She is slowly slipping away

But still what I feel forher stayed. I continuedto love her secretly.

One day I blurtedout what I felt for herand told her what Ijust said was true. Iwas willing to sacrificeanything for her. I loveher, Joe, and I willgive up everything forher. We stayed friendsand I was grateful andthankful to God be-cause for that blessingof friendship.

After one year andfive months, theybroke up. I was sad ina way because she washurting. But soon, sheslowly began tochange. She started

avoiding me. Someonetold me that she’s nowinto a new relation-ship. I’m hoping that Iwould be given achance but I know myplace, Joe. I am just afriend to her, no more,no less. But I miss her,Joe. I don’t know whatto do. I think of herevery day. I love her,Joe, even if know thatshe won’t love meback. All I have and allI can offer her is my

love, understandingand respect. I wanther joys to be my joysand her pains I wantto endure alone.

I need your help,Joe. I can’t think ofanything that willmake her notice meagain. I want us tostay as friends buteven that seems to befading too. She isslowly slipping away,Joe. Please help me.

God Bless,Vhong

VHONG,It is sometimes unfortu-nate why the people wewant to love choose notto love us back. I believethat we all have amatch in this world andwhen one attempt to arelationship fails, it sim-ply means that relation-ship is not meant to be.This could be easilydealt with if only ouremotions are not in-volved when we start to

feel strongly for some-one but more often thannot, the heart rulesstrongly over our head.

Vhong, I believe thatif it is only friendshipthat you want fromCes, she wouldn’t be sodistant to you. I knowshe treats you as onebut she knows that youfeel something morethan friendship for herand maybe, that is thereason why she choosesto shy away from you.She knows in her heartthat she can never bemore than a friend andshe probably feels moreuncomfortable nowthat she knows yourtrue feelings for her.

Telling her youloved her may not havebeen such a good ideabecause it distancedher from you but I be-lieve that being true towhat you felt wassomething you oweyourself and Ces. Therecouldn’t have been a

better way to let herknow that she was spe-cial to you. You tookyour risk when yousaid that you loved herand now you trulyknow where you stand.

Vhong, this is theperfect time for you torealize that your lifeshould not be depen-dent on someone else’spresence. You have tostrive to be happy evenwithout Ces. Remem-ber that, at one pointin your life, youshould stop missingher and start thinkingabout what you havebeen missing becauseof her. You are missingan opportunity to behappy with someoneelse. Someone who willnot consciously avoidyou but choose to bewith you. Someonewho will not just listenwhen you say “I loveyou” but someone whowill say it, too andlove you even more.

DEAR Joe,I always listen to your programbut I never thought that Iwould write you and will askfor your help.

Call me Vhong. Isaw Ces in this oneevent. What happenedwas she stepped onmy foot and dared notto apologize. Andwhen I turnedaround, I saw a beau-tiful angelic face. I feltsomething that day,Joe, that I can’t ex-plain. We hadn’t hadany chance to talk be-cause she didn’t noticeme. I haven’t been in-to any relationship,Joe. But I know I feltthat magic. It waslove at first sight!

That day I over-heard her say that she’sa member of this on-line group. I was excit-ed, Joe, because I wasa member of the same

group. I wasdetermined tofind her. Andluckily, I did. We sente-mails, exchange sto-ries and texted eachother frequently. Every-day I felt somethingdeeper. I know that Ilove her Joe but didn’tsay anything abouthow I feel because Iwas scared to lose her.

We go out once amonth, sometimestwice, sometimes threetimes. We watchshows, concerts of ourfavorite singers and at-tended parties togeth-er. This went on forfive months until shetold me that she isnow into a relation-ship. I was hurt, Joe.

it’s possible. You haveto constantly work onit until it becomes ahabit. Once you starteating healthy andbeing active you willsee and feel the dif-ference. It’s not aboutbeing skinny, it’sabout being fit,healthy and strong.”

Partnering withKenny Rogers Roastersas one of the restau-rant’s health advocatesmakes great sense, shesays. “I want people tobe aware that beinghealthy is a choice

and anyone can do it.No matter how busyyou are, you can al-ways find time to ex-ercise, A quick, 30-minute work-out oreven just a 15 minuterun will make a differ-ence.

“Eat on time andchoose a healthy mealover junk food. We’revery fortunate thatthere’s Kenny Rogerseverywhere, with somany yummy selec-tions in their menuthere’s no excuse to eatbad food anymore.”

I ZA Calzado has that rarefied kindof beauty that never fails to be-guile. With a face that is a magical

combination of innocence and sultri-ness, a fit and trim body, and an ultra-feminine carriage, she is a stunningpresence to practically anybody whobeholds her.

Coupled with act-ing smarts—she has anumber of Best Ac-tress accolades underher belt, both frommainstream and inde-pendent cinema—shehas become one ofthe country’s most in-triguing personalities,certainly someoneworth watching manytimes over.

Many people arefamiliar with her sto-ry, how she managedto overcome obesity tobecome the alluringlysvelte embodiment ofwomanhood that shenow represents. Herdetermined battleagainst weight gainand how she shed offher pounds has be-come an inspiring talefor the many women(as well as men) whothemselves are strug-gling against obesity.

Her zeal for im-parting the gospel offitness and healthyeating has given anadded dimension toher celebrity. As anunofficial spokesper-son for healthy living,she gives generouslyof her time to shareher experiences onlosing weight, grant-ing extensive inter-views to the press onhow she deals withher continuing foodissues, her rigorousexercise regimen, andher search for balancein her life.

With her father,the late Lito Calzadoa TV director and

choreographer, Izaknew she was born tobe in show business.Yet her weight—shesays she had lost 80pounds in her senioryear in high schoolalone—made that as-piration virtually im-possible. Her determi-nation and iron re-solve to lose weighthas paid off in a verysuccessful acting ca-reer that has seen herreap a number of BestActress awards.

Good nutrition anda rigorous exerciseregimen remain partof her life now. Run-ning has become apassion as well assticking to a low-fatdiet. As the new hostof Biggest Loser: PinoyEdition, Iza has founda new sense of pur-pose sharing her per-sonal experiences oflosing weight withthose faced with thesame struggles.

She relishes herrole being able to em-pathize and supportthose determined tolose weight. For her,the bottom line is tocommit to a healthylifestyle.

“When I made thatdecision I knew therewas no turning backand I’ve never beenhappier,” she says. “Iwant to share thatwith everyone goingthrough weight prob-lems and eating disor-ders. I’m not sayingit’s easy, it’s not anovernight change but

Singing in the New YearLAST Saturday Jan-uary 5, thousands offans gathered at theMOA Arena for SilverRewind, the repeat25th anniversary per-formance of Asia'ssongbird, the one andonly Regine Ve-lasquez.

I was there duringthe first show inNovember and I wasalso blessed enoughto see the repeat andit was definitelyworth the wait.

Umpisa pa lamangay naging emosyonalna ang karamihan.

They opened witha VTR of the firstshow, an emotionalRegine apologizingfor losing her voicethe morning beforethe big night.

During the repeat,to say her voice wasflawless would be an

understatement. Shereally gave it her alland more. Singing hitafter hit and evensome songs that werenever recorded, thecrowd couldn’t getenough of her awe-some voice.

Jokingly, Reginesaid midway throughthe concert, “na-missko ang boses ko.Ngayon ko lang na-appreciate.”

Maraming newguests this timearound like: La Diva,

Rachelle Ann Go, KCMontero etc.

The scene-stealerwas Jaya na hindinagpahuli sa biritanand entertained theaudience with herwit.

Crowd-pleaser dinsi Gloc 9 who sanghis hit “Sirena” withRegine Velasquez. Isaitong kanta namalapit sa puso samaraming mga “beki”dahil tungkol ito sapagtanggap sa sarili.

Regine has becomean icon para sa lahatng uri ng tao at lalona sa mga beki. I re-ally enjoyed seeingher own it. Ang pag-ka-prangka, kalog,fashionista at sweet-ness ni Regine are afew of the traits thatmake her not just an

admirable celebritybut a loveable person.

Themosttouch-ingmo-mentswerewhen she sang trib-utes to her son, Nate,

husband, Ogie andher parents. Napaka-

Directed by MarkTuviera and accordingto TV5’s Vice Presi-dent for Entertain-ment Perci Intalan,Kidlat will be unlikeany heroserye seen onPhilippine TV. Kidlatis no typical super-hero, he also hasflaws and hang-upswhich will make himrelatable to viewers ofall ages.

At the press con-ference last Sunday,January 6, DerekRamsay was accom-panied by his sup-portive parents andsome of his closefriends. Derek toldthe press that thisteleserye is “thecoolest thing he's everdone.” Truly, Derekseems happy to be awelcome addition tothe happy network.

During the 2010 elections,Globe also lent its ICT expertise tothe Parish Pastoral Council for Re-sponsible Voting (PPCRV), Nation-al Citizens’ Movement for FreeElections (NAMFREL), and SIm-bahang Lingkod ng Bayan (SLB).
