And so I thought YOUR apology was sincere and GENUINE.

I was proven wrong.

I wonder what makes U think that anyone of US are jealous of YOUR LIFE, YOUR FORTUNE, YOUR BAGS, YOUR SHOES? Are YOU that DELUDED?!

YOU are like a PARASITE who clings on to other people's friend! Do you realise that you do NOT have any true friends at all? And do YOU realise that the reason for all this is U. 

But its OK.

You can go on with your HIGH life and your TALL Tales and your DELUDED sense of worth.

We don't have to say much because ONE day the truth will prevail and PEOPLE will see you for who U really ARE.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

By: Bo Sanchez

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?' I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends.   Is that your husband?'

In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?' Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with  your spouse.  You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything.  That's why it's called 'falling' in love... because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept off my feet.' Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there;   doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely,

phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens),  and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.

This is when marriages break down. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all   shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious.  But sometimes people turn to work,  a hobby,  a friendship,  excessive TV, or abusive

substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage.  It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this): The Key To Succeeding In Marriage Is Not Finding The Right Person; It's Learning To Love The Person You Found!

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression 'the labor of love.'

Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it.

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as

gravity), there are also  laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable…. you can 'make' love. Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... not just a feeling.

How Do You Measure Happiness?

Happiness is something that most people are concerned about and want. Athenian philosopher Aristotle once said that 'Happiness is the end for which human beings are designed.'
But, it seems that many people are confused about happiness. Sure, we know that it's important, but it's surprising how many people are not happy and how many are looking for happiness in the wrong places.
Some of us think the more we have the happier we'll be. Think about the times in your life when you bought something because you thought it would make you happy. How long did the joy last? On hindsight, was it really worth the effort and money? There is so much pressure in our culture to buy and to have. But there is a rude awakening to actually attaining the things that you think will make you happy. It is often so disappointing. How many times have you wanted something, only to find once you had it, it didn't give you the joy and happiness that you expected?
Someone else cannot make you happy. One of the myths of our society is that finding the perfect mate will bring perfect happiness. However, people who depend on others for their personal happiness are often bitterly disappointed. True happiness comes from knowing yourself, your values, and what you like to do, not from someone else knowing these things about you.
We also have to understand that happiness is not guaranteed. It is not a right. If we can fully understand this truth, then we'll cherish happiness more when it comes, and grieve less when it goes.
Questions about human happiness are not new; they have been asked throughout time. But no one else can really tell you how to find happiness. Also, what makes you happy changes with time. In reality happiness is a personal thing with as many varieties as there are individuals. The bottom line is that we are all experts on our own personal happiness, no one else holds the key or the answers to it. I would like to end this programme by sharing a statement by Robert Louis Stevenson:
'Make the best of your circumstances, No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with the gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears. Don't take yourself too seriously. You can't please everybody; don't let your neighbours set your standards, do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt. Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than the actual ones. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities, grudges. Don't hold post-mortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrow and mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself. Keep busy at something. A very busy person never has time to be unhappy.'

my company is looking for a secretary to replace me while i'm away on maternity urgently.

to start Jan 08 till May 08.

interested? kindly PM me.

10^th June 07

My maternal instinct tells me I am. And so I DID the test.

First result – You have never seen a fainter line in your life.

Second Result (few hrs later) – The second line was darker, clearly visible to the naked eye without too much suspension of disbelief.

No doubt about it. Positive.

My heart was pumping really hard that I called Ren right after. I’m confused really. Is this really really happening? Isn’t it too soon? The guilt starts kicking in as I look at Rayhan. I felt really uneasy and tears starts flowing out. Maybe it's just the stress of potentially bringing another baby into the world. All sort of Qs starts filling in my head. Can I do it? Will I be a good mother to both of them? Will the baby affect our financial situation? There’s no denying it – Kids cost money.

Full of mixed emotions since this IS an unplanned pregnancy. It is NOT an accident but this came as a surprise for us. Nevertheless, we are thrilled.

My gut instinct tells me we are ready and we CAN do it. Insya Allah.

Getting thru the 1^st trimester was not as easy peasy as my first pregnancy. I’m always feeling viciously low. Not only was I sad, I was angry, getting agitated and annoyed at the slightest provocation. The “morning sickness” left me feeling miserable and sick for the rest of the day. I feel exhausted and sleepy ALL the time.  

Few more weeks to go before everything goes back to normal. I hope.

ok, i can't wait..

6 more days to go..

a much needed break.. with the lovelies..

too bad, just too bad our other 2 lovelies wont be joining..

wonder how its gonna be esp with the little man in tow.. mesti FUN!

"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know"

~Hemingway

Interesting quote, no? I think the person Hemingway was referring to when he said that were not necessarily the book-smart per se, but rather the truly intelligent people; the intellectual, free thinkers-those who see the world in the various shades of gray that it really is.

So true it may be. The intellectual thinkers aren't pessimists; rather they are realists who don't view the world through jaded eyes but instead through the lense of objectivity that is true perception.

Ponder that.
