Trick ot treat with a twist......





















This year is the most memorable halloween celebration we had for several years. The past celebrations were the traditional scarry ones for kids and for adults as well, with matching witches and ghosts flying all over the building and with cobwebs on evry corner. It was scarry for the small ones and the bigger ones and the adults alike. So, this year to make a difference our HR suggested for a carnival type atmosphere. Our office decided to have our balloon corner, other got their ice cream corner, others toy corner and lots of stuff that Im very sure made the kids enjoy their Halloween adventure.

The Coconuter



I was just hopping from one channel to another on a stress free cool saturday afternoon, from UST vs. ATeneo (Studio 23), to Star Talk ( Channel 7, PBA ( Channel 21) and finally something very interesting that glued me to ABS-CBN's Nagmamahal Kapamilya. The story of David Eric Poarch, give up his American dream came to the Philippines and living as what he calls himself " The modern nomad".

Its somewhat ironic, statistics showed that a lot of Filipinos have left the country for greener pastures, then here comes this very young lad who left his comforable life in the U.S in the hope of bringing back great memories of his childhood, tracing his roots and living a very simple life. Wow, its a teleserye material, its an eye opener, its simple but its complicated.

A realization that its not about the money, the luxury or the comfort anymore that matters, its about happiness and joy. There are things in life that money cant buy, and you will wake up one day a part of you is missing and realize giving all you've got just to complete you as a person could be inevitable.

How pity, only experienced his first kiss, first time to hold a girl's hand, first girlfriend and first everything in the Philippines. read more of the Coconuter....and watch his entertaining video

A few things to think about...Three

The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.

Take time to laugh for it is the music of the soul.

Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.

Harsh words break no bones but they break hearts.

To get out of a difficulty , one must usually go through it.

For every one minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you will never get back.

Hawak Kamay......

Hawak Kamay Lyrics - Yeng Constantino

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko makakaya”
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

Chorus
Hawak-kamay
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Minsan madarama mo
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
Narito ako oh, Narito ako…

(Chorus)

Sa mundo ng kawalan mp3
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Sa mundo ng kawalan…

A few things to think about...Two

Everyone needs to be loved, especially when they dont deserve it.

The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

Laughter is God's sunshine.

Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it.

It's important for parents to live the same things they teach.

Thank God for what you have, trust God for what you need.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

Happy memories never wear out...relive them as often as you want.

Our pains






Sometimes our pain becomes so great
that we despair in deep distress
we can cry to God with foolish words
that later we to Him confess. - D De Haan -

Useful Tips

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD...

Just wanted to share this tips to you sent by an e friend...

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave
emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver
or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that
you can do with it:
*I*
*The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112.* If you
find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and
there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any
existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and
interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad
is locked. **Try it out.**
*II*
*Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have
remote keys?*

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home,
call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the
person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the
mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone
from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone
who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors
(or the trunk).

Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our
carover a cell phone!"*
*III*
Subject: Hidden Battery power
Imagine your cell battery is very low,you are expecting an important
call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a
reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will
restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase
in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell
next time.
AND
*IV*
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits
on your phone:
* # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your
handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get
stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They
will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the
SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever
stole it can't use/sell it either.
If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile
phones.


Please spread this useful information around

A few things to think about..

Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.

You cant change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.

Love....and you shall be loved.

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.

All people smile in the same language.

A Hug is a great gift, one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and its easy to exchange.

My head ache partner



Woke up early this morning with a very severe head ache, its so painful I can feel my head pounding. Im glad I have my menthol cone with me, I dont take drugs for my head ache and even for my colds. This is my favorite head ache partner its only P 29.00 or $ .50. For head aches just rub it on temples and you will feel its soothing effect, for cold simply rub lightly near the nose area and you will be relieved. Its also best for insect bites.

Support network

I thought blogging was only for my sake, what I feel, what I think and anything just about me. But this morning, it touched my heart in some way. May be because like my father he has lung cancer, I realized that its a venue where we could comfort our co-bloggers and thus create this support network even if we dont know each other. I know words may not take the cancer away but, I know in someway I could be able to give a smile on his face while reading my words of encouragement.

Goodbye Mr. Crocodile Hunter



Death they say is like a theif in the night. The famous Steve Irwin died yesterday from the tail of a stingray as reported. A fearless person who chases crocodiles and snakes and was very much committed with his quest and passion for animals. Bye bye, farewell, you will always be remembered.

Farewell

We used to be frightened and scared to try
Of things we don't really understand why
We laugh for a moment and start to cry
We were crazy

Now that the end is already here
We reminisce 'bout old yells and cheers
Even if our last hurrahs were never clear

Farewell to you my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't cry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be miles away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you, my friends with you

Yesterday's a treasure, today is here
Tomorrows' on its way, the sky is clear
Thank you for the mem'ries of all the laughters and tears
And not to mention our doubts and our fears
The hypertension we gave to our peers
It's really funny to look back after all of these years

Farewell to you my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't cry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be miles away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you, my friends with you

Farewell to you my friends
We'll see each other again
Don't cry 'cause it's not the end of everything
I may be miles away
But here is where my heart will stay
With you, my friends with you
With you, my friends with only you

On Philippine Idol

Hmmmmm, missed blogging so much. well, well, i guess its a matter of motivation. Im glad I got accepted by Adsense. For the nth attempts I have made a couple of months ago, finally, I got the third chance. Wew!!! Thanks to Adsense, now I will make it a point not to make another mistake.

Philippine Idol,it took almost two months before it was aired on tv and it was something I looked forward to until the big day came. It was like watching a gag show, hehehehehe, aside from those really talented and good singrs and dancers there were those who performed very much less a Philippine idol materialjust like this one,this one , and top of the list this wacky person. Now, tell me, I hope you will agree that its just a one wacky gag show. In fairness, the show really opened my eyes taht Filipinos are really talented, it was an overflow of talent that I have seen in Philippine television.
