If there’s anyone who has fulfilled every little girl’s fantasy, it has to be Angel Locsin. She already donned wings and taken flight, saved the world as an invincible super heroine, learned horseback riding from a pro, swam as a mermaid, and now, she’s busy being an enchanting sorceress!

In Majika, Angel is Sabina, an ordinary girl on a magical quest to find her missing family. With the help of Eloida (Jean Garcia), a female Salamangka (wizard) who adopts and trains her, Sabina discovers later on that she is meant for a greater purpose, and that she’s not that ordinary after all.

And even though it has been months since the last episode aired, she continues to be proud of her role as Mars Ravelo’s Darna.

Angel admits that there are definitely a lot of perks as an actress. She cites advantages such as having financial stability, being able to help out with family expenses, meeting different kinds of people and learning from them, and of course, the occasional privileges like getting discounts from restaurants. But Angel says that she doesn’t let them get to her head.

Aside from TV and movie appearances, Angel has also endorsed quite a number of products, all of which she claims to be using.

Among Angel’s top beauty picks are Avon cosmetics and Eskinol to remove her makeup.

Although it seems like Angel has already done everything (even having her own real-life prince charming), this girl still has a lot under her sleeve. So what exactly does she want to do next?

Danaya is a character from the Filipino fantasy television series Encantadia and Etheria produced by GMA Network. Danaya is the one of the four elemental Sang'gres and is the keeper of the Jewel of Earth. She later became the queen of Lireo.

The name Danaya may be a play on "Diana", which is the name of both the actress who originated the role as well as the goddess of the hunt in Roman myth, Diana, who is similarly associated with wild animals and forests.

Coronation

After Lira chose the path of love, thereby going back to the land of the mortals to be with Anthony, she renounced the throne and let her mother and three other Ashtis (aunt) to decide who would be the next matriarch of Encantadia. The Sang'gres and Lira all looked at Pirena who just smiled and said, "I once ruled, but the outcome was unpleasant." Then, asked Imaw who would rule next. He replied, "If Pirena refuses, Alena will be made queen." With this, Ybarro disagreed and contradicted the statement by Imaw, stating that she cannot be the Queen of Lireo because he will make her the Queen of Sapiro. And he proceeded to ask her hand by then. Lastly, the only viable choice for the title was Sang'gre Danaya, who by the way, lost Aquil in the battle against the Hathors. At first she doubted her capabilities as a queen, but with Pirena's blessing, she was encouraged and agreed to be Amihan's successor, becoming the Queen of Lireo. In Etheria, she will lead the other three sang'gres in battle against their new enemies - the three Etherians who came out of the portal in Episode 138. During the last war of Encantadia, she faces her gabay-diwa, Sari-a at the Lirean front. She gained the jewel of earth back as Amihan had killed Ether and Sari-a apologized to her panginoon (Lord in Filipino) because of what she had done to Encantadia. In a few years, she renounced her throne to Lireo to Cassandra and reunites with Aquil, her love and her daughter.

I guess it was like a shoe in or inevitable that Fergie was most likely to have her own record... I mean she's hot, she's so ready, that soaring voice, and with abs like that??...she could never go wrong!

 

I saw her video, London Bridge on MTV's TRL, i was like so excited and giddy that she's giving the rest of the hot femmes of music a run for their money.. It was such a kickass video, moves were sexy and smooth, and Buckingham Palace as the locale was genius!

 

Wonder what the Royal Family thought about the racy yet genius video..Hmm, i know Harry and William loved it..

Imagine a parallel or alternate universe where the Mona Lisa doesn't exist!..... Cold wind blows and shivers run down your spine...What would the world be like? I'll tell you cuz i love y'all!

The world will be in pink because in this reality we have the Mona Paris Hilton!! and the plot thickens!! LOL...

 

What would Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code be like? Is the secret code that which cracks Lindsay Lohan's voicemail or Blackberry ?

 

Now let's go the movie, will it be about two "skanky" wannabe icons badmouthing each other and chase scenes all around Milan, Paris, Tokyo, & New York for the hottest chic pair of stilletos? The stalker in Ms. Lohan's life would be Silas, the color challenged Paris fanatic, who dons a  very tight corset as a reminder of his greater purpose---- to bring hell as close as possible to poor lil Lindsay?..... I mean go figure!?!!

This is what i call the The Paris Yin Yang,Peace, & Wheel of Love..... groovy y'all or sumthin'..  Yeah, some of ya might grimace or think, "is E-man mental?" Now before you guys make any sick conclusion, hear me out first beautiful peeps...ayt? I just thought if i'd have the usual Yin/Yang and Peace sign then it wouldn't catch much attention and raised eyebrows?.. I mean no disrespect to the original signs or symbols but i figured everyone can relate to Paris especially us Pariscoholics, pretty lame term i coined up but it serves its purpose i think..e.g. obssessed fans/fanatics/zealots of Ms. Hilton.

War has raged again in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. I'm glad ceasefire was declared cuz we all know there was so much destruction, lives lost, demolished/destroyed infrastructures or heritage sites, and jobs lost. I speak not only for the OFWs but for the Lebanese people as well that WAR IS NEVER THE ANSWER. I'd rather think RESPECT, UNDERSTANDING, and SELFLESS LOVE not tolerance, personal glory , or some political agenda should bear more weight in a country's/nation's foundation. I could be wrong but isn't CO-EXISTENCE the key to the world's strife and bigotry, am i right or what?

It's not how long several different races lived in one area of the world but how we treat each other well and respect each one's culture, faith, and belief. But we should also remember that if one's freedom crosses the line to another's  freedom to express that person's identity then there's no license killing or destroying each other.

 

Respect for life is vital in peacekeeping efforts because it emphasizes a human being deserves to live in this world. No one can choose to eradicate a certain faction or minority because they supposedly impede some things or agendas they have in mind. Peace begins in our hearts, in our families, and in our communities.
