Marian Rivera and Richard Gutierrez together again

After my Bestfriend's Girlfriend, Richard and Marian will be together again in their next project "Full House".

GMA bought the rights for the highest-rating koreanovela on Philippine television, Full House. When GMA Network aired the Korean series in 2004, it received a peak rating of 52%. Now the kapuso network has decided to make it’s own Philippine version of the show.
As of this post, the leading man role is still reserved for Richard Gutierrez (who will soon star in the local remake of Zorro). He will play the role of “Justine”, originally portrayed by Asian Heartthrob Rain. The role of Jessie Han, the female lead in Full House, is reserved for Marian Rivera. But of course, it will only be possible if Marian’s schedule will allow her to be the local “Jessie Han.”

Both Marian Rivera and Richard Gutierrez have a new primetime series to be launched soon. Marian is paired again with Dingdong Dantes for the remake of the classic thriller “Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang.” Richard, on the other hand, is starring the the local tv remake of the Mexican legend “Zorro.”

Palawan - Natural Sanctuary of the World

Palawan Coral Reef

Palawan is an elongated island-province southwest of Mindoro, it is a 55 minute flight from Manila. It is rich in natural resources and boasts of exotic wildlife, white sand beaches, world class snorkeling and scuba diving. Also known as "the last frontier", it is a haven for adventure seekers and nature lovers.

Calauit Island in Northern Palawan is a national park and teeming with Palawan's rare and endangered species of flora and fauna.

The Tabon Caves in Southern Palawan is a 29-cave complex of archaeological artifacts and fossilized bones of the Tabon man. The skull is carbon dated to be 22,000 years old. Dive spots in Palawan are plentiful, with each site offering a unique array of marine life. The Tubbataha Reefs are the best dive spots in the area.

The island province of Palawan has been declared as a natural sanctuary of the world, and for good reason. It is wrapped in a mantel of rainforests, outstanding dive sites, majestic mountains, primeval caves, and pristine beaches. It is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colorful marine life. It boasts of exotic flora and fauna, like the mousedeer and the scaly anteater, that are found nowhere else.

Palawan waters are among the best in the world, not only for diving but also for fishing. A diver’s paradise, it has miles of sub- surface coral and rainbow reef walls whish surround the coasts and coves teeming with rich marine life.

The El Nido Marine Reserve in Miniloc, El Nido, occupying an area of 96,000 hectares, is a popular nature spot in the province.

It is now one of the country’s premier destinations, blessed with amazing natural scenery, and considered as sanctuary for various forms of wildlife.

Sta. Lourdes Tagbanua, Puerto Princesa City is where Honda Bay can be seen. The bay consists of several islets with shallow reefs, bordering fabulous beaches and small resorts which have become the favorite water sports destination of local and foreign tourists alike.

The year of the OX

These years: 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997 are year of the Ox
People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

The year of the Ox is just what’s needed to clean up any mess and clutter left by the Rat. The Ox is not as he appears and should not be underestimated or considered slow or unaware.

The Ox is the quintessential hardworking, conventional cleaner-upper who will put everything back in order and turn chaos back into reason.

There is no room for anyone looking for a free ride during an Ox year. Hard work pays and laziness does not. It’s a plain-and-simple, cut-and-dried, yes-and-no type year. It’s a year to get papers in order and your life back on track, and to do whatever it takes to budget and plan for your financial future, lessening the stress and securing your position. Tradition will be important and keeping order and making sure that everyone plays by the rules a must.

The Ox doesn’t care for sob stories or those looking for a handout. There is nothing less appealing to an Ox than someone wanting his or her way paid for. You must gain respect through your actions if you want to fare well during the year of the Ox.

Fairies could be harmless and harmful

I'm so interested with fairies since I was a child. I love to read and listen to stories about them. Fairies world is so enchanting and mysterious. Location of these elementary beings has varied throughout time and culture. They are said to live in trees, leaves, flowers, in the horizon; other under their own feet; others live in hills, in lakes; other live in the perfum of flowers and all that is natural around us. Summing up, air, water, earth and fire are the four elements where elementary spirits are contained.
The world of fairies are not only the world of beauty and enchantment but are also of a huge ugliness, of insensitive shallowness, humour, malice, joy and inspiration, fear, laughter, love, and tragedy. They are like us humans sometimes harmless and sometimes dangerous. That is why we have to be careful and extreme caution should be taken inorder to penetrate into this world, as nothing is more irritating to fairies than several human beings curiously moving around their extraordinary dominions, like spoiled tourists. Love, but also abandonmentand death follows under their spell.

I read some information about Fairies. Many Fairies are said to eat berries, fruit, nectar and even leafs. Some Fairies can "borrow" food from humans, like cheese, wheat, butter and even meat. They also like to borrow things, sometimes they are called the burrowers. Fairies love to have big parties. They are spontaneous.They love colorful things. Some Fairies are immortal and can live very long. They can still look young.
Sometimes a Fairy can marry a human to get a soul, so they can go to heavenwhen they die. But it happens that a Fairy
steals a baby also to get a soul, and then leaves a little bell.
Fairies shall be treated with big respect. Because if not they could mean harm.They can be called "The kind people"
and "The little people" because most of the time they are really helpful and because of their size. They are also said to be the protector of the earth.

color trends for 2009

Fashion or anything that we wear or use, we always consider the color. Color is very important.
According to Color Marketing Group, the leading international non-profit association of color design professionals, has been accurately predicting color trends for more than 45 years the hot color trends for 2009 are the following:

Purple, Purple, Purple!

Emerging as a hot fashion color last fall, purple is not just a fad -- it's an entrenched trend, strongly influenced by the election. (After all, red plus blue equals purple.) Look for a greyed-out violet that works equally well as an accent or a neutral, as well as redder, plummier purples and bluer-influenced fuchsias in a huge range of products. Purple is 2009's "must have" color.

Blue is the New Green

Various greens have symbolized "green living" over the last few years, but in 2009 the "green" environmental message is delivered by the color blue. There are watery blues, sky blues and a whole range of blues that now represent our commitment to living on a greener planet.

Cooled-down, Greyed-out Browns and Greys

Complex neutrals satisfy our urge toward classic colors in an economically challenged time. They also bridge the area between black, which seems harsh, and brown, which doesn't seem strong enough.

Yellow for Energy

The neutrals may have greyed, but look for lots and lots of bright vivid yellow to give us energy as we re-build the economy. It's the stand-out accent color for 2009.

Bright Accents from India, China, and Turkey

The exotic has become the familiar. Oranges, turquoises and teals, reds, and yellows will abound in hues from far-away countries that now seem very near. They are the optimistic touches we crave.

White is now a Business Color

Technology has produced amazing new (and very practical) finishes, which helps explain why white is showing up everywhere, even in corporate board rooms. The contrasts are all in the finishes: matte versus gloss; shine and shimmer on reflective surfaces; textured whites versus smooth -- all washable and cleanable. White also represents purity of thought, motive and result - exactly what we want from businesses now.

The Return of the "M" Word

It's mauve. Remember mauve? An old color that looks new again, in dusty violet shades, mauve works as an accent but also serves now as a neutral, punched up by those bright Asian accents (orange, turquoise, teal, red, and yellow)

American ghost at Johnson's

I was in my second year in College. My boardmates decided to go ghost hunting in the University we attended. We explore the University, taking pictures everywhere hoping that a ghost will appear in the picture. At first I did not believe that the white images on the pictures were real. We went to Johnson's and we also took pictures there. The picture that was taken at Johnson's made me believe more that ghost are really real. On that picture was a head! Yes a head of a man, an american I guess, smiling. It's so clear. He's smiling. If only that picture that was saved on the computer did not dissappear, it would be an evidence.

Fairies are real

We always ask ourselves or other people if fairies are real. Most of the children believe the fairies are real. Yes, they are real. I really believe they are real although I haven't seen one. It's like believing angels, and God without seeing them. My parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other people that I have talked to had their own experience about fairies, ghosts, and other paranormal things.
When I was just a little girl, I always asked my grandparents and my mother to tell me stories based on their experience and encounters of witches we call it "aswang", fairies, dwarfs, and other paranormal being. There were a lot of unexplained beings during my grandparents time but they said it slowly vanished because of the civilization and because of the technologies. They said most of them moved in forests far from civilization.
There are different kinds of fairies they said. The most familiar fairy that I heard are what we call "engkanto" have their own world. They can be seen if they want to be seen. They are also capable of loving human beings. They court humans and most of the time use their magic. They also transform into human like us but theres a little difference. They appear to be very attractive, handsome men and gorgeous women. If they bring you to their place you should not eat their food or drink their water for you will never return home. They have rice which is color black. Most of their foods are color black.
There were a lot of true stories about people who were abducted by engkanto. They were physically present, appeared to be sleeping but their soul is in the engkanto's kingdom.
We believe that they are the keeper of the nature. That is why, there were stories that most of the people who attempted to cut down some trees in some areas in our town got sick or even died. Some machines used to cut down trees were damaged.
They are real. I believe.
