Ornamental plants are part of Filipinos’ everyday living, cutting across very diverse culture, religion, and political landscape. There is always a pot or two to brighten up the household, or a bunch of flowers to adorn the altar. Like in many other countries, flowers are given to someone as expression of love and affection; it [...]

One of the first ordeals of Overseas Filipino Workers is how to send money to the Philippines. There are a couple of ways to do it. It is sometimes troublesome for some countries, especially here in Japan, where banking laws are probably the most unique in all countries and where the government is very strict about sending money abroad. Some of my suggestions vary from different countries.1. The usual bank-to-bank transaction. This type of transaction is probably the most common for some especially for those who have been sending through the use of this transaction for a long time being already. Sender either needs to have a local currency account from the country where the sender is situated. In some cases, bank-to-bank transaction require foreign banks to have a partner bank in the Philippines. This means that not all banks can execute a bank-to-bank foreign transfer. Check for local listings on your banks. Disadvantage of this transaction is that it may take several days for the mo

Naruto returns on ABS-CBN's Weekday Hero Zone starting January 7, 2007 at 5:30PM. The airing of Naruto episodes here in the Philippines is way different from Japan in terms of season. ABS-CBN labeled "Naruto Shippuuden" as "Season 05". There is actually a delusion on the trailer. One would think that they will show Shippuuden immediately. The real trick behind it was they’re going to show the full Naruto episodes from 001 to 220 (of course including the fillers). After the said marathon, that’s the time they’ll show Shippuuden. So if we do the math, they’ll be resurrecting Naruto on January 7th, with 220 episodes by 5 days a week (of airing) which equates to total of 44 weeks. So if Naruto will premiere by January 7th and if we count 44 weeks from our calendar it will until November 7, 2008. And then the much-awaited Naruto Shippuuden premiere by November 10th. Just my two cents. Watch the video here if it doesn't play.Your Ad Here Subscribe to Hethler's Naruto Shippuud

Doctors in the Philippines are turning themselves into nurses in order to obtain medical positions in the United States due to difficulty in having their medical education recognized by Americans. The resulting brain drain is impacting the quality of medical care in the Philippines. The Cuban government has offered to provide much needed doctors since their nation produces a surplus of medical practitioners. Cuban Ambassador Jorge Rey Jimenez told the Philippine government, “We have lots of doctors and medical practitioners. We have offered them to the Philippines” but have yet to receive a response. Cuba now provides 17,000 doctors and dentists to Venezuela in exchange for oil which has resulted in bringing down maternal and child deaths to only one-fifth of their former level. The United States has one doctor for ever 150 people, Cuba has one for every 159 and the Philippines has one for very 10,000 people. The United States provides military aid to the Philippines, but t

With the steady increase of people unable to cope up with credit card debt in the Philippines, I'm surprised to see debt consolidation not take off in the country. Most people ( a good percentage of call center employees as well ) end up ignoring correspondence from card companies and their legal representatives because there's really no significant consequence if one just throw them mails in to the trash bin without opening them. Unlike in the U.S., there's really no credit report or history to hold valuable. In simple terms, nobody goes to prison because of credit card debt in the Philippines.Nonetheless, we would've seen more people diligently paying their debt if the country had an alternative way of dealing with debt. In the U.S., consolidating debt is huge business and it helps a lot of people with their finances. Individuals with multiple debt and have a hard time coping with the monthly payments can opt to consolidate debt so they would only pay one bill instead of several

My husband is always the type of person who is very obervant. That is the reason why I tell him he knows me very well, from the wrinkling of my nose to the type of mood I have when I walk. Strange, but he knows how I feel the way I move.Now, this is the photo he got from our camera while we were in the Philippines and cruising along Malate area. He said it looks like spaghetti! :) Well, yes. He didn't see anything like that here in the US, and I grinned and told him back, "you do see it when you eat pansit" hehehe...

We all have our dreams of going abroad to hopefully seek the so-called greener pasture. We even imagine of the certain places overseas that we surely would visit once we got there in that particular country. What we forget somehow is that we become strangers to our own land, as the Filipino adage goes, "'wag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan". Highlighted below are the places that I have been to. I never got to many places in the Philippines yet... My Lakbayan grade is D! How much of the...

Uh oh! This girl hasn't got her attitude in the right place. No wonder she's such a controversy. Even her latest song Piece of Me has something for us Filipinos. I wonder what that means. I am taking it as a compliment, that even at her downfall some Filipinos (or some crazy Filipinas) still would hail her as the Pop Princess, but then something tells me her song mentioning Philippines might have meant something. Is this something of a ridicule about Philippines again, or is she trying to help...

A jet-lagged Beyonce flashed a wide smile and waved to the media upon arriving in Manila amid a light drizzle Tuesday afternoon. Her one night Manila tour is part of her Asian tour, where she will be visiting Thailand and Malaysia. The bootylicious diva arrived on a private chartered jet along with her 70-member entourage. Beyonce, who wore a blue-gold scarf around her neck and matching gold jewelry, declined interviews due to fatigue from her trip. She paused briefly to face photographers then boarded the waiting SUV. Airport workers, and even police, tried to take snapshots of the 26-year-old singer with their digital cameras and camera phones. It was just another day in the life of an international pop superstar. Beyonce

The match-up between 2 veteran amateur boxers from my 2 favorite countries is definitely something that worth watching. I just wished I had the up-link. *Sob* For Filipino boxer Violito Payla and American Rau'shee Warren. Today is a day of destiny. The winner earns a ticket to the 2008 Olympics boxing competition while the loser goes home with his ego wounded and needs to compete again in some other qualifying tournament to reach the Olympics. Today, the round of 16 will determine the 8 qualifiers for the bantamweight division of Olympic boxing.I feel that there's a lot at stake in this match-up. Both are grizzled warriors of the sport and may not be able to get another chance for the 2012 London Olympics because of the rigors of boxing and old age. Both competed in the 2004 Athens yet both didn't even make it to the final 16 round in Athens. Payla, whose age is a big factor in this head-to-head, is the definite underdog here. While for Raushee Warren, a win here would definitely be
