its sad when the people you know become people you knew, when you cant walk right past someone as if they were never a big part of your life..how you used to be able to talk for hours, and now you can barely even look at them. its just sad how things change, so much.

true love

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,  

He said…no.

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever….and he said no.

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.

She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said….

You’re not pretty you’re beautiful.

I don’t want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.

And I wouldn’t cry if you walked away…I’d die…

the philippines right now

Saturday, February 25, 2006

yesterday i met some friends from manila over brunch and contrary to what i thought where they would be swo0ning over baguio’s flower festival.. they were still so engrossed with what was happening to the city that they left.. they hardly even mentioned the “panagbenga” i dunno if it was juz their typical manila style but i kinda envy their passion and feist as they trashed the government and pgma. dont get me wrong.. i have always been assertive myself when it comes to things i believed in.. but as far as i can remember, i have always been apolitical when it comes to anything related to the country. i juz dont see the point of shouting to the top of your lungs for someone to step down from office.. surely its not as easy as that.. and i dont think even a mass of 20k people can persuade pgma to juz step down and give everything up either.. 

the way i see it.. if i were to choose who i would want to be president from the brood of wannabes consiting of ramos, susan roces, noli, cory and estrada.. well i defnitly would rather choose gloria.. lesser evil!

however yesterday was a different case.. PGMA declared that we were in a state of national emergency due to the rallies that the police have intervened with yesterday. Arroyo, citing “clear and present danger” to the elected government, invoked her constitutional powers to call on the armed forces to crush the military rebellion and to take over public utilities if the national interest so required.

in addition to that, i also heard about the attempted plan of the government to “silence” PDI.. hhmm…here’s the story which you can check out at inq7.net

Feb. 25, 02:23am

Cops enter Tribune office, get copies of mock-up issue
Inquirer

(UPDATE) POLICE officers from the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group entered the editorial office of the oppositionist newspaper Daily Tribune in Manila around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.

There were no more editorial staff members present when the policemen arrived.

A radio report said the policemen numbered about 15.

They took copies of the mock-up copy of the paper’s Saturday issue and copies of photographs before leaving the office on T.M. Kalaw Street.

A few of the policemen stayed outside the editorial office, saying they wanted to “secure” the place and make sure that everything inside would remain intact.

Tribune publisher Ninez Cacho-Olivarez said in a television interview that she tried to ask the policemen where the materials would be taken.

“Is there no freedom of the press? Is there martial law?” she said.

The publisher said she would file a suit at the Supreme Court. With reports from Boy Cabrido and INQ7.net

LITTLE JOEY’S ADVENTURES

LITTLE JOEY ON ….. PHILOSOPHY:

A teacher asks her class, “If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?” She calls on little Joey.

He replies, “None, they will all fly away with the first gun shot.”

The teacher replies, “The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.”

Then little Joey says “I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream: One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?”

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, “Well, I suppose the one that’s gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.”

To which Little Joey replied, “The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on, but I like your thinking.”

———

LITTLE JOEY ON ….. MATH:

Little Joey returns from school and says he got an “F” in arithmetic. “Why?” asks the father?”

“The teacher asked ‘How much is 2×3′, I said “6″ replies Joey.

“But that’s right!” replies the father.

“Yeah, but then she asked me ‘How much is 3×2?’, states Joey.

“What’s the fucking difference?” asks the father.

“That’s what I SAID!!” shouts Joey.

———-

LITTLE JOEY ON ….. ENGLISH:

Little Joey goes to school, and the teacher says,

“Today we are going to learn multi-syllable words, class.

Does anybody have an example of a multi-syllable word?”

Joey says “Mas-tur-bate.” Miss Rogers smiles, and trying to keep her composure and says, “Wow, Joey, that’s a mouthful.”

Little Joey says, “No, Miss Rogers, you’re thinking of a blowjob”

———-

LITTLE JOEY ON ….. GRAMMAR:

One day, during lessons on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands from those who could use the word “beautiful ” in the same sentence twice.

First, she called on little Suzie, who responded with, “My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it.”Very good, Suzie, “replied the teacher.

She then called on little Michael. “My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out
beautifully.” he said. “Excellent, Michael!”, praised the teacher, glowing that her lesson plan was succesful.

Then, the teacher called on little Joey. Joey responded, “Last night, at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he said, ‘Beautiful,…just fucking beautiful!”

———-

LITTLE JOEY ON… HIKING:

A father came home from a long business trip to find his son riding a new 21 speed mountain bike. “Where did you get the money for the bike? It must have cost $300,” he asked.

“Easy, Dad,” little Joey replied. “I earned it hiking.”

“Come on Joey,” the father said. “Tell me the truth.”

“That is the truth!” Joey replied. “Every night you were gone, Mom’s boss, Mr. Reynolds, would come over to see Mom.

He’d give me a $20 bill and tell me to take a hike!”

AEON FLUX

last sunday mushy and i watched the much-awaited movie: AEON FLUX. here’s a synopsis of it:

The sci-fi actioner is set 400 years in the future, when disease has wiped out the majority of the earth’s population except for one walled, protected city-state, Bregna, ruled by a congress of scientists. The story centers on Aeon Flux( Charlize Theron), the top operative in the underground ‘Monican’ rebellion trying to overthrow the government. When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world of secrets…

the movie has really co0l-out-of-this-world visuals.. most of which are new and innovative.. one of me faves is aeon’s friend sithandra who had her legs changed to hands.. and the effects.. specially when aeon and sithandra were trying to penetrate the whatever building you call that.. the place was loaded with gimiks tryin to eliminate any intruders..

 i love this movie! its defnitly a must-see :D !!

Attitude of Gratitude

Friday, February 17, 2006

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.
 
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace… you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
 
If you woke up this morning with good health you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week.
 
If you have never experienced the danger of battle unfolding all around you, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation… you are ahead 500 million people in the world.
 
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of persecution, harassment, arrest, torture, or death… you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
 
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

what hurts most?

Thursday, February 16, 2006

..when you can’t fight for that one thing that would make you happy..

..I may never be the gurl you look forward to seeing every day..
but I will always be the gurl who will look out for you each and every day..

 
sadgurl: “don’t make me feel that i’m just a selfish jerk just because I made you cry”!
sadguy: “then don’t make me feel like I did nothing for you
when I almost died crying just to see you smile…”
 

Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity.
And so we ask ourselves: will our actions echo across the centuries?
Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone,
and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved?
 
love is when you can’t sleep..
it’s when you want to keep your eyes open..
love isn’t when you keep holding on..
it’s when you learn to let go..
love isn’t when you kill yourself with jealousy..
it’s when you understand..
 
love isnt’ when you fall for someone..
it’s when you catch that person when he falls..
love isn’t when you see his eyes everywhere..
it’s when you close your eyes and he is still there..
 
love isn’t when you tell her what you feel..
it’s when you give everything for her sake..
And love isn’t when you think you were blind..
it’s when you know she was wrong but you didn’t mind

GOD LOVES US

The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five.

Waiting  with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening  white pearls in a pink foil box.

“Oh mommy please, Mommy. Can I have  them? Please, Mommy, please?”

Quickly the mother checked the back of  the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her  little girl’s upturned face.

“A dollar ninety-five. That’s almost  $2.00. If you really want them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and  in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself.

Your  birthday’s only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma.”

As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and  coun ted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores  and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick  dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new  dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.

Jenny  loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up.

She wore  them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed.

The only  time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble  bath.

Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck  green.

Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready  for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a  story. One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love  me?”

“Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you.”

“Then give me  your pearls.”!

“Oh, daddy, not  my pearls. But you can have Princess, the white horse from my collection, the  one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She’s my very favorite.”

“That’s okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night.” And he  brushed her cheek with a kiss.

About a week later, after the story  time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me?”

“Daddy, you know  I love you.”

“Then give me your pearls.”

“Oh Daddy, not my  pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my  birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches  her sleeper.”

“That’s okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one.  Daddy! loves you.”

And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle  kiss.

A few nights! ! later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting  on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style.

As he came close, he  noticed her chin was tremb ling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.

“What is it, Jenny? What’s the matter?”

Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy.

And when she  opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she  finally said, “Here, daddy, this is for you.”

With tears gathering in  his own eyes, Jenny’s daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime  store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and  pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them  to Jenny.

He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give  up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it  is, with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the  cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful  treasures.

Isn’t God good? Are! you holding onto things that God  wants you to let go of? Are you holding on to harmful or  unnecessary partners, relationships, habits and activities that you have  come so attached to that it seems impossible to let go? Sometimes it is so  hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing:

God will never take away something without giving you something better in its  place.

Words Women Use

Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means “something” and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with “nothing” usually end in “fine.”

Go Ahead  This is a dare, not permission, DON’T DO IT!

Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men.  A “Loud Sigh” means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing.”

That’s Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. “That’s Okay” means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

Thanks
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you’re welcome andback out of the room slowly.

as we grow up…

  • We learn that even the  one person that was not supposed to ever let you down probably will.  
  • You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s  harder every time. You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt  when yours was broken.  
  • You will fight with your best friend.  
  • You  will blame a new love for things an old one did.  
  • You will cry because  time is passing too fast, and you will eventually lose someone you love. 
  • So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you have  never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of  happiness you will never get back.  
  • So send this to all of your friends  in the next 5 minutes and a miracle will happen  tonight.
