Well, lo and behold! (Probably) got the answer I needed. Not surprisingly though, as mama also mentioned that she had a first cousin who 'stopped' at age 38.

One of the PTA's major projects spearheaded by the Ways and Means Committee for this school year is a raffle draw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our batch took the task of donating a laptop intended as 1st prize for the SSAM-PTA grand raffle draw on December 8, 2007 to raise funds to partially finance the construction of the propsed swimming pool. The grand prize is a brand new 1.3 Toyota Avanza.  Major prizes include the laptop computer (which we will purchase), scooter, iPod, digital camera, cell phones and gift certificates worth p1000 each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The construction of the pool is estimated to cost P3.2M, exclusive of the filter, shower/locker rooms, etc.  &lt;em&gt;Hukay at lagay pa lang ng tiles yun&lt;/em&gt;.  Ella hoped whatever help our batch can extend to the construction of the pool will be an inspiration for other batches to help, too.  As early as September, our batch will be placed as a sponsor in streamers set by the school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The raffle draw will benefit a lot of people - students, faculty and even the community.  Aside from helping finance the construction of the swimming pool, proceeds from the raffle will also be used to assist in the Faculty Development Program (we provide partial financial assistance to the tuition fees of SSAM teachers taking up Masteral Programs); in the Grant-in-Aid (for students who are unable to pay their tuition fees, we also partially help them pay their balances so they can continue studying in SSAM).  Proceeds will also be used to increase the bereavement/calamity assistance for students and faculty.  And for the community, the PTA will donate to Gawad Kalinga (they build homes for the homeless). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The laptop will cost around p60,000.  There are cheaper ones available but since the laptop is intended to be the 1st prize, kaya ganun and price ng bibilhin natin. Specs will be 512 MB, 80 GB HD, wi-fi, 14"WXGA, processor is centrino cor duo 2, CD/DVD writer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You can bring your contributions to the clinic Ella and Dr Joy  share. This is across Concepcion Church, atop Dunkin Donut (i-Cure clinic).  She's  there every tues-thurs-sat 2 to 4 pm.  Or you can contact her at 09178124792, 9410675 (home), 9981416/9988020 (clinics) for queries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ella would  like to thank Dr. Joy Alcazar-Rivera and Czarina Abasolo for responding early to her appeal. Also to Blen, June, Monet, Nad for coordinating the solicitation and pledges in the US, as well as Gemma, JJ Sales and Rechel Grantusa for your pledges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;**more updates to come&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17914294-7321990488805122526?l=lakulasa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/feeds/7321990488805122526/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17914294&amp;postID=7321990488805122526&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/7321990488805122526'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/7321990488805122526'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/2007/08/ssam-swimming-pool.html' title='SSAM Swimming Pool'/><author><name>Reia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07908141165315773461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YtweNDEn7Gc/TDx8Weo1cZI/AAAAAAAAAvw/aLv_psdvdwU/S220/t128.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17914294.post-4449274649108542057</id><published>2007-08-11T14:13:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-10T02:19:07.571+08:00</updated><title type='text'>A little humor here... thanks, Apen!</title><content type='html'>We've been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that Igave him a second look.  I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast,really fast. Cute &lt;em&gt;pala siya&lt;/em&gt;. And then, he came over with me. He said, "I hope you don't mine. Can I get your number?" &lt;em&gt;Nag-worry ako.&lt;/em&gt; What if he doesn't give it back? He explained &lt;em&gt;naman na&lt;/em&gt; it's so we could keep intact daw. &lt;em&gt;Sabi ko&lt;/em&gt;, "Connect me if i'm wrong but are you asking me ouch?" "The!?!!??". .. ang sarcastic &lt;em&gt;nang sagot nya. Aba&lt;/em&gt;! The verb! &lt;em&gt;Parang siya pa ang galit&lt;/em&gt;! Persona ingrata!!! &lt;em&gt;Ang kapal niya! &lt;/em&gt;I cried buckles of tears. &lt;em&gt;Na&lt;/em&gt;-guilty &lt;em&gt;yata siya&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na&lt;/em&gt; this is a blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we should go ouch na rin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now,we're so in love. Mute and epidemic &lt;em&gt;na ang&lt;/em&gt; past. Thanks God we swallowed our fried. &lt;em&gt;Kasi&lt;/em&gt;, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time.After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. "Will you marriage me?" I'm in a state of shocked. &lt;em&gt;Kasi mantakin&lt;/em&gt; mo, when it rains, it's four! This is true good to be true. &lt;em&gt;So siyempre&lt;/em&gt;, I said yes. Love is a many splendor. &lt;em&gt;Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, &lt;/em&gt;everything swell to pieces.&lt;em&gt;Nag-di&lt;/em&gt;-dinner &lt;em&gt;kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming&lt;/em&gt; table, &lt;em&gt;may babaeng humirit ng&lt;/em&gt;, "Well, well, well. Look do we have here." What the fuss! The nerd &lt;em&gt;ng babaeng yon&lt;/em&gt;! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. As is!!! I don't want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the marines! I told her, "please, mine you own business!" Who would believe her anyway?&lt;em&gt;Dahil&lt;/em&gt; it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, &lt;em&gt;tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo&lt;/em&gt;. Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even myboyfriend said like twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's so supportive. &lt;em&gt;Sabi niya&lt;/em&gt;, "Look at is thisway.

Three construction workers were on top of their half-finished skyscraper. Rrrrring!! The lunch bell sounded, and the three men sat on a steel beam jutting out of the 56th floor with their lunch boxes in hand. The first guy opens his and groans in exasperation, "Tuyo! There is not a day that I don't get tuyo for lunch!" He turns to his buddies and announces, "Mark my words, if I still get tuyo tomorrow, I'm going to throw myself from this building!" The second guy opens his lunch box and moans, "Tinapa... Everyday, I get tinapa!" He looks at his friends and declares, "Believe me when I say this: If I get tinapa tomorrow, I'm going to jump and kill l myself!" The third guy opens his lunch box and it was his turn to despair. "Galunggong! All I get is galunggong! I'm telling you, if I still get galunggong tomorrow, I'm going to jump from this building and die!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day, the lunch bell rings and all three men are again seated on the 56th floor. The first guy opens his lunch box and starts crying, "Tuyoooooo!" And so he jumps and crashes on the ground. The second guy opens his lunch box and wails loudly, "Tinapaaaa!" And he also hurls himself off the building and dies. The third guy opens his lunch box and screams, "Galunggonggggg!" And so, he too jumps off the building and splatters on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Days later, during the funeral of the three men, their three wives embrace and weep together. The first wife cries out, "I didn't know my husband didn't like tuyo anymore! Why didn't he tell me? If only he told me, I would have prepared something else." The second wife echoes her statement, "Yes... If only I knew, I would have cooked something else, not tinapa!" The third wife, between sobs, speaks up, "I don't know why my husband killed himself..." The two wives look at her curiously. "Why?" She went on, "Because my husband prepares his own lunch everyday..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love this crazy story because it presents a very important truth: all of us prepare our own lunch. If we don't like our jobs, if we don't like the state of our relationships, if we don't like what's happening to our spiritual lives - we have no one to blame but ourselves. Because God has given us free will. He has given us the power to prepare our own lunch. If you want to earn more and be free from debt, if you're sick and tired of your bad habits, if we want to put more joy in our marriages, if we want to grow in our relationship with God - then go back to your kitchen and prepare yourself another dish. Because you design your own future. You create your own destiny. Ask yourself what kind of future do you want to have? What kind of life? What kind of eternity? You decide. - Bo Sanchez&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have decided. And I'm working on it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17914294-7043358379052397587?l=lakulasa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/feeds/7043358379052397587/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17914294&amp;postID=7043358379052397587&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/7043358379052397587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/7043358379052397587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/2007/07/tuyo-tinapa-and-galunggong.html' title='Tuyo, Tinapa and Galunggong'/><author><name>Reia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07908141165315773461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YtweNDEn7Gc/TDx8Weo1cZI/AAAAAAAAAvw/aLv_psdvdwU/S220/t128.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17914294.post-114273434017650149</id><published>2006-03-19T09:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-03-19T10:12:28.433+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Art Exhibit</title><content type='html'>Once again, our very own &lt;strong&gt;Rosario "Chie" "Chayong" Cruz&lt;/strong&gt; will be having a group art exhibit at the &lt;strong&gt;SM Megamall Renaissance Gallery&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;March 24&lt;/strong&gt;, (6pm) up to &lt;strong&gt;March 31&lt;/strong&gt;.

Indeed, something we Kulasas should be proud of!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fabulous Filipinas.net&lt;/strong&gt; strives to showcase the best of who filipinas are on the Internet. This web site has been created in order to bring about a bigger picture of who Filipinas are by bringing together a webring of quality web sites and web pages that Filipinas have created on the Internet. Whether you are a Filipina web publisher who has made sites for companies or organizations or whether you have created web pages for personal expression or social interaction we want you to be part of this webring. There is a need to interlink with as many other Filipina sites and also to use the devices of the Internet such as search engines to achieve online a higher quality and more complete picture of who Filipinas are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is there even a need to do such a thing?&lt;/strong&gt; Since 1995 to today there is a narrow representation of Filipinas on the Internet. When doing a search on "Filipina" at search engines, mostly mail-order-bride sites and porn sites come up. So-called mail-order-brides and other women looking for matches via correspondence compose only a small percentage of what Filipinas really do with their lives. Most Filipinas who get online are not content with this kind of representation of their country and their selves. This web site would like to provide some tools to help widen and do justice to Filipinas' online identity and to bust a cyberspace myth or profitable stereotyping coming from numerous commericial online services about Filipina mail-order-brides, sex-tour-bar-girls, and as porn models.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We now officially display the &lt;strong&gt;Fabulous Filipina&lt;/strong&gt; banner on La Kulasa.

I am not sure what age level this book is intended for, but based on the drawings, you decide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I am not sure if I would show this book to my 7-year old.  Maybe I am not sure if I can answer other questions that would come up.  Is this the trend nowadays? What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.planetdan.net/pics/babies/index.htm"&gt;http://www.planetdan.net/pics/babies/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17914294-113343493472182248?l=lakulasa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/feeds/113343493472182248/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17914294&amp;postID=113343493472182248&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/113343493472182248'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/113343493472182248'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/2005/12/scary-book.html' title='Scary(?) book'/><author><name>Reia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07908141165315773461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YtweNDEn7Gc/TDx8Weo1cZI/AAAAAAAAAvw/aLv_psdvdwU/S220/t128.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17914294.post-113267612229081763</id><published>2005-11-23T00:04:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-23T00:15:22.346+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Java Girl</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6924/1013/1600/josie%20and%20family.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6924/1013/320/josie%20and%20family.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the group, Apen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Josefina Juban-Valmonte&lt;/strong&gt; recently joined in!

Stay at the Baiyoke Sky hotel and wake up or retire to bed each day seeing the great view of the city from the tallest hotel in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Indulge yourself in a glorious Thai massage and feel like a princess while soaking in warm water mixed with aromatic oils and rose petals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Eat at the Sidewalk eatery and feast on bowls of Tom Yam soup, grilled prawns, hot, white Thai rice and sautéed Morning Glory greens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/374/1637/1600/Bfamily_withcub.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/374/1637/320/Bfamily_withcub.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Nurse a 3-month old Bengal tiger cub&lt;/strong&gt; with an infant’s bottle filled with milk, run your hand through its glorious gold and black fur and feel the cute animal purr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Go on a night cruise on board the Chao Phraya Princess and feel the cool Thai evening air in your face as the 350-ton vessel glides through the calm waters of the Chaophraya River, and along the famous Bangkok landmarks such as the temple of the Emerald Buddha, Rama 8 Architecture Bridge, Temple of Dawn, and the Grand Palace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Shop till 11pm or until your feet hurts and your hands feel strained from carrying all those plastic bags of excellent finds from the Night market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/374/1637/1600/Bsafari1.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/374/1637/320/Bsafari1.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;strong&gt;Take a safari tour&lt;/strong&gt; while in the comfort (and safety) of an air-conditioned, double-deck bus and watch various animals live harmoniously and share the same pile of fresh grass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Be awed and mesmerized by the countless exquisite jewelry on display and for sale at the Gems Gallery. Don’t forget to ogle at the display cabinet that has a gleaming, 100-carat blue Topaz the size of a block of butter!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/374/1637/1600/Bstandingbuddha2.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/374/1637/320/Bstandingbuddha2.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;9. &lt;strong&gt;Take lots of photos of the temples and pagoda architecture&lt;/strong&gt; that dot the city and strain your neck while looking up at the tallest standing buddha covered in glass mosaic and gold-leaf as it glistens in the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Feel the rush as the speedboat zooms and weaves it way through the water canals to take you to the Floating market and give you a glimpse of the everyday life of the people who live along these waterways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Watch the Elephant show and witness a traditional Thai wedding and Thai boxing in the Rose Garden while being cooled by giant fans that spew cold mists of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Ride the Tuk-tuk at 50kph through the city’s busy streets and let you hair blow in the wind while you tightly grip the stainless handles and anchor your feet on the metal front to keep yourself steady during those fast and tight turns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Buy yourself a glorious Thai silk wrap skirt in gold and your favorite color and feel like royalty when you wrap yourself in the rich and intricately woven fabric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Start the day with a more than hearty breakfast at the 76th – 78th floor of the Baiyoke Sky hotel while the early morning sunshine greets you and warms your face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Be thrilled by clever sea lions, dolphins, beluga whales, parrots and parakeets at the Safari World them park and be impressed by their intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. Get to ride the elephant or have your photo taken while you sit at his lap and feel his giant ear flap in your face while you squeal with delight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17.

For those of you who knew... hope you like the 'minor' enhancements. I've added a &lt;a href="http://www.tag-board.com/"&gt;tag-board &lt;/a&gt;for those instant hi's and hello's and announcements. Also, there are now links to individual photo albums. I am still in the process of digging up previous shared photos in our group! So, do give me till next week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now in the process of doing a "HELP ME" link for simple tutorials or 'how-tos' with regard to posting, adding pictures and links, as well as suggesting websites to visit. Btw, thanks, Therie for all the suggestions. I tried tweaking the background color but it doesn't help. (?!?!) I've placed a little color there via the &lt;a href="http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php"&gt;TickerFactory&lt;/a&gt; where we'll see a countdown to our (ahem) Silver Anniversary!!!! (I placed the date tentatively Feb. 2010) so, I hope it livens up the blog. :-)  I've also 'tampered' with the email subscription option, so those of you who would want to receive blog updates via email, by all means, do subscribe!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17914294-113056337606227733?l=lakulasa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/feeds/113056337606227733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17914294&amp;postID=113056337606227733&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/113056337606227733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/113056337606227733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/2005/10/almost-done.html' title='Almost done!'/><author><name>Reia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07908141165315773461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YtweNDEn7Gc/TDx8Weo1cZI/AAAAAAAAAvw/aLv_psdvdwU/S220/t128.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17914294.post-112948444793288643</id><published>2005-10-17T01:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-28T03:03:24.760+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ora et Labora.</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Ora et Labora.&lt;br /&gt;St. Scholastica's Academy, Marikina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;High School 1985.

We are very active in our Yahoo Group. We exchange stories. We share pictures. We catch up on each other's lives. We laughed and cried. We are each others' support group, inspiration and most of all, family. As the years go by, only one thing is certain... we are growing old together, and our stories, pictures, and lives get buried under tons and tons of messages in our Yahoo Group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog will serve as our time capsule, our archive of events, lives and everything else. We would share our triumphs. We would share our joys, and even tears. We will contribute whatever we can and set the trend in making this medium a worthy endeavor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are proud to be Scholasticans.

I would like everyone to contribute anything under the sun here.... your day at work, your kids, achievements, etc. etc. etc. This is intended to complement our Yahoo Group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Blog, as you see, is temporarily titled&lt;strong&gt; "La Kulasa"&lt;/strong&gt; and the description is temporary as well, as I just had to get it up. Any suggestions specially with the title and description is most welcome! I will also be incorporating a batch photo album (still looking for a good one) so as to also have a permanent file of all shared photos (and not getting lost under millions of messages, or lack of storage space in our yahoo group's album) with a permanent sub-album for each of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also several online woman's organization in the net which I recommend  our batch to be part of. These organizations recognizes women from all walks of life who does her part (as an individual or group) in contributing anything be it in work, extra-curricular, family, education, etc. like Therie's scholarship project, or Mam Jinky's walk for cause, among others, or your kid's achievement in school, a promotion or a recent vacation trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a website or a blog too, let's place a link here. I am using a blog template and am still tweaking it up, doing several changes, add-ons, and face-lifts, as I only have limited html know-how. I had sent invitations to most of batch whose listed in the members' list and emails I have. If I missed anyone who would like to contribute once in a while, do let me know.

It's just like that. Well... maybe we could do away with those crushes or infatuations, don't you think? But on second thought, why not? It's a free world! and besides, we are a unique breed, this batch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First things first...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onclick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)';this.setHomePage('http://lakulasa.blogspot.com');" href="#"&gt;Make LA KULASA your homepage!&lt;/a&gt; so when you can immediately see if there are new entries added. If you have our SSAM85 Yahoo Group as a homepage already, you can instead subscribe to &lt;strong&gt;La Kulasa&lt;/strong&gt; (just enter your email add in the form found at the sidebar) so new blog entries will be delivered to your inbox! For this to be a success, don't hesitate to comment on any entry contributed by a batchmate. This would definitely show support to the person, and of course, to &lt;strong&gt;La Kulasa&lt;/strong&gt;. The tagboard is a place for quick hellos as well as announcements. By all means, tag! :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for being a part of La Kulasa. This 'Read Me' post will help us who are quite unfamiliar with this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Posting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you can compose emails, then you can post! Log-in to &lt;a href="http://blogger.com"&gt;http://blogger.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Enter your username and password (if you still don't have a blogger account, let me know)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on 'New Post' adjacent to the 'La Kulasa' blog title.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Begin posting. You'll notice that the format is similar with most 'compose email' boxes, like Yahoo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To &lt;strong&gt;insert a photo, &lt;/strong&gt;just look for and click on that little blue box icon right beside the 'abc' spelling check icon. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To &lt;strong&gt;insert a link &lt;/strong&gt;in your post (&lt;em&gt;link &lt;/em&gt;meaning, a clickable text or phrase that takes you to a separate page or website for additional info when you click on it) Highlight the word or phrase within your sentence. Click on the 'chain' icon just beside the 'T' or text color icon. This will open a small window where you have to type in the address (starting with http:// ) where the link is supposed to take you. For example: I visit&lt;a href="http://lakulasa.blogspot.com"&gt; La Kulasa&lt;/a&gt;. When you click on that &lt;em&gt;'La Kulasa'&lt;/em&gt; link, it will take you to the main page of this blog. So, the address I placed is &lt;a href="http://lakulasa.blogspot.com"&gt;http://lakulasa.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**&lt;/strong&gt; I'd like to recommend that we limit the photos up to 5 maximum and just point to the address of the album where it can be found. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Photo Album&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To add a new album, &lt;/strong&gt;click on the &lt;em&gt;'Family Pics'&lt;/em&gt; link found in the sidebar under 'Photo Albums'. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on &lt;em&gt;Sign In&lt;/em&gt; found at the upper lefthand corner. Enter blogname as username and password. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on the &lt;em&gt;'Upload Photo'&lt;/em&gt; icon. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Under &lt;em&gt;'Album Type'&lt;/em&gt; choose create new album and provide your name (if it's a personal album) or the occassion or event under&lt;em&gt; 'Album Details/Subject'&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Upload your photos and click OK. You will then see all uploaded pictures. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take note of the URL address of your album (&lt;strong&gt;http://lakulasa.multiply.com/photos/album&lt;/strong&gt;/&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;# of your album&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After uploading, just click on the red &lt;em&gt;'edit album'&lt;/em&gt; box (lower left) and &lt;em&gt;'set cover photo' . &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;That's it!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you'd like &lt;strong&gt;to add new pictures&lt;/strong&gt; to an existing album, click on that album and follow the same steps (#s 2-5) Just choose the name of the existing album where you want to add a new photo. We can add 150 photos/mo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;** enter blogname2 as username and password  (Reunions, atbp)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adding Links &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have your own blog or website, let's link to it! The link will be placed in La Kulasa's side bar under a specific category for everyone to see and visit. Just tag it on our board! or post an entry!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17914294-113033530232353187?l=lakulasa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/feeds/113033530232353187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17914294&amp;postID=113033530232353187&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/113033530232353187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17914294/posts/default/113033530232353187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lakulasa.blogspot.com/2005/10/read-me.html' title='READ ME'/><author><name>Reia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07908141165315773461</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YtweNDEn7Gc/TDx8Weo1cZI/AAAAAAAAAvw/aLv_psdvdwU/S220/t128.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
