Flowers Anyone…

The only thing i admire during wakes and burials are flowers.   Flowers grace the occassion that I think if those who are dead can see the flowers that is sent them – am sure they are happy.

But for now, everyone should know that the best time to give flowers is one is still alive and be able to appreciate or not appreciate the flowers that you gave.  But look at this flowers, if you receive them, don’t you think you wlll feel so happy?
Don’t you think it’s very lovely?

Not all people are showy of how they feel. Not all people are vocal too of what they feel — so to make their feelings show, they give flowers. If one has no time to go downtown to pick fresh flowers, florist shop is just a click away. All you need to do is order online or call their tollfree number at 1-888-801-3888.  Your orders will be delivered at your desired time.  Even same day delivery flowers is available.  Isn’t that great?  So there is no more reason for you to send get well wishes with flowers to perk up their sad mood if they are sick, to make them happier on their birthdays, anniversaries, monthsaries, a promotion, or any occassion.  Actually, you don’t need an occassion to give flowers.  Right?  Am sure many will agree with me. 

I for one love flowers and yellow roses as shown above is one of my best composition of a bouquet.

It’s still bothering me

She is my friend.  He is her boyfriend.  He is my friend too because he is the boyfriend of my friend. 

She left with another guy leaving her boyfriend uninformed contradict to my advice to  really tell him everything – her plans, her hopes, and what she wanted to do.  Not just leave the guy stupid to think that it is still them and yet, she is already out with another.

She left for a place very far away.  One day, I got a message from him trying to ask me the “truth”  Of course, she is my friend, so I sort of lied that I don’t know the whole truth until he told me that he knows I know everything.  The girl too kept telling me “i should not tell him anything about the truth.”  Oh my goodness!  I had sleepless nights too reading the messages from him and I felt so guilty.  Until one time, I said, “am sorry.”  I just can’t tell you though I wanted to – she is my friend. 

She came back.  We met accidentally.  Until now, we haven’t gone out to bond yet.  I don’t feel it because few days after her arrival, she texted me she felt bad at me for telling “him” the truth.  Ohhh my god…I really wish any of you are my friends. I felt so bad of myself.  My reaction to her sms?  I said: 

I have to tell him the truth because since the you start meeting up with another someone, I feel he deserves to know the truth for the sake of good relationship.  You have hurt him so much of what you have done maybe not as much as you think he hurted you.  Even the thought you having a good time with someone somewhere and left him behind oblivious to what was really happening sounds so hurting already.  Am sorry – but at this point, i can say that we should stop lying na.  It dries up the soul.  It cruelly breaks whatever is left in the “won’t work relationship” – the respect if friendship is not achievable anymore.  I know you will thank me one day of what I have done.  I am hurt when you say – you feel bad at me.  You didn’t realize how much I covered for you – lied for you.  So I feel bad because I don’t deserve your bad feelings for what I have done.   Lying for you destroys my principles when it comes to honesty — but because I thought we have real deep friendship — I did something stupid.  Anyway, in whatever you do and whatever will happen in the future, don’t do to your present guy what you have done to my friend.  And may you be happy in your decision.  Living a life with honesty makes one so free.   And the most important – truth hurts. But there’s nothing more hurting than being left stupid.

Sorry I just have to let this out.  I haven’t spoken this yet to any soul except you, my friend.  Wish you could read me here and can understand fully my intension.  Then maybe I would be comfy go out and bond with you again.

WS # 4 – At Last!

Saturday 3/29/2008 was sort of like a “real” family for all of us. Enjoy the following week-end pics:

We attended the graduation exercises of my brother. At last!

~~~

This is only half of the whole graduating class. The whole scope can’t fit into my camera lens.

~~~

In line on his way to receive his diploma. (really?) hahaha

~~~

Hmmmm diploma na jud. hahahaha!

A Family picture. Hope this is a picture of success for them. Opps still partial sucess. hehehe

The original family. Miss my younger sis when we took this photo.

I have that nostalgic feeling seeing ozamis city from a distance as we were on our way back. I was thinking – when would I be back again. Guess not anymore.

Defender and Protector Here. :)

I was tagged by Vannie and thanks for this girl. There’s sth in here that made me realize am really made this way.  The result is not that bad.  I can just imagine it agrees na “mafeeling” talaga ako. hahaha

More details of my result- you can read it here.  Why not try yours, too.

Her Means

Last week – mom’s brother died. One of the siblings was in the US of A and to tell you what — if that sister is not out there, am positively 100% sure that my uncle who died will not have a decent burial. Well, maybe he can have but not as long as 10 days wake. Maybe right after he died, he will be brought straight to the cemetery.

I observed that when someone dies in my mom’s family, that sibling out in the US will be much burdened. Well, my aunt does not complain but those who can understand the whole situation, would feel bad. We pity our aunt but she told us — she is just helping. And the dead is her family, her family by blood so she feels the responsibility to help the immediate family to offer the dead a decent buria. Having someone died in the family these days especially here in the Philippines is not an easy thing. Sum up all the expenses – the burial lot, the coffin, the funeral parlor, the daily food (main food & snacks) for well wishers and etc. Ten Thousand pesos is not enough. So what my aunt did?

She bet! Thanks to usa USA onnline casinos it enabled her to send money home 3 times in the 10 days duration of wake at the funeral parlor. While her family here spend nights in the funeral parlor, she too out there on her off hours tried playing online casinos. The last time I heard of that, my heart really goes out to her. But she pleaded with her immediate family to leave her alone because she not only gaining some wins but it also divert her thoughts of the daily stresses of work, a sick hubby, and a lot of hands extended towards her asking for help. Tsk tsk tsk — poor aunt. Oppsss I am not included. Ok? She offered me help at times but I always tell her — to love herself, too. Not just other people.

It seems i can agree that online casinos can divert our minds from stresses of everyday life because of the good response to online casinos. So how about you? Have you tried playing casinos online or offline? Well, when I will start earning dollars, I wanna try that! hahahaha

Whose Here?

Am here.  I mean am back.  I feel i miss my blogs for sooo many days.  I know it is just few days (my last entry was Thursday) but I feel it has lasted many weeks already.  There were many moments from Thursday to today that I feel I have somethingto say or write but I was not able to do so.

I just want to say to all — am back and I hope i’m more active this week than the previous week.

I hope i can get back to all those who left comments and especially blog hop to sites that joined wordless wednesday and tell me thursday.  That’s one of the things in my “to do list” this week. — Bloghopping to those who dropped by.

Happy Sunday!

Tell Me Thursday #4 (3/27/08)

That picture below was taken in Chengde City, in the Hebei Province of PR China.  I guess Hebei is so wide that there are lots of interesting places to see within the province.  Anyway, that picture was taken at the part of the temple with a wide court infront of the big room where some prayers can be done.  Travelling to this place was really really interesting.  This temple is part of the big temple I posted in my previous WW - a replica of the Potala Temple in Tibet.

Will visit all TMT entries later.  Join us there!

WW # 9

more WW here.

Sad

What would you feel when you toil hard to earn money to be able to send your child to school. 

As i’ve mentioned in some of my posts before, I conclude that Nursing is one of the expensive courses offered by schools today.  No matter how barat one school is, RLE tuition is not cheap.  Good for the rich. But what about those who hardly make both ends meet but with high hopes that their son or daughter will graduate in nursing and will be able to work abroad (that’s the number one motivator these days why there’s a nursing fever in our country), you have to sell properties if the family has and of no property, you have to let go of the domesticated animals, even the meoowws and the aw aws just to generate funds to pay the tution. whew! 

Now, one day, just few days off before graduation day, the school will tell you that your son or daughter can’t march because grave misconduct.  It does not concern the opposite sex nor fighting someone but it involves only your son or daughter’s decision to do something grevious.  You as a mom or parent have high hopes to see your child march down the aisle of success and now — darkness fell over after hearing such a bad news.

My heart ached for that mom.  She almost fainted.  She cried softly hard but in awhile had trouble breathing.  My hand was shaking as I was getting water for her.  I feel for her and I feel for the son.   It was like I wanna scream at my son blaming him for the heartache he caused his mom.  One mom cried loudly but one teacher hugged her.  She went out of the office quiet but with crying eyes.

I have so many why’s to be asked to the students — but it’s better to keep my mouth shut.  But surely, I would feel sad.  Really, my heart was heavy witnessing what happened.
