Dare To Believe

Everybody Knows:
You can't be all things to all people.
You can't do all things at once.
You can't do all things equally well.
You can't do all things better than everyone else.
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that.
You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.

Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
You will have learned to live with your limitations.
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
And you'll be a most vital mortal.

Dare To Believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person.
That you are a once-in-all-history event.
That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

Congratulations to all you 2006 graduates!

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By Fond-U-e.

I'm a chocoholic.. And I'm starting to get so addicted to Fondues.

Try it at Max Brenner.. I so love it! I think Delifrance has it, less expensive than Max Brenner's, too.

Sweetness!

Tranquility Tips

Here's how to keep your cool even if life hands you lemons.

• Take a deep breath.
  Studies show that large intakes of oxygen definitely help to calm one’s nerves. Before blowing up, take five minute and concentrate on your breathing—it’ll help you relax and deflect your anger.
• You’re not alone.
  Others have gone through the same hullabaloo as you have. Food for thought: Do you think those girls wouldn’t be as self-confident as they are now if they hadn’t experienced those sticky situations.
• Shrug it off.
  Or better yet, laugh it off. Having a large dose of humor will let you see the bright side of every situation, regardless of how embarrassing, moronic, or disastrous it may be.
• Have an outlet.
  Take up kickboxing, painting or any activity that’s totally different from what you do at work. When life starts to unravel, you can hop to the nearest gym or pour out your feelings in your journal. A good workout of your body and mind helps you to decompress.
• Learn and move on.
  Sure, you may have lost a bit of pride, a chip off your ego, and plenty of money, but you’ll have gained something that’s priceless: wisdom and maturity.
• Tell someone who cares about you.
  They’ll laugh it out with you or listen until you’re over it. It’s good to just let it out to people you can totally be with yourself.
  

From His Point Of View: Boyfriend Defense 101

They may have their flubs, but this guy reveals that boyfriends aren’t as awful as you think.

The pundits are right: Men and women are from two different planets. Somehow, we never seem to fully understand what we want; or if we do, our intentions are taken the wrong way. As unbelievable as it may sound, we guys are giving our best to be the boyfriends you want us to be.

Fine, we never remember the important dates: History was never one of our best subjects, so we hope you understand when we forget our ‘month-saries,’ or where or how we first met. But we have our own special moments with you that are worth remembering in our own ways, like having an awesome bucket of fried chicken together or laughing in unison during a really funny movie. We may not remember what you were wearing on our first date, but we do remember you looked great.

We’re really more sensitive that we look: Maybe we suffer from the lack of pathos. But don’t think that we aren’t trying our best to be more perceptive. We can tell whenever you’re upset, annoyed, or ‘just don’t feel like it,’ but we’re not great with talking things out so we let you ride it out instead. Given this, you got to give us credit for the times when we sit with you to sulk off a problem, and when we coddle you until you feel better, ‘cause that takes a lot out of a guy.

Double takes? Meaningless: No matter how much you try to bring us back into conversation whenever a bevy of beauties walk past us, swooning and head turning will always be some of our so-called ‘ habits.’ We’re programmed to check out other women—ask National Geographic—but that doesn’t mean we don’t find you attractive—the truth is, we only have eyes for you.

Even if we don’t say it, we think you’re gorgeous: Admiring you every minute of the day wouldn’t be very sincere of us, and similar to the words ‘I love you,’ saying ‘you’re beautiful,’ has more meaning when it’s blurted out unexpectedly. Yup, it’s when you least expect it: We’ll steal a glance, smile when you complain about how ugly you look today, tuck a lock of hair behind your ear—this is our own little way of expressing a lot of admiration.

We may be cheesy, but we’re honest: We’re real men—not the romance novel kind with perfect words to woo a woman. When we’re composing statements of love, it’s on-the-spot. If it comes out baduy, we’re sorry. A slick-sentenced guy doesn’t mean half of what he says anyway. If we say you’re our ‘one and only,’ we’re telling the truth.

A New Year's Resolution

I have forgiven you long time ago...

…and you’re not even saying sorry.

December Babies

I’m glad there’s you to smile at me
And brighten up my day,
To share my thoughts and understand
The things I do and say.

I’m glad there’s you to laugh with me
At ordinary things,
To show me what is special,
In everything life brings.

I’m glad there’s you to be with,
And I think it’s time you knew,
Just how happy you have made me,
And how glad I am there’s you!

Happy Birthday, you all.. Cheryl, Hux, Aasta, Chill, Papa Cesar, Mirma, Diane, John, Annie and Hux!

November Babies

A Miracle called friendshipDwells within the heart
You don't know how it happensOr when it gets it's start
But the happiness it brings you,Always gives you a special lift
Then you realize that friendship

Is one of God's most precious gifts!

Happy Birthday!

Getting Better

"Decide to be nicer to yourself and take your time with this one. You’ve just come out of a relationship barely breathing; maybe you should give your heart a little warm up before jumping right back in."

Understand that the moving on process varies from case to case. For some people, it can take a few months or years. Others need only a few days. Accept the fact that in your case it's happened already.

Books, Books And More Books

I recently finished reading a short novel titled Getting Better by Tara FT Sering. Its a not so new novel by her, nevertheless, I found it really witty and at the same time, you learn something substantial from it. I’m on to its sequel, Almost Married.

Check it out girls. Have fun reading.

Happy Birthday: October Babies

"Happy Birthday" means much more
Than have a happy day.
Within these words lie lots of things
I never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I'm proud of you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with all my love.
