Summer Still Here......

Summer is still here so we can still enjoy a big glass of halo halo to refresh the summer heat. Weather Stations says it's the rainy season now but it's still getting hotter everyday.
At Ugu Bigyan Pottery and Garden we enjoy a refreshing glass of halo halo unlike those we usually get from chowking and goldilocks .
A halo halo experience you will get only during those younger days all ingredients taste not from canned or bottled produce.

You don't love lightly. For you, love is always a serious undertaking.
However, you are able to love many types of people. You can bring out the best in almost anyone.
Love surprises you often. You never know when or where you'll find it next.

A repost from 2006

Loving Someone from a distance....

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to been slaved by our own selfish concerns.

Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the man you love but the man who loves you more. The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being.

To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that keep in your heart.

Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let you grow with wisdom in bearing it. You may found peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow.

We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today. There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves.

You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speaks for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow: If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love. Cry, if you have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you.

Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it
does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.

"THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE"

     "THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE"
    Living on Earth is expensive,
    but it does include a free trip
    around the sun every year.
             
    How long a minute is
    depends on what side of the
    bathroom door you're on.
             
     Birthdays are good for you;
     the more you have,
     the longer you live.
            
     Happiness comes through doors you
     didn't even know you left open.
            
     Ever notice that the people who are late
     are often much jollier
     than the people who have to wait for them?
           
     Most of us go to our grave
     with our music still inside of us.
         
     If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day,
     how come nothing is free yet?
                     
     You may be only one person in the world,
     but you may also be the world to one person.
             
      Some mistakes are too much fun
     to only make once.
                              
     Don't cry because it's over;
     smile because it happened.
                       
     We could learn a lot from crayons:
     some are sharp, some are pretty,
     some are dull, some have weird names,
     and all are different colors....but
     they all exist very nicely in the same box.
           
     A truly happy person is one who
     can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
         
     Have an awesome day, and
     know that someone
     who thinks you're great
     has thought about you today!..
                
     "And that person was me.".....
