Recently I signed-up to be a dealer of organic and natural products. My first reason was to have a discount for my personal use. Secondly, to have an income while still staying at home and do what I love most, to be a mom and manage the house =).

But on a serious note, I think this is my first step to be an online seller of the things I like or love as I really need to earn my keep, coz you know, reality steps in, and our family cannot afford to be a one-man income household.

So, wish me luck my dear! Hope to feel your love by trying the products I sell =)

Trying again...

Hello blog! It’s been a long time. I’m going to take chance again. I’m going to write, blog hop and connect in the web. Wish me luck! =)

This is the time of the month that sadness slither slowly in me, as it approach the day I felt the most painful part of my life as of to date. It’s still there, the pain, the sadness and occasional tears.

Too much thoughts creep into my mind, not good. Started to worry and fears strikes in. Tears run down into my face as I say my prayer, offered it to heavenly mother hoping to pacify my being...and it didn’t disappoint. There’s still doubt, but in that doubt, some way, somehow, there’s a soothing feeling in keeping my faith.

I like Chinese drama. I like Asian authors. There is some kind of different depth in a book when it is written by an Asian author – my opinion.
I like this book, I’ve read this twice. I can feel the character, I can relate.
A wandering soul in a journey called life.

Love me without fear…
Trust me without questioning…
Need me without demanding!

Want me without restrictions…
Accept me without change…
Desire me without inhibitions.

After checking on my account, signing up for whatnots and checking on my friends, I feel good and happy.

Happy for C coz she's happy, G coz he's de-stressing in fb and me - hopeful :)

I just posted one entry on this site last year and I’ve closed it for quite awhile but it doesn’t mean I stop blogging.

I decided to sign up on another site, I felt I needed my alone time in the web (if there’s such a thing as a “me time” :))…no links, no friends as in “real / personal friends” that can access my little space in the web, so no worries for me to write my thoughts freely about the hell I’m going through at that time.

Now I’ve decided to be back, back here in blogspot, go around again, and recover my links and some other stuff that used to gave life on this site.

Another year, another chance…

And I'm back!!!

2009 came by fast…it was a roller coaster ride of trials and hardship on the personal and family’s level. It was a learning year, full of eye opening stuff happens and it makes one realized what really matters most. But to be fair on the year that was, it ended giving us high hopes for the year ahead, in building new relationships and making amends, making oneself better and aiming high and last but not the least in always keeping the FAITH.

A blessed 2010!!!

A Start

2009-06-26T15:13:00.000+08:00

I have to start somewhere...somehow.....

bit of noemi

2008-02-07T03:32:00.000+08:00

It has been a while since I posted something personal; I mean something that gives a little bit of me. Months have passed, events and dramas occurred, too high and not so low emotions enveloped me but still I’m alive and still kicking… always, always hoping for the best whatever it may be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

February is my birth month. Nothing special, another number to add, another year to start anew, another chance to kick bad habits and continue with the nice one I acquired along the way, I promise, I’ll try….hehehe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I read books or do a dvd marathon when I’m not in the mood to blog. I finished reading four books all by Jackie Collins…one book to go and I’m done with her Santangelo’s series. I started watching Women’s Murder Club last Sunday night, four episodes to go and hopefully I can start watching the first season of Brothers and Sister series a friend nicely lend me so long ago bwehehehe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m in the mood that I’m yearning to share, to play nice and be cool and maybe give something worthy little nuggets ‘bout life…lol (blame it on a movie I just finished watching…bleeh!!!) but since I’ve no one to talk to right now…I’ll just reminisce happily ‘bout my good and not so good old days!

N O E M I means...

What Noemi Means

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.

You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.

At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.

At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.

You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.

You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

Somebody once said to me this line - “You always have a CHOICE”, and the way it was delivered was as if every time you come across a dilemma in you’re life you can always come up with a decision in an instant…true at some point and some circumstance. But what if the sentiment at the moment is too much to bear? That you’re too numb to decide on the choices at hand? You can’t think clearly and the only thing that you can do is to be still and let the course take its action for the moment. Will that mean that you’re not doing something? Will that mean that you don’t care?

I don’t’ think so. No, I know so. I learned that not all predicaments can solve at an instant it presents its self. There are times when backing off doesn’t mean not doing something. Some people need time in some situations to ponder on the things at hand. To get a clearer view and see the bigger picture before they can come to a conclusion or before they can do something about their situations. It may take days, weeks, and months or years; it really depends on the weight of the situation or what kind of a problem one’s facing.

Life is not all black or white. There are other colors to be taken with dealing with life’s drama. Acceptance is the key word here …..*wink*!!!

Happy weekend!!!

With baby steps and taking it one day at a time….

Convention of those wounded in love

2007-12-08T00:41:00.000+08:00

Let me share…Another newsletter from Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho…
Nice read and I find it funny…hehehe
True indeed in the aspect of LOVE.

General provisions:

A – Whereas the saying “all is fair in love and war” is absolutely correct;

B – Whereas for war we have the Geneva Convention, approved on 22 August 1864, which provides for those wounded in the battle field, but until now no convention has been signed concerning those wounded in love, who are far greater in number;

It is hereby decreed that:

Article 1 – All lovers, of any sex, are alerted that love, besides being a blessing, is also something extremely dangerous, unpredictable and capable of causing serious damage. Consequently, anyone planning to love should be aware that they are exposing their body and soul to various types of wounds, and that they shall not be able to blame their partner at any moment, since the risk is the same for both.

Article 2 – Once struck by a stray arrow fired from Cupid’s bow, they should immediately ask the archer to shoot the same arrow in the opposite direction, so as not to be afflicted by the wound known as “unrequited love”. Should Cupid refuse to perform such a gesture, the Convention now being promulgated demands that the wounded partner remove the arrow from his/her heart and throw it in the garbage. In order to guarantee this, those concerned should avoid telephone calls, messages over the Internet, sending flowers that are always returned, or each and every means of seduction, since these may yield results in the short run but always end up wrong after a while. The Convention decrees that the wounded person should immediately seek the company of other people and try to control the obsessive thought: “this person is worth fighting for”.

Article 3 – If the wound is caused by third parties, in other words if the loved one has become interested in someone not in the script previously drafted, vengeance is expressly forbidden. In this case, it is allowed to use tears until the eyes dry up, to punch walls or pillows, to insult the ex-partner in conversations with friends, to allege his/her complete lack of taste, but without offending their honor. The Convention determines that the rule contained in Article 2 be applied: seek the company of other persons, preferably in places different from those frequented by the other party.

Article 4 – In the case of light wounds, herein classified as small treacheries, fulminating passions that are short-lived, passing sexual disinterest, the medicine called Pardon should be applied generously and quickly. Once this medicine has been applied, one should never reconsider one's decision, not even once, and the theme must be completely forgotten and never used as an argument in a fight or in a moment of hatred.

Article 5 – In all definitive wounds, also known as “breaking up”, the only medicine capable of having an effect is called Time. It is no use seeking consolation from fortune-tellers (who always say that the lost lover will return), romantic books (which always have a happy ending), soap-operas on the television or other such things. One should suffer intensely, completely avoiding drugs, tranquilizers and praying to saints. Alcohol is only tolerated if kept to a maximum of two glasses of wine a day.

Final determination: Those wounded in love, unlike those wounded in armed conflict, are neither victims nor torturers. They chose something that is part of life, and so they have to accept both the agony and the ecstasy of their choice.

And those who have never been wounded in love will never be able to say: “I have lived”. Because they haven’t.

I hope someday you find someone whom you could share…

your thoughts, your dreams, your joys and pains.

To be with someone, and have a witness to your life as you see.

12:30 / 11.15.07

It’s raining! ….
And I’m trying to replace the ink cartridge in our printer, hubby usually does this thing but as my dad needs some documents to print I have to do the task. I search for *how to replace ink cartridge* in the hp director, got my answer, read it then try to follow the instructions. I successfully removed the empty cartridge, madali naman pala eh, but putting the new one is a different thing, susme! It took me a long time (as in loooong ) to FINALLY and SUCCESFULLY put that damn ink cartridge!

And now no need to wait or ask hubby to put a new ink cartridge. It’s a good feeling to know and do something new ;)

When will you have the courage to settle some “fears”?

In due time,

Stories about arrogance by Paulo Coelho

The arrogance of power

The master and his disciple were talking at a street corner when an old woman came up to them:
"Get away from my window!" shouted the old lady. "You are disturbing the customers". The master apologized and crossed over to the other sidewalk.
They went on talking until an officer came up to them and said: "We need you to move away from this sidewalk. The count will be passing by here in a few moments".
"Let him use the other side of the street", answered the master, without moving. Then he turned to his disciple and told him: "Don’t forget: never be arrogant to the humble. And never be humble to the arrogant."

The arrogance of sanctity

The Zen monk spent ten years meditating in his cave, trying to find out the path to the Truth. While he was praying one afternoon, a monkey came up to him. The monk tried to concentrate, but the monkey drew closer and seized the monk’s sandal.
“Damned monkey!” said the hermit. “Why have you come to disturb my prayers?”
“I’m hungry,” said the monkey.
“Go away! You are disturbing my communicating with God!”
“How can you talk to God if you cannot manage to communicate with humble creatures like me?” said the monkey.
And the monk apologized, feeling ashamed.

The arrogance of force

The village was threatened by a tribe of barbarians. The inhabitants were abandoning their houses and fleeing to a safer place. At the end of a year they had all left – except a group of Jesuits.
The army of barbarians entered the city without any resistance and held a great feast to commemorate the victory. In the middle of the dinner a priest appeared.
“You came in here and drove out peace. I beg you to leave at once.”
"Why haven’t you fled yet?" shouted the chief of the barbarians. "Don’t you see that I can run you through with my sword without blinking an eye?"
The priest answered calmly:
"Don’t you see that I can be run through by a sword without blinking an eye?"
Surprised by such serenity before death, the chief of the barbarians and his tribe abandoned the place the next day.

The arrogance of envy

In the Syrian desert, Satan told his disciples: "Human beings are always more concerned about wishing evil on others than doing good to themselves".
And to demonstrate what he was saying, he decided to test two men who were resting nearby.
"I have come to make your wishes come true", he said to one of them. "Whatever you want will be given to you. Your friend will receive the same thing – except double".
The man remained in silence for a long while, and then he finally said: "My friend is content because he will have double, no matter what my wish is. But I have prepared a trap for him: my wish is that you make me blind in one eye".

You

2007-08-16T14:53:00.000+08:00

I read on a Gail Tsukiyama book (Night of Many Dreams)…

It scared her to think that you couldn’t really know someone, not even your own sister, if she didn’t want you to...

It makes me think.
Indeed that only you knows the real YOU.
As much as what others think or feel,
only YOU knows what your true being is.
It’s up to you how much are you willing to give,
how much are you willing to share
and how much are you willing to bear.
