I can't help it!

Gomenasai...yeah I mean am sorry for posting a lot of videos nowadays. Told myself not to since I don't really consider this as blogging. But when I was doing another post I came across with this song which is really one of my favorite, and I like Jordin Sparks too...so here goes.

Walk it like you talk it . . .


It is quite easier said than done to most but if one really talk the talk...and walk the walk, he'd do what he'd preach. Some tend to find fault and give their unsolicited two-cents worth without even thinking ..."would I hurt this person if I say my views or let's say...rather...am I a better person than her when in fact I've done more slip ups having gone on a #2# relationship"...so how could she be on the right position to tell me this and that is better. We all need some respect, am I right here? [am sorry but I have no intention to indict anyone, so I tend to bowdlerize some texts which may appear kinda intrusive]
My maxim, is to always be just a positive listener once any one I knew whether a friend or just a mere acquaintance would come to me to confide something or maybe wanting to unload something dangling on his neck. But if she'd ask me my own view, I'll give her mine and I'll make a stand on that if ever I am in her position. And that is my stand, I'll make sure that she'd understand that I am not imposing her what to do. We have our own views over other matters. What is good and nice to me won't be the same to others.
Mostly motherly matters are the main topic of our discourse...a colloquy ending up to giving each other's point over the matter. One time I was a bit disgusted when one who's so opinionated as she is all the time, gave me some affront and gave me some what-to-do's...I felt off 'coz the truth is she's still single [s@#$%#$r] and how could she give me some sage advices if she's not even a mother first? Maybe you'll say I'm just too subjective, but no I'm not, rather am just being objective this time. For me, hey I am a mother so if we're talking about how, I am more sagacious than who is not. Oh dear me, I wasn't in a choleric mood but I wasn't able to maintain my tactful manner that time so I just blurted out nicely, "Be a mother first!"...lol, sometimes I have to defend my side. I always try to be very strait-laced as I can be just because I hate arguments, but when I am provoked, I couldn't let my chance to defend my side straightaway...at least in a very nice way still. Be nice and a little respect is all it got!
I might, didn't become a very good wife because my marriage ended up in separation but when it comes to being a mother I must say I am doing everything to make my role to the utmost. It would be a great failure for me as a mother if my children would rate me the lowest. So far naman, I receive their highest ratings as a mother. They always say I am the best mom. For me as long as my children are happy, I am truly happy also.
I always try to be an example to whatever I say has to be the best and what is right. I am not perfect but I try to inculcate to my children to always stay to what is right and what is good. For example, in my heydays I used to smoke but abruptly I decided to turn cold turkey when my little son then wanted to puff my cigarette, who was then 4 or 5 yo if I am not mistaken. I was like, no you can't, it's bad to puff and he said, "then why are you smoking if it's bad?!"
And it all started there.


Never again will he see me holding a cigarette...to set a good example...and if you want to be a good parent then you should walk your talk...just like I did then when I decided to quit that fault. Of course we are not perfect but at least if we try to better ourselves, we are no way but near of becoming or trying to be a good role model. At least we try... 'coz parent specially mothers [and that should be as molders] should be an apotheosis of good values and sagaciousness.

The Crab and Its Mother


A CRAB said to her son, "Why do you walk so one-sided, my child? It is far more becoming to go straight forward." The young Crab replied: "Quite true, dear Mother; and if you will show me the straight way, I will promise to walk in it." The Mother tried in vain, and submitted without remonstrance to the reproof of her child. 


Example is more powerful than precept.

Soothe everyone's eyes and mind

magnificent 


nice to have like this one
After the green roof that started in Germany many years ago, and have become popular throughout Europe, becoz as everyone knows that it is environmental friendly and it maximizes the use of space and besides it is well appreciated and very innovative when it comes to architectural designing,  not to mention the warmth it gives during winter and of course  a bit cooler during the summer heat. But well, thousand of years ago we had already the one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World...known to us as The Hanging Garden of Babylon.  With many countries adopting it to help set  the environment as one of the main goals, it looks like architectural designing bring forth the jungle to the busy city proper.



Wow, look at this one, and am proud I took this picture while I was on vacation in Japan 2011...@ Tonami Tulips Festival. I didn't let this one passed without picturing it becoz of the thick thatched roofing and I asked the caretaker then and told me that indeed this used to be green roof but since it's hard to maintain becoz of the thick snow during winter so the thatched roof instead of the green roof.

Just thought of sharing you these pictures I do treasure from my most highlighted vacations in Japan.

Happy Birthday Myspace Comments


All the BEST for you on your birthday ;D

Oh boy, am back-tracking...

This was  one of the many songs from way way back that has been one I favorited since I was barely fifteen I guess that's the time when I heard them over the radio. Yeap, at a very young age I have gotten the flair for music, but sad to say I can't sing the way it as to be a singer but I seldom get too much flats...lol.  I love the songs of Stylistics specially Betcha By Golly Wow. The soul & R&B group made a swift way to the music stream via their falsetto voices with Russel Thompkins,  Jr.  as the lead vocalist and who mostly composed their songs that became instantaneously hits.

Define forbearance...


The Greatest Spelling Bee Troll Ever - Watch More Funny Videos

I do admire the lady for being so patient ... for showing an unmatched forbearance, she is great I believe. And I do admire also the contestant for not allowing any chance to be wasted just to get the right word...but oh dear I just hope he listens fully well. The word is just as simple as HERON to become so confused.

So now?!

If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.

Get high on LIFE, not on drugs









Don’t Huff, Don’t Puff. Keep away from that stuff.


I wanna dance with somebody...

...with somebody who loves me  :D 

This is one of my fave from  Whitney Houston's many hits.


I chose this upbeat song from Whitney Houston's (classic) hits not to imbibe the sadness circling around the net today. I can't help but feel sad whenever I hear her magical voice via her songs played over and over the radios and teevees as tributes. It's just so sad too that we've lost another talent too early because of "drug-related issues" written all over and it's extremely pitiful and heartbreaking  to see such talent goes wasted. So, I just want a happier note rather than the usual. The diva has met her Creator now that she's on for the proverbial final sleep so to say. Had she been coaxed to the right path to stay away from her temporary escape it could have been otherwise unlike what happened now. But sad to say or is it better now that she is peaceful and unburdened of all of her pains and undertakings when her career had met the downhill slide. This only proves that we really are the captain of our soul. So, really drugs are hard to beat and once you are hooked on it the chance left is really very slim...might as well hold a banner that says...DON'T DO DRUGS, lest you end up in a war where no one wins the battle...always a loser. Such self-destructive habit can destroy everything in you to pieces.


>>>To the late diva, REST IN PEACE <<<


Am segueing here...
Life is too short, so if we feel we love the person as one of Whitney's classic hits...let us not keep it inside. To love someone is one of the Greatest Love Of All.

February to christians like me is the love month (FEB 14) where we honor and celebrate St. Valentines. Say the magic words...I LOVE YOU, if you feel it inside and don't try to bottle up your feelings.

Say it once you feel it inside. Well, I believe I just did... ;)

Love, love, love

It's just five days away and it's Valentine's Day! Wow, this month says it all what's there to be in love. Are you in love? Am I too? Special someone? Naah ahh! Still looking for the right one to come...where is he? Well, I think not everybody, (just like me) will be having a date to be spent with somebody who is so special in our hearts. We all fall in love...some are so blessed to keep that love but to some who's been heartbroken, trying to find some sort of patching up that never work sometimes...some are irreversible and can't be healed too. Some find solace to find another love. But what is important and I believe is that...we should learn how to love ourselves first in order to find complete happiness. Not being with someone  would mean that person is unhappy and his life would just  go miserable. No! Unless one makes skulking and draws himself to melancholia, then he is just in trouble. Let us realize that not all things that we wish for ourselves will go nice and smoothly as we want them to be. Accept the fact that not all that we hoped for will be served to us the way we all wanted them to be. Some things are just not meant to be.

Just enjoy life with or without valentines! Hoho...if you are still holding your heart, just wait till somebody ask for it and be sure whoever will ask for it...is just as deserving. So enjoy and let LOVE rule the world!


Lol-lol-lol-lol ;D

Always laugh when you can. It's cheaper than medicine... :D

Aye, I so love tWitch...!

I am a self-confessed tWitch fanatic, just see for yourself why...



Stephen Boss a.k.a. tWitch has given dancing a different kind of swag and for me he is just so good & gorgeous...plus classic music really takes me back (in time). ;D

This vid is one I do play over and over again in my you-tube channel video. 

and this one too...


tWitch, you got my awesome 5 shining stars!

Note: Click off the music from my auto-playlist if you want to watch this video...found on the right side of this page. Thanks

Kind words really don't cost much...

We all like all that is good and nice and pleasing to God...quite impossible because we're human. So better if we can't be a blessing to others, at least don't mess their lives either. For just a single negative words you blurt out can ruin one soul. I do believe that if you can't say something good, just close your mouth and keep quiet. But sometimes when one is pushing you against the wall then you have to make yourself be heard or he's gonna shove you all the more.

And it's quite understandable when you go >>hey hey, listen... <<

Am soooo in love !!!

with my new blogskin... ;D

I want to win...

because I don't want to lose!

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever...

As soon as you put the needle on a phonograph record, it begins to play. Attention is the needle that plays the record of past actions. So you should not put your attention on bad ones. Why go on suffering over the unwise actions of your past? Cast their memory from your mind, and take care not to repeat those actions again.<
