RJ (Bruce Willis' voice) realized thru Verne (Gary Shandling) and his family that the real gateway to good life is FAMILY . OVER THE HEDGE is a terrific animated film that the whole family will love. Check out its website here . pix fr www.movies.yahoo.com .

INTRO: i may have run out of songs to sing i may have run out of words to say but all that i want you to know is what i feel for you: i love you as endless as forever our love will stay together you're all i need to be with forevermore there are times when i just want to look at your face with the stars in the night there are times when i just want to feel your embrace in the cold night i just cant believe that you are mine now chorus: you were just a dream that i once knew i never thought i would be right for you i just cant compare you with anything in this world you're all i need to be with forevermore all those years ive longed to hold you in my arms i've been dreaming of you every night, i've been watching all the stars that fall down wishing you would be mine i just cant believe that you are mine now chorus time and again there are these changes that we cannot end as sure as time keeps going on and on my love for you will be forevermore wishing you would be mine i

Yap, yap, yap! VIRNIEL stands for Vir ginia and Da niel. And today is our 8th anniversary as husband & wife! Maybe it's time for a rewind: Sept. 25, 1994 : Dan became my boyfriend (I was only 16 years old (turning 17) and he was 18 then). He's been my bf for four years although ours was more of a long-distance relationship. I was studying in Baguio and he was studying in Manila. But hey! It must be true that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Thanks to JRS Express and LBC -- they bridged the distance between us. And of course, thanks to the phone booth at Baguio Convention Center. During those times that cell phones were not yet commonly used, I kept a lot of coins and used them for calling thru the public phone . Our relationship led to marriage despite distance. Well, it was all because we trusted each other and we treasured every moment we spent together as a couple. Nov. 26, 1998 : The marriage took place. I think this is the most important part of my li

I don't understand why I haven't received the mail I have been waiting for since last week. The mail will just come from the neighbor province -- Tarlac -- but it hasn't reached me till now. Waiting just makes me sick and tired of the mailing system here in the Philippines. I've confirmed from the Internet that the letter (document) I am waiting for has been processed. But I was advised by a colleague to wait for two to four weeks. S H I T ! Grabe na 'to.

I was called a NUISANCE INQUIRER. I was called a LIAR. And the person who called me as such is a pastor. He is a pastor who makes a business out of education. He hires teachers who don't even have Bachelor's degree. He hires teachers who could not even speak in straight English, and if they do, they commit so many grammatical errors. His teachers' salaries are lower than the minimum wage. He orders his teachers to photocopy an entire book on Language and demands students to pay for them. He claimed he asked permission from the author or publisher abroad but I won't believe that there is an author/publisher who would allow a school principal from this country to photocopy his entire book year after year, thereby not gaining any payment/royalty from such publication. I believe that photocopying books for students' use every year is a clear infringement of the copyright law. So who is the liar? I bet, it isn't me. He called me a nuisance inquirer after I went to hi

Take a look at the new criteria for merit award application here in our school: Innovation in one's Core Function 15 pts. Research and Publication 10 Personal and Professional Dev't 20 Involvement in community dev't services 10 Collaboration and teamwork 10 Performance evaluation 25 Attendance 5 Compliance to college/unit req't 5 Hmmm... Isa lang ibig sabihin nito... We should not spend so much time preparing for our teaching because it's only a quarter of the evaluation at the end of the semester. Kaya lang, di naman yata pwede na bawasan ang effort for class teaching para lang ma-meet yung iba pang requirements namin as faculty members. Of course, if the students feel that we are not giving our best because of any reason, it is our name that is at stake, and not just the school's reputation. It's easy to comply with all the requirements in this university but the problem is that we don't have enough time. Imagine, a full-time faculty has 7 three-hour c

I don't understand what kind of Philippine Idol the judges are searching for. And I am not sure if the Filipino people have any idea what kind of Phil. idol is worth their cell phone loads. The judges think that Mau should not be as fat as she is now if she wants the Filipinos to consider her an idol. The judges say that Pow has to change her singing style, and even her image and dressing style, if she doesn't want to be voted off. What about Ken? He doesn't have the looks and the style and he can't boast of an excellent voice and flexible personality. But he survives each week. The remaining male contestants sound as if they are singing at a town fiesta. I don't know what else to say. I just thought it is a lot better to watch PBA games than Philippine Idol. Anyway, I am not impressed with the Phil. Idol contestants. I think some contestants at Pinoy Pop Superstar have more "star" appeal than the Idol contenders.

I'm glad that the issue on the attitude of public servants in this country was opened after it was reported that the presidential daughter, Luli Arroyo, " questioned an immigration officer who had allowed a foreigner to jump the line of passengers waiting to be checked in at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport " ( http://news.inq7.net/archive_article/index.php?ver=1&index=1&story_id=30102 ). On the day that was reported on TV, the media also informed the public that if they have complaints regarding the attitude of the staff/employees at government offices, they could text at ***********. The following day, lots of text messages reached the Civil Service Commission office. As expected, maraming nagreklamo about the attitude of government employees. Totoo naman na napakasungit at napakabagal kumilos ng mga tao sa ilang opisina ng gobyerno. Minsan nga, kahit ang daming nakapila, nagagawa pang magdaldalan ng mga empleyado habang nakatayo ang mga tao. Kahit

I got my wallet back... I couldn't believe it. Somebody took my wallet from my bag last Saturday (I suspect it happened last Saturday). That somebody left the wallet, with all the IDs and ATM cards, at the bathroom water tank. So when I got it back, it's still wet. The janitress told me this morning that one maintenance staff saw it last Saturday. I was advised to get it from the guards' office at the front gate. I couldn't think of anyone who will do that but a student who was enrolling last Saturday. I was here in the office from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. for enrollment of students. I don't remember bringing my wallet somewhere so I was sure that that somebody deliberately took the wallet from my bag which was in on my table. I've been careless... At least, I got the cards and IDs back. Good thing I don't bring much money (and I never bring cell phones in school, my drawers have no lock) because, well, I've learned my lesson-- this is actually t
