sinira ang tulog

kinain ang gabi

naubos ang oras

ba't di mapakali

ayokong mahulog

ayoko ng dumaing

eto na naman

may maling pain

sadya bang malupet

sadya bang sumpa

ba't ganto katindi

ang trato saken ng tadhana

pwde bang humiling

pwde ko bang sambitin..


"sana'y ibigay nyo na

ang nararapat sa'kin.."



--------------------
kung ano man to. sana'y tantanan nko.waaahhh..(not again che!)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99,

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how).

Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of Calcium. Be kind to your knees -- you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it; it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions (even if you don't follow them).

Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but what a precious few should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps and geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old; and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse, but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you are 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me, I'm the sunscreen.

got another nice email..

It's been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them
has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years
to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It's a rule.

Globalize processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense
of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to posses a need
to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of
the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x
quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this
always yields better results.

Said in another words:

1. Sweden is about the size of San Pablo , a state in Brazil .

2. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants.

3. Stockholm , has 500,000 people.

4. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, Nokia are some of its renowned
companies. Volvo supplies the NASA.

The first time I was in Sweden , one of my colleagues picked me up at the
hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive
early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000
employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn't say anything,
either the second or third. One morning I asked, "Do you have a fixed
parking space? I've noticed we park far from the entrance even when there
are no other cars in the lot." To which he replied, "Since we're here early
we'll have time to walk, and whoever gets in late will be late and need a
place closer to the door. Don't you think? Imagine my face.

Nowadays, there's a movement in Europe name Slow Food. This movement
establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to
taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing.

Slow Food is against its counterpart: the spirit of Fast Food and what it
stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement
called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.

Basically, the movement questions the sense of "hurry" and "craziness"
generated by globalization, fueled by the desire of "having in quantity"
(life status) versus "having with quality", "life quality" or the "quality
of being". French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more
productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour
workweeks and have seen their productivity been driven up by 20%.

This slow attitude has brought forth the US 's attention, pupils of the fast
and the "do it now!".

This no-rush attitude doesn't represent doing less or having a lower
productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality,
productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress. It means
reestablishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the
"now", present and concrete, versus the "global", undefined and anonymous.
It means taking humans' essential values, the simplicity of living.

It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more
productive where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.

It's time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality
with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and
services, without losing the essence of spirit.

In the movie, Scent of a Woman, there's a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl
to dance and she replies, "I can't, my boyfriend will be here any minute
now". To which Al responds, "A life is lived in an instant". Then they dance
to a tango.

Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we
die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time.

Others are so anxious of living the future that they forget to live the
present, which is the only time that truly exists. We all have equal time
throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how
each one of us does with our time. We need to live each moment. As John
Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other
plans".

Congratulations for reading till the end of this message. There are many who
will have stopped in the middle so as not to waste time in this globalized world.

I haven't noticed. It's feb. I'm not really a fan of heart's month or valentine's day. hmm.. not because im bitter (am i still?!), it's just that you can make any day a special one for the love of your life. I just watched a talk show last night about looove and relationships.. and it got me thinking..


what is true love for me? really?

i admit i've been to the idealistic approach about relationships. But after a few relationships, I finally realized it isn't just a walk in the park or any other fairy tale we've all been dreaming ever since.

commitment..is not just a word. It's a sentence, or an essay.
the one..is someone you found and you make her your "the one".
feelings..are not really to be based upon.
sacrifice..is essential

** True love is a commitment, a choice, a decision. That when you found that imperfect person, you would still love her until the very end even when the time comes when you don't see any other reason to love her back. As they say, feelings are nice. But when you felt it already faded you don't have to look for it in another. It's just a course of working things out and bringing back the spice of your relationship.


what if the love isn't reciprocated already? ok that's another topic. But you see, the one who's giving..trying to work it out, being a martyr and stuff.. that's true love.

so.. Find someone, who sees love like you see it. who'll also make you his/her "the one"..



for the singles out there..(for me!)

"Let us always remember that love doesn't have to stop when relationships end. Love only stops when we refuse to believe that when we are betrayed, there will always be someone else who will choose to be faithful to us even in the midst of temptation. Someone who will never let time nor distance take away the love that we treasure and keep in our hearts.." -Joe D Mango :D

Just read Mitch Albom's book and I'm writing this down because I want to remind myself..


>> Tension of Opposites
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. -- Love wins. Love always wins

>> Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.

>> Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live

>> Learn to detach
If you hold back on the emotions--you never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, "All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotions for a moment.

>> Love and Marriage
In this culture, it's so important to find a loving relationship with someone because so much of the culture does not give you that. But the poor kids today, either they're too selfish to take part in a loving relationship, or they rush into marriage and then six months later, they get divorced. They don't know what they want in a partner. They don't know who they are themselves-- so how can they know who they're marrying?

If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
And If you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
You're values must be alike. - You're belief in the importance of your marriage.

>> Here's what I mean by building your own little sub-culture. I don't mean you disregard every rule of your community. I don't go around naked, for example. I don't run through red lights. The little things I can obey. But the big things--how we think, what we value--those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone--or any society-- determine those for you.

>> Death ends a life, not a relationship.

>> The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

>> When you're in bed, you're dead

>> Love each other or perish.

>> Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

>> Don't hang on too long, but don't let go too soon.

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

isa lang ang sagot.. FAITH

Bliss lasts for a fleeting moment
You will never be able to hold on to it
It has gone before you know it’s there
Like a comet you haven’t wished to
