An online friend advised me to re-open my blogspot home after disperately complaining about the strictness of WP in CSS editing and adding additional widgets in the sidebar. Frankly speaking, I had opened the Falling Leaves at Capitol’s Ground few days ago for the mere reason of advertising and monetizing and it will be helpful to position a link in the sidebar. Gosh, how could I make it, WP has strictly implementing its policy.
Anyway, as I round and round over the net, I had discovered a website that encourages writers to write an abstract in a good cost. The deal is simple; a writer must write skillfully an abstract of a book, newspaper, or article of a country he prefer most. For more information visit their website http://www.shvoong.com.

Lheeanne/Remeline
My blog, Remeline, under lheeanne.com has been approved by Blog-to-Profit recently. I have asked help from a fellow blogger, Sasha, about the instructions being sent by the team cause at first, I was not able to understand the piece. Poor Me! Anyway, after a few exchange of words in YM, everything went well. I have started to open up the guidelines only to find out that my pc had not been able to read pdf files. Oh common, what’s pdf files all about. See, I am software ignoramus. But thanks God; Tekla has good heart to lend me her installer of acrobat reader.
This morning, I have a chance to post my first entry for Blog-to-Profit. I am praying that things go well, oh help me God. It would be a great start, am I right?

Beautiful Lips
A beautiful smile lights up a day. It makes your face more beautiful and lively. Your lips are the most important and exquisitely sensitive part of your body. And therefore you have to take special care of your lips.
Beauty Experts tells you what are the common problems and how to take care of them..............
The common lips problems are:
*Dark Lips
*Cracked lips
1) Dark Lips:
You will be surprised to know that our lips unlike most part of our body do not have any melanin pigment to protect them. Lips are covered on the outside by a thin layer of skin and on the inside by virtually transparent mucous membranes.
Therefore it is necessary to take care of our lips and to eat well-balanced food and lots of fruits.
If you have dark lips you have to do the following………
*Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
* Stop smoking.
* Avoid lipstick.
* Apply a layer of oil and leave it on for several hours. Best apply before going to bed
* Mix coconut oil and almond oil in equal quantity. Apply a coat of this on the lips and leave on overnight. This has to be done daily for at least two weeks for best results.
* Massage lips: Every night with a mixture of 1/2 tsp. Glycerine and 1/2 tsp. Castor oil with 1/2 tsp. Lemon juice and leave overnight.
*Apply cream from curds with saffron on your lips.
2.Cracked Lips
Lips do not produce oil like our skin, because they have no oil producing glands. The skin on our lips is actually mucous membrane, so for them to remain smooth and chap free is a bit of a challenge. The most common cause of cracked lips are allergic reaction to cosmetics, skin infections, extreme weather conditions like excess sun and wind exposure, biting of the lips or a vitamin B deficiency.
If you have cracked lips you have to do the following………
*Protect the lips from weather by applying heavy plain cream.
*Avoid licking your lips.
*To cure dry chapped lips apply peanut butter or coco butter to your lips before going to bed.
*Grind rose petals with cream on the top of milk and apply on lips to cure the cracked lips
*Take vitamin B, C foods in diet.
*Mix 2 drops of glycerine with 1 tsp of cream on the top of milk and apply to lips to cure the chapped lips and keep overnight to get smooth and shiny lips.
*Mix equal quantities of nutmeg, turmeric, and fresh butter and apply to lips.
*Hot water fomentation, followed by a mixture of Vaseline and honey applied on the lips at least thrice a week will prevent lips from chapping.
*Lips should be moisturized and exfoliated. Exfoliate lips with your gentle facial scrub using a toothbrush or just the tips of
your fingers. You can make a paste using baking soda and water to exfoliate lips as well. Work it for a minute and then rinse with lukewarm water.
General Care for lips
*Apply cold cream or moisturizer or lip balm before applying lipstick.
*To get natural pink lips apply beetroot juice before bed.
*Grind rose petals and apply on lips to get smooth pink lips
*Apply menthol based lip balm and take an old brush and brush gently on lips (don t rub too hard, because lip are very sensitive) to get rid off chapped lips.

Go Healthy
I’d been astounded by the fact I’ve discovered in a magazine’s article. The piece says some things I have never knew then. And if you’re such an ignoramus woman like me, bear with me, read this for some information.
Sex experts agree that what’s good for general health is also good for sexual health. So when it comes to your diet, eating nutritious meals in frequent and smaller portions bodes well for your libido. “To be a tasty morsel yourself, you must make the right choices when eating,” says Laura Berman of the Berman Center in Chicago. Eat whole grains instead of refined white flour bread and crackers; increase your intake of good fats (such as nuts, avocados, olive oil); eliminate bad fats (butter, and sweets); drink lots of water to detoxify and cleanse the body. Reduce alcohol, nicotine and coffee intake, since these can spoil the way your taste. Consuming fruits and vegetables condition your body to taste anything but sour or bitter, she adds.

Reflection
"A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh! !!" To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh! !!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?" He receives the answer: "Who are you?" And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!" The voice answers: "I admire you!" Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!" He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"The voice answers: "You are a champion!"The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains:
"People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence."
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; Life will give you back everything you have given to it."
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!"

Task
Period of adjustment, which everything seems to be in the down point just waiting for a decision on when could they make a motion up point. But how could a newbie create an action wherein the scope and limitation of the task newly appointed with her is unclear? Like a blind man grasping around in the dark environment, there is no chance of seeing ray from a roof hole. Even a bulb can do nothing to make the blind man see whatever he wants to see, it is only his senses could help him eliminating his role. Thinking that the blind man is might lucky than anyone else, than me after carrying this new task without labeling the starting point and the end of the line. Everything will be based on assumptions and exaggeration possibly occurs in the process. The task is not just a simple one, it means heavy load, almost dealing with the entire institution. It is the core factor that must given attention and execution of faculties must be given priority in order to meet the vision and mission for the welfare of the students and those who defend their lives to the center. And this is what my headache causing this time, where really should I start with? Am I qualified for the position? Ahhh….I suppose to have a great weekend but with this agony, I believe that two days vacation would be a nightmare.

First Cup of Coffee
GOOD MORNING! While you have your first cup of coffee, set back and listen to some music and read about HELLO. Have you ever thought what this word stands for? Read on.... Do you know that a simple "hello" can be a sweet one? The word H E L L O means: H=How are you? E= Everything all right? L= Like to hear from you L= Love to see you soon! O=Obviously, You are my friend..so, HELLO! ! It has made me smile every time I say hello since then so send this message to the people you care about. Just thinking of you! I only sent this to people that I knew would NOT break the chain or that believe in the power of prayer. May today there be peace within you. May you trust your God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. "I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." Hope you are drinking from your saucer too..... I've never made a fortune, and it's probably too late now.But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow And as I go along life's way, I'm reaping better than I sowed. I'm drinking from my saucer,'Cause my cup has overflowed. Haven't got a lot of riches,and sometimes the going's tough. But I've got loving ones all around me,and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings,and the mercies He's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. I remember times when things went wrong, My faith wore some what thin. But all at once the dark clouds broke,and the sun peeped through again. So Lord, help me not to gripe,about the tough rows I have hoed. .I'm drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me strength and courage,When the way grows steep and rough.I'll not ask for other blessings,I'm already blessed enough. And may I never be too busy,to help others bear their loads. Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer, 'Cause my cup has overflowed. When I think of how many people in this world have it worsethan I do, I realize just how blessed we really are. Don't be too busy today... Share this inspiring message with friends and family. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures. |

Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez was born in New York City, on July 24, 1970. The daughter of David, a computer programmer, and Guadalupe, a kindergarten teacher, the young Lopez always dreamed of becoming a performer.
With talents in singing and dancing, Jennifer began performing in stage musicals, dancing in a European tour of Golden Musicals of Broadway, a Japanese tour of Synchronicity, and local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Jennifer Lopez in living color.
The young girl from the Bronx would finally become more recognized when she was cast as one of the "Fly Girl" dancers on FOX's In Living Color. What Lopez was really itching to do was act, but she stuck around on In Living Color for a short while, following producer Keenan Ivory Wayans' advice. Jim Carrey was not the only star in the making on In Living Color; Miss Lopez was yet to arrive on the scene.
Jennifer's "Fly Girl" role led to more roles on the small screen. She landed a recurring role on FOX's short-lived series South Central after one of her Color co-workers referred her to her South Central writer and producer husband.
Although the show did not last very long, Jennifer was seen on television again, this time as "Melinda Lopez" in the made-for-TV movie, Second Chances. Her portrayal of the part was so impressive that big-league producer Aaron Spelling wanted to continue the role on another one of his series, Malibu Shores. After appearing in a mere few episodes, Jennifer refused to develop the deal further (the show was axed anyhow), with the hopes of taking her talents to the silver screen.
Jennifer becomes a TV nurse.
One more made-for-TV role can be seen on Jennifer's resume; Rosie the nurse, in the 1993 movie Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7. Her role in the 1995 film Mi Familia, about the lives of Mexican immigrants in Los Angeles from the 1930s to today, was the role which showed filmmakers that this Latin beauty was serious about acting.
One year later, Jennifer co-starred with Robin Williams in the box-office disaster Jack, beating out Ashley Judd for the role. In her next film role, riding the Money Train with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes, she was the only one to receive positive reviews in a film that may have well tipped off the tracks.
Having already worked with Jennifer in the critically-acclaimed Mi Familia, Gregory Nava asked Lopez to audition for his 1997 biopic on the slain Tejano singer, Selena. After an intense auditioning process, Jennifer won the role that would make her a star.
j.lo hits it big with selena
That same year, Ojani Noa (her boyfriend at the time) publicly proposed to Jennifer at the wrap party for Selena. Their marriage lasted less than year.
Meanwhile, 1997 marked a full year for Jennifer, with film roles in U Turn, Anaconda and Blood and Wine. The following year, she co-starred with George Clooney in Out of Sight, playing U.S. Marshall Karen Sisco. This was the role that made Jennifer an A-list actress, beating out other A-list actresses for the role in the process. Her next project was as an animated ant in the DreamWorks feature Antz, also with Sharon Stone.
Not only is Jennifer the only Latin actress in history to demand a $1 million salary, but she also released an album entitled On the 6, which went platinum and spawned such hits as "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting For Tonight."
After a role in the sci-fi flick The Cell in 2000, Jennifer returned to the music scene with her megasuccessful sophomore album, J.Lo, in February 2001. While the album title (and probably P. Diddy's pet name for Jennifer) stuck, the album itself claimed the No. 1 spot on the charts on the strength of the first single, "Love Don't Cost A Thing."
j.lo becomes wedding planner
Jennifer also made history as the first female artist to have a No. 1 album and movie in the same week, as seen when The Wedding Planner debuted at No. 1 and had audiences rushing to see J.Lo in the starring role.
While her relationship with P. Diddy, formerly known as Sean "Puffy" Combs, fizzled (and he stood trial for gun possession and bribery charges after an incident in December 1999), J.Lo was seen in the arms of an unknown new man, Cris Judd. The couple met in January on the set of her "Love Don't Cost A Thing" video, as Judd is one of the featured dancers in the video.
Jennifer has also enjoyed the success of the singles "Play" and "I'm Real" (both an original and remix version with Ja Rule) off J.Lo, and as if she hasn't dominated enough fields, she also released her own fashion company in 2001 -- Sweetface Fashion Company -- designed for all her fellow full-figured sisters, and she has two frangrances attached to her name: Glow (which resulted in a lawsuit filed by Glow Industries claiming trademark infringement) and Still.
j.lo's awards & men
Often the subject of media tabloid stories and jokes, Jennifer is known for her romantic relationships, her revealing style (as seen in a certain Versace dress at the Grammys and a see-through Valentino gown at the Oscars), and allegedly insuring her prized possession -- her behind -- with a $1 billion policy (a rumor she dispels).
Jennifer has received many awards, including a Blockbuster Entertainment Award nomination for Best Actress in Anaconda (1997), a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for Selena, and an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Actress for Selena.
In 1999, she won the VH1/Vogue Fashion Award for Most Fashionable Female Artist. She also received a Latin Grammy nomination and won the Billboard Latin Award for a duet she did with Marc Anthony ("No Me Ames"), as well as the MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video, for "Waiting For Tonight," in 2000.
Named Female Entertainer of the Year by ALMA in 2000 and topping the list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World thanks to FHM magazine, Jennifer Lopez went on to receive even more accolades.
In 2001, after dating her back-up dancer Cris Judd for less than eight months, the couple married in September 2001 only to divorce less than a year later. The settlement cost her $15 million.
In 2002, Jennifer won a World Music Award for World's Best-Selling Latin Female Artist, an MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video ("I'm Real" featuring Ja Rule), a VH1/Vogue Fashion Award for Most Influential Artist, and an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Female.
j.lo becomes bennifer
2002 is also the year when the term Bennifer was coined. Actor Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who met on the set of the movie Gigli, began dating seriously.
Unfortunately, although Jennifer won an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist in 2003, all the celebrations came to a halt when Jennifer's movie, Gigli (2003), hit theaters worldwide and received unanimous negative reviews.
After a highly-publicized romance (Affleck is even featured in her "Jenny From The Block" video, off her This Is Me... Then album) that made the cover of every tabloid on a virtual weekly basis, the couple ended their engagement in February 2004.
On the film front, Jennifer appeared in a small role in Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl (2004), starring Affleck, as well as Shall We Dance (2004), with Richard Gere. In 2005, she can add An Unfinished Life and Monster-in-Law to her resume.
You can also check out Lopez in the DVD/EP The Reel Me, which features 17 music videos and remixed hits and was released in 2003.
The new Jennifer
On June 5, 2004, Jennifer Lopez made headlines again, this time because she and Latin pop singer Marc Anthony exchanged vows in a "surprise" wedding. Although rumors of the nuptials were circulating, fans were still stunned to hear that J.Lo is on her third marriage.
At the 2005 Grammy awards, Jennifer and Marc performed together for the first time as husband and wife. It was perfect timing, as J.Lo's fourth studio album, Rebirth, hit stores on March 1, 2005. The first single, "Get Right," is making its way up the charts.
She is also enjoying a commercial "rebirth" with her latest fashion line, Sweet Face. J.Lo is also starring with Beyonce and Becks in a martial arts-inspired Pepsi commercial called Samurai.
With talents in singing and dancing, Jennifer began performing in stage musicals, dancing in a European tour of Golden Musicals of Broadway, a Japanese tour of Synchronicity, and local productions of Oklahoma and Jesus Christ Superstar.

Jennifer has received many awards, including a Blockbuster Entertainment Award nomination for Best Actress in Anaconda (1997), a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for Selena, and an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Actress for Selena.
In 1999, she won the VH1/Vogue Fashion Award for Most Fashionable Female Artist. She also received a Latin Grammy nomination and won the Billboard Latin Award for a duet she did with Marc Anthony ("No Me Ames"), as well as the MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video, for "Waiting For Tonight," in 2000.
Named Female Entertainer of the Year by ALMA in 2000 and topping the list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World thanks to FHM magazine, Jennifer Lopez went on to receive even more accolades.
In 2001, after dating her back-up dancer Cris Judd for less than eight months, the couple married in September 2001 only to divorce less than a year later. The settlement cost her $15 million.
In 2002, Jennifer won a World Music Award for World's Best-Selling Latin Female Artist, an MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video ("I'm Real" featuring Ja Rule), a VH1/Vogue Fashion Award for Most Influential Artist, and an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Female.
j.lo becomes bennifer
2002 is also the year when the term Bennifer was coined. Actor Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who met on the set of the movie Gigli, began dating seriously.
Unfortunately, although Jennifer won an American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist in 2003, all the celebrations came to a halt when Jennifer's movie, Gigli (2003), hit theaters worldwide and received unanimous negative reviews.
After a highly-publicized romance (Affleck is even featured in her "Jenny From The Block" video, off her This Is Me... Then album) that made the cover of every tabloid on a virtual weekly basis, the couple ended their engagement in February 2004.
On the film front, Jennifer appeared in a small role in Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl (2004), starring Affleck, as well as Shall We Dance (2004), with Richard Gere. In 2005, she can add An Unfinished Life and Monster-in-Law to her resume.
You can also check out Lopez in the DVD/EP The Reel Me, which features 17 music videos and remixed hits and was released in 2003.
The new Jennifer
On June 5, 2004, Jennifer Lopez made headlines again, this time because she and Latin pop singer Marc Anthony exchanged vows in a "surprise" wedding. Although rumors of the nuptials were circulating, fans were still stunned to hear that J.Lo is on her third marriage.
At the 2005 Grammy awards, Jennifer and Marc performed together for the first time as husband and wife. It was perfect timing, as J.Lo's fourth studio album, Rebirth, hit stores on March 1, 2005. The first single, "Get Right," is making its way up the charts.
She is also enjoying a commercial "rebirth" with her latest fashion line, Sweet Face. J.Lo is also starring with Beyonce and Becks in a martial arts-inspired Pepsi commercial called Samurai.

Tears
Hearing nothing except sound of fan trapped in the wall.
I’m alone.
No one could see me unease, fearing for something unidentified and crying for uncaused.It is almost 2:00 am.Few hours before sunshine.Hearing vehicles buzzing from south to north and vice versa while roosters are starting to sing morning songs.
I closed my eyes and saw images.
People I’ve met before, places I’ve been through.
Events, tragedies, problems, triumphs and failures.
Watching the scene makes me insane, need to escape.
Tracking back the past is the last on my list, let me go out of here.
Tok, tok, tok!
“Papasok ka ba?
I opened my eyes.
“Oho.”
I rose up and sit at the bedside, gradually look at the mirror on my right and grasp a tissue paper to wipe up my tears.

I Am A Mother
I can’t remember writing a post about mother’s day last year nor trying to point some issues related to the topic. And even the mother day’s celebration last Sunday was out of my mind. There was no big event for us at home; it was an ordinary day with ordinary chores to deal with. But it doesn’t stop in that way, I was brought into a deep thinking about the celebration, a Mother’s Day Celebration.
I have questioned myself about the essence of the celebration, really I was confused. It has identified as “Mother’s Day” and as I understand the word itself, it is pertaining to a woman who has child or children that sacrifices a lot for the survival of her love ones. It is easy to understand that the celebration was addressed to your grandmother, to your mother, and to you. And maybe it’s for me, too. Yes, maybe. Let me check myself as a mother. For more than nine years of being a mother, I seldom evaluated my performances as my kids’ mom. Yet they never complained but do I have to wait for that matter before evaluating my actions.
As a mother my whole life is dedicated to my children.
I don’t want to see them crying, I don’t want them to be hurt.
I asked God to replace them whenever they are sick.
My first spoon of food is for them, I am ready to get starve.
I do fight for them in any case and occasion.
I can quit from work as they asked to, I am willing to be a SAHM.
I could be their nanny, tutor, and teacher if they want to.
On the hand, I don’t spoil my children. I teach them how to stand alone and do things solely. I never directly say that they are right over their arguments to anyone but explaining them the things in a manner they could catch up easily. I teach them how to say courteous words such as Excuse Me, Thank You, and Sorry, and the like, and to deliver forgiveness. I always inculcate to their minds that trials and problems are like a wind, no one could see, nor touch it but they can feel it and during such occasions, the strongest weapon to deal with is PRAYER and TRUST to GOD.
Of course, what I have written in this page are those positive things I have imparted with the kids. But no one is perfect; human has weak points that usually lead into troubles. In my case, I just say sorry to them during our talk. I believe that accepting my faults over them is a good example for them to follow.
Being a mother is the most challenging designation the Lord has assigned. It is like giving of a piece of land without anything planted on it. As a farmer, you have all the challenge to produce good harvest and quality products. That is, if you portray properly the task of being a farmer. The same thing of being a mother, planted good seed into your child’s heart; it will grow and produce goodwill, but planted a poor seed will lead to unknown destiny.

New Me
I’ve changed a lot, thorough analysis reveals. From being a mouth-zippered woman into a talkative one, from a low self-confidence nature into unbend personality.To summary what my life is this time divulge comfort and satisfaction that everybody’s wishes to gain. The luxury of being showered with love from family members, career growth, and spiritual guidance, caused the fulfillment.Believe in yourself, trust on your capabilities, and live with your belief was the keys putting me up the ladder. But as a normal human, living without satisfaction, continuous self-development is what I am dreaming lying into the principle that this is the sole way to really go on high.

I Need a Chance
I have promised Intan one thing, I will loss my weight within a month starting this week. My son always complaining about my figure this time, maybe he felt bad about my looks. He even told me many times “Mommy, dati ang ganda mo, nung sexy ka pa!” Hahahah!
This thing is one of my fears before. I was afraid to gain weight and earn fats all over my body and face. I have been a figure conscious then, that was during the days I am not contented to my life. The days when I was asking for more than God have showered to me. But realization and acceptance of truth came like a robber. In just a blink of my eyes, everything changed. It was a miracle that one day, after a long time losing of my soul; I saw the beauty of life. After a long night in my life, I woke up in a paradise-like world. Fears had gone. I don’t know how it happened, but surely it is God’s will.
Burpp! Oh my! I have done with my snack, a roll of lumpiang shanghai and a glass of cold water. I took snack two hours after my heavy lunch. Ohh, poor me, how could I loss my weight in this case? I can’t resist taking heavy lunch and snack and back home is waiting a heavy dinner. Oh, well, I guess I need to make an excuse to Intan again (as I always do) and compromise to start my diet next week.

In His Time
In no specific time, He may come in to shower all the blessings you have asked for a long time. In no definite moment, everything will change favorably. In no exact period, happiness will fill into your heart.
But why everyone worries, afraid about non sense and thinking about nothing? Is it normal or just being pity about ourselves?
We should not be anxious, time will come …. in His time.
