE PAIN AND THE SACRIFICE.

When we fail in our relationships, we ask ourselves what went wrong. There are times when nothing is wrong. Sometimes love just naturally fades away and this happens to people who are not really meant for each other. I know it is difficult to comprehend why relationships suddenly take unexpected turns. But such things happen. People we treasure go away for a reason. Sometimes we have to stop asking and just accept it. We should stop being bitter just been thankful for once we have loved and shared our life with the person and made beautiful memories together. The acceptance will give us the courage to move on and make us realize that when God takes away something from us, he doesn't do it to hurt us. He takes it away because He wants us to have something better...
--------
Yeah, it takes time to finally accept things and kailangan mo nang mag-let go lalo na if you've shared enough memories with the person. pero isipin mo na lang na the more you hold on to that feeling, the harder for you to realize that what you're trying to keep just wants his own freedom. syempre yung masakit na part yung iisipin mo na sayang lahat... yung memories, yung bonding, saka yung dream mo na siya na yung makakasama mo someday. pero di ba all are parts of a good relationship? ganon talaga kaya masakit. paulit-ulit lang yan until you found that person you're to share your life with. you really have to let him go... it takes time pero it's the best thing you can do para na rin sa sarili mo.

Nabaling ang usapan, sa hindi maintindihang dahilan, sa mga ex. The tale of the ex. of course, one of the biggest problems when entering a new relationship is the ex. suddenly one is struck by lightning that even the name of the ex may or may nor trigger a certain queasyness that may or may not cause you to throw up all of a sudden. like it or not, unless you're entering a relationship for the first time (yeah, right. feeling virginal.) the ex is someone both has to contend with, even of the relationship is long gone.ni hindi nga kailangan na ex-boyfriend o ex-girlfriend ng kalaban mo. pwedeng kahit anong ex - ex-bestfriend, ex-classmate, ex-schoolmate, ex-roomate, ex-officemate, ex-friend, ex-enemy, ex-pet, ex-hobby, ex-convict, ex-bisyo, ex-buddy, ex-fucking buddy, ex-kissing friend, ex-friendster, ex-barkada, ex-men, ex-woman, ex-cetera, ex-cetera. ang mahalaga lang naman sa tunggaliang ito ay dalawang titik: ex = ang nakaraan. gaano ka ka-handang tanggapin ang nakaraan ng isang tao?
They say those who fail to look into the past, look forward into failure. babagsak ka kung hindi mo ito pag-aaralan, ang kasaysayan na lang ang mgsasabi sa iyo niyan. pagdating sa mga bagay na may kinalaman sa relasyon, masasabing kalaban mo ang nakaraan. kalaban mo ang lahat ng katangin ng kanyang nakaraan, lahat ng bahagi nito, lahat ng pagkakamali nito dahil higit pa sa lahat, ikaw ang kanyang ngayon. ikaw ngayon ang lahat ng hindi katulad ng dati, at pareho ninyong mas gustong maging hindi katulad ng dati. sabi nga, "iba na ngayon". (kung tutuusin, ilan nga bang "ngayon" ang lagi nating sinasabing "iba"?)
Gaano ka ka-handang harapin ang ex ng iyong girlfriend, gaano siya kahandang harapin ang ex mo? tanong: hindi kaya sa sa pagpapakilala ng mga ex ay lalo lang kayong mapapamahal sa isa't isa o kabaliktaran kaya? doesn't it feel like, when you drag your ex into your present, it's like letting space for your past in you and your present's future?
Kung buong puso ninyong matatanggap ang mga ex ng isa't isa, mas lalo ninyo lang naman mapapatunayan na hindi lang taong kaharap mo ang minahal mo kundi ang buo niyang kaluluwa (past lives included!). kung sa tao din lang, libog lang yan, init na lumulipas sa minutong mabanyusan ng konting laman. kung lahat pwede mong lulunin sa nakaraan niya, at kahit na ano pang sabihin nilang nangyari noon, magaling ka. marunong ka ngang magmahal. but of course, all ex-es should ba taken with a grain of salt. remember, everyone doesn't love a martyr. hehehe.simple lang yan: ng unang hakbang: pag-usapan ang ex. kung naiilang ka, hmm... i smell issues. kung okay lang, wala ka namang dapat ika-takot di ba?

As secret agent Ethan Hunt in "Mission: Impossible III," Tom Cruise gets to show off his "vulnerable" side, which means that for a total of maybe five minutes, his gritted teeth and laser stare are toned down a tad.
Cruise's sleek professionalism as a performer generally carries over into his movies, many of which he produces, and "M:I:III" is no exception. It's an expertly engineered popcorn movie - hold the butter substitute - but it also tries (and fails) to be a love story for the ages.
As the film begins, Ethan has retired from active service in the Impossible Mission Force but, of course, keeps signing on for new missions anyway. He is also set to marry the love of his life, a smiley nurse named Julia (Michelle Monaghan). "Our approach," director and co-writer J.J. Abrams was quoted as saying, "is not to make a movie about a spy, but to tell a story about a man who is a spy."
This man has no trouble keeping a straight face while telling Julia that he works as a traffic manager for the Department of Transportation. (Couldn't he at least have said that he works for Homeland Security?) "M:I:III" resembles "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" except that here the wife is a non-pro (i.e., clueless). When Ethan returns home without a scratch - after a rough night with his buddies blowing things sky high and being chased by rocket-launching attack planes and attempting to extract an implanted bomb from the brain of one of his agents - all he can say to Julia is that he's kind of bushed and that he needs her to trust him. And she falls for it. If this union ever goes on the rocks, I pity the poor marriage counselor.
The effort to turn Ethan into a real live human being instead of a just a lethal acrobat never really succeeds. Probably just as well. After all, who really wants to see Tom Cruise get all vulnerable? As an actor he has two modes: Intense and intenser. This is what makes him a forceful presence in his movies and, ultimately, such an uninteresting one. The "M:I:III" series, minus the heart tugs, is in his most effective range. He reportedly even did many of his own stunts (none of which involve couch jumping).
But the difference between a star machine like Cruise and a great actor like Philip Seymour Hoffman is amply demonstrated by this film. Hoffman is Owen Davian, a bad-boy billionaire who makes most Bond villains look like wusses. Davian is behind a plot to incinerate the world with a substance code-named "rabbit's foot."
Or at least I think that's what he's up to. Hoffman could easily have camped or cartooned up the role but, remarkably, he underplays it. Maybe he was trying to get away from his portrayal of Truman Capote, who, come to think of it, would have made a great Bond villain. Davian is truly scary because Hoffman is truly gifted. He captures the sub-zero psychopathology of a man who gets a kick out of killing.
Besides Cruise, the other actors playing Mission Impossiblers, including Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Maggie Q, and Ving Rhames, are sturdy action figures. Their job is to foil Davian, and at one point, when Ethan's wife is in danger and he plans a daring rescue, Rhames's Luther very sensibly tells him, "There's a point when bold becomes stupid."
That point is never reached in "M:I:III" because, unlike the lovefest between Ethan and Julia, the action scenes were never meant to be taken seriously.
That's why they're fun. When Ethan is swinging over and around the skyscrapers in Shanghai - which the on-screen title helpfully informs us is in China - we're practically in Spider-Man country. If you go to "M:I:III" with no illusions about getting helpful marital tips, you'll have a good time. As Ethan says to his wife, "I need you to trust me on this." Grade: B+
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of frenetic violence and menace, disturbing images, and some sensuality.
Sex/Nudity: 3 instances of innuendo or implied sex. Violence: 20 intense scenes. Profanity: 25 expressions, including 3 strong. Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco: 2 instances of drinking.

You're a Playful Kisser
Kissing is a huge game for you, a way to flirt and play
You're the first one to suggest playing spin the bottle at a party
Or you'll go for the wild kiss during a game of truth or dare
And you're up for kissing any sexy stranger if the mood is right!

Sabi ng mga ilang kakilala kong mga nilalang saakin ay ako raw ay kabilang sa mga importanteng tao sa buong mundo, isipin mo nalang na lahat kaya mong gawin, kaya mong gumuhit, magsulat, magsalita ng kung ano, gumawa ng pilosopng kaugnayan kung ano man yon at gumawa ng tula.
Pero mayroon isang bagay na talagang bigong-bigo sa aking mga karanasan, yan ang kwento ko sa pag-ibig, masyadong madaya ang mundong ito, hindi ko alam kung bakit kinakailangan pa nating magkaroon pa ng kasintahan?
Sabi daw may kondisyon ang pagkakaroon ng kasintahan, kailangan mahanap yung tamang babae, pero ang tanong ko lang bakit ganoon? kailangan pa bang hanapin kung ano dapat at ano ang mararapat, hindi ba pwedeng kung sino ang mahal mo siya na? oo nga eh, nakahanap nga ako eh, labing tatlo pa, at ang kadalasan dito, puro illegal.
Di ka pwedeng magkaroon ng kasintahan kung sila kapamilya, alam mo na siguro ang dahilan, taboo ito eh. Di ka pwedeng magkaroon ng kasintahan kung sila ay mahirap, dahil malulugi ka raw sa pera. Di ka pwedeng magkaroon ng kasintahan kung sila ay mayaman, pera lang ang iniintindi, pera lang ang inaabot, kadalasan daw sa mayayaman prinoprotekta ang pera at minsan lang sa pamilya ewan ko lang kung totoo ito. Di ka pwedeng mag karoon ng kasintahan kung sila ay may kasintahan na rin, yan ang problema ko ngayon...
At kung ano pa ang mga dahilan ko, Nagrereklamo ako ngayon tungkol dito, bakit nga ba kinakailangang pang magkaroon ng batas tungkol sa pag-ibig, akala ko ba love is everywhere? at sa mga napapanood kong mga kwento tungkol sa mga love-life na nagkakaroon daw na happy ending, natutunan ko na wala naman sa buhay ang happy ending.
Bigo talaga ako sa pag-ibig, pasensya na asar lang ako, siguro kinakailangan kong bigyan ng mensahe si Joe D MAnggo sa libre at ilahad ko ang reklamo ko tungkol sa pag-ibig. ang dahilan kailangan ko ng tulong yun lang di na ako magsasalita.
Sige dito nalang ako lalagyan ko na ng plaster ang aking bibig para di na ako magsalita.

Alam ba talaga nang pangkaraniwang Pilipino ang ibig sabihin ng "charter change?" Alam ba natin ang Parliamentary? Ikaw? Alam mo ba kung anu yon? Siguro dapat bago ka magsalita sa isyung ito ay may sapat kang kaalaman kung ito ba ay makabubuti o makasasama sa ating bansa..
Pumunta ka ng Mendiola, makikita mo ang mga ralyista na di ko alam kung nandun ba talaga sila dahil may sapat silang alam sa bagay na ito kaya napagpasyahan nilang magwelga o nagpauto sila sa mga sakim na pulitiko na inisip lang ang kanilang kapakanan hindi ang bayan. Hirap kasi dito satin eh, nagsisilipan ng kanikanilang baho makakontra lang. Eh kung nagtulungan kaya kayo, edi umayos buhay nating lahat! Hindi lang kayo ang tao sa bansang ito. Isipin ninyo rin naman kami.
Kailangang malaman ng mga Pilipino kung ano ang maganda at di magandang maidudulot nito sa bansa, para magkaron ng pansariling desisyon ang Pilipino sa bagay na ito. Siguro panahon na para tulungan ng media ang pamahalaan para bigyang kaalaman ang ating mga kababayan...
Ito ay isang opinyon lamang. Magsaliksik muna bago pumunta sa lansangan. Alamin ang mga bagay na dapat alamin. Wag padalos dalos Juan dela Cruz, parang awa mo na huwag magpauto sa mga pulitiko. Magkaron ka ng sariling pagpapasya. Malay mo, di mo namamalayan, sinisira mo na pala ang kinabukasan mo.
