Happy wife, Happy life 4 Chinkee, “I think I am losing interest with my spouse. The feeling is not as strong as before; I am falling out of love. What can I do?” First of all, let us go back to the basics. Let us look at the definition of love. One thing I learned in life according to my mentor Francis Kong, “PHILOSOPHY will affect the way you live.” WRONG PHILOSOPHY = WRONG LIVING RIGHT PHILOSOPHY = RIGHT LIVING What is your philosophy about love? Love is blind. Love is like a rosary full of mystery. Love is a feeling that you cannot explain until such time you personally feels it. In reality, if you build your relationship’s foundation with a wrong philosophy, you will end up with a wrong living. This is what I’ve learned from my 15 years of marriage. Love is not only about feelings or emotions, it must be based on decision, choice and commitment. That’s the reason why when we got married, the minister reminded us that no matter what happens; “For richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health; for better or for worst; till death do us part.” What does this mean? Even if you do not like what you are seeing and feeling, you just got to stick and work it out. True love must not be based on comfort or convenience, but it must be based on commitment and choice. If you only trust your feelings and emotions, there will be days that you will have enough of each other, and you can call it quits. That
TAN by CHINKEE
is the reason why we need to have a change of mind and heart; that we cannot base love on the wrong philosophy. We must base it on the right philosophy in order for us to have the right living. It is also why you can’t fall out of love. People can fall off buildings and into man holes; but not out of love. Love is a choice; to love the person no matter who they are or what they are. Love is a decision; to keep the promise you made no matter how tough the situation maybe. Love is a commitment; to work it out no matter what you are going through. Love needs hard work, patience and persistence.

When horror films collide IT’S one thing watching a serious Pinoy indie movie, it’s another if you go to a horror movie curious on whether Jodi Sta. Maria, Iza Calzado, Zanjoe Marudo and Joem Bascon can convincingly act horrifying. Or maybe they unintentionally turn horrific at all. When all the ladies beside you almost make your shirt torn every time a frightening scene steps into frame, then you can say that Maria Leonora Teresa can be pitted against Annabelle. There are considerable parallels in both movies – Maria Leonora Teresa is about a doll manipulated by a witch to wreak havoc on people
who have wronged him in some way. Meanwhile, Annabelle is a doll not being manipulated b y a witch but being
possessed by a demon. Based on halting and sketchy details of the plot (New Line Cinema is secretive about it and I have yet to see the movie with Irene Dayo or Kat Llagas or Genevieve Cantor or whichever

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18) - This is a good day for sharing friendship with pals and co-workers, Aquarius. People will be in a light, socializing mood and not much in a working frame of mind. There’s really no use fighting this energy. Enjoy yourself today and allow yourself to detach from work issues. You can all get back to the grindstone later. The work will still be there. PISCES (February 19 – March 20) - Your technical skills take a real leap forward today, Pisces. It seems all that training you’ve done is finally paying off. Your new skills will greatly increase your efficiency and enhance your marketability. If you’ve been thinking about applying for a new position, get your resume ready to send out when you see an appealing ad. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Don’t be surprised to see your co-workers acting a bit silly today, Aries. There is no getting around the high spirits that permeate the office environment. It’s almost impossible to get any work done with today’s planetary atmosphere. Rather than cracking the whip and trying to increase productivity, why not join in? Lighten up a little. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Life’s been a real social whirl lately, Taurus. You may feel a bit overwhelmed by all the people and parties. It’s fun to see everyone, but a bit daunting to renew ties with old friends and try to remember the names of new ones. Names and faces mingle to the point where you aren’t sure of your own name, much less anyone else’s.

Daily HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - You may discover an untapped talent today, Cancer. Perhaps there’s a new machine in the office and you’re the only one who can figure out how to use it. Maybe drafting a simple business proposal makes you realize how much you enjoy the writing process. This is a good day for any kind of creative endeavor, as well as for paperwork of all sorts. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - Expect some positive developments today that impact the whole family, Leo. Perhaps you or your mate will receive word of a significant raise or great job opportunity. Perhaps you meet the one who is right for you, and you know it the instant you shake hands. Whichever it is, don’t let the opportunity pass. If you don’t seize it, someone else surely will.
dolls. In their plot, there were three mothers whose daughters died and someone who introduced himself as a psycho-therapist gave the dolls modeled after the kids as a therapy tool. But the psycho-therapist turned out to be a mangkukulam and was manipulating the dolls to wreak terror into the bereaved mothers. I don’t know if this is a lame attempt to catapult Maria Leonora Teresa into a level beyond Annabelle but we’ll just have to wait for box office revenues to know that. It’s tricky to compare US domestic revenues between a Filipino film and a Hollywood one. Nobody

Special Gospel of the day: Luke10:19(October3, 2014-Friday) Luke 10:1-9-After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, the harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborers is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you: This gospel encourages us to pray

for more laborers in His “vineyard” to build the kingdom of God here on earth. This is the reason of God why He allowed calamity to happen due to scarcity of evangelizers. In Hebrews 12:25-see that ye refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that speaks on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaks] from heaven.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You should be feeling especially confident today, Virgo. You’ve been working especially hard lately, and the recognition you’ve received goes a long way toward reinforcing your feelings of self-worth. Your life goals suddenly seem more attainable and you’ll pursue them with renewed vigor. Your confidence is grounded in reality. You will surely succeed. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - This is a day made for fun and frivolity, Libra, not one in which you’re likely to get many of your chores done. Try as you might to focus on the task at hand, there are distractions everywhere you turn. Your email pals could be sending you jokes and notes, and your friends could be bugging you to join them for an outing of some sort. You may as well give in. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - You’re a person of many talents, and today you’re likely to discover yet another one, Scorpio. The delivery of a new piece of equipment makes you feel like you’ve been given a toy for your sole enjoyment. But once you get the computer or piece of machinery up and running, you need to share it with your co-workers! SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Don’t be surprised if people surround you today, each one anxious to confer with you. It seems that you’re the authority on all topics, Sagittarius. All the attention is flattering, but it makes it difficult to get any work done. Do what you can to help your co-workers, and then tell them that the help desk is closed for the day. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Don’t let yourself be manipulated by needy friends, Capricorn. With today’s planetary energies, it’s a good time to think about setting clear boundaries. You know which friends are there for you and lift you up and which ones tend to drain all your time and energy with the constant need for your immediate attention. Try saying no. You can’t fix other people’s lives for them anyway. Think about it.

Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro holds workplace visit Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor “Mr. Dante Sudaria is one of the very few people I know who is a visionary.” These impressive words by Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro president Luigi Sarraga highlighted the workplace visit of around 20 members of the club at the BWM Group of Publications office here in Abellanosa St., Cagayan de Oro City yesterday. According to Sarraga, workplace visits such as this one are routinary within outstanding members of the club which represent one sector. Dante Sudaria, founding publisher of the BWM Group which has four publications under its fold, represents the publishing sector of Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro. Sarraga said the club is tremendously grateful to Sudaria and the BWM Group for constantly publishing the projects of the club with far-reaching audiences – the

circulation of flagship Mindanao Daily alone reaches as far as Zamboanga, Caraga and Davao regions. For the past year, the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro has hosted several projects – the Inter-class Products, the New Generation Forum and the most recent Rotary Youth program where youth councilors were able to produce 43 resolutions submitted to adult city councilors for consideration. Aside from Mindanao Daily, the other publications under BWM Group are the tri-weekly BusinessWeek Mindanao, the weekender Mindanao Star and the weekly mag Cagayan Times. To cater to local audiences, there is a different front page edition of Mindanao Daily for each issue – one each for Northern Mindanao, Western Mindanao, Caraga and Davao.

Dodu Abrio and the Viajeros provide the entertainment.
Founded barely five years ago, the BWM Group has decided to clash head on with existing established local newspapers on its own with no outside investor. And this has impressed Sarraga even more. “Being a media investor myself in the past, I know how difficult it is to maintain even one baby newspaper. But Mr. Sudaria has not just one but four. Yet his goals are not just for self-profit, he also aims to promote civic consciousness among the public for instance, disseminating the projects of Rotarians. In this way, the readers will be encouraged more to contribute for the betterment of society,” Sarraga said. Sudaria also toured the Rotarians – which include business magnates Hong See (Ororama) and Danilo Camat (Robinsons) – to the facilities of BWM Group including the editorial room, the printing facility and
the administration office. At the lunch fellowship, the Rotarians were serenaded by world music band Dodu Abrio and the Viajeros. Mae Javier, a Rotarian from Camiguin who is promotions and marketing officer of Villa Paraiso Resort and Apartelle, presented her beach haven for Rotarians and Cagayanons to consider when visiting Camiguin. Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro has 69 members. It is the oldest Rotary club in Cagayan de Oro founded in 1948. Its next project is to host the Rotary International District 3870 Convention to be held in May 2015. A total of 700 delegates from 44 clubs in the district are expected to attend. “This will be a big boost to the economy and tourism of CDO,” Sarraga said.
