</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Teens come in all shapes, sizes, and colors with their own likes (and dislikes). In the middle of this unique mélange of shapes, size and colors, there is a common dilemma that most of them face – acne. Almost 8 out of 10 teens have acne and people think that having acne is normal – an unavoidable part of puberty.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> Acne usually appears when skin pores get clogged up under the skin. Washing your face daily with a mild soap and water can help keep your skin clean and free of pimple breakouts. But a lot of times, this is not enough and you get to the point where you need to find out “How to get this pimple off my skin before someone sees it!”</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In the Philippines, unstable marriages are frowned upon. Husbands who choose to leave their wives are flippantly pronounced as irresponsible while wives who decide to step out of their marriage are judged as self-centered and bear the brunt of the blame for the failure of the marriage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Generally, failed marriages are a stigma in Philippine society. Wives are expected to kowtow to what her husband dictates, and sacrifice everything to have a stable marriage, turning a blind eye to illicit affairs, verbal abuse, beatings and all. A lot of data has already been churned out regarding abuses occurring in marriages but these results mirror just a small speck of reality. A lot of women hide behind a façade of ‘white picket fences’ to mask the sad state of their marriage for fear of being thought of as failures. This means it is society that pressures wives to turn a blind eye on anything that may wreck the marriage, accepting their ‘fate’ in life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Declaring that a marriage has broken down is generally a disgrace in Philippine society. In fact, it is difficult to find a legal remedy to a broken marriage. The only solution allowed by the <a href="http://jlp-law.com/laws?article=executive-order-no-209-family-code-of-the-philippines">Family Code</a> is the <a href="http://jlp-law.com/blog/annulment-divorce-legal-separation-in-the-philippines-questions-and-answers/">annulment</a> of a marriage (on option eagerly utilized by showbiz couples who want to get out of ill-advised, broken marriages). A married couple whose relationship has broken down can file for an annulment of their marriage. In simple terms, this means the couple wants the courts to declare that their marriage had never taken place. Ever. An annulment burns that piece of paper called a Marriage Contract and blows it to the wind. It also allows the pair to freely enter into another marriage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An annulment is different from a divorce. A married couple that divorces accepts that they entered a union; but has now decided to end it; and go their separate ways. Divorce changes a couple’s status from being M (Married) to S (Single), allowing them to have the choice of entering once more into another marriage. <a href="http://atheism.about.com/b/2005/05/23/divorce-in-the-philippines.htm">Divorce</a>, as an option, is not available to married couples in the Philippines at present.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A law allowing divorce is not included in the Family Code. Although there is a <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/35838190/House-Bill-No-1799-An-Act-Introducing-Divorce-in-the-Philippines">divorce bill</a> filed in <a href="http://www.congress.gov.ph/">Congress</a>, it has few overt supporters among lawmakers. This reluctance to support the passing of a law allowing divorce in the Philippines mirrors Philippine society’s generally negative view on it, fueling the lawmakers aversion to anything that may offend their predominantly Catholic constituents, many arguing that the Philippines is <a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/lifestyle/08/18/10/philippines-ready-divorce">not ready for divorce</a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The provision for annulment in the <a href="http://jlp-law.com/laws?article=executive-order-no-209-family-code-of-the-philippines">Family Code</a> is the only available venue (at present) for resolving broken down marriages. This has caused indignation among progressive women’s groups like <a href="http://www.gabrielawomensparty.net/">Gabriela</a>, who are exposed to cases of marital violence everyday. However, most victims or marital abuse and violence prefer to quietly bear their marital burdens, afraid to upset their families, and unwilling to admit to their perceived ‘failure’ in keeping the marriage strong. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This distorted perception of a woman’s role in a marriage is irrevocably tied to the issue of annulment and divorce in the Philippines. It is one of the many stumbling blocks towards having the “<a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/35838190/House-Bill-No-1799-An-Act-Introducing-Divorce-in-the-Philippines">option to avail of remedies that will pave the way for the attainment of their (women’s’) full human development and self- fulfillment and the protection of their human rights</a>”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The difficulty in obtaining an annulment and the absence of divorce has certainly brought a lot of pain and unnecessary social consequences for those who are in the middle of this situation. It is our hope that ordinary people who are trapped in broken marriages are able to find justice and fairness in the legal arena soon.</span><br />

Moreover, the group rendered a superb performance that creatively played out the chic fashion and tropical inspired lifestyle espoused by the said Brazilian footwear brands. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

But you absolutely have to put up that website, it is absolutely essential for your business. So you go to the experts to solve your website construction and hosting problem. Just when you think all your problems are solved you experience crappy service after initial construction and paying them for the job. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

Most people complain about crappy customer service after hiring a web hosting company.

It all takes a toll on your skin. Here's what you can do to help slow down the clock. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

At Clinique that starts with dermatologist-developed 3-Step Skin Care. Twice-a-day is the recommended routine. Cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize to get—and keep—skin radiant, glowing. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span style="color: #85a095;"><span class="subhead" style="color: #303030; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #85a095;">Always protect the skin and eyes from the sun.</span> </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span class="body" style="color: black; font-size: 11px;">Sun exposure is harmful to natural collagen. Be vigilant about using a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen daily. And wear a hat and sunglasses to protect skin and eyes when you're in direct sunlight. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

No way.</span></span> </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><span class="body" style="color: black; font-size: 11px;">Smoking prematurely ages skin by damaging blood vessels and limiting skin's ability to self-repair. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

Avoid processed carbohydrates and excess sugars, which have been shown to cause damage to collagen and elastin. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />

Get your 8 hours and you'll notice a difference.

It is a remarkable tool that connects people around the world with a simple touch of a button.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Internet users can easily pass and share text, images, sound and videos with one another. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a perfect venue for companies and individuals to advertise and sell their products.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consumers can browse and go shopping online without the hassle of leaving the house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Internet makes things easier and more convenient.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH">Unfortunately, the Internet has a negative side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People with bad intentions can manipulate information shared online and use it to their advantage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cyber-bullying is one of the terrible things that someone can experience online. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Crime_Prevention_Council" title="National Crime Prevention Council">National Crime Prevention Council</a>'s defines cyber bullying as a situation "when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH">Cyber bullying can come in different forms. It can be as simple as sending an e-mail to someone repeatedly even though the said person expressed that he does not want further contact from the sender.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may also involve something as serious as threats, sending below the belt comments and criticisms online and posting false facts with the goal of humiliating the person.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH">A cyber bully can either disclose his real identity in websites and forums but he may also choose to hide behind an alias.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In worse cases, a cyber-bully can pose as the identity of his cyber victim in order to bring shame to that person.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-PH">Cyber-bullying is a scary reality. Kids can fall prey to abusive people online. It is important to supervise kids when using the Internet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Explain to them that it’s dangerous to talk to strangers online just like it’s dangerous to talk to strangers in the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let them know that it’s dangerous to share personal information online. Adults should also be extra careful in divulging important information online.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Make sure you only share personal facts to trusted online sites. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Many people say that corruption causes poverty. While this is surely true, it is also more the other way around : poverty causes corruption. Root out poverty, empower the people with the means to live well and rise above their station in life, and you can eliminate the need to beg, to steal, to kill. It is certainly important to eliminate corruption, especially those that happen in high places because they affect the most people. But equally important is the need to address the heart of poverty.

Children will be more receptive to it if they see that you are doing the same.</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Sunscreen Products</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">If you have sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist on the best types of sunscreen for you. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Generally, use sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or more. The SPF indicates the amount of protection against sunburn, which is caused mainly by UVB rays. Choose a sunscreen that is water resistant and check the "use by" or expiry date on the bottle, as some ingredients in sunscreen break down over time. Always apply the product to clean, dry skin 15- 30 minutes before you go into the sun so your skin has time to absorb the product, and reapply once you get outside. <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Sunscreen-101---What-You-Should-Know-About-SPF,-UVA,-UVB,-and-the-FDA&id=2635780">Make sure that you apply it liberally</a> and reapply it every two hours, or more frequently if washed, rubbed, or sweated off. You don't need to use expensive brands - the cheaper brands are just as effective if they are used properly. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Also, <a href="http://www.skincancerinfoline.com/sunscreen-protection.html">remember never to use sunscreen in order to spend longer in the sun - it should only be used to increase your protection. <o:p></o:p></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in;text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The next question is, what specific sunscreen product or how much SPF (sun protection factor) is right for you?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Because we have a wide variety of sunscreen products available in the market today, you might want to consider the following basic factors in choosing the appropriate product for you, according to ezinearticles.com:</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">1. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Ingredients:<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Most sunscreen products are manufactured with ingredients against UVA rays, and / or UVB rays (which are in fact more harmful for sun burning than UVA rays).

Are they organic/safe, or do they contain potentially harmful chemicals?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">2. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">SPF<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Ezinearticles.com defines the SPF number on the label of the product as “the strength of protection, and the length of time a sun-screening product will allow your skin to be in the sun without burning - relative to the length of time bare skin (or skin without the product applied) would burn or redden.”</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">In other words, the <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Some-Facts-About-Sunscreen&id=120172">SPF</a> number tells people how much longer they can last out in the sun with protection for their skin, without being burned. SPF is a standard measurement for measuring the effectiveness of sunscreen. The higher the SPF of your chosen product, the higher the amount of protection it can give you.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">3. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Skin Type<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">In choosing a sunscreen product, it’s important to consider your skin type and how it reacts with exposure to the sun.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Skin care articles on <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Skin-Types,-Sunscreen-Products-and-SPF&id=10956">Ezinearticles.com</a> recommend the following:</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">For children ages 6 months+, consider a product with SPF of 15 or higher to protect against both sun tanning and burning. Choose a product that lists protection against both UVA and UVB rays (also known as the "broad-spectrum"), and one that is fragrance- , preservatives- or chemical-free.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Skin Type - <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Very Fair:</b> This skin type generally burns quickly. Tanning is rare.

Some tanning can occur, although not much. Choose sunscreen products containing SPF 12 to 20.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Skin Type – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Light:</b> This skin type burns in the moderate range. Tanning is normally gradual, yielding a light brown shade. Choose sunscreen products containing SPF 8 to 12.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Skin Type – <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Medium:</b> This skin type burns in the minimal range.

Choose sunscreen products containing SPF 2 to 4.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Skin Type – Other: This skin type includes people with moles (or history of moles), people with skin cancer in their family histories (including melanoma), and people with very fair skin and hair. According to the site articles, this is a high-risk category for health damage from too much UV exposure. Thus, choose sunscreen products with the highest SPF available, combined with light to moderate sun exposure.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">In the past, people thought of sunscreen with SPF as necessary only for beach or poolside activities, and had no clue on the numbers behind it. Now, people are becoming more and more aware of products with SPF and how they should be used everyday for maximum skin protection. No matter what brand you choose, it doesn’t hurt (literally and figuratively) to make sure that the number on the label is the appropriate one for you. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>Wenchiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08140811022772135722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122222538066364529.post-508642240990037392010-03-19T21:12:00.010+08:002010-03-19T22:21:04.471+08:00Ipanema's Colorful Sea Collection<div style="text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">A <st1:place st="on"><st1:placetype st="on">Sea</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename st="on">Style</st1:placename></st1:place></b></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Ipanema Gisele B</b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;">u</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">ndchen launches new “<st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Colorful</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Sea</st1:placetype></st1:place>” collection<o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal"><o:p> </o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on">Ipanema</st1:city>, <st1:country-region st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region></st1:place>.

This milestone marks a “second wind” of sorts after all, a time when all the planning and hard work in the past two decades slowly comes to fruition. The prospect of seeing one’s efforts and projects settle on a more stable platform, from where it can be further concretized and grow, can, I suppose, give one that invigorating feeling of living life anew.<br /></span></p><div style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;">But then again no second wind, however strong, would be enough to give you a breath of fresh air if your health is shot by that time due to neglect.

Even if the flesh is weak, the spirit remains quite willing and insistent on the need to dump the junk food, moderate the intake of the sodium and the carbs, and get on some sort of fitness regimen.

There are about 150 kids who participated. They danced with the mascot, ate merienda, joined our contest and before going home, we gave them goodies for their families as well. This is a yearly activity for our family, to give back and share what we have been blessed with. And my kids really enjoyed sharing their new toys with them.<br /><br />After the activity, my family went to Rockwell to relax and have dinner. We went to Mongkok for their hot soup, mixed veggies and beef steak. When my kids have read the menu, they asked me for some money. And there, they all disappeared. It turned out they all went to Rustan's grocery and bought Real Leaf green tea for each of them because the resto is not serving one yet.<br /><br />Of course, I have to take pics before they consume their favorite drinks. Now, our weekly grocery cart has lots of Real Leaf green tea, my fave is the one with lychee...Cheers!<br /></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Wenchiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08140811022772135722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122222538066364529.post-44499414568803661622009-12-06T11:09:00.005+08:002009-12-06T11:20:19.443+08:00Chocolate Walnut Fudge by Red Ribbon...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ud444FsjFJ1FM4UGqYyGHtiSPn-7CTD73VUI8Un93_cQbp56wFhLljPFsDwE8a7tuACl3vPnhYyewOJCuoVSl5QkqczoMV4t-9HM2lAtBw4ZXzEoTdv9ppfTypECMmwpacekq-_Enlk/s1600-h/Product+Shot.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 254px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ud444FsjFJ1FM4UGqYyGHtiSPn-7CTD73VUI8Un93_cQbp56wFhLljPFsDwE8a7tuACl3vPnhYyewOJCuoVSl5QkqczoMV4t-9HM2lAtBw4ZXzEoTdv9ppfTypECMmwpacekq-_Enlk/s400/Product+Shot.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411956725421699874" border="0" /></a>

Have you made up your mind who among the many candidates you will vote for? What would be your criteria for choosing your candidates?</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></strong></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">It is so sad that there are self-seeking interests and ambition within the government and even in the church. People are seeking to play king, obsessed for position and recognition by others. Such self-serving interests and ambition often lead affluent candidates to place advertisements and hold press conferences to gain influence in an attempt to promote their own agenda. Sadly, these advertisements and press conferences often result in spreading rumors and tearing others down in an attempt at self-promotion.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">These people think they have the gift of saving people. They see it as their calling to save all the poor, and enrich their lives. But most often such people have hidden agenda behind their actions. It’s not really love at all, but a way to promote themselves.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Although the call to serve is universal, some of us may have the wrong idea of service. We do not need to hold public office to be able to serve people. We do not need to have a title or position to serve our neighbors in need. We only are required to fulfill the duties placed before us by God in whatever state of life we are in with great love for God and our neighbor. We can give life to that love by doing our ordinary duties extraordinarily well for God’s glory. We can volunteer for ministries in the church or any non-government organization. We have to keep our eyes open to the needs of the world around us.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">One has to mind his own life and affairs first, and it would involve getting one’s spiritual life in order, getting the planks out of one’s own eye that one might have the ability to help others in their failures and difficulties. How do we know who among these candidates who openly declare that they love the Filipino people so much are sincere? What we need to see is faithfulness—lives that back up their job or business with works and a walk consistent with their talk.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">We cannot trust somebody who does not truly love God. How can somebody say that he loves God whom he does not see when he cannot sincerely love his neighbors whom he sees? How can somebody who cannot remain faithful with his/her spouse be faithful with the whole Filipino nation?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Who are those who, as children of the light, walk after the example of the Lord Jesus Christ? Who are those who abide in Christ by faith and walk in the pursuit of growth in love and holiness? Who are those with a real heart of service for the poor without any vested interest? Who are those who do not exploit and use the poor for their own self-seeking ambition? People who really love God are those people who obey and try to please Him in whatever they say and do, with or without any press people watching.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">John Paul II said, “The deepest joy there is in life is the joy that comes from God, and is found in Jesus Christ.” We can find joy in serving God and ministering to His people. John 10:10 says, “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” An abundant life is a life of love and holiness. A life of love and holiness is a life shared with others in service, not necessarily having the highest office in the government.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Exercising our right to vote is no joke. It comes with a big responsibility. The future of our nation especially the younger generation is in our hands. Let us pray hard. God uses emotions and conscience to speak to us. Come election time, listen to your heart, then go out and vote</span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">.</span></span></p></div></span></div>Wenchiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08140811022772135722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122222538066364529.post-53188626489754247332009-09-23T20:49:00.009+08:002009-09-23T22:28:57.682+08:00Let There Be White...<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Red Ribbon launched its newest cake last Thursday, September 17 and I was privileged to be served with one....the White Forest Cake.<br /><br />The Red Ribbon White Forest is made with creamy white chocolate and light, moist white chiffon cake layered between real cherry bits filing and a fusion of cream and white chocolate flakes. The cake is gloriously crowned with beautiful cream rosettes with luscious long-stemmed, red maraschino cherries on top. It is enrobed in and generously finished with melt-in-the mouth white chocolate shavings. One can't help but feel delight with the unique, heavenly taste of this combination of flavors when tasted. This harmony of white is definitely a sight to behold and taste!

Kids enjoyed going back and forth on the giant slide, swim in the pool of balls, endless jumps on the trampoline and many more sweat-inducing games. We all had so much fun, as shown by the wet hair of our kiddos and wide smile on their faces.<br /><br />Now that the Christmas season is fast approaching, we mommies can shop all we want while our kids will also have a blast at Active Fun.<br /><br />For the rates, please check <a href="http://www.activefun.ph">Active Fun</a>.

I love to take my kids on a food trip weekly. One of the resto we've been coming back to is Conti's. We have tried dining at the Trinoma and Greenhills branches and the food is still great wherever...<br /><br />Must try is the baked salmon and of course, don't go home yet without tasting their famous Mango Bravo.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpU9TWroW6XbrDL6BwjZ2j52eUdVR1kXBzNO_jtwXmIbI5Y6WIuPXshJraqHc-QaAYTRjShJ6LSSBkZJequTd33yVVFBElycAize_n4biGPU5OJR0xR3bgooHANVeOQIFUInq3DG4Tbnw/s1600-h/tiramisu.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;
