HS

Im happy because we had a High School reunion in time with our teacher's birthday..

Ang dami naming napag-kwentuhan...buti naman nga walang umiyak sa asar hehehe...after ten years we came back to the era na hindi pa kami nag - iisip ng kung anu-ano parang naglalaro lang kami nuon..hehehe..

Surprisingly, ang talino pa rin ni Sir...Ang galing ng memoraya, ang galing ng mga kwento, ang galing ng paninindigan. Kaya nga mahal na mahal namin siya. Hindi lang siya magaling magturo..naiiintindihan niya pa kami...up until now..

Kahit walang tulog .. ang sarap ng pakiramdam .. parang nakaupo lang kami dun relax .. kwentuhan .. tawanan .. ngitian ... asaran ... heart-warming...

Nagpapasalamat ako at nakasama ko kayo lahat. Salamat kasi binigyan tayo ng mabait na guro..Nagpapasalamat ako at naging matiwasay naman ang High School days ko with all of you..my clasamates..

Kita-kits ulet..

a long time ago

A story tells that two friends were walking
through
the desert. During some
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 saying anything, 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
had been slapped got stuck in the mire and
started drowning, but the friend saved him.
After he recovered from the near
drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.




The friend who had slapped and
saved his best friend asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the
sand and now, you write on a stone,
why?" The other friend replied "When someone
hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds
of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone
does something good for us, we must engrave
it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

I realized that i really have to spend more time expressing myself here...;)
making it more personal..a self-expression..really...
sometimes i felt very negative and lazy(a very bad combination) that i tend to express myself by locking myself in the room...passing time.
I dont know sometimes when i have a problem or i have some issues hanging like gallows above my head, i just sleep..slept my time through it..bad huh?
Now i thank the Lord. He have given me a talent for music and arts..
Its much easier to sing or play a guitar...
Or mixing colors or seeing depths in a simple view outside the window..
even the fishes in our aquarium have some distinct colors shinning...
i love details...i love colors...

Just now i remember a girl said..
"One day is not enough for all the thoughts in my mind..
for all the roads i'd like to take,for all the friends i'd love to see, and for all the things i would love to do."

Same here...

decision making 101

The story given below is quite interesting and
really gives us an insight into DECISION MAKING.
Which one will you choose?
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused.
Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make.
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child.
You might think the same way, I guess.
Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday.
In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.
The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.The friend who forwarded me the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that the track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.
If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.
"Remember that what's right isn't always popular...and what's popular isn't always right."
.....I have let my self in... a situation that was quite confusing...
.....It brought smiles, and sighs, and anticipation...
.....I received a sweet note from a friend and I felt my tears down my cheeks without ever realizing it... It was the phrase I missed and so longed to hear... to hear it from the one person I miss... I let my emotions took over me... I understand.....because soon I know.. these too shall pass....
.....No holding back... just taking my time...

believe..its what they say


Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two


1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a person, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

More of a... random thoughts .....

There was just a time when I went to a church or churches (i guess) sat down and wept. Poured my heart out. I guess that time, it was... maybe... just what i need.

And i guess i'm asking questions that really matters..about the life you're living in...your life experiences...simple and plain as it may be. And not the ones that were already answered by experts....

I knew someone that knows what to speak of/about at the right situations..at the right moment...making it simple yet compelling. Making everyone else follow to the wave he have started...
