BeaUtiFuL MeMOriEs..... Aug 17, 2005 7:00 am Mood: peaceful, 752 Views Whenever i think of KHOTI...... peace always come upon me. Memories of him always bring a smile on face or a tear on my eyes. He may think i'm being corny, but khoti being khoti; i bet he'll wearing a silly grin right now; saying "Si Iris talaga o!". As a LoViNg MeMOriaL i dEdicate thIs to My AnGeL Malcolm "Khoti" Orpeneda I LoVE YOu I love you not only for what you are, but for what i am when i'm with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. I love you for putting your hand into my heaped- up heart, and passing over all the foolish and frivolous and weak things which you cannot help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful, radiant belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool and weakling in me, and for laying firm hold on the possibilities of good in me. I love you for closing your eyes to the discords in me, and for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening. I love you because you are helping me to make the lumber of my life not a tavern but a Temple, and the words of my every day not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy. YoU HaVe DoNe iT bY BeInG YoUrSelF. Perhaps that's what Love MeaNs aFter All!! Anonymous Khoti was such a special person A memory so beautiful worthy to be reminisce. I know where he is; there is true bliss, And eternal peace..... In the loving arms of Our Father. PSALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd;I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul;He leads`me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil;for You are with me;Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;and i will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. photo: Simply Khoti photographer unknown 5 Comments

eaRLy MorNing CoNTemPLatiON........ Aug 16, 2005 3:42 am Mood: contemplative, 877 Views its 6am in the morning eastern time, still sleep have been elusive; told myself might as well do something worthwhile. Browsing through the my friends blogs, i came upon sis Jan's advice line. Question was " How Do You Keep the Love Alive?" This made me stop and think. After two relationships that didn't work out this question requires a deep contemplation on my part. Here's what i come up with: ( Hope this make sense) How to keep the love alive, hmmmm a phenomena i haven't figure out yet. Basta all i know is that if love is true, the fire will never ebb. Even if it's under the ashes, give it a little blow and it will smoulder again. Love will always be there despite the doubts and the what ifs, just keep the line of communication open. I'll live you with this words from the Scriptures sis! I Corinthian Chapter 13: Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy;love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth; Bear all things, believes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS. Hmmmmm.......... photo: Prairie Dog Playing Around Taken by me Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota, also known as " The Badlands" 64 Comments

Sharpening my rustic mind...... Aug 15, 2005 4:59 am Mood: disappointed, 847 Views Alone in my room thinking how to write my first blog post... i find myself at lost. With a soothing music on the background and a beautiful picture i took on my travel to the Dakotas, i found my mind empty of ideas to scribble. I started thinking... when did i last write my thoughts? Heck its been a long time! Maybe been busy searching adventure or maybe i lack the inspiration. Whatever happen to the Ice i know who only have books for company or a journal to write what's on her mind. Is she lost or just hiding underneath? Did she hibernated because she'd been hurt that she need the time to recuperate??? Or she just need sharpening because she'd been under waters that the oxides have started to eat her up? or maybe its already eight in the morning and she hasn't sleep yet!!! Oh well..... i have to wrap this up!! I'm not making any sense at all! My muse is missing have to look for it! So long...... photo: Before the Thunderstorm Taken by me Medora, North Dakota 40 Comments
