Do you care bout your future?

The phone rang around 5 pm....time to get up and pick up my mom from the store. I don't feel getting up since I'm still sleepy. So I got up, wash my face, brush my teeth get the keys then I'm on my way....When I arrived at our store, my dear mama was already waiting outside. She asked me to help her go to the grocery store to buy some stuff for us to bring to Manila tomorrow. My dad asked my mom to buy some carrot juice for him...that's the flavor of the week. : I'm pretty sure next time it will be different, apple or grapes? I don't know...let's just wait and see.
I figured out that it will be best to pass by HensonVille to avoid the heavy traffic, and its much faster to get to Dau using that route. Then as we pass along Richtofen Street, I saw my two cousin outside their house, which by the way lives in HensonVille....I saw the two of them sweeping outside their front gate. When I saw them, somehow I felt sad. Here is why...
My cousin...( 4 siblings) ...3 of them already graduated from college. The eldest is 27 years old, the second one is 25 and the other one is 23. We were really not close with them, one main reason is that my aunt doesn't want her kids to be close to us..(actually not just us..as long as it's her husband's side) maybe she have some insecurity problem or what...hehehe...that is why as much as possible she doesn't want any of my cousin coming over to our house or to other relative's house..I don't know what's with her...Sorry...now, back to the topic, yes about my cousin, they graduated already however none of them have jobs, they do have a family business, they have a paint center but they do not help in managing the business, they just stay at home sit, eat, watch TV, playstation ( a certified playstation addict) and sleep, everyday the same routine....in a way it makes me sad. They're lucky they still have their parents with them, looking after them, but I think they need to think of their future, what will happen if one day they wake up without their parents...how? what are they gonna do?
Last month my uncle spoke with my mom telling her that he was really depressed, that's one of the main reason why he is depressed, he tried to convince his son to help or at least start to take over the business but he doesn't seem interested...It seems that my dear cousin don't have any plans for the future. He have a 3 year old son ( I think he is already 3 if not 4), but no, he's not married..he doesn't want to marry the mother, but from what I know, they broke up after the girl got pregnant and now they're back together. I think he needs to start to live his life seriously....parents are not always there for us....there will come a time that they cannot stay with us any longer, we do not know what might happen in the future, we need to get ready.
I just wish that he realizes that its time to make a change, live his life differently..more seriously and be more responsible...I just hope that what happened with my dad won't happen to his..They are lucky they have a healthy dad who can do things for them....for their family..and they don't have to do anything...And I hope they'll find time to have a good talk and bond...cause they do not have a good relationship at home...they don't have small talks, if they are at home, they just stay in their respective rooms not talking each other...time is running out..time flies so fast that we need to value time...time needs to be spent wisely..especially with our family...our loved ones...

Aurevoir!

This entry is for a friend who moved her cheese to the MOST team. Last night's shift is her very last day with the whole team and of course her last day with us (her friends). We will surely miss her so much...(yuckers..plastic ang dating..hehehe)....We would miss calling her Aubrey, dekada, JenTong, Rochelle from the sex bomb dancer, and Jen Jen.

We have enjoyed each other's company, we've had ups and down but it didn't hinder us from keeping the friendship we had. If my memory serves me well, she was the first person I ever met here in AOL, she's the first person who approached me...for those people who thinks that she is snobbish, well, you're wrong she is one of the most friendliest person I know (the mataray thing? well its just the looks).
It's sad to see someone from your group leave, its been always the four of us, Me, Ann, TetiTets and her..Oh! sorry I mean five of us...but Laren already moved to MOST but we're still close, we always see to it that we're updated with what's going on with our boring lives..hehe... It's also funny that other people thought that our group had a fight and because of this she is moving to different queue...well that's wrong, she have other reason why she is moving besides she dreads to sleep at night she wants a normal life.
Is my entry full of drama or what?? Hehehe...any way my dear few readers, she's just moving to another queue, sorry if it soundedlike she's leaving the country..hahaha...well it's just we'll miss her...anyway we can still send email and text messages, right Jen? Okay, okay, enough of the Drama! Just keep us updated okay, especially your love life..wahahaha...(para kasing telenovela eh..sinusubaybayan namen). Goodluck girl! muah muah...from all of us.

I can relate to you, Collyn. One of my dearest friends will be moving her cheese to MOST too. I'll definitely miss her for the time I will be spending with her will definitely become few and far between since she will no longer be in the floor. It saddens me that I might not be able to talk with her as often as I like to. I knew though that it's time for her to move on - to try something new. This will add spice to her life. Oh! I almost forgot you're going to move to that same department too and that means having Jen in the same queue. I will be missing seeing you in the floor w/ Ann. Anyway, who knows I might be moving my cheese too and join you in your queue in the future. ;-)

"Which are you?"

Here's a good story on how to face life's challenges..

A young woman went to her mother lamenting the difficulties of her life. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that every time one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?" "Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity--boiling water - but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water. "Which are you?" she asked her daughter." When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"r level handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?...

Beautiful, isnt it?...We can easily relate on it.
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?...Written by mhicollyn Blog about this entry

Angels of Healing and Compassion

Angels of Healing and Compassion How to call on the angels to help you with your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health By David Lawson Excerpted from 'A Company of Angels: Your Angel Transformation Guide' by David Lawson published by Findhorn PressWhen you are sick, feeling lonely, feeling depressed, or lacking energy and unable to motivate yourself, you may wish to ask the Angels for their healing support. You may also choose to do this when you are preparing for, or recuperating from, an operation.
Just imagine your body, mind, emotions, and spirit becoming a magnet for angelic healing and ask angelic guardians to intervene by directing healing energy to wherever it is needed. You could imagine your angels placing hands, wings, or beams of healing light energy upon any area of your body that is in need of a healing boost, or simply picture them radiating light directly to your mind, spirit, or emotions. Do this regularly.
If you are lying in bed recovering from an illness or an accident, you could even do this several times every day. Just remember that the more you ask, the more you will receive.
Talk to your angels. If you can, be specific about your needs. You could ask them to bring you the healing that would help you evolve spiritually; you could ask them to comfort you during times of grief or heal the cause of your distress. You could even ask them to help your doctor, healer, or complementary therapist provide the best available treatment for your condition. What is more, if you wish to develop your own healing abilities to help other people, you could ask your angels for their guidance. When asked, angels love to point you towards the right books, courses, and tutors to build and enhance your skills in the best way possible. All you need to do is say is: "Angels, I need to find the perfect book about.... Please guide me in the right direction."
Exercise: Sending Angelic HealingFind a quiet, comfortable place to sit and relax. Breathe deeply, allow your eyes to close and use your imagination to contact the angels of healing. You may ask for healing for someone who is sick, someone who is lonely or isolated, someone who is grieving, or for any human need that another person may have. You may even send healing thoughts to someone who is quite well but who you instinctively feel may need a boost of confidence, joy, or inspiration.
Begin by thinking of the person whom you wish to send angelic healing. You do not have to know them intimately or even know their name, just focus on the information you have about them and trust the angels to make the connection with the right person. If you do know this person well, then take a few moments to think of them, remembering how they look or how it feels to be in their company as well as acknowledging their current situation. Ask the angels to surround this individual with healing energy and provide them with the love and support required to facilitate a process of spiritual transformation.
Picture this person surrounded by angels of healing. Each angel has a special gift to bring. Some may cheer and comfort; some may offer protection while others may bathe this individual with golden rays of healing light. If there is physical illness or disease, imagine the light creating balance and harmony throughout the body. If there is emotional distress, the light calms and brightens the emotions and brings a new sense of hope. If this person is recovering from an accident, imagine the angels using the light to disperse the fear and shock that may surround them and picture all breaks, sprains, burns or bruises healing rapidly.
Do your best to be as detached about the outcome as possible. When you are engaged in absent healing, it is not always possible to receive direct confirmation of effectiveness. Be content to send healing thoughts, ask for the help of the angels, and trust that the person in question will receive some healing or comfort. The form that this healing may take will vary and so will the results. All we can do is ask for the angels to intervene, send our loving thoughts and surrender to the will of the divine. If there is any practical support to be offered, you will be guided to do so.
