Updates to this post:You may also check out this raffle contest in the FilipinaImages. This raffle is extended to until January 18. The winners will be announced on January 20.
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.
It has a goal planner, to help you achieve your short and long term goals. It also has a vacation planner, to help you one step at a time, make your dream vacation come true! Every month comes with budget and credit card expenses table to keep track of your expenses. It also has a mentrual tracker, which helps you manage your pre-mentrual syndrome (PMS) and determine the consistency of your monthly cycle. And what’s more, it has a lot of promo coupons, I personally love the free Sonja’s cupcake for the month of July! This planner by the way, costs about 500+ pesos in bookstores.
So how can you win this fab planner? Here’s how:
1. You must be a Filipina blogger residing in the Philippines. (for easier shipping and so you can enjoy the promo coupons)
2. You must create a post in your blog about how you as a Filipina, have improved in the past year and your plans for continuous improvement for 2008.
3. Leave a comment here with the link to your post.
This contest is open from today, Jan 6 till Tuesday, Jan 8. We will announce the winner on January 10. We will also be raffling two 200-peso worth of Delifrance Gift Certificates as consolation prizes. So hurry and create your posts now!
Filipinas, let us continue making waves this 2008!

wow! what a nice way, not only to promote the contest, but the Filipina as well. You know what? FilipinaImages.com has been awarded by WikiPilipinas as one of the 4 Newsmakers of 2007 in Website Category.
I invite you and your readers, who will join the contest, to send their entries to us at FilipinaImages.com.
Also, to raise the “Filipina” further on top of google ranking, it would be good if everytime the word “Filipina” is used, you can link it with any of the top filipina sites, like FilipinaImages.com or PinoyMomsNetwork, or any of your favorite sites (you can link it to your site, too, as it promotes the Filipina).
In this post alone, when you started your sentence with “We FIlipinas have…”, you can already link the word “Filipina”.
Thanks so much dear for your good endeavor. Happy New Year to you and your family, and may your new year be blessed with lots of love, hope and peace.

Hi Dine, thanks for your support on this little project of mine. I meant to post this entry in the Filipina Images but the problem is I always forget my password. I’ll extend the contest and I’ll post this in the FilipinaImages site. Thanks also for your suggestion, just wait for the updates for this post! Happy New Year!

Oh! I am surprised! As I was reading your very inspiring post and pointing the cursor on the links, and I saw my name in one of the highlighted Filipina words.
Thank you Leah, from the bottom of my tickled pink and humbled heart.
This is very much in tune to the links I have saved a while ago because I plan to finally write my Filipina article.
Mabuhay tayong mga Filipina!
Better late then never, wishing you and your family the best in 2008!

Hi again! I have received the BDJ Planner and I was so hapy because it’s so kikay hahaha!!! It’s pink and colorful and very useful. I actually have a 2008 planner already but gave it away so I can use this one from you. Thank you so much sis! I would post pics with the planer when I attended an international symposium last week.
God bless!
