Fake Magazine Cover

By Ovic Etruiste

Here’s a nice project for your photo- Fake Magazine Cover. For this project, I use the picture of my daughter Charmagne. Remember her from an old article that I have written: The Law of Least Resistance? That 9 year old girl will be seventeen years old on January 2009 thus I choose the template magazine cover of Seventeen.

How it’s done? Easy! Just go to the site of Fake Magazine Cover. Upload your photo then choose which magazine template you want to use (there’s too many to choose from). The magazine cover with your photo as cover model will open in a new window. Scroll below the picture and click Flash Editor to layout your photo. Then resize and reposition the picture to fit the magazine cover by clicking the +/- button, up/down/left/right arrows and the rotate buttons. Click DONE when you’re finished with the size and position editing. Right click on the photo and save the finished cover magazine in your computer.

I also check how the picture looks like using the Cosmopolitan magazine template. See the finish product here

Why The Wedding Ring Is Worn On The Fourth Finger…

Note from the Editor

This article was forwarded to me by a friend without mention of the author. Let me just say this is written by Anonymous.

Why The Wedding Ring Is Worn On The Fourth Finger…

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger? There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese…..

Thumb represents your Parents, Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings, Middle finger represents your-Self, Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner and the Last (Little) finger represents your children. (more…)

Happy 23rd Birthday Son

By Ovic Etruiste

Alger Benedict. Bene for short. He is my first child. I conceived him while I’m reviewing for my Chemical Engineering Licensure Exam. No wonder, he is very intelligent, smart, articulate and a quick thinker (So if you want to have intelligent kids, read a lot and read aloud so your baby can absorb all the knowledge while inside the womb).

For seven years, he is my only child. It was easy to go on vacation with only him in tow. In those years, family is just Bene, Daddy and me. (more…)

My Little President

By Ina Rabino

As a mom, I know that we can only tell how the challenge of being pregnant, the pressure of the upcoming due and the pain and discomfort of giving birth all fade away from the moment you see that little creature grows up bit by bit, seeing and discovering everything wonderful about them. That’s I think is the best prize you get from carrying a life in your tummy for 9 months without the guarantee of how easy or difficult it would be to you. You see, (more…)

He Is The Answer To My Prayer

By Sheryll Nebrida

My husband was introduced to me 3 times by a common friend since June - Sept 2002 but oddly, I don’t recognize him and the second and third meeting always seems to be the first time. Maybe because at that time I am mending a broken heart.

I started going to the novena of St Jude every Thursday on June 2002. My prayer request is to give me back my ex. I am praying that my ex boyfriend will come back to me and hoping that he will be back (more…)

Love as Sweet As Chocolates

By Arly Bernal

I have an officemate who happened to have a single brother who is also looking for someone to be with. What my officemate (Ate Mariz) did was, she gave my cellphone number to his brother (Marlon) and he started texting me, it was from December 2000 to January of 2001.I’m doing a sideline business which is homemade chocolates especially for Valentine’s Day and I ask Marlon if he wants to offer it also to his officemates and colleagues and he did not hesitate to see it. February 12, 2001 Ate Mariz and Marlon came to our house to get some of my home made chocolates to sell and it was the first time Marlon and I saw each other. The first time I saw him, I told to myself “Wow cute kaya (more…)

Hello my dear friends,

Do you believe that God gives out messages and instructions that you must deliver and it will keep on bugging you not unitl you do so? I got this 4am this morning but I tell the Lord, I’ll just post it in the morning since I’m still sleepy. Morning comes and I just can’t go online and I said I’ll do it lunch. The day is almost over for offices and God makes sure He nags me to do this. (more…)

Conquer Cravings!

By: Jennifer R. Scott

The way you respond to food cravings just might make or break your success at weight loss and maintenance. Veering off from your eating plan occasionally will not be earth-shattering, but if you make a habit of giving in to your eating impulses, your moments of weakness will certainly catch up with you. The good news is, if you remember these tips you just might be able to conquer those pesky cravings.

1. It will pass.

Believe it or not, you can simply wait out a craving. Sometimes we may even mistake a craving for actual hunger. Playing the waiting game will help you distinguish between the two. If you still want something 20 minutes later, chances are you really are hungry. (more…)

A Bad Experience May Be Turned Into Something Really Good

by: Butch Salvador

God makes all things work together for the good!

There was a boy selling Uraro ( its a white crispy and brittle biscuit) at buses in Laguna. shouting so loud his commodity, “UUUrRRaroo kayo dyan!”. The bus
driver who wanted to play a trick on the kid, applies the breaks that caused the boy to fumble and fall together with his biscuits. Eh di durog lahat ng paninda nya! The boy slowly got up… picked up his paninda and put it back on his arms…and started
shouting…. PULBORON , PULVBORON KAYO DYAN!

Mga ka entrepreneurs at mga ka businessman… a little lesson from the kid. Don’t lose hope! A bad experience may be turned into something really good.

All We Have Is Today

Originally published in 2001 including Editor’s note. 

Note from the Editor

I just can’t help but think of the time when I was contemplating on resigning from work and yet thinking how it will be affecting the family coffers. I already got 5 kids then so I decided to resign and give up the corporate life. And, as expected, our financial status turned negative. Debts have built up but we managed to survive coz the Good Lord provided for our needs. But what’s great, the family relationship have greatly improved and the kids are growing up with great character and attitude. That’s my reward for being a stay-at-home mom. I didn’t wait till I’m ready to resign, for I will never be ready. I didn’t wait till I have saved for tomorrow, for no one’s sure if tommorrow will come. One thing I’m sure of, I have TODAY and I’ll enjoy it with my family while my TODAY lasts.

Paper Trading - Investing in Stocks Without Real Money

By Ovic Etruiste

My friend told me the other day that she wants to learn how to invest in the stock market but she don’t have the money yet to invest. My advise: Save at least P25,000 for your initial investment but while saving, start learning stock investing. The best way to learn is doing actual stock investing with the use of imaginary money.

This is called Paper Trading. You participate in the stock market using real stock price movement but using not real money. (more…)

Learn How To Invest In Stocks Lesson 3

By Ovic Etruiste

Were you able to watch the evening news last week that featured a lady who made a million in the stocks out of her P40,000.00 investment in 2002? What! That’s 2500% growth! Amazing! It may sound unbelievable but it is true. Making 5000% or more in 5 years is easy during the bull run of the Philippine Stock Market since 2003 to the present. Just for instance, you bought 12,000 shares of MVC yesterday (from lesson 1 you were taught to find the company represented by the codes) at P1.04. That’s an investment of P12,480.00. Today it closed at P1.32. That’s a gain of 27% in just 2 days or in peso, that’s an earning of P3360. (more…)

Routine Matters To Kids

by Barbara Curtis

Routine is to a child what walls are to a house; it gives boundaries and dimension to his life,” wrote child psychiatrist Dr. Rudolf Dreikurs a few generations ago in the recently-reissued “Children: the Challenge”.  Even as other parenting trends have come and gone, experts have consistently agreed that children need a daily structure to meet their security needs. What is meant by daily routine?  Not a rigid timetable, but simply a predictable  sequence of events followed day after day. A typical preschooler’s morning might be: wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, clean the kitchen with Mommy, have playtime while Mommy does her work, put things away, read a story with Mommy, wash hands, have lunch.

Unleash the Highest Potential of Your Money

By Ovic Etruiste

I was able to attend this session of Unleash last June 2 with my husband. It was not the typical seminar/workshop that discussed the serious topic of money management. Unleash called it Edutainment (Educational Entertainment. True enough, you are being entertained while learning. I don’t remember feeling sleepy in those 12-hours training, not even at the holy hour after lunch. How do you feel if you have been listening and learning for 11 straight hours? Super tired?

Learn How To Invest In Stocks Lesson 1

By Ovic Etruiste

The economy is doing great with the reduction in fiscal deficit. Peso is appreciating. Banks have lots and lots of money and loan rate is very very low. With everything in the economy getting better, what could be the disadvantage that we will have with this booming economy.

First, bank deposit rate and even time deposit rate is very low that having large sum of money will not give you income to live by. Gone are the days when some people need not have to work and just live on the interest of their big amount of money in the bank. Second, with the government in good financial standing, even the treasury bonds (more…)

The Proper Thawing of Meat and Poultry

By Ovic Etruiste 

I usually have an advance 3 days list for the family meals. It gives me time to prepare the ingredients in advance. One of the most important preparation of meals is the thawing and the marinating of the chicken, pork or beef meat.

The common practice is bringing out the meat from the freezer to room temperature and let it thaw for an hour or more. Another unsafe practice is thawing meat by pouring warm water. In as much as the meat parts will not thaw all at the same time, (more…)

My Hands Just Did It

By Angela Thompson

The other night my children were being creative and crafty while I spent some time reading my e-mails. Their idea of doing crafts is grabbing scissors and paper and cutting like there is no tomorrow! Once they are finished there are bits of paper everywhere. Well, this night was just like any other as far as I was concerned. I fully expected to have to clean up millions of tiny pieces of paper and I really wasn’t disappointed. However, while I perused my messages, Sam came up to me and asked for the stapler to finish his dragonfly. I took a quick glance at his creation not really expecting to see much more than paper haphazardly cut into pieces. I had to take a second look because his creation actually looked like a dragonfly!

Best and Worst Abdominal Exercises

Author Elizabeth Quinn

How to get six-pack abs

The best ab exercises are surprisingly easy to do. A study at the Biomechanics Lab at San Diego State University looked at a variety of common abdominal exercises in order to determine what really works. The study compared 13 abdominal exercises, ranging from the traditional crunch to more complicated activities, using at-home and gym equipment.

Each of the 13 exercises was ranked for muscle stimulation (measured with EMG) in the rectus abdominus (the long, flat muscle extending the length of the front of the abdomen) and the internal and external obliques (the long, flat muscles extending along the sides of the abdomen at an angle).

The Only Job That Matters

Originally published in 2001 including Editor’s note. 

Note from the Editor

In the article Kids and Attention, we have emphasize the need of a child to be seen. And I want to connect that article to our featured article for this issue: The Only Job That Matters By Robin C.  Westmiller.
