A Soulful Relationship
by Rev. Ronald McFadden
If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it.
An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involve and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs.Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.
Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together.
Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship?
Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.
Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasti ng relationship!
Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.
What keeps a relationship strong? Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor,sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note). Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice email. Sharing common goals and interests.Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interests. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don't try to control one another. Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless. Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer.
If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion. The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you put the I.
I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed I will never be anything 'til I break away from me... And I will break away... I'll find myself today -''Somewhere I belong'', Linkin Park (Meteora)

nice to see you again bloggie!:)
you know what? today may seem just an ordinary day for the rest of the world but for me, today is the inSAMEly outrageous moment of my life, for real!!!
many of my friends since highschool years knew me for this addiction.
i don't give a damn to those who will think of this as a senseless conversation, any way this is my blog and you are just having the privilege of reading it for free! take it or leave it. all i want is full honesty of who i am right here right now!;D
to cut the story short, today i finally made my fantasies come to life!
i finally met the persons who inspired me to be myself and to take the challege to undergo productive changes in my life..haha! dang, clint and bob moffatt! from the moffatt brothers then just the moffatts turned to hidell and now SAME SAME! (well, honestly the last name seems so ordinary and so mainstream..?!?)
my friend christine ignited the flame of hope to see them in flesh today!haha!
i am so outdated that i haven't even heard the news that they are here again in the philippines!!! oh my goodness! when tin informed me that by 4pm they will perform at SM north edsa mall, i have no doubts that this is my last chance to take a step in seeing them or else succumb to self-reproach of not having the courage to make a move for nth time!!!
thank God for giving me a blessing called boyfriend named joseph who accompanied me through fulfillment of this unfinished business!heehee!:D
after taking our lunch, without enough sleep, i rushed him to go with me to SM north edsa...rain poured while we rode the bus, the rusty old bus with rain drops that kept on falling on our heads!grrr!that's why i hate rainy days...damn!!! not to mention traffic jams that gave the feel of excitement on ever slow stop overs! i cannot miss this event will yah pleeaasse let us pass?!?! as much as i would like to take a snooze my eyes are wide awake to see every landmark to give me a piece of mind that we can make it in time for the show...
of course this story won't be a happy ending if we were late right? duh we made it in time to buy cds and posters and go wait until the front acts perform thier jobs before the main act shows what they've got....
i really missed that "rush of blood in your head" moment that you don't care what they say and think about you crazy little holler girls who haven't outgrown childhood infatuation as they used to say...hehehe...but something still doesn't fit, it seems incomplete?...
finally the cd signing is next and i can't wait to see them upclose!*sigh*
while i'm in line i admit i'm out of focus for a short time on what to feel, think, and even the things i planned to say and do because its like, this is it beck! what up?! its now or never!!!
i tried to take photos of them with my low tech camera phone at least and oh by the way, i hate that guy who was supposed to assist us who crumpled the cover of my cd?!careless freak!iron your face and brain instead! (that's the problem of those who do not know how to take care of the things that are not theirs!hmp!) ...as i stepped on the stage, i reached out for my cd for clint and bob to sign in, there in a jiffy it passed by just like that! damn! can we rewind that scene?!........
clint signed the cover of the cd, i said "congratulations", clint starred at me like what now?! i starred back with a smile and focused on his round eyes, then the crew commanded me to move on, next me looking to bob while he signs my cd, bob looked up with a smile and reached out his hand and i took it and he squeezed mine, i felt his broad fingers touched mine (kinda rough, i believe due to drum playing which is so cool!remember that's one of my frustrations in life..) then end of story, goodbye, till next time!
so that was it?!
maybe i just expected too much of what just might have happened or maybe everything is too plain and ordinary that hey is this what i used to read from other moffatian in a mag about their experienced with the boys and now i can say "definitely i can relate first hand"?
whatever it may be, i realized that within that 6 years of eagerly wishing to be with them, my preferences has been changed as well. the momentum, the expectations, the music that is keeping me alive is continuously changing, well a proof that change is the only constant in this world. even with the fact that i will and always like them whatever path they take in this corporate world, (because they are and have been my inspirations) we are all just ordinary persons who happend to have different priorities, roles or missions in this life. yes we must exceed to what is expected of us to please others and to say that we succeed.at the end of the day, at the end of it all, we are all SAME SAME!:)

oh my goodness!!!
its been a long time since i last touched the options to go to this blog!?!
finally!..keep those avail moments coming!!! i need to create a novel here please!hehe..
where the hell was i??!!??
here i am again, playing with those memories again.. (yuck!sentimental garbage!)
i just have so much to tell but i don't know where to start?! i'm really getting old to remember every single thing that had happenned..
i'll just brief you with the good ones..
my family and joseph.
God is really good for giving me all these blessings!i wholeheartedly can say that never a day i regret meeting "moi".though most of the time we argue on matters that for some people think are too lame to worry about, i'm thankful for all the understanding he has shown me.i am immature, i am stubborn, i do what i want and pretend to be good at all times but "moi" did not ever leave me like what he did promise over and over again in the very beginning.in connection with my family, i'm also grateful for the good relationship of "moi" and my family. this is my first serious relationship with an opposite gender and he is actually the first guy i ever introduced at home to my relatives!
God is really good for making things work for the good of everbody! :)
contentment, i really like that word.
and i'm glad to say in general, i feel that way now! i'm
happy and satisfied! :)
in terms of work, nothing has changed i'm still in the same rut...
what's new?
most of my friends are also in the same field and i'm happy because we can talk about almost the same scenarios now, irate customers, wacky, cool and friendly customers, mostly weird calls we receive every single day. but the sad thing is we hardly see each other any more (like i used to do to them.. but still i tried to go even without sleep right?).of course, we'll find time, these days i really need some bonding sessions out there... (i can smell a colorless, neutral-tasting spirit distilled from grain,hmmm).
what else did i miss?...
maybe i'm just too sleepy and hungry to think and grasp what my brain is telling me now and the fact that my fingers are already swollen and tired from these words i have written, i better take a break...
don't worry i'll continue when i get the chance!haha! :D
at least i want to applaud you for reaching this part!take care everybody and Godspeed! :)

Perfect by ALANIS MORISSETTE
Sometimes is never quite enough If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everthing I do for you The least you can do is keep quiet Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud
I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then maybe so am I Compared to him compared to her I'm doing this for you're own damn good You'll make up for what I bled What's the problem...why are you crying
Be a good boy Push a little farther now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect...

i can't believe it!
i'm here at the office for the first time wasting my time doing basically nothing that has to do with my work, like blog posting!hehehe!:)
its because last june 30th, sadly our account was discontinued.. well its something that corporations have to deal with and we poor employees just have nothing else to do but obey and wait for the next account that will be given to us...
its a good thing that i am already a regular employee :)
i'm just in the waiting list and for now floating, loitering, watching tv in the pantry, chatting with friends, browsing thru the internet, texting, what else that can be done? oh, later i'll just sleep in the quiet room!:p
this situation i am going thru now in a way disheartens me, its just because that account was my first job!..i can't believe i've been with the program for a year and two months!:) in spite of the hardships i've encountered with it, the frustrations and irritating, and exciting moments i experienced with all those customers!:) --mishu guys!:*

i don't know why but every time its full moon whatever situation i'm in i feel happy, great!:)
there is something with the moon that makes me feel free, it uplifts my spirits in times when i'm down...
like tonight, it shines so bright, though its kinda spooky, it is so mysterious that i won't get tired starring at it the whole night...
i need that kind of space immediately.
i feel sick inside though physically i'm fine, guess its just one my weird days...
maybe that's all for now just wanted to update this forgotten spot...
thanks for all the cares and conversations i had with you :)
you know who you are :)
have a swell day everyone!:)

Sleeps With Butterflies
-Tori Amos-
Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy
Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

Hallelujah
-Bamboo
I.anong balita sa radyo o tv, ganun parin, kumakapa sa dilim
minsa'y naisip kong umalis nalang dito
lumutang na ang lahat, lumipad, lumayo
II.bato bato sa langit, tamaan wag
magalit alam naman naten kung sino ang
tuso sa bawat sumpang umiiyak, singil ko ay piso.
sa bawat lumuluhang dukha, alay ko'y dugo.
*may kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan. hangat ako'y humihinga may pag-asa pa.
CHORUS:
hoo.. hallelu hallelujah. sinong sawa, sinong galit,sumigaw ngayong gabi,hallelu hallelujah
(RAP)
blinded by the light can't barely see
the faces in front of me,
yes we know how to begin where the scar is from within.
i'm ashamed of what i've become in the mirror,
the face of my one true enemy.
hallelujah it's a new day, let's take control.
if I have to take this message door to door,
to save myself and every soul.
with permission i'll take this for personal mission
save me from the fire, save me
from the fire, save me from the fire.
III.ngayong gabi ako ang sundalo mo,
habang ika'y tulog ako'y gising naka bantay sayo
kasi mahal kita, tignan mo,
pag-ibig ko sayo lamang.
(repeat * and chorus)
sinong sawa, sinong galit, sumigaw ngayong gabi,
hallelu hallelujah
hoo.. hallelu hallelujah <2x>

may second of two thousand and five, our poor whitey passed away. he was our dog for a long time at my grandmother's house in canlubang. this morning my lola called in to give the news but when my papa went there whitey officially died at around 1pm. actually he was already brownish not because he hadn't taken a bath for years but that was his fur's color, well we named him whitey because when he was a pup he was indeed in color white with brown colored feet that seems like his boots..hehe..well this may sound boring may be because you didn't even meet that dog and you can't relate to all the things i've experienced with that dog. somehow he was my confidante during my stay there in canlubang. i share stories with him i play with him when my brothers or cousins are not around and eventhough sometimes i torture or let's say plays trick on him that good 'ol dog was so patient and obedient to all i say, he knows who his "amo" is..hehehe..that's what i like about him, he was always there to listen to my senseless ideas or thoughts, a best friend indeed.:') now i miss that doggie..
i suddenly remembered my first ever and favorite dog "tisoy". he was like doggie but more accommodating and more intelligent, they say "turuan yan noh?" but no, we just talk to him like he was part of the family well yes he was,may be that's why he can easily grasps what we want him to do. maybe i was already 5 yrs old then when we had him as a puppie and he lived until i was around 5th grade or 6th..i can't remember..what i just remember are the moments spent with him,he was my buddy!:) the common thing between whitey and tisoy is their being "seloso" to other puppies they get sick whenever there is a new pup and if ever that pup didn't survive and dies they get well again..hehe..weirdos..:p
well at least they're in doggie heaven now..hope me too.. (well not in doggie heaven but with the real heaven for people...how will you know if you are already there and if it is the real thing? what do you think will it look like?)
today i caught a glimpse of zoolander in HBO again and i love this song from that movie hope you will like it too even just reading thru the lyrics..haay that's all for today..eventhough my day hasn't started yet...dang..my shift starts at 1am..well just have a swell day!:)
Title: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Artist: Rufus Wainwright
The road is long with many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where Who knows where, who know where But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go, his welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear, we'll get there For I know, he would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness Of love for one another
It's a long, long road from which there is no return While we're on our way to there, why not share And the load doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother He ain't heavy He's my brother He ain't heavy He's my brother

So on we go, his welfare is of my concern No burden is he to bear, we'll get there For I know, he would not encumber me He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness Of love for one another
It's a long, long road from which there is no return While we're on our way to there, why not share And the load doesn't weigh me down at all He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He's my brother He ain't heavy He's my brother He ain't heavy He's my brother

Neon
by Sponge Cola
album: Palabas
your smile is gently freezing
snow throws it away
you're the laughter in my silence
the crow that keeps me awake
green towel less soft spoken
thoughts you never knew
the lies and empty promises
i gave them all to you
how does it feel?
how is it that i can't feel?
coz i, i need to know
coz i, i know i can never be enough
to replace your whatever
and i, i think it's shiny and blue
like a dance that see through
coz i, i know i can never be enough
to replace your whatever
now everything is silent,
everything is still without you near
everything about you
the world was something new
and i was there at the open
well just to be with you
but every time i see the shelter
every time i walk away
you're the laughter in my silence
the cold that feels my day
how does it feel?
How is it that i can't feel?
coz i, i need to know
coz i, i know I can never be enough
to replace your whatever
and i, i think it's shiny and blue
like a dance that see through
coz i, i know i can never be enough
to replace your whatever
now everything is silent,
and everything is still without you near
and every time i see you passing by
i just stand here waiting for you
and i will talk to myself
what a lazy sunday afternoon
and i'll still say that prayer for you
i'll be your everything, count on me
i'll try to be so perfect you'll see
but nothing can compare to you
whatever lies out there
there's no one here...
there's no one here...

my squishie winkie called up and invited me to join her to go to the concert because she got free tickets from her boss.:) how sweet! thanks!:) it was out of my to-do list already but guess what!hehe!:) thanks again squishie!:') it was very much appreciated..hihihi!:)
..she was cool and "honestly you promised me i never gonna saw you fake it,no,no,no..":) she did not lip sync it was real talent exposed to everyone. she has good voice (but once a while you could identify if she's exhausted or not), fine piano lessons with her and the best part and the one i truly envied about her is the way she slam the drums when simple plan did their version of "song 2" by blur.:) coolness!:)
..i guess that's about my little hangover with the bonez tour with avril and simple plan. "ang galing ninyo" rin...hehehe..'till next time!:)

Heaven's New Policy
It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admittance policy. The new law was that, in order to get into Heaven, you had to have a really bad day when you died. The policy would go into effect at noon the next day. The next day at 12:01, the first person came to the gates of Heaven. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, promptly said to the man, "Before I let you in, I need you to tell me how your day was going when you died."
"No problem," the man said. "I came home to my 25th floor apartment on my lunch hour and caught my wife half naked. She appeared to be having an affair, but her lover was nowhere in sight. I immediately began searching for him. My wife was yelling at me as I searched the entire apartment. Just as I was about to give up, I happened to glance out onto the balcony and noticed that there was a man hanging off the edge by his fingertips! The nerve of that guy! Well, I ran out onto the balcony and stomped on his fingers until he fell to the ground. But wouldn't you know it, he landed in some trees and bushes that broke his fall and he didn't die. This pissed me off even more. In a rage, I went back inside to get the first thing I could get my hands on to throw at him. Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of was the refrigerator. I unplugged it, pushed it out onto the balcony, and tipped it over the side. It plummeted 25 stories and crushed him! The excitement of the moment was so great that I had a heart attack and died almost instantly."
The Angel sat back and thought a moment. Technically, the guy did have a bad day. It was a crime of passion. So,the Angel announced, "Ok, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and let him in.
A few seconds later the next guy came up. The Angel said, "Before I can let you in, I need to hear about what your day was like when you died."
"No problem," said the second man. "But you're not going to believe this. I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. Having been under a lot of pressure I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I guess I got a little carried away, slipped, and accidentally fell over the side! Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But all of a sudden this crazy man comes running out of his apartment, started cussing, and stomps on my fingers. Well, of course I fell. I hit some trees and bushes at the bottom which broke my fall so I didn't die right away. As I'm laying there face up on the ground, unable to move, and in excruciating pain, I see this guy push his refrigerator, of all things, off the balcony. It falls the 25 floors and lands on top of me, killing me instantly."
The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as the man finishes his story. "I could get used to this new policy," he thinks to himself. "Very well," the Angel announces. "Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven," and he lets the man enter.
A few seconds later, a third man comes up to the gate. The angel says," Please tell me how you died." The third man says,"Ok, picture this. I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator...."

KAPAG NAWALA KA

Intro: Bb - C - D I. - D
Kapag nawala ka giliw

Labis na malulumbay
Di ko na nanaisin pa
Na ako ay mabuhay

Paano ang yakap

hiyee!:) i'm back...i am somehow relieved but as you can see i still feel blue (just notice the color of the font!hehe)... any way, i accept the fact that everything happens for a reason and i know that there are just some things that i have to give importance that this but i am just also human to feel sadness, disappointments. well that's just about it let's close the book about that and move on!:)
..and it is that time of year again for us christians/catholics to remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ for our own sake...but for me, this year like what had happened during christmas and new year...i won't be able to apply the usual rituals i do during holy week..it really sucks because this is the time of the year that at least we have to reflect and meditate on the things we've done and have to do specially in regards to our spiritual needs...well, this is how my parents and relatives raised me, i am not just used to still going to work during the holy week specially up to good friday till black saturday morning..well, i believe change is the only permanent in this world but is it really have to be like this in the professional world?....
i guess eventhough these things surrounds me i just have to continue living my faith and make it grow only for His great glory...(God, i'm sorry..haven't been good lately..as always..)

hiyee blog..its been so long since i last poured out my heartaches and joys on you..well i guess this is the perfect time to do it..but i won't be so much into detal now..need to do a lot of things...maybe some parts will just be continued during my lunch break..:)
you know that smiley doesn't fit here in my blog for this situation i will be sharing with you...first of all, let's just start with something to smile about..let's reminisce :) so that not all will be a bore to all of you who will be reading this...here goes...
last feb.19?..hehe, i'm not that sure any more with the date,but we had our 1st team building at puerto galera, oriental mindoro.it was fun,memorable,fine! romantic if you're with your significant other..unfortunate for me..hehe..adventurous when i first experience how to snorkle..wow,God!thanks for these wonderful creations of yours..corals,school of fishes,the sunrise and the sunset,sand,waves,moonlight..hehe..great feeling!:) ..ok,that's it...:p
next in line are the disappointments i've experienced. well, after this conversation i know i will be fine..:)
...when one of my teammates was let say in a good manner, asked to leave the premises permanently..that's it! we are not that close but in a way he showed kindness to me..when i admit sometimes i am a little bit cranky to him :p well any way,there are lots of ways to communicate and keep in touch with each other still, right?!:)
and i guess the ultimate frustration i have now (whatta line!) is the sudden cancellation of my just-about-to-start, hopefully, drum lessons with stonefree's drummer..tada!..relly mangubat..:'( ..damn, i am really sorry relly..(if u could only read this)..excitement was all over my body when you replied to my email thru a text message..i know you felt how much interested i am to the sessions you will be conducting, indeed i looked forward to it ... it doesn't matter how far your location is,even sunday is one of my rest day,i believe it would be a blast spending it with you learning the thing i always dreamed of doing and knowing..it doesn't matter if i am a girl so what?! the hell with that reason in this age and time...i understand that it could take some parts of my time into spending instead with my family but man, that's not forever just 14 sessions will do...it doesn't matter if i am not going to have my own band..what matter is the knowledge,fun and aquaintance with my other "classmates" who will be joining the sessions..just jamming with each other learning together as you said over the phone...
but i guess this is not the right time for me to experience this...with all these people and situation that hinders me to do it...well, i just want to make it happen because this kind of chances comes only once, you might open lessons like this in the future but may be the fun and excitement won't be the same as the one before it,you know what i meant right...i just want to grab this opportunity right now that its in front of me..but i guess i can not any more now we've settled it, i apologized and thank you for your patience :)
nice knowing you to...:) (oops, i'll continue it later...)

Five Candles (You Were There) :: JARS OF CLAY
A promise or a dare I would jump if I knew you'd catch me Staring over the edge I can't tell if you'll be here for me I close my eyes and make a wish Turn out the lights and take a breath Pray that when the wick is burned You would say that it's all about love [Chorus:] You were there when I needed you You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open You were there when I needed you You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open You were never here I remember you said Love was more than your good intentions Empty boxes on the floor Things I never asked you for I pray that when the wick is burned You would say that it's all about love [Chorus] I can't see the promise of Excuses you fall upon I pray to God not holding on To things you've left undone [Chorus x 2] You were there when I You were there when I You were there when I needed you
