ME, My Life and my love...

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence.... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear.

someone will call you by phone or will speak to you about something that you were waiting to hear. Do not break!

There comes a point in your life when you realise:

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
Give these flowers to everyone you don't want to lose in 2009 including me, if that's what is in your heart.
Try to collect 12; it's not easy!

10 Most Extreme Wedding Proposals
(which one caught your fancy?)

Published on 6/11/2009 under Stories - by Gracie Murano - 153,293 views

The man who proposed at Gravity Zero

Graciela Asturias, a 27-year-old architect from Manhattan, got a very unique birthday present when her now fiancé proposed to her a thousand feet above the ground while floating in an airplane cabin.

To celebrate Asturias' birthday, the couple boarded a specially designed Boeing 727 aircraft that creates the experience of microgravity during four-five minute plunges as it flies up and down between 24,000 and 35,000 feet, allowing the passengers to experience a near zero gravity effect. While Alex and Graciela were floating in the cabin, Alex popped the question. Alex was a bit worried that while in zero G, the ring might float away but luckily everything worked out. Graciela not only received a great birthday present but they experienced an amazing proposal, a love so strong, unbound by gravity itself.

The couple plan on spending their ten year anniversary in orbit. (Link)

The man who proposed virtually at Halo video game

In November 3, 2007 Moviesign (his username) made a Forge map in Halo® 3, and set up what his girlfriend of over two years (Furtive Penguin) thought was going to be a two-on-two match with his friends. After they started the game, Moviesign led Furtive Penguin to a spot where he claimed he'd left an energy sword.

Instead there was a nice top-down view where he had spelled out a proposal using weapons. He then asked her to be his teammate for life.
Furtive Penguin and Moviesign recently moved from Indianapolis to Chicago where she (Penguin) is a copyeditor and he (Moviesign) is a graphic designer. They haven't set a wedding date yet. As Furtive Penguin said, “We're waiting to see what the release date is for the next Halo game. We don't want any conflicts.” (Link)

The man who got on fire before kneeling down and proposing

Todd has some interesting friends. One in particular is well-known stunt man Eric Barkley who's done many human-torch fire jumps. Todd devised a plan to not only entertain family and friends at their annual 4th of July family reunion but to also propose to his girlfriend Malissa.

With Eric's help, Todd set up a stunt to launch himself off a platform above a swimming pool while being completely engulfed in flames. Eric dressed him in the appropriate fire-retardant attire, with flaming cape and all. Eric fashioned a torch out of an aluminum pole and with Todd ready to jump from the platform over the pool, Eric lit Todd's cape on fire and seconds later he became complete engulfed in gasoline induced flames. Todd ran off the platform in a breath-taking display of dangerous excitement. The burning man soared through the air against the night sky and landed in the pool, extinguishing himself from the fiery blaze.

Todd surfaced and pulled off his hood, walked over to Malissa and got down on one knee. "Malissa, you make me hot. I want to get the point across that I'm on fire for you", said Todd. Malissa was laughing from the excitement and insanity of the whole display until Todd pulled out the ring and popped the question.

"Will you marry me, Malissa?" Todd placed the ring on her finger. "Yes!" she exclaimed. (Link)

The man who proposed at 20,000 feet just before skydiving

When it comes to marriage, men traditionally have a big responsibility -- the proposal -- and they've got to make it memorable. And that's exactly what Mateo Martinez did. Martinez popped the question at 20,000 feet just as he and his girlfriend were about to sky dive.

"There is no better way to get your heart rate up than jumping out of a plane and proposing to your girlfriend," Martinez said. (Link)

The man who raised money on the internet to buy TV ad space to propose

Rand had been dating Geraldine for about 5 years and the time had come for Rand to pop the question. Rand wanted to propose in a genuine, unique, and completely romantic way, equal to the love he felt for Geraldine. Being a major NFL fan, Rand began to play with the idea of proposing via a Super Bowl commercial. Obviously the task would be monumental but luckily Rand works within an industry that may make the idea work. Rand works within search marketing, specializing in search optimization, online viral marketing, and things of this nature. Rand started on his idea in late August of 2006. He put together a website and started working his magic. Rand started to draw a lot of attention online. On his website he posted his game plan, the hurdles that lie ahead, and the solution he needed to execute the Super Bowl commercial proposal.

Rand found that in order to purchase ad space during the 2007 Super Bowl, he would have to raise approximately $2.5 million dollars. He put up a good chunk of his own cash and waited for the donations to pour in. By February 1st, just 3 days prior to the Super Bowl, Rand had only collected $85K. The wedding invitations would be covered but unfortunately this was not nearly enough for the Super Bowl ad space. His proposal publicly gained the attention of Entertainment Tonight, MSNBC, Good Morning America, and Fox News just to name a few. Despite all of this, CBS was unwilling to part with the valuable ad time for a mere $85K. Rand did the next best thing and purchased local ad time during Geraldine's favorite television show Veronica Mars. On February 6th at 9:23 PM, as Geraldine was watching the show, Rand's ad came on the screen, asking Geraldine to marry him. She said yes! Her response was genuine, sweet, and very romantic.
Rand donated the remaining money raised to the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.

The man who hacked his Girlfriend's computer game to pop the question

A US man has been credited with the ultimate nerd wedding proposal after hacking into his girlfriend's favorite video game. Bernie Peng, 26, of New Jersey, reprogrammed Bejeweled so a ring and a proposal popped up when Tammy Li, 27, reached a certain score.

Mr Peng, who works as a programmer of financial software, spent about a month reprogramming the game. He presented the game to a surprised Li, who played until she hit the score that triggered a digital pink sapphire ring to drop down with Peng's proposal.

According to Li, he set a pretty low score; she is now sporting an identical pink sapphire engagement ring. The story was picked up by video gaming sites and spread across the internet until the manufacturer eventually heard about it. Instead of being angry that Peng had hacked into their game, company officials were so impressed they offered to pay for part of the wedding. (Link 1 | Link 2)

The man who popped the question with umbrellas

Sean Palmgren won a contest run by GroomGrove.com and Platinum Guild International for his most unique proposal to his girlfriend Betsy. He caught hold of friends and family and got them to carry umbrellas in a park. What he had done was to paint a letter on each umbrella. He then convinced his soon to be fiancé to take a walk in the park. Upon the finish of the three mile walk around the lake they proceeded to walk towards a line of people all holding an umbrella right above their heads.

Besty was very intrigued on what was going on and wanted to take a closer look. About 100 feet away, someone counts 1-2-3 and everyone flips their umbrella over to spell out the infamous “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” Betsey starts looking around saying, “Oh my gosh, someone is getting engaged!”

When she saw him on his knee she knew the proposal was for her and said Yes. (Link)

A camera man who asked Tom Cruise to pop the question

In 2004, Tom Cruise appeared on Portuguese television to ask a woman to marry her boyfriend. Cruise asked the factory worker, named only as Sonia, to marry cameraman Joao Martins. He'd filmed the actor at the Spanish premiere of The Last Samurai. In a clip shown on state channel RTP, Cruise said: "Sonia, you have to marry Joao. Please marry Joao. He is crying behind the camera." His girlfriend accepted the proposal. Martins, who works for RTP, was on the phone to his girlfriend when the marriage proposal was aired.

Cruise also joked in the footage they should name their children after him. (Link)

The man who hired a £10,000 theatre company to play his proposal

A lovestruck tycoon hired an entire theatre company so he could star in a play and give his girlfriend a proposal she'd never forget.

Gennady Zaleskiy, 38, paid £10,000 to have the play The Romantics staged in Zaporozhie, Ukraine, with him as the leading man. He then arranged for his theatre-fan girlfriend to have a seat at the show on a girls' night out with friends. He appeared on stage in a mask where he was supposed to declare his love for his leading lady. Instead, he turned to face his girlfriend in the audience and said: "No, the woman I love is called Victoria and she is in the sixth row. Will you marry me Victoria?"

The bride? She said "Yes!" (Link)

The man who created an art exhibition to pop the question

Over a four day period George spent a total of about 24 hours constructing what would soon become his engagement proposal to his girlfriend Sara.

Wishing to create a proposal and art piece all in one that would be elaborate and meaningful George, an industrial designer, sat down at his computer and designed the piece in a 3d program, then laser cut foam core to create the different pieces that would form the words, “Will You Marry Me.” Putting in even more thought, he named the art piece “My Early Muir Owl” which is an anagram of “Will you marry me.” He then brought in an actor who he dubbed “Serge Gandaora” who played the part of the artist for the night. (”Serge Gandaora” is an anagram of “George and Sara”)

When “Serge” asked Sara to view the art installation through a carefully placed frame, George dropped down to one knee beside her and as the words took shape before her eyes she came away with a clear yes and a ring on her finger.

This is absolutely amazing - and makes perfect sense!!

A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells.. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Of Your Friends and Everyone You Love!

Please keep this candle alive !

No.10 - "You look beautiful."

It’s a no-brainer that women love to be complimented on the way they look -- especially because of the amount of time, effort and money they put into making themselves look so good. You’d be surprised how many guys fail to notice or even say a word. A simple compliment about how great she looks is the perfect way to get things going on a good note. Give her the sign that she looks fantastic the moment she walks in the door.

No.9 - "Your hair looks great."

Men don’t realize how much it costs for a woman to get her hair done. It doesn’t matter if it’s cutting it, coloring it or even blow-drying it, hair is the first thing women attend to when getting ready for a date. She has spent hours on getting her hair to look like she hasn’t spent hours on it, so sign off a quick compliment about how great her hair looks.

No.8 - "You have an amazing smile."

Actually getting her to smile is going to be your first goal -- try saying something witty at least once. Once she flashes the pearly whites, let her know how amazing her smile is with this simple sign. Women take as much pride in their teeth these days as they do their hair and nails. A simple compliment about her smile will get her to smile more, even when you crack your next dumb joke.

No.7 - "Do you work out?"

Women struggle with their body image. Even if they look fantastic and treat their body like a well-oiled machine, women still think their physiques need improvement in certain areas. Let her know her body looks fantastic with this hand gesture. If she says yes, apologize for asking such an obvious question. If she says no, tell her she has a body most women would die for. It’s a body you’d die for, but in a different way (don’t sign that).

No.6 - "I like the way your mind works."
A woman loves compliments about her mind almost as much as compliments about her appearance -- they show a guy is paying attention to more than just her curves. Drop in a simple sign about liking the way her mind works during a conversation and she will know that you are not only paying attention to what she has to say, but really letting it sink into that normally thick male skull.

No.5 - "You're definitely the hottest of your group."

This is a tough compliment to pull of in any language -- American sign language or plain old English -- but drop it at the right time and a woman will turn as red as her glass of Merlot. Women love their friends, but there is always a quest to be the best-looking one in the group -- it usually goes unspoken. Wait for the moment she is discussing her little clan or retelling a tale about one of their trips out on the town to drop this sign that she is definitely the best-looking woman in the group of lovely ladies.

No.4 - "You crack me up."

Every woman thinks she is hysterical. She believes she’s the funniest one among her friends -- it’s like being the thinnest contestant on The Biggest Loser. Some woman are actually funny and if your woman is quick with quip or the queen of one-liners, give her this sign to tell her she is pretty damn funny. Make sure you’re actually laughing while throwing out the sign -- it really sells it.

No.3 - "I'm having a great time."
Women want to know that the men they’re with are having a good time. They don’t want to have to come right out and ask (unlike men, who ask every 10 minutes -- back off!). Sign to her during a lull in the conversation that you are having a great time and follow it up with a smile or innocent little touch on the hand or arm. It will ease the situation and she will relax.

No.2 - "That is a great outfit."
The outfit she is wearing was the 800th clothing option for the evening. She put it on and took it off no less than 20 times. Sign that you love her outfit and it shows you are not only paying attention to the way she gets dressed for these meetings, but that her choice was a wise one (even though many of the 800 would have been fine). Make sure to go as far as to pick out an exact piece of clothing to highlight. The shoes are always a smart choice.

No.1 - "I could talk to you all night long."
This is obviously a lie. No guy wants to talk all night long. Hell, no woman wants to talk all night long, but it’s an incredibly nice thing to say. Give her this sign that you would love talking to her all night and she might throw you a sign that says: “Screw talking, let’s get to some action.” It’s not a hand signal but you will know when it happens.

Dear Mommy and Papa,

I am in Heaven now, sitting on God's lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl.

I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place.

I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping.

Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much.

One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in.

I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, " Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me."

Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore.Then the monster started ripping my arm off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. Itdidn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me.

I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all.

I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you.

I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead.I felt myself rising.

I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.

The angel took me to God and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father. Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me.

He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster.

I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arm and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die.

Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster.

Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.

Love,

Your Baby Girl

If you are a Bird: A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Slug : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-together's. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Cockroach : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person.. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight.. An outdoor person, you disl ike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

If you are a Parasite : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Skunk : You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Bullfrog : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware; it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a Snake : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are a Ape : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the centre of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are!!

10 KIDDIE SNACKS WE CAN’T FORGET

(

Haw Flakes
What it is: Those yummy tart discs of a Chinese fruit called hawthorn. It comes in rolls of seventeen discs.
Why we loved it: We used to play first communion with them with everyone taking turns being the “priest” and receiver of the haw flakes. And it was impossible to just have one.

Bazooka Joe
What it is: Pink bubble gum that comes in waxed paper with a complimentary comic strip about Bazooka Joe, a kid who wears a baseball cap and, for reasons unknown, a black eye patch. The ridges on the gum made it look like a pink bar of laundry soap.
Why we loved it: We collected those comic strips—and hoped that each chew was a different story about “Bazooka Joe and His Gang.” If it wasn’t, we’d trade strips with friends.

Tarzan
What it is: The tougher-than-usual bubblegum wrapped in differently-colored wrappers (not according to flavor at all).
Why we loved it: Although it was tough to chew—your jaw would, more often than not, end up aching—the gum tasted really sweet and the flavor lasted a lot longer. It also produced stronger bubbles (less mess in your hair, which, admit it, happened to you at least once if you’re a girl).

White Rabbit
What it is: Creamy, white, chewy candy that’s wrapped in what looks like waxed paper (it’s really an edible thin strip of “paper” made from sticky rice).
Why we loved it: It was always a thrill to be able to eat the “paper” along with the candy. The wrapper didn’t really taste like anything, but eating it made us feel like rebels so we ate it anyway

Iced Gems
What it is: Bite-sized biscuits with differently colored icing on top. Each piece looked like a cute, mini masterpiece.
Why we loved it: It’s one of those classic baon foods that you and your friends would share. Some people liked eating the biscuit first and saving the icing for later (some ate it by color, too!). What was your Iced Gem eating style?

Peter’s Butter Ball
What it is: Buttery balls of sweet caramel goodness. It comes individually wrapped for easy popping right into your mouth.
Why we loved it: For the price, you got good quality candy that tasted almost like butterscotch. It was the next best thing to getting those decadent squares of pure, soft caramel.

Orange Swits
What it is: Orange jelly candies covered in sugar. They’re quite orange and very “swit,” indeed.
Why we loved it: It was probably the closest thing we had to gummy bears. It comes in packs of four so there’s just enough for you—and your friends, if you’re feeling generous.

Tootsie Roll
What it is: A log of chocolate candy that’s rolled in waxed paper.
Why we loved it: All together now, “Let me see that Tootsie Roll!” We could spend all day just licking that Tootsie Roll, occasionally stopping to have lunch or dinner. But we always, always came back to the Tootsie Roll.

PeeWee
What it is: Crunchy barbecue-flavored chips that we’d snack on until the powdered flavoring finally accumulated on our fingertips.
Why we loved it: The best part about eating chips like this? The moment when you tilt your head back and chuck all the small bits left over into your happy mouth. Mmm!

Horlicks
What it is: Small, tablet-like candies made from malt and chocolate that most likely inspired the creation of Ovalteenies.
Why we loved it: You know how—when no one was looking—you used to like eating Milo chocolate powder straight from the tin? That’s what eating Horlicks was like.

The Wooden Bowl I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, A year from now. A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year - old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and Failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. 'We must do something about father,' said the son. 'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.' So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.

Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?' Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, Neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: A rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as making a 'life..' I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands.You nee d to be able to throw   something   back   sometimes. I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, Your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

This is to all of you who Mean something to me, I pray for your happiness.
May God richly bless you!

21. Does not show sympathy to the problems you have at hand because he does not want to destroy his day

28. Does not tell you his problems about you but, instead, tells your GOOD FRIENDS everything to the most minute detail

So, if your boyfriends have all 30, I wish you 101% ENJOYMENT. Good luck! :P

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.☺

Having to save and pay your bills at the same time given such a tight budget may initially cramp your beauty routine. But a quick inventory of your supplies at home will give you the essentials for homemade beauty recipes that can deliver the same results. Cosmo lists alternatives to your costly and expensive beauty items.

Hair Care

You can use vinegar (specifically apple cider vinegar) as hair rinse or scalp cleanser. It’s good for restoring hair’s lost shine and moisture due to chemical build up from using hair products, making your tresses look healthier. It also treats dandruff.

Facial Mask

Take a look in your fruit basket for some beauty produce. Bananas are great for making a homemade facial mask. Suitable for all skin types, this fruit can give you that radiant afterglow, according to MarieClaire.com, once you mash and mix it with ingredients that you surely have in your refrigerator: orange juice and honey.

Body Scrub

Don’t limit coffee to just a daily morning habit—in your mug. Coffee granules actually help decrease the formation of cellulite and help reduce the appearance of varicose veins. It’s one of the best body scrubs you can make at home which target two of the most pressing beauty concerns of women

Eye Treatment

We all know that cucumber slices placed above the eyes help reduce dark circles. But a good alternative are peaches, which give the same effect. Or, instead of throwing away your used tea bags, why not re-use them to remove eye puffiness?

Whitening And Pimple Control

Besides its whitening effects when rubbed on your armpits, elbows, and knees before taking a bath, calamansi also helps cure serious facial acne. You’ll definitely save a lot of money on calamansi. Just take the seeds from a bunch of used ones and plant them in a small area in your garden or backyard. Once it bears fruit, you can just keep on picking them for your beauty needs without spending a peso.
