There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved

Your Heart is Feeling Open



You have no idea where your love path leads, but you're looking forward to the journey.

For you, love as an adventure. While you may get hurt, that's the risk you have to take.

You are receptive to any love or relationship that may come your way. You can't predict love!

Deep down, your heart is susceptible to: Anything... both good and bad

Your current outlook on love: Free spirited and flexible

Your love life will improve if you: Protect yourself a little. You don't have to be open to every romantic experience.

Watch out for: Treating love as a game

happy birthday baby!


Baby dear, I am glad you’re near.
Because when you are, I have no fear
that your love for me, I can hold so dear.
Sometimes we have our little quarrels and spats,
but they don’t last long,
because our love has outgrown all that.
Our spending time together is important to you,
and I must admit it is for me too.
We don’t need to do a lot of things
to have fun together, like some couple do.
Just being together is enough for us two.
We laugh at things that are not funny to some,
but that’s just our way of having fun.
We like being near water and sunny days,
and hearing nice music as it plays.
I hope your special day is a great time for you.
Spending it with me and sharing your love,
will be a great time for me too.


Happy Birthday Baby!!

A Prayer for the Stressed!
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage to change the things I cannot accept,

and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had
to kill today
because they pissed me off.


And also,
help me to be careful of the toes I step on
today
as they may be connected to the ass that I may have
to kiss tomorrow.

Help me to always give 100% at work....

12% on Monday

23% on Tuesday

40% on Wednesday

20% on Thursday

5% on Fridays


And help me to remember.....

When I'm having a really bad day,

and it seems that people are trying to piss me off,

that it takes 42 muscles to frown
and
only 4 to extend my middle finger
and tell them to bite me!


Amen

:)

THE REMEDY:


*ahaks*

come wat may...

in actual fact,
this is my contemporary state of psyche



ursTRuly's Remedy:



"... and they lived happily ever after"...

Never Forget!

Eternal God, amidst all the turmoil
and changes of our world, we know that you are constant, our firm foundation
in the midst of every storm and upheaval.

We pray for people who live in fear-- for Israelis and Palestinians alike who risk their lives merely going about their daily business. We pray for all who live in fear of terrorism-- in the Middle East, in Northern Ireland, the Philippines, Colombia, Sri Lanka, and the United States. Whether we worship you as Christian, Jew, or Muslim, give us courage. When fear threatens to paralyze us, embolden our hearts that we may continue to live active, faithful lives. We pray for people oppressed by poverty, political and military force, or lack of education and opportunity. Give them hope, strength, and a constructive way to break the cycle of poverty. Give us who have so much the will and the drive to fight against oppression of every kind.

We pray for all who have lost their lives in the events of eight years ago, and for those they love who are left to mourn and carry on. We hold in our hearts the victims and survivors of September 11, and those who have died in the violence and war that has erupted since then in Afghanistan, Liberia, the Philippines, Iraq, and the Middle East. Bless those who have been lost, that their souls may live on in your love and presence. Bless those who mourn, may they find comfort, strength, and hope in your presence and our compassion.

We pray for our world leaders and for all people who are in a position to negotiate, to stop the escalating violence, to work for peace, and to choose a path of reconciliation. Give them wisdom in perilous situations and the will to make sacrifices for the common good, to enter into dialogue, to compromise, and to reconcile.

We pray for those who have lost their jobs. Give them hope, guide them in their search, and strengthen them in their efforts to make ends meet. Keep us mindful of those who are struggling that we may reach out with the support and resources they need in this challenging time.

Ever present God, calm our fears. Guide us as we struggle to live in this rapidly changing world. We pray that we may remain loving, kind, and open to your presence in our lives, in our neighbors, and in the world around us.

We cry to you, O Lord.

Hear our prayer!
Amen!

this was the fifth year devotional prayer i stumbled upon.
Prayers are very much the same, even if it was said two years ago.
it is the seventh year now since one of the most devastating event of our century.

it still makes me wonder;
what has our World become?
what will be the future be like for our next generation?
what will be the next major catastrophe?
what would our lives be like in years to come?
what will happen to each one of us?
what is our LIFE now?

Remember 9/11.

i still remember it clearly just like it was yesterday.
i was at my hubby's business then ~ LeFace.
i thought it was just another movie or documentary, when i realised it was LIVE on CNN.
how horrifying it was then.
all the music stopped.
all the patrons was in utmost silence.
everyone's eyes was fixed on ALL the TVs, listening to the broadcast LIVE.
then, i just wanted to go home to my kids ~ Jon and Jem.

God Bless their Souls, for infinity.

my.faith

I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference

bleargh!

still awake. can't seem to get a shuteye.

a darling dear said "strictly work is work; personal is personal. u're feeling difficult is bcoz u mix them together"... yea, i know that and i wholly agree!

S A D . C O N F U S E D . U N R E A L I S T I C . D I S S A P P O I N T M E N T
is my current frame of mind; more than i am M A D . A N G R Y . T I C K E D-O F F . P I S S E D.

never allow thyself to make a foolhardy of thy own self
. thou shalt NEVER!

wat am i to do?


sorry woman. really i am. i think u should comprehend that after 16years of friendship. we are of 2 wholly different entities and you should never think that we are of the same; just cause of the fact which i can't change (not now perhaps, or ever... i dunno. time will tell for nothing is definite in life, no matter how we want them to be). i hope you will find it in your heart and soul, to forgive at least; i know it will never be forgotten. i would be the same if i was you. i am sorry, again. i really appreciate you. know that.

i could really use a HUG at this moment...


Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.

why not?

this would be a great suggestion for ALL... :)
it is never too late to start. Perhaps i should *ahaks* even after all these years of marriage; i would highly recommend this to those intending to get married, newlyweds, and those who have been years in their marriage. it would be somewhat something some kind of wonderful... it makes one realise the little things in life, that we tend to take for granted, the little things in life that matters most... hey! after all, we only have one lifetime.
Cheerio!

Marriage Passbook

Jocelyn married William this day. At the end of the wedding party, Jocelyn's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With $1000 deposit amount.

Mother: 'Jocelyn, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with William. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'

Jocelyn shared this with William when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:
- 7 Feb: $100, first birthday celebration for William after marriage
- 1 Mar: $300, salary raise for Jocelyn
- 20 Mar: $200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: $2000, Jocelyn got pregnant
- 1 Jun: $1000, William got promoted
...... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things.
They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love... Kind of typical nowadays, huh?

One day Jocelyn talked to her Mother:
'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'

Mother:! 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if! you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'

Jocelyn thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.

While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.

When she was home, she handed the passbook to William, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

The next day, William gave the passbook back to Jocelyn. She found a new deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record: 'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.

Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask.
I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.


A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences

dammit!

i think it's preeminent to never have any expectations...

u preserve your heart (and psyche!) better that way!

WHY must things change; in the first instance?

(in some ways, i prefer how things were back then...

but then again; in a LOT of ways, i love the way things are now!)

human nature

*sighs*

we can in no way be simply contented with what we acquire...

*ahaks*

things are actually so much better now,

but then again,

WHY is it so that at a teensy weensy twitch of indifference...

the Great Big Wall of China comes up swiftly! *damn*

(it hurts dammit...)

(why?)

i loathe myself when i am feeling this way...

in a nutshell:

If you care, you just get disappointed all the time.

If you don't care nothing matters so you are never upset

:)

kudos to that!

Those who will play with cats must expect to be scratched.
