I am here for Friends

About Me

MY PRINCIPLE. READ THIS and TELL ME what you think...I love knowing new things. Diversity of life experience is vital to my existence. It enriches my soul. I believe every person should visit a foreign country at least once in his/her lifetime and try to understand other cultures.Have a lifelong commitment to fitness. Cut back on junk food and eat more fruits and vegetables. This is hard but this I really dream of doing!Inject some spirituality into your life. As much as possible, don’t lie. Appreciate honesty in people. When in pain, remember that suffering is enriching, the lessons learned are lifelong. You harvest success in the end.Call your parents at least once a month. Be able to tell who the good friends are from the bad ones.Love your job,besides its the only thing thats giving you food and shelter (well , unless you're a bummer). Always improve your cerebral self. Be able to talk about politics,stock market, movies, the tv programs of GMA and ABS CBN,latest music and artists,current events ..all in one breath. Always have an intelligent opinion about every conceivable topic under the sun. Be able to recite your favorite poem in its entirety. Know yourself inside out.Be able to talk about your favorite book/movie/song, etc when asked.Love music. Music soothes every tired nerve you have. It feels like two hands are actually massaging your tired shoulders and feet after a full day of work. Read , read and read. It enriches your vocabulary , nurtures your imagination and adds significant lines in your life which you can share with others.Choose your friends wisely. They will always be the major influences in your life. Definitely you cannot choose your family whom we consider as the foundation of our character and attitude but you can choose the people whom you will be hanging around with and positively stain your independent life.Stretch out your muscles. Lying on the bed makes you think of more troubles in life and eventually you will realize that your stomach is much bigger than your breast/chest size. Believe me. Been there :-) heheeDream of having a child of your own and when you reach that point, remember that your life is supposed to be shared with people directly related to you and not only to those you met out in the street. Teach your child the lessons that you learned in your younger years.Get rid of envious feelings. Be happy for others' happiness. Stop talking like you are the most righteous person in the world. If you do, it just means that you are the most rotten one. Stop being fake. Learn how to let others be happy of what they are doing. Besides , its not your life. And even yours, is not really yours..remember? Accept failure. Accept that you do not know everything all the time and you have felt every emotion in this world. Stop talking like you are the most experienced person on earth. Love. Love the person who makes your whole day complete and not just your night. Know how to make sacrifices for you to prove it. Marry the person whom you can really have a good conversation with. Pray with thanksgiving as the main concern for talking to the Lord. Don’t pray because you just want something to happen. Most people pray because they want to get something or they are just paying for sins they committed in the past. They pray because they feel sorry for themselves that they do not have any choice but to depend on the Divine grace. Pray because you want to thank Him of all the things that He gave you.Work hard but remember to play hard as well. Being so serious with life means ending it....
