Wazzup Pilipinas!

RHEA was the Titanis mother of the gods, and a goddess of female fertility, motherhood, and generation. Her name means "flow" and "ease."

As the wife of Kronos (Time), she represented the eternal flow of time and generations; as the great Mother (Meter Megale), the "flow" was menstrual blood, birth waters, and milk. She was also a goddess of ease, a blessing reflected in the common Homeric phrase "the gods who live at their ease (rhea)."

In myth, Rhea was the wife of the Titan Kronos and Queen of heaven. When her husband heard a prophecy that he would be deposed by one of his children, he took to swallowing each of them as soon as they were born.

Hades, who is Hades? He was the King of the Underworld, the god of death and the dead. He presided over funeral rites and defended the right of the dead to due burial.

Hades was also the god of the hidden wealth of the Earth, from the fertile soil with nourished the seed-grain, to the mined wealth of gold, silver and other metals. He is the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, and therefore from the first generation of Olympian Gods. He is the son of Cronus and Rhea his brothers are Zeus and Poseidon.

They all drew lots to determine which part of the world they would rule. Zeus get the sky and Poseidon received the sea. And Hades was left with the underworld.

The Top 10 Requests of Bloggers (and Everyone Else in Media)

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Quickly.... from whatever comes to mind first...I search the inner recesses of my brains ....trying to tap my memories and experiences when I attend events meant for bloggers and/or members of tri-media.

The complaints, rants, and requests are all the same. Whether for print, TV, radio, or online media. There is nothing separating them anymore (OK... may be there's a fine line between tri-media and online media). We are now talking of the same people, with same goals and needs - to cover the news and share it with the world - but to get something in return. After all, being a member of the media is extremely hard work and we also have bills to pay.

Whether you want to admit it or not, each one of us wants to be rewarded or compensated for our efforts. "Hindi naman pwedeng palaging TY at libre na lang ate".

Media people (online or offline) all deserve and expect respect. They are not here to become charitable institutions. It's work for most of them. It's nice when you are acknowledged for being supportive, but it's awesome if you get to enjoy some blessings.


Here are some of the requests we hear that we hope the establishments will grant to our vigilant media men.
