how to stay young (choz!)

Hahahah!!! not so illumina related pero dahil cute ang images ipopost ko siya. At sa mga taong stress, stay happy kundi tatanda kayo =D




The info below is priceless. Enjoy.




HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down. (keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches;)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Studying about LOVE in McDONGalds

Spotted at McDo Katipunan by one of our sources last Thursday, May 1, 2008:

So In LOVE: Torpe Cutie doing the moves yo!
"Hoy wag mo kami kunan ng picture. Nakkhiya..." - according to our source

This image was immediately sent to Davao via MMS kay "past-pero-sana-future-pa-rin (PPSFPR)."

When asked about kung anong say niya sa moment na ginawa ni Torpe Cutie (TC), honestly "wala raw." But sobrang nagtataka siya kung bakit pa raw kailangan talagang may kasama si TC habang "nag-aaral." [exact words came from PPSFPR]

Do we sense some kind of bitterness here from PPSFPR? Chos lang ang chorva ng mga nanay niyo! You be the judge!

Ehem Ehem... At di pa nagtatapos dito.

Meron pa tayong kilalang Sleeping Beauty (SB) na alam nating baka magkaroon ng INSOMNIA the moment na mabasa niya ang discovery ng ating source about kay TC and Girlaloo. Nabalitaan pa ng iba nating sources na noong kumalat ang chiSMS ng TC-Girlaloo chorva, naga-ala I-DON'T-CARE mode daw itong si SB (with some forming tears in her eyes---chos lang).

Sa kabilang dako ng mundo, si Dude-pare na may gusto kay SB ay patuloy pa ring umaasang magkaroon ng change-of-heart itong si SB. Ngunit dahil sa entry about kay TC-Girlaloo-PPSFPR-SB chorva, baka biglang sumakay ng eroplano papuntang Metro Manila itong si Dude-pare upang ma-confirm kung may pag-asa pa rin bang maging sila ni SB or kung si SB ba ay may gusto pa rin kay TC.

Ano kayang next move ni TC? Hmmm... Kokontra ba si PPSFPR? Magkakaroon ba ng mga susunod na "aral" sessions sina TC at ni Girlaloo? Ano kayang tingin ni PPSFPR kay Girlaloo? Magpapanggap pa rin bang "i-don't-care-about-him" si SB kay TC? Lagi pa rin bang mag-iinvisible mode si Dude-pare sa Y!M? Magiging si Dude-pare at SB ba ever? Paano na ang best love team ng Illumina?

Abangan ang susunod na kabanata. Our sources' cameras are out there yo! We are watching you!

Disclaimer: All in the spirit of chismis. Peaces of me!

PS If you have reactions, comments, fanmails, hate-mails e-mail me at papalicious.supah@gmail.com

Your tips/chikas are very much welcome.

HMMM... LASANG DARK CHOCOLATE.

Disclaimer: The Illumina of the Month featured here a nice person. Some of his points were exaggerated by the author. Walang mahuhurt. ;) We hope for peace. :)

ILLUMINAte brings you the

ILLUMINA CUTIE
for the month of
MAY,
"dahil ngayong buwan, siya ang bida!"

Dareen Ramos
"...Mahilig akong kumain ng banana. Dahil nag-eenjoy akong kainin siya."

+DAREEN 101+

ILLUMINA!

Naalala niyo pa ba si Dareen Arante Ramos? Like duh, tinatawag natin siyang Dareen. Pero, since feeling close ako sa kanya, tinatawag ko na rin siyang Darksee beybeh.

Ngayon, bakit si DARSKEE ang una naming fineature dito sa ILLUMINAte? Well, eto yung saktong rason kung bakit: Nag-woworry kasi kami sa kanya. Ang dami kasi niyang mga "CHOZ LANG" pictures na sobrang WAHAS pa ang dating. Nag-worry tuloy kami dahil baka may kung ano nang nangyayari na sa kanya (eg.baka may mga challenges na fineface sa past, present, at future life at lalong lalo na sa kanyang umaatikabong lovelife) na naging effect ng kanyang pagiging SUPERLY OVERLY WAHAS these days. The following are the evidences:

Motto / Favorite Quote ni Dareen. Kayo nang bahala mag-interpret

O ayan, diba? sobrang nakakaloka. Kaya ayun. We recently had an interview with him para naman ma-update tayong lahat sa mga inaatupag niya these days.

He just turned 19 last April 6. Sa mga nakalimot (or yung iba pang mga excuses, eg. wala silang load, etc. SUS nalang) mang mag-greet sa kanya, pagkakataon niyo na ito! BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAR! He's currently majoring in INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING in the University of the Philippines--Diliman. Choz lang, pero sorry na: MAGNA CUM LAUDE ang status ng banana boy sa UPD (we bow down to you)! Isa rin siya sa mga Katipunan boys na naninirahan sa Unit 404, Prince David Condominium, Loyola Heights, Katipunan Ave., Quezon City (wow naman, complete para sa mga magstostalk daw sa kanya).

Hilig niyang manood ng TV ("tennis tournaments 'yung 4 grandslams, Lovers in paris, my girl, gundam seed at gundam 00." according to him). Gusto rin niya ng mga koreanovela, animes, at ng mga cartoons tulad ng Baby Looney Tunes. Feeling namin paborito niya si Bugs Bunny--bakit kaya (*hint*hint*)?

Nangogolekta siya ng miniature toy cars, at sobrang galing niyang maglaro ng ping-pong. In fairness, naalala ko noong high school pa tayo, si Darskee ang isa sa mga representatives natin sa table tennis. Chos lang Dar. Pwede ka na siguro sa olympics.

MAHAL niya ang math--no wonder sobrang galing niya sa larangan na ito since highschool (bukad atay sirit bile mehn!). Lahat na yata nagpapaturo sa kanya eh. At special talent niyang mag-juggle ng kahit anong bilog na bagay (2 balls in 1 hand, 3 balls in 2 hands) at dahil dito, nagtry-out din siyang maging intern sa Fiesta Carnival last year. Moreover, marunong din siyang mag-stilt. Balak din niyang magpatayo ng sariling karnabal and/or stunt studio para kumita ng extra money someday.

Sa kasalukuyan, naghahanap siya ng makakatext, makakausap, makakapen-pal, makakaemail-pal, at iba pa. Kaya, maaari niyo siyang i-contact sa 09185195626, o mag-email kayo sa darskee@gmail.com (kung feel niyo maggoolge), o sa dareen0604@yahoo.com (kung YAHU! kayo).

+Q&A with DA Ring.+

So one night sa KFC Katipunan, nakipag-date ako kay Dareen para makipagkuwentuhan sa kanya about life. Choz. Para intimate.

Ako: Anong naramdaman mo noong nalaman mong ikaw 'yung napili nilang maging ILLUMINA of the Month for May?
Dareen: Feeling ko ako si Goofy.
A: GOOFY? Ba't naman?!
D: I look stupid. :( Kataw-an lang ng mga tao. Clown or anything... I look funny. Lahat ng ginagawa ko pinagtatawanan (sabay parang may longing look on his face, nagpapakanostalgic. *emote*)
A: Omaygad sobra naman 'yung "stupid!" Di mo ba naisip na nagbibigay ka ng saya sa mga tao? NakakatUwa (at hindi nakakatAwa) ka kasi. 'Yung mga pagkawahas mo and everything in between!
D: ATIK?! Really? (*BIG SMILE*)
A: Oo! Really! wELL well, balita ko meron daw nagka-crush sa'yo sa Kalai.
D: SA KALAI?! Si "radical person"
A: Radical person who?!
D: AHY basta! ayoko nang mag-reveal ng kahit anong names. Ayoko ng merong nasasaktan (chos lang). Weird eh. Basta, ayoko. Studies muna.
A: (*curious na*) KK fine. Sige, let's drop that subject. Ngayon, puwede mo bang sabihin sa amin kung ano yung mga characteristics ng "IDEAL WOMAN" mo?
D: Sa tinuod jud noh, dili jud ko kabalo. Ambot. Pero eto ang masasabi ko, gusto ko yung mga type na nakikita ko sa mga koreanovelas.
A: What? Ano ba yung mga nakikita mo sa koreanovelas? Gusto mo ng mga kamukha ng koreans??
D: WELL, not really. Pero yung way na kung paano sila ma-inlove (*mga mata niya nagshashine at this point*). 'Yung tipong accidental na muabot sa imuha ang love.
A: char char man ka oi... Well, sa looks naman ng babae, may gusto ka bang physical attribute ng babae (eg, legs, kuko, mata, kilikili, etc) ?
D: AH! NAA JUD KOY REQUIREMENT SA LOOKS BA! pero wala namang particular body part or something. Ganahan ko ug cute. kanang mga murag si Hazel bitaw. Cute. :P
A: AH cute. Hindi maganda? so ok lang kung cute?
D: Ok pud ang gwapa. ok ang cute.
A: Unsaon nimo kung pangit?
D: AH LAINA OI. Pangit jud? dili na jud siya ma"unsa"?
A: Dili na. Pangit jud siya. As in pangit jud. Kung papipiliin ka, kanang pangit o magpakamatay nalang ka?
D: ah! magpakamatay nalang ko! *laughs* Murag gwapo pud ko noh?
*moment of dareen laughs*
A: Pero I insist. Unsa ba jud ang ganahan nimong physical attribute sa girl?
D: Puwede bang skip the question?
A: *nanlilisik ang mga mata* For you, what is beautiful?
D: Kanang fair, nakakastun--ay makastun man pud ang pangit! *dareen laughter* Ganahan ko ug puti.
A: Chos lang. Hahaha. O sige, let's talk about academics. Musta ang college life?
D: So far, so good. Magna cum na standing ko (chos lang). NAGALAGOT lang ko kay INC ko sa CWTS. Isa pa naman yun sa mga favorite subjects ko.
A: Ah sayanga oi. Pero at least, Magna gihapon! Congrats YO! Kinsa ang nagaserve as your inspiration sa pagka"kuyaw" sa imong performance?
D: I'm influenced by myself (SORRY NA!)! I'm a self-driven pogi guy. Honestly I'm not that close to my family *nostalgia* Basta, 'yung sarili ko ang nagsisilbing gabay ko, inspirasyon sa pagtahak ng bawat araw.
A: *dreamy* wow naman. Eh how about your roommates (migs, mayn, dong, jack, hadi, sig)? Hindi ba sila naging inspirasyon?
D: HINDI. *dareen laughter reigns* Ginatarong lang jud nako. Dili man ko hawd. Ginatarong lang jud. ;)
A: May dream ka bang maging artista?
D: wala. Never. Nada. Ang pinakagusto ko nang maging sa level sa entertainment ay maging audience. Dahil sa tawa ko pa lang, they're all blown away!
A: At this point, mamimili ka between two options na tatanungin ko sa'yo. Bahala na ang mga tao sa pag-interpret ng mga tanong ko at sa mga sagot mo, ok?
D: O sige.
A: Mangga o Banana?
D: Banana... *thinks* kasi mahilig ako sa banana. kasi bland... Tamis man gud ang mangga ba. At nag-eenjoy akong kainin SIYA.
A: *tumatawa**sobrang tumatawa**tumatawa* (hindi ba naalala ni darskee na hindi na niya kailangang iinterpret ang mga choices niya?)
D: I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING... IT IS NOT THAT!
A: Fine. Fine... Love Me or Love You?
D: Love Me. (chos lang!)
A: Taong mukhang mabaho pero mabango o taong mukhang mabango pero mabaho?
D: Taong mukhang mabaho pero mabango!
A: Forehead o lips?
D: Lips
A: "Gogogo!" or "Oops, Teka lang?"
D: Go GO GO!!!
A: Constricted or Dilated?
D: Dilated. :)
A: Sinong particular Illumina person ang namimiss mo?
D: *dreamy face* Si Hazel.
A: ooooii... ;)
D: *defensive mode* Kasi taga-Digos man mi. Murag buang man gud siya. Tapos kung magkita
mi, mag-ana lang mi sa isa't isa: "Kumusta na ka?" Tapos daghan kaayo siya'g ginayawyaw about
developments sa life. Daghan man gud siya'g ginashare sa ako--unta pati ang iyang puso. ;)

And the winner is...

Congratulations!!! Not only does Miguel Ian Gabriento have bragging rights, but he also gets his batch t-shirt for free!

So, do you want to own a piece of this? Read on.

HOW TO ORDER

One order of the batch t-shirt costs P205. You can order as many as you like.

The sizes of the shirts are: ***TO FOLLOW, PLEASE WAIT***

To order, simply send a text message to 09177010616 or send an e-mail to illumina06@yahoo.com with your name, the number of t-shirts you are going to order, your size, and where and how you would like to claim the t-shirt (If you are not in Manila).

HOW TO PAY

To those who are currently in Manila, you can personally give your payment to me or anyone from the ILLUMINAte team. If you are currently not in Manila, send your payment via GCash:

What is GCash?

GCash enables any Globe or TM subscriber to send and receive money and make payments just through text/ SMS.

GCash is most commonly used by Globe and TM subscribers for:

· Sending and receiving money locally or internationally since GCash is a much faster, cheaper, and more secure alternative to traditional money transfer services- at the Speed of Text, No Membership, Maintenance, Remittance, or Bank Fees!

· Prepaid Reloading due to the convenience of being able to load anytime and anywhere and the 10% REBATE for every transaction.

How do I start using GCash?

In order to star using GCash a Globe/TM subscriber has to:

1. Register to GCash via text

a. Text:

REG(space)any 4-digit PIN/Mother's Maiden Name/First Name/Last Name/Address

and send to 2882

b. Note that there should be no spaces before and after the slashes (/).

c. Make sure all information provided are true and the subscriber’s name is as reflected on the subscriber’s ID

2. Convert cash into GCash (Cash-in)

a. Via any GCash partner outlet

· Globe Business Centers

· Globelines Payments and Services Centers

· SM Department Stores

· Partner Rural Banks

· Selected Tambunting Pawnshops

· Any many other partners nationwide.

b. Via any partner Bancnet ATM

1) Select other services

2) Fund Transfer

3) Asia United Bank (AUB)/ G-Cash

4) Indicate cellphone number of recipient

5) Indicate amount to be sent

3. Now you can use GCash for the following:

a. To send GCash to other Globe/ TM subscribers just text:

AMOUNT(space)PIN

and send to 2882+the 10 digit number of recipient.

The recipient can then convert GCash into cash (or cash-out) also with the above-mentioned GCash partner outlets. Just Call 2882 for FREE using any Globe/ TM cellphone to find out the nearest GCash partner.

b. To buy Globe/ TM prepaid load just text:

LOAD(space)AMOUNT(space)PIN

and send to:

1) 2882 if buying load for your own cellphone

2) 2882+the 10 digit number of recipient if buying load for others

You should receive confirmation of your payment right away.

If you are not a Globe or TM subscriber, you can still send your payment by:

Going to a Globe Business Center

You can go to any Globe Center and request to do a GCASH cash-in transaction. You will need to fill up a GCASH Service Form, and present any valid ID to complete your transaction. Cashing in at a Globe Center is FREE!

OR going to an accredited GCASH Partner

GCASH has over 1,800 accredited partners around the Philippines. These include SM Department & Metro Gaisano stores. Just like in a Globe Center, you will need to fill up a GCASH Service Form and present a valid ID to complete your GCASH cash-in transaction. You may be charged a transaction fee, which may vary per partner. For a complete list of GCASH outlets, click here.

OR going to a Bancnet ATM

You can also convert the cash in your Bancnet account to GCASH. To convert, you just need to go to any Bancnet ATM, select the option to do a fund transfer to Asia United Bank/GCASH. You will then be asked to key-in the 11-digit number of the mobile number you wish to load. After the transaction is completed, you will receive a text confirmation. You will be charged P25.00/transaction.

If that is still not doable, contact me so that you can send your payment through my ATM or whatever other possible way.

To learn more about G-CASH, go to http://www.g-cash.com.ph/

Remember, if we do not receive your payment by May 20, 2008, we will not process your order.

HOW TO CLAIM

Distribution of the t-shirts will be right after they are finished. We hope to distribute all of them before June.

We already have volunteers to help transport the shirts from Manila to Davao. If you are not in Manila or Davao and want us to send your t-shirt through LBC, or DHL/FedEx (Hi Luis!), tell us so we can canvass how much it will cost, and so that you can include it in your payment. You can also opt to authorize someone to claim the t-shirt for you.


For any questions/problems/whatever, please post a comment.
