Kindness... courtesy...sensitivity to others... empathy...it goes a loooong way

Was surprised to get an e-mail from a fellow blogger. I don't know her and, if I remember correctly, had never had a chance of stumbling upon her blog. Kinda surprised that I got an e-mail from someone that I didn't know and with all the virus scares I almost deleted it. It's not the first time though that someone got hold of my e-mail addy since I recently got a weird YM from someone who was asking when my birhtday is exactly because s/he had a gift for me...anyway, I normally do not entertain questions and requests from people unbeknownst to me but since her e-mail was so courteous I decided to oblige her. If the tone of the e-mail was different I wouldn't have given the time of the day--err night but since, again, it was courteous I did what she asked of me.



So y'see young boys and girls, kindness and courtesy and even a smile goes a long way. Things that are asked for nicely are usually given to the askee. Comments that are said nicely and in a polite way are usually, if not always, accepted wholeheartedly by the recipient of the comment.

The world is not a "good" place to live in and to raise of future children in anymore... with all the negative things that are happening all over...what can you do..jump off the planet?...Its still where we live and who else but to better it but us. Who else to love it but us. If you're whining in your little corner about everything that is happening in your life or around you maybe its time to ask yourself what have YOU done? I, in my little way have tried to clean my slate and my karma by making amends with my past. By being more friendly with people I had never spoken to before in my account or had never been too chummy chummy with. I have built a relationship w my mother. I have become more open to other people. I have become less afraid of trying out new things in life. It may not be a lot, I know, but its a start and I know that I'm on my way...so anyone wants to join my journey? Don't you worry it's not an amazing race or survivor kinda race..Good God no more of that kind pleasee...isn't reality enough without having to watch it on the tube? Its more of a journey that will let you stop and smell the roses. It's the kinda journey that you will not be pressed for time or be pressured to give out any results. It's the kinda journey that there is no fixed finished line. The end ultimately depends on you. No training or preparation needed...its just you...and a determination to reach your ultimate goal might be handy. Your seatbelt will be your faith...your faith in God, in yourself and in everyone...your steering wheel~~your mind. And if along the way, and rest assured there will be, some bumps and road blocks, God will be your airbag. It's the kinda journey that may or may not be the ride of your life. But I assure you, you will enjoy it.

Been sitting for almost an hour and I can't seem to settle on what to blog...i wanted to make kwento about "hassles" and insipid people who tag or comment in your blog and leave irresponsible comments/tags and do not even have the balls to sign in their real names or urls...decided not to give them another minute of my time nalang...so what I am s'psed to blog about...nothing...but i was just wondering...
you think God ever gets lonely?

THE ART OF WAITING

Why Wait?

Because although we want to be decisive, we do not want to be impulsive.

Although we want to be swift, we do not want to be hasty.
Although we want to hold on to the one we love,
we do not want to lose ourselves in the process.
If we want to run, we must first learn to walk.
If we want to swim, we must first learn to float.
If we want to make love, we must first learn to love.

In the end, it is still best to wait for the one we want
rather than settle for the one that is available.
It is still best to wait for the one you love
rather than settle for the one who is around.
It is still best to wait for the right person.
Because life is too short to waste on the wrong one.

Because waiting serves a purpose. Noble and mysterious,
you have to know that flowers do not bloom overnight.
Rome was not built in a day. A life grows in the womb for nine months.
Great love grows steadily over a lifetime.
Most good things in life take a long time. And they are all worth waiting for.
These, despite the fact, that although waiting requires a lot of things...

faith, courage, and hope...
Waiting guarantees nothing. One cannot imagine,
after all, that God in all His wisdom, asks us to wait, for no essential reason.


"If you want to catch a butterfly,Don’t run after it,
Instead, sit down and open your hand
It will just land on your palm when it needs to rest.

That’s the way to find love…”

Just as I was about to post my entry the power in our house surges causing my pc to re-start...punyeta so here i am trying to remember what I typed..grumble grumble...


You have been weighed You have been measured and you have been found wanting (Knight's Tale)

It's less than 25 days before my 2* birthday and I still do not know what I'm gonna do...I've been wracking my brains out but all i can come up are the ideas below so if any one out there has any nice idea on what I can do on my birthday, lemme know...

1. Have a quiet dinner by myself (loser! loser)
2. Have dinner with close friends and family (anu buzz i don't have any family here!Does my yaya count?)
3. Have an open party
4. Stay at home (sulk sulk sulk)
5. Check in a hotel and just rest there the whole time and maybe take a long bubble bath and regress! (aaahhh!)
6. organize a kiddie party in an orphanage with all my friends donating some stuff to the kids (and maybe, just maybe I'd be able to prod the nuns in the orphanage if they can let me adopt one of the babies or kids there)
7. Just kill my self ..nuff said...


Somebody else
(Sister Hazel)

Hey, Hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better,
Just feel better about today

Oh no-
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better,
Might feel better if you stay

Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard
A word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough
Of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in…

If you want to be somebody else,
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind...


Hey hey-
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no- take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better,
Look much better when you glow

Hey hey-
what ya say
We both go and seize the day
'cause what's your hurry
what's your hurry anyway

at dahil reklamador daw ako here are more rants and ramblings:

***hugs everyone***

THANK YOU to My big sister Tin,My little sister Claire,aMgiNe,Meatmarket,Summer and Deslite for their kind words.

"Ayoko ng tinatapakan ako, ayoko ng masikip, ayoko ng mabaho, ayoko ng walang tubig, ayoko ng walang pagkain, ayoko ng putik." (Kaya kong Abutin ang Langit)

some coward posted this in my tag board:

morlock: Dont get mad, but you have to loosen up. Masyado kang maraming reklamo sa buhay. Simula sa ex mo na di mo pa rin maaming bitter ka pa rin. Marami ka namang friends, so anong nirereklamo mo?

To you Morlock or whatever your name is your comment was downright irresponsible and i can clearly see that you do not know what you are talking about.

If you were a close friend of mine you would know that i actually acknowledge my bitterness about my ex. Who wouldn't be anyway? He cheated on me. He lied to me several times. Have you been cheated on and lied to? Maybe you haven't. Maybe you have but had forgotten how it felt. I think I have every right to be bitter about what happened. If you were a close friend of mine you would know that I have actually forgiven my ex and the girl for all the pain and heartaches they caused me. I even went to great lengths to inform them of this. That forgiveness I gave even when I never got any sorry for what they did. That forgiveness was given freely and without any prejudice. I even posted a note that I pray that they will never experience the same pain that I went through because I do not believe that anyone, not even them, deserve to experience that kind of pain and with that post I even said that they can come to me when they need someone to talk to or when they need a friend. I went past my pain to be able to forgive them so that I can gain my peace of mind back. I went past my pain to be able to forgive myself for loving someone so much. So am I still bitter? Yes I am but it has not hindered me to live the life that I am living now. Yes I am afraid to love and to trust again. But wouldn't you be? So again, cowardly morlock, tell me again if i do not have the right to be bitter about what my ex did to me. Tell me if you can not be bitter after the person you gave your life heart and soul to betrays you.

"Masyadong maraming reklamo sa buhay" bakit meron bang tao sa mundo na walang reklamo sa kanyang buhay? I have do not have the best life right now. Maybe for some twist of fate you have and I am glad for you. I really am. In this year alone I have lost 2 men in my life and another one is dying. The 2 are insignificant comapred to the man that I am losing now. My lolo. My dearest lolo. if I had a list of the important people in my life today, my paternal lolo would be #1 alongside my maternal grandmother. Next would be my parents and sister. I would give my life to my lolo in an instant and with him sick and as the doctor said, dying I think I have every right to question why another heartache when I have just recovered from the last one and had barely enough time to gather strength...and yet I am not. I believe that its not our place to question the why and whens of the Lord. I believe that we're just here to roll with whatever comes our way but then again, I am just human. I am human enough to admit that I can only take so much pain and heartache in my life. I am human enough to know that though everything may seem hopeless and bleak right now I know that he has a reason for everything and I trust him. I am human enough to feel whatever it is i am feeling now and that is that I am sad afraid and lonely. And yet being all those had never hindered me from living my life the way it is. Yes, I have my family and dear friends who I have repeatedly thanked God for and I have called them my diamonds in dustheaps. Apparently, you are not one of them or else you would have never made such irresponsible comment in such a open and cowardly manner. next time, intindihin mo muna kung ano ang sasabihin mo. Hindi mo alam nakakasakit ka na. I hope karma doesn't find you. if you have anything else to say and since you seem to take pride in "knowing me" tell it to my face next time. be a man.
