The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, good example; to your father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. (A. Balfour)

ayayayayay...i'm too far to be a saint! (mahilangit lang ko, choks na!)

negative thinking and drama are addictive. believe me, it's true. enjoying the drama sometimes could be healthy as it exercises the emotions within us. (so long as we don't end up in jail or in the mental hospital). count me out!

now, think of anybody or somebody you 'unlove' the most. for us, they seemed to be the ugliest, grumpiest, and WTF creature ever! right? now, let's look at ourselves in the mirror. does it look like we need a face lift? a diamond peel? a surgery? or whatever your honor? ahem.. ahem.. ahem..

take note! do those persons whom we are nursing a grudge know that we are thinking about them? do we want them to know how much of our time is devoted to their 'fan club' in our minds? halla!

the only key? ForGivEneSs...(aray!) As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons- desiderata! if we cannot forgive, we are weak for only strong people has the capacity to forgive.

NASAKITAN KAYA JOKEMS! i was hurt. maybe yes, but it was with your consent. right? have we ever thought of the reality that God is always just? it could be that we were hurt but who are we to blame others for things that we've also done? haven't we hurt anyone? how many times have we asked forgiveness to those whom we have offended?

CHUDEZ MAN JUD MALIMTAN! its difficult to forget. maybe yes, but its just a thought. right? and thoughts can be changed.

SEE? it's very simple. for me, i have no right to be resentful because i am an offender myself. if there's a person who made me so angry, i should have understood on the first place. anger could just be a reaction to some unfavorable experience but it should not be a pathway towards ill will and condemnation. its a sin!

there is no benefit in holding a 'burning coal' in our own sinful hands, not a bit! come to think of it. call it quits right now. its the only way and the best way to take revenge to those whom we called 'enemies'.

so i say to those whom i have offended, to those who have my 'fan club' in their minds, and to those who see me as ugly, grumpy, and WTF animal : take a complete revenge on me. NOW NA!

HOPELESS? feels as if you are atlas carrying the world on your shoulders? hmmm...why, who told you to? whatever battle we're into, the bottleneck is always between pursuing or stopping. be it small or big, is it worth the sacrifice? what's the use of holding on for a long time if we just drop everything?

if you've been through this, welcome to the human race. nevertheless, history is only a footnote to help us avoid making the same mistake again. we all learn from the past and it's finite. we should not dwell on it.

always look forward. the future is infinite and we can still do something about it. think positively and believe in yourself. affirm! affirm! affirm! affirmation can still the voice of fear because we can only think of one thing at a time. leave no space for negative thoughts.

turning our backs against any 'hill of trials' is a sign of defeat. we don't want to be a looser. we are all champions since the fetal stage. we should not forgo the gift of life that God gave us.

aren't we God's angels? created with love, pampered with graces and blessings, and assured winners in this game of life.

take a look at the devil. even though they are doomed to fall, they never give up.

if we believe we are destined towards heaven, why give up? as long as our intentions are good, i bet we'll get through any war smoothly and win the battle with victory..

AJA!

always remember to forget
the things that made you sad.
but never forget to remember
the things that made you glad.


always remember to forget
the friends that proved untrue.






but never forget to remember
those that have stuck by you.















always remember to forget
the troubles that passed away.
but never forget to remember
the blessings that come each day.

ME: Thank you sa love. Friends lang jud akong gusto. I believe mao ni ang tama db?

YOU: Kng para semu frends ta, para saq kakilala lng taka.bad3p!

Fine! You make use of all the chances I gave you. I knew all the while since you started flirting, you were just making a fool out of me. Kilala kita, that’s why!

I replied to your text messages because I thought you have that ‘friendly intention’. You always ask for proof that I really love you. Of course, I love you just as I love all my friends. What more could you ask?

I really do not know, who or what, gave you the idea that I would give in to what you want. PS??? It was a big no no! (and will always be!) I told you I am just curious of that particular sin of immorality, but I didn’t mean that I’ll do it or if I would, not with you! (with Renan, yes!)

You said you love me a hundred times. What for? I mean, in exchange of what you want? You called and sent text messages till dawn, threatening me. The next whole day, you say sorry for what you’ve said and done. You did it several times. Anovah! You did not sleep for three days and two nights? (too bad for you, tsk tsk!) While my life goes on with my daily routine in school, you were busy calling and sending text messages to my CP. That’s what you get for not following instructions. You wasted so much of your time.

YOU: Beh I’m sincerely in love wid you. Promiz. Mgkandarapa ba q kng di taka love ha? I love you so much. I love you very much. I love you..

Pagsure oy! You can never convince me. What are these sweet messages for? In exchange of those ‘p*tang ina’ ako? You never heard and will never hear any harsh word from me because I wasn’t mad at you. I condemned what you did but not you. (char!!!) I was just killing you softly by not answering your calls and not replying to your text messages. In that way, I know I’ve made you more upset and for me, it was more than enough! (193 missed calls and 242 unread messages, how’s that? Answered calls and read messages not counted).

All is fair in love and war. Whatever agenda you may have, that’s your problem. You started it? You end it!

If you think I was a fool to believe that you have loved me then, let me tell you that I was more than smart enough to make you believe I did!

LISA MARIE DEL ROSARIO, 25 years old, HRM graduate, working in Singapore for six years, went home in General Santos City for a vacation. She has a long wavy hair, 5’5” in height, and a vital statistics of 34-25- 36. And so, their story goes..

Lisa got Renan’s number from a common friend. She had seen him twice and is willing to be his friend. Lisa is a liberated woman and has an Indian fiancé left in Singapore. She works in three hotels as a front desk supervisor. Living independently and temporarily staying with her Uncle’s family in GenSan, she’s afraid of commitment for having a sister in Dubai who is separated. The Hi’s and Hello’s started it all. Singapore and jobs in Singapore sustained their communication. Then as time passed, the commitment as text mates was established. From text mates to friends, they shared insights about family, their likes and dislikes, their weaknesses and experiences too (family, work, travels, love life).

Eventually, texting became less challenging and expensive so they both agreed to chat. Closeness became very evident. They became intimate friends endlessly sharing ‘anything’ under the sun. Too much familiarity is indeed boring. Cutting the story short, Lisa started it all. Fascinated with her, he also became interested. Loneliness yearns for comfort and for passion. And since they were both lonely (maybe), they found each other. They shared ‘everything’ (as in everything!) using the technology available; in bed, in the bathroom, and wherever their sinful imaginations could reach. Often, the last question both of them ask each other is: ‘HAPPY?’, with a big yes as an answer of course! Passionately, Lisa would always assure him that she would do everything to make him hers, exclusively hers alone. Because of that enduring happiness, the plan to meet personally was set aside.

One time, Lisa dared to call and listened to his moans and etc. Lisa couldn’t help it. The emotions were overwhelming (killing her!). It felt ecstatic yet burns like hell! It was fathomless. Uncovering the mouth piece, she asked softly: Happy? Finally, for the first time he heard her voice over the phone, a very familiar voice. He was suddenly offline. Lisa cried.


It was a few minutes before my 36th birthday. We were chatting earlier until he told me to rest and get ready for my big day, ending our conversation with “I love you and I miss you”. My birthday was welcomed with tears: tears of joy because of my thoughtful room mates who surprised me at exactly 12:01 am and tears of jealousy brought by the ‘joke’ (if i may call it) I started. Call me a fool or crazy as I may seem to be and ask me if I am happy and my answer would still be: yes.

I called Renan. He was speechless. I asked him, “won’t you greet me on my big day?”. With tears in my eyes and a wavering voice, I told him how much I love him and I will do everything to make him mine, ONLY MINE. He couldn’t believe it. I accepted his apology. I apologized too. We talked and renewed our promises till dawn. That’s how we love each other. After all, he fell in love and in lust with the same woman.

lmdelrosario85@yahoo.com? yes Darling, IT WAS ME! ...your wife and at the same time, your mistress!

tHe jOyz & aGonY of tRavELiNg..

thirteen to fourteen long hours of travel is not a joke! swollen legs, backaches, dehydration, headaches, thirst, hunger, sleeplessness or sleepiness (whatever it may be)...

BUT

no room for BOREDOM or tedious dullness!


my body may be surrendering but my heart and brain, NEVER! when i travel, i pray a lot.. although i often sleep on it, i manage to continue despite of the bumps, twists, and fall i always endure.



after each travel, i realize that it was too short for my conversation with HIM. i pray for those i hate - those who offended me intentionally or not. i pray for those who hate me - those i have hurt consciously or unconsciously. i pray for those who care for me - those who told me so that they do and those who did not. i pray for those i cared for - those whom i showed my love and concern and those i forgot to assure. i pray for myself - the 'as if' righteous ME yet full of flaws, the prayerful ME yet weak against temptations, the intelligent ME yet outwitted by the most stupid satan's advocate, the sensitive ME yet unmoved most often by the priest's homily, the talented ME yet busy doing unnecessary things, and the most sinful ME yet always ready to repent, always..




i believe HE doesn't count my prayers and how much time did I spend serving Him and His community. HE LOVES ME FOR WHAT I AM. my prayers were heard. some may not yet be answered but i am waiting because HE KNOWS BEST.


AMEN!? no, not amen yet.. for my prayers were always offered with a warm regards, hugs, and kisses for the first man in my life, my PAPANG. amen? yes, I do believe.. AMEN!
