Popular article theme on Holloween and All Saints’ Day are anything and everything associated with ghosts, spiritism, communicating with the dead. So, this too, I have rewritten several times. Foremost among the questions is “Can the Living (Really) Communicate with the Dead?”

A similar article as the one published in MOD Filipina November 3, 1989 issue (posted above), and in Celebrity World November 7, 1994 issue titled “Ghosts, Communicating with the Dead, are They for Real?” The article, “Is it Possible to Communicate with the Dead?” on the other hand, was first published in Prime Weekly Edition November 10, 1988 issue.

 

 

Also in this Mr. & Ms. November 4, 1997 issue is one of the more difficult crossword puzzles that I have made.

 

“For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all..... Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.” – Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

           Ano niyo ba ang pagkakaiba ng “model,” “top model” at “supermodel?”

          Ang model ay isang taong gumaganap bilang isang “human props” para sa art, glamour, fashion, promotion, show, at iba pang katulad na layon sa printed advertising or public performance.

          Ang isang top model ay yaong nakagawa ng pangalan sa isa or dalawang paraan ng pagmomodelo.

          Ang supermodel naman ay isang may kakayahang gumanap sa halos lahat ng paraang ng pagmomodelo at maging tampok at bihasa sa mga ito. Karaniwang nagiging household name ang kanilang pangalan at nakalabas na sila sa dose-dosenang cover pages ng mga magazines at fashion catalogues.
