Hi Everyone! Please visit my cousin Aileen's blogspot, http://gingerail.blogspot.com/

She is currently working on a project, desigining magazine totes to fundraise for SmileTrain.org, a charity that does cleft surgery for children in the Philippines. Her goals are to raise $50 to cover medications for one surgery, and $250 to finance one surgery.

Check out her blogspot por favor for more info! Thanks! :)

Music is good medication.

So lately, I've been getting sick a lot. Maybe it's because of my lack of rest this past semester everything is pretty much catching up to me right now, which stinks. I gotta take care of myself more, like work out, eat well, sleep early - basically live a healthy lifestyle. This will be one of my new year's resolutions. Hopefully I can keep it.

Although I've been under the weather, one of the things that makes me feel better is MUSIC! There is this 15-year Filipina girl, Charice Pempengco, who recently appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show. Oh my gosh - the girl can SING. Here's a video of her singing one of my fave songs - Listen (I think she owns the song here and does it better than Beyonce)

I'm officially a fan. Teehee.

Now off to sleep since I'm actually trying to sleep early and feel better.

October is Filipino-American History Month. Celebrate being Filipino! Here are shirts I found from pnoyapparel.com that are stylish and illustrate Philippine culture:

"No History, No Self. Know History, Know Self."

"He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.” -Jose Rizal, The National Hero of The Philippines

Ethnikclothing.com and Teammanila.com also have really nice Filipino t-shirt designs as well. Looking at these makes me want to design my own.
