the good old days

2008-04-22T13:20:00.002+08:00

i flip thru' all the old letters that i kept in a treasure box.
we used to write letters, frenship book if u can recalled.
reading all this bring back the old memories.
now i cannot understand, when we are studying,
where the hell did we get so much time?
writing different frenship books, replying so many letters.
and we are so generous with our "i miss you" "will be missing you"
doing little things like colored seashells, folding lucky stars, bookmarks.
God knows where we get all the creative ideas and time from.

let me share article number 1,
*i cried when i see this the 1st time, i cried AGAIN when i saw this the 2nd
it was in a ugly looking envelope with some lousy torn piece of paper.
telling me how fortunate she was to have me
telling me how she hates to leave me
telling me she doesn't have a choice but to leave me
telling me she's giving everything to me
telling me to give $200 to the one she loves so that the someone can buy disc man & the POA top *hey disc man n POA used to be very "IN"

i cannot stop crying now. i really HATE her for doing this.
but i still love her.

article number 2,
this person used to share so many things with me, including my darkest secret.
i guess the only thing that we did not share is undies.. lol
the same things she always say whenever we had a fight.
"i missed all the good old times we used to have"
"i'm so fortunate to have u"
"i thank God for giving me such a fren and hope our frenship lasts.
No matter wad happen or may happen may we spent our days together well."

i shall not continue... emotion is my another weakness.. *damn

The Leap Years

2008-02-29T02:20:00.000+08:00

Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. In many of today's cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. Society doesn't look down on such women. However, that hasn't always been the case. When the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on one day every four years. That day was February 29th.

St. Bridget's Complaint

It is believed this tradition was started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year.

February 29th in English Law

According to English law, February 29th was ignored and had no legal status. Folks assumed that traditions would also have no status on that day. It was also reasoned that since the leap year day existed to fix a problem in the calendar, it could also be used to fix an old and unjust custom that only let men propose marriage.

The first documentation of this practice dates back to 1288, when Scotland passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. They also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a leap year must pay a fine. The fine could range from a kiss to payment for a silk dress or a pair of gloves.

Sadie Hawkins Day

In the United States, some people have referred to this date as Sadie Hawkins Day with women being given the right to run after unmarried men to propose.

Sadie Hawkins was a female character in the Al Capp cartoon strip Li'l Abner. Many communities prefer to celebrate Sadie Hawkins Day in November which is when Al Capp first mentioned Sadie Hawkins Day.

Greek Superstition

There is a Greek superstition that claims couples have bad luck if they marry during a leap year. Apparently one in five engaged couples in Greece will avoid planning their wedding during a leap year.

2007-12-05T12:10:00.001+08:00

thank u for telling me tat u teat me as a soulmate before. looking back at the things that u done, i douth so. by the way, i dun feel that it was a so-called "misunderstanding". that day when u sms, u packed and go. that was my last straw. u didn't even think that i'll be hurt. it was a turning point of the 2yrs. anyway, watever that happen has happen. let it go. i'm happy with wat i have and the new people around me. and yes, i'm stronger than i tot i was. thanks for looking for me again, but i guess, i'm afraid of wat had happen and i dun wanna change nothing at all.

regards,
debbie

the so called soulmate!!!

2007-12-05T12:06:00.000+08:00

Hi debbie,

I know this may sound and look silly thinking, I was thinking whether will you please take some time to read what I have to say before you delete it away.

First of all, I would like to apology for those words i had said earlier to hurt you. I do not know how much you feel right now, but I really hope you take some time to read what I gonna say.

I kept having the same reocurring dreams about you and me, the time we spent, those bedtime gossips we used to share. The truth is I had never forget nor have I choose to let go despite those angry words. The misunderstanding we had before had not disminised nor great enough for me to say I want to let go of this friend who had once helped me to overcome all odds and tough time. Many times, I want to call you but was afraid of rejection. Well, given your character, you were the strong one.

I know I must hurt you with those angry words, but if you could, ponder over it for a second. I was just afraid to lose this friend of mine, I was uncertain and insecure with the new addition in our life respectively. But i guess, I was the paranoid one who had let all these take place. Writing you this email, thinking about the chances of you reading it kind of freaked me out right now. I do not want to live with this regret for the years to come. I am not hoping that you will changed your mind right now, but I want to let you know that you have always been an amazing pillar of support and a wonderful soulmate of mine in my heart. I had already missed those two golden years with you and I do not want to miss it again..

Take care my friend, I am glad to have you in my life before and if suppose I do not have this chance again, I wish you all the best in whatever you do in life, sincerely.

Regards,

elaine

paris

2007-11-26T02:21:00.000+08:00

i felt different this time, althou i'm at paris, a place where many would love or wanna be.. i felt different here. maybe it's b'cos i didn't come with the people that i love. i felt lonely here. i feel like going home. i miss everyone back there. it could be also b'cos most of the crew know each other and they are very closed, the bond they had, that made me feel i'm alone here. will i feel the same for the next flight?

There are times I felt disgusted by some action/reaction/comments that some of the batchies gave. However, like wad some said, “No matter wad, we are still 919.” I cannot say that I’ll miss all of u guys but at least I will miss 919.

cracked pot

2007-05-26T19:15:00.000+08:00

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water, at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, becaus! e this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

2007-03-02T15:50:00.000+08:00

[happiness is something i choose in advance. whether or not that i like it, it doesn't depend on the surrounding. - rather, it depends on how i decide or see it.]

[i can choose. i can spend my days in bed enumerating all the difficulties that i have with the parts of my body that no longer work very well, or i can get up and give thanks to heaven for those parts that are still in working order.]
