this is a good one ... i just want to share this with you
Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'
The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'
Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.' 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.' Puff! She's gone.
'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'
Puff! He's gone.
'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough str ength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.
While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.
The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story: (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
Then people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
It's been a year since we welcomed you to a story of pictures whose meaning lays underneath the series of smiles ... touches ... expressions ... and unspoken words ... Of Laughter and Tears ... Of Anger and Peace ... Of Intrigues and Truths ... and through all of these ... THE HEIGHTENED HOPE AND THE HARD WORK that ensued ... So that this journey of ME will unravel further than any story or past that we so happily left behind ... and how ME's story will have no end ...
PS: For some snapshots of the story ... look for dearez over at multiply ...
when we were on our way to work early this morning ... and as the traffic was moving so slow ... i got bored with watching the cars (and the cute drivers with their flashy cars )... so I decided to get the newspaper at the back seat of the car and started answering the fun page ... after getting bored again from doing so ... i tossed the newspaper carelessly at the back of the car again with my dadee silently following with his eyes where it landed (because its really in my nature that whenever i got bored with something I just toss it anywhere I like to ... and he would just quietly pick up the mess I made) ... after a second of suddenly realizing what I did ... and my dadee saying nothing about it ... i suddenly blurted out laughing so hard ... and innocently asked him “paalaga ba ako” ... and he answered shyly (sya pa nahiya) “di naman” ... and i said sweetly “ayaw mo nun kahit wla sa iyo mga anak mo pra ka na ring may anak” ... and he answered laughing while in disbelief “mee … wag nman yng age 34 na pero prang 4 year old child pa rin!” ... and I just laughed out loud more and hugged him tightly I just love him
been busy these past few weeks ... after that traumatic incident that happened last february 20 ... my dadee decided (upon my request ) to have a "home" near my workplace ... we hopped from one condo unit to another just to find a home that would suit my taste ... we were able to visit around 10 ... showrooms ... it took us weeks of discussions on why we should / shoudn't consider that condo ... and at last ... we both agreed on this unit... and so this day .... saturday the 15th of march 2008 ... he gave the down-payment for our future home ... thebeacon.com.ph/index.php?content=beacon-home ... i told him not to regret getting a two bedroom unit .... just think that it is his bday gift to himself come 20th of march
what's next? ... dadee told me that he would get me a PTC ... and i promised him that i would "seriously" learn how to drive
so to my friends ... see you when i finished doing what needs to be done ...
