- In 20 years youll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you cant grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
- Youre not as fat as you imagine
- Do one thing everyday that scares you
- Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts
- Dont put up with people who are reckless with yours
- Remember the compliments you receive
- Forget the insults
- DO NOT READ BEAUTY MAGAZINES, they will only make you feel ugly
- Get to know your parents
- You never know when theyll be gone for good
- Be nice to your siblings
- They are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future
- Understand that friends come and go
- But for the precious few you should hold on
- Dont mess too much with your hair
- Or by the time youre 40, it will look 85
- Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it

For the past months, the prices of food has gone up all over the world. Food prices went up to it's peak that added mournings to most of the less fortunates. Some has even reported food shortages on their areas. Is this the start of humanitarian crisis?
I was jumping through different sites when I found one of the best sites I've been. I didn't know that in my own little way I can help on the looming food shortages.
You want to know how simple it is to help? First, you must go to free rice site. They have this word game that you need to guess the meaning of a word. For each word you get right, they donate 20 grains of rice through the UN Food Program to fight hunger.
I tried my luck and I ended up happy reaching 600 grains of rice. If I have more free time, I'll aim to have higher.
Now if you are free now, go and start helping. You might want to spread the news to your friends so we can get more grains. :)

Despite of the fact that I'm happy with my page rank now, I've finally decided to move to a new space. I've been keeping this blog for quite a long time and it's sad to leave.

This was sent to me by my former boss a year ago. I was scanning my emails to delete some of the unnecessary emails in my inbox for ages until I found this one. It will not consume much of your time but you will definitely learn something. :)
LESSON ONE
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?" The eagle answered: "Sure, why not?" So the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
MANAGEMENT LESSON
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
LESSON TWO
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
MANAGEMENT LESSON
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
LESSON THREE
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
MANAGEMENT LESSON
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut.
This ends your three minute management course.

I am not a typical 23 year old gal. I'm odd and unique in my own ways. Definitely not a kikay and not pretending to be one. Yes, i'm not friendly, i don't socialize. I do get easily annoyed with social climbers and idiots. Yes, i do not belong to that. Don't care either. You cannot see me in any disco or bar. I do not smoke. I do not drink alcoholic beverages. I don't gamble. Don't take recreational drugs. My smile is very expensive. You will seldom see me smiling or throw jokes. That is because i pick my friends and i keep them. I easily can tell if we would click as friends or enemies. I do observe each word that will come out of your mouth. The way you speak may not necessarily reflect what your personality is but i watch their meaning and how you deliver them. I am transparent. What you see is what you get as they say. I do not go for bola-bola's. I mean every word that i say. I may say words that may offend you. I believe that is my strength thou. I am strict. I have a mirror personality effect. I will treat you the way you treat me. You may think that you know me well but you don't. You cannot befriend me easily. If you win my heart and trust, you win it forever. I'll be loyal and true to you. I can tell if you are bluffing or telling the truth. I can read your mind but you can't read mine. Sounds crazy
?
This may sound confessions 101 but don't open your mouth yet unless i say so. This is my blog, my world, my territory. I am the main character. You are just an extra so better be careful with what you say. I watch you.

This is wonderful song... Trust me, you will be dying to download this song... Hay, it makes my heart melt hoping that one day I'll be able to walk down the isle with him... *wink*
Two Words
Artist: Lea Salonga
In a while, in a word,
Every moment now returns.
For a while, seen or heard,
How each memory softly burns.
Facing you who brings me new tomorrows,
I thank God for yesterdays,
How they led me to this very hour,
How they led me to this place...
Every touch, every smile,
You have given me in care.
Keep in heart, always I'll,
Now be treasuring everywhere.
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I hold this moment true?
No trace of sadness,
Always with gladness...
"I DO..."
(instrumental)
Now a song that speaks of now and ever,
Beckons me to someone new,
Unexpected, unexplored, unseen,
Filled with promise coming through.
In a while, in a word,
You and I forever change,
Love so clear, never blurred,
Has me feeling wondrous, strange,
And if life should come to just one question,
Do I face each moment true?
No trace of sadness, always with gladness,
"I DO..."
Never with sadness...
Always with gladness...
"I...DO...."

I should really keep my mouth shut. I see myself being so talkative lately and barking up a lot lately. If there's a lot of advantages being frank, the disadvantages are doubled. Too bad my kaututang dila is not always around. I can only talk to her via text. We usually exchange our points of view when we were still together. I really can't expect much of my new set of false friends. Their so unbelievable! It's really hard to be 'plastic'! So so damn hard! Instances leave me no choice but to be one and I really hate it! Good thing i have this blog to burst out! If you're one of Mr. Love Me's disciple, here's for you: Go to hell! You are so damn qualified to be there!
I just love to post these quotes I saw in
American Idol: My Idol blog. Feel free to copy and paste them. I just love them dearly!
Everything happens for a reason. The hard part is figuring out what that reason is.
My friends rock. You're jealous. End of story.
Halloween is over, so stop pretending to be something you're not.
It's cool that you hate me. I'd be jealous too, if i was you.
Just be yourself, and if people don't like it, well, f*ck 'em!
FAKE---it's the latest trend..........and everyone seems to be in style.
It's better to be hated for who you are then to be loved for who your not.
GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME? *solve it. THINK I'M TRIPPING? *tie my shoes. CAN'T STAND ME? *sit down. CAN'T FACE ME? *turn around.
A real girl isn't perfect & a perfect girl isn't real.
Hate all you want, but you can't break a girl that thinks nothing of you.
Always forgive your enemies-----nothing annoys them so much.
Aren't they cute? Lol. So if these guys don't stop and I am still flaring up. Watch out!

If
Pinoy Big Brother has a big day, I have mine too. Yes, this is my big day. Well, perhaps I should say this was my big day. Lol, whatever!
I was not supposed to hand the resignation today but mother nature forced me to. This morning, I went to an internet cafe to print my letters and certification but it all turned out to crap. My old flash drive got a virus and the letters were not printed. Their computers really suck and I have no choice but to get my USB and leave. I decided to wake up early for me to head over the nearest cafe. Guess what? I woke up at 8 p.m. Funny right? So what I did was to postpone my resignation.
Few minutes after, i got a text message from my buddy
Daisy that the 13th month pay was given to the morning shift folks. I was not happy to hear that. I have to rush printing my letters because the big bosses might think that i just handed my resignation because I got the pay already. What the hell?! I jumped on the bed and decided to prepare real quick. Luckily, i was able to have my letters printed but not my certificate. For some reasons, the background won't show up on their PCs. Okay the, the letters were fine.
I handed the letters to the supervisor and went to my desk. As expected, they chatted with me and asked if it's my final decision and if I have no hard feelings at all. Well, yeah I don't have any hatreds now. Let bygones be bygones. We all have to move on. I might be easily angered but I really do not live with it. The longest time maybe a day. Well it depends if you're really a jerk, i might extend it. Now to continue, topics were discussed, the usual 'bola' was still there but I am decided. It was kinda sad leaving my officemates but I have to. It was great being with them even just for a short period of time but I will not be sticked here forever. Actually, none of them knows about it. What shocked me was a message from my ex-officemate, dreamboy. Haha! Okay fine, he was my crush before. You win. Probably he has this skill to know everything when it comes to technology. He might be reading this as well.
(Ikaw jan ha... =p)
O pano, I have to continue working. I have to finish my remaining items until I leave. I hope I could. Wish me luck. ^_^

Just want to share a sensible topic on
Yahoo featured articles. You might want to check this out 'cause it's really worth reading. Goodluck! =)

3 Ways to Handle Anger Before Anger Handles You
"Feelings are much like waves. We can't stop them from coming, but we can choose which one to surf." -Jonatan Mårtensson
In the Western world, we think of strength as big muscles, heavy weights, physical power. But in the ancient Eastern cultures, strength means something entirely different. The yogis think of strength more as an ability to overcome powerful emotions such as anger and jealousy.
In the heat of the moment, a normal person (myself included) will want to lash out. In her song "
White Trash Deco," country singer Cynthia Ford catches her husband cheating and responds with anger and jealousy by maxing out his credit cards to
misdecorate his house. The words go like this:
So don't write any checks cuz they'll just bounce back
Don't use the credit cards cuz they're all at the max
But don't worry, babe, I spent it all on you
To go along with all the cute little things you do
Oh, I've wanted so long just to wring your neck, oh
Instead I redid your house in White Trash Deco
Is this the best way to respond to anger? Probably not. Can most of us relate to it? Hell, yeah! But if we cultivate the rare ability to overcome powerful emotions, we make better decisions. So much of life comes down to the decisions we make in intense, pivotal moments.
Here are some tips on dealing with anger so you can walk proud on your finest path through life:
1. Remember that anger and love are two sides of the same coin
If you really want love in your life, you must be willing to spend a little time with love's less comfortable relatives, anger and pain. It's common to think that with anger and pain come breakup and divorce. But the bottom line is the more you love someone, the more
able they are to piss you off. So be aware: Anger and intense emotion are normal when you truly love and care. Mel McDaniel sings about this two-sided coin in "
Anger and Tears":
Anger and tears, anger and tears
Is that all that's left of us after loving all these years
As slowly as love grows how soon it disappears
In a house full of anger and a heart full of tears
Remember, true strength is being able to work through the anger rather than letting the anger work through you.
2. Before you lash out, look within
When you're struggling with anger, it's common to blame others for every little thing. A true sign of strength is taking responsibility for yourself. In "
Startin' with Me," Jake Owen comes to a very yogic resolution to dealing with anger:
If I had a dime for half the things I did that didn't make no sense at all
I'd be living a little higher on the hog
If only I'd have known
That later on down the road
I'd look back and not like what I see
I'd have changed a lot of things
Startin' with me
3. Practice feeling without reacting
The 6,000-year old practice of yoga teaches that when you are in challenging situations, you make the best decisions in even the worst of situations if you just breathe and relax. Try it: Lift your arms to the sides of your body and hold them so you form a letter "T." Allow your arms to stay parallel to the ground for 2, 3, even 4 minutes. When your shoulders start to burn, notice that by breathing and relaxing, you gain more endurance. There's very little that physical strength, hustle, and effort can do you for you in this situation. As a famous Zen proverb reads: "Nothing on earth can overcome an absolutely nonresistant person."
