my worst & 'not- so' very worst of confessions

"Nobody is bored when he is trying to make something that is beautiful or to discover something that is true."
-W. R. Inge

Every now and then, we need to re-think what we really need and want in life.Otherwise, things will suck us up to boredom.If you notice,each moment we re-evaluate of something we would like in our lives, our fate works towards that end. For example, if you are in a friendship or in situation which you are not particularly happy and you ask for something better, don't be surprised.That someone or unkind situation will vanish.Odd!you'd think!but changes will come and you'll be wondering why..

Some years ago in Turkey while I was still single & working.I was getting bored for the reason I didn't know,not that I was having a bad times or unpleasant friends or something.That was the dullest moment in my life! But a year after,I met a man,married him & joined him to his country and then we're blessed with a beautiful son.Life changes comes unexpectedly and I'm still asking the same question, If I have desired all this out of boredom?hehe

Now you see,the effect & consequences of getting bored with the life. So therefore, next time you think you're bored,don't worry! Changes will come your way....

Around two this afternoon,I was in the kitchen suddenly I smelled something,like a scented candle.I was feeling very very cold when I realized it's almost Halloween.As you may (not) know, it is believe back home (Philippines) that when you smell a candle or flower before or during All Saints Day,it means that there's someones spirits/ghosts visiting you(relative or friends who dies) want to be remembered,asking us to pray for their souls on their special day.Now,me askin'Yay! how will I know whos ghost who need my prayer?Sa dami nila?? Lechoses!tinakot pa kilay kow,mwahaha

anyways,
have a scary este happy halloween everyone!

I've been saying the word, 'mama',practicing it with our li'l seb since he was born,but 'Dada' was becoming his first word.That 'dada' turns to 'papa' many weeks ago.'There is a favoritism in this house'I told my husband! (hehe) as li'l seb never utter the word I've been waiting to hear,'mama'...please say mama!!I'd say BUT obviously mama is not seb's fave word until last saturday,my baby finally uttered 'mama'for the very first time wowowww!!I was very delighted & hugged my baby.

He can say several words as well like:
appuh-for apples,
appuh-also for banana,hehe
auto-cars
bah-bus
tweetwee-for train
ehbe-for airplane
ehbe-(for sebe)when pointing himself in the mirror
dak-duck
bebe-baby
mimi-for animals
bal-ball
bye-bye
hi!-hi!
dankyu-thankyou ( I think he's combining thankyou & danke,ngeeks!)

He also makes several animal noises like meow meow ,quack quack and aw aw ( he's so good at this,haha)

I'm still wondering, why do baby says 'mama' depressingly late? or Is it just me??uhmmm... :)

We all make promises we don't keep.We promise for example to call someone back later in the day,or to stop by and visit soon BUT things just doesn't happen.We have every intention of following through on our promises(most of the time),but life interferes! you know,one gets sick,a child gets tantrums,friends/relatives visits unexpectedly,or we simply forget.This is very normal,and if this happens only now & then, it should be ok.
However,you meet a person consistently forgets,neglects commitments.She says what sounds that pleases you without really caring whether she'll be able to deliver it.And you call this person a promise-breaker and you don't want to rely on her anymore as she's in between the person who makes promise without thinking or caring it through and the one who makes promises with no intention of keeping it at all.Such a dishonest,insensitive character makes me sick sometimes.Should I expect her to change? or just run ....?

She has been plagued with bizarre dreams lately which is making her such a nervous jitters,like the kind you get when you drive in Autobahn(Highway) on snowy weather.Sometimes,she is shaking for no reason at all.She have no clue what's wrong with her.Is she crazy or just being silly?No one knows.She has to pee like crazy with the constant runnning back & forth,three times in a row at night.She's so tired,then on top of it,freakin' morning sickness & breast pain.She's getting so forgetful and clumsy lately as well,like forgetting what you went for in the kitchen or forgetting to lock the door or leaving the house on this cold weather without her jacket on.Then,she asked again..what is wrong with her? Is she crazy or just being silly? then she answered..she is just being froggy!!LOL

To the darling people in blogworld,wish her luck!

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains re gulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

here's for us...

I've learned-That you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned-That no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned-That it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned-That it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned-That you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better know something.
I've learned-That you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned-That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I was amused after reading an article yesterday about a club here in germany doing this sort of thing.They called it 'Cuddle Club' is like a spa-type club where you pay an annual membership fee and get hugged/cuddled.No kissing & sex is allowed,it says.

This is silly, I thought! I understand people love to be hugged/cuddled and I personally think hugses is healthy socially and emotionally but why would anyone pay for a hug where you can get them from a friend,family or lover (if there's any?) for 'free'?

For Germany residents only,check this out..

VOXtours will be featuring 'Philippine Island' tonight 18.15 on the local German channel VOX.

We are creatures of habit,develop routines and have certain repertoire of attitudes and tend to act,response the same way over and over again. This may explain of why I was feeling disappointed last week, as one of my closest friend declines/fails her customary response I used to know. Maybe I was being paranoid & silly enough of not giving her at least the benefit of the doubt before reacting.Anyways,mangkukulam(hehe) & I have talked.No need for further elaboration I guess:)

I've noticed many (if not some) of your comments to my last post starts with 'Is it Me or ako ba cheh ang pinatatamaan mo? I hope,I wasn't misunderstood here or you guys were just joking only.. really:)
