Eleven Hints of Life..

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.



2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who... See More means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.



3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.



‎4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.



5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.



6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.



7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.



8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.



9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.



10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.



11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends witha tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyonearound you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,you're the... one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Trivia on Noynoy, The New RP President

From the time Congress proclaims a candidate as the duly-elected president, the candidate becomes known as the President-elect. In terms of protocol, a president-elect becomes Number Two in the hierarchy of officials, entitled to all official courtesies of an incumbent president, upon his proclamation as such by the Congress of the Philippines.


The Constitution is clear and specific: The title of the chief executive is “President of the Philippines,” and
takes his oath of office as such, although in certain cases involving formal diplomatic usage, “President of the Republic of the Philippines” is used for diplomatic documents. The honorific for the President of the Philippines is “His/Your Excellency,” but the proper form of address is “Mr. President.” At 42.08% Aquino’s percentage of the votes is the highest plurality since the restoration of democracy, and under the 1987 Constitution. The biggest first-term landslide was Magsaysay in 1953 (68.9%), followed by Quezon in 1935. The biggest second term landslide was Quezon in 1941 (81.78%) followed by Marcos in 1969 (61.5%).

Some relevant numbers:
1. He is the first unmarried president in the history of the country.

He is the first president with no children.

The first
deputy speaker of the House to later become president.

He is the first marksman to become president since Ferdinand Marcos (who belonged to the U.P. rifle team).

He will be the first president since 1992 inaugurated into office without having been vice-president first.

He is the first president since Diosdado Macapagal to be
elected as the candidate of the Liberal Party; also the first president since Macapagal not to have changed political parties (three presidents had no political party membership/positions: Aguinaldo, Laurel, Cory Aquino).

Aquino is the first post-Edsa president to exceed Garcia’s 1957 plurality. Majority Presidents: Quezon (68% in 1935 and 81.78% in 1941),
Roxas 54% in 1946,
Quirino (51% in 1949),
Magsaysay (68.9% in 1953),
Macapagal (55% in 1961),
Marcos (54.76% in 1965, 61.5% in 1969),
Aquino (approx. 51%).
Plurality Presidents: Garcia (41.3%) was the only president elected by plurality prior to 1972.
The lowest plurality ever was Fidel V. Ramos in 1992 (23.6%).
Estrada at 39.6% in 1998 was the first post-Edsa president to nearly match Garcia’s 1957 plurality.

He is the first to use the suffix -III (there have been no Juniors or the Thirds elected president previously).

He is the first president to have a February birthday. Two presidents were born in January: Roxas (January 1), Cory Aquino (January 25); three in March: Laurel (March 9), Ramos (March 18), Aguinaldo (March 22); two in April: Arroyo (April 5), Estrada (Aprril 19); two in August: Quezon (August 19), Magsaysay (August 31); three in September: Osmeña (September 9), Marcos (September 11), Macapagal (September 28); two in November: Garcia (November 4), Quirino (November 16).

The President of the Philippines uses license plate No. 1.

2. The second child of a former president to become president in his own right (he succeeds the first presidential child to become president).

The second president from Tarlac.

He is only the second president (Aguinaldo was the only non-drinker previously) who does not drink.

He will be the second president to be sworn in by a Filipino associate justice of the Supreme Court (his mother was the first), but the fourth president sworn in by an associate justice of a Supreme Court (Quezon in 1943 for the indefinite extension of his term, and Osmeña who succeeded into office in 1944, were sworn in by U.S. Associate Justices Felix Frankfurter and Robert H. Jackson, respectively, in Washington, D.C.).

He is the second president to have studied at the Ateneo de Manila, but the first to have graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University.

Two presidents only partially resided in Malacañang Palace: Laurel, and Estrada (who stayed in the Guest House).

Two presidents were elected by the legislature and not in a national election: Aguinaldo and Laurel.

Two presidents were re-elected to second terms: Quezon and Marcos.

Two presidents were brought to power by People Power revolts: Corazon Aquino and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (our two female presidents).

STOP RACISM!!!! Adam Carolla’s racial assault on Pacquiao and Filipinos


A struggling Italian-American radio host is in trouble for lashing out at the entire Filipino nation including Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao,
calling him illiterate and for implying that the Philippines is a nation of whores

Adam Carolla, a struggling Italian-American comedian who made a name as radio host in his own shows known as 'The Adam Carolla Podcast' , 'Loveline' and 'The Adam Corolla Show', is in big trouble for verbally attacking Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao in his program.
Not contented with his racial assault on the Filipino boxing icon by calling him idiot, illiterate, Corolla continued his tirade on the entire Filipino nation by implying that the Philippines is a nation of whores.






Examiner.com reports:
Adam Carolla starts off his vulgar tirade by bashing Manny for not giving blood before a fight. He then proceeds to say:




















"that Manny is off “praying to chicken bones” and


"that you don’t have to respect him because he’s a “fu**ing idiot”.


“Someone has to tell him that it doesn’t make a difference.”“Here’s how you know when your country doesn’t have a lot going for it: When everything is about Manny Pacquiao.”


“Get a fu**in life as a country”


“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people”


“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”


“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex stores.”


“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?”


It is quite clear from the statement made by Corolla that
he was attacking Pacquiao and the entire Filipino nation.

Whatever his motivation in uttering these racist and degrading statements, he alone would know.
In the meantime,
damage has been done not only in the person of Manny Pacquiao but to the entire Filipino nation.

It is just proper that Adam Carolla make a public apology for his reckless statements. A timely apology could prevent the Filipino people particularly the millions of Pacquiao fans from taking radical actions that will prevent this struggling comedian from repeating the same irresponsible action.
