Hi everyone! Happy New Year!

We Filipinas have achieved a lot the past year. A lot of Filipinas have started blogging and we are damn proud of it. 2007 also gave birth to the FilipinaImages project, this project aims to re-launch how people around the world look at Filipinas, we Filipinas are not about mail-order brides or online-porn stuff. We Filipinas are powerful women, we are loving mothers, we are sexy and smart, nature-loving, adventurous… the list of wonderful attributes is never-ending.
Also this year, Dine’s blog won 2nd place in the Influential Emerging Blog of 2007
And just recently, there’s Charice Pempengco making waves not only in South East Asia but in the US as well. These are just some of the good things that happened this year. Let us pray of more good things to come this 2008.

To make things more exciting, Cuatro Cantos will be raffling out a Belle de Jour Power Planner. This power planner is the ultimate power planner for the Filipina, it comes in a very chic design, black cover with stylish image. Read more…

A Testimonial about the Power of Prayer and God’s Love – Part 1

How I prayed for my husband

I remember how as a young girl, I would wish on a star that someday I may meet the man of my dreams, my prince charming. And of all the good characteristics that I could wish my prince to have, only 2 things mattered; that he is handsome and kind-hearted.
