Things Are Not Always What They Seem

>> Monday, November 3, 2008

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.

When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.

After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.

Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?

The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.

The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.

"When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.

Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."

"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.

"Things aren't always what they seem."

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later...

Some people
come into our lives
and quickly go
Some people
become friends
and stay awhile
leaving beautiful
footprints on our
hearts
and we are
never
quite the same
because we have made a good
friend!!

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
I think this is special...live and savor every moment...
This is not a dress rehearsal!


TAKE THIS LITTLE ANGEL
AND KEEP HER CLOSE TO YOU
SHE IS YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL
SENT TO WATCH OVER YOU....

Weird Things About Me

>> Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Got this tag from Emz .. Thanks!

Rules are rules. To tag along: you have to list 7 weird things about yourself, post it in your blog, tag at least 7 people (list their names), and comment on their blog to let them know that you just tagged them.

Here are my list:

1. Love coffee. My routine: coffee in the morning after waking up, coffee in the afternoon around 3 to 4pm, and coffee at midnight around 12midnight to 1am before reclining to bed..
2. In rare cases, just for fun, I mix 1 bottle of rhum or brandy (e.g. Emperador) with 1 liter of chocolate cold milk (like chocolait or selecta), then mix it with coffee…hmm it tastes like cappuccino-baileys drink..
3. My height is average so I’m fond of wearing shoes or sandals with heels, including slippers.
4. Occasionally, I put egg white or beer to my hair, just like a spray net, for stronger hold.
5. I put my whitening facial cream in to my underarm.
6. I like to be an instant millionaire by winning lotto, but I don’t buy/bet lotto or sweepstakes.
7. I love to eat pomelo dipped in rock salt.

Would love to hear about your weird things: jacky, chelle, xiaopei, LauriLiaw, claire, AnnaRhea, iceah..

Mama's special day

Today, 17th October, is my mother's birthday. I just reminisce the good and bad times we spent together all through this time, and oh, it's quite meaningful.
Although we don't see our mother personally, since we're miles away, we still celebrate her birthday the usual filipino way, ie., we prepared cake (blown by my nieces in the absence of my mother), pancit, adobo, suman, nilagang karneng baboy, etc. A phone call from our mother completes the celebration.
For our dear Mama, happy birthday! Wish you good health, sound heart and mind and bountiful blessings... GodBless.

A good spot to spend a holiday

>> Friday, October 17, 2008

Panama, a republic in Central America. The Panama City was founded in 1519 by Spaniards. It is the capital and largest city and is situated on the Pacific coast in the central zone. The population is of mixed Spanish, black, and Native American descent, but includes indigenous people and immigrants from various parts of the world. About 70% of Panamanians are mestizos – people of mixed European and Native American descent, or mulattoes – those of European and African heritage.

Spanish is the official language of Panama. This is spoken by all but a few Native Americans. Part of the population, about a quarter speaks English – the language of the West Indian minority and the international business community.

70% of Panamanians are Catholic and Protestant account for 12% of the people. Religious faith and practice does not create conflict in Panama, instead, it guarantees freedom of worship.

The biggest festivities in Panama occur at Christmas. Other important holidays include independence day November 3 and Firemen’s Day of May 5. When it comes to food, the typical meals include sancocho – this is a chicken soup with native cereals and tubers, tamales – made with mashed corn, plantains, and native fruits. Their meals also include rice, beans, boiled meat, potatoes, and fried bananas.

Hotel-view01-old

Looking back the history - the people, the language, religion, and way Panamanians celebrate holidays, is great. There are still a lot of things to discover about Panama. Hence, this is the reason why it good to spend a holiday in Panama to unveil its rich culture and heritage. There are also a lot of attractions such as the Panama Canal, Islands and Beaches, Historical sites, and many more. For one who is interested in sports and other leisure activities, you may engage to diving and snorkeling or rafting and tubing just to name a few.

Staying or settling in Panama is not a problem. The restored Hotel Casco Antiguo is a fine place to stay while in Panama. The Hotel Casco Antiguo is the city’s oldest operating hotel. It has authentic Andalusian details, a full modern amenities, and prime location at the heart of UNESCO World Heritage site.

Hotel Casco Antiguo is a 5-Star condominium-hotel. It has 34 rooms with in-house concierge services. Said condo-hotel is seemly famous to invest nowadays.

One Coin

>> Wednesday, October 15, 2008

I was reading the Bible and I got struck by this bible story. It’s from Luke 15, verses 8-10. The title of the story is One Coin, and it says: ““Jesus told the people another story: What will a woman do if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them? Won’t she light a lamp, sweep the floor, and look carefully until she finds it? Then she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, “Let’s celebrate! I’ve found the coin I lost.” Jesus said, “In the same way God’s angels are happy when even one person turns to him.””

The meaning of the above story is very clear. God will be happy if one of His wicked children will turn back to him. Just like in our individual family, our parents will be very happy if their children or one of their children will return if lost. Most of the time, the family will welcome the long lost family member with a party to be participated by friends, relatives and other guests..
