An Early Christmas Present

Honestly, I am exhausted. After spending three days with my client, my body seems to give up. I was so tired because I ate a lot..funny..hahahaha... Well, two of our clients from the US visited us to build stronger employer-employee relationship. They also wanted to tell us about their vision for the coming year (2007). We discussed many things about projects, expectations and needed improvements. We also had team-building activities that made my stomach ache due to extensive laughing. We also exchange ideas about culture, values and lifestyles. Overall, it's a successful conference. I gained 3 pounds and I think I looked like 'pot belly' pigs. I was so grateful to the two of them. I thank them for the good food (order all you can), for their kindness and open minds...and most of all for their early Christmas present..... *image is from http://store.apple.com ++what a cute ipod......hehehe

#13 Goodbye My Dragonfly

Fly to your new world Explore the gravity of sharing Now that you're gone My world stopped to sought the sun The garden of my happiness Is now covered with loneliness The apple of my joy All died and has been destroyed No more beauty No more fragrance No more dragonfly To brighten my lonesome paradise Work...It all ends So, I cry in the leaves of the past Don't know where to start Still looking for that dragonfly Goodbye! Goodbye! Heaven declared: John will die, You must say bye to the dragonfly And to the garden who witness all the tears.. ++written for a friend.....

Be... Still... Know

This article is from: Daily Wisdom For everything there is a season. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:1-7 I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. Psalm 62:1 (NLT) First it looked sort of foggy. After the sun burned away the mist, we could see the beautiful hot air balloon. I wondered if it was quiet up there in the basket, under the balloon. I've not ever been up in one of those, but when I tried paragliding, the noise of the wind currents surprised me. I had totally expected silence. Quiet. Not an easy thing. A prayer I find myself saying often (maybe too often!) is for my mouth to stay closed at the right times, and not say anything, as well as prayers to say the right thing. It's difficult for me to be still. Period. I'm a fairly active person. If I'm not up and doing something, I am thinking of what I will do when I do get up and going. I was reminded, about two weeks after seeing the hot air balloon, about this bein

Getting Back My Sanity

After 5 days of losing grip to my sanity, I finally have it back in its regular shape. Last week, I was crazily worried with my boyfriend due to the fact that he was stranded in an island because of a typhoon. He was not able to send a message to me and to his family. God only knows how I spent those days, lack of sleep and couldn't eat. Alas! Monday came ad my boyfriend was back..to all my friends, thank you so much for the prayers....i was relieved..so happy...and i'm back to life's track.

Waiting and Worrying

The typhoon "Reming" is on it's second day here in the Philippines. Some provinces were severely affected. Many families evacuated to their corresponding shelters, trees were being uprooted, debris were flying, some people died. But here in Iloilo City, the sun is beaming on us. Today is a bright and sunny holiday (the president declared a holiday in honor of Andres Bonifacio). A day perfect for picnic and swimming. I should celebrate my birthday today because I wasn't able to do it yesterday....but where am I? Here in the office, facing my pc, waiting and worrying. I can't help it. I'm really worried about my boyfriend. I trust God but I can't stop this human nature. He's been out there, stranded in Masbate where PAGASA raised the signal of the typhoon to #2. Gosh, I can't just sit here and wait for nothing. I have not received any text message from him today....Oh know...I don't know what to do....I wasn't able to eat properly and to sle

Counting Blessings On My Birthday

Today is my birthday. I’m living for 23 years here on earth, too long for just wandering under the bright sun. Today, even though I’m quite busy with my work, I’ll pause for a while to examine and take a look upon the blessings I have though I know I may not worth it. ++ I thank God for my life…though sometimes I think I’m worthless. Well, everybody plays a role in the ecosystem. Look at the planktons, algae, earthworms…etc.. ++I thank God for my family… though they were not perfect and no matter what they do we still belong to the same bloodline. ++ I thank God for my work… though I am not really happy with it still it feeds my sister and me. ++ I thank God for my country (Philippines)… though other nations viewed it as corrupt, poor, and “nanny outsourcing” counrty still, I am proud to be Pinoy… gifted…talented…dedicated. ++ I thank god for my friends… though some of them were out of reach, at least they will be in my treasure chest forever. ++ I thank G

#12 I Can't Foget You

I tried to say that I don’t love you But I’m a fool if I do Cause you’re my strength and my joy My shield in every journey You are so special in my heart I don’t know why but I’m hurt To say how much I love you Though I cannot show it to you I think for many times To ignore you in my heart Still you’re the one who owns No one can ever blown Your eyes are like thorns Of roses which begun to glow And also begun to grow In my heart full of sorrow Go! Go! I don’t love you Even if it hurts me so I will just keep it to myself Without expressing to thy self You! Oh so cute girl Cause to make my life curl Making it so ugly Like a lily in a deserted valley Why? I asked God Such question may be senseless But I really need to know What God has tried to show? How amazing life is Harder than the stone But God made you To make me glow Facing you I cannot do Loving me you can’t do too But only one thing I’ll

#11 How Can I Doubt Him

How can I doubt Him? How can I fear? When I know Jesus Is standing so near? When I know that Jesus Is walking by my way All of my nights And all of my days He is my Master I am His Slave He is the King I owe Him everything Help me remember That Christ is by my side Never forgetting The grace that He supplied His love lives forever As I'll serve Him each day Dear God, help me honor His steadfast love every day

A Daddy's Tribute (Maybe)

Her hair was up in a ponytail Her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, And she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, That she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, If she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; She knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates Of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, For her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, She tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, Eager to tell them all. About a dad she'd never see A dad who never calls. from: "Daily Thoughts" http://eesutant.blogspot.com/ Yesterday, I was randomly surfing for other blogs and something made me stop when I was viewing this blog. I saw this poem about "a daddy". I felt that I was that little girl and her daddy was mine. My dad was staying at home and was living with us but he seemed to be a tiny speck in my life. He was

Once in a Lifetime

it only happens ONCE, not twice, the moments vanishing like mice, scurrying past , life much too fast, and only for the very brave, the strong, the true, and when the moment comes for you, don't let it pass you by, for in the twinkling of an eye, the love is gone, the moment's dead, an empty ringing in your head, your heart will know when fate has whispered in your ear... oh never fear, beloved friend, for in the end it's worth the price, the fee, the cost, when all is lost but love is won, when true love comes, there is but ONE. "Once in a Lifetime"-- Danielle Steel ++ my favorite danielle steel's book...i really liked the story...indeed true love only happens once in a lifetime....

#10 Where Is God?

Where is God? I asked one day Down the road as I made my way Sadness gripped me all around It seemed my world had sent Him out Where is God? I asked one day The trees were bare. The sky was gray Then looking down, to my surprise I saw Him in my lover's eyes. ++he had written this during the times when he 's wondering if God still cares for him. he then realized that somewhere somehow God is using some people to show him the love and care he's looking for. and i'm on the top of this list......

#09 A Risk Worth Taking

She is the girl I can’t forget Of all the things she never regret For all the time that she spent She was hurt, though I didn’t meant How could I repay her? All her life to me she care She neglect her own Calvary She carries my own destiny I promised her the lovely moon Instead I gave a rose of stone I saw her tears they were made of thorns I then killed myself with the pride of horns She made a risk worth taking I find myself from dying to living She extends her arms of love I saw the light I fell in love Now she’s the ink of my pen The stars of my dream Composer of my life’s hymn She’s Hannah the amazing woman I’ve ever seen. JOHN ++ i've got to delay my to-post list here in my blog..i'm so flattered with this poem..he just made this yesterday...after so many years finally, i've got one. a risk woth taking, the exact words that can describe our relationship

Starry, Starry Night

One starry night hundred of years ago, a man named Galileo stares into the sky through a telescope he had designed. He discovered more about moons, planets, stars and the universe. He hypothesized that God was holding the universe together through mathematical “laws” that kept it in place and ticking like a well-designed clock. Three days ago, I saw the stars…the most beautiful ones. For me, only few sights are more inspiring than a star-filled sky especially when you view it with the person you love the most. Last weekend, I went to Roxas City to visit my boyfriend. We had a dinner of grilled catfish, squid, pork chop, and chicken liver and gizzard (only in the Philippines ) in one of the cottages along the beach. With this feast, I forgot about my diet and ate all I can put in my stomach. After that delicious dinner, we decided to take a walk. Then, I had the glimpse of the most beautiful stars I’ve ever seen. Though millions of miles away, they seemed so close that I felt

#08 Fallen Leaves Of Roses

Time just come and time may go Roses don't remain to grow and glow It's leaves sometimes fall in time of snow Take care of it to preserve its glow Days are not enough to flourish it again So many pieces might had been missing God is the only way who can make it bloom again Perfect is He who can give us rain Lovely roses turn into ugly ones Not as the same as those have been gone Faded petals were fallen on the ground Blown by the wind, creating no sound Outer beauty now has gone away Fast as the weather who once betray It's too late to rearrange it in proper way Look what you've done! Now, leaves of roses fade away.

The Blue Pill or the Red Pill?

Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence (a life sentence). Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor's degree and the woman gets her masters. A married life is full of excitement and frustrations. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the NEIGHBOURS listen. Love is a long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock. At a cocktail party, one woman said to another...AREN'T YOU WEARING YOUR RING ON THE WRONG FINGER? The other replied, YES, I AM, I MARRIED THE WRONG MAN. A Man is incomplete until he gets married, then he is finished. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss. Oooppss! I am not an anti-marriage person nor planning to get married soon. It was after having this little chat with

ROLLER COASTER

The climb is slow. I see the top. I must persevere; it's not time to stop. Apprehesion fills my mind. As I go higher, I leave more behind. The crest! It's just up ahead. My hands hold tight to this track-bound sled. Whoa! The wind . . . the force is taking my breath away. I'm dropping down like a wounded jay, Falling, falling to the lowest pit, Heading south with no brakes to hit. Help! Now I'm spinning 'round. I'm catching glimpses of the ground. The sky is twisting, I'm a stunt jet in flight; I'm feeling sick and there's no end in sight. Now dipping, cutting, rising, turning - my mind is racing and my gut is churning. I simply want off! I want it to end! There! I see the final bend. But, WHAT? The ride keeps going! It's not stopping . . . it's not even slowing! I'm back to the climb, back to the start. This ride of my life is hard on my heart! The reality is, in our daily highs and lows, that nothing is constant - life rolls and flows.

#07 Take my Heart in the Palm of You're Hand

#06 Pie of My Life

Realizing the truths of life, I found someone who gave me life. In behalf of my silence, I’m still pursuing to reach my dreams. All my life I’ve been searching, All my life I’ve been wanting, To find the sweetest pie, And I saw it as I stare in your eye. Across the miles I found you, The smile that beams within you, Touches my heart and let it tremble, Makes me happy and comfortable. Your eyes are like thunder, Your presence is like a wave That when I come unto you I feel that I have no strength too. In my dreams I couldn’t find you, But in my heart you’re always true, My heart is always open to welcome you, To let you in and not to let you go. Your voice in a far away place, Was like a bird, singing for its praise To the One who created you, To the One who give me love to love you. I wrote this poem to see you bloom, To inspire you in your own home, ‘Cause you’re my only pie I wish I won’t be shy ++ how he lo

#05 Wrapped in Dirty Wrapper

See yourself in a distance You can reach until France Always looking for something Found a lot then gain nothing Morning has broken Now you’re forsaken You can’t find the right way of living You can’t trace the right way of thinking Wrapped in a dirty wrapper A hidden precious pearl Shining in the darkness Coping with all the lonely days Pray and then don’t go astray God will lead you in a hay Where the little boy once lay Suffered, died and betrayed The beauty is foretold The innocent has been called To see the rainbow away That prepares for another day ++written after he was "dumped" by the girl.

#04 Sunshine in the Dark

darkness in one side of you picture it out in another view loneliness beyond the blue what would you do? you cannot see it in the dark light your candle and see the light see the beauty of an old ark in a day full of mark J colors your day E makes you happy S gives you smile US, partners in every mile in every darkness of life there’s a shining sun so bright covers the dark, making it light something shown and became white live like a shining star where people see you from afar inspiring them as they go on to live life full of turns ++ written to inspire his friends when they had a problem on their college

Yawn! Yawn! Yawn!

What makes you yawn? Long, dull lectures? Your roommate’s endless talking about someone? Boring sermons? As for me, it's my monotonous, drudging daily routine, my work. This leads me to wonder why people yawn. What makes a person contort his or her face, stretch his or her mouth wide open, take a deep breath, and sigh? I found the answer to an article I have read, and here it goes: the shallow breathing, stuffy air, or anxiety can deplete oxygen in our bodies. So God equipped us with deep-breath reflex response that is designed to send a rush of oxygen to the rescue. Aside from this technical explanation, yawns or sighs usually signal tiredness, nervousness, or boredom. As I read further, I have learned that there is also a "sigh of the soul". And yes, I agree with it for sometimes I also tried to find the true meaning of life. Time after time my spirit ends up crying, "Everything is meaningless". Sometimes, everything seemed to produce a sigh of emptine

#03 If I Die Will You Miss Me?

If I die would you cry? If I die can you still smile? If you see me flying high, Saying goodbye with a cry. I'll die without saying, "I love you". Without telling that I miss you, But for sure I'll still continue To reach out for you I wish in my burial, I'll see your face before I go Before I leave this earth of sorrow Before I'm gone and let you go. How sad it is if you'll not miss me But don't worry for I'll never be As sad as in my memory In my heart you'll always stay. ++ this poem was written for my boyfriend's bestfriend. but i doubt it, i think he wrote this for the "girl", this was made after several months of not talking to "her".

Life In The Eyes Of A Child

Life is like a box of chocolates, full of flavors, full or surprises but somehow you'll never know what's in store for you. According to one of my college friends, "Life sucks when we grow up!". Indeed, there's a truth beyond this pessimistic quote. When I'm still young and careless, life was nothing but a piece of cake. I, then, remembered the book (To Kill a Mockingbird) I have read months ago. For me, it's the perfect example of life in child's perspective. Looking back, I can't help but to smile as I reminisce those memories, a life without complications. I used to play with our neighbors and forgot to eat on time. As a result, I had an ulcer which causes me trouble until now. I enjoyed every single day as if it was my last. I was pleased to receive presents (birthday and xmas). Every Sunday, I attended our “Sunday School", a bible class geared to guide every child in his or her journey here on earth. In school, all I have to do was to mem

#02 What If You're Gone

During my youngest days I don't know where is my place Whether in a far away hill Or in the place where I'll be killed Then one day I started to fall in love I know it's a gift from up above But then how come you go away? You made me cry, I felt betrayed I have no hope, I was lost Deep inside there's a hole, I felt worst Why life is so unfair? One day you're here and then suddenly disappear Happiness that I once gain Turned into sadness and great pain All my effort were in vain Useless and out of flame Now that you're suddenly gone Gone 'till the dawn of the sun I think it's a mystery Than can create a big tragedy It's time for me to say goodbye Remembering all, then I cry Looking at the dark sky Wishing that I'll just die If you are gone I will treasure that you're the one Who would mold me into a better man Who can do anything as long as there's sun... ++this poem was given to me..but honestly speaking, i don't know if this is reall

The Ultimate Sob Story

My boyfriend broke up with me. My family hated me. I flunked on three major exams. I got my first grade below 2.0. But there's good news too. God still loved me. It may sound like a sad country tune but it all came true for me one semestral break, a few weeks before my birthday. I was anxious and in despair, and I felt as if everything I loved and wanted was abruptly taken away...my family...my love...my dreams...my life... I didn't see much hope for me. I always found myself in our school's prayer garden, crying my heart out. I felt miserable and lost for a few months. I knew I should let go and let God do his ultimate plan for me. But I couldn't, or it's better to say that I wouldn't. I chose to travel the lonely path of my life. That is, until I reread the story of Job who had it even worse. As the story unfolds, he loses his whole family, except for his sympathetic wife. Job also loses all his property and livestock. Then he suddenly breaks out in terrible

#01 I Came to Love You Late

Looking for somebody I found out nobody In this world where everybody Is searching for anybody I've been everywhere In a place of nowhere Only to find out you're just anywhere But somehow, I'm lost somewhere Until I saw you Shining beyond the blue I tried to reach you I focused myself but I can't do Until one day I realize To let this love come true What I fantasize Now, my dreams I will recognize Time has come to love you All my fears I will throw To prove to you that it's all true Try me, just give me a clue Now I'm starting to create A true happening.... Where we should meet Because I came to love you late ++ this was made for me before "he" courted me..hehehe

Been Thinking About.... A Heartache

There was a book entitled “Eleven Minutes” by Paulo Coelho and I found it very intriguing. I’m not promoting his book for, I haven’t read it to its last page. I only had an excerpt of it. Some of you may find this boring, but some may like it. I just want to share these insights with you. It can open your eyes, and be a believer just like me. Some may say: "Love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer..." All our life, we thought of love as some kind of voluntary enslavement. Well, that’s a lie: freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly. And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free. In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each of us responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. "It hurts when we lost various men or women we fell in love with." Now, though, I am convinced that no one loses anyone, bec

Behind this Blog

I am not a poet nor a writer. In fact, most of the articles you'll read in this blog were not mine. They were my boyfriend's sentiments. He likes to write poems on people and life itself. He started to expressed his thoughts through poetry after he met his first love. Ouch! Definitely SHE's not me. Unfortunately, this "girl" wasn't able to read any of them. I hope one day, she'll be able to visit this blog. Swim with me under the depths of the sea, take a plunge on life's poetry. My desire is to inspire everyone with my boyfreind's works and other articles written by some not-so-famous authors. I may be able to post some of my sentiments for the day and bore you with my repeatitive rants(just joking).

Who Am I?

I first heard this song last summer. My mini-me sister used to strum a guitar and sang it with her moderately good voice. Since then, this became my favorite song. It tells me about how God loves me despite of who am I. Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours, I am Yours Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love and watch me rise again Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea Would call out through the rain And calm the storm in me Not because of who I am But beca
