<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">September 19, 2012 has finally arrived! Time to announce the
3 lucky winners of Red Jhelli Shop’s <b>Anniversary
Giveaway Contest!</b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would like to thank everyone who sent their entries! It
surely was heartwarming that the Shop gets to celebrate our 2<sup>nd</sup> year
in the business with all these wonderful people. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">We garnered a total of <b>1,932</b>
valid entries and a total of <b>78 entrants
</b>who followed the set of instructions to the letter. I personally double checked each entry that took me 3
whooping days! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some already liked our facebook page even before the contest,
so I had to check again from their FB account if they still "like" us before considering their entry invalid;
same goes to previous twitter followers. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">Red
Jhelli Shop was established after the proprietor took the Nursing Licensure
Exam way back August 2010. What started as a source of income and diversion,
while waiting for the exam result, soon became a source of challenge and
inspiration to succeed and do more. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">Everything started from trash, from the
capital for the business to the ideas that has defined the Shop now. Our very
first clients were friends, classmates and family members, who later spread the
word and since then supported us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;">Thus,
as we celebrate our second year of being in the business we can’t say thank you
enough to all those who supported us. Indeed, there were times when I just
wanted to quit out of frustration. Running this business was certainly not a
walk in the park.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Women were an oppressed class</b>.
They were the silent sufferers of history, claimed as property, relegated to
home, restricted to have jobs and made into a “breeding dog”, an elaborate
system of oppression in the past needs yet to be recognized as such. For this
oppression was total and has been affecting every facet of women’s lives.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Men have controlled all
political, economic and cultural institutions, using their power to keep women
in an inferior position whose only purpose is to enhance men’s lives. Indeed,
all power <b>throughout history has been male-oriented and male dominated
</b>especially in the family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The power of fathers within
families existed before the formation of Western civilization and was built
into mental constructs, primarily through the influence of the church. Biblical
interpretations based on theological arguments from a male superior group used
core texts of the Bible; namely Genesis, the Fall and St. Paul; to define the
“proper” roles of women. Similarly, according to traditional Hindu custom, a
virtuous woman is considered to be one who worships her husband and derives
great power from her virtue to protect her husband and herself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For two thousand years, these
teachings which dominated church doctrines, dictated women’s submissiveness and
public silence, and were used to justify subordination. By the Middle Ages, two
main assumptions were regarded as basic truths: <b><u>women were created inferior and
for a lesser purpose and by their nature and weaknesses, had greater propensity
towards sin and sexual temptations.</u> </b>These dominated all forms of ideas and
controlled sexual, social and economic relationships, constantly reinforcing
gender stereotypes. This is seen by many as the beginning of gender divisions
of labor and occupational segregation, with women positioned in the society as
the producers of children and the roles of housewife.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Not only that, even in sports
women are considered as inferior to men, as observed during the past 100 years,
little girls from birth are most praised not for their actions but for their
appearance. They are made to think that their bodies are solely objects to
attract men. The so-called fact of a woman’s physical weakness has simply been
accepted as common sense. Other scholars have even dismissed the possibility of
women being able to cope up with hard physical labor. Thus it is very
unimaginable at those times for a woman running around a stadium aiming to win
the 100 meter dash and bag in the gold medal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Worst of all, though things have
changed drastically during the last century, portrayals of women in the media have
only achieved what we can perhaps call as modernity of appearance and
presentation, and not of thought and content. Editorial content and
advertisements in all major newspapers as well as magazines, with exclusive
female readers, reflect negative images of women, a being who is submissive,
frivolous, manipulative, and as decorative objects. In fact, many so-called
women’s magazines promote submissive and docile role models, while discouraging
female characters with independent thoughts as disrespectful and ill mannered.
Women are more often shown in “home-bound” activities such as cooking,
cleaning, knitting and gardening. The way women are presented in the media can
easily be codified in categories such as: a woman dependent on man; an
over-achieving housewife; a high-living femme fatale; as physically beautiful
and sexy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Such roles persuade women that
their role on the society, regardless of education or aspirations, is only that
of a housewife and making themselves loom beautiful. Continued harmful images
of women are shown to children from the early stages of infancy, they learn to accept
stereotypes – women have limited intellect; they are good for only house bound
activities; they are non-serious and therefore cannot be trusted with
independent decision making as the norm. Indeed, the images of women have not
changed much during the past five decades. The media continues to be male
dominated, manipulated by commercial interests and does much damage through its
portrayal of women as sex objects and as a group that plays secondary roles to
men.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But as they say,<u><b> no one is
oppressed until one lets herself to be</b></u>. Therefore, women should not live up to
the image of being weak for by doing this, they are making it a self-fulfilling
prophecy. All moral actions that women do, involve an element of courage, yet
when women are viewed as weak by themselves and others, they expect less of
themselves and less is expected of them. Their actions reflect this, as with
their accomplishments. To gain some freedom, women must overcome their fear of
men and the sense of their own powerlessness. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<ol style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Gender
inequality only exists when you let it</b>. I have long ago accepted that as a
person, regardless of me being a woman has her own limitations but never let other
people dictate what your limitations are.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span></span></li>

a woman who measures herself against the achievements of a man lacks ambition.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span></span></span> </span></li>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I grew up reading fairytales and watching Disney movies. But
I never once dreamed of being a Princess and of finding a Prince to save me
with a kiss and marry me in the end.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I just liked the stories about everlasting love and happily
ever after and all that singing and dancing one expects from Disney.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was expecting the same old formula of a princess in a dire
situation waiting for a prince to come, but Princess and the Frog proved to be
otherwise. Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise when finally, Disney made a very
different take of the original’s Princess and the Frog storyline and mind you,
I was happy Tiana was not a princess.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am never to promote women looking doe-eyed and being a
damsel in distress. Instead, I’m all out for women empowerment! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cleopatra was actually some of the women I look up too and
finally I can add Tiana to the list, though she certainly is fictional but the
strength of her character and the self-determination to realize her dreams and
not relying on wishing stars makes her more of a real woman than most other
women.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Aside from the story emphasizing about a woman’s dream and
her strong relationship with her father, the story reflected a very modern view
of today’s world. That being poor is not a hindrance to having dreams and that
men and women can both having very high positions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was a funny fact too that Prince Naveen, being a Prince
had no money and had to marry a rich heiress to continue his “princely
lifestyle” aside from his lack of responsibility which is common among the
pampered youth of this generation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Overall, Princess and the Frog is not your typical Disney
film though the dialogue is quite boring but the characters are well developed
and the moral lesson it promotes makes up for the lousy story sequence and
pace.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So I’m ending this review to what Tiana’s father said to her
in the start of the movie - follow your dreams but never lose sight of what’s
important.</span></div>Jhellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18313215451960764185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922714116566368391.post-64776822566134055412012-07-04T20:19:00.004+08:002012-07-04T20:21:53.597+08:00Something Wonderful (by Judith McNaught)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It would be pretty weird to start a book review with the story’s
ending but what gripped me most about Judith McNaught’s “Something Wonderful”
was the parting dialogue between Alexandra and Jordan. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Indeed, it was “Something Wonderful”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I haven’t read a book from Judith McNaught that I did not
like and trust me when I say she belongs to the few numbered authors in my list
whose works I will not second guess in buying.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I’m a romantic at heart and Judith McNaught is a great
romance story teller. You would expect that writing Romance Novels is an easy task.
You just need two people to fall in love set within a ridiculous situation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But I tell you, after reading my way through all those romance
novels be it in English or Tagalong since age 10, romance novels can get pretty
boring fast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It seems all authors have the same plot with boring
dialogues, horrible characters and unbelievable situations, so reading “Something
Wonderful” was a breath of fresh air.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I spent the whole night reading it and mind you, I read it
from start to finish, without skipping a page! I cried at the end.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Full marks would have been given but the story has the same
element as the rest of her books, you’d expect the same thing. But what makes
Judith McNaught’s works different is how good she writes every single story.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am an emotional reader if there is such a thing, I do not
visualize the sentences - I try to feel them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Judith McNaught writes as if she believes her own story. I
can feel the passion; I can feel her very emotion. This made “Something
Wonderful” so alive and believable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In the story, Alexandra developed from an innocent child to
a woman of the world, who believed in love and happy endings only to realize
that true love is far more complex.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Jordan was a cynical man, a man of the world were love can
be easily bought, who realized after a near brush with death that love takes a
lot of trust.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I would not write an insincere review if I had no strong
feelings for the book. It taught me a lot of things about love, especially how
you view it when you are seventeen and how it can quickly change when you get
your heart broken.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If you are interested to cry, feel free to do so. Read the
book.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Red Jhelli Shop had its first ever photos shoot last May 25,
2012, and boy preparing for the event was exhausting! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was almost cancelled much to my consternation!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was about to panic
when the photographer I booked decided to cancel a week before the appointed
date, not only that, I was waiting for the confirmation of USC Main to allow us
to do the shoot there.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I booked the shoot on 8:00 am and was traveling all the way
from my hometown to the Café. I was not able to sleep the night before and had
to wake up really early to cook for everybody’s breakfast and lunch - and no I’m
not complaining.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Needless to say, I had a lot of fun during the shoot. It was such a pleasure working
with Jay aside from the fact that the models for the shoot were
my former clients. They were really just enjoying themselves and the pictures
can attest to that.</span></div>

<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Yet another blog post filled with crappy photos. Hahaha.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, last June 30 I went to SM Cebu to buy a gift for a
friend’s wedding (Mind and Ramon congratulations!) and decided to 'de-stress'
myself from all the drama by indulging in things I find decadent.</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I.e. bought new books to read (Paulo Coelho’s Like the Flowing River and
Martha Cecilia’s Kristine Series 54: The <i>Bodyguards</i>: <i>Tennessee</i>)</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> and fed myself with food I
rarely eat.</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I have noticed this latest craze in Milk Tea and decided to join
the bandwagon. My first ever milk tea was Dimsum Break’s Milk Tea with Pearl
Balls, price is okay and the taste is okay. Let us all just say I’m not picky when it comes to a food’s
taste as long as it is “not too and so little”. I’m rather concerned with how

<span style="font-size: small;">Then I remembered my sister raving about Bubble Bee Tea
House, so yeah? Why not right? It would belong to food I rarely eat category.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The store is located at SM Northwing Cebu 2nd Level beside Forever21. One thing I
immediately noticed about the store was its interior - well-lighted and exudes
that cozy feeling you have at home. I especially liked the low hanging lights but the store is
quite small and started to feel stuffy when a lot of customers showed up.</span></div>

to imagine what a wintermelon tastes like to no avail, so I’m not sure if I
actually tasted it or it was all just the milk?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">― by
Rosemarie Urquico<br /><br />Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead
of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many
books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has
had a library card since she was twelve.<br /><br />Find a girl who reads.
You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in
her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the
bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she
wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a
secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling
the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.<br /><br />She’s the
girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you
take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because
she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s
making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do
not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.<br /><br />Buy her another cup of coffee.<br /><br />Let
her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the
first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood
James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask
her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.<br /><br />It’s easy
to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for
Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry and
in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you
understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the
difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to
make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your
fault if she does.<br /><br />She has to give it a shot somehow.<br /><br />Lie
to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie.
Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It
will not be the end of the world.<br /><br />Fail her. Because a girl who
reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls
who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can
always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be
the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.<br /><br />Why be
frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand
that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.<br /><br />If
you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM
clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and
hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always
come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real,
because for a while, they always are.<br /><br />You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.<br /><br />You
will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled
out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives,
have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will
introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the
same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she
will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your
boots.<br /><br />Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a
girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can
only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then
you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it,
date a girl who reads.<br /><br />Or better yet, date a girl who writes.<br /><br /><b>Disclaimer:</b><br /><br />I wish I was witty enough to write such an inspiring article! Unfortunately, the muses were not that generous to me :( so a big shout out to <u>Rosemarie Urquico</u> for bringing justice to book nerds and writers. Hope everyone lands a date! :) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Before I start with my review, I would to apologize for the crappy photos. I do not have the slightest idea about how bloggers have problems with the lighting or the angle, all I know is I just took these photos and that’s it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Quite ironic coming from someone who used to be the President of the Arts and Photography Club. Ooppss…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I always had a problem with lipsticks and lip gloss. I have very dry lips and I can name a few of the most famous brands that only ends up drying my lips more (i.e. Max Factor, Revlon, Ever Bilena, Maybelline, Nichido, In2it, Etude). It’s the same with lip gloss, the color doesn’t show AND it ends up making me look like I just ate something oily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, I always end up buying a lot of lipsticks and lip gloss that I rarely use. A total waste of money. Sigh. >_<<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So I was really happy when Mary Kay released their new lip products! I had their Nourishine Lip Gloss before in Melon Sorbet and for the first time in a LONG time I finally found a lip gloss I could use everyday (it’s almost empty now, surprisingly!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Hearing this news, I quickly ordered one for myself and one for my mom! Hell, if they deliver the same benefits as my previous lip gloss from them then I’m definitely purchasing one!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As usual, I was not disappointed with the results and understood right away why the word PLUS was added to the name of the product. It certainly was more than I bargained for! Like PLUS-PLUS-PLUS!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I certainly love the color, the moisture and the shine it provides unlike other lip glosses that only delivers the shine but not the color while others deliver the color but not the shine. So I’m very happy that I can have both in one product. Plus, looking at my glossed out lips reminds me of Angie’s famous puckers. LOL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Before I start this article, I would just like to make it clear that yes, I am Senior Beauty Consultant in Mary Kay. (I know I have a lot of ‘slashies’ accompanied to my name and trust me my sidelines are not down to four! You can just imagine whenever all my commitments decide to hold meetings on the same day, on the same time and on different locations!) But I am in no way advertising Mary Kay or is forcing anybody to buy. My opinion is in no way the opinion of the company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">In fact, I have decided to make reviews regarding the products I personally use or I have best information of. I think it is not a crime to share information right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Besides I will be sharing a lot about the things I learned on how to take care of the skin but I’m in no way claiming to be an expert. If you have further information / suggestion / question, feel free to comment below!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">I was pleasantly surprised last Saturday during our unit meeting when Ate Marg informed us that the Botanical Effects had an upgrade! Instead of a 5 step skin care routine it was down to 3! Boy was I happy to hear this! Trust me, I’m too lazy to perform that 5 step skin routine: cleanse, freshen, exfoliate, moisturize and mask.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">I am not as meticulous as my sister when it comes to everything! But I swear it pays off on her side of the planet! She doesn’t patronize soft drinks, doesn’t sleep late, does the cleanse - moisturize routine before sleeping every single day! I feel like an old hag standing next to her! Her skin is fabulous! And her hands! so soft…huhuhu (it’s partly because she hardly does any work<insert evil laugh> and because she carries a hand lotion with her all the time..^_^)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">So yes, if I had to take that Smiley Skin Index I’d probably score the 0 to 4 (Your skin is feeling OK). You can take the test to and check out if your skin is smiling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">I feel ashamed knowing how awful my skin must feel. Being busy sure is not an excuse to have horrible skin and look like a hag. You can’t have great skin if you don’t work hard for it! I certainly don’t believe that Korean women have great skin with just the use of their beauty products. They must have a rigid beauty regimen, diet, and manage a stress free life!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">No amount of expensive beauty products can make your skin look good if you don’t take care of it. Moreover, make-up cannot hide horrible skin. It shows. Trust me guys, it shows! Tried hiding my ‘sleep-less’ look with make-up and it only resulted to me looking like I was about to crack!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Ate Marg also explained to us all about the product’s ingredients and how it is important for people to understand that even though we use the word BOTANICAL in our new line of product, it does not mean that synthetic ingredients are not added because if you purely use botanical ingredients then the product could not last for a month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Maybe it’s just a misconception or some products capitalizing on how their products ONLY USE botanical for ingredients because of the fact that people want to go ‘natural’. So don’t believe everything you hear without doing research first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Standards of practice vary in different settings. Society is ever-changing and nurses respond to change. Respect for the rights and dignity of individuals is basic to the practice of the profession.</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">These words are as quoted from the amended Code of Ethics for Nurses, it defines and specifies what nurses ought to do and what not to do. This foreword is the very core of Nursing professionalism and ethical conduct.</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But what does it really mean? Over the years, this phrase has lost its meaning, together with the aging of time. Like an old song playing in the radio, <b>good to remember but not enough to be thought of.</b></span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Have we paused and assessed ourselves what has become the professional nurse within us? Have we forgotten that before we start our shift we would ask God to bless our days work? That may He help us overcome our temporal weakness so that the sick placed in our care would not be lost?</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If so, then why have we turned like this? Maybe<b> Bro went dea</b>f or maybe we never really prayed. Because if we did, we would have never shouted at the poor mother who is about to give birth for her lack of common sense, never mind that she is in the throes of labor. We would have not broken the rules of sterility by letting our nieces and nephews inside the delivery room wearing their muddy slippers, afterall our patients are indigents they are resistant to infection. Lastly, we would have not brought our camera phones to take pictures of what is to be a <b>sacred event of saving lives</b>.</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I thought we are professionals that we know our Ethics, but I guess <b>arriving twenty minutes late and under timing is not part of that</b>.</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> But then, why am I preaching? The pay is low, the economy is falling. The world is experiencing hard times and patients should do also. Afterall, the world should be fair, now to make it fairer, <b>how do our student nurses fair</b>?</span></div>
<div style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If I remember correctly, the patient’s bill of rights states that the patient has the right to expect that communications and records pertaining to his or her care shall be treated as confidential. So talking about patients who have tuberculosis on carenderias and patients who have AIDS on jeepney rides are not included. Duty time is over and its no longer inside the hospital. It just so happens that we feel so sorry for them we can’t help but talk about their cases. Besides, our Clinical Instructors do that and so does the rest of the staff, what was that saying again? Ang maling ginagawa ng mga matatanda ay tama sa mga mata ng bata, where can one possibly get wrong with that?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Indeed revisions of the Code of Ethics were made and the patient’s bill of rights is now deemed obsolete, <b>unfortunately the rest of us were not informed of these changes.</b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hopefully as I look around me, I would see nurses who do their best in providing quality care to patients. That some would never cease to give medications on time or extend their hours just so that proper endorsements to the next shift are made. And best of all, I would love to hear patients thanking nurses for the services they have rendered to them.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Indeed, these negative issues surrounding the nursing profession, hopefully does not stand for the rest of us. Yes, some would have already given up this thankless job, but as what Meredith Gray once said “I have a million reasons to give up this job but I have only one reason to stay.”</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In a stress related job, what is actually good and what is bad, when both lines become blurred? In the end, we would come to realize that people make mistakes and such is the reason why the Code of Ethics was made. To constantly remind us of the things we are starting to forget.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Let us all remember that nursing is not merely a profession but a vocation that needs a lot of love. As stated earlier, health is a fundamental right of every individual and we as nurses should always hold these thoughts above everything else.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span">It is the time of year again when people give flowers and chocolates without raising suspicion. Yes! I am talking about the</span><i> <span class="Apple-style-span">Love Month – February</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span">!</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">According to the Georgian calendar, February is the second month of the year, and also the shortest month. In the northern half of the world, February is a very cold month while in the Southern hemisphere, especially in the Philippines, we enjoy the midsummer weather a perfect weather for all those lovebirds going out for a date. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">For such, we strongly believe that the appropriate Lens for the Month should suit the warm glow of a lover’s gaze. What better lens to give off that effect?</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> None other than the <u><b>Princess Mimi Almond Brown</b><b> (XMM – 204</b><b>)</b></u>, the latest of GEO’s Premium Design!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">They are not yellow-ish brown like most other brown lenses on the market but it's not too dark either. They are a perfect deep brown which is the secret to how natural they look. The almond color of these lenses will make your eyes look a little lighter and accentuate your eye color.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The black ring around the outside also perfectly defines the iris; it blends well with your eyes and makes your eyes stand out more. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Its magnifying effect is of the natural side, not too exaggerating but just nice. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Perfect size, not too alien like!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ever watched Hunter x Hunter and got scared by Hisoka’s murderous aura? Or dreamt of Kazuki (Get Backers) trying to steal a kiss? Or worse, recorded the opening song of Knight Hunters (a.k.a Weiss Kreuz)? Well, these are just few of my sordid actions in relation to my obsession with anything anime.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, it was such a great pleasure when a cosplayer client and later friend (Hans Garmino) ~.^ told me that I can have a booth set up for the Okakufest V cosplay event. I was already screaming my heads off even if there was no confirmation yet from the organizer.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: small;">So I was really happy when I get to have my own booth to not 1 but 2 cosplay events in Cebu! Finally, I can have the excuse of attending the event as a seller and not a failing cosplayer. :D</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A series of unfortunate events is an apt title to my roller coaster life. Got my right hand burned after putting it inside a boiling rice cooker when I was just a year old. My caretaker placed the thing on the floor without the cover and curious me just couldn’t help but “test the waters”.<b> Curiosity will really get the cat killed</b>.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Luckily, my right hand is the only thing that suffered, no contractures just a few skin grafts. Thank God for saving my face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And no, I bear no grudge to my caretaker even if I can’t even remember her face. In a way, it was her carelessness that led to the accident. I mean, you are supposed to take care of a child and to be safety conscious; I just hope it became a lesson to her. If by chance she reads this, rest your soul. I have long forgiven you. Some things just happen. :D</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But then, that accident should have been a warning sign that it is not all that is left in store for me. I happily chugged on a bottle of muriatic acid when I was a few years old. I can only remember waking up in the Emergency Room with a doctor forcing me to drink “Alpine”. It was later when I came of age that my parents told me what I actually drank and how I was the “accident prone” child.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">By accident I meant being run over the bike (no fractured bones, just a few scratches though), almost got run over by a bus, breaking an aquarium at my school’s science laboratory and all those little accidents I had over high school.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I thought it was all over when I entered college. I lasted 3 years without having those accidents but it would just not easily let me off the hook. I just had to fall from the stairs.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So I was actually being my helpful self when I was asked to perform Breast Examination to a number of ladies in the Pink Room at iMez, when I decided to try and examine my breasts. Lo and behold, I felt a lump at my right breast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Ironic is it not? I can only remember the very lines of the ladies who had their breasts examined - to tell them honestly if I felt a lump while keeping a brave face. I actually felt sorry for them, I have seen breast cancer survivors and they really are doing everything they can. The emotional stress and their stories of chemotherapy, it was a 180 degrees turn from their way of life before cancer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I was mentally debating whether to tell my mom or just let it pass. Women of my age, rarely get breast cancer. A form of "intellectualization" if you may, I was scared. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span">But then, my uncle lost his battle against pancreatic cancer.</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I decided to tell my mom, <b>fear comes from the unknown</b> they said. Her eyes went wide when she actually felt the lump. She got around to scolding me about not eating vegetables and not exercising (my mom is a school nurse). I therefore concluded anger was her best defense mechanism while my dad resorted to joking (his form of coping) that of all the children, I just had to be the casualty.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I wouldn’t have made a fuss if it was just a simple cyst, but it was a <b>solid mass</b>. I had it checked again with my Doctor; she said it was <b>Fibrocystic Adenoma</b>. Being a nurse myself, <i>I knew what that meant.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There are actually two types of fibroadenoma (for those who don’t know): simple and complex.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Lucky me, sonommamogram showed complex fibroadenoma. I was already crying in the middle of the procedure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">My mom told me to stop crying, she was there during the procedure (such a stage mom, LOL) and to fight. She even resorted to telling me that “cancer is just in the books”. By that, I knew that the results were not that good.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> (complex fibroadenoma is a marker for breast cancer)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But let me make it clear, it’s not cancer yet. I need to undergo Fine Needle Aspiration for final confirmation. It’s just that I fell under the BIRAD 3 Category, the probably benign finding. I would have loved to belonged to BIRAD 2 Category – benign finding, because <b>I hate the word probably.</b> :D</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I would be lying if I did not say I never became depressed. I was crying for a few days even before the sonommamogram. I kept thinking I am too young to have this. Simple cysts are fine; you can almost say its normal, but to have fibroadenoma my age - sucks.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In one of my horrid imaginations, it was like most women my age are just starting out on their way to womanhood and trying to find their place in the world, enjoying dates, enjoying boys. But here I am, on my way to dying, then I realized, it’s me being<i> m-e-l-o-d-r-a-m-a-t-i-c</i>.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Looking back, I realized that I have been prepared to take on this challenge. All those little accidents I had when I was younger and all those hardships I went through had made me stronger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I am proud to say that even with all those things, I have never contemplated suicide. Being in those accidents taught me at an early age that life is too precious to be simply taken away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Whatever the confirmatory results are, may it be benign or malignant, be it now or in the future, I want to put on paper: that I shall continue to live and fulfill my dreams.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I may not be dying today or in the near future, but I certainly want to live life. For now, this is just another challenge on my way to success. With my Creator on my side, and the people I love most, having my own Hospital is just around the corner.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have lived with books for as long as I can remember. I eat them for breakfast, especially when I am so eager to finish the story. I sleep with them on rainy nights when I just wish to reminisce a particular scene.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I talk to them when I don’t understand them and best of all, my fondest memories of them are in the bathroom. Yes, I read books when I am using the toilet.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If you happened to be like most kids during my age, I bet Toy Kingdom was a great go to place, or if not, Bibo or any gaming center. But for me and my sister, the only place we won’t ever get lost going to was National Bookstore.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Maybe because books were the only things that could help us escape our “realities” back then. My parents happened to be very strict about a lot of things, from no boyfriends to no going out of the house to play; it was the only thing that colored our lives, aside from each other. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But fairy tales where my most favorite! My mom bought us all the fairytale stories she could get and we read all of them. And until now, the book I consider as the best among the rest is “Beauty and the Beast”. I’m a hopeless romantic, I know. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But then Tagalog Novels came and soon became my addiction. By 10 years old, I was no longer naive to the words “kissing”, “petting” and “sex”. Blame it to the person who brought the blasted book to the house. It has replaced my fairytale stories and I began to collect them.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Being exposed to books all my life has developed within me a habit of sorts. I would read the end first before taking the time to read the beginning. If the end was any good, I would try reading the first few starting chapters until such a time when a particular chapter starts to drag. I would skip it and proceed to the succeeding exciting chapter until I finish the book.</span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So yes, there are only a few books that I have read from cover to cover but those kinds of books, I would never forget.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In a way, reading books matured me and broadened my horizons without having me leave the safety of my home. I have journeyed the Carpathian Mountains a couple of times, been to the heart of dreaming visiting my old friend Morpheus. Talked to Sun Tzu, traveled with Gulliver and had done a lot of things actual reality could not offer. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I wish a lot of people would come to realize that investing in books are not a waste. No matter how pretty you are, when your brain is empty you will always be a small character in the background, not the lead of the story.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So if you wish to be your very own hero, travel to Europe without paying for a plane ticket, buy a book. Read. </span><br />
