JOY IN THE JOURNEY

JOY IN THE JOURNEY

If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on.

Far often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.

Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.

"What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors.

"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!" one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.

The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.

After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide assortment of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing visitors.

Then he said quietly and confidently, "Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!"

Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is what a goal is for - to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words, to set us to digging!

But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every relationship will endure. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every endeavor will be completed. Not every dream will be realized.

But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"

My Prayer for You

This morning when the Lord opened  a window to Heaven, He saw me, and He asked: "My child, what is your  greatest wish for today?" I responded: "Lord please, take care of the  person who is reading this message, their family and their special  friends. They deserve it and I love them very much" The love of God is  like the ocean, you can see it's beginning, but not its end. This  message works on the day you receiveit. Let us see if it is  true.  

ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS. Pass this on to your friends. Something good will happen to you at 11:11 in the evening; something that you have been
waiting to hear.

i love our world :-)

I can never do it


How does the circus trainer train an elephant? When the elephant was small they would tie it with a small rope about 5 feet long and attach the other end to a small stake, fixed to the ground. The elephant would try to move but is unable to do so because it is still small and does not have the strength. It will keep on trying and trying but on some stage it will no longer try. Years later, when the elephant is fully grown it will not try to escape because it thinks it's useless to try. He has failed many times before. You see, the elephant has the strength to move big logs and with just one slight movement it could free itself, yet it has been conditioned not to try.


Success Principle:

The elephant has been conditioned not to try anymore. It sees failure as a result of past experience. The future is not equal to the past. You may have failed many times before, but today is a new day and everything is possible if you just have the courage to try once more. Learn from the past and move into the future with confidence. The past is gone and you have already paid for the consequences. You do not have to pay for it again. Set new plans and eliminate fear from your thoughts and just move on!

LoVe NoteS by joe d'Mango

 


1.Love doesn't give us the promise of forever, but having faith on it makes us believe that there is.

2.Love is not a one-shot deal that you have to get right at first. You will always make mistakes and find your ideal partner. Love is also a process of finding your way, finding the right one.

3.The greatest mistake we'll make in a relationship is when we look at somebody else other than our partner to satisfy our emotional and physical needs. The second mistake is when we consciously allow ourselves to be the object of these emotional and physical desires.

4.We can never be certain of our relationships because not all of them are built to last our lifetime. We have to constantly nurture it so it can grow and we can grow old with it.

5.In the midst of despair, pain, and sorrow, someone comes in our life and gives us strength to believe in life again. The love they give us gives us a blind faith that helps us believe in ourselves again, that we can make our dreams come true.

6.Love can be the best thing that will ever happen to you. More often than not, your lover is also your best friend, one who will stand by you through thick and thin.

7.Most ordinary relationships begin and most of them continue as forms of mutual exploitation, a mental or physical barter, to be terminated when one or both parties run out of goods. The truth is you will not run out of goods if you believe you won't.

8.People cannot change who you really are. You just have to tell them and be honest about the real person behind you. You cannot hide in your cloak of deception forever. You deserve to be happy just by being yourself.

9.A relationship is a two way street. It's never all your fault or the other person's. You go into the relationship together and work through it all together. And remember, the best relationship is one w/c your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

10.When we begin to put so much weight on what others feel and think about our relationships, we become distracted and lose our own perception of our partners.

11.If you choose to fight for love, then you should be prepared to face the consequences and risk associated with it. But if you choose to follow tradition over the dictate of your heart then you also have to be prepared to lose someone you love.

12.Let us always remember that, in the end it is not how much love we have received that would count, but how much love we have given and how much more we are willing to give even without the promise of earning it back.

13.We constantly have to make an extra effort to make others feel that they are important to us and the small things they do are appreciated. The greatness of a relationship is built on the foundation of small acts of kindness, love and compassion.

14.Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, they are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a purpose and meaning behind all events, and this purpose and meaning develops you as a person and as a lover.

Astig na Resume

Funny!!! This was a resume sent to a call center :-)

I. Personal Background

1. Name: Marjorie Barboza Lopez
- Everybody calls me Gigi though. I suits me better
than Marjorie or Marj. I think a Gigi is someone who
is fun, outgoing, smart, everybody's pal.Someone who
can think fast on her feet and lands on them too!
Most of all, a Gigi is someone who gets hired to do
the job.

2. Birthday: February 25,1975
- Undoubtedly, a very memorable day for my mother
Maria. Most probably not so memorable for my father
since he abandoned us shortly afer (but that's another
story)
- Which means that my zodiac sign is Pisces and that I
was born in the year of the Rabbit

3. Sibling: Marcial Laurence Barboza Lopez
- I call him Mat though, which is short for Matutina.
Apparently, his friends found his squeaky voice was
just like Matutina's of Marsha and John. He does not
sound like Matutina now but the name stuck.
- We used to fight a lot when we were kids but we get
along like a house on fire now. He's married with two
kids.

II. Educatonal Background

1. Primary Level: Nalsian Elementary school
- Incidentally, the same school where my mom taught
for 30 years. She was even my sixth-grade teacher. The
fact that I graduated valedictorian was due to my
superiior intellect and not because she was my
adviser. Honest.

2. Secondary Level: PSU Laboratory High School
- Located in the town of Bayambang, it is about 4
kilometers away from our home. There were only 20 boys
and 20 girls in a class and each year was composed of
one section so we were pretty small compared to the
national high school, which also meant that everybody
knew everybody. Funny thing was, my brother and I
acted like we did not even know each other. I told you
we did not get along pretty well in high school
- Most memorable experience was when all 20 girls in
our class went to a classmate's house to watch a
pornographic movie while her parents were away.

3. Tertiary Level: U.P. Diliman and AMA Computer
College-Dagupan

3.1. Big City
- I went to U.P. Diliman where I took up B.S.
Statistics. To this day, I cannot explainwhat made me
chose Statistics as my major. Mathematics and I mix as
well as oil and water. Eventually, I discovered SM
malls and got interested in attending them more than
my classes.
Ending: an unfinished education and a whole lot of
regrets.(Kids if you are reading, don't do this at
home)

3.2. Small City
- After my disastrous stint in the big city, I hanged
out at home for 2 years --- until mom put her foot
down: finish your education or else! I wanted to go
back to Manila but mom promptly vetoed the idea due to
my past "record" in the big city. I went to Dagupan,
where the biggest mall (at that time) could be easily
fitted inside Megamall Building A (and still have
enough room to play
football) and the movies were like weeks too late or
never get shown at all. I excelled in my studies
mainly because competition was scarce ( and I mean
SCARCE), there were not that much distractions and my
mother watched me like a hawk. I finally got my degree
in Computer Science.

III. The Aftermath
- I got an invitation to apply for a teaching job at
AMA shortly after. I applied and got it. It only took
me one trimester to know that teaching is not for me.
My schedule was a mess. I had a class at 7 in the
morning and the next one would be at 5 in the
afternoon. I preferred continuous action. Of course,
my patience and listening ability really improved,
what with students who could not grasp elementary
concepts and those who needed to be heard more than to
be lectured. I quit and became a professional couch
potato. My mother was not exactly ecstatic about my
decisions but she was not exactly unhappy either
because she gained a live-in
housekeeper/cook/nanny/laundrywoman in me. Heck, I
even did the windows. I was like a well-trained
housewife minus the philandering husband and kids.

IV. The Present
- I can not believe it! I've got acne all over my
face. Why now when all throughout my teenage years,
not one zit popped out? I have tried every
over-the-counter medications but nothing seems to
help. I have come to the conclusion that this would
require professional treatment. VIcky Belo or Pie
Calayan comes to mind. Unfortunately, this would mean
money which I don't have right now. My solution? Come
again to the big city and get a job. Besides, I've
come to realize that I am not fully utilizing my full
potential by just staying at home and playing
housekeeper. I mean I am smart and intelligent and f
unny and talented and honest and hardworking and
trustwothy and (ok ok you get the point) I need to go
out on dates,(paging eligible men who prefer
personality and humor to aesthetics) to rent my own
place and be independent and to go to the malls and
actually buy something. In other words, I need to
experience life! But first things first, I need a job
to jumpstart my plans.

V. The Future
- Driving the latest RAV 4 (my dream car), my mom and
I are on our way home after shopping and dining-out.
My acne is gone and my mom looks younger than her
years. Tomorrow, I have a date with the man of my
dreams. My career is flourishing and luck is on my
side - I have just won the Lotto jackpot!!!

VI. The Verdict
- I know that this is not the usual resume you receive
and hopefully read. Fact is, I have tried writing a
typical resume but I always find the finished product
bland and uninteresting and it does not convey the
real me. I hope you give this resume a fair chance.
