Halili-Cruz Ballet School
It is probably one of the best dance and ballet schools in the Philippines. Their students performed very well during the 10th Asia-Pacific Dance Competition in Singapore last July. Many in the Philippines must have read about it in the papers there. I have a niece who joined them for the first time this year. So, along with her mom, my younger sis, they traveled to Singapore to join the team. When I was young (ehem) and in our place, ballet was not so popular as in the cities. Although at school, we had the basics for dancing in our PE classes. But it never went beyond that. Folkdance was much cheaper so we had to settle for it. It would have been nice for our posture and the way we hold ourselves if we had ballet as part of our regimen …

Are U-turns saving us money?
According to a recent study (reported here by the Philippine Daily Inquirer) by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), u-turn slots are helping us save quite a hefty sum. The study reports that the U-turns slots instilled by the MMDA generates Php 40 million to Php 50 million in savings for motorists each year since 2005. These savings are brought about by the increase in the average vehicular speed on major roads where 23 U-turn slots have been placed by the MMDA. According to the report, Php 2 billion are saved each year by motorists in terms of gains in productivity and opportunity alone. As for fuel savings, motorists are saving Php 42.84 million on nonwidened roads and Php 51.45 millon on widened roads.
I think most of you would be scratching your heads right now. Really? We’re saving that much? It doesn’t actually feel that way. U-turns have been, for the most part, hasseling most of us — often adding burden to an already congested road. I’m not even mentioning the hazard the concrete blockades brings at night. I do think that U-turns are saving us money in some way. However, let’s look at it from another perspective – costs.

New Olympic events for GRP
In the midst of finger-pointing and the blame game, it’s back to square one for Team Philippines as the debacle in Beijing takes center stage at next week’s sports summit of sports leaders.

alone
“You must learn to be alone and happy before you can be together with someone else and be happy. Your happiness only and always depends upon how you feel when you are alone, never how you think you will feel when you are with someone else. Healthy love relationships require that you be strong enough to resist rushing to your next relationship before all the hurts of the past are healed. Healing takes time. Doing healing alone or with the assistance of a skilled professional, will always get you where you want to go much quicker.
Be alone in the short term for the extraordinary long term benefits. Learn what it takes to be in a healthy relationship with yourself. When you get comfortable with being alone; when the feeling that you must be in a relationship to feel complete disappears, most likely you will be ready for another relationship. The path to a healthy love relationship becomes more clear when you put your own well being ahead of having to be in a relationship to feel good about yourself. ”
