Dear Prince Charming,
So yeah I’m kind of done sitting here waiting for you to return my glass slipper. So until you do I’m going to go out and have fun and do whatever I want to do. When you want to be serious. You know where I live. Until then I’m gonna just be me. Sincerely, ME
“I have reservations with the results. If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Hands down, Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point.”

NEW YORK—“Would you like to learn Filipino?”
Ask a very young Filipino-American, and you will most likely draw a blank. It’s okay. He can’t decide for himself yet.
When puberty hits, that’s when it hits them. They can’t communicate with their parents or relatives as much as they want to. Speaking only in English, they feel isolated in family gatherings or Filipino parties.

This is a common misconception among people, I hope it will enlighten your thoughts.
When to use “Thank God”:
“Thank God” is actually a shortened version of “Thanks be to God” which means that you are telling the others (your friends or whoever) that you are thankful to God.
“Thank God” is in the same way as “Praise God”.
“Thank God” is also correct because you are using “Thank” as a verb I (we) thank God.
Unless:
You are praying or directly conversing with God, then you would say “Thanks, God”.
“Thanks, god” should actually mean “Thank You God” if he was in front of you.
“Thanks” is an informal way of saying “Thank You” so highly unlikely to use “Thanks, God” to an almighty being.

Ethan Park: Can’t you not be a princess? Instead of being a princess, can you just be my woman?

Hindi niyo ba alam ginagawa kayong tanga?” - Itchyworms (2006)
Exploiting poor people’s stories para tumaas ang ratings, magmukhang bida at mabait ang host (konti na lang Messiah na), at makalikom ng maraming pera at sponsor. Ganyan ang tingin ng ilan sa istilo ng entertainment ng modern-day Messiah Willie Revillame.
Mula Wowowee hanggang sa Willing-Willie. Kunsabagay, halos wala ng namang pinagkaiba ang formula ng dalawang programang iyon. Matatandaang naghabol pa ang ABS-CBN noon sa TV-5 at sa Wil Productions dahil sa diumano’y copyright infringement ng Willing-Willie sa Wowowee.
Sinasabing ang mga nasabing programa ni Revillame ay puno ng exploitation sa masa at paggawa sa mga itong uto-uto at tanga kapalit ng ligaya (ng mga manonood) at pera.
Pero iyon nga ba ay maituturing na exploitation? O isang mababaw lamang na uri ng kaligayahan at entertainment dala na din ng ilang dekadang ganoon-na-lamang-palagi-ang-format na mga programa? Dahil ba nasanay na ang mga gumagawa ng mga programa na ganoon ang aliw na kinagigiliwan ng masa? Ano nga ba ang naghihiwalay sa exploitation at entertainment?
Leave someone, you have thatright. But the least you can do is tell them why. Bcoz what’s even worse, what’s even more painful than being abandoned, is knowing you’re not even worth an explanation.———-Peter Parker
” whole but numb…… broken but real…..”

for everyone
There are times when I wish that i was LIMITED to certain emotions.. so that i’ll never have to experience PAIN, never FEEL BETRAYED or DISAPPOINTED, and never get my FRAGILE HEART BROKEN. But the same thing means that i’ll NEVER KNOW how it feels to LOVE and BE LOVED in return. The thought of this kind SCARES me…. to have a heart that’s WHOLE but NUMB… or a heart that’s BROKEN but REAL….:(
