Congratulations Ms. Shamcey Supsup for winning 3rd Place in the recent Ms. Universe 2011 beauty pageant. You have made us, Filipinos proud again. That's another big achievement for the Philippines. We are so proud of you.

Shamcey Supsup is not your ordinary next door girl. She was born on May 16, 1986 in Iligan City. But her family moved and lived in General Santos City. Amid her beauty lies a very intelligent woman who graduated as Salutatorian in Makati High School. A Magna Cum Laude graduate of Architecture in University of the Philippines and ranked no. 1 in Philippine Architectural Board Examination 2010.

This Question and Answer part, I know, will linger for a time in Filipino's mind. 

Question (American Actress Vivica Fox):

As a first time mom, it is difficult to leave my baby to my husband who oversees an internet shop. Second, it's Saturday, peak day where there'll be a lot of customers. Yet, he allowed me to go. It's 12 noon and I'm waiting for him to wake up until 2pm. I know, it'll be a tiring day, that's why I allow him to get more sleep. Besides, he sleeps very late at 4 - 5am especially if there's a broken computer that he needs to reformat.

While waiting, a staff nurse told me that I had a package in the cashier's office. Excited but, the cashier did not arrive yet, so I told her that I'll take a peak. It turned out, the package was on top of the cashier's table near the window with a big hole. I can't stop, so, I let my hand slide in and took the package. ehek! 

The mail came from Sakuraeya Club winnings in promoting Fan page in Facebook. Now, my little white dog has a friend. I put it, together with another cutie dog, on top of the computer monitor.

After that, a staff approached me and asked for my last name! I stand up and he told me that LBC van arrived and looking for Valenzuela. I used two last name and they didn't know that.

Here's what I got, LBC package from sis Eidra - Sansan Lipstick I won from her contest. Thank you so much.

I feel sleepy  watching the i-net shop while my son and husband have a mid-morning catch of sleep. So, I browse youtube for anime episodes and found "Ghost Hunt". This anime is not that scary and it got me glued on my seat. The main character is a paranormal researcher who is a poltergeist. A poltergeist is not a monster but a person who can move objects around him using the power of his mind. But that is not what I am going to share with you. It is the 4th to  a 6th episode that had moved me to tears. Yes, tears easily dropped into my cheeks while watching it.

The 4th to a 6th episode is the second file of Ghost hunt anime. The title of this episode is "Doll House" in which a little girl was talking to her doll. But then they find it weird when the little girl defends and listens to what her doll says. The thing is that the girl only hears what her doll says. The doll is own by a ghost-mom who haunts for her child. 

The ghost mom killed herself when she couldn't bear the thought of losing her one and only little daughter. Her daughter was either taken by a stranger or drowned near a river. 

In the end, Naru, the ghost hunter, decide to give back her little daughter by showing a script in a wood carved and formed like the little child. Then throw it upwards. And told her to get her daughter and leave the place.

Suddenly, the wood turned into a golden yellow of a child who giggles with arms spread running for her mother's hug.

When the ghost mom saw it, her face was changed from gloomy to a surprised mom longing for her child and spread her arms to catch her.

When the ghost touched her child, she was changed into a shining gold yellow that pertains to happiness and satisfaction; hug her child tightly and vanished. Then, the ghosts of little children she took were laughing all vanished.
