Before I gave birth, I prayed hard that my baby will be normal and have no any deformities. I am so grateful to God for answering my prayer. No Moms will ever want their child to be born with any physical disabilities, however,it cannot be denied that out of thousands of children that were born every day, there are just those unfortunate enough that was not spared. 

Cleft lip, cleft palate and facial deformities caused by some abnormal hormones during pregnancies (and even sometimes caused by accidents) are just among those deformities that need special care and attention.Children born with any of these condition should not suffer for a lifetime. They have the right to enjoy life and live it to the fullest.

OPERATION SMILE

By the name itself, it only mean one thing- HOPE for the children born with cleft condition. Operation Smile is an awesome Non- Government Organization that perform life changing cleft surgeries on affected children whose families could not afford to pay for the operation. This organization is a medical charity for children whose primary goal is to change the lives of those children affected with cleft condition. According to their study, every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. That is why in 1982, Operation Smile was organized. 

Where did they get their funds?

There are lots of dedicated medical volunteers and supporters who shared the same cause with them. So far, they were able to provide more than two million patient evaluation and over 200,000 free surgeries to children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palate and other facial deformities. The result was overwhelming. They operate in over 60 countries and I am so proud to say that their presence was also seen in Southeast Asia including the Philippines. A friend of mine was even part of this cause by being a volunteer. 

How about you? Are you willing to help?

You too can be of help. You can also make a difference by being a part of this cause. Perhaps, you are just a student and you are very much willing yet you just don't know how. Well, you can be of help through textbook rental. What's the connection? Campus Book Rentals is an online site where you can rent a text book for a reasonable price. They have lots of text book to choose from. Books like Fundamentals of Phonetics: A Practical Guide for Students (2nd Edition) by Larry H. Small is just among those books that you can rent for a specific period of time. So how can you help by renting? For every book rented, the Campus Book Rental will donate a portion of those proceeds to Operation Smile. They have committed to donate enough to cover a minimum of 1,000 life changing surgeries.

With that, you have supported yourself with your studies, at the same time, you were able to make a difference to the life of those children with cleft condition and facial deformities.

Heal smiles. Act now.

I really wanted my baby to become a Musician someday just like his Dad (though without an album LOL). That acoustic guitar was bought more than three years ago and we even got a name for it- museikcaj (eikcaj- backward spelling of my name, jackie).

The New Manny Pacquiao

I am impressed by the sudden change that PacMan revealed to the public. His revelation about his newly found faith was for me, the greatest prize that he could ever received in his whole life. I am also impressed his boldness in sharing it with others during his shows and ambush interviews. I can also feel his sincerity. Indeed, God's time is the perfect time. PacMan's life is indeed gearing to the right direction and I would like to congratulate him for that...

The book of Second Corinthians 5:17 clearly emphasized that "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone the new has come". That is exactly what Manny Pacqiuao was trying  to show to us. He lived as an example by surrendering all his vices. That could only mean NO MORE POKER, NO MORE COCKFIGHT, NO MORE OTHER WOMEN and I just hope that there'll be NO MORE BOXING (If he wants to live longer with his family). We could only hope and pray that it is for good.

Go go go PacMan, you're the man! God is with you all the way, just keep the faith.

I can still remember how I felt during the day I received my diploma (Pioneering batch) in Bachelor in Technician Teacher Education major in Architectural Drafting (and currently working as a staff in Procurement Office). Indeed, that was a mixed emotion. I was happy that time that finally I am free from all those sleepless nights in studying our lessons for the final exams and beating the deadlines for all those mind boggling,tear jerking projects. I am also sad that I have to find a job and should stop depending much to my mother anymore (financially). That was year 2002.

Ten years after, here I am working as an office staff at the Procurement Office of my dear alma mater and at the same time working as part-time instructor in ICT subject. I miss my life as  a student that is why I took some Master's subject but unable to finish it because my schedule won't allow it :) I only earned 18 units for my MTTE course and I doubt it if I could pursue this course further.

Anyway, I would like to extend my congratulations to all the graduates of 2012! Two of them are my church mates, Hannah Grace Rosal, BS in Nursing and Paul Joseph Estrera, MIT.

The summer is up and people are thinking of ways on how to beat the increasing heat of the sun. In the same manner,the prices for basic commodities right now increases as well and its beyond our control. As a new Mom, I always go for baby products that offers discounts to save money. However, I do not compromise quality on every purchases that I made.

Budgeting is not easy. You need to consider a lot of things. When you go for shopping, you might think of getting those products that has poor quality in order to save. No, it should not be the case. Getting quality products with a tight budget are still possible.
