Merry Christmas Everyone!

Only @ 321greetings.com


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Amen

Tribute To Friends

True friendship is about putting your feet up and knowing that someone is there to bail you out when the world might walk out on you. Besides, as a support system in today's hectic world, friends are the most reliable sources for social, intellectual and creative stimulations.

In the present fast pace age of nuclear families where people have little time to spend with each other, friends have become indispensable. Then there are times when we find it tough to discuss matters with our family members or even with our spouses ( for Kristine's case) it is on occasions such as these that friends come to our support. They guide us and become our pillar of strength when we need them most. And the best part is we don't really need to put things in words when communicating issues to our best friends. Most often friends understand us, just by looking at us or hearing our voice. This heart-to-heart bonding is what makes friendship so exclusive, setting it apart from all other relationships.

I always miss these girls....

Mixed Lyrics, Mixed Emotions

I am unwritten, can't read my mind,
I'm undefined I'm just beginning,
the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it

There's nothing good about goodbye
Just say goodbye

If I cut you down to a thing I can use,
I fear there will be nothing good left of you.

I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
Cause lately all we do is fight
And every time it cuts me deeper

The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my life?

I know you feel helpless now and
I know you feel alone
That's the same road, the same road that I am on

I'm alive but I'm alone,
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

Today is where my book begins
The rest is still unwritten

To HELL with JERKS!

Until recently, I had a very close sidekick friend that I love. We spent a ton of time together doing all sorts of things – golf ( as in gulp! gulp! gulp!, over GSM and david cook and Jason mraz songs) job hunting, going on a trip together ( to Cebu, 2x). Jerk was one of the first people I go to when Im down and sad and was one of the first people to see the smile on my face, too. He is a lot younger than I am, just half of my age…and he is GAY!

About 2 years ago, he showed up to my office and applied for work. Since we didn’t need any additional manpower at work, I hired him to nanny my kid and my 2 nieces who were vacationing at that time. He spent the entire summer with me helping around the house. Aside from contributing much in the upkeep of m house, he became my confidante. He became an extension of my family that whatever he goes through, I get affected too. So the friendship was developed…

Unsurprisingly, over the last year, our friendship has gone through a lot. Mostly, we would brainstorm to find ways to put him to school permanently…and in those times, I have never been short in helping him out in financial matters. But eventhough we are that close, I still uphold my principles over money. If you owe me, you must pay me even if that’s a single cent only…but if I give money even if that’s 1M ( as if I can afford, figure of speech only darling!) that’s a gift I will NEVER ask back.

At first, this really upset me, and for a time I made a concerted effort to understand him. But I found that my perspective had changed a lot over the past several months – or should I say that familiarity already bred contempt on my side. It was ok for me that he borrows things from me, and that is usually the case when he sleeps over my house. But recently, I have noticed that he had borrowed lots and not returning them. Or sometimes he would get my stuff without telling me, I will just find out about it when I come looking for it. It bothered me a lot. Aside from not paying back the money he owes me ( well, he did pay me now….after I raised HELL!) he never made an effort to return my stuff when I needed them. ( again, he already returned them….and again after I raised WWIII)

The sad part was, when returned my stuff ( how about my shades jerk? And the towel? And the….should I name them all???) including the gifts I gave him as tokens of my friendship…. the bling blings I bought when I traveled and specifically bought it for him…yes, he returned them…so what should I think about it? Is it a sign of severing complete ties with me? I thought so! And that hurt me a lot! I only asked for things that he borrowed---the money and some stuff, but NEVER the gifts!!! I haven’t heard from Jerk since.

What did I realize? I used to have a friend, now HE IS GONE….and I want it to remain that way. I will not go after you, nor the friendship that you just wasted….Even more, a real friendship will survive any such change in philosophy. But when you returned those stuff I didn’t ask, I will let the friendship die and fade with it…
Im not worried about you ending the friendship because you’ve made choices to improve your life, ask yourself if the people around you now are your real friends. Ask yourself if they will come up to you the minute you need them. ASK YOURSELF, because YOU CANT ASK ME ANYMORE!

Break Ups

You cannot finish the book of life,
without closing it's chapters.

If you want to go on...
then you have to leave the past
as you turn the pages.(Pravs World)
Break ups


Ending a relationship is not easy – especially if it’s not your choice. Misery replaces all good memories once the relationship ends, because, at the very least, you have lost the emotional investment you made in that relationship. All feelings of failure, hopelessness, loss, despair, and desperation creeps their way in. In most cases, the length of the relationship compounds the pain of loss – a break up after half a lifetime together can seem like the end of the world. It feels like a part of you has been taken away, the eerie feeling of having one limb severed, or things that seem too normal may now be very difficult like shopping, watching movies or eating out because part of those routines are part of the memories with the ex-partner…Sigh!


Whatever the reason for a breakup, coping can be a challenge, because even a disappointing relationship starts out with an emotional investment. Serious relationships begin on a high note of excitement and hope for the future. Couples invest time, energy, plans, dreams and hope for the future in love relationships. When these relationships fail, profound disappointment is experienced.


Every loss is always painful, especially lost relationships over death, over misunderstandings, over distance…but life is designed and molded from a web of uncertainty…Life is already difficult than it should be, what more with relationships when you have to make both wavelengths of emotions and thinking meet at certain level…


There’s no such thing as right way of coping but there are some helpful tips…and overtime, the pain just go away....memories fade and grief subsides..


For whatever its worth, I would still like to take the challenge of loving and losing than not feel it at all…so BRING IT ON!

Friends...for better or for worse

Is Friendship just a thought?

I have taken steps to invite and support real friendships for some people who live with what they call their personal abnormalities. Although I don’t see the way she sees it, she would prefer to move along without accepting my offer, and I know deep in her heart she is struggling with isolation. The human nature is to be judgmental and that’s the flow of play, so sympathy and affection may seem out of reach, and she’s worried about the possibility of a life-long pattern of separateness from her friends, but she is the one alienating herself from others who she thinks imposes a threat to her “abnormality”. So what can I do?

To begin, I’m not sure that I really know anything about making friends and being a good one. How can I be sure now when the one I want to be my friend wont accept me as one? The older I get, the more I think that making friends start by discovering each other. Then if we're lucky, we pay attention, we stay faithful, and just hope we don't mess up, then we have a friend for life. But that is not always the case. Sometimes we just meet people by chance, somewhere, at only one time….though first impressions could be the basis to continue friendships, yet communication is not constant and limited. I would say, I am someone who try to abridge gaps with my far away friends thru communications…so I really keep in contact with people I don’t get to see often, even thru SMS, landline, letters, the web or even to the extent of visiting the people I sorely miss wherever they may be…

I hope that people who deny to live with their “abnormalities” really examine themselves and ask if being in that position of refusing the entry of other people to their lives will help them receive the blessings of friendship. As we seek that blessing, it may be useful to examine how the ordinary patterns of discovery and friendship work, and see if we can follow those patterns, but perhaps in a way that is more focused and intentional. As the GOLDEN RULE states: “Do not do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.”

How did our most important friendships come into being? Where were we when we discovered each other? Among the dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people we've met in our lifetime, how is it that some of us are still friends after all these years? And why some too good friends you have enjoyed the company with leave too soon? Friendship doesn’t have much of a chance if only one person is trying hard to keep it. It will get lost in the web of confusion and hurt…so yes, friendship will not get a chance.

I was there at one place on one good night where it was planned to be really good, with people I was already close with, wanted to be close with and one that is yet to meet. We were close-packed that night. Laughter was the proof of enjoyment. It was, after all, a visit that was most welcome. We felt young, was groovy, enjoyed the food and we loved the same music. But nobody from that night has really seen the real me. In fact, they only have seen the other side of me the next morning. What I’m trying to say is that we can spend a lifetime going from one ‘activity’ to another with different people and still be alone the next day to tackle the real person that you are (and for the rest of our lives). Because oftentimes, we act different roles to different personalities. I am spoiled to some people, but I’m the underdog on some…so its basically the way of life…and friendships are meant that way too, there are friendships that are just temporary because you work for the same company, or live at the same place, or go to same activity…but only few people are counted to be your BFF…through thick and thin….indefinitely!

If we think about it, we see that one basic condition for the development of friendship (love-at-first-sight being a wonderful possible exception) is that we keep going back to the same place over time. Meaning if we share something that we both enjoy and do often, that’s how friendships are developed ( same with other relationships)…because those are the way to build memories, and memories are etched in the heart not on wood. So in my case, I think the memories are not yet enough to call it a good friendship, or she may have taken it as part of her bad memories…I really don’t know!

The edges are always there: times when we’re arriving and departing, waiting for the first notes to sound from the organ, coffee after the service. But if you are shy or don’t know how to ‘make time’ in those brief moments, you still might miss the boat. Friendship just like any other relationships is also a give and take situation…And both should commit to be active…But if one wont, or too selfish to open herself up, then it will never work, with ANYONE!

We know that friendship goes far beyond simple attraction and ‘hanging out’. It’s far more complex. Once we discover each other, we still need to pay attention, deepen the invitation, and be good to each other. Friendship is a gift, but once we open the gift, we need to be ‘on purpose’ if friendship is to endure. Friendship is a discovery, not a requirement, and it helps to remember the value of small beginnings. At the outset, we’re not asking for a lifetime commitment.

We can only offer much, we can only be patient too long…but humiliation is an insult and that’s not an ingredient to good friendships…So its best that I let go, Im not saying good riddance…I will just be here…and if the time comes that you are ready to accept me as a TRUE friend, you know how to reach me..

are we really friends?

Just seasonal friends?


just friends for nothing?


are u really my friend?


is there a chance for the friendship?


is this the last time?

The Falling STAR

Anyone of us may face tragedy in her life at one time or the other. Tragedy happens, anywhere, anytime, to anyone….This week end proved that point. The capsizing of M/V Princess of the Stars off the island of Sibuyan is one tragedy that is too personal to our family because one of the 800+ plus is my brother in law EMIL ABREU.

I didn’t even know he was on board in the first place, not until I got a text message from my mom asking me to contact my old company, Sulpicio Lines Inc – the operator of the said vessel. Apparently, the Cebu bound flag vessel of SLI left Manila port on its usual schedule- 8pm of Friday, it was expected to arrive Cebu at 430pm the next day. Since typhoon Fengshen or “Frank” has been lambasting the archipelago with its heavy rains Friday night, there was an immediate fear on my family as to the whereabouts of my brother in law who didn’t arrive home on the expected day.

As a vessel stewardess of the company for 5 years, I am more or less aware of the protocols being observed by the CoastGuard and the operator for different typhoon levels. And since it was Signal #1 when it left Manila, I knew it had the go-signal of the governing agencies…So I had hoped that it just anchored to safety to avoid the ire of “Frank”.. Unfortunately, I had power outage all day yesterday ( Sunday), so my two mobile phones were battery empty, there was no electric, so no way to check on internet and what’s worse, my landline also died…I was exhausted with desperation..

I went to my friend’s house to at least have an access to landline, but it was shortlived coz just minutes after I arrived there, her landline went off too…I couldn’t contact my mom, and my sister who has been crying buckets of tears since Saturday..

Last night, with the power going on and off for couple of times, I kept tuned to the news…locally and internationally just to get information on the survivors and the rescue operation being done to the ill-fated vessel. My brother in laws’ name didn’t surface on that short list.

As of 8am today, I got information that 28 survivors have been accounted for and have been in the care of the municipality mayor of the town where they were found and rescued, but unfortunately EMIL’s name is not in the list…

I could do nothing but pray. I could not do anything but wait…the family could do nothing for now but be there for each other…and yes, this is the tragedy that I mean to say.
This tragedy is beyond our wildest dreams, we always wish it would not happen to us, but it did, and its something that we have not foreseen nor prevented…

I have not slept for two days just thinking about EMIL, my sister Em-Em and their kids…their youngest boy Miko is only 11 or 12 years old…their family is still very young, too sad, too bad!

I cant deny the fact that we are faced with all the worse scenarios…I hope my sister and the family is ready for that....Im an island away from them…making each day a torture..

So to all who has time to read this, I hope you can say a little prayer to the hundreds of people greatly affected by “Fengshen or Frank”…May his force slow down and eventually wear off…Please pray for EMIl, coz that’s the only thing we can do for now….


Take care all..

Friends for LIFE!

Good Friends, Great Company!

You will always be my baby, David Cook!

In The Sun

I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you've seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see in your eyes
‘Cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can’t keep awake

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you

‘Cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You

I don’t know anymore
What it’s for
I’m not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
‘Cause I been caught in between all you wish for and all you need
Maybe you’re not even sure what it’s for
Any more than me

May God’s love be with you
Always
May God’s love be with you


‘Cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You
