Enjoy Life

We meet at a time, when a new phase of our life has just begun..

When we were only young ladies  searching for our place under the sun,

That enchanting smile in your pretty face.

Caught the hearts of our batch mates in awe;

but all they can do was sigh and wish!

On Our 23rd Wedding Anniversary

Dearest Honey Bunch,

Thank You very much for being the love of my life, and the echo of my soul.  For accepting my past, and for sharing your life and dreams with me, I will forever be grateful with the love that I found in you. Thank you for the past twenty three (23) of  making me feel the warmth of a true love, your tender and loving care, unwavering loyalty and never ending passion. Thank you for bringing out the best in me and recognizing and enhancing my identity as a woman, as a person, and as a human being. Thank you for loving me for what I am, and for patiently bearing with my mood swings and my carino brutal. Thank you for being a wonderful and loving husband, an exciting lover, and a true friend.... my best friend! 

A Very Touching Story

Sharing the beautiful story from an Unknown Author...

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the first interview, the director did the last interview, made the last decision. 

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".

Crossroads

Life is like a road and when we are at the cross roads,  luck  becomes a case where preparation meets inspiration.We have all the choices to take. To carry on with the road we know, even though doing so can some times be bad and unhealthy for us or we can take a new turn , not knowing where it will take us in our lives but knowing deep within ourselves that the new road is where we wish to be.
After sometime, being on our new road and being happy and content with the way things , our test will come, by trying to see if where we are going is indeed where we really wish to be. If the old road where we were unhappy and discontented and where it did not serve our greater good.  We can always put our faith and trust in the Divine knowing that even though we cannot see where we are going or who we will become that this is indeed the right path for us and indeed our instinct tells us that. We know in our hearts that a greater force is at hand guiding us with each and every step that we take.

Always take the path that leads to the happiness of your heart you KNOW which one that will be. ~ Carole Anne O'Brien

The Soul of my Heart

As I traveled down the roads of life.
You have driven my darkest fears away.
You brought sunshine and bright smiles into my lonely face.
You made me bloom into a precious rose
and created a rainbow to my soul.
Sometimes, when the clouds of doubt started to cast in me,
You simply hold my hand and consoled me
that as the soul of my  heart, 

there is  nothing to fear,

whether far or near.
To have  faith in  you,

for I will always be inside your heart.

It doesn't tell lies,  
that's why true love never dies.

Making memorable moments
for yourself is not a big thing. 
But being the reason behind someone else's 
memorable moment is an everlasting feeling 
and to you that's the essence of  your being!  :)

Valuable Lessons From Mom

I was born to a lower middle class family with only a striving 
merchant mother working  to earn a living. Through the years, 
she never earned enough to attain the kind of financial security that 
many people do. She may not have been successful in making a lot of 
money nor able to build us a beautiful house because of my father's spending habits and lifestyle but to us, she was peerless when it comes 
to making the most of what we had. Looking back, I've realized how frugality played an important role in our life. Identifying "needs" from "wants". Money, being a scarce resource, always presents us with a challenge on how we should use it. Sometimes, we have to be contented 
with hand me down items from affluent relatives that are still good and usable regardless if it is fashionably in or not. Usually, there was no frill celebration for Birthdays and Christmas and for that we lived simply.
Buying does not only mean acquiring, but it entails forfeiting!
 That's why before spending, especially on something you can 
probably live without, always remind yourself that money spent,
is money gone, and often, it is best to decide against it.
Economists love to say that “you can’t eat your cake and keep it too.” Nevertheless, by taking very good care of our possessions and we minimized the cycle of spending and forfeiting. We will always 
remember that in creating wealth, earning well is just half of 
the equation. It is in how much we saved and how well we managed 
our resources  that completes it.
Mama, we can never thank you enough for all the valuable lessons
 you have taught us in life. We will forever be grateful to you because 
where we are in life today we ought it to your moldings. 
Happy Mother's Day !! We Love You...
