36 things.

I am taking my break in between reading this very informative blog when I chanced upon this from AGGIE. Truly a must read . Have a good Thursday everyone. Chill, weekend is almost there.

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

19. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

25. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat.

26. If you had to identify in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings.’

27. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness.’

28. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

29. You should not confuse your career with your life.

30. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.

35. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.

36. Your friends love you anyway.

post-Vday entry.

For some couples, Valentines day are not that important as they find it too commercialized and very corny. Corny as it may seem, I make sure to celebrate this important day with my spouse. However, for this year, I have not gotten my spouse anything. This new collection of fashion jewelry from holstedjewelers are nice ideas for post Valentines gifts or even birthday presents. The are currently running huge discounts plus items are tagged at less than $50 a piece. You can easily purchase one and with their fast shipping , your loved ones will be very surprised with your post-vday gift. Happy Shopping.

in love.

I got this in my email during Valentines day. I could not help but laugh at it LOL!

If you do not know, back in my home country, JOLLIBEE is the mascot of the biggest fastfood chain and obviously, Ronald McDonald is his (or her) biggest rivalry.

The photo is just so cute and funny hee
Belated Happy Vday!

Godly Guidelines

To start off our weekend, here’s some Godly guidelines I got from my mom’s email. I am guilty of some and should start practicing some . You know, it’s always easier said than done but it would not hurt to at least try.

Have a good Saturday everyone!

1. QUIT WORRYING:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?

2. PUT IT ON THE LIST:
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list.. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can’t help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after all… God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.

3. TRUST ME:
Once you’ve given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials.
Problems with the kids? Put them on My list.
Problem with finances? Put it on My list.
Problems with your emotional roller coaster?
For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.

4. LEAVE IT ALONE:
Don’t wake up one morning and say, “Well, I’m feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here.” Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It’s simple. You gave Me your burdens and I’m taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don’t you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.

5. TALK TO ME:
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I’m in control. But there’s one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don’t forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.

6. HAVE FAITH:
I see a lot of things from up here that you can’t see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I’m doing. Trust Me; you wouldn’t want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?

7. SHARE:
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven’t heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.

8. BE PATIENT:
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.

9. BE KIND:
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.

10. LOVE YOURSELF:
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only — to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don’t ever forget……

Touch someone with your love.
Rather than focus upon the thorns of life,
smell the roses and count your blessings!

guests are just as important as the occasion

In every occasion, guests are very important. Days or even weeks before the even most especially when weddings are being talked about, these guests think of their dress, what to give the couple etc… etc… So, it is just polite and customary for the hosts or the bride and groom, during weddings to give wedding favors or any form of souvenir as a token of appreciation for coming to the occasion and for their presents as well. If you are planning for a wedding and have no idea what to give your guests, you can check theknot.com and type in souvenirs or favors. Also, you can easily custom-made any wedding favor of your choice.

Christian Ways (part4)

For the 4th and last part, if there’s one thing I am practicing perfectly it would be #28. Oh boy, I may be one worry-wart but I laugh too much, I would even pass for a crazy girl LOL!. I am easy to forgive but I need to SLOW DOWN in most aspects of my life. Hope the list help you too.

28. Laugh some more!

29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.

30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).

31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most.

32. Sit on your ego.

33. Talk less; listen more.

34. Slow down.

35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe

36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you’re grateful for that you’ve never been grateful for before.

Christian Ways (part3)

So for the part 3 .
I badly need my 2009 plannerSSSS! Yes I have 3, friends from Manila gave me a BDJ and a Starbucks planners, I feel special and loved! Also, another friend here gave me a Moleskine 2009 weekly planner. All I need to do is plan my day to day schedule and manage my time wisely and I would have less cranky 2009

19. Get organized so everything has its place.

20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.

21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.

22. Every day, find time to be alone.

23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don’t wait until it’s time to go to bed to try and pray.

24. Make friends with Godly people.

25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.

26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good “Thank you
Jesus.”

27. Laugh.
