I'm a dreamer like anyone of us. Workaholic 8-5 slave of a Japanese Firm. I look up to women of power and determination. I admire men of principles and dignity. I love my family as well as my friends. Single Blessedness but full of laughter :)
I know it's a little hokey, but this made me giggle this morning. It's a quote that's attributed to "Garfield" creator Jim Davis:
"If people were meant to pop out of bed, we'd all sleep in toasters."
So if you're not feeling your usual chipper, embrace-the-day self this morning, fear not! But if you can crack a smile, you know you're back on track.
** funny how this quote was said. actually, we are the ones who makes our lives so miserable by dwelling on the negative side of the coin. Why not try to be a positive type of person and live life without dragging around the negatives of the environment?! Live life at its fullest, laugh to our hearts content and love people that loves us well.. And see... things will be totally different!
A friend posted this picture in his Facebook account. After he posted it, comments from some friends are being posted. Some called it as skinny days pictures, but I don't consider it as my skinny days as you can see I am far from being skinny even before. This picture was taken during our senior year. It reminds me of good old days, good old high school friends. I hope someday we could have another picture taken so we could compare it with this one. But I am unsure if it would still be possible.
I received this as an email this morning and I opted to share this because I really had a good laugh while reading this.

Who does not want to look beautiful and young all their life? Vanity is inevitable in people’s life. All of us, irregardless of gender, social status and faith are all looking forward for a more beautiful us. Being vain now a day is easy, if you wish to enhance something you can easily have it done. Consultations with cosmetic surgeons are accessible. It is too accessible that you can consult with the best Washington DC Plastic Surgeon with just a click of the mouse or just pick up the phone and dial their number. How convenient it is. Feel free to ask about any enhancement that you want to undergo like breast augmentation, facial enhancements, botox and more. Now we can say that satisfying one’s vanity has never been this easy.But first, gotta buy some Las Vegas Show Tickets
As I was making this post there are a lot of things that race inside my head. Would Ate Del and I meet the deadline on Monday to think that we only have two days left to finish the reports that normally takes us a couple of weeks to complete. What the hell is the reason behind the decision of absorbing the guard? First time in the company’s history that a guard under agency is absorbed by the company just to prevent a guard from resigning! What if Ate Del and I would boycott the reports? Would I survive the floods and hurricanes there? I wonder where I could get links of the talk of the town Hayden-Katrina brouhaha! Am I really prepared for this? Am I ready to leave my family and my friends? Am I sure that this would help me to move on? I wonder if Kathy is ok now! What would be the nice color for the luggage? Too many thoughts, too many to think about.
Every morning I used to watch a local morning show. There is segment there that discusses the daily horoscope for each Zodiac Signs. It is done by a very good astrologer. She would always say that horoscopes are just guide, and we are given free will and we should be using it. Free will is a very powerful word. It is defined philosophically according to a website as an ability or capacity to choose a course of action from among various alternatives. And in relation to this, a person is responsible for the effect of the course of action that he or she has chosen.
As a person we are all given the gift of free will. We have the freedom to choose but we also have the responsibility to what ever result our choices would breed. In this life we would make too many hard decisions. We would choose from a wide ray of options that would affect our lives. Picking the right decision could be very tricky. But we have family, we have friends, we have experiences that would help us and teach us or provides us with a clear view. But at the end of the day, the decision would still come from you and there is no one accountable for the decision that you’ve made except for you.
If you are doing this every day, don’t you wish you have the best life insurance this world can offer? You might be getting the high from this kind of job but I don’t know if you’ll appreciate it once you fall. Life is full of uncertainties. You can have your biggest laugh now then cry out later. That is why having insurance is a must. We are all unsure what the future might be, so we have to secure our future not just for us, but also for our families and loved ones. If we are to look at the current scenario today, who would ever think that the global financial crisis would affect the global economy massively and extensively? I know those who lost their jobs are thinking, what if they got income protection quote
My ever beautiful Tita Eve send me this via email and I end up laughing to death.
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them."
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. ( I always do this!)
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

It really takes too much to become an absolute woman. I'm quite sure that I still have to learn some of these.
It is Valentines Day! I hope I have a love story to share with you. But sad to say I have been celebrating Valentines Day alone for the past years of my life. I'll just share you some thoughts.
Have you ever been in love? The answers most probably would be yes. Finding love can bring us joy and happiness beyond compare but it may bring misery and unbearable pain for those who lose it. Some are hasty while others are careful in getting into relationships but I think no matter how many precautions we may have it does not guarantee that love would stay once we find it. Most of us may have loved but lost it but remember that I would always be better to have found courage to love even if we lost it in the end rather than never finding love because we were too afraid to face its challenges. Thanks to Joe d’ Mango!
Love is inevitable, no matter how much we avoid it love would always finds it way.
I'm sky watching last night while sipping a cup of cappuccino when I heard this song.It got me thinking.
Love comes, love goes, But a sudden feeling never lets me be Somehow I know Quite a part of me isn't changed Since you've been gone
Like a sturdy tree That's seen a thousand seasons, I've to shed my leaves in winter To grow them back in spring To welcome life again To welcome you
So goes my life; Still believe in dreams of having you around Too bad mem'ries Feed the mind and not the heart Where I want you to be
So I ask myself what you have left behind for me To go on each day to live As if I have you once again What else is there that's real But all the pain that I feel
Chorus: So let the pain remain forever in my heart For ev'ry throb it brings Is one more moment spent with you I let the pain Bring on the rain If that's the only way If there's no other way To be with you again
Too bad mem'ries Feed the mind and not the heart Where I want you to be
So I ask myself what you have left behind for me To go on each day to live As if I have you once again What else is there that's real But all the pain that I feel
Chorus: So let the pain remain forever in my heart For ev'ry throb it brings Is one more moment spent with you I let the pain Bring on the rain If that's the only way If there's no other way To be with you again
So let the pain remain forever in my heart For ev'ry throb it brings Is one more moment spent with you I let the pain Bring on the rain If that's the only way (If that's the only way) If there's no other way To be with you again
Why does sometimes we cling on to somebody that only gives us pain beyond compare? Why not just leave that person and never look back?Why does sometimes we still long for someone who just hurt us over and over again? Naku sumakit lang ang ulo ko! Kakaloka talaga ang love! Nice thing I removed it from my list! hahaha!
