Are you a working woman, working in a corporate world..working in a jungle? Are you a prey or a predator? Becoming politically savvy is not always viewed as a wholesome, worthy goal. The mere mention of the word "politics" triggers negative connotations.A good friend of mine, an HR Director shared with us that she got frustrated after she was not promoted to VP-HR because a colleague was promoted

There were times when we wondered if we could make it today. Let us think of our accomplishments, many blessings and even the hardships that made us stronger and a better person. Let us go through this day with a smile in our face and a happy heart. Let us marvel with God’s seemingly small gifts, the sun, the trees, the birds and the flowers around us. Let us share our happiness in our hearts

My personal belief is that Soul Mates come in a variety of categories and all of us have soul mates. I've read this in the internet and it explains the different categories of soul mates: SOUL MATES are THE SPECIAL PEOPLE in our lives… People who we have shared previous lives with, who we have loved, and helped and strove towards understanding and bonding with. Soul mates are People who when we

I have read an article saying that there are lots of kinds of abuses - physical, emotional and financial. The most usual form is intimate-partner violence or abuse among married or unmarried couples. Among the cases, the most common is battery or pambubugbog. These abuses can result to low self-esteem. But even well-educated women are not exempted from violence. Most women are experiencing

I won't ever, ever forget Sept. 26, 2009. For 4 months I've been preparing a party for my husband's 40th birthday. We were so excited but the party never happened. When I switched on the TV, I was really sad when I saw my fellowmen lost their houses, cars and their loved ones. This was the worst flood, typhoon ever happened in Metro Manila since 1967.

The way you dress affects how others view you. It's nothing personal, just business.Many professional women are guilty of multiple fashion faux pas without realizing it, and their lack of judgment can sometimes lead to being passed over for a job or promotion.Dressing for success means business, not pleasure. 1.

DON'T splash perfume all over your clothes. It could stain the fabric.DO apply perfume lightly to the body's pulse points, wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears, at the temples, behind the knees, the back of the neck and cleavage area. One round application to all the pulse points will do. If you like a bit of dramatic flair, spray some into the air and walk through it to soak in your

Why then women should start taking control of their financial future?First, we can no longer depend on our parents, our man, our boss and our government. They simply may not be there at all times.
