I Want To Date A Girl Who

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

            Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

            She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

            Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

            It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

            Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

            Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

            Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries.

            If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

            You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

            Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

Are you thankful to God?

"I am eternally grateful for all the wonderful things God has given me and shown me - not material things but life, friends, family, insight into my life, and the ability to love and be loved. The list is endless! He is truly the greatest and He is truly the way to all that is good!"

Never loose sight of the bigger picture: Every thing happens for a reason.

Even if things are at a

standstill the earth is still rotating and you are still breathing. Baby steps are better than no steps at all. In your meditation think of goals you want to accomplish and write them down. By acknowledging what you want, and how you are going to pursue it, it is already manifesting because you have put it in the universe. Stay positive: This is easier said than done, but your optimism will go a long way. It is our attitude that determines the outcome in any situation.

"I thank God for the morning when I wake up and see the bright shining sun. I thank the Lord when I see the moon and stars shine brightly in the sky at night. I thank the Lord for peaceful sleep at night, when I'm not awakened. I thank the Lord for the food that my mother prepares every day. I thank the Lord for His love towards me, for never letting me down, always forgiving me, never giving up on me. I thank the Lord for coming into my life, saving me from death… I thank Him for everything…"

“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord…” (Psalm 92:1)

Thank You By Katinas

Just a little while longer I wanna pray

Can't get You off my mind so I came to say

Thank You Lord, just for loving me, alright

Many times I do forget

Every need that You have met

Oh thank You Lord, I know You're showing me

You are there when I am down and out

You're holding me, Your love is so amazing

Oh it changed me

CHORUS

Here I am with all I have

Raise my hands to worship You

I wanna say thank you, oh thank you

For everything, for who You are

You cover me, You touch my heart

I wanna say thank you

I could have died in my sin but You saved me

Didn't have any hope at all

You gave me peace divine, strength to carry on

I should have been the one to pay

But instead You took my place

Amazing grace, it's more than just a song

Even though I don't deserve Your love for me

You look beyond my fault and You showed me mercy

CHORUS

I wanna say thank you for the sun

Lord we thank you for the rain

Thank you for the love You gave

My Body Isn't Perfect..

Happy Valentines...

Love is patient...
Love is kind...
It does not envy...
It does not boast...
It is not proud...
It is not rude...
It is not self-seeking...
It is not easily angered...
It keeps no record of wrongs...
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth...
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...
Love never fails...
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love...

heavy load!!!!

.....one afternoon while i was reading a book entitled " the God of the Second chance by Greg Laurie, I received a text message a text message that made me realized so many things in my past experiences, how i fail, how i stumble, how i lose, how i quit, even on how I surrender my aspirations in life. This text message moved me in a way that I cannot imagine.


The young man was at the end of his rope.Seeing way no out, he dropped to his knees in prayer.

"Lord , I can't go on "he said." I have too heavy a cross to bear.

......"The Lord replied, "My son, if you can't bear it's weight, just place you cross inside this room. Then open another door and pick any cross you wish.

"The man was filled with relief. "Thank you Lord," he sighed, and did as he was told. As he looked around the room he saw many different crosses: some so large the tops were not visible.

.......Then he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one, Lord," he whispered.

And the Lord replied. "My son, that's the cross you brought in."

nurse on duty 1!!!

I realized that being a nurse is incomparable... As we care for our patients, I learn how to cover my sorrow with smile. I learn how to stay vigorous despite of all the tasks that I endure. I learn how to give hope eventhou mine are unclearly seen. I learn how to give strength even at times I am the one who are weak. Nobody would know what kind of a life nurse has...Unless he/she becomes one.

Happy New Year guys!!!

Footprints in the Sand..

.....we have some problems in our lives, maybe you read somewhere along the way that Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us, but if we look back in life, sometimes in the lowest point in our life we almost see one footprints in the sand.

Do you have days where you feel lonely, un-loved, and not wanted? We all experience days like that, don't we? When I'm feeling down and lonely, I always turn to God in prayer.

God has recently carried me through one of the toughest times in my life so far and this poem reminds me of His eternal and unending love for me, for us all, and especially for the sinner and the one who turns his back on the Lord

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints,
so I said to the Lord,

“You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied,
“The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”


.....Very touching. My brothers and sisters when you could no longer carry yourself the Lord will carry you.
.....God is always with you and gets you through the rough times. You may feel alone during those times but you never are.
.....Never give up on Jesus like he never gave up on you.

FREE HUGS!!!

As i was lying on my bed last night, i remember what i had watched on Ophra a year ago if im not mistaken. A FREE HUG episode, there is a young man named JUAN MANN from Australia, this man is telling and discussing about what FREE HUGS is all about. As i was listening his story/adventure regarding his experience i was amazed by his positive outlook in life. After telling his story there was a video clip regarding his FREE HUGS.

*** lower down the volume of my background music first, to listen the background music of FREEHUGS video. ENJOY watching. It really moves my heart seriously.

Its amazing how just one person with one sign can impact so many. This is wonderful !! Everyone needs a hug. Black, white, asian, latino, native etc. we need to be one. We are all God's creation.


Sometimes, a hug is all that we need. Free Hugs is the real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger put a smile on their face.

In this age of social-disconnection most all of us lack that simple human touch from another, the effects of the Free Hugs Campaign are now felt around the globe.

As this simple gesture of kindness and hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered
the Free Hugs Campaign BANNED. What we then witnessed was the true spirit of humanity as people came together in what can only be described as something awe inspiring.

In the spirit of the Free Hugs Campaign please pass this video to a friend and HUG a stranger! After all, you CAN make a difference.

How it all started:

Juan Mann – The Origin of Free Hugs. I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.

Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.

So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.

And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.

Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every

And now FREE HUGS campaign is all over the world like ASIA, EUROPE, North/South America etc.

Is there anyone who started FREE HUGS in the Philippines? if somebody already started it i want a FREE HUGS and i will join with him/her on their campaign. I want to start FREE HUGS here in the Philippines how i wish so.
