"When we all relate to each other as we would like to receive
if our roles are reversed, we move closer to utopia. Every one
of us can bring this closer, starting now. This includes how
we relate to our own family, our neighbors and how we use our
wealth and opportunities to help entire nations that lack our
advantages."

-- Bill Blackman

Lucky by Jason Mraz

Do you hear me,
I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh ooh ooh ooh

They don’t know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I’ll wait for you I promise you, I will

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I’m sailing through the sea
To an island where we’ll meet
You’ll hear the music fill the air
I’ll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you’re all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I’m lucky we’re in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it's not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I've got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.

10 Tips to Make Facebook Easier to Navigate

E-mail Alerts

We can't be logged into Facebook 24/7 to see everything that happens. Or at least not without our brain becoming mush. E-mail notifications help keep us connected even when we're not, well, connected. To manage e-mail notifications, select the "Settings" link in the top right-hand corner of a Facebook page. Click Notifications and check the boxes for those actions you want to trigger e-mail alerts.
Change Your Profile Pic
Want to change your old profile picture? Move the cursor over the upper right-hand corner of your current photo and select the "Change Picture" link that pops up. From there, you can choose from a number of steps to take. To use a photo in which you're already tagged, select the "Make Profile Picture" link at the bottom right-hand corner of the photo.
Ignoring/Removing Friends
Ignoring requests to be friends on Facebook, no matter how fleeting the acquaintance, or even if there's been no introduction, can be awkward. While we can't help you from feeling guilt from ignoring that erstwhile friend, we can help you do so without broadcasting it. When you get an unwanted friend request, click "ignore." This will remove the request from your Requests list without telling the would-be friend. However, they will be able to send you another friend request in the future. But if you take no action on the request someone has sent they will not be able send you another friend request. You can also remove friends by scrolling down to the bottom left side of their Facebook profiles and clicking the "Remove from Friends."
Editing Your Profile
Want to make changes to your Facebook profile info? Go to your profile page, click "Edit My Profile" under your profile photo. Anything you change will be updated immediately.
Suggestions to Help Friends
We mentioned in the introduction that not everyone has been with Facebook since its barebones inception in 2004. For those of you who have new Facebook friends who need help on the vast site, the new Suggestions in the right-hand corner of your home page will help you help your friends. While this section has traditionally shown people that you may know and want to share with, it will also suggest that you help a new Facebook friend by suggesting friends for him if he's only connected.
Tag This!
Twitter made tagging a big deal with the @ symbol and now Facebook does it, too. When you write a status update and want to include a friend's name, add the "@" symbol before you start. As you type the name, a drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and Pages. Friends you tag in your status updates will receive a notification and a Wall post linking them to your post. They also will have the option to remove tags of themselves from your posts.
Facebook Events
To make it easier for you to invite friends to parties, Facebook added the ability to invite friends to an event based on who was invited to past events you've attended. To invite friends to a new Facebook event, click on the tab labeled "Filter Friends" in the upper-left corner. The drop-down menu will display the five most recent events you either created or attended in the past month. When you click on one of these events, you will see all of your friends who were invited to that event.
Better Facebook Search
Have you noticed that searching Facebook for friends has gotten better? Earlier this year, Facebook improved its search service to let users not only search the last 30 days of their News Feed for content being shared by friends, but to also filter those searches to view only posts by friends or posts by everyone.
Facebook Publisher
Publisher is the main place to add content such as photos, videos and status updates on your home page and profile. You can control what you share with whom from the publisher by using the lock icon in the lower-right corner of the Publisher to access the drop-down menu.
Facebook Chat
Some Facebook users may not know they can instant message their friends right from the bottom right-hand corner of their Facebook account with a feature called Facebook Chat. From this bar, users can view their list of online friends and open conversations with them. You can also filter connections in Chat. To create a new list, select the "Friend Lists" menu on the Chat pane, enter a new list name and drag the names of people to include into the list.

Everything

by Shamaya

Every new beginning,
comes from some beginnings end.

Every time you kill me,
I am born again.

Every time you close that door,
Another door is opened.

And every time you say goodbye,
a different word is spoken.

Every time you look at me
my back is facing you,

And every time you ask to see me
I'll have something else to do.

Every time I join your game,
You're not playing fair,

And every time I really love you,
I pretend that I don't care.

I Knew I love You - Savage Garden

I love this love team, Yuki and Tohru from anime series Fruit Basket.


Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
(add the whos here)

A thousand angels dance around you
(and the whos here)
I am complete now that I've found you
(and the whos here)

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
(and the whos here)

I Don't Wanna Talk about It by Rod Stewart & Amy Belle

This song reminds me of my first love and first heartache...Telling the truth, hearing this songs nowadays, whoa, I don't really want to talk about it..lol.. I love the voice of Rod Stewart, soothing...and the girl on the video, Amy Belle, lovely voice...I want to hear it over again and again, relaxing voices.

Lyrics:
I can tell by your eyes that you've
probably been crying forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean
nothing to you they're a mirror

I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/GzKY ]
Oh oh my heart

If I stand all alone will the shadows
hide the colours of my heart
blue for tears, black for the night
fears the stars in the sky
don't mean nothing to you they're a mirror

I don't wanna talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here won't you listen to my heart
Oh oh my heart

10 Best Places for Technology Jobs in 2009

The U.S. News & World Report’s "The 10 Best Places for Tech Jobs" factors in the following criteria for making the list: number of opportunities relative to education, geography of job openings in a broad range of tech-specific job categories, supply and demand ratios, salary, and cost of living. Now there are some nontraditional places for technology work.

Atlanta
This competitive-salary city for tech ranked "high in volume of tech job openings in early September and had an above-average ratio of tech openings to employees for many IT occupations, including computer programmer, software engineer and systems analyst."

Boston
MIT, Harvard and 72 other colleges and universities in New England make Beantown a must-be place for technology workers of all stripes. "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that programmers and software applications engineers in nearby Lowell, Mass., rank among the highest paid in all U.S. metro areas."

Houston
NASA: We don't have a problem. Well, there was that whole Enron debacle back in the day, but now, Houston has gotten over that and is home to many IT companies that cater to the specific technology needs of the energy sector. As the report surmises, "Houston ranks high for total tech job postings and has above-average ratios for tech job postings to employment in multiple occupations." Energy is needed in all times, recession or not, and tech is there to help.

Huntsville, Ala.
Houston isn't the only city that has a NASA and aerospace presence. Huntsville, Ala., boasts a large research park, Cummings Research Park, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. "More than 300 companies in the area are focused on designing and producing electronics and computer-related technology, according to the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County."

New York
Big city means big opportunities, but not only in financial services IT. Health care IT is expected to rise in the Big Apple. "A new report from the Center for an Urban Future finds that New York's roster of health care providers, plus its flank of health technology companies, could make the city an ideal spot to capture health-IT dollars."

Phoenix
Between Arizona State University, domain-registrar GoDaddy and a host of large offices from Microsoft, Oracle and smaller companies, Phoenix claims more than "4,200 high-tech companies and 81,000 jobs." According to the report, Phoenix "ranks high in overall tech job openings and in the ratios of job openings to employment for several IT jobs."

San Diego
Historically known for a large military presence with the Navy and Marines, San Diego is a big college town and research in technology is big business here. San Diego is home to many startups and venture-capital-backed companies. As the article points out, salaries in San Diego are high: "San Diego also ranks fourth for tech salary pay, according to Glassdoor data, above the more expensive cities of Washington, New York and Boston."

San Francisco
It's the closest to Silicon Valley, so no surprise here, though the Valley has been hit hard by the recession, especially in chip manufacturing. The San Francisco metropolitan area is faring better with software development and smaller startups. It's poised to return from the recession with its proximity to the big players of technology including Google, Oracle and Apple.

Seattle
It's not all about Microsoft, with more than 700 tech companies and groups. "Seattle had among the highest demand ratios for computer software application engineers relative to supply. This city's tech employees rank third highest in average pay, higher than considerably more expensive cities such as New York and Washington."

Washington, D.C.
This recession is spurring some expansion of federal programs aimed at improving the country's infrastructure, green energy and security—all requiring a large presence of technology workers. More than 11,000 technology jobs are expected to be filled in D.C. by 2012.

Where did I come from?

This post is for all the moms out there. :D

Johnny, 7 years old, comes to his mother and says, "Where did I come from?"

The mother gulps and asks, "What did you say?"

Johnny repeats "Where did I come from?"

The mother is ready this time. "Well, it's about time you ask that question. Dad and I have been thinking you would. You see, Johnny, your Dad and Mom love each other a lot. Because of that, we sometimes lie close to each other and something called sperm passed between Daddy and Mommy. It happened about 8 years ago and you were conceived. You started to grow in Mommy's tummy and Mommy's tummy get bigger every month.
I went to see Dr. Brown. He checked my tummy every month to make sure you were growing okay. My tummy got bigger and bigger for 9 months. And then I went to the hospital. Daddy and Dr. Brown were there. Johnny, you know where you came from? You came out of Mommy's tummy, that's where you came from!"

Johnny's face was one of great puzzlement. "Wow!", he said. "That's the most incredible story I've ever heard. Frank, my friend, comes from Boston and I was just wondering where I came from!".

Love and Time

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

Knowing Your Soulmate?

I am quite interested in soulmate topic and find this one interesting.

Have you ever met someone that you had an instant connection with? They were easy to be with and you felt like you could share anything with them. Maybe you felt like you had met before. If you have ever encountered anyone like that, chances were they were a soulmate. Some people spend their entire lives looking for one. The fortunate find theirs and spend the rest of their lives together. Finding your soulmate can be an exhilarating experience while losing them can be devastating. But how do you know if someone is your soulmate? You are likely to meet numerous people in your life that feel an attraction to. Does that mean that they are a soulmate or is it just a normal infatuation? Before you decide, you need to know what a soulmate is.

A soulmate is the twin to your soul. It is your perfect partner, one whom you feel a deeper connection to than anyone else. You can also call it true love. Some people have different beliefs about a soulmate. Some people believe that a soulmate is a lover from a previous life. Others think that a soulmate is a piece of your soul that was palced within another person. That is why you spend your life looking for the other half. Whatever you happen to believe, a soulmate is more than just simple physical attraction. It goes deep and can make you more complete than any crush or infatuation.

Chances are there is more than one soulmate out there for you. You are attracted to different people for different reasons and the odds are there is going to be several people who share the same traits as you. These people you will feel closer to. So don’t worry that you have never found (or even lost) your one soulmate. There are many people that might fit the bill.

Is that person you met last night your soulmate? You both connected so well and you feel comfortable with them so they could be, right? But how do you know? Well, that is the real trick. You don’t know. It could take years before you find out if someone is your soulmate or not. This is why so many people who are obsessed with finding their soulmate miss out on opportunities. They think there will be a lightning bolt that comes down to point their true love out to them. If they don’t get that jolt of instant love that is so popular in movies and romance novels, then they keep looking. By doing this, they could actually miss out on a meaningful relationship. They might even miss their soulmate. So you can never really tell.

Do You Like The Same Things

Even though there is not a flashing neon sign pointing out your soulmate, there are some clues and indicators that the person you are interested in may be the one you are looking for. One good indicator is whether you like the same things. Similar interests are good clues that a person is your soulmate. This doesn’t mean that if you both like pizza then you are soulmates. Almost everyone likes pizza. But if both of you like the same odd things, such as broccoli and anchovies pizza (hey, its just an example) then that is a big indicator that you are both compatible.

How Comfortable Are You With Them

Many times when you first meet someone you are interested in, you may feel nervous and have trouble acting like yourself when they are around. If you are with your soulmate, you may not feel nervous at all. It may feel very comfortable or almost familiar. You may find that you don’t have to act a certain way to impress them. Many people who claim they have found their soulmate say that they never once felt nervous or awkward in the other’s presence. It was as if they had been together for a lot longer.

Do You Feel You Could Tell Them Your Deepest Secrets

Trust is always an issue in any relationship. You may love someone but you might not be able to trust them with everything. You might feel that you have to keep secrets from them. If you should ever be so lucky as to find a soulmate, you will find that you feel as if you can tell them anything. All of your hopes, dreams, and even your deepest secrets should find a safe haven with a soulmate. If you can have complete trust of the person that you are with, then they are a good candidate for your true love.

Finding Your Soulmate

How do you find your soulmate? It can be like the hunt for the holy grail. You can keep searching and searching and never find it. But have you ever heard the expression that when you are actively looking for love you never find it but when you are not looking for love, that is when it finds you. Sometimes finding your soulmate is like that. Sure, you can go out to the clubs and social events and go through candidates like a line at the buffet. But you can’t force it to happen. Yet at the same time, you can’t be a shut-in who is waiting for fate to do all the work. If you never go out to meet people, you will never meet your true love. Don’t sit around being lonely and waiting to be rescued by your true love. To find your soulmate, you need to be happy on your own. If you are desparate, then it is too easy to mistake infatuation for true love. So you have to get out there and meet people but don’t scrutinize each and every person trying to find that perfect match. It is better to just relax, have fun, and take joy from the people that you do meet. Sooner or later, your soulmate may come along.

10 Essential Health Tips

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!
2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!
3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.
4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.
5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can't live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It's a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: 'Smoke gets in your eyes'…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.
6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.
7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it's because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don't? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body's boss.
8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.
9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can't be unhappy when you're smiling or singing.
10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn't mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.

100 Heavenly Words

When was the last time I've heard from you? Well, I just want you to know that I miss you so much. How I'd wish that you would talk to me again. I love you. Sender: Jesus.

Jesus asked me how much I love Him so I spread my arms and said "This much". I asked God how much He loves me. He spread his arms and said "This is how I died for you."

I died with Jesus And with Him was buried; Yet raised from the dead, with a new life to live.

Hello, how are you today? May Christ shine in everything you do, with a prayer that you'll always be safe, not only today, but always.

Jesus Christ died for me, And now I live for Him; To Heaven He ascended, my place to prepare.

The new life I have is a life lived by Jesus; At the right hand of God, He directs my path.

I am dead to sin but alive to God in Christ; Possessing the glorious hope, with Jesus in eternal life.

I've known you before you knew me. I tried to get your attention, but you're so busy. I want you to give all and make you mine. I proved my love when I gave you my life. [JESUS]

Jesus is where I need Him, and I am where His love is. Why should I ever worry if He is always beside me?

One missed call, no one answered. Missed 1: Jesus. But He will never stop calling, no matter how many times you missed His calls... till you hear and answer. Jesus Loves You.

Never a weakness that He can't fill. Never a sickness that He can't heal. Never a sorrow that He doesn't share. Moment by moment- you are under Jesus care.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, no matter how far or how long, Jesus Christ will always be there for you.

I love you and I miss you. If you have time, can you please talk to me before working. Always remember Me whether in good or bad times, okay. Sender: Jesus.

Prayer is an open line to Heaven. No cards to use, no low bat problem, no error, no charging, always good signal, and all messages sent. Make prayer a habit like texting.

What's the fastest thing on earth? Bullet? Nah... Sound? Not quite. Light? Almost. Answer: Prayer. Because it reaches Heaven even before you can say it. Have a nice day.

Prayer is not an extra option nor is it a last resort when all other methods have failed. When man works, man works. But when man prays, God works!

When earthly help is no avail, there's one friend who will never fail. Just lift your eyes, the answer is there. For nobody knows the power of prayer. Have a worry free day!

Prayer is the key that opens your day to every blessing. It also is a lock that closes the night to keep you safe while sleeping. So what you have to do is "use your key all the time."

Smile! It will make you look better. Pray, it will keep you strong. Love, it will make you enjoy life.

Daily Prayer: Whatever plans I have in mind, Lord I surrender them to You. I will do the best I can but in the end, let Your will be done. Amen!

No mater how softly you whisper a prayer, God surely listens, understands and knows the hopes and fears you keep in your heart. For when you trust in His love, miracles happen!

Morning Prayer: I'll walk this day in faith dear Lord. No foe, no storm I'll fear. Trusting in your precious word, I'm safe for You are near.

We are always excited whenever we hear our text tone beeps. What more would God feel if we can also send Him text messages thru our prayers; free of charge?

I ask God to... make you happy, make you smile, guide you safely through every mile; grant you wealth, give you health, and most of all, give you care and love you well.

May the love of God always shine in your life, as you become a light for others. Have a pleasant day. God bless.

Like the rain can't be stopped from falling, God's love and blessing keep on pouring. I hope you woke up renewed and refreshed and comforted by His company.

New day, new blessings. Don't let yesterday's failures ruin the beauty of today. Blessings of God are new every morning. Today has its own promise of love, forgiveness, joy and success.

As the sky breaks into a beautiful sunrise, may God open the heavens to shower you lots of love and happiness to make your day a meaningful one. Good Morning!

God unfolds each day like the petals of a rose, each gentle touch a beauty to behold. Hope each of your moments today be so held with His tender loving care.

Let prayer be the key to open and close your day.

A special breakfast for you today: a plate of love, a bowl of peace, a spoon of hope, a fork of care, and a glass of prayer. Enjoy your meal for you are under God's care.

Mornings are reminders that God loves you! You're not just given another day to enjoy but a chance to right the wrong of yesterday.

Before you start your day, have a quiet time with the Lord. Commit to the Lord Jesus whatever you do and your plans will succeed, each in his own time.

Prayer seeks for wisdom, not simply answers. It looks for courage, not simply help. It seeks for the gift of persistence, not only quick solutions. God bless you.

Don't run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps. He has plans. He has time. God's clock is never early nor late. It always strikes on time. Good am.

The loveliest day comes when you wake up one morning and discover the truth that love still colors our world. How lovely to be loved by Jesus. Good morning!

May God send his love like sunshine in his warm and gentle ways to fill every corner of your heart and give your day a good start?

As the dawn breaks into a beautiful sunrise, may God shower you His blessings of love and lead you always to the right path.

God smiled at me just this morning thru the rising sunrays. I'm sharing the same courtesy with you by sending you a warm smile that your heart can feel even without seeing.

God created mornings so that we can say how great the previous day has been and how wonderful the next 24 hours would be!

Sunrise makes our mornings beautiful but the words of God strengthen us and make our lives more meaningful. Smile & enjoy life!

God sprinkles tiny but wonderful seeds of blessings on earth each day...and I just caught one that's so nice and true...it's you!

God planted a seed of faith in our hearts, so all we had to do is water it with prayers, fertilize it with words of God and cultivate it with lots of love.

Life is like music. It has high notes and low notes. No mater how high or low your notes may be, keep in tune with God and you'll never go out of tune in the music of life.

You may not know where life's road will lead you. But keep moving. God is walking with you.

Everything in life is temporary coz everything changes! That's why it takes great courage to love, knowing it might end anytime... But having the faith, it will last forever!

God said "Build a better world." I said, "How? The world is such a complicated, cold dark place and there is nothing I can do." God said "Just build a better you."

Trusting God won't make the mountain smaller but it will make climbing easier. Hope you will be able to climb all your mountains today and every day. Have a great day ahead!

It's not how high you build your dream that makes a difference, but how high your faith can climb. It's not how much you accomplish but how many lives you touch.

Conscience: The inner voice that tells us that Someone is looking.

When you encounter problems in life, don't ask God to take them away. Ask Him to show His purpose. Ask ways how to live a day searching His purpose for you.

God has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand His wisdom but we simply have to trust His will. God bless you all the way.

May God give you a caring heart so that you can become a whole person, not just gifted with intellect that can understand, but with heart that truly cares and loves.

God answers prayers - YES: He gives you what you want; NO: He gives you something better; WAIT: He gives you His best in His time...

Only a fish knows the splendor of the sea. Only a Christian knows the glory of God.

Happy moments - praise God. Difficult moments - seek God. Busy moments - bless God. Quiet moments - worship God. Waiting moments - trust God. Painful moments - touch God. Lovely moments - thank God.

Be happy with what you have...while working for what you want...Remember, a happy and successful life...begins with God and ends for God.

Live life with a joyful heart and keep your spirit young and free! Stay true and firm to Jesus Christ! And be the best that you can be! Take care!

It's not the presence of someone that brings meaning to Life. But the way Someone touches your HEART gives LIFE a Beautiful Meaning.

Don't work too hard to give yourself the best of everything, instead make a greater effort to give God the best of yourself.

God gave you a promise that you wont have to face life alone...for when you grow weak in your struggles, His strength will prevail and not your own.

Journey to God starts with one small step at a time. He doesn't expect you to run the mile -- but HE promises to give you strength to go the distance.

I can love you but God can love you deeper. I can be a friend but God can be your best friend. I can hug you but God can envelope you. You can cry to me but God can dry your tears. I can hold your hand but God can carry you.

When God puts a tear in your eye, it's because He wants to put a rainbow in your heart.

God often uses small matches to light up great torches and no matter how small you feel in this world, He has something big in store for you.

Life is good when somebody remembers. Life is uplifting when someone is always there. Life is great when someone would protect you and suffer. Cherish life because Someone always cares.

Search for truth and you shall find beauty. Search for beauty and you shall find love. Search for love and you shall find God. Search for God and you shall have them all!

In God's eyes, love is never absent. In God's heart, forgiveness is never impossible. In God's embrace, no one is ever alone or forgotten. God Bless!

God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives us something better when He takes something away.

I go to EAST, I go to WEST. I found so many good things, but GOD is the BEST.

Walk with the Lord when your heart needs company. Take His hand when you feel all alone. Turn to Him when you need someone to lean on. He's the only one you can always rely on.

God made you a promise that you won't have to face life alone. For when you grow weak in your struggles, His strength will prevail and not your own.

God can reach each falling tears. He sees the heart that needs a cheer. He knows the path that's hard and dear. Don't ever give up coz He is near.

God often uses small matches to light up great torches and no matter how small you feel in this world, He has something big in store for you.

Step by step, the journey goes on. Little by little it may seem so long. The things we learn will keep us on. With faith in God He'll keep us strong.

Falling in love with the Lord is the greatest romance; searching Him, the greatest adventure; finding HIM, the greatest achievement; and being with HIM, the greatest source of happiness.

God said don't look around because you'll be impressed. Don't look down you'll be depressed; just look to me all the time and you'll be blessed.

The Lord is waiting above to give you His grace and send you His love. Whatever your cross, whatever the pain, God always sends a rainbow after the rain.

If you have a problem, don't say "Hey I have a big problem." Rather say, "Hey problem, I have a great GOD."

In God's eyes, love is never absent. In God's heart, forgiveness is never impossible. In God's embrace, no one is ever alone or forgotten. God Bless!

When God closes a door, He opens a window... but at times He shuts both. Worry not for He would tear down the roof... so His blessings could overflow. God Bless!

When God drops needles and pins along your path in life, don't avoid them. Pick them up and collect them. They were designed to teach you to be stronger.

God did not promise days without pain; laughter without sorrow; sun without rain. But He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears; and light four our way.

Just sleep tight and thank God for the wonderful things He has blessed you. Be grateful and thank Him, coz He will give you more important things.

Even if I can't see you, don't worry God will always be there for you.

God will never leave you empty. He will replace everything you lost. If He asks you to put something down, it's because He wants you to pick up something greater.

God is truly wise. He made sadness so we'd know joy, pain so we'd have pleasure, war so we'd seek peace, hate so we can love and a morning so we can face a new day.

Step by step, the journey goes on. Little by little it may seem so long. The things we learn will keep us on. With faith in God He'll keep us strong.

A word of love gives spice to life. A word from a friend gives pleasure and happiness to the heart. And the word of God gives light and meaning to our lives. Good morning.

If you keep God inside your heart, there is nothing that will come into your life that you won't be able to handle.

Sometimes GOD pushes us to our LIMITS...HE tests us beyond our ENDURANCE, because He has greater FAITH in us than we have in ourselves!

God makes us brave when we're afraid, makes us strong when we are weak, but most of all, he teaches us to hold on to him when things keep falling.

Trusting God won't make the mountain smaller but it will make climbing easier. Hope you will be able to climb all your mountains today and every day. Have a great day ahead!

Don't let little things get you down. You've got many big reasons to look up to God and say thanks. It's going to be a great day.

God sees you just exactly as you are He sees you perfectly and more truly than people can, and He loves you more than you can ever imagine.

When things are not working as we expect them to be, take it as God's subtle way of teaching us to grow. The process may be difficult but it will surely bring the best out of you. God bless.

Little trials without God will break you. Big trials with God will make you great. May you always find strength in God's love and faithfulness.

God can reach each falling tears. He sees the heart that needs a cheer. He knows the path that's hard and dear. Don't ever give up coz He is near.

No one has traveled the road of success without ever crossing the street of failures. GOD never promised us an easy journey in life, only safe arrival.

In the ocean of life, God is our buoyant force. No matter how strong the wind and how gigantic the waves are, we will not sink because we are anchored to Him."

A Box Full of Kisses

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Quotes from movies...

"There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me, there are some love that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky to end up with that somebody who has a little of tha insanity. Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever."
--- Ally Mc Beal

I know it's a cornball thing, but love is passion,obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart... Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived... Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike.

---Ally McBeal

I hate the way you talk to me And the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick --
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh --
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way
I don't hate you --
Not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all.

Lois: You know, if somebody had asked me three days ago who the one person in the world I admired most was, I'd have said you. But, without really knowing what that meant. Without understanding that the hardest thing about being you is all the things you can't do. All the cries
for help that you can't answer, and how that quietly tears you apart. But it never stops you. And after living a little of that myself, I realized something...something I never thought was possible.

For the rest of my life
Because I know in my heart
You are the only one for me.
---RUNAWAY BRIDE

Dear Catherine,

I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in so long. I feel I've been lost. No bearings, no compass. I kept crashing into things, a little crazy I guess. I've never been lost before. You were my true north.
I could always steer for home when you were my home. Forgive me for being so angry when you left. I still think some mistake's been made and I'm waiting for God to take it back. But I'm doing better now. The work helps me. Most of all, you help me. You came into my dream last night with that smile of yours that always held me like a lover, rocked me like a child. All I remember
from the dream is a feeling of peace. I woke up with that feeling and tried to keep it alive as long as I could. I'm writing to tell you that I'm on a journey toward that peace. And to tell you I'm sorry about so many things. I'm sorry I didn't take better care o! f you so that you never spent one minute being cold or scared or sick. I'm sorry I didn't try harder to find the words to tell you
what I was feeling. I'm sorry I never fixed the screen door. I fixed it now. I'm sorry I ever fought with you. I'm sorry I didn't apologize more. I was too proud. I'm sorry I didn't bring you more compliments on everything you wore and every way you fixed your hair. I'm sorry I didn't hold
on to you with so much strength that even God couldn't pull you away.
All my love. G.

I love that after i spend a day with you, i can still smell your perfume on my clothes. and i love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night. and it's not because i'm lonely, and it's not because it's new Year's eve. i came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

When you love someone,
And you love them with your heart,
It never disappears when you're apart.
When you love someone
And you've done all you can do,
You set them free.
And if that love was true,
When you love someone
It will all come back to you

Breakup rule No. 3: Never stop thinking about him, even for a moment. because that's the moment he'll appear. And finally, the most important breakup rule: No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you'll never get through it without your friends.

Do you believe in love? I bet you don't, you're probably too sensible for that. Have you ever seen someone and you know that if only that person really know you, they'd dump the perfect model they were with and realize that you are the one they want to grow old with? Have you ever fallen in love with someone you've never talked to? Have you ever been so alone you spent the night confusing a guy in a coma?

The Pink Dress

There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. Everyone passed by her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people passed by her, but no one would stop. The next day I decided to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the little girl would still be there. Yes, she was there, right in the very spot where she was yesterday, and still with the same sad look in her eyes. Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl. For as we all know, passed by and made no effort to speak to her. Deformities are a low blow to our society and, heaven forbid if you make a step toward assisting someone who is different. As I got closer, the little girl lowered her eyes slightly to avoid my intent stare. As I approached her, I could see the shape of her back more clearly. She was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form.I smiled to let her know it was OK; I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple,
"Hello"
The little girl acted shocked, and stammered a "hi" after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me with a sad face said,
"Because, I'm different";
I immediately said,
"That you are!", and smiled.
The little girl acted even sadder and said, "I know."
"Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent."
She looked at me and smiled, then slowly she got to her feet and said, "Really?"
"Yes, you're like a little Guardian Angel sent to watch over all people walking by."
She nodded her head yes, and smiled. With that she opened the back of her pink dress and allowed her wings to spread, then she said "I am. " I'm your Guardian Angel," with a twinkle in her eye.
I was speechless -- sure I was seeing things.
She said, "For once you thought of someone other than yourself. My job here is done"
I got to my feet and said, "Wait, why did no one stop to help an angel?"
She looked at me, smiled, and said, "You're the only one that could see me," and then she was gone.
And with that, my life was changed dramatically. So, when you think you're all you have, remember, your angel is always watching over you.

LOSING WEIGHT TIPS AND TRICKS

BEST DIET BREAKFAST
Say goodbye to bagels. Researchers from Louisiana State University System tracked people on a low-cal diet and found that those who ate two eggs in the morning lost 65 percent more weight than those who had a bagel breakfast with the same number of calories.Plus,the egg eaters’ cholesterol levels didn’t go up. How did they shed the extra pounds? Compared with the bagel group, they felt fuller after breakfast and ate fewer calories during the day.
LISTEN TO LOOSE
Exercising to the right song can help you get fitter. Music helped participants work out longer. The key is to find tunes that get you going. Once you sit down to eat,however, silence is best. A study showed that people munched more when music was playing. (hmmm, is this the reason why almost restaurants have music around).
REFRESH YOUR ROUTINE
No longer feeling the burn from your daily walk? Weight loss may plateau becausemuscle memory kicks in when you do the same exercise over and over. Challenge your body and use up more fuel by giving different muscle groups a jolt. Mix it up: Do some laps in the pool or try some high-intensity power yoga.
GOBBLE BEFORE YOU GULP!
Grab a snack before you sip. Drinking caffeine or alcohol, especially on an empty stomach, encourages insulin to floodgate into the bloodstream. The result is the activation of cortisol, a fat-storing hormone. If you can’t live without your morning latte, drink only after a nibble of healthy fats, it’ll help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

8 BETTER WAYS TO STAY FRESH ALL DAY (without really trying)

1. Been in the kitchen too long?

Remove kitchen smells from your hair by smoking it with some scented candle or incense sticks. Light up a candle or incense and set it down nearby. Let the smoke waft your way and whenever you pass by, fan the scent your way into your hair.
2. Herbs aren’t just for cooking
For a quick aromatherapy pick-me-up, run your hands lightly over the leaves of a rosemary plant and rub the essential oils into your wrist or neck. To clear garlic breath, grab a couple of fresh mint leaves and chew, chew, chew. For nausea, sniff some sliced ginger.
3. Brush your …skin?
Always keep an old, soft, natural-bristle brush within arm’s reach of your desk at home or in the office. When you have a minute to spare, brush your arms and legs with a long soft strokes and see your dead skin flying away. This gentle massage also stimulates your skin’s natural oil production.
4. Potato juice for your eyes
Forget cucumber slices. Did you know that the starchy juice from grated potatoes is great for treating dark under-eyes? Potato juice has a whitening enzyme called catecholase that can brighten your eye area quickly. Grate some spuds, squeeze it, dip cotton balls into the juice and apply directly unto the under-eye area. Let dry and wash off after 30minutes.
5. Do not underestimate the power of mouthwash
Mouthwash keeps your breath smelling fresh longer because it kills 99.9% of germs that cause bad breath.
6. Clean dirty nails quickly
Clean stained nails with an old toothbrush and whitening toothpaste. Scrub around the cuticle and under the nail. For stubborn stains, scary as it may sound, dip your fingers quickly in bleach and brush the stains off.
7. Use honey to sweeten your look
If you’re fighting acne or have an infected cut anywhere on your body, grab some raw honey from the pantry and dab it on the affected area. Honey is actually an ancient remedy and is known to be one of nature’s most effective anti-bacterial creations.
8. Upgrade to a better odor fighting protection
With all the chores that need to be done, your personal hygiene should not just be a second priority. Remember that no matter what time of the month, your body produces natural fluids that’s part of any healthy woman’s reproductive cycle.

Behind Every Transactions...Is a Computer

Many people now take it for granted, that by simply inserting a card into an ATM, punching few keys in few seconds, their monies come out. Imagine!, when you call in Airlines Customer Service and inquire about next flights, the person on the other line can now tell in few seconds the time of departure as well as the availability of seats.
The two scenarios described above would simply be impossible without that marvelous device called computer. In both cases, computers were used to access bank customer records and flight schedules in seconds. Nowadays, more and more businesses depend on computers. Some tasks that used to take hours of manual labor now require just several minutes of computer processing time. As a result, both productivity and customer service has improved.
Computers, powerful as they are, cannot think for themselves. In addition to data, they need to be provided with instructions on how to process data: such instructions are called programs. The proliferation of computers in business has led to relatively new job descriptions such as programmers and systems analysts. The computer job market has come to a point that people with extensive programming and systems analysis experience are often in demand both here and abroad.
The world of computers is both fascinating and interesting. The next time you withdraw cash from an automated teller machine, remember: behind every transaction is a computer and the people who run it.

Rumors: Why they hurt and why you shouldn’t pass them on

Rumor is defined as unverified information of uncertain origin, usually spread by word of mouth.
When things are unclear and there’s a lack of information, people tend to read on situations and make up stories. They rush to “feel the void” with speculations, opinions, and questions that may have little or no factual basis. That’s when rumors start to spread. The most common workplace rumors are about personnel changes, job security and job satisfaction.
Rumors are especially damaging because they exemplify three characteristics of crisis: suddenness, uncertainty and urgency.
Remember the game you used to play when you were still a kid? You’d whisper a sentence to the person next to you. Then the whisper would be passed on the person next to him or her, and then the last one to hear it would say it aloud. Then you’d all erupt in laughter because often, the final words bore no resemblance to the original sentence.
