Throw Out Nonessential Numbers

HOW TO STAY YOUNG?

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle.
“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.” And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5.  Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and Lots of time
with HIM/HER.

6. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive.

7.  Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

8. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country,but NOT to where the guilt is.

9. Don’t drink to excess. While studies have shown that a single drink each day might not harm health — and might even have some beneficial effects — too much alcohol can damage almost every organ in the body and weaken the immune system.

10. Protect yourself from the sun’s deadly rays. Age is a risk factor for skin cancer.To lower your risk, try to avoid unnecessary sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. And when you are outdoors, wear a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15.

11.Don’t smoke. Quitting reduces your risk of heart disease almost immediately, and over the years also reduces your chance of getting lung diseases, including cancer.

12. Maintain a healthy weight. Avoid coronary heart disease and other killer conditions associated with being overweight by keeping your weight in check: Eat fruits and vegetables and limit your intake of fat and calories. And work out regularly, being sure to combine stretching for flexibility, aerobics for endurance and weight training for strength.

Puros Sana Kung Mag Mahal!

<_> Ilang beses ko na sinabi sa sarili ko na
hinding-hindi na kita mamahalin,
ngunit tuwing nakikita kita laging sinasabi ng puso ko
“hanggang ngayon mahal pa din kta. Di yun magbabago!”

<_> Napangiti ka na ba niya dahil andyan sya?
Nabuo na ba araw mo? Pakiramdam mo ba sya na?

<_> mas mahirap ang umasa na isang araw mamahalin
ka rin ng mahal mo dahil sa bawat pagkakataon na
nalalaman mong may mahal syang iba at hindi ikaw.
di ba sagad hanggang buto ang sakit?

<_> Nagpapasalamat ka ba dahil nakilala mo sya?
Siguro “oo” sagot mo…E pano yan.. Mahal ka ba niya?

<_> Nasaktan ka ba ng malaman mong may mahal na kong iba?…
Pasensya na ha..ayoko na kasing umasa…
pagod na rin kong maghintay…
pero makakatulong ba kung sabihin kong…
handa ko siyang iwan para sa yo….

<_>kahit gaano ko kalakas isigaw
sa buong mundo kung gaano pa rin kita kamahal,
hindi mo ito maririnig dahil iba na mundo mo

<_> dati ang saya saya natin dati di
matapos yung mga kwentuhan dati sobrang dami nating
alam sa isa’t-isa pero dati lng pala yon!!!! ngayon…….
iba na ang lahat……..

<_> Minsan, hirap din pala magpahalaga sa isang tao..
yun tipong lagi ka andyan para sa kanya,
kasama sa gitna ng gyera, karamay sa problema..
Tapos 1 araw, magigising ka na lang…iniwan ka rin pala!!!

<_> Aalis ako kasi may iba kang gusto..
.Aalis ako kasi alam kong mahal mo cya at mahal ka rin nya..
.Aalis na lang ako ha?
Kasi sa tingin ko,masaya ka na…
Pero babalik din ako…Pag iniwan ka nya

<_> Der are times in my life that i just want 2 give up & let lose,
but have you ever thought why I’m still here fighting against depression..?
Kse andyan ka e… Wag mo ko iiwan ha..! Bibigay ako

<_> Sabi mo andyan ka lang..Pero bakit wala ka?
Sabi mo di mo ko iiwan..Pero asan ka?
Sabi mo mahal mo ko..Pero bakit d ko maramdaman?
Yun pala sinabi mo lang lahat yun..
Para d ako masaktan.

<_> Pag sobrang lapit mo sa isang kaibigan,
matutunan mo syang mahalin noh?
Kaya wag kang lalapit sa akin ha?
At baka mahalin kita…
tapos yun pala para sayo “friend” mo lang  ako.

Fall For You

By: Secondhand Serenade

The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start

Oh, But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I’m yours to keep
And hold on to your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you’re asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you
Over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day
I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find
