Quote of the Day: Men

“Men want to enjoy women’s beauty without compromising their character.”

Joke of the Day: Gotcha Mama

An 11-year-old boy catches a butterfly and pulls out its wings and then kills it. His father tell him:

“As punishment, you can’t have butter for two weeks.”

The next day, the son catches a honeybee and drives a needle through it’s tiny heart. His father tells him,

“As punishment, you can’t have honey for two weeks.”

That night, his mother steps on a cockroach and squishes it dead. The son asks his father,

“Do you tell her should or should I?”

AnQuiMa: Drowning, Dying & Moving On

‘s pen is bleeding…

DROWNING, DYING & MOVING ON

I’m drowning in pain,
It hurts too much that I could not explain.
I’m drowning in tears,
After loving you all this years.

I’m dying inside,
That I could not hide.
I’m here all alone, dying
All through the night I’m crying.

I’m moving on, I’ll try
But still asking myself why.
Why am I moving on with your goodbye?
When I still don’t want our love to die.

Friends Make Your Life Longer

I have known so many people I call friends. I’ve met the worst people – people who lie everyday. People who pretend to be nice but they are not. Be careful with them. They are all around you. People who have nothing but to mind others’ lives or join others in whatever issues. I’m not the sweet or nice type of person who pretends to be nice with everybody for me to gain friends. I’m a friendly person and I love interacting with different people. I look snobbish at first but once you’ve talked to me and we hit with our conversations, that’s the start of a good friendship. I say anything I want, kind of tackless at times. I laugh all the time and enjoy having a good time with my friends. Honestly, friendship is very important to me. I’ll do ways to keep the friendship longer. If you’ve had a ruined friendship because of some nonsense reasons, that’s not friendship at all…that’s bullshit. What I really like about having friends, I’ve got to see and know their attitudes. It’s either you accept it or not but I have learned that no matter how hard you try to accept and understand someone, your effort will be worthless if that someone is really at its worst.

I can say that friendship is the secret to a longer life. I don’t think people who don’t have friends, loners or hates people, have this good or healthy life. Friendships play an important role in maintaining a good health and having a long life especially in times of problems. As of now, social ties are the cheapest medicine we’ve got for everyone. A friend can boost your chances of surviving anything. A friend gives you longer life expectancies. I’ve known some who are isolated from other people and they are not living a happy and healthy life. A friend lessens the suffering from depression, anxiety and other type of mental illnesses. A friend encourages you to take good care of yourself or even takes care of you. A friend calms your fears and gives you hope.  A friend stays with you in any situation or any crisis.

So if you have friends, keep them! It’s hard to find true friends nowadays. =)

Independence is Expensive

I wrote this when I was in college, those were the days when my parents were so strict to me:

Independence is Expensive

One Friday night, me and my friends decided to  relax and enjoy in a bar in Malate after a long week of exams. I pursued to go with them even though my parents didn’t allow me to gimmick. Without considering the permission and time, I went home late and drunk. Never had I felt more free and happier. Once again, I returned to my normal life the next day. My parents were very mad at me that they didn’t let me explain my side. It was one of the Martial Law days in our house. All my life, I want to experience being free and independent, standing on my own and voicing out anything in my mind without parents who will contradict me.

On most days, I had minimum hours of sleep and thought about nothing but lessons in school, to please myself and my parents, and to avoid conflict with them. One of the reasons why I want to be independent is to avoid conflicts with my parents. I can say that age gap can really results conflicts between parents and their children. I always have conflicts with them but with my mouth shut. I don’t consider a conflict as bad as long as I can give enough argument on what I stand for. For me, being independent is standing on your own – making decisions for yourself. I want to stand on my own as early as possible. Living at home may have advantages: free room and board and other benefits given by most parents which led to the dependence which is hard to break later on. I want to keep a watch on my money, time and action, and learn to get along with my parents. A life where I am the one to decide and to be blamed on all the consequences of my actions. This will prepare me to face the future alone courageously. It is also about the freedom that will make me decide to live independently. Living independently is doing anything you want with responsibility. At home, I have to ask my parents before doing anything. I couldn’t and wouldn’t live and ask them forever! They are here to guide but not to control me. I want to prove to myself especially to my parents that I can stand on my own and be responsible in anything I do. I could make mistakes, as part of life, but it will make me a better and stronger person to face challenges in the future like a bird starting to live away from its mother and facing the threats of its journey.

Reasons of being independent are many, and I think these reasons will cause a crack in a parent-child relationship. It is much better if parents let their children prove themselves. Children should escape from the shadow of their parents and express themselves to create a friendly relationship with them. I am not a rebellious child, I am undergoing this problem, and it’s not an easy one.

I’ve realized a lot after I wrote this essay. I learned to understand my parents and my parents learned to listen and understand me.

 

Priceless Gift =)

Me and Kat celebrated our two years together – friendship and romantic relationship – yesterday. It was a special day for us even though we were not able to dine out and celebrate because of our work schedule. We just woke up early because we have to go to office. She always cook my food for lunch. During our lunch time when I was about to take out my lunch, I saw a white piece of paper outside my lunch box with a note: “I love you Myumi!” I discovered that the paper is not an ordinary paper but a photograph of us:

 

 

The first time I saw that pillow I knew that she’ll like it because she loves dogs. We are both dog lovers. As you can see, the pillow has images of two cute puppies. The pillow is quite big and it’s quite a hassle on my way home. Me and Kat lives in one house with her sister, so I did hide my gift because I want to surprise her.

She made a collage of our photographs together. I was amazed and overwhelmed. I really love it!  We were very happy last night! We are planning to continue the celebration in this coming weeks. We are hoping to go to Tagaytay to celebrate if the weather permits us to do so.

Belated happy anniversary to both of us! This gift is priceless!

It was already 9pm but Kat hasn’t arrived. When she entered our room, she turned off the lights. When the I turned on the lights. She gave this gift to me:

 

Me and Jhay-R went to SM Megamall in the afternoon to buy a gift for Kat. I was not able to give her a gift last year, so I really pursued to buy something yesterday for that special day. I was having difficulties in choosing a gift because Kat is not that appreciative when it comes to gifts unless she really likes it. We went to Blue Magic and buy this pillow:

 

I was surprised. We really have many pictures together online, in my ipod and in our personal computer but we don’t have printed copies of those pictures. We’ve been busy with so many things that we don’t have time to print all the pics. I kept the picture and put it inside my wallet. That was our first printed photograph ever.

 

QUOTE of the DAY

“Even if you do things the right way, some would still be unsatisfied. Some will not appreciate what you say and what you do, and there would always be people who would let you down too. But, for as long as you speak honestly from the heart, you’ll be fine. This is not a perfect world. This is not a perfect life. Life is almost always unfair. But life loves the person who dares to live it.“

A Creed to Live By

Don’t determine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what others deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart; cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life
is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.

By living your life ONE DAY AT A TIME, you will live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give.

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect; it is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.
It’s by taking chances we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut LOVE out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive LOVE is to give LOVE, the fastest way to lose LOVE is to hold it too tightly and the best way to keep LOVE is to give it wings.

Don’t dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without HOPE;
To be without HOPE is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only WHERE YOU’VE BEEN — but also — WHERE YOU’RE GOING.

Life isn’t a race, but IT’S A JOURNEY — TO BE SAVORED EACH STEP OF THE WAY.
