The 6 Biggest Job Search Mistakes!

Dr. Maria Josefa Apigo, MD Obstetrics & Gynecology

“Are you trying to get pregnant? Remember to take your Folic Acid supplement 400mcg a day to prevent up to 70% of serious birth defects. Most multivitamins and prenatal vitamins have enough folic acid that is required. It is important to take folic acid BEFORE you get pregnant and continue during pregnancy and lactation. If you have multiple medical problems (ie seizure disorder) or have family history of spina bifida or neural tube defects, you will need extra folic acid supplementation. Please contact your doctor.”

“Sari-saring bagay tungkol sa Immigration…”

by Atty. Frederick F. Calope

adjust from a CN will not be counted against the annual immigrant visa numbers, thereby not creating more of a backlog to those who have been patiently waiting.

TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS FOR HAITIAN NATIONALS

One of the things that I enjoy the most about practicing immigration law is that it is an everchanging landscape. Things that applied a year or two ago may no longer apply today. This month we will look at a couple of the latest topics and developments in US immigration law.

COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM In the middle of December, a bill was introduced in the US House of Representatives that proposes a solution to the broken immigration system. It contains the obligatory provisions that make US borders more secure, greater enforcement of immigration laws to penalize employers that knowingly employ undocumented workers, and the creation of an employment verification system that works.

Within the bill, however, are sections that may be of benefit to family members who have been waiting years, even decades, to immigrate to the US. Moreover, friends or family who have unwittingly found themselves to be in the US without any legal status may now have a path to legalize their status in the US. Those who have been waiting seemingly eons to immigrate to the US may benefit from a provision in the bill that speaks of the “recapture” of unused immigrant visa numbers from 1998-2008 to be applied to those who are currently waiting to immigrate to the US. These recaptured visa numbers may be applied to the current backlog of those awaiting immigrant visas; whether this will result in a large impact to the backlog for Filipinos is uncertain due to the very large numbers of Filipinos awaiting immigrant visas.

In the wake of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti, the US government has decided to allow Haitians that are currently in the US to apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This means that even if the person is in the US without any status, he or she can apply for TPS and can simultaneously apply for work authorization, via a USCIS issued Employment Authorization Document (EAD).

There is much confusion over exactly what TPS is. TPS is not a path to LPR status, much less US citizenship. Typically, TPS is granted in situations where the US has determined that it is not safe or humane to make the individual return to his or her home country. TPS is usually granted for a maximum of 18 months only, unless the country conditions have not changed. However, regardless of the length of time TPS is valid for, when the US government determines that it is now safe to return to the home country, the person in TPS has to return to the home country unless he or she has an independent eligibility of remaining in the US.

A fluent speaker of both Tagalog and Ilokano, and licensed to practice law in both the Philippines and the United States, Fred Calope is a graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University School of Law, and practices US immigration law in Phoenix, AZ. Fred also has a satellite US immigration law office in Manila, Philippines. FFC handles all kinds of immigration matters from employment-based immigration and family-based immigration, to Extraordinary Ability petitions and deportation/removal cases. Because of the fact that Fred is licensed in the Philippines, he can also provide advice regarding Philippine law. Contact the author via email at fcalope@ calopeimmigration.com or via telephone at (480) 707-7188.

More important is the provision that will designate spouses and unmarried minor children of lawful permanent residents (LPRs or “green card” holders) as “immediate relatives.” Currently, spouses and unmarried minor children of LPRs are considered to be 2nd preference immigrants. At the moment, due to backlogs, only those who are the beneficiaries of a petition filed prior to March 1, 2006 are eligible for an immigrant visa. If the bill becomes law, spouses and unmarried minor children will no longer have to wait for an immigrant visa number and can immediately become LPRs. This is similar to the situation for spouses and unmarried minor children of US citizens.

Interestingly, there is a minor provision of the bill that will exempt sons and daughters of Filipino WWII veterans from numerical limitations.

This means that they will now be classified as “immediate relatives” as well and will not be subject to long backlogs. This is long-overdue On the other hand, if the bill is passed into law, those who are currently here in the US without legal status will have an opportunity to legalize and become “Conditional Nonimmigrants.” CNs will be provided with work and travel authorization and protection from removal (deportation). In order to be eligible, the undocumented person must establish that they were in the US on the day that the law becomes valid. At time of registration, the person must show his or her contributions to the US through employment, education, military service, or other volunteer/community service. The individual must clear criminal and security background checks and pay a $500 fine and any necessary application fees. Please note that the person will not be eligible to receive a visa if he or she has a serious criminal conviction.

After a period of six years, the CN can adjust status to an LPR Adjustment of Status to LPR. The good news is that immigrants who

Looking Good, Feeling Great- A Special Weight Loss Report

If you’ve tried just about every diet, weight loss program and ‘miracle’ fat dissolver on the planet but still have been unable to lose weight and keep it off, sit down now and give me your undivided attention, for what I’m about to share with you could very well be the most important piece of information you’ve come across all year!

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight? If so, you’re not alone.

In fact, an estimated 50 million Americans will go on diets this year. And while some will succeed in taking the weight off, very few– perhaps 5 percent–will manage to keep all of it off in the long run!

So, Why Do So Many Dieters Fail To Lose Weight? One reason for the low success rate is that many people simply look for quick and easy solutions to their weight problems!

So they succumb to quick-fix claims such as “Eat All You Want and Still Lose Weight!” or “Melt Fat Away While You Sleep!” and they invest their hopes (and their money) in all types of pills, potions, gadgets, and programs that hold the promise of a slimmer, happier future.

Unfortunately, because of this “quick fix approach” to weight loss, most dieters gain back one to two-thirds of the weight they’ve lost by the end of the first year, with almost all of the weight returning within five years!

Why Do We Gain Weight In The First Place?

For years, theories about why we gain weight have revolved around the calories in-calories out model. In other words, if you take in more calories than you burn off, you will put on weight. Therefore, if you eat less food and exercise more, weight loss should occur, right? …WRONG! Unfortunately, for most of us it’s not that easy!

In fact, those of us who have ever been on a calorie restrictive diet, exercised on a daily basis and drank glass after glass of water but still the needle on the bathroom scale didn’t move an inch can vouch… To further prove this point, I’m sure you know someone that eats more calories than a bear getting ready for hibernation and never ever sets foot in a gym but doesn’t put on one single solitary pound…

much more to weight loss than just that!

Governmental organizations, private companies and physicians alike are now doing more and more research into the science of fat loss. Some of these studies are already shedding new light on the causes of weight gain and obesity.

In fact, my own review of the literature showed that there are not one, but ten factors responsible for why we pack on the pounds and, even if you diet and exercise on a regular basis, if they are not identified and corrected, your weight loss efforts could possibly be in vain!

These “weight gain factors” are as follows: 1. Bad Food Selections 2. Increased Stress Levels 3. Lack of Sleep 4. Low Basal Metabolic Rate 5. Hormone Imbalance 6. Sluggish Liver Function 7. Genetics 8. Not Enough or Wrong Type of Exercise 9. Lack of Proper Monitoring of Your Weight Loss and Exercise Programs 10. Not Having Your Diet Evaluated and Monitored By a Doctor Trained In The Science of Weight Management Now that you know the 10 factors responsible for why we’re fat, it’s easy to see now why most diet plans fail! But how can you determine if one or all of these factors are responsible for your weight gain?

See a doctor trained in the science of weight management and who understands the 10 factors that make us pack on the pounds.

Allow Me To Introduce Myself: My name is Dr. Red Espiritu and I am a physician practicing right here in town. My office is located at 20325 N. 51st Ave, Suite 100. In fact, my office is probably just a short walk or ride from your home.

I am not only licensed to practice medicine and have advanced training in anti-aging medicine and weight control therapy, but I also have experience in identifying and treating the 10 weight gain factors described in this report.

In fact, over the years I’ve helped numerous people just like you find a better way to lose the weight they want and get the body they desire using my easy to follow plan!

Here’s how my 3-step program works: Step I: The Initial Weight Loss Evaluation: During this crucial first part of our weight loss and body-shaping program one of my medical staff will consult with you to determine which of the “weight gain factors” may be causing you to gain weight.

But it doesn’t stop with we adults; today, even our children are struggling to keep their weight in check! One in four children between the ages of two and five are obese!

We will then go over your goals.

And for them, the same holds true…CALORIC RESTRICTION ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH!

Additionally, the following baseline studies will be performed:

The sad fact of the matter is that most diet plans fail to look at the underlying causes of weight gain and only focus on caloric intake, protein or carbohydrate consumption and exercise levels. Now don’t get me wrong, although these factors are important, there is

1. Height/Weight & Body Tape Measurements 2. Percent Body Fat Analysis 3. Lean Body Weight vs. Body Fat Weight 4. Basal Metabolic Index (BMI) & Rate Calculations 5. Goal Weight & Body Fat To

Lose Computations Step II: The Comprehensive Weight Loss Examination: At this point, a thorough consultation and examination will be performed and, if necessary, diagnostic tests such as blood and urine analyses will be ordered to evaluate organ function and identify any underlying “weight gain factors” such as a hidden food allergy.

Step III: The Weight Loss & Body Shaping Plan: Next, I will review all your test results and body measurements with you, then prescribe a completely customized plan for you that may include one or all of the following: dietary recommendations, nutritional supplements and exercise recommendations.

This is done with the primary goal in mind to…

1. Eliminate stored fat 2. Prevent the formation & accumulation of new fat 3. Stop hunger and curb those sweet cravings 4. Change your fat to muscle ratio & improve your body shape.

Unlike other weight loss programs, which tend to focus on the first and sometimes the second goal listed above, we can assist with goals three and four as well! We also give you a medical cosmetic option to help you improve your body shape by incorporating Cosmetic Mesotherapy with our proven physicians weight loss and exercise program to help you not only lose pounds, BUT INCHES TOO… especially at those stubborn spots around your thighs, abdomen, back of your arms and under your chin!

At the end of the program, monthly monitoring and evaluations can help keep you on track!

Currently, I Am Offering My Weight Loss & Body Shaping Evaluation ABSOLUTELY FREE! That’s right...You can just come in and try the first part of my Physicians Weight Loss & Body Shaping Program and see if you feel comfortable with me and my unique program absolutely free!

During this time I will perform the initial weight loss evaluation and we can then discuss your specific situation in detail to see if my program is the best option for you. There will be absolutely NO OBLIGATION and NO PRESSURE to go further! If, after the appointment, you believe there is no benefit to working with me, you simply leave. No hard feelings!

It’s easy to take this first step, simply call my office today at 623-434-0336 and tell my receptionist that you would like to schedule your FREE Initial Weight Loss Evaluation, the first phase of my Physicians Weight Loss & Body Shaping Program.

Note: When you call my office, please feel free to ask my staff about our other non-surgical, cosmetic treatments and programs to help you look and feel your best at every age!

I look forward to meeting with you in the not so distant future so that maybe I can help you like I’ve helped numerous other local residents get the body of their dreams! Either way, I hope you’ve found this report informative and wish you good luck and good health.- Dr. Red

IOLO ASCUAL

was born January 12, 1977. Papa P, as he is endearly called, is a film and television actor, ramp/commercial model, musician (singer/songwriter and group member of The HUNKS and Hearthrobs), and film producer of Spring Films.

Since the beginning, he has been a long-time contract actor of ABS-CBN’s Star Magic and is an exclusive contract artist of ABS-CBN, Star Records, and Star Cinema. He celebrated his 10th year anniversary in 2007 with a coffee table book (Piolo: Believing), a fifth solo album (Timeless), and a second major solo concert at the Araneta Coliseum (Ten: Piolo).

Now on his 13th year in 2010, Piolo Pascual, who’s the embodiment of success in local show business in the Philippines today, believes that fate is the reason for his success.

A quick background check on his showbiz history supports his position.

In his early teen years, he became a part of “That’s Entertainment” but his career failed to take off. After high school, he joined UST’s theater group, Teatro Tomasino, and soon bagged a part in an ABS-CBN children show, “Atbp.” He then made it to Star Circle, Batch 3 but before he could catch up with his more popular contemporaries, Piolo chose to live

Irresistibly Charming, Accomplished and Unattached with his mom in the United States, where he did a string of odd jobs instead of pursuing a college degree. He then made the biggest decision that changed his life for the better. He went back to the Philippines and picked up from where he had left off. He got his big break in the weekly miniseries, “Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako,” (The Moment You Need Me) and got the main role in the film “Lagarista.” Piolo’s short stint in the soap “Esperanza” led to a fruitful partnership with his most popular leading lady, Ms. Judy Ann Santos.

He became a film actor with brief appearance as Jussi Leino in The Vizconde Massacre Story: God Help Us (1993) and a supporting role in Batang PX (1997).

His first big cinema break was when he played the title role in Lagarista (2000). It is where he received his first Gawad Urian nomination for Best Actor. Lagarista was also exhibited in the

Toronto, Pusan and Hongkong film festivals.

In 2003, Piolo bagged a rare grand slam feat when he played the role of Eliazar Bartolome opposite Vilma Santos and Christopher de Leon, in Dekada '70. He collected a total of eight awards from all the existing award-giving bodies at that time in the Best Supporting Actor category starting with the Metro Manila Film Festival in December 2002 and culminating with the Gawad Urian in May 2003. Dekada '70 was the Philippine entry for the Best Foreign Film Language category in the 76th Academy Awards in 2004.

In addition, Dekada ‘70 (together with Milan and Panaghoy sa Suba) was also exhibited in the New Cinema of the World section of the Cannes Film Festival in May 2005.

A couple of hits and some strategic career-management planning later, Piolo is the hottest actor in the Philippines. He states, “We make our own destiny. But everything comes from God.” The most sought-after actor/

-- Piolo feels that there’s a higher being responsible for all the good things that are happening in his life. This realization has redefined his spirituality. Piolo now tries his best to faithfully attend his Church’s Sunday service, and also to read the Bible and pray more. He said, “God’s been so good to me. Honestly, I don’t feel I deserve all these blessings. But I savor each one of them and I treat it as a gift. Now I want to be a living example of God’s goodness.” He is now one of the busiest stars in Asia. 2009 was a really big year for Piolo. He turned producer for the first time via Manila, an independent twin bill film that pays homage to Lino Brocka's Jaguar and Ishmael Bernal's Manila By Night.

After its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009, Manila had its official Philippines premiere in July 2009 as the opening film of the 5th Cinemalaya Film Festival.

We also found out from Direk Joyce Bernal that Piolo is “matipid”, being one of the producers of Spring Films along with Joyce, Shayne Sarte and Erickson Raymundo. She also divulged that Piolo’s favorite line is, “Magtipid kayo!”

Joyce fondly recalls, “Si Piolo, nung first day pa lang namin, meron na kaming famous line... ‘Magtipid kayo!’ Yun yung line niya lagi. So meron kaming personal joke na kunwari, minsan magtatawagan, magkakayayaang manood ng sine.

Tatawag ‘yang si PJ (Piolo), sasabihin niya, ‘Oh, nasaan ka na?’ Sasagot ako, ‘Oh, nandito pa ako, nagtitipid pa ako, e!’ Na ang ibig sabihin, nasa shooting pa ako, or may ginagawa pa. Kahit anong ginagawa ko, ang isasagot ko sa kanya, ‘Nagtitipid pa ako, teka lang!’”

Kimmy Dora (Kambal sa Kiyeme), was very successful as it grossed over P30 million on its first week. The sales were based through a lot of good feedbacks coming from the first batch of moviegoers who recommended the movie to their friends and relatives.

This was also a successful film production debut for Piolo Pascual and Spring Films as they launched Eugene Domingo for her very first starring role.

singer discloses that he’s humbled by his achievements. Each time that he accomplishes something -- a box-office hit, top-rating TV show, concert, recording or an acting award -Not all people know that he is also into photography which he does during his spare time, a hobby which later on turned into another creative venture. Twelve out of thousands of shots he has made were rendered into a desktop calendar that offers a behind-the-camera glimpse of an actor, whose life has been the topic of many curious admirers. The photos, which according to Piolo captured his adventure, depict how differently he sees the beauty of life and environment.

very hot-tempered. That’s before I knew Christ, before I knew that I needed the Lord beside me.”

Although he remains on good terms with his son’s mother, and also had some close female showbiz friends including Judy Ann Santos, Claudine Barreto, Regine Velasquez, Rica Paralejo, Toni Gonzaga, Angel Locsin and now KC Concepcion. He is not dating anyone seriously, and has said that if he ever marries it won’t be until he’s in his 30’s. He already turned 33 this January 12, 2010 but still no serious engagement to anybody.

Intense and irresistible are the best words to describe Piolo Pascual. Stealing thousands of women’s hearts in the Philippines, Piolo is indeed one man audiences just can’t refuse.

But what makes fans, specially women, scream their hearts out over Piolo Pascual? A lot of friends and co-workers say that the TV/ film actor, singer/composer, ramp/commercial model, film producer & now photographer is not just an appealing person but honest and kind-hearted as well.

KC Concepcion finds Piolo Pascual a very supportive leading man during their stint in ABS-CBN’s Lovers in Paris. She said, “No one can deny that Piolo Pascual is a big star.

Na-master na talaga niya ang pagiging actor lalo na sa teleserye. Alam na alam na niya lahat, mula sa pag-aaral ng script, paggalaw sa camera, working with your director and the crew. Sa pago-observe ko pa lang sa kanya ang dami ko nang natututunan.”

He showed his flair as a lens master in a benefit photo exhibit on view last Dec. 9 to 18, 2009 held at the Art Hall of the Enterprise Center along Ayala Avenue in Makati. “SunPiology” is a project in partnership with Sun Life Financial, an international financial services organization.

All proceeds of the benefit photo exhibit went to Hebreo Foundation, which main advocacy is to provide education to poor children. The actor himself didn’t finish college but still values education, and through Hebreo Foundation, he asserts that he can apply the mindset of giving value to finishing school by giving hope and encouragement to people to take advantage of the chance to attend school.

Piolo has a 12-year-old son, Iñigo, with a former girlfriend. “Ang sarap maging daddy.

I like the feeling of responsibility that comes with it. My son’s proud of me and I really enjoy it. We go to the mall, watch movies, play at the arcade, shop for stuff. Enjoy talaga.”

Father and son frequently worship together on Sundays at the Victory Christian Fellowship Church in Pasig City. Piolo is a born-again Christian, which among other things has helped him control his temper. He says that when he first entered showbiz he “used to be

birthday on ASAP last Jan. 10, 2010 where KC Concepcion surprised him with her presence as Piolo was singing Nagmamahal ng Tunay from his album Timeless. Piolo beamed upon seeing KC singing with him and everybody saw the happiness felt that moment because of KC’s presence on his very special day.

A few years back, Piolo declared that he will get married once he reaches 32. He is now 33 and still unattached nor engaged to anyone.

Does this mean that KC Concepcion could be the woman he intends to spend the rest of his life with? That remains to be seen.

His overpowering presence is not just evident with women but sometimes he also makes other big stars feel diminutive. His recent guest appearance at Willy Revillame’s Wowowee’s advance birthday celebration last Jan. 24 made women gloat over him to the point that those near him were trying to touch his feet while others were screaming their hearts out.

Willy felt outshined so he had to go out the backstage and call himself in twice to make himself feel better. Piolo doesn’t even have to lift a finger to do that.

Piolo could not believe that he was chosen to play Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. in an MMK 2-part Ninoy-Cory Aquino Love Story Special together with Bea Alonzo (as Cory) aired January 23 and 30. He said, “Napakalaking challenge nito para sa akin, to portray an icon who is well loved by many people. But I believe this is a great opportunity for me. As actors, we always look for things that will excite and challenge us. Pikit-mata ko itong tinanggap.”

There are still talks of making a Ninoy biomovie, but it is still unsure who will bag the role. Piolo said, “I haven’t thought that far.

Dito muna sa MMK ang focus ko. Malaking opportunity na ito para sa akin. Kung dumiretso man sa pelikula e maganda ‘yun para sa akin bilang aktor.” He also said that he is just brushing off comments that he is not fit to play Ninoy on screen. “Nauna naman ‘yung negative criticisms bago ang pag-taping namin. Like I said, pikit-mata kong tinanggap ang role. Kung ano man ‘yung negative na nasabi e naitawid ko na siguro. Ipagpapasa

While doing Lovers in Paris, it is very evident that something beautiful developed between KC and Piolo. The two were always guesting in talk shows and constantly being asked what’s going on between the two of them but neither of them admits nor denies that their relationship is developing into something more serious.

This February 13, 2010, 7:00 pm, on a one night only show, the Ultimate Heartthrob, Piolo Pascual, will serenade and melt

everyone’s hearts with his most unforgettable hits. Featuring a FULL LIVE BAND, and front act by the Jazz Diva Isabel Davis and the Motion Dancer. the concert entitled, “A Valentine with Piolo Pascual” will be held at the University Public School Phoenix, located at 735 E. Fillmore St., Phoenix, Arizona.

Piolo also has a new album under Star Records entitled Decades (The Best Love Songs of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s). He is very

excited about this since it’s his first time to do an all-standards album. He said, “That’s where the excitement lies. It’s so nice to record standards after my previous albums where most of the cuts are heart-tugging or highly emotional. With Decades, all the tracks are easy-listening and very relaxed. This is my sixth album for Star Records and I’m proud to co-produce it with them”.

The year looks great for Piolo Pascual with local and out-of-the country concerts/ guestings, challenging film/TV projects, and more music albums to make but still, with his busy schedule he somehow finds some quality time to spend with his son Iñigo. Great job! Great life! All he needs to get right now is the right partner to spend the rest of his life with… or maybe he already found that special someone. And if ever things don’t work out then it’s definitely not a problem… women will be lining up anytime, anywhere. That’s Piolo Pascual… irresistibly charming, accomplished and unattached!

A SHORT SALE SAGA By: Maria Hass, Realty Executives

Negotiating a short sale is complex. Every transaction is custom-made depending on the seller's loan, the seller's lender, the negotiator, the seller's situation and the buyer. A negotiator of a short sale transaction is similar to a conductor conducting an orchestra. All instruments in a symphony must come together in harmony, just as all parties in a short sale must come to terms to allow a short sale to close.

Six months ago, I started negotiations on a short sale with one of the biggest banks in North America. It is by far the most horrible bank with which to negotiate a short sale. The bank’s reputation is such that, in some cases, Realtors will not put an offer in on a home if the seller's loan is with this bank. The bank took 30 days to upload the documents. The file then was assigned to the first phase negotiator to check if ALL documents are complete. Then, it got transferred to the 2nd Phase negotiator to negotiate the file. I emailed and called one to three times a week, but the negotiator never picked up her phone. She did not answer any emails either.

I escalated the file to the supervisor and the next day I got a secured email saying that the file was transferred to a different phase 2 negotiator and the 15-day period for review was reset to Day 1. What the heck?!?

Three months into the short sale, the new negotiator again did not respond to my weekly emails and phone calls. Customer service would not escalate the file until Day 15 had passed. I escalated the file anyway to a supervisor and a new email came in from the newest Phase 2 negotiator. After two escalations in a row, the newest negotiator came back with the investor's guidelines, dictating that the lender would not cover many of the title fees and would ask for the commission and closing costs to be reduced, and so on. Regardless of the changes, I was happy to finally get a response from the negotiator. I called the buyer's agent to share the great progress, only to find out that the buyer was under contract with another home and walking away from the deal. I would have retained the buyer if the seller's bank did not waste too much time changing negotiators.

In the fourth month of negotiation, a new offer came in. I presented the new offer to the seller's lender but they told me that the file was already closed because the additional documents they requested were not submitted to the bank I argued that it was submitted so they reopened the file. I took a deep breath, glad to have a second chance with this offer. But wait. I had to start all over with the new offer and wait for the bank to assign yet another Phase 1 negotiator. What the heck?!?

A week later, the new Phase 1 negotiator was assigned. It was clear to me that the negotiator could not spell or write in clear English.

But regardless of his literacy level, he had the power to decline the short sale as it was only a few days before the foreclosure date. Sure enough, he declined the file because the seller wouldn’t pay a $3,400 extension fee. I was so furious. I sent the negotiator a well-deserved critical email with copies to his supervisors. He reversed his decision in response to the email and extended the foreclosure date for a month.

We are now on the sixth month of the short sale and still going.

The file was assigned to a Phase 2 negotiator who seemed better trained than the others. After review of the file, the Phase 2 negotiator countered $7,000 more on the purchase price. The buyer declined the counteroffer. The negotiator suggested I put the house back on the market and get a higher price. I convinced the negotiator that the market value she was basing the counter on was incorrect and sent comps to prove my case. She then agreed to submit the current offer to upper management for approval. So, that’s were we are for the moment. The file has gone through six negotiators, was declined three times and lost the first appraisal report in six months. It's been a roller coasterride.

All the short sales I’ve done in the past have successfully closed, but this one is a particular challenge. The bank has a poor system of 18 • Chikka Magazine (February 2010) • www.ChikkaMagazine.com

processing short sales and a lack of trained and qualified negotiators to determine the fate of a $500,000 home and the future of a homeowner. The bank’s practice of passing the file among several negotiators does not allow ownership and accountability; no one claims responsibility for the file if it is lost or badly-handled. Short sales are a menacing process which I have learned to acceptand deal with successfully. It is the dominating category in the current real estate market and will be for sometime. Handling these sales is not for every Realtor, but for someone who has the tenacity and care for their customers to survive.

Sinulog 2010 Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church Feast of Sto. Nino held on Jan. 17, 2010 at the Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church. Celebrated by Filipino-Americans various organization throughout the Valley. Before the Mass began, the procession was held which included music and dances followed with performances by FAAAZ, Samahang Bayanihan along with other groups. The Desert Duo and Gene Flores also made an appearance. The Mass was held by the Bishop of the Diocese of Phoenix, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted.

The Sinulog Festival is a Philippine festival which honors the Sto. Niño. It takes place in January over a 9-day period, coming to a climax on the 3rd Sunday of January. The main highlights of the festival include a religious procession which takes place on the last Saturday, a high Mass wherein the traditional Sinulog dance is performed.

The word sinulog comes from a Cebuano word meaning, “like the movement of water currents.” The name is a reference to the forward-backward steps in the Sinulog dance; the rhythmic motion is reminiscent of the movement of the eddies of Cebu’s old Pahina River. The dancers basically take two steps forward and one step backward to the beat of a drum.

Historically, devotion to the Sto. Niño has survived and grown in Philippine culture over the centuries, especially in the Visayas region.

Pilgrims from all over the Philippines as well as Cebu go to the Basilica every year to participate in the procession and festival.

In different parts of Cebu, smaller versions of this festival can also be seen. The commercialization of this festival has made Cebu a top tourist destination in January.

It's Valentine's Day

who you are and it is the only thing that really matters in the end.

- Remember the Love

My favorite day of the year has always been Valentine's Day. It didn't matter if I was alone on that day or not, I still adored it. Valentine's day for me is a celebration of love, love in its many forms, romantic love between a man and a woman, the never-ending love of family and dear friends, the enduring love between a parent and child, the abiding love between a human and their beloved pet, love of self and love shared with communities or the world.

In our society we seem to need an excuse to tell people how we feel about them, or show them with tokens of our affection. At Christmas, we exchange gifts and take time away from our busy schedules to be with the people who really matter in our lives. On Valentine's day we are presented with yet another opportunity to open our hearts and share our souls. The marketplace makes it very easy for us to do that, presenting us with a cornucopia of delicacies and finery, from chocolates, to strawberries and whipped cream, to diamonds, singing teddy bear deliveries, and an abundance of greeting cards with just the right sentiment.

It matters not how you choose to serenade the ones you love on this auspicious occasion, what matters is that you do! Whether it be with a store bought treasure or a simple handmade delight, the form is not important, but the sentiment is! Valentine's day gives you another opportunity to do something that comes naturally for you, as natural as breathing, and that is to BE love and to GIVE love. It is

FEBRUARY QUOTE Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; All the rest have thirtyone, Excepting February alone Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine, Till leap year gives it twenty-nine.

I leave you with a Valentine Poem and my love...

A Table in a Restaurant on Valentine's Day I want to be a table, in a restaurant, on Valentine's Day! Think how glorious that would be, And how many people would spend that special day with me.

What will they talk about? What will they say? Will there be laughter and people at play? What are their stories?

How far have they come? What will they tell me, the old and the young?

Will hearts open and tender souls touch? Will there be magic that moves me so much? Will there be secrets and sadness as well? How much will they venture to be and to tell?

Will they remember this day gone before? And where they were then, and now they want more?

And though they look different, with each changing place, As the food and the wine, they're invited to taste.

Each one is trying to do the same thing, Whether in depth, or a casual fling.

Just for a moment to touch someone's heart,

February Facts • The second day of February is often referred to as GROUND HOG's DAY. The old stories told are that the ground hog comes out of it's burrow on February 2, to look for it's shadow. If there is sunshine and he sees his shadow, then he goes back to sleep and there will be more winter time. If he doesn't, then the spring time will begin. This is a superstition.

• VALENTINE'S DAY is celebrated on February 14 in most western countries.

Children give valentines and have a party in school. Young and old exchange cards with loved ones. This custom is hundreds of years old, valentine greetings having been found that date back into the 1400's.

• The third Monday in February is PRESIDENT'S DAY. Both Washington and Lincoln's birthdays were in February.

It is considered a Federal holiday for celebration of Washington's birthday, but most states also honor all president's on this day.

• The Roman Catholic Church celebrates February 2 as Candlemas Day. The candles used in the church during the rest of the year are blessed on February 2.

• February is African American History Month (Black History Month)

And feel loved by another before they do part.

18th ANNUAL CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC CONFERENCE DIOCESE OF PHOENIX

The elderly population increased eleven fold between 1900 and 1194; the nonelderly increased only threefold. In this century, the rate of growth of the elderly population (persons 65 years old and over) has greatly exceeded the growth rate of the population of the country as a whole. The elderly increased by a factor of 11, from 3 million in 1900 to 33 million in 1994. In comparison, the total population, as well as the population under 65 years old, tripled. Under the Census Bureau’s middle series projections, the number of persons 65 years old and over would more than double by the middle of the next century to 80 million.

About 1 in 8 Americans were elderly in 1994, but about 1 in 5 would be elderly by the year 2030.

The need for health care workers is going to be excessive in the next coming years, thus Cactus Wren Training Program have opened a vocational school for Caregivers, Nursing Assistants, Assisted Living Facility Managers, Phlebotomy Technicians and the upcoming Pharmacy Technician Training Program. We also offer CPR/First Aid classes, continuing educational units for caregivers and assisted living facility managers.

The 6 Biggest Job Search Mistakes!

It's always amazing to me how job hunters fall into the same old traps that can damage their job campaign. You MUST avoid these fundamental flaws that can sabotage your job search campaign.

1. Writing a resume no one wants to read! Your resume can NOT focus on YOU and your past!

It must show employers how you can make a difference to them going forward.

They could care less about your career goals and job objectives. Or your work history, for that matter. UNLESS you can show them how it affects their bottom line. And remember, employers are buying YOU . . . not your resume! Your resume should be used like a business card after you meet someone.

2. Wasting your time on published job openings. If you want a long and painful job search campaign, keep answering ads and visiting agencies. Why? Remember COMPETITION? You're putting yourself right

in the middle of it where everyone else is.

Now I'm not saying you can't eventually get a job this way. But if you want to make a SUBSTANTIAL MOVE and do it FAST, this is definitely not the way to go.

3. Shot gunning your resume. The theory goes something like this: if I throw enough paper into the market, the law of averages has to work for me. At some point someone will want me. WRONG! The only law at work here is that the printing company and the post office and the job search websites are going to get rich.

5. Waiting for the phone to ring. Is there anything worse than waiting nervously for someone important to call you back . . . especially when you think they're supposed to?

If your attitude is, "I've got great looking credentials, lots of experience, an excellent work history . . . so here I am -- come get me!". . . you're in for a long, long job search. You have to take the initiative. Pick up the phone and find out what's happening.

Don't waste your time sending a resume if it's not specifically targeted. Broad distribution of your resume is the least productive way to look for a job.

6. Interviewing like a WIMP. Look, you get only one shot at the person who could be your next boss. You better come across like a pro.

That means: be prepared . . . be rehearsed . . . be assertive. If you're not in control of the interview process YOU'RE OUT!

4. Failure to follow up. Don't even bother with a job search web-site campaign at all if you don't plan to follow up personally -- by phone and mail. It's that old competition thing again.

This is a great time to re-evaluate your job campaign. And make a course correction and put together a fresh plan that avoids the biggest pitfalls.

You have to get your foot in the door ahead of the pack. And don't expect an interview to lead to anything if you don't follow up by phone and letter.
