let me rant

haaay naku.. i hate pressures (and who doesn't?) i also hate it when people don't follow schedules, and mess your schedule as well, creating pressure (domino effect huh). today, my officemate was supposed to orient me on what modules he has developed and was maintaining. but unfortunately, he didn't show up today. he can't orient me tomorrow either, because we will be installing the new version of our project, and the installation plan isn't finished yet. worse is if he won't show up again tomorrow. maybe, i'll just bother other team members and ask help on how to install this in the singapore server.

today, i have lots of free time, but i know that starting tomorrow, my sched will be super hectic, because i need to squeeze in what should be done today. howell.. that's life..

Reflection

i heard this song sang in Pinoy Pop Superstar, and somehow reflects me...

Christina Aguilera - Lyrics

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside

super saya at kilig ng EB last friday. medyo bitin lang pero not bad considering na unang EB yun ng grupo ;)

pagkauwi e di ako makatulog. mukhang super hyper at gising pa ang utak ko. di ko alam kung dahil sa frapp na nainom ko courtesy of daddy chair na dati naman ay walang epekto sa akin, o may nag-iisip sa akin, charing! hehehe..wish ko lang :D

as usual, my body clock woke me up at 6am the next day, naghanda na sa pagdalo sa Tanging Pagtitipon ng hapong iyon. kelangang umalis ng medyo maaga dahil di ko kabisado ang area, plus magmimit kami ni handsomest for lunch (na super late ng dumating, hmpf! :p) para sabay na ring dumalo sa pagtitipon.

after ng pagtitipon, di natuloy ang bestfrend ko na dapat ay pupunta sa haus so pagkauwi ay nagpahinga, at naghanda para sa pulong ng kalihiman sa gabi.

linggo: gumising ng maaga para dumalo sa pagsamba, naidlip sandali at sinamahang mamalengke si mommy, sa hapon naman balik kapilya para tumupad.

kanina, woke up at 6am para maghanda na papasok. ang unang bungad sa akin ng mommy ko ay bad news.. muntik na pala kaming looban kagabi. ngayon ay di ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin.. nguni't nananampalataya akong patuloy Nya kaming iingatan.

kurot sa puso..

usapan kaninang lunch..

opismeyt 1: ano ulam mo?

opismeyt 2: embutido na me sawsawang atsara saka itlog na maalat.. (marami pang ibang ulam..)

opismeyt 1: ang dami naman nyan.. e ano dessert mo?

opismeyt 2: leche flan saka ice cream.. kakasawa nga e, sabi ko sana magbuko-pandan man lang saka fruit shake..

opismeyt 3: ayos ah, kakagutom yang usapan nyo

opismeyt 1: nagpapagutom lang kami (sabay tawanan)


hindi ko maiwasang maalaala si erwin, yan kasi ang isa sa paborito nyang gawin noon, itanong kung ano ang ulam ko at dadagdagan ng kung ano-ano bago sya kumain..hindi ko alam kung bakit may kumurot pa rin sa puso ko..

pagtapos ng lunch, naalala kong sumilip sa frendster, matagal ko ng balak gawin ito pero nakakalimutan ko lang. ang dami ko na ngang pending frendster request at private messages. me inapprove din akong isang testi. gumawa rin ako ng testi para sa dati kong kasama sa pdi. sa pagbabrowse sa frendslist ko, nakita ko ang picture ng pinakamamahal nya, naisipan kong iyun ay tingnan. nakita kong may pangalawang ginawa syang testi para dito, 100% cute.

pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko. nagseselos ba ako? ang totoo, hindi ko alam. ang alam ko lang, may komunikasyon pa rin sila pagkatapos ng nangyari sa amin at ika nga ay good for him. ano kaya ang mangyayari sa huwebes? sa totoo lang, ang inaabangan ko na lang ay kung ano ang gagawin ng true love nya. sayang nga at bawal ang ym dito sa ofc, gusto ko sanang makausap ang true love nya pero marahil ay itinulot na rin ng Ama na wag muna kaming magkausap.

nakamove on na nga ba ako? sa tingin ko, oo. nanumbalik na ang aking interes sa guys at sa katunayan ay 2 ang crushes ko ngayon. good sign for me din yun dahil maiiwasan kong dibdibin ang crushes ko dahil 2 nga sila at syempre, maiiwasan ko ring mahulog sa kanila na baka maging one-sided lang. wala na rin akong pakialam sa kung ano ang nangyayari sa kanya. tanggap ko na ang kung ano mang nangyari sa amin at hindi ako nagsisisi sa mga naging desisyon ko. bagamat hindi ako sang-ayon ay naiintindihan ko sya at napatawad ko na rin sya. lesson learned na lang ang lahat ng iyon para hindi maulit sa ibang pagkakataon. hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang magiging reaksyon ko pag nagkita kami pero ipinauubaya ko na sa Ama ang lahat.

road accidents

yesterday, as my mom was crossing the street on her way to church, a motorcycle suddenly hit her from behind. lucky for us, me naglakas loob na lumapit para tulungan ang aking ina. buti at hindi rin tinakasan ng nakabundol sa kanya ang obligasyon. at ang higit na ipinagpapasalamat ko ay hindi naman sya nabalian ng buto, salamat sa Ama. maliban sa gasgas at pasa at shock, sabi ng doktor ay wala namang ibang naging pinsala sa kanya. sana ay magtuloy-tuloy na ang kanyang paggaling. naging daan din ang nangyari upang dalawin kami ng aking kapatid sa bago naming bahay.

kaninang umaga, sa aking pagpasok sa opisina ay nakabunggo naman ang dyip na aking sinasakyan ng isa pang sasakyan. buti na lang at hindi naman malakas, wala naman daw naging pinsala dun sa sasakyan kaya di rin kami nagtagal. kundi siguradong late ako, unang late ko simula ng ako'y pumasok dito.

ngayon, hindi ko alam kung bakit di pa rin naaalis ang aking kaba. naaalala ko noong ako'y nagmamaneho at naaksidente, at ang nangyari sa aking ina, at ang nangyari kaninang umaga, na mild lamang pero di ko alam kung bakit ganito ang naging impact sa akin...

You've Made Me Stronger

i walked up this morning with this song in my head...

You've Made Me Stronger
by Regine Velasquez

Is it hard to believe I?m okay
After all, it?s been awhile
Since you walked away
I?m way past crying
Over you finding someone new
You turned my days into nights (days into nights)
But now I see the light
And this maybe a big surprise to you

cause you made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

If you rather believe I?m not over you
Go ahead
There?s nothing wrong with making believe
I know
Cuz I used to pretend you?d come back to me
But time has been such a friend
Brought me to my senses again
And I have you to thanked (I have you to thanked)
For setting me free (for setting me free)

Cuz you?ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

Think again
Don?t feel so sorry for me, my friend
Oh, don?t you know
I?m not the one who lose at end (I?m not the one)

Cuz you?ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye, goodbye
You?ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

napatotohanan dito ang kasabihang "may tenga ang lupa, may pakpak ang balita"...

~~~~~~

naaawang-natatawa ako sa kanya. pero isa lang ang masasabi ko, ayaw kong malagay sa situation nya ngayon. at kung ano man ang pinagdadaanan nya ngayon ay bunga rin ng kagagawan nya

Quote for the Day

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind.....let it be something good."

some Nice Thoughts To Ponder sent by my kuya


When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far
beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.


When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have, for you never know when you might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted because today is the only guarantee you have.

When someone inflicts an injury upon you it teaches you that the human state is a fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best you can, it's the only thing you are sure to have for as long as you live.

When someone mocks you it teaches you that no two people are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, don't judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents of their heart.

When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don't turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together. Times ten.

When someone holds a grudge against you it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.

When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.

When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.

When someone ridicules you it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.

from my kuya..

UNFORGIVENESS

Nothing is as painful,

As unforgiveness to the soul;

A heart that's torn asunder,

With forgiveness becomes whole.

A single kind word spoken

Means more than countless words;

The three words, "I forgive you,"

Are all that need be heard.

To a soul that has been wounded,

Like a healing, cooling balm;

Forgiveness soothes and comforts,

Till at last the soul is calm.

For the soul that seeks forgiveness,

When forgiveness can't be found;

It struggles vainly everyday,

To hear that simple sound.

The power in those three kind words,

Can heal a heart that's broken;

But that heart cannot begin to heal,

As long as words remain unspoken.

Compassion in it's purest sense,

Reside in those three words;

The three words, "I forgive you,"

Are all that need be heard.

another inspiring email from ivy

learning about...

I've learned that, no matter what happens or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. You can't appreciate what's good if there are no bad

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.As long as you are alive, there's always a second chance

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." Work to live, not live to work

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.Having pains is not the same as being pain in the ass.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.An open heart never lies and decides for the good of everyone involved

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, the needs of others, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.I know that even if there are times I feel tied, I'll lose my purpose of living if I lose my mom

I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.Life is about learning, through experiences, be it yours or others

Quotable Quotes

this is an inspiring one
"Aim for success not perfection... Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person."
Dr. David Burns

this made me laugh..
"I never make mistakes. I thought I did once, but I was wrong."

a very inspiring email i got from ivy, thanks very much sis :)

PRAISE GOD FOR THE CLOSED DOORS


We need to learn to thank the Lord for closed doors as we do an open door.

The reason God closes doors is because He has not prepared anything over there for us. If he didn't close the wrong door we would never find our way to the right door. Even when we don't realize it, God directs our paths through the closing and opening of doors.

When one door closes, it forces us to change our course. Another door closes, it forces us to change our course yet again. Then finally, we find the open door and walk right into our blessing. But instead of praising God for the closed door (which kept our butt out of trouble), we get upset because we "judge by the appearances." And in our own arrogance, or ignorance, we insist that we know what is right.

We have a very present help in the time of need who is always standing guard. Because He walks ahead of us, He can see trouble down the road and HE sets up road blocks and detours accordingly. But through our lack of wisdom we try to tear down the roadblocks or push aside the detour signs.

Then the minute we get into trouble, we start crying "Lord how could this happen to me?"

We have got to realize that the closed door was a blessing. Didn't He say that "No good thing will He withhold from them that love him?"

If you get terminated from your job - don't be down, instead thank God for the new opportunities that will manifest themselves - it might be a better job, or an opportunity to go to school.

If that man or woman won't return your call - it might not be them, it might be the Lord setting up a roadblock (just let it go).

One time a person had a bank he had been doing business with for many years tell him "NO" for a $10,000 loan. The Lord led him to call another bank. That bank approved a $40,000 loan for him at a lower interest rate
than his own bank had advertised.

I'm so grateful, for the many times God has closed doors to me, just to open them in the most unexpected places.

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way." - Psalm 37:23.

The Mountain top is glorious, but it is in the Valley that I will grow!

Always Remember God gives you . . .

Enough Happiness to keep you Sweet
Enough Trials to keep you Strong Enough
Enough Sorrows to keep you Human
Enough Hope to keep you Happy
Enough Failure to keep you Humble
Enough Success to keep you Eager
Enough Friends to give you Comfort
Enough Wealth to meet your Needs
Enough Enthusiasim to make you look Forward
Enough Faith to banish depression, and
Enough Determination to make each day a better day than the last
Life must be lived forward ... but can only be understood backwards ...

haaaay naku.. tinopak cell ko at nabura lahat ng messages ko :( in a way, mabuti na rin siguro ito para clean start na talaga, me 2 msgs pertaining to him pa kasing naiwan dun, na nabura na ngayon
just want to share an inspiring email i received about work and us, workers

WORK and YOU

FIRST:
Don't get the idea that you are ATLAS, carrying the world on your shoulder. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

SECOND:
Tell yourself that you like your work. Then it will become a pleasure, not a drudgery. Perhaps you do not need to change your job. Change yourself, and your work will seem different.

THIRD:
Plan your work-work your plan. Lack of system produces that "I'm swamped" feeling.

FOURTH:
Don't try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out. Operate on what wise advice from the BIBLE. "This one thing I do". (One part at a time, we can accomplish any goal set for ourselves. Today, I will do one small task that will contribute toward the achievement of a life goal.)

FIFTH:
Get a correct mental attitude. Think a job is hard and you will make it hard. Think it easy, and it will tend to become so.

SIXTH:
Become an expert in your work. It is always easier to do a thing right.

SEVENTH:
Practice being relaxed. Easy always does it. Don't press or strain.

EIGHTH:
Do not put off until tomorrow that you can do today. It only makes tomorrow's job harder. It piles up on you. Keep your work on schedule.

NINTH:
At the start of everyday, PRAY about your work. You will get some of your best ideas that way.

TENTH:
Take along your "UNSEEN PARTNERS". It is surprising the load He will take off you. GOD is as much home in offices and shops as in churches. He knows more about your business than you do....

two not so good things happened today..

first, the admin talked to me again (buti na lang nde yung head dahil mejo mataray yun) to tell me that i'm one of the top 10 net users. o divah, bongga. wala ba akong medal? wehehehe :D

second, i've talked to a very inconsiderate and bossy lady, and to think that her work and position requires her to be service-oriented, sheez..
this song is dedicated to and best describes switty. good luck girl!

How Did You Know

INTRO

I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile

My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine

CHORUS

How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life

I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you

Repeat Chorus

Friday, September 03, 2004

this is a song i heard when i woke up this morning, and somehow, reflects my outlook in life

Smile
Rod Stewart


Smile
Though your heart is aching
Smile
Even though it's breaking
When there are clouds
In the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun
Come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Smile

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Keep on smiling
Oh yeah
Smile
Never, never, never stop smile
Smile

In LIFE, LOVE is NEVER planned nor does it happen for a reason.
But when the LOVE is REAL, it becomes your PLAN for LIFE and your REASON for LIVING!


ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.


TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. one of the reasons why i fell for him, one of the characteristics i look for in a friend, moreso in a life partner


THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.


FOUR. When you say, "I love you", mean it. love truly, nde yung seasonal lang


FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.


SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.


SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.


EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much


NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. amen


TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.


ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.


TWELVE. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, ask them "Why do you wanna know?"


THIRTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements are the greatest successes of life.


FOURTEEN. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.


FIFTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. something like forgive but dont forget the lesson it taught you


SIXTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions. trust and respect is the foundation of a strong relationship


SEVENTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. hmmm...is what happened between us under this "little dispute" category?


EIGHTEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. if you can't correct it, be responsible for it and learn from it


NINETEEN. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. i'll try to remember this, something like what my kuya told me, 'you are never fully dressed until you wear a smile


TWENTY. Spend some time alone. and meditate on things so you won't get lost in the crowd of life
luma na itong email na ito, pero hindi naluluma ang mensaheng nakapaloob..

Jaguar

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.

He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed, no children appeared.

Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!

He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?

That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic.

"Please, mister...please , I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.

"It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.

He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.

A quick look told him everything was going to be okay..

"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar.

The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

just want to share a line from our internet user agreement. this made me laugh... that w/c is not expressly allowed shall be denied
i wouldn't be surprised if one of our network guys would be lurkin' around my blog. just had our orientation yesterday, and they are monitoring the sites one visits and the length of time one stay on that site. howell.. all work and no play makes anyone dull, aight?

~~~~~~~~

i can't help but think of him when reading ivy's email. call me a (sentimental) fool but somehow, i can't help but think that things would've been better if we just stayed friends, or if i met my officemate a little earlier and got the idea she gave me. howell.. it's water under the bridge now, no sense in fussing over it.. still..

from ivy's email

To Whom It may concern:

There is a difference between being
an acquiantance and being a friend.

First, an acquaintance is someone whose name
you know, whom you see every now
and then, with whom you probably have
something in common, and around whom
you feel comfortable.

It's a person that you can invite to your home
and share things with.
But they are people with whom you wouldn't
share your life, whose actions sometimes
you don't understand because you don't know enough
about them...

On the other hand, a friend is someone you love.
Not that you are "in love" with him or her,
but you care about the person, and you
think about him or her when they are
not there.

Friends are the people of whom you are
reminded when you see something they might
like, and you know this because you know
them so well.

They are the people whose pictures you have
and whose faces are in your head
regardless.

They are the people you see in your mind when
you hear a song on the radio because they
made you go up to the person they like and ask
them to dance with them; or maybe YOU danced
with them, maybe they stepped on your
toes, or just put their head on your shoulder.

They are the people around whom you feel safe
because you know they care about you.
They call just to see how you are doing,
because friends don't need an excuse.

They tell you the truth--the first time--
and you do the same.
You know that if you have a problem, they are
there to listen.

They are the people who won't laugh at you
or hurt you, and if they do hurt you,
they try hard to make it up to you.

They are the people you love, regardless
of whether you realize it.

They are the people with whom you cried
when you got rejected from colleges
and during the last song at prom and
at graduation.

They are the people that when you hug them,
you don't think about how long to hug
and who's going to be the first one to let go.

Maybe they are the people that hold the rings
at your wedding, or maybe they are
the people that give you away at your
wedding, or maybe they are the people
you marry.

They are the people who cry
your wedding because they are happy,
or because they are proud, or because
they are so in love.

They are the people who stop you from
making mistakes and help you when
you do.

They are the people whose hand you
can hold, or you can hug or give them
a kiss and not have it be awkward,
because they understand the things you
do and they love you for them.

They stick with you and stand by you.
They hold your hand.
They watch you live, and you watch them
live, and you learn from them.

Your life is not the same without them.
These are your friends.
How many do you have?

* This is not a chain letter, this is from the heart.
Send it to the people who are your friends,
who used to be your friends,
who need friends,
or just those people who need something

got this from an email, this is so true

Did you know ???

Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really like that person?

Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart, are real weaklings and most susceptible?

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones who really need someone to protect them?

Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are : I love you,Sorry and Help me. The people who say these are those who actually need them or really feel them, and they are the ones you really need to be treasured, because they have said it them.

Did you know that people who occupy themselves by keeping others company or helping others are the ones who actually need your company and help?

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy thier beauty?

Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?

Did you know that those who need more of you are those who did not mention it to you?

Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writting than saying it to someone in the face?But did you know that it has more value when you say it in the face?

Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?

Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.

allow me to rant

geez.. i hate my cell provider (sun cellular).. pano ba naman, nagbago sila ng billing policy without notifying their subscribers tapos yung credit limit e total of two months usage (running and outstanding bill) at nde one month lang. pero yung mga free txt msgs e di naman nila ibabawas sa running bill, o di ba over-charging yun? naputulan ako just last week ng line, my bill was just P700+ which was due on aug. 16 pa e ang credit limit ko e nasa P1,000. after paying that amount and requesting for a higher credit limit at plan upgrade, di pa rin binalik line ko kasi, according to their hotline, dapat daw bayaran ko rin ang running bill ko na di naman sinabi sa akin ng sun shop. after going back again to the sun shop where i made the payment e nabalik na line ko. yesterday, i received a txt msg from sun reminding me to settle my bill. so dumaan ako sa sun shop to inquire at ang sabi e wala naman daw akong balance. ngayon, putol na naman line ko, at ang sabi sa hotline nila e dahil sa running bill ko. bastos pa yung nakausap kong customer rep. shhheeeezz.. mukhang tatapusin ko na lang talaga yung 2-yr contract ko (which will end march next yr) at lipat na ako ng subscriber. ang nakakainis lang, bagong number na naman.

Friday, August 06, 2004

one of the things i like in my new ofc is my work area. tanaw ko buhat dito ang nangyayari sa ibaba sa likod ng bldg namin -- ang mga naglalakad, mga nagpapark, mga paparating at papaalis na tao. higit sa lahat, tanaw ko ang kalangitan at ang mga puno. alam ko na ngayon kung ano ang weather sa labas at di na magugulat kung bumabagyo man o sobrang init (yun lang naman weather dito sa pinas e, hehehe..)




ang isa naman sa ayaw ko bukod sa mejo limited ang net access ay ang keyboard ko.. hindi gumagana ang backspace, magkaiba pa ang position ng @sign at double quotes.. ewan ko kung me ilang "bug" pa itong keyboard ko. ngayon ko lang kc nadiskubre ang backspace e ika-5 araw ko na..




bakit kaya mejo updated pa rin ako sa kung anong nangyayari sa lovelife ni denial king? pero ngayon e parang nanonood na lang ako ng teledrama sa tv.. hindi ko tinutulungan ang kasama nya sa palabas, hindi ko rin pinipigilan.. minsan, nagbibigay ng payo bilang kaibigan pero hindi ko papakialaman ano man maging kahinatnan ng palabas.. hindi ko naman siguro ipinagkakanulo ang kapatiran dito, di ba?

Thursday, July 29, 2004

dahil sa pinipilit ako ng katabi ko e nag-update na rin ako, wehehehe :D

me work na po ako sa monday! yipee!!! 2 ang tinatarget ko, isa sa makati at isa sa alabang.. pero ang Ama na rin ang nagbigay ng para sa akin.. sa alabang nya ako dinala, para mas madali sa akin ang paghilom ng sugat...

SQ

from an email, i got 17.08

Sexiness quotient

1. Divide your weight in pounds by 2.205 to get your weight in kilograms.

2. Multiply your height in inches by 0.0254 to get your height in meters. Then multiply this number by itself.

3. Now divide the first number by the second. The result is your sexiness quotient.

Here's what your sexiness quotient translates into in terms of looks:
13-15.9 = ANOREXIC - NOT SEXY: You're a bit too skinny. Guys prefer gals with more meat on their bones.

16-17.9 = FASHION MODEL - VERY SEXY: You look like you've stepped right out of the pages of Vogue and cut an elegant, streamlined figure.

18-19.9 = PLAYBOY CENTERFOLD - EXTREMELY SEXY: Va-va-va-voom! You've got the kind of body that drives men wild, with bedroom flesh in all the right places!

20-23.9 = AVERAGE WOMAN - MODERATELY SEXY: You've got the typical
female form. Your're the girl-next-door type that most men end up marrying.

24-25-9 = PLEASANTLY PLUMP - SOMEWHAT SEXY: You're a bit on the buxom side. But don't worry, a lot of men are crazy about "full-figures" gals.

26-40 = FAT 'N' SASSY - NOT SEXY: Time to cut down on the fast food. There's too much of you for your height.

Maybe
by Neocolours

There I was
Waiting for a chance
Hoping that you'll understand the things
I wanna say

As my love want stronger than before
I wanna see you more and more
But you closed your door
Why don't you try to open up your heart
I won't take so much of your time

Maybe it's wrong to say please love me too
'Coz I know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know he's here to stay
But I know to whom you should belong

I believed what you said to me
We should set each other free
That's how you want it to be
But my love went stronger than before
I wanna see you more and more
But you closed your door

Why don't you try to open up your heart
I won't take so much of your time

Maybe it's wrong to say please love me too
'Coz I'll know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know he's here to stay
But my love is strong
I don't know if this is wrong
But I know to whom you should belong

Maybe it's wrong to say please love me too
'Coz I'll know you'll never do
Somebody else is waiting there inside for you
Maybe it's wrong to love you more each day
'Coz I know he's here to stay
But my love is strong
I don't know if this is wrong
But I know to whom you should belong

LIVING ALIVE By Dero Pedero


The Philippine STAR 06/07/2004


You are what you eat, and what you don't eat.
Similarly, life depends on


what you keep and what you don't keep. There
are many things in life that people may keep but only a few are truly worth
keeping. Here is a list of what to keep and how to keep yourself for a
brighter, happier and more fulfilling life.


22 Things To Keep


Keep calm. Life can be unnerving and if you don't make an effort to keep



collected and focused, you could easily lose
your cool. Take regular,


conscious deep breaths to calm and center
yourself.


Keep your chin up. Not only is it good for your posture and diminishes


your double chin, it also helps you maintain an
"I can handle it"


attitude. By keeping your chin up, you can keep
your head above water.


Keep your spirits high. Always maintain a positive and joyful attitude.


Remember that no one can perk you up like you
yourself can. Keep your



spirits high when the going gets rough by
focusing on your dreams and


counting your blessings.


Keep your word. The true measure of a man is if he keeps his word.


Honorable and trustworthy is the man who stands
by what he says and


promises. It is important the think well before
speaking because once a


word is uttered and released into the universe,
its vibrations could no


longer be erased.


Keep in time with your inner
drummer
. Don't be swayed by
others into



following the confusing beat of their drums.
Although it is sometimes


necessary to adjust to the pace of others, it
is best to keep in step with


your personal rhythm and dance to your own
music.


Keep in touch with the child in
you
. The source of
creativity in your life


is that little child within you. He questions,
he marvels, he imagines and


invents. Stay in touch with him, and be young
and creative for life!


Keep abreast with the times. The world is moving so fast. Know what's


happening, what's in style, what's au courant,
what's relevant, what's



important. Learn the hottest trends and the
latest in technology. Don't be


caught in a time warp or you'll be left behind.


Keep in shape. Your shape shows your state of health. Your body is the


vessel that you journey through life in. Keep
it healthy and strong. Don't


be one of those people who say, "I'm in
shape; round is a shape!"


Keep your mouth shut. People talk too much. We language ourselves to our



own destruction and defeat. Know when to talk
and when to shut up. Avoid


being verbose. Oftentimes, silence speaks more
eloquently than words.


Keep good friends. Good friends are hard to find. Nurture friendships that


make your plight through life easier, more
meaningful and wonderful. Truly


poor is the man who has no good friends.


Keep great memories, not heavy
objects
. In the very end, good
memories of


life are what we will be left with, not jewels
and riches that we couldn't



bring when we finally go. Live each moment
beautifully. Linked together,


these magical moments create a magnificent
life.


Keep a diary. Writing a journal is therapeutic. Record the important


events in your life, your dreams and
aspirations, even your failures and


disappointments. When you trace back events in
your life, you are bound to


learn lessons from them as well as find great
inspiration and strength.


Keep saying grace and thanks. Blessed is he who says grace before he eats


and gives thanks for all the gifts he receives
daily. Maintain a thankful



attitude and focus on your blessings instead of
disappointments.


Keep on moving forward. The universe moves forward in time. Don't get


stuck in the past; make an effort to move ahead
to a better life. Drop


those unnecessary pieces of material and
emotional baggage that weigh you


down and keep you from flying to your loftiest
dreams.


Keep out of danger. He who exposes himself to danger finds it. Don't court


danger; avoid it. As they say, an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of


cure. Look out for number one (that's you!),
and always stay safe and



sound.


Keep up the good work. Success is built upon success. The more you do, the


more you achieve; the more you achieve, the
better you get at doing it.


Make success a habit by keeping up the good
work.


Keep young. Do everything in your power to stay strong, supple and


youthful. Think young; feel young. A wise man
once said "It is never too


late to be what you might have been."

Remember that age is a number and


that youth is an attitude.


Keep on dancing. Life is a dance through space and time. Embellish


whatever music life plays for you with your own
fresh orchestration and


creative choreography. Be excited in your heart
and keep your feet light


with happiness.


Keep on loving. Love is the reason we were created. Love diminishes when


hoarded but multiplies when shared. Give it and
feel it overflow in your



heart. Love cures all sadness, pain and sorrow.
Lonely is he who does not


give love away and therefore gets none in
return.


Keep on dreaming. Most men, even if they are young, are dead that is, if


they could no longer dream. Our dreams are what
keep us young and alive;


they give us that sparkle in our eyes. Our
dreams keep us going even while


everything around us says, "Stop."


Keep on hoping. Never lose hope. Tomorrow will be another day that will



bring new hope and greater blessings. Keep
faith in the abundance of the


universe and the mystery and perfection of
life. Hope for nothing but the


best and that's what you will be granted.


Keep on believing. Belief is the mother of reality. What you believe


becomes your truth. Believe in yourself,
believe in the magic of the


universe, believe in the power of your dreams.
And most of all, believe


you can do it, so you can have all your heart's
desires!


These You Must Not Keep



Don't keep up with the
Joneses
. Just because your
neighbor bought a red


Ferrari, you, too, must get one. Don't join the
bandwagon and keep away


from being one with the herd. Too much
unhappiness in this world is caused


by comparisons ^ comparing yourself and trying
to measure up with other


people. There is really no need to live up to
others' expectations if it


would just bring you inconvenience and misery.


Don't keep issues and grudges. The reason most of us stay miserable is


because we keep issues, grudges, and problems.
Detox yourself of



complaints and issues that keep you from being
the best that you could be.


Try to solve all problems that beset you; never
leave anything unresolved.


The questions and puzzles of life are what make
it challenging and


exciting.


Don't keep resentments and
memories of painful experiences
.
Life is not a


bed of roses so you must learn to let go of
negative feelings and memories


of painful experiences. It's hard to go on
living with a heavy heart.


Pardon, forgive, forget if you can, and move
on.


nagpakita na ang haring araw, sana senyales na rin ito ng magandang panahon para sa akin.. ito ang huling talata na binasa kagabi sa pagsamba.. ito ngayon ang aking pinanghahawakan

Remedy for falling out of love

When love seems as if,
That it surely slowly dies,
Now and then, it happens,
Out the window it just flies.
Look back to former days,
Back when you were dating,
When you were constantly,
In your heart, anticipating.
To meet your true love,
You would constantly dream,
Every day it maybe seems
You were surely ever keen.

For back then it was sweet,
And loving indeed surely
Made you feel complete.
But there is nothing at all,
Has changed in this today,
All you've done is let that slip,
Now will you hear me say?
Romancing and dancing,
Don’t ever need to stop,
And love for one another,
Has no reason to ever drop.

Be appealing once again,
Win back over true love,
It’s still exactly the same.
Love simply does not die,
But it just gets pushed aside,
And we often forget this,
In a loved on that we pride.
Sounds really easy to say,
And yet indeed it's very true,
Repairing love is something,
That almost any one can do.

Severe heartaches are born,
Simply through forgetting
Love your heart once worn.
I cannot grant a simple fix,
Nor a magical miracle cure,
But there is a pleasant answer
To all of this, of that I'm sure.
Look back to your dating days,
Think what then did you do?
To make your own sweetheart,
Be in the least attracted to you.

What makes a heart grow fonder?
Run around your dating days,
Back in time just wander
Do what you did, back in those
Old former days of dating,
When your partner to see you,
You were surely anticipating.
Would a nagging or bad attitude
Then appeal to your own heart?
Or would it be a smile and charm
Appealing you both at the start.

Think as you did way back then,
That's why this person loved you,
As you too indeed loved them.
They say the grass is greener,
Way over on the other side,
And it could be greener on yours,
If you release the love you hide.
Loving partners with such love,
Hearts ever bless all heir days
As both become more attracted
To each partner’s own little ways.

Be Thankful!

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times;
during those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes;
they will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made an effort.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.
loveless and jobless at the same time, kaya nyo yun?
anybody has this mp3? penge naman ako :)

What Might Have Been

Somewhere, lost in the wind
I'm watching you
Sunlight touching your hair
And I remember
Somehow, we said that we would never stray
But somehow we lost our way
Promises too often spoken
Are easily broken apart

I'm ready this time
I know that I'm no longer undecided
Don't wanna be
A fool wondering what might have been

Trace of forever lingering
Drawing me closer to you
A new beginning
Now I know
There is no doubt I understand
Just how fragile love can be
I can't forget
Your mem'ry found me
Now I know where I belong

I'm ready this time
I know that I'm no longer undecided
Don't wanna be a fool wondering
What might have been
Through every day, into the night
With only love to guide us
I'm ready to go, coz I've got to know
What might have been
Let the lovin' decide, I can't run, I can't hide

I want you to know
My heart will show that I'm ready this time
I know that I'm no longer undecided
Don't wanna be, a fool wondering what might have been
I've searched everywhere, and nothing compares
When we've got love to guide us
I'm ready to go, coz I wanna know what might have been
I'm wondering what might have been
We're gonna find what might have been
Oh I wanna know what might have been.
from an email, very timely and applicable to me

The Secret

One day, one friend asked another,

"How is it that you are always so happy?

You have so much energy,

and you never seem to get down."



With her eyes smiling, she said,

"I know the Secret!"

"What secret is that?"

To which she replied,

"I'll tell you all about it,

but you have to promise to

share the Secret with others."



"The Secret is this:

I have learned there is little I can do

in my life that will make me truly happy.

I must depend on God to make

me happy and to meet my needs.

When a need arises in my life,

I have to trust God to supply

according to HIS riches.

I have learned most of the time

I don't need half of what I think I do.

He has never let me down.

Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy."



The questioner's first thought was,

"That's too simple!"

But upon reflecting over her own life

she recalled how she thought a bigger house

would make her happy, but it didn't!

She thought a better paying job

would make her happy, but it hadn't.

When did she realize her greatest happiness?

Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,

playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,

a simple gift from God.



Now you know it too!

We can't depend on people to make us happy.

Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.

Trust HIM!

And now I pass the Secret on to you!

So once you get it, what will you do?



YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!

That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!

But it's not really a secret...

We just have to believe it and do it...

Really trust God!

TULOY PA RIN lyrics (Neocolours)

Tuloy Pa Rin
Neocolours


Sa wari ko'y
Lumipas na ang kadiliman ng araw
Dahan-dahan pang gumigising
At ngayo'y babawi na

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa 'king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan ang
Bakas ng kahapon ko

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Kung minsan ay hinahanap
Pang alaala ng iyong halik (alaala ng 'yong halik)
Inaamin ko na kay tagal pa
Bago malilimutan ito

Kay hirap nang maulit muli
Ang naiwan nating pag-ibig (alam ko na 'yan)
Tanggap na at natututo pang
Harapin ang katotohanang ito

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin

Muntik na
Nasanay ako sa 'king pag-iisa
Kaya nang iwanan
Ang bakas ng kahapon ko

CHORUS:
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko (tuloy pa rin)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo (hugis ng mundo mo)
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo (hamunin)
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin (tuloy pa rin)
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko (tuloy pa rin)
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo (oh..hoh..)
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo (handang harapin angmundo)
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin
Tuloy pa rin ang awit ng buhay ko
Nagbago man ang hugis ng puso mo
Handa na 'kong hamunin ang aking mundo
'Pagkat tuloy pa rin

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN Lyrics : BRYAN ADAMS Lyrics Song Lyrics of HAVE YOU EVER REALLY LOVED A WOMAN by BRYAN ADAMS

To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought
See every dream
N' give her wings -
When she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself
Lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
That she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her
That she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you
Till ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her
Really taste her
Till you can feel her in your blood
And when you can see your unborn children
In her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
That she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her
That she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
Really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith
Hold her tight
A little tenderness
Gotta treat her right
She will be there for you,
Takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

i wonder, will u cry?

Joey McIntyre Song Lyrics - I Cried - TheSongLyrics.com: Joey McIntyre

VERSE:Do you remember how,
we'd hold each other tight?
It was all I had to get me through the night.
I can't believe that you are gone.
Everything right it all went wrong.
Do you remember how we kissed?
You said you never felt like this.
I guess I thought it'd never end.
You know that you were my best friend.

CHORUS:
I cried,
And I don't care who knows it,
I cried,
I ain't too proud to show it,
I cried,
when you said good-bye,
ooh, baby,
I cried.

VERSE:
I wonder if you ever think of me,
or am I just another distant memory?
And after all, that we've been through,
it's just so hard to give up on you.

CHORUS 2X
I cried, I cried, I cried
When you said,
when you said,
when you said good-bye,
ooh, baby,
I cried.
I cried.

an email from a man's perspective point of view

75 lessons that MUST be learned in relationships


1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If
he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

2. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.


3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a man's
character, leave him alone.

4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from
heartache.


5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship
that's not meant to be.

6. Don't force an attraction.

7. Slower is better.

8. Never live your life for a man before you find what
makes you truly happy.

9. If a relationship ends because the man was not
treating you as you deserve then heck no you can't "be
friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.

10. Have faith in God regarding your relationship, but
don't let faith make you stupid. God does things
decent and in order.

11. Don't settle.


12. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then
he probably is.

13. If he keeps changing his mind about the
relationship--take that as a BIG sign that he is
unstable. Do you really want to be with a man like
that?

14. Don't stay because you think "it will get better."
You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying
when things are not
better.


15. Honorable men take care of their business and
aren't involved in a whole lot of mess.

16. The only person you can control in a relationship
is you.

17. There's only one 'reason' a man dumps you; he
doesn't want you.

18. Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a
bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he
got them pregnant,
why would he treat you any differently?

19. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before
finding the prince.

20. Always put yourself and your happiness first.


21. Always have your own set of friends separate from
his.

22. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If
something bothers you, speak up.

23. Like from the show Sex and the City, if he doesn't
call, he just isn't that interested.

24. Be honest and upfront.


25. Know when to cut the cord, don't be strung along.

26. Don't fall for the "I'm confused role". Remove
yourself from the situation to let him figure things
out (but don't wait for him, move on).

27. If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat
you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family (not
just mom).

28. There's more than physical abuse, there's
emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of
them...flee.

29. You cannot change a man's behaviors. Change comes
from within.

30. Don't let him place rules on you that he is not
willing to follow himself -- double-standard.

31. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than
you are...even if he has more education or in a better
job.


32. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man,
nothing more nothing less.

33. Demand respect and if he can't give it, he can't
have you!


34. Don't compete with other woman, but be aware that
men are attracted to what they see.

35. If you think he is cheating, he probably is.
Confront him right away and if you feel he's lying,
let him go.

36. Actions speak louder than words.

37. Never let a man define who you are.

38. Never rely on a man for compliments, look to
yourself for that.

39. Never borrow someone else's man.

40. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

41. Just because he says he loves you, doesn't mean
that he won't hurt you and it doesn't mean that you
are meant to be with
him.

42. To use painful hard-won wisdom -- 'get it right'
the next time.

43. Know that you deserve to be the number one person
in the life of the #1 person in your life.

44. Love is a verb ...


45. Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to
make someone unavailable-available, someone
ungiving-giving, and
someone unloving-loving.

46. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to
treat you.


47. All men are NOT dogs.

48. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two way street.

49. If you don't love self...you can't love anyone else.


50. You cannot mend someone else's broken heart.

51. You need time to heal between
relationships...there is nothing cute about
baggage...deal with your issues before pursuing a new
relationship.

52. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE
you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE
individuals...look for someone complementary...not
supplementary.

53. Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be
Mr. Right.

54. NEVER give more in a relationship than you are
getting out of it.


55. Never become your man's "therapist".

56. When actions and words conflict, believe the
actions. Respond to the actions.

57. A real healthy relationship requires two people.
One person can end it - but it takes two to make it
work.


58. Don't fall for the "I'm not the loving
type"...when a man loves you there is nothing in this
world (within reason) that he
wouldn't do for you.

59. Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always
know where you are, and you're always readily
available to him he takes it for granted.


60. Give him his space...let him go out with his boys,
don't pressure him to spend time with you, You cant
force a man to hang out with you.

61. If you wouldn't allow your daughter to be with him
you shouldn't.

62. Never let a man know everything. He will use it
against you later.

63. Never move into his mother's house.

64. Provide financially for yourself and don't depend
on anyone.

65. Never co-sign for a man.

66. Never believe you have the perfect guy and he is
so innocent.

67. Never spoil your man; let him spoil you.

68. Never let a man mess up your credit.

69. When it's time to let go; let go.

70. Good men should be treated like good men.

71. Don't play games.

72. You can't make a whore into a housewife - or
husband.

73. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you
everything that you need. Keep him in your radar but
get to know others.

74. Compatibility in terms of educational attainment,
values, beliefs, personal and career goals, and
socioeconomic status, are important.

75. Never date a guy who wears colored contacts. :p

found this lyrics while browsing around.. one of my old time faves..

I Wouldn't Be Here If I Didn't Love You


Traffic lights shining in my eyes
Through the pouring rain
We had a terrible fight tonight
And I can't stand the pain
I've been searching for hours and hours
up and down these lonely streets
I feel scared and alone and so incomplete

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
I wouldn't waste your time or my time in a love
that's going nowhere

It's been building up for quite sometime
Something had to break
But to just end it all like this
Would be the worst mistake
I know I don't wanna live without you
I know exactly what you mean to me
And I believe that inside, we still hold the key

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
I wouldn't waste your time or my time in a love
that's going nowhere

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
Freezing cold in the pouring rain
All I wanna do is find you
Let me set you home again

Someday we gonna look back on this
Throw away the cross we had to bear
We'll have a laugh and we'll have a kiss
We'll say all is fair

I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you
I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
I wouldn't waste your life or my life in a love
that's going nowhere

I wouldn't be here baby
(I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you)
I wouldn't be here baby
(I wouldn't be here if I didn't love you)
