7.2 Eartquake October 15, 2013

I
Its a lovely tuesday mornig, feeling blessed with great weather, great breakfast and most exciting about is that its a holiday.

WOw!

No work.

Its a day that I anticipated much coz I finally have this day to groom my plants, general cleaning, just chilling in bed, not getting to bath early.

 Wow!

I so super dooper ultra mega hyper....

After the load of a two week old laundry, pants, clothes, undies, t shirts, shorts and office clothes I got my hands dirty with soil and my brow sweating.

And while I was getting soil, I felt a bit dizzy  and indeed its an earthquake.

I saw the mango trees swaying and the wires moving.

It was longer than expected and I somehow panicked and just stood there waiting for it to end.

The the news came about old churches in bohol and cebu damaged by the earthquake and a number of people died. This is something out of our control and what we can do is pray for the families who lost their loved ones.

Im a Choleric, what temperament are you?

You Have a Choleric Temperament

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.

What Temperament Are You?

They call it art, I call it blasphemy

Freedom is not absolute, it has limitations.
The controversial crucifix with penis expression of art has created so much noise. ABS-CBN talked about the issue this morning and I could not help but agree with the host, freedom is truly not absolute. Freedom has limitations.The art people talk about it as a freedom of expression and a sense of art. I checked the picture @ google and it was never an expression art, but blasphemy! Pure blasphemy! Its no wonder why he got death threats, he could have thought of other creative items and made use of other material for his artwork. Its very offensive to the majority. I got angry with what I have seen and to think it was placed in a government art gallery and was displayed for public veiwing @ the CCP. Art is a way of inspiring and revealing the talent and the extraordinary in every artist but I hope not like this art that could hurt others.

A teller's life

Its July 29, 2011, due for ngn and legacy lines which means this is going to be a very busy day with lots of people and as expected the business office will overflow with paying subscribers. But, the sad thing is that the payment system is down. Its always been like this for the whole week, the system is off and on every day, its frustrating that we have to manually encode the payments and encode it the day after. Wew! Im helpless, cant do anything about this. How can this be? A telecommunications company as big as this one is also as slow as this one. Tsk tsk tsk, life is like this, we may not like everything but we have to embrace wholeheartedly even if most of the time we lose our patience and get tired of a system that is totally out of our control. Its a test of patience and endurance, and a test that we will manage to smile despite the odds the subscribers are there vigilant and sensitive, more often than not I feel like a clown, you have to smile, pretend its always ok, take care of them with grace because they deserve the best and the way we serve them should not affect minor setbacks that may come along the way. I wish the system will be ok tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day!

I wish you enough

"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.
I'd like my readers to add i wish you enoughs with your version, Id really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day."
By Paulo Coelho

Echoes of our hearts....

Echoes of Our Hearts

Author Unknown

Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times when we love so much that we lose ourselves in our emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there are love that grows, and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end, we find ourselves where we started for we cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been....silent, mysterious and deeply profound.

Many of us believe that love is forever, that love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly have looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it last and then freely open our arms when its time to say good-bye.

When we fall in love, we don't want that feeling to end for it is everything we are, everything we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn't then we should never let our lives be taken by it, for life should not end where heartaches begin.

There is always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say good-bye to the feeling we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart. For love will have to set its wings free and find the place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever.

Then we'll know that love never left us, for the good that we have become because of love will always stay. Love will always be there, reminding us that we should be thankful and happy not because we have lost love, but because, for once in our lives, that feeling called love lived in our hearts and made us happy.

Time with friends....

Got home from dinner with my best friends Judith and Cristy. We've known each other more than half our lifetimes, we were classmates since sixth grade and we've shared lots of memories together. Judith joined me in IIT for two and then transferred to XU and joined Cristy and finished her studies there. Cristy is my officemate since 1999 and we are now in the same department.

Its nice to have this private time, Cristy and me spend the whole with work while Judith is busy with her business and three kids.

The food was great, it was Judith's treat, theres T-bone steak, barbecue, and siszzling sisig and my all time paborito blueberry cheese cake. Wow, I just love blueberry cheesecakes. I realized we were not getting any younger, I felt young but realized that hey, Im not getting any younger but of course I wont force myself to situations the way Judith shared her struggles with family , business and marriage.It was serious stuff but I know she's strong and she can manage everything, all I can do is share my prayers for her and her family.

Lesson learned, Ill have to enjoy the time while Im single coz theres really a lot that instore ahead and I dont know if im ready to face all thats going to come when I reach that time in my life. Theres a lot of responsibility, and it takes a mature person to endure it, with all the adjustments to do and the buzz of marriage. Id rather enjoy the meal than think of things that would scare me even just the thought of it.

Words to Remember

1. What's at the center of our attention is what has us. Whatever we give our attention to either to make or break us.

2. God loves us enough to accept us as we , but He loves us too much to leave us that way.

3. Nothing is so relevant as the eternal.

4. Attack problems, not people.

5. To change, we must want something else more than what we now have. Scriptures say we will find the Lord only when we look for Him with all our heart (Jeremiah 29:13)

6. Live for what you will not regret when you die. "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? (Matthew 16:26).

7. The secret of abundance is found in what we have, but in what we enjoy (or thankful for).

8. Fear God - not to run from Him, but to Him.

9. We can learn more from our critics than our admirers. Some tell us how wonderful we are. Others tell us the truth.

10. "When Im the presence of God, it seems profoundly unbecoming to demand anything".
