Concealed Sentiments

Two weeks ago, I happened to be with the "golden ladies". They were called golden ladies because they're already in their golden age: 50-something. I thought I'll feel awkward because of the age gap but in the end I was wrong. When women at my age had some chit-chats probably it would be about friends, food, fashion, work or even boys (men). On the other hand, these golden ladies were very concerned with their children, grandchildren, and their in-laws (especially). They had some outbursts on how they don't like their in-laws and on how pitiful their children for having the wrong choice of husband/wife. That's when I remembered a poem during my gradeschool. This poem was written by Jose La Villa Tierra. It speaks on the love of parents for their children, how forgiving and how great the love of a mother is for her son/daughter although he/she has hurt her very much. Ballad of a Mother's Heart The night was dark, For the moon was young, And the Stars were a...

Felt tired and burned out? Loneliness and emptiness filled your heart? Stressed out and your on your saturation point? Has the world turned its back on you? Wandering to an endless circles of life? Hopeless? Depressed? Being close to insanity? Well, all you need is just a dose of REFRESH. This image was from a snack pack's ad. It perfectly depicts a "times of refreshing" we need once in a while. In order to enjoy life, we need to be back in our "cocoons" so that we'll have time to reflect life's lessons and listen to God's voice. I heard from a sermon that sometimes we can't hear God because the world is too noisy. P.S. In case you're getting out of your "cocoon" be sure to wear something decent! :D

People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered. Love them ANYWAY. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good ANYWAY If you are successful, youll win false friends and make true enemies. Succeed ANYWAY. Honesty and kindness may make you vulnerable. Be honest and kind ANYWAY. The good you do today may very well be forgotten tomorrow. Do good ANYWAY. The biggest people with the biggest ideas can get shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. But think big ANYWAY. Give the world the best you got. you may very well get kicked in the teeth for it. But give the world the best you got ANYWAY. ...Kent Keith * A very nice thought posted by a friend in friendster's bulletin. I was enlightened by this post. In everything I do, I always think of what would people say and feel about me. Now, I have second thoughts about that. Who the hell cares? This is my life anyway!

In the cookies of life...FRIENDS...are the chocolate chips! Good friends share their chocolate chip cookies.... this post is for kit..thanks for sharing your chocolate chip!

When I was a little girl, my grandmother used to tell me that butterflies bring luck to those who see and care for them. I believe her in my naive mind. I learned to love butterflies. I was fascinated by their colors, their cocoons and most of all, their metamorphosis. I felt I was an ugly caterpillar transformed into a beautiful butterfly. As I grew up, butterflies brought me so much luck. Every time I see one inside our house or in my room, I'll have money after a few days. It may be a coincidence, but honestly I don''t really care for butterflies signify money for me (based on my experience). Yesterday, a big butterfly entered our room. It's bigger than my palm with a mixture of orange and brown colors and I guess it belonged to the "mariposa" family. I was so excited after having thoughts of money...hehehe.... I really enjoyed the world of wings and symmetry. By the way, the butterfly (as seen above) died after 6 hours. It can't fly due to damaged wing...

L AUGH, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth, But has trouble enough of it's own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the air. The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all. There are none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But one by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain. by: Ella Wheeler Wilcox Thoughts: People prefer cheerfulness in others. A person who is cheerful will have company, but someone who is gloomy will oft...

"A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business." Have you been a victim of this "man" or "woman"? If yes..then we're on the same boat.
