Have you a best friend? What qualities should a best friend have? I myself have had a number of friends in my life of which only one has stood the test of time and become my best friend. No, I'm not gonna tell you how i met my best friend, how long we've been friend, and other general things. But, I'm gonna tell you about how your best friend could change everything, help you making decisions, and makes you a better person. So, today, i decide to write something for my only best friend. It's just my personal thought :)

Earlier today, I had an interesting conversation on my messenger, about some job application that I've sent a few days ago. Okay, not a job application actually, it's just my portfolio for someone who interested with my designs. The funny thing is, I didn't have any intention at all to send it, I mean, I had my own studio, that run very well right now (well at last that's how it looks for me). I talked to my best friend, and like usual, I asked her for any advice, and always trust her words for any decisions that I think it's hard for me to decide it alone, or whenever I don't feel sure to myself. Her advice is simple, without any other comments or asking around, "Send it". Yeah, I only need those simple words from her to convince me. So, i prepared it, and sent it right away. As for me, I didn't have any confidence that my application will be considered. But then today, the person whom I sent my portfolio asked for my messenger account and wanted to discuss something. Hey! Thanks! I’m glad you considering me!

... And thanks to my best friend for convincing me (once again)

It’s quite a while we’ve been friend . I was thinking back through my life and trying to remember how many times you’ve been helping me making any decisions, how many advices and admonitions that you already gave me, how many crazy hours we've spent together, how many stupid acts we've done (err, it's my stupid acts actually), how many wise words that you gave to me, you don’t know, you just don’t know. I never met such a smart person that I can rely, that I can depend on, and mostly, whom willing to put her everything in helping me (no, you’re not lazy, I know that, you just don’t want to waste your energy to something useless).

… And you surely did leave something along your path.

But, just like a story book, the story itself wouldn’t be interesting if there isn’t any conflicts. Still remember when I yelled at you and we’re not saying hello to each other? Okay, I won’t do that again, cause I’m not feeling so well after that (thank God, it only happened for 3 days). You know how stubborn I am, and I have enough courage to “waste” friends.
I still remember what you’ve said to me on my 22nd birthday :
“you’re a man now, and you should take choices…”
and here’s a choices that I’ve made, and probably one of my own best decisions that I’ve made : to stay with you and keep you as my best friend, the one who listening to my dreams

…And for Upang a.k.a punk de pinkpankponk (damn, I love this nickname!), always remember this :

You are my best friend, My very best friend, You make me happy, Everyday. That’s why I enjoying every little times we share,
Talk to me whenever you feel sad, I may not be a help for you, but at least I’m sitting beside you and listening,
Tell me whenever you’re mad at me, if you don’t tell me, I’ll ask anyway,
Scold me whenever I’m wrong,
Laugh with me whenever you feel happy, and I’ll make you laugh even more,
You’re one of the best things that happens to my life, and truly a gift,
Don’t pout, especially to me, you’re not pretty whenever you’re pouting,

You’re my only best friend, and that’s why I love you unconditionally. I thank God for my friends who I love unconditionally and those who love me. It represents the strength of our friendship,

We’re bestest friend, always have, always will…

Just like what Carole King sang in her song :

Funny how I feel more myself with you
Than anybody else that I ever knew
I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
You've become the memory I can't erase…

You could have been anyone at all
A stranger falling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you

Yeah, I’m so glad it was you, Pang :)

Hi all!

Hi mommy... :) 

I know you'll read this.. (Love you tremendously mom!) hehe..

It's been awhile since my last post here.. hehehe..

Felt a bit guilty? aw  of course.. but life's been pretty dynamic for me lately..

Okay so let's just cut the crap... here I am today! :)

I just read one wonderful article and I thought I should share this with you guys... :)

Here we go..

Breakfast at McDonald's

This is a great true story!

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called, "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
 
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an i nch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty  body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.  As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling".  His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day," as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation. I held my tears as I stood there with them.
 
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is all Miss," because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. They just wanted to be warm). Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."
 
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope." We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love. 
 
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read, and this is when I knew we, as human beings and being part of God, share this need to heal people and to be healed. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
 
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT  LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

Hi, it's Y again,
Some times ago, i've read interesting fact about women's word and what they means. i don't know how much it is close to truth, but from my personal thought it's about 80% true (no offense to the ladies). and for the women, don't worry, i'll share the men's words with you too :) just remember, it's just a joke (only if you want to see it as a joke, but if you think this is serious, i'm not responsible to your relationship after reading this :p ). For men, don't misunderstood women, sometimes they only say what's inside their mind and their thought...and for women, we, the men, are not mind reader, so just talk and say what you want to us, don't worry, we'll try to understand :)

{for men's reading}
9 words women use to hide their feelings :
1. “Fine”
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. if your girlfriend asking you about how other girls look, DO NOT use this word (it usually ends with an argument and you'll receive this "fine" word)

2. "Five minutes"
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. "Nothing"
This is the calm before the storm. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end with "Fine".

4. "Go ahead"
this comes with 2 type of go-ahead:
a. with raised eyebrows This is a dare! don't do it. this is the one that will result in a woman getting upset over and will end with the word "Fine"
b. with normal eyebrows This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "go ahead (with raised eyebrows)" in just a few minutes, followed by the combo of "Nothing" and "Fine"

5. "Loud sigh"
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of "nothing") but if the women do the Soft sigh, mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content. just don't push your luck at the time like this

6. "That's okay"
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. (Y's note : i don't entirely agree about this one :p)

7. “Thanks”
She is thanking you, do not question, just say “you’re welcome”. (unless she says “Thanks a lot” - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say “you’re welcome” … that will bring on "Whatever").

8. “Whatever”
Is a women’s way of saying "shut up and stop it!"

9. "Don’t worry about it, I got it"
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response it with "Nothing"

{for women's reading}
9 words men use to hide their thoughts:
1. "Fine"
Literally means that's just fine, unless SHOUTED LIKE THIS!

2. "Five minutes"
It depends on what are you asking them. "five minutes" means 30 minutes if you ask them to do house-work. "five minutes" means "just a sec" if you ask them to make love with you. preparing to leave? "five minutes" means five minutes, and if you're not in the car in exactly five minutes you will find yourself under a veritable barrage of honking until you rectify the fact.

3. "Nothing"
He forgot what he was going to say. seriously.

4. "Go ahead"
Permission granted. Do what you want before he changed his mind!

5. "Loud sigh"
This is a sign of frustration, and means, basically, "I so don't understand what do you (women) want?"

6. "That's okay"
Perhaps what are you've been doing is not perfect, but that will do. But if "That's okay" being followed with "Loud sigh", that is a sign of dissapointment.

7."Thanks"
Thank you, really, it has nothing behind. just watch the intonation.

8. "Is it OK if I...?"
He's already done it, so it doesn't matter if you agree or not. it's up to you if you want to use "Go ahead (with raised eyebrows)" (see #4 on men's section above)

9. "Don't worry about it, I got it"
This isn't often used by men, but when uttered it holds the same connotations as "Stop asking if I need help, I am a MAN, I am more than capable of handling this shit myself". Women often challenge this, which can result in a combo of "Go ahead" and "Loud sigh"

Do you agree? as for me, i can agree at some points :p (which points?that's a secret i won't tell you...hey, sounds like gossip girl). just remember, men and women are born different, that's why they should complete each other :)
