26 ways to commemorate Ninoy's death anniversary.....

To commemorate Ninoy's death and Cory's life listed 26 things commit to on Ninoy's Aquino's 26 death anniversary. Some of these have to do with the coming elections while others are things that all Filipinos should be doing in our daily lives.
1. I will register and vote in the 2010 elections.
2. I will actively review all the platforms and background of the candidates and choose with my conscience who to vote for.
3. I will actively support the candidates I vote for.
4. I will actively engage my preferred candidates in discussions in support of their good programs and to influence them to support other programs that I believe to be positive.
5. Despite automation, I will support citizen's efforts to safeguard the ballot.
6. I will think through all issues clearly and keep myself informed so that I can make better decisions about them.
7.I will do my work to the best of my ability so that I become a source of pride and inspiration, and not of shame, to my family, friends and public.
8. I will support all efforts to promote peace and justice that will positively impact the lives of the majority of our people.
9. I will use whatever celebrity status I have to promote causes that will uplift the consciousness of our people in ways that empower them.
10. I will work for the passage of the reproductive health bill in this Congress, or in the next one.
11. I will not refrain from speaking my mind on issues, especially those that pertain to how the arts and media sectors can be more responsible to our public.
12. I will continue to write and sing songs that inspire and elevate the spirit and sensibilities of my audience.
13. I will make myself knowledgeable about grassroots issues in my immediate neighborhood and help in any way I can in resolving the problems in my community.
14 I will strive to live a more environmentally correct lifestyle. For one, I will bring my own water (bottled fromhome sources) so that I will not need to buy bottled water and pollute the landfills with plastic.
15. I will live as simply as I can.
16. I will support efforts that will make higher quality education more accessible to more people.
17. I will read literature in Pilipino so I can communicate and discuss things more intelligently with more of our countrymen.
18. I will take personal responsibility for all my actions.
19. I will strive to get out of the habit of blaming anyone when something goes wrong, and instead offer
solutions when possible.
20. I will continue recycling conscientiously at home.
21. I will write to the media and encourage others to make their views, opinions and objections known when
government  and other institutions, including the media itself, cross the line.
22. I will obey all laws and follow traffic rules to the letter.
23. I will never bribe my way out of any situation.
24. I will support and show appreciation when I see government officials and functionaries doing their jobs well.
25. I will keep my home and every environment I inhabit clean and grabage free.
26. I will support and encourage excellence and correct thinking when I see It among our countrymen and I will bring home, from every place I visit in the world, lessons that can help make life better for our countrymen here at home.
     But it is one of the legacies Ninoy left behind, when he and Cory helped us get our freedoms back, that we no longer have to die for our country. Instead, we are called to live for it with commitment and integrity. This civic call can no longer remain unheeded. It is time to stop playing deaf. It is time to listen, and to act.

"COMEDY KING" DOLPHY

 Dolphy might just as well be describing himself in the context of local entertainment,because there is no doubt that in the Philippines, he is Comedy King. And to think all he just wanted was to dance.
  Brought to Sampaguita Pictures to portray sidekick roles, Dolphy won votes over two other choices for the role of Gloria/Gorio in the iconic Mars Ravelo film "Jack En Jill." It was to be a pioneering role, making the actor way ahead of his time in portraying gay roles.
  "We would go to Hong Kong and Japan to workas entertainers in the '50s.,kaya ako ang unang japayuki. Ako din yata ang unang lumabas nang bakla talaga, at hindi lang lalakeng nagbibihis babae," quipped Dolphy who ia Rodolfo Vera Quizon in real life.
  Today,Dolphy has outlasted all his contemporaries, remaining strongly on top of his game. The stats say it all - 81 years old, 65 years of success in showville, about 175 movies, a dozen successful TV series, 18 children, scores of grandchildren, hundreds of friends, thousands of believers, one true love, and zero regret. Dolphy says he cannot ask for anything anymore.
  "Thanksgiving, it's mostly thanksgiving everytime I pray, and a good life for may loved ones. Masyado ako sigurong mahal nung nasa taas, yung biyaya, yung blessing Niya, sobra sobra," he humbly stated.
  One thing Dolphy said he has in common with Michael Jackson was their favorite song " Smile" by Charlie Chaplin. This is a song that speaks about showing a happy face despite gruelling heartaches. It may also just
as well speak about the way Dolphy has lived his life. Be it in or out of the limelight, he keeps in mind that his mission is to make the Filipino smile,laugh even.
  Dolphy stories nostalgic and hopeful,funny and sad, reminiscing the good  old days and admonishing young people not only to look forward to the present but more importantly to always look back and learn from the past.

Have some pretty good feedback . Actually she was surprise she didn't know people were very interested in baking and desserts and people have been asking for more recipes. There's a lot of interest generated. And she think the fact that they will be a longer show because of the increasing sponsors reflects that," remarked Sam proudly.
Like her other shows in QTV-11 like "Sam's Quest" and "Events Inc.," "True Confections" is another show she enjoys hosting especially when it comes to being priveleged of getting to savor the "sinful" desserts prepared by her world-class chefs!
Seriously, I come in here and start eating, eating, and tasting all these desserts. Seriously, all that they cook in the kitchen is very good. I would always say that whenever I eat one that would not eat anything anymore because I'm so sick with sweets already.But then they make the next one which I think is really good, I couldn't resist of course....." smiled Sam.

YOUR PET ANIMAL AND YOU

Each animal that you choose to be your companion,to be your loyal and close friend, reveals your qualities and character, just as having no pets at all.Read on if you want to know something about yourself, your friend, or even the person you are planning to be with for the rest of your life.

WHAT YOUR PET SAYS ABOUT YOU
DOG- If you love these canine creatures, you treasure loyalty and sincerety.You are a loyal and a sincere friend. The number of pets, though, also means something. Having too many dog signifies fear and insecurity. Having one or two signifies security, and makes you the one person in the family who will give that sense of security to the people you care for and love. This assures the people around you that you are capable of giving enough support for their endeavors. The size of a dog doesn't have that much of meaning though.

CAT- Having a cat inside the house is different from having a cat that stays outside the house. Generally, having a cat shows a childlike attitude in a person. He or She is soft-spoken and seldom gets into confrontational behavior. They usually back off from any argument and keep the pain to themselves. Children who love cats are the ones who have the tendency to leave home once scolded of any issue whatsoever, especially when they believe that they were not at fault or when they feel they were unjustly mishandled. Having a cat inside the house signifies that the owner is a homebody and enjoys his/her home. Having a cat outside your home signifies adventurism.

FISH- Owning a fish signifies that the owner desires to be rich. The good point is that having fish pets at home can bring luck and wealth if you know the right placements. Yes every person and his house has its own chi or energy area where the full potential of gaining the good in life is at hand. The basic rule is one must maintain clean water in the tank or pond all the time. Having dirty and mossy water in your pets abode generates negative energy not only to the pets, but also to your home. My advice is do not get an aquarium or a fish pond if you do not have the time and effort to maintain it.People who love pet fishes are generous friends. They love to give gifts that are extravagant and expensive for they want their friend to be happy with them. Though they don't expect you to give them expensive gifts on their special days like birthdays, they will take it as a bad sign of your friendship or relationship if you forget to greet them on special days.

RABBIT- Having a rabbit means the person is very active and loves going out; he never stays at one place in his lifetime. So expect moving to several places in his lifetime. So, expect moving to several places of work and residences if you are with people who love to have rabbits as pets. The negative side of people who love rabbits is that they are too secretive with their emotions, most especially once they are hurt.They do easily forget the pain even when the other party returns with a positive move or reconciliation.

BIRD- People who love birds have no clear objective in life. Though they have plans and goals they get bored most times, or easily give up on trials that may come to their lives.Like a bird they fly away at the sight of an enemy or adversary. The only good thing with bird persons is that they are quiet and peace-loving people, but do retaliate once provoked or caught. They choose to spend life alone more often than not.

MOUSE/MICE- These are the people who think a lot, but move less. They always dream and want things to go their way, but they want it to come easy. Many of these easy going rat-persons become successful as easily as they desired.

INSECTS- Any kind of an insect pet is a sign of kind-hearted people
. They are loving and caring but the downside of this is that they are vulnerable to abuse. They cannot differentiate what is too much and what is not.

No Pets- Having no pets even for once or wanting it so much but, never coming to own one is a dangerous sign. There is a big problem in their hearts and in their minds. These are people who usually break down when there are big problems and trials. They resort to violence
and most of the time run away from the realities of the world. They can be picky and fussy to a fault. Most are self focused uncaring or indifferent to many aspects of life.
The true indication of a real pet lover is that your personally are the one caring and tending to them. You spend time with the animals and creatures, feeding, bathing,caressing them and creatures,feeding, bathing,
caressing them and finding quality time that would be memorable to you for the rest of your life, even once in your lifetime. A person with no pet is almost nonexistent, but there are those who never had or would rather not have one at all. That's sad isn't it?
