Should I Compliment Myself With this?




You Are Okay With Money



You're about average with money, which means you probably don't have a lot of it.
Your instincts tell you to stay out of debt and spend wisely...
But you don't always listen to your instincts!
With a little more effort, you could have a nice little nest egg. You just have to control your spending.


I still need to improve and stop burning holes in my wallet. ASAP!

Preach Yourself This.


Sand and Stone

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

"Today my best friend slapped me in the face."

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

"Today my best friend saved my life."

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?"

The other friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

“Learn To Write Your Hurts In The Sand, And To Carve Your Benefits In Stone”


A story that is quite applicable to what I should have done before I have uttered those hurtful words tactlessly.

April Fool's

I’m sorry we came too early in the middle of your way.

I may not remember if I really have the intention from the very beginning to tag along with you or purely just an “accident” that we were both forced to face. Maybe yes, I wanted this but not this soon. I may have considered this as a vision but surely, not in the top of my A-List priority.

I know you feel you are being deprived of things that supposedly will make you happier instead of restraining yourself from doing because you already have a responsibility or in a much heavier term – obligation – up your shoulders.

I have come to accept this circumstance. I have put my defenses down just to be contented with what the fate had course upon me. I have set my mind that this is not a mistake, but something I should be grateful no matter what. But things change.

In the short span of months I already feel like I’m a loser. I wanted to fight and to hold still but to no avail, change is nowhere. The shitty insulted feeling I have in me now makes me want to move on and face all of this by myself. You often ask what’s on my mind or what I am thinking in that moment, truthfully, I am thinking to stand on my own and live alone.

There are always thoughts coming that I don’t need you anymore but I know you will just laugh pointing at my actions of demanding too much from you. But hell, not! You are not making me feel that I am not in the position, even in consolation, of demanding more of your attention or demanding less of your rudeness, tantrums and hate.

I really don’t feel I’m overreacting or too emotional for that matter. I want you to understand that I have faced this situation too early I was not even prepared or ready about it. Please don’t just assume that this entire situation is okay with me or that I don’t have a problem with this. You never asked me, you just concluded that what I am about to get myself into is the place I really wanted to go.

But please don’t think that I don’t like what had happened to me. To tell you the truth, the moment I have seen and confirmed it, the very first reaction I made was to smile sincerely. I was grateful and felt the excitement over clouding through my feelings. The same excitement, which I hope you will also feel but you failed to show or that I missed to see in your action and hear in your words.

Although I don’t imply that you are not a good partner but I really don’t get where it lacks understanding or consideration.

I am just afraid, I hope you will recognize the fears and worries I keep inside me before I go to sleep and right after I woke up. See, it is not just about me that I worry. Can’t you understand the phase I am going through? This situation caught me off-guard unprepared. It had left me no choice or enough time to get myself composed and secured.

I am not open to any resolution or compromise because I send this point down with my self-esteem. I won’t admit that what I am about to do if things don’t go my way is just a case of too much paranoia that clouds against good judgment and fair decision.

Love Letter on a Good Friday

Good Friday
March 5, 2005


It’s Good Friday of this year’s Holy week and I haven’t yet done anything good or holy for this matter. Am I a bad Roman Catholic? I believe in God, I don’t put His Name in shame, I don’t steal, I haven’t killed anybody, I don’t have a husband yet to exempt me from committing adultery. But how often do I not observed the Sabbath Day and disobeys frequently the 4th commandment in the catholic faith to honor and respect thy mother and father. Who completely does anyway? Not even Jesus in his life of 33 years once hurt his mother Mama Mary by denying her as his mother. At some point in my life I have questioned his existence, His authority, His love, and the idea of sacrificing his son is an absolute hoax thinking that everything and every ideas that surround God’s existence is only a pigments of man’s imagination reflected by their weaknesses to face all the challenges and all their fears. And that God is created out of necessity to be blamed about things that mortal man could not explain.

I think that every child, every confused and wondering child have own series of questions starting from who is God, what is He or She and ends with a question of how God’s Divinity could be proved. Some even asks how many Gods are there but the church, school and in addition to my parent has thought me that there is only One God but they failed to explain and they failed to answer the question Where is He.

Do I even have the right to generalize and say, “Every child”? For in my ignorance and self-deceiving questions, this generalization is illogical and that I am the only one or that only few have queries like this. I could never really pinpoint the exact moment I started to doubt God and His immeasurable mercy. Do you even know that when I put entries on my diary or journal I always start a salutation of “Dear God”? I always talk to God and built a personal relationship with Him and thought that it was strong enough that nothing could break it.. and so I always though until I just woke up with a loosing faith and the relationship I built or the bond I made with Him along with the promise to lay all my concerns to Him had vanished.

What have resulted from turning my back on Him? By believing my reasons and not having faith? Nothing – nothing good. It resulted to a lost feeling, extreme loneliness, depression, self-pity, dilemma and resentment. In time, I have managed to fight and yet again established a stronger and more intimate relationship with God with a firmer faith. And for the fear of eternal damnation and the anticipation of eternal life, is it heaven or hell? Afraid of both, afraid I will not go to heaven and afraid to gnash my teeth in the cold or burn in hell.

It’s Good Friday today, the death of Jesus will once again remind us to repent and ask for forgiveness,

God has already forgiven me, I know.
He HAD by giving YOU to me.. I love You.

(a love letter I wrote for him and HIM 3 years ago) :D

Puppies For Sale

The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the Eyes of a little boy.

Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."

The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.

"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"

"Sure," said the farmer.

And with that he let out a whistle,” Here, Dolly!" he called.

Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.

As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this One noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up....

"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.


The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."

With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."
