To laugh often and much; to win the respect of
intelligent people and the affection of ; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy , a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to
have succeeded.

He: Go on. Don’t be shy. Ask me out.
She: Okay. Get out.
He: Can I have your name?

Last Song Syndrome

There’s nothing nicer than a tune playing in your head ‒ until you can’t turn it off. I’m sure everybody else experienced this sort of thing. People around here called this LSS or Last Song Syndrome. I don’t know if you guys heard about this.
Last Song Syndrome ‒ when the last song you hear plays like a broken record inside your head and you find yourself singing that song over and over again.
This could get annoying and embarrassing especially if people around you notice that you have been singing that song since morning until the end of the day heh… Well, today I’ve been singing the song “I Believe in You and Me” by Whitney Houston. I heard it last night over the radio, I got captured by the song, I loved the lyrics and voila I can’t get it off my head. I’m writing down the lyrics of this song here in my blog with high hopes that in doing this I will get cured from this syndrome. 
I Believe in You and Me
(Whitney Houston)
I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You will always be the one for me
Oh yes you will
And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I’m free
Cos’ I believe in you and me
I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down
See I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you boy
I will never leave you out
I will always let you in
To places no one’s ever been
Deep inside, can’t you see
That I believe in you and me
Maybe I’m a fool
To feel the way I do
But I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever
I believe in miracles
And love’s a miracle
And yes baby you’re my dream come true
I was lost, now I’m free
I believe in you and me
See I was lost, now I’m free
’cause I believe in you and me.

Twenty Dollars
(Author Unknown)
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."

I just got back from my vacation. Me and my went back home to visit mom for her birthday. Mom's birthday is usually a family reunion for us. I had fun. It's nice to be with family again. It's nice seeing how we have all grown both physically and in number too, with all the additional members of the family (husbands, wives, babies and nannies too). It's nice to have a big family, you will never get bored, hehehe... Well, i'm now back to my nice little place here and of course back to work. I'm looking forward of the next vacation on christmas...

Today, I feel sad. I'm mourning the loss of what I thought was a wonderful possibility. It’s so sad how a single mistake can change everything. I feel bad of things said. I feel terrible I hurt the person. I feel terrible because I think I’m losing that person. I believe in second chances... But i believe too that maybe some things are just not meant to be...

Kahlil Gibran on Love
|
Posted:Aug 7, 2006 6:39 pm
Last Updated:Jun 18, 2010 9:20 pm 7820 Views

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Rainy days are here again...

Rainy days are here again. I know most people hate the rains. But I don't. For me, rain is so beautiful. It is mysterious and evokes interesting feelings, thoughts, memories and even hopes. Rain is the theme of many poems and songs. Some famous paintings too portray the different moods of rain in its varied forms. The music of rain is also heart throbbing. Its romantic tune makes our heart long for the mystic beauty of raindrops falling all around. Rain brings back old memories of the childhood days of playing with paper boats in water puddles. Of embracing mother at the sound of thunder and lightning. Of raindrops carving out numberless pictures in the courtyard. And the undescribable joy of running around jumping in rain puddles, enjoying rain bath with all the other .
I have always loved the rain. And now that I'm older, rain gives special sweetness of a simple cuddle under those sheets or a special comfort of just curling up in a cozy chair reading a nice book. But my favorite is enjoying the warmth of sharing a cup of coffee and a nice talk with that special someone while looking at the raindrops outside the window. It's also fun getting drenched in the rain with that special someone. Not being able to experience these moments now because of the busy schedules (and maybe nobody to share it with  ) makes me long for more rain...
I know rain gives headache too, like getting stuck in traffics, flooding, landslides, etc...
But I still choose to enjoy the beauty and magic of the rain.

When I Close My Eyes

When i close my eyes,
i imagine your presence right here with me,
the thought of you being near.
When i close my eyes,
i see you here in front of me
touching your hair as it falls over your face
feeling the creases on your cheeks
your smile consumes me,
your eyes captures my soul
your sweet voice,
echoing through my muddled thoughts.
When i close my eyes,
i’m lost,
imagining your touch,
the way your fingers tremble across my skin
i feel the tenderness of your fingers,
as you take my hand in yours
When i close my eyes,
i feel the warmth of your arms around me,
as you hold me tight,
the softness of your lips against mine
When i close my eyes,
i am there with you,
so so close...
it has been a long while since i wrote my last poem...while looking at my collection of poems, there was one that i really liked and touched me so deeply...and it inspired me to write this...
