the man every girl should have

In a brief conversation, a man, speaking to a woman, was out to pursue the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?"

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Reluctantly, he said, "Yes" as she began to expound...

"As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself.

I pay my own bills.

I take care of my household without the help of any man- or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?'"

The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.

She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money... I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said,

"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection Mentally. I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man.

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection Spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... Believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

I need a man who is striving for perfection Financially because I don't need a financial... burden.

I am looking for someone who is Sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but Strong enough to keep me grounded.

I am looking for someone who I can Respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... He just has to be worthy.

God made woman to be a helpmate for man. At this point, I can't help a man if he can't help himself."

When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face, and exclaimed, "You're asking for a whole lot!"

To which she gracefully replied...

"Only if you think I'm not WORTH a lot." =)

tagalog mushiness.

a realization when you ask LIFE why you fall for someone who's beyond your standards:

• bakit yung matino, napupunta sa bad?
• bakit yung seryoso, napupunta sa naglalaro?
• bakit yung mabait, napupunta sa pasaway?

ALAM MO KASI...

...pag binigay sayo ang katulad mo,
hindi ka matututong magbago para sa isang tao.
hindi mo malalaman ang mali sayo...
at pag walang nagbago sayo,
hindi mo malalaman kung nagmamahal ka nga ng totoo.

perspective

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.

 

P.S. And, remember...If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

 

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out

of work for years.

 

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person

who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman

in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

 

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance;

think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that

walk.

 

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer

patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

 

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all

about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who

didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

 

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,

ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

 

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have

touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day.

intelligence vs attitude

Intelligence can bring you to success.
But it's your attitude that keeps you there.

Remember:
"Good grades don't define a person. Attitude does."

love is not a noun to be defined,

but a verb to be acted upon.

a smart life

There are some things in life that aren't meant to last. They just take place in our lives so we will be smarter the next time.

You'll know you have the greatest friends when the only time they make you cry is when they make you laugh too hard.

There's nothing scarier than getting what you really, really want because then, you'd have something really, really wonderful to lose.

Be grateful that you don't have everything you want. It only means you have the opportunity to be happier tomorrow than you were today.

i was walking over a tall tree, suddenly a fruit nut fell down on my head & it did hurt me. i looked up at the tree & realized..

"do i need to be hurt first before i look up above?"

He knows BEST.

God knows what's best for us, 

so why should we complain?

We always want the sunshine,

but He knows there must be rain.

We love the sound of laughter & the merriment of cheer,

but our hearts will loose their tenderness if we never shed a tear.

God tests us often with suffering & sorrow.

He tests us not to punish us but to help us meet tomorrow.

So whenever we're in trouble & everything goes wrong,

it is God working on us to make our spirits strong.

Your will be done.

Do not presume to know what's best when you begin to pray, but say to God,

"Your will be done."

Then trust His perfect way.

REMAIN SINGLE OR GET MARRIED?

 i got this from Job Wahiman's posted link on Multiply.
(here's the original link.)

Ask yourselves this question.... Am i ready to get married or should i wait a little longer?  Next question is, wait a little longer for what?  Hhhmmm.... Okay next question is Are you prepared emotionally, financially, physically and spiritually?

Why do you want to get married?  Common answers we get are the following:
     1.  I just want to start a family of my own.
     2.  I'm already over staying at my parents house.
     3.  All my friends are married already.
     4.  My dad / mom says so.
     5.  It's an arranged marriage.
     6.  "Ah eh.... Pastor, may nangyari na kase eh" (tsk tsk.... we call this Carriage before Marriage).
     7.  I just want to, and i'm walking down the aisle with the guy who is handsome and rich.
     8.  Our parents want to keep the business intact, and they want us children to take over in the future (similar to arranged marriage).
     9.  "Last trip na, mahuhuli na ako!"
    10.  I want to have someone whom i can be for the rest of my life.

There are a lot more, and people may have a million good and valid reasons (according to them) to get married.  But is this how God wants it to be? 

God created marriage and this is in fact recorded in the bible in Genesis chapter 2.  We all know that at each time God created the things in the heavens, the earth and the seas, God said it was GOOD!  When He created the first man and saw that there was something missing, He said "it is NOT GOOD"....  It is Not Good for man to be alone so he created a suitable partner for him.  Notice that God said "a suitable partner" not just a partner.  This means someone who would be a compliment to the other.  Not someone who is to be randomly picked out from the crowd.  Not just someone who is physically attractive or a millionaire or intelligent.  But someone who is suitable for you.

I believe that God has already ordained partners for you and He has already impressed that in your hearts.  What God then impresses in you turns into your desire.  A desire for marriage, a desire to claim that promise of having that suitable partner. 

Pray for God's will.  Let God direct you to the man or the woman of your life.  And while in the wait, let God prepare your heart, your character and your budget.  :)

HOW TO CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS

This is a very good reminder for all of us.



HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS

This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, especially your "boss" . The rules of practicing "ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya" :

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.

#3 Ang taong galit, ' bingi. ' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don ' t try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.

#4 Ang taong galit, ' abnoy. ' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewels, because you need them for you to mature. Hangga ' t andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it ' s for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You ' ll know na mature ka na pag dumating ' yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

Mayonnaise Jar

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two bottles of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your
children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter likeyour job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else-the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal."

"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that No matter how full your life may seem, there's Always room for a couple of beers with a friend."

betrayed

Part of the fantasy of every betrayed person is that one day, the person who hurt you will come back and answer all your questions, and apologize  for hurting you.

But the thing is,
They won't.

They'll die a liar and will feel good about themselves. That's how selfish they are. They can't give you closure.

You get angry with them, then you get over them. Bless them in your mind & have  peace with yourself. When or if that person comes back, you can say "Hi" & "Goodbye" in the same sentence. --Oprah

...women's mushiness ;p

Women will always be mushy even if they come out strong. 

They will still fall for the old bouquet even if they're allergic to pollen. 

They'll still go gaga over a huggable bear, even if they have to wrap it in plastic & keep them in the closet. 

And they would still read a love letter or a text message over & over again, even if they've already memorized each line.

worst punishment

The worst punishment 

you could get 

from doing something wrong 

is seeing your loved ones 

suffering from the punishment 

that was meant to be 

yours.

*of girlfriends & heartbreaks*

i wish none of my girls will ever feel the pain of being cheated on by the one they love for someone a lot less deserving... 

and if they do, 
if it happens, 
i hope they don't forget to breathe 
and 
run to their girlfriends for some *warm hugs* and *coffee cups* ... 
i hope they don't get mad 
or jealous 
or depressed 
or weak, 
instead, i hope... 
on top of everything else, 
they'll learn to think deeply and realize that they have a bright light to shine.

You have to love someone who will
...grow with you,
...change with you,
...laugh with you,
...and cry with you.

A person who fills in where you lack, a person whom you can fill in for when they are lacking.

But what about the perfect person you ask? They do not exist.

There are no perfect people,
only people who are perfect for each other.

You deserve to be happy not in the arms of someone who keeps you waiting, but in the arms of someone who will take you now, love you forever, and leave you never.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coat with the intent of throwing it at someone else...

yet...

you are the one who gets burned.

it's better to look ahead
and prepare

than to look back and despair.
