What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

You Are Influential and Skilled   DOREEN MARIñO MARQUEZ

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. 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 wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. 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 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 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 are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. 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. People see you as a complete enigma, and only you truly understand who you are. You spend most of your time introspecting and seeking truth. You're a very interesting person... but not many people know you enough to realize it. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience. You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along. But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it's hard to get you to budge.   http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/

I walk with You Dear Lord....( True Story of Attempted Suicide and Faith)

Gusto kong ibahagi sa inyo ang isang awitin, na kung saan ay minsan ng nakapagbigay sa akin, ng lakas ng loob.  Hindi ko alam kung ano ang himig nito. Ito ay sariling composition ng isa kong kababayan, na minsan na rin akong ginawan ng sariling kanta.  Noong panahon na dumadaan ako sa isang pagsubok ( last year ), minsan ko itong nadaanan at nabasa.  Natagpuan ko ito sa isang FB group, kung saan 'andun din ang kanta na gawa nya sa akin.  Habang binabasa ko ito, unti-unti parang nararamdaman ko ang kakaibang hatid na dulot nito.  Hanggang namalayan ko na lang, kinakanta ko na pala ito, gamit ang imbento ko rin na tunog.  
At muli, nabuhayan na naman ako ng loob. Muli na naman lumakas ang aking faith upang patuloy lumaban.

At muling magbigay liwanag sa ating magulong isipan.  Aaminin ko, umpisa nagkaisip ako, ilang beses ko na din tinanong si God ng ganito:

"Lord, hindi ka ba naaawa sa akin?"  

"Buong buhay ko ba  Lord, lagi mo na lang ba akong bibigyan ng mga matitinding pagsubok?"
"Maawa ka naman sa akin, Hayaan mo naman akong magkaroon ng normal na buhay"

Hindi na mabilang sa aking mga daliri, ang napakaraming pagsubok na aking pinagdaanan.  At sa pinagdadaanan hanggan sa kasalukuyan.  Umabot pa ito sa halos apat na beses, na tinangka ko na tapusin ang buhay ko!  Saksi ang mga puno, ibon at ang nakakabinging katahimikan ng bukid.  10years old pa lang ako noon.  Ang loob ng banyo, at blade na aking hawak, noong nasa Mindanao pa ako. Noong nasa Maynila ako, sinubukan ko ang kusang magpasagasa.  Ang panghuli, noong halos nawalan na ako ng pag-asa sa lahat ng bagay..  Ngunit, lahat ng iyon, hindi ko naisakatuparan.  Hindi makailang beses ko na ginawa, ngunit 'di rin ilang beses na ako ay iniligtas, at muling natatauhan.  Bago ko pa man maisakatuparan,  lahat ng binalak ko, Lagi na lang andian sya para ako ay tapikin at paalalahanan; na malaking pagkakasala ang gagawin ko at ginagawa ko sa aking sarili.  Ito ay nangyayari tuwing ninanais ko na tapusin na lahat ng paghihirap ko noon. 

Isang tahimik, umiiyak ng tahimik sa isang sulok.  Ang takbuhan walang iba, kundi ang simbahan. Parang sira ulo na kinakausap ko sya  Napakahirap, kapag alam mo na wala kang karamay,  Napakahirap kapag sinasarili mo lahat,  Napakahirap kapag nakaranas ka ng pang- aabuso,  Napakahirap ang paratangan ka ng hindi totoo; at dinudurog ang buo mong pagkatao, ng mga taong kadugo mo.  Napakahirap na sila mismo, ang sumira ng mga pangarap mo, at kinabukasan mo. Salamat, meron ako isang tagapagligtas na lagi andian. Kapag ako'y nasa kalagayang alam nya kailangang-kailangan ko sya.  Kusang dumadating, sa oras na alam nya nanghihina na ako at nawawalan na ng direksyon.  Walang nakakaalam kahit sino, bukod sa akin.  Ayaw ko na mapagbintangan ako na nasisiraan ng ulo, o gumagawa lang ng kwento.   Sa panaginip, lagi niya akong dinadalaw, kapag alam niyang meron akong pinagdadaanan.  Na hanggan ngayon, palaisipan pa din sa akin.  Minsan ko na siyang nakita sa isang share dito sa facebook.  Sobra akong nagulat! Mismo sa panaginip ko at  sa oras ng ginagawa ko, ang pagtangkang tapusin ko ang buhay ko.  Ayaw ko mag-isip, at lalong ayaw ko sadyang isipin.  Ang importante, lagi sya andian, para remind ako, at lagi nya ako inililigtas.

Sa kabila ng lahat ng iyon, patuloy akong kumakapit sa kanya at kay God! Lahat ng guidance ay hinihingi ko sa kanila,  Bukod sa pamilya ko, siya ang aking sandalan.  Unti-unti kong na realized, lahat pala ay meron dahilan.  Ako lamang ay kanyang inihahanda, para sa mas mabigat na responsibilidad na aking kakaharapin.  Five years ago, unti-unting nagbago ang lahat.  Ang mga madidilim na kahapon, ay unti-unting napapalitan ng liwanag.  Liwanag na puno pa rin ng pagsubok, ngunit masasabi ko, sa KANilA at sa aking sarili, " Okey lang iyan, kaya ko!  At kakayanin ko pa, alang-alang sa mga mahal ko sa buhay; sa mga taong kahit papaano ay aking natutulungan.  Gamit ang aking kasipagan, pagtitiyaga at pagtitiis.  Marahil, ito ang misyon ko!  Na lagi nila pinapa-alala, sa tuwing ako ay sumusuko na. 

 "Ikaw ay nandito, nabubuhay, hindi para sa sarili mo; kundi para sa mga taong mahal mo at mga maari mo matutulungan."  "Ikaw ay magsisilbing lakas at inspirasyon, sa mga taong nakapaligid sa iyo." Upang magkaroon, ng pananampalataya sa Dios; at sa kanyang sariling kakayahan, tungo sa ikabubuti ng sanlibutan!"

title- "i walk with You Dear Lord"

re-written - August 10, 2011

melody/lyrics- lolo bomboy

lyrics:

i walk with You dear Lord
cause I am lonely
i walk with You so you could be near me
i walk with You so that i could tell You
all my life i will need to walk with You

when the road ahead is dark and dim
there's no doubt that You will love me still
i clasp my hands as i kneel in prayer
all my life i will always need to have You near...

Please walk with me whenever i am lonely
i am sure that you'll drive all of my fears away
i'll pray to You so You will never leave me
it's all the same be it night or be it day

i will hope and so will i pray
that You and i will always be
just as close as we can ever be
no matter what i meet along the way

if trouble should come someday to me
i can be sure that You will stay
and stand by me Oh Lord in every way
i am sure i can always count on You to help me

i sing this song so i won't be lonely
i sing this song Oh Lord just for You only
i sing this song to show You my Lord so dear,
with You there's nothing at all i should ever fear
with You there's nothing at all I should ever fear

"God is my only true bestfriend, I found peace and better understanding.  Acceptance for all the pains and sorrows,  for all the failures I had before.......and in the future. "God is great all the time"!

Secrets of Happy Couples
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Why do some couples stay happy together for a lifetime, while others are in conflict almost from the beginning?

Part of the answer is compatibility - making the initial choice of a partner with whom you share common values. Equally much, however, depends upon the choices each partner chooses to make during the relationship. Here are seven choices made by happy couples:

1. Trust: Suspicion and jealousy are the death knell of any relationship. If the other is going to cheat or otherwise dishonor the relationship, suspicion and jealousy will not prevent it, and such a relationship is fatally flawed in any case. Unwarranted suspicion and jealousy create misery in a surprising number of relationships. If you want to live happily, trust your partner completely. If they dishonor your trust, deal with the situation then. In the meanwhile, you will have been happy.

2. Open Communication: Tell the truth, tell the whole truth. If you didn't want to share your whole life with your partner, why are you together? If you make a mistake, admit it. If you have doubts, talk about them. Secrets and lies kill a relationship. With truth and openness anything is possible. Even if something is unforgivable, it is better to deal with it quickly.

3. Honoring the other's point-of-view: People disagree, couples disagree. Understanding that the two partners in a couple remain individuals is crucial to a happy relationship. Why would you expect that you and your partner should agree on everything? Honor that one of you is a Republican and the other a Democrat. Honor that one of you is a vegetarian and the other loves a great steak.

4. Self-Confidence: Co-dependence is another frequent cause of failed relationships. Happy couples know that they don't need each other. Each partner is a completely whole and valid individual who has entered into a voluntary partnership. Neither "owns" the other, nor "can't live without" the other. Each has their own interests and friends, as well as having mutual interests and friends.

5. Generosity: Greed and selfishness kill relationships. True love is generous in spirit. Mostly, generosity is not about material things, although that is also important. To have a happy relationship, be generous of your time, your love, and your attention.

6. Forgiveness: Resentments and thoughts of revenge and vengeance have no place in a happy relationship. Happy couples forgive each other completely for everything the other has ever done or failed to do - no exceptions.

7. Gratitude: Happy couples are continuously grateful for each other. Every day there are a myriad of reasons to be grateful for your partner. Find those reasons each day, and thank your partner every day.Posted byJonathan Lockwood Huie

A letter for my Beloved Valentine

"The story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity."

Dear Dadi,

Ever since you walked into my life at unexpected time, I have been smiling. There hasn't been a day when I have gone to sleep with a frown on my face, and it's all because of you., I am glad that you came into my life.

After a failed relationship of mine I decided not to go into another relationship and I prefer to be single forever.  Before, I have always wanted the love of my life to be understanding, loving, caring, faithful and most of all someone who would accept me for who I am. Now I have found the person I was looking for.

But, my heart told me that my Prince Charming was there…. I didn’t expect the simple message in my Friendster inbox “Kamusta ka Batch, ang ganda mo now ah” will go go along way. I am not more so fun in Cyber world the time we met and I admit I don’t knew how and what is about chatting or messenger.  I admit that I never entertained  crazy things about guys kaya isang tanong isang sagot lang lagi our exchanging messages in email and Friendster.  We became cyber friends, I remember we called each other “oi”.  We both felt that we had known each other for so long, kaya minsan nagtataka tayo na bakit ganun na lang kagaan at sobrang at home tayo sa isat isa everytime we talked(when in fact we had last seen each other during our RIBSAT days and we are classmate in 1st year high school at RNHS and at the same time we both quited). After 16years our paths was crossed and the story of unconditional love begin.

We discovered that we had same thoughts same dreams and goal in life we shared our sorrows and pain from the past, our failed relationship in the past, You became my shoulder to cry on.  You courted me but I ignored you because there is no spark on me and the feeling is you are only a close cyber friend  to me.  And, I always treated it as a joke (sorry to say it :) ) to the fact that am in a trouble relationship that time and I want to settle everything just to live into a normal life being single together with my kid.

I didn’t’ knew that thru your friend Rey Mangaring (and now my bff also) pinakaliskisan mo ako :), so funny yet am amazed to knew it thereafter.  You showed your eagerness to win my heart, til you did the big rule in a roller coaster relationship I had then and finally out and free from a 5year “bangungot”  and am very much thankful because after that long years of full of lies and pains I was able to get out ( because I knew I wont deserved to someone who cheated me emotionally and financially).

But, I admit you took advantaged (amininnnn :) the chance and time I am nursing myself from the pain, hatred and my roller coaster mind,  you are sooo makulit :) . You hit a part of mine when  you courted my son :) and instantly you became closer than me, maybe it's because my son longing for a father love and he found it from you so funny how can I say “NO” if you win the heart of my son.  Do you remember the first time you call me mommy or mami? and the first time you said I love you? That time I read those words in the chatbox I felt so uneasy mixed emotions because I felt you are seriously saying it and sabi ko naku patay mukhang napasubo na ako ng di oras nito.  And, do you still remember me I said wag mo akong pilitin mag sabi ng I love You kasi para sa akin yong salitang iyon ay sinasabi ko lamang sa taong alam ko mahal na mahal ko at hinde basta basta salitang binibitawan, pero sobra kulit mo eh :) ero sabi ko nga ulit hintayin mo na kusa akong magsabi ng I love you, and by that time na masabi ko na sa iyo hinding hinde mo pagsisisihan dahil sulit na sulit ka :) kapag dumating yong time na yon.  Do you still remember na I was afraid from you? And I remember I told Rey na nakakatakot naman yong taong yon nakasalubong ang kilay sabi ko parang ang tapang tapang at parang nakakatakot tignan.  I admit na sa iyo lang ako nakaramdam ng takot but your bff told me sobra kang mabait then that was the start I used my short knowledge as psychologist and I used my inner human instinct together with the prayer Lord lead me to the right way I know this is wrong but I am offer it to YOU my wholelife and my journey towards my lovelife.  

And until, you decided to go home to meet us. The first time we met that is the time I decided also to go somewhere just to released all the stressed I had from my ex and you insist to go with me in Baguio together with my cousin you spent your first 3 days with us in Baguio and do you remember also you cried and I asked you why are you crying? And you just replied mahal na mahal kita at wag mo akong iiwan and I just smiled and wipe your tears and I said yes (pero nagulat ako sa sinagot ko mukhang napasubo na naman ako bahala na ulit  hehehe).  I salute you to overcome all the stupid things like sa pagbabanta sa buhay mo from my ex boyfriend. Remember this email you forwarded to me from my ex bf na uubusin nya ang lahat ng bala ng 9mm nya sayo? But, still di ka pa din nagpapigil.  Your 2 months vacation is so fearful for me then because I was afraid what my ex bf will do to you.  then you told me to call my parents to convinced them to come over here in manila to formally ask their blessing to our soon to be ongoing relationship   You did a guts to talk one on one to my parents (and mind you don mo ako napabilib so you earned 3 points na :) ).  I told myself “bahala na” come what may. How can I say NO if you already  win them all ( I still remember you blushed when my father said to settle first an annulment from your first marriage) kasi akala mo my father will reject you :).

We had so many troubles during your 2 months vacation from my ex and to your ex wife and I came to my decision then to quit coz I don’t want to get into another complicated relationship, to mine am not sure then if am inlove with you only the thing I had in my mind then is you win the heart of my loveones.  In a short of time sila pa ang nauna na ma inlove sa iyo :).  At  nakikita ko paano ka nila minahal, and I got too many sleepless nights. The time you went back to KSA, you became more loving and responsible person to us and I enjoyed the loved and care you always showed us and that is the time I remembered  I started to missing you, thinking and asking myself if “Mahal ko na ba sya?”.  Then, that was the start am teaching myself to love and appreciate all your efforts I decided to forget all my fears and hopping for good and I didn't have to think twice when we formally living in together.

The past years we had been together is a test for us how we are strong, we experienced ups in down emotionally and financially.  Financially we easily overcome it but when it comes to the trials to our relationship caused by other persons we both become paranoid and we had 3x almost giving up our relationship.  Thank you to our friends not lovers relationship, we learned to kill our both ego’s, we learned how to give and take relationship, we learned how to open up bad and good things inside in our heart, we learned how to communicate and thank you because you learned how to open up everything, and thank you because you learned the importance of relationship being a friend and not lovers / couple.  Thank you for always trying our best to save our relationship. 

I am not an ideal wife/partner to you but I really tried my very best to be an ideal one for you.  We both appreciate the value of having  “happy family” and that is the reason why we always overcome all the ups in down. And from the first time we met we do believed in destiny and soulmate and we do believed we are soulmate.  Our love deepen and going more stronger this time and someday all our dreams for our childrens will come true because we are trying our best to do all the best for them and for us as one family.  Marriage is just in a piece of paper, this time the important is we both happy and we always do the best for our family, the respect and love is always there. 

I am happy that even we had the right love in a wrong time I knew HE blessed us since all that I/we prayed was granted recently by HIM.

I knew that you were Mr. Perfect. I don't think that there is, or there could be, anyone better than you out there for me.

I love you with my whole heart. I have trust you. Sometime I even doubt myself, but I know I will never doubt you because you are my true love and soulmate. I know deep down inside that you will never break my heart or never let me down in anyway.

Thank you for everything. I pray to HIM everyday to bless us with everything we deserve. I will love you until the end of time and continue fighting for your greatest love and I continue holding on for all the love and joy you bring with me / us.

HAPPY VALENTINE and advance Happy Anniversary!

Love,
Mami
