The moment I heard Bugoy sing, I knew that he is a star-in-the-making…. My eyes are sparkling with joy. My whole body is shivering that has nothing to do with cold.

Here are a few tips on how to maximize your role in the childbirth process: 1. Suggest taking childbirth classes with your wife. It is a very empowering experience since it defines your role during the childbirth process. 2. If you are unable to because of time constraints, just read up on books and the internet about the pregnancy and most especially, about the breastfeeding process so you can support your wife all the way through. 3.

The correct way of eating fruits

THE CORRECT WAY OF EATING FRUITS We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it, and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how, and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits? * It means not eating fruits after your meals! * Fruits should be eaten on an empty stomach. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss, and other life activities. FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots, and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil. So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before

Top 5 cancer causing foods

1. Hot dog Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate. 2. Processed meats and bacon. Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer. 3. Doughnuts. Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer. 4. French fries. Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer-causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries. 5. Chips, crackers, and cookies. All are usually made with white flour and su

LT ayaw munang isipin ang showbiz

Ang 5th Golden Screen Awards ng Enter­tain­ment Press Society ang unang showbiz event na pinun­tahan ni Lorna Tolentino mula nang sumaka­bilang-buhay si Rudy Fernadez noong June 7. Si LT ang nag-win ng best actress trophy para sa isang comedy role dahil effective ang performance niya sa Katas ng Saudi. Hindi pa mapapanood si LT sa Startalk dahil tatapusin muna niya ang 40th day ni Daboy. Ayaw muna niyang isipin ang mga showbiz-related matters dahil marami pa siyang mas importante na dapat harapin at asikasuhin. Nakatulong ang pagbabakasyon ni LT at ng kanyang mga anak sa Boracay. Inabot sila doon ng malakas na bagyo at tinangay ng malalakas na alon ang ilan sa mga kalungkutan na nararamdaman ni LT.

PUP to probe reported gang rape of student

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) said it has created a fact-finding committee to investigate reports of a gang rape of a student by 15 fellow students as part of an initiation into an underground fraternity. The alleged gang rape “is a very unfortunate incident, though an isolated one,” the PUP said in a statement. The school said its officials are “grieved” about the incident and are cooperating with the police and the Department of Social Welfare and Development since minors are involved. The school administration assured “all involved that they will be protected in accordance with the law. Legal assistance and financial assistance will likewise be provided to the alleged victim.” The PUP said stricter security measures are being enforced in the campus and officials are closely coordinating with law enforcers.

Dr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity Centenarian Tips for a Long Life

Everyone would love to live to a ripe old age, but not if it means looking and feeling like an over-ripe old vegetable. We need to understand that though getting older is inevitable, getting decrepit is not. Being bent in half and wheeling around an oxygen tank should not be what we picture when we hear the phrase "the golden years." I have seen centenarians around the world who defy our stereotypes of the aging experience. In fact, 20 years ago, while in Shanghai, I took note of the thousands of seniors - a great many of them centenarians - meeting up in parks each morning to practice tai chi. I was truly amazed by their agility, sharp minds, and overall state of health. Intrigued by this discovery, I began studying the lifestyle of centenarians around the world and anti-aging therapies. I combined these discoveries and uncovered the secrets to longevity. Here are a few secrets that will have you looking forward to your 100th birthday! Tai Chi: An Exercise in Anti-aging Tai

I'm still a Virgin

Yeah right, what are you thingking huh? I'm still a virgin when comes in blogging. I don't have any experience yet, this is my first time to write a blog. They said when you blog, your articles or post must be "unique and original written in English" huhuhu it's a nosebleed for me. I'm not fluent in English how can I blog. I must develop my vocabulary in English. I must read a lot. For me it was not easy to write and expressing your thoughts. Finding a subject to write? I can't think any subject to write. Why I still want to blog? My brother-in-law who is now a pro blogger encourage us "me & my hubby" to blog. He said thru blog we can earn extra money. Bro, thanks for the wonderful idea. I was thingking that aside from working and earning a minimum salary, we can now earn extra income from our spare time. And if we are lucky, we can make it the main source of our income. Now, its a big question to me now how I can earn from blogging? So I beg

The wife was VERY upset!

She came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman. The wife was VERY upset! "You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried. "How dare you do this to me-a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you I want a divorce straight away!" And he replied: "Hang on just a minute luv, so at least I can tell you what happened" "Fine, go ahead", she sobbed, "but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!" And he began: "Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days! So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afra

THE WEDDING TEST

I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating forover a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one littlething bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister. My prospectivesister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally wasbra-less. It had to be deliberate. One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check thewedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to methat she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. Shetold me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed mylife to her sister. Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word. She said, 'I'm goingupstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come upand get me.' I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up thestairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straightto the front door. I opened the door,

Alex Fletcher : [ singing ] Sleeping with a clown above my bed... [ spoken ] Alex Fletcher : "Clown" is not right Sophie Fisher : That's "cloud." Why would you put a clown in your bed? Alex Fletcher : It would not be the first time. Alex Fletcher : The best time I've had in the last fifteen years was sitting at that piano with you. Sophie Fisher : That's wonderfully sensitive... especially from a man who wears such tight pants. Alex Fletcher : It forces all the blood to my heart. Alex Fletcher : Theoretically, I could pick you up because I will be taking a cab. Sophie Fisher : I could be standing outside at 9:40 in bright orange clothes, so you wouldn't miss me... Alex Fletcher : Oh, good, you'll get some road work done while you wait, then. Alex Fletcher : [ Sophie moves a chair ] What are you doing, you madwoman, you're wrecking my apartment!

MARRIAGE

To those who are married, not married and soon to be married. MARRIAGE When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her! With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced
