And here is something from Rajo Laurel (A little history: He has this on his blog, and a friend gave this to him, and he just wanted to share it... so, it's now on my page.) And I think I like it too... a lot. ^^

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.



2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.


3. Record your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning, complete the following statement,

“My purpose is to____ today.”


5. Live with the 3 E’s – - Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Watch more movies, play more games and read more books than you did in 2010.

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.


9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.

14. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid.


17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.


18. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.


19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.


20. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.


21. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.


22. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.


23. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.


24. Burn the candles, use the nice bed sheets, Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.


25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.


26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”


27. Forgive everyone for everything.


28. What other people think of you is none of your business.


29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.


30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. So stop complaining about the weather, the job, the rents etc., etc.


31. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.


32. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.


33. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.


34. The best is yet to come.


35. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.


36. Do the right thing!


37. Call your family often.


38. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:

“I am thankful for ___.” Today I accomplished ____.


39. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.


40. Enjoy the ride.. Remember that this is not Disney World and you certainly don’t want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.


Did you like it too? It's awesome, right? You can make it as your 2011-to-do-things or something like a New-year's-resolution kind of thing (But, do people still make those nowadays?)

Happy New Year everyone! God bless us all. ^^

Just want to post something I have read in Chuvaness.com which I think is suprisingly agreeable. ^^

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.



Do you guys agree? ^^

It has been a while since I have made an entry here, although I often visit here to visit another blog that I follow (yes, I'm guilty), and I'm sorry.

I missed the red-orange-gray color I specifically picked for this, which took me a good two days to be finally contented with it. But I'm also rocking for a plain-white one. But, I'll leave this as it is. *smiles*

I remembered having this blog, gave me a reason to sit-type and put down all the mementos or sentiments that I have. And, I missed that. Honestly. I just wish to have enough time to do all the things that I want to do. So, here goes my shot to keep up with my life...

I honestly don't know why I personally love this picture. All I know is, the moment I looked at it, I feel 'connected' (if you know what I mean). The bond, the love, the closeness, the openness, the comfortability. And being in a relationship like that on top, is what made me like this picture, I think. Don't you just love that image and imagining you are that girl in the tub with your beloved in the same room as you (or him) light a cigar, plus a bottle of wine, maybe? I love. *_*

Then, I found this picture on my desktop. And I remembered, I searched for this picture because I want to make a post about the boyfriend cooking food for me. As for the people who doesn't know, the boyfriend doesn't know how to cook, anything. Believe me, he doesn't. Oppose than what he says, that he sure knows how to cook fried-food, I say, "well, maybe.. yeah, a little." Believe me baby, he doesn't have any talent when it comes in the kitchen. That's why I was dumbfoundedly shocked when I went home one night on a smell of cooking food. Damn. Manually cooking rice was, hey, a big deal. Especially if you aren't that hands on in the kitchen. Plus, he cooked this viand.. scrambled egg with thinly-sliced hotdogs. It was heaven. The most special food I've ever eaten. If it's possible to not touch it and put it up on a frame, I could have done that. I swear. Then, it'll make you think: "Shhht, how I love going home to this." Husband points, check!

In four days, it'll be our tenth-month anniversary. It feels special. It feels different. Like, I'm on a familiar boat again. The "okay..here we go..." feeling. The boyfriend is.. my second long-shot relationship. Having a two-numbered anniversary is.. something to celebrate, right?

All I can say is that I am truly happy. I may not have the most-perfect other-half in the world, but I'm contentedly happy that he admits to being one of those real person who commits mistakes, tries hard not to do it again, stuff that he knows will hurt me. I'm completely satisfied that I have someone who is willing to work things out with me. Someone who knows that this will not be an easy fight, but he has the strongest heart to see this through. It feels good to have someone that, you know, wouldn't give up on you easily. We may be on a shaky ground at times, but I'm glad that I still find us, holding each other's hands after the stormy clouds passed.

So, to the man I love and will always love...

                                                        

Happy tenth-month anniversary to you my beloved one.

I will always love you. And I will always be here for you.

So, that's about it. Gotta go. Still have things to attend to. Ciao! xoxo

Something I did for you. I'm sorry if I have the red super shown (you already know why.. But not as much as I do to you, of course.)

I hope you like it. xoxo

Ang pagibig ay parang paggising ng puyat sa umaga.
Alam mo na dapat ka ng bumangon,
...ngunit pipikit ka pa rin at matutulog
......hangga't maari.

You have my heart. And it's yours to keep.
I love you mybabyhubbylove.üü

Earlier this day, our friend just departed to Japan. Vacation or permanently? We don't know. Have fun.ü

.. after our work hours, we are going to head straight to a private pool somewhere an hour away from our office for our team building. The boyfriend was supposedly coming but some problems at home changed that.

See you tomorrow, my dear. It feels different spending a Friday night without you. Well, I'll be back before you know it. And we'll spend together what remained of our weekend.

There's nothing greater that waking up on a Sunday morning in your arms. And that's what I'm loking forward to.

I love you. xoxo

Just felt putting an update. And to tell you, there are LOTS of things that happened. Ups and downs.
The last time I was here was telling you about the fight that the boyfriend and I had. And of course, the pictures I just wanted to post for sharing :)

So here goes, the boyfriend and I had a major fight. I can't remember the exact date (and I'm sorry. I promise I will take note of the dates and happenings from now on.), maybe it was last, last week. All I can remember are not the exact details, so this will be a little fragmented. I think It started with, a day where after he coming home from school and I don't get a lot of text from him. I remembered us talking about something, (something about ex.es and jealousy I guess, that I think was a little shallow.) and I thought that pissed him of a bit, that when I received a text, "Let's drink". I replied, "Go, and make sure to get drunk.". Then he replied that his father was inviting him to drink to celebrate a worker's birthday. And I was like 'Okay'. Later, it dawned on me that that was a wrong sent, and was supposedly be for friends whom he is inviting to drink too, WHEN he doesn't even send me anything. Liqour and friends before me? Okay, I'm pissed this time. But not entirely until he texted me when my work hours has ended. There were two texts. One was, "You go here love, okay?", and I replied without reading the other text yet "Where?" ('coz I don't know if they are at their house or at their commercial building). When I read the second text "[name here], [name here], [name here].... are here". And I was like, how come I didn't know you inviting them, them going there and the process? That ticked everything. And I shut my phone off. I guess what he did made me feel neglected. I dunno. I don't like the idea that he informed everyone else first before me, and I don't like the fact that there are girls I'm not comfortable hanging around with. So, theres the jealousy kicks in. And I was like "Are you the only one who has the right to get jealous?". While I had given up the okay-casual-relationship with my ex.es, you get to hang out with yours?

I texted my mother instead, using my dear friend's phone, to pick me up from my drop off point. And I went home straight. Luckily, I was left alone at home. I was so mad back then. I can't explain the feeling. Thought of one thing that led to another and led to another. I'm just so pissed about everything. I started writing down how I feel. Every single thing that pissed me off. I can't remember how many bond paper pages that was (the last time I wrote was 4 pages). But it was definitely A LOT. That it took me 4 or 5 hours(??) to finish. While writing, I turned my phone on every hour for 15 mins. At the first hour, I received his 'off-line' messages. But the succeeding hours, nada. So that pissed me off more. Knowing that he doesn't even checked on me, whether I'm still alive or did I get home safely. I expected him checking me at home if in case he is definite that I'm mad, but he didn't. I decided I will get some sleep, that's around 6am. And I'm quite sure that's the time I heard his motorcycle too, which means he just went home. So, before going to bed I called their house, talked to their househelper and asked about the boyfriend. And, he's at home. And yes, he just arrived. So, that did it. I tried hard to sleep, and I did. After waking up, I checked my phone, and not a single text from him. Not telling me that he's home or whatsoever. This time, I called him. I told him that he's too much then I dropped the call. Then he started calling me back. I rememebered not answering my phone, calling our other friend, had a little talk but really wanted to know about what time they finished and some details. I remembered calling their house again and checked whether he went to school. And he didn't, of course. He's just too wakeful and tired to go to school. Another thing to be pissed off. It's okay to get drunk and stay out late, just make sure you won't take for granted your responsibilities. So, I went on my routine. Prepared for work, but before leaving, I left the letter at their house. At the van, I called him and told him that I gave a letter to their househelper. So, there. I said it all. We talked. He apologized. I think I heard what I needed to hear then. I also knew that he called mother to check on me. And mom told him that I'm already at home. So he checked on me, and he knew that I'm mad. The hangover of the fight stayed for how many days, almost a week I think. Little thing pisses me off. Something happened when he's on a friend's 'despidida' party. We were texting, and one thing led to another. Fought again. With my hangover of the fight and all, I dropped the phone. Texted him about something. And he went home (my place) immediately. And told me "Don't say that again". [I just want to hug him, when this soft side of him appears.] So there. We oftentimes fought. When one disagrees about something and the other agrees. When one approves and one disapproves. Misunderstandings. Fights, fights and fights. We just need to remember that, There is no true love without the fights.

All of it were bearable. Nothing that I can't handle. He is a man under construction. What he needs is someone who has enough patience to accept that this will not be an easy process. There will be countless times of fighting. And times that giving up seems to have more sense than staying.

But after all of these, I'm staying. xoxo

P.s. I'm gonna tell you next time about good things. Maybe tomorrow.

       Happy sixth-month anniversary. I love you so much.

I just want to share some of the momentos me and the boyfriend shares^^

These are taken last February 14th at Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay. It was an hour and a half ride from us. A little far for a dinner. And we went there with the boyfriend's 'rents. The ambiance is good. The food, well, it was okay. So here goes...

Before we left. At the boyfriend's house. Around 7:30 pm. And a little nervous. Going out with the boyfriend's 'rents. That makes me so jittery. Eeeesh. [parents. parents.]

It was like a forest-like place. Beautiful.ü

Outside the common hall. After eating.

I love you.

The shot is a little far. But gives you an idea of the place we had this shot. Cute isn't?üü

Yes. We are going to make more memories together. Happy moments - Happy memories. xoxo
