life is like a box of chocolates....

hello my dear blogging friends,just an update ...hope everyone had a wonderful week .... i miss all of you. been very busy this past days and always no chance to update...anyway,for my today post let me offer  this to the soul of filipina worker who passed away just recently,life is just like a box of chocolates sigh*always there's an end......please let us take sometime to pray for her soul that she may rest in peace,she died because of accident,her body was crushed out and leave no remains for her family.i was devastated after hearing the news from my friend and skip my lunch...remember my post what if???? ... for a moment i heard the news about her,i felt like my blood pressure goes up and i remembered my co-worker who got crushed out too but luckily just his one arm because we save him from turning off the machine..i still can remember it sometimes co'z im on duty at that time of incident and i almost fainted at thet time i saw the machine crushing his arm little by little,so scary sigh*.....it's so sad really,but i know God knows everything and i believe HE decides for us...so,just to lessen my loads on my chest please join me for a prayer  for her soul....

For death is but a passing phase of Life;

 A change of dress, a disrobing;
A birth into the unborn again;
 A commencing where we ended;
 A starting where we stopped to rest;
  A crossroad of Eternity;
A giving up of something
to possess all things.
 The end of the unreal,
 the beginning of the real.

 EDWIN LEIBFREED, "The Song of the Soul

 
                           

Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end

Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force

the clock of life....

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

                                                                   

   “Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you" -anonymous

you can find this clock inside nepz(nanzou export processing zone)at nanzou kaohsiung,Taiwan where one of  biggest factories like ASE and OSE are located.erected in the middle that everyone can see it.

......what if???

yesterday at around 8:20 in the morning an earthquake wake me up,feeling a bit tired i thought at first i was just kind of dizzy or something but not because when the shaking lasted for about a minute i already shout and started to freak....yes,i shout and i cried calling names,i'd like to run but i can't because i was still on my summer sleeping clothes(and you don't wanna know,how  i look sigh*).i kept on calling names but everyone was rushing to reach the first floor so,without a doubt and hesitation i grab a small blanket and wrap it on myself,oh my!heavens forgive me co'z i really don't wanna die on earthquake most especially if im not wearing any decent clothes huh!i always freak everytime there's an earthquake because i got this kind of phobia since 1999 when taiwan was hit with a very strong earthquake and i was on the 10th floor of a hospital building since then i can't calm myself whenever there is a  quake even just a short shaking. i told myself  i won't die because  of the earthquake but nervous breakdown.

i was shaking and crying this morning for an hour,and everyone tried to comfort me telling me that its okey nothing to worry,oh ya???who knows??after 4-5 hours there's still an aftershock and that adds more to my fear,fear of dying without my family around,i told myself what if something happen to me here who will takecare of me,what if i die???how about my body???what if,the building collapse and something happen???i don't want to think all of this...it's just i couldn't help it.... everyone has their own fear and my greatest fear is to die because of disaster or any accident,i don't want to die ugly(no joking!)please don't laugh....since,i was a kid i always asked my mom to check my clothes on the night if it is pretty or not co'z i told her just in case i die im pretty wearing a beautiful clothes,funny right?but,its true and until now i have this dream that when my time comes i just like im sleeping peacefully...i wish God will give me this simple wish of mine,and so i really,really don't want to die of earthquake and worst without a good clothes on me.

thank God im still alive and thank you that no one get hurt,thank you for my life and for the life of all the people living in this country,thank you for this day that i passed one more time- my greatest fear in life,thank you for protecting me today and for the next next day.thank you for giving me more chance to see and experienced the beauty of your endless creation.thank you...i asked you Lord to please takecare of me while im away to my family. thank you!!!

.....when it rained

today is my brother's natal day-and because it is his day so i will make this one post dedicated for him.... for many years now i've been helping my brother to whatever i can may it be moral support,spiritual and financial the first and last i think are two basic things i have had given to him as far as i know..am not too devoted like my mom when it comes to believing but i do believed i also encouraged him to be more closer to GOd at that time and so he decided to be one of the choir and enjoy his every off in the church till he finally recovered and finished his contract in taiwan...when he was still here in taiwan working, he got a very very huge problem about his ex-wife and it lasted for years before he/us recover about the outrageous incident,to make the story short-anything he needs at the time he can't stand on his own i supported him,almost everyday i call him and tried to comfort him as if i have no obligation to myself,it's tiring but i never felt it that way because i had a promise to myself that i would never leave anyone from my family especially if they need me.sometimes,i felt i have given enough for him and for his kids,the fact that i chose his kids to leave with me/us than my ex and forgetting my own happiness.no,im not complaining and it will never happen-i love my brother and i love his kids and i love my whole family no matter what happen  i will still choose them.... my love for them just like water that never stop,whenever it will rain i will be their shelter till i am here on earth.

allow me to share this song:

 He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
The road is long
With many winding turns,
That leads us to
Who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to care
Ah, He ain't heavy
Cause, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he,
To where, we'll get there


But I know
He will not uncomfort me
Ah, He ain't heavy
Cause, he's my brother
The road is long
With many winding turns
That leads us to,
Who knows where
Who knows where

But I'm strong,
Strong enough to care
Ah, he ain't heavy
Cause, he's my brother
When the going gets rough,
I've got a brother
When the going gets tough,
I've got a friend
Ah, you must call me
Yeah, yeah
All you must call me
He, he's my brother
He's my brother

.......in the eyes of a child

"in the eyes of a child there is joy there is laughter,there is hope there is trust a chance to shape the future

for the lessons of life there is no better teacher.than the look in the eyes of a child"...hmmm,song that moves me whenever i sang this song tears are flowing into my eyes co'z i can always remember being a kid-never worried of anything,not even a single minute to face problems or trials... a kid that everybody loved,i always missed being a kid not because i didn't  taste all the riches a kid could have... i missed being a kid because when i was a kid i can dream of anything,i can hope,i can smile without hiding a pain,i can trust  anyone,i can love any person who will show their love to me,i can play,i can rest and i can tell the world that im a kid and nothing to expect more from me because i am just a kid..... oh i really missed those days....

 

see these kids???they doesn't care what's going on at that day,its after my dad's funeral they got tired after that tiring day and when we got home an ice cream vendor passed by on our house and when they heard it they rushed into the street and called the ice cream boy,OMG,you won't believe how much i payed for 3 dozens of kids that fall in line into that ice cream vendor,i almost cry again,hahhahaha because i payed a lot,but see?after they finished, smile came out into their face just like nothing happen right?they know its my dad's day but because they were just kids they can easily forget and move on with their own kids life....(how i wish i could still do the same thing like my granddaughter and nephew).
