The art of Letting Go....

I was surfing the internet and found this cute story about a girl who learn the art of letting go.For some letting go of someone is an easy process as eating a piece of cake but for others including myself this is a painful process that it's hard to overcome. I know myself more that anything else and I know if I have to let go of someone this could be a very difficult process and it took me years to move on from the glimpse of memories.When I read this story somehow it made me realized, that in life you have to face that fact that some things doesn't last forever. You have to let it go and continue exploring life. To let go is not to deny but to accept. To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and to live for the future. To let go is to fear less and to love more.Although it's painful but beneficial for us... Whenever I go people keep on telling me that "things happens for a reason", yeah I know things happens for a reason...I may never know why these things happened in my life now but I'm sure someday at the right time it will be answered and it all make sense.

Here's the story...

Letting Go Author:Dee Edgett
There was once a lonely girl who longed desperately for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving song birds. She took them home and put them in a small glided cage. She nurtured them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a marvellous song. The girl felt great love for the birds. She wanted their singing to last forever.One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl watched anxiously as he circled high above her. She was so frightened that he would fly away and she would never see him again that as he flew close, she grasped at him wildly. She caught him in her fist. She clutched him tightly within her hand. Her heart gladened at her sucess in capturing him. Suddenly she felt the bird go limp. She opened her hand stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate clutching love had killed him.She noticed the other bird teteering on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. His need to soar into the clear, blue sky. She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times.The girl watched delighted at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest melody, she had ever heard.

***The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tight, the best way to keep love is to give it -- WINGS!***

Asked from God....

I asked God to take away my pain.
God said "No...It is not for Me to take away, but for you to give it up."

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said "No...His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said "No...Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned."

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said "No...I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said "No...Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to Me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said "No...You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful."

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said "No...I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things."

I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said "Ahhhh...finally you have the idea.

THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY May God Bless You. To the world you might be one person, But to one person you just might be the world. muah everyone...

What a feeling....

I was browsing the internet and found this interesting quote.

“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.” -Mary Manin Morrissey-

I don't know how to do that, but I'm trying...hahay what a stupid love.....

A weekend bond with my mum and pops...

"I called it a Saturday of Japanese Food and Dark Night Movie bond."

Saturday me and my parents has a little bonding moments, unfortunately my little brother was not there cause he wants to play he's online game (RF).He's addicted to that game but he refuse to admit that...he rephrase the word "addicted" to "hobby only"..ok bro that's a very good excuse .Well just the three of us bond at NCCC Mall we shop and have some grocery after that we dine in at Rai Rai Ken...("gush last week I'm dying to eat Japanese food in fact I ask my officemates to dine in at Rai Rai Ken but they refuse it "), by the way pops doesn't want to eat there but since I have a power in convincing people, do you think he has a choice?"Thanks Pops!"...Bento meal is one of the dish that I love in Japanese, cause everything is in there.

I order a salmon bento it consist of Grilled Salmon, Teriyaki w/ California Maki, Yakisoba and Japanese rice.



While Mum and Pops order Chicken Teppan Bento it consist of Chicken Teppan, Ika ring and age gyoza with Japanese rice and Moyashi Itame.



After our scrumptious meal Pop's decided to go home, I know he's already tired.Well me and mum go to cinema to watch "Dark Knight", ok let me going straight I'm not a huge Batman fan, I like superman more but I'm a Spider-man fanatic.But when I was a kid I got a chance to watch Batman's cartoon series then in justice league, from cartoons down to movie screen..Am I considered as a fanatic?nope there's no other choice that time...

The main reason why I wanted to watch this movie it's because of Heath Ledger I'm kinda intrigue about he's last movie appearance.The last time I saw him is in "Casanova", he's really hot in that movie...take note very "HOT", well right now in "Dark Knight" movie I know I will see the other side of Heath play as "Joker" known as a wicked man, a certified villain. I'm very excited to watch it, after paying I grab mum and hurry to go inside..hahaha "sorry ma". Well inside I though we can't find a place to sit because of the large crowd, good thing I saw two vacant sits I know it was intended for us. Upon watching this movies all I can say is a big "WOW" it leaves my mouth open while watching it, I'm not being exaggerated here but this movie leaves me breathless.No doubt that this movie reaches $155.3 million this weekend only Click here.

"Dark Night" is far more good that "Batman Begins" and other batman movies before. Christian Bale plays the role of Bruce Wayne a.k.a "Batman" did a good job in this film, one of he's movie that I like is "American Psycho" which is very terrifying for me. Back to Dark Knight all the cast did there job well, an applause to that!But Heath Ledger really took my breath away an applause with a salute for you Heath. Now I know why Heath has a troubled in sleeping while doing this film. Playing as a "Joker" gives you an agitated emotion, me as a viewer scares me for a while.Heath Ledger proves to the viewer that he can do something, besides from being just an apple of the eye. He proves that he's last performance is "The greatest performance of he's life". I really enjoy the movie and for some people who didn't watch it yet, I guarantee you it's worth a penny.

I'm the new model of "Dark Night" now / Me and Mum inside the cinema


***For the plot of the movie Click here and for the thriller Click here...*** I don't want to make a review for this movie cause this blog is not intended for that and I want all of you to watch that movie in the big screen....

Now I know....

Yesterday I really felt restless I thought I have a fever coming. My friends keep on throwing jokes at me, but it seems that my mind and body don't want to cooperate so I ignore them..hahaha sorry guys. The other day while talking to mads Jo forwarded this message to me "Even though school monopolizes my daily life, I still try to find time to socialize. I feel pretty fortunate because of recent events. I truly feel I’ve encountered an amazing person. Although my relationship with this person may be unconventional at best, I have a good feeling about it all. Even though we’re faced with obstacles, I put faith in trust in her and this relationship & I know that somehow it’ll all work out. I love you. With that being said, I think I’ll end this entry." ....upon reading that message the pain that I hide inside burst once again , I never expected to read that line("Ikaw gyud mads ha...."). That message wrote by my so called "ex-lover", he wrote that in he's blog before. Actually it's my fault also cause I didn't erase he's blog in my blog roll. Wanna know the reason why? even mads jo ask me that and I told her "I don't want to erase he's blog cause that's the only thing that it reminds me that once in my life I fall in love and be love by the man that I really wanted in my life and it reminds me that once I become stupid but contented"***sigh***.

I though I'll get over with this emotion, but it wasn't I guess I'm just a great pretender after all.. yes I am! A girl who can manage to smile to everyone even she's broken inside...I really hate this feeling I wish I could go to some place that no one knows me...far from this place, a place that I could do everything..hahahy..As much as possible I don't want to post an emo post in my blog, but sorry guys I just can't help it...And I just realized yesterday is 16....it's our monthsary date, know I know why I felt that way yesterday....."I really miss him, if I can turn back time I will...shout up brey...hahay", but I know it's really over for us. I don't want my hope ups in something that will never ought to happened...."I really hate memories specially the happy ones it's make you sad whenever you think about it, cause you know in your heart that it will never happened again...Moving on is the only solution for this thing, I know its hard but I have to.....
Why it so hard to move on?arrgg...

“When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.” Tom Robbins

Miss Venezuela won the Miss Universe 2008 title and Miss USA slipped again?

Miss Universe is an annual international beauty contest run by the Miss Universe Organization. The fabulous beauty pageant held in Vietnam, this year the Miss Universe 2008 crown goes to Miss Venezuela (Dayana Mendoza). From the beginning until the end of the pageant this lad become the favorite among the candidates. With her stand-out beauty and a wit, no doubt that the crown is right for her.

**Here's some facts about her courtesy from Miss.Universe.com:
-What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
Interior design, photography, advertising, and I enjoy meeting people from every country and learning languages.

-What is your career ambition?
Interior Design and also advertising but as Oscar Wilde used to say, "To define oneself is to limit oneself".

-What is your proudest personal accomplishment?
Being independent from the age of fifteen on, living in different countries by myself without knowing the language at the beginning and without the presence of my parents. Having succeeded in working in different cultures and learning the most from them.

-What is something unique that has happened to you; some interesting thing about you? I was once kidnapped, in what in my country is known as an express kidnapping. It was a very hard experience. I learned to remain calm in a very stressful situation and to try to reach to the human part of our abductors.

-What do you want the judges to know about you?
I am grateful to life for my family and for the opportunities to grow in different places and learn the most from them. Even in the hardest of times what my family and life has taught me has helped me push through and succeed.

Upon witnessing this event for two consecutive years I have this few questions in my mind and it's bugging me..lol.Why is it Miss USA candidates have the habit of slipping on stage? Miss USA Crystle Stewart candidate for Miss Universe 2008 and Miss USA Rachel Smith candidate last year falls down also...hmmm Does history repeat itself?Is there something the way they walk or the shoes they wear during the pageant?My friend James told me maybe the terrorist, put something on their shoes, so that billions of people who witnessed the event mock or scorn USA, that's silly James...hahaha...or maybe this two lad is flat footed like me...What do you think James?..hmmmm

Maybe I can let them barrow my Cinderella shoes so that they can avoid this thing...joke....I really wonder, don't you?Here's some of there photos and videos during there falling moments.

Wu Chun and Calvin Chen in Philippines.....

I though staying at home in weekend bores me, but it didn't I'm so happy I saw Wu Chun on T.V...He's in Manila he arrived Saturday afternoon together with Calvin Chen for a promotional tour of their hit afternoon series "Romantic Princess" currently airing on ABS-CBN, but fortunately I already finish that series...("hahay if I know this earlier I might go to Manila to see him in person...suya ning ABS was ni text daan...hahaha"). He's really cute and charming I wish in the future I'll be able to meet him in person, well he promised to visit Philippines again to have a concert tour with he's band Fahrenheit.

***Here's some of the conversation they have in the press conference...


*Among all the Asian heartthrobs who came here in the past, Chun and Calvin were the ones who are most well-informed about Philippines. Indeed, they revealed that this is not their first visit in the country.
“I know a lot. Because I run a health club in Brunei and almost 80% of my staff are from the Philippines. That's why I come here every now and then to interview (applicants). And I (have tried) mango ice cream and yema ice cream when I was like 6-years-old. Because there are a lot of Filipinos in Brunei, I get to eat the ice-cream,” said Chun, who was born and raised in Brunei.
Calvin on the other hand was able to visit Philippines once for vacation. “I came here like 10 years ago with my family because I know there are so many places in the Philippines which are good for resorts and trips. One of my friends also came here just last week. And I remember when I was a kid the seafood here was pretty nice and very yummy!” he exclaimed.

*When asked if they knew that they are very popular among the Filipinos,.
Calvin replied that they didn’t. In fact, they were quite worried that only a selected few would be waiting for their arrival.
Chun further explained, “When we have activities in other countries, sometimes there are fans from the Philippines who write letters for us and say, ‘Hey, come to the Philippines! You have a lot of fans here.’ But we were not sure how many. And now that we’re here, were really happy to see that a lot of people are really supporting our drama. And we thank ABS-CBN and GTN for this opportunity.”

*In "Romantic Princess", Calvin is a happy-go-lucky flirt who never had a serious relationship while Chun is cast as the responsible type.
Hence, Calvin quickly set the record straight about his personality off-cam.“I have to say that I’m not a playboy in real life. I’m outgoing in real life but I’m not a playboy. I don’t fool around between girls. And when I found my true love I will be really serious,” he stressed.
Chun on the other hand revealed that he shared lots of similarities with his character in the story. “In the drama, Jin worked very hard for his career and he's willing to leave his family and go on his own. And this kind of direction is what I’m doing right now.”

*With their drop-dead gorgeous looks, charming smile, and well-built frame, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Chun and Calvin are taken. But it seems that even in their late 20’s, it would be a long time before they get themselves a steady girlfriend.“No time to date. Our company would say, ‘You can have a girlfriend, we don’t mind.’ But you know, with our (hectic schedule), there's no time for us to have a girlfriend at all,” Chun laughingly shared.

***P.S: Joy punta tayo sa concert ha..hahaha...save money...muah
