There is no denying that AlDub is a monster hit among Filipinos here and worldwide. Are you one of those who religiously follow AlDub? Can you relate to this love team? What are the things that we can learn from them and apply to marriage? There may be some people who don’t understand why AlDub has such an impact on Filipinos. For them, it is just about watching a silly and shallow “kalyeserye” (or street theater) and all this hype and fanaticism is absurd. Well, it all depends on one’s viewpoint. While it may be shallow, for me as long as the audience can pick up lessons from it then it is not at all foolish to watch it and can be worth our time. We really need more entertainment shows that share positive lessons, regardless of its being shallow, as others might think. It would actually be preferable than shows that claim to have “deep” or intellectual themes but are full of negative lessons and values. So what are the positive lessons that we can learn from AlDub that we can apply to marriage? SENSIBILITY In a marriage relationship it is important to be aware of the feelings. Selfishness should have no place in your married or family life. Once you are married you begin to consider what your spouse wants too. It Read More …

They don’t seem to give up whatever they are going through in life. They will face whatever problem or challenge head-on, even if it keeps on coming back and they can still recover from it. But for you, it’s a different story. You can’t seem to do what they do! One secret of successful people is that they are DETERMINED! Why? When you are determined: √ You don’t back out on anything √ You don’t retreat from any challenge √ Nothing and no one can stop him For example, if you want to lose weight then you won’t mind the work you need to do at the gym and to let go of your favorite sweets.

Maxilom Avenue in Cebu City following the shooting of two Chinese diplomats allegedly by a fellow Chinese consular officer over lunch Wednesday.

The motive, however, remained unknown as the suspects—Li Qing Ling, 60, and his wife, Consul Gou Jing—were still in police custody undergoing questioning. Chief Supt. Prudencio Tom Bañas, police director for Central Visayas, told the Inquirer that investigators had difficulty getting the statement because they had to look for an interpreter. The fatalities were identified as Chinese Deputy Consul Sun Shan and finance officer Hui Li. They died while receiving treatment in two different hospitals, said the city’s police director. Chinese Consul General Song Rong Hua was wounded but was in stable condition in a hospital here, Bañas said. Councilor Dave Tumulak, head of Cebu City’s Command Center, said Sun suffered a gunshot wound in the neck and Hui  in the head. Bañas said Song made a reservation for a function room at Lighthouse Restaurant on General Maxilom Avenue here to celebrate the birthday of a staff member. At least nine Chinese nationals attended the luncheon, including Li and Gou, Bañas said. Read More …
