How to become happy

posted: Wed 5th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

The answer on how to become happy can be found in your own home.

The wall says "Be strong"

The ceiling says "Aim high"

The door says "Be open"

 

The window says "Learn to give and take"

The clock says

"Time is gold"

The calendar says "Live each days as if it is the last"

The cabinet says "Keep things in order"

The bed says "Take time to relax"

and the lamp says "Be the light"

 

You don’t have to look too far to become happy.

You just need to know your place and love what you already have.

Are You A Bent or Standing Rice Head

Have you ever observed a rice field and noticed which heads are bent and which ones stand up straight?

Well, the empty heads are standing tall and high, while the heads that are filled with grain are bending low.

Indeed, the true great and strong people are humble and gentle, for true giants don’t mind bowing low.

Never Let Go

"Never let go of anyone that you couldn’t go a day

without thinking about.

There just might be a very good reason

why they’re always on your mind.

Sometimes, it’s the brain that knows too well

what the heart tries so hard to deny."

Longing

The air is rancid

The single bed is roomy

The food - stale

and the phones could not wait to announce your call.

An SMS from a “strange” Stranger

posted: Wed 5th Jul, 2006, categories: Uncategorized

Recently, Gwen recieved a message from a stranger. And as a ritual Gwen & I have to get rid of annoying ex’s I am the one who replied to the stranger (and vice versa when I get messages from strangers). Amazingly she introduced herself and asked for my NASAL! Gwen & I were both shocked! We had no idea what she was asking for. We later on figured out that she was asking for my Name, Age, Sex, Location (but i think that should be simply NASL, unless I missed out on something)

The message that I was conveying to her is that we (indicating Gwen’s number & mine) do not welcome conversations from strangers especially those who want to be "txtmates" of ours. I made it very clear. And I think I could remember Gwen saying that I was too polite. After a few minutes I recieved a message from the stranger and this is what she said "Sure why not? Anong name mo?"

I specifically told her that we would appreciate it if she would no longer send us messages. Well, actually she is now texting my number instead of  Gwen’s. After a series of messages we discovered that she could not understand English and that we had to translate our previous messages to her into Tagalog (not for her sake but ours). When we sent her the tagalog messages she was furious and started calling us names (in tagalog of course. Oh except for the word "gigolo". She wasn’t sure if she was talking to a man or a woman)

Our conversation in tagalog proved to be a bit difficult and we had to resort to english to be able to say what we mean. In doing so, we just recieve the messages we sent to her. She’d just send it back to us. We actually resorted to being rude to her (in english) and she would just send us back our message. However, tried translating everything we said from english to tagalog and she bombards us with all the loathsome words she can come up with.

This girl recognizes no authority, no title, no woman for that matter. The words she used are quite offensive for a woman coming from another female of the species. But that’s another subject. She simply did not understand english. And when the message is translated for her (yes! every tagalog word - which is not very easy) she freaks out with all the hate she could muster!

Instead of admitting that she is a nuisance, she digs her own grave by continously using stupid and odious words. Maybe the words she used could mean something for others but I strongly doubt it. I could be wrong though. Here are some of the words she used whenever I translate my messages into tagalog : SHADAH… (what follows is a complete text message) SHEDA VODKHA….PUYAYI….GGOLO….ARI MY GTO….NMP…..TMNC…. (if you understand any of this please let me know through a comment or you can send me an email)

She triggered a constant feeling of detestation in me and I hope and pray that the flow of hateful words in my head would cease. emoticon
