One True Thing

2008-09-26T10:14:00.000-07:00

There is always something that will dampen our spirits, bring us down make us lose our belief in our ambitions and dreams, even our belief in ourselves.This is reality, this is life.But there is one thing that we should never lose despite the setbacks and the frustrations- ITS OUR FAITH IN GOD. I am trying to make sense out of the things that are happening around us and problems that beset us. somehow we just lose ourselves in all these. Yes, we are always caught in situations we cant control.Sometimes we are mere pawns writing for someone to move us, caught in our own little square.But then again, even as pawns,we feel our own little power just as soon as brighter days come and we are moved, whether by opportunity or accident. Sometimes,we don’t know where to go.These are times when we crawl back into our shells asking ourselves where we should go, and heal our wounds.And when we are trapped in our shells,who do we turn to? GOD.Prayers makes us heal faster,make our spirits alive again, making us come out of our shells improved individuals. In times of depression,a lot of people think that there is no hope… but even in worst situations,Beautiful things can happen.One of these things is that become closer to God. People say it in different ways: How can one know the beauty of the rainbow with out seeing the rain? How can one feel happiness when one has not been sad?How can one be truly complete when he does not know how it feels to be incomplete?YES, it is true that one has to experience the downside to full appreciate the Upside.When the situation is getting worst,we sometimes forget our dreams and ambitions. Do not lose your faith in what you believe in, because they give you strength to go on. They are always there to make you feel better.And for every dark path you take,there is always light at the end of the tunnel. After every night time comes the dawn which will create new life. Don’t lose your hope and faith. They are limitless and boundless like God. All things change but one thing never does. Its God’s LOVE.So if your down and you feel that your out of touch with the things that are happening around you, you know that there is GOD who turn to.In times of trouble,they say that true friends will always be there to see you through the bad and good times.And even if you should feel that you are indeed alone there is always friends who will be there for you.And that is God and to all my friends you know who you are that count on me. So,when everything goes wrong,don’t forget that your faith will keep you going.Even if you are a pawn in your little square,God will be the and to move you and guide you where where you need to
go.Happy evening to all!

Finding Simple Joys

2008-09-26T09:59:00.000-07:00

Some people set very high ideals and some don`t. There is nothing wrong with them as long as they are attainable goals and not unreachable dreams. There are people who step on other’s foot conciously or unconsiously...just for them to get ahead. This is sometimes disguise as the drive to succeed. We worry about what other’s think of us, that is why we seek perfection wanting all the accolades, we are afraid to go wrong.There are those who forget to relax because they are too tied-up or whatever with their careers. Love of work is admirable but not at all times. We can be so workaholic but not to the extent that we`re giving up everything for it. When tension need to be released, we ought to do it, not at the expense of others… I’m not encouraging idleness. Far from it, I am simply asking when it was the last time we stop and look at everything around us with great optimism? when did we last experience calmness in watching the sunset, feeling light in going barefoot on sandy beaches, hearing nice music through the laughters of children, finding glee in gazing butterflies, being delightful for the smiles we get from strangers and many more…

Finding joys in simple things is not easy because it has to come FROM THE HEART like showing appreciation and kindness, the sincerity or lack of it registers on our face. But we can learn. Perhaps we can start by looking back, retracing our steps, until we back our real, amiable self with both feet on the ground. Then perhaps, with these we will learn how to live life to the fullest!!! Truly, we will say that finally were HOME.

The White House

2008-09-26T09:45:00.001-07:00

It was a fine night when we had a look and saw the White House. My first time ever to see the house where the president of the United States lives as well as his family. It is sorrounded by a steel fence and with trees around the sorroungdins. A pretty house and silent place, maybe because it was night when we were there. All cops around the house and of course gaurds. And we an`t even get through inside it.

I was so much excited to see the inside but noone can just go inthere unless u made an apoointment to the congressman of the state where u live. It`s kinda strict for me but i understand it why they made this rule because of what happened last 9-11-02. So for the security and safety of the president everybody must have to follow the rule or law in order for us to maintain a peaceful and safe place as well as fairness to everybody.

Alright the second day we were in DC, we went tosee the white house again at daytime. This time we went to the back side but for me still look like the front he he, cause still we stayed at the fence. Tousands of people were in there taking pictures and just looking the place. it`s even hard for us to take a picture with it as the background but i didn`t have hard time getting in to the crowd cause im pretty small(thats the good thing for tiny girls like me):-).

I really love the place and it was a great chance for me cause not everybody have been to this place and see this famous place in the world. I love to go for a visit there again someday. If u guys are interested to go there i wish you all enjoy!

A Visit To Washington DC

2008-09-26T09:35:00.000-07:00

Last month was my first time to visit Washington, DC. My husband and my father-in-law and of course me drove all the way there last August 28,2008 afternoon. It was pouring rain that day with lighting and thunderstorms. I can say a very bad day but still despite the heavy rain we made it to our destination safely.

It`s about 10 hours drive from our house to DC. We got there about 10 at night and looked right away for a hotel to stay. In short we stayed at holiday inn hotel for 2 days and 2 nights. i had so much fun and i really enjoyed exploring the whole state. Me and my husband were very happy together as we go to places, museums and libraries. He was never been in that place and so as me so the place is new to us and very interesting to see.

First night we went for a walk and of course we went to a bar and stayed out till 3:00 in the morning. and second day we went to see the everything in the city.

I love the placed and it is very interesting place and i`d love to go there again for the second time.

The Birthday Celebration of My Dad

2008-08-14T05:30:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday,August 9, was a very big day for my father-in-law. He just celebrated his birthday so me, my husband and him went out for a dinner and celebrated his birthday. Since he wanted something seafood we look online for the nearest restaurant wherein we can get seafood. So far the restaurant is in Hendersonville. It`s about 30 mins drive from our place but we still drove all the way there for the hope that its worth it.

So we got there and we ordered seafood and it was so good. We were really satisfied. We enjoyed our dinner and had fun eating our crabs and fish... We decided again to go there maybe next week.

So guys, if u wanna try good seafood go to BAY BREEZE SEAFOOD RESTAURANT AT HENDERSNVILLE NORTH CAROLINA.

Enjoy!!!

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

2008-08-07T07:49:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a very wonderful, interesting and fun for me. I did learned a lot on how to perform the so called CPR(Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).

I`ve never done this before and now i finally learned how to do it. This is not a hard thing to learn. And for me it is very interesting for u can do it anywhere in case u see an accident wherein people loss their breath and fainted. U can also do it in our home, restaurants or fast food whenever we see people choking. It`s a way to help them restore their breaths. This often happens to people with cardiac arrest, and to children and babies having respiratory attacks...

For me, it is worth knowing it for i can help people in times they needed. It`s really so helpful. I think this is the best so far that I`ve leaned in school for the last 2 weeks of my classes. I'm expecting to lean more ways on how to do first aid in my next classes.

Things to Know About Sleep

2008-08-06T03:45:00.000-07:00

We all know that sleep is a way of resting our mind and body. Without sleep we die.

Well, it`s early morning of Wednesday of August 6. As we woke up early today my husband went outside our house to smoke as he always does and he saw a lighting and thunderstorm. So then he asked me to come online and check the weather forecast of today. As i then opened my web browser which is yahoo, i saw the latest news which is about the 5 things to know about sleep. I was so much interested to read it and since my husband is getting late to work i did look at the weather first and when he left i did read it right away.

We all know that when we have trouble in sleeping at night it`s called insomia. It`s not only at night it an also happens daytime when we feel tiredness, lack of energy
difficulty concentrating, and irritability. But no matter how hard for us to sleep, the best way is to relax our mind and lay down and so we can sleep. there are three types of insomia; transient insomia, intermittent insomia, and chronic insomia.

According to the news there are five ways to know about sleep;
1. Sleeping better than we think- for average americans they should get 7 hours
sleep a day but researchers said we should have
at least 8 hours a day.
2. Less sleep as we age.-this is really true. as we get older we dont need much
sleep.
3. Sleep like a baby-multiple sleep or not a long sleep night. For some reasons
sometimes we can`t sleep continously throughout the night
and this is very common to elderly.
4.Animals exhibit a range of sleep-animals' sleep time varies. However, latter
extreme is not recommended for humans.
5.Getting used to being tired-night's sleep is within the reach of most of us if we follow these guidelines:
-Go to bed at the same time nightly.
-Set aside enough time to hit that golden 7 hours of sleep.
-Refrain from caffeine, heavy or spicy foods, and alcohol and other
optional medications that might keep you awake, four to six hours
fore bed-time.
-Have a pre-sleep routine so you wind down before you hop in.
-Block out distracting lights and noises.
-Only engage in sleep and sex in bed (no TV-watching, reading or eating).
-Exercise regularly but not right before bed.

I hope this is a good guidelines for us to have a good sleep. Alright lets all follow this!!!

Rally for State Trooper Shawn Blanton

2008-08-05T10:16:00.000-07:00

July the 26, was a designated day rally for the state trooper Shawn Blanton. He was been on service since 2006 and was killed early of June at Canton intestate 40. He was only 23 years old.

One night he was on duty and was SHOT. He stopped a truck with an invalid tag plate and was driven by a chinese guy at interstate 40 at Canton North Carolina. The guy who shot him was a 35 years old Chinese man and from Florida.

This rally was for the bikers. Almost 300 bikers were there and showed their support and symphaty to the state trooper. There was a 25 dollars donation for his family and with a free t-shirt and b-b-q lunch. Me and my husband donated 50 dollars then. It was a ride from Swanannoah North Carolina to Cherokee NC. It was almost a 2 hour ride but it was fun. I enjoyed so much so as my husband. Though it was raining when we left our house it didn`t bother us at all and throughout the ride the rain stopped.

It`s fun to be in the school

2008-08-05T10:10:00.000-07:00

I started my classes last July 28. I was so much excited and happy for i met different people which are my classmates right now. People of different cultures like me. It seems they`re all friendly to me.

Poison ivy hits my husband

2008-08-05T10:02:00.001-07:00

Last week of Tuesday, my husband started feeling itchy. First he thought it was cause by the chemicals he used at work or the new TIDE laundry detergent i used to wash our bed sheets and clothes. So then we didn`t really expect that it was the poson ivy. So then i changed our sheets and rewash again his clothes(haha it`s kinda funny). He didn`t bother him that day until the next days come his body started to get itchy. We`ll, i scratch everynight, everyday and as soon he gets home from work. Then his feet started to swell and i so much worried. I told him go to hospital last friday but he didn`t like it so we waited Saturday but the Medical Center was close till Monday. We headed then right away to the pharmacy and get some stuff for his feet and itchiness. We bought some ointment, lotion and powder. Still didn`t work and still swelling very bad. Then, yesterday he finally went to the doctor and gave him some medications... Hopefully it will get better as soon as possible... So guys, watch out for this plants they are really dangerous and poisonous...

Our new house

2008-08-05T09:57:00.000-07:00

It`s been a month since we moved to our new house here at Canton North Carolina. I love our house it`s really so comfortable for me. Though it`s not as big as our house in Florida i think this one is better. I like the weather here and of course the sorroundings. we have a very peaceful place and very relaxing.

Our house is sorrounded by bushes and trees at the back and we have a lil creek. Since it has a lot of bushes we`ve been working on it lately past 3 weekends now. Me and my husband worked together and its fun....

2008-07-25T16:28:00.000-07:00

Hmmm.... Really so ecxited to share the goodnews to you all folks. Well, well well... Ok here it is.. It`s been a dream of mine to learn how to drive a car and to have my own car. And now i think i finally got it.

Driving is very dangerous and risky for me. It needs concentration and lots of practice and being relax. I believe driving is fun because by then when u learned how to drive u can go anywhere else u wanted and explore places. In my life i never drive a car or a truck. So i was kinda happy the time my husband tought me how to drive. because he`s always i mean everyday at work i had a limited time to practice. I can only practice after he gets home from work and for few minutes. It was several weeks of practice after i went and get my liscence.

Experiencing “America’s Favorite Drive”

2008-06-18T12:29:00.000-07:00

First visit at the Blue Ridge Parkway. hundreds of beautiful thing u will admire...and i love it!

Being here at North Carolina for a month is a great stay for me. A lot of places to, sight seeing and adventure on mountains; Blur Ridge Parkway and Great smokey mountains, hiking on the Chimney Rock and bike riding.

Onetime we drove to the Blue Ridge Parkway, i had so much fun and by then i started to love beautiful mountains that i saw. It was so beautiful and relaxing. A peaceful and quiet place. The only sounds i heard was birds humming and rushing of the leaves. Of course, also the sounds from trucks and cars of people visiting. A drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway is slow paced and relaxing. Almost any overlook or trail will reveal much of the natural and cultural history here. Explore the many communities along the route that make the region so special. Enjoy the view, but watch the road or u may fall and roll down from more than 3000 ft elevation from the ground. When you reach the highest elevation u can lay down and relax on the grass. There`s no worries cause its safe and friendly, animals wont hurt u as long u wont mess with them.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is history waiting to be discovered! Although the road is often seen primarily as a scenic byway with plenty of natural attractions, it is also a cross-section of Appalachian mountain history. Stretching almost 500 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge mountains through North Carolina and Virginia, it encompasses some of the oldest settlements of both pre-historic and early European settlement. Visitors can trace much of the history of Appalachian culture by observing overlook signs, visitor center exhibits, restored historic structures, and developed areas, all of which reveal points of particular interest. For a complete listing of the Parkway's historic attractions, contact the areas you will be visiting.

The weather conditions high on the mountains can vary tremendously from the weather in the surrounding valleys or piedmont region. Carrying a jacket or some rain gear is always a good idea. Check forecasts before your trip to the mountains and always have a few emergency supplies in the trunk of your car.

The Blue Ridge Parkway ranges in elevation from about 650 feet at James River in Virginia to almost 6,050 feet at Richland Balsam, south of Mount Pisgah.

I wish everybody a safe and joyful visit to this America`s Favorite Drive!!! Drive safely and with cautions.... ENJOY!!!

Cooking- IT`S FUN AND EXCITING!

2008-06-18T11:35:00.000-07:00

My recipe for lunch!!!

Chinese Chow Min

Hey you ask, what's so special about your husband`s or wive`s cooking?

Did u ever ask yourself if you are a good cook? Wll, for me I'm pretty comfident enough i may be good but not really perfect.

Many women are good cooks. Yes, that may be true! I can say my mother she used to cook good meal that until now I'm missing them huh!

In today's world, lucky are those man who can find a woman who can cook. And my husband so far is a good cook for he cooks everytime I ask him. He loves my cooking and all the foods i cook, from breakfast, lunch sometimes, dinner meals and up to dessert. And he`s really so lucky for `I Love Cooking'.

I considered myself a very lucky woman for this talent is God`s gift to me. Of course, we could also talk about the lucky man with a wife who loves to cook. But for now I'll keep the writing from mine or the husband's point of view.

It has often been said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Well after many years of eating good meals at home, I finally have to admit that this old proverb applies to me. It's funny how what you thought were silly or unsubstantiated sayings of the past come back to you when you try to understand why things are the way they are.

Yes, I think so much more highly of myself, for the delicious meals that i unselfishly prepares. I do have great belief in that if a meal is prepared with love it is so much more nutritious than a meal that is prepared grudgingly. And as it is in our house as in most homes, the kitchen is the place where people

or the whole family congregate and eat what I lovingly prepares.

And you are blessed, or beyond lucky, if you can pick and harvest organic fruit, vegetables, and herbs from your own garden to use with your meals. I'm proud for I'm starting to harvest some fruits and spices from my lil garden.

For some,this may not be wishful thinking for some,for me it's a reality and I'm so grateful for it that I had to try to put my experiences into words and share a favorite meal or two.

Just today, i made a Chinese noodle for snack. It was not my first time to cook this but when i added more vegetables on it, it more delicious and i love it. Not only me but my husband too. He enjoyed eating it and also my father-in-law. It was cooked good the way it should be. Well, aside from the almost other-worldly great taste, it was also a taste of love-where there were all my love human ingredients, my care, which u can never get to any restaurant or food places.

Here are some ingredients of what i cook:

1 leaf of celery cut into cubes

at least 5 leaf of Chinese cabbage

3 or 4 bags of small rice vermicelli

1/2 lbs of cauliflower

1/4 lb of sliced carrots(straight cut)

1 small green pepper

1 small red pepper

half sliced of onion(cut)

4 cloves of garlic (minced)

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1/2 lbs of shrimp

4 tablespoon of soy sauce

1 tablespoon of salt

1/2 tablespoon of black ground pepper

Now, here`s the procedure. First, put the olive oil in a pan in a medium heat, when it gets hot put the garlic wait till it turns golden brown then put the onions. after 20 seconds put the shrimp, then stir for 1 minute then put all the vegetables except the cabbage. stir for a while then add the seasonings. When u think its ready add the cabbage, put in the big plate and serve. ENJOY EATING!

Classes for CNA

2008-06-18T07:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, i went to hospital to inform about CNA classes(Certified Nursing Assistant). As i got there i went right away to the information and talked to one staff. She`s a pretty old lady, very approachable and very nice. I then asked her about if she know any school wherein i can take the classes.

After getting the name of the school, directions and informations that i wanted, i headed right away to Haywood Community College where they take classes for this short course. i went right away to the information then ask whom i can speak with. They immediately brought me to the room of the nursing department. Again, i talked to a very nice old lady. She told me all the requirements and fees. But according to her i gotta have a reading test before i can attend the classes. I wasn`t nervous at all when i heard the word `reading test'. I have self confidence so no worries at all. She then gave the the address of that place for reading test.

After i got everything all what i wanted i called my husband right away. He was so happy to hear about it,but because he`s at work i didn`t told him everything.When he gets home i talked to him then all the informations i got. So he decided and said yes right away. I can then go to school next month.

Tomorrow, i decided then to have my reading test and I'm praying and hoping i can pass.

Happy Monday

2008-06-18T06:40:00.000-07:00

Monday was a fine and sunny day. It`s little bit hot but the heat didn`t bother us. I know it was a good day start for me for the whole week.

Around 5:30 in the morning i woke up and prepared my husband`s breakfast. I just made him a light breakfast meal for he`s on diet. My husband left about 6:10 to work. Few hours later after i made our bed and cleaned the whole house i started signing up online for some sites where i can make money. Then, after i made just one blog my father-in-law got up and so we had breakfast together and then we straightened up everything we need to do for that day.

First thing we did was go to his bank and close his bank account at Wachovia, because Asheville is quit far from where we`re living he closed his account for a reason to save gas-due to the high price, save time and of course to save money too. We then went to the closest Bank of America from our place then he opened a new account to them. Ok, we`ll done with our bank business already.

Second thing, we went grocery shopping at Ingles. The store was huge. They have everything we wanted. As we were walking trying to find things we wanted, i`ve seen some vegetables i wanted to so i picked them up and put in our cart. I didn`t care of the price at all. After almost 2 hours on the store i started to get hungry and so we headed home.

It was about 1:00 when we got home. Here we go lunchtime. I made me a ham and cheese sandwich and a soda and dad ate the same too. Of course as i normally does, i eat while I'm working with my blog. Time went so fast and here comes my husband. i then left the office cause my husband had to work on the computer. I left the office and started to prepare our food for dinner.

I marinated shrimp and steak, i made a vegetable salad and wrap the corn with butter and foil. A few hours later my husband then came out to grill. He was the chef that day. I love the way he cook, its excellent especially his shrimp and steak. We had a good and excellent dinner, we ate outside just like we had a picnic and it was fun!!!

The Best Jeans

2008-06-18T04:37:00.000-07:00

Early morning today i was browsing the net and I`ve read an article about jeans(for women). As we all know women especially young ones are trendy and fashionable. everybody wants new and branded jeans. Like me i do i used to buy new jeans when i was single but now I'm married i cut down my shopping habit. shopping is fun and exiting especially when you go shop with friends.

According to the article I`ve read they classified jeans into different kinds where it fits the figure of a body. Here it goes...

The Flat Behind Jeans

The key to going from flat to flattering is finding a pair of jeans with some Lycra or spandex to lift,wide-set back pockets to break up the turf back there, and embellished stitching to define roundness. Most important, stay away from stiff denim---it will flatten your backside like a pancake.

They say these jeans are snug in all the right places instead of feeling self conscious,they feel comfortable, fit and sexy.

The Bubble Behind Jeans

They say these jeans are pretty hip-looking. Women with the coveted bubble behind have not-so-coveted challenge: to find jeans that fit their derriere but don't gape at the waist. Jeans with a high and/or a contoured seam above the back pockets(instead of dipping, it should crest upward toward the waist)are most likely to hold in your curves. Some choose pair with some stretch for a sag-free fit.

The No Behind Jeans

These are jeans with eye-catching posterior details,like flap or button pockets and multicolored designer stitching, which help give the illusion of a little junk in the trunk. they are comfortable jeans too.

The Triangle Jeans

A triangle behind, widest where the hips meet the thighs, is in need of some balance. The ideal pair of jeans is one made of a heavyweight denim with only a little stretch, to help round out the bottom of your derriere. These jeans are also strategically placed pockets-ones that are on a diagonal or set high toward the waist-that eyes focused on the center of your butt and not on your outer thigh to achieve balance.

The Wide Behind Jeans

Making a wide posterior look great. Avoid wide-leg jeans,which cling to your widest point and nowhere else. Straight-leg or boot-cut shapes-with closely pockets that drew eyes to the center-are better because they don't use too much fabric. Instead, the skim your curves, highlighting your best easy jump in. These jeans perfectly fit the waist and aren`t super low-cut and they are easy to jump in.

The Low Behind Jeans

Ladies with low rear ends need a lillte lift. Look for slim-fit jeans-they give the illusion of a higher rear because they make legs look longer and sleeker. But avoid jeans with no back pockets-without distracting details hate jeans will make your poisterior look lower and bigger than in actually is. These make your behind perky and legs look so long.

Japan Makes Robot Girlfriend For Lonely Men

2008-06-18T04:28:00.000-07:00

"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."

TOKYO (Reuters)- She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.

A Japanese firm has produced a 15 inch tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around $175, with a target market of lonely adult men.

Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named "EMA" puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "love mode".

"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys.

"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."

EMA, which stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization, can also hand out business cards, sing and dance, with Sega hoping to sell 10,000 in the first year.

Japan, home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots, envisions a $10-billion market for artificial intelligence in a decade.

A One Blessed Mother

2008-06-17T14:02:00.000-07:00

First New Year of us with my sis in China and second New Year with me and dear mother... China december 1,2005

Celebrating Chinese New Year together. The last Chinese i spent in Chna since i was there. Febrary 16,2007.

MY EVER LOVING MOM, MY HUSBAND AND ME...taken at MACAU,CHINA

Everychild is born with a mother. A mother who cares a lot for her child, a mother who will alaways understand, and shoulder the pains her child would have. And a mother who teaches the greatest love of all to her child and everyone around.

My childhood wasn`t that bed of roses. But inspite of that I`m still blessed for i have a mother who brought me into this beautiful world. I still have a mother who cares for me though we`re mhundreds of miles apart. A mother who gave me good life. She thought respect to everyone.
I am so very thankful, for without her i wasn`t able to stand for my own self, without her advices and good care I am not be for what i am now. I owed her what i have. Mom, this is for you, i wanna say thank you for everything you`ve done to me. I'm SO PROUD OF YOU.

When I went to school from grade one to six, I can say I was one of the most talented in my class for i joined school contest and i always win. I always have recognitions then by the end of the school year, i got medals which are my rewards for her and my father and everytime I walked on the stage and get for my prizes mom was there having tears but behind those tears I know she`s so proud of me. I know no one is a perfect mother and no one is a perfect child but in my sight and in my heart my mother is the best mother in this world and her children are the best children in this world too.

It`s been almost seven months since i left China,a place where i worked for 5 years and mom works and we`ve been together there for more than 5 years. We had so much fun together, cried together especially when we call the rest of our family in Philippines, we teased and joked with each other and gave each other a kiss and hug. I can`t say I`m a good child cause sometimes i talked back to her but no matter what i do love my mom. I considered her as my bestfriend ever. Despite the distance we have right now, the sweetness and friendship we had for each other never change and never end. When i call and tell her my problems she`s always there to listen to me. Everytime I`m lonely she`s always there giving me courage to fight my loneliness especially when i feel homesick. She encourages me whenever i feel down and i know she`s ever ready to share everything,all her problems even she wont tell me i know her feelings of me.

To all, who still have their mothers please do care for them, for me mothers are my heroes. Love them and give them back the respest the rendered to u when u were still a child. Everyone might not be a mother in the future but I know i will soon be and i want to let my mother know that she`s blessed to have me and and I am so lucky for having her with me until now. We might not know when will God takes us to heaven, so why we won`t enjoy and share our life to the ones we love.

Father`s Day

2008-06-15T06:00:00.000-07:00

Everybody is blessed for we have our dear fathers. They`ve done their best to raised their children. They sacrificed their best to give us education,which they wanted us to be. And as the head of the family they work hard for the betterment of a family.

Father`s Day is special day for the special man, and a wonderful opportunity to make him feel the same. On this Day, not only can you wish your Dad, but also anyone who is a Dad. A day wherein we make surprises to them like, giving them hugs and kisses, giving then presents/gifts, decorating our kitchen for a dinner, making them poems and most of all a time for the whole family to be together.

When i was young i never knew about this celebration. But i always made my father happy of me. Being the eldest, I satisfied him and my mother too. I remember being with him one night on the mountain walking going home, cause we lived far far from the city and no electricity that time yet on our place. I can say he is my a good father to his four children cause until now he never change,though we`re old enough to decide for ourselves still his on our sides giving us good advices as we go on to our life`s journey.

Year 1995 my father almost dead. He was been shot at the back of his neck by unknown man. Me and my two sisters were then cried so much and prayed that our father will be in safe condition. They brought him to hospital and luckily that wasn`t his last day on earth. We were then so thankful to Our Dear Almighty for saving my father.

It`s been over seven years that im away from my father everytime this celebration comes. But despite the distance of me and him I never forget to greet and say `I LOVE YOU' to him. I can say im lucky for having a father still at this time. His already 48 and still look like he`s on his late 30`s hehe... I love my father and he is `MY HERO'.

Last Book I`ve Read

2008-06-15T05:49:00.000-07:00

Here is another excerpt from Paulo Coelho's eleven minutes. Not that I've really been interested and fascinated with the author since i've read few of his books past years. it just so happened that I'm bored and doing nothing and the intense heat is somewhat boring me to death. then, i got hold of the books. i read the first book, by the river Piedra... in abour a day, in maybe 3 seating and so with the other one.
Here goes...
Here was a page in Maria's diary. it, again, speaks of love...
All my life, I thought of love as some kind of voluntary enslavement.Well, that's a lie: freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves wholeheartedly.
And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free.
That is why, regardless of what I might experience, do or learn, nothing makes sense. I hope this time passes quickly, so that I can resume my search for myself - in the form of a man who understands me and does not make me suffer.
But what am I saying? In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.
It hurt when I lost each of the various men I fell in love with. Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone.
That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.

Healthy Relationships: Key to Happily Ever After

2008-06-13T11:04:00.001-07:00

Romantic fantasies of what constitutes a healthy relationship are almost as common in real life as they are in songs, movies and novels. Who doesn't know someone perpetually searching for Mr. or Ms. Right? Who doesn't know someone searching for the perfect mate to finish her incomplete sentences, to make her feel happy and whole?
But how often have you seen these same people fall again and again for others who turn out to be absolutely wrong for them? Their choices make you wonder: How can love be so blind?

Why love is blind

When people lack self-esteem or feel insecure, they often seek out partners to compensate for what's lacking in themselves — whether what's lacking is real or perceived.
Maria, who wants to remain anonymous, is one of three siblings raised by loving, Italian immigrant parents who moved to the United States to make a better life for their family.
When she started elementary school in an affluent New York suburb, Maria, was taunted for being the only one in her class who knew no English. By high school, she was one of the most popular girls in her grade.
Although she never graduated from college, Maria achieved her dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur. She was pretty, intelligent, warm and capable, but her relationships with men went nowhere.
"I always thought if I met a smarter man, that would elevate me to a different category," she says. She was dogged in her pursuit of a well-educated, brilliant man who would make her feel complete: an intellectual equal to her peers.
But each time she dated one, she felt insecure and clingy. Many turned out to be control freaks who gave her no space.
The consequences weren't pretty. Why would someone want to be in a relationship with a woman who lacked self-confidence? Before long, someone always opted out.
With her therapist, she discovered what was undermining her ability to find a mate: She avoided or passed over men who might have been suitable partners because she was always looking for that brainy man.
Her new insight allowed her to move forward. "You can't get self-esteem from someone else," she says. "It has to come from within." Maria began taking courses and cultivating new interests that made her a more attractive person, and not just to men.
"It is easy to get fooled when you are feeling in love," writes therapist John Van Epp, Ph.D., in his book How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk: The Foolproof Way to Follow Your Heart Without Losing Your Mind (McGraw-Hill, October 2006). He points out that, in retrospect, there are always signs that something is amiss from the beginning, but lovers often ignore them, hoping things will improve.
"Not until after a breakup — or sometimes after a wedding — does the light bulb come on," he says.
Two preliminary studies led by neuroscientist Andreas Bartels, Ph.D., of University College in London and published in the November 2000 issue of NeuroReport1 and the March 1, 2004, issue of NeuroImage2 may provide a biological explanation for this phenomenon.
Using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the researchers measured brain activity while mothers and other volunteers who professed to be "truly, deeply and madly in love" were shown pictures of their children and partners. Researchers compared participants' responses to those pictures with their responses to less emotionally charged pictures.
The researchers found that both maternal and romantic love actually suppress the areas of the brain responsible for critical thinking. This might explain why people in feel-good relationships tend to suspend rational thinking and act from their hearts instead of their heads.
"Initially, it feels good," says Karen Sherman, Ph.D., a psychologist and relationship expert from Long Island, N.Y. "But the feeling doesn't last if someone is not internally happy with who they are.
"The loss of such relationships can be quite devastating," she adds. "When you have invested so much emotional energy in one individual, you almost feel as if you are going to die. Such break-ups can re-open old wounds, even ones from childhood."
To avoid disappointment, do your homework
To make better choices, you need to take the time to know, understand and accept yourself. Don't rush into relationships too quickly.
"Before choosing a mate, individuals need to learn as much as they can about who they are, their strengths and weaknesses, what motivates them and what drives them nuts, and what they can live with and what they cannot," says Barbara D. Petty, who teaches relationship-building skills through the University of Idaho Extension program.
Remember, too, that low self-esteem is something that can be changed. Healthy people are generally attracted to people who are self-confident, happy and interested in life — people who don't need others to feel complete.
"An individual should prepare to contribute to a relationship rather than draw from it," says Petty. A good foundation comes from close friendships and social supports; financially and emotionally rewarding work or other activities, hobbies and creative outlets; and an interest in one's community and the world at large.
Experts also stress the importance of having appropriate expectations. "It's vital to really get to know your partner, his or her needs, strengths and weaknesses, too," says Van Epp.
"A couple may not always agree on everything, but it's important to explore the other person's values, conscience, previous relationships, family and goals before considering a long-term relationship."
Lastly, you need to be alert to the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship. If you answer yes to the following questions, your relationship may be in trouble:
Do you feel like you need to be with your mate or partner to feel complete?
Do you feel unworthy of your mate?
Do you relinquish your own identity when you are together?
Does your mate ever call you clingy or needy?
Do your good friends question your relationship?
Has your relationship made you sacrifice or weaken your connection to family, friends, hobbies or work?
"A relationship isn't supposed to be the one thing that can make you happy. It can enhance you, but it won't complete you," says Sherman.
"Everything you need to know about a relationship is there from the beginning; you just have to watch for it," she adds. "And if all your friends are saying you're blinded by the relationship, they're probably on to something."

ALL ABOUT ME

2008-06-13T09:53:00.000-07:00

I'm a Filipina, 25 years old and married t a wonderful and loving man Michael. I'm a newbie here in United states, north Carolina. I got here last January 11,2008 with a fiancee visa. And just got married last February 11,2008. I'm happy with my husband and i couldn`t ask for more than him cause he treats me so good and the way a woman and a wife is treated to be.

I am a very sentimental person who likes to hoard pictures and letters. I can get very emotional when it comes to my family. I love being pampered..he he I am methodical and logical, and the type who will think about something several times before doing it. Whenever i experience painful things, i always remind myself that everything happens for a reason. Whatever comes my way, i know it will be for something good. Maybe not immediately, but eventually. My passion for God, my love for my husband and the rest of the family, and my desire to fulfill my dreams are the things that keep me firmly planted on the ground. ..Being happy and content doesn't mean living in a world of perfect harmony; it means that you allow yourself to flow with the music that plays in your life'.

I'm always interested to challenge myself, through television, books,school or personal experiences and any ways to learn new things. Challenging myself is what makes me feel confident of myself though sometimes i fail, sometimes it`ll turn in to a mistake, sometimes it`ll curse me,sometimes it`ll make me grow but most of all it`ll make me discover my ignorance.

well i think that's all folks. Any comments on here is highly appreciated. Thank you.

HONESTLY

2008-06-13T09:48:00.000-07:00

There are many principles and values all people live by. These values help them with dealing with everyday matters. Whether it is to keep their faith at all times or just respect everyone else the way they want others to respect them, it changes their lifestyle. The one law that I live by is honesty. I have always been taught that lying will just get me into more trouble than I might already be in. I have always tried my best at going without lying. Being honest is a quality all people need to have and use to go far in life.

Ever since I was a little kid, my parents have taught me to be honest because it is the right thing to do. As I got older, I realized something very important that could change the way people take me to be as a person. If just once you stop being honest and tell a lie it will dramatically change people’s point of view of you and their whole way of acting toward you. When you tell a lie you lose that person’s trust forever or have to work your whole life getting it back. You also are going to be taken more lightly on whatever you may say.

It is my personal goal to achieve great things in life and honesty will sure help me get there. For me right now losing somebody’s trust would be a truly horrible thing to do. My parents would be stricter on the things they let me do and the places that they used to let me go to. My friends would never again tell me a secret or believe many things I told them. Other people would just keep me as an acquaintance instead of a friend. Whatever you do for a living or wherever you live, honesty is something important for all of us.Honesty gets you much higher in life than getting into more problems like lying would. Lying can even get you into problems dealing with the government. I can already tell that the great and astonishing people I have met so far are all extremely honest people. Being dishonest to me in a way is like taking drugs. It will permanently reflect upon you and change everything about you. Not only that, but once you lie once you think it won’t hurt you to do it again, until you finally have to realize what it’s doing to you.I hope that I’ll never fall into a situation where I’ll lie.

Honesty is just as important to me as my family. Already, I know it is something that will improve my future and my relationship with all people. It is something about myself that I hope to never lose no matter what happens. Most of all honesty will help me no matter if I’m at school, home or just hanging out with friends. It is something that I hope my children will also have and appreciate.
