ENOUGH..

this is just a forwarded message given to me by my sister on my birthday..
let me share it to you...

ENOUGH:,

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged, and the mother said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.'

The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom.'

They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'

Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'

'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back will be for my funeral,' she said.

'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?'

She began to smile. 'That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we wanted the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.'

Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Then, she began to cry, and walked away.

They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.

everybody happy..!!

life is life

hey!! wake up!!
one should not dwell in the past...
even if others said that you should have a dream... still, you need to wake up and live it to make your dreams a reality!!
there are a lot of reasons to be happy!!
stand up... smile... and go on....
life is life... live it to the fullest!!
we still have our friends that reminds us how to smile and to hope that tomorrow will bring another chance to live our life!!

we still have our family that stays with us no matter what happens....
and there is God..

A quote that you would also agree (I guess)

"One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood."

-Agatha Christie (1890-1976)

I guess that's for real.... hmm... do you think so?

Be on move....

Why waste your life on sleep
when you can have enough of it when you die?
Live your dreams, make it real..
do it while your awake not asleep,..

Life is not perfect..
and nobody has the power to make it perfect...
but everyone is given countless chances to make things right.

Get up and make a difference!!

This is me!

A song that touched my heart...

Lately I've been winning battles left and right,
but even winners can get wounded in the fight.

People say that I'm amazing, I am strong beyond my years,
but they don't see inside of me, I'm hiding all my tears.

They don't know, that I come running home when I fall down.
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around.
I drop my sword and cry for just awhile...cause deep inside this armour..
THE WARRIOR IS A CHILD.

Unafraid because this armour is the best,
but even soldiers need a quiet time to rest.

People say htat I'm amazing.. I never face retreat,
but they don't see the enemies that lay me at His feet.

so much alike to what I am experiencing these days.....

I will be your FRIEND

If you need to talk, i will listen.

If you need to cry, i will hold you.

If you feel lost, i will help guide you.

If you need to be angry, i will let you.

If you're feeling afraid, i will comfort you.

If you're feeling attacked, i will be tour defense.

If you need to lean awhile, i will you a shoulder.

If you're feeling unsure, i will give you confidence.

If you're feeling alone, i will be your friend who won't leave you.

What I hate most!!

What I hate most?

hmmmm.........

I can not think of anything...

hmmmm.........

waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh... (a loud scream echoed on our house..)

"There is a cockroach in my room.." My little sister exclaimed.

"Why you are afraid of it? You're a thousand times bigger than it's size."

(the cockroach flew)

waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.....(another scream echoed... a louder one)

ahaha... it was me.. I can't blame my self for being afraid for such a creature...
imagine how a courageous big sister turned into a freaky frightened 'ate'...

(ate is a Filipino word for sister)

ewwww............

We'll I guess that's it... ahahaha... I am most afraid of "flying cockroach".. flying huh? not the crawling one... ahaha... I really hate it!

cooking time!!

I love cooking...

I grew up helping my mother and my father while they are cooking in the kitchen. Since I was a child, I cannot help my self but to grab a knife and chop some of the ingredients.

Maja Blanca is one of the Filipino delicacy that I loved most. It is made up of corn starch, milk, coconut milk, corn cream.


Wearing my lousy shirt, me and my mother helped each other making such a wonderful dish.









Then my brother John Carlo helped us in pouring the dish in its molder.It is called the "bilao". A rattan weaved in circular form. Banana leaves are placed in order to add flavor and design.

After cooling it for a few minutes, it is ready to serve.

so nice!!

It is so nice to go back to where you came from.
Last May3, 2009... me and my high school friends went back to our Alma mater dear. Even though we were only seven on our batch, we enjoyed our day chatting with each other. ahaha.. It is so much fun to be with them again. We reminisced those days when we are young.



Gathering like that make me wonder how far I have gone through and made me realize that I have so much more to go through in this life
.

pets! pets! pets!

It's really nice to have a pet. So cute.. so sweet.. hmmm, honestly, our family is indeed a pet lover. We have a dog name Chopper, four cats and two little kittens. I do not know how we got those animals in our house but as far as I remember we have them since I was a child. Ahaha.




This is the picture of our eldest
cat with her little kitten. (So
cute..isn't it?)



They even sleep with our bed at night. You will wake up with a cat on your belly. Ahahaha! You know what? They also have human traits too. Aside from sleeping on the human bed, they also sleep just like how humans do it! This is Putete showing his human sleep.

This is Putem, sleeping on the couch.

Our white cats!! So cute!

Ahahaha.. more of their pictures on my next blog!

What my name tell about me?

PAMELA You Are Charming and Eloquent

You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

hmmm.. so true!! That's me!!

I am a super Friend!

I am a friendly person. I do not want other people to be left alone. It is because I know how sad it feels when you do not have someone with you.
I am fond of talking to different kinds of persons. (That is why some people say that I am talkative. ahaha..) Talking is my own way of knowing them. Through their heart and through their eyes, I will know how sincere they are.
I want my friends to be happy at all times. That is why I became a joker. I always crack some jokes to brighten up a dull moment. Every moment spent with hem is like a series of funny moments and awesome scenes that make me realize that I still have a reason to go on when everything's turned upside-down. Their importance is like the importance of heartbeats. Though not visible, they continuously sustains my life.

Exist..

The best thing you can do for someone is...

to simply EXIST...

To be there when they suddenly realize that they need you right away..

Advice

Quote for today:

"Advice is what we ask for when already know the answer but we wish we didn't."

-Erica Jung-

Practice the PAUSE..

When in doubt,
PAUSE.........

When angry,
PAUSE.........

When tired,
PAUSE.........

When stressed,
PAUSE.........

And when you
PAUSE.........

PRAY.

Toss A Coin

When you are indifferent in two things,
TOSS A COIN
It helps not because you will have an answer
but
because the moment that the coin is in the air,
you will wish for
what you actually want.

(Try it.. it really worked!)

A Good Morning

True friends are like mornings...
So wonderful and relaxing..

You cannot have them the whole day (so sad..)
BUT you can be sure that
they will be there when you wake up
tomorrow,
next year
and
forever.

I hope that my Friends will stay as beautiful as a wonderful sunrise that assures me that life isn't bad at all.

Life is a hell without friends

Friends... the REAL one!

They love you but they are not your lover..

They care for you but they are not your family..

They are ready to share your pain but they are not in your blood relation..

They are... FRIENDS!

A true friend scolds like a dad, cares like a mom, teases like a sister, irritates like a brother, and finally.. loves you more than a lover!

This is a short message to let you know how special your friends are to your life. Let your friends know how they mean a lot to you. Life is a Hell without them!!

Happy Mother's Day!

It's been a while.. I noticed that I have grown up so fast.. So many changes in my life that I did not wish for when I was a child.

I can handle my own life now. I know how to make decisions in any situations that come into my way. In every problem that I encounter, I know that everything's gonna be okay. And when I do not know what to do, I know that there is always that one person that is always hanging out there, waiting to be needed by me. I know you know who she was...she is my Mother!

She is a friend whenever I'm in need, a instructor whenever I do not know, a solver in every problem, a lawyer that defends me, a nurse that take cares of me, a doctor that made me well, a priest that forgave my sins, a financier that give me every thing I need, and most of all, a MOM that is all need.

I hope that you know how to express how grateful you are to have your mom who is always there by your side. Do not be afraid to show her what you feel.. be mad at her, be thankful in every deed she do for you, be jealous, be greedy, be happy to have Her...before it is to late.

music is about life

Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony of summer air

See the lights,

See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know

That you were romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quite cause we're dead if they know
So close your eyes
Let's keep this down for a little while
Cause you were romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from juliet
But you were everything to me
And I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, then try to tell me how it is
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Don't be afraid
We'll Make it out of looseness
It's a love story baby just say yes, oh,

I got time to waiting
Wondering if you would ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts to town I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He fells to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said

Marry me juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all the reason for
I talk to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you
