Messages I got from my e-mails

I got this greetings from my e-mails and friendster comments. I am truly blessed having friends around that care for. My heart feels good that even on short messages they sent it to me letting me feel that they are just there whenever I need them. Sometimes I feel alone, lonely and depressed friends is really a great help to move on. My special thanks to the following for sending me this beautiful messages.


Ivy- she is my sweet cousin. She is working at the DSWD, Cebu, amidst her hectic schedule she always finds time to e-mail me sending me jokes, forward e-mails that thru powerpoint and/or sending me religious qoute/verses that would help me in my daily living.

Lindy- a special children's teacher that always says how she misses our hang-outs in Manila. She is my high school classmate. Really a dear friend. Miss you too, Ga. That's how we call each other.

Mario- my cyberfriend from India who is now working in Dammam, Saudi. We've know each other since 2005 and until now we still e-mail each other, chat and he sometimes sends me this messages. Thank you friend for being so nice that even if we just meet on the internet you still value the friendship. We may not be chatting often but you are still there for me.

Sarah- she lives in Sweden. I met her in the friendster world. Although we are miles apart she still manage to send me tags and comments at my friendster. Never fail to send me informative messages at my e-mails.
Gina- my ever Kumare! whenever she is free from work and on the computer she would send me a bunch of comments and how are you mare! Musta na buhay sa States(how is life in the USA) As if she is not near to me, he he he. Heller! she just live in Yukon,Canada a boundary of USA and Canada. Anyways, she need to show her passport and tourist visa to visit me. Why not just call me mare, if you really need to hear my voice.
Yusuf- Turkey is a far country from the Philippines but this friend did not hesitate his eagerness to make friends with a poor girl like me. Even if he belongs to the elite group in the society he still manage to vow his head down and reach a person like me who belongs to the lower class. It means to say that being in the higher class in society is not a hindrance when friendship is the topic.

Hubby- He is one of a kind. A wonderful friend/hubby. He is one of my unknown fan in this blog. My number one critic. Lovely-you have to be careful in writing because your number one critic will read your post aha ha ha.

Steve- my ever loving friend who never fails to sent me e-mail everyday. I got 2 or 3 e-mails from him. He is never tired sending even if I fail replying his e-mails, he will still send a bunch of greetings, pictures and kept on sending me tags at my tagged page.

Gary - I met him by a friend. He lives in Utah. Every now and then he sent me a message at my YM asking how are you, miss chatting with you. And on e-mails he also sent this friendship message. His eyes always twinkle when I open my cam for him to see me when we chat. And he always show pictures of the beautiful places in Utah. I just hope that one day I could go there and see the beautiful sceneries that he shared with in the pictures.


To all my friends, thank you for the never ending support, loved, and care. I may not be rich in money but I am truly blessed with friends like you who is always there whenever I need you. I want you to know your friendship is really appreciated. I really treasure and value it.

If I had One Life to Live Over


If I Had My Life to Live Over (I Would Pick More Daisies) with L - Click here for funny video clips

by Erma Bombeck
The following was written by the late Erma Bombeck
after she found out she had a fatal disease.

If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.
I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's".. More "I'm sorrys" ...
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it ... live it...and never give it back.


Erma Bombeck is a writer.Some of her write-ups are inspirational and interesting. She made us face our everyday lives with humor. It seemed to me that she could make even the most dire situations seem better somehow by offering a smile for a small reprieve. Even the titles of her books crack me up,"A Marriage Made in Heaven, Too Old for an Affair." were the few books that i read authored by her. Those are old books but it captured my interest to read. Some of her lines was used by different speakers and used by some writers too or even used for punch lines in some engagement pieces. This one was made into song and the lyrics wrote by the author. Ms. Bombeck i salute your braveness, this is a tribute to you, may your soul rest in peace, and i know wherever you are, you are happy looking at us reading your contributions, your masterpiece and the talent that you unselfishly share with us. This song was sent to me by a friend. Actually it was form of a card that was sent thru an ecard site. Hearing this i was inspired to post at my blog. I search for the song and found it at meta cafe, embed it and post it here. This was an old song but i think the lyrics serves as an inspiration for those who read when they seem losing hope and seeking inner peace.

"If Tomorrow Never Comes"

I was sitting in front of the computer and thinking what to post in my blog. I remember that last week i feel i miss my country the Philippines, i miss my mother,and my sons. I feel i don't have someone to talk to when i am alone in the house and my husband is at work. If i call my family in the Philippines everyday it will cost us big amount of money. I manage to call them last July and August and when the bill come it cost us about a hundred dollars. I was shocked... HHHmmmnn so expensive. If i talk to them in the computer i am not satisfied and my mother too doesn't know how to use the computer. The headseat in my computer back home is not doing good too. The only means that i could talk to them is on the phone. Here in the US i could call anywhere in the state because we have an unlimited call and we could talk even an hour or more. Last Saturday, i remember to contact my cousin who is living in Florida and we have not meet yet for so many years when he leave the Philippines and until last week. I get my cellphone look at the phone book and try calling him if it would get thru. Alas! i heard a ring and i was happy only to hear a voice message; a leave a message after the tone. I was sad but i still leave my message in Tagalog saying that this is just a test i am not sure if this is really your landline number, if you are the right person that i am calling please call me back at my number and i give him the number. After one hour he called up and when i hear his voice, My God i really cried. I can't express the happiness that i feel in that moment. After an hour of talking, exchanging hello's, knowing what happens with each others life we bade goodbye on the phone and that moment i told him take care, seems that day would be my last. I feel good and happy to hear his voice and knowing that he is there to care for me second to my husband and my other relatives, and friends who is living here is the US. I feel i am secure even if my parents and sons are not here and that i have someone to cling to whenever i need support. That time i could say i feel blessed to have a loving and supportive husband, parents sons and cousins, relatives and friends. And i know if i would leave at that moment i would be happy, feeling complete knowing that they are there loving me. And that i in turn was glad to let them know and love them. Or if ever tomorrow never comes as we don't know how long we will live at least i think i was able to let them feel how much i care for them. How much they meant to me. That's when i remember this old song sang by Ronan Keating and was inspired by a writer who is already dead. This inspiration gives me the urge to post this video and lyrics so that you could sing and enjoy and possibly think that's it not yet late to let our love one's feel they are meant so much to us.



Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To show her every day
That she's my only one
If my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes.

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance
To tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way
To show her every day
That she's my only one
If my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

Say "I Love You"

How many of us always says I love you to our parents. When we are far how often do we remember them. When we got married seems we don't care anymore. I am not saying that all of us is doing that but there are some and this is happening especially today's generation where some wants to live in their own. They sometimes don't want their parents to intervene in their affairs. When we are busy, do we really remember to call them and ask how they are, what are they doing? How often do we visit them, treat them to a coffee shop or when they are around how often do we talk to them. So, many questions to ask and so many if's to say.No offense meant here but just my opinion and observation. This story that i post here is just a reminder to those who forget to spend their time with their parents. It's not yet late to let them know how much we love and care for them. It's not yet let to return back the favor that they give us. While they still feel and hear us let them know how important they are to us. This is the story.

After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping alive the spark of love. A little while ago I had started to go out with another woman. It was really my wife's idea. "I know that you love her," she said one day, taking me by surprise.

"But I love YOU," I protested. "I know, but you also love her." The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called
to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

"What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you," I responded. " Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment then said "I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.

"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting". We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First
Lady.

After we sat down, I had to read the menu to her. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entree, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.

"Then it's time for you to relax and let me return the favor," I responded.

During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation, nothing extraordinary - but catching up on recent events of each others lives. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you". I agreed. "How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

A few days later my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.

Some time later I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I was almost sure that I couldn't be there but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant to me. I love you."

At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time: "I LOVE YOU" and giving our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than God and your family and friends. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off 'til "some
other time". Someone once said "I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I think this is true with your in-laws, grandchildren, sisters, brothers and your friends. Anyone that means something to you-you should spend time with them and let them know how much they mean to you as often as you can.

Yahweh's awesome power




Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalms 117





Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalms 119



Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible?
A: Psalms 118




Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118
Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118
Add these numbers up and you get 1188.



Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?
A: Psalms 118:8



Q: Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives?




The next time someone says they would like to find
God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to
be in the center of His will, just send them to the
center of His Word!



Psalms 118:8
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?





I will say a prayer for you. Got a minute? 60 seconds for God?
All you do is say a small prayer for the person who sent you this.........




"Father God,
Bless my friend in whatever it is that you know
He/She may be needing this day!
And may His/Her life be full of your peace,
prosperity and power as He/She seeks
to have a closer relationship with You.

Amen"




I have prayed for you,please join the prayer
and you will caused a multitude of people pray to God for other people.
Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life...





When things get tough,
always remember...
Faith doesn't get you around trouble,
it gets you through it !!

An Irish Blessing



May the Blessing of Light be upon you
Light on the outside, light on the inside.

With God's sunlight shining on you,
May your heart glow with warmth,
like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike.

May the Light of the Lord shine from your eyes,
Like a candle in the window,
Welcoming the weary traveler.

May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you,
Falling gently on your head
Refreshing your soul with the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming

May the strength of the winds of heaven bless you
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean
Sparkling after in the sunlight.

May the blessing of God's earth be on you
And as you walk the roads
May you always have a kind word for those you meet.

May you understand the strength and power of God in a
thunderstorm and winter
and the quiet beauty of creation
and the calm of a summer sunset

And may you come to realize
that insignificant as you may seem in this great universe
you ARE an important part of God's plan.

May he watch over you
and keep you safe from harm.




May this video and its message be a blessing to everyone who visit my page...
