We all know that the late Simeon Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. is considered as one of our heroes. He was killed by unknown people by the time the stepped out of his plane when he went back here in the Philippines many years ago. We all know our history.

When the people knew about his coming home, they hoped that he could be the next president of the country because of their dislike in the Marcos Regime. But unfortunately, it didn’t happen. Instead, his wife Mrs. Corazon Aquino was appointed as president through People Power.

Just yesterday, Simeon Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III was proclaimed as the new president of RP. They say that being a president is a destiny. Every thing happens for a reason, and for whatever reason that Noynoy was elected as our new president, I am glad that a “Benigno” finally made it on top.

It is not wrong to be thrifty at times especially in our present economic condition. Nowadays, i could see a lot of things in the market that are not very pleasing for me. What am i talking about? this is about those makeups for sale. I am very much concern about this because i already have my daughters who are on their “tween” period and who likes to buy accessories and makeups to make them beautiful and charming. But this not only for them, this is for all the ladies out there who are fond of buying makeups in the market.

We are all aware that branded makeups are expensive but don’t make that a reason to substitute buying bargain makeups in the market. Don’t be fooled by those makeups that can be seen in the market branded as Revlon, Bobbie, or Shiseido. These items could be expired or even just an imitation of the original one. These items can do harm to your skin so be careful, buy makeups to official distributors and don’t forget to read the label and expiration date.

We Filipinos are fond of eating. Food is part of our culture. We have different and unique dishes in every part of the country. We have the famous Bangus Dagupan, empananda and longganisa of Vigan, Bicol Express and so many more. We actually eat 5 times a day! Could you imagine that?

I also love to eat and my most favorite part is the “snack time”. And you what is my favorite snack? None other than the crispy chicharon bulaklak! Yes indeed, the very mouthwatering chicharon. I love it with spicy vinegar. If I am not mistaken, we have different kinds of chicharon nowadays. Unlike before, we only have pork chicharon. But now, we also have vegetable chicharon for health conscious people because pork chicharon is very high in cholesterol. That is why I always make sure to exercise regularly to maintain a healthy body and to flush away those bad cholesterol brought by that yummy chicharon.

Summer vacation will soon be over in a couple of weeks now. Students will be going back to school. Have their usual routine; exams, quizzes, homework, projects and a lot more. I am very sure that many moms are also getting ready for their kids’ “back to school” days. They are maybe buying school stuffs like bags, notebooks, pencil, etc. and I am also very sure that half of the student population is not that excited to go back to school because of some “students” reason. I have already been there. I also once wished that summer vacation will never end. But now I realized that education for the youth of today is very much important, they should not take it for granted but they should take it seriously because it is also for their own good. Now, I am wishing that I could be a student again, but that would never happen anymore because as a grown up, I should take responsibilities in my family and try to work harder for a good life.

Doing things together with your partner, for me, is one of the most enjoyable things to do. Aside from strengthening your bond, it can also maintain the intimacy between the two of you. Some couples nowadays lack in intimacy. After a couple of years of engagement or marriage, the what they called “spice” is slowly fading.

Both of you are not definitely getting any younger and don’t reason out that intimacy is only for young couples because that is so not true! If you are getting old, it doesn’t mean that you should both loose the intimacy or the interest between the two of you. Instead, you should also have to increase your intimacy as you grow older. How can this be possible? Well, simply do the things that you usually do to stay intimate when you were both still young. Like going to movies and having dinner for two. If you already have your kids, make sure to still have some time together, alone.

It is all but natural to have petty quarrels, but be sure to fix it before sleeping, that’s the most important part. And lastly, always have something special to give or to do before the week ends.
