Only in the Philippines(Our Christmas Lantern)

It is only in the Philippines,that is a very common phrase we heard especially if we are outside in our native land.I thought before that phrase is a word to mock us Filipinos but just recently I figured it out it is really true.There are some things that can only be found in our country the Philippines. Today I put up our "parol" or christmas lantern that came from the Philippines and I am very proud to say that we are the only one that have that kind of decoration here in our place.Mom brought it last 2006 and only now I was able to put it.It really looks nice and our neighbor asked me where I bought it,and my reply was "you can only get it in the Philippines,and I repeated,yes..Only in the Philippines". Everytime it catches my attention,I can't help but smile and it bring back alot of good memories I had during Christmas Season when I was still in my hometown.One more thing,I believe that "only in the Philippines",I experienced how joyful the christmas season inspite of hardship in life.We didn't have much food but we have something in the table,not much gifts to received but so many friends that make us happy and that is enough reason for me to feel complete during Christmas Day...

Silver Lining

Ahh,what a day I had today and yesterday.My aunt just had her operation and I am the one taking care of her but no big deal it is an easy job to do.The weather is not cooperating,it is too cold for this past few days which I do hate but no matter how much I whine about it,it makes no difference so I better shut my mouth up and deal with it. Also it is a sad day for me cause two of my online friends just had an argument,I hoped and wished that they will resolve their differences in due time.I just hope though but if they will stop being a friend at least they will talk and leave each other in peace. But aside from those dramas in life,a long time friend of mine,sent me a birthday card with a funny message on it and it made me smile and I know that in this crazy world,I have someone I can call a very best friend of mine.She is my highschool buddy,we been through alot together and we fought and made up.I guess that is what made us realized that we are friends for life no matter how far we are from each other.She is in New Zealand right now but everytime we chat,it seems that she is just there infront of me.Funny but true.I miss you dear.Hope to see you soon. Her msg said:"Wag kang mag-alala kung patanda ka na,at least you can always say.... I'm older but I Am Richer!Eto pa,you can always use this line kahit gasgas na....I AM AGING SEXILLY AND GRACEFULLY!!!(Linyang pang gurang nuh?:))at wag sabihin ang totoong edad!!(E,di NANLOKO ka pa,ok lang yan kaarawan mo naman kaya safe ka.) MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN MAhal kong KAIBIGAn(sip-sip nuh?!)

A song that fits me well?

I been listening this song for a while now and my friend told me that this song really fits me,I agree with her in silence.Here is the Lyrics,this is sang by The Corrs. I’ve often wondered if loves an illusion, Just to get you through, the loneliest days, I can’t criticize it, I had no expectation, My imagination just stole me away Still I believe (I’m missing) I’m missing something real. I need someone who really sees me (Don’t wanna wake) Don’t wanna wake up alone anymore, Still believing you’ll walk through my door, All I need is to know it’s for sure, That I’ll give All the love in the world. Loev’s for a lifetime, Not for a moment, So how could I throw it away? Yea, but I’m only human, And nights were colder, With no one to love me that way. Yeaa.. I need someone who really sees me (Don’t wanna wake) And I won’t wake up alone anymore, Still believing you’ll walk through my door, You’ll reach for me and I’ll know it’s for sure, That I’ll give All the love in the world. (Don’t wanna wake up alone anymore) Alone (Don’t wanna wake up alone) Don’t wanna be alone (Don’t wanna wake up alone) you’ll reach for me (Don’t wanna wake up alone) don’t wanna wake up alone (Don’t wanna wake up alone) still believing you’re someone… (Don’t wanna wake up alone)

Friendship knows no Limit

Last Sunday,as we gathered all in the living room and watched a movie,I had the pleasure of watching my two other dogs,Buddy and Tito.Buddy is a golden retriever which both parents were a hunting dogs and Buddy himself act sometimes that way,especially when he will see some animals in the backyard,he will not stop chasing them until he will get it and he will only let it go if it is lifeless.Just last July of this year,they(Champ my other golden)killed the dog of our neighbor who did his thing in our front yard,I witnessed it all as I myself was bitten by the puppy cause I was trying to save him but my effort wasn't enough.He died. In last 2 years the big dogs always stays in our basement for safety reason,they don't like strangers that much and they get wild.It was just like last year we decided to put Buddy up because Champ was sick and he stayed in vet hospital for 2 weeks and another 2 weeks in our local vet.What really amazes me the bonding that Tito and Buddy made,the small dog is such a playful one and Buddy who is 10 yrs old is old enough to play but he gave in and play until he runs out of breath. Now,they are best of friends,if Tito is lying down,Buddy will licked him and sometimes Tito hide in buddy's belly.I am scared sometimes that Buddy might forget and his killer instinct will attack,for sure Tito will be crushed to death.Everytime he grabbed Tito on the neck it gives a jitter but thank God,he never really did anything to hurt Tito.I came to realization that maybe Buddy knows that Tito is his family,a playmate and bestfriend inspite and despite of their differences.Indeed friendship knows no limit.

Happy Thought

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it everyday. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. You are special and unique. 8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look. 11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
