Trick ot treat with a twist......





















This year is the most memorable halloween celebration we had for several years. The past celebrations were the traditional scarry ones for kids and for adults as well, with matching witches and ghosts flying all over the building and with cobwebs on evry corner. It was scarry for the small ones and the bigger ones and the adults alike. So, this year to make a difference our HR suggested for a carnival type atmosphere. Our office decided to have our balloon corner, other got their ice cream corner, others toy corner and lots of stuff that Im very sure made the kids enjoy their Halloween adventure.

A Valentine message....

A student asks a teacher: What is love?The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the paddy field and choose the biggest paddy and come back.But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick. The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big paddy, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting forhim. Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knowhe has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better one,but when later you realize, you have already miss the personThe student asked: What is marriage then? The teacher said: In order to answer your question, go to the corn fieldand choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn backto pick.
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not torepeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came back to the teacher. The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look forone that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage Be courteous to all , but intimate with few , and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

2006 Resolutions

Lets leave behind the other year with a cheerful heart and face this year ahead with ready and prayerfull hearts. The past year is coming to an end and lets take with us the lessons learned.

In the coming year ( The YEAR of The DOG) I hope to be a more patient person especially in dealing with subscribers- I know i have not been a good listener as a customer service officer the past year- i should improve also my voice- that i may not sound unpleasant and irritating. This year i want to listen more and talk less which would hopefully help me understand other people more and hear their side as well. Also this year I want to find more time for my family and friends. Also, improve my blog and gain friends through blogging......And read from fellow bloggers around the world.

Christmas Wont be the Same Without You....

" It's the time of year , When good friends are near, Tryin' hard to find a quiet moment ,Sharing love and joy , Children with their toys, Sadness fills my heart to see you go,Christmas won't be the same without you , Christmas won't be the same if you go, All I need to see standing by my, Christmas tree, Christmas won't be the same without you"

A very nice song by Martin Nieverra. 11 years ago, I kind a associated this song with lovers or couples celebrating their christmas away from each others arms, separated by distance, or lovers who have parted ways for good. Its a song about the idea of being away from a person you truly love on christmas day. In my case its the other way around. I consider myself one of those people who can relate with this song but with a twist.

My christmas was never the same after father died. I was left with a mere memory of those christmases with him around. A history, a longing that remained and was kept somewhere in my heart. A longing that i know will no longer be fulfilled even in my dreams. Im a papa's girl and for me it was painful, so painful it makes me cry every time I hear this song. He left us when I was just on my first year in college. Left with a pension which could barely feed a family of seven kids, I have to work as student assistant in the school library to somehow help in the expenses at home. The library was my sanctuary in those emotional stage of my life. I would tire myself with the library work to the point of forgetting the pain engulfing my heart. I kept the pain to myself knowing its the best thing to do, I never cried at home, I never showed them my pain.

After 11 long years after my father died, I never thought it still hurt this much until I heard the song again. Each line of the song echoes the sound of each tear that fell from eyes. A pain i never imagined that was just there waiting to release itself from my heart. Crying in silence was my only way out from this self imposed torture from a past pain that i unconsciously or consciously refused to put an end. We dont stay in this life forever, we will have our time to go. Im just glad that im stronger now with my True Father, who have been there all the times of my life. Though I have lost my biological father I have a father that never dies and lives forever more. I have to move on, slowly release myself from a pain that will heal itself in time. So to all of you who still have your fathers, please please, show them how much you love them, now that you still have the chance to hug them and how grateful you are for their gift of life.

CHRISTMAS WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU
By: Martin Nievera

It's the time of year
When good friends are near
Tryin' hard to find a quiet moment
Sharing love and joy
Children with their toys
Sadness fills my heart to see you go
Christmas won't be the same without you
Christmas won't be the same if you go
All I need to see standing by my Christmas tree C
hristmas won't be the same without you
I remember when
The times we used to spend
Walking hard in hand until the sun sets
Then came Christmas Eve The wish you gave to me
How I wish I tried to make you stay
Repeat Chorus
It's been a long long time I need you by my side
Hold me tight Don't let go Let go
Repeat Chorus (2x)
Christmas won't be the same
Christmas won't be the same
Without you

The Spirit of Christmas

I have a list of people I know
All written in a book
And every year at Christmastime
I go and take a look
And that is when I realise
That those names are a part
Not of the book they're written in
But of my very heart
For each name stands for someone
Who has crossed my path some time
And in that meeting they've become
A treasured friend of mine
And once you've met some people
The years can not erase
The memory of a pleasant word
Or a friendly face
So when I send a Christmas card
That is addressed to you
It's because you're on that list
Of folk I'm indebted to
And you are one of many folk who
In times past I've met
And happen to be one of those
I don't want to forget
And whether I have known you for
Many years or few

Its Vague

Vague things frustate me. I just dont like the feeling of being left there and dont seem to figure what the truth is. Christmas is fast approaching and work is getting annnoying each day ( since i was told by a foriegner once that i have the worst job in the world). I happen to be a customer service officer of a telecommunications company (meaning not a day goes by that i dont get cursed or i dont get obscene remarks from subscribers) but despite the heart breaking kind of job i have i count myself fortunate enough, with the current economic crisis it hard to find a decent job. And then, a few weeks ago the bad news came....WE HAVE NO BONUS!!!!!, and there's a possible manpower reduction (another brain damaging and heart breaking news). True or not but, it felt bad and somewhat dismayed. It may be that big but i was looking forward to that yearly gift. Well, thats life, its coupled with the good and the bad things and its up and its downs. But i have not lost my hope that things would still go the other way around. I still pray, all things are possible. I know when its meant for me He will give it.
