Next week is my father’s birthday and I’m giving him a gift certificate in one of the hotels Las Vegas where he can have a spa and relax day. I thank God for giving my father, for his depth love for me and his great sacrifices for us his family. May he bless my father with peace of soul, healthy body and success in his work. Happy birthday dad!

Friendliness comes from sympathetic human relations and respect that is transformed into affection and eventually builds firm friendships. It is the outward cheerfulness, interest on people and willingness to share one’ self to others that leads to friendliness. There are people who are easy to befriend with while others are so close with their own world they don’t give a damn on others. This is where your friendliness is tested. I guess by just being yourself and your willingness to share yourself with them will help them open up. I believe that it takes honesty of intentions to open doors of friendships.

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time…

Let us then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate,

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labor and to wait.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A Psalm of Life

I had a reunion with my high school friends here in my house 2 days ago. Nobody didn’t want to miss this once in a blue moon get together. I was the one who gathered them all for an overnight. Thank God nobody was busy enough to ask for an excuse. For the whole day and all night, all we did was to reminisced our high school days. We were all laughing about ourselves while scanning our yearbook. Sheila’s motto was the overly used, “If others can, why can’t I ?“ Lisa’s dream is to be a real estate agent so that she could rub elbows with the rich and famous members of the society- whoa! We were asking her where did she get that idea? She said she copied it from another school’s yearbook. And the funniest motto was Anne’s. To be a nurse so that I could marry a doctor! Hahaha!

Though it was tiring we were all happy when we parted ways. And just this morning, they were all asking me to plan another get together!
