Never regret the choices you make,just believe in yourself and have faith.Life is not perfect.Its a blend of joy and sorrow.But whatever it may lead you,its because of a purpose..
(nashare ko lang quote na ito)

One must have a certain assertiveness to get about in life. There are many who say, "Bahala na ang Diyos". Yet, they seem to forget the other saying, "God helps those who help themselves". Although I'm Catholic like most Pinoys are, I'm also a realist. When I dig myself into a hole, it's up to me to dig myself out of it. Once I'm free, then I thank God for everything.
Some other sayings I go by in life:
* Love may make the world go around, but it doesn't pay the bills.
- Sad but true. Unless you live in trees out there in the jungle,
you're going to have to earn a living in order to survive.
* Live within your means
- Too often, I've seen people get themselves into heavy debt
trying to live a materialistic lifestyle they can't really afford.
I'm not saying don't. But, you need to have your priorities
straight. When I used to live in the squatter area in Binakayan
Cavite, I had an uncle (in-law) who spent his daily wages on
liquor and cigarettes instead of putting food on the table. He
also spent most of his time just being "istambay" at street
corners with other street toughs. He's also made a bunch of
kids (my cousins) and left my aunt to care for them. Whenever
my aunt would admonish him, he would drag her back in the
house and beat her up. It went on for many years. But, he died
not too long ago. His example shaped everything of what I
didn't want to be and stressed the importance of having a job
as a means and living within that means...... I pray I never end
up like he did.

January 25th, 2006 06:19 AM #34God sucks minsan,isip ko lan, kase there are times no matter how hard you pray nothing happens at all... i read from a book that God is just an imaginary friend for older people just to make them feel safe to explain things they cant explain and to make them see na there is something to look forward to after death...when in scientific terms there is not
Faith is really challenging if you can see,minsan pag may problema sasabihin sau magdasal ka lan magiging ok... pagkatapos ng mahabahabang pagdadasal nyak walang nangyari tapos eto na naman c lola sasabihin " eh iha hindi talaga para sau kaya hindi binigay" eh bakit pa ako nagdasal
whew, i really need my faith back.

prayer is a tool for some.....just don't expect every prayer will be answered 'cause you are merely talking to yourself.
peace bro.

Baligtad tayo. With my faith everything is easier.
Not all prayers are answered. Think of it this way. Yung pinagdadasal ba naten eh makakabuti sa ten? For all you know God already answered your prayer by not giving you what you wanted.
