Among all my brother’s action photos, here’s the one i really love. Haha “Fire in the Hole!!!” yikes! is this the effect of too much playing action games???

“A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail…
Happy Fathers Day to my Dad!!!

It was confirmed that Richard Gutierrez will host the third season of GMA’s reality show, Survivor. Richard replaced its former host Paolo Bediones after transferring and signing an exclusive contract with TV5. There will be a big change in the upcoming third season of Survivor. It was said that the reality show will be dubbed as Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition. Third season was reported to premiere sometime in 2010. According to a report on 24 Oras, the show would involve celebrities, which explains the lack of audition dates. Let’s just hope that this new season will give us thrills and excitement more than as what we felt with the previous seasons.

Have you ever won a contest online? Most of us are in doubt in joining a certain contest done over the Internet. Is there really an assurance that you can win or if you did, how about the prizes? Are they real?
In my opinion, it depends on what type of contest and what site are you going to join. Before participating in any form of contest online, make sure that you observe first.
Check the history of the hosting website.
Check how old the site is. A month old site that organize a contest is quite suspicious perhaps, the site author is doing it for promotion purposes, to generate traffic and to gained link popularity.
Do not ever disclose any of your personal information. If a contest asks you to provide your email address or any other personal data from you, do not disclose anything unless you have proven that the site is reliable and trustworthy.
Beware of Scammers. Always be observant and wise. Investigate before doing any move. If a site offers a huge amount of prizes, don’t be deceived by it. Be wise or else, you’ll regret it in the end.
Beware of Hackers. Some contest will require you to submit your email address. Some sites are doing it in purpose to hack someone else’s emails.
Have you ever won a contest online? I did! I won 4 times already but those are not as huge as what you’re thinking. Those are friendly contest conducted by some of my fellow bloggers.

I won a 5 cinema tickets, one customized tumbler, 20 bucks and a $100 coupon. Joining any form of contest online, whether by participating any online game or a raffled-based contest is fun. What important is we are ensured that we’re dealing with a trusted site. How about you? Have you ever join any online contest? Have you won? Share us your experience.

Among the objectives of the month-long campaign are to generate widespread awareness and support for World’s Teacher’s Day; use the occasion to celebrate  the unique role and service that teachers play in guiding the families, strengthening communities, and building the nation; revitalize the image of teaching  as a vocation by increasing public awareness on the value of teachers in the Philippine society and national development; and assit current and retired Filipino teachers by coordinating a chain of establishments to provide value-added service or discounts to teachers.

We urge all possible cooperators,such as the coalition of the student coincils and organizations, consortiums of educational institutions and associations, bussiness establishments, professionals organiztions/ corporate foundations, and local government units to pay tribute to our teachers by preparing simple, creative, and meaningful activity that will affrim and celebrate  the value of teachers to the community and nation.

It is hoped that through the annual month long campaign, the celebration of World Teachers’ day will be raised to the same level as that of Mothers’ or Father’s Day; there will be increased enrollment in education degree courses, and our teachers will be accorded the recognition and appreciation they deserve.

May this campaign encourage our teachers to stay in the profession and remain in the Philippines to continue playing their central role in guiding our children, the youth, and even adults, through the life-long learning process!
