More of ANTM cycle 11

2008-11-20T05:37:00.000-08:00

Analeigh was my favorite in this cycle unfortunately her CoverGirl commercial is disappointing. Although her CoverGirl photo is stunning, it didn't help her to make it to the final 2. Mckey put an effort and actually memorized the Ducth script and her commercial is the best of the bunch.

here are their CoverGirl Photos:

Analeigh
Paulina said that she's like an actress.

Sam
The judges said, her smile was forced. (yeah..really fake)
but I love her face and personality too.

Mckey

Modelisque.

So....

ANTM cycle 11 winner!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA,,,,

2008-09-26T02:09:00.000-07:00

This is a lovely poem by Margareth Rigsby and I love it...My dearest Mom is celebrating her 52nd birthday today...We love you and wishing you good health and all the happiness you deserve. Thank you for being the best mom for us.

MAMA

As your grown daughter
looking at you now,
I see reflections of me
as though I were looking
into a mirror.

Memories of you
young and vibrant,
are as clear in my mind
as if I were still a little girl
holding onto your hand.

The lessons you taught me
are always with me,
especially the ones on surviving.
The strength I have inside
is only a shadow of the woman you are.

I wanted you to know
how very much I love you.
Not just because you are my Mother,
but because you are such a special lady.

Margareth Rigsby

A friend most true

I need,
a friend most true
who will help me
in times due.

A friend,
who will stand by me always
and support me when
iam through down days.

A friend in front of whom,
i can think aloud
and to be his/her friend
i would feel proud.

I need a friend,

to make my life beautiful
and always be diamond of my eye.

Someone special,
who will always listen to me,
who will keep my secrets closed
and never let them free.

A friend who will

who will help with my problems
and never go away.

A friend,

just be with me then.

A friend,
to always keep friendship's hue
and prove to be
a friend most true.

Yeah, that's what i need,
A Friend Most True! ! !

Father's Love

2008-06-21T22:04:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone! We just came back from the Church and I think it is nice to share today's God's Word.

Matthew 13:32-34

32Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."

33He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough."

34Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.

Here are the videos about the greatest kind of love. A Fatherly Love....I was deeply touch by these videos. Thanks Dawn for sharing....

Let the weak say, 'I am strong'
Let the poor say, 'I am rich'
Let the blind say, 'I can see'
It's what the Lord has done in me

Nothing much to share today...here are some things i got for this blog...

Your Aura is Blue

Spiritual and calm, you tend to live a quiet but enriching life.

You are very giving of yourself. And it's hard for you to let go of relationships.

The purpose of your life: showing love to other people

Famous blues include: Angelina Jolie, the Dali Lama, Oprah

Careers for you to try: Psychic, Peace Corps Volunteer, Counselor

What Color Is Your Aura?

What Your Sleeping Position Says

You are calm and rational person with a good deal of balance in your life.

Friends consider you to be kind, caring, and truly loyal.

You are easy going and trusting. However, you are too sensible to fall for mind games.

Open to the world, you are not afraid to be yourself.

If you don't get enough sleep, you are: Able to cope

It's hard to sleep next to you because: You're a bed hog

What Does Your Sleeping Position Say About You?

See you next time...

Excited

2008-06-02T23:21:00.000-07:00

I'm always excited to changes, watching my only daughter grow just makes me feel good and inspires me to be the best mom I can be.

I guess the best part of being a parent is to be with their children especially in their early years. When they are still so delicate, fragile and innocent. That's the time when you will feel so important and needed. It's sad when parents especially mothers, leave their children to look for better jobs. Their reason is to prepare them for a better future. Money and education are not the only means to secure their future. The important thing is full guidance and love. Guiding them to be the person they want to be. And guidance starts from the very day they were born. That's parents are made for.

By the way, my 3-yr-old unica hija will be in a nursery this school year. She is as excited as I am...and we are going shopping for some school supplies she will be needing. 'til next time.

Make a Difference

2008-05-15T02:47:00.000-07:00

Today's May 15, in our time. Blog Catalog is encouraging all the bloggers to write about fighting for human rights.

How often do you check your emails? As for me, checking email is a part of my everyday routine. Hoping for news and casual hellos from an old friend and people I know.

I heard news about scams on post office, like they open letters from people working outside the country, hoping for some dollars in it. Finally, when emails are now greatly use by everyone, we still feel some threat in our privacy. There is an issue in China about prisoners like the journalist Shi Tao serving 10-year sentence by sending email. And the worst part of it, yahoo was said to be involved by giving the information to Chinese Government. Do they know the rights called Human Rights? Do we have to interpret the words? Do we have to be deaf and mute on issues alike? What can we do to make a difference? Write...express...write a blog about it. Let every people know...Be heard and make the difference...Unite for Human Rights! Free Shi Tao and all others serving the unjust imprisonment...
