My DESIDERATA 2? =)

Friday, January 27th, 2006

You create your feelings and you are responsible for them.
By controlling those feelings in a positive and purposeful way,
you can profoundly change your life for the better.

If you blame another person for your feelings,
what you’re really doing is giving that person control over an important part of your life.
If you avoid taking responsibility for your feelings,
those feelings can quickly overwhelm you and leave you powerless.

The way you feel can affect every corner of your life.
By taking positive control of your feelings,
you put yourself in a powerful and influential position in your world.

Keep in mind that every feeling you experience is a feeling you have chosen.
‘Though much of what comes your way is beyond your control,
the way you feel about it all is completely up to you.

If your life seems to be stuck,
that’s a sure sign that you’re holding on to feelings that are no longer appropriate.
Know that you can let those feelings go and be gloriously free to move quickly ahead.

Feelings are powerful and can bring much richness to life,
and the power they have is the power you choose to give them. Choose your feelings wisely, and life will be rich indeed.

– Ralph Marston

The Great Planner =)

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

The best gift anyone can give me this new year is a planner. I like
planners because I am a planner.

I like thinking ahead.
I like being prepared.
I get a high from being on top of things.

But some things are beyond planning. And life doesn’t always turn out
as planned.

You don’t plan for a broken heart.
You don’t plan for a failed business venture.
You don’t plan for an adulterous husband.
Or a wife who wants you out of her life.
You don’t plan for an autistic child.
You don’t plan for spinsterhood.
You don’t plan for a lump in your breast.

You plan to be young forever. You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful. You plan to be acclaimed and
successful. You plan to conquer the universe.
You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.

You don’t plan to be sad.
You don’t plan to be hurt.
You don’t plan to be broke.
You don’t plan to be betrayed.
You don’t plan to be alone in this world

You plan to be happy. You don’t plan to be shattered. Sometimes if you
work hard enough, you can get what you want. But most of the time, what you
want and what you get are two different things.

We, mortals, plan. But so does God in the heavens.

Sometimes, it is difficult to understand God’s plans - especially when
His plans are not in consonance with ours.
Often, when God sends us
crisis, we turn to Him in anger. True, we cannot choose the cross that
God wishes us to carry, but we can carry that cross with courage knowing that God will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope with.

Sometimes God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes God sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes God sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes God sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
Sometimes God takes everything away from us so we can
learn the value of everything He gave us.

Make plans but understand that we live by God’s grace. It’s hard, I know. BUT LET US PLEASE TRY =) SO HELP US GOD.

UNRIPE THE ‘RAPED’ =)

PRIMED 2005 ARCHIVES:

* THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE!

THIS IS MY BLOG (& NOT just another JOURNAL entry) … finally! =)

So, just sit back & relax!

Guia will take GREAT CARE of you! =)

WOW! I’m so GLAD to be part of the BIG WEB! =)

GOD REIGNS!!! =)

* ROMANCE MASTER: The BLOG Edition =)

Proverbs

4:23

says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” That’s the key. Guard your heart. Because that’s where it all starts…

* DEPRESSION 101

…IN CONCLUSION: Admit to God you need his help in order to live rightly with peace and joy. Repent of any known sin. Accept God’s forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:9).

Rebuild your spiritual life through Bible reading, prayer and fellowship with other Christians. Attend a local Bible-believing church faithfully. Being an active member in a church is a good way to begin to grow spiritually and learn an overcoming faith…

* REJECTION’s RESURRECTION =)

…And finally, don’t be surprised if once you are on the other side of depression, you thank God for his love and ask him for healing and renewed joy in life.

For Further Study:
God’s love for us - Psalm 42:4-11
The right way to think - Philippians 4:4-13
God is touched by our feelings - Hebrews 4:14-16
Repentance assures God’s presence - James 4:8
God gives peace - Isaiah 26:3; John 14:27

* LET GO! MOVE ON! =)

My child,

Give up! Give up those hurts of the past. It’s time to move on…

* Undefective PERSPECTIVE! =)

… By the bye, it’s simply started with the word NEUROSIS. I typed it on the search engine and voila! Carl Gustav Jung stated this pala: “Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering” What’s more? Dr Dowdall’s got this very interesting COMPRESSED PERSPECTIVE…

* MY LUCKY 9 =)

Homo sapiens sapiens endured enough suffering in this world.

Pero guess what? Madali lang maging masayahin!=) As posted on Dowdell’s psycho site,

Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like no-one’s watching.
Sing like no-one’s listening.
Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.

That simple?! Well, in my twenty-four years of living (& reading & writing &…=), I DISCOVERED the 9 life’s greatest potions:

9. JUST ENJOY LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME.

8.      WHEN LOVE POURS ON YOU like a refreshing summer shower, REJOICE!

7. PROFOUNDLY DECIPHER THE ESSENCE OF “THE LITTLE PRINCE”

(by de Saint Exupéry).

6.   ACCEPT THE ROCK WHOLEHEARTEDLY. 

* HAVE FUN {@d heart court;-} hehehe!

… Sometimes the correct answers are not always the right answers. Certainly when it comes to matters of faith, reason more often than not, has to take a back seat. Not that you have to turn your brain off. It’s just that the Christian faith rarely makes sense to people unfamiliar with the often upside-down world of Christianity. Sabi nga nila, mga weird daw tayong mga Christians. Sa dinami-dami nga ng lugar e sa krus nga napanalo ni Kristo ang FINALS, di ba? Sabi nga ng Bible, Sa I Corinthians 1:23 - 25, Kabaliwan ang tingin ng mga unbelievers sa salvation na ginawa ni Hesus. Ang mga matatalinong tao, alam nila na even though the gospel doesn’t add up, the truth of it sets us free!!!

* JEALOUSY 101 ;-P

…MOD Mag shares some valuable tips on CONFIDENCE 101:

·ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE. ·REVIEW YOUR THOUGHTS AND STOP COMPARING. ·UPDATE YOUR SKILLS. ·HELP SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE. ·CHERISH THE ONES YOU LOVE. ·TRAVEL AND EXPLORE. ·MEET NEW PEOPLE. ·WRITE DOWN ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

Great family and friends, good health, mesmerizing sunset, etc etc etc!!!=) The happiness of life is made up of little things – a caring smile from a stranger, a longing hug from your true love, and liberating moments of shared laughter.

Remember that everybody has frailties and weaknesses and we should also accept that some people will be better or worse off than us. CONTENTMENT IS NOT THE FULFILLMENT OF WHAT WE WANT BUT THE REALIZATION OF HOW MUCH WE ALREADY HAVE. We should always choose an attitude of gratitude. The best things in life are free- so let’s enjoy them! =)

* A DREAMER…IN ACTION! ; )

If you think you arent good enough
The next time you feel like GOD cant
use you, just remember
Noah was a drunk.
Abraham was too old.
Isaac was a daydreamer.
Jacob was a liar.
Leah was ugly.
Joseph was abused.
Moses had a shuttering problem.
Gideon was afraid.
Samson had a long hair & was a
womanizer.
Rahab was a prostitute.
Jeremiah & Timothy were too young.
David had an affair & was a murderer.
Elijah was suicidal.
Isaiah preached naked.
Jonah ran from God.
Naomi was a widow.
Job went bankrupt.
John the Baptist ate bugs.
Peter denied Christ.
The Disciples fell asleep while praying.
Martha worried about everything.
The Samaritan woman was divorced,
more than once.
Zaccheus was too small.
Paul was too religious.
Timothy had an ulcer
And
Lazarus was dead =(
What do you have thats worse than
that?
So no more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential

* INSTALLING love…

… Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and
Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from
your current operating system. It may remain in your
permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other
programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-
Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-
Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off
Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent
Love from being properly installed. Can you turn
those off ?

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile
is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are
copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support : Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually
everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is
installed and running. One more thing before we hang
up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its
various modules to everyone you meet. They will in
turn share it with others and return some cool
modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God!

‘RAPE’ THE UNRIPE =)

All Set? Here’s more ARCHIVES:

* CHARITY 101 =)

Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer, and gathers her provision in the harvest. Within their colony, ants have calculated almost exactly what they will need to get through the winter. They gather and store that amount in their anthill during the summer and autumn…

* Always Give Your BEST Shot c",)

… One thing I do know: Jason, and the way he did his job, is a perfect metaphor for anyone who wants to achieve and excel in the 21st century. By learning how to be a Jason, it’s possible to do extraordinary work. And that means being an extraordinary person as well- something we all want to be =) PRINCIPLE A1: EVERYONE MAKES A DIFFERENCE. It doesn’t matter how large or even how ineffective an organization is. An individual can still make a difference. You can make a difference. Nobody can prevent you from choosing to be exceptional. At the end of the day, the only question that matters is, what kind of difference did you make? Fred Smith, the distinguished author and business leader, has noted from his years of leadership experience that "most people have a passion for significance." And Jason chose to make a positive difference. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well c’",)

* Blessed Love =)

You long to give yourself completely to someone,
to have deep and soul relationship with another,

to love thoroughly and exclusively, but GOD says…

NO, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and
contented with being loved by ME alone…

with giving yourself totally unreservedly to me…
to having an intensely personal and

unique relationship with ME alone,

discovering that only in ME

is your satisfaction to be found then
you will capable of the perfect human
relationship I have planned for you.

You will never be united with another
until you are united with ME.

Exclusive of anyone, anything else,

Exclusive of any other desires or longings.

Magdalena

, the WEDDING PLANNER at 24:

“Do not look for the ‘Man Of Your Dreams’

instead choose one LUCKY man

& be all the ‘Woman He Will Ever Need’.

Create a clean heart and RENEW your spirit.

Just do the right things before God” =)

* 10 GUIDELINES FROM GOD =)

Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life.

These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life…

10. LOVE YOURSELF.

As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself?

You were created by me for one reason only — to be loved, and to love in return.

I am a God of Love. Love Me.

Love your neighbors.

But also love yourself.

It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong.

You are very precious to me. Don’t ever forget.

* ~REPENTANCE OF A PRINCESS~

Have the hounds of hell come after you with their accusations of guilt from past sin?
It’s time to make them turn tail and run back to the pit.
How do you do that?
The Word!

… I am God’s princess. It’s awesome to be! ;)

HEY! CHECK THIS OUT: http://glory2jesus.tripod.com/healourland/

* ~LEADERSHIP 101~

For anyone leading young people I would say to you… keep your relationship with Jesus your number one priority on life. It will make you a better leader and ultimately a better person…

* ~CHASTITY 101~

Women do like to dress well, and they enjoy attention from men. But men can misinterpret your message. Consider the presentation you make. To maintain your standards and your Christian testimony, evaluate how you dress, act and talk in light of the passage, "Do not be conformed to this world" (

Rom.

12:2, NASB).

To summarize, the best way to maintain a pure relationship is to:

1. Identify your values in advance.
2. List all the negative results of premarital sexual involvement.
If you need help in this area, see the book ‘Why Wait’ by Josh McDowell
and Dick Day for a listing of 26 reasons to wait.
3. Write out your definition of the kind of spouse you want.
4. Dress appropriately in light of these standards.
5. Be open about your standards, and if your relationship is
developing, establish a covenant of sexual conduct together. Commit
it to the Lord through prayer, sign it, and become accountable
together to two other couples.

Note: I believe I have posted in my bulletin the 1st part of this "PMS" <or as what Gellai told me "Pakasal Muna Sister" (bago magbuntis), hehehe!=>

HAPPY READING, folks! =)

* ON THE WINGS OF PRAYER =)

…For life on earth grows more involved
With endless problems that can’t be solved
But God only asks us to do our best,
Then he will "take over" and finish the rest…

God has a goal for each of our lives, and that is to conform us to His Son Jesus Christ. This is not done over night…

* MY LUCKY 9 (WAVE 2=)

The little philosopher returns. And it’s no ego at work, mind yah!=)

HABANG MAY BUHAY of Wency Cornejo is playing at

2:24 AM

. It stirs up my unfounded dreams. Complicated to reveal in here. But more ‘monmon’ questions need to be answered, right? Just…

AS MY LUCKY 9 RULE STATES:

9 Just enjoy life

8 Exult in love

7 Savor your uniqueness

6 be aU fait with a moving faith in God

And now…

5 Sin no more.

We are called to be protected and perfected…

God uses problems to PROTECT you.
God uses problems to PERFECT you.

4 Laugh galore.

How to make happiness a true habit? We need to put God first in our lives…

3 Offer everything.

I saw a vision of myself in the middle of the sea. I was trying to reach the shore.
Somehow, as I tried harder to swim, the strong current seemed to push me even farther from the land. I tried harder and yet all my efforts seemed to be useless…

2 Victor your spot…for you and your loved ones!=)

If your life seems constantly abuzz with activity and you just can’t escape the chaos, maybe it’s time to create a "chill out" space in your home that promotes leisure and a little alone time…

1 Expect miracles.

ON LOVE: I want someone to pluck me off the side of the road and love me with total abandon. I’m not talking about God here, not something ephemeral, but a man, a flesh and blood man. A man who’ll cast out my self doubt and drive it into the lake to be drowned. A man who thinks I’m worth everything. Maybe I’m being selfish or overly romantic. Maybe I’m expecting too much. Maybe I have to change things before that happens. But human love, with all its heat and tumult, with all its disappointments and triumph, is still the closet thing we have to heaven on earth." - Legion by Waiter Rant

ON LIFE:
When ever worry, doubt or fear attack you, try these
Emergency Numbers:

When in sorrow………………………..call JOHN 14
When men fail you……………………call PSALM 27
When you have sinned………………call PSALM 51

Well, these sites can improve your blog nga po pala:

* JEWEL in these QUOTES…

…BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us.

When it hurts to look back, and you’re scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP "NEVER" ENDS…Friends are FOREVER. Good friends are like shooting stars….You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.

Don’t frown… You never know who is falling in love with your smile.

What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?…

Have an awesome day, and know that someone who thinks you’re great has thought about you today! Hey! That’s me! =)

* RAINBOW: not perfect but so much loved!=)

One windy spring day, I observed young people having
fun using the wind to
fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying
shapes and sizes filled
the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing in
the heady atmosphere
above the earth. As the strong winds gusted against
the kites, a string kept
them in check…

Let us each rise to the great heights our Heavenly
Father has in store
for us, recognizing that some of the restraints that
we may chafe under are
actually the steadying force that helps us ascend and
achieve.

Life is like

an empty page

for us to write on

but GOD

IS THE ULTIMATE EDITOR

who corrects

& approves it.

May God favor your life as the best one written everyday!=)
