A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. In a specific point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one, who got slapped, was hurt, but without anything to say, he wrote in the sand:
"TODAY, MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE".
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who got slapped and hurt started drowning, and the other friend saved him. When he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE".
The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him, "Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now you write on a stone?
The other friend, smiling, replied: "When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness get in charge of erasing it away, and when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it"
1. Learn to write in the sand, when u have difference and hurted feelings with ur friend.
2. Learn to write in stone when ur friend had something done really good to you.
it's been a week since my last post and while i was browsing my mails i found this one...
for "YOU", just wanted you to know that everything you did that somehow hurted my feeling are all written in the sand... but all things that you done to me that made me feel special and loved are written in stone...
if there is one thing i really wanted to do right now... it's talking to "someone" whom i really misses so much... but i guess evrything will fall into it's proper place... it may not be right now but i believe that our path will cross again and everything will be alright...
for now, i just want you to TAKE GOOD CARE and ALWAYS BE HAPPY...

... a message of MOTIVATION ...
Every day should be a good day and we should live it like it's our last.
Some people live a life of anger, frustration, pain, jealousy, and/or dishonesty, but all of these things will come to pass when our time here is over. Just take a moment to think. we will not be on this earth forever. One day, we will not have to worry about going to work or how we will make all the payments. We will not have to worry where our next meal will come from, or how we can buy that million dollar worth of house.
At anytime, God could take us off of this earth, so we should appreciate today and not worry about tomorrow, for nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.(Proverbs 27:1)
When we wake up each morning, thank the Lord for waking up.
When lying down to sleep, thank the Lord for another day.
If we have job, thank the Lord for the employment and asks taht He may bless us in everything we do. Ask him to give us the knowledge and the wisdom to do our job. If any case that we don't have any job, thanks Him anyway and ask Him to direct us to the job that is right for us.
When eating breakfast, lunch or dinner, say a prayer and thank the Lord for providing food and nourishment for our body.
If we're healthy, thank the Lord for the health and strength in our body. If not, thank Him anyway for life, and ask him to heal our body.
So the next time that we get mad, think twice.
The next time we complain about something at our job, think twice.
The next time we say we wish we had steak instead of chicken, think twice.
Be thankful for what we have, and the life that God has given us.
Pray and ask the Lord for guidance. Be sincere, as GOD knows whether or not we mean it from our heart, and not so we can get a pat on the back. Put forth the extra effort in everything that we do. Go after what we want in life, and do whatever it takes to achieve our goals.
No matter how perfect we think we are, there is always a room for improvement and an opportunity for us to do better.
If depressed, don't cry... just hold our head up and the Lord will help us through (...these happen to me many many times!). Pray and ask the Lord to deliver us from our state of depression. Whatever is that we are depressed about, God will take the pain from our heart. It may not be at that moment, or the next hour, or maybe not even the next day... but He will do it... we just have to believe in Him.
GOD may not show up when we want him to, but HE's ALWAYS right on time.
GOD will not give us more than we can bear.
Sometimes he will present us with issues that will test our faith, but we have to be strong enough to believe that God will do exactly what HE says.
The message for today is to...
Praise the Lord...
Have faith in the Lord...
Give thanks to the Lord...
and live every day like it is your last...
Theoretically speaking, if the Lord never does anything else for us, other than wake up each day, put food in our mouths and clothes on our back, we should thank Him anyway. He died so that we could have LIFE of this earth.
Worth sharing, isn't it?
GOD Bless us ALL!!!

.:: the interview with GOD ::.
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”
“That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.”
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”
“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”
“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said,
“Just know that I am here... always.”

.:: Lord, your the Best!!! ::.
ang galing talaga ni Lord...
wala ako masabi...
ang bait nya sakin kahit na "pasaway" ako...
minsan di ko na alam kung deserve ko pa yung lahat ng binibigay nya sakin...
i know that "THANK YOU" is not enough dahil hindi lang isa, dalawa or tatlo beses ko napatunayan na "special" ako sa kanya (though we're all special to HIM)...
i may not be good in everything and there are so many times that i disappointed HIM but still HE really never give up on me...
kaya eto lang masasabi ko...
"LORD, your the BEST!!!"

just finished watching Smallville S4E17 and and E18... E17, wherein Lex Luthor split into two personality...
his good and evil side...
there is this conversation of Chloe and Clark that somehow strucks me...
Chloe: ...people have a lot of different sides and sometimes they keep those sides hidden even from the ones that they loved.
Clark: sometimes you have to even if that does not what you want.
Chloe: yeah, but sooner or later you have to trust someone what was in your heart otherwise you'll gonna end up going thru life alone...
...and i agree that we do have lots of different sides and that we're afraid that others may knew about it.
...it's not that we don't trust them especially the one's we love but sometimes we have to let it hidden 'coz we don't know how will they react or how are they going to accept once they knew about it.
...SAD but it's TRUE...

04.23.05.Saturday
5:00am, gising na ako and preparing myself for the training that morning... i arrived there around 5:30 pero konti pa lang mga team mates ko na andun... so we wait until dumami na ang tao... since madami na naman ang late (hmmm, what's new...) it's already past 7am na ng makababa kami... we row..row...row at the middle of the bay for exactly 40mins without rest... (gosh... gusto na talaga bumigay ng arms ko that time... as in feeling ko mabibitawan ko na ang "sagwan" ko...) before 8am nakabalik na kami sa parking lot and there as usual... sermon na naman ang almusal namin from our trainor... sermon dito! sermon doon! haaaaayyyyyy... pagod ka na nga sesermonan ka pa... (ano ba naman kasi itong pinasok ko na ito... hehehe) but anyweiz, may point naman sya... na if we really want to win at any race... kailangan ng determination at sacrifice... madami kasi talaga ang "pasaway" (i'm not saying that i am not... i just hope i am not one of them...) i just wait for my friend tapos uwi na kami 'coz i decided to take my shower na lang sa bahay kasi puno ang CR and mahirap maligo that time...
pagdating ko ng haus... ligo, linis ng konti then prepare na para naman pumasok sa office... ginising ko pinsan ko and tell her "oi, gising na... tanghali na, sikat na ang araw..." uuwi pa kasi sya ng province eh di pa sya nakakapag prepare ng gamit nya... while on our room kwentuhan kami about something... as usual tinatamad ako kumilos kasi masarap pa matulog... sarap din kasi ng kwentuhan naming dalawa... what about? hehehe basta interesting sya... i leave the haus at around 10:45am and i reached the office past 12 na kasi sobra traffic sa may expressway...
then i remember that my tita txted me the night before asking if i don't have any plans of visiting them... (she misses me so much... hehehe) so i decide to call her na lang...
then somebody on the other line answered asking "sino ka?" then i said "yung maganda mo pong pamangkin..." (sabay tawa...) "ay wala akong kilalang maganda na hindi ako binibisita...", sagot ng tita...
it was our usual conversation of me and my tita (wife of my uncle-brother of my mom)... naglambing ang tita ko at gusto nya na punta ako ng haus nila (Dasma, Cavite) but i told her na asa offcie pa ako but she insisted na after office daw dun na lang ako umuwi... wala na ako maisip na ma-reason kaya "okei, cge na nga po... pupunta na ako dyan after office..." sabi ko... "yan, dala ka ng ice cream ha...", request nya... haaaaayyy, tita talaga... hehehe
we(me, my boss & one of my ofcmate) leave the office by 4:30pm kasi we're going to attend the baptismal reception ng officemate ko... i haven't eaten my lunch yet kaya sobrang gutom talaga ako... i leave there early din kasi nga uuwi pa ako ng Dasma... past 7pm asa Dasma na ako looking for a Grocery Store kung san ako makakabili ng ice cream na request ng tita ko... pagdating ko naman ng bahay wala naman sila kasi nagsimba... we had dinner pero di ako kumain since busog pa nga ako... ice cream lang din kinain ko... nakipagkulitan sa pinsan ko... surf the net and visit my friéndstér account pero wala ako maisip isulat that night kaya di na ako ng blog... i slept early kasi antok na antok na din ako and i need to wake up early for the next day kasi uuwi pa ako ng dorm before i met one of my teammate kasi pupunta kami ng divisoria...
...sarap ng tulog ko!!!
04.24.05.Sunday
5:00am, tunog alarm clock ko pero antok pa din ako so i decided to reset it to 6:00am... so tulog ulit ako ng konti... then by 6am wala na ako choice kasi kailangan ko na bumangon or else baka di ako umabot sa meeting time namin kasi baka abutan pa ako ng traffic ng Aguinaldo Hi-way. I just washed my face, brush my teeth, comb my hair ng konti at alis na ako... i decided na sa dorm na lang maligo since ala din naman ako dala damit kasi biglaan lang pagpunta ko dun... (hehehe... di ako naligo pero di naman obvioud eh...) 7:15am na ata ako nakadating ng dorm... naisip ko parang gusto ko pa matulog since 830-9am pa naman ang usapan namin pero baka lalo ako tamarin kaya ayun... ligo-bihis-alis ulit ng bahay... by 8:30 andun ako sa parking lot waiting... and waiting... and waiting... haaaaayyyyy... ang tagal naman kasi kumilos eh... (sana natulog na nga lang muna ako...) past 10 when we leave the parking lot and we're on our way to Divisoria... gutom na kami lahat kaya the first thing we did was to eat pagdating namin dun... (away-away muna habang kumakain kasi gutom lahat eh... hehehe) past 11:00am when we started our shopping galore... (as if madami kami pera...) pasok dito... pasok doon... pili dito... pili doon... sukat dito at sukat doon... nakakapagod huh... sakit na ang paa ko sa kakalakad namin... nakabili ako ng isang board shorts, a two-piece bathing suit (...lakasan lang naman ng loob para masuot yun!) at isang dietied na pants... we stop at McDonalds for a while and wait for one of our teammate... (tagal sobra kaya super mega kwentuhan muna kami sa McDo kasi pagod na lahat...) tapos na ang isang araw ng kagastusan... (para dumaan lang sa mga kamay ko ang pera... my gosh...) ayyyy... hindi pa pala kasi punta pa kami sa isang outdoor shop to buy slippers... grabe ang init sobra... after that uwian na...
pero ayoko pa umuwi kasi wala naman ako gagawin sa bahay and same as one of my friend so we decided to na lang na tumambay muna ng Glorietta... but before that uwi muna kasi sa haus nila kasi gusto nya magpalit ng clothes kasi mukha na daw syang "ewan"... hehehe (...pero ako carry pa... cutie pa rin syempre... hehehe) 5:00pm asa G4 na kami still undecided kung ano gagawin namin dun naisipan na lang namin tingnan kung ano ang maganda mapanood... (knowing na wala na kami pareho pera... pero we still manage to budget it...) we decided to watch "Guess Who" and it was a nice movie... tawa kami ng tawa... (Comedy movie kasi). the movie ended at around 8:00pm at since wala na kami pareho pera... ano pa gagawin naming dalawa... kaya uwi na kami...
on our way to Ayala, ewan ko ba kung bakit na-open ang topic about "ex's"... hehehe! ganun kasi kami nun eh sa dami ng napapagkwentuhan pag magkasama kami kung anu-ano na lang ang mga bagay-bagay na nauungkat... cguro nagtatalo kami dun sa isang part ng movie wherein sinabi na in marriage... "the women thinks that they're always correct" basta something like that... then he started asking me
"pano kung balikan ka ng ex mo, ano gagawin mo? tatanggapin mo ba sya ulit?" sabay tingin sakin with a smile na parang nang-aasar waiting for my response...
"depende!", sagot ko naman...
"depende? eh kala ko ba over ka na? bakit depende ang sagot mo?", sabi nya
"lam mo kasi ayoko magsalita ng tapos... mahirap yun... paano kung sabihin ko na "hindi" tapos mangyari nga yun and maramdaman ko na mahal ko pa sya... bakit ako magpapaka-ipokrita para di sya tanggapin di ba... or pano kung sabihin ko naman na "oo" tapos kung mangyari man yun pero wala na naman ako feelings sa kanya at may mahal na akong iba... kaya "it depends" on the situation...", sabi ko!
"and hello... i don't think it will happen okei...", dagdag ko pa...
"sabagay... di ba sabi mo nga ikakasal na sya...", sabi nya
"actually, i just heard it lang from our common friend... that he has plans of getting married nga...", explain ko pa rin...
then we reached Ayala... dun na kami naghiwalay dalawa... he ride a bus going home and me too ride a bus going home also... (magkahiwaly kasi magkaiba route namin eh...)
nakakapagod na araw... pero enjoy naman...
dapat matutulog na ako pero nag-aya pa mag-laro ng tong-it pinsan ko at bf nya kaya ayun laro kami till 11pm... super antok na talaga ako kaya natalo tuloy ako ng mahigit P25... sayang yun... pamasahe ko na din yun for the first day...
actually, alam ko di pa din buo ang araw ko kasi meron akong isang bagay na hindi nagawa... and i guess HE's disappointed in me... so I promised to myself na gagawin ko talaga yun the next day and wala na din naman ako magagawa that day kasi late na but i know it's my fault also kaya humingi na lang ako ng sorry... and i know HE will understand naman...
kaya masarap pa din ang tulog ko...
......zzzz...zzz....zzz...zzz...zzz...zzz...zzz...zzz......

i just can't forget the last night episode on Full House:
yung scene na umiiyak si Justin while reminiscing those happy times with Jessie...
and on the other side umiiyak din si Jessie while reminiscing those happy times with Justin...
kung san kumakain si Luigi at Jessie at sinabi ni Luigi kay Jessie:
Luigi: hindi ka ba nahihirapan ngayon na mag-isa ka na lang?
Jessie: okei lang ako kasi sanay naman ako ng mag-isa at hindi naman talaga ganun kadali ang buhay
Luigi: okei lang ba sayo na kasama mo ako kumain at uminom ng tea araw-araw?
Jessie: araw-araw?
Luigi: oo araw-araw kasi gusto kitang makasama araw-araw... hindi ba halata na nagpa-propose na ako sa yo?
Jessie: Luigi, alam mo naman na kaka-divorce ko pa lang at hindi ganun kadali ang lahat.
Luigi (smiles): okei, pero maghihintay pa din ako...
haaaayyyyyy... bakit nga ba ang hirap turuan ng puso na magmahal?
go Jessie... "kaya mo yan!"
hehehe...

.. my frièndstèr bloggie ..
i just finished my first entry in my friéndstér bloggie but it doesn't mean that i'm transferring huh... it won't happen 'coz i love this one... blogdrive is very important to meeh... yep, there are so many free bloggie out there but this one is different... the effort that i exerted here... whoaa... di ko na ata mauulit lahat ng ginawa ko dito... hehehe...
but anyweiz, i am sure naman na di ko palagi ma-update yun eh kasi in the first place wala naman na kami connection sa frièndstèr sa office... unlike blogdrive kahit anong oras pwede ako mag-post... i just hope hindi malaman ng netwrok admin namin that blogdrive does exist... hehehe. dahil pag nagkataon at mangyari yun baka pati ito i-restrict na... (waaaahhhh... buhay ko na ito eh...)
it's past 12:00am already at and2 pa din ako sa suking internet shop ko doing this thing... tinapos ko pa kasi ang "FullHouse" (Kapuso) at "Stained Glass" (Kapamilya)... haaaayyy, those 2 Koreanovela are the reasons why i go home early now... even gimiks minsan tinatamad na ako kasi i don't want to miss one episode of it... iba kasi feeling pag sinusubaybayan tapos meron mami-miss na scene... ewan ko ba ano nakain ko at nakahiligan ko na manood... ang alam ko lang it started with "Meteor Garden" (Kapamilya) na talaga namang pinagpupuyatan ko (have a vcd copy of it kasi) tapos sinundan ng "Lover's in Paris" (Kapamilya) at ng "Stairway to Heaven" (Kapuso) na nilamay ko till 4am para lang matapos ko kasi hindi ko na mahintay ang ending sa tv... siguro it's because the story of those Koreanovela are much more realistic compared to Phil Telenovelas...
kahit hindi masaya ang ending at most of the time namamatay ang bida... kasi it's the reality naman eh... hindi lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay "happy ending"... wala na tayo sa panahon ng "fairy tales" kung san bawat "princess" may hinihintay na "prince" and "they will live happily ever after"...
hindi ako bitter or anything... ang sa akin lang naman why wait for the "prince" or for the "knight in shining armor" na magliligtas sayo sa "dragon" or sa "wicked stepmother"... kung ikaw mismo kaya mo naman sila takasan...
it's just a matter of choice...
pwede kang maging forever na bihag ng "dragon" or patuloy na magpaapi sa "wicked stepmother" pero kung gugustuhin mo... pwede ka din lumaban at kayang kaya mo silang matalo... kailangan mo lang ng lakas ng loob, tiwala sa sarili at higit sa lahat never forget HIM and ask for some help... hindi ganun kadali ang makipaglaban pero kung alam mo na hindi ka nag-iisa kasi at alam mo na andyan SYA... "sisiw" lang yan kasi naniniwala ka na hindi ka NYA pababayaan kahit na ano pa ang mangyari...
LIFE is HARD... sabi nga di ba? pero kung hahayaan natin na lamunin na lang tayo ng paniniwala na mahirap ang buhay... walang mangyayari...
just be positive and never forget to thank HIM...

Reflection
(OST-Mulan)
Look at me i will never pass for a perfect bride
or a perfect daughter
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 this part
Now I see that if I were truly to be myself
I would brake my family's heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show who I am inside
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...
-----------------------------------oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-----------------------------------
is it really hard to be "YOU"?
so many times i've asked myself:
"Why do i have to be someone else if i can be me?"
"Why did i have to lie to those people around me?"
"Why is it really hard for me to accept this reality of being me?"
my answer is simply...
"because i don't want them to know the real me..."
maybe some people will say that they really knew me...
i maybe friendly and sweet to my friends...
i maybe a responsible daughter to my parents...
i maybe a good sister to my siblings...
i maybe a good follower to the elders and higher rank...
but they don't know me as "ME"...
'coz as of this time "NO ONE" can really tell who the real "ME" is except HIM...
