My Weekend Journal

I am feeling a little bit lazy today. The time is dragging slowly, a perfect moment to indulge myself to some "luxuries" of a couch potato and while away the hours listening to music. Music has always been a part of my life. It is the "other half" of every memorable experience. Let me share some music that I cherish on every phase I went through when I was still young and in love. My First Love We were on a beach, sitting on the sand, while peacefully watching the sunset. Some friends came over with a guitar, picnic mat and finger foods. We laughingly sing this song under the beautiful rays of sunset - a beautiful scene - a wonderful work of art. Total Eclipse of the Heart Next >> My First Broken Heart

I missed the fun last Saturday. The group went to Hidden Paradise for a weekend escapade. I really would love to go and see why they call the place Hidden Paradise but I have to stay home and take care of my four-month-old baby. Hubby joined the party together with our two kids. I am glad hubby took our kids. I do not want them to miss the experience. From the look on their faces when they came home, I figured they had lots of fun. Though they look tired, they were still in for a story marathon. What they did not like on the place was the rough side of the swimming pools that left scratches on their feet. Hidden Paradise Escapade Welcome to Hidden Paradise! LOVERS IN PAR ad I S e Nine years of being married to hubby did not give me a hint that he also loves guys! LOL!

Thank God, it's Friday! This is my favorite day. Aside from it being the last working day of the week, we have free snacks courtesy of our generous Executive Officers. Today, we have ice cream and cupcakes. What is so special today? We are celebrating a friend's birthday! Happy Birthday, Junele! Our happiness would have been complete if only some of our colleagues and friends were not leaving the company. We have been working together for more than three years. We may have transferred from one department to another but the silent bond is still there. I really hate goodbyes. Where is the good in goodbye? I much prefer saying, "See you soon!" because I am still holding on to the hope of meeting them again in the future. "May you always have work for your hands to do; May your pockets always hold a coin or two; May the sun shine bright on your windowpane; May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you, And may...

We cannot recover four things in life. From these things we learn, we grow, we live. "I've spent my life running from the emptiness that haunts me And I've spent my whole life trying to ease the loneliness away And I die inside when I think of all the people that I've damaged I'm tired, I'm so tired and there's no one else except myself to blame" The stone … … after the throw! "My life's been wasted, everything is gone". Was there a time in your life when you have everything, wasted it, and now left with nothing but regrets? When you have the power, but abused it and now, you cannot take over. When once you were famous but became egomaniac and insufferable and all the people who were head over heels with you would spit on your face if given a chance? Value what you have now before you end up craving for them when they were lost. The word … … after it's said! Have you ever been wounded by words? I have, and most...

Three weeks after giving birth, I had rashes all over my body. At first, I noticed some red spots on my back and thought those were only insect bites. But later on the day, the spots spread to my legs, arms, neck, face and stomach; and eventually, they are all over my body! They itch really bad I could hardly sleep. My OB-Gyne advised me to see a dermatologist. The doctor diagnosed those rashes to be due to allergies. But I'm not allergic to anything. This is the first time I ever had such skin rashes since birth. The doctor could not point out what caused my allergies but prescribed anti-allergy medication anyway. Three days after taking the anti-allergy medicines, the spots gradually disappeared but the cause was still unknown. Back Legs Neck

All Souls Day is a very special day dedicated to our loved ones who passed away. We come back to our hometown to pay respect to our dead loved-ones. This is our chance to visit their graves and show our love by offering flowers, candle, food, and the most important, prayers. All Souls Day is also a reunion among both the living and the dead. Most families keep a vigil in cemeteries and/or memorial parks. They play card games, board games, name games, sungka and other games they could think of. Some would even sing in karaokes and videokes. Why do we put candles on their graves when there are already lamps? I believe that the lights from the lamps guide the ways of the living while the lights from the candles guide the ways of the souls of our dead loved-ones to heaven. Why do we offer food when the dead could not eat anymore? This is a pagan belief that the souls of the dead would return for a meal with the family. Obviously, the dead could not take food anymore - a...

Wow, you have to see this one! A mere five-year-old doing body building exercise. Look at the Six-Pack Abs any man would envy! Giuliano Stroe is incredible! As I was watching the video, I just could not utter any other words but WOW! Giuliano Stroe is very AWESOME! "Giuliano Stroe is the 5-year-old weightlifter from Romania who set a Guinness World Record for the fastest 10-meter walk with the weight on his arms. The 5-year-old trains in weightlifting and gymnastics, a popular sports in Romania." He enjoys doing the stunts as if he was just only playing. I could not even finish three push-ups, what more the acrobats that he so easily performed! My seven-year-old son could not even perfect a cartwheel. I do not know if what he is doing is healthy for a very young age. Health experts - what can you say? A five-year-old doing those heavy exercise worries me but he seems so happy. I just wish there would be no complications on his growth, as he gets older.
