Dressing up nicely and going to the prom is something many of us remember for a lifetime. I think there are few moments I remember as well as my high school prom. The beautiful dress, the expectations, and an unforgettable night with all of my friends and classmates before we graduated and went our separate ways was magic.
When Asey’s high school announced that they would finally push through with their junior-senior prom she became very excited. But when the school required ball gowns, she feared that her parents could not afford one.
Then her brother decided to step in. He didn’t want his sister to miss the prom so he sewed her a wonderful dress. The love and support between siblings can take many forms. For example, helping each other with homework, preparing your sibling a nice meal, or just giving a hug.
But Maverick from the Philippines took it to another level. He has a very special bond with his sister Asey and didn’t want to see her sad. He was not going to let her miss the prom that she had been dreaming about for so long time. So he took matters into his own hands and decided to create his own ball gown for his beloved sister.
Maverick only had a few days to make his creation, so he started to browse Google and YouTube to get inspiration for his dress. He especially liked the world-renowned Filipino designer Michael Cinco and took inspiration from him. Maverick started cutting the fabric and creating patterns. He made crisscross patterns with white satin ribbon and embellished this part with plastic flowers, clear crystal beads, and sequins. It was a lot of work, and Maverick didn’t have much time. But he kept on working hard, and he even hand-painted the corset.
To get the same ombré effect the designer Michael Cinco has on his dresses, Maverick added sleeves on his creation. Thankfully, Maverick was able to finish the dress in time. Here is the result – a fantastic blue and white ball gown with criss-cross ribbon details, a hand-painted corset, and a magical skirt with flowers. “I’ve done my part very well as your supportive kuya (big brother), and I won’t get tired of supporting you. That’s my promise. I hope I made you happy this Valentine’s Day,” Maverick said on his Facebook post dedicated to his sister. The dress is absolutely stunning, no wonder the pictures have gone viral. I can’t imagine his sister’s face when she saw her beautiful dress! She must be so proud of her brother.
After wooing Julia Roberts with three dozen roses and hundreds of faxes, Matthew Perry spent a few months in a love bubble with one of Hollywood’s hottest stars.
Persuading her to appear as Chandler Bing’s love interest in a 1996 episode of Friends, the couple shared a palpable chemistry that “seemed to seep off televisions.”
But Perry, who was struggling with his insecurities and addictions, said she was “slumming it” with him, and anticipating the “inevitable agony of losing her,” he dumped her.
Breaking her heart one last time, Perry died on October 28, which was also Roberts 56th birthday.
Following the heartbreaking death of Matthew Perry, sales of his book, “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing” have seen a massive spike.
Fans are curious to know more about the beloved star, best known as Chandler Bing on Friends, who was found dead in the jacuzzi of his Los Angeles home.
In his vulnerable memoir, Perry candidly details his relationship with drugs and alcohol, along with the various celebrities he dated over the years.
One of those celebrities is superstar Julia Roberts, whom he shared a 90s romance.
Describing the height of their relationship in 1995, Perry writes, “She was the biggest movie star in the world, and I was on the number one show on TV.”
According to his book, Perry and the Pretty Woman star met when Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman asked him to woo her, with flowers and a card, hoping she’d be on an episode of the show.
“(Roberts) would only do the show if she could be in my story line,” Perry writes. “Was I having a good year or what? But first, I had to woo her.”
Perry accepted the challenge of courting the star of My Best Friend’s Wedding, pleading her to join the cast of Friends for one episode in season two.
He explains in his book that he sent three dozen red roses and a card that read “the only thing more exciting than the prospect of you doing the show is that I finally have an excuse to send you flowers.”
Roberts agreed to be on the 1996 post-Super Bowl episode, but the wooing did not stop there.
“Thus began a three-month-long courtship by daily faxes. This was pre-internet, pre-cell phones – all our exchanges were done by fax. And there were many; hundreds,” Matthew writes in his book. “Three or four times a day I would sit by my fax machine and watch the piece of paper slowly revealing her next missive. It was like she was placed on this planet to make the world smile, and now, in particular, me.”
A couple months into their relationship, Roberts appeared on the episode, “The One After the Super Bowl: Part 2.” The Erin Brockovich star played Susie Moss, who was heavily teased by Chandler as a child.
Roberts admitted that she was “nervous” before filming her guest role on the show she called “clever.”
“It was utterly nerve-racking,” the Steel Magnolias actress said about sharing the screen with the stars she frequently watched. “They’ve brought me a lot of joy in my life. You feel a little giddy you feel a little silly. But it was the most fun, it was spectacular fun.”
Meanwhile, Perry expressed his excitement by saying, She’s an amazing person. She’s everything every guy thinks she is.”
In the fan favorite episode, the pair begins seeing one another, and before Susie gets her revenge on her childhood nemesis, the couple shared an on-screen kiss.
“Our kiss on the couch was so real people thought it was real. It was,” Perry says of their intimate moment on the couch in the iconic Central Perk. “She was wonderful on the show, and our chemistry seemed to seep off televisions all across America.”
During their brief romance, the couple even celebrated New Year’s Eve at Roberts’ family home in New Mexico.
Slumming it
In this time, the 17 Again star describes his drug and alcohol-induced experiences, like a near-death experience in 2018, a coloscopy bag, temporary erectile dysfunction, and being taken to rehab immediately after he married Monica (Courteney Cox) on Friends.
He also suggests his substance abuse is what led to his breakup with the Oscar-winning actor only two months later.
“Dating Julia Roberts had been too much for me. I had been constantly certain that she was going to break up with me. Why would she not?” Perry writes, adding he felt she was “slumming it” with him. “I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unloveable. So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts.”
On October 28, the comedic genius died and broke the hearts of millions across the world. One of those hearts belonged to the beautiful Roberts.
The Ocean’s Eleven star, who shares three children with her husband of 21 years, celebrated her 56th birthday that same day.
And though the notoriously private Roberts was reportedly “embarrassed and disappointed that Matthew has detailed their fling,” in his book, she is surely feeling the heartbreak of losing him again.
Before Perry was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi, he played pickleball for two hours before returning home. He then sent his assistant out on an errand and when she returned, she found him.
Early reports suggest there were no drugs found at the scene of Perry’s death, nor did authorities suspect foul play.
Law enforcement sources have now also told TMZ that investigators ran a test on Perry that revealed he did not have fentanyl or meth in his system at the time of his passing.
More tests will be done to determine the exact cause of his death.
News of his death is still so sad! It’s hard to believe Matthew Perry is really gone. Hollywood lost one of its brightest stars.
At the same time, we wish Julia Roberts a happy late birthday. We suspect it was a difficult one and we wish her, along with other friends and family, the very best in this time of grieving.

After being arrested for giving birth to a heroin-addicted baby, an Alabama woman is under arrest again after authorities discovered she was pregnant a second time.

Only a few weeks shy from turning 14, Daniel Joseph Fitzpatrick did something drastic that would forever alter the lives of those around him. He killed himself.
It was his sister, 17-year-old Kristen, who found him. He was hanging by his own belt. Parents Maureen and Daniel Sr. , were naturally overwhelmed with grief and misery. Nevertheless, they wanted to share this story. Turns out, young Daniel was constantly harassed, and this was apparently the only way he felt he could escape the pain.
The multiple pages of his suicide note would indeed answer questions regarding his harassment. Here’s part of the note the parents wanted to share:“… Anthony took it all out on me. He bullied me along with John, Marco, Jose, and Jack they did it constantly until I went into a fight with Anthony everyone stopped except John he was angry… I ended up fighting John and got a fractured pinkie.” Also known as Danny, he wrote how he was teased due to his weight, grades, and lack of supposed toughness compared to others. “I gave up. The teachers either didn’t do ANYTHING.”
Here’s Daniel’s dad on why he wanted to get this note out there:
“My son’s story is now out there for the world to see and for the world to know the pain that he went through. No child should have to go through what my son went through.”
His father continues on how poorly the school handled the situation:
“All I got was and all HE got was, ‘He’ll be fine. Is he in counselling? You have to try harder, Danny. These things will pass”
And for the parents of the bullying boys? The father doesn’t spare them either:
“You get to hold your children every night and every day for the rest of your lives and their natural lives. I don’t get that anymore. Your little monsters took that from me. And my wife. And his sisters. Danny was a kind, gentle little soul.
He didn’t have a mean bone in his body… I just want to hear him say, ‘good morning, dad’ one more time and that way I could tell him ‘good morning’ and ‘I love you,’ which I did every every day.”
Hopefully the publishing of Daniel’s letter will bring attention to this serious problem of bullying and how it can have dire results when kids feel they have no other way out. They feel the only way to escape the torment is taking their own lives.

Doctors were shocked to see a baby born with a full head of gray hair.
A little boy was born with white hair in a hospital in Szekesfehervar. His nickname is Prince Charming and he is not albino. His gray hair can disappear in a couple of years, origo.hu wrote.
The white hair is not a sign of illness or prenatal stress – doctor Zoltan Kummer told origo.hu. According to him, Bence is not an albino, since in this case melanin pigment would be missing from his skin and his iris as well.
It is rather a local and likely a temporary pigment shortage, the hair of the boy might get darker in a couple of years.
However, the milky white hair is special; the nurses working in the maternity ward have not seen this before. The baby got the Prince Charming nickname.
Bence is an average baby: he was born with a body weight of 5400 g and a height of 54 cm, at the expected time. The little boy is healthy in every way, he underwent the routine tests, too. His blood sample will be examined in Budapest because of the special pigment shortage.
Bence’s mother cannot relax due to the stress of the pregnancy, have a college exam, and going to school while also works.
