About Me


My Hero doing what his ♥ loves best-Graduation Ceremony Jan 11th-2008
..


♥ Welcome to my tiny corner of the myspace world. First off, why the term, samesmallboat you might ask, well, it is just one of those glitches in speech I seem to have acquired . I wouldn’t call it being speech illiterate and or verbally challenged but rather a “gift” as it were, it provides quite numerous bouts of laughter, especially around family and friends. That cute lil' monkey is a replica of me when I was younger, always lived my life climbing trees and eating exotic fruits. I fished non stop daily, and enjoyed being one with nature. Mei mei was my nickname, it supposedly means little sister. If ever there was a perfect candidate for tomboy of the year I'd easily have won :) ♥
♥ There was no television where I spent most of my younger teen years so my mind didn't get influenced easily. But that in itself had its drawbacks, because I was real naive and innocent for so long and that often with having such a trusting heart brought alot of grief. Little did I know since my dad was so loving, that alot of men were not made in his image. I thought I'd find true love, my prince charming, marry, live happily with raising a family in a nice home , white picket fence,...the all true american dream. Well, that wasn't the case for a long long time. ♥
♥ If I can bring people to laugh at my expense then it’s a good thing not a curse . As long as no one’s hurt it’s all that matters most to me. I’ve been around the world and back in 80 days seems to fit my life’s profile. I went through many obstacles to get to present time. ♥
♥ There are many things I’d like to have done differently, but who doesn’t. If I knew back then that it wouldn’t get me what I have today, I doubt I’d change a thing, including the pains and sorrows, but mostly the beautiful caring children and the dear friendship and company of my ex named gary who nurtured the kids at their most important stages of childhood years. Today we yet remain best friends and we still mingle for birthdays, family occasions and such. ♥
♥ By that I mean, one doesn’t have to be the natural parent to be a parent, it lies mostly in how they listen, care and provide, for someone, to me, “parent” is but a terminology, a true parent is one who’s devoted in all aspects of being there, raising and scooping up the pieces when shit hits the fan. And we all know we’ve been there before.:) ♥
♥ My father through his life long ministry and devotion to god and helping others in need, gave unselfishly of worldly possessions and his entire life to different cultures, especially the Iban tribe. He is my undying hero and inspiration through life. I’d like to say and hope that if nothing else, I learned compassion and forgiveness as a child, and often I find myself reaping in more pain and disappointment then I’d ever imagine. People tend to walk all over someone who is giving and kind and we often get taken for granted. ♥
♥ One important thing life taught me was that monetary value holds no purpose in making one’s life happiest, it helps ease the daily burdens of “bills” which resides with us till we die. Sure, its great to travel and see this vast world, and if you can by all means do so. I traveled quite a few places growing up, it brought into perspective the different cultures, their morals and values, and showed me that everyone has their own beliefs. But it doesn’t change the fact we’re all still “humans” with the same anatomy, of male or female gender with just multitudes of different skin and hair tones, and traits.♥
♥ Then there’s the richest to rags bracket. We fall in different catergories. Some remain pretty solid some fluctuate back and forth and some remain struggling all their life. Can’t honestly say I know what it’s like being a millionaire or billionaire. But I can certainly tell you what I’d love to do if I was. I would use a lot of it to benefit those less fortunate then myself. ♥
♥ I couldn’t sleep well at night I don’t think if I were super rich, and didn’t share my fortune with others. But I’d choose wisely the way I’d approach the areas I see deemed most for help. Heavy weighs the chest of someone who cares deeply about people but yet isn’t able to make huge impact on others, but even then little things that costs nothing but of one’s own time and actions not just words can turn things around for someone else. I’d like to think some where along life’s way if even a miniscule impact, if it helped that particular time, it was worth more to me then anything in the world. ♥
♥ For all those who have cried a million tears, you’re not alone. For the tears I’ve shed throughout life have been vast enough to fill a river. For those who have experienced a bitter divorce, my heart feels your pain, I’ve not been spared that either but it opened my eyes to read through the fine lines and find positives for giving me the strength to try and be an even better mom for my kids. ♥
♥ Those were some real life testing, struggling with identity, blood and tear stained years. But I’ll proudly say, we sailed through those dark clouds together, key word, being, together. It makes for a stronger, wiser and more caring individual to have actually experienced something as trying as that in life. Only then can one truly relate and appreciate the things most can’t comprehend or accept. The only difference is we had no choice, but we learn a valuable lesson, one we don’t learn through school.♥
♥ Those who suffer at the mercy of an injury whether temporary or prolonged and debilitating, my heart and thoughts are with you. If you suffer at the gavel of daily doses of pain, hard it is to keep one’s spirits afloat and happy. Your mind, your heart and your very soul yearn to remember what it was like before that occurred. ♥
♥ I've learned there is two types of handicaps. One is visible and one is invisible. By this I mean, one does not have to be wheel chair bound or missing a limb or a vegetable to be the only one labelled as handicap. The invisible I call it is also very real whether it be mentally, emotional, or simply internal based naked to human eyes. They both carry thier share of pain and prohibits many people from normal daily living functions. This makes me realize and appreciate just how many people suffer some form of challenge daily. ♥
♥ For some, the severity isn't too delibitating and for some it is so severe they could'nt possibly function without support from medical teams. You wake up every day wondering how you will continue yet another day. You fight back bouts of tears and hide well the fears that haunt you; fears of the unknown for which you don’t always have answers to. For some they become so filled with anguish in their quest for relief that they long for death to rescue them. That is when you hope your loved ones are spared either of the above, yet if they should happen to, your love and support is needed even more then ever before. ♥
♥ I seriously doubt anyone wishes illness or pain on themselves at any given time, well, with exception of the “poor me”, martyr syndrome, for attention. That’s just a cry for help. Or at best someone feeling sorry for themselves during an argument or being bored and lonely at the spur of the moment looking for attention. When I talk about real bodily pain, you know who you truly are, what that’s like. ♥
♥ Nobody, not even a doctor in his wildest dreams could conceive, what that’s like, but only you, yourself, know your own body, what it’s going through. The only people who can semi relate are those in the same predicament, again, as I said, life is a book on daily lessons, of which some are spared, where as others are tested regularly. ♥
♥ Injured, sick people are no different then us. Pain brings out the fire breathing dragon sometimes from people. All those of us who suffer one ailment or another are just living testimony of strength and faith. Again, another way to look at the positive not negative aspect of things. ♥
♥ No teachers or guidance counselors are able to totally grasp all of what life tosses into their court, but we each take these lessons life has spurned on us and we have to find the answers within ourselves. They serve as a helper but the puzzles and riddles are our own to solve. ♥
♥ When I speak of all those things mentioned it is just a testimony on my own life adventures and whatever curves I had to dodge or face straight on. I may not have made some of the best choices often in life but without errors, I would be saintly and there isn’t anyone worthy of being bestowed that title on earth that I find to be completely taint free, with exception of Jesus and God himself. ♥
♥ The greatest achievement I have conquered in life is learning to be true to myself and accepting whatever comes my way and using my past experiences to better myself. I will have to end this on a good note, and that is that my family are my most cherished earthly possessions and my few true friends are my loyal companions. ♥
♥ The last few years have been blessed with the presence of my fiancée who truly loves and accepts me for who I am and what I’ve been through. Not just the past but present. It may have taken almost a lifetime after a few bad painful relationships often doused with abuse mentally and physically to realize, you can’t abandon your dreams and goals. ♥
♥ You can’t help but become dormant in your own little shell, encased in stone when you get hurt, and scared, but who you are, isn’t lost. Let go of the bad in your past and look forward to the future. Let memory serve as your dictionary. It will be there as a reference but you can close the book. ♥
♥ Don’t let life dictate your destination but rather, be proud of who you are, what you endured in life thus far. Don't ever cut yourself short, you're special and unique and one of a kind. Don't let anyone say you're not worthy, you are. If they choose not to like or love you, it's thier loss, not yours. Should you fall, you'll bounce back in time, with patience. If you can forgive, which many find impossible to do, you're much better then most and you don't carry the weight of anger , jealousy or hatred. Be steadfast in your beliefs and yet gentle and compassionate to those in need. One doesn’t have to have a clean perfected slate to be considered good. ♥
♥ Goodness is implemented into your daily life when you make the best and most of what you have. It’s your choice to make. I struggled through life but I chose to not self destruct but rather to keep my dreams alive. ♥
♥ I will continue to chase rainbows for that pot of gold and even share some with the little leprechaun.:) If I happen to fly through the skies, upon finding it, at rainbows end, along with the end of rain for that day, I shall sprinkle gold from the clouds in hopes it lands into the hands of those who need it most. ♥
♥ Till then, I wish all the best to each and everyone out there. Keep your dreams alive, for they aren’t that far fetched, but only if you truly have faith, only will you find the real meaning of life and true love . ♥

My Interests


Man's Best Friend - My Baby and his loyal companion

..
This is My Hero-My Baby

My interests vary, there are quite a few, they range from my love for cooking to going out to a good movie and or dinner. For the most part I enjoy just about anything.
I do love fishing and crabbing. Travelling as well, although nowadays one has to ponder the situations surrounding the world and choose wisely.
Painting was always a great love of mine but sadly they tend to run pretty expensive to furbish an artist's lifestyle :)
Love outdoors, especially gardening and growing my own crops BUT I will admit I don't care for weeding and such as much lol. Ok, so I'm lazy what can I say hehe.
My family says I am a pretty good chef, who knows, god willing I may just open up my own catering business someday.
I love singing for fun, and you could call me a karaoke junkie, thanks to a old past friend who got me addicted , I bought some real nice equiptment and have over 4000 songs, enough to throw quite a bang of a party :) Just wished we were all lucky to be talented enough to make the kind of mula the famous singers do, that would be awesome, I could then have made my ultimate dream come true, which would have been, helping alot of the poverty and sickness that lingers still daily.
Other then that really there isn't too much I probably haven't already done or tried at least once in my lifetime and I am pretty easy going and open to just about anything except for violence and crimes :)

I'd like to meet:

Johnny Depp Rocks !!!

Life is beautiful when you can share your own personal experiences and only wish the best for those whom you meet.

Being a kid at heart is the secret to the fountain of youth and that is not a secret it's the truth ♥

♥ I'm far from perfection but I do not like alot of things either &hearts For eg, don't bother telling me anything if you can't just be blunt and tell the truth &hearts I may not like it but in the end at least I'll respect you for it, rather then resent you ♥ Being hurt sucks ♥ Can't stand abusers, there's no excuse for that ♥ Cheater's if you are planning to, at least be man enough to wait till you're divorced or single ♥ Judgemental and prejudiced people ♥ I will make my own impressions of a person ♥ People who look down on others ♥ Milk (yuck-LOL) Controlling people ♥ Pain &hearts PMS ♥ Liars period ♥ Taken advantage of though it's never stopped me still from caring or helping others &hearts Disrespectful people &hearts Sarcasm ♥

Music:

There's always something so serene and beautiful about piano's. Sometimes I wished I'd never quit playing after seven years of lessons when I was younger. :)
I love pretty much all types. I grew up on oldies, and always will love that time and era and also love easy listening music, blues, raeggae. But Marvin Gaye was definately one of my ultimate favorite singers, still miss him to this day. :(
I also love some country and celtic, including just landscape type music for relaxation. To sum it all up I have to say there isn't too much in music I don't love.

Movies:

Theres way too many movies to list, but a few offhand are Forrest Gump, Saving private Ryan, Lord of the Rings ( all of em). Braveheart. Pirates of the Carribean. The dead mans chest was awesome, saw it today, 13th of July. Superman returns was also great.

Television:

Don't really watch TV too much lately, but family guy and american dad and rescue me when season premiere starts. I normally enjoy educational channels like the history or geographic channels and some medical stuff too.

Books:

CRY OF FRIENDSHIP
Why do you hurt my friend, even though I say I'm true to the end? I promised you a rose, yet from you a thorn I'm given. Why is it you and I have shared not only simple things but even some of my darkest secrets, I've kept my end as promised but your words strike at my very heart and soul, did you think for one second I was impenetrable and cold?
I handed you my hand and heart and vowed to care and when I soon needed your help, you had no clue? Why is it so hard for you to trust, when I say "trust me"? Have you been betrayed too many times before? It 's an injustice to categorize me with those others? I 'm "me", I'm different, I 'm not like the others. Dare you take the chance and gamble on my friendship? Do I need to "prove" my worthiness and "loyalty"? Am I at all worth it?
Will you come running at my beck and call or only when you need something from me? May I trust you with my best girl or boy friend or my loving spouse? Or will my home be empty and my life ruined overnight? Is it true the grass is greener on the other side and pray tell me what happens next when the grazings over and the roles reversed? Will I or shall I take you back?
The questions are bountiful and the consequences are overwhelming at times, but are you willing to sacrifice all this over friendship? Perhaps you have thought this through enough times and have said to yourself ... "friends" are easily replaced right? Sure, but throughout lifes ups and downs... everyone needs friends and we only tread this earth once.
We know not what tomorrow brings and if we were to "die" or "be dying", would someone want to be missed and remembered of fondly or be forgotten and lost like a tumble weed it remains up to each and everyone of us. So, I say to you "My Friend", "I love and care deeply what happens to you". I profess to stand beside you in everything you do and won't turn my back upon you even in your darkest hour. I want to be the "best" friend you'll ever need and reach my hand out to you at all times. I love you for who you are and what you stand for.

Your love is... by ChibiMarronchan
Your name is...
Your kiss is... erotic
Your hugs are... to die for
Your eyes... light up a day
Your touch is... the only thing I desire
Your smell is... amazing
Your smile is... amazing
Your love is... unique

Heroes:


God (but then he isn't a hero in my eyes he is invincible) thus the name God :)But nonetheless I owe it all to him for having made it this far in life.
Firstly my Dad, he was most heroic when he dedicated his whole life to helping others in a foreign land and turning around the lives of many he touched. He was and always will be my inspiration and hero.
Also myself, I see myself as a hero for having over come the hurdles in my life, and there certainly was plenty. I can speak for those who have been through similar events that put them through the test of how we are driven to be stronger in soul, mind and body, in turn which makes one much more driven to conquer whatever befalls us so we become survivors and tend not to take as much forgranted.
We learn first hand greater respect and admiration for those who are battling similar trials through thier own lives.
Experience first hand is the best teacher of any known book or advice anyone could offer. That is why most times, the old cliche " They have to learn the hard way I guess " hehe. That is why experience is a gain factor in life till the day we die. What we choose to do with the experiences is up to us.
I admire most any military, firefighters, police force, EMT's and any profession and or person who lays thier life on the line or helps either via charity or of thier own self, to help others, true hero's for they are what makes this world a safer and better place to live in.
Last but not least my family are my heroes. We jumped alot of obstacles life threw at us growing up, but we emerged victorious and everyone of them are a blessing and I wouldn't trade any of my family for anything in the world :)
Ending on a heroic note, Superman !!!!

My poem on "Love Is"

Love is a splendid thing indeed. Love is spoken in so many languages. Love is shown through so many ways. Love will reign within us from day to day. Love is beyond words ever imaginable. Love is strong yet soft to the touch we give or receive.
Love is like soft wings or queasy butterflies; That sometimes fill our good old tummies. Love if given freely is often returned graciously. Love knows no boundaries or expectations. Love is a four letter word but huge without limitations. Love is enduring between lovers families and friends. Love is not boastful or greedy nor jealous.
Love is treated with respect and cares not for rebellion. Love is neither here nor there or up or down. Love is just simply everywhere anyone can be found. Love is a teacher of communicating with another being. Love is made up of either gender whether young or old. Love is something we thrive upon learning and yearning for. Love is memories of loved ones long gone. Love is not temporary but an on going legacy. Love is comforting and caring for one another. Love is often misused and replaced with abuse yet. Love is by far the winner in the long run. Love is patient and understanding.
Love is felt through a kiss or even a handshake. Love is hugs so warm so good dont you want more?. Love is one great deed after another never thinking of oneself. Love is anything you want it to be to any degree. Love is comprised of all good things within ones soul. Love is with us even until we grow old. Love is universal but bears no disease. Love is catching and all more worth sharing. Love is like a dove in flight. Love spreads its wings and soars ever so high; Love just is and we often dont even know the reasons why.
Love is maker of miracles including life. Love is sacred between two lovers. Love is a blessing between friends. Love is a "Gift" not an item or merchandise on layaway. Love is not from a can but has eternal shelf life. Love is priceless and yet holds no monetary value. Love is truth and hope and charity. Love is having faith and believeing.
Love is sweet dreamful nights of romance and princess's and knights. Love is peace and love knows no wars. Love is not pretentious but genuine. Love is so sweet we want it all the time. Love is fine oh yes so fine. Love is grandeur in all its glory. Love is ones heart and soul and body. Love is to not lust nor sin. Love is for so many a brand new beginning . Love is endless like time in which you seek and you shall find.
Love is a healer of many sorrows and wounds; Love is a saver of even those whom are doomed. Love cant be swept away like dirt from a broom. Love is a ritual of vows between both a bride and her groom. Love repairs and mends a broken hearted. Love is a protector of ones we love. Love is tight knit like a garden glove. Love is heavenly and was sent from above.
Love is made for giving and sharing. Love is laughing and crying all over again. Love has been with us from the beginning. Love is so full of meaning and appealing. Love is forever and ever but never ending thing. Love is also as having been known to be blind. Love is like a family unity that binds. Love is overall a worldly friendship ring. Love is freedom let the bells bring on their chimes. LOVE is indeed take heed a GODLY given thing.
