Man...

Yup... I remember the words of one the coolest dudes that I've ever known, "When there's a meeting, there's always parting..." Well, it seems so true... I don't really know what's in my mind now...

Separation Anxiety...

Man...it's really a heartache to see all your close friends leaving... Really hope I can have someone to bear this with me...

Out of my head...

....Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find....

4 lines to ponder on this Easter...

Look back, and thank God;
Look forward, and trust God;
Look around, and serve God;
Look inside, and find God

And the prices of tickets are high even if they are going to have anything here....Erg....

Value

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar bill up.

He then asked, Who still wants it? Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, What if I do this. And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled, and dirty. Now who still wants it? Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by, who we are.

You are special - Don't ever forget it.

The Water Bearer

A Water Bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure it spoke to the Water Bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologise to you". "Why?" asked the bearer, "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.

The Water Bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it some.

But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them.

For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house."

---

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. Some of us are old, some not so smart, some fat, some bald, some physically challenged, but it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. There is a lot of good out there. There is a lot of good in you! Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life!

Or as I like to think of it, if it wasn't for the crackpots in my life, it would be pretty boring....

The Butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.

So, the man decided to help the butterfly, he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But, it had a swollen body, and small shrivelled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly, because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings. It was never able to fly.

What he had done in his well intentioned kindness and haste, he did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get through the tiny opening were the only way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Have a great day, great life, and struggle a little. Then fly!!!

The cross

A young man was at the end of his rope, seeing no way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish." The man was filled with relief and said, "Thank you Lord," and he did as he was told.

Upon entering the other room, he saw many crosses; some so large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall.

"I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered.

The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.

Your Cross
Whatever your cross
Whatever your pain
There will always be sunshine
After the rain

Experience, learn and move on...

"Life is many things at different times . . . from interesting, exciting, surprising and challenging, to frustrating, discouraging, stressful, and extremely sad. But we learn from every experience, good or bad, and move on from there."

Found these when I was lookin for stuff about life lessons...

"Life is all memory except for the one present moment that goes by so quick you can hardly catch it going."

- Tennessee Williams

Good stuff that we can ponder on....Exploring the meaning beneath the statements...

Yup..you're right..that's not my hand. It's the album art of one of System of a Down's album.. Whoa...and notice the 'OF's that I used in the previous statement...

Hmmm...

Hehe...Dunno whether I'm tryin to be emotional or what.. I'm suffocatin coz of my own feelings..It hurts not the bone...but deeper than that...it hurts the heart...Wow... =?

Perfect?

Well...Just thought of something and I really wanna write my head out...haha. Man, when I think of me..i remember and always see myself as a perfectionist. I just feel like doing things the right way, just to benefit myself in the end. I can't accept failures at times, critical at other moments.. Seems like it's started to change though. Yes i know i want to be perfect..but then is that even possible? My strength? Me? You must have been kiddin..I mean i must have been dreaming.. How can that be? Er.. good things don't happen to me all the time. It's never meant to be that way. It always depends how we people look at things. How to define perfect? Why perfect? Well that are some questions that made me thinking..But one thing i know is that God is perfect and the way he created things made this live even more interesting. Ok that's about it. By makin myself perfect isn't enough. It is a better thing to do..to help others being perfect , in the sense that they feel that their accepted. It is being accepted and loved, that one will feel that he/she is perfect. Can perfecting myself make changes in the world while I neglect other? If I'm being left out in things, i wouldn't even understand what is to be perfect. The human psychology is that when you feel that you are being loved, you will gain self esteem. What can I do with my perfectness if no one is interested and paying attention. It's like being perfect in vain. Hahaha...Seriously.. We live not for ourselves, but live together as a whole. I remember a priest saying this, "We die in Christ, but live for the sake of the people." What's the true meaning of him saying this? Worth thinkin. Thinkin with an open mind is vital. In that way I think i won't simply judge knowing that as humans we will succeed sometimes, and fail probably for many times in our attempts to make this world a better place, to make this live worth living for ourselves and for others. What I'm gonna write down next may sound a lil funny, but why not? I think it's not necessary for us to do the right things at the right time all the time. Doing right things at the wrong time, wrong things at the right time, and wrong things at the wrong times seems quite normal. Who are we to say, "Well, this is the right timing to do this....wrong timing for that..." In fact we don't quite know what time is right and what time is wrong. As long as we try, i think it's good. Cool. Ya...And one thing...we all learn together to seek the Truth...coz all truth leads to a greater Truth. Cool again..Yea!
Comments please..kekeke...=P

Papa Roach - Sometimes

One of the songs that I always liked...Guess this is the cry of the singer...

Lyrics:

I’m dreaming about tomorrow
I’m thinking of yesterday
I consume myself in sorrow
This moment in time
Is what I betray
I am searching for the answers

And I look around
Sometimes I get sad
Cause I don’t know which way to go
And I look around
And sometimes I get sad
Cause my life is spinning out of control

I never know what you want
I never know what you need
It was different
From the start
When you cut me in two
I never thought I would bleed
I am searching for the answers

I will go this alone
I don’t need nobody’s help
I’ve gotta do this myself
Alone, alone, alone, alone

How have we been treating people?

Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..

It read:
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.


In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
