CORY AQUINO: Her Legacy Will Continue and Flourish Forever.

"As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it. " ~ CORAZON C. AQUINO. She was the first woman to run for President in the Philippines. Corazon Aquino was attending law school when she met her future husband, Benigno Aquino, who was assassinated in 1983 when he returned to the Philippines to renew his opposition to President Ferdinand Marcos. Corazon Aquino ran for President against Marcos, and she won the seat despite Marcos' attempt to portray himself the winner.

The Philippines is now praying for the fast recovery of Pres. Cory C. Aquino. I know that her family is really in the hard times right now. Our prayers and sympathy is for you and your family. More than a President, she is a mother, a grand mother, a wife and a friend to some. I believe that she is an icon in Philippine Politics and Democracy. The best thing ever happened to her, though she lost a husband, she regained Philippine Democracy and Freedom. More that she can give to her fellowmen. She is a mother of peaceful power. An inspiration to the many and motivation for a better Philippines to the young ones.

Her family is lucky enough to have her though painful to see. We may don't know what will happened to her but for sure she will be forever remain in Philippine History and our Hearts. as she quoted: "I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life. "

Ma'am Cory is lucky enough to gain that experience and be in that situation for there is nothing more she can ask for. I believed that he fulfilled all the things she want to do and we should continue what she had started. Our prayers are with you Ma'am... We love you... The FILIPINO PEOPLE LOVES YOU!!! We will never forget your Legacy!!!

WHEN YOUR LIFE SUCKS: Who's to be BLAMED?

To be alive. To pursue a positive and satisfying existence. To enjoy the journey... This is Life! Have you ever wondered that you've been always caught and tangled in life's misery? LIFE SUCKS?

I my self also been in that situation, feeling down and troubled. Everything in me is very heavy and tend to blame it with other people. Yes, you got it right, I ended up blaming other people because of my misery. Sometimes there are situations that won't happened before if you won't be able to meet these people or get into situations wherein you have been involved by the same persons. I always blame people around me.

In reality, in every action we have or committed, nobody is forcing us to do so. Each and everyone of us have its own freewill. We decide for our selves and choose our own option for our own life. If somebody is forcing you to do so, you still have that option, not to follow or follow it. Let us put in this situation, due to poverty some people can't go to school for EDUCATION, but there are living proofs that some people in poverty overcome that. If they succeeded in that why can't you do it? Sometimes we just contented of what we have and never tried to strive more. Actually we are capable of doing it. We just feel weak and there goes this so called self pity, resulting to blame people around us. Blaming our own parents or friends in failures we have. Have we realized that this is our own life to govern and the sole responsible with it is yourself?

Its time to change that thing, to add up also my friends, if we stumble or fall down in our lives , that makes us a better individual. Though life is harsh and that we need to feel pain in order to learn lessons. Its a way for us to be more prepared in handling future situations which are more worst that what we encountered today. Accept to your self that you fail and change everything that leads you to that situation and certainly move on with life. Just like what MOTHER THERESA said "LIFE IS A PROMISE; FULFILL IT".

MARICAR REYES: After the STORM Still Standing Tall.

Clouds come floating to your life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to your sunset sky. A long while ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.

So much of the VIDEO SCANDALS, These stories are over and its time to move on. As to Maricar Reyes who is involved also from this issue is gaining support from people. She maybe been silent during the times this when these scandals was just like circus and even went up to the SENATE. I know that there are a lot of speculations regarding what will happened to her. Her silence somehow make her more alienated to people and somehow been away with the limelight and focused her life how to struggle and to survive all of this.


According to a friend (close o her family) Maricar came from a good and respected family. She is educated and a good friend as well. So much to tell about her personally. My aim her is that After everything that happened she stood head high and continue life. Bravo!!! She was good with her latest guesting in "MY BUKAS PA" showned in ABS-CBN Primetime show. She also have a new show every Sunday "YOUR SONG PRESENTS: Gaano Kita Kamahal" where she take the lead role. It simply shows that she is now the hottest personalities in Philippine Showbiz. I know that this opportunities are just the beginning for her. Her chance is here now and its up to us if we will give her that chance.



She has a face of an angel and I believe that she will be surviving showbiz. I believe with her capacity and her optimism to be good with her craft. Apathy can be overcome by enthusiasm, and enthusiasm can only be aroused by two things: first, an ideal, with takes the imagination by storm, and second, a definite intelligible plan for carrying that ideal into practice. Even though there are a lot of people condemned her with that act. I believe that every one deserve a second chance.
