To become a guardian fairy, an apprentice should be able to fulfill the final act of courage and bravery, and that is to sacrifice yourself in saving someone from your own magical realm. On the other hand, however, Bloom, the last survivor from Domino, doesn't even have anybody to save since her kingdom was ruthlessly destroyed by the ancient witches and that all of its inhabitants including the king and queen, her birth parents, were all missing. Thus, unlike her friends whom will be entrusted with the power of harmony and will become guardian fairies of their magical realms at the day of the gifts in Alfea, she will remain an apprentice fairy up to the end. Not unless she'll be able to know the whereabouts of her birth parents and save them. But where should she begin finding them?

The story of "The Secret of the Lost Kingdom" is the follow up to the finished third season of the cartoon, The Winx Club, where it picks up to the last mission the protagonist, Bloom, wanted to do, to someday find her real parents and reunite their family.

The movie began with the quest of finding the blacksmith Hagen, the master of shining steel, who might shed some light into Bloom's parents whereabouts. It's an expedition that led her and her friends, Stella, Musa, Techna, Flora and Layla, in a solitary Pagoda situated on a frigid mountain guarded by steel robots just to find the blacksmith that had forged the powerful sword of King Oritel; with which the blacksmith alone has the ability of tracing its location. Unfortunately, Hagen, doesn't even have the slightest idea on to where the sword might be. Despite doing his best to find its location for more than seventeen years, he still had no luck on pin pointing its whereabouts. Hence, Bloom and her friends mission was a complete failure, and thus there's no other option for her but to return to her foster parents on Earth and live the life she had used to.

Despite her hopes being doused by the harsh truth that her birth parents might be lost forever in the vast magical dimension, Bloom nevertheless, hadn't let go. She had clung on to what she firmly believed, that maybe someday their family might be reunited once more. Thus this preserved her will long enough for her to uncover a clue that would perfectly lead her to her estranged parents. That's all thanks to her sister, Daphne, who in her dream had provided her the information of an essential artifact that might uncover their parents location if they're still alive - the book of destiny.

The book destiny, upon Bloom retrieval of it, uncovered a prophecy about her future that must be fulfilled in order to restore a kingdom that was lost. Lord Bartleby, the spirit scribe, also had told her that their majesties weren't dead, yet they were trapped in a dimension where magical powers were suppressed - the Obsidian Dimension. However, the scribe didn't elaborate further on to where the entrance to the said dimension was specifically located in Magix for he only had limited time.

Upon returning to Alfea to seek for more clues, the school was attacked by Mandragora who was under the command of the three spirits of the ancient witches. She, together with her bug army had destroyed the entirety of Alfea, just to determine who hold the power that had awaken the king's sword. Luckily, before she truly obliterate the entire fairies school, she was stopped by the Winx together with their headmistress Ms. Faragonda. Mandragora however had escaped and reported to her masters back at the Obsidian Dimension.

The story continued on until Bloom and her friends were able to find the Obsidian Dimension and were able to penetrate the heart of it only to be conforted by the harsh reality that the kingdom's inhabitants were also trapped inside it. The only way out to save everyone was to destroy the sword that serves as a key to the entire dimension. However Bloom had resisted in doing so for she knew the sword's power also flows within her, hence, she made a choice in fulfilling the prophecy. With the help of Sky and Daphne's spirit, they had destroyed the dimension by finishing off all sources of evil trapped within it, hence every citizen of Domino were freed at last, and Bloom and her parents were reunited for the first time.

Drinking tea iced tea before bed time is definitely a no no. Despite having that sweet tingling sensation that quenches your thirst as it passes right through your lips and straight into your stomach, it will definitely not make you go sleep up until dawn until it effect wears off. Putting it into simpler terms, it's like drinking a hot black coffee in the middle of the night to keep you awake.

But why is tea considered a stimulant? It's like this, imagine your instant coffee diluted in hot water; the coffee can provide you an extra jolt about an hour or so for it contains caffeine if you ingest it. Now imagine you drank that cup of coffee to keep you awake for the night, then that is just the equivalent of actually drinking one glass of iced tea for it also has high caffeine content.

So next time if you got lots of projects to do prior its deadline, dilute a tea bag and drink it, you might never know it can keep you awake up to six in morning just like me. :) But if your just plain thirsty in the middle of the night, don't be stupid like me, just drink water and stay away from tea. Okay? :( Read More......

It saddens me to hear the news that a strong, willful fight for an illness will abruptly end today. :(

May you find your eternal happiness as you reach the stars in the sky.

So long my friend. Read More......

Hi all please take some time to read this post,


Does anyone here know any cancer foundation that can help people financially, particularly here in the Philippines? If ever you can provide some informations like contact numbers and people to search for, please don't hesitate to post it at the comment section, my friend badly needed it. He, also needed all the help and prayer he could muster so as not to give up fighting for his illness.

My friend, Michael Agbulos (the guy wearing jacket), is currently suffering from cancer of the soft tissue. He was admitted at the hospital previously and up to now he is still fighting off the disease that had stuck him. As the days progressed, he is becoming weaker and weaker and their family is becoming financially in debt with the hospital that he is currently confined with.

I and the rest of his friends all know that it's hard for their family. Hence, we his former classmates, are trying our best to at least provide some assistance to them with all the means that we could possibly think of. But we are not all financially capable to at least shoulder some of the expenses, hence we seek out any help that everyone could possible provide.

So if you know any information... please... please... I beg all of you to help us out find some institutions that can help him and his family in this time of their need.

Thanks. Read More......

Last night, I watched the delayed telecast of the coronation of the Ms. Earth 2008 Beauty Pageant, with little hope that our country's representative, Ms. Philippines Karla Paula Henry, to bring home the coveted crown. Yet with some stoke of luck, she had managed to advance up to the Top 4 of the competition, with Ms. Mexico, Ms. Brazil, and Ms. Tanzania in the final question and answer round.

Of course, I can't imagine how did that happen since as as far as I recall, all Philippine Representatives in the said pageant always goes home with only the sash they held! Besides, isn't it that Bb. Pilipinas judges favored Janina San Miguel to-be-then Bb. Pilipinas World 2008 representative, than most of the beautiful, talented and intelligent competitors in the said pageant including her; with which gave her the decision to jump over to try her luck in the Ms. Philippines Earth Beauty Pageant? Anyway, enough of the former issue with the beauty queen who stepped down as a representative, and I'm going to focus on what had happened in the Ms. Earth 2008.

The coronation of Ms. Earth 2008, was held at Clark Expo Ampi theater Pampanga, Philippines yesterday with a lot of foreign judges ranging from different respected fields to oversee the competition to promote fairness and equality in choosing the successor of the reigning Ms. Earth, Jessica Trisko from Canada. Since, pre-judging had already taken place the top 16 were easily chosen and from there the top 4 would be selected who would represent the four prestigious titles enveloped in the competition: Fire, Water, Air and Earth. To determine who will be the next Ms. Earth, a final, uniform and single question must be answered by the remaining 4 contestants to be judged accordingly be the respected board. The final question given to the remaining four contestants was something like this: If you were given the opportunity to speak to the newly elected president of the United States, Barack Obama, what would you tell to regarding the present environmental condition plaguing the world?

From there, poise, intelligence and grace will be the determining factor in choosing the next Ms. Earth. And, I'm too glad to say that Ms. Philippines representative had managed to stay alert and poised to answer such trivial question leading her to her ultimate goal, the Ms. Earth crown.

The titles of the final four were as follows:

1. Ms. Earth Fire - Ms. Brazil


2. Ms. Earth Water - Ms. Mexico


3. Ms. Earth Air - Ms. Tanzania


4. Ms. Earth - Ms. Philippines

Nicholas Sparks has yet again touched my mushy heart with this book. Though this book isn't comparable with his other creations (i.e. Message in a Bottle and A Walk to Remember), nonetheless it's still a good book to read.

The Rescue, as its title and theme overtly expresses, talks basically about a rescue, not just in its physical meaning but also in its deeper emotional meaning. The story's plot branches into two different rescue missions, first saving a lost child after a tragic road accident, and second, salvaging an emotionally troubled man into finding the right way to forgive himself into an irreparable mistake he had committed years ago that haunts him up to the present.

The story is really simple, yet it's emotional loaded, thus it left readers (like me) in awe. Moreover, what happened in the story might even represent a manifestation of what probably can occur on everyday life situations. Hence, you wouldn't know if the story is related to your life until you find time to grab the book and read it.

Nonetheless, all I can say is that Nicholas Sparks has yet again captured the true essence of the words unconditional love, forgiveness and salvation, and had made a beautiful novel with which I'm giving out my insights. If you find yourself a time and wanted to spend it by reading a quality book, I suggest you read this book, and I'm sure your going to like it.

For easy access to the book, you can download it here, or you can buy a paper back edition here which is discounted of course. Read More......

Deception Point When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory -- a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable: evidence of scientific trickery -- a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy.

N.A.S.A., at its failure to produce outcomes and results on the millions of funds allocated by the United States government, is at risks on being privatized, with which, the only option out is for it to give concrete results on the existence of extraterrestial beings. Since, there's no given proof that those being exists, presidential candidate, Sen. Sedgewick Sexton escalated the issue claiming that re-electionist president Zachary Herney is a devout N.A.S.A. supporter and that the president himself allocated more government funds to the space organization rather than using the funds to improve the internal affairs of the country. Hence it marked the start of two political figures vying for the top position on the land, doing whatever it takes for them to secure hold of the oval office even up to the extent on deceiving people and receiving unlawful campaign funds.

Deception Point is a story about an organized crime headed by the NRO head, upon which his sole objective is to save the space organization N.A.S.A., despite his own personal grudge to it. But little does he know that his own plan to deceive the president and the whole world would be thwarted by his own employee, the estranged daughter of the senator, and the rest of the experts hired to evaluate the said discovery made by N.A.S.A.

This is one good story that you shouldn't miss reading for it would give you profound insights on the ins and outs of dirty politics. Moreover, the story, though a work of fiction, in a way presents how government organizations works, up to the extent of committing a crime without the knowledge of their superiors.

A simple heart-felt message enclosed in a washed bottle can lead a curious mind into its origins that could change two lives all at the same time.

Theresa Osborne, had been searching all her life for the meaning of unconditional love she hadn't experienced with her previous husband who had cheated on her. Despite being married for quite some time, she hadn't realized that her trust to her husband would soon shatter into pieces leaving her in a deadlock situation she knew she couldn't face at once; upon which it would give her the presumption that there isn't a male specie that is not polygamous in nature. But not until a washed bottle crossed her path that would change everything she thought she knew.

The Message in a Bottle is a testament that even a man could deeply fall in love just like a woman does, and that even a man can deeply be hurt by a lost loved one. This is really worth a read if you hadn't read it, and I'm sure it would touch your heart just as it does to me.

By the way, you can grab your paper back or hard copy here, or you can download a digital copy here. Read More......
