I'm currently in the process of clearing my emails/personal messages in my yahoo and social network account because of the hacking attempt 2 weeks ago. I don't want that stalker to get to know me more by reading my personal messages.
I felt violated. Kakainis!
A normal individual won't do that. And to invade someone's privacy is a big NO NO for me. That's OBSESSION, CRAZY and REALLY PATHETIC! Hope he'll somehow realize that.
And I'm actually contemplating on deleting my Friendster account and signing up for a new yahoo mail account just to be safe:)
Hay...

Singapore
I just realized that I haven't blogged about my Singapore trip yet. I'm feeling kinda lazy these days...
My trip to Singapore was really worth it. I especially like their transportation system. There's no traffic and no pollution at all. It may be good to visit the place once in a while but I can't imagine myself working or living there, away from my family. It may take a lot of courage, I think, before I can consider working abroad. That's why I admire my friends who leave their comfort zones and try their luck abroad.
Enough of the emo mood, here are some of my favorite pictures.

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

Stalker
I'm afraid promise! Someone has been stalking me thru text messages and he scares the hell out of me. He's weird. Sobrang nakakatakot.
He's been like this for years but not as kulit as he is now. I hope he'll stop texting me, PLEASE!!!
I often tell my family and friends that if something bad ever happens to me, he's the number 1 suspect. I'm sure about that.
So please, stop bugging me! utang na loob!

Carrots, Eggs, & Coffee
A very inspiring story :)
A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'
'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied..
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through th e boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Still on MJ
Just wondering. I love MJ so much but I can't help but think if he ever thought about his children when he was busy taking all those dangerous drugs.
Personally, I believe that parents should think twice about their actions because the consequences are definitely going to have an effect on their children. We all have our issues in life, but maybe it's just fair for your children (whom you brought into life)that you weigh things first before you engage into anything that's unsafe and life-threatening. They deserve that.
I can't blame him though. He may have very serious problems that's been bugging him for years. And I can only hope and pray that he's at peace now and that his children will be taken good care of :)
I still love you MJ!!! :)
