A Friend Indeed

What is Friendship? How do you measure a true friendship?

Based on my own experience, the best way to define Friendship denotes on how you treat an individual as a person. Friends, good or bad, may come your way, and will always be a part of your life. Sometimes, you tend to value wrong people unintentionally. The reason behind will let you understand why you chose to be with them. Everything happens for a reason, and your friend is not merely a coincidence. He was made to be with you, for he serves a purpose.

Memories through friendship are all treasures. It is when you start acting freely knowing the real you without pretension. In friendship, there will always a certain time of misunderstanding, disappointment, frustrations, and disagreement of opinions. However, this should not serve as a hindrance to your relationship towards each other. More often than not, you tend to utter words that simply damage ones' feeling during discussions. As a result, you were both sorry for the outcome which leads to lack of trust. Feeling sorry for what you have done does not lessen your dignity as a person. Somehow, in the end it will make you a better person, and would be able to manage such act.

True friendship does not give bearing to whatever status you have in life. It is priceless, and precious! It has no rules and boundaries. A true friend will understand you for who you are, accepts your weaknesses, laughs with you, and will extend his hand if needed.

As for me, I will always choose to see my friends for what they intended to be, and not what they have become.

Parenting

When you begin to carry an offspring inside your womb, all things in your life changes! You began to realized that Marriage is not only about you and your better half. Your priorities in life varies, and certain sacrifices arises along the way. Your beginning to experience Motherhood and physical changes takes place. Having a baby inside your own body makes you a complete woman. It is a symbol of your love towards each other which sooner or later will serve as a part of your foundation to form a Family.

Parenting is a very crucial and demanding job, yet rewarding in the end. More often than not, we failed to do our responsibilities as a parent. It is not because you prefer to deprive yourself from the result, but rather you are afraid that this would not make your child a better person someday. I, for one has failed to carry out my mission as a parent due to some circumstances happened in my life. Although, there is always another chance for me to continue what I have started, and it will not halt me from doing so.

Parenting is a very long process, and until now me and my husband are learning from these experiences. There are ways to consider on how to raise your own children, however, you have to consider that every child carries a unique characteristic. A child needs a level of diplomacy and discipline in a manner to which he can absorb easily. The fact is, in reality it is not that easy to raise a child of your own. During younger years, they would listen to you, and prefer to obey you for they all depend and rely upon you. But once they become adults, their choices and priorities diverge into their own beliefs. Sometimes, this leads to conflict of interest between you and your child. They become disrespectful in many ways, and do terrible things to get what they wanted according to what they believe is right.

No parents would want their child to suffer a horrible and dangerous life. It is the true will of every parent to protect his child from any danger. Nevertheless, there are certain situation in a child's life that only him can resolve the issues. We are only here to guide and support according to our utmost extent. They may not simply understand the importance of our mission. But sooner or later, once they become parents, it is now their chance to build a family of their own. In the long run, complicated or not, they will soon accept the fact that being a parent is truly a rewarding experience!

Of All the things you wear, your expression is the most important....

Married Life

Marriage is a "BIG" word, and considered to be the most important part of my journey. I got married at an early stage knowing that it would make a difference in my life. Apparently, it does showed me bountiful experiences, and these so called "experiences" are what makes people totally unique from each other. It may be comparable in some ways, however, it will always be exceptional in terms of dealing with your own relationship.

Being married connotes acceptance of responsibility, with a great deal of adjustment towards your partner. I will not talk about my married life for I want it to remain private to give respect to our present relationship. Instead, I will share with you the things I have learned for the past few years of being married.

First, it is normal for a couple to fight and disagree with a lot of things. Having an extremely distinctive characteristics, it is just about right that each opinion must be heard. Obviously, one thinks that one's opinion is better than the other. This is where argument comes in your life without asking for it. Now, the question is how are you going to compromise? Easy at it may seem, but it is definitely hard! One has to give, and one has to understand. And when that happens, this is the time you will say that only LOVE can defeat a broken relationship.

Second is Acceptance. We all make mistakes, and nobody in this world would dare to say that "Hey, I am perfect! In any relationship, there's always a time in your life wherein you make the wrong decisions. You somehow think it is the best decision, but you are not very much aware about the consequences it will bring into your life. Yet, there are people who get affected and partly suffered on the outcome. But it would be worthless to regret everything and rather learn from your mistakes. Acceptance will never happen if you will not open your heart. It is always right to give a second chance to the person you love most. LOVE is beautiful yet painful! However, without these pain and heartaches, it will not make you a better person. LOVE is unconditional, it has an underlying ingredient that makes the relationship successful!

Marriage is a "BIG" word, that is so true! But for the people who are deeply in love, Marriage is a "MAGIC" word!

First Time

The First Time I saw you
My heart begins pounding
Your eyes speak through my soul
As thy emotions flows with affection

A feeling of desire embodied my veins
Flowing like water running into the deepest sea
Wind blows as I feel the warmth of your embrace
Longing that this would never end

Read thy lips, whispering the words I long to hear
Holding on to a promise no matter how tough the world may seem
For as long as our LOVE prevails
Our passion stay in our hearts Forever.

OUR LOVE

Celebrating our 21st Anniversary

Lost and lonely lives
Floating like waves at sea
We make it day by day
Watching the world go by

In a moment where time stands still
From here we look out on forever

Chorus:
Darling, our love
One love that never fades away
Our love
This love will light the world on it's way

Shattered, broken dreams
Sifting like grains of sand
We claim it and here we stay
Watching the world go by

With the strength that we spend in this life
In the hope that it goes on forever
We believe as we promise to try, that

Chorus:

In a moment when time stands still
From here we look out on forever
And we can see all that time will tell

Single Life

My Single life was a little less exciting compared to others. Being so naive and innocent, I was only instructed to attend school then go back straight home. We were not allowed to spend extra hours doing some curricular activities in school. Otherwise, you would see my Father in our campus looking for us, and will definitely make our day! However, this did not serve as a hindrance for me in joining school activities like choir group, dancing programs, and other school presentations. It was then marked as my stepping stone to build up camaraderie among others.

I had my first infatuation, first giggle moment, and even a first date! I continued to live a normal life with full of limitations. Despite of having strict parents, I was able to manage spending time with my close friends, and teachers at the campus. It was still fresh in my memory when I had to come up with a good plan in order to attend the Junior & Senior Prom in High School. I even made it to the highlights of the event, and was given a title for winning the second runner-up in the Prom night. It was an overwhelming experience on my part knowing that it was going to be the first, and the last party in my entire life!

College days, on the other hand was more exciting and extremely fun! I get to mingle with other people, and be with my best friends on and off the university. I enrolled in an Architecture course which I personally chose for my heart told me so. I began to love drawings and drafting! It gave me even more enthusiasm when I made my first floor plan. When just about time I was enjoying it, I had to shift to another course. For financial reasons I was not very much aware of, my sister had to change my course into another field which is Commerce Management. Oh, sometimes you need to put aside your personal intentions, and do whatever feels right for you and your family.

There were many untold stories about my single life...and it will remain a mystery for those who who do not know me personally. For now, life has to go on, let's move on to the next journey!

Wish I could fast forward my life to know the ending of my story...Then, rewind it from the best chapter and play it again!

My Childhood

As a child, my life evolved in a simple way of living. I was the 2nd to the youngest, and I belong to a large family with 1 brother and 13 sisters. I was not aware on how my brother and sisters were brought up by my parents. However, they always say that life was hard and complicated compared to what we have right now.

I must say that during our times, we were brought up in a "Military way" by our Father. It is a must for us to wake up early in the morning like 3:00 AM to do our household chores before going to school at 7:00 AM. I was too young then, and staying on bed for as long as I can has never been a part of my liberty. I had no choice but to follow instructions. I can still remember the times when I need to clean the front garden by sweeping all the dried leaves. I was then afraid because it was still dark outside and I had no one beside me. There were even bats flying on top of my head because they love eating the fruits of our trees. Next task would be the feeding of doves and chickens at the backyard. Since I was so young, and scared with the beaks of these animals, I will throw the food inside the cage as fast as I can. Boy, every time I think about these memories, I just put a smile on my face! I never imagined that growing up would be full of hardship and chores...But then again, it was indeed a good way of disciplining ourselves!

First Day

Today, the very first day I will write my own blog. Honestly, I have no idea on how I am going to start, but I hope this would help me in expressing myself in writing. Please bear with me for now...

As I go along, I will promise to make this blog interesting for you and for my readers. It would be fun to share my experiences on the things I do, and the things that I would love to do for the next few years.

"All About Life" is mainly all about my life and the life of the people around me.

Feel free to follow me on my first journey....Wish me Luck!!!
