That thing called Kindness

They say .. "Kindness is your inner smile" , is it ?? That maybe subjective, however that may still apply to most..

"Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume."
-- French Proverb

Virtue is an "old-fashioned" term that means moral excellence or goodness. A virtuous person possesses certain character traits, or values, that society considers worthy of admiration. Honesty, compassion, courage and kindness are some of the values that make us good in the eyes of others.

Like a flower with an pleasant scent, people who exhibit virtue in their daily lives attract admirers. They are respected by their friends and family, valued by their employer and embraced by their community. They make the world a better place. People who are beautiful on the outside may be pleasing to look at, but people with inner beauty leave a sweet fragrance in the lives of everyone they meet.

Of all the different values a person can possess, kindness is a special quality that generates tremendous power. It uplifts heavy hearts, brightens dark situations, heals hurt feelings. Hatred and anger are no match for the power of kindness. And perhaps best of all, every act of kindness gives you a warm glow in your heart that nothing else can match. You are best to yourself when you are good to others.

Being kind doesn't require much effort. In fact, the smallest acts of kindness often mean the most. Letting someone go ahead of you in line, writing a note to a discouraged friend, offering to do a simple chore for a family member - kindness is a gift of great value that costs you very little.

Kindness is an excellent measure of your how big your heart is as a person.

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

-- Ian MacLaren

Be Radiant : Smile =)

What? Smile ? Yeah Just smile ..

Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you. That's Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the inside - kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control.

What is the best way to walk into a crowded room by yourself? The answer is simple: take something very important with you - a smile.

Wearing a smile when you are among strangers is the best way to invite them to get to know you. A smile sends a message that you are friendly and easy to like. It tells people that you have a positive outlook and that you are smiling and attractive on the inside. Your face is the first thing people look at when they meet you for the first time, so why not let it advertise what a great person you are?

Give smiles away like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile. Then let people see that your smile doesn't stop at your mouth, or at your eyes, or at your lips rather, It goes all the way to your heart.

It is sometimes said, "Frown and you frown alone," "but smile and the whole world smiles with you." The whole world? That may be a stretch, but a smile can be incredibly powerful. Wearing a warm smile can draw people to you, put others at ease, and even cheer you up.

So If you meet a man who has no smile, give him yours ..

The Rose Within

This is just a short story i found somewhere, err i found it from spams .. I loved it therefor i made it a part of my precious blog. Lol.

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of true (note: i added that bold one) love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

The Best Expression of Love

The importance of things can be measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them. The more time you give to something, the more you reveal it's importance and value to you, if you want to know a person's priorities, just look at how they use their time.

Time if your most precious gift because you only have limit amount of it. You can make more money, but you cant make more time, when you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life, that is why the greatest gift you can give someone if your time.

It is not enough just to say relationship are important, we must prove it by investing in them. Words are worthless. Relationship takes time and effort and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E

The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves. Men in particular often don't understand this.. Many have said.." I don't understand my wife and kids. I provide everything they need, what more could they want?".. They want you! Your eyes, your ears, your attention, your presence, your focus - your time. Nothing can take place of that.

The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolates. it is focused attention. love concentrates so intently on another that your forget yourself at the moment. "I value you enough to give you my most precious asset - my time." Whenever you give your time, you are making a sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of love. Jesus modeled this.."Be full of Love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave Himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins."

You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. "For God so loved the world that he gave ....".Love means giving-up, yielding your preferences, comfort, security, goals, money, energy or time for the benefit of someone else.

The best use of Life is Love, The best expression of Love is Time, The Best Time to Love is Now.

Expectations..yada..yada..

Complains.
Thats whats in my head right now..
Questions.
I want them answered, but can be..
I have to wait, further..
I always wait..
I'm so good at waiting or I guess that what they believe..
Because actually i'm not.. I hate it, but there are exceptions and sometimes you cant direct yourself to just ignore, i guess when you love, you wait..
Duhhhhhhh ...
Grrrr.. >_<

If you're important to someone follows great expectations.. Why is that? Maybe because you think that they won't hurt you or maybe because you believe that they just want the best things in life for you like what? Luck, Love, Joy? Maybe you are wrong. Because If you love someone you are giving them unimplied right to abuse you with expectations, the very least to neglect you. Thats one fact, when you love someone, you're giving them the right to hurt you.. thats just simply because of "Expectations". I guess when you believe you are important to somebody you have high hopes, an anticipation of the future upon which something excellent is expected to happen or atleast something good or atleast nothing.. Ive been waiting long.. Too many times. But because i love, im also getting worried, because im human im also getting tired, and because i expect, i am also getting frustrated. Well, They say that Patience is a virtue. Give me more if you have it, or else i will end up, not minding at all, When that happens, Can it be called my victory? Winning over expectations.. Loosing that love within me?..

Lovin' March

LOL.. Lemme start it it with a laugh LOL, i've gone crazy.. huh..my blog is becoming more like an online diary. But does it matter? its my blog right? and people visit my blog to have a glimpse of whats happening to me, to know my thougts, to laugh on some of my crazy cracks, to listen to my music and for some to steal my pictures. haha. (that was the real joke) LOL..

Well, Its March already, finally..
I love March simply because it polishes every bad things that happened to me last month.. Talking about February, I dont know but i think this month hates me LOL.. because most (if not all )of the bad things, most depressive events happened to me in that month..To name a few..My previous relationship actually started and ended February. My first "friend" gave me so much heartaches that for some reason always falls in this month.It was love month and yet this is the only month that i actually dont feel too much loved, imagine your bf saying I love you to someone else on Valentines Day?. woot.. that's just one, and there's still a lot but i have no intention to reminisce them for heaven's sake..Feb is Gone..Hello March..
Okay, so as i said in my previous article, I was truly born early morning Feb 29, but my parents chose Feb 28, that being the closest in terms of time interval.Sometimes i was thinking, what change could have been if i was born March.. but then again, i know im too smart to realize that stupidity.. Nothing..
I can say that during this month i cater my cards down, organize my life, make decisions, fix whatever needs to be fixed and leave any that needs to be forgotten..This is how i view March. For me March is a turning point for all my mistakes in the past year, its a deciding period for all my failures. If you're sensible enough to read me as a person, you will realize that i view my birthday (Feb28) as the ending..And i view March as the beginning..
March 1, 1980. Thats my first completed day as a human. this is when i could say, i lived.. and not "i was given life", not "i was born", and definitely not "i become alive".
March..
I had so many plans that started in March, but recently i planned one thing in February, (something for March) that could have changed my life.. that being the case, made me excited so i opted to prolong, it was unexpected, as i actually plan it to be executed come March 1.. But i did, Feb 14.. U__U..Too bad, i was not emotionally intelligent enough to realize that i was not ready.. So it ended before even March. I regret that to the point that i want to turn back time even if February would extend, but then again, it cant be.. right? Whats done is done..Time passes by, and there are things that just need to happen.
March is here anyways..A new year for me starts now, a new life starts now .. If you've wished me a happy birthday before, that was to remember the day i was born, that was past tense..March is Today, Onwards is my Future..So cheers for me, bottoms up ... To life, to love, to luck.. to Mau!

Emoing

I've been through a lot lately..
I dont know maybe growing up does not really take an overnight, me, being naturally stubborn learning really takes time, i guess, because the more i see it the more i deny it, its because my heart is just too big to accept it.
I was on the bus heading home from Cubao, i just signed another job offer. Luck is coming my way, It should be, its my birthday, I should have started in tthat company 3 months back, unfortunately i chose to work closer, therefor, i went for Eperformax..
As i was heading home, im feeling a bit emoional having my music player maxed on.. Feels good to let it go, anyways, nobody would care, im at the rear part of the bus and the windows are adorned with thick draperies, so i just let it all go, everything im feeling and somehow it made me feel better.. being in tune to what you feel, not preventing yourself from remembering people associated with the songs you hear.. Accepting it..all of it..happiness, longing,pain embracing every experience at the moment .. acknowledging their existence..
Life..28 yrs of me.
It was a long movie, but it was worthwhile to remember it.. yah just remember it, never live on it..

Just wish me a Happy Birthday

My Birthday is almost here.. except that its a special day for me because its the day i was born or the day that made my parents happy, other than that, maybe thats just one ordinary day.. But heres the catch.. how many people on earth were born on a leap year.. Lol, because i was..

Yeah.. i was told i was really born early morning of February 29, and since my parents would prefer me to be more likely "normal" i was registered in Pasig Municipality under February 28.. since that was the closest.. more or less.. Theres nothing really special about that day.. actually i thought that this will be one memorable birthday for me.. but i guess i can only hope for the best at this moment..Even i dont know where to go right now. I am confused with my own life and i dont know which turns are wrong..

Since November, I was fearing that this day would come that I'd be alone.. and i guess i would really be..Well, its my birthday anyways..so i guess I just have to live the fact that being alone that day would be okay.. On my birthday i wont take my phone with me, even if i know i will be rained with calls and greetings, i will reserve this time to myself..Enjoying myself, loving myself since no one does... Where will i go? grr I got limited budget.. i just lost my job didn't I? But where? Ill go abroad hehehe or ill go to zamboanga and play roseonline in Edwins computer shop, maybe ill go to Bataan to meet Lalaine and her cousins..Maybe i'll go to Roly's and spend a day in the pc shop with his friends. Maybe ill go to Elbi and drink all night with our badminton friends. or Maybe ill go see old friends and enjoy a nice Mary Kay make over.. Maybe i can also go to Tagaytay myself, walk walk and walk until im so dead exhausted. or i can go to Cubao and take the next trip to Baguio, or maybe i can go Star City alone and ride all the stuffs that i fear of. Or maybe i can go Batangas pier and take the earliest boat going Galera.. or the cheapest ferry going to Calapan, heading home to Naujan..

Where..?

Maybe also i can ask MrMouse extra money so i can buy a ticket to #*@@$ (decode that if u can) and hug one person then go back home. Maybe go to SG and take all pictures of myself everywhere. Or go to Bev in HK and have tea in Kowloon House.. I really think i deserve something for myself on that day.. but what??

Everything is so limited.. i feel like im in a cage but unwanted.. I wanna go far and i wanna be in a place where no one knows me..where i can cry and no one would care..i can laugh and go naked and no one would even bother to stare.. Where i can shout freely, carelessly, never minding any spectacles around..I wanna go to a place where i can leave it all.. The pain, the longging, the misery, the love. I think i deserve that right? if not always, well atleast on my birthday..

Im turning 28, and im still the same,childish me, im still the same me..Nothing good is happenning in my life, and i felt like the career im best at is being addictive to despair.. I wish that day would come and pass, because on that day i will again be reminded of how beautiful life is, excluding my own..

Well.. Just wish me a Happy Birthday..

Pie's New Phone Photos

Uploaded to Multiply..
Here are the photos (samples) uploaded from my sisters's new clam phone.. Ofcourse since thats her phone, some are her photos, some of photos at home, in the office, int he room, in the bed and of course yours truly.. hehe .. Indulge!



Thats my sister .. Pia Marie, ganda nya noh, she's younger
than me,she's 24 now.. oh she's a blogger too.. Some of her pics were taken from the office with her friends, some in our house while playing with our dogs.





Thats her trying to get my dog out under the table, she could not get her out, so she went herself down the floor.. see.. my Miki obeys only me.. you can only have her obey you if you have something to give her,or if you can give a nice scratch to her ears . bad doogie..hehehe

Then here i am, again lying down the bed hehe, why are my pics taken from the same spot? you might wonder why.. thats because the room's color was either too bright during the morning or too dull at night so thats the best place to give me the nicest color and effect. other than that im too lazy to even bother sitting or standing. .. again, thats me smiling on my own, 1.. 2.. 3.. Click!

HiRaIa's Hubbey

Look, there he is the man behind Intelasus, Hebarnian mage of AruaRose, a private server that rise after Prose's falldown. He used to be Mistermelo of Prose, rather Luvaboi for everyone.. Yes he is Neil my bestfriend online, He is Nelson Lopez Ungson, 23, chickboy (hahaha lagot ako neto) , a very sweet and thoughtful person, and a good songer too.. He was once special to me (ehem..). But Im glad. That we can remain to be close friends. With Neil, Ive seen a perfect mirror of myself. More than 3thousand players in one server and you met someone thats gonna be an important part of your life.. Isn't that amazing? Do they call that fate? or destiny? Aw.. diba i never believed in destiny? diba i abhor fate? well.. cguro when i met him online before, its just a preparation for me to realize something.. i met him years back, but too bad because my realization came in about 4 months late..

smile for me ... i like it when i laugh, because he smiles, the suplado smiles . finally..

He scares me.. Really he had the most suplado voice I've known, minsan nga i dunno where the Luvaboi is diko mafeel, but.. he has his ways to make up for the distance.. He was sweet, pero pangalawa lang sakin.. hindi nyako kayang talunin.. nyahahaha.. I courted him I did not allow him to court me.. because i want to be special i want him to remember me as the only girl who courted him nyahaha may sira na yata ako nun.. Im so childlike that i always wanted to be remembered.. but my ways are effortless naman, ganun yata talaga ko palibhasa iniwan ako ng dati kong BF at nalink sa kung kani kninong asawa ng may asawa, ina ng mga dalagang ina at Premiere Girls ng opisina.. ganun cguro tlga naguumapaw ang lambing ng isang tao kung nasupress ng mahabng panahon, hindi mailabas ng mahabang panahon..
But.. we know its gonna be against all odds, kaya eto kahit naluluha na naman ako tumatawa prin ako, kasi parang may mali.. ah cguro tama .. msakit lang talaga.. Neil thought me how to be strong. Need i say na he was my salvation, he took me out of a broken heart that ive been yearning for a long time.. And he gave me another one (nyahahahaha, lol, its hurt u know).
Kidding aside, Im Happy that he loved me. I have no regrets meeting him and knowing him..Ooops, Im not one of the Girls.. I dont want to be included in the list.. Im Just simply his Baby, and he my Hubbey..
