What Giselle Means |
You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. |

Mid-term Week is Over!
After days of studying and several sleepless nights, mid-term week has finally come to end. It means, I can now relax myself! Hehe. But that doesn't keep me from worrying. I am not so sure about my results in the exam especially in my accounting. It's quite challenging...Hmp! =(
I just hope that I don't have a failure mark in any of my exams especially in major....
relax...relax ka lang...

In Speaking of Names...
By Sarah, Staff Editor
With many readers expressing their opinions on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's choices of Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline for their new fraternal twins, we spoke to Linda Rosenkrantz, co-author of The Baby Name Bible: The Ultimate Guide By America's Baby-Naming Experts, about using family monikers and establishing naming traditions.
Angelina Jolie has defied expectations once again. Instead of having two girls named Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane as per projected rumors, she had mixed pair Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, and opted to look back at her and Brad Pitt's family trees for inspiration.
With Knox -- a rarely used Scottish/English/Irish surname and the middle name of Brad's grandfather, Hal Knox Hillhouse, the Jolie-Pitts established their own tradition -- instead of their sons bearing the same first initial, they share a final letter "x," and for their middle names, "n." And like Maddox, Knox is a strong name that has a good chance of being adopted by other parents.
Léon also has family connections, being the name of Angelina's great-great grandfather. It's also possible (though a stretch) that the name reflects his mother's charitable work, as one of the places she traveled to as Goodwill Ambassador to the UN was Sierra Leone.
Vivienne, the French form of Vivian, reflects her place of birth -- something her parents like to do -- and its meaning, "life, alive" resonates in the uplifting way that her brother Pax's name projects an image of peace. It wouldn't be too surprising to learn that this name was chosen to honor a family member or friend as well.
Marcheline is the French-sounding name of Angelina Jolie's late mother, with whom she was very close, and whose heritage was French-Canadian and Native American. An actress, she was born Marcia Lynne, which she seems to have transformed into a distinctive version of the French 'Marcelline.'

Indeed, Bea had barely started taping her upcoming series I Love Betty La Fea but it seems like her fans can hardly wait to see her back on TV as reflected on their overwhelming response in ABS-CBN.com’s survey. In return to her admirers’ loyal support, the talented young actress is doing her best to deliver well in her first venture into a drama-comedy soap. "Sobrang pressured ako but at the same time tini-turn ko siya into excitement. Challenge siya for me kasi first time ko mag-cocomedy. It’s not easy kasi mga kasama ko mga beterano like Ms. Ai Ai (delas Alas). Siyempre ayaw mo magpahuli ‘di ba? Ayaw mo maging cause ng cut ng every take," shared Bea during her recent contract-signing for the said show.
Watch out for more exciting polls and the awarding of Bea Alonzo’s crown for being the number one Drama Princess here on www.ABS-CBN.com.
For me, She is still the NUMBERONE!

Look Who's Back!!!
Bea Alonzo loves her "Betty-ful" Transformation
by Rachelle Siazon
A lot of work was required for Bea to achieve the perfect "ugly" look as Betty. She had to wear fake bangs, her eyebrows were "thickened" using stencils from false eyelashes, and her hair was turned into a long curly dried-out mess. Bea even wore fake braces that were specially designed to fit comfortably and to help her speak easily.
The young actress never had any qualms about going through her reverse makeover. In fact, Bea is willing to do more to give justice to the well-loved character. "Binibigay ko na lahat sa workshop. Every night pinapanood ko yung Colombian Betty La Fea at 4 am na ako nakakatulog kasi talagang na-hook ako sa story at sa character," she says.
She hopes that viewers will also see the lovable attributes in her character that she found in Betty. "Gusto ko kay Betty yung pagiging secure niya sa sarili niya. May confidence siya in the way she carries herself despite how she looks. Alam niya yung mga gifts sa kanya ni Lord, the talent and intelligence na hindi lahat ng tao meron."
Bea also has praises for her co-stars in I Love Betty La Fea, most of whom she will be working with for the very first time. She commends their professionalism and she couldn’t be more flattered than to be surrounded by a star-studded cast.

Carnival Ride
Last Saturday, after our make-up class in accounting, my circle of friends-- Ray, Rexter, Kayrel, Mitchell, Karl, and I went to the carnival just located near XU.
We played the color game althought it's a gamble...
We odeon the caterpillar ride by pair: Ray & Kayrel, Mitch & Rexter, Karl & Me...it was really fun. It's like being a child again in that moment. It's been a very long time when I last rode on a carnival ride like this. It was way back when I was still a child. It was on the feast day of San Vicente Ferrer at Suarez, Iligan. I rode on a caterpillar with Mama, my brother Ken, and my cousin, Ate Nabing...
I really felt excited when I rode again on the caterpillar for the second time around.
Then after that, we rode on a horror train...It wasn't really scary but it was really fun with a lot of screaming, shouting, and laughing. The horror train have three rounds in going through the so-called dark tunnel.
Then we played again the color game...my one peso became five! High five!
And we played the 'shooting gun'...basta!!!
Afterwards, we went to the Night Cafe and look for some things...ust window shopping.
I wanted to buy a bag but I am still undecided...so next time nalang. Anyways, hindi naman tatakbo ang night cafe. Hehe.
Basta I had so much fun that day aside from the fact that Sir Bacadon gave us bonus points to pull out our grades.

Kaleidoscope by Danielle Steel
Lately, I've read a book entitled 'Kaleidoscope' by Danielle Steel. It's a fiction, of course. It's about a stage actor who was once a soldier who fell in-love with a Frenchwoman named Solange when he was in France. Their love bear fruit to three wonderful daughters namely Hilary, Alexandra, and Megan Walkers.
Eventually and unfortunately, their love ended to a tragedy that changed their daughter's lives.
Alexandra and Megan were adopted by a prominent and descent families. Alexandra, for instance, live in a luxurious life.
While her sisters live in a wonder life, Hilary on the other hand experienced the other way of life. Hers was a life full of misery, dreary, and pains. It was like all the pains on the earth were filled on her. It was living in hell while still on earth. It was a total Hades!
After experiencing such pain and misery, with Hilary's persistent determination, she was able to free herself from all those kind of experience which caused her having a dark past.
She left her dark past behind; a past that she will no longer face again. She is ready to face a new world; hoping that she will find her sisters, Alexandra and Megan, and reunite with them.
To be continued...
Actually I am not yet finish reading. Haha. I just want to share the first past. It was a poignant story. It really made me cry especially in the part of Hilary's life.

Still Lucky...I feel so blessed!
I've been having a hard time in coping up with my major subject. I always had the urge and determination of passing it but it turned to a failure (but not all). Failure; such a lonely and dreadful word! A challenging subject plus a terror teacher is equal to a total nosebleed. I've been using the term 'nosebleed' ever since I started college. They always use it to describe a crucial condition especially in our department where our condition/situation is always crucial.
The result of my latest quiz was a failure. before I receive it, I already had in my mind that it's failed yet I still hope that it pass. My heart broke out like a glass broken into million pieces when I saw my very low score. I felt so hopeless and 'twas like the end of my future...my goal...my career...I really thought that I am already out of the passing list but when sir announced the passers, I was really surprised when I heard my name. I still pass in the passing list? I am supposedly out since the last test and I still passed now that I failed again? How come? I never mind to ask myself further...I just want to feel the moment of total bliss...the moment of reality! Haha. =)
I am still lucky. I feel so blessed! After having such low grades, I still passed. I think I deserve it. I am always so determined to pass and not just pass but to excel. I felt that God never leave me and I know He never will. And as the song goes "God will make a way where there seems to be no way. He works in ways, we cannot see, He will make a way for me". I believe in the saying that goes "Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa tao ang gawa."
Prayer plus labor is equal to success!
