Prayer for a Happy Death by Former President Cory Aquino

Prayer for a Happy Death

Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.
So, remind me each day,
most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore only You.
When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know
how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray
for each other.
Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.
Our Father in heaven,
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love, Amen.

80/20 Rule Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'

(from an e-mail)


VERY INSPIRING

80/20 Rule

Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?'


In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or women) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.


But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT.
But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and loosing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.


Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not' .

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.

Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature.

You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha . . ..'

Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil, you may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.

Don't throw away the 80% that you already have!

That's not all. Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other. The storms you have weathered together. The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple. The many adjustments you have made to love the other. The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.

But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage.





Happiness keeps you Sweet,



Trials keeps you Strong,



Sorrow keeps you Human,

Failure keeps you Humble



And



Success keeps you glowing…



But only Faith and Attitude keeps you going....

To donate blood was what I really wanted to do when I was in college - not just because of the very cute blood droplet doll and the lollies that there were giving away! :P But because I wanted to help. Unfortunately, I was underweight :(

14th of June is the World Blood Donor Day, donating blood is really more than donating cash or kind because nothing else could really replace it. So go out, look for blood banks and let's do it. (Once again, I'm gonna try - I'm now eating lots and lotsa food as a preparation you know ) :D

Let's help save lives! :)

"... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging."

got a message from God and here it is:



God wants her to know...
"... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging."

That's really it, isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish. Which one of these is the more difficult one for you, and how are you going to practice it in the next 24 hours?

now.. think.. think.. think!!!

"vampire-slayer"

lagi ko na lang napapanaginipan na para daw akong si buffy sa Buffy the Vampire Slayer, hindi ko alam kung bakit, baka siguro dahil gano'n ako nung unang panahon? :P anywayz, ganito raw ang nangyari, napadpad ako sa isang lugar na puro bampira, at dahil mortal na tao ako pinanggigigilan nila akong patayin para masipsip ang aking dugo. Pero may dalawa sakanilang nagmalasakit at sinabing hindi raw ako dapat patayin dahil ika nga nila, there's something different about me" wahehe.. pero takot na takot pa rin daw ako nun.. may isang pahinadorang babaeng bampira ang hindi naniwala at bigla na lang kinuha ang kanang kamay ko para kagatin ang daliri ko, pero muntik na siyang masuka at sabi pa niya, kakaiba ang dugo ko, pwede itong maging lason laban sakanila. sama ng tingin niya sakin na para bang gusto niya akong sabunutan. eh bakit ba naman kasi bigla bigla na lang siyang kumakagat ng daliri ng may daliri di ba? nanatili ako roon ng ilang araw, at isang umaga, pag gising ko na lang, wala na ang ibang mga kalahi nila, sabi ng isa, pinademolish na raw kasi ng may-ari yung mga bahay na nakatirik sa lupa niya, at pinatay ang lahat ng mga bampirang nanlaban. pero may iba pa raw na mga nakapagtago, makikita raw namin sa ilalim lang ng burol. pumunta kami, at nakita ko silang mga nagsasayawan pa, ganun daw sila pag malungkot (wow, labo!) sabi ko, bakit hindi kayo lumaban? dapat ipaglaban nila kung anong alam nila tama dahil kalayaan na nila ang pinag-uusapan dito (naging mala People Power na ang dating ng sitwasyon namin) sinabihan ko sila na rumesbak kami, at ako ang bahala sakanila. hala, at naging instant ninja/vampire slayer/tomb raide ang dating ko. nanalo kami sa laban dahil sa aking pamumuno, tuwang-tuwa sila sa akin ang para sakanila ako na ang naging tagapagligtas at lider nila.

ayon, tumunog na ang alarm clock ko..

"jeff"
