even those who are rude to you...
Not because they are not nice,
but because YOU are nice."
"The pressures in life may seem to crush us,
but like a crushed grape
that produces a better wine,
they only bring out the best in us."
>> Psalm 66: 9-12 <<
O Holy Spirit, at the beginning of this day,
take away all burdens from my heart
that I may start this day with joy,
for You to be the anchor of my day.
Pour out Your gift of wisdom that I may
think, feel and decide always in Your light,
following Your will for my life.
Strengthen me in the moments of frailty.
Be the master of my whole being
today and always in all ways.
In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
While I was surfing through the net, I saw this simple Q&A thingy. So I thought of giving it a try, hehe. ^^ Here it goes:
... When was the last time I ...
cried : During the last Sunday of November when me and my honey had a misunderstanding. But we're fine now. Thank God. ^^
played a sport : Hmmm... about 3 or 4 months ago during our company's Sports Fest.
laughed : A few hours ago while I was teasing my honey, hehe. I am a child at heart and I just love teasing people especially when the mood strikes, hehe. ;))
hugged someone : Hmmm... 3 days ago... Sunday.
kissed someone : A few hours ago. Kissed my father the moment he arrived home after a day's work.
felt depressed : About a week ago. But I wasn't really depressed. Just a bit sad and in a reflective mode.
felt elated : Last night. Because I'll be spending some quality time with my honey tomorrow. Hopefully... if there are no changes in plan. ^^
felt overworked : Almost everyday, hahaha.
faked sick : Can't remember. Because when I tell people that I am sick, I am really not feeling well.
lied : Hmmm... I think that was a month ago. I really do not like lying and I always tell the truth as much as possible. But something happened last month that there was a need for me to keep some information to myself until the right time comes. Should this be considered lying, that is, hehe.
How about you? When was the last time you did those things? ^^
A nice story to reflect on this day...
In his diary, he wrote:
"Let me be thankful first,
because they took my purse and not my life;
second, although they took my all,
it was not much especially my faith;
and third, because it was I who was robbed,
not I who robbed.
Let us see God's purpose behind every trial
and the good things behind the worst situation."
A friend of mine sent me this message so I thought of posting it here:
And, I just find the message sweet and touching.I knew practically right away that you and I would get along well...
Eversince then, it looks like that's coming true...
Is it just me or does it seem like we laugh at many of the same things
and have a lot in common with each other? ...
Conversations seem to flow pretty easily, too...
I don't connect quickly with everybody I meet
--- only really interesting people who make me laugh and feel comfortable...
No wonder I think you're pretty cool
--- you've got all that going for you plus a whole lot more!
I'm happy that I met you.
I know this blog has been neglected for a few months now. Almost a year, in fact, hehe. But that's about to change, hopefully... Crossing my fingers. ^^
When I was creating this blog, I first thought that I'll consider this like a baby. I wanna take good care of it, update it as often as I can, customize it and make it appear really beautiful. However, I failed in this aspect. Sowee... I have been busy with a lot of things especially with work for the past few months which resulted to this site being neglected, huhu. :'( Now, I plan on putting this site back on track.
Slowly... Hopefully...
not just as a sport,
but in the game of life.
a real man cries even when in front of a girl.
a real man wears pink without hesitation.
a real man never fights without a reason.
a real man shows fidelity to relationships.
a real man respects girls in all aspects.
and...
a real man ends a relationship
before he starts fooling around.
We hope that...
as boys read this message, they will know how to be
like a real man.
and as for girls, they will know whom they're
suppose to love.
