Everyone has a job to do - by Stormie Omartian

It doesn't matter if you are a stay-at-home mom, a full time student, A CEO of a giant corporation, a single woman who is self-supporting, a married woman running a home, a skilled career woman, a disabled person, a baby-sitter, a house sitter, a single woking mom, or a volunteer at the rescue mission downtown- you have work to do. It doesn't matter if your work is recognized by the whole world or only God sees it. It doesn't matter if you are getting paid big bucks or receiving no financial compensation whatsoever. Your work is valuable. And you want it to be blessed by GOD.
�
Whatever work we do, we want to do it well and be successful. When our work is good, it gives us fulfillment. When we accomplish something worthwhile that makes life better for ether people, our families, or ourselves, it gives is satisfaction. But when work of our hands is not blessed, we are weighed down with frustration and unfulfillment.
The ideal woman describes in the bible is a hard worker ( proverbs 31). She buys and sells property ( a real state agent?). She plants a vineyard ( a landscaper?). She makes clothing ( a designer?). And she sells it ( manager of a clothing store?). She's a woman of strength, energy , and vision who worls hard into the night and knows that what she has to offer is good. God wants us to experience that kind of success and satisfaction. BUt it doesn't happen without prayer.
�
Prayer helps us to find �the balance between being "greedy for grain," which depletes our life ( proverbs 1:19), and having a "slack hand," which makes us poor ( proverbs 10:4). Prayer helps us to not "overwork to be rich" ( proverbs 23:4-5) �yet still be diligent in our work, which may ultimately bring us monetary rewards ( proverbs 10:4). Prayer helps us finds the balance between laziness and obsession, between gaining the whole world and losing our own soul ( Matthew 16:26)
�
The bible says that " the laborer is worthy of his wages" (1 Timothy 5:18). This means you deserve to be paid or rewarded for your work. Sometimes the reward is i the actual doing of it itself. You don't get paid for maintaining a home, serving soup at the rescue mission, or teaching a child to tie his shoes, but your reward for seeing the result of your labor is priceless."The labor of the righteous leads to life" ( proverbs 10:16)
�
If you have a paying job, don't hesitate to pray that you will be compensated fairly and generously. Pray for your employer to be blessed in his business so he in turn can afford to pay all employees well. Pray that your work is recognized and appreciated by others. Pray to receive promotions and advancement in line with God's will. Say, "Lord, I would like to have that promotion and that raise if it's Your will for my life." As you pray that way and commit your work to the Lord, He will bless it.
�
No matter what your paycheck reflects, your work is important to God, it's important to other, and it's important to you. You can't afford not to pray about it. Commit your work your work to the Lord and ask HIM to bless it.

Thoughts Worth Thinking

2011-01-23T19:18:00.000+08:00

Love is the greatest gift we can ever hope to give or receive. Love is the one thing that can overcome so many of the difficult times that we are faced with in life. Love is so powerful - it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the most broken heart (of course, that doesn't mean rushing into new relationships). It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world into the most beautiful portrait we could ever have the pleasure to behold.

Such a monumental task - of course... it could be. But only if we try to do it alone. Instead, if each of us, in our own small way contributed just a little - together, the task can become the reality we're reaching for.

As potent as what love can be, it can only work it's magic if we choose to allow it to, if we can differentiate LOVE from LUST. For that to come to pass we must let go of the other emotions that can get in love's way. How is that - you may wonder?

Consider...

Anger - One thing I've been totally judged for. It's normal, but holding on to it indefinitely isn't really necessary. Let it go... Forgiveness is so much better for the soul than holding on to a grudge. Not only will the person you're angry at be happier but so will you. I had to realize that the hard way...the most painful way imaginable...
Harshness - Harsh words take just as much effort and energy as kind ones do. Why not consider your choice of words before you speak them and choose gentler ones to get your point across?
Impatience - Aren't we all guilty of this at one time or another?

Envy - We all know the saying here - "The grass is not always greener on the other side". Take that to heart and concentrate on "fertilizing" and "watering" your own to get it just as "green" as your neighbors' "lawn". You may wind up being the one envied instead. (Well...not in my case. Hahahaha.)

Mistakes - We all make them! So when someone else does, forgive them as you hope others would do for you. Allow them to be "only human" and consider the fact that they didn't mean any harm by it. Did you, when you made one?

Revenge - Someone always gets hurt by this one - and not always the one you expect to... Why take that risk?
Expectations - Set them low enough that they are achievable - not so high that you fail to reach them. No one wants to feel like a failure - neither you or the other person. If you don't expect too much you will not be disappointed.
Perfection - We weren't born perfect, it's not something that can be learned, so why not accept the fact that it doesn't exist. So many of us would breathe easier if this concept would just fade away. I would, wouldn't you?

Happy 2011!!!

Some are vibrant, admired for their

strength, while others are delicate

whispers of color whose gentleness

has a special place in our hearts.
We meet so many different kinds

of friends in the garden of life,
and I'm so grateful for the

My fam and I had a lip smacking dinner at Pho Hoa last Saturday. 'Twas my brother's treat. Okay, so while we were looking for a table, we spotted Marco Sison, and surprisingly, he was with my Ninong Nonoy. Well of course, he doesn't recognize me anymore coz we haven't seen each other for like ages, but he knows my dad...So there...I came up to him to "bless" but instead, he was the one who took my hand and "bless." Haha!

We took the table beside them, and as we all settled down, the exchange of conversation started flowing. We just talked about their new show, Win na Win, the adjustments and all, and some other showbiz stuff.... Hahaha! 'Twas a hell lot of fun...I mean to know these kinds of things behind the cam... It was sorta interesting... Teehee...

Moving forward, while I was enjoying eating what I ordered, which was buttered prawns and beef with rice (I actually forgot what it's called...but it's something akin to that...haha!), Marco was surreptitiously watching me from his seat adjacent to mine. He was like leering at me and then he went, "Natutuwa ako sayo, ang lakas mo kumain pero ang payat mo. Namimiss ko lang yung appetite ko na ganyan... Di na kse pwede ngayon eh.......Wag mo ko pansinin, ganito lang talaga ko....kain ka lang..." Blah..blah..blah... I got a li'l conscious there coz he was really just watching me eat. LOL! As soon as I was done with my food, he then muttered, "baka gusto mo pa ng extra rice..." And I was like, "why not... hahaha!" Well actually, I just finished the noodles of my brother coz it was sayang eh... hahaha! Then, I moved on to my dessert after.... As usual, still hearing those side comments of him... Hahaha! All I can say is that, Tito Marco is sucha nifty man just like my Ninong Nonoy... They are, without a doubt, good looking individuals!!! Not to mention, I love the sense of humor!

Anyway, funny how my dad and Ninong talked about their childhood days. How they used to be when they were teenagers.... Just harking back to the old times...

So there... so many stories so little time.... but I know that we will still see each other again... ABS is just a stone-throw away... hahahaha!

Goodbye. Besos. Exchange of numbers. Then, off we goooo....Great night that was!

Three Men and a Lady

With Ninong Nonoy Zu�iga and Marco Sison

(my mom took this shot....shaky hands...hahaha!)

THEN and NOW

After nth years....we finally met!

I was so happy coz he still remembered that picture.

He asked me if I still have the picture where he was carrying me; and he was happily surprised when I said that it's still in my album...

It's when you don't know where you stand in a person's life

It's when you're hanging in dead air and knowing you can be thrown off anytime

It's when you're like more than friends but not really, and

It's like you're lovers when it's really otherwise

Sometimes you would want to wish to have never met the person at all, but at the back of your mind, you're thankful that you have.

People will, consciously or not, steal your self-confidence. �When it comes to believing yourself, put your eye on the mark and don't blink. �If you have a goal, a dream, or an aspiration . . . believe in yourself while you are on the way to your destination, and you will have already arrived.

Throughout life, people will try to shake your faith in yourself. �When this happens, remind yourself that the only way they can succeed is if you allow it. �When you walk down the street of life, always hold your head high and keep walking. �Don't ever let anyone shake your faith in yourself, because that's really all that you have.

A li'l something from Bo Sanchez to all MEN

2010-08-20T16:19:00.000+08:00

One of the rules of friendly dating...

For men only: �Let me talk to you heart-to-heart. �Don't be romantic. �Don't express your feelings of love. �Never give false expectations and false hopes at this stage. �Never play with the heart of a woman. �Never, never, never. �I've seen some guys who like treating women extra-special, saying stuff like, "I really like you," and "I feel very happy when I'm with you." �But they have no intention of pursuing her. �These guys are sick. �I am so tempted to strangle them till they turn blue and promise never to do this again.

Purposeful courtship.
Men, if you've made a choice, you declare your intentions up front.
You don't let the girl guess.
You avoid playing with a woman's heart, giving mixed signals. �I've received hundreds of letters from single women asking me, "Bo, I have this friend and I like him a lot, and I think he likes me too. �He sends me text messages like 'You're special to me.' and 'You look beautiful today,' but that's about it. �I don't know if he's courting me or he's just a really close buddy..."
Guys, don't do this.
Have some BACKBONE. Commit! Declare your pursuit.
Pick one woman you'd like to get to know, and tell her outright.
And if you're not choosing her, don't raise her hopes by being romantic.
That's cruel.

P.S.
Share this to all the men out there.

I also write my bittersweet thoughts or how my day went...stuff like that... it just feels good after....you know, releasing everything through writing... well aside from blogging them of course... I just have a lot of things going through my mind. haha!

It's also nice when you get to track down everything that is going on with you every single day...

I also love notebooks. I dunno, whenever I find a notebook that is really cute, I will buy it, but I never really get to consume the entirety of it. I mean, I would just doodle in the first few pages then right after that, I will get sawa na. I already have 3 notebooks with me....haha! Well, maybe I just have a fetish for 'em...

But okay, I will start filling them all up with...well...hmmm... quotes.. what else? Teehee.

Today was nothing special. It was just one of those fine days. Since there wasn't that much work load, my officemates and I went cam-whoring...This is just to kill time aaand boredom most especially! haha!

2009-10-11T13:30:00.000+08:00

Hey there guys and gals!:) HUWAAAW! I really have missed bloggin'! I am too busy twittering I already forgot how to blog. hahaha! Well, it's just that I can like easily express random thoughts through twitter. I dunno... It really amazes me how I always become updated mostly about anything that is happening world wide because of the people I follow, and vice versa.
I have met new friends online just because we all share same interests. Isn't that amazing?:) Ha!

But anyway, this entry might seem like such a bore when you read it for I really have no story to tell, I mean certain story...ya know what I mean? That's why my title is Randomness.. LOL!

Anyway, I just wanna let y'all know that life has been great these days. I hope everything's goin' smoothly with you guys as well.

Just to bring you wonderful people up to date, especially for all those who are not on Twitter...haha... Well, right now, I am just getting so obssesed with books! I mean, I am really really crazy about it like my day won't be complete without it. Hell YEAH!:) This year, I have read the most number of books. I myself got so dumbfounded coz before, I really could not even read a book that is as thick as a bible... but thanks to Twilight Saga...It started all there! Hahahaha!! Imagine, I have read a book with 700 plus pages! And that was the book of Michael Jackson entitled, Michael Jackson, The Magic and The Madness...(okay, wait, my dog is sitting on my lap right now and he really is seriously watching me type.. haha.. oh so cute!)
Okay, going back... so yeah, the book of MJ....his life is really interesting. Why don't you guys take a glimpse of it? So you'd know what I mean. Well, I just love him! By the way, don't forget to watch his THIS IS IT movie! You guys are LOSERS if you don't watch it! LMAO!

Anyway, so much about MJ....so... where was I? Oh yeah, books... so there...okay, I am currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife, which is a really really must-read book. This is a my-love-for-you-is-incomparable-that-no-matter-where-you-are-I-will-still-be-here-waiting-for-you-and-I-will-truly-love-you-for-the-rest-of-my-life kind of book. Definitely a page-turner! Done with the first half...So, guess I better get goin and continue my reading....

I told ya, this entry is kinda lame! Hahaha! But thanks for taking your time reading it. Hehe! Gaaaahhh...I still have 5 books in line though...Moonwalker-MJ's Autobiography, Sister's Keepers, Michael Jackson-Unmasked, Be Careful What You Wish For, & (you won't believe this), Breaking Dawn... hahahaha!!!

I actually got bored reading Eclipse. I am thinking of re-reading the whole thing again before I start reading Breaking Dawn....Hmmmm.... Oh well, need to finish the others first....I better read FAST! I mean real real fast!

Toodles!:)

P.S. If you guys have a book to recommend, please let me know, okay?:) I would very much appreciate it.

I MISS YOU THE KING OF POP! Salute to Michael Jackson.

2009-07-13T14:12:00.005+08:00

I'm back to blogging once again. Never had the chance to blog lately coz I'm pretty much busy updating my Twitter account. I update that more now, I mean like every single day or every time when I just feel like I have or rather need to express something.

Anyway, as y'all can see my title, it's still and obviously about MJ. I know it's crazy, weird, whatever you want to call it, but the incident that just happened really affects me so much and I don't effing know why! I've never felt like this to anyone else before but him. When I was a kid, yeah, I idolized him - his music, his dance steps. In fact, I'd sing them, and I'd dance with the beat, and I kinda imitated his moves. But the likeness that I had for him before was pretty much on the average level only; not to the point wherein I'd be like so interested in his life, and be so attached to his music, music vids, guest appearances, etc..................until now. I've never really known him, aside from his, again, music, robotic dance steps and of course, for his famous moonwalk. I mean, I have never gotten to know him.....the person that he truly was, coz I neither watched his interviews nor read anything about him. (These past few days I watched some of his videos for the first time and I was really in awe!)
K. before, there were times I'd see him on the news, that was when he was accused of child molestation, which I don't think he was guilty of. Well, at least Jackson was cleared of all the charges by a jury in 2005.

Another thing was when he built his 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch, which was, by the way, already sold for $37 million to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company headed by Thomas Barrack. It's a joint venture between MJ and a division of Colony Capital - owner of numerous Las Vegas properties. He "had" to sell it for him to be able to pay his debts. Michael hasn't lived at the Neverland ranch since June 2005, when he moved to Bahrain. And as quoted, "An insider tells the publication, "Michael has always said that after the sheriffs raided his bedroom he felt his personal space had been invaded and tainted, and that he would never return there." "

Other than his works, fantastic moves, and music, these are the only things that remind me of him. Not to mention his major transformation. Okay, I am guilty of making not-so-good comments about his surgery, in short, I judged him. And now, after watching all those interviews of him especially in Oprah; the tributes they made for him; after watching everything....I got to know him a little...and I must say that he really is a NICE man. Very gentle, kind, generous, understanding, funny. He's just sweet. That's why I now admire and appreciate him even more. I just hope that his Neverland will stay as it is. He worked so hard for that...Neverland came from his sweat and blood.... and it was built for the kids too.
Anyway, I hope his body will be buried in his ranch...

REST IN PEACE, MICHAEL!:(

I would like to THANK YOU for inspiring us all with your music. You will surely be missed. Your songs will always live on. You will always and forever be in our hearts.

"Always imitated but never duplicated." You are truly a legend, MJ and you will always be the one and only

KING OF POP!

My prayers and condolences to the family of Michael.

HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE FOREVER!
*tears*

Take a tour to his Neverland

6. Men are like..Commercials..You can't believe a word they say..

7. Men are like Department Stores..Their clothes are

always 1/2 off!..

8. Men are like..Government Bonds..They take soooooooo long

to mature..

9. Men are like..Mascara. They usually run at the first sign

10. Men are like Popcorn..They satisfy you, but only for

a little while..

11. Men are like Snowstorms..You never know when they're coming,

how any inches you'll get or how long it will last..

12. Men are like..Lava Lamps..Fun to look at, but not very bright..

13. Men are like Parking Lots. All the good ones are taken,

the rest are handicapped..

I Kissed Dating Goodbye

2009-02-22T18:24:00.000+08:00

Dating, is generally characterized by a culture that focuses on romance and the feeling of love. Unfortunately, it creates an environment that tends to fail at building strong relationships because it often skips the friendship stage of a relationship, prematurely moving into a romantic and often physical relationship. Furthermore, because the focus is on the couple rather than on building a solid relationship, dating tends to cause couples, teenagers especially, to spend all their time together. They neglect their other relationships and the responsibility they have to be preparing to succeed in life. Additionally, because the culture equates love with a physical relationship, dating easily leads to neglecting the purity that God desires. Since dating focuses on romance without first creating a foundation of friendship and commitment,Josh Harris advocates not dating. Instead, he suggests that unmarried men and women should concentrate on loving each other as brothers or sisters in Christ. After they have built friendships with the opposite sex and are willing to consider a lifetime commitment, then they can begin being romantic, although always saving physical pleasure (such as kissing) until for marriage.

The problem is ultimately caused by our culture's mistaken view of what love is. Our culture views love as primarily a feeling, as something that it is not controllable, and that it is primarily to satisfy ourselves. Thus we talk about "falling" in love (although never about falling out of love) and give the line "if you really loved me you'd sleep with me" (only probably not so bluntly). By contrast, God's view is just the opposite. Christ did not feel like going to the cross to pay for our sin--witness his prayer in Gethsemane--but he did so by a conscious choice and because he loved us. True love is not self-centered and is a commitment that we are in control of.

The solution to a dating culture that is misdirected towards sensuality is not abandoning dating so much as it is pursuing relationships with godly values. The first of those values that Josh discusses is timing, or rather, delayed gratitude. We want a relationship right now, but we should not rush into something if God is not ready for us too. Josh does not spend much time speculating on the reasons God may have, but simply observes that He asks us to trust him. He cites a study of four-year olds, who were given the choice of one marshmallow now, or two when the researcher returns to the room. The children who waited ended up more successful later on in life than those who did not. Likewise, we should trust God to return with His best when He is ready.

Next Josh talks about purity. There is a tendency among Christians to view purity as a line that can't be crossed, but in reality, purity is a lifestyle, or as Josh says, a direction. First of all it requires a respect for physical intimacy. Physical intimacy can be wonderful, but without the commitment of marriage it is not only forbidden, but also harmful, because you are sharing yourself at a level that will be harmful to your relationship with the person you eventually do marry. Furthermore, physical intimacy is designed to progress to intercourse, so it is dangerous to try prevent this by setting an artificial limit. Better to simply save the pleasures of physical intimacy (even kissing) for marriage. Second, purity requires setting standards too high, not just barely high enough. Third, purity is concerned with protecting the purity of others. Here Josh has some specific guidelines. Guys should be honest with gals, not flirting or leading them on, because gals' sinful struggles tend to be related to their emotions. Likewise, because guys' sin tends to be in the area of lust, gals can help protect their Christian brothers' purity by dressing modestly.

The pursuit of a godly lifestyle can be aided in several ways in addition to a concern for purity in relationships. Most important is to change what needs to be changed in your current relationships, if they are not leading in the direction of purity. This may mean breaking up or keeping a budding romance at the friendship level because one or both of you are not committed enough to each other for intimacy, or because the relationship is simply just a physical one. We are immersed in a culture that is always urging us away from godly lifestyles. We may need to examine what we are listening to: television shows, movies, songs, friends, etc., and stop spending time in situations that tempt us to be dissatisfied with what God has given us, or that promote an ungodly lifestyle.

"The joy of intimacy is the reward of commitment."

"Recreational romance" enjoys intimacy without any commitment, so when we leave, we hurt the other person.

"Proverbs 3:3 states, 'Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.' God wants love and faithfulness to be connected. In His plan, the personal benefits of an intimate relationship--emotional or sexual--are always closely linked to self-sacrificial love and commitment to another person's long-term good. The way of sin is to divorce the two."

"And I think that's the story of our generation's pursuit of fulfillment in relationships. We wished for intimacy without obligation. We wished for sex with no strings attached. We wished for the pleasure of love with none of the work, none of the vows, none of the sacrifice. And we got it. But the results aren't what we hoped for. And we're left feeling emptier than before."

God's view of love:

"True love is selfless." Christ gave his life for us.

It is not a feeling--Christ "clearly didn't feel like enduring the beatings, hanging on the cross, and enduring God's wrath for sin."

"Love is under our control" Christ chose to love us. "We cannot justify doing what we know is wrong by saying that love grabbed hold of us and 'made' us behave irresponsibly. That's not love. Instead it's what the Bible calls in 1 Thessalonians 4:5 'passionate lust.'"
Love must be sincere, not trying to get something for yourself.

* "Many of us have fallen prey to the idea that we can and should pursue romance for its own sake. In other words, 'I'll become intimate with you because it feels good, not because I'm prayerfully considering marriage.' This attitude is not fair to the other person and is terrible preparation for marriage. Who wants to marry someone who will ditch a relationship the moment romantic feelings wane? Who wants to marry a person who has developed a habit of breaking up and finding someone new when the going gets tough?"

* "The right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing." William J. Bennett: "Too often, people want what they want (or what they think they want, which is usually "happiness" in one form or another) right now. The irony of their impatience is that only by learning to wait, and by a willingness to accept the bad with the good, do we usually attain things that are worthwhile."

** Tells about a study where 4 year old were given one marshmallow now or two in a little bit if they don't eat the one now. The ones who didn't eat it were generally more successful in the future. Similarly, do we trust God to give us two marshmallows later?

** Purity is not just a line that can't be crossed (e.g. kissing, or sex), but a outlook on life.

** "Respect the deep significance of physical intimacy" Physical intimacy brings feelings that tend to want to go further down the path.

** "Set your standards too high." Billy Graham is honored even by non-Christians because he set high standards, apparently unlike many other evangelists who have been taken down by scandals.

** "Make the purity of others a priority"
- Guys struggle more with sex drives and gals with emotions. Guys need to be honest with gals and not flirt or lead them on. Gals should pay attention to what they wear.

If you're mad with someone, and nobody's there to fix the situation..

You fix it .
Maybe today, that person still wants to be your friend

And if u don't,
Tomorrow can be too late..

If you're in love with somebody, but that person doesn't know...

tell her/him.
Maybe today, that person is also in love with you..
And if you don't say it,
Tomorrow can be too late..

If you really want to kiss somebody...kiss her/him..
Maybe that person wants a kiss from you, too..

And if you don't kiss her/him today,
Tomorrow can be too late..

If you still love a person that you think has forgetten you..

tell her/him.
Maybe that person have always loved you..

And if you don't tell her/him today..
Tomorrow can be too late..

If you need a hug of a friend...

ask her/him for it..
Maybe they need it more than you do..

And if you don't ask for it today..
Tomorrow can be too late.

If you really have friends who you appreciate...

tell them..
Maybe they appreciate you as well..

That if you don't and they leave or go far away today..

Tomorrow can be too late..

How to maintain a Friendship

2009-02-12T13:45:00.001+08:00

1. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN GIVE TO A FRIEND, NOT

WHAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF A FRIENDSHIP.

- If being happy is your only motive for wanting someone to be

your friend, then you are not being a real friend. Don't get

caught up in keeping tabs on who has given most in the friendship.

Give to your friends regardless of how much they give to you.

2. ENCOURAGE YOUR FRIEND.

- Real friends inspire and push each other to be the best that they

can be, rather than drag each other down. They are happy

when other people achieve their goals.

3. BE WILLING TO FORGIVE.

- Don't let hurt turn to grudge. This is one sure way to destroy

a friendship. Forgive your friend and move on. (I just did... and I'm really hoping that things will be back just as they were before).

4. TACTFULLY POINT OUT THEIR MISTAKES.

- This is one way to show concern for others. If you really care,

you will tactfully point out a specific example for his own good.

But once you've brought the problem to your friend's

attention, don't harp on it all the time. Don't walk away from

a friendship when you see some of your friend's faults. Be

patient with a friend as he or she tries to change. Realize that

nobody is perfect. (I am Miss Patient as what what most of my friends would calll me..I always open up things when something bothers me)

5. BE RELIABLE.

- When you say you are going to be there, be there. (always)

6. DON'T TRY TO CONTROL YOUR FRIENDS.

- Real friendship does not mean you always have to be together.

It may be tempting to have a fun person all to yourself, and

feel threatened when your friend spends time with others.

If you are afraid to let your friends out of your sight, you are

probably afraid of losing them. Good friendship will endure

time spent apart. You and your friends may learn to appreciate

each other even more.

7. BE THERE FOR THE GOOD AND THE BAD TIMES.

- Celebrate with them if your friends are excited about something.

But don't be there just for the good times. When your friend

is upset about something, give them your full attention. Most of

the time, what friends really need is a sympathetic ear, someone

who understand their feelings. (Thanks, Malou for being this one...really appreciate it!)

8. LEARN TO ACCEPT PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES IN

YOUR FRIENDS.

- Be careful not to evaluate other people by how you react in

a particular situation. Do not automatically take your friends'

behaviour personally. (oh yeah!)

9. DON'T BE A BLABBERMOUTH.

- Learn and be willing to keep each other's secrets. (zipped lips)

10. DON'T LET ARGUMENTS DESTROY YOUR FRIENDSHIP.

- Suppose you're having a discussion with a friend and after

you've said what you think is true, they still disagree. Don't keep

arguing until you get mad with each other. Just drop it. Your

desire to win the argument may ruin your friendship. (Actually, I always drop it like that....just to avoid arguments....)

My title says it all...

Well, it's been weeks now and I can say that I'm nearly on my way to getting and feeling better. If only I could fast forward things.
Sometimes I am getting sick and tired of feeling this way, but as if you can do anything about it, coz you know you cannot really control your feelings, right? Coz once it's there, it's kinda hard to get rid of...
Okay, this is more of like, "history repeats itself." I mean, after what you've been through, here you are, starting a new, fun-tastic life, and then all of a sudden...Bang! Here comes the pain again...There are times that I just laugh it off coz it's like...okay...wow... I think I am getting used to this.
But you see, these so-called trials of life make you a much better and a stronger person. Now, I think I am stronger than I think I am. I know that God is just testing me. He wouldn't let me experience these things if He knew I couldn't handle it. Like right now, I just found out something...and I lift that up to Him. I just keep on praying that it won't lead to a serious state..........
I still have a lot of stuff to fix or should I say things that I want to bring back. But I just don't know how to start...I know that that is not impossible. Well, actually, things are not really like the way they were before... there is this BIG BIG change. Does this mean, all that has been said and done were empty? Meaningless? Sometimes, I just can't help myself asking these questions...okay, maybe I should care....uhmm.. less?

Anyway, I better get going...these were, so far, the things I have been reflecting on...
As the song goes..."It will all get better in time..."

Maybe. . we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the
right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe . . when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often
times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new
one which has been opened for us.

Maybe . . it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until
it arrives.

Maybe . . the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their
way.

Maybe . . the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your
past mistakes, failures, and heartaches.

Maybe . . you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to
go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one
chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.

Maybe . . there are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a
spouse, a friend, a child, your girlfriend/boyfriend -- -- so much that
you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so
that once they are around you appreciate them more.

Maybe . . the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the
best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe . . you should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you
feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other
person,too.

Maybe . . you should do something nice for someone every single day,
even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe . . giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they
will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to
grow in their heart; but if it doesn't, be content that it grew in
yours. Maybe...just maybe....

Maybe . . happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all
those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can
appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their
lives.

Maybe . . you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; don't go for
wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the
one who makes your heart smile.

Maybe . . you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough
hope to make you happy.

Maybe . . you should try to live your life to the fullest because when
you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling, but
when you die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone around you
is crying.

Maybe . . you could send this message to those people who mean something
to you, to those who have touched your life, to those who can and do
make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you see the
brighter side of things when you are really down, and to all those whom
you want to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.

Another incident was when I was already inside the MRT and the girl was still trying to squeeze herself in even if she doesn't fit anymore...my hand got stuck and I was whining already....she was at my back, so I reached for her hair and pulled it and said, "ooouuuccchh....wala na nga eh...pinipilit pa!"....hahahaha!!!!

we are not any greater when people praise us nor any worse when they criticize us. who we are is how God sees us. no more. no less.

what's worth having in this life doesn't come easy.

of all the ways we have found to hurt ourselves, the worst has been through love. -paulo coelho

things happen in your life that you can't stop but that's no reason to shut out the world. there's a purpose for the good and the bad.

it's only when you embrace the past that you truly move forward.

Small Group keeps getting better and better...

2009-01-15T03:32:00.000+08:00

I was invited again by my friend, Kriz to join their small group at Cafe Breton in Podium. I brought my friend, Tina with me and it was her first time attending such. And I was soooo glad I came coz our topic helped me a lot. I really felt better after.

Our topic was Seven Habits of a Healthy Disciple. Last night we talked about Prayer.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door four our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. COLOSSIANS 4:2-4

Prayer is our means of communication with God. God speaks to us through His Word, the Bible. We talk to God through prayer.
"What are some practical steps you can take to develop a habit of prayer?"

-Be watchful
-Be thankful
-Be purposeful
-Be in faith

To sum up these key points, when you pray, be specific and we should pray in confidence and remain a positive attitude. Being grateful means that you are showing contentment in all the things that God has given you and you are at peace.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
HEBREWS 11:1

It is really important to pray with faith because it only means that you trust God Almighty that He will answer your prayers.

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22

I have learned so much last night. Even if I am a little hurt now, I know God has a purpose for it...Pain is a part of life. God is giving us trials so we could learn from them. That is what makes life exciting and challenging because you get to experience different things.....
Well, everything that is happening to us has a purpose - good or bad. Only God knows, that's why we should believe, trust and have deep faith in Him.

I have realized so many things. And with that, I am really really really grateful.

GOD BLESS US ALL!

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters

2009-01-11T17:48:00.000+08:00

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end.
If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time,
we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through.

Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden?

You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened.
You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that.

But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.

None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us.

What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back.

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.
That is why it is so important (however painful it maybe!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.

Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.

Let things go.
Release them.
Detach yourself from them.

Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose.

Do not expect anything in return,
do not expect your efforts to be appreciated,
your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.

Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again,
the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.

Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off,
work that is promised but there is no starting date,
decisions that are always put off waiting for the ideal moment.
Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished:
tell yourself that what has passed will never come back.

Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person.
Nothing is irreplaceable.
A habit is not a need.
This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.

Closing cycles.
Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life.
Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.

Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

If You Love Someone Ask Them For Nothing

2009-01-05T02:01:00.000+08:00

If you love someone, ask them for nothing.

Don't hold them back from their destiny.

Don't keep them from going off in search of their own answers.

Don't ask them for commitment.
You will know commitment is real when it is something given willingly and not as something obligatory.

Don't ask them for promises.

If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.

And when that time arrives,
then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free,
and have instead gained a richer, fuller life,
a wealth of experiences,
and a stronger certainty of your desires.

But should they not return to you,
then life hasn't cheated you because no promises were broken.
Your bitterness will not last long,
and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least,
this beautiful soul has colored your life,
that knowing them has already made life infinitely more meaningful.

By setting a person free,
you run a risk of them not returning.
But always remember that you found them beautiful precisely because they were free.
People are like sunlight. You can feel their warmth, and their glow,
but you can't hold them in your hand and keep them with you forever.

People CHOOSE to stay.

But a choice is made more meaningful when it is made despite so many other options.

Love has no restrictions and it is through mistakes that sometimes we see the right answer.

Because if you love someone,
you ask them for nothing
and they will come back to you.

Year of the PIG

2009-01-04T16:55:00.000+08:00

The Pig is an innocent, sweet and lovable personality. They can also be quite melancholy and over-sensitive. The Pig loves the company of others, and adores parties, gossip and chit chat. They are highly intelligent, but prefer to keep this side of their nature under wraps. The Pig does not care that much for money, but is one of the zodiac signs that is very lucky.

Forecast for 2009 2009 should prove to be a lucky and encouraging year for all Pigs. Interesting offers and chance meetings can occur at any time of the year and the Pig needs to be alert and aware for any lucky breaks. With such a hectic year, it’s important for the Pig to make time for fun and relaxation and travel may be one way to do this. It’s also an excellent year to review his diet and fitness regime, as he needs to be in top form for such an active schedule. April to July will bring happy times for love and relationships, while August and September bring interesting offers on the work front, particularly in relation to publishing and writing.

The One That Got Away

2009-01-01T09:07:00.000+08:00

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with …and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away?

I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a long time partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequential become deal breakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it’ll make sense, it really will. The day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come.

Hopefully you’re single… but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You’ll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?"

That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you’ll have in your life.

If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that if you’re already with the one you’re with, that this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple… find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference.

If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow. And it would be a great feeling, if in the end, you’d be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away."

Welcoming 2009

2008-12-30T07:16:00.000+08:00

Two days to go and hello 2009!
Time really flies so fast. This year has been great despite all the pains and dramas.. All I can say is that everything that is happening with our lives has a purpose. So live well, and laugh often. Having problems? Laugh it off or else they will make you sick!

So many things happened in 2008 - happy moments, unexpected circumstances, unbelievable discoveries, disappointing realities...etc...but I am grateful for all that. There were also a lot of lessons learned, and received countless of blessings! God is really good for He has been there for me all along.

Before the year ends, I would like to thank all the people who have been a part of my 2008:

To my friends in HS and college, thanks for all the fun and laughter on our gimiks. It's always been the best!

To my colleagues and friends, you guys rock my world despite the thousands of work load that we needed to work on over time...Well, we still know how to have some fun! Yeah!

To my new found friends at KC, it was really a pleasure meeting all of you. Really blessed to be part of this. One of the best things that happened to me coz I have seen how great the kids are- witnessing how they grow spiritually, getting closer to God. I am sure that they will be great leaders of our next generation.

To my U! Foundation family, every event that we've had was really the best, and nothing can top the way I felt during those times. I just thank God for having you guys coz you are the awesome-st! I just love you all! All the events that we've had for the past 2 years sure makes our day sooo FAB! Reaching out to the less fortunate ones really gives us the feeling of incomparable joy!

To my fam, I am always grateful for having you. I love you!

Thank you Lord God Almighty for all the blessings you have showered upon us this year and may the year 2009 bring us wealth, joy, happiness, peace, and love.

Have a Prosperous New Year to all!

Everything happens for a reason

2008-12-29T18:04:00.000+08:00

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so you can appreciate them. When they're right, you believe in lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together."

keeping my cool..;)

Is 2009 my lucky year?;)

2008-12-26T17:59:00.000+08:00

According to the "experts," 2009 will be a lucky year for those who were born in the year of the PIG. Well, if that's really true, good for me! hahaha! Does that mean, I might have a love life next year? hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Anyway, speaking of which.....I believe that things will fall at the right place and time. Only God knows....If it's meant to happen, then it will happen. What's important is how you enjoy and live your life at the present. You just have to have FAITH! You don't actually look for love coz it will come. Love was a bit complicated for me before, but all I can say is that I am thankful coz these things helped me to become a better person; I have learned a lot... I have taken a lot of risks and chances already...well...there were really some obvious reasons why it didn't work out....so ya....hmmmkei... let me end this up with a quote. I posted this before but for those who haven't read it yet, here y'go:

Take chances. Take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make who you are. You learn to grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Always say how you feel. Be U, and be okay with it.

A Walk to Remember

2008-12-04T17:15:00.000+08:00

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 1 Corinthians 13:4-6

I watched A Walk to Remember for the nth time. I just love that movie. It shows what true love really means. Though, it's so much better when you read the book. Anyway, I really don't have anything to blog about. I just type whatever pops my mind.

So okay...actually, I'm pretty tired from work today - had my overtime. Well, good thing my time is back to 8:30am again. Gollyness, my schedule this December is pretty loaded. haha! But I am so thrilled.

I'm just enjoying every moment!

Toodles!

The long wait is finally over.

2008-11-30T12:52:00.000+08:00

Haven't been in front of my PC for like days coz I got sick and that was worse! But anyway, I will be watching Twilight with my friends this week and I am so excited about it! Everybody's been talking about how great the movie was but I just couldn't relate yet.hehe...
I have so many plans for the coming days and I want to do lots of things and I really have lots of catching up to do especially with work... dang! But thank God coz I am feeling better now. Still have cough but it's all good.

Man, can you believe it? It is already December, and Christmas is just around the corner. My favorite season of the year! I can't wait to go shopping for gifts. I just love giving gifts to my family and friends. You'd feel twice the happiness if you give and share your blessings. Just sharing, everyone... heehee....I just love Christmas!

Anyhoo, I'm counting the days.....Edward Cullen, here I come... hahahahaha!!!! I just so love Twilight! ssssiiiiggghh....

I want a TWILIGHT ticket!!!!

2008-11-23T16:23:00.000+08:00

I WANT A TWILIGHT TICKET!!!

Midnight Sun: Edward's Version of Twilight

2008-10-26T05:52:00.000+08:00

As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.

I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.

I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.

So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.

I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.

I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

--Stephenie

Midnight Sun is an exercise in character development that got wildly out of hand (as do many of my projects).

While I was procrastinating some real editing work (I'm always at my most creative when procrastinating), I started to wonder how the first chapter of Twilight would read if it were written from Edward's perspective. There is so much more to his side of the story than there is to Bella's in that first chapter. After all, Bella only knows that an incredibly gorgeous boy is looking at her funny. Meanwhile, Edward is suffering through one of the most momentous days of his very long life! First there's the shock and frustration of not being able to hear Bella's thoughts, then the wild, monstrous reaction to her scent, followed by the incredible expenditure of self-control that it takes to not kill her... His side of Bella's first day at Forks High School is a hundred times more exciting than her own.

Though I didn't have time to work on it right away, the idea of letting Edward have his chance to speak stuck with me. I couldn't shake it. I found myself thinking his words in the middle of the night and jotting down phrases he would use while I was waiting in line at the post office. As soon as I finished my real work, I sat down and let Edward get his say.

Writing chapter one, "First Sight," from Edward's point of view was an exciting experience; I actually had my pulse racing as I typed. When I finished, I was truly pleased with my creation. Here was the other side of the story that no one knew. Here was the truth of what Edward had been through. I felt like I knew my Edward even better, and I was sure his dialogue would be more insightful in future novels. The end. Exercise over.

Ha ha. It wasn't long before I was thinking about Edward in Alaska, Edward upon his return to Forks, Edward's side of that fateful conversation in Biology... Chapter two started to write itself in my head, while I kept telling myself that I didn't have time to write a book for fun when I had real books to write. (My mother seconded that opinion—she thinks I work too hard).

But when a story demands to be written, there's no way to resist. And the more I wrote, the more I became convinced that Edward deserved to have his story told. At first I was planning to post it all here on my website, but I changed my mind for two reasons, the most important being that Edward's version is much longer than Bella's—Edward over-thinks everything. I'm not even half way done, and the page count is near three hundred. The second reason that I changed my mind is a little bit silly—I just would really love to have a pretty, matching, bound version of Midnight Sun to put beside Twilight on top of my desk. So I'm going to try to have it published as a complementary novel to Twilight. It will take a while, because I can only work on it between editing stints, but I hope that someday I'll be able to see Midnight Sun on the bookstore shelves next to Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and etc... (Fueling my belief that Midnight Sun is worthy of publishing is my mother's about face—after reading the first eleven chapters, she thinks it's magic and says I should go for it.)

And here I was going to write just a short paragraph of introduction. You see what I mean about things getting out of hand?

Because I just can't wait out the years it will take to reach publication for people to begin to understand Edward, here is my original character development exercise, Edward's version of Bella's first day at Forks High School, the first chapter of Midnight Sun*:

Midnight Sun (Partial Draft)

I really hope that this book will be released soon..BIG SIGH!

NEW RELEASE DATE OF TWILIGHT! :| (RAWR!!!)

2008-10-22T18:08:00.000+08:00

CONFIRMED: Philippine release date of "Twilight" has been moved

Labels: Local Updates, Twilight film

Viva International Pictures has confirmed that the local release date of Twilight has been moved yet again. The expected opening date is now NOVEMBER 26, 2008 (Wednesday). The new release date is due to logistical availability issues on Summit Entertainment's end.

The film is still currently in post-production and prints are expected to ship from the US to the regional distribution centers on November 20 at the earliest. The prints are expected to arrive at the regional distributors a few days later, and to local distributors a few more days later still, thus, necessitating the move.

THINK ABOUT IT...

2008-10-16T19:42:00.000+08:00

Have you ever been with a person that is so complicated?
Have you ever been with a person that loves the idea of arguing?
Have you ever been with a person that discuss every single detail of the problem, thou all you wanted is just a simple sorry, simple “ok, I understand”, simple oh dibale we will work something out… not squeezing every single “word” of what is coming out of your mouth.
Have you ever felt so stupid in your life? Because of not understanding what the other person wants.
Have you ever been in a situation where you felt something but too afraid to let the other person know coz you know that it’ll end up in an argument.. Thou it shouldn’t…
Have you ever been so tied up in the neck and cant breathe that much coz of being careful to what you’ll do and say?
Have you ever felt getting tired and be a robot just to stop the complications?
Have you ever thought of doubting yourself because of what the other person keeps trying to tell you? Like if you still trust yourself? If you still believe in yourself?
Have you ever been so manipulated with the person you trust most?
Have you ever felt that you no longer know who you are, can’t say what you want no freedom of expression and speech?

How will you feel if you’re the other person?
How will you feel if you’re the person perse’?

How will you react to this situations in life that sometimes are so true?
How will you managed to stand up and believe that you’re better than anyone?

Let me tell you this…

don’t push it too much for those people who are not like you…
Don’t expect that everyone is the same as you..

We’re all different…
Being different is something that makes it all exciting, but if you push it through the meaning of being different.. It only shows that, there’s no chance for anything, no chance for changing, no chance for revolving… since we’re all different.

Question…

What if you’re too tired of all this?
What if you’re starting to feel the edge of no return?
What if you’re learning to move on and accept the fact that you’ll never understand each other?
What if you feel like you’re not meant to be?
What if that differences decides for you to go away?
What if the longer you try, the harder it is for you?
What if you used to believe in “love” but starting to become less coz of the hurt?
What if you’re too tired of explaining?
What if you feel like, you can’t be yourself anymore?
What if you’re afraid to say what you wanted to say coz of the fact “arguing or rebuttal” is the next thing that’s going to happen?

Why can’t it be so simple?
Why does it have to be this way?
I didn’t do anything wrong from the past, so why am I suffering too much coz of this?

Simple questions, simple what if’s… but its too hard to answer…. isn’t it? What more if you’re in this position….

*hmmmmmm....*

Dear broken heart

2008-10-13T16:03:00.000+08:00

*got this from Bianca Gonzales' blog.

this post is dedicated to all those going through difficult matters of the heart!

”diary of a broken heart”, this was my planned title for a diary-of-sorts that i wanted to write when i was brokenhearted once. i thought to myself, what if isulat ko lahat ng nararamdaman ko araw araw sa loob ng isang buong taon, then i’d be able to read it when i am healed, and see my journey from a new point of view, from denial to anger to bitterness to hope to healing (or whatever jumbled order you’ve experienced in your own love life) and maybe, it might be able to help future broken hearts out there.

but, i never got to writing it.

siguro dahil sa sobrang sakit, kapag naiisip kong magsulat, nananalo na lang yung kagustuhan kong magmukmok sa isang tabi. imbis na mag-effort pa ako na mag-isip at magpagod, ginusto ko na lang na wala na lang akong intindihin. hanggang sa lumipas ang mga linggo, mga buwan, i went through all kinds of emotions (na slightly nakakabaliw talaga yung iba ha!), until one day, i was okay.

having said all that, and having heard some of the most saddening break-up stories the past weeks, allow me to try to reconstruct a few of the things i’ve learned in life, and love, that might help that broken heart of yours or of someone you know.

1. on advice.

kapag brokenhearted ka.. no advice said to you will make you feel better. none. as in. wala. kahit ano, walang effect. kapag brokenhearted ka, the only thing that you think will make you feel better is if the one you love will say they love you too. but they won’t. (in some cases, they won’t ever, but in some, they won’t just for this point in time.) hugs will comfort you, concerned texts will make you smile, but no amount of advice will make you feel better.. unless! unless you decide to let it make you feel better. don’t be pressured though to follow everyone’s advice. kanya-kanya lang yan. of the one hundred cliché lines thrown at you at an attempt to make you feel better, most will not make you feel better (in fact, some will make you feel worse), but there will be a few major lines (not necessarily given by those closest to you, mind you) that will speak to you and touch your heart and soothe your soul. those pieces of advice, you hold on to.

2. on prayer.

a broken heart will wake up some days so unbelievably hopeless and wanting to just stay in bed all day. some will even go all out in saying they want to die (but of course you don’t really want to die, right?) a broken heart will wake up some days feeling somewhat rested and peaceful, but with a slight fear that they might encounter something that day that will bring back all the pain. whatever mood the broken heart wakes up in, one thing remains. it’s a broken heart. and this may sound cheesy or false to some, but there is only one thing that can heal all things broken. our LoRd and personal savior, JeSus ChRisT. when your heart is peaceful, give thanks. when your heart is troubled, still give thanks and ask for deliverance. when your heart is shattered into a million pieces, still give thanks, and ask that you may learn whatever life lesson it is that He wants you to learn. in both high and low, give thanks, because it is one of the surest things in life that GoD only works for the good of those who love Him.

3. on moving on.

don’t be pressured! for some it takes weeks. for some, months. for some, years! of course no one likes the pain that a broken heart brings. (its pain like no other! araaay talaga grabe!) but, you have to go through it. there is no short cut, there is no other way. go through it. go and let it out. cry before you sleep, cry when you wake up, cry in the bathroom, cry to your friends. lock yourself in the room, stay in bed all day, don’t talk to anyone for hours, make senti all you want. do it all. don’t let anybody stop you. (but don’t let it get in the way of school or work or the things you have to do either! okay? okay.) feel all those yucky, disgusting, heart-shattering feelings, curl it all up into this unbelievably sad ball, and one day, when you are ready, throw it out the window. it will happen for you. i know you feel it won’t, that the day you will be okay will never come, but it will. have faith, it will.

let me stop at this third point and end by saying that i’ve felt all those feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness that you might be feeling right now. and, honestly, so have thousands, and millions of other people around you. it sucks. it really does. but hey. nobody said that it would be easy, but nobody said that you have to do it alone.

all this i share with pure sincerity from the bottom of my happy heart, to your soon-to-be happy heart! :)

Twilight from a Christian Perspective

2008-10-12T08:45:00.000+08:00

Twilight fans out there! you might get interested on this one.

Checkeerawt right here!

Learn from it! =)

2008-10-01T18:02:00.000+08:00

You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad,

love what you got and remember what you had, always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret, people change,

things go wrong, but just remember, life goes on

I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons.

& maybe we`ll never know most of them.

but even if we don`t have the power to choose where we come from,

we can still choose where we go from there.

life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode.

it’s being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place.

it’s running so hard, you can barely breathe. it’s that feeling of panic when you know you’ve been caught doing something wrong.

it’s having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. it’s opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying.

it’s letting people go, but letting new ones come in and all the while,

realizing that life doesn’t have a purpose unless you let it

if people have to leave us in one way or another, it would be best if they'll do it 100% lie-free and just slap the truth in our faces.

We all do deserve something better than just lame excuses because lies in all sort do make us appear stupid.

How GREAT is Your GOD

2008-09-29T18:04:00.000+08:00

THIS is really fascinating -
it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.

I CERTAINLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ENLIGHTENING. BEYOND OUR SUN . IT'S A BIG UNIVERSE.

ANTARES IS THE 15TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY .
IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU?
------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS........

THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF
COUNTLESS ' ENTIRE ' GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

BELOW IS A CLOSE UP OF ONE OF THE DARKEST REGIONS OF THE PHOTO ABOVE.HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?

And yet, Someone knows how many hairs are on your head,
and not even a single sparrow dies apart from His will (Mt. 10:29 -31)!

NOW

HOW BIG ARE YOU?

AND HOW BIG ARE THE THINGS THAT UPSET YOU TODAY?

AND HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD?

KEEP LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE.

AND DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!
IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL (Job 38)

EDWARD CULLEN IS LOVE!!! siiiiggghhh... =)

2008-09-26T17:05:00.001+08:00

We love him because...

1. A normal guy would say: “I love you, baby!”
Edward Cullen would say: “You are my life now”

2. Normal Guy would say: “I think am falling for you”
Edward Cullen would say: “The Lion fell in Love with the Lamb”

3. Normal Guy would say: “You hair looks like a haystack ….go brush it!”
Edward Cullen would say: "Your hair looks like haystack…but I like it”

3. A normal guy would pick a random song from a random artist and dedicated to you.
Edward Cullen would sing you a song he wrote for you while playing the piano.

4. If you died a normal guy would find another.
If you died Edward would kill himself cause life without you isn’t worth living.

"Well, I wasn't going to live without you." He rolled his eyes as if that fact were childishly obvious. "But I wasn't sure how to do it--I knew Emmet and Jasper would never help... so I was thinking maybe i would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi."

5. As you left the house a normal guy would say: “Bye. See ya!”
As you left the house Edward Cullen would say: “Come back to me love.”

He smiled my favorite smile. "Hurry back to me."
"Always."

6. As you come back to the house a normal guy would be watching TV and wouldn’t even notice.
As you come back to the house Edward Cullen would be welcoming you by playing the piano with a song just for you.

“I heard the music before I was out of the car. Edward hadn't touched his piano since the night Alice left. Now, as I shut the door, I heard the song morph through a bridge and change into my lullaby. Edward was welcoming me home.”

7. A normal guy would wait for you to make him breakfast.
Edward Cullen would make you breakfast everyday.

8. While you were both out for dinner a normal guy wouldn’t keep his eyes of the sexy waitress.
Edward Cullen wouldn’t even notice the waitress was a female.

9. A normal guy while driving would keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the radio.
Edward Cullen while driving would keep one hand on the wheel and the other attached to yours.

10. While far apart in different places a normal guy would say: “I miss you”
While far apart in different place Edward Cullen would say: “It’s like you taken half myself with you”

11. A normal guy wouldn’t care or notice if you had nightmares.
Edward Cullen would sing until your nightmares went away.

"Do you want me to sing to you? I'll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away."

12. A normal guy does it with everyone.
Edward Cullen only does it with one.

13. A normal guy buys you flowers and chocolates.
Edward Cullen buys you a car.

waaaaaaaaaahhhh... i am sooooo kiliiiig!!!! sorry naman.... haaay...isn't this the sweetest thang???
Almost done with Twilight..I got hooked too!!! haha!

I ♥ my new PINK Bible =)

2008-09-16T19:22:00.000+08:00

I just thought of buying something for myself.. And when I saw this, I didn't have second thoughts. I just love it... It's really nice reading something like this and knowing more about God. It just feels great.

ICE BREAKER

2008-09-10T11:39:00.000+08:00

I so love this. I bought this yesterday.. good thing I have a party to attend to on Saturday night, and we'll try this out.. haha!

How to tell if the girl is NOT interested in you

2008-09-06T18:03:00.000+08:00

This is not a very tough question. It can be a tough question too, depending on the girl. Everyone has a different character, thus it’s impossible to know if the girl is interested in you by just following the points below.

If she’s not interested in you...

She NEVER initiates contact with you, be it on MSN or sms.
She is uncomfortable with light touching for eg. playful punching or nudging.
She cancels dates with you without proposing a make-up date.
She does not even agree to go out with you and does not suggest alternative timings.
She pours out all her emotional baggage to you. (When not together yet.)
She takes a long time to reply your sms or may not even reply.
She playfully call you her brother.
She talks about other guys to you.
She is indifferent towards you.
No matter how hard u try to impress her, she just ignore u.
She never want to look at your eyes, or stay any minute with u and would find uncomfortable with u around.
She will not engage in open communication with you
She makes up stories for not wanting to meet you
She keeps things about herself from you.
She is self absorbed and preoccupied with her own life which does not include you.
She rarely initiates a call or sms to you.
When you ask her out for a date, she’ll ask, “who’s going?”
You buy expensive gifts for the girl, she thanks you very politely and tells you not to spend so much money on her or that there is no need to even buy her a birthday gift.
If you invite her to concert or expensive dinners, she tells you that she is not free almost immediately.

That’s almost all, but this doesn’t apply to all girls. You must know that some girls are generally too shy to express their love for you.

I NEED A HUG!

2008-09-06T06:26:00.000+08:00

a BIG,bone-crunching hug makes me feel secured and it feels so much better....

I LOVE Y'ALL!

For all the ladies who had been and always will be in love

2008-09-05T16:24:00.000+08:00

Learn to love the people who are with you at present. Forget the people
in the past and thank them for hurting you, which led you to love the
people you have right now.

When you love someone, you'll do crazy things you can't explain, you'll
deny the truth and believe in lies. When you love someone, you
sacrifice, give everything you've got and don't think twice.

You risk it all no matter what.

Everything in life is temporary because everything changes. That is why
it takes courage to love, knowing it might end anytime...having faith
will make it last.

Love is the feeling we fall in and out of, and every time we fall off,
we learn to hold on tighter...hoping that next time, we may never have
to let go.

They say when love knocks at your door, open it.
But do you know that sometimes love enters through the back door and
before you begin to notice it, it's on it's way out.

Have you ever loved only to let it go?..

Have you ever hated someone and loved him so?..
Have you ever missed someone so bad it made you cry?.. Have you ever
seen someone left alone without knowing why? ..

True: Lucky is the man who wins the first love of a woman but luckier is
the woman who wins the lastlove of a man.

Love is not the right word to say when you feel guilty nor the right
word to say when you like a person but love really matters when we share
our thoughts, our minds, and our hearts...

Love is not for beauty or color of the skin, but for a heart that is
loyal within, for beauty fades and the skin would grow old but a heart
that is loyal will never turn cold.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them
for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being
cautious to whom you open your heart.

A love is easy to feel, so hard to explain; so easy to get, so hard to
let go; so easy to spell, so hard to define...and yet everyone is still
taking the risk.

That's love !

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find
someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them
and fall in love in mutual weirdness and call it LOVE!

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot, it may give you
aches and pain, but if you don't follow your heart; in the end you will
cry even more for not giving love a chance.

If someone loves you, love them back not only because they love you, but
also because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and
eyes to things you have never seen or felt without them.

The past is meant to be used as a tool for the future. Bad experiences
indeed make you bitter but the lessons learned should make you better.

On letting go: it hurts to see someone you love happy with somebody
else; but wouldn't it hurt you more to see that person unhappy...with
you?

When you find arms that will hold you at your weakest, eyes that will
see you at your ugliest, lips that will kiss you in both instances, and
a heart that will love you at your worst, then you have found true love.

Someday, someone might come into your life and love you in a way you
always wanted...

True love means...

2008-09-05T16:23:00.000+08:00

True love means...

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot...

...who calls you back when you hang up on him...

...who will stay awake just to watch you sleep...

...wait for the guy who kisses your forehead...

...who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats...

...who holds your hand in front of his friends...

...wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you...

...wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her, or that's him"...

*I don't know if I will agree to some... hehe*

*got this from my email.. been receiving a lot of emails.. haha.. *

40 Tips for a Better Life

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

3. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to practice meditation, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, or issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the NEGATIVE BLUES away.

18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

26. Forgive everyone for everything.

27. What other people think of you is none of your business.

28. REMEMBER GOD heals everything.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

33. The best is yet to come.

34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

35. Do the right thing!

36. Call your family often. (Or email them to death!!!)

37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

39. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

40. May your blessings be more, May nothing but happiness come through your door!

If you can't be thankful for what you receive, be thankful for what you escape.

Kids Olympics Primer and Program

2008-08-25T08:47:00.000+08:00

I am a U! Happy Volunteer and I will play at the Kids Olympics with so much zest that my kid will remember me forever!!!

It’s a few days before Kids Olympics, what can I possibly do to help?

- I can talk about Kids Olympics with my friends and interest them in volunteering or sponsoring a kid. The support that I can bring in to the event will go a long way to provide shoes, sports gear, medical check-up and the improvements of the kids’ sports facilities.

What are the things to remember for the Kids Olympics on August 30, Saturday?

- I will wake up early so i'll be in Rain Forest Park Pasig by 8am sharp! The 1st step will be to register, pay a minimal fee of Php 100 for all the meals and for your U! ID!

- I will get my team assignment. I will then wear my team color that will be provided at the table.

- I will learn the mechanics of the games by heart as they are being delivered by the host. I will look forward to the games Agawang Base, Luksong Tinik, Patintero, Doc Quack Quack and Tug-U-War. I will be involved in all 5 fun games!

- I will meet the adorable kids of Jesus Loves the Little Children Foundation and be their ate/kuya for the day! I will spend my day with one kid as my game partner.

- I will heartily cheer for my team and the rest of the players! I will play with much enthusiasm the Larong Pinoy and will exhibit sportsmanship all throughout.

- I will make friends with the other great volunteers and the happy kids!

- I will enjoy the Park Tour, the Magic, the Parkour Exhibition and the dance presentation. And I will take or be part of a lot of pictures!

- I will receive a profile of my kid and will bring it home and always remember it so I can soon go back and visit my kid again.

How do I get to Rain Forest Park in Pasig located in F. Legaspi St. cor. Eusebio Ave., Barangay Maybunga, Pasig ?

Commute route: Take bus to Shaw Blvd Crossing- ride Jeep with “Pasig Palengke” (around 20 minutes)- Tricycle to Rain Forest Park (around 7 minutes).

Car route: Take EDSA then go to Ortigas- straight to Ortigas extension- after Rosario bridge, right to C. Raymundo Street- around 700 meters is South Star Drug at corner- left to F. Legaspi Street- around 500 meters is Rain Forest Park.

What do I have to do the night before going to Kids Olympics?

- I will prepare my white shirt, pants or playing shorts and rubber shoes that I will wear the next day.

- I will sleep early to recharge for the next day’s big event. I will need all the energy that I need! I will be very happy! And so, I might as well take vitamins…

- I will set the alarm of my clock so I will wake up on time the next day for my 8:00 AM sharp registration.

After a definitely fun day at Kids Olympics, what now?

- I can keep in touch with my kid at Kids Olympics and the Jesus Loves the Little Children Foundation after through Ms. Terrie. This is the function of the profile we will give to volunteers. Nurturing the bond and sharing your learning experiences with the kids will help them learn from you as an ate/kuya.

- I shall get in touch with U! Happy Events for their next happy event that will surely be a blast again! Contact # is 0918-8884278. I can look for Kuya Harvard who’s very accommodating.

- I will add ufoundation.multiply.com in my list of great friends! I will share my pictures of Kids Olympics with the other volunteers.

- I may look at the possibility of sponsoring or continue pledging to support the initiatives of U! Happy Events that need to be sustained. This can be also be done by utilizing your network and involve more people who have the financial tools to make the foundation more equipped to help touch more kids lives and provide them a better future.
