of the Parish Pastoral Council in their own town. Fortunately, I had a chance

destiny is the fruit of your actions and thoughts. Work and act so you can
achieve something. Do not be afraid to explore, life is a worlds of
exploration. There are many things out there. That do not come to you but you

is a big thing. At first, is it really a big thing? I mean, what do you think

so called day game is the conversion rate like the girls like they get numbers
from those are actually the girls they date if any like the conversion rate is
very low like they get numbers but for some reasons they wouldn’t end up with
those girls or almost they will not see them again.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Kenneth: well the thing is, for
example, “oh I’ve got this number from this girl” but the reality is you have
something that will keep you away from approaching her or something to make a
few minutes of small talks and getting a number uhm It takes a little more
mechanism. Parang binigyan mo lang yung sarili mo ng rason para di ka na
lumapit sa chick na yun. Do you follow?</b></span></div>

an instant wow-piece for anyone who uses it, and a great way to show off photos

where you are to crowd around on the computer screen and awkwardly watch while
you look at your photos. Now, you just tell them to “dim the lights, and here

<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">by Cedric Joshua Martinez</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Independent Films “Indie Films” as defined by our bros in the asanda2filmstudies.blogspot.com (http://asanda2filmstudies.blogspot.com/2008/09/independent-films-definition.html) are films that are initially produced without financing or distribution from a major film studio.</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lately, Indie films in the Philippines are reaching out to the people as well as collecting numerous awards both here and abroad. Nevertheless, what are the possible reasons behind these? Here are my personal insights regarding the success of the Indie Films:</b></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. Indie films are not after the sales, they are after the story.</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Most of the time, social issues and concerns are at the core of an indie film story which I very much different from the local mainstream movies. While the indies give us a glimpse of the reality, mainstream movies feed us with fantasy, imagination and romantic clichés.</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. They are limited in terms of budget.</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Curious isn’t it? How does a limited budget contribute to the success of independent films? Simple. Independent filmmakers are forced to think outside the box. Thus, they are becoming more innovative in using the resources that they have, from the simple camera tricks, use of prosthetic up to the editing. They are discovering new and much more effective ways in making an indie film.</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Indie Films are Independent</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Being independent comes with many challenges, and perks. For filmmakers, this independence release them from the control of production companies and their standards. This gives them, especially the Director, much more control and opportunity to display what he or she would want to show to the audience.</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Actors and Actresses work for the honor.</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>In spite of the low budget, we ask ourselves “Why is ___________ in this film? If I could remember __ has a very high talent fee.” The answer lies in the awards that they receive in the Philippines and overseas. Aside from which, they would also like to work with top directors like Brilliante Mendoza.</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. Indie Films give us the reality at the silver screen.</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Philippine independent films give us insights and present to us the reality that is happening out there. And for me, that is the beauty of indie films. It is not only there in order to entertain us but to shake us up and open our eyes. By the end of every movie, questions are always being asked. What am I going to do know that I am aware of it? Am I experiencing the same thing? What can I do about it? This is the beauty of independent films, they are not just a work of art but more than that, they are stories of the people, our stories.</b></span></div>

They can withstand the massive effects of being drunk and doesn’t get affected by the “Hang over.” In Philippines, it is the beer and not the dog, who’s the man’s best friend. It is their escape route from the rude world. From the friend zoned guy, up to the tired husband, beer is the companion that any many of the bros can trust. It will listen to their endless miseries and will not comment anything bad about it.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Love is the most profound emotion known to human beings. For most people, romantic relationships are the most meaningful element in their lives. But the ability to have a healthy and loving relationship is not inborn. And in reality it really “ends”. When that time comes, what are you suppose to do bro? Cry, kill yourself or move on?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Just when you thought that the person on your wallpaper is just “wallpaper”, and you realize that as of last night you are now back to saying the words, “Table for one, please”, you’re single. But wait, before you go throwing your cell phone out of the window or doing something that you will soon regret, remember that there are ways to handle things properly. And here it goes dude.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>First of all let’s establish one key point here, no matter how cheesy it sounds, you will fall in love again, TRUST me. I don’t care if your previous girlfriend was in FHM’s 100 sexiest women or the cover of Playboy magazine, you will go on.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>First, I know, you thought you relationship would last forever and she said she had never met someone like you before. And I know, you made plans for next summer already. And basically, all was happiness until the lethal words “It’s not working out” were said and your heart dropped ten floors below or even fifteen.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Once you find out the relationship is over, the proper thing to do is say goodbye and be on your way. Impossible? Why should I do this? One, do you really want to convince them not to abandon you? No! They have already made up their mind. And two, there are many fish in the sea, go and get one.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Second, don’t sit around and wait, assuming they are coming back. I don’t want to say that people can’t break up and get back together, I don’t! But you have to set your mind that this part of your life is just another closed chapter in your long romantic history. I’m saying this because you can’t always assume that time will make someone change. And its quiet impossible to even try to change someone just for your own gain, right?</b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The iPhone 5 was the most anticipated Apple handset launch
since the iPhone 4. The 4S offered only an incremental, albeit
antenna-fixing, upgrade, and the fifth-gen iPhone arrives just as many 4 users’
24-month contract comes up for renewal.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

putting pen to paper, Apple announced that pre-orders for the iPhone 5 hit two

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Handsome, Beau, Gut aussehend, Bello, Guapo, POGI. All these words have but one meaning that has already been lost in time. Today, being POGI means having a handsome face. But we bros need to think, was it always like this? As to what our dear bro Heraclitus once said, change is the only constant. Everything changes, even the definition of POGI. It is sad to think that a lot of women (especially the young ones) determine if one is POGI or not by only looking at one’s face.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>It is not just the face, the appeal nor that aphrodisiac smile that defines a POGI, there is also a need to consider the passion, the righteousness, the skills, the manliness and the attitude. Last night, I watched a Youtube Video entitled “Sino Si Ramon Bautista? (‘Yung Pogi). Then it came to me that being POGI is all about. In the video, Ramon Bautista was described as POGI not because he has the looks but moreover, because he helps the elderly, he cleans his own backyard, he cares about the environment, he studies and avoids bad vices, he is the law and he is a man who loves his country.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>And that is what being POGI is really all about. The combination of the good looks, the awesome attitude and right principles makes a man more than just a man, but a one true POGI.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As a student, I have many goals in my life. But the pressure from the school and in the house makes me think if I can achieve my dreams. People nowadays especially in Philippines are weak and tend to give up early on their dreams because of financial problems that hinder them to continue dreaming. Filipinos become more realistic in dreaming and setting their goals, because of the pressure and lack of motivation. That is why we really need to have an inspiration, someone or something that will motivate us and uplift us in the brink of being stubborn.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recently I have read a book that focuses on inspiring and motivating people that needs to get uplift, it is entitled “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” The book is a part of series which is made from compilation of stories from the authors and people who have experienced amazing things that changed their lives for good. Internationally known speakers Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield are the authors of the book. Both are inspirational and motivational speaker who aims to change the lives of people and uplift their soul.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Chicken Soup for the Soul was released on June 28, 1993, and became a holiday favorite by the end of December. What drove initial interest was not media attention or celebrity endorsement, but rather word-of-mouth promotion from ordinary people around the country who bought the book and loved it. Many would return to the bookstore to buy five or ten copies for friends and family. Thanks to that groundswell of popularity, by September of 1994, Chicken Soup for the Soul was on every major bestseller list in the U.S. and Canada. Although the media may not have led the charge, they soon caught on. Chicken Soup for the Soul received coverage from just about every major media outlet in the country, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The Today Show,” “Larry King Live” and thousands of others. The series quickly became a pop culture phenomenon, receiving mentions on television programs like “Friends,” “The Sopranos,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” plus several movies. According to (http://www.chickensoup.com)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This book is recommended by me for those people especially our “Bros” who are in need of motivation and guidance. Surely everyone who will read this book will be uplifted and will definitely strive to achieve their goals. Motivation and inspiration is a factor in achieving our dreams, but let us not forget that it is God who’s responsible for our being and our companion in our way to our success.</span></b></div>

<br /></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">by Radel Llagas</span></h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Nature can be cruel giving us appearances and it often happens that we look much different from what we would like to look. It can be all about people’s so called “standards” of beauty or really about body defects.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>But even if you haven’t won the genetic lottery, clothing and grooming choices can do pretty much to help you make the best of what you’ve inherited.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>While plenty of men spend a lot of time dieting and working out to achieve a slimmer shape, their skinny counterparts dream about becoming a bit fatter.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>They can eat whatever they want but can hardly gain an ounce. And when it comes to fashion and clothing generally they again experience much difficulty in choosing garments which make them look better.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>This article will help bros out there who are skinny to alter their wardrobes in order to flatter their body type and feel more confident in their lives.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Smaller shoulder padding</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>As many men like wearing blazers I would recommend them to opt for ones with light shoulder padding.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Bigger is not better, because small shoulder pads will give your back and chest a visual boost, whilst massive padding will make you seem like a small boy lost in a man’s jacket.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Besides, bigger shoulder padding will create a cheaper look, even if your blazer is very expensive.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>No close-fitting shirts</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Say “no” to close-fitting dress shirts and T-shirts and choose tops that come away slightly from your midsection, for these will hide your small ribcage.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Stay away from too large tops either, as too much extra fabric and volume will make you seem like you’re swimming in your shirt. Steer clear of clingy fabrics and watch out of those which contain too much elastic.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Jackets at the right length</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>When you select a jacket for yourself, ensure it falls right under your buttocks. A shorter jacket will accentuate your height and skinny waist, along with arms and legs. </b></span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A longer jacket will not be a good decision as well, making you look like a blanket-covered stick.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Flat-front pants</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The rights pants for thin men should have a classic cut and remain simple with a flat front. Opt for straight-leg or slightly boot-cut shapes and stay away of tapered trousers or skinny jeans. </b></span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pockets, pleats and cuffs also add a bit more volume to your shape, but my advice for you is to wear pants with these details only when they’re trendy.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Thick fabrics</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Thick fabrics are essential for you as they give you an illusion of additional pounds. Corduroy pants will look good but only if they are in fashion. During winter forget about fitted, grandpa-style cardigans and prefer chunky, knitted wool cardigans instead. </b></span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Opt for heavier wools for your suits and cotton dress shirts with a higher thread count. And one more thing – dress in layers, as this will make you appear bigger.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>No Vertical Stripes</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>They look nice and are perfect for business wear but skinny men shouldavoid them as they make people appear slimmer.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Regular cut jeans</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Of course no one can live without jeans now but skinny men should choose carefully. Skinny jeans are a big “no” as well as loose fit jeans, which will just emphasize the fact you are thin. </b></span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Baggy jeans on a skinny man look too baggy but a good regular cut jean will compliment your shape and will not sacrifice comfort while doing so.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nothing says Filipino food more than adobo. Every Filipino has rich experiences of a meal shared over a plate of their favorite adobo whether it is chicken or pork, sweet or spicy, saucy or dry. It is like FILIPINO IS ADOBO.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adobo is a savory, all-purpose seasoning that imparts garlic flavor and is normally used to season and marinate meat, chicken, or fish. It’s an essential seasoning in Spanish Caribbean and Latin American kitchens. It is so fundamental in Latin Cuisines that adobado means "marinated and cooked in adobo sauce". Considered the quintessential Pinoy food, every region in the Philippines has its own adobo. The Bicolanos have adobo sa gata. The Batanguenos have adobong dilaw. The Illonggos have adobong kangkong.</span></b><br />

REVIEW:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are now engaging the world of
cameras wherein from photo films to digital cameras, video camera now it has
evolved into something new the DSLR or also known as “<span style="background-color: white;">Digital Single Lens Reflex” basically this digital base
camera where you look through the lens on the camera that will be capturing the
images, while the exposure is made an internal mirror moves of the way to let
light reach the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="yshortcuts">camera sensor</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>to
the images can be recorded and stored.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The EOS 650d promises unparalleled performance with the world’s
first intuitive touch screen interface for set shoot view convenience. Its auto
focus system is precise with a new 9 point all cross type auto focus backed by
a new Hybrid CMOS auto focus system. The auto focus speeds are dramatically
increased while focusing on live view and movie shooting modes.</span></div>
<o:p><div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</o:p></span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Unlike the other canon models the EOS 650d is a stunning DSLR
camera but it is quite expensive. And EOS 650d is the only model that has</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">
four different methods of auto focusing during live view shooting and divides
the scene into 31 auto focus points. On the LCD monitor, users can touch one of
the nine zones and select it</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
for automatic focusing. No matter how expensive this camera is, the capacity,
potential and versatility of this device is certified fabulous the important is
you had invest something worth for yourself. </div>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">by Radel Llagas</span></h4>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What is a young Leader? A young leader is a person that is in the process where he develops himself to be a better human being not only for himself but also to the people around him. Studying, training and preparing for the challenges and opportunities the future could offer.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A Young Leader doesn’t need or ask for any acknowledgements or rewards on every good thing that he have done, he will be simply happy and satisfied if he knew that he just helped or inspired people because of his good deeds or works.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I believe that every each of us is a leader. We are the leaders of ourselves.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So as one of the young leaders of our generation, I think we can help our motherland by simply inspiring our own countrymen. Inspiration has this power to move intellect and emotions of people, most likely, to influence. If people are positively inspired they can do anything happily, efficiently, and effectively. A job well done in work, a fine relationship with family and friends, a high grades in school, etc. All is well!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now, how can I inspire people? I’ll inspire people by being diligent and persistent, by being nice and friendly, and by being thoughtful and mindful.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Diligence and persistence, I believe that these two attributes cannot be separatedfrom each other they’re partners, because you cannot be persistent if you’re not diligent and you cannot be diligent if you’re not persistent. To inspire and to be inspired you should be doing something that will benefit you and make the people around you happy.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Being nice and friendly doesn't always mean having long conversations with people you barely know. Just saying you like someone's shirts, or even just saying "hi" to someone can cause them to have a more positive attitude toward you, and maybe even inspire them. But you don’t have to always talk to inspire people. It's usually your actions that inspire people, not your words.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Being thoughtful and mindful likewise is not that tough if someone asks you a question or asks for help think about it before answering or doing anything this will keep you from saying or doing harsh things. Always think before doing anything.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To inspire people always go into things with good intentions and positive thoughts. Most likely, you'll be admired for your determination and, most likely, will do better. For example you lose in a basketball game with your team or have a bad day at school or work, try to go through it with a quiet smile and do better next time. Don't blame it all on yourself, nor should you blame it on anyone else. It will make you look the opposite of inspiring.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course be someone you'd want to be and don’t you ever fake it. In other words, be someone that you would enjoy being around. If you don't like how you act, chances are other people won't like you, either.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My resolve in helping my country which is to inspire is like an inductive approach in doing research or from specific-general approach or from using a few numbers of sample respondents then from them I will intend to generalize. First, I will dealt with few numbers of people who I already knew then hopefully will also inspire the people they knew, continue this process until all people in the country are all inspired.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Imagine if all people would be inspired. It can lead to oneness and success of the country because if the people are positively inspired they can do anything happily, efficiently, and effectively and if they have this attitudes there’ll be no troubles or difficulties. All is well!</span></b></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>“One criteria of being a true MAN is when you can stand on pain—have a tattoo”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>It might seem like everyone, from rich to famous, from teens to grandfathers and from poor to obscure, have a tattoo or is planning to get one soon, but you shouldn't get a tattoo simply because it is "in" nowadays or just to prove that you are not afraid of having one. Tattoo is beautiful, artistic and “astig” but I’m telling you, TATTOOS ARE FOR LIFE. You cannot removed it anytime you want, the only way to have a tattoo safely removed is to go to a doctor and have it removed with a laser, and even then, it will leave a scar where the tattoo used to be. If you want a tattoo, THINK BEFORE YOU INK.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>“Self expression, art, beauty and style” Getting a tattoo is a popular way to show off this elements of your own life. Tattoos are available in many colors or plain black, and designs span far beyond the realm of your own imagination. If you can draw it, a tattoo artist can most likely reproduce it on your body. Words, pictures, objects, and abstract designs are just a few of possible designs. If you can’t quite make up your mind, they’ve got books with thousands of options for the perfect tattoo to suit you. Also, symbolism runs deep in many tattoos, even Chinese letters, kanji and hieroglyphics are used mostly as designs. Sometimes, you can even choose to create a symbolic design of which only “you” knows the true meaning. Selecting from these and countless other tattoo designs allows for a satisfying sense of self expression.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>On the other hand, having a tattoo also has its cons. People with multiple tattoos are often stereotyped as being bad, outcasts or criminals, to the point that the word “discrimination” comes along. It often happens on instances like applying for a job, riding a jeepney or even simply just walking on your own street because most people think you’re a criminal, right? Also, persons with tattoo are not allowed to donate blood within one year because they are assuring that you did not acquire anydiseases when you had tattoo. These are some consequences but there are many more dude.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Having a tattoo is painful, really painful, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that if you have one you’re strong. It is just a way of expressing. So, if you planning to have one be sure that you will love it</b></span></div>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">by Cedric Joshua Martinez</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Dude, seriously, look at yourself. You are probably sitting somewhere in front of the computer when you can be out there, sweating yourself out and having fun with your exercise broddies. [Note: We are not trying to get you out of our blog but seriously, you need to look much more awesome dude]</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>According to MayoClinic.com, the following are the benefits of having exercise as a regular physical activity:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>1. Exercise Controls Weight</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>I know that we, the bros, are already capable of being awesome in terms of looks, words and moves. But don’t you want your body to look as broreffic as your face? Lose weight, or you’ll end up the next mascot at your nearest fast food chain.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>2. Exercise Combats Health Conditions and Diseases</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Would you choose a night out with your bros and chances to score with the chicks over a half liter of sweat? Your choice dude. And before I forget, is it awesome for you to see a bro like you lying in your bed, vulnerable and being fed by your mother and taking up medicine? Think about it.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>3. Exercise Improves Mood</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Instead of buying anti-depressants or alcohol after being dumped by a chick or worst-case scenario, being betrayed by a bro, why don’t you just go out there, jog a little bit, play sports, go to the gym with the possibilityof meeting another chick?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>4. Exercise Boosts Energy</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>This is why we should exercise. More energy = More time to chase up with chicks. Should I need to explain this any further?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>5. Exercise Promotes Better Sleep</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Well I need to be honest, sleep does not sound that awesome but even bros need ample time to sleep. I know that it is hard to sleep after an awesome night with bros and chicks but sleep gives a bro higher chance of another awesome day after the awesome night.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Review:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>2012 is the year where tablet computer rises and improves. The Battle between top tablet computers producer like Apple and Samsung is visible to all consumers and is hard to penetrate by other tech companies. This is the reason why other companies create a budget computer tablet that a normal customer can afford. First were the production of amazon kindle fire; a 7-inches screen tablet computer that offers great yet less pricey experience of owning a tablet computer. By the emergence of this budget tablets, less fortunate people experienced to use and own tablets computers that they craved for ever since. But these budget tablets definitely will not give them the performance that a high-end tablet caters. Until the Asus Google Nexus 7 arise from the market. A 7-inches screen tablet that has an ultrafast NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset: quad-core 1.3GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and 1 gb Ram. This budget tablet can give its owner the ultrafast gaming and web browsing experience that even high-end tablets cannot. Armed with the latest android OS 4.1 Jelly bean, Nexus 7 gadget is a ticket to fast updates to the latest Android OS, an untouched Android at and a great developer.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Storyline:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The book is about Ana who has just finished college and is about to find a work experience place. She meets an extremely rich man, Christian Grey, who is only 27 but very dominant and controlling. He’s also very handsome, and she can’t help being attracted to him. Turns out he is attracted to her, too. But he’s never had a proper relationship. His previous relationships have all been on his terms with the woman either agreeing to these terms, or being dumped.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>But Ana is different. He says he will drop her if she doesn’t agree to do things his way, but she isn’t sure she wants his sort of relationship, involving mainly S/M sex. She hasn’t really had a boyfriend before so what she wants is a normal relationship. The remainder of the book involves bargaining for the kind of relationship they might have. She has a taste of his idea of a relationship, and he gets a taste of what she wants. Will Ana be the woman who can make him change his attitude?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>During the book Ana finds out about Christian’s dark past. A lot has happened to make him the person he is now. She uncovers only some of it, but it helps her understand him better.</b></span></div>
