Love

To My Friends Who Are............ SINGLE
Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often it hurts,
but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.


To My Friends Who Are............NOT SO SINGLE
Love isn't about becoming somebody else's 'perfect person.'
It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE
Never say 'I love you' if you don't care.
Never talk about feelings if they aren't there.
Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart.
Never look in the eye when all you do is lie.
The cruelest thing you can do is to let someone fall in love;
when you don't intend to catch that someone fall and it works both ways...

To My Friends Who Are............MARRIED
Love is not about 'it's your fault', but 'I'm sorry.'
Not 'where are you', but 'I'm right here.'
Not 'how could you', but 'I understand.'
Not 'I wish you were', but 'I'm thankful you are.'

To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED
The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.

To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN
Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go.
The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.

To My Friends Who Are............NAIVE
How to be in love:
Fall but don't stumble,
be consistent but not too persistent,
share and never be unfair,
understand and try not to demand,
and get hurt but never keep the pain.

To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but
it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.


To My Friends Who Are............AFRAID TO CONFESS
Love hurts when you break up with someone.
It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you.
But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.


To My Friends Who Are............STILL HOLDING ON
A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be
and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If he isn't worth it now he's not
going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now. Let go.....


TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......
My wish for you is a man/women whose love is honest, strong, mature,
never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding and unselfish.

Love does not need a Reason

Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?
Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..
Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?
Man: I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.
Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!
Man: Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements..

Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became comma. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

Dearest,
Because of your sweet voice that I love you. Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like you. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you. Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you. Now can you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you.

If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore. Do love need a reason? No! Therefore, I still love you. And love doesn't need a reason

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
" The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, not touched..but are felt in the heart ."

YOU CREATE YOUR OWN DESTINY

Three construction workers were on top of their half-finished
skyscraper.


"Rrrrring!" the lunch bell sounded, and the three men sat on a steel
beam jutting out of the 56th floor with their lunch boxes in hand.

The first guy opens his and groans in exasperation, "Tuyo!" There is
not a day that I don't get tuyo for lunch!" He turns to his buddies
and announces, "Mark my words. If I still get tuyo tomorrow, I'm
going to throw myself from this building."

The second guy opens his lunch box and moans, "Tinapa". Everyday, I
get tinapa!" He looks at his friends and declares, "Believe me when I
say this. If I get tinapa tomorrow, I'm going to jump and kill
myself."

The third gu y opens his lunch box and it was his turn to despair.
"Galunggong". All I get is galunggong!" I'm telling you, if I still
get galunggong tomorrow, I'm going to jump from this building and
die."

The next day, the lunch bell rings and all three men are again seated
on the 56th floor.

The first guy opens his lunch box and starts crying, "Tuyoooooo!" And
so he jumps and crashes on the ground.

The second guy opens his lunch box and wails loudly, "Tinapaaaa!" And
he also hurls himself off the building and dies.

The third guy opens his lunch box and screams, "Galunggonggggg!" And
so he too jumps off the building and splatters on the ground.

Days later, during the funeral of the three men, their three wives
embrace and weep together.

The first wife cries out, "I didn't know my husband didn't like tuyo
anymore! Why didn't he tell me? If only he told me, I would have
prepared something else."

The second wife e choes her statement, "Yes! If only I knew, I would
have cooked something else, not tinapa!"

The third wife, between sobs, speaks up, "I don't know why my husband
killed himself." The two wives look at her curiously. "Why?"

She went on, "Because ... my husband prepares his own lunch
everyday..."

I love this crazy story because it presents a very important truth:
all of us prepare our own lunch. If we don't like our jobs, if we
don't like the state of our relationships, if we don't like what's
happening to our spiritual lives - we have no one to blame but
ourselves.

Because God has given us free will.

He has given us the power to prepare our own lunch.

If you want to earn more and be free from debt, if you're sick and
tired of your bad habits, if we want to put more joy in our marriages,
if we want to grow in our relationship with God - then go back to your
kitchen and prepare yourself another dish.

Because you design your own future.

You create your own destiny.

Ask yourself what kind of future do you want to have?

What kind of millenium?

What kind of eternity?

You decide.
