Request for Evidence (RFE)

Philippines way of Courtship

The traditional Filipino way of courtship is usually indirect, a man who is interested to court a woman has to be discreet and friendly first, his gonna get with the woman's family and friends and should not be aggressive either presumptuous, most man tried a group date first with woman's friends, and followed with the visit in a woman's house to formally introduce himself to her family to let them know his clean intention to court the woman (usually if man go visit in woman's house he will bring something present to the woman like chocolates and flowers). Courting is usually be done inside the woman's house. Some do it with serenade Woman are modest and refine, man is lucky enough if the woman he is courting with after several visits, will agree to go out with him for a date but if in that case they always need to have a "chaperon" or somebody to accompany with them in there date, but most of Filipina use to play hard to get to measure his since

Stress a Modern-Day Monster

Perception of stress is highly individualized. Something that seems to turn your friend in to a nervous wreck may not disturb you at all, and vice versa. Think of the audience of a horror movie, with some relishing every gory thrill, others covering their eyes and wishing they were anywhere but here, and the rest falling somewhere in between. In short, its not external events that are stressful, but your perception of them. This gives you the power to change the things you perceive as stressful. Just as the things that cause tension vary from person to person, so do effective techniques for stress management. Some people find meditation dull and annoying; others find it enjoyable and refreshing. Still others find half-hour jog or half an hour in front of the television a great way to combat stress. You will have to find out what works for you. The best advice is to develop a "smorgasbord" of stress-busters. Here is a list of practical techniques you can choose from a

Helping your man to de-stress

My man loves it when i help him de-stress, generally guys loves it to have an understanding partner not just be there for good times but even in bad times and helping them get out of a funk. Use this tips to do the same for your guy. 1. HELP HIM CHILL - "If he's had a long day, lead him to a comfy chair and give him the remote. That signals to him that he can take a load off and watch whatever he wants." 2. PUMP HIM UP - "An ego massage is a great way to get him feeling good about himself. It can be as simple as asking him to open a jar of pickles for you. Men love that kind of stuff." 3. SURPRISE HIM - "If he's having a particularly stressful time, plan a carefree date. Take him to a concert,    have some wine or listen to music, try to make it a very relaxing evening for him." 4. GIVE HIM SPACE - "It'd be great if a woman just understood that sometimes, a guy doesn't  want to talk-he just want some time alone to unp

I was so amaze with what I see during my visit in the province of bohol, the province has a lot of things to be proud of (historical & wonders). The Chocolate Hills - a famous tourist attraction in Bohol. Just imagine how perfectly cone-shaped hills of about the same size, that are scattered throughout the municipalities. The Loboc River – Experience a cruise along the scenic and winding Loboc River, wherein lunch could only be on board on one of the town’s native floating restaurant’s that serves fresh seafood and native dishes.

Discovering Camotes Island

I had an opportunity visiting Camotes Island and I can’t believe what I see. “It is a virgin island” as I call it, the place is so clean, so solemn, relaxing yet beautiful. THE LAKE DANAO- it is known to be the largest lake in Visayas & Mindanao, the total area of the lake is 680 hectares. THE MANGODLONG ROCK RESORT - coconut-shaded garden close to the beachfront. Across the resort and separated by a blue sea is a coral islet with tropical huts spread out, connected by a sand bar from the beach. THE SANTIAGO BAY GARDEN & RESORT- overlooking a wide expanse of fine white sand, and a dazzling blue ocean.
