Once was lost but finally found.
Besides yours, who do you think deserves "The Best Mother in the World" award?
Submitted by Connie.
I think that I am one of the few lucky people who were pampered by one or two of their grandparents. I didn't learn how to cook at an early age because lola did the cooking for us. I didn't do laundry until I was in fourth year high school because she did it for us. But this doesn't make her "The Best Mother in the World".
She is the best because she was able to raise her own children amidst adversities of life. She never had a regular source of income. During harvest times she'll work for the owners of rice fields and there she gets her pay. She work an extra mile by making kakanin to sell to our neighbors. And she never got tired of it. She was even able to extend financial help to her nephews and nieces. One of her nephews came by to our house one day and he cried to my lola. He said, "I will never forget that day when Auntie gave me 20 pesos just to be able to ride that bus going to Manila. That 20 bucks sent me to where I am and my family today." But at that time, lola can no longer recognize him. Hearing those remarks from the people she helped just revealed to me one thing - the best legacy we can leave on earth is beyond material - it's how we loved, touched and blessed other people's lives.
In honor of World Teachers' Day today, tell us about a teacher who had a positive impact on your life.
That would be Mrs. Lucena Fernandez. My adviser in first year highschool. She basically teaches English and General Science. Most of my schoolmates would call her "Lucifer" because of her strictness and her angry-look everytime she's not happy about your actions. But I learned to love her. I did learn so many things from her and I always consider her as my inspiration (well that's apart from God and my family). For every mistake I make, she always have that frank reaction which sometimes offend me but it made me a better person by taking her criticisms positively. Thanks Ma'am Lucing!

What were your New Year's resolutions for 2006? How did you do?
I'm not the type of person who sets resolutions every New Year's day. I usually forget them. Hehehe. Although, I try as much as I can to out do what I have done the previous year and correct whatever my wrongdoings are. Cause what I really wanna do is to start and end the year right. I just pray that, through the Lord's guidance, I live for His glory.
Happy new year!
What is your favorite board game?
Submitted by I'm Unique.
I know how to play chess and scrabble but they are not actually my favorite.
What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your appearance?
Submitted by Laurie.
I am afraid of doing experiments on my appearance. Really, I even don't apply make-up. I'm just not an adventurous person.
What's your dream career?
Submitted by Something.
Back when I was a kid, I was imagining myself holding a briefcase, wearing a black miniskirt, a coat with pointed shoes while working inside my spacious room as an executive. Before I finish High School, I wanted to be a lawyer (because of the John Grisham Novels that I read). In college, I just wanted to land in a job with the government. However, life seems to have too many surprises for me, I never became a lawyer or an executive officer. I worked in the government twice but the private sector keeps on pulling me to it. I'm taking up my Masters in Labor and Industrial Relations because right now, the field of Human Resource Management and Development is enticing. Not of course because of pay but more of fulfilling what I really want. And I finally realize that HR work is fulfilling, despite the potholes.
What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
Submitted by Vee.
Stay in my room with a book and hot chocolate. I love rainy days. I feel so relaxed. That's when I don't have to go out for work though. Just hate it when I need to get up early and go to work...with all the floods and traffic...grrrr!
