Welcome! Take a peek on my world...

This is my world. Different from other people but sure, its wonderful and full of life. Yeah, right! I am different from other people and I want to stay that way. Afterall, I am here to make a difference in this world and not to please people to like me. Just remember, people will notice WHAT I do but only God knows WHY I do things..all motives are known only by Him. :)

Update....

What can I say now? I guess its really worthwhile to take certain risks in life so you may able to experience what's in store for you. What I am doing now is quite very different from what I am doing before. I performing a very different duties, encountering very different people and experiencing different things. I'm outside of my comfort zone yet it feels so right. Maybe it is just what I wanted -- some challenge. Its very challenging to do such things. It teaches me some lessons I wont be able to learn if ever I stayed on my comfort zone. I teaches me to be humble, to serve and to care with other people. It also helps me to be appreciative of the things I have. If before I just take for granted the small things and liberty I have, now I really value those. I realized how lucky am I. I don't intend to boast of my previous achievements but I am so thankful i had and still have the kind of life I enjoy before and I promise to be a good steward of it when I get back. There's alot of things I want to accomplish and this experience I have now had open my eyes to alot of things. It energize me more to achieve my dreams. One step at a time. Slowly... I'll soon have what I wanted. But still if I didn't take this kind of risk I may not be able to realize that there's still more to life. There's so may things that I am missing doing rubbish things and worrying senseless things. I have a broader understanding now and my focus shifts from nonsense to important things. Also, I have realize that there's alot of things a person can achieve if he/she widen his/her horizon. Indeed, God has created me to achieve more greater things. Maybe thats the reason why I had a restless spirit before before I continue to ignore what fate has prepared for me. Now I can say that I do understand why I have to experienced certain things before. For it has a connection to everything. All those things has prepared me to this kind of task. And I know there's still alot of tasks for me to accomplish and all this experiences will have its purpose later in my life. Still, I am thankful for everything because God has more belief in me than I believe myself. I will now value everything, every experences and every person I encounter. May God Bless us all! Good day! :)

Just a thought..

Don't just come and go. Leave your footprints or better yet touch someone else's life. Give them a good reason to cherish your presence or your mere existence. People with a good heart will always be remembered after they have gone. So don't just come and go. Make an impact. You never know whose lives you inspire, give hope or shown some care. Sometimes those little good acts has a lasting effect to someone else's life. Choose not to just come and go! You're more than just that! :) - belle 08/03/07 10:40pm

i think i like this song...

Beautiful in My Eyes

- Kadison Joshua

You're my peace of mind, in this crazy world.
Your're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer, is that you realize,
you'll always be beautiful, in my eyes.
.
The world will turn,
and the seasons will change.
And all the lessons we will learn,
will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer, is that you realize.
You'll always be beautiful, in my eyes.
You will always be, beautiful in my eyes.
.
And the passing years will show,
that you will always grow, evermore beautiful, in my eyes.
And there are lines upon my face,
from a lifetime of smiles.
But when the time comes to embrace, for one long last while.
.
We can laugh about it, how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye, 'cause true-love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful, in my eyes.
You will always be, beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show,
that you will always grow,evermore beautiful, in my eyes.
The passing years will show,
that you will always grow,evermore beautiful, in my eyes.

going once..going twice..hehe..

To be honest I don't know what I must feel right now. There's alot of things running on my mind. This is the first time I will take this kind of big risk in life. Although I am such a courageous, optimist young woman, I still cannot help but to feel a some kind of tension. I don't know what kind of life that's waiting for me out there. Am I really willing to give up the kind of lifestyle I am acustom with in exchange of the better future? Am I really willing to make a big change in my life? Am I ready? Do I really need to do this? Who will benefit from it, Am I? Does everything makes sense?These thoughts had their ways of bothering me yet I know I will stick to my plan. This is what I am given therefore it is good for me. There's a reason why everything took place, right? It is not merely an accident or a matter of mistake. Every little thing thats happening has something to do with the refinement of my being. Yes, I am somewhat unsure of what awaits me but I know one thing, that I can survive everything for I have in me a faith thats always uplift me after every storm had passed by into my life.

Nuggets of wisdom

“It is safe to take a risk, to believe in yourself and most important to ask for what I want!”

“A true leader allows others to lead, empowers others for success and leads from the heart.”

“Live in such a way that when you die or when your last moments come, you will have no regrets that you loved too little.”

“Some people live and they just live. Some people die and they just die. Some people live and make others live. Some people die and still make others live. Here’s wishing all of us will live meaningful and grateful lives so that this world would be a little bit better and brighter because we passed by.” –Fr. Jerry M. Orbos, SVD (April 06, 2002 Sunday)

the importance of one person...



As long as at least one person cares for you, life isn't a waste...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

To the world you're might be just one person. But to one person YOU ARE THE WORLD!

i agree with this..

The only people that you need in your life are the ones who prove that they need you in theirs..


...so forget those people who don't value you. always remember that you deserve someone better. someone who appreciate you for what you are and wont leave you for anything. let go of those people whose not worthy of your time, effort and emotions. love instead those whose always around and value you the most! :)

think about this...

If you really want to have a lasting success, involvement is not enough ....
you must commit yourself and sacrifice your conveniences
to attain your worthy goals in life...

think about this...

Life is too short to regret things! Live life to the fullest.. take risk, let go and be happy!! Never be afraid for God is always with you..every step of the way! :)

Lift up your hands

LIFT UP YOUR HANDS
Basil Valdez

Life is not all that bad, my friend, hmmm
If you believe in yourself
If you believe there's Someone
Who walks through life with you
You'll never be alone
Just learn to reach out,
And open your heart
Lift up hands to God,
And He'll show you the way.
And He said, "Cast your burdens upon Me
Those who are heavily laden,
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads,
For the yoke I will give you is easy
And My burden is light,
Come to Me and I will give you rest."

When you feel the world
Is tumblin' down on you,
And you have no one
That you can hold on to,
Just face the rising sun
And you'll see hope,
And there's no need to run
Lift up your hands to God,
And He'll make you feel all right.
And He said, "Cast your burdens upon Me
Those who are heavily laden,
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads,
For the yoke I will give you is easy
And My burden is light,
Come to Me and I will give you rest."

think about this...

God is far more important than all the riches the world can offer.

think about this...

"The more you give, the more blessings that will come your way.." -belle

ponder on this..

Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

Remember, what goes around comes around, so if what's come your way is delightful, it's simply because it's your turn.

If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that...

Experimentation is the key to finding happiness -- try out some new ideas

ponder on this..

Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Forget the things that make you sad .... Remember the things that make you GLAD!

talking about equality...

A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

rather dont ask why, ok? :)

"There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me, there are some love that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky to end up with that somebody who has a little of that insanity. Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever." -author unknown

I agree with Mark Twain when he says

"Keep away from the people who belittle your ambitions. Small people do that, but the real great, makes you feel that you,too, can become great!"

if..

If someone will come to replace my lost love and be strong enough to love me, I'll take the risk because I don't want to waste my time again waiting for someone to come back. Life is too short not to let myself fall in love again but this time I'll be wiser than before and I will love the person whose worthy of my exquisite love. :) -belle 06/16/07

-a good sleep is worthwhile and healthy to your body than to think about other person who dont even think of you even for a sec. so give yourself a good sleep!!!

message

i am a maker of my own life. i dont depend to anyone or anything. i dont care what other people may say about me and what i am doing. they may call me underachiever or whatever they think i am, still i dont care. for me it is just another title or name that cannot add value to my life. who the hell knows what i'm going through or how happy i am right now where i am or how sad life can be. they can assume but they still dont know anything about me. so i have a good advice to those people, "shut up your mouth and start living!" lol!
i am living my life right now. trying to keep away from those so-called perfect people with perfect image of themselves. i'm not against them or whatever. i respect them if they knows how to respect me and my privacy. we all have our own point of views in life, wants and dislikes. we cannot force other people to like what we like or pursue what we are pursuing. we all are different from one another. there's no 2 people in this world that can be the same. so stop dictating, stop pushing. let other people live their lives. and let yourself live your life. therefore, let me live my life as i want it. afterall, it is my life. if ever i've done some mistakes no one responsible for it but me. so stop telling me you're just worried about me coz i am a big girl now and i can take care of myself. i can make it! i just want to experience life, ok? i'll be ok. i am equipped and knows what i am doing, promise! anyways, i thank you for your concern. peace man! :)
..try to change me if you can. i'm willing though if you're worthy enough.
but i'll warn you it wont be easy. anyways, there's nothing worthwhile in this world that is easy to get. so just try and goodluck!
"in my life there can be only one YOU..."

Am I?

I have lots of dreams in life. Some says I am ambitious. I don't care! For me, people who dont know how to dream are liken to those who are dead. Dreams awaken my soul, it helps me look forward for something better, something more exciting and wonderful. Dreams provide pavement to my goals in life. It makes me believe that I am capable of being someone, creating something, achieving wonderful peaks in life and making a difference in the lives of other people. Yeah, somehow it contradicts what I say that I want in my life. I always say that I just want to be simple.So how come I want to be simple yet I am ambitious? Let me explain. Simplicity doesn't mean that you don't know how to dream. It doesn't mean that you won't improve your life and you won't do anything. It doesn't mean that you will just sit there and wait yourself to wither and stagnate. When I say simple, I mean that I will give up the urge to stay in the competition in the corporate world. I mean that I will no longer seek for the temporary consolation. I mean that I won't give in to what the society dictates. I mean that I will turn my back to materialism, egoism and selfishness but instead do something for a cause, for humanity, for the environment. When I say simplicity I mean that I am giving up all the material things, pleasures, luxuries, shallow measurements of happiness in terms of money, possessions, positions, alliances, relationships, knowledges and finally achievements. For me, simplicity in life means achieving a more important things that matters in life. People say I am ambitious whenever I say I want to live in the mountain and help build a better community there, to serve while learning something more valuable, to educate people of whats more important in life than to pursue things that don't really matter. They call me ambitious or impossible when I say I want to revive our rivers and preserve our natural resources. They call me ambitious when I say that I want to help the poor people in the provinces uplift their lives, to teach them a lesson or two on how to make the most out of their day than to just wait for someone to give them their foods or jobs. They say I am ambitious when I say I can see a better future of my country, that we can finally enjoy the fruits of our labors and every family lives decently. They call me ambitious when I say I want to travel the world and experience life, a true meaning of life. Maybe yes, I have lots of dreams in life. Therefore, I am ambitious. But these dreams and ambitions I have are not merely for myself. I dont intend to aim it with a selfish intentions. My dreams and ambitions are not only for me. Because when I say I want to improve my life it means I also wants to improve the lives of other people. People that I don't know personally but continuously hunts me. I know deep within that I am created for something bigger, something that can bring change, a better change. I feel I have a bigger mission here on earth. It is my calling. It is what my heart and soul wants me to do. I know if I didn't listen to my heart it will always hunts me. If I refuse to go after what my soul wants, it will only bring me pain. Thats why I decided to pursue whatever dreams I have and suffer the consequences than not to go after it and regret it for the rest of my life. Whatever things I am doing right now, believe that it has something to do with whatever dreams and ambitions I have, it has some beneficial effect with all this things. I don't need to explain anything to every person I've got to meet or all the people I knew in my life because whatever it is that I am doing it is only between me and my God and my dreams link to my mission He entailed to me.
So what if I am ambitious? So what if I have alot of dreams in life? I don't care as long as I can achieve what they called "a true happiness and contentment in life" and do things that will outlasts and that will matter most in this life! Happy living! :) -belle 06/08/07 11:30 pm

i have this kind of feelings for you that sometimes it hurts me knowing that i can neither have you nor be with you even for awhile..

Wednesday, June 6, 2007

just as i thought

i've been looking for you for so long. i never thought that i could ever see you in this lifetime.
i gave up all hope in ever finding someone like you. so i just told myself that if ever time has come that i finally find you i wont ever let you go.. never!
then you came..you had found me. suddenly i feel that finally...just finally after the long search, it is officially over! it is finally over. someone already came. it is you...
you are... that "someone", that "real one", that "true thing", that "kind of thing", that "love", that "perfect one for me", that "too good to be true thing", that "who can completes me", that "everything and whatsoever"....you are and no one else in this world.
i told myself i will take the risk. it is now or never. whatever it takes...i am willing to fight for it!
i guess its time for me to grow up and be mature enough to stand for the love i'm searching for..
that was i thought.
because you are everything that i dreamed of, everything i wanted, everything i long to have exists in my real world but to you i am just one of them. i am just one of the many other person you've met. i am just another girl.
i am starting to build my new world with you, as beautiful as it can be and with lots of hope that this time this thing will last a lifetime..but then its suddenly go wrong...
i suddenly ask myself, could you be falling for me? could i be the one you're looking for?
could it be? could i be the one?
you are that "someone, that "real one", that "true thing", that "kind of thing", that "love", that "perfect one for me", that "too good to be true thing", that "who completes me" that "everything and whatsoever" to me, you are for me or JUST I ONLY THOUGHT! a false alarm that feels so true. i was sadden by the fact. i need to go back to once i was before.
i'll be waiting again, hoping again, praying again for that someone. dont know when to stop neither where to begin again unless you will personally tell me that you feels the same way too.. just as i thought! - belle 06/07/07 12:36 am

insecurity versus security

if you are secure of yourself there's nothing to worry. people whose insecure of themselves are the one who criticize often. they cannot accept the fact that there's people out there who can be independent and successful. they cannot accept that somebody out there can overshadow them. and they cannot accept that someone can have the very thing that they're longing to have. its all self-denial. they just pretend to be super powerful, strong and whatsoever but if you look deeply to them they are empty, insecure and pathetic. they're just trying to disguise themselves. but if you are sure of yourself, and you really know who you are..you dont need to shout it to the world. people will automatically see that in you. even if you appear humble, low-profile and tend to be no one it will comes naturally. just like the saying, "you dont need to shout that you are a woman. if you do then you're not!" i believe that there's something in those people whose secure of themselves. they just act naturally, converse effortless and prove things unconciously. so for those people whose insecure...please, just mind your own business! you have to do some more, prove some more for you to gain my praise or anything. honestly, it wouldnt hurt me if you say those stupid things. i am secure of myself. i wont step down to your level nor give in to your demands. i know what i am and who i am. i dont base my totality as a person to everything that you people say. you can try to bring me down but you will never succeed. you cannot take away my faith in myself and the way i love myself. thats what i have that you dont have! thats the edge that i have...do you think you can have it too? then prove it! -belle 6/4/07 11:04pm

"Never explain yourself to anyone because...
the person who likes you doesn't need it...
and the person who dislikes you won't believe it."
"there are things in life we question a lot. But do we realize that answers come when we stop asking...that's what we call "Faith". God is good all the time!"
"the worst regret we can have in life is not for the wrong things we did,
but for the right things we could have done but we never did..."

why its so hard to decide?

why it is so hard to decide? to choose between two things? why its so hard to justify things?
to convince yourself of the advantages lies behind each option? to search for the possible consequences of this decision?
why its so hard???
taking a risk....yeah, right! sometimes we really need to take a risk for us to know what kind of life waiting for us should we pursue things. we should always go forward not backwards... always forward! move forward though it entails alot of risks, unfamiliar things to deal with and more challenges to meet. but to remain where you are is not as simply avoiding a risk. it still a risk of being left behind, being unproductive and being mediocre. why? because we are afraid of change. afraid of new things, to get hurt, to be treated differently and to fail!
but all of us need to grow up! we all need to pursue our dreams. pursuing one's dreams is one's sole responsiblity. we should not rely to other people's promises or help. it is our own responsibility. so anything that is not happening to our life is our fault. its harsh but it is true. it is all our fault. and its all because we choose things. we all faces tough decisions, and we all have an opportunity to choose, don't we? we always have a choice. but of course, we should weigh things first. but still its so hard to decide. to decide or not to decide, still you've chose.
so to stay or not to stay...is still a decision. if you stay, you remain the same. if you move, things will be different. it wont be easy but it will be worthwhile. so just decide... to risk or not to risk?
its so hard to decide. so hard to come up with the right answers. but i guess it will only boil down to one thing or one question..... do you really have a burning desire to reach your dreams? if so, i guess you've already know the answer..you've already come up with your decision..the decision you have to make. so what are you waiting for... now is the right time to act! so decide and you'll find out what things will be... - belle 05/07/07 2:26am

says who??...

Don't believe the naysayers! They're just there to discourage you..
Don't let other people steal your dreams...
Go out and conquer the world!
Go out and achieve all your dreams!
There's nothing you cannot do..
Only if you believe in yourself and to the One Up there, who knows
every good thing thats right for you!
Keep the faith and everything will be great!!
Just expect the best so you can have the best!

Multi-sensory

Five-sensory
“Adopts the point of view of the traditional concept of evolution—survival of the fittest. Thus, the value placed on power to control the environment (people, situations, etc.). Needs physical dominance in order to win in any competition. Therefore, the urge to have more, gain more.Influenced only by what one sees, tastes, smells, feels, hears.Perceives power as external such as all institutions—social, economic, political; Money as a powerful tool of offense and defense.”
Multi-sensory
“Adopts a point of view that there is something more which transcends the physical. Values wisdom over victory, teamwork over dominance. Knows that balance is the key in the pursuit of harmony. Ruled by inner strength, wisdom, love and fairness.”
The main difference between a five- and a multi-sensory person is their belief in life. The five-sensory believes there is only one lifetime so eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die! But the multi-sensory person says “Amen to that but you have a soul.”

Published at my Friendster Blog Account:This who and what I am. Take it or leave it!(2)

Untitled (Nov20)
it's been awhile since i last visit my page. been busy for a quite awhile. i guess it'll stay this way unless i do something to change it. only if i have the power to change things, for sure i'll change it for the better and make the phrase "make the world a better place to live in" possible and real. anyways, hmmm.. let me say, life has many suprises. quite confusing yet interesting. it's a kind of a game wherein, i may say, quite got familiar with. it has alot of rules, but first you've got to set your priorities straigh tand make a plan so you may not get lost in the process. and also, you've got to be very open-minded, strong physically but its more important the to be strong inside, let me say faith (in God and yourself). itsa matter of how you handle things that coming into your life. elder says ' God won't give you trials you cant handle". Indeed. Just that. Put your trust to the One whose bigger, wiser and sufficient than you. Then, if you got blessings from Him, dont and never hesitate to share it with others. The greatest way of living is by sharing. I dont know but there's a somekind of happiness or fulfillment whenever i share something or help someone more needy than me. i'm not talking about sharing my finances, coz i just have enough. its not all that. sometimes you can simply share your time, resources and wisdom ( if i do have one, i will). anyways, am i geting anywhere? hehehe.. actually, i'm sleepy but i cant sleep. i'm kinda feeling sick but i'm not. maybe it has something to do with the weather. oh, by the way, christmas is fast approching. what a fast year?! dont yah forget my gift and greetings! hmmm.. life! i should enjoy it while i'm still young. at present, i dont have any power to control things over or change them but for sure i wont let any one to get in the way of my dreams. i will live my life in the way i want. i'm not a conformist so better back off if you have the intention to ask me why i view things differently and why am i different. i am different and i love being this way. someday, somehow things will change and i'll be a totally different person as i am now but somethings remain the same. and all those principles i hold dear, those beliefs would stay the same. sometimes, changes just happened in the outside, all facade. but my insides.... it will always be the same. i wont let myself be influenced by anything and anyone. i will always be the same person i am. i might change a little in the outside but never in the inside. might be change for the better. well its just my own opinion. i dont ask for any approval. its just my own. journey of a person was made alone. you came in this world alone and you will leave this world alone. so why need anybody's approval. just follow the Lord's law and everythings will be great. :)

There's always one great love..
"....there's always one great love in your life that you cannot get over with, someone you cannot forget but it doesnt mean that you are meant to be....move on. life is so short. somewhere, somehow, someone gonna love you the same way you have love him/her. lose grip. move on. if its meant to be, he/she'll be back... move forward. time is running, things changes. dont get stuck up. there's alot of things in life you have to enjoy...be happy, enjoy life. dont waste your life in worrying. time will reveal everything. there's an appropriate time for everything but for now live at the moment. life is right here, right now. dont waste single moment of it. get real! be real! face the reality and dont pretend..

Just Sharing
"We dont exist only for ourselves, our purpose is not simply to look good or to make money or to have a certain position - It has to be something more. If you dont live according to your purpose, your life is going to be miserable.""There's more to life than to earn alot of money. You still have your family, friends, faith and most especially yourself to take care of. You have to spend some quality time to them while you'r still living because life without them doesnt really sounds like life. What's the use of your money if you're going to lose all your love ones, your faith, your health and your sense of identity in the process? Think about it."

Farewell to the year that was
some may say 2005 was the best year for them, others would bursts it was the worst. whatever it was its time for us to say goodbye and welcome year 2006 with gladness in our hearts that coupled with the hope that this new year things will be better, we'll be happier and healthier. wishes, hopes prayers are in the hearts and minds of every mankind. only if i have the power to make all things beautiful and great, i wont think twice to make it. but those things are better left in God's hands. So, as for me, 2005 was just another year that come along and leave without a better trace. but i guess .. with all these life's uncertainties, frustrations, twists and turns, all i wanna have right now is a simple but happy life wherein i may able to enjoy all aspects of it and live out one's mission in life... just wanna have a simplier life. maybe i just got tired of all the chasing, the deadlines, the comparisons, the ratrace, the late nights, the tired body and mind, the proud eyebugs, the passing of time, the plans that never got executed, the sleep that never gone completed, the routines that i got used to but makes no sense in life, and those stuffs that looked like so important but later on would turned up just a trash! maybe i'm just tired of these things thats why i'm saying all this stuffs or maybe i really want to have the big change in my life. whatever the reason i may find, all i can say is "i just want a life! a life that i can enjoy the simple but wonderful things in life. what will be the use of my money if i'm going to lose my family, friends, self, God, youthfulness and happiness in life in the process? i just want to balance things out. i want a simple life. i need no complications. just want to be free from all those trash. may God help me to obtain my desire for a better, simplier and happy life." You may call me a quiter or any name you want to but you cannot change what I believe in. Maybe later in life you may able to realize what I'm trying to say. It's just that I realize it earlier in life, earlier coz I begun my soul searching earlier. What is important is invisible to the eye, quite familiar? Anyways, we all have our own beliefs and opinions. Its all up to you what you consider important in life. So, you want to continue the ratrace? go on...just count me out! I'll make 2006 a year for much better life, a life thats worth living and never again waste each moment of it. I wish!!!! Happy New Year, fellas!!!!

Why should I believe it?

Why should I believe it? I am sorry I have my faith and I don't believe in any crap other people may say about me. It's quite disappointing but who knows my destiny? Okay, I believe that man is the maker of his own destiny. Or should I say that man may make plans but God direct his actions.
It is only God knows what my life was and will be. He made me for a purpose and if ever He'll take me too soon, it is because I've already done my purpose and fulfilled my calling not because I've done some mistakes in life. I've already surrender my life to Him. I know whatever and wherever I am right now, it is according to His plan to me. So who cares if I am too young? He knows what's good for me. He knows everything!
I am sorry I cannot depend my life in any crap! Sure, it consumed few days of my life because I thought about it. It confused me. But then again, what the heck! what is it for?! Excuse me, for whatever it is, it can never change me and what I am here to fulfill. There's more to life than believing those crap.. I am not against you or any one who beleive in it. Some people believe in that but never will I. I know it exist for so long as man's creation but the power of the One I believe in is far more greater than that! I only depended on HIm. Only Him can say until when I am going to stay here on earth. Only Him can make me happy. Only Him can fulfill the emptiness in my heart. And if ever I and my love has parted, it is also His will. And I know that everything has a reason. But for now, I am waiting for the hands of God to move into my life. I ceased to ask Him any more question because I know He knows what He's doing. I hated myself for being affected of those crap! But take note, being affected is not the same as believing. I am discerning things, weighting things. And today, I realize that there's no point in entertaining those ideas. If you have faith, nothing and no one can break you. Again, I only believe in God. No one else! If you believe in anything else other than God, I assure you that mine is more powerful than yours. Why? because, the whole world, the universe, the humanity, animal kingdom and everything you see, feel and taste are belong to Him. And despite His vastness He choses to stay in man's heart. If His words changes man, what more does His love can do? No one can do it except Him. Does the one you believe in can do the same? I guess not because only my God can do it. Not unless we have the same God and the same intensity of belief. So tell me, why should I believe that crap? huh?..

Forgive me for all the pains, hurts and regrets that I caused you.
I’m not expecting you to love me the same way again.
I’m not asking you to come back to me.
I cannot change what has been said and done.
But maybe it’s time for us to let go of the past and admit what really has been.
For everything I’ve done before, I’ve regret it.
I apologize for keeping to myself what I feel for you.
For not admitting what I really feel about you.
I know that I denied myself a chance to be with you.
I know that I’ve cheated you and most of all I’ve cheated myself.
I’m really really sorry.
For all that, there’s something I cannot change and hide
I may have out-witted you and other people but never will I out-wit the destiny.
I cannot deny the fact that you’re the only person I want.
That I’m still looking for you everywhere I go.
I cannot deny the fact of what and who you are in my life
Whatever happens, I know that in my life I did love you.... more.
More than anybody else, more than my dreams, more than my pride.
It’s hard to believe but I do.
No one and nothing can change that.
We may or may not see each other again but I know that you always have my heart.
I know you’re the biggest part of my life that I didn’t have.

My past.
My frustration.
My Dream.
But then again, I’m sorry for everything.
I’m sorry…. this is all I have to say.
I know I cannot mend whatever scar I have left you.
But if you’ll just accept my apologies,
You’re not only doing me a favor, you’re also helping me to forgive myself.
Again, I’m really really sorry.

Go the Distance

Go the Distance (from Hercules-Disney-Michael Bolton)

I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

I will search the world
I will face its harms
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

"The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne

“We all with One Infinite Power”

“Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting.”

“We are like magnets – like attracts like. You become and attract what you think.”

“Every thought has a frequency. Thoughts send out a magnetic energy.”

“People think about what they don’t want and attract more of the same.”

“Thought equals creation. If these thoughts are attracted to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation.”

“You attract your dominant thoughts.”

“Those who speak most of illness have it, those who speak most of prosperity have it.”

“You cannot have a universe without the mind entering into it.”

“Your thoughts cause your feelings.”

“Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming.”
“You get exactly what you are feeling!”

“Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances.”

“You can begin feeling whatever you want… the Universe will correspond to the nature of your song.”

“What you focus on with thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience.”

“You create your own universe as you go along.” –Winston Churchill

“It’s important to feel good!”

“Life can and should be phenomenal and it will be when you consciously apply the Law of Attraction!”

“The Universe likes speed. Don’t delay, don’t second guess, don’t doubt…”

“When the opportunity or impulse is there, ACT!”

“The Universe will rearrange itself accordingly.”

“Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately.”

“Play the picture in your mind – focus on the end result!”

“Visualize! Rehearse your future!”

“An affirmative thought is 100 times more powerful than a negative one.”

“Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind!”

“You are the only one that creates your reality!”

“No one else can think or feel for you, it’s you, only YOU!”

“Are your thoughts worthy of you? If not, NOW is the time to change them.”

Vanity and Pride

“Vanity and pride are different things,
though the words are often used synonymously.
A person may be proud without being vain.
Pride related more to ourselves,
vanity to what we would have others think of us.”
–Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen –Chapter 5)

Reasons why "The Alchemist" is one of my favorite book

Reasons why “The Alchemist” is one of my favorite book:
Read on:….happy reading!

“When you really want something, the universe always conspires in your favor.”

“The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”

“Whoever you are or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. Its your mission on earth.”

“People are capable at any time in their lives of doing what they dream of.”

“Everything in life has its price."
“If you start out by promising what you don’t even have yet. You’ll lose your desire to work toward getting it.”

“Life could have changes so suddenly and so drastically.”

“There were certain things one shouldn’t ask about, so as not to flee from one’s own Personal Legend.”

“Why ask more out of life? Because we have to respond to omens. Its called the principle of favorability, beginners luck. Because life wants you to achieve your Personal Legend.”

“You must always know what it is that you want.”

“That there was a language in the world that everyone understood. It was the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.”

“Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When Someone makes decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”

“Word of Allah: People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want”

“All things are the manifestation of one thing only”

“Soul of the World – Principle that governs all things. When you want something with all your heart, that’s when you are closest to the Soul of the World. Its always a positive force.”

“Everyone has his or her own way of learning things. His ways isn’t the same as mine, nor mine as his. But we’re both in search of our Personal Legend and I respect him for that.”

“Don’t be impatient. Eat when its time to eat and move along when its time to move along.”

“If you pay attention to the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves His children. Each day, in itself, bring with it an eternity.”

“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You’ve got to find the treasure so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.”

“You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuits, its because it want love…the love that speaks the Language of the World.”

“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”

“There is only one way to learn. Its through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.”

“The fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself.”

“Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learened along the way. It does things not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’re moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. Its the point at which, as they say in the language of the dessert, one dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on horizon.”

“Every search begins with beginners luck. And every search with the victor’s being severely tested.”

“Don’t give in to your fears.”

“If a person is living out his Personal Legend, he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”

“Because when we love, we strive to be better than we are.”

“Everything that happen once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”

“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.”

“Its true, life is generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend.”




Optimist Creed

PROMISE YOURSELF:

“To be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity with every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something good in them.
To look at the sunnyside of everything and make your optimism come true
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every person you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.”

Hanging by a Moment / Every Little Thing / Reflection

Hanging By A Moment
by: Lifehouse

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where i Started
Chasing after you

i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held onto
i'm standing here until you make me move
i'm hanging by a moment here with you

forgetting all i'm lacking
completely incomplete
i'll take your invitation
you take all of me

now.. i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held onto
i'm standing here until you make me move
i'm hanging by a moment here with you

i'm living for the only thing i know
i'm running and not quite sure where to go
i don't know what i'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

there's nothing else to lose
nothing left to find
there's nothing in the world
that could change my mind
there is nothing else
there is nothing else...

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
Closer where i Started
Chasing after you

i'm falling even more in love with you
letting go of all i've held onto
i'm standing here until you make me move
i'm hanging by a moment here with you

i'm living for the only thing i know
i'm running and not quite sure where to go
i don't know what i'm diving into
just hanging by a moment here with you

just hanging by a moment
hanging by a moment..
hanging by a moment...
hanging by a moment here with you..

Every Little Thing
by: Dishwalla

Let me in
to see you in the morning light
to get me on and all along the tears they come
see all come


I want you to believe in life
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
will you find out who you are

too late to change?

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time some times

Lift me up
just lift me up
don't make a sound
and let me hold you up before you hit the ground

see all come
you say your all right
but I get the strangest feeling
that you've gone away- you've gone away
and will you find out who you are
too late to change?

I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted
all the time

Don't give me up
don't give me up tonight
or soon nothing will be right at all
salvation will you find out who you are
too late to change?
I wish I could be every little thing you wanted

================================


Reflection

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

DON'T QUIT!

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you trudging seem all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And when you want to smile but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must but dont you quit.
Life is a queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learn.
And many a failures turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Dont give up though the pace seems slow,
You might succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and a faltering man.
Often the struggle is given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup
And he learned too laste when the night slipped down
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turns inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubts.
You never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight with your hardest hit.
When things seems worst, YOU MUSTN'T QUIT!!!

Quotes to share

QUOTES TO SHARE (and maybe to live for)


If you want to achieve your dreams, don’t just daydream or talk them. You’ve got to get out there and fail. Fail early, fail often but always fail forward. Turn your mistakes into stepping stones for success.

You risk because you want something of value you want to achieve. If at first you do succeed, try something harder. While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.

Not realizing what you want is a problem of knowledge. Not pursuing what you want is a problem of motivation, not achieving what you want is a problem of persistence.

The only person who can help you is yourself. Treat yourself well, do things that makes you happy.

If you find yourself in the difficult spot, remember you are there by God’s appointment, in His keeping, under His training and for His time.

When you are in a difficult place realized that the Lord placed you there or allowed you to be there for reasons perhaps known for now only to Himself. The same God led you in will lead you out.

Impossible is just a big word thrown by the small men who find it easier to live in the world they are given than have the power to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Impossible is an option. Impossible is an opinion. Impossible is a statement. Impossible is a declaration. Impossible is temporary.

No matter how many times you fail, it doesn’t have to make you a failure.

I’m not a failure. I just failed at doing something. There’s a big difference!


Whatever you know you should do, do it!

Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly bigger man to acknowledge instantly and without hesitation that he is in error.

If you know who you are, make the changes you must in order to learn and grow, and then give everything you got to your dreams. You can achieve anything your heart desires. Be concern with what you can give rather than what you can get because giving truly is the highest level of living.

The only way you can get ahead is to fail early, fail often and fail forward. To achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you’re not failing you’re probably not really moving forward!

Remember your successes not your failures.

Sometimes there’s no next time, no time outs, no second chances. Sometimes it’s now or never.

The only thing you live to regret are the risks you didn’t take. Failure is simply a price to pay to achieve success.

The suffering that comes from our error is created to deflect us back to the correct path.

Figure out what you love to do. What God give you a heart to do and do it for His glory.

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

People who don’t give up keep trying because they don’t base their self-worth on their performance.
=========

DESIDERATA

Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be in good terms with all persons, speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others even the dull and ignorant. They too have their stories to tell.

Avoid loud and aggressive person; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself to others you may become vain and bitter for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is. Many persons strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself, especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of years, gracefully surrendering the things of the youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in a sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have the right to be here and whether or not it is clear to you; no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life. Keep peace with your soul, with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams. IT IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL WORLD. BE CHEERFUL. STRIVE TO BE HAPPY!!!!

IF I AM
by NiNeDays

So you're standin on the ledge
It looks like you might fall
Its so far down or maybe
You were thinkin about jumpin
Now you could have it allIf you learned a little patience
For though I cannot flyI'm not content to crawl
So give me a little creditHave in me a little faith
I wanna be with you forever
If tomorrow's not too late
But its always too lateWhen you got nothin so you say
You should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises todayIf I am
Another waste of everything you dreamed ofI will let you down
If I amOnly here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you downSo you're walkin on the edge
And you wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
That you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
And you could find the faultIn the heart that you've been handed
For though you cannot fly
You're not content to crawl
nd its always too late when you got nothin so you say
But we should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises
The answers we find are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along
You don't talk of dreams when i won't mention tomorrow
And we won't make those promises we can't keep
I will never leave youI will not let you downI will never leave you
I will not let you down
i'm gonna be here and always gonna be your friend...
take care always and i miss yah...
===================================================================


ON MY OWN

Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybodyelse is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy withthe company
I'm keepingThe city goes to bedAnd
I can live inside my head

On my own,Pretending he's beside me,
All alone, I walk with him till morning.
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes,
And he has found me...In the rain,
The pavement shines like silver,
All the lights are misty in the river,
In the darkness the trees are full of starlight,
And all I see is him and me,
Forever and forever...And I know it's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself and not to him,
And although I know that he is blind,
Still I say, there's a way for us...I love him,
But when the night is over,He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes,
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.
I love him,But everyday I'm learning,
All my life,I've only been pretending,
Without me,His world will go on turning,
A world that's full of happiness,
That I have never known...I love him... I love him...I love him...
But only on my own

===================================================================

Yesterday
by Beatles
Lead vocal: Paul


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

Reflection
by Lea Salonga

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride or a perfect daughter.
Can it beI'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see that if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart.
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide who I am though I've tried.
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside? ----Mulan

The Way You Look Tonight

Some day when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you Just the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.
Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling Just the way you look tonight

The Proteus in me..

PROTEUS
In Greek mythology, Proteus is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea"[1], whose name suggests the "first", as protogonos is the "primordial" or the "firstborn". He became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony (Odyssey iv. 432), or of Nereus and Doris, or of Oceanus and a Naiad, and was made the herdsman of Poseidon's seals, the great bull seal at the center of the harem. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar from several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms": "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.
