A good movie

It's yet another boring off day and i've decided to watch some movies on the PC.
I watched ''Julie and Julia'' just a couple of hours ago and i really think that it' s a very inspiring, sweet and touching movie. It speaks of a husband's love, an ambitious woman, the love for food and the process of making glorious food!

I'm gonna start making that yum stew tomorrow!

Love is possible, Sarah.

To my friend Sarah,

You said love is impossible..

Sarah: "seem impossible with someone like Joyce.. the person don't even know me. I'm like a foreign antibody..I dunno if I should laugh or cry."

But I'd say this:
"Sarah, I've had my fair share of good and bad times too."

"Be an antibody that fights not defeated.
Life is a journey that you and i will have to travel.
We'll face bumps in the journey, but we'll also get to enjoy the smooth silky roads.
When it's bumpy, remember the silky days and always pick yourself up.
And when the road is smooth, remember those bumpy days and be thankful for what you have.
When the journey seems to be too long, take a break and enjoy the view for whatever that it has to offer to you.
For some, when the journey is long, they'd like to look ahead and await for the best that is yet to come.

Never say never. BUT sometimes learn to let go.

When i look back, memories flashes me by.
I'd always choose to look at the beautiful ones, that has made me smile.
But I'd also bare in mind those that are unpleasant, to help remind.
(My thoughts for the day - Looking forward, remember back, living present.)

Love is where the heart is.

Love is where the heart is.
Love requires honesty, and likewise honesty requires love.
Honesty requires courage.
And courage comes from the heart.
So if you have love, be honest, be courageous and be sincere.
Love is where the heart is.

Remember Your Vows

I want to fall in love with you every new day,
To hold your hand and whisper in your ears,
To walk by the beach with you,
Sing you a love song,
To gaze into your eyes and see no one else but you.

Remember the walks under the moonlight,
The wish we made on the shooting star.
With you,
Mountains of dreams and hopes i want to share.
And to promise you that,
As long as i live,i will make you happy.
I will cherish you for the rest of my days.

When all else fails,
when arguments arise,
when tears start to flow,
when you no longer hold my hand,
when we can't seem to look eye to eye anymore,
when everything you do hurts me,
when every word you say pricks me,
when every night turns sleepless,
when every summer feels like winter,
when every day seems to be gloomy.

Remember,
That i love you.
Remember,
The memories we had,
Remember,
The first ''I love you'' we exchanged.
Remember,
The promise i made,
and i will still cherish you.
For i have said my vows,
putting God our witness.

I will love you,
not out of duty,
not out of sympathy,
not out of responsibility,
but by the simple truth that I love you.

p.s: A life experience shared by a friend inspired this.
Don't marry a person and start forgetting your vows.
Vows made are to be kept.

Cherish you

When i say "I love you'',
Trust me that i do.
When i say ''i miss you'',
Know that you are always on my mind-unforgettable.

Fly me to the moon and let me sit among the stars,
Hold my hand and and look into my eyes,
Cause it would mean more than words to me,
I just want to be close to you.

I L-O-V-E you!

Consistency

Don't pray when the sun shines, if you don't pray when it rains :-)

Can I Borrow $25?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'

DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.

SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down , and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' He asked.

'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love..
Have we forgotten what is really important in life? Too caught up in money, personal
ambitions, and forgot how to enjoy and appreciate the sweet simplicities in life?

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Good Reminder

after New York 9/11...this message was circulated...good reminder...

The ' L I T T L E ' Things
As you might remember, the head of a company survived 9/11
Because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was
His turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her
Alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident.

One of them
Missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.

One's
Car wouldn't start.

One couldn't
Get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
Took the various means to get to work
But before he got there, he developed
A blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..


Now when I am
Stuck in traffic,
Miss an elevator,
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone...

All the little things that annoy me.
I think to myself,
This is exactly where
God wants me to be
At this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be
Going wrong,
The children are slow getting dressed,
You can't seem to find the car keys,
You hit every traffic light,
Don't get mad or frustrated;
It May be just that
God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you
With all those annoying little things
And may you remember their possible purpose.
