(right Gaga!)

 

Here are some pictures from around the world which i have been able to snug in cyberspace.  So come OUT, come OUT wherever you ARE!!!!

 

Learning Life 101 (finale)

LESSON 91

I’ve heard its possible to grow up,

I’ve just never met anyone who’s done it.

Were all like children… we throw tantrums when things don’t go our way;

we cry in our rooms when the pain gets too tough;

we yearn for innocence when life throws reality,

and like children… we hope and keep on hoping

LESSON 92

At times I’m sad about what’s going on in my life…

but I always believe in one permanent fact:

everything changes and tomorrow is definitely different… am hoping that it’ll be different

LESSON 93

I don’t believe in the word ‘REGRET’, I believe in the phrase ‘I screwed up, I learned from it and hope for the best’

LESSON 94

Trials in life are like washing machines.

They twist us, spin us and knock us around

but in the end, we come out cleaner, brighter and better than before

LESSON 95

You can’t predict what gonna happen…but sometimes the thing you didn’t expect is what you really wanted after all.

Maybe the best thing to do is stop trying to figure out where you’re going and just enjoy where you’re at.

LESSON 96

Its better not to mind the things that depresses you.

Because it only makes you weak inside and out.

There’s a lot of things you can give your time into.

Don’t get stuck with the things that ruins your day…

just chill and live your life

LESSON 97

Whenever you feel weak, remember those who make you stronger

& whenever you start to doubt yourself, remember those who believe in you

LESSON 98

Sometimes we put too much passion on the biggest dreams and priorities in life that we fail to love the smallest pleasures from simple things.

We search so much for the right choices,

for the right paths to walk through,

for the right reasons…

but life isn’t about searching for the right things that can be found…

it is about letting the unexpected happen and finding things you never searched for.

LESSON 99

In  tough times, stay motivated by looking at how far you’ve come, rather than how far you have to  go. Always count your blessings, not what’s missing.

LESSON 100

Dont regret the things you’ve done.

Regret the things you didnt do when you had the chance.

LESSON 101

When life is hard to deal with, just remember this:  never give reason to stop and be quiet but remember, a brave soldier also know when to wave his white flag

lessons of FRIENDSHIP from cartoons

If your friend is too frank that what he says hurts you… don’t get mad because DONKEY once told SHREK ‘only friends can be cruelly honest’

A lesson from NARUTO – A person becomes stronger not because he know a lot of special techniques, but because he has someone very important to protect

an example of true friendship and loyalty:

spongebob: what do you usually do when im gone?

Patrick: nothing, just waiting for you to come back

Learning Life 101 (part 8)

LESSON 71

A great life is not about routine but doing something rare.

Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them.

Have fun with your difficulties but overcome them

LESSON 72

The paradox of life: everybody wants to live a long life, but nobody wants to get old.

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

And nobody seems to realize that in our lifes journey no one has ever reached the finish line alive

LESSON 73

Seek the highest wisdom not by arguments of words but by perfection of our life,

not by speech but by faith that comes from simplicity of the heart.

LESSON 74

Unconsciously, we choose how we see people: when we like someone, we are tolerant.  When we don’t, we focus on their faults.  Its not other peoples true persona that determines how we feel about them…its our attitude.

LESSON 75

Have the courage to be the person you want to be . it doesn’t matter how crazy your dream is.

It is your life, you and only you can dictate how to live it.  Life it your way, laugh or smile everytime you have the chance.  Keep your cool, face life with youthful optimism and mature understanding.  Stay safe but learn to take risks sometimes.  Try out something new once in a while so you don’t stagnate.  You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. You’re a child of god, therefore you are loved and beautiful.  Live life to the fullest

LESSON 76

In life we always search for answers because we want to prove ourselves that we made the right decisions but the TRUTH is we cant search for whats not there. Things happen because its meant to happen.  That’s why we forgive people even if they hurt us, we love people who don’t love us and we smile despite every painful crash in our hearts.  At the end of the day the lessons you get are the answers to your decisions

LESSON 77

In your life, you’ll take note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, who willl always mean something.  There’s the one you 1^st kissed, the one you first loved, the one who 1^st broke your heart, the one you will put on pedestal, the one your with right now and the who got away.

That person with whom everything was perfect but timing was just wrong.  No fault in the person, no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just don’t fall the right way

LESSON 78

Our lives are books…each day is a page. We cant erase what has already been written, but we can always try to make the next page better

LESSON 79

The measure of a matured person is not how well they prepare for everything to go right but on how they stand up and move on after everything goes wrong

LESSON 80

I used to think that GOD’s gifts were on shelves one above another…the older we get and the taller we grow, the easier we can reach them.  Now I realize that GOD’s gift are on shelves one beneath another… the lower we stoop the more we get.  It is good deeds we do, the kind words we speak, the love we give and the humility we show that help us stoop down to find our real treasures

Salamat…Tita Cory

 

CORY AQUINO … for you are truly a part of our lives that shaped our minds and ideals for what

a TRUE President should be.  

 

You are more than a President to us … you are our sympathetic sister, caring grandmother

 

and  a loving mother.

 

You serve as an inspiration to a gloomy and sometimes chaotic world. You’re a beckon of hope when times get rough and the sun seems to hide behind the black clouds.  

 

Now that you are gone, we hope and pray for your guiding soul to shed light upon us mere mortals
Tita Cory, we will truly miss you. We love you

 

and share thy angel wings in protecting peace and democracy.

I’m attaching aglimpse from Tita Cory’s pass below including a glimpse of her life, success and trials through Associated Press clip.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100 doses of inspiration (series 2)

 

Dose 11:  GOD always plan the best things for us, sometimes we feel being left out but actually

GOD is saving the better one than what we actually asked for.  

  

Dose 12:  Facing life’s challenges is never easy, were struggling in many ways, ‘GOD may not give us all the easy way but he gives all the love we need to carry on

 

Dose 13: 

One day I asked GOD for a bunch of beautiful flowers. But instead HE gave me a cactus with thorns.  

 

Later I asked HIM to give me butterflies.  But instead he gave me worms.  

  

I was disappointed and wept.  

 

But few days after, ‘I have noticed that the cactus bloomed with beautiful flowers and the worms became butterflies.  All things will be made beautiful, in the perfect time and place. GOD’s time is the best.  

 

Dose 14:  Sometimes we think we have so little:  

 

Little blessings, little work, little salary, little allowance.  

But if we start to appreciate the little things in life, we will find out that we have so much:  

 

So much of FAMILY and FRIENDS, so much of TRUST and so much of GOD in our hearts

 

Dose 15:  

GOD will never leave you empty. He will always replace whatever you’ve lost.  

If HE asks you to put something down, it’s because he wants you to pick up something better.  

  

Dose 16:  The ROAD TO SUCCESS is not straight.

There is a curve called FAILURE, a loop called CONFUSION, speed bumps called FRIENDS, red lights called ENEMIES, caution lights called FAMILY. You will have flats called JOBS

but if you have a spare called DETERMINATION, an engine called PERSEVERANCE, insurance called FAITH and driver called GOD until you make it to a place called SUCCESS

 

Dose 17:

 Though my days have been hell at times,
I still reserve a reason to smile.

 

Though destiny seemed to test my strength,I’m still keeping my faith

 

 

Because I know that after every tear that falls from my eyes comes a new spark of happiness that is even greater than every pain I felt. So keep believing on happy endings

 

 

Dose 18:  Trials exist not because GOD wants to test you.
Trials exist because you need to learn one thing…

 

That is a lie.

 

HE already knows your capabilities, more than you could imagine - 

FAITH

 

Dose 19: 

 

See, sow and surrender your dreams to GOD. He will answer your prayers and he is preparing the best version of YOU.

 

Dose 20:  

if you leave something wonderful with those who share your life with, they will find it hard to erase you from their hearts because LITTLE THINGS MATTER MOST

Doctrines of Friendship

our last trip to galera 2007 

In a course of a year, how many times did you changed or shop for shoes?  How many times do you change the shirt you will about to wear before your hot date?  Or how many times did you change your boyfriend in a week? 

 

Once…

Twice…

Thrice…

 

In times where ‘convenience’ is the main subject in a fast and trendy lifestyle, isn’t it neat if you could just save something from the past that you dearly adore.  Like an old photograph of your 1^st birthday or the first medal y won from a poetry contest.  How about the picture of your first love or the first necklasce you father gave you before he passws away.  This are simple momentos that money cannot buy and no one could take it out from you.

 Just like friendship and the tie that binds.

 I sort of thought of it one morning when I found myself sleeping with a friend of mine who is now based in Kuwait.  I look upon her and smiled. 

 ‘Antagal na rin pala naming magkaibigan ng bruhang ito!   Since high school pa kami nagkakilala at naging magkaibigan officially nang nasa college and since then hindi na kami napaghiwalay kahit milya milya man ang layo naming sa isa’t isa  Tuloy pa rin ang communication at patuloy na hinahanap hanap ang kakulitan and kapilyahan ng isat isa.  Though minsan maldita kami sa ista isa, di mapagkakaila na kulang ang isang araw sa balitaktakan at kuwentong di maubos ubos.  Ilang taon na rin ang nagdaan at sari saring lalaki na rin ang dumaan at naging karelasyon pero eto pa rin kami…magkaibigan.’

 So here I am, as a tribute to friendship and sisterhood, I’m starting a series that is purely dedicated to a long lasting relationship.  Cheers!!!

 

Doctrine 1

It is my friends who made the story of my life.  In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges and enabled me to walk serene and happy in the shadow cast by my deprivation.  My friends are my oasis, encouraging me to go on.  They are essential to my well being. Thank you for everything! I could never afford to lose any of you…and definitely not you!

 

Doctrine 2

I waited 9 months to see the world..

1 year to walk..

2 years to talk..

5 years to start studying but I really waited too many years to find a wonderful friend like you

 

Doctrine 3

The moment I give myself a chance to know you, I didn’t get disappointed. Instead I have found myself very lucky to have you as my friend and I hope you would stay beyond forever.

 

Doctrine 4

The biggest blessing in our life is simply the presence of people who care much, whose love is for real and see us much beyond ourselves.

 

Doctrine 5

Without a map i found you. Without a reason, we become friends. 

So if you feel there is no one beside you and everyone doesn’t care..

You’ll see without a clue, a map or a reason…you’ll find me standing next to you.

 

Doctrine 6

I’d rather have a friend who:

1. Slaps me in front of many people than being stabbed at my back.

2. Curses me in front of face than being talked behind me

3. Talks shit and says my faults than being insulted without me even noticing

4.  Leaves me but knows when to come back than being with someone whose mind isn’t with me at all

I want a real friend, the one who can hurt me but will heal the pain. 

Not some fake once, who pretend to be there listening but doesn’t act at all

 

Doctrine 7

Friends are like sunsets, you maybe sharing  with them only a few hours of the day but you know that they will always be there tomorrow, the next day and the day after forever

 

Doctrine 8

Do you know the mark of ‘true friendship’ worth keeping for the rest of your life?

It’s when you become impossible to deal with yet they stay.

 

Doctrine 9

One stone is enough to break a glass

One sentence is enough to break a heart

One second is enough to fall in love and

One friend like you is enough to live a happy life.

 

Doctrine 10

Don’t count your friends on a sunny day when the sky is blue and the laughter is abundant instead wait for a storm when the clouds are dark and scarce.  When someone stands beside you and lifts your spirit to the sky.  Then you’ll know who deserves to be called a friend.

Learning Life 101 (part 6)

herewith is the 6th series of Learning Life 101.  Hoping for your enlightenment!

 LESSON 61

True strength of character is not just calculated by how well we manage to carry some sizable load under challenging situations, but is perhaps better measured by our ability to remain kind and light spirited..

 even when were sure that we cant bear the weight of one more ounce of life…

 

LESSON 62

Why do we have repeated experiences? 

It’s because repeated experiences have one aim: – to teach the thing you refuse to learn.

 

LESSON 63

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing

 

LESSON 64

Some won’t appreciate what you say or do…

but as long as you speak honestly from the heart and let them see who you really are, you’ll be fine.  This is not a perfect world; this is not a perfect life.  So live life the way you want because no matter what you do, people would never run out of something to say

 

LESSON 65

When you’ve done something wrong, admit it and be sorry. 

No one has ever choked to death from swallowing his pride.

 

LESSON 66

Life involves a fight, a race and a test.  When things get tough, remember your identity. 

You’re a fighter, you’re a finisher, and you’re a faithful conqueror of GOD

 

LESSON 67

The hardest lessons and problems in life are also the most precious ones… you know why?

They force us to face our weaknesses and fears. 

But above all, they unleash hidden strengths we never know we had

 

LESSON 68

In my existence, I realized that happiness is a very subjective factor in once life.  Being happy doesn’t depend on achieving what you want, but rather making the best out of what is give.

 

Life isn’t fair, it never was… the only thing that can make you completely happy is contentment.  Be content on what you achieve, but be sure to aim high and never stop believing you can do better every time.  But if all else fails, don’t forget that an ordinary you has an extraordinary GOD to back you up.

 

LESSON 69

Life only becomes meaningful when we live it with purpose, when we survive every trial and anticipate positively every tomorrow with hope and dedication

                                       

LESSON 70

A humble person is like a lighthouse… it doesn’t ring bells nor fire guns to call attention to its luminance…it merely shines.

the MOST INSPIRING MESSAGES if your EX comes back

It’s time for you to hold up the flag of freedom.  Your EX came back out from nowhere.  He kept on texting you.  He kept on forwarding sappy messages about ‘love and longing’. He kept on e-mailing mushy stuff about ‘forgiveness’ and ‘can we work things out kind-of-thing’.  Hell, he was even talking with your sister after decades of anonymity. 

 

He has this lame excuse all tucked in his belt.

 

But YOU on the other hand, after you claim sanity back to the ‘land of the living’, happy being single and contented with what you are currently doing right now (we could shortlist it to ‘flirting’ and ‘reading daily horoscopes’).  You even found a new a hobby such as collecting stamps and tried out new sports you haven’t tried before like kickboxing, archery, masonry etc.  In short, you’re happy being single with the company of friends and family.  You can finally say ‘‘naknamputsa, who needs his cheating white ass after all’.

 

Now, he is back. The guy who left you…  The guy whom you worship walked out because of some lame excuse. 

 

‘I think we are not meant with each other’

‘We are two different people’

‘I just wanted some space…’

‘it’s not you…its me..’

‘I just want to think things over’

 

You can still remember how heavy the sky is in which it has pulled all its weight on you.  How many barrels of tears you shed and the number of plates you smashed at the wall.

 

What will you do?  How will you let him know that you’re no longer in love with him and of course slap him with your sweet revenge?  Here are some of the most inspiring text messages I’ve had collected that you could send him either through text or email…

 

ENJOY!

 

revenge text number 1

Some people say that you don’t have to know what you have until you lose it, but it’s not like that…you always know what you have, you just never thought you would lose it

 

revenge text number 2

Here is something from Ally McBeal that touched me

 

‘If you see me walking the road with someone else, it is not because I like that person’s company, it is because you were not brave enough to walk beside me. If you hear me talking about that person all the time, it is not because that person pleases me, it is because you were too deaf to hear my heart beats.  If you feel me falling with someone new, it is not because I love that person, it is because you were not there to catch me as I fall.’

 

revenge text number 3

Learn to love the person who’se willing to love you at present! Forget the person in the past and learn to thank them for hurting you which lead you to the right person you have right now. 

 

THANK YOU FOR BEING MY PAST.

 

revenge text number 4

Don’t be cold to someone you care about…just because you that person couldn’t realize your worth.  Instead be nice to him so he could realize what he has been missing.

 

revenge text number 5

SOMETIMES you need to be deaf for the sake of somebody

You need to be insensitive to lessen the pain

You need to smile for the strength of others

 

And sometimes…

You just need to stop…because you’re tired of everything

 

revenge text number 6

I sometimes miss the comfort of having someone but I’m getting used to being alone.  I’ve learned to let go, proud to say I moved on and that time has made me strong.  I screwed up at one point, its stupid, I know but life goes on after all and finally I know what I truly deserve… a peace of mind and not a piece of shit

 

revenge text number 7

when someone leaves you, don’t hope and wait for that person to come back…feel good about yourself and say: ‘thanks for giving me the chance to find someone better than you’

 

revenge text number 8

when you leave, you never begin to consider the possibility, in leaving the best you’ve had so far,  you are leaving the best you’ll ever have

– eliot perlman

 

revenge text number 9

you’ll never find anybody that achieves great success in life without a give up story.  Nothing comes free… and there will come a time when you will find that you too will have to give up something good if you want something better.  Thank you for being the one reason why I want to be better.

 

revenge text number 10

a single mistake can change your whole life. From then you’ll see how the little things you ignore meant everything.  Thank you for admitting your wrong since I will never be yours ever again. I moved on

 

BONUSE revenge text for YOU

I don’t worry too much about the people who hurt me right now because eventually they will know my worth and someday they will die.  And I’m patiently waiting
