REAL TRUTH ABOUT PAGE RANK

Ranking in Google is not as hard as it is constantly made out to be. A lot of forums will beat on about how difficult this is and that you have to be aware of all the algorithm workings before you get to the top of Page 1 on Google.

The truth is that to rank well for a very competitive market does take longer than if you were trying to rank for a small niche market but it is not difficult.

You have to be realistic in your goals. Don't even bother trying to get to page one with "Credit Cards" or "Personal Loans". These are highly competitive keywords and it would take you a lifetime to outrank the current page 1 holders.

The basic ingredients that you need to get noticed by Google are, links to your site, on page relevancy and basic title tag keyword insertion. The last 2 ingredients are no brainers and should be followed as a matter of course. The first ingredient is the most important.

If you don't have links to your site your site is like an island with no connecting bridge. The spiders need to be able to find you from somewhere. Ranking for sites in Niche markets becomes very easy when you focus 90% of you time in building links back to your site. Now not just any links will do. The links to your site must contain the Keywords as anchor text that you wish to rank for. If you own a website on speed boats then the links to your site must have the words "Speed Boats" in the anchor text. You can and should suggest variations of your keywords to those that are linking back to you. Make sure you do not build your links too quickly as this will raise a red flag with Google. It should happen over time so that it looks organic in nature. Get links from all sorts of other websites. It's a bit of a myth that you have to get links from sites that are similar to yours.

To recap as long as you have these key steps covered you will see a huge improvement in your rankings.

1. Links. Lots of them, built slowly and from any geographic location. Anchor text to be placed in the links to your sites. Vary the keywords in your anchor text. 3 Word anchor texts work best.

2. On site relevancy. If your anchor text is "Baby Joggers" than don't write about Baby Cribs.

3. Title Tags: Make sure you have a good Title for your webpage. Make sure your keyword or variation thereof is included in the title.

If you can stick to these basic principles and you are competing in a niche market then you will be guaranteed good rankings as this is what Google is looking for.

TRIP PLANNERS AT YOUR SERVICE

The free trip planners are of great help if you have first hand information on the kind of trip you are headed to. Whether it is a simple car trip or the simple road trip, it pays to plan well in advance before you actually start the trip. When you know what to expect, your travel becomes much more enjoyable and pleasant to anticipate. The trips basically fall into two categories in a broad way; it is either for the business or for the pleasure. Whatever may be the nature and goals of the trip, an advance planning shall make your travel experience more enjoyable and memorable and you may feel like renewing the plan to visit again due to the initial success of the former. It is highly lamenting that people huddle their family onto the car and drive for constant long hours without actually a proper road map or knowing the stop destinations in advance. They, thus, do not stop at a fast food joint to refresh their kids and snack in between. As a result, they eventually arrive totally worn out from the long drive, difficult highway driving, deplorable food and road rage experiences.

Traveling with the children is great fun as they can be handed the road map of the surrounding geography and can follow the route you take. Encourage the kids to bring their individual travel packs that should contain books and projects to keep their little brains ticking. With kids, travel time is much longer and you need to stop more as well as prepare and organize more than ever. Stop for playgrounds as indicated in the free trip planners. This will release the pent up energy of kids and motivate them to exercise in fresh air. Most parks have picnic facilities so that you revel in healthy and cheap meals, very good to taste.

It is best not to purchase items while traveling, update your checklist and include extensive packing checklist as a part of free trip planner. Printable activities for the kids, exclusively for such trips, may be downloaded from specific websites to keep the children engaged while traveling.

Scan out the free trip planner for interesting signs of picnic spots, lakes, historical markers and parks so that you can get off from the busy highway, take out and distribute the home packed lunch and stretch out to improve the blood circulation and simultaneously relax with the kids. A folding picnic table shall also be handy. If the travel is going to take some more days, remember to stuff the travel pack with ingredients of next day's picnic from the local market (where you plan to spend your night). Pack from the night your favorite juice in plastic bottles and refrigerate them in the freezer. Thus, the free trip planners are there to give you exclusive information on lodging and camping locations, driving time of your destination, mileage, gas stations nearby and where to contact in case of unforeseen emergencies like the breakdown of the car.

SOLVING INTESTINAL PARASITES

One of the most often overlooked illnesses plaguing mankind are intestinal parasites. Especially in developed and technologically advanced societies, parasite symptoms are often misdiagnosed and mistakenly attributed to something else. Medical professionals in underdeveloped nations are much more likely to correctly diagnose the problem as they are culturally expectant of it's frequent occurrence.

In our culture, however, our medical professionals are not taught to look for intestinal parasites in humans. We would like to believe that our water and food supplies are not contaminated with bacteria and parasites, however, as recent news stories can attest, that is simply not the case. In fact, intestinal parasites in humans are a very frequent occurrence and it's fast becoming more and more obvious that, sadly, our water, food supplies, and general environment are sorrowfully contaminated.

The good news is that, if properly diagnosed, intestinal parasites can be quite effectively dealt with. We need to be prepared to as readily deworm ourselves as we are our domesticated animals. We know and accept that if we do not routinely deworm our animals that their health will be seriously compromised and that serious disease, illness, and potential death will result not to mention the genuine risk of our animals transmitting their parasitic infestations to us and our children...now is the time to understand the same about our own bodies. It's time to take charge of our own health and to do something about it.

What to do?

Consulting your physician is the best option if you think your health is being compromised by intestinal parasites Your doctor can recommend appropriate testing and followup treatment. Don't be embarrassed or feel uncomfortable discussing this with him or her. Remember, you have to be an advocate for your own health.

Many people, myself included, also turn to safe and natural remedies proven effective in the removal of parasites and unhealthy toxic buildup as it's just as important to maintain the cleanliness of your insides as it is your outside. Intestinal parasites in humans is a serious problem in our society today, however, if motivated to do so, we can overcome.

MOLES CAN BE CANCER AT ALL

All of us know someone who has been touched by cancer in some way, whether it is skin cancer or another type. Skin cancer, while normally not considered to be as serious as other types, can still be a dangerous disease. However, if skin cancer is caught in the early stages, as when a individual notices changes in the moles that they have on their body, then it can possibly be cured. This is why it is so important to watch for any changes that may be occurring that would lead you to believe that you may have skin cancer, such as skin tags and changes in the moles, especially if you believe they are cancer moles.

Cancer moles can be identified by using what is called the ABCD method. The letters stand for the symptoms of the disease and can be used to pinpoint when medical attention needs to be sought.

It is important to remember that if you suspect that you may have skin cancer, then the earlier that it is caught, the better. This can mean looking for any changes in the moles that you may have and also being aware of what those changes could be.

The first letter A stands for 'asymmetry.' Normally, a mole is round and symmetrical in shape. It is often when the mole begins to grow that it looks a little skewed or asymmetric. In case this happens, ensure that you visit a doctor and mention the first time you observed the change in the skin moles. The second letter B stands for 'border.'

If the border of your moles looks jagged or irregular, instead of definite and strong, then this could be a sign of cancer. The letter C indicates another important aspect, 'color.' Often, these moles change in color suddenly, leaving you quite surprised. Lastly, the letter D stands for 'diameter.' Most cancerous moles will grow in size; hence, an increasingly larger diameter could alert you to see a doctor.

If you think that the moles that you have could be cancer moles, then you will want to speak to a physician as soon as possible. You will also want to keep a close watch for the moles that might be cancerous if you are a lighter skinned individual or if other individuals in your family have had cancer. While anyone can be susceptible to this type of cancer, those who have a fair complexion or a family history of cancer are more likely to develop it.

IS THE HAIR PRODUCT WORTH STEALING?


Actress Kate Hudson, who has appeared in hits such as "Almost Famous", is being sued by Los Angeles-based 220 Laboratories for stealing their volcanic ash hair products. According to TMZ.com, Hudson is being sued for not just stealing the product but selling it off as her own. The firm has reportedly given 17 reasons to take action against Hudson and her hair guru Babaii, saying the duo made an oral contract with the lab and appointed them as the sole providers of the range's raw materials. The suit was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. They are seeking unspecified damages. Hudson's representative refused to make any comment.

SWEATING CONTROL

No matter when you experience excessive sweating it can be challenging. We all know what it is like when we sweat in hot weather but for those who sweat excessively on a regular basis the condition can become a bit of a nightmare.

No only do you have to deal with drenched clothing but you also have the added effects of body odor. This makes social interaction even more difficult and there is always the fear in your mind that somebody will notice.

There are steps you can take to combat excessive sweating. You can get over the counter deodorants. The key ingredient is aluminum chloride. Generally when you do get deodorants or anti-perspirants over the counter they are not as strong.

If you find this to be the case then you will need to get a prescription from a doctor or dermatologist so that you can get a stronger anti-perspirant. This is one way to curb the effects of profuse sweating.

You can also get botox injections, these injections can be expensive and as a result of which out of some peoples budget. Basically a botox injection inhibits the discharge of a specific chemical.

This chemical is responsible for sweat production. However take note that the relief is short term, which makes it even more expensive.

There are also surgical procedures; one such procedure involves inserting titanium clips into the affected area. As painful as it may sound the procedure is actually painless, however it has one serious draw back.

That is because it may stop sweating in one area - but then extra sweat is produced elsewhere.

There are things you can do yourself which are not expensive and do not require medical assistance. One is wear lose clothing so as to make sure your skin can breathe. Secondly watch what you eat and drink. Thirdly consume less sugar and caffeine, especially processed sugars.

Last but not least exercise, especially breathing exercises that can relieve stress in the body, just a few minutes a day could make all the difference.

PARIS HILTON'S BEACH PROMOTION


Joining Sally Beauty Supply, Paris Hilton was out on Carbon Beach in Malibu on Saturday to launch the Bandit from Dreamcatchers, a hair extension headband. The heiress playfully posed for photographers alongside a few bikini-clad models, hoping to boost sales for the new line offering up three lengths in eight different shades.

ARMPIT PROBLEM

Axillary hyperhidrosis is a medical terminology for armpit sweating. Although sweating in underarms is normal, excessive amount of the sweat is considered a disease. It is not high risk or deadly though, just that the patient may feel embarrassed and his/her social life may be affected. So what are different options to fight armpit sweating?

First off, if you are doing heavy exercises, it is important to know that profuse sweating is just normal. However, if you sweat in a relatively cold weather while sitting, that may be a sign of hyperhidrosis.

It can be hard to diagnose the cause of excessive sweating, as there are a lot of factors that matter. The stress level also contributes to sweating problems.

Soaked clothing can cause great embarrassment. Some people use various strategies to conceal sweat like wearing extra shirt inside. This may help, but unless the fabric is natural, it may increase the body temperature, which in turn will worsen the case.

Antiperspirant products are created specially to decrease the activity of sweat glands in perspiration-prone areas. However, not every kind of product suits everyone though.

Some antiperspirant products are combined with deodorants and those can be effective in certain cases. Many people also find that deodorant-only products are enough. You may test different kind of them and switch products if that doesn't make your sweat better.

Botox, iontophoresis (introducing low electric current to the body) and surgery are also other options, but they are more drastic. Botox and iontophoresis may not be permanent.

Finally, for mild cases of armpit sweating, you want to keep your body clean by taking a bath every day and change cloth after that. Consider trimming hairs in the underarm areas to help decrease the amount of sweat around the armpits at the same time. That may promote bacterias, which in turn cause foul smell (body odor).

RICKY MARTIN ROCKS


Ricky Martin is apparently the father of twin boys. Unmarried, ungirflriended Ricky Martin. Turns out he decided to rock the ol' rent a uterus and had a surrogate mother deliver him a pair of sons. The AP reports: "The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care," said the statement. "Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."

A representative said there was no further information on the details of the children's birth. Ricky Martin, much like Clay Aiken, has been constantly plagued by rumors that he's gay. And, much like Clay Aiken, he chose the absolute worst possible route to dispel those rumors. What did these two sit in a room together and spitball ideas on how to look straight? RICKY: We could maybe make love to the strippers, no? CLAY: I dunno if that'll work, Ricky... RICKY: How 'bout if we impregnate a woman? CLAY: Wait... that's it. We'll impregnate women! But without touching their vaginas. My God, it's perfect. RICKY: Why would we not touch the vagina? What's wrong with vagina? CLAY: Christ, man, have you ever see one before? I hear they not only have teeth but can see into a man's soul. RICKY: I'll get the test tubes.

Her “popularity is still strong,” and even if she blows a performance again this year, MTV still comes out on top: “To advertisers, a bomb can sometimes be worth more than a win.”Isn't that just great?Britney Spears Is Looking Pretty Good.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR COMPUTER CRASHES

One of the most annoying problems a PC users faces in computer crashes. This problem is particularly frustrated because it severely interrupts all programs running and collapses the entire system. Windows Vista is Microsoft most powerful and stable operating system. However, like all new software its not complete and filed with bugs. This is a formula that will cause innumerable computer crashes. But, computer crashes are not always the fault of your operating system. The user shares a large amount of blame. Poorly maintained PCs can build up damaging corrupt files and coding errors. Also dust particles can clog fans and produce heat. All these are elements that will eventually lead to computer crashes. This articles hope to give you enough information to avoid future problems and repair current ones.

The Top 4 Reasons For Computer Crashes.

#1 Cause of Computer Crashes: TOO HOT

Problem: Computer components are more powerful than ever. A piece of silicon hardware can produce an enormous amount of heat. However, your computer is usually configured to manage perfectly regardless of high temperatures. When dust is added to your hard ware, it creates an form of insulation that traps heat instead of ventilating it properly. This is the most common cause of computer crashes. If you see your computer fan clogged with cake like dust, you have created an environment for constant computer crashes due to overheating.

Solution: Remove the computer case and use a can of compressed air to blow out all the dust in the case. Make sure to completely clean the fan. Be careful not to dislodge an wires or components during the process.

#2 Cause of Computer Crashes: Bad Drivers

Problem: Computer crashes are often caused by system drivers not functioning properly. The driver provides a link between your software and hardware. If your operating system can not communicate with the hardware it shuts down and re-attempts attempt to contact the driver during the start up process.

Solution: Updating the driver or troubleshooting it may eliminate this problem. Check your device drivers for any errors which are indicated by an yellow exclamation mark or an X. Follow the below instructions to evaluate the driver:

1.Click "Start"

2.Click "Control Panel"

3.Click "System"

4.In the System menu, click the "hardware" tab

5.Click Device Manager to bring up a full list of

hardware drivers.

6.Right click and choose "Properties" to evaluate the status and troubleshoot the hardware device.

In Vista you can reach the the device manager the following method:

1.Click "Start"

2.Click "Control Panel"

3.Click "Hardware and Sound"

4.Click "Device Manager"

#3 Cause for Computer Crashes

Problem: Bad Power Supply

Most people are completely unaware that their computer has an internal power supply. The Power Supply Unit (PSU) problems are usually indicated by your PC inability to boot or use RAM. Int this case, pressing the power button produces only able to get a blank or blue screen. When the power supply goes bad, your RAM and graphic card begin to malfunction. The final result is your computer crashes when Windows demands a large amount of power.

Solution: PSU are very easy to replace. If you are a gamer who puts high demands on your system with large amount of RAM and high powered graphics cards, you should definitely upgrade to bigger power supply unit.

#4 Corrupt Files

Problem: Many programs, especially ones with online access have encoding problems. Not to mention malware which is purposely coded to disrupt your system. They leave broken foot prints in many areas of your PC memory. However, once these programs are disengaged or removed from your computer, it leaves the error filled tags which also are known as corrupt files. Dlls, Direct Link Library, are files that are shared by multiple programs and are especially sensitive to damage. If one rogue programs damages a dll file, registry file or any essential process, it can cause computer crashes.

Solution: You can repair these files if you are in possession of your original Windows CD. Both XP and Vista offer a wonderful scan and repair tool that can usually repair your disrupted system and stops computer crashes.

How to use Window's SFC Scan and Repair command:

1.Click Start

2. Right Click the Command Prompt or type cmd

3. Type sfc/scannow

4. The tool will scan for damaged files. When prompted provide the Windows original disk for repair.

Remember that computer crashes are not random occurrences. There is a source for this fatal error. You just have to pin point and discover the cause. Remember to always update drivers when install new hardware or any resources intensive software. Show your PC love and care by cleaning it's external and internal parts.

MAJOR CAUSES OF PIMPLES AND ACNE

1) Bacteria - Bacteria is one of the main factors that can lead to acne breakouts. This is especially true if you do not cleanse your face thoroughly at the end of the day. As we go through the day, we are exposed to pollutions, dirt, fumes and etc. Bacteria that are built up on the skin should be eliminated. To do this, it is most effective to use an acne face wash that is aimed at removing bacteria on the skin. This will keep the acne causing bacteria at bay and prevent new breakouts.

2) Excess oil - People with oily skin have the tendency to have acne. Overproduction of oils in the skin can cause the pores to be clogged. This, in combination with bacteria, is the perfect condition for acne to form. To treat acne, you have to keep your skin dry. However, this does not mean to dehydrate your skin. You still need water content to keep your skin moist but you have to cut out the oil. The best treatment for this is to use a product containing salicylic acid. This agent will help to reduce excessive oil on the skin as well as to unclog pores.

3) Hormones - An imbalance in the hormones can be triggered by a number of factors. It can be due to puberty, menstruation, poor diet and stress. To deal with hormone imbalance, it is best to use acne herbal supplements. These supplements are aimed at treating acne and keeping out bodies' composition well balanced. Also, it is safer to consume these herbal supplements than prescriptive medication, as they are natural.

me and my friend Patrick walking into a store, and two paparazzi come up out of nowhere (like usual) and start throwing questions at me...
one of them being, "Hey Lindsay, what do you have to say about people commenting on your sisters implants?"
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my response simply was, "Did you really just ask me that? She is a 14 year old girl, and you are a pedophile!"
i was caught out of nowhere so i didn't really come up with the proper response at the time.. there's many other things that i felt like saying, but why give it to a random guy with a camera so that he can make money!
All i am trying to say is, is that, i was raised with a wonderful family surrounding me, of course we have our ups and downs, but all in all my mother taught us to appreciate what we have been given. Nor would she ever encourage, or allow a 14 year old child to alter her body.
i am not judging people that do, but i am just saying that its not something that my family finds necessary to do, especially when you're not even fully developed yet!
It is hard enough being 14 years old and you have enough insecurities to begin with, then add being in the public eye...
i just find it really disconcerting that people have to focus on the negative and that some people are sooooo bored with their own lives that they need to manifest lies to hurt another person.
in a more positive light...
i got some great clothes from alexander wang and i miss samantha cuz she's out of town :(
have a wonderful day everyone~
til next time..

SOLVENT RECYCLING

Today, industries have evolved from being too much commercial into an entity taking care of the environment. Industries today have adopted a recycling program for their waste materials before it goes into the environment. The Waste Recovery System that each company implemented really worked.

In many cases, solvent has become the major problem in industries once they release it as waste. That is why many industries have adopted a Solvent Recovery System that will enable them you reuse the substance, and the end material is safe to release as total waste that is free from harmful substance that is detrimental to heath of human beings and the environment. Solvent Recovery is now the major concern in every industry in the world. Recycling is the only means in having a safe environment to live in and for the next generation.

SAM RONSON AND LINDASAY LOHAN ARE TRULY IN A RELATIONSHIP


Samantha Ronson is talks about her "relationship" with Lindsay Lohan in the pages of the new Harper's Bazaar. Because you know who loves lesbians? Housewives. That's science: When asked about Lohan, Samantha is polite but firm. "I'm not going to talk about Lindsay because she's my friend, you know? She's great. She's also 22 years old. I think people forget that. With the Internet the way it is, one second we're enemies, one second we're best friends, one second we're lovers, and then we're broken up."

By press time, reports had trickled out on the Web that Samantha had changed her personal status on Facebook to "in a relationship," while photos of her and Lohan holding hands had circulated. She is accustomed to the speculation. "Even the airport-security guy in Canada asked me, 'So, is it true?'" laughs Samantha. "It's like, 'Oh, yeah, I'm telling you.'" So, reading between the lines, I've finally concluded this whole lesbian engagement thing is an orchestrated effort to revive Lindsay's career. But who is she really having sex with, and where are they hiding the bodies? (You can't talk if you're dead.) I mean, sure, Lindsay could be sleeping with just one guy who's on the payroll, but that would constitute monogamy which is a fancy word for "crazy talk."

DANGEROUS WORDS WOMEN USE

Nine Dangerous Words Women Use

1.) Fine: This is the word women use
to end an argument when they are right
and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting
dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if
you have just been given five more
minutes to watch the game before
helping around the house.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before
the storm. This means something, and
you should be on your toes. Arguments
that begin with Nothing usually end in
Fine.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not
permission. Don't Do It!

5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a
word, but is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A loud
sigh means she thinks you are an idiot
and wonders why she is wasting her
time standing here and arguing with
you about Nothing. (Refer back to #3
for the meaning of Nothing.)

6.) That's Okay: This is one of the
most dangerous statements a women can
make to a man. That's Okay means she
wants to think long and hard before
deciding how and when you will pay for
your mistake.

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you,
do not question, or Faint. Just say
you're welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of
saying SCREW YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it:
Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has
told a man to do several times, but is
now doing it herself. This will later
result in a man asking "What's wrong?"
For the woman's response refer to #3.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER

WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water
treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute.

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours.

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this article shares it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

ANGEL ON EARTH


She is one of the most beautiful faces ever seen in Philippine cinema. At a tender age, she has excelled from the ranks of teenie booby girls and as they say, with room for advancement. She can dance, sing, act, what more can you ask for. sorry CARLO AQUINO SHE WILL NEVER BE YOURS! Young actress Angelica David Panganiban says she is the only daughter of Annabell Panganiban and a father she didn’t know by name. “Maybe I knew his name when I was a child but I’ve forgotten it now,” she says. She has no memories of her father either. “Only a picture,” she says. And she doesn’t miss him. “I never grew up with a father,” she adds. “Had I felt his presence then, I could have missed him today.”

In her childhood, Angelica had thought that her grandfather, Alfredo Panganiban, was her father, until her playmates set her aright. “I was playing in a playmate’s house and told the rest that my daddy was coming home soon with plenty of pasalubong (gifts).’ But they told me, ‘He’s not your daddy, he’s your lolo. You don’t have a daddy…’ I didn’t cry. It wasn’t an issue for me; I was too young then.”

The only time she wished her father was around, Angelica says, was two years ago, when she celebrated her debut. “He could have been my first dance,” she says wistfully. Her Lolo Alfredo graciously did the honor.

Amazingly, no one has yet come forward to claim paternity of this young actress who starred in such movies as “Antipolo Massacre,” her first film, “Separada” (where she won a Famas for Best Child Actress), and “Santa Santita.”All she knows about him, says Angelica, is that her parents had separated when she was two. He was crazy (baliw), her mother had told her.

It was no big deal, she recalls. In grade school, Angelica remembers having a group of friends called “barkadahang walang ama” (friends without fathers). “All my friends’ parents were separated. Their stories were worse than mine. One’s father was said to have been ran over by a train. Another said her mother chopped off her father’s head, and so on.”

Only recently did her mother started telling her the truth, but piecemeal. “My parents separated, he’s now settled in Guam and has another family.” That’s all she knows and that’s how far she’ll go answering any more queries about her family.

Aida Araojo of the private, non-sectarian St. Vincent School at West Avenue, Quezon City gave SIM access to the girl’s records. Angelica was born on November 4, 1986 in Caloocan City. Listed as her parents are Alfredo Panganiban, a taxi operator in Guam, and Melania Panganiban, a housewife. Angelica finished elementary school in 1999 at St. Vincent in Teacher’s Village, Quezon City, and her high school in 2003 at St. Vincent, West Avenue. The pretty lass was the Junior-Senior Prom Princess in 2002 and Miss Junior and Senior Prom in 2003.

She was a good student, recalls Luzviminda Pastores, Angelica’s teacher in Physical Education, Health Education, and Music, in third and fourth year. “She was very attentive, did her lessons, and participated actively in class discussions. She even sang once, complete with action, even when her voice was not that good. She was very responsible. She was usually absent twice a week, but when she came to class, she knew her lessons. Because she was balancing her show biz and class schedules, she was only an average student.”

Marite Modino, her third- and fourth-year Social Studies teacher, says. “She was very low-profile. Hindi mayabang. She came to class with her hair tied at the back, with no makeup on. Hindi maarte. (She wasn’t fussy). One time during their bivouac, I made her roll over the mud and she did.”

Angelica had plenty of suitors, even having an MU (mutual understanding) with another student during her senior year, but she didn’t make any trouble, her teachers recall. She also didn’t talk about her father. Modino says, “She says she never knew who her father was.”

Apparently, the girl is an exception to the usual profile of children who come from dysfunctional families. Says Dr. Laurie Ramiro, who teaches Behavioral Science and Psychology in UP, Manila: “In general, those coming from broken families find it hard to adjust to their own family life because of lack of a model. But there are exceptions. If there is a powerful male figure in the family, say, Angelica’s grandfather, the void can be filled up. The big factor is the surrogate parent. What’s important is not the (biological) parent per se, but the caretaker of the child.”

But being fatherless can have a negative impact, continues Ramiro. One manifestation of this, she says, is “the preference for older men as intimate partners. It’s like having a proxy (for the father).” In most cases, the affected child would have difficulty choosing a partner and would have a hard time maintaining a relationship. “There is always that fear that the husband would leave her too.”

So far, Angelica seems to have a “normal psychosexual development.” Her on and off sweetheart for the past five years, Carlo Aquino, is only a year older than her. He’s 20, she’s 19. Says Ramiro, “Naturally, Angelica would expect to feel love, affection, and emotional security from Carlo.”

“Carlo is the man that Angelica will spend the rest of her life with,” confidently declares Angelica’s classmate and friend Kevin Samson. “Their relationship is so strong that it can survive any storm.” That includes a painful split from Carlo two years back which had tongues wagging that when Angelica left for the US, her friend and showbiz colleague Camille Prats and Carlo had gotten romantic. Camille, some reports go, is now making peace with Angelica with her frequent phone calls.

“I like that,” says this star of the defunct TV shows, “Ang TV” and “Vietnam Rose.” “We will recover from that situation. We’ll just take it slowly.” Carlo has been forgiven and is back in her arms.

Angelica says that she’s drawn to Carlo’s expressive eyes and unpredictable nature. “I don’t know what’s going on inside his mind. He’s deep.” Emotionally, she’s attracted to him because he is “caring.”

Angelica, admittedly, is emotionally frail. She recalls how inconsolable she was when her relatives who used to live with her and her mother in a Commonwealth compound, all left for a better life in the United States. She was only 11, and felt deserted by family.

“I felt like I lost my world and that my life had no meaning and purpose. It was like somebody died in the family,” she recalls. “I cried every night.” She would later tell herself: “I will save a lot of money and get them all back here. I will give them jobs, a house.”

She was just dreaming then, Angelica says, but that dream may yet come true. Her uncle and his family, she reveals, will be coming home for good in the next four or five years. “They gave up on life in the US. I promised to give them work here and send their children to school.”

Angelica says she enjoys the various roles she has played in her show biz career: a ghost in “White Lady,” a superhero in “Ronin,” and a bombshell on the cover of Maxim Philippines’ maiden issue. But the bigger satisfaction, she says, comes from being “able to help my family,” a family that Angelica Panganiban—a woman with a mysterious past—wants to protect against the world.

She really is indeed an angel here on earth. I Believe!

FINDING LOVE IN A NEW WAY

I love reading stories and this story that I am about to share to you is one that I got from reading the book, Ripples of Joy. Learn and feel the love and share it to others.

My recovery from an intricate foot surgery was long and difficult, and I was feeling very sorry for myself, confined, as I was to wheelchair or hopping about balanced on a walker. I despaired of ever walking again and enjoying normal mobility. To make matters worse, it was summer, and I missed being near the soothing seaside and watching the waves roll in.

One weekend, my daughter Cindy, her roommate Georgan, and their two handsome Labradors came to visit. They had driven from central California in a van large enough to accommodate all of us, including my wheelchair. When asked where I’d like to go for a drive. I immediately responded, “To the beach!”

“Dog’s Beach” is a special section of the coastline nearby where, for stretch of a mile, dog owners are allowed to bring their dogs. Naturally this is where we went, especially as the dogs had never experienced the ocean and the girls were eager to see their reaction.

My wheelchair could not manage the sand, so the girls set me on the sidewalk high above the water, where I had a good view and could watch them play fetch with the dogs. It was fun to see the girls toss a stick into the waves and see the dogs happily bark as they retrieved the sticks and brought them back for more of the game.

Their play had gone on for about ten minutes when one of the dogs, Sky, suddenly left the water’s edge and ran up the bank of sand to the sidewalk where I was sitting. She came up to me, laid her head on my lap, and gazed into my face with her beautiful eyes as if to say, “Are you all right? I know something must be wrong if you’re not down by the water with us.” I gave her a big hug and encouraged her to go back to play.

A few minutes later, Sky was back again, checking on me, head on my lap, and telling me with her eyes, “I care for you.” Those eyes of hers, those soulful eyes, brought me close to tears.

When we got home and the dogs and girls were hosed off and fed, I was relaxing in an armchair with my cast-enclosed foot up on an ottoman. Soon, Sky was at my armchair, her head up and her eyes telling me that she was still on duty watching out for me. So expressive were her eyes that I could almost hear her words of concern and support.

When the visit was over and the girls had gone back to central California, the memory of Sky stayed with me. She had taught me a lesson: just the expression of caring and concern had a salutary effect. It made me feel warm and secure-and yes, loved.

Time passed. I healed and went back to my work as a school librarian.

Back at work, I used the lesson that I learned from Sky to change how I dealt with staff and students. Where once I had passed another teacher with just a quick “Hi,” I now slowed down, made eye contact, asked “how’s it going today?” and waited for an answer. When students seemed overwhelmed by all the books to choose from, I took time to ask about their interests and guided them to books they might like.

Taking time and extra effort to show caring and support was more than its own reward. The staff now comes into the library with big smiles, and the kid think it’s a good idea to give me a hug as a thank you for the experience of a book they enjoyed.

I hope this will be permanent way of life for me-showing that I care. After all, what should Sky think if I failed to put into practice all she’s taught me?

LOVE IS SPELLED AS T-I-M-E

When Joey was 5 years old, his kindergarten teacher told the class to draw a picture of something that they love. Joey drew a picture of his family, and then he took his red crayon and drew a big circle around the stick figures on his paper. Joey wanted to write a word on top of the circle, so he got up from his chair and approached the teacher’s desk.

“Teacher,” he asked, “how do you spell----?”

But before he could finish his question, the teacher told him to go back to his seat and not interrupt the class again. Joey folded the paper and stuck it in his pocket.

When Joey got home from school that day, he remembered his drawing and dug it out of his pocket. He smoothed it out on the kitchen table, got a pencil from his backpack, and looked at the big red circle. Joey’s mother was busy cooking supper, but Joey wanted to finish the picture before he showed to her.

“Mom, how do you spell----?”
“Joey, can’t you see I am busy right now? Why don’t you go outside and play? And don’t slam the door,” she told him.

Joey folded the drawing and stuck it back in his pocket. Later that evening Joey dug the picture out from his pocket again. He looked at the big red circle and then ran into the kitchen to get a pencil. He wanted to finish the drawing before he showed it to his father. Joey smoothed out all the wrinkles and laid the picture on the floor near his dad’s big recliner.

“Daddy, how do you spell----?”
“Joey I’m reading the paper right now, and I don’t want to be bothered. Why don’t you go outside and play? And don’t slam the door.”

Joey folded the drawing and put it in his pocket. His mom found the drawing the next morning while she was doing the laundry. She threw it in the trash without ever opening it, along with a small rock, a piece of string, and two marbles Joey had found while he was outside playing.

When Joey was twenty-eight years old, his daughter Annie drew a picture. It was a picture of their family. Joey laughed when five-year-old Annie pointed to a squiggle stick figure and said, “That’s you daddy!”

Annie laughed too. Joey looked at the big rd circle his daughter had drawn around the stick figures and began to slowly trace the circle with his finger.

“I’ll be right back,” Annie said as she jumped off her father’s lap. When she came back she had a pencil clutched in her small hand. Her father moved the drawing aside to make room on his lap for his small daughter.

Annie positioned the pencil point near the top of the big red circle. “Daddy, how do you spell LOVE?” she asked.

Joey gathered the child in his arms and guided her small hand as he helped her form the letters.

“Love is spelled T-I-M-E,” he told her.

A STORY OF KINDNESS

I am a caregiver. My forty-year-old husband, David, has a little known genetic disease called Huntington’s disease. He can do almost nothing for himself.

I can tell you that caregivers experience a wide range of emotions, depending on the largely upon the person whom we are caring. Lately, I have to admit; I’ve been feeling there’s really no reward for what I am doing.
David has difficulty feeding for himself, and swallowing is accomplished only with great deal of effort. One day, with more food landing on his shirt than in his mouth, David and I were going through the usual “ change the shirt” game.
“David lift up your arms,” I pleaded. And then, “if you do, we can go and have ice cream.”

David’s garbled speech made his response to my urging impossible to comprehend. I did figure out, however, that he had no intention of lifting his arms or cooperating as I changed his shirt.

I felt myself tense up, and I sighed in frustration. I didn’t need this today. Try as I would, I simply couldn’t understand what he was saying. And we weren’t moving any near our goal-getting him into a clean shirt.

‘David,” I finally said, “my job is to feed you, make sure you take your medications, and help your doctors and nurses. Your job is to help me help you. You need to lift your arms, please.”

With an endearing smile so like that of the man I had married before the ravages of Huntington’s disease took him away, David said, “No. My job is to say ‘I love you’ in as clear voice as possible.”

Care giving is not something I would ever choose to do. Imagine most people would not choose what is usually an almost thankless job-especially without pay. Still, there are rewards. Remembering David’s smile and his comment about his “job” is a nice memory I can pull out on days when things get really tough. We all have our Jobs, and David’s job is to say, “I love you.”

David, I love you too.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION

Hotel accommodation used to be very hard since you need to go to the office of the agency where you are going to book your stay or accommodation. But now booking for a hotel accommodation is very easy and hassle free. Online booking for an accommodation is what tourist do nowadays.

When I went to London Last summer, I personally booked my accommodation online. There are so many London Hotels but I was able to manage to find the right accommodation for my stay there. Since I will be staying for 8 days, I decided to book my stay in two hotels. For the first four days, I stayed at the Cromwell Crown Hotel London. I selected this hotel because it is near the major attractions in London and it is also near the convention center where my seminar will be held. For the following four days, I stayed at Norfolk Towers London. This hotel has three star rating and considered a tourist haven when in London.

TEEN CHOICE AWARDS

“Hannah Montana” starlet Miley Cyrus played host at the 10th annual running of the event, which showered celebrities with dozens of surfboard trophies in film, TV, music, sports and fashion categories.

EVA MENDEZ GOES TOPLESS


Eva Mendes is more than just the face for the new Calvin Klein Secret Obsession campaign. She's also the bush, boobs and nipples. Just scope out the NSFW version of the photo above along with the even more NSFW commercial after the jump. The spot is already banned from US television because, holy crap, it's Eva Mendes totally freaking topless. Although, with our economy in its current state, you figure the FCC would want to encourage consumers to buy shit, but what do I know? I'm just a simple man who can bend steel in his bare hands. At any rate, here's looking forward to her next campaign: Eva Mendes' Clitoris for Michelin tires.

PINK IS DATING AGAIN


There was sadness in the air when Pink and her husband separated this past February. But now it looks like the rebellious rocker is moving forward by stepping out with a new man.

BARELY NAKED IS JESSICA ORIGLIASSO


Admittedly, I’ve only heard about Aussie pop sensation The Veronicas in passing. A Google search reveals that the group is fronted by twin sisters — neither of which are named Veronica — Jessica and Lisa Origliasso. However, Google doesn’t reveal how Jessica likes to take topless pictures of herself because here she is, boobies and all.

Jessica’s publicist denies that this is her, simply saying, “I’m confident that the girl in the topless photograph is not her.” I’d take his word for it. Publicists are a beacon of truth.

PAULINA RUBIO THE VERSATILE ACTRESS

This woman is the hottest property in the Hollywood arena today. She has been featured in several mens magazines because of her sexy body and charming eyes. I cannot deny that she has a seductive look. Men go crazy for Paulina Rubio. According to some sources, she will be having a show on television. The title and schedule remains confidential.

RIHANNA - BARELY NAKED


Rihanna is in New York City, and she's wearing a see-through shirt. And you know what that means: We can see Rihanna's nipples! And now we know that Rihanna has a nipple ring. I bet you didn't expect to...WELL. Every thing happened with a purpose right and that is to please and feed our eyes.

JESSICA SIMPSON POSES FOR ELLE MAGAZINE


Jessica Simpson is making the rounds doing as much publicity as she can for her upcoming country album Do You Know, which comes out September 9th. She’s on the cover of the upcoming issue of Elle magazine, and has an interview as well. Jessica prattles on about loves past and present, then gets to talking about her CD. She says that all the songs are based on something that’s happened to her (she doesn’t claim writing credit). One of the songs is about abuse, and when the reporter asks her if that song also happened, she clams up a bit but says yes.

“There’s nothing on my album that you’re gonna hear that I don’t relate to or that I haven’t experienced. Because the only way I know how to sing is from life experience.”
