In the beginning, God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so man and woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Creme. And satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And man said "Yea," and woman said, "And another one with sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds.
And God created the healthful yogurt that woman might keep the figure that man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane, and combined them. And woman went from size 4 to size16.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand Island dressing and garlic toast on the side. And man and woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.
God then brought running shoes so that his children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so man would not have to toil changing the channels. And man and woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and gained pounds.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into strips and chips and deep-fried them. And man gained pounds.
God then created lean beef so that man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger, then said, "You want fries with that?" and man replied, "Yea! And super size 'em." And Satan said "It is good," and man went into cardiac arrest."
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. And so Satan created Managed Health Care.

Something To Inspire Us
A ninety-one year old woman died after living a long dignified life. When she met God she asked him something that had long bothered her. If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly?
God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships and God. This confused the woman, so God began to explain.
When someone lies to you . . ..It teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.
When someone steals from you . . .It teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have, for you never know when you might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted because today is the only guarantee you have.
When someone inflicts an injury upon you . . ..It teaches you that the human state is a fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best as you can, it's the only thing you are sure to have here on earth.
When someone mocks you . . . It teaches you that no two people are alike.When you encounter people who are different from you, don't judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents of their heart.
When someone breaks your heart . . .It teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back.But don't turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together. Times ten.
When someone holds a grudge against you . . . It teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.
When a loved one is unfaithful to you . . .. It teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.
When someone cheats you . . . It teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.
When someone ridicules you . . . It teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.
Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom, the old woman became concerned that there were no lessons to be learned from Man's good deeds. God replied that Man's capacity to love is the greatest gift he has.
At the root of all kindness is love, and each act of love also teaches us a lesson.
The woman's curiosity deepening, God once again
began to explain.
When someone loves us . . .. It teaches us that love, kindness, charity,honesty, humility, forgiveness and acceptance can counteract all the evil in the world.
For every good deed, there is one less evil deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.
When you enter someone's life, whether by plan or,chance or coincidence,consider what your lesson will be . . . Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of reality?
When you die will your life have resulted in more loving or hurting? More comfort or pain? More joy or sadness? Each one of us has power over the balance of love in the world. Use it wisely.
Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in the right direction.
God Bless Us ....

Imaginary Chat With God
GOD : Hello, did you call me?
Me : Called you? No, who is this?
God : This is God. I heard your prayers so I thought I will chat.
Me : I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God : What are you busy at?
Me : Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. Its rush hour all the time.
God : Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time by giving you some clarity. In this net era I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me : Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me : Why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. Thats why you are not happy.
Me : But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me : But there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God : Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.
Me : If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God : Diamond can not be polished without friction. Gold can not be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. By turning their sufferings to sacrifices, their lives become better, not bitter.
Me : You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me : Why do we have to go through such tests? Why cant we be free from such problems?
God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me : Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we dont know where we are heading.
God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading.Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside,you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me : Sometimes, not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me : In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go.Always count your blessings, not what you are missing.
Me : What surprises you about people?
God : When they suffer, they ask why me?. When they prosper,they never ask, why me? Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me : Sometimes I ask who I am, why I am here. I cant get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me : How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me : One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me : Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start my life again with a new sense of inspiration.
God : Well, keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to resolve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
Me : Called you? No, who is this?
God : This is God. I heard your prayers so I thought I will chat.
Me : I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

Hanggang Dito Na Lang Ba?
Nakakatawa how one falls in love then falls out of it. Its funny rin how one would die looking for it, while one would just let it die. It's ridiculous how each and everyone live because of LOVE...
Well, here is story... In a dream. GOD told me that I could pick up any guy I like from His field. But I have to choose only one. Once na makapili na ako, I have to raise my hand as a signal that I finally found him, then go back to GOD for praise. But NO!!! May isa pang kondisyon, I could never turn back.
Once nalampasan ko, I should move on. So sabi ko, GOD surely won't give me rotten crops of guys. I have been a good daughter and I deserve to be with a good man. I was confident I'll get the best pick.*
So my journey began. As I went through the field, nakita ko ang iba't ibang klase ng guys. Some were tempting me to pick them up. And some were indeed tempting to pick up. Pero sabi ko, baka may mas guwapo, mas mabait, mas matalino, mas masipag, mas mahal ako sa dulo ng field na ito. So I let go. Once. Twice. Thrice. I believed fervently that in the end of the field is my prince, waiting for me with open arms. Then I saw a guy. He looked at me straight in the eye and blew a kiss. Our gazes met and I don't know why, pero there was something in him that I longed for. I felt as if something was drawing me to him. Pero di pwede. I have to make it in the end of
the field. Baka sabihin ni GOD, ata na duwag ako tsaka wala akong patience. Naisip ko if habang lumalayo ako, nakakakita ako ng ganitong klase ng guy, baka as I move further eh may mas hihigit pa sa kanya. Until I reached the end of the field. And wala akong nakita!!! GOD asked me, "di ba napakakulit mo, araw araw na ginawa ng Diyos... ay, ako pala un... eh nagdadasal ka na magkaroon ng perfect partner in life, bakit ngayon wala kang dala. My crops are all fresh and good. There is nothing there not ready and good for picking". I answered, "I thought I would see someone at the end on the field. Eh D'yos ko po, wala na pala. I thought that each step I
took brought me closer to perfection where in fact, each step brought me closer to nothingness. I remembered that guy who was looking at me. I know he's the one but I let him go, believing that there's someone better at the end of the field. Ohhhh, darn it! God said, "I'm sorry child, but I have given you enough time to choose.
You should face the reality and its consequences." With my head bowed down I said,
"I'm sorry I wasn't brave enough to raise my hand in the middle of the field and commit myself to someone. I was not ready to face the challenges of life with someone I thought was of lesser value than me... I'm sorry."*
Nagising akong umiiyak, saying sorry to GOD is giving me another chance to choose but not in His field but in the field of uncertainty. Now, I'm thinking about that guy in the field,the guy I felt was for me, wondering what might have been if I
raised my hand the moment I saw him. Then it hit me. What is the meaning of all my hardship to be successful and wealthy? I may become the most powerful and successful person on earth but if I don't have someone whom I will share my love and happiness with, then it will not be worth anything. Para sa ating lahat ito.
Think about it. We are not getting any younger. Explore GOD's field. I'm sure nand'yan lang sya sa tabi-tabi. Maaring in the beginning, in the middle or in the end. It's for you to find out. But most importantly, it's for you to choose. It's a part of the whole concept of love. It's a risk you have to take, a decision you have to make...

Pendong
Gising, fren!
Tumatanda ka na, fren.
Nasa Friday Magic Madness na yung mga paborito mong kanta. Nakaka-relate ka na sa Classic MTV. Lesbiana na yung kinaaaliwan mong child star dati. Nanay na lagi ang role ng crush na crush mong matinee idol noon.
Dati, pag may panot, sisigaw ka agad ng "PENDONG!". Ngayon, pag may sumisigaw nun, ikaw na yung napapraning. Parang botika na ang cabinet mo. May multivitamins, vitamin E, vitamin C, royal jelly, tsaka ginko biloba.
Dati, laging may inuman. Sa inuman, may lechon, sisig, kaldereta, inihaw na liempo, pusit, at kung anu-ano pa. Ngayon, nagkukumpulan na lang kayo ng mga kasama mo sa Starbucks at oorder ng tea.
Wala na ang mga kaibigan mo noon.
Ang dating masasayang tawanan ng barkada sa canteen, napalitan na ng walang katapusang pagrereklamo tungkol sa kumpanya ninyo. Wala na ang best friend mo na lagi mong pinupuntahan kapag may problema ka. Ang lagi mo na lang kausap ngayon e ang kaopisina mong hindi ka sigurado kung binebenta ka sa iba pag nakatalikod ka. Ang hirap nang magtiwala.
Mahirap nang makahanap ng totoong kaibigan. Hindi mo kayang pagkatiwalaan ang kasama mo araw-araw sa opisina. Kung sabagay, nagkakilala lang kayo dahil gusto ninyong kumita ng pera at umakyat sa tinatawag nilang "corporate ladder". Anumang pagkakaibigang umusbong galing sa pera at ambisyon ay hindi talaga totoong pagkakaibigan. Pera din at ambisyon ang sisira sa inyong dalawa.
Pera. Pera na ang nagpapatakbo ng buhay mo.
Alipin ka na ng Meralco, PLDT, SkyCable, Globe, Smart, at Sun. Alipin ka ng Midnight Madness. Alipin ka ng tollgate sa expressway. Alipin ka ng credit card mo. Alipin ka ng ATM. Alipin ka ng BIR.
Dati-rati masaya ka na sa isang platong instant pancit canton. Ngayon, dapat may kasamang italian chicken ang fettucine alfredo mo. Masaya ka na noon pag nakakapag-ober-da-bakod kayo para makapagswimming. Ngayon, ayaw mong lumangoy kung hindi Boracay o Puerto Galera ang lugar. Dati, sulit na sulit na sa yo ang gin pomelo. Ngayon, pagkatapos ng ilang bote ng red wine, maghahanap ka ng San Mig Light o Vodka Cruiser.
Wala ka nang magawa. Sumasabay ang lifestyle mo sa income mo. Nagtataka ka kung bakit hindi ka pa rin nakakaipon kahit tumataas ang sweldo mo. Yung mga bagay na gusto mong bilhin dati na sinasabi mong hindi mo kailangan, abot-kamay mo na. Pero kahit nasa iyo na ang mga gusto mong bilhin, hindi ka pa rin makuntento.
Saan ka ba papunta?
Fren, gumising ka. Hindi ka nabuhay sa mundong ito para maging isa lang sa mga baterya ng mga machines sa Matrix. Hanapin mo ang dahilan kung bakit nilagay ka rito. Kung ang buhay mo ngayon ay uulit-ulit lang hanggang maging singkwenta anyos ka na, magsisisi ka. Lumingon ka kung paano ka nagsimula, isipin ang mga tao at mga bagay na nagpasaya sa yo. Balikan mo sila.
Ikaw ang nagbago, hindi ang mundo. :-)
Tumatanda ka na, fren.

Ngayon, pagkatapos ng ilang bote ng red wine, maghahanap ka ng San Mig Light o Vodka Cruiser.
Wala ka nang magawa. Sumasabay ang lifestyle mo sa income mo. Nagtataka ka kung bakit hindi ka pa rin nakakaipon kahit tumataas ang sweldo mo. Yung mga bagay na gusto mong bilhin dati na sinasabi mong hindi mo kailangan, abot-kamay mo na. Pero kahit nasa iyo na ang mga gusto mong bilhin, hindi ka pa rin makuntento.
Saan ka ba papunta?
Fren, gumising ka. Hindi ka nabuhay sa mundong ito para maging isa lang sa mga baterya ng mga machines sa Matrix. Hanapin mo ang dahilan kung bakit nilagay ka rito. Kung ang buhay mo ngayon ay uulit-ulit lang hanggang maging singkwenta anyos ka na, magsisisi ka. Lumingon ka kung paano ka nagsimula, isipin ang mga tao at mga bagay na nagpasaya sa yo. Balikan mo sila.
Ikaw ang nagbago, hindi ang mundo. :-)

Delayed si Tekya :))
Pag-abot ni Lando sa balay, gisuginlan ni Tekya ang iyang bana.
Sweetheart, delayed ra ba ko ug usa ka buwan. Gikan pa lang ko sa doktor, apan ayaw lang ug pagsaba sa uban ha kay basin ug mauwawan ko kon dili tinuod".
Pagkaugma, adunay ni-abot nga taga Meralco. Pag-abli sa pultahan, matud pa sa kolektor, "Manang, delayed ka ug usa ka buwan." Kang kinsa man nimo nahibaw-an? Pangutana ni Tekya. Naa diri nakasuwat sa records namo, tubag sa taga Meralco. Mao ba? Nakasuwat diay sa records ninyo?
Sa sunod adlaw gisulong ni Lando ang Meralco nga suko kaayo sa counter:
Gi-unsa man ninyo pagkahibawo nga na delayed ug usa ka buwan ang akong asawa?
Dyutay'ng pasensya lang. Kon gusto ninyo nga mawa sa records namo dinhi, magbayad na lang mo, tubag sa empleyado.
Kay ngano man diay kon di ko mobayad? Pangutana ni lando.
Putlan ka, tubag sa empleyado.
Kon putlan ko, unsa man ang gamiton sa akong asawa?
Pwede man mogamit siya ug kandila, di ba?

Dyok Tym :))
Sa usa ka gingharian adunay usa ka elepante nga matudloan. Usa ka adlaw ni-ana, gipahibalo sa maong hari sa iyang gingsakupan. Ang ingon sa hari, kon kinsa man kaninyo ang makapalingiw niining elepante, siya ang mahimong asawa sa kausa-usa nakong anak ug mosunod nga hari, ipahibalo sa tanan.
Nikatag ang maong balita sa tibuok gingharian. Ni-abot ang adlaw sa maong hagit apan duha lang ang buot mosulay,tungod kay kamatayon man ang kabayaran kon kinsa man ang mapakyas sa pagpalingiw sa elepante. Matud pa sa hari "pagasugdan na" usa ka makusgan nga lalaki nagbitbit ug dospordos ug gihampak sa makusog ang elepante, apan ni-ago lang ang makalolooy nga elepante. Napakyas ang pirmiro nga nisalmot.
Ikaduha nga nisalmot, gisipa ug grabe ka kusog ang kinatawo sa elepante, apan ni-ungol lang gihapon. Makita sa nawong sa hari ang tumang kasubo, apan gikan sa kadaghanan aduna siyay nadungog nga tingog " ako mahal nga hari buot nako nga sulayan". Pangutana sa hari, kinsa ka? Ako si Pidol usa lamang ka yano nga lumulupyo. Sige sugdi na dayon kabalo naman siguro ka kon unsay silot sa mapakyas. Ang sulti sa hari ni Pidol.
Niduol si Pidol sa elepante ug gihunghungan niya kini, kalit lang nga nilingiw ang elepante ug natingala ang tanan. Ang pangutana, unsa man ang gihunghong ni Pidol sa elepante? Tubag: Matud ni Pidol, gusto ka sipaon na usab ka nako sa imong kinatawo?

WOMEN ARE COMPLEX CREATURES
If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman
If you don't, you are not a man
If you praise her, she thinks you are lying
If you don't, you are good for nothing
If you agree to all her likes, you are a wimp
If you don't, you are not understanding
If you visit her often, she thinks it is boring
If you don't, she accuses you of double-crossing
If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy
If you don't, you are a dull boy
If you are jealous, she says it's bad
If you don't, she thinks you do not love her
If you attempt a romance, she says you didn't respect her
If you don't, she thinks you do not like her
If you are a minute late, she complains it's hard to wait
If she is late, she says that's a girl's way
If you visit another man, you're not putting in "quality time"
If she is visited by another woman, "oh it's natural, we are girls"
If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold
If you kiss her often, she yells that you are taking advantage
If you fail to help her in crossing the street, you lack ethics
If you do, she thinks it's just one of men's tactics for seduction
If you stare at another woman, she accuses you of flirting
If she is stared by other men, she says that they are just admiring
If you talk, she wants you to listen
If you listen, she wants you to talk
In short:
So simple, yet so complex
So weak, yet so powerful
So confusing, yet so desirable
So damning, yet so wonderful......WOMEN!

Christian Ways To Reduce Stress
An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19 Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus ."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33 Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.
"If God is for us, who can be against us?"
(Romans 8:31)

Tips For A Good Night :))
Set a schedule:
Go to bed at a set time each night and get up at the same time each morning. Disrupting this schedule may lead to insomnia. "Sleeping in" on weekends also makes it harder to wake up early on Monday morning because it re-sets your sleep cycles for a later awakening.
Exercise:
Try to exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day. Daily exercise often helps people sleep, although a workout soon before bedtime may interfere with sleep. For maximum benefit, try to get your exercise about 5 to 6 hours before going to bed.
Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol:
Avoid drinks that contain caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and keeps people awake. Sources of caffeine include coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, non-herbal teas, diet drugs, and some pain relievers. Smokers tend to sleep very lightly and often wake up in the early morning due to nicotine withdrawal. Alcohol robs people of deep sleep and REM sleep and keeps them in the lighter stages of sleep.
Relax before bed:
A warm bath, reading, or another relaxing routine can make it easier to fall sleep. You can train yourself to associate certain restful activities with sleep and make them part of your bedtime ritual.
Sleep until sunlight:
If possible, wake up with the sun, or use very bright lights in the morning. Sunlight helps the bodies internal biological clock reset itself each day. Sleep experts recommend exposure to an hour of morning sunlight for people having problems falling asleep.
Don't lie in bed awake:
If you cant get to sleep, don't just lie in bed. Do something else, like reading, watching television, or listening to music, until you feel tired. The anxiety of being unable to fall asleep can actually contribute to insomnia.
Control your room temperature:
Maintain a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Extreme temperatures
may disrupt sleep or prevent you from falling asleep.
See a doctor if your sleeping problem continues:
If you have trouble falling asleep night after night, or if you always feel tired the next day, then you may have a sleep disorder and should see a physician. Your primary care physician may be able to help you; if not, you can probably find a sleep specialist at a major hospital near you. Most sleep disorders can be treated effectively, so you can finally get that good nights sleep you need.

Top 5 Ways To Build A Wonderful Life
1. Live Below Your Means
There will always be temptation to forsake the future for immediate gratification. We all want to buy that new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the flashy car we can't afford. It might feel great at the time but rash spending hurts a lot later on.
Enjoy life's simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don't create lasting happiness and security. Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.
2. Put Your Money to Work
Saving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. Good investments can be the difference between retiring in your 40's or in your 60's.
A post today at The Simple Dollar really got me thinking. According to Trent's projections, if a person in their early 20's invests 20% of their income in an S&P index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early 40's. They could retire without a drop in income!
Wise investing is the surest path to financial independence and it's something everyone can work on. It's definitely an area I'll be devoting more attention to in my personal life and on this blog.
3. Educate Yourself
To be happy we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life long education. This doesn't mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day. Self education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives.
Education builds over time. It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire don't mean much, but over the years they add up to form a wiser, kinder, more interesting person.
4. Develop Lasting Personal Relationships
Suppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships we develop with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don't forget about them.
Taking the time to cultivate and enjoy personal relationships is essential to longterm happiness. Without the people you care about you'll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you become.
5. Work Towards a Dream You're Passionate About
Even if your life isn't perfect, you can always build towards a goal you're passionate about. If you aren't building towards something, you're probably stagnating. When this happens to me I start to feel like a victim trapped by my own life. The best way to reverse this is working towards a goal.
We can't control everything about our lives, but working towards a goal gives us something positive to focus on and lays the foundation for future success. No matter what your passion is, get out there and start doing something. As Lao Tzu said, even a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
Bonus: 6. Stay in Shape
You only get one body. Once it's been ruined there isn't much you can do about it. Exercise to keep the rust off. Avoid excessive consumption of damaging substances and unhealthy foods. It may feel like terrible self denial at the time but enjoying good health in your later years is worth the sacrifice.

Love :))
LOVE is more than a four letter word
it packs more power than any we've heard.
LOVE can turn a frown into a smile
make our day more worthwhile.
LOVE never fails, love never tires
makes more heat than many fires.
LOVE makes us tingle and walk on air
helps us do things we wouldn't dare.
LOVE is a dream, a sweet fantasy
but it is also life and reality.
LOVE can fly us up so high
drop us low when it says goodbye.
LOVE is a strange mysterious force
but one we want to keep of course.
LOVE we don't want to live without
when it's absent, we will pout.
LOVE can go and new love return
better than before you will learn.
LOVE that is perfect and is right
may come along any day or night.
Yes LOVE is more than a four letter word
it's the most wonderful word you have heard. :))
"The Life without Smile is a Life without meaning"
it packs more power than any we've heard.
LOVE can turn a frown into a smile
make our day more worthwhile.
LOVE never fails, love never tires
makes more heat than many fires.
LOVE makes us tingle and walk on air
helps us do things we wouldn't dare.
LOVE is a dream, a sweet fantasy
but it is also life and reality.
LOVE can fly us up so high
drop us low when it says goodbye.
LOVE is a strange mysterious force
but one we want to keep of course.
LOVE we don't want to live without
when it's absent, we will pout.
LOVE can go and new love return
better than before you will learn.
LOVE that is perfect and is right
may come along any day or night.
Yes LOVE is more than a four letter word
it's the most wonderful word you have heard. :))
"The Life without Smile is a Life without meaning"
Infatuation vs Love :))
Infatuation is the initial, instant attraction and intense desire for a person of the opposite sex.
Love is a friendship that has caught fire. It takes root, develops and grows one day at a time. The process is slow.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When he/she is away you wonder if he/she is cheating you. Sometimes you check perhaps even discreetly.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. Your beloved feels the same also and this makes both even more trustworthy.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions or some unclear actions about your beloved that you would not like to examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his/her presence even when he/she is away. Miles of distance do not separate you. You want him/her nearer, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait.
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you can admit it is difficult to be in one another's company, for the underlying fear that it will end in intimacy.
Love is the maturation of friendship. You are confident that you must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation is usually temporary and eventually fades. It, however, might lead you to do things you will regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. Love usually lasts longer and goes deeper than strong sexual Feelings. It makes you think up and makes you a better person.
Infatuation makes you feel anxious, nervous and jealous. You feel convinced that you can't live without the other person. You are unable to see the person for who they really are because he/she is perfect in your eyes.
Love makes you feel excited. You are willing to respect the other person's opinions and accept the good or bad qualities. You share similar values and beliefs and you see the person for who they really are.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away! I can't risk losing you!"
Love says, "Be patient. Do not panic. Plan your future with confidence. There are rewards in waiting." :))

Living One Day At A Time
Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching for love, peace, and harmony. Others are spent surviving day by day.
But there is no greater moment than when we find that life, with all it's joys and sorrows, is meant to be lived one day at a time. It's in this knowledge that we discover the most wonderful truth of all.
Whether we live in a forty-room mansion, surrounded by servants and wealth, or find it a struggle to manage the rent month to month, we have it within our power to be fully satisfied and live a life with true meaning.
One day at a time - we have the ability, through cherishing each moment and rejoicing in each dream. We can experience each day a new and with this fresh start we have what it takes to make all our dreams come true.
Each day is new, and living one day at a time enables us to truly enjoy life and live it to the fullest.

Spiritual Exercises for the Days of the Week
Adapted from Start Now! A Book of Soul and Spiritual Exercises
by Rudolph Steiner
Most of us would like to live in a more spiritually- conscious way, but
the task can seem so daunting.
Where to begin?
The great teacher, author, and philosopher Rudolph Steiner
had a wonderful idea:
he identified one gentle spiritual task for each day of the week.
After all, seven is a magical number (think of the seven chakras),
and having seven days of the week as a container makes deep soul-sense.
You can use these simple, meaningful exercises as a basis for
meditation, or simply as touchstones to keep in mind throughout the
day. Step by step, we can gently bring ourselves into greater clarity
and awareness. Breaking the process down into daily tasks makes it so
do-able, and the end result will be greater soul-strength and
consciousness.
SATURDAY: Right Thinking
Be aware of your thoughts. Gradually learn to separate in your thoughts
the essential from the nonessential,
the eternal from the transitory,
and truth from mere opinion.
When listening to conversation, try to become inwardly still,
renouncing all agreement and, more important,
all negative judgments (criticism and rejection).
Do this in both thought and feeling.
SUNDAY: Right Judgment
Decide on even the most insignificant issues only after full,
well-founded deliberation and reflection.
Abstain from doing anything that has no significant reason.
Once we are convinced that a decision
is correct, adhere to it with inner steadfastness.
This is "right judgment"
because it was made independently of attraction or aversion.
MONDAY: Right Word
Avoid the usual sort of conversation that involves jumbled,
simultaneous cross-talk.
Listen thoughtfully to every statement and answer.
Consider every approach.
Never speak without a reason.
Prefer silence.
Try not to talk too much or too little.
Listen quietly and process what you hear.
TUESDAY: Right Deed
Our outer actions should not disturb others.
When we are moved inwardly (by conscience) to act,
carefully weight how best to employ the occasion for the good of the whole,
and the happiness of others and the eternal.
When you act from yourself and your own initiative,
weigh the consequences of your actions in the most fundamental way.
WEDNESDAY: Right Standpoint
In ordering your life, live in harmony with nature and spirit.
Do not get buried in the external knickknacks of life.
Avoid all that brings restlessness and haste to your life.
Be neither impetuous nor lazy.
Consider life as a means of inner work and development and act accordingly.
THURSDAY: Right Striving
Take care not to do anything beyond your power,
but don't leave anything undone that is within your ability.
Pose goals that are connected with the highest of human responsibilities.
In relation to these exercises,
for example, try to develop yourself so that
later---if not immediately- -you may be better able to help and advise others.
Let the preceding exercises become a habit!
FRIDAY: Right Memory
Strive to learn as much as possible from life.
Nothing happens that does not give us the opportunity to gather experiences
that are useful for life.
If you have done something incorrectly or incompletely,
it becomes an opportunity to do it correctly or completely later on.
When you see others act, observe them with the same end in mind
(but not without love).
Do nothing without looking at past experiences that may
help in your decisions and your actions.
If you are attentive, you can learn much from everyone,
including small children.

Brain Damaging Habits
1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.
10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
The main causes of liver damage are:
1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.
We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
Because :
Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).
This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time.Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
DO TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH......
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."
Because :
Evening at 9 - 11 PM : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).
This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time.Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.
DO TAKE CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH......

Love and Time
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats were left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

Cute Sayings for a Friend
Feel good when somebody Miss you. Feel better when somebody Loves you. But feel best when somebody never forgets you.
A friend is sweet when its new….but it is sweeter when its TRUE! But you know what? Its sweetest when its you.
Flowers need sunshine, violets need dew, all angels in heaven know I need you. years may fly, tears may dry, but my friendship with you will never die.
One day you will ask me: What is more important to you, me or your life? I will say: my life… You will walk away from me without knowing that YOU ARE MY LIFE!!!
A friend gives hope when life is low, a friend is a place when you have nowhere to go, a friend is honest, a friend is true. A friend is precious a friend is you.
If kisses were water, I will give you sea. If hugs were leaves, I will give you a tree.If you love a planet, I will give you a galaxy, if friendship is life I will give you mine.
People live People die People Laugh People Cry Some give up Some will try Some say hi Some say bye Others may forget YOU but never will I.
If I were to be anything in this world…. I’d be your tears!!!… So, I can be conceived in your heart, born in your eyes, live on your cheeks & die on your lips!!!!!
If you are a chocolate your the sweetest, if you are a Teddy Bear you are the most huggable, If you are a Star you are the Brightest, and since you are my “FRIEND” you are the “BEST”!!!!!!!!!
A special friend is rare indeed,it beems to be special breed,yes,perfect friends are very few,so lucky I'm for having you.
They say it takes a minute to fine a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
When God opened the window of the Heaven He asked me: What is your wish for today? “I said : please take special care of the person reading this!!!!!!!”
Time might lead me to nowhere and faith might break into pieces but I will always be THANKFUL that once in my life’s journey we became FRIENDS!
It takes half our life to find true friends and half of it keeping them.I am lucky to have spent less than half my life finding you and wish to spend the rest keeping you.
In my life I learned how… to love to smile to be happy to be strong to work hard to be honest to be faithful to forgive but I couldn’t learn how.. to stop rembering you.
I have seen angels in the sky… I have seen snowfall in july… I have seen things u only imAgine to see… But I haven’t seen anything sweeter than u.
There ar many stars but the moon is you, there are many friends but the best is you, To forget me that’s up to u,,, To forget you I will never ever do.
You may be out of my sight, but not out of my heart,you may be out of my reach but not out of my mind.I may mean nothing to you but you will always be special to me!!
How can you tell the rain not to fall when clouds exist? How can you tell the leaves not to fall when wind exist? How can you tell me not to fall in friendship when you exist.
Knowing a friend like you has made me happy in a million ways And if Ever I Have to Let you go………..I would Find a million reasons to make you stay!!!!
If I'm in hell you in heaven, I always look up and be proud of you. but if I were In heaven and you in hell, I beg God to send me down coz heaven wont be heaven without you.
Life is for you, death is for me, being happy is for you, being sad is for me, being together is for you, being lonely is for me, everything for you but you are for me.
If I could pull down the rainbow I would write your name with it and put it back in the sky to let everybody know how colourful my life is with a friend like you!!
Never say your happy when you are sad… never say you are fine when you are not ok… never say you feel good when you feel bad… and never say you are alone when I'm still alive.
Sometimes my mind asked why? I miss you, Why? I care for you, Why? I remember you then my heart answered it's simply because you are a sweet friend!!
