bitin
i just re-read that last post and it's so bitin. (bitin= cut short, so as to leave the reader hanging) well, it took me all freakin day to write that post. it shows posted at 10am or so, but i actually pushed the button at like 4pm. and i think by that point, i just wanted to be done with the post. i was writing during work and it's just been so busy. for me anyway, because i really wanted to get everything done with so that i could take tomorrow off. it turns out i'm still coming in for random little things that need to get done.
oh, i wanted to explain pikon from a post a long time ago. here is the definition. and an example from my life: when i was 7 years old, my dad was here in the states, while my mom and brother and i were still in the philippines. he sent me a game of monopoly. we had no such game in the philippines and of course, i treasured it. i played almost every night with my yaya (nanny) and knew the game rules well. so we brought the game to a family party and i was trying to teach my uncles how to play, but they were just being silly and weren't really paying attention. well, there are kind of a lot of rules in monopoly; it's not the simplest of games, right? so they really didn't want to listen and just wanted to play. and i was getting quite frustrated and mad with them, getting sooo pikon and inis (irritated) with all of them for not playing the game right and i started crying to my mom, saying, "they're not playing right!!!" that is what pikon is, my friends. hahaha, i was so not fun, so can't just be silly, always gotta be by the rules. goodness... i hope some things have changed.

-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
