A Letter to the One that God has Prepared for Me

I got this from a bulletin board of a chat site. I wonder if some of the single bloggers feel this way...

I am wondering at this very minute if you are thinking of me, if like me, you are wondering what is taking us so long to find each other.
Many times I thought I finally found you only to be disillusioned by the fact that my wait has not yet ended. I get up each morning hoping, dreaming, longing to meet you. I am thinking of how we will meet, would it be as romantic as the ones I have seen in movies? Or is it possible that I have known you all my life but we have yet to realize that we are meant for each other? Oh how I wish you were here right now because you are the only one who has the answers to all my questions.
Sometimes I ask myself if I have ever really known "love". I do not have the answer to that question either but I believe that, more often than not, we will never really know what love is until we find that right person...and since I have not found you yet, then maybe I do not really know what love is!
You just don't know how often I dream of finally knowing what it feels like to be in your arms. Even at this very moment I am imagining how you will simply sweep me off my feet! Perhaps I would be drawn to you by your smile, or your eyes, or maybe even how you manage to make me laugh by your silly little ways! I don't really know for sure but I am praying that God will help me recognize you when the right time comes.
I think of all the pain that I have gone through in the past and of how much I have cried since the day I began my search. I just wanted you to know that I find my strength in clinging onto my vision of the beautiful life ahead of me --- the life I shall spend with you. In my mind and in my heart I know that you are worth all that pain and sacrifice. After all, the tears have become a part of my life and I believe that they are slowly washing away my flaws so that I would become perfect, not perfect in its truest sense, but perfect --- for YOU! I wonder if you've gone through so much pain as well. I wonder if you've been hurt so many times along the journey. But my dearest one, please don't ever give up because I am right here... patiently waiting for you! I assure you that when we finally find each other I would slowly heal those wounds by my love.
At night, I would look out my window and stare at the beautiful sky, hoping that somehow you are also looking up and wondering about me. I utter a silent prayer and send all my cries to the heavens above thinking that in time they would reach you. And when I feel impatient, I just close my eyes and believe that you are on your way and that you are longing to see me as well. It is funny but when I finally fall asleep, it is still you that I think of, for you are always in my dreams. It seems that, for now, that is the only place where I can hold on to you, long enough to tell you how much I love you. In my dreams you would kiss away my fears and wrap me with your arms of love.
And this, all the more, makes me want to wake up and face the new day ahead with the hope that soon enough, you will no longer be a dream but a reality and once again I am assured that you are worth the wait.
And when that time comes, everything will fall into its place, just as I had imagined, just as I had thought and dreamed, just as I had believed it would be! By then, I would simply look back and smile at all that I have gone through, in spite of the pain and amidst the simple joys of life --- and I would be very thankful because they all led me to you!!!
In the meantime, take care of yourself for me. Hold on to our dream and don't even think of letting go. Believe in your heart that we will find each other no matter what happens. God has planned the course and it is up to us to follow the directions. Don't worry, don't be afraid about getting lost, God saw to it that all the roads, no matter which one you choose to follow, lead to me.

Apples and Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten applesfrom the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Share this with other women who are good apples, even those who have already been picked!

Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

An Ode

To appreciate the essence of this poem, read this out aloud...

Last Fog Sea In Die

Thing none knew see in die
Who bought who bad
The hill key none taught see in die
Last fog see in die.

Fog must done knew see who one
Thin knee tea gas sun
Cash sea see in die
Who bought who bad
Bull ball money peace.

In knee love bus knee who one
Dean act money in die
Key knee league see who one
The hill be not tea knee in die
Knee love as son see who one
Be thin see in die!

Count the faces

Here is the original picture with its caption...

Are Women Smarter Than Men?

It's obvious that women are smarter than men, think about it! Diamonds are a girl's bestfriend; man's best friend is a dog!

From Meet Joe Black

"I know it's a cornball thing, but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what areyou going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart... Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived... Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike."

My sentiments exactly! Take the risk! You only live once. Love with passion, not with purpose.

Really Strange!

Strange talaga itong nangyayari sa akin na ito!
Yesterday I changed the battery, I switched between two batteries thinking it was the positoning of my clock that's causing it to stop. Kaso kahit anong kalikot ko sa clock ko at anong palit ko sa battery wala talaga. I gave up on it.
Early this morning I tried to fix my wall clock, tripr lang. I removed the battery and took the other one and it worked! The hands are moving again!
A few minutes ago I looked for my dressy watch so I could put it somewhere safe. Pucha, my watch is working ulit! Syet! Ano ba ito? I'm getting worried here.

================================

Yesterday before I left the house I noticed the watch that my Mom gave me stopped moving. I guess it needs a new battery. I still have 2 watches left, one is the cheap Divisoria watch while the other one is a dress-up watch. I brought the Divisoria watch because I wasn't so sure it was safe to bring the other one. This morning while I was preparing to leave I noticed my wall clock stopped! That to me was odd because it was working when I woke up. I tried to fix my wall clock, changed the batter and even fixed the way it was hanging on the wall. Nothing! It's really dead. Anyway, I decided I would use my dress-up watch to work because my Divi watch looked really cheap with the bad watch bracelet on. Around midday, I noticed the time on my dress-up watched stopped too! I tried to fix it but it wouldn't work. My cousin bought it for me only this September so the battery should still be ok. Is this weird or what? I felt like I was in the twilight zone!

Ilocano's, when they hear a lizard making that "knocking" sound or saltik as we call it, we would knock on any wooden surface and say someone is arriving. To me whenever I would hear that, it would mean someone is arriving, for the past 2 years the saltik to me mean someone's going to show up online soon. G, remember that time I asked you about the lizard? I was already hearing the lizards' saltik, I wanted to tell you about it that's why I asked if you've seen a lizard before. I had a strong feeling HE would show up. He did show up! Diba G? I heard the strongest saltik last week of May and I thought to myself if things were ok he would probably show himself to me. He did show up, June 2.

Call me superstitious but there are certain signs that I believe in that people would brush off as coincidence, while some would try to link these signs w/ some scientific explanation. I'm thinking maybe the clocks/watches stopping was a sign. I wonder what this time stopping means (aside from the fact that I need to buy new batteries for my watches)? Bad omen? I hope not!

Women and their Asses

Here are the stats on a study that show how women feel about their asses:

• 85% think their asses are too big
• 10% think their asses are too little
• 5% say they don't care, they love him, he's a good man, they would have married him anyway.

I must! I must!

I find Gracey's blog amusing, esp her pampalaki post. It's about this penile enlargement gadget. The gadget itself looks like an instrument you would find in a torture chamber!
Her entry reminded me of my dear friend M. When I first met him, he unabashedly told me all about his lovelife. After a few more meetings he started telling me his sexcapades. He casually mentioned that while he was in UK, he bought this penis pump. Sabi nya lumaki daw ng 1/4 inch ang birdie niya. I asked him how big his birdie is, he said it's 6. I told him that his birdie is bigger than the average Pinoy twit-twit. According an article in one of Dr. Margie Holmes' book ang average South East Asian twit-twit ay 3 to 4 inches. Uyyy... Sino kaya sa mga nakakabasa ng blog ko ngayon ang namumutla? Hehehe.
Anyway, M said naliliitan pa sya sa 6 inches so he bought that pump. It worked naman daw kaso once he stopped eventually it went back to its original size. This was his story to me 3 years ago.
A few months ago, I saw him at the gym. Mega work out ang bruha kasi he wants to prove something to his ex-lover. He's been taking all these supplements make him grow taller and to increase the size of his penis. Huh? Lalaki pa ba yon after 30 years and with the use of supplements? He said it's not just supplements that can make it bigger, there are exercises he has to do. Since he is a nurse he has knowledge of these things so wala naman sigurong problema. I asked him what these supplements are kasi sabi ko it might come in handy, ayaw naman ibigay kasi hindi naman daw ako boy. End of discussion na kami kasi ayaw naman niya ibigay ang secret formula. Besides wala pa naman daw results.
Last night he called me. Nagtataray ang bruha, feeling niya mahaba ang hair niya kasi lumaki na raw ang birdie niya! It's now 7 inches long. Owws? Totoo? He said he should know if it's bigger not or not since he's been aware of it's size since college, disappointed nga siya sa 6. I should have asked him to show his thingy to me noh? Sabay take ng picpic for posterity, mga before and after pics. Hehehe. He said that he wants to reach the 8 inch mark. Take note: 8 inches. Sabi niya it has grown na raw kasi alam naman niya ang size non. I guess he measures it everyday. He also said that his sex drive and stamina have increased. Before he leaves for the US, pagkinulit daw sya ng ex-lover niya papayag daw sya kahit sex lang just to show off his schlong to his ex at isasampal daw nya ito sa kanya. Hahahaha!
Uy! I should get that secret formula and the exercise! I could make money out of it! Bwahahahaha!

Triangle of Life

I got this email from an orgmate, Christopher Pedrezuela. This could be helpful.

Excerpt from Doug Copp's article "TRIANGLE OF LIFE"
Edited by Larry Linn for MAA Safety Committee brief on 4/13/04


My name is Doug Copp. I am the Rescue Chief and Disaster Manager of the American Rescue Team International (ARTI), the world's most experienced rescue team. The information in this article will save lives in an earthquake.
I have crawled inside 875 collapsed buildings, worked with rescue teams from 60 countries, founded rescue teams in several countries, and I am a member of many rescue teams from many countries. I was the United Nations expert in Disaster Mitigation for two years. I have worked at every major disaster in the world since 1985, except for simultaneous disasters.

In 1996, we made a film which proved my survival methodology to be correct. The Turkish Federal Government, City of Istanbul, University of Istanbul Case Productions and ARTI cooperated to film this practical, scientific test. We collapsed a school and a home with 20 mannequins inside. Ten mannequins did "duck and cover," and ten mannequins I used in my "triangle of life" survival method. After the simulated earthquake collapse we crawled through the rubble and entered the building to film and document the results.

The film, in which I practiced my survival techniques under directly observable, scientific conditions, relevant to building collapse, showed there would have been zero percent survival for those doing duck and cover.

There would likely have been 100 percent survivability for people using my method of the "triangle of life." This film has been seen by millions of viewers on television in Turkey and the rest of Europe, and it was seen in the USA, Canada and Latin America on the TV program "Real TV."

The first building I ever crawled inside of was a school in Mexico City during the 1985 earthquake. Every child was under their desk. Every child was crushed to the thickness of their bones. They could have survived by lying down next to their desks in the aisles. It was obscene, unnecessary and I wondered why the children were not in the aisles. I didn't at the time know that the children were told to hide under something.

Simply stated, when buildings collapse, the weight of the ceilings falling upon the objects or furniture inside crushes these objects, leaving a space or void next to them. This space is what I call the "triangle of life."

The larger the object, the stronger, the less it will compact. The less the object compacts, the larger the void, the greater the probability that the person who is using this void for safety will not be injured. The next time you watch collapsed buildings on television, count the "triangles" you see formed. They are everywhere. It is the most common shape, you will see, in a collapsed building. They are everywhere.

TEN TIPS FOR EARTHQUAKE SAFETY:

1) Most everyone who simply "ducks and covers" WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE are crushed to death. People who get under objects, like desks or cars, are crushed.

2) Cats, dogs and babies often naturally curl up in the fetal position. You should too in an earthquake. It is a natural safety/survival instinct. You can survive in a smaller void. Get next to an object, next to a sofa, next to a large bulky object that will compress slightly but leave a void next to it.

3) Wooden buildings are the safest type of construction to be in during an earthquake. Wood is flexible and moves with the force of the earthquake. If the wooden building does collapse, large survival voids are created.
Also, the wooden building has less concentrated, crushing weight. Brick buildings will break into individual bricks. Bricks will cause many injuries but less squashed bodies than concrete slabs.

4) If you are in bed during the night and an earthquake occurs, simply roll off the bed. A safe void will exist around the bed. Hotels can achieve a much greater survival rate in earthquakes, simply by posting a sign on the back of the door of every room telling occupants to lie down on the floor, next to the bottom of the bed during an earthquake.

5) If an earthquake happens and you cannot easily escape by getting out the door or window, then lie down and curl up in the fetal position next to a sofa, or large chair.

6) Most everyone who gets under a doorway when buildings collapse is killed. How? If you stand under a doorway and the doorjamb falls forward or backward, you will be crushed by the ceiling above. If the doorjamb falls sideways, you will be cut in half by the doorway. In either case, you will be killed!

7) Never go to the stairs. The stairs have a different "moment of frequency" (they swing separately from the main part of the building). The stairs and remainder of the building continuously bump into each other until structural failure of the stairs takes place. The people who get on stairs before they fail are chopped up by the stair treads - horribly mutilated.
Even if the building doesn't collapse, stay away from the stairs. The stairs are a likely part of the building to be damaged. Even if the stairs are not collapsed by the earthquake, they may collapse later when overloaded by fleeing people. They should always be checked for safety, even when the rest of the building is not damaged.

8) Get near the outer walls of buildings or outside of them if possible. It is much better to be near the outside of the building rather than the interior. The farther inside you are from the outside perimeter of the building the greater the probability that your escape route will be blocked.

9) People inside of their vehicles are crushed when the road above falls in an earthquake and crushes their vehicles; which is exactly what happened with the slabs between the decks of the Nimitz Freeway. The victims of the San Francisco earthquake all stayed inside of their vehicles. They were all killed. They could have easily survived by getting out and sitting or lying next to their vehicles. Everyone killed would have survived if they had been able to get out of their cars and sit or lie next to them. All the crushed cars had voids 3 feet high next to them, except for the cars that had columns fall directly across them.

10) I discovered, while crawling inside of collapsed newspaper offices and other offices with a lot of paper, that paper does not compact. Large voids are found surrounding stacks of paper.

Spread the word and save someone's life...

============ Bored Ako ============

I'm bored. I wish there was something for me to do other than sit and stare at my PC the whole day. People think just because I'm always at home I've got it easy. WRONG! I would rather be out there working, making money so I'd have something to spend. I want to be productive as in really productive! I am at home all the time because I don't have the means right now being in between jobs while I finish my degree. Sheesh! Hindi madali ang tumunganga buong maghapon sa loob ng kuwarto kong parang oven sa init sa tanghali hanggang late afternoon. Hay buhay!

Kung anu-ano tuloy ang naiisip kong gawin, kung anu-ano tuloy pumapasok sa utak ko. It's true that the devil finds work for idle hands(and minds) to do. It's hard to resist the kabulastugan that enters your mind when you are BORED.
