never take them for granted

"never take someone for granted. hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.."
What does this quote really means? For whom is this quotes about. Is it for a friend? a family one? or to the one you love? So often, relationships are taken for granted. Certain people become so much a part of us, that we tend to either think they'll always be where we can find them when we need them, or that they're a permanent fixture in our lives that we'll never lose them. But we must remember, all things in life need nurturing, care and a certain degree of effort on our part.
To a friend who is taken for granted. Sometimes we think that our friends will always be there for us. This maybe true but we forgot sometimes that they have also feelings. We forgot them when we are happy and see them when we are sad. Sometimes we drifted away those who really loves us and care for us and give more importance to those who are not a real friend to us. Do not forget that as we taking them granted there is a tendency that one day when we realized how important that friend is, He or She is no longer in our life.
To a parents to their child or a child to their parents. We are all busy working and we one day we will find that a lot of time passed by in us without valuing those people important to us. Parents worked so hard for the future of their children and no longer have time to be with them. Children grew up with their yaya and the parents have no time to play with them. They are taking their children granted and forgot to think that they will also grew up so fast. When they realized that they wanted to play it is now too late. On the other side when the children now grown up and have their own job, they tend to forgot to visit their parents. All they know is as long as they will provide money for their parents it is okay. Never take them granted because there may come a day when you will find yourself without them, either by death or that they are already too old.
To the one we love, either your girlfriend/boyfriend, wife/husband. Sometimes when we get the person we desire to be with we can become relax on the relationship. Thinking that the relationship will last forever without giving an effort to it. When the moment we get them we tend to do the other things we desire and forgot them. Keep in mind that not everyday they are with us. Maybe one day we realized that they no longer love us.
To God. In essence we take for granted what God has given us. We treat our national blessings as though we have always had them and as though we deserve them. And we neglect to live by the rules that build and govern our nation's relationship with God. When we are happy and everything is okay we tend to forgot God and give thanks to him but when we are in deep pain we ask God for us to be heal. When we need something we asked God to give this to us and when we are in confussion we asked God to guide us. In general we were very careful not to be complacent, or neglectful, or to take God for granted in any way.

Never take anyone for granted, whether it be a friend, a lover or partner, a family member or God, because there may come a day when you will find yourself without them, either by death or that they never felt a part of your life and therefore drifted away. Nurture all relationships to the best of your ability. Make those you love feel important and wanted in your life, a TRUE part of your life. You can only feel that much more blessed.

remembering those days

"Congratulations anak..I'm so proud of you" yan ang madalas kong makita ngayon sa wall ng aking facebook. Meron pa nga pati honors or award na nakuha ng anak nakalista o kaya mga studyanteng nagpapaalaman na kasi gagraduate na sila. Paramihan din ng pagkuha ng picture, REMEMBRANCE kung baga.. Kanya kanyang emosyon. Haizzzz di ko maiwasang di maalala ang mga masasayang araw. Ang feeling kapag ikaw mismo ang nakakaranas nito.

Labing isang taon na pala ang nakakaraan mula noong nagtapos ako ng high school. Parang kahapon lang nangyari yun dahil sariwang sariwa pa rin sa aking ala-ala. High school life. Isa sa pinakamasayang taon ng buhay ko. Dito ko nakilala ang mga una kong naging kaibigan, mga kaibigang tunay. Dito ko naranasan ang unang mainlove, unang masaktan, unang pagkakamali, nadapa at bumangon sa tulong ng aking kaibigan.

High school life on my high school life every memory kay ganda. High school days on my high school days so exciting kay saya. High school life ba't ang high school life ay walang kasing saya? BAKIT KUNG GRADUATION AY LULUHA.KANG TALAGA??? ;(

To all my friends during my high school days, thank you for all the memories.

ang biyahe ng buhay

"Bilisan mo magbihis maiiwanan na tayo ng bus" yan ang lagi kong naririnig sa umaga kapag papasok na ang mga tao sa trabaho o kaya "anong oras yung sasakyan naming bus?" kapag may okasyon naman. Hay naku nakakamiss ang biyahe sa pinas, doon 24/7 kahit anong oras, minuminuto merong masasakyan. Di tulad dito may oras ang bawat daan ng bus, kapag di mo nakuha un bus kailangan mo ulit maghintay.

Naaalala ko pa noong nag aaral ako sa manila, hate na hate ko kapag naassign kami sa malayong hospital paniguradong kailangan mong magising ng maaga para lang di matraffic at malate. Gustong gusto ko noon kapag umaga ang duty namin un 6-2 kasi kapag sa ganoong oras ala pang masyadong traffic di kagaya kapag naabutan ka na ng 8am sa daan. Sa umaga din kasi okay pa mga tao may ngiti pa sa mga labi, amoy shampoo at pabango pa di tulad sa hapon amoy pawis na nga mahahalata mo pang pagod na sila dahil lahat sila nakasimangot na. Sa umaga todo ayos pa ang mukha samantalang sa hapon may oily na ang mukha, basa ang damit sa pawis, at yung iba naman tuyot na ang bibig.

Sa umaga kahit nagsisiksikan na para lang makasakay at makarating sa pupuntahan ay puro nakangiti pa rin dahil baon nila ay puno ng pag asa na magkakaroon ng magandang bunga ang maghapon nila pero pagdating sa hapon iba na ang itsura ng mga tao. Meron mga galit na kasi gustong gusto na nilang makauwi. Sa umaga gising na gising ang diwa ng mga tao samantalang sa hapon kung pwede nga lang maglatag na ng higaan sa sasakyan gagawin maipahinga lang ang hapong katawan.

Napakaganda ng binibigay ng umaga sa ating buhay dahil dito tayo nagsisimula. Sabi nga sa kasabihan "bagong umaga bagong pag-asa". Ngunit meron din naman naiibigay ang hapon sa atin, sa hapon may pagkakataon tayong magnilay nilay sa mga nagawa natin sa buong araw upang maitama ito sa darating na umaga. Ang hapon ang nagbibigay ng daan upang maging maganda ang ating umaga.

"Ganito ang mensahe ng isang araw sa buhay ng tao… ang mundo ay totoong umiikot ng hindi natin namamalayan. Gigising tayo tuwing umaga upang sulitin ang maghapon. Sasakay sa jeep upang pumunta sa kung saan, at hindi natin namamalayan na hapon na at kailangan na ulit nating pumara sa isang araw ng BIYAHE NG BUHAY."-BLOG ONG

top 5 men of my life

Fathers are our role models in life. They are someone without whom our lives would not have been so beautiful. Fathers Day which falls on 19th of March this year here in italy is a special day to celebrate the spirit of fatherhood. Since not worlwide is celebrating today because Father's day real date is on June (don't know why here in Italy they are celebrating now) I'll make this blog not just to give thanks to my father but to commemorate the men of my life. So I am making my top five list of the men in my life.

I am proud to say that I am a lolo's girl ( lahat naman ata kami). Laking probinsya at pinalaki ng lolo at lola yan ang drama ko. I am so happy that I have such a loving lolo.

He just celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday (March 18). He is the only girl este boy among us siblings. Meet my brother MARIO JR. The first time I heard from Mama that she is pregnant and its a baby boy I feel excited and jealous at the same time. For ten years I am the bunso and suddenly someone will be replacing my position. But still greatfull to have him as my brother.

He is always on my list and always be. He will always be our first joyful. The reason among our smile. Even if i'll be going to be a mom someday his position in my heart and my life will never be replaced.

At first I am hesitant If I'll put him on the top list or my husband. Meet the first man in my life my father MARIO SR. He is the first man in my life, first inspiration, first source of strength, first love and first of everything. Even if I am married now and building my own family I will still be his number one fan and He will always be in my heart no matter what.

meet my husband Melanio Reyes. The love of my life. He is not only a husband to me but my bestfriend too and my soul mate. He is a blessing from above that should not be taken for granted. I love him more than words, more than life. I'm forever grateful for his love and proud to be his wife.

to grow old with you

Every woman dream to have the most romantic and memorable wedding. To be wed on their love of their life. What does Marriage really means? Marriage is the process by which two people who love each other make their relationship public, official, and permanent. It is the joining of two people in a bond that putatively lasts until death, but in practice is increasingly cut short by divorce.

When I was just in my teenage life I dream to have a perfect love life. Yung tipong sana yun unang boyfriend ko siya na sana (just like my tita). But as years goes by I realized life is not that perfect. There is still that moment you have to feel broken. I am now at my 27 and had only 3 boyfriends. Two heartbreaks and one lifetime commitment. Yes I am married now and we are celebrating our 14th monthsary today.

Before I dream to have a water wedding. A wedding at the middle of the sea. But that what not happened to me. I was married twice with the same person ofcourse and had the most memorable marriage anyone can have. The first one is when we celebrate our first year anniversary as a partner and few days before our flight so we decided to have our secret marriage which was taken inside the car of my tita and the second one is taken few days before my flight (see my blog article about this http://iamlydez.blogspot.com/2011/01/best-day-of-my-life.html). Eventhough I didn't have my dream wedding at least I am married to the man of my life.

To celebrate our monthsary 53months as partner and 14months as couple we decided to have our first date here in italy. But unfortunately our date turned to be a family lunch date because everyone joins us.

when I wake up this morning I had this one. yummmyyy..!!

college memories

I really like to write as well as to read. Mapa english books man or tagalog pocketbooks. From romance to thriller. Dan Brown and James Patterson are one of my favorite and Precious Heart Romance pocketbooks are my local ones. Sabi nga nila masyado daw akong addict sa pagbabasa because once i started reading ala na yun babaan kahit mapuyat pa ako. The latest book i read was PRIVATE by james patterson and i read it in just one night. I started at 9pm and finished it at 5am, ganun ako kaaddict.

But there is one book where in its the reason behind my likeness in reading. My college professor in Ethics gave us a project wherein we must read a book and after reading it he grouped us and let us make our own book review. Our final exam is about on this book also. Dahil sa mahilig akong magbasa i finished it in the alloted time at ako pa nakakuha ng pinakamataas na grado. From then on mas naengganyo na akong magbasa.
Tuesdays with Morrie is my all time favorite and the reason behind everything. The book is about on the fourteen Tuesdays Mitch was with morrie. Each Tuesday has its own topic.
Schwartz and Albom's conversations canvas acceptance, communication, love, values, openness, and happiness. Albom emphasizes the importance of forging a culture of one's own to transcend the tyranny of popular culture, suggesting that the media is preoccupied with death, hatred, violence and depression. Quoting his favorite poet, W. H. Auden, Schwartz insists we must "love each other or perish".
Throughout the text Albom's character changes as Schwartz's stories inspire him. Albom brings food to Schwartz at every visit, an affirmation of life and health. It is the only gift besides company that Albom is able to provide to Schwartz in his suffering.
