A Woman's Secret .. and her Prayer
There was once a man and woman who had been married
for more than 60 years. They had shared everything.
They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except
that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of
her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to
open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about
the box, but one day the little old woman got very
sick and the doctor said she would not recover....
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little
old man took down the shoe box and took it to his
wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he
should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls
and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her
about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, "my
grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage
was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got
angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a
doll."
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight
back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box.
She had only been angry with him two times in all
those years of living and loving. He almost burst
with happiness......
"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what
about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from
selling all the dolls..."
Women will love this...............
A Prayer.
Dear God, I pray for :
Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
because God, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death

Mother's day is McDonald's day
Happy Mothers' Day to all mommies out there! this is my beloved mum, our sibs' buddy.. people call her Tita Regie she got that name back when we still have our canteen. (fyi: we call elder women like that of my mom's age "Tita", that's how we address elder people, related or not, with respect here, "Tito" for male)She cooks very well, that in a short period of time, she already have regular customers who always look for her cooked meals. Especially her best tasting "Pork Adobo", no one can beat her with that,not even me... Id say mom's a very patient mother, with 7kids? she would have been crazy taking care of her children of different attitudes and moods. Like anyone here, she gets easily nervous about everything, talk a lot or lecture everytime she wants to raise her point, gets mad if provoked, sweet like she'll invite to go to UK (ukay ukay po)and me end up paying up for everything, crazy and wacky, and most of all she's like a friend whom you can talk to.... ok, I smell drama now. STOP.
And so today, we all went out , first time for us to be all together for a dinner, and guess where we went??? ha ha ha ha McDonald's!! hmm it's suppose to be Shakeys or Maxx's, but motherhood insist to go somewhere food are served fast, for she wants us to attend the 7:30pm mass, which I dont wanna do that time,. But she made sure we're all done with our foods at past 7, so we wont be late.. oh well, I dont have a choice, mom and dad dropped us off at the church!! So there, we sit in a row, all of us (her kids), she already attended the morning mass so they just went home.. The mass' homily was great. I saw myself almost in tears. And before the mass ended, there's this catholic group who presented a mothers'day interpretative dance, and a choir of men holding candles at the back. The show's message, and the entire mass's pinch me down to my heart of how special and great mothers are. And I thank mom, she insisted us to attend that mass..
And when we got home, oh a gallon of ice cream's waiting in the fridge!! happy here it's mothers day, hope everyday it is... lol
Myspace, Friendster, Hi5, MSN Spaces etc etc etc
Cool blog. Great layout. Embedded music. Friend requests. Pretty photos. Meant to socialize. Flirt. and so on.... some few things that this interactive social sites offers, that most people of my age,and teenagers are very hooked up to. I plead guilty! well not to all of those sites you know hehehe.. here's the story: Once upon a time, I became acquianted with Internet, I felt like I can see the whole world and know what people thinks in just one click. The first experience of typing the first website i knewwww.hotmail.com and signing up that info-thing(that's the first thing my computer teacher taught me and the class) was a cool one.Walahhhh I have my very first email add!! and started to give it to everyone i know, and even asked them "email me!!" ha ha ha.. it's like im a naive girl who came from a far-flung town of Quezon with zero sign of civilization,and went to a busy city of Manila !! Yay! until I learned the language of chatting, learned the "asl", "brb" and "gtg"..I made a lot of few friends, chat with anyone who buzz me, download this and that, click left and right, and then all of a sudden my online world stopped, ooops!I broke down the school's computer...funny I didnt know such thing as viruses then..lol..... AND now, bye bye hotmail, welcome friendster, had hundreds of friends yeah just keep on adding everyone, not happy so I switch to Hi5, MSN's spaces, and Myspace all of the same time! jeeez, a total torture to my poor inbox..
Dont ask me to add you up, coz just deleted all my profiles! Im maintaining my Myspace now, since i love tracking people's blog and rants... and it's quiet there, i just wish there's a way who viewed my profile..hmmm. which they dont allow that.. anyway lets's talk about history!! MYSPACE was founded by Tom Anderson with his team of programmers back in July 2003, and just recently sold the site to Rupert Morduch of Fox News Corp. Myspace which is at sixth position for the most visited English website in the world with 76million whopping users! outwitted Friendster, Livejournal and the like.. as for Friendster, it was established in 2002 by Jonathan Abrams. Generally speaking, the members of Friendster's service are young adults in Europe, North America, and Asia aged about 21 to 30. However, even that cannot be accurately defined as there are also many other users within other regions and age groups. as evidenced in the larger membership of teenagers than young adults in South East Asia especially in the Philippines and Indonesia. --excerpts from wikipedia.. Look at that, friendster's a big hit here! beat my family, all of my sibs and cousins have friendster accounts!

what if jealousy knocks in?
My day went well today, it's 4 in the morning, insomniac's saying hello again.. My day could have been all good except for this very second, im experiencing shortness of breath, that's what i exactly feel right now, as feeling anxious of what I would be reading next in this girl's blog which i accidentally bumped into. You know when my curiousity strikes, it itches me to do something (pronto ija!) to find answers to what my mind's cravings, and most of time I get want I want, and only then i'd feel ok (and calm).The blog looks familiar for I have seen it once but never read, and so here it goes.. I want to criticise how her dark blue background and white verdana fonts made my eyes sore, but that's not it, it's what's in her blog that made me read all her entries... it's a story of her daily life, her work, her moods, her girlfriends and her cat. But of course, her lovelife too. Who would'nt want to read something about someone else's love story,heh? She mentioned about her bestfriend and and ex-boyfriend, who are for her would-be the best guys for him but didnt end up to be. What caught my attention is her story with her bestfriend, for he have mentioned his name a couple of times..She have a bestfriend for 7 years, whom they have known each other very well. The guy know her more than anyone does. They dated once but it didnt work out, and as i have read on the previous posts, he cheated on her. oh well,im sorry, "men will always be polygamous" --- as all women said! LOL hahaha, trivia: I used to live in that shitty saying though, i was once a manhater (dont ask)... So they went back to being friends after some years. The girl's still single and dating, and the guy is engaged to marry, that I think from my deepest understanding between the lines, she is very jealous of..
"I've had feelings for him off and on quite a bit and he's told me the same...however...he is engaged to marry someone else and it kills me I guess b/c I never pictured him marrying anyone but me. The sad part is his parents love me and my dad loves him and they tell us often we should be the ones getting married.."
Her bestest friend is her soulmate, she said.For me that would be a perfect of all relationships, you know you're goin to marry your bestfriend and both parents would be very happy that they would end up together. You know how the deal with in-laws, if they dont like you for their son/daughter, you'd end up pleasing them, kissing thier ass if you have really have to. But look at her sitch, everything seems to be in a proper place. If Im the guy's fiance, id get jealous, id be wishing this and that for things to be easy. The guy's heart belongs to this girl whom he loves so much, I dont know if he loves or still likes his bestfriend, I doesnt say anything so on the blog..well if there is, sure she would have post it here and her girlfriends are now celebrating and might be drinking champagne for that. On one post she said, ".... but honestly as mcuh as I'd love for us to be together and we'd have everyone's blessing IF it were to happen I don't think it would work...as much as I believe deep down we are soul mates that were only meant to be friends....anything other than just wouldn't work....." Sure it is, love works two ways honey. You have to accept the fact that he's engaged and happy, and hoping the other way around will only cause you pain, a heartbreak..Been there, and it hurt me big time ..fell in love with a bestfriend, the feeling's mutual, we dated out, im so in love that i got blinded by the fact that his heart belongs to someone else (i hate the girl), but the difference is our love is right but in the wrong time as Barry Manilow quoted...
So, in a way I understand the girl blogger's feelings, she knew it wont work anyway though she's still hides some more-than-friends kind of love for him.. I wish I knew how much..wish i knew...
my heart's breaking after reading her notes, being away from the man you love is hard, you know missing him really bad everyday, and thinking about him occupies my mind most of the time. AND bumping unto her bestfriend's blog is not a joke, it made me wish that Im with my man already..I know it wont be long and we will be together.. but right now? YES, im jealous. and SHE owns the blog...
