“Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Motivational Speaker Maggie De la Riva,

Magazine Publisher Sari Yap,
Actresses Angel Jacob and Jackie Aquino,
Educator and author Nina Lim Yuson, (My brother Ted's former boss)
Lawyer and TV personality Gaby Roldan Concepcion,
and 30 other women.
The book entitled: Age of Confidence was launched last May 29th, 2008 at the Ballroom of Manila Peninsula.
Although I was unable to attend the formal event,
My mugshot was there:
Cathy wrote about it here.
Pictures of the affair are posted
