She replied, "The full length." Needled further on where she expected their dates would lead to, Lee answered, "The altar." She added, "I'm praying for this." Aquino celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, Feb.8, the same day Lee said they were destined for the altar.

Sen. Miriam Santiago speaking before the 17th Philippine Society of Hypertension convention gave some love advice to President Noynoy Aquino who recently admitted he was dating DJ Grace Lee and did some of her famous pick-up lines. She said, "I hope he makes a good choice if he is choosing at his age. He should be choosing for a potential mate unless he is resigned to be a bachelor forever then I will advise him that it is a life of complete misery."

Here are some of her Valentine's Day pick-up lines. She also said, "Sometimes lawyers ar...

From InterAksyon MANILA, Philippines – As the 52-year-old bachelor President spent his birthday in earthquake-ravaged areas in the south, Grace Lee had a simple wish for the man she has been dating: may he continue loving his country. She also had a candid admission: though they are not yet officially a couple, he makes her happy when they are together.
