Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. -Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

words of strength

April 30, 2008

By Max Lucado

When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others become stronger. Ephesians 4:29

Before you speak, ask: Will what I’m about to say help others become stronger?

You have the ability, with your words, to make a person stronger. Your words are to their soul what a vitamin is to their body. If you had food and saw someone starving, would you not share it? If you had water and saw someone dying of thirst, would you not give it? Of course you would. Then won’t you do the same for their hearts? Your words are food and water!

Do not withhold encouragement from the discouraged.

Do not keep affirmation from the beaten down!

Speak words that make people stronger. Believe in them as God has believed in you.

so you’re getting married huh?!

April 17, 2008

You think you got it all figured out huh! Well, before joining the bandwagon, consider some of these things I found on the net. I’m sure the wife will not be pleased. Just kidding babe!

Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence–a life sentence.

Marriage is very much like a violin; after the sweet music is over, the strings are attached.

Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor’s Degree and the woman gets her Masters.

Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries inherited forever.

Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of “rings”:
* The Engagement Ring (Okay, got that)
* The Wedding Ring (Got that too)
* The Suffe-Ring (I think I’ll skip this, right wife?)
* The Endu-Ring (This I don’t know)

A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking, the husband gives and the wife takes. 

They say that when a man holds a woman’s hand before marriage, it is love. After marriage, It is self-defence.

I live by one rule: Happy wife, happy life.

the mighty has fallen

April 14, 2008

For three memorable years, the uber “special” CED Group* occupied the fancy second floor. But today, Monday, April 14, 2008, as if smitten by the warlords to wreak havoc and raise hell on S.S., and therefore get fired,  the uber “special” CED Group has moved to the fourth floor. Yup! These spoiled brats are moving to the dilapidated fourth floor, where they belong with the rest of the production people. Well, it’s not really dilapidated, more like unkept or worn out. But sooo much different from what they are used to.

Oh! Did I mention that there is this funny smell?

One CED said that the carpeting is pang-mahirap.

Another said that the steps leading to the fourth floor gets uber pangit as you go up!

Hmm. I don’t know. This might be a good thing!

 

*Main Entry: CED Group

 Part of Speech: noun

 Definition: an elite group of people, much like the Gucci Gang, but better, smarter, and much more conceited, hehe, that’s us! Almost like superheroes! (Seriously though, the CEDs are a great bunch!)

havin a baby?!

April 7, 2008

Of course we want to have one, more like two, preferably a boy and a girl.

A baby brings so much joy in a family, completes a family. Some couples wait years before bringing kid(s) to the marriage, while others want one right away. During the first few weeks of our marriage, we wanted to have a baby right away. The idea of having a baby seems fun, maybe because we know that we will be good parents. Geez, I know we are going to be great!

But thats just it. Every couple who dreams of having a baby thinks that they’d be great parents without thinking of the issues a baby will bring.

With only more than two months into the marriage, we don’t know if we should have one right away. We don’t know if the time is right. Having a baby is a BIG responsibility. HUGE! Not to mention very expensive, what with the baby stuff we need to buy. With the wedding just a couple of months ago, our finances aren’t so good; we are stil trying to save save save.  And since both of us work, we don’t know how we would manage our time taking care of the baby.

I’ve always wanted to be a dad, but now, I don’t know if I have what it takes to be a dad. Imagine being fully responsible for another human being. Whoa! And I don’t even take a bath everyday! (I can go three days without havin one!)

I started this blog so I could keep a journal of the things that happen, and one of them is becoming a father, maybe someday soon.

the sweetest thing

April 3, 2008

 

 

The sweetest thing has happened. U2. Here in Manila. Not for a live concert though. Not yet. Their live concert here in the Philippines is set for the last quarter of the year, around Ocober (if all goes well). And I realy really want to go, and I really really want to buy the good tickets, but that would be too pricey, too rich for my blood. But my birthday is in October (*grin*). Sure hope the wife is planning something. And a live U2 concert is something at the top of my list (*hint*). They are my absolute favorite. Rarely do I buy original CDs. But when it comes to U2, I don’t mind spending.

The next best thing to a live concert is U2 in 3D. Would definetely watch this. Now showing in SM MOA IMAX Theather. Go watch. Show schedule as follows:

Thursday, Sunday, and Monday (April 7) at 3:30 PM, 5:30 PM, 7:30 PM, and 9:30 PM.Friday and Saturday  at 5 PM, 7 PM, 9 PM, and 11 PM.

Tickets are at 500.
