Have you found your Soul mate? Believe me, when you do, it will be very obvious. You will be on cloud nine as the expression goes, just going through your day with a smile as big as Texas. To be in love with your soul mate, is practically intoxicating but in a purely natural way. There is no feeling in the world like finding what people call their other half. The feeling of contentment and wholeness, resulting from being in true love, is all encompassing. Love makes life wonderful in all ways.

Being with your soul mate feels as natural as walking on the beach in your bare feet and it is just as relaxing and peaceful too. Your soul mate feels like an extension of yourself. His or her interests simple continue where yours end and this makes life all that much more exciting and interesting. You can enjoy so much together and time will just disappear it seems. There sometimes doesn’t seem like there is enough time in the day to pack in all the things that you want to do together.

One week with your soul mate can be like a year with someone else. There is such a mutual understanding that exists between the two of you that you barely need to open your mouth to talk before the other one knows what you are about to say. Even in silent times, so much is understood between you. This is such a beautiful experience that you will want to be together as much as possible.

When soul mates spend time together it is like two worlds that were originally one, get reunited. Your hands and bodies fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces. In each other’s embrace you will feel like you are so happy that you are almost flying. Nothing in the world could ever compare to sharing a friendship and a love with your soul mate.

So much happiness and love will enrich your world all the time.

Finally, stay focused on finding your soul mate if you have not already done so. It will be a search for the truest love ever imaginable. I assure you that true love is out there to be discovered. You need to trust your heart and mind as you seek the love of your life. When you find this person, you will wonder where they have been all your life but you must remember that there is a time and place for everything. When you are meant to fall deeply in love, you surely will.

If there is one ingredient  which can add warmth and love to our lives…it is friendship. If there is one relationship to help us through all the others…it is friendship. Friends surrounds us with the beauty of their caring. With friends we can share what we see, what we feel and what we love. Friends help us with our problems because they listen. And as they listen we begin to hear the language of our own hearts. With friends we can walk along the remembered paths of our lives and completely share our experiences. With friends we can work the soil of forgotten dreams that needed to be tended and nurtured once again. With friends we can plant the seed of our hearts new dreams. We can always return to a friend like going back to a special place…and find the same warm feeling unchanged by time or distance. Life gives us friends so we can share the prescious times and memorable moments of being children,  teenagers, adults,  parents, and grandparents. Life gives us friends so we can share the growing up, growing down and old. With friends we have a place to go to be accepted and understood. Together we can laugh. Together we can cry. Our thoughts are heard, our feelings are held in the heart of a friend. With friends our lives are happier, richer, more open, beautiful and blessed…Lord, thank you for giving me true and real friends, bless them Lord…

Some times we are Feeling down.
Sometimes we Got the blues.
Well, let me tell you, You’re not alone. Everyone gets sad. Yes, everyone you’ve ever met. Some people have sad feelings just once in a while, and others may have sad feelings pretty often.
When you’re in a sad mood, it may feel like it will last forever, but usually feelings of sadness don’t last very long - a few hours or maybe a day or two. A deeper, more intense kind of sadness that lasts a lot longer is called depression.

Sadness is a feeling - it’s one of the many normal human emotions, or moods, we all have. Sadness is the emotion people feel when they’ve lost something important, or when they have been disappointed about something, or when something sad has happened to them or to someone else. When they’re lonely, people often feel sad.

When you’re sad, the world may seem dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. The hurt deep inside may crush your usually good mood.

Sadness makes you feel like crying, and sometimes the tears are hard to stop. Crying often makes you feel better.

Sometimes when your mood is sad, you just feel like being alone for a little while. Or you might want someone to comfort you or just keep you company while you go through the sad feeling. Talking about what has made you sad usually helps the sad feeling melt away.

When sadness starts to go away, it can feel like a heavy blanket is being lifted from your shoulders.

So, try to find something that can help you cheer up- either watch a fun movie, play a video game. For me Reading the Bible is what cheers me up when I’m sad. When I read that Jesus Christ suffer for me, I’ve come to realize that my sadness is nothing compared to what he had been through…

I went home a year ago when my father died..When he died, a part of me died with him…I will never be the same again..it ’s been a year and 3 months, but there are times that i miss seeing his face and hearing his voice…I miss my mom who always smile though she’s hurt, telling me that’s "it’s just okey…just let them be…" that’s how kind and good hearted she is…a mom who wakes up early to prepare food for us, iron our school uniforms,to make sure that we look neat and clean going to school.

I miss my little brothers and sisters who are now teen agers and some are already married…I miss their jokes and the sound of their laughter everytime we’re gathered at home..I miss my silly old friends who taught me how to drink "Tuba" I miss playing with them hide and seek, patentero, biko tae,shatum, and chinese garter…oh happy days:) I miss swimming "mamala", climbing Kape, harvesting Maiz, selling sayote,( sabel and Nong sammy were not selfish though:) these are the memories of a simple life at home…I miss joining singing compititions in every fiesta anywhere in barrios and even in my hometown..( In fairness,i was once a Grand champion inter school and in our hometown:) I miss my lola naning and lola Dodo in balingoan. my lola is my avid fan..i remember her shouting when i joined singing compitition in balingoan, "Apo nako na" that’s my grand daughter:) .luckily, i won the contest:)

..I could still imagine her happy face until now…Though my life has ups and downs, remembering those days with them, makes me feel a tad better…I miss dinners with my family, I miss my cousins,nieces,nephews, my aunts and uncles…I miss the hills, trees and the winding road..I miss every single thing at home…I just wanna feel home:( all i can say is that, there’s no place like home…I’ll be home soon:)

easter…easter…the day when my father died…I don’t know how to define easter now…will i be happy? or will i be sad…don’t have much to say, I just want papa and papa jesus to know, that I’ll always remember their sacrifices and love for me…thank you so much…

derDesiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I don’t think of him as gone away.His journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one…I just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the fears, In the place with warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years…He must be wishing that we could know today, that our sadness can really pass away…I know he’s living in the hearts of those he touched…If my tears could build a stairway and memories build a lane, Papa, I’d walk right to heaven and bring you home again…
