DAILY ROUNDS

HEAVY CROSS ---> IT'S MEANINGFUL

2008-09-20T05:52:00.000-07:00

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

there will always be sunshine,

after the rain ....

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,

But God's always ready,

To answer your call ...

He knows every heartache,

sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

can calm every fear ...

Your sorrows may linger,

throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

in dawn's early light ...

The Savior is waiting,

somewhere above,

To give you His grace,

and send you His love...

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

"God always sends rainbows .....

after the rain ... "

To get out of difficulty, one must usually go through it !

CONTROLLING EMOTIONS

2008-08-24T19:19:00.000-07:00

Got this one from a very good email - friend...

This is a very good reminder for all of us.

HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS

This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards yourbetter-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your "boss". The rules of practicing "ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya" :

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.

#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.

#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewel, because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this

person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA

MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

i'll forever gonna miss you cousin, Ina, i miss you today. You are always in our hearts. i love you!

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
It's something more than saying "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey

INCREDIBLE LOVE STORY

2008-07-14T06:40:00.000-07:00

An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world. It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.

The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last 50 years.

Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fel l in love with a 29 year-old widowed mothe r named Xu Chaoqin..

In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.
At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.. To avoid the market gossip and the scorn of their communities, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing Municipality.

In the beginning, life was harsh as hey had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives.

Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, 'Are you regretful? Liu always replied, 'As long as we are industrious, life will improve.'

In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.

Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and were surprised to find the elderly couple and the over 6,000 hand-carved steps. Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, 'My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day. He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother's convenience, although she doesn't go down the mountain that much.'

The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.

'You promised me you'll take care of me, you'll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?'

Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband's black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks.

In 2006, their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

HAPPY WEEKEND

"jel bday rose finish"

2008-06-28T10:58:00.000-07:00

Finally fifteen days after my birthday, June 13th, the gift drawing from Erik, a friend, finished this morning. =)) Yeay!!!
It is a 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches made up of alot of dots of black and white color ink to make it darker and india ink, etc. (dunno what/howelse he made it, he said he'll gonna teach me sometime soon how it's done) This took him forever as he said about 25 hours all in all. I still don't have it on hand coz he's busy doing other errands and he promised to mail it by Monday(if not too busy still)
He promised not to show it to me until I receive and hold it, but he showed it sooner than he wanted. Don't you think he spoiled the fun of showing it to me earlier on pc? Yes he did. :/ I actually don't want to see it (eventhough i really want to) unless i hold it personally and see the actual beauty of it, but he's just too excited and insisted to let me than the person he's giving. But the sight of it made me smile =) and surprised! yes surprised, i don't expect the drawing to be a rose especially a yellow one which is a fave color! He promised to draw me a self-portrait but not =( Maybe i can ask for another one? lol Not only what I've expected it to be astonished me but the drawing itself, a yellow rose!! I've been dying(oh not the right and exact word i guess) to receive a yellow rose from anyone/someone (special?) over the centuries everytime my natal day comes and now i received one!? It may not be the actual real rose that i most wanted but still a rose that is yellow... and it got me thinking.... will He be the one?? lol 'Though i know a yellow one means Friendship. :D Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... :p
But yeah Thanks alot Erik for this. ISOOLOVEIT!!!! 'tho it took you forever.. :p You're my Twin and u know that :)) :hugsss: (~_^)

UNFAILING PRAYER TO SAINT ANTHONY

2008-06-12T09:09:00.000-07:00

Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints.

O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore of you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle. Even so, you are the saint of Miracles.

O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.

Amen. (Say 13 Our Fathers, Hail Marys, and Glorias)

SAINT ANTHONY

2008-06-12T08:59:00.000-07:00

Saint Anthony of Lisbon

Doctor of the Church
Born	ca. 1195, Lisbon
Died	13 June 1231, Padua
Venerated in	Roman Catholic Church
Canonized	30 May 1232, Spoleto, Italy by Pope Gregory IX
Major shrine	Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua in Padua, Italy
Feast	June 13
Attributes	book; bread; Infant Jesus; lily
Patronage	animals; barrenness; Brazil; Beaumont, Texas; elderly people; faith in the Blessed Sacrament; Ferrazzano, Italy; fishermen; Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land; harvests; horses; Lisbon; lost articles; lower animals; mail; mariners; American Indians; Masbate, Philippines; Cavite, Philippines; Sibulan, Negros Oriental, Philippines; oppressed people; Padua, Italy; poor people; Portugal; pregnant women; sailors; seekers of lost articles; shipwrecks; starvation; sterility; swineherds; Tigua Indians; travel hostesses; travellers; watermen

WHAT SORT OF MAN WAS ST. ANTHONY?

2008-06-12T08:47:00.000-07:00

St. Anthony is a very complex personality. Elements of reciprocal conflict existed within him. Every man is an enigma, if not an enigma of enigmas, not easily understood in terms of clear and distinct mechanisms.

Even a saint is unfathomable. Admitting that this is an imperfect and approximate analysis, we will try to explore some aspects of this extraordinary man.

His moral qualities emerge from his voice. His voice was highly praised by hagiographers. It was defined as amazing, with a rich range of inflection: quiet and strong, melodious and deep, clear and pleasant. He spoke for hours with sweetness and gentleness, or with a serious, deep tone. His effective oratory skills made use of every bit of persuasion, he was neither insidious nor abstract, nor empty and rowdy. He was deep, but well-fit for any audience, capable of interesting anyone. He obtained the approval of all listeners through his winning arguments. What had the greatest effect however was the active participation with which he spoke and his coherence in practicing what he preached.

The Saint's behaviour, though talented like few others in his day, was deprived of harshness and haughtiness. He was instead sweet and humble. He dressed poorly and was approachable to even the poorest and most ignorant people. His kindness and courtesy to everyone was remarkable, as was his patience and humanity. However, he was naturally effusive in pouring out scared doctrine, that whomever he spoke with, young or old, was struck by the truth of what he was saying. He certainly had a character of steel, but this was measured by a deep humanity. Anthony had led a life deprived of egocentricism. He felt that to give was more rewarding than to receive. He loved and was loved in return.

A writer wrote the following moral profile having gathered information from people who lived with Anthony:

Devoutly charitable, very wise and eloquent, pleasant to talk and converse with, patient despite ill health, benevolent in exhorting, strict in correcting, sweet when welcoming sinners, humble when exercising authority, thankful for benefits received, devoted to prayer, silent in the convent, a frugal eater, wise in meetings, kind to his equals, respectful to his superiors, courteous gentle with his inferiors. A great Saint and a fascinating man!

It is a pity we cannot approach him in person. But there are plenty of saints in our lives, and the God's Church is rich in them.

YOU FIRST BELIEVED

2008-05-29T10:35:00.000-07:00

.

You First Believed - Hoku

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid
Captured in your embrace

So many times
When my heart was broken
Visions of you
Would keep me strong
You were with me all along
Guiding my every step
You are all that I am
And I'll never forget

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

There were times
When I'd thought I'd lost you
Fearing forever was a dream
But it wasn't what it seemed
Placing your hand in mine
You could see in the dark
You were guiding my heart

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And you showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star

FLOOD SUCKS : /

2008-05-17T08:35:00.000-07:00

That sucks when rain/typhoon flood is getting inside the house and this happens today. It was nearly 3:00am when my aunt and I heard raining cats and dogs outside and we were alarmed to get up to raise things downstairs that needed to be raised in order not to get them damage by this. It happens yearly and it really sucks and tired doing the same thing all over again. My family is planning of renovating Lola's house for the second time since it last took its renovation i guess if I'm not mistaken last 1994(?) :D This will happen next year if we can contribute money right away. Of course alot is needed for the expense, and every family member who's working should contribute more or less P100k to get it done soon. Alot of money though for a person like me who gets paid less than minimum eh? and this reason excludes me :) but hopin' i can get a good paying job (ohh God help me) soon to work my butt up and to help and lessen the expensed pain.
You know i love it when it rains; the weather, the coldness and the sound of raindrops falling not thinking of what the consolation it gets. but havin' the flood after continuous and hard rain i don't think i would want it no more. :(

FUNNY DREAMS :)

2008-05-15T09:22:00.000-07:00

:) hahah nakakatawa. i received text message this morning from someone who kinda liked me, and the message goes like (translated to Filipino),
"hey napanaginipan kita, mag - asawa raw tayo...yuck...tapos tinanong ka ng isa sa mga nars kung ano mo ako at sabi mo asawa.tapos sinabi ng nars na dating bf yan ni Jily eh. at dun na natapos ang dream ko...hehe weird."

weirdo talaga noh! hmm, i was thinking iniisip nya pala 'ko before sleeping *wink*
ohh i remember other dream a friend of mine dreamt saying i kissed him daw?! ohh well kung alam ko lang may pagnanasa mga 'to sa akin eh, lol jk kaasar lang bat puro ganito dreams nila.haayy..
but yeah i really wonder how are dreams created?what do they meant to tell us? how can they be connected to the dreamworld and why can't we dream something we are so eager to dream about?

ohh well, it's time for me to sleep, i wonder who else is dreaming of me tonight and what about it :D
hmm, sana magka-dream ako na tumama sa lotto para masaya lahat and eventually do come true! heheh :p)

MOVIE

2008-05-14T08:35:00.000-07:00

i bought a dvd movie of When Love Begins, and just done watchin it tonight.. okay naman yung story, maganda din. i was moved by it, may nakakarelate na ibang part tas bigla na lang maiinis dahil sa situation nila. they were goin' out together and yet no commitment and responsibility. just pure companionship lang talaga. nakakainis isipin kung ikaw ang nasa situation ni Ben(played by Aga M.) na you love a person so dearly and yet the other don't care to bother at all what you've been feeling all this time. and if were to be in Mitch's (played by Anne C.) part, okay nga, masaya at happy-go-lucky pa and don't have to think of any commitment and responsibility para di ka lang masaktan. minsan tuloy parang naiisip ko i don't want a relationship to go deeper para di lang ma-hurt when somebody suddenly leaves yah without any reason at all. i had experienced it myself kaya tuloy ngayon ang mga nagpapalipad dyan, parang wala na sa 'kin, haayy.. sa ngayon wala sa 'kin talaga enjoy lang muna, but who knows someday :P

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!

2008-05-13T09:36:00.000-07:00

ohh yeah i wanna greet my younger bro's 23rd birthday. you maybe a real brat and stubborn but still i love you, :)
more birthdays and blessings comin' your way.
hope what i gave you is enough, alam mo na si ate. hahaha ! :p
GodBlessYou! muah :-* xoxo

MAKE - UP KIT ;<

2008-05-13T08:04:00.000-07:00

nothin' good about it but i do feel little sad for stealing my make-up kit. ;c i didn't notice it was stolen 'til i found out this morning when i was planning to go out. you may find this a 'cheap' problem (which i do too :I) but something i've there are valuable which are mostly given by friends and relatives. i know i could still buy new ones but the brand names(no need to list) i couldn't 'cause i'd rather buy things i mostly needed than like these things, plus am really not into make - up stuffs ;/ People whom i live with have their suspects and i don't know who to think was it. This happened i supposed during our community's Feast Day when people were coming in and out of the house. i lived in a two-storey house, upstair has 3 bedrooms. One bedroom was used by a cousin and a gay giving her make over in preparation for a parade for the feast day(where ppl kept comin' in out). adjacent to it is mine where my messy things are all over the place not thinking someone would of entered the place..
what i was pointing out was why the kit was lost when next to it were my jewelries? i was like thinking even small things were being stolen as long as someone would be needing them..
ohh my, at first i felt sad that i lost something but i got to think maybe someone else was needing it more than i do, this somehow makes me feel good out of what happened, just hope that that someone wouldn't get bigger stuffs next :/
wait last question, if were asked like "hey, may nailagay /nakita / nadala ka bang make up kit dito?" would someone answered (if really DIDN'T) with "wala, bakit?" and if someone DID would he not added "bakit?" well, just wonderin' maybe tryin to investigate though lol :p

TOP 5 GIFTS EVERY SINGLE MOM WANTS ON MOTHER'S DAY

2008-05-08T04:52:00.000-07:00

Mother's Day

Not sure what to get your mom for Mother's Day? Here are some ideas to help you get started:

1. Give Mom a Break
When you think of all that your mom does for your family, it's easy to see that she could use a break! Try scheduling a babysitter so that she can have a night to herself, or taking on some of the regular chores and duties she does around the house.

Additional Suggestions:

* Rent her favorite movie
* Make dinner or order her favorite take-out

2. Pamper Her
If pampering mom is what you want to do, you have lots of options to choose from. You could give her a massage, a manicure, or a pedicure. Remember, too, that these gifts don't have to cost a lot of money. Instead of spending $50 on a spa certificate, you can pick up all of the supplies you'll need at a local dollar store. Taking the time and effort to pamper her yourself if quite an act of love!

Additional Suggestions:

* Serve her breakfast in bed
* Give her a foot rub

3. Serve Her
What can you do for your mom that would really mean a lot to her? Perhaps you could clean out her car, or make several frozen meals to have on hand for busy evenings.

Additional Suggestions:

* Print out some "I-O-U" coupons for mom
* Clean the bathroom

4. Tell Her How You Feel
Mother's Day is a perfect time to put into words all of the warm and loving feelings you have for your mom. These are the kinds of gifts that she'll treasure forever.

Additional Suggestions:

* Write a simple poem
* List all the ways your mom positively touches your life

5. Spoil Her
What are some of the things that your mom really enjoys, but just never buys for herself? Call your aunt and your grandmother, and see if you could possibly chip in together and get mom something that would really surprise her. This can be as simple as buying her a box of her favorite chocolates or the body lotion she loves but rarely buys, to pitching in together on upgrading her cell phone. Be creative and see what different ideas you come up with.

Additional Suggestions:

* Buy a one-year subscription to her favorite magazine
* Purchase concert tickets to see her favorite band or artist

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU'RE REALLY IN LOVE

2008-05-07T08:26:00.000-07:00

It is a very common question, "How can I tell I'm in love?", but it is not an easy question to answer. What feels like love to one person may be nothing more than attraction to another. Some people fall in and out of love quickly and often while others are never really in love as much as they are in lust. This can get confusing when you are a teen because romantic love is a relatively new concept for you and you don't know what to expect. You are overwhelmed with all sorts of new feelings and social pressures. They are confusing. What is love? What makes you want a romantic relationship with one person and not another? How does your heart choose a partner? Why does love end? These questions can't be easily answered.

One of the most confusing quasi-love feelings is lust. Lust is a very powerful, very intense feeling of physical attraction toward another person.

Lust is mainly sexual in nature - the attraction is superficial based on instant chemistry rather than genuine caring. Usually we lust after people we do not know well, people we still feel comfortable fantasizing about. It is very common for people to confuse lust for love. But why? What is it about lust and love that make them so easy to mix up? If lust is all about sex, how can a relationship without sex be about lust? Teens struggle with this because they see lust in the Biblical sense, but lust isn't that sinister. Lust is about physical attraction and acting ONLY on physical attraction. Love is about much more than that. Yet many teens (and to be fair, many adults) confuse an intense attraction for some sort if divine love. For teens, since feelings of attraction are still new and since pop-culture sells sex and love as one package, it is very easy to get the two mixed up.

Lust is clearly not love. Love is based on more than just physical attraction. Sure, attraction is a factor, but love goes deeper than that. Love is based on caring, friendship, commitment and trust. When you are in love it is as if you have your best most trusted friend at your side AND you feel physically attracted to them. It is the best of both worlds! Love is a shared feeling between two people who have a vested interest in one anothers happiness. Love is not about jealousy. It is not about conflict. It is not about testing. Love is a positive feeling. If it is tainted by mistrust, jealousy, insecurity or spitefulness it is not really love but merely a pale copy. Love is the total surrender of your heart to another person with the security of knowing they will treat it better than you will. Love should feel good. It should not feel bad. Love should make you want to be a better person, it should not lead you to do something self destructive. Love is not demanding of your spirit but lifts it and makes it glow. Love is a good thing. Anything less is lust, deep friendship or attraction. So the sappiness aside, the question remains, how can you tell you are in love?

There is no easy way to find the truth behind your feelings or the feelings of another person but there are some tell-tale signs that love is blooming (or growing deeper). If you agree with 7 of the following 9 statements you are probably in love.

1. You know, because you have been told by your significant other, that your deep feelings are returned in kind.
2. The object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself.
3. If/when you feel jealous it is always fleeting; you trust your partner not to betray you or hurt your relationship.
4. Nothing makes you feel as serene as when you and your partner are together.
5. When you fight with your partner you usually make up within a few hours and you always agree that nothing is more important than you both being able to express your true feelings (even if they sometimes cause conflict).
6. Your partner never asks you to choose between him/her and your loyalties to your family and friends - if you do choose him/her over them you always have a good reason and it is always YOUR decision, and your decision alone.
7. Neither you or your partner feel the need to test the other's loyalties or feelings.
8. You are more yourself when with your partner than you are with anybody else.
9. If sex is part of your relationship it is by mutual desire and agreement without the slightest hint of commitment testing or persuasion.
