An idle mind is the Devil's workshop. Too much time in your hands may lead to either productive or sinful acts. From thoughts to words and actions is an easy step especially when tempting resources are lying all around. Thus the mind may initiate a dangerous undertaking that you'll only worry about your safety after you have either accomplished it already with flying colors or messed it up so badly.

Though its been around for ages, the saying still usually pertains to the possibilities of sinning when you have all the time in the world. It has a negative connotation, and is usually a reminder to those who might get tempted to go against what's morally upright.

I was able to come up with twenty five so far. No doubt its a long read but do tell me if any of the thoughts in my list are similar or somewhat near to what you're thinking.

Would you agree with me when I say this has got to be the "weakest" cover of Rogue Magazine for 2013?

Don't get me wrong. I love Andi Eigenmann, but the fact that this happens to be the year end issue, one could have hoped that it will end with a blast - a cover that will try to be toppled off by next year's cover.

But it seems like I may be asking for too much, or I'm just not aware of the "international" standards of sleek and sexy super model posing. I'm probably just way less smart and over nit-picky.

The cover shows a beautiful face but sort of a deformed weak and frail body. "Bakit parang kuba?" one may ask.

'Tis the season for Miley Cyrus to twerk Santa Claus and for everyone else to feel free to change their profile photos with the "unselfie", otherwise a certain Annebisyosa we can hide by the name of Anne Curtis might slap you and buy you, your friends, and Facebook too.

We normally rave or rant about movies like the Friday the 13th franchise, celebrities like Khloe Kardashian or Evangeline Lilly, politicos like Kim Jong Un or Barack Obama, and even as low as cursing irresponsible concert goers with a resounding "Puñeta!", but this time, as a convenience for Santa (we're applying as his helpful little elves), let's criticize bloggers who have been naughty and definitely not nice.

Their patay-gutom, token-loving, freeloading, sponsorship stealing, low readership, bad photograph, and pathetic grammar "blogs" days are numbered (but I think we are terribly outnumbered). Count on it. We're sick of a few rotten apples spoiling the collective reputation of a community of decent, committed, passionate bloggers whose sole intention is to simply share our honest experience with our readers.

The word's gone out. The evidence, recorded. Good riddance to their online stink bombs~ "Don't let the door hit you on your way out!"

Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, the humanitarian arm of CBN Asia, has now served over 116,000 survivors of super typhoon Yolanda in its continued relief and rehabilitation efforts, medical missions, trauma counseling and listening ministry.

Partnering with different local and international organizations, Operation Blessing has successfully reached survivors in the remotest areas severely battered by Yolanda.

“In Samar, we have partnered with the La Salle group of medical practitioners composed of 12 doctors and eight nurses and together we did a medical mission in several remote villages. We have also complemented the efforts of the Israeli team which is doing its medical mission in Tacloban. We have also partnered with the DSWD in providing counseling sessions to the survivors as they struggle with their difficult situations. Our partner churches in Manila help us out in sorting used clothes for efficient distribution to the typhoon survivors,” said Dr. Kim Pascual, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Operation Blessing.

Wazzup Pilipinas!Bloggers were invited last night at the My Little Bossings Bloggers' Night press conference held at Annabel's Restaurant located in Tomas Morato, Quezon City. This is my first time to attend the presscon done for the second time to highlight the offering of Vic Sotto's entry to the annual Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). They said there was also a presscon intended for the members of the tri-media (print, TV and radio) held a few days earlier.

It seems the blogging community has grown big, and several companies has recognized the significance and influence of bloggers that they organized a separate one for us. Though the line between the tri-media and the new media has grown so very thin, and many are contemplating that everything will eventually go online and with a few still on-air, the only media threatened is print.

Bloggers now gather to help disseminate and promote the Ryzza Mae Dizon and James Bimby Aquino-Yap movie. Yeah!, whether you agree or not, we can say they are the real stars of the movie, and with the adult stars as their supporting actors.

The deities of Philippine mythology are the gods, goddesses and diwatas worshiped by ancient Filipinos before the Christianization of the natives after the Spanish conquest of the Philippines. W

hile not as widely known as its European and Asian counterparts, they have similar elements and characteristics when compared to other mythologies.

Ancient Philippine mythology varies among the many indigenous tribes of the Philippines. During the pre-Spanish era, some tribes believed in a single supreme being who created the world and everything in it, along with lesser deities.

Others chose to worship a multitude of trees as an act of animism. Below are some of the gods and goddesses of the various ancient Philippine tribes:
