Friends for Life!


 Thursdays are for GREAT PEOPLE in my life!

WELCOME TO 

"YOU'RE GREAT" 

THURSDAYS!

Today, I am featuring my Better Living Friends!

This was written on November 20, 2006, 6 years and 2 months ago!

I wrote this because, back then, there were plans of friends leaving for the USA soon! Since I was missing them already, I wrote this for them.... not knowing that I would be the one leaving the country in less than a year after it was written!

Read on...
FOR YOU HABLIS GF's. 
 Shores never meet but share the same ocean. 

The moon and stars couldn’t be one but they are in one sky. 

Friends never have to meet often but they never stop being friends…

Got this text message from a dear friend named Claire. She, among with Clarissa, Gizel, Majoy and Mavi has always been like a sister to me.. 

Claire, Gizel, Clarissa

Majoy, Mavi
 Yeah... friendship that has grown stronger.. from playing volleyball to dance intermission numbers at our own home association get togethers, from playing pool to summer swimming, from simple admirations a.k.a. crush to boyfriends.. from blooming late (that’s me) to uneventful Clarissa’s shower party as she was the first one to marry untouched! uneventful for we remained such, good girls, hahaha :) from having boyfriends to tying the knot! to kids! And still from eating to eating and eating! :) We will never run out of stories to share.:)

Time and again, we, I guess, no matter how many tides, waves, eclipses, and what-have-you, will always remain friends.. We may not see each other often, and we are not always complete! Sad fact, in due time, we may only be seeing each other via net, hu hu hu, but

as magical as one summer’s day
when destiny brought us together to play.. (poetic huh?!)
come a time when we’ll be old and gray (it still rhymes..)
I know we’d still be together come what may (ha! Hehehe)
 
I will forever cherish friends like you

.. we are trekking our own courses, setting our own plans, dreaming our own dreams and we are victors in our own right, and yet.. we know we simply are those 15-16 yr old teenagers playing ball in the volleyball court of life..

Sometimes we hit well, sometimes we don’t.

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. 

But we continue to play, slippers and all, 

we continue to strive, 

we continue to be our best for each one, 

because we know we have to keep the ball up no matter what, and yet at times we don’t keep up, at times we are just plain lousy.. but still at the end of it all, 

we all know we’ll still be together eating chami to spaghetti, to Zym’s special to San Mig light, 

to Lucena to Manila to around the world.. Hehehehe

Kudos friends!
 
... Here they are now!

Thank you for being part of my life!

NAMASTE.

    Friends indeed, I must admit I don't have a best friend I was told not to have a best friend by my mom she said just treat them as your siblings or treat them as your family . If you treat them as your family you know how to treat them well . Sometimes there are ups and downs of having friends but i do believe true friend are not only who will be there for you but will tell you the truth for you to be good . True friends wants the best out of you . Most of my friends for keeps we have the same vision and mission which is happiness and greatness . Where I am right now a part of my success is because I have great friends who help me to be where am I supposed to be . They tell me if I'm too much or too lacking of something and I appreciate them for telling me coz how can I improve my life to be more productive and positive in all wagas ways we he he .

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
