Miownlil'way (four)


The Fourth...

" When a man commits a mistake, he often looks for a symphatizer, instead of a solution."

Come on,aren't we all like that? It's normal to look for someone who'd listen and understand. The hard part is accepting the truth,the reality. That's when making the solution to the problem.Or to the committed sin.People tend to look for someone like himself or even worse to justify what he did.

" Not every challenge is worth pursuing."

I have or should i say, you have always heard the phrase "I want challenge". It is one way of a man to prove to himself how worthy it is to get through one big obstacle and what a relief it is to overcome that.But in this particular thing, i want to emphasize on RELATIONSHIP. We often hear from men that they wanted to be challenged in getting the girl of their dreams and vise versa. They love the feel of getting hurt/rejected many times and then win in the end. But as i observed this to many failed marriages...THIS WAS REALLY THE CAUSE! Though not in general...but oh believe me,those who fail in the marriage/relationship department...are the ones who's got mates who are VERY HARD TO PLEASE AND VERY HARD TO GET. Sounds familiar? You'd hear men who's got extra marital affairs..."oh my wife is very hard to please...oh my wife wont do this for me..she doesnt like to please me in bed,blah,blah,blah!" You'd hear women..."oh i did everything for him. he doesn't seem to be satisfied.blah,blah,blah!" Come to think of it,why do we want to challenge ourselves if we can have things easy? Why do we punish ourselves in getting it the hard way when there's an easy access? Why do we insist on someone who doesn't give a damn for us? Are we made as "masochists"? One who finds pleasure in pain? If one person is so very hard to please and very hard to get..rest assured...he/she will be one tough person to deal with..think twice before your marriage will get in trouble. It will cost you a lifetime.

"Being arrogant is a very effective way to alienate people,bruise powerful egos and put a big black mark on your reputation. It's okay to feel proud of yourself, but not when it's at the expense of others. Be humble and nurture harmony."- anonymous

I absolutely agree with this. Being arrogant is somewhat like a defense mechanism. It serves as a protection(mistakenly) by someone who never wanted to get hurt and belittle by others. It's like bullying.It's not good,because we will not win friendship and harmony by being arrogant.ong>

Here's another set of photos taken during our Palawan adventure in the Philippines. Here you'll see some nice landscapes and the infamous "underground river" where it was nominated to be included in the new "seven wonders of the world". I'm not sure though if it won or not.

My Photo Experience....

I am not a professional photographer but I always have passion for photography and it's one of my most favorite subjects in college. Too bad that i was not able to bring with me my "plates" and scanned and saved them on cd,because we were using the manual camera back then and film rolls. Which for me is interesting and the advanatge of it i guess is it makes you even more careful and avoid mistakes because unlike the digital, it tells you whether you're right or wrong and can delete it in just one click. But of course digital is so convenient and economical. Anyways, here are some of shots i took when we were in Bohol, Philippines. I have no theme here whatsoever. I just took photos as a hobby and took some which I find interesting. Enjoy....,

Miownlil'way (three)

So,here's the 3rd sequel...

"There are over six billion people around the world. And it's amazing to learn that each of us were created unique from the other. Each individual has their own identity,principle,viewpoint and taste. So if you want to gain RESPECT out of this six billion people,LEARN TO RESPECT other people's principle,viewpoint and taste."
The word respect itself is sometimes hard for many people. People tend to be selfish and pushy in things they want to. But since we are created uniquely...respecting one another can make life easier.

"Everything in this world is made by reason. Nothing exists and happen by coincidence. So does our lives. The person that we become and even the tiny things that we tend to overlooked,has its own purpose and reason. So we must not judge everything and everyone...it may have a reason. Just like you,you may have a reason too."
WHY is always the question in everything,in everyone. Even kids asks "why" in everything. Why is the sky blue?Why there are stars in the night? Why does it happen? Why she/he became like this and that? In every WHY,there must be a reason. Whether it's right or wrong.And we must not be judgmental. We tend to get sad or mad over things that one person may did. We may not always like it. She/he has reasons...either good or bad,it still is a reason. And we are responsible for whatever we have become.

"Life is an endless road to challenge. It's up to us to take the risk,face it and allow ourselves to fall, and just be human. Or you can take the safe lane, avoid the danger,the fun,the pros and cons life has to offer.But i believe,you'd learn more to life,if you taste it with zest,chill-out and let yourself be...Because the blame is more painful if you don't do it at all."
Experience is the best teacher,so they say. And i agree with that. It's easy to give advice,to suggest things but it's not once you are in the situation. It's easy to judge and criticize...but not once you are in the middle of the crisis. So why not be ourselves...and let life itself teach us.And yet,learn from it

"Almost always,people tend to set standards when it comes to relationship. Certain rules and everything....without evaluating their own personality."
Does it ring a bell? Oh for sure. You'd hear different claims of "oh she should be like this and and that.He should be like this and that!" But the sad thing is...Hey,have you look at yourself first?Have you ask yourself and evaluate what kind of person you are before you deserve this and that? Duh???
No offense guys...there's no exemption to the rule,i myself is struck by my own analysis and i would say i have to review these every once in a while,LoL!!!
PEACE...

Itlog na Maalat With Tomatoes and Sibuyas



It’s just one of the boredom days…But actually I don’t get bored here. I do a lot of things that I can’t even have time to write in my blog even though random thoughts had been bugging my mind for the past days. It was generally a good week. I’d say a couple of weeks. We enjoy having some friends to come over and have fun. My husband has bought a projector from ebay and connected it to the dvd player and voila! It is as if we are watching movies in a theatre! Put the projector on against the large living room wall. Friends seems to enjoy it everytime and they are all eager to come over. And my neverending PANCIT and LUMPIANG SHANGHAI recipe has become so popular in the whole congregation, that everytime they come over, they’d ask for me to do it! Oh well, i’d love to although honestly I am tired doing that hahaha! Hmm, speaking of Filipino food, yeah I missed it. Good thing my husband bought kilos of rice before I arrive here, knowing that I would eat more rice than burgers and sandwiches. And it’s a good thing there’s an asian store around(one is owned by a Filipino) where i can buy pancit bihon(or rice sticks as they call it) lumpia wrapper(or spring rolls here) and guess what? They have SALTED EGGS! My eyes went BIG! It comes in six pieces per box but the only difference is they’re not red as I am used to back home. But it doesn’t matter, it’s still salted eggs. My husband was laughing at me that as soon as we gets home, i quickly cook rice and prepare the salted eggs and diced tomatoes and onions and eat with my washed bare hands…..as if i never ate for ages! I also miss SINIGANG NA BABOY. Well, the Filipino store has KANGKONG(or bokchoy in chinese) and they have my favorite OKRA in the supermarket. And i got Tamarind soup base(from the philipppines), so maybe one of these days i will cook myself sinigang, hmmm, i am getting hungry now. Sorry guys, you must have noticed that I talk about FOOD all this time. Well, i just want to emphasize that i miss Filipino food. Good thing they liked my pancit and lumpia and adobo. American food is okay(mostly burgers, chicken and ham sandwiches, hotdogs, potatoes,salads) But it’s kinda tiring too. There’s a lot of Mexican, Italian and Chinese restaurants here so whenever I feel like missing asian food, I will just ask Steve to go get chinese, which he also loves(good thing). No Filipino restaurant around here(but i see one in Orlando), so the closest home for me will be chinese. We got a married couple friends here that used to live in California(where most Filipinos are)and they arewell-familiar with Filipino foods because they have some Filipino friends back in California. I was amazed when i brought my lumpiang shanghai when we had a get-together, Debbie quickly said, “oh is that lumpia?” She even knows the name! So Steve and I planned that when we invite them here, I would prepare not the shanghai lumpia, but the FRESH LUMPIA. Which Steve also loves. They haven’t tried it so i thought it would be nice to prepare that for them. Oh well….I gotta go for now…food trip ang lola nyo ngayon haha! Not really, namimiss ko lang pagkaing pinoy…..Until next time!
