Streaks OF hEAVEN !!!

Although we can now reach one another in a click of a button; all the good things we possess can't seem to cast away the dark clouds that hang everywhere, obscuring the azure sky, blocking the warmth of our bright and faithful sun.
Rich and poor alike are dying within, the humanity of their souls being sucked away either by the necessity of their survival or by their meaningless ambitions. Where then can we find that little piece of heaven, that small flame of hope that would keep us from stumbling in the dark?

Busy morning. You hurry off to work unable to take a single bite of breakfast. You arrive at your office. You see what's on top of your table. Coffee and croissant with a sweet note from a dear friend. You pause for a while, you savor the strong aroma of coffee, and take a good sip. Not much for a tv commercial, but enough to catch the first glimpse of sunlight of your day. A little piece of heaven.

A man stricken with AIDS and considered an outcast. An old nun who reaches out, treats his wounds and embraces him warmly, passing no judgement, no fear, no condemnation. The man smiles and looks up to heaven. He breathes his last, but in that last breath was a breath of hope, and a renewed faith in God. A little piece of heaven.

A storm has just passedThe city lay in flood and ruins. In a few moments more, children emerge from their houses. They proudly carry the paper boats they've just made. No flood could dampen their spirits, no storm could darken the light in their eyes. You hear their laughter. You get infected with their joy. A little piece of heaven.

Have you seen them? Have you caught a single piece of happiness lately? You may not be looking. Or you may not feel you can give some little piece today. Look. Believe. Smile. A smile brings out a lot of sunbeams, and attracts streaks of happiness along the way. Catch a piece today, your very own piece of heaven.

Sending you a HUG !!!

Nothing can compare to the warmth generated by a hug.

No person feels as secure, as intimate, as needed, as loved, as someone being hugged.
At times I forget the nicest things said about me, but I cannot forget those times I have been hugged.
For surely, it brushes away our fears and turns our tears into waterfalls of grace.

Don’t be ashamed to ask for it from those whom you know has great concern for you.

Often, people really want to give it away, but are just afraid to offer it. Such people would be more than willing to give to you that loving embrace if only you will ask.

So why not ask?

P.S.
Let me be the first to give you one, here’s a warm hug for YOU !!!

FLAWS !!!

I have learned to accept my flaws and weaknesses. I have learned to be at peace with them.

I have also learned that despite them, God has still made me fully equipped to accomplish my destiny!

Happiness is a journey not a destination !!!

Is happiness a choice? Is it a mere decision we can make at any situation, every step along the road of life? Can we always say that the glass of water given to us is half full instead of being half empty? Can it be made full by believing that it is full when it is really not?

What shall we say to the beggar who has not eaten in three full days?
What shall we say to orphaned children whose parents were devoured by a dreaded disease, children who now roam the streets naked and helpless and lost?
What shall we say to the unloved, to those who have nobody to show them the way of compassion, sympathy and friendship?

Is it easy to decide to be happy? Is it even possible to find peace when a hurricane hovers about you, ready to tear you apart?

I am not saying that it isn't possible
I am not saying that we cannot

Yet i say not so easily that happiness is a choice
and that at any point in time, we can choose to be happy

For this we have a choice
and with this we can have Hope

Finally my friend, we can hold on to that Hope
and believe that we can find
what it is we're looking for....

" When one door of happiness closes another opens,but often we look so long at the closed door that we donot see the one that is opened for us "

Sshhhhhhhh.............

Sshhhhh… Listen closely… Ever so closely and still. For even closed doors may whisper unto us a secret, and even dead-ends may point us closer to pathways we’ve long been searching for.

I am not PERFECT !!!---->will u still LOVE ME ????

Will you still love me even if I’m not perfect? Will you still love me even if I’m not the kind of person you wished I were? Will you still look into my eyes with warmth even if you saw my shadows? Will you still hold my hand even if you knew there will be times I’d let you down?
For though I yearn to take care of you as I should, though I desire to love you with a love that never falters and fades, my knees tremble at the thought of the very moment that you would hold me in your arms.

Sometimes I’d be silent and I might bore you. I may not laugh at your jokes, and you may not understand the spell that’s enshrouding me. Sometimes I’d get troubled and I’d fail to put into words what the hell it is that troubles me. I wouldn’t be good company then, and I couldn’t make you smile.

Sometimes I’d get moody and I might not enjoy the things you’d like us to do together. Sometimes I’d lose my temper and I’d no longer act like the fine person who stands before you today. Sometimes I’d get jealous and I might say things I don’t really mean. Sometimes I’d talk too much that I might drive you away.

Sometimed I’d get touchy and I’d get easily hurt. And no matter how mature I try to be, at times I’d act in childish ways. I’d demand things I shouldn’t, I’d say thing I shouldn’t say. And no matter how much I desire to protect you and make you happy, sometimes I’d be the one who’d cause you the most pain.

If you will love me I cannot promise you that I will not hurt you. I cannot promise you that I will not make you cry and that I’ll never break your heart. But if you will love me, I will bare my whole self naked before you, and I will reveal to you my soul. If you will love me, you can be certain that it is I that you will love, not a mask that fools you and gives you only what your eyes desire to see. If you will love me, you can be certain that you will love the depths of me, all of me that is in me, and I in turn will love you with all of me, with all my soul, with all my mind, with all my spirit, with all my flaws and beauty, and with all my very heart.

Exotic journey of cadbury Bournville ----seXay .....ChocolatAy !!!!

Its a romantic evening ...a perfect day !!!
ALL alone strolling on the road having nothing special to do.Smiling to myself thinking of some bitter - sweet memories from the past .Something catches my eye in one of the showcases of a large chocolate shop. A deep, rich metallic brown wrapper with golden highlights and a lusterous word “ Bournville “ mysteriously staring at me in a dark chocolate brown colour. A dark, bitter-sweet feeling which has been lingering inside me goes ahead to catch hold of this delicious bar.




This perfect bar of dark chocolate turns the simple act of eating it into a form of art.It demands a certain ritual, not just for the connoisseurs but for people who really want to savour good, dark chocolate.

• Step 1 -hold the chocolate and delicately peel the top of the wrapper.One slow circle after another.After you've tempeted your eyes long enough, allow them to set their site on the deep dark chocolate.

• Step2-Bring the chocolate next to your ear and snap off a single cube.Let its sharp sound resonate inside you, long enough to give you that tingling sensation.Long enough for your eyes to shut unknowingly.

• Step3- Smell the chocolate before you eat it.Its distinct aroma is a tantilizing invitation to the tongue.It also prepares you for tasting the chocolate.This will enchance your perception of the flavour,

• Step4-Place the chocolate on your tongue and allow it to melt by pressing it on the roof of your mouth, The the cocoa butter will spread evenly and an evolution of flavours will build up on your palate.

• Step5-As the chocolate melts in your mouth completly ,close your mouth and concentrate on the flavours that are enveloping your tongue.Give in the feeling and be guided to new experiences,to the world of Cadbury Bournille,fine dark chocolate.
  

LoViNG u Is LiKE bReAThIng.....How Can I sTop !!!

I'm in love...
With time
Sometimes it takes advantage of me, but so do I
WE have an understanding like that.....
Sometimes I forget it exists, but it always reminds me that it is ever present and immanent.
Time and I have so many memories, and I can call on it to brighten my day.
Sometimes, time makes me sad, because it cuts away at me like a knife,
but time also has the ability to heal all wounds.
The scar might be there to remind us of what happened, but the healing shows us there's hope
I'm in love with time......

I'm in love...
With thought
It keeps me grounded....
allows me to reflect and create without passing judgment
It gives me hope and strength
A glimpse at what's to come
I'm in love with thought.........

PosItive mental attitude (PMA ) =p

Yeap Yeap! I am a work in progress..... One element that I continue to work on is my confidence and personality. I look back on how I was as a teen, hell even a few years ago, and I must say that I have progressed. I mean, I remember when I had a hard time looking people in the eye, or that I held my head down so much you'd swear I was looking for money on the ground. Good stuff, I tell ya, good stuff!

when you're around good friends, It is so much fun and such a relief. It's a good thing when you are in that comfort zone with friends that you can joke with about anything. Well, I guess not only focusing on the concept of talkin' ish, but also just remembering to laugh, even at yourself! I was hangin out with a few of my frnds and we were just bustin' a gut about random stuff. I'm finding more and more that it is important to have a balance -- between professionalism and silliness, happiness and tears, pain and laughter. Other wise, life just passes you by. I don't want that to happen.

LIfe teaches Us Lessons !!!

I have learned that people make compliments just to receive them back. I have learned that life is good if we make it good. I have learned that God does not give anybody anything; he just shows us the way. I have learned that the most important things are the ones that count for us not for the people around us. I have learned that you cannot trust anybody but yourself. I have learned to listen to my instincts because they will always help me make the right decision. I have learned that people are faker than silicon breasts. I have learned that you have to work very hard for happiness.
I have learned that actually, as much as we work, we will never be as happy as we want. I have learned that love and happiness are illusions necessary to survive the hard situations in life. I have learned that we will never know well enough the person next to us. I have learned that we will never know all the things we would like to know. I have learned that life is a mystery, and the only thing we can do is to enjoy the short time we spend on this Earth. However, the most important thing I have learned is that I have to go for everything that makes me smile, and gives me the illusion of happiness.

Loving someone and Being in love ....is there a diffrence between the two ????

To love is; to cherish, to be kind to, to want to spend time with, to respect, to enjoy, to trust, to want to know better. This list is too lengthy and I am sure you can add many of your own characteristics or qualities.

And then there is to be in love; to be smitten, infatuated, enamored, hooked, taken with, besotted, head over heels.

How about a few thought-provoking questions to ponder throughout your week.- What is the real difference between the two?

- Can you have one without the other?
- Can you be in love and not love someone or can you love someone and not be in love with them? And vice versa.

CAUTION- woman eating dessert -DO NOT DISTURB !!!

I am constantly amazed at how animated and talkative people get when you mention food. The mere aroma of certain foods can evoke memories that transport us back to a special place and time. Food can bridge the gap between all ages, races and ethnicities.



Let's face it, the only thing that should ever come between people is a table and some serving bowls.

LonelineSS...the biggest HUNTER !!!!

Loneliness permeates everything that exists in life.
When you are truly lonely it feels like there is no one in the world that is on the same plane as you.There are other people in the world that are lonely and depressed, of course, but they will be the first to tell you that its not the same for anyone, we all suffer on our own,I feel it all the time.

Loneliness leaves you feeling nothing but emptiness, completely insatiable; no amount of money, big screen TVs, expensive cars or amazing jobs can make up for the black hole that is your loneliness... swallowing up everything that you try to counter it with.

What's worse, when you're truly, truly lonely, is that nothing really matters. Why even live if you're forced to live in solidarity, isolation. What good is anything you do or accomplish if there is no one to share it with? What's the difference?

Nothing matters. Just filling the void. It's remarkable how everything else in life gets the volume turned down; how the absense of one person, whom you may not even ever find, can set you into a downward spiral of depression and pain.

But you push on, because... honestly, what else are you suppose to do?you go to work, you do whatever you have to. If you're like me, you put on a face for the world, one that few people, if anyone, has ever seen past.You smile and joke, talk about the weather, the upcoming weekend and newest piece of techno-shit to become available.

But to you, none of it matters at all. You are among the best actors in the world.You wear a smile on your face because you know that no one is going to understand.

"It happens to everyone," "It's not that bad," "Don't worry, you're going to be just fine."

Well, thank God you think so. I'm sure you're up at night, losing sleep worrying about me...

This is why we suffer silently. Loneliness, real loneliness, is not something that comes and goes in a night. It's built up, sometimes over years, and cannot be explained as just, "I'm lonely." To express the way it feels, the way it affects every aspect of your life, is near impossible, even to the closest people in your life.

How do you make another person feel the bitter hopelessness that loneliness brings? If I could, I don't even think I would want to.Knowing the pain and desperation that comes with it, I would never wish this kind of hell on anyone.

But it seems like it's about that time again. Time to put that smile back on and pretend that life is beautiful. Back to the regular grind with that faint hope, deep down in your soul, that prays fervently that today will be that day; the day that you meet that someone who will flip your world upside down and it will be the best day of your thus-far miserable life.

But until that day I will sit here waiting, praying and trying everything I can to find him. And each night the sun sinks below the horizon that I'm still lonely my heart feels like it sinks a little bit lower into my body and everthing else fades to black.

I guess I'll have to try a little harder!!!!

don`T HURT me Just becoz it seems harder for you to LOVE me !!!!!

If you've ever been in love with someone who deceived or hurt you, it's hard not to carry that into the next relationship ... and the next ... and the next. It's like it becomes woven into the fabric of who you are.

Does it have to be that way?

It's hard to put our trust in people again after we've been hurt. It seems natural that we'd want to be cautious when we first meet someone. I'm certainly not against taking it slow in the beginning; that's smart because it helps separate lust from love.

And I don't think there's a way to get close to someone without understanding this:
I may get hurt.

If we carry fear of past hurts repeating themselves with new loves, we will always be on guard, and we won't be able to experience the person as our authentic self.

Getting to know someone, sharing who and what we are — and having someone share that with us, makes us incredibly vulnerable. But that's what intimacy does. I'm still going to choose that.

Do you open yourself up to all that a new relationship offers, or do you live in the shadow of those who have hurt you?

And if you feel that someone you're interested in is dumping former relationships' bad mojo on you, what do you do?

To Blog Or nOt To Blog ..... !!!!

I asked myself several times over the last month "should i start a Blog? What if ...". The answer was finally yes !!!

hmmm ...so is blogging just like sex ????? m i addicted ??



well lately during my free time, I think of what I want to write about in my next post.... blogging also makes me feel sOoO good because i can share my views, opinions, attitudes, perspectives, and life experiences.The longer i feel good the more inclined i am to continue.....

Acknowledgement...The most common question one would ask his/her partner is "How good are you in bed?". Almost everyone would like to think that they are the best in bed. However, the best acknowledgment is from your partner....for me the best acknowledgment on how good I am is through comments from my readers.

To be able to impress your partner, there are several skills that you need to acquire for sex. No doubt, if you are good in bed, you can have a long lasting relationship..I also realised that blogging requires good writing skills too to transform good ideas into great ideas. While some people are born with a gift for writing.For most of us, improving writing skills is a tedious but rewarding process of continuous learning and rewriting.

wow ...i m addicted !!!

" I feel like I'm cheating on my lover, sneaking off to fondle the keyboard and share secret thoughts with all manner of lurking strangers hidden from sight -- like whispering in the dark.
I find myself sitting alone in the dark and inspired place typing on my keyboard, then fearlessly click on the Post button… and hopefully receive an endless variety of instantaneous comments.....I'm happy to have dared to do it."

WhAT mAKes a GoOD FRIEND ????

He is not the most caring person in this world, but when I am in tears, he’ll do whatever it takes to make me smile. He is not the world’s greatest listener, but when my mind stops working and I go on blabbering like a fool to vent my frustrations, he listens to me. We are not compatible per se, we do not always agree with each others point of view and have our share of arguments and spats, but yet after we fight, he often comes and tries to patch things up without any further arguments about who said what…He is one of the most blunt speakers I’ve ever known and yet when it comes to my faults and my failures, he somehow manages to pick out just the right words to make me realize my mistakes without hurting me …Well I could just go on and on…the point is - he is not the greatest human being on the earth, I know he is not perfect and yet to me he seems like perfection.

Good friends always make life so much easier and better ...

Friends are a helping hand, a comforting shoulder to lean on, a patient ear to listen to you and most important a warm and loving hug to embrace you!

Do you need a HUG ??? I hope so !!!!
Because im sending you a GIGANTIC one !!!

In the meantime, I would really like to know a bit about you as to

what do you like (or don't like) about this blog?
what would make this blog better ?

as for me just click on About me .

OnE jOURnEy !!!!

Too far from home I've wandered
dreaming of my life to be,
And of old traditions come and gone
and songs I used to sing and like.
The small clothes I used to fit
and pictures of me years before.
I remember my school teachers, my foes
and my friends that I have lost.
The few that I have kept
and the loves that have been torn.

Any pain or failure I have seen
and any great achievement I have made.
Things have changed so much,
yes it's true,
but I have learned so much, too.
Experiences and feelings
have built me to anew.

I remember when I felt like giving up,
and I know I can live on,
'Cause I have
and I will.
Imagine if I had let go,
and lost all I have gained.
Life would be a blur.

But I can see things clearly now,
Although sometimes I fall astray.
The sun shines down on me,
although darkness often surrounds.
My choices show who I am
and shape the future of my life,
And I never forget where I came from
and all I have overcome.
I realize now that I can be lost
(for a time)
But I will always be found.
