The One about Hunger and Hope.
April 28, 2009When you eat a lot and throw away the excess, do you think about the people who aren’t able to eat? Do you think about these people who would do everything just to have a speck of what you have? Someone would even kill to just ahve food to eat for a day and we just throw it away.
So, how can we help? What can we do?
We can join organizations that cater to countries or groups that experience hunger.
We can donate a little amount of money to these organizations.
We can conduct our own feeding programs in public schools and slums.
We can just take the exact food we will eat so we won’t have excess or if ever we will have excess, keep it in the fridge, or give it to the beggars by the street.
Simple things can make a change.
Helping out can make a change.
If we can do these, we can help others. And by our helping hands, we can change lives. Our simple acts can give hope to other people. it can serve as an inspiration for others to take time and also help. By doing a chain reaction, we can solve these problems, and we can help the less fortunate to have a brighter future and a more positive view in life.
Start with something small and work your way to something even bigger!
The One about Earth Day
April 21, 2009tomorrow is Earth Day and it will also be the day that macCrazy, our MacBook, would be going to the apple store to be fixed, one USB port isn’t working… aww… anyway, i just came back from a beach trip with my family and there i saw the beauty and marvel of our planet.
——————————————————————
Our planet is our source of shelter, food, clothing, and all our other necessities. we couldn’t live without the trees around us, the animals in the wild, the plants, the fresh clear waters, and the vast deep oceans. these simple things around us supply our needs everyday. we can get paper from trees, food from the animals, water from drinking, and oxygen from the plants. But now, we tend to take these for granted. If we don’t stop now, soon we’ll be suffering greatly.
how can we help save mother nature?
there are a lot of ways! for example, we can reuse one-sided papers for scratch, or we can even make our own apers from these. the plastic bottles we get from softdrinks and canisters, we can use it as plant pots, just decorate it the way you like and display! we can lessen the water consumption by limiting our use of it. when we wash cars, use water and bucket instead of a hose, this way we can limit the consumption of water. and also, by simply turning off the lights and other appliances, when not in use, is one great way to preserve energy!:D
Join us in making our world a better place!
spread the word, spread the love.

The One about deaths and new beginnings
April 19, 2009Life, it is the most wonderful gift God has given us. We treasure it so much that sometimes we become vain and self-conscious. But sometimes we tend to value possessions more than ourselves. God gave us the responsibility to be able to show others that they are accepted and loved no matter how they look and what they are. Our looks are just skin deep and waht we should value more is our inner selves.
”What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
We all know that and that quotation, from Antione de Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince, summarizes everything. Looks can fade away, but who you are does not. we all just need to accept the fact that there are people who are better than us. yes, that’s the relaity of life. it is unfair, unjust, and we can’t win it all. Sometimes we just have to trust ourselves. We shouldn’t take things for granted. we should value and treasure every second we have. We won’t live forever.
————————————
Today, i saw 4 wakes and 2 funerals. It just occured to me how much people tend to overlook the precious life God has given us. Yes, He just lent us our lives, but we should take care of it. Some people just do what they want and when death comes, they start to point everything to someone else. on the other hand, some people are just not lucky. some are sick with incurable cancer, and some are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Death will come. It won’t remind us. It won’t tell us. Anytime, anywhere it can come.
so, i wrote this entry to tell everyone reading this to ponder on these questions:
Do your parents, friends, siblings, relatives know that you love them? have you thanked them in anyway for anything that they have given or done to you? have you asked for forgiveness form the people you’ve hurt and forgive the people who hurt you?
these things can help. it isn’t nice to hold grudges and the thoughts of what if’s and what not’s… regret, it might happen to you.
so take time to enjoy life and make sure you tell others how you really feel. it’s good for you and it’ll bring a smile on someone else’s life.
spread the love!:D
PS: i really do not know how to write a meaningful and awesome entry, but hey i tried.

The One about falling in love
April 5, 2009Awww love, isn’t it the most wonderful thing in the whole while world? we can express it the way we want. some sing, some paint, some draw, some write, and some even dance. Love is the greatest feeling that one can have, it is a gift from God tahat we should share with other people. If you watched Moulin Rouge, you’ll remember this line: “To love, and to be loved in return…” Love is a feeling that should be reciprocated. Even though sometimes, there are instances where we love, and be rejected. but somehow we don’t lose hope becuse being in love is great. and the feeling of being rejected may hiurt, but the feeling of love is still there and sometimes, we just hold on, because we know that even if the person we love doesn’t love us, we are happy just beingwith them. it may sound stupid and all, but isnt it true?
No one can live without loving.
i’d like to share with you wht Mew said in the movie, the Love of Siam because sometimes we have these inclination in our minds. these questions that we want to be answered. this was the part where Mew and Tong were talking while lying in bed.:
“Frigtheningly lonely… It’s like when we were younger, we were so lonely because we didn’t have a lot of friends. And now that we are grown ups, loneliness seems, just so much worse. I don’t know how to explain it… So I have one question. If we can love someone so much how will we be able to handle it the one day when we are separated? And, if being separated is a part of life and you know about separation well. Is it possible Tong, that we can love someone and never be afraid of losing them? At the same time, I was wondering. Is it possible that, we can live our entire life without loving anyone at all? That’s my loneliness.”
Love maybe hard at times, but there is no way that we live without loving someone. sometimes, we just need to wait, and the right one will come at the right time.:D

Throw The List Away by Trading Voices
Don’t be shy
were the words
your very first
and got you pegged as a typical guy
you’re not the type of guy that I go for
follow me so I can show you the door
I thought I knew you right from the start
but you were more then I was ready for
so quick to disarm
by the end of the night
you were doing alright
guard down, attention caught
with a sense of humor and a little sweet talk
I pulled the list from my pocket and checked it twice
it’s got everything I want
so I don’t roll the dice
qualifications for the man I chose
and not a single one reminds me of you
wish that I could get you out of my head
you are everything I never knew I wanted
I could waste everday with you
want to run
giving up instead
you are everything I never knew I wanted
now I’m stuck and in love with you
A late night on the town is a girl’s best friend
but you’re in bed by a quarter to 10
I like em clean with a touch of cologne
you have a stain on every shirt you own
I walk when you run
you begin when I’m done
O how I could count the ways
your gonna drive me crazy every single day
but I would never change a thing
I’d rather see what the future brings
and to think that I almost passed you by
I knew what I wanted
set in my ways
but you opened up my eyes
and you shook me awake
I felt your embrace
and I threw the list away
—————————————
awwww love, why do you have to be so hard to please?
