Janina almost answered the question in Filipino with long pauses in between. Aside from winning the Binibing Pilipinas 2008 - Miss World title, she also won two special awards in the Bb.

Sam Cassell is a Celtics

The Boston Celtics announced that they have inked Sam Cassell.

Cassell, a 6'3", 193 pound guard, is in his 15th season in the NBA. Cassell was averaging 12.8 points and 4.7 assists in 25.4 minutes per game this season for the Los Angeles Clippers in 38 games. The former All-Star has appeared in 115 career post-season games and has posted career averages of 13.6 points and 4.9 assists in his playoff career. Cassell has posted career averages of 15.9 points, 6.0 assists and 1.07 steals in 976 career games.

For Kevin Garnett's fans like me this is a big boost up for the line up. Imagine the Celtics first five Rondo, R. Allen, Pierce, KG and Perkins and now they have a solid 2nd unit to back them up Cassell, House, Posey, PJ Brown and Pollard. I just remembered the Minnesota Timberwolves last playoff days when KG, Cassell and Spree are part of the big three and they almost made it to the finals. Now that Cassell is part of the well beef up Celtics no one as is no one will stand on their way. Good luck LA Lakers, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons and Kings James Cleveland Cavaliers because Boston will prevail.

Female Prison Break Spin-Off

For my own point of view this should be the stupid move ever. Knowing that Prison Break is now getting low support from the fans. From the stellar first season of Prison Break now they make this kind of move common give us a real break.

Fox has ordered a script from Matt Olmstead and Zack Estrin (producers of PRISON BREAK) for a new spin-off featuring a female prison and a new central character named Molly who will be introduced later this year in the original show. The show is tentatively titled PRISON BREAK:CHERRY HILL, says the Hollywood Reporter. If the spin-off falls through, the Molly character will stay on board the first show as a regular character.

Molly is an upper middle class wife, she and her family is also a victim by the Company the government conspiracy that framed Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) and put them behind bars. She seeks them out at the Panamanian Prison known to us as the SONA in her quest to exact vengeance.

She will put in detention facility fully accepting the life sentence for her acts of revenge until she found out that her loved ones are still alive. Later she would be transformed from a unapologetic murderer to a motivated woman who would do anything to get out of prison just to be with them.

My lonely daughter

Since I'm back to work my daughter doesn't have the leisure to see me often instead she'll have to spend most of her time with her toys and her nanny. I felt guilty for the lack of time to spend with her. My baby is now 1 year and 7 months old. She now knows how to be left alone without her daddy and mommy.

As of late my daughter is sleeping beyond the usual time of sleep. She's beginning to lay down in bed at 10 pm or sometimes 12 midnight. One thing I've noticed is that she wants some quality time (bonding time) with us her parents by means of playing, book reading and even chatting things (although I cannot understand her words). Last night she don't want to sleep although she's very sleepy she just resisting it so, I told her mom to lay down and pretend to sleep and I sing her a song that she used to hear when she was younger and I touch her hair while singing the song and suddenly she smiles back and said DAD then she closed her eyes but she still goes to her mom and lay down beside her.

I has touched by my daughter when she smiles back and sad the word DAD in a very angelic voice. I just miss those times when I'm with her most of the time. Now I know that I need to spend more of my time with her when I'm at home. I Love my daughter so much.

The 90/10 Principle

Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life

(at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean?

We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Yourdaughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.

She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave
immediately for work.

You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and

throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is " D".

You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rushupstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.

Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off)

Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

It CAN change your life!!!
