Moments In Life

There are moments in life when you miss someoneSo much that you just want to pick them from Your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens;But often times we look so long at theClosed door that we don't see the one,Which has been opened for us.
Don'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 toMake a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.Dream what you want to dream;Go where you want to go;Be what you want to be,Because you have only one lifeAnd one chance to do all the things You want to do.
May you have enough happiness To make you sweet,Enough trials to make you strong,Enough sorrow to keep you human andEnough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarilyHave the best of everything;They just make the most ofEverything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will alwaysBe based on a forgotten past; You can't go forward in life untilYou let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were cryingAnd everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so at the end,You're the one who is smiling and everyoneAround you is crying.
Please send this message to those peopleWho mean something to you (I JUST DID);To those who have touched your lifeIn one way or another;To those who make you smile When you really need it;To those who make you see theBrighter side of things when you are really down;To those whose friendship you appreciate;To those who are so meaningful in your life.
If you don't send it, don't worry,Nothing bad will happen to you;You will just miss out on the opportunityTo brighten someone's day with this message!!!Don't count the years-count the memories.... .......
Life is not measured by The number of breaths we take;But by the moments that take our breath away!

Hone's Best Birthday Blast

Hone celebrated his birthday together with me and his relatives. I took a picture of his gift to me, he bought it from her Tita:) It was so comfy.


The eating session began. Sarap ng palabok na nabili namin.

That's Alvin, his cousin and his tita Jean and another Tita (Oh, I forgot the name!)

Hone's cousins.

Us, eating our share.

My Hone, taking a dalanghita fruit from a guava tree,,, hahaha, good job:)

Artistic, isn't it?

A rainbow appeared infront of us. It was wonderful.

The last time I saw a rainbow was when I was in Highschool. That was years and years ago.

A closer look, if only the pixels were more finer.

We and the rainbow at our back:)

I took a shot of this lovely flower in his Lola's house.

During this time, there's a cube mania all over the Philippines, so I'm trying to solve one too!

My loving patner and I.

We were born on the same month, maybe that's why we clicked together:)

We have so many plans in our hearts, but we know, that it is God's purpose that will prevail. In the meantime, we're just doing our part and the things that needs to done... and the rest are entrusted to God.

Each day with him is a special day. And I always want to feel each day this way:)

for now, there are only few people that I trust - of course God will alwys be, then my Mom and Dad and my Hone. The others, I need to qualify first if I should trust them or not.

I asked how's his birthday, My Hone answerd, "It's the best birthday, I ever had. Thanks, Sweet, Love you so much."

He made me smile.

Only reminds me of you

I heard this song several times. It seems that I know it, but I actually don't. Today, I heard it again... and it stiked my heart once more... even without any relation in my life. Here's the lyrics.

I see you, beside me
It's only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memory
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know

[chorus]

I try to run from your side
But each place
I hideIt only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lightsEven the night
It only reminds me of you
I needed my freedom
This what I've thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart lied while you cried
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
Everything we've been through before
Now it means so much more

[repeat chorus]

Only youSo come back to me
I'm down on my knees
Boy can't you see
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know

[repeat chorus 2x]

My Birthday

Myke bought me a cake. When we got home, I'm surpsrised that it was the same cake that my Papa bought for me







I blew both cakes.

The following day, I also celebrated my birthday together my workmates. Gerald, Mmmy E, Lala, Chloe and Raph. Oh, Jan Paul was also present though it was his off.

They gave me a gift certifate for a spa (which I'm thinking, when I'll have the time to make use) and a cake. (another cake!)

Oh well, that's INV5's, kulitan mode!:)

This is me at 24. It pains me that I'm 24, but that's how life's gonna be.:)

With them. (Look at at supe, that's our supe)

And finally, the day is done.

Day of Birth

I thank the Lord my God for blessing me another year. A year that surely will be filled with love and laughter. I'm thankful that I'm still alive, and that He blesses me with wonderful things in my existence. I'm thankful that many people surrounds me and loves me for who I am... that includes my parents, my very own mama & papa; Michael, my life-partner; friends and of course my God, my Jesus, my Lord, my Saviour, my Everything.

The past year has been great. With all the things I experienced. I'm blessed, more than blessed! Last year, I celebrated my day alone. But this time, I'm celebrating it with my love ones... with Michael, later at 10 am and with My parents in the evening. I'll enjoy this day and I'll have a blast for this means greater blessings shall follow me and family.

I pray for good health- for me, my parents and for michael. I pray for wisdom and knowledge for my schooling and in terms of decision making. I pray for strength for our everyday work. I pray for peace of mind which rests my individuality. I pray for love that it may exists in every day of my life. I pray for joy that it may fill my heart. I pray for success and answered prayers that it may boost us to do more. I pray that I may be able to little by little fulfill my mission in life and bless God with all my work, as I offer everything to HIM.

Lord, use me now, I miss serving you. Let this year be mine. Let this year rain with greater blessings upon my family.

I love you, Lord. This is a wonderful day and you're going to do something which will make me happy.

My Birthday in Year 2008

I'm on leave today and went out with Hone to celebrate, far from work!:)

We ate in Cabalen and watched the "National Treasure: Book of Secret".













































Just a simple day with Hone and I love it!

36 CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS

An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.

GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) My instructions were to send this to four people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. I decided to send it to more than four, because I didn't want to limit my blessings. HOPE YOU DO IT TOO!

Why do men fall out of love?

Taken from an email.

Q: Why do men fall out of love?
"The reasons for falling out of love are layered and overlapping, but nevertheless there are four relationship busters....

*The loss of intimacy,
*The quest for validation,
*The perfection impulse, and
*The fading of attraction." (p.xxv)
