Men Are Just Happier People. What do you expect from such simple creatures? His last name stays put.

The garage is all him. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. He can be President. He can never be pregnant. He can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. He can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell him the truth. The world is his urinal. He never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. He don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at his chest when he’s talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle his feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. He know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. He can open all his own jars. He get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite him, he can still be your friend. His underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. He almost never have strap problems in public. He is unable to see wrinkles in his clothes. Everything on his face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. He only have to shave his face and neck. He can play with toys all his life. His belly usually hides his big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes. One color for all seasons. He can wear shorts no matter how his legs look! He can “do” his nails with a pocket knife. He has freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. He can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. He don’t freak out when he goes to a party and see another man wearing the same shirt,instead they become buddies.

LOVE is like a Traffic Light, there are three colors which become a guide for us to know when to stop, to let go, and to take action. RED means STOP! Loving someone so much doesn't mean they're the right one for us. Hindi laging may happy ending kapag nagmahal ka because TRUE LOVE never ends. May pagkakataong mararamdaman mo ang sakit na dulot ng pagmamahal mo. Masakit isiping may mga taong hindi kayang magpahalaga sa mga taong nagmamahal sa kanila. Sabi nga... It's better to accept the fact that you are not appreciated than to insist yourself to someone who never really see your worth. Habang patuloy mong minamahal ang taong 'yun, mas lalo kang masasaktan. Dahil... natatakot kang tanggapin ang maari pang mangyari. Na ang taong buong puso mong minamahal ay bulag sa pagmamahal mo. Hindi porke't mahal mo ang taong 'yun sya na talaga ang para sa'yo. Natatakot kang mawala ang taong pinakamamahal mo. Pero sya ba natatakot din na mawala ka?
GREEN means LETTING GO... Letting go doesn't mean giving up, but rather accepting  that there are other things that cannot be. May mga bagay sa mundo na hindi nakatakda para sa atin. Maaaring ang mga bagay na ninanais natin na maging sa atin sana ay iyon pa ang hindi kailanman magiging atin. Kailangan mong matutong magparaya "let go" upang maka-move on at maka-get over tayo sa sakit ng nakaraan. Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go. Masakit? Oo.. para sa katulad mong nagmamahal. Never say goodbye, cos' goodbye means going away,  and going away means forgetting. To let go, it's not to deny, but to accept. The hardest thing to do is letting go, not because you want to, but because you have to. May mga taong darating sa buhay natin na s'yang muling  magbabangon sa atin sa kabila ng pait ng nakalipas. Huwag nating isarado ang puso natin... dahil sa...  tayo'y nagparaya... nagmahal... o nasaktan... kundi may taong handang pumasok muli.
YELLOW means TAKE ACTION! While someone breaks your heart, another someone else is waiting  to fix it. Proceed with caution. "Careful forethought to avoid danger or harm." Natatakot tayong masaktan... Natatakot tayong harapin ang pwedeng mangyari.. natatakot tayong magmahal muli... kaya nga nauso ang salitang "courage", yan ang kailangan  natin to "take action". Kung ang traffic light  ay may yellow light para sa caution sign. Sa love ganun din,kung alam natin na masasaktan lang tayo  at di maaring pumapel, huwag na natin pahirapan pa ng husto ang mga sarili natin. Just like an elevator,  if it's full, why will you force yourself in if there are stairs? but you just don't mind it... STOP!
LET GO.. and TAKE ACTION.

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

What do you think were the four words?

The husband just said “I Love You Darling”

The husband’s totally unexpected reaction is proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he have taken time to keep the bottle away, this will not have happened. No

point in attaching blame. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. We miss out some warmth in human relationship in giving each other support. After all, shouldn’t forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world to do? Treasure what you have. Don’t multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding on to forgiveness.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world.

Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

There was this guy who loved two gals at the same time but he didn't know which one he loved more.

Someone taught him.

Ask yourself this question and answer it honestly :

"When you are happy, which gal would you want to share your happiness with?"

The one you think of is someone you love.

Ask yourself another question and answer it honestly :

"When you are sad, which gal you want to share your burden with?"

The one you think of is also someone you love.

If you think of the same gal when you are happy & sad, that's the most perfect.

But if you don't think of the same gal,

I would advise you to chose the one you are willing to share your sadness with.

In life, there are more sorrows than happiness.

There are too many people that you meet that you can share your happiness with, 

not necessary your lover.

If you live your life happily, you can also enjoy it alone.

In sadness, however, there are not many people willing to share your burden with you.

If you are willing to tell someone your happiness,

I am sure that person has got to be someone close & an understanding person to you.

But it shouldn't stop there.

If that person only thinks of you when he is happy, but looks for someone else when he is sad,

this lover is too unstable, he doesn't treat you as someone he can spend the rest of his life with.

Of course, I will be very happy if I am the first person to share his happiness.

But, if he is sad, I will be too willing to stay by his side & ease his pain.

Only then, will I believe that I hold a very important position in his heart.

If you are sad, who comes to your mind first?

In life, we are faced with losing our first loves and our best friends. We have to face the of losing our loved-ones to death. We live with our regrets of the mistakes we make in life.
How can you love and trust again when you have been hurt over and over again at a young age. How do you get past all this pain. This is reality.
Death, departure, walk away, walk out Should I or should I not pout.
Family and friends Lovers and one-night stands
I have loved, lost and lived How do I trust, how do I love again
I should move on, it's all in my past But my pain remains, continues and lasts
This pain lingers in my heart, mind and soul Damn it - why is this world so cold
How can I have faith in God and family When people I love are taken from me
Where can I find true and loyal friends I'm sick of the lies, fights and revenge
Hurt continuously, hurt at a young age How do I love again with all of my rage
How do I get past all of this, show me a sign So I can leave my sadness, pain and crying behind.

People nowadays were very materialistic, since everything here on earth already have prices. You must have money to do and buy the things that you want. And practically speaking, indeed, we need money to survive. But not looking about the material things, we still have more options to be happy and contented and these things were money cannot buy. A HUG is very precious and priceless, yet it can fill up anyone's soul especially those who were troubled and in pain. A simple hug from someone dear to us can cover up the pain we felt inside and ease the burden that we're carrying. I know it may not washes all the pain away but somehow it is an assurance that any problem can be surpassed when you know there were people behind to help you with them. And also a sign that a person is dear to you without even saying a single word.. Give your hugs to your family and friends, show them how much you love and treasure them.  A SMILE, is also a priceless possession we have and could give to anyone without asking something in return. Didn't you notice that once you give your smile away, the one who receives it smiles back to you without you even asking it from them? Maybe because it is a silent form of communication that everyone understands without an uttered word. A smile is something you give to everybody, family, friends and even people you don't know yet... Your smile can be a sunshine to someone who's under the darkness for a long time. So keep smiling, you don't know who may fell in love with your smile. A KISS is a form of love, and the most wonderful feeling you can receive from someone you love and loves you. SLEEP, the best feeling you could give yourself because enough and good sleep creates a good mood and a stress free life. LOVE, is not something that you can just buy in the corner, it is just felt unknowingly and must be unconditional. The best form of love are the ones your family (parents) give to you because it is unconditional and they ask nothing in return... Love starts at home, so you can figure out already whom were the one's full of love in their hearts because they're not ashamed of showing love to others. But the best feeling is being in love with someone who loves you too. Sometimes when we love, we get hurt, but that doesn't mean that you are less capable of loving again. You just have to have courage of loving again. But before that, you must earn first the trust, because without trust, love is absent. But the greatest of all is the love of God for us. Agree? Friendship is not about whom you've known the longest... it's about who came and never leave... they are called priceless FRIENDS. They are the one's I won't trade to any richness in the world because with good friends around makes you even more richer in spirit. With them LAUGHTER also becomes priceless, and only good friends can bring laughter to your soul which creates priceless MEMORIES to cherish the rest of your life.

Yesterday, we all celebrated the Teacher's Day here in the Philippines, but that doesn't mean that only on this day that we give appreciation to the molders of the youth. The teachers are our second parents when we're out of our own home. They are the one's that helped us mold our future for us to become the best person that we can be. They are the ones that encourages us to live and pursue our greatest dreams when everyone else doesn't believe that we can. They are the ones that inspires us to be the "person" that we are. Lucky me to have both teacher and mother in one. This is for you mama, I know I am not a good daughter to you and papa. I may not that expressive of my feelings towards you but I hope you know exactly how thankful I am to have you as my parents. No one could ever take your place here in my heart. and if given a chance to choose my own parents, it would still be you that I'll going to choose over and over again... why? because you're both exceptional and your love is unconditional. Thanks for all your understanding and love. 
This poem is dedicated to all the teachers out there by Myrna Beth Lambert: Tribute To A Teacher

We held their hands the first day of school.
Our hearts were filled with pride.
There was an aura of fear and apprehension
As we stood close to their side.
We deposited our children at your door,
Our most precious and prized possessions.
We trusted that you would give them more
Then Reading and Writing lessons.
Our unspoken words were, give them self worth.
They are little children, respect their rights.
Teach them with love and remember compassion.
Use a firm hand to break up their fights.
As the years went by, you did us proud
With your guiding hand and understanding smile.
You gave much more then we expected.
That was your way, your undeniable style.
What higher tribute can we pay a teacher?
To what greater heights can he ascend?
Than to have his students praise his work,
And to say "He is my friend."
- Myrna Beth Lambert

Hi there everyone! This is my first time to join the Five Question Friday meme. I just hope that I'll be more consistent this time to update my blog from time to time. :) So let's roll it! 1. What album/cd/download are you embarrassed to admit you have? Music is my soul, and I always love any music genres. The only thing that makes me embarrassed is that music doesn't love my voice..lol

2. What's the one thing your spouse does better than you? Nothing, because actually I don't even have one..:)
3. When do you start buying Halloween Candy? I don't even buy one cos' actually we don't give candies during Halloweens.. Like that of the trick or treats..
4. Family closets - Yay or nay? Oh well, speaking of closets, I have a lot of dresses but my closet is not so big enough to accommodate them all..
5. Which home/cleaning chore do you hate the most? Why? All of the above? hehehe.. kiddin' I'm a person who easily gets bored when I have nothing to do at home.. What just annoys me if I am being told to do a chore when I am doing something else.
So that's all for now,  Until next Friday everyone..

As silence fills my loneliness

Only for you my hearts cries

The growing pain within myself

That tears every senses of my life.

Tears flow endlessly

Even my eyes swelled in deep agony

But nothing had been left

That I burned even more with desire

Just to feel the warmness of your embrace.

I still have the memories when we first meet

Memories that I thought would just be the beginning

And would never end

But suddenly it was gone with the wind.

I always say I LOVE YOU

Deep inside my heart do

Thinking that you feel the same way too

That even we're miles away we can make it through

I felt my world shattered like a glass

One day when you told me that I was just a back up

And that you are still in search of your perfect match

For someone you can marry even when there's no real LOVE. 

I have been waiting for a chance

Hoping that one day you would realize and understand

I gave you everything that I have

Just to let you know that I love you so much

You have closed your door to me indeed

Even if I was just trying to talk, just being a FRIEND

Then I realized, perhaps I was obsessed and was pushing myself to you...

And now, I need to say goodbye and let go!

Life is only borrowed. It's just a wink of an eye if one thinks of eternity. It's fast; it's short, but it's worth than any jewel or money because it can't be bought; it can't be changed nor can it be returned, ever. Let us ponder everyday as if it's the last day of our lives.
The myriad of things are made to happen. Impossible events are brought into reality. Unexpected phenomenon takes place at any given time. Faulty notions are made to be right. Simple scenarios are made to be complicated. Easy problems find complex remedies. Misunderstanding locks people in dispute. A rational and radical man argues with a simple-minded fellow. Conversations may lead to deception. A minor conflict can end up to war. Simple promises are compromised. Simple words lead to misconception.
Yet, some of us are very apathetic towards what's happening around. No matter what it takes, no matter how impossible it looks, no matter how narrow the road is, as long as they want it, they'll do it.
The world has become very complex and tormenting. How can we dwell in this stead freely? How can we enjoy the life with such teasing, messy minds of mankind? How can we enjoy the things that we labored for? How can we deal with things with so many onlookers minding our work? How can we fulfill our promises if we always have them compromised? If we're doing well, people criticize us; if we do badly, people will despise us. What are we going to do then?
Is this what we really want? Living in a hostile world? A world were duplicity and hypocrisy lie?

Worlds were adversities are ample?

This world is definitely not ours.

We're just tenants here.

It is suppose to be a world of peace but it turns out to be a world of lies and evils.

Why?

Because we're making it so.

We are accountable for all corruption, exploitation, terrorism, discrimination, 

and other misfortunes.

Everything starts within us and it must end within us too.

Yes, it may sound blaming to people.

But ask ourselves, who should we point our fingers to?

To whom we should speak?

To whom we should lean our trust if nobody can be trusted?

To whom should we share our pains and gains if nobody wants to listen?

If we are not for a brighter tomorrow, then let's think about the future of our offspring.

Would we want them to follow our footsteps?

Would we want them suffer what we suffered?

Would we want them feel what we feel today?

Life is full of mysteries.

Mysteries that will mislead us if we're not wise.

Mysteries that will place us in a room of obscurity, if our eyes were not opened.

Mysteries that will tempt us if we lack faith.

Mysteries that will probably baffle us up if we're not strong.

  

I was merely pointing out that sometimes, we tend to dwell upon options which are easy to choose from, well sort of. Often times, I do this, maybe this is why I'm so confused right now. I'm stuck in the moment. Isn't it weird sometimes? How life is already complex to begin with and we tend to make it even more harder for ourselves by not choosing immediately. Sure, choosing isn't that easy, I know. But why is it that sometimes, even the more logical option is quite obvious, we learn more to the option which isn't that logical but rather, more of beneficial to us? Call it selfishness. Whatever. Sometimes, we even make loop holes for it. I know I do it. It's like, we throw in more PROS to one of the options and we leave all the cons out for the other one. It's as if I'm giving myself a harder time choosing. Ha! :) Choices makes a big difference in our lives. RIGHT and LOGICAL choices make an even bigger difference. What if you made the wrong decision, but it still made sense to you? That's the point of it all I guess. You're not supposed to  make all the right choices all the time. But most of the time, you just have to choose. CHOOSE. Jeez... Why is it so hard to do this? I mean, I can't just run away from it all. hmm.. :) Maybe. Perhaps. You simply have to learn from ALL the wrong choices you've made. So that next time, you'll learn to use your brain more. Jeez. The only trouble is, it's hard to execute everything. Oh Great. Hmm.
