On their 40th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration. "Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?"  Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all.  It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint, forgiveness  --and a great many other qualities you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed SINGLE." HAHAHA!

MANILA, Philippines - True to form, and out of respect for the presidential inaugural, James Yap, the shy and soft-spoken estranged husband of Kris Aquino, has opted to remain quiet on their breakup, which was confirmed by Kris on her farewell appearance on the ABS-CBN talk show “The Buzz.” “Respeto lang po kay Presidente Noynoy,” James told The STAR in a brief interview yesterday. “He will take his oath of office tomorrow at ayoko namang agawan siya ng eksena. Our country has a lot of problems. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ang problema namin ng asawa ko ang pinagtutuunan ng pansin ng tao.” A lot of people are taking Kris to task on why she has to steal the show from her Kuya Noynoy, who will be sworn in as the 15th president of the Philippines tomorrow at austere ceremonies at the newly-renovated Quirino Grandstand. He’s doing away with the parade to cut costs. “Kris said on The Buzz that she has kept quiet for two years about her marital problem,” said a disappointed Kris fan. “If she ...

I was riding a "tricycle" ( a public utility vehicle )in one of my short visits in Manila when I saw this in front of my face. Halleluyaaaaah! Wherever I go, He keeps reminding me of His awesome presence. Yes! Jesus is Lord forever! Ameeeeen! Note: Tricycle - Tricycles are motorcycles with side cars bigger than the pedicab, which has the legal capacity of 5 passengers including the driver. However, due to the oil price increase, some drivers will accept up to 10-15 passengers: squeezed in the sidecar and the backseat of the driver, hanging at the rear or sides of the sidecar and/or sitting on the roof top. Other times these vehicles carry loads of market goods, hardware or furniture and even appliances. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

To Be 6 Again... A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror.. Since her birthday was not Far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday. 'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror . On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wi...

Read to the end, you will laugh just picturing it happening. I love the thoughts she lives by!!! I didn't break the elastic... Don't break the elastic! In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting...' Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day.....like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words! Maya Angelou said this: 'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.' 'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.' 'I've learned that regardless of your relati...

I received this email from a friend in Aussie right after I posted a link about the Guatemala sinkhole. Filipinos are the best! hahah! upssss.  -------- 8 Amazing Holes! These holes are not only amazing, but some of these are really terrifying -   especially #8!   The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are.   1. Kimberley Big Hole , South Africa   A pparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.   2. Glory Hole , Monticello Dam , CA   A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir.   This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.   3. Bingham Canyon Mine , Utah   This is supposedly the largest man-mad...

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned... couldn't concentrate. Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax. After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting. Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in. I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income. I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. So then I got a job in a gymnasium , but they said I wasn't fit for the job. I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it. SO I RETIRED, AND I FOUND I AM A PERFECT FIT FOR THE JOB!

This is a true story taken from one of the most read newspaper in the Philippines . A 70-year old 'lolo' from the province was accompanied by a grandson to the US Embassy in Manila for his VISA interview. The lolo spoke not a word of English so the grandson translated for him. The Consul told the young man to ask his grandfather why he wanted to go to the States. "Bakit daw ho ninyo gustong pumunta sa Amerika?" The grandson translated. "Sabihin mo gusto kong makita yung mga anak ko doon." "He said he wants to see his children there." Fair enough, that's what the lolo's application indicated. The Consul had another question. "Ask him why does he have to go there? Why can't his children just come and visit him here?" The grandson translated this in Tagalog. Lolo replied: "Sabihin mo kasi dito pinanganak yung mga anak ko. Nakita na nila ang Pilipinas. Gusto ko namang makita ang Amerika bago ako mamatay....

This is the BEST email that I received today. Loved this. Yes I agree. God is our only HOPE for the healing and Full restoration of our country, The Philippines. Not rallies , complaints or anger. Just PRAYER and talking to Him.. Blogging and spreading this out. *THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE PHILIPPINES* by Father James Reuter, S.J. By her own admission, GMA (Gloria Macapagal Arroyo) rightfully assessed that over the last decades; our republic has become one of the weakest, steadily left behind by its more progressive neighbors.' Forty years ago, we were only second to Japan in economic stature, and way ahead of Singapore , Hong Kong , Malaysia , and Thailand . Today, at our present growth rate, it will take us 30 years to get to where Thailand is. 1.. A population of 160 Million; 2. Of those, 70 to 90 million (equivalent to our current population) will live below the poverty line; 3. Our national debt is estimated to be at US$200B (compared to US$28B when Marcos fl...

Saw this link in my facebook and just wana share. Be cautious in taking a cab, anywhere. Pinas, how are you gona deal with this? January 13, 2009 Superklasse Wednesday After four months of not going to a club (LITERALLY), I finally did to show some support for one of my best friends, Mel and to see friends who I haven’t seen for the longest longest longest time. It was the first time I’ve ever set foot in Encore (to think I used to go to Embassy every week). It felt surreal to be out and without my boyfriend, LJ, who couldn’t come due to an early class the following day. I only had 4 drinks: 3 Amaretto Sours and a Mai Tai. It felt good seeing a lot of my friends. We took so many pictures that my fully charged camera went low bat. Anyway, Mel and I decided to leave Encore by 2:30 A.M. Our friends stayed behind since the club closes at 3 A.M. Mel and I were taking separate cabs since she goes home to Mandaluyong and I to Makati. I WAS COMPLETELY SOBER. Not even a bit tipsy. I remember te...
