How can you tell between a lie & the truth? How can you tell if the person you cared about & been with for a long time is lying to you? Why evade a question when you can just honestly answer to get it over with? Why start a gossip & you can't own it up when faced to face with the gossip victim? When confronted, why not take the responsibility if it's yours?
These are questions bombarding my mind right now. Do you believe in insulting someone else's intellect when lying to them? I do. It's kinda hard to accept that you're being lied to by someone you have grown to trust, love, & care. Do you think a 4-year friendship/relationship is enough to just let a lie pass by? I think once or twice is enough.
I figured I think I am better off alone than be surrounded by people who actually stabs me at the back? Why give genuine friendship when you end up being smothered by malicious stories that you don't even know about?
I am saddened by the situation I am in. Probably just a bit different, but all the same feeling. Brokenhearted? Probably. Disappointed? YES. And that's a big yes. Betrayed? Maybe.
So, again, I question how do you mend a broken heart? How do you build trust if one had lost it? How can a person change for the better if he cannot let go of the past? What does it take for a person to change for the betterment of his future? How can one let go of his vices? How can one change his paradigm? Is there a certain standard, or system, or a step-by-step process to change one's self? Maybe not totally changing the whole you, but reassessing the YOU inside?
How many people have reached this kind of maturity & to how many people had they shared this experience? How many promises should be broken so one person can learn?
I still do not understand the workings of the heart, & the mind. I still cannot reason why God has let these things happen. I still cannot solve the mystery behind life. Why do I feel alone? So empty, yet I try to so hard to fill the void in my heart with people. People who doesn't even care if you exist. People who doesn't even care if you are hurt or not. People who lie because they want to lie. People who lie because they need to lie. People who breaks the friendship I thought there was. I surround myself with material things. But they are just material things that we cannot bring in to the next life.
Do I pray? Yes, I do. But it isn't enough, maybe. I have to ask myself several times what do I see in my faith why I still hold on to it. Why I still hold on to God. The God that I cannot see or feel physically. Is this faith? Probably. I know God is out there somewhere. Believe me, I am no Aethist. I will defend God & his Words no matter what. There are just times that I ask Him. For whatever's going on & why I am experiencing it.
I hope that in time, things will go right again. They say life is not a fairytale. I say, it can be, if we are only willing to take on each other's crosses & give way to each other as much as we can. That way, we take advantage of each other in a good way.
Before celebrated comedian Jack Benny died of pancreatic cancer in October 1974, he arranged one final romantic gesture for his wife of 47 years, Mary Livingstone (pictured with Benny.) Benny left a sum of money to a local florist for one long-stemmed red rose to be delivered to Livingstone every day for the rest of her life. Livingstone, who had performed with Benny throughout most of his career, outlived her husband by nine years.
Baby, look around you Do you think there is still us? I don't want to walk away Because I still believe that we can still repair Whatever we had.
But I want to let you know I can't wait my whole life Wondering what could have been?
Everything seems like a blur I can't see why I still have to hold on Every picture Seems to burn When I look at it..
I'm afraid of not holding your hand Because I might forget The reason why I am still here with you.
When I'm in my room I look up the ceiling and sing a lonely song Looking back how life have been when we were still happy How starting out was still new to us Full of hopes and plans for the future..
Where have all these gone?

A friend of mine was murdered last July 31, 2010. He was found dead in his own room. What was so alarming was, his place was secured. I want to share this because he was also a victim of an online dating gone wrong.
Now I cannot help but be paranoid about the safety of my family. I read a lot of criminal stories at www.crimelibrary.com, and Mark’s brutal death could have made it there if he was in the US. I have watched (and still is) NCIS, CSI, & Bones episodes on cable solving crimes such as this. I’ve read so many criminal/detective stuff pocketbooks way back when I started to learn reading. It was brutal because he was shot at the back of his head and his arm was twisted, too. It’s a sign of a struggle, and it could also mean, more than 1 person was there in the room.
My sister emailed me that someone sent her a message on facebook inviting her to go to a photoshoot with a pre-registration payment. She has aspirations of becoming a model or an actress, and I told her that I would not mind that. And I would definitely not be the one to block her path if she wants to. I support her all the way. It just made me more cautious because it was just an email through Facebook and she has to pay just to be part of a photoshoot that she was INVITED to attend.
So I told her that I don’t mind you following your dreams as long as you’re careful. I reminded her to make sure that my dad’s with her when she goes there, or maybe my aunt or anyone older than her who she trusts and someone she knows who could protect her from harm. I told her to make sure that always inform us or the family or her friends where she goes, what she is doing (especially if she cannot go home early), who she’s with when going out.
I have also advised my younger sister to always text my dad or anyone in the family if she has arrived to where she has to go or if she’s home already. That way, if she went missing, or can’t go home at the usual time, we would likely worry because it would be unusual for her not to let us know where she was or what she was doing. That would definitely ring the bell, and hopefully, save her in case something does happen to her.
I am praying harder for their safety and mine, too. Anything can happen in this world, and we don’t know who’s going to be next. I reminded her of what happened to my friend, Mark. I was really scared for her safety. I don’t want anything to happen to them.
So to all of you, always remind your love ones of their safety and what they should do. There’s nothing wrong with having fun and going out with friends as long as your family is well informed.
So don’t take it the wrong way if our parents, grandparents, older sisters/brothers, aunts, uncles are very protective of us. It’s not only a conscience issue, but the thought of losing you would definitely affect them. It only shows how much they love us.
I know I can’t protect them all the time, but at least I could put caution in their minds. And I pray and hope to God that they will always be safe and healthy, and happy. Click on theThings To Remember link to give you more tips on being safe when dating online.
Making a lot of money working at a job you hate is not worth the money!! I recently quit a job I hated in the pursuit of happiness. Being stuck with a job you hate is an awful place to be. I was stuck in a mundane atmosphere that offered little variety in day-to-day tasks.
I was bored, un-stimulated, and un-motivated. I did not work through four years of college to sit in a cubicle to be a pencil pusher. I needed a lively environment where my creativity could thrive. I always had a passion for writing and knew that in order to be happy I had to pursue something that interested me.
My dad told me that everyone is supposed to hate his or her first job, BUT WHY? [Read More...]
Sunscreen, or most commonly called assunblock, suntan lotion, sunburn cream, sun cream
Function: Protects you from the sun's harmful UV rays.
Benefits:
Protects you from skin-related diseases such as skin cancer
Prevents skin discoloration and brown spots on the face
Slows down the ageing process of your skin so you look younger, longer
Protects your skin from sunburns, which happens if you have been exposed to the sun for a longer period if time and this can actually contribute to ageing of the skin/wrinkled skin, and skin cancer
Now, let's watch this video and see what's the difference between not using a sunscreen versus using one.
I wanted to re-post this. It is so touching to hear this from a man. Hoping that every man will realize this because that's what it means when they say "A Happy Wife is A Happy Life." It's not being under the control of women, but the real meaning of the saying is that if you make your woman happy, you'll be getting more than what you have expected and never would you have imagined how it would be if a woman is very happy in your arms.

Wise words. Brad Pitt about his Lady:
“My girl got sick. She was constantly nervous because of problems at work, personal life, her failures and children. She lost 30 pounds and weighted about 90 pounds. She got very skinny and was constantly crying. She was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs. She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the mornings and got tired very quickly during the day. Our relationship was on the verge of a break up. Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bags under her eyes, she was poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself. She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role. I lost hope and thought that we’ll get separated soon… But then I decided to act. After all I’ve got the MOST Beautiful Woman on earth. She is the idol of more than half of men and women on earth, and I was the one allowed to fall asleep next to her and to hug her. I began to shower her with flowers, kisses and compliments. I surprised and pleased her every minute. I gave her a lot of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her own and our mutual friends. You won’t believe it, but she blossomed. She became better. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much.
And then I realized one thing: the woman is the reflection of her man.
If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it.”
I saw the ICE Bucket Challenge on the internet, and I didn't mind it.
I heard that celebrities are doing it, I definitely didn't want to hear about it.
I heard that they're doing it for a famous athlete, Pete Frates, but still that did not get my attention.
My first thought was, another crazy stunts from celebrities just to get famous.
My friends on Facebook are even posting about it.
I got curious, so I looked it up. I still didn't understand why such a challenge existed and became popular.
Finally, I logged out of my AOL account and found a video in the website that interested me, the headline said something about a guy who cried over it.
And yes, the video did surprised me. I found out the reason why they're doing it.
It looks fun doing the challenge, and challenging other famous or powerful people to do it, but it has a more serious note about it.
Watch the whole video below to find out how serious ALS is, and why this guy actually appreciated that celebrities are raising awareness about it.
ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. In England and Australia, they call it MND or Motor Neuron Disease. It paralyzes the body little by little, until you can't use any parts of your body anymore because they aren't strong enough to move. Somebody has to do it for you, and that somebody has to be really patient.
According to www.alsa.org, "As motor neurons degenerate, they can no longer send impulses to the muscle fibers that normally result in muscle movement."
To learn more about it, you can visit their site at ALSA.
It seems that Lou Gehrig was the first famous person who got diagnosed with such disease. He is an American baseball baseman for the New York Yankees from 1923-1939. He was famous in his time because of "his prowess as a hitter and his durability" (according to Wikipedia). There was a decline on his physical ability to play, and everyone noticed it, but they didn't know why. Only when his wife, Eleanor, called the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, and Gehrig flew in there that they found out what the disease was.
Lou Gehrig
Pete Frates, was the inspiration behind the Ice Bucket Challenge. He was a former college baseball star, and lost his voice because of ALS, and it seems that this disease has no cure yet. Because of the ICE Bucket Challenge, awareness about ALS has been raised by celebrities and more funding has been provided for this disease. Pete also is supported by friends, fans, and family and you can visit his website http://petefrates.com/ for any updates about him and his disease.

Anthony, was the guy who cried in the video above. He has been diagnosed of ALS, and it seems that the disease runs in the family. Her grandmother died of it, and her mother has it for 10 years now. You can visit his website at http://anthonycarbajal.com/2014/05/i-have-als/, and check out his story.
This is Anthony Carbajal, the guy on the video above.
There are a lot of arguments everywhere about what true love is. We have grown in a world where sex and love are mixed in together that sometimes they really couldn’t distinguish if it was really love. Blessed are those who stayed in love even after having sex before marriage, and getting married afterwards.
Aside from our own family, we also have our friends to share our life with. They know who our first boyfriend was, our heartaches, our craziness, the stupid stuff we did, laugh trips, food trips, and whatever is going on with your life right now, they are one of the people you can trust with your secrets.
Can you still remember how you met your best friend?
How about your childhood friends?

"As we grow up, we realize it is less important to have lots of friends, and more important to have real ones."
In a relationship, we find that we aren't happy anymore and there are a couple of reasons why. Sometimes, we confuse ourselves on why we stay in a relationship. You might want to assess yourself if you’re still the same person before you met this person in your life, and after you have been together for how many years now.
What were the questions that guided me to find out if I should stay or if I should let go?I have definitely opened my heart through this blog

Do you love to read? I do, too!
Do you have a list of books that you wanted to read? I do, too, but it seems that the list is endless!
When I was younger, my favorite subject was where I could read so many different stories! It takes me to a whole new world, just imagining what the writer has described. I can read even without pictures on them. I always had a little fun just running the characters in my head and how the scene would look like.

Get to know them at a more personal level. Nowadays, people rely on social sites to get to know a person. They see their status posted every day, pictures of what they do. Surprisingly, you’ll find out that they have more to give and share than what you see in Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitter, etc. You’ll find out what their dreams are, their plans, how they really feel, what is their stand on politics, sexuality, faith, and many others.
Here are 5 simple steps that you can try:
1) Eat out. There’s nothing like breaking the ice by eating out, and have a cup of coffee afterwards. Just by eating lets you know where they eat, what type of food they’d go for, if they’re picky about food. With this simple step, you already have a simple idea of the kind of person you’re getting to know.
2) Do an activity together. Call them up, and ask if they want to go to the beach, paint, volunteer, go to the gym, the list is endless! You just have to be prepared for whatever answer they’re going to give you. By doing this, they might even suggest something out of the blue that you have tried before, and you’re in for a great experience!’
3) Meet their family. You don’t really have to be upfront about it. Just by simply saying, “Hey, can I go over to your place? I’m bored.” Chances are, they’ll say yes. Not everyone in the family might be at home, but eventually you will meet them all and find out the reason why you’re friend loves this and that, or why she doesn’t want to do this. You’ll see another side of your friend that might interest you, and usually this gives you more reason to become their friend, and be there for them.
4) Talk. Real friends talk over a lot of things. It can be anything, from the craziest ideas to the most serious type of conversation. When you eat out or talk, make it a point not to hold on to your phone, iPad, or what have you. You don’t want to miss out on what your friend is actually saying to you. For calls from your parents, or something important, of course you can excuse yourself for a while and answer your phone. You know what we mean right?
5) Be yourself. In this age, we usually don’t reveal who we really are because we’re afraid that they might not like us, or they’d judge you. But hey, it’s worth it. At the end of the day, they’ll know that you’re being real, no pretensions, and they can trust you more than anybody else.
