Former President Cory dies of colon cancer
"My profound sympathy to the family ,we will always remember you Mrs. Cory, Your huge contributions you've impart to all filifinos will always be in our hearts forever and may your legacy would be a inspiration for the future leaders.'
Herewith the related article taken from abs-cbn online
MANILA - Former President Corazon Cojuangco Aquino passed away Saturday morning after battling colon cancer for more than a year. She was 76. "Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m. August 1, 2009 of cardio respiratory arrest. She would have wanted us to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continued love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and our country. Hinihiling po ng aming pamilya ang konting panahon para makasama namin ang aming mahal na ina," a statement from the Aquino family read. Details of the former president's wake will be announced later, the family said. Once a reluctant housewife, Aquino was known as an icon of Philippine democracy after the EDSA 'People Power' revolution removed the Marcos dictatorship and restored democracy in the Southeast Asian archipelago in 1986. Aquino served as the nation's president until 1992 when she gave way to her successor, President Fidel Ramos. Even in retirement, she remained in the public eye and continued to speak out on political issues.In March 2008 her family announced that Aquino had colon cancer. Various healing masses had been held in different parts of the country after she was confined at the Makati Medical Center starting June 25. Thousands attended the masses praying that one of of the world's democracy icons would recover. Prayers and get-well messages were also posted on her website, coryaquino.ph. Last Monday, the Aquino family said Mrs. Aquino's condition had turned to "guarded" due to her fluctuating blood pressure. On the same day, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo started her State of the Nation Address by leading a moment of silence for her predecessor.Her son, Senator Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III, confirmed that the former leader's cancer had already spread to her liver."Her weakened condition does not allow chemotherapy. We have reached the point where you're not sure if the intervention will help or worsen the condition," he told reporters.Last week, her supporters tied yellow ribbons along Times St. and Examiner St. in Quezon City near Mrs. Aquino's residence, and also outside the Makati Medical Center, symbolizing hope and prayers for her recovery and as a show of support for Philippine democracy.
People power
Aquino was propelled to the Philippines presidency in the 'People Power' revolution in 1986.For three days in February of that year, the world watched as the woman in a bright yellow dress led millions in a peaceful uprising that toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos, who had ruled with an iron fist for two decades.During the next six years, Aquino -- a devout Roman Catholic – led the restoration of democracy and changed the country's Constitution.But her presidency was marred by at least six failed military coups, political squabbling, insurgent attacks and her failure to change a political system dominated by elite family clans.Time magazine in 2006 named Aquino one of Asia's heroes, praising her "quiet courage" and describing her as "the symbol of People Power and an inspiration to others around the world struggling against tyranny."On June 25, Aquino was brought to the Makati Medical Center due to loss of appetite. She reportedly refused further medical treatment. Family members were by her side and the country prayed for her recovery.Privilege and wealthBorn into the Cojuangco clan in the northern province of Tarlac on January 25, 1933, Aquino was a product of privilege, power and wealth.Educated in the United States and Manila, she entertained no political ambitions -- but all that changed when she met and married Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., a bright young journalist from another prominent Tarlac clan, in 1954.Ninoy was seen by many to be a president in the making, but for Marcos, the then-senator was a threat. In September 1972, Marcos declared martial law and jailed hundreds of his opponents and critics, including Ninoy.Corazon Aquino helped keep the opposition alive, speaking out on behalf of her husband and demanding change.Aquino assassination In 1983, against the advice of friends, Ninoy flew back to the Philippines from exile in Boston to seek an audience with the ailing Marcos. But before he could even get off the plane, he was gunned down by assassins.His grief-stricken widow flew back to the Philippines, where she was quickly thrust into the role of uniting the opposition."I don't seek vengeance, only justice, not only for Ninoy but for the suffering Filipino people," Aquino declared as she reluctantly accepted the nomination of her peers.Marcos won the 1986 elections, which were marred by massive irregularities.The Aquino-led opposition, backed by the Catholic church, soon rallied about one million people on the street -- "People Power" was born, Marcos was quickly ousted and Aquino took the presidential oath of office.She quickly set up a commission to draft a new constitution, dismantled the network of Marcos cronies that controlled the economy and freed scores of political activists.Aquino also began talks with communist and Muslim insurgents, but her efforts would soon be undermined by problems within the coalition government she built. She later survived a series of bloody coup attempts.
Citizen
Cory In retirement, Aquino remained in the public eye, often speaking out against alleged abuses in government.Seventeen years after she stepped down from office, Aquino continued to enjoy the trust of the majority of Filipinos. A February 2009 survey of Social Weather Stations showed 3 out of every 5 adult Filipinos have much trust in the former president. She enjoyed a net trust rating of +38.She also became a vocal critic of current President Arroyo, whose family has been accused of massive corruption, and joined street protests against her until she was diagnosed with colon cancer in March of last year.In the 1990s, Aquino said the presidency had taught her a valuable lessons in governance."I realized that I could have made things easier for myself if I had done the popular things, rather than the painful but better ones in the long run. After all, in the long run, I wouldn't be around to be blamed," she said.As "Citizen Cory," she was active in non-government organizations promoting democracy, peace, and woman empowerment, and in recent years, micro-enterprise.Until her last years as a private citizen, she remained a strong political influence and moral force, opposing moves toward charter change, which many fear will lead to a term extension for President Arroyo. But on March 24, 2008, Mrs. Aquino faced another tough battle. Her children, Noynoy and Kris, announced that the former president had been diagnosed with colon cancer.Aquino underwent chemotherapy, and in public remarks made in May 2008, she said she had been responding positively to treatment.But on Saturday, she lost, perhaps, her toughest battle.

The following pics are of the same place but taken under different seasons!!
Lessons of Life
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come
from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Moral Lesson:Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.

Michael Jackson will be remember forever "The Legend legacy will never dies"
Photo source: yahoo images 1958-2009
Filipinos will always remember Michael Jackson.....
Early morning of Friday 26th of June at my office around 7:30 am UAE time, when i opened my PC to start work, as my daily routine before starting my day i never missed reading current news and events online, in my surprise one article captured my attention about Michael Jackson in front pages of Y news that he passed away in L.A hospital due to cardiac arrest , i was in shock, for a moment i was skeptical if the articles telling the truth,indeed i have to read it carefully and sort out the details , then it was precisely stated he was really died , i took sigh and posed for a while holding my breath while in a minute of silence as i had sudden heartfelt of profound sadness and distress, and i ask questioned myself why? Michael is in his 50 just consumed 50 percent of his life span and remaining 50 percent can contribute more to others, hes young indeed. I was trying to calculate a question in my mind, its such a logical explanation to think that life is unfair but its a reality to face that life ends suddenly without warning, as we should prepare ourselves often for our disappearance, we have to put ourselves closer to god so that we are ready to face deaths,this things reminds me before i broke my silence of grief to Michael before i got back to my work seriously and i was quite reluctant to admit that he is gone...to the fact that he formed his life as legend in music industry,he is truly undisputed, a great total performer in our times today , its unbelievable that we no longer see and heard him.
Trying to find all the links of articles, such as opening various sites locally and international news feed , he is visibly on the front pages stated Michael Jackson was rest in peace yesterday... the world was in shocked and in griefs about surfaced news, and everybody were mourning .. i myself is greatly affected, that even I'm not crazy fan of him but his popularity invaded my interest to listen and dance his beat. For the past years Michael Jackson was in roller coater rides of trouble, scandals and controversies that Drew's negative feedback to his reputation but despite on that Michael songs remained immortal to his patrons , shall i say his life trouble has nothing to do with his talents and performances, people forget all of those things while he is onstage... its Michael Jackson effect to me, and i will miss him forever , i knew everybody are saddened that he is gone but his music will live in our hearts forever..
Farrah Fawcett with the real Angels
Photo source: Yahoo imagesSubsequent to Micheal Jackson death yesterday , Farrah Fawcett was in the front page .pronounced dead in the hospital while in the battle of anal cancer , being an items of my blog Farrah is new to me i just learned her story through online news ,but when i read her life story, its manifestation of courage and faith thereby i have searched her in YouTube and google and the rest inspired me to follow the updates of her health condition , it easy for me to realized what Farrah going through as i had family member have had the same ordeals and gone after long battle , what makes her story affects me because Farrah allowed to shared her life through documentary to inspired other people just like any normal being popular or not have a great purpose in life as we live in this planet would encourages us not to be hopeless no matter what challenges we been through god is always there for us hence every breath we take is celebration of life.
Both are popular and influential person but they shared the same thing they touch and inspired people lives..
Photo source: yahoo imagesThe emotional television documentary "Farrah's Story," which aired in May on NBC, gave viewers an intimate look at Fawcett’s hard-fought battle with cancer. Shot with her own home-video camera, the special chronicled the actress’s medical treatments both in the U.S. and abroad and served as a poignant video diary, through which Fawcett shared her thoughts, feelings, and fears.NBC - Thursday, June, 25, 2009, 5:25 PM

A Moral lesson story"'What goes around comes around"
A nice story!
There’s a great lesson to be learned here!!!
One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.
Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.
He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold.. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you.
He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'
Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me.'
He waited until she started her car and drove off.. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan .
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be.. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.
There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'
Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the Money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard......
She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Every thing's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'
There is an old saying 'What goes around comes around.' Today I sent you this story and I'm asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine. God works in mysteries ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason.

International singing sensation Charice is now gearing up for her appearance in one of the most popular TV shows in Italy.
In an exclusive interview with Charice’s mom, Racquel Pempengco confirmed that she and her daughter will be guesting again on the popular musical variety show “Ti lascio una canzone (I’m Leaving a Song for You).”

“Nag-perform na siya noon. Bago pa man siya kumanta ay pinapirma na kami ng kontrata na babalik siya. So ini-schedule agad kasi rehearsal pa lang, practice pa lang ay nata-taranta na sila. Gusto nilang bumalik talaga (si Charice),” she said.
According to Mrs. Pempengco, Charice is set to perform in Rai Uno before the end of this month. “‘Yong sa Rai Uno ay (May) 23 taping ‘yon (tapos) May 31 ang airing nila,” she said.
The mother also confirmed that Charice will be the sole guest on the show for that special episode.
Just last May 18, Charice unveiled her first international single, “Note To God,” on the hit American talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” It became one of iTunes’s and Amazon.com’s bestsellers just hours after the world saw her sing it live for the first time.
Charice and her mother are currently in the United States to complete her first international album, which is scheduled to be released later this year. She is also set to stage her first solo concert this coming June.

Charice The Newest Asian Superstar
Sat, May 30, 2009
announcements, buzz, music
Charice is no longer just a little girl from Philippines with a big voice, but the newest Asian Superstar among the young singers of today and she comes from our side of the planet! She has sung all over the world with some of the world’s biggest artists and she is probably the only Asian who has sung hand-in-hand with so many other superstars. And she will probably be the first Asian to break and make it in the US. As a proof, Charice has appeared as a guest on Celine Dion’s concert at the Madison Square Garden singing “Because You Loved Me” with Celine and at Andrea Bocelli’s own concert in Tuscany singing “The Prayer” with the world-renowned tenor.
Charice has an amazing and impacting voice to ever come out from a very young 17 year old, and she is now 100% taken under the wings of David Foster as her mentor. Charice truly has gone so far in a very short time with her astounding talent. And with a “Note to God” she is truly blessed with great things as her message reaches the heavens because she is now signed to Warner Brothers Records in the U.S. as its newest international artist.
For the third time, Charice made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Showlast May 18, 2009 for the “Finale: Oprah’s Search for the World’s Most Talented Kids” episode. She debuted her first internationally released single “Note to God”, which was written by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. The single was also made available for digital download on the same day and it was with no surprise that the song charted at the #5 spot on iTunes and #1 on Amazon download charts. Charice’s goose bumping performance of the song “Note to God” on the Oprah Winfrey show can be watched via YouTube and you will find that the man playing the piano in the background is none other than Mr. Foster.
