A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...a youth she’s content to leave behind….

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....a past juicy enough that she’s looking forward toretelling it in her old age….

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE....one friend who always makes her laugh… and one who lets her cry…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored…

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....a feeling of control over her destiny.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…how to fall in love without losing herself.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…when to try harder… and WHEN TO WALK AWAY…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…that she can’t change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…that her childhood may not have been perfect…but its over…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…what she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…how to live alone… even if she doesn’t like it…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..whom she can trust,whom she can’t,and why she shouldn’t take it personally…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…where to go…be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…or a acharming inn in the woods…when her soul needs soothing…

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…what she can and can’t accomplish in a day…a month…and a year…

Somewhat packed - reporting to work in June 1, 2009 - same day of my bday to what my kewl-bro-R called it: the armpit of the oil world.....

Wrote an email to an old friend... :)

My job required me to move (again)....leaving to the new destination end of May 2009...

Will it means end of my blogging days...? I'm mostly on my FB instead...

Been house, teenager and dog sitting for the past week for my close friend...she is in Europe...I am enjoying my job/walk daily with her Doberman Pinschers...Mischa ---- she is a doll...a super energetic, alert, smart, and watchful dog. This Dobe..is basically walking me instead of me walking her...she is strong and pull me to walk...and will make sure I don't get lost....how kewl is that????

Been busy workin' - went audit - it went fairly well - I guess....

Been facebook-in' - it'z addictive

Been exercisin' - I'm happy that I've put a lot of commitments to do it regularly

Been gettin' ready to move to the field....geez...June '09 is comin' waaaaaaay too soon

Been missin' my niece and neph....

Been thinkin' about how thankful I'm to all of HIS bountiful blessings....

Been smilin' thinking about "our anniversarry" is comin' up..... :)

Easter is comin' up...each year it reminds me of how J.C's willingness to die for my sins.............

I have nothing to write here :(

Went to my friend's studio to play piano...itz been a while but I love it....playing piano calms me tremendously...

To answer - VIV questions about the top 5:

For me...

Same belief - who loves J.C
Laid back n the one who could take my crap (n my anger problm at times..LOL)
Yeah no whine-y person - I m the only one who is allow to whine...
Someone who spoils me
Someone who is kind hearted...to others...and genuine...can't stand egotistical fakes...

:))))

There u got my answer VIV...letz tag VN Gal...answer us VN Gal...

Broken Cellph - n anger management?

I broke my cellph...I have had that ph since 2005 and it has followed me everywhere around the world....don't ask me plz how I broke it - I m jest gonna come out n say it: it has to do w me getting really, really, really pissed off, I took all my emotion/anger at the poor little ph...I threw it (in the carpet) soooo hard that it is literally broke into two...I took the SIM card out and realized all the 200 ph numbers I got was actually saved on the phone not on the SIM...the reason why is becz when traveling, I often would purchase the country "on the go-SIM" and use the local number (cheaper than the $2.99/min Cing or ATT charges). If I saved on my SIM then I would not be able to obtain those numbers and if I saved on both then they would appear twice on my phonebook....

What to do w all the numbers stored inside the broken ph. not to mention all the sweet text msgs I saved of my hun and pix I took during my travels..........my patience ever-loving hun actually taped it together for me and it works...ppl...my phone has gone through some MAJOR operation...LMAO...

Then the sweet VN - Gal...n BFF V-Boo actually offered me their old phones...thank yawl for handling the crisis situation of no-cell-ph-available = craziness....

Moral of the story...if you get angry threw something on the floor that isn't breakable LMAO.....

Been away - too wrap up on Facebook....so much fun...I found old friends...we are too busy pokin' each others and writin' on the wall LMAO!!!!

What've I been doing w my "lil' bit of spare time" now....reading and more reading...especially the weather has been so permitting...it'z been so gloomy and drizzled here and there.........

HeArt bReAK!!!!

"We just drifted apart" = typical excuse for breakups nowadays....we often (including moi - in the past) use.

But now I realized....geez...how lame......never follow ur heart coz its an emotional roller coaster....instead strive to lead ur heart! If two ppl wants to stay together....they can/will work through anything.....no wonder most of us, our parents stay married 'til death do 'em apart..........those folks have my respect!!!!!!!!!

Sweet Recollection
Meeting up with friends of a decade old never fails to bring back good old memory, but at the very same time, awakening us to the melancholic truth that the past simplicity in life is never to be owned again.
those were the days when we life was much simpler.
there are so many strings of events running through my mind. happy ones, depressing ones, hilarious ones… i can never finish getting them all out in words.
time can never be reverse, and memories are what we are left with.
bittersweet indeed.

One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go?
Back to who I was
On to find my future things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign
Let this road be mine
Let it lead me to my past
courage see me through heart
I am trusting YOU to bring me home At last!

I detest the mediocre element of life yet contradictorily embrace the simplicity of it.
Prolly the line is too thin thus they smudged to a confusing grey now.

Be Brave
even if u arent,
just pretend.

Sometimes you have to forget what you feel and
remember what you deserve.

JEANS WEEK all next week.... :)))) YEAYYYYYYYYYY!!!

I am hooked on Lulu Guinness fragrance.....

Mistakes I have made and they might come back to haunt me someday in the future. But I don't owe anyone an explanation. Nor am I inclined to provide gossip for other people. It's really difficult to trust anyone these days....but I know I can always put my trust in HIM and HIM ONLY....

Somewhere I have never traveled, gladly beyond any experience, your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which I cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look will easily unclose me though I have closed myself as fingers, you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose or if your wish be to close me, I and my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly, as when the heart of this flower imagines the snow carefully everywhere descending; nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals the power of your intense fragility: whose texture compels me with the color of its countries,rendering death and forever with each breathing (I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens; only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands - E. E. Cummings

Went to Tam's house on Fri, she just moved to a 4 yr old house...we hang out...over grill chicken and a bottle of merlot...and watch girly movie: Because I said so...

OMG..OMG...I found a perrrrrfect Merlot wine....by accident....I was looking for Lindemans but come across the California wine...our own...wow....I decided to try it....

I noticed...a rich, medium Ruby Red color in this Merlot, with aromas of black cherry, cassis, red licorice, plum and a hint of sage, balanced with notes from the oak aging, including vanilla, toffee and toasty oak.... I took a sip and it's easy to drink. Surprisingly rich flavors of cherry, vanilla and mocha combine with toasty oak. Highly recommended ;)))))

ECONOMIC concerns may have dampened the mood, but people marked the Year of the OX by continuing to celebrate the Lunar New Year - with prayer, ritual, tradition, and festivities.....

For those who celebrate the New Year...wish you guys a prosperous one!

I love the church near my home...every week it puts out a message - very catchy for passerby....

The world financial crisis has made me realized I need a New Year resolution to bring my lunch everyday to work. No more eating out for lunch. It was all inspired by my bro and my sis-in-law. My bro holds a high position in Sydney and my sis-in-law is a corporate lawyer and they own a beautiful, expensive house, yet – they bring their lunch to work. They don’t spend crazy amount of money for eating out….

Today marked the 3rd day of my bringing my lunch from home…..

I also had started my almost daily jogging back……….along w/ eating light meals….I lost my jogging partner – as she moved to Penn State but…jogging alone gives me time to myself to reflect and praise HIM……….

I am still very much in love w/ HIM…He is a wonderful Lord!
