                <content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Nakakainis talaga itong month na to para sa akin.. Hay naku nakakapagod na! Sa buong linggo ng buwan na ito walang ibang ginawa ang aking pakner kundi gumimick kasama ang officemates o di kaya barkada.. Minsan sinabi ko sa sarili ko kailan kaya sya magbabago kapag patay na ako o kapag wala na akong trabaho? Anyway i really try my best para hindi ako magalit sa kanya o hindi kami magtalo kaso hindi ko talaga mapigilan ang sarili ko na magalit.&nbsp; Kapag ako ay naiinis mas gugustuhin ko na wag mo akong kausapin at kapag kinausap mo ako ang sasabihin ko sa yo &quot;Huwag mo akong kakausapin kung ayaw mong magsermon ako sa yo&quot; pero sadya atang may taong makulit kaya hayun nagsesermon tuloy ako pero after kong mailabas ang galit ko sa kanya syempre kalmado na naman ako inshort ok na ulit kami.&nbsp; Tapos ang nakakainis pa don mag propromise sya na hindi nya na uulitin eto na naman ang friday at saturday gimmick ulit sya.. kaya inis na ins na ako.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One time sinubukan kong pumunta sa birthday ng friend ko at kinabukasan na ako umuwi i felt so bad kasi sabi sa akin ng nanay ng pakner ko hindi makatulog ang baby ko kasi hinahanap ako (ang bad ko noh) Bakit kaya ganon yung mga boys/guys walang kunsyensya kapag gumigumick? Anyway siguro talagang ganon ang mga boys/guys gusto nila talagang gumimick.&nbsp; Gusto ko mang habaan ang pisi ko hindi ko talaga kaya.&nbsp; Sometimes i wish bawasan na yung love ko&nbsp;sa kanya para hindi na ako magalit o mag-alala everytime na gumigimick sya pero kapag iniisip ko ang baby ko nandon na yung sinasabi ko sa sarili ko kailangan kong maging matatag para sa kanya.&nbsp; Whatever happens basta kasama ako baby ko kakayanin ko.&nbsp;The pain in my heart is still here but as long as i see my son smiling at me happy na rin ako. </p>

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><font size="1"><p align="left">1. That sometimes it doesn't really matter how a guylooks, it's the vibes that matters.</p><p align="left">2. That most of the time, girls can't remember how aguy really looks like,just maybe his voice...or his eyes...or his smile.</p><p align="left">3. That if you can make a girl laugh, you are &quot;IN&quot;.Girls would rather spend&nbsp;their time laughing and talking to an ugly guy than&nbsp;bear with a&nbsp;non-interesting, pea-brained, humorless Baldwin. - oonga!</p><p align="left">4. That guys and girls can be just FRIENDS and not&nbsp;necessarily MORE than&nbsp;that. Sometimes guys are&nbsp;perceived only as friends and unwelcome lovers.</p><p align="left">5. That it's not entirely easy for girls to reject&nbsp;guys.</p><p align="left">6. And that it's not the guy's fault when he's&nbsp;rejected.</p><p align="left">7. That when a when a girl says &quot;NO&quot;; by golly, she&nbsp;MEANS it!</p><p align="left">8. That girls don't really appreciate being called&nbsp;&quot;babe&quot; or &quot;chio bu&quot; or&nbsp;&quot;chickababes&quot; or &quot;chicks&quot; in their presence.</p><p align="left">9. That it's not the girl's fault if she's not&nbsp;automatically perfect -&nbsp;meaning, so what if she's horizontally- challenged? READ: Fat!</p><p align="left">10. That it's a fact of life that guys mature three&nbsp;years behind girls (hey,&nbsp;girls DO mature faster than guys do!)</p><p align="left">11. That most of the time (actually ALL the time),&nbsp;girls appreciate it when&nbsp;guys act like gentlemen - like the&nbsp;opening-of-the-car-doors kind of thing.-TRUE</p><p align="left">12. That certain girls are acutely aware when guys&nbsp;are teasing each other&nbsp;about certain girls (especially when those 'certain&nbsp;girls' are right there).</p><p align="left">13. That when guys act like gays (as in joke&nbsp;around), girls get chills down&nbsp;their spines even if it's all fake.</p><p align="left">14. That the smell of sweat and Polo Sport isn't&nbsp;exactly considered &quot;SEXY&quot;.</p><p align="left">15. That it's really impolite to stare at girls no&nbsp;matter how sexy or skinny&nbsp;the girl is (hey, you don't see girls openly staring&nbsp;at guys! There is such&nbsp;a word as SUBTLE!)</p><p align="left">16. That it doesn't take 2 minutes for a girl to&nbsp;look beautiful - it takes a&nbsp;much longer period of time. (Admit it, it's worth&nbsp;the wait?)</p><p align="left">17. That when girls act really bitchy, it's just one&nbsp;of those days...like a&nbsp;specific period of time in a month.</p><p align="left">18. That when girls don't say anything when they're&nbsp;with guys, it doesn't&nbsp;mean that they don't know anything...or don't&nbsp;LISTEN.</p><p align="left">19. That when guys talk, girls listen; and when&nbsp;girls talk, they expect the&nbsp;same amount of interest and attention.</p><p align="left">20. That is a guy can turn off their emotions like&nbsp;faucets, well...girls&nbsp;CAN'T!</p><p align="left">21. That when guys say they'll call, they'd better!</p><p align="left">22. That tardiness doesn't exactly make a good&nbsp;impression on girls.</p><p align="left">23. That it's impossible for girls to go to the&nbsp;ladies' room alone; they&nbsp;have to go in little groups. (Now, don't ask&nbsp;why...they just have to.)</p><p align="left">24. That smoking is tolerable, but continuous smoke&nbsp;being blown in your face&nbsp;isn't.</p><p align="left">25. That they dig their own graves when they make&nbsp;insensitive remarks about&nbsp;girls.</p><p align="left">26. That when guys act like complete 'assholes',&nbsp;girls almost always end up&nbsp;forgiving them (it's what you call 'compassion') But&nbsp;forgiveness isn't easy&nbsp;you know, you have to go through that &quot;down on&nbsp;bended knees&quot; things.</p><p align="left">27. That maybe it's about time guys write something&nbsp;about the things they&nbsp;wish gals knew...</p><p align="left">A FEW TIPS:</p><p align="left">1. It doesn't matter how expensive a present you get&nbsp;her, if she loves you,&nbsp;anything you give will be precious.</p><p align="left">2. Women only go astray when they aren't getting enough of what they need&nbsp;from the fella back home, on the other hand, men&nbsp;will go astray anyway.</p><p align="left">3. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A 5-minute&nbsp;call to someone who&nbsp;loves you is all it takes to brighten up her day.(yihee! kahit isang txt msglang)</p><p align="left">4. When a gal tells you that she needs to talk to&nbsp;you, it isn't always bad&nbsp;news. Women just need to talk, it's an escape&nbsp;mechanism. When she STOPS&nbsp;talking to you start worrying. *Grin*</p><p align="left">5. When you say you'll call, the girl expects you to&nbsp;call. When a gal says&nbsp;she'll call, she will. - oops!</p><p align="left">6. Women need verbal assurance more than guys do.</p><p align="left">7. A secure woman would rather give you the benefit&nbsp;of the doubt. An&nbsp;insecure woman will make mountains&nbsp;out of molehills.</p><p align="left">8. If a gal suddenly starts to ignore you, think&nbsp;over you actions the last&nbsp;24 hours for the answer.</p></font>

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><font size="2">Its been a long time since i post in my blog.&nbsp; Same old reason &quot;im busy&quot; like some bloggers do.&nbsp; Anyways, i want to share something for all of you... hope you will like this one. It's a nice thoughts i received from my friend &quot;forward message&quot; </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Take The Time to Enjoy Each Day...... </font></p><p><font size="2">Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. </font></p><p><font size="2">I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. </font></p><p><font size="2">From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? </font></p><p><font size="2">Does the word &quot;refrigeration&quot; mean nothing to you? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched Jeopardy! on television? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, &quot;How about going to lunch in a half hour?&quot; She would gasp and stammer, &quot;I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain.&quot; And my personal favorite: &quot;It's Monday.&quot; </font></p><p><font size="2">She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect: </font></p><p><font size="2">We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevie toilet-trained. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">We'll entertain-when we replace the living-room carpet. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. </font></p><p><font size="2">One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of &quot;I'm going to,&quot; &quot;I plan on&quot; and &quot;Someday, when things are settled down a bit.&quot; </font></p><p><font size="2">When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. </font></p><p><font size="2">Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. </font></p><p><font size="2">My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my hips with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. </font></p><p><font size="2">The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. </font></p><p><font size="2">Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? </font></p><p><font size="2">Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this to you. </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round Or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day on the fly? </font></p><p><font size="2">When you ask &quot;How are you?&quot; Do you hear the reply? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">When the day is done, Do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow And in your haste, not see his sorrow? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say &quot;Hi&quot;? </font></p><p align="left"><font size="2">You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there. </font></p><p><font size="2">When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. </font></p><p><font size="2">Hear the music before the song is over. </font></p>

PATAY NA.&quot; I received this text message from a friend at 10:30 p.m. on April 28 and slumped into numb shock. The airconditioning in the fast food chain that humid night sunk into a sickening chill. Isaias was gone, the dissident exile from Mindoro who tirelessly trekked around in his cap, rubber slippers, and hunched, lean frame. Isaias, who risked sojourns throughout numerous sites of struggle, armed only with a guitar, the strongest of principles, and the humblest of words. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma">BY LISA CARI&Ntilde;O ITO </span><em><span style="font-family: Tahoma">Bulatlat.com</span></em></font></p>

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Tahoma"><font size="2">It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.<br />Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.<br />Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.<br />Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.</font></span></p>

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p><font size="2" /><font size="2"><p align="left">There are times when the one thing you want is the one thing you never gets. Why do we have to SUFFER? Why do we have to CRY when someone bids us goodbye? Why do we beginning have an END? WHY DO WE HAVE TO MEET ONLY TO SAY GOODBYE IN THE END???</p><p align="left">In a relationship one of the hardest things to do is SAYING GOODBYE and LETTING GO. It is hard to breaking crystal, because you&rsquo;ll never know when you will be able to PICK UP the pieces again. More often than not they go feel not the pain of parting. It is they who stays behind that suffer because they are left with memories of a love that wasn&rsquo;t meant to be.</p><p align="left">SOMETIMES we make WRONG DECISION to choose WHO is MR. RIGHT?. Because sometimes OUR FEELINGS is WRONG, RIGHT?. &quot;Kung SINO pa yung TUNAY nagmamahal at nagmamalasakit sayo yun pa ang nababaliwala&quot;. Kapag nasaktan kana, niloko, pinaglaruan at ginamit saka mo mare - realized yung taong binaliwala at pinagtabuyan mo. </p><p align="left">You dumped like a GARBAGE. We must admit that almost SUITOR&rsquo;S are GREAT PRETENDER, RIGHT? THINK? They pretend to be someone, to be perfect for you and to be the best in your eyes. Do you experience that? They pretend just to empress you then after HE gets your SWEET &quot;YES&quot; or &quot;OO&quot; wala lalabas na ang TUNAY na KULAY. TAMA? Ang pagsisisi laging nasa HULI. If you really LOVE someone don&rsquo;t pretend, BE TRUE TO YOUR SELF. And if you are really looking for a MR. RIGHT, you must THINK for how many times before you decide and make final decision. DON&rsquo;T GO for LOOKS, it can DECEIVE and don&rsquo;t GO for WEALTH even that FADES AWAY. Go for someone who makes you COMPLETE. Sometimes we are &quot;MANHID&quot; kung sino pa yung alam natin nagmamalasakit at magmamahal sa atin ng tapat at wagas yun pa ang ating binabaliwala, mas pipiliin natin yung di pala karapat &ndash; dapat mahalin. </p><p align="left">And one thing I want to clear and remind you. COURTSHIP, don&rsquo;t depend on how long (TAGAL) or short (BILIIS) HE COURTED YOU. THINK and FEEL? Who is really TRUE TO HIS SELF and TRUE to his INTENTION to love you truly? BE WISE TO CHOOSE.</p><p align="left">Remember this: </p><p align="left">IS YOUR LOSS NOT THE GUY. At the beginning and at the end of a relationship we are embarrassed to find ourselves alone. Unfair as it may seem but that&rsquo;s the way love goes. That&rsquo;s the drama, the bitter sweet and risk of falling in love. After all nothing is constant but change. Everything will eventually come to its end without us knowing when, without us knowing how, without us knowing why. And we must forget not because we want to but because we want to because we have too. Kapag WALA na yung taong MAGMAMAHAL sayo ng TAPAT, TUNAY at WAGAS saka mo hahanapin HULI NA kasi nagpaka &ndash; &quot;TANGA KA&quot;. </p><p align="left">Remember this: </p><p align="left">TRUE PERSON and TRUE LOVE is very very very very very very very veryn &hellip;DIFFICULT TO FIND and HAVE in our LIFE. If you want TO BE A GREAT FOOL for the REST of your LIFE and LOVE LIFE, SO BE IT. ENJOY! Is your GREAT LOSS, gusto mo ba yung AFTER KA MAGAMIT you dumped like a GARBAGE TOO like what you&rsquo;ve done to the RIGHT PERSON who COURTED YOU and TRUE TO YOU. Sometimes we have to part because of circumstances beyond our control. We have to suffer if it would mean happiness for others. We have to CRY temporarily and let go of the pains. Every beginning has its end like every dawn has dusk. It something we can&rsquo;t control, it&rsquo;s just something we have to live up. There are questions left unanswered, words left unsaid, letters left unread, poems left undone, songs left unsung, love left unexpressed and promise left unfulfilled. It seems that everywhere you go, everything you do, every song you hear, every turn of your head, every move of your body, every beat of your heart, every blink of your eye and every breath you take always reminds you of a TRUE PERSON and TRUE LOVE, reminds you that why I am such a great fool &quot;TANGA&quot;. Why I make a wrong decision to choose who is MR. RIGHT.</p><p align="left">It&rsquo;s OVER&hellip; now I am GONE&hellip; but life has to go on. GOODBYE doesn&rsquo;t always mean FOREVER. There will always be a place and time where questions will be answered, words will be spoken, letters will be read, poems will be recited at night, songs will be sung in harmony and love will be expressed in solitude and promises will be fulfilled. </p><p align="left">SOMEDAY&hellip; SOMEWHERE&hellip; SOMEHOW&hellip; I am TRUE TO MY SELF. I don&rsquo;t need to PRETEND to EMPRESS YOU. WHY SHOULD I? Because when I do that I need to keep that standard for the REST OF MY LIFE. I don&rsquo;t need to invent a whole new just to get your attention to notice me. I want the GIRL LIKE and ACEPT ME, LOVE ME who really I am. I don&rsquo;t want to LIE for the REST OF MY LIFE.</p><p align="left">So I&rsquo;m very FINE just the way I AM and I&rsquo;m fine being TRUE TO MY SELF. Now, YOU dumped like a GARBAGE TOO. MASAKIT BA? Now, Do you experienced to be HURT. MASAKIT BA? Now, YOU FOOLED by you partner, your lover. MASAKIT BA? Di ka sana ginawang PANG PORMA sa mga tao, sa mga friends nya at kung kanikanino. MASAKIT DI BA? Only you can decide what you want. If you&rsquo;re happy GUY&rsquo;S fooling you. If you&rsquo;re happy with the life you&rsquo;re leading, so be it. ENJOY! YOU WOULDN&rsquo;T WANT TO BE A &quot;FOOL&quot; for your WHOLE LIFE, WOULD YOU??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p></font><p>&nbsp;</p>
