Keeping The Faith.

NT — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 03:19:25 +0000

“Stand up to crises. Don’t let them throw you! Fight to stay calm… even surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.”

~Maxwell Maltz

That’s quite a long battlecry but yes, that’s what I’m doing right now. With God’s grace and guidance, I know He will help me and raise me up.

12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.

35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad’s idea first.

65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.

Quotable Quotes on Stupidity.

NT — Wed, 27 May 2009 14:01:00 +0000

“Silence is the best answer to the stupid”.

“We all know that it’s easy to give a dumb answer. But to ask a dumb question is different.”

“We need to open our eyes and minds first before raising a question because more often than not, the answer is right in front of us.”

And the ultimate local quote about stupidity:
“Ayan na..ayan na…di pa rin makita…
–tanga”.

Just a reminder to every married couple…

Journalling: Love doesn’t consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction-St Antoine de Exupery.

Life.

NT — Sun, 24 May 2009 03:51:00 +0000

“Don’t run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps. He has plans & He has time. God’s clock is never early nor late. It always strikes on time….”

and as a text message that has been stashed for so long in my mobile phone’s inbox goes:

“Lord when I lose hope because my plans have come to nothing, help me remember that your love is always greater than my disappointments and your plans for my life is always better than my dreams…”

’nuff said…

Pregnancy Quotable Quotes.

NT — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:22:00 +0000

My Qatar-based sister is about to give birth in two months time. We were chatting this morning and even showed me through the webcam her ballooned tummy. She’s complaining about how heavy and tough it is walking around, how painful her back is now and we also chatted about the funny remarks she has received recently.. I can totally relate because I, too, had my own dose of funny-and-trying-to-psyche-myself-not-offensive remarks:

Colleague: “Mai..ang laki-laki na talaga ng tiyan mo!” (Siyempre naman, nagdedevelop si baby eh)

Colleague # 2: “Mai..ang cute mo..para kang butete!” (Hmmm..flattered with the “cute” thing. With the butete thing..whatever!)

Colleague # 3: “In fairness, Mai..pag nakatalikod ka..di ka mukhang buntis” (Siyempre naman, ang baby ko nasa tiyan ko..wala sa likod)

Colleague # 4: “Mai, ang nene mong tignan kasi eh..para kang batang buntis!”

Paul on my protruding navel: “Bi, ang cute ng pusod mo…mukhang pwet ng manok!”

Paul on my way of walking: “Bi, ang cute mong maglakad..para kang penguin” (Maestro music! Dance..Boogie Wonderland..hehe mala-Happy Feet ba?)
