Life

Live life one day at a time; share it with people who matter most to you. Life is a little jar of memories so fill it with people worth remembering.

 

My cousin’s first born passed away last week. She was only ten.  I hardly knew her, but I love her. She’s a relative and it can be observed that our culture values blood relations. Only ten was she. And I was deprived of time to know how beautifully she existed. I guess I need to pay more attention to  what surrounds me.

Miracles

Miracles are not mysterious or impossible to achieve. A miracle is the small thing you do that makes a big difference in someone else’s life.

From the Dark

posted: Thu 31st Aug, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

From dark clouds

we get water to drink

From dark mines

we get bright jewels

From the darkest trials

come our best blessings.

Be still.

God is in control.

The Brightest Star

posted: Fri 25th Aug, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff
They who clear the clouds for others will get sunshine for themselves.
They who give light unto others make themselves the brightest star.
 
 This reminds me of our former Musical Director. Mae always beams the brightest smile on us and that alone is enough to cause us all to behave well during choir practices. Even the naughtiest among us listens to her. Even the most rebellious in the group respects her. And I believe its all because of her magical smile. It moves us all in a very uplifting way that even the darkest of our thoughts are thrown back by just one smile from her.
 
Ofcourse she’s also doing very well in her trade, truly worthy of respect. But the thought of this one person being able to bring inspiration to the entire group bewilders me. I’ve been with several musical groups and management always seemed to be a tough job that I could almost see the wrinkles form on the group leaders face. Like they’re growing old right in front of me.
 
Still, Mae manages to smile and make us smile too! Its like her presence never fails to let the sunshine in. How she does it, I have no clue. Why she does it? Maybe to let the sunshine in her life as well.
 
She has shown me that its possible to accomplish perfection without incurring stress spots and premature wrinkles. For the few years that I played under her baton, Mae has brought a brilliant light upon us and for this she herself has indeed become the brightest star.

Words That Inspire

"The important thing is not to be bitter over lifes’ difficulties. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny. And if you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember - it is only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall.. because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing things that scare you most."
 
This is a pretty lengthy one and I have no idea who originally wrote it. I just recieved it through SMS and felt moved by it so I thought I’d share it with you. If you know where this quote came from please let me know so I may give them proper recognition. 

One Night..

posted: Wed 23rd Aug, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff, Humor

One night I ran away

Got lost in the world

Stumbled

Cried

Ran after someone

Got wounded

Dreamt

Fell into puddles

And stood up again

 

Cool huh?! And it all happened in one night! 

Like a Puzzle Piece

posted: Mon 24th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

You are part of the puzzle of someone else’s life.

You may never know where you fit but others will fill the holes in their lives with pieces of you.

So if you run out of reasons to live,

remember that someone else’s life may never be complete without you in it. 

 

Its often a bit corny reading stuff like this on my mobile phone but keeping record these forwarded quotes sometimes gives me some sort of slight encouragement, enough to keep me sane, enough to keep me going through tough times. 

Okay.

Enough of that sentimental crap. Move along now. 

Something about Friendship

posted: Tue 18th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

Friendship isn’t about whom you have known the longest,

who came first,

or who cares the most.

It’s about who came,

cared,

and never left.

In my 27+ years of existence I have had more than a public schools number of required classroom students whom I can generally call my friends. A tenth of me is dismayed  because this SMS made me realize that I have only 4 people left in my friends list. The only four who are still here, and still caring for whatever dung pile I’m burying myself in. The greater part of me is glad to know that these people who stayed are painfully honest and trustworthy. Only 4. Imagine that. My best friend isn’t part of the fantastic four. I lost her sometime last year. I miss her first born. My wonderful goddaughter. *sigh*

God’s Musicians

posted: Sun 16th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

God is the great composer of life and He made great music for us. But we are still the musicians, and we should perform our lives according to His compositions.

But a point to ponder is that we are also called to make a joyful noise. So can our lives truly be lived raucously yet remain to be for the Lord?

perfect moments

posted: Thu 13th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

At times, life never seems to be the way we want it, but we live it the way we can. There’s no perfect life but we can fill it with perfect moments.

Now I’m at a loss for words. I can only agree with this SMS (for now at least).

Choices

posted: Sat 8th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

Everyday, every one of us is tested, and everyday we make choices.

I’m choosing to go forward,

to prove to everyone that even if you go through hell on earth,

you can still choose to be good.

The Gift of Life

posted: Sat 8th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

Life is travelled only once.

Today’s moment becomes tomorrow’s memory.

Enjoy every moment,

good and bad,

happy or sad.

Because the gift of life

is life itself.

 

I guess even with nothing much to do, except on weekends, I ought to be happy. Well I am. At least I believe I am. Oh! No time for such crap I have a piano lesson to attend to! I almost forgot its a Saturday!

Of Stars and People

posted: Sat 8th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

Each of us represent a star in heaven

Sometimes we shine with the rest

Sometimes we twinkle alone

and sometimes, we may never know,

that we actually made someone’s wish come true.

memories..

posted: Sat 8th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

What makes the past special is the way each one remembers the other when they are apart.

They miss the talks, the laughters and the times they’ve been together.

Life changes but memories do not.

Life is Full of Rewards

posted: Sat 8th Jul, 2006, categories: SMS Stuff

If you eat properly,

exercise daily

& take good care of yourself

for sixty years..

what’s your reward?

a 20% Discount on purchases

using your

Senior Citizen card.

Ha ha. Its corny, I know. But give it some thought. With the lifestyle we have nowadays, it would already be a reward getting to that age. Another bonus it would be if we are in good health. Otherwise, we’d probably use the 20% discount more often on maintainance drugs than on food and transportation expenses. I wonder how old I would be before my body start failing?
