reasons..

All Soul's Day

"how much are you giving?" my dad asked just now as i was driving..

"how much you need?"

"welll.. they are those whom are 'kafir' and no one to pray for them..."

it got me into thinking.. are there more out there that we may have forgotten along the way..?

anyway.. just for all souls day.. im praying for all the souls whom were not given the chance to even live.

Heavenly Father,

Your love is eternal.

In Your ocean of love You saved the world through Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

Now look at Your Son on the Cross who is constantly bleeding for love of His people and forgive Your world. Purify and baptize aborted children with the Precious Blood and Water from the Sacred Side of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who hung dead on the Cross for their salvation in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

May they, through the Holy Death of Jesus Christ, gain everlasting life, through His wounds be healed and through His Precious Blood be freed; there to rejoice with the Saints in Heaven.

Amen.

"...Through this prayer large numbers of innocent unborn babies will be saved, pray it daily and make it known to the world. Baptize them with this prayer..."

"Someone once told,
there's nothing wrong with fairy tales.
Everyone ends up happily ever after in the end."



"Imagine a future moment in your life
where all your dreams come true.
You know, it's the greatest moment of your life
and you get to experience it with one person.
Who's standing next to you?"


"Pretty please with me on top..."


"People are going to disappoint you,
I get that, I kind of expect that.
but, what happens if one day
you wake-up and realize
you are the disappointment?"


"Sometime when you care about someone alot
you just know you will make some kind of mistake
and you end up losing
the person you care the most about
but if you are lucky
you might get a second chance."


"... and so I wish for patience and grace and strength
to just let him be happy.

And mostly I pray for the strength
to not make his life worse because of what I want.
Thats the toughest part, letting go, you know?
That's the part of grace that really sucks."



Yes, there are things about my life that I would miss,
but I'd miss you more"

When you're drowning....

you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,'

You. Just. Scream.

p.s. im screaming now.

short prayer.

My Lord God,
through whom strength is made perfect in weakness,
I pray to you, give me the strength I need.

You have said,
that to your children who have no might,
you will increase strength.

I am weak.

Bless me with a measure of strength,
as may be sufficient for me.

When I am tempted by evil - deliver me,
by granting me the power to overcome it.

When my daily work is too hard for me,
give me the strength to be able to do it.

If my burden oppresses me beyond my bearing,
lighten my load,
that my strength may be equal to it.

You have helped many,
I beg You to help me.

Thank you my Lord

new beginning?

ok.. got this from my astrology email i received from that astrology website thingy from time to time.. the new moon apparently started on 14th.. but in the dictionary of eSKay.. stuff doesnt happen overnight... so.. the reading should still be applicable for the next few days..

heee..

anyway.. here goes..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Wednesday April 14, there is a new Moon in Aries - the most vibrant and inspirational of all new Moons of the year. New Moons happen when the Sun and Moon fall in the same place celestially and are always about new beginnings.

It is a time when it is vital to get your head (Sun) and your heart (Moon) -- together.

This is the only way you can get wholeheartedly behind whatever emotional changes or projects take root at this time.

New Moons are only slivers of light in the sky, so this will not be a spectacular even by any chance. But this is the time to sow the seeds, nurture them carefully and watch them grow. You need a vision -- which is the idea; you need a plan -- which is the realistic way of moving towards your cherished goal.

Then you need patience -- which isn't the same as doing nothing -- it is all about helping along what you want to happen.

This is one of the most opportune times to your chance to push ahead with plans and projects that are most important to you personally, and not become distracted by those close at hand or what may be happening in the world.

Since this particular Aries New Moon is in easy aspect to Neptune, being creative or being spiritual will be all the more important. Listen to that inner voice, and you will know which dream is being awakened from its slumbers.

And remember the old saying: 'The dreamers of the day act with their eyes open and make it happen.' This Aries New Moon falls widely square (90 degrees) to this year's Solar Eclipses so you may feel you are going against the grain.

The only thing that is important is that it feels right for you!

oooohh... i love!!

what to do? what to do??

hmmm... suddenly busy ni..

Lucas Scott: Anyways, I don't get why you're so upset.

Brooke: You're kidding, right?

Lucas Scott: You're the one who wanted to be non-exclusive. I'm just doing what you wanted.

Brooke: What I wanted? I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to say that there was no-one else you could ever be with and that you'd rather be alone then without me. I wanted the Lucas Scott from the beach telling the world that he's the one for me!

Lucas Scott: How was I supposed to know that?

Brooke: You just are.

*sigh* : sk

a thought...

"... it's like pulling a bandage off a cut. if you do it slowly to avoid the pain, it hurts more than if you just give it a good pull, and it's done."

just do the bandage thingy : s
putting more bandages on u. not taking it out : d

if only.

Dear God...

By Avenged Sevenfold

A lonely road - crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
- purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you is
- to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again
- oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
- and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories
- will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God,
the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again
- oh no
Once again

Some search - never finding a way
Before long - they waste away
I found you - something told me to stay
I gave in - to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...

A lonely road - crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love
- purpose hard to find

Dear God,
the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,
- when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again
- oh no
Once again

"Think big thoughts,
but relish small pleasures. "

Hand of Hope

"The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life."


When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

there's always hope...

reflection sh*t

"the past is like an old pair of shoes.
once its worn out,
it has to be thrown out.

when it no longer serves any purpose
- it has to be disposed of."

saw this 'reflection' in one of my friend's note in FB.

and the mere fact that the note is posted - even if it has nothing to do with me whatsoever - though one can never be quite sure on what is or is not real anymore - really define who this person is way way deep inside. what this person's soul is made of.

maybe i read it wrongly in my head.
i dunno. maybe its monday.

but really people.. and YOU - whoever you are.. how can a past reduced to just a 'service' for a purpose ? no matter how bad or how good it was - to know that it was only a service for a purpose totally degrade memories for memories' sake..

we are all everybody's past. if we are only a 'service' to serve whatever purpose there is - that is totally giving friendship a whole new meaning. and its not in a good way.

i respect people's opinion - or whatever reflection shit they come up with. I may not have to agree with it. and most time, i take it in without judgment.

but this one.. OMG.. i cant help but judge the person who wrote it and believing the truth in it..

you think you know someone???
- you have no idea.

xoxo

when u think

... someone is just taking advantage of you

- that's because they really are.

when u think
... something is just too good to be true
- that's because it really is.

mousetrap..

looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

"What food might this contain? " wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a....
Retreating to the farmyard, proclaimed the warning:
There is a in !!!! There is a in !!!!

clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."



turned to and told him, "There is a in !!!! There is a in !!!!"

sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."




turned to and said "There is a in !!!! There is a in !!!!"

said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."



So, returned to , head down and dejected, to face the farmer's alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout -- like the sound of a catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.

In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous whose tail the trap had caught. bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital , and she returned with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered .
The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her, the farmer had slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life.

We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

REMEMBER... EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend

- and of course your family.

Happy Easter

something to think about..

A day without sunshine is like, night.



On the other hand,
you have different fingers.

42.7 percent of all statistics are made up.
on the spot.

Clones are people two.


I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.



Honk if you love peace and quiet.

Depression is merely anger.
without enthusiasm.

The early bird may get the worm,
but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.



Change is inevitable,
except from vending machines.



Always try to be modest,
and be proud of it!



If you think nobody cares,
try missing a couple of payments.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?



How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

If everything seems to be going well,
you have obviously overlooked something.



When everything is coming your way,
you're in the wrong lane.



Hard work pays off in the future.
Laziness pays off now.



If you can't be kind,
at least have the decency to be vague.

Why do they sterilize needles
- for lethal injections?



Everyone has a photographic memory.
Some just don't have film.


What happens if you get scared half to death
- twice?

I couldn't repair your brakes,
so I made your horn louder.

Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?



Inside every older person is a younger person
- wondering what the hell happened.

Tomorrow..

Just thinkin' about
- tomorrow -
Clears away the cobwebs
and the sorrow
'til there's none!

When I'm stuck with a day
that's gray,
and lonely,
I just stick out my chin
and grin,
and say,
Oh!

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're only
- a day
- away!

Yesterday Once More

I remember a place - a town
... a house like a lot of houses
... a yard like a lot of other yards
... on a street like a lot of other streets

And the thing is...
after all these years
I still look back
with wonder.

There was a time when the world was enormous...
The place where you grew up.
Where you didn't think twice
...about playing on someone else's lawn.
And the street was your territory
- that occasionally got invaded by a passing car.

It was where you didn't get called home
... until after it was dark.
And all the people and all the houses
that surrounded you
were as familiar as the things in your own room.
And you knew they would never change.
