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.

#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
