type='text'>Ways To Live Your Life</title><content type='html'>Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the man you love but with the man who loves you more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being. To let go of someone does not mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in just loving someone from a distance, not expecting anything in return. Be careful though, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just friendship, we start our desperate attempts to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves. You do not have to forget someone you love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you lose love, it does not mean that you failed love. Cry if you have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left you with. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27960951-115642168877547714?l=miacarmel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/feeds/115642168877547714/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27960951&amp;postID=115642168877547714' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115642168877547714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115642168877547714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/2006/08/ways-to-live-your-life.html' title='Ways To Live Your Life'/><author><name>toyoyoink</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27960951.post-115642128918734837</id><published>2006-08-24T20:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-03T01:18:01.230+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Find a Guy</title><content type='html'>Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who calls you back when you hang up on him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who holds your hand in front of his friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/sigh.gif"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27960951-115642128918734837?l=miacarmel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/feeds/115642128918734837/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27960951&amp;postID=115642128918734837' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115642128918734837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115642128918734837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/2006/08/find-guy.html' title='Find a Guy'/><author><name>toyoyoink</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/th_sigh.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27960951.post-115433346963064891</id><published>2006-07-31T16:09:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-08T13:38:24.366+08:00</updated><title type='text'>75 Lessons that MUST be Learned in Relationships</title><content type='html'>1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. &lt;br /&gt;If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.&lt;br /&gt;2. Stop making excuses for a man and his &lt;br /&gt;behavior. &lt;br /&gt;3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a &lt;br /&gt;man's character, leave him alone.&lt;br /&gt;4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from &lt;br /&gt;heartache.&lt;br /&gt;5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship &lt;br /&gt;that's not meant to be.&lt;br /&gt;6. Don't force an attraction.&lt;br /&gt;7. Slower is better.&lt;br /&gt;8. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly &lt;br /&gt;happy.&lt;br /&gt;9. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you&lt;br /&gt;deserve then heck no you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.&lt;br /&gt;10. Have faith in God regarding your relationship, but don't let faith make you stupid. God does things decent and in order. &lt;br /&gt;11. Don't settle.&lt;br /&gt;12. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.&lt;br /&gt;13. If he keeps changing his mind about the relationship--take that as a BIG sign that he is unstable. Do you really want to be with a man like &lt;br /&gt;that?&lt;br /&gt;14. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at&lt;br /&gt;yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.&lt;br /&gt;15. Honorable men take care of their business &lt;br /&gt;and aren't involved in a whole lot of mess. &lt;br /&gt;16. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.&lt;br /&gt;17. There's only one 'reason' a man dumps you; he doesn't want you.&lt;br /&gt;18. Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different&lt;br /&gt;women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently? &lt;br /&gt;19. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince.&lt;br /&gt;20. Always put yourself and your happiness first.&lt;br /&gt;21. Always have your own set of friends separate from his.&lt;br /&gt;22. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. &lt;br /&gt;23. Like from the show Sex and the City, if he doesn't call, he just isn't&lt;br /&gt;that interested.&lt;br /&gt;24. Be honest and upfront.&lt;br /&gt;25. Know when to cut the cord, don't be strung along.&lt;br /&gt;26. Don't fall for the "I'm confused role". Remove yourself from the &lt;br /&gt;situation to let him figure things out (but don't wait for him, move on).&lt;br /&gt;27. If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family (not just mom).&lt;br /&gt;28. There's more than physical abuse, there's emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of them...flee. &lt;br /&gt;29. You cannot change a man's behaviors. Change comes from within.&lt;br /&gt;30. Don't let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow&lt;br /&gt;himself -- double-standard.&lt;br /&gt;31. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has more education or in a better job. &lt;br /&gt;32. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.&lt;br /&gt;33. Demand respect and if he can't give it, he can't have you!&lt;br /&gt;34. Don't compete with other woman, but be aware that men are attracted to what they see. &lt;br /&gt;35. If you think he is cheating, he probably is. Confront him right away&lt;br /&gt;and if you feel he's lying, let him go.&lt;br /&gt;36. Actions speak louder than words.&lt;br /&gt;37. Never let a man define who you are.&lt;br /&gt;38. Never rely on a man for compliments, look to yourself for that. &lt;br /&gt;39. Never borrow someone else's man.&lt;br /&gt;40. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.&lt;br /&gt;41. Just because he says he loves you, doesn't mean that he won't hurt you and it doesn't mean that you are meant to be with him. &lt;br /&gt;42. To use painful hard-won wisdom -- 'get it right' the next time.&lt;br /&gt;43. Know that you deserve to be the number one person in the life of the No.1 person in your life.&lt;br /&gt;44. Love is a verb ...&lt;br /&gt;45. Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to make someone &lt;br /&gt;unavailable-available, someone ungiving-giving, and someone unloving-loving.&lt;br /&gt;46. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.&lt;br /&gt;47. All men are NOT dogs.&lt;br /&gt;48. You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two way street. &lt;br /&gt;49. If you don't love self...you can't love anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;50. You cannot mend someone else's broken heart.&lt;br /&gt;51. You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute&lt;br /&gt;about baggage...deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. &lt;br /&gt;52. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complementary...not supplementary.&lt;br /&gt;53. Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. &lt;br /&gt;54. NEVER give more in a relationship than you are getting out of it.&lt;br /&gt;55. Never become your man's "therapist".&lt;br /&gt;56. When actions and words conflict, believe the actions. Respond to the actions.&lt;br /&gt;57. A real healthy relationship requires two people. One person can end &lt;br /&gt;it - but it takes two to make it work.&lt;br /&gt;58. Don't fall for the "I'm not the loving type"...when a man loves you&lt;br /&gt;there is nothing in this world (within reason) that he wouldn't do for you.&lt;br /&gt;59. Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him he takes it for granted. &lt;br /&gt;60. Give him his space...let him go out with his boys, don't pressure him to spend time with you, You cant force a man to hang out with you.&lt;br /&gt;61. If you wouldn't allow your daughter to be with him you shouldn't.&lt;br /&gt;62. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.&lt;br /&gt;63. Never move into his mother's house.&lt;br /&gt;64. Provide financially for yourself and don't depend on anyone.&lt;br /&gt;65. Never co-sign for a man.&lt;br /&gt;66. Never believe you have the perfect guy and he is so innocent. &lt;br /&gt;67. Never spoil your man; let him spoil you.&lt;br /&gt;68. Never let a man mess up your credit.&lt;br /&gt;69. When it's time to let go; let go.&lt;br /&gt;70. Good men should be treated like good men.&lt;br /&gt;71. Don't play games.&lt;br /&gt;72. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. &lt;br /&gt;73. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.&lt;br /&gt;74. Compatibility in terms of educational attainment, values, beliefs,&lt;br /&gt;personal and career goals, and socioeconomic status, are important.&lt;br /&gt;75. Never date a guy who wears color contact lens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/_ok2.gif"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27960951-115433346963064891?l=miacarmel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/feeds/115433346963064891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27960951&amp;postID=115433346963064891' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115433346963064891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115433346963064891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/2006/07/75-lessons-that-must-be-learned-in.html' title='75 Lessons that MUST be Learned in Relationships'/><author><name>toyoyoink</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/th__ok2.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27960951.post-115391896944852290</id><published>2006-07-26T20:20:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-18T00:19:06.846+08:00</updated><title type='text'>What does your name mean?</title><content type='html'>found this at Samantha's Friendster Blog... yet i find this real crazy and fun! &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/giggle.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M - Success comes easily to you.&lt;br /&gt;I - You get hyper easily.&lt;br /&gt;A - damn good kisser&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C - You're wild 'n crazy&lt;br /&gt;A - damn good kisser&lt;br /&gt;R - Fuckin sexy.&lt;br /&gt;M - Success comes easily to you.&lt;br /&gt;E - You are nice.&lt;br /&gt;L - You live to have fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;W - You are very broad minded.&lt;br /&gt;O - Great In The Bed!&lt;br /&gt;N - You are absolutly beautiful&lt;br /&gt;G - You never let people tell you what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmmm?.. &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/thinking.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Success comes easily to me?? don't want success this early!!! so tiring!!! &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/d_oh.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get hyper easily?? &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/thinking.gif"&gt; not always.. &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/bleh.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;uh me?.. a damn good kisser?? &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/batting_eyes.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm wild 'n crazy?? just leave crazy cuz i'm not that wild.. &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/devil.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuckin sexy??

Yet the most effective involves the saying of just three words. When spoken or conveyed, these statements have the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that have cooled. The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I'll be there.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there." Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I miss you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how ecstatic you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I respect you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respect is another way of showing love. Respect conveys the feeling that another person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become close friends. This applies to all interpersonal relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Maybe you're right.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an argument and restoring frayed emotions. The flip side to "maybe your right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'm wrong". Let's face it. When you have a heated argument with someone, all you do is cement the other person's point of view. They, or you, will not change their stance and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can open the door to further explore the subject, in which you may then have the opportunity to get your view across in a more rational manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Please forgive me.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I thank you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Count on me.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship; it is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Let me help.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best of friends see a need and try to fill it. When they spot a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they pitch in and help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I understand you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People become closer and enjoy each other more if they feel the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know in so many little ways that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. This applies to any relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Go for it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how weird they seem to you. Everyone has dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I love you.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I love you..." &lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/kiss.gif"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27960951-115331530167602722?l=miacarmel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/feeds/115331530167602722/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27960951&amp;postID=115331530167602722' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115331530167602722'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115331530167602722'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/2006/07/three-meaningful-words_19.html' title='Three Meaningful Words'/><author><name>toyoyoink</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/ym/th_kiss.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27960951.post-115315017185349892</id><published>2006-07-17T23:28:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-17T23:34:30.250+08:00</updated><title type='text'>mia and my shadow... hehe!</title><content type='html'>&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/m2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/i2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/a2.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/c2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/a2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/r2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/m2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/e2.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/l2.gif"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27960951-115315017185349892?l=miacarmel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/feeds/115315017185349892/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27960951&amp;postID=115315017185349892' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115315017185349892'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/115315017185349892'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/2006/07/mia-and-my-shadow-hehe.html' title='mia and my shadow... hehe!'/><author><name>toyoyoink</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e126/miacarmel/mia/th_m2.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27960951.post-115299270585239126</id><published>2006-07-16T03:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-07-16T03:54:41.170+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Life</title><content type='html'>Life isn't about going back, it's about going forward.

It is the risk of getting hurt when you fall in love, 'coz experiencing the joy of being loved is worth all the pain..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times when we love so much that we lose ourselves in our own emotions. More often than that, we wonder why there are love that grows and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been... silent, mysterious and deeply profound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us believe that love is forever, that love never dies, only to be distinguished in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly have looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We too should only embrace its warmth and glow while it last and then freely open our eyes when it's time to say goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we fall in love with someone, we don't want that feeling to end for it's everything we are, everything that we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn't, then we should never let our lives be taken by it, for life should not end where heartaches begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart. For love will have to set its wings free and find the place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we'll know that it has never left us, for the good we have become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy, not because we have lost love. But because, for ones in our lives, that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Dear Lord</title><content type='html'>Every single evening&lt;br /&gt;As I'm lying here in bed,&lt;br /&gt;This tiny little Prayer&lt;br /&gt;Keeps running through my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless all my family&lt;br /&gt;Wherever they may be,&lt;br /&gt;Keep them warm and safe from harm&lt;br /&gt;For they're so close to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And God, there is one more thing&lt;br /&gt;I wish that you could do,&lt;br /&gt;Hope you don't mind me asking&lt;br /&gt;Please bless my computer too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I know that it's unusual&lt;br /&gt;To Bless a motherboard,&lt;br /&gt;But listen just a second&lt;br /&gt;While I explain it to you, Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see that little metal box&lt;br /&gt;Holds more than odds and ends,&lt;br /&gt;Inside those small compartments&lt;br /&gt;Rest so many of my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know so much about them&lt;br /&gt;By the kindness that they give,&lt;br /&gt;And this little scrap of metal&lt;br /&gt;Takes me in to where they live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By faith is how I know them&lt;br /&gt;Much the same as you,&lt;br /&gt;We share in what life brings us&lt;br /&gt;And from that our friendships grew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please take an extra minute&lt;br /&gt;From your duties up above,&lt;br /&gt;To bless those in my address book&lt;br /&gt;That's filled with so much love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wherever else this prayer may reach&lt;br /&gt;To each and every friend,&lt;br /&gt;Bless each e-mail inbox&lt;br /&gt;And each person who hits send.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you update your Heavenly list&lt;br /&gt;On your own CD-ROM,&lt;br /&gt;Bless everyone who says this prayer&lt;br /&gt;Sent up to GOD.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amen.&lt;div

The first two days were so boring because I had to read some tutorials. The following 5 days were very stressful... Challenging in a way that I’m not certain of the things that I’m supposed to do. Glad that many people were able to help me out and led me to the right path. This is gonna be one tough ride for me and for the days to come. God help me and I beg you to give me strength, wisdom, and perseverance. I know, in time, I’ll be getting used to this kind of life and work.

Our office hour starts at 8:00AM and I always arrive just in the nick of time. But usually, I'm late! And I dont worry cuz i wont get memos of all my tardies.. salary deductions only.. hehe! I'm abusive huh?.. That's because.. &lt;!--I'm not motivated to work! you cant blame me cuz I'm working my butt here and i get no monetary incentives! plus.. knowing that I'm a tax evader.. that really pisses me off! But there's nothing i can do as of now.. I'll just keep on working  and still apply for another job. Hope some company out there would hire me.. hehe! --&gt; ***Some text missing*** hehe!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27960951-114947747093866482?l=miacarmel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/feeds/114947747093866482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=27960951&amp;postID=114947747093866482' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/114947747093866482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27960951/posts/default/114947747093866482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miacarmel.blogspot.com/2006/06/same-shit-different-day-grrrrrr.html' title='Same Shit Different Day...
