SAGITTARIUS ON 2012
Dahil ilang araw na lang at 2012 na, uso na naman ang mga hula hula sa mga artista, mga kung sinu ang mabubuntis, mag-aasawa at mamamatay. Maging sa Manila Bulletin ay meron ding column tungkol sa mga Horoscope horoscope for the whole year of the Dragon. I'm sure sikat na naman si Madam Auring, Madam Suzzette, Jojo Acuin, Nostradamus at maging si Manang Bola ay magteTREND din. Pero bago ang lahat ng yan uunahan ko na sila. 

Narito ang aking Prediction sa 2012 para sa mga isinilang ng November 22~December 21. Sila ang mga kalahating kabayo at kalahating tao pero hindi kamukha ni PETRA. Sila rin ang may ari ng La Salle. At dahil kalahating kabayo, for sure mga malalaki rin ang kargada nila, sila ang mga pinagpala, mga totoy mola. Sila ang mga naghuhumindig na mga SAGITTARIANS o SAGITTARIUS.

Ayon sa katotohanan, ang mga Sagittarian ay lubhang mapapagkatiwalaan, tapat at may isang salita even throughout the most adverse of circumstances. Ibig sabihin, a putol a kamay, hindi atakbo, a putol a paa, hindi atakbo, aputol a titi.... ay ibang usapan na yan! Ganyan ang mga kalahating tao at kalahating kabayo, putulin mo ng lahat basta may sinabi, paninindigan.

In the year 2012, most lucky Sagittarians are in store for an exciting time ahead that begins rather memorably for this energetic and passionate fire sign. -psychic-junkie.com-

So ibig sabihin ma-eexcite at magiging ma-elya ang lahat ng mga Sagittarian dahil maglalaro tayo ng apoy all the year around. Kaya pila kana sa audition ni Maria Ozawa baka ikaw ang mapili para sa bukake movie niya, yun nga lang 2055 pa raw ang simula ng shooting. 

Love and Relationships: Sagittarius 2012 Predictions

Isa sa mga kinaiingitan ng ibang horoscope figure sa isang Sagittarian ay ang pagkakahilig nilang mag-explore at mag-experiment ng mga bagong bagay at ideas. Ibig sabihin imbentor. Sila rin yung may matataas na grade sa experiment or laboratory subject, meaning sila ang mahilig makabasag ng mga beakers at funnels. At sa sobrang hilig nila magexperiment, nasa rehab ang karamihan sa kanila. lol!

Adventurous ang mga Sagittarian, kaya hindi kataka-taka na sila ang magco-contribute ng maraming bata ngayong 2012. 

Dahil very Optimistic ang mga Sagittarian walang kahit anumang anong Ondoy, Sendong at Rufing ang makakapagpatumba sa mga ito at lahat ng problema ay kaya niyang ihandle lalo na unang anim na buwan ng 2012. 

Exercise caution when it comes to problematic issues while relying on hard work and dedication to mend damaged relationships, romantic or otherwise. Also seek advice from the older and wiser who can offer real words of wisdom. -psychic-junkie.com-

Career and Finance: Sagittarius 2012 Predictions

With a strong sense of character and history of dependability, Sagittarius is duly admired and respected in the workplace. Both confidence and excitement build as some long overdue recognitions finally come into the spotlight. The first quarter of 2012 sees the most success in terms of career and finance with the second quarter mirroring the first thanks to Sagittarius' intense efforts.

A possible new business venture could also transpire during this time for Sagittarius who will spend the last half of the year working to retain the momentum achieved earlier on. Some time will also be spent sidestepping a few tense moments in May or June before things start to improve once again.

For those Sagittarians who are involved with computers or technology, continued research and higher learning will prove to pay off handsomely in the last part of the year especially to facilitate promotions or similar advances later on in 2011. -psychic-junkie.com-


Health: Sagittarius 2012 Predictions

In general, Sagittarius usually enjoys excellent health, although in 2012 the Centaurs should be on the watch for potential problems with the nervous system or those related to the skin during the first few months of the year. And, those Sagittarians who have been meaning to get in better physical shape will finally be able to meet their goals this year with some will power and dedication to a healthier way of living. -psychic-junkie.com-

Although 2012 is coupled with both great success alternating with brief periods of sadness or disappointment for Sagittarius, these idealistic and dynamic individuals will remain firmly committed to their goals and beliefs while surviving 2012. -psychic-junkie.com-

MEMA presents TIPS TO PREVENT IMPATSO
MEMA short for May Ma....

MEMA-post lang!!!
**********

They say Filipino loves to eat. True. At a kabila ng iba't ibang handaan dala ng kapaskuhan at kabi-kabilang mga party, for sure naramdaman niyo ang mga ito,bloating, hirap sa pagdighay, pananakit ng tiyan, pananakit ng bandang itaas na bahagi ng sikmura, lalo na after kumain ng ibat ibang pagkain gaya ng istapegi, pansit, menudo, adobo, fruit salad, hamon, at iba't iba pang putaheng pang pasko at pang christmas party. Kung ito ay iyong naramdaman ikaw ay na-IMPATSO o indigestion. 


At dahil ikaw ay nakaranas ng ganito nung kapaskuhan, narito ang limang tips upang ito ay maiwasan sa darating na NEW YEAR.

1. Alamin ang inyong kapasidad sa pagkain. Hindi yung para kang alipin sa gigilid na para bang mauubusan ng pagkain. 
   1a. Bago kumain mag-cart wheel muna ng 5 beses to left then back to the right naman. Lol!


2. Magdala ng 'gamot sa bukol', diatabs ang ibig kong sabihin... tanga!. Aspirin at mga gamot na may steroid. (kung magtatanong ka kung bakit yung may steroid, hindi kita masasagot dahil hindi ako ang duktor mo)

3. Isara ang bibig kapag ngumunguya upang hindi makapasok ang hangin. Dahil kapag nakapasok ang hangin...... mamamatay ka!.... oo, mamamatay ka, kasi nakalimutan mo na tumingin ka pala sa BAGWA ni kris.

4. Iwasan ang pakikipagtsismisan habang ngumunguya. Dahil kapag nakita ka ng pinagtsitsismisan niyo baka mapaaga ang NEW YEAR mo, maari kayong mabaril, oo mabaril agad, kasi uso ang baril kapag bagong taon. 

5. Iwasan ang pagkain ng mabilis kung wala namang TAXI na naghihintay.

Upang lalong maiwasan ang Impatso, narito ang tamang paraan ng pagkain at pag-nguya.



HAPPY NEW YEAR folks!!!



UNTITLED
Salamat sa lahat ng bumati sa akin nung nakaraang birthday ko, sa mga tumawag over the phone, nagtext, nagtweet at mga bumati via facebook and picture greetings salamat sa oras at naisingit nyo ako sa mga schedules niyo. 

Thank you Lord Almighty for making my year fruitful & full of blessings. 



WHERE IS MY DAY OFF? (THE GRAND MARCH)
"Where is my DAY OFF?"

"Kami butuh hari libur?"

"Ngay nghi cua toi o dau?"

"Wo yao sow chia"

Ito ang sabay sabay na hinaing at sigaw ng migranteng Filipino, Vietnamese at Indonesian na namamasukan bilang domestic workers, katulong, katiwala, DH o kasambahay. Sila na nagtatrabaho para sa kani-kanilang pamilya. Sila na may mga baong pag-asa hindi lang para sa mga mahal sa buhay kundi para na rin sa kanilang mga bansang pinagmulan. Sila na pinagkakaitan ng isa o dalawang araw na pahinga. Sila ang mga totoong bagong bayani.  

Sa pangunguna ng Migrant Empowerment Network of Taiwan o MENT at sa pakikipagtulungan ng Hsinchu Migrants and Immigrant Service Center(HMISC) kaakibat ang iba't ibang support group mula sa iba't ibang syudad at probinsya ng Taiwan, isinagawa ang isang malawakang protesta para sa iisang  sigaw ng ating mga domestic workers, ito ay ang karapatang makapagpahinga, at ang equal rights katulad ng mga nagtatrabaho sa mga kumpanya at pabrika. Sa kabila ng pagtaas ng minimun wage para sa foreign workers sa mga kumpanya at pabrika, ang ating mga kababayan na nagtatrabaho bilang kasambahay at katiwala ay nanatili pa rin sa minimun wage na NT$15840. Kaya naman nagsama-sama at nagkaisa ang iba't ibang lahi upang iparating, katukin at kalampagin ang mamamayan ng Taiwan na bigyan ng karapatang mamasyal, makapagsimba, makapagpahinga at bigyan ng pantay na karapatan tulad ng sa iba. 

Narito ang ilang highlights ng tinaguriang "MIGRANT WORKERS GRAND MARCH".

**********

This nothing goes with the countdown to Christmas or to my birthday. December 3, 2011 made a history for me and for some Filipino's too.

First, I attended an advent recollection. This marked the second in my entire life (who cares!). Well, if you don't want to know, I had my first during my freshmen year at St. Mary's. And for me this is a history. Walang kokontra. 

Second, I have'nt cry for..well, lets say i'm not an emotional person. I cant easily cry & get into some crying stuff thingy but when I saw this Christmas Plug of Coca-Cola: Where Will Happiness Strikes Next, I saw myself crying. I dont know, I think, I experienced what they are saying. I've been away for my family since 2003 that's why the impact of that video for me is too deep.


Third, I already felt that it is truly winter time. As of now we've been experiencing 15 degrees temperature & continue dropping. Wala lang! Epic fail! lol.

Fourth, I'm doing the first line/part of "Sa Araw ng Pasko" this coming Misa de Gallo. Excited much!

Fourth, well for Filipinos, this day is really a history to made, David Beckham & the LAGalaxy played with our very own the Azkals. LAGalaxy won with 6 goals against 1 for the Philippine team. Beckham & his team arrived in the Philippines a few days ago for an exhibition game against the country's national team.

On the other news,

Ms. Earth is just concluded with Ms. Ecuador as the title winner. And Ms. Philippines got the Ms. Earth-Water crown.

Rhian Ramos is not ready to talk with MO's contreversy. Lolz.

And last but not the least,

Fellow Blogger, Otep Zablan won the Philippine Blog Awards - Blogger Choice Category. Congratulations! Hindi man tayo magkakilala talaga, well as a blogger kunyari, ipinapaabot ko ang taos puso kong pagbati. Pizaaaaa na to!!!


Yun lang & happy weekend!!!



WHERE IS MY DAY OFF?
The Migrant Empowerment Network in Taiwan(MENT) in cooperation with Hsinchu Catholic Diocese Migrants & Immigrants Service Center (HMISC) and other legal organizations are inviting every OFW  to support the Migrant Workers Rally this coming December 11, 2011. The main objective of this gathering is to secure the right to rest and leisure to migrant workers. 

From the article posted on http://tw.migrant-workers.org/ the Council of Labor Affairs finally responded to hear the cry of many Migrant Workers especially the Domestic Workers by proposing the official Protection Act of Domestic Workers. This Act will determine the rights to have rest as well as restriction on maximum daily working hours through negotiations between the employee & the employer.

In response, everyone is invited to gather at the heart of Taipei's entertainment and shopping center in Xinyi District to alert the general public the real situation of our Domestic workers. As everyone is enjoying the weekend away from work, the thousands of our domestic migrant workers are still working, struggling and even dying under extreme labor conditions.

Once again, to all OFW here in Taiwan they need our support.
