Hey There!!!....SMILE!!!...u got a good reason..

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized,
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile just like mine,
could travel the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.

Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

I Have Learned...

I've learned..
..That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes..so use it wisely..cos u never know when you're gonna fall short..

I've learned..
..That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for..in retrospect we're much better off without it..just tht we realise it much later in life..

I've learned..
..That money doesn't buy class..or brains..or style..or love..or friends..the things that really count in life..

I've learned..
..That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular..so much more meaningful..tht much more worth living..

I've learned..
..That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved..its just a question of looking deep enough to see whats under there..

I've learned..
..That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?..why do i think i can outdo God???

I've learned..
..That to ignore the facts does not change the facts..ignoring them doesnt make them disappear either..so might as well learn to face up to them..

I've learned..
..That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you..Why let that A** take up more of your time and energies??..Lose the ideas in there..

I've learned..
..That love, not time, heals all wounds..All you need is a lil TLC..trust me on this one..Hugs,Kisses and everythin tht comes with them makes everything muchos better..

I've learned..
..That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere..there simply isnt enough room for the two of them at the same time..be satisfied with who you are and what you have..everything else will just fall into place after that..

I've learned..
..That I wish I could have told those I cared about that I love them one more time before they passed away..i know how much it means to have someone tell you that..it just lights up ur day..wish i could have done for them what they did for me & let them kno just what a huge impact they have had in my life and all tht they meant to me..

I've learned..
..That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them..Just remember this..what goes around always comes around..maybe not today or tomorrow..but it sure does somewher down the line..

I've learned..
..That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks..moreover..smilin is the second best thing you can do with your lips..*wink wink*

I've learned..
..That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it..i can either just brood over my feelings..or i can act upon them..things may or may not turn out the way i wanted them to..but atleast i know i tried..that i made the effort..i gave it my all..and that i wont ever have to deal with the "what if....?" someday down the line..

I've learned..
..That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness, and growth happen while you're climbing it..its not the destination but the journey that matters in the end..

World view..

Your World View

You are a fairly broadminded romantic and reasonably content. You value kindness and try to live by your ideals. You have strong need for security, which may be either emotional or material. You respect truth and are flexible. You like people, and they can readily make friends with you. You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you.

What Is Your World View?

Is this the thing that gets the Stalkers on track??

You Are a Coy Flirt

You may not seem like you're flirting, but you know exactly what you're doing. You draw people in, very calculatingly, without them even knowing. Subtle and understated, you know how to best leverage your sex appeal. A sexy enigma, you easily become an object of obsession.

What Kind of Flirt Are You?

The Rural trip...

The trip was one of the best things that has happened to me..in around forever..before the trip..wasnt sure if i should go..or if i even wanted to go..didnt want to have to make a wrong decision..one that i would regret later incase things got ugly on the trip..or atleast ugly enough for me to beat myself up over it later..wanted to hold off the decision making part till i would be forced into making one so that i could then put the entire thing squarely on destiny..watever happened..good or bad(though knowing myself..i was thinkin BAD)

well..went on the trip..met really wonderful people..not just the people who came with me from colleg but also the kids and people there..made some of the most amazing friends..had an awesonely wonderful time..in fact didnt wanna leave and come back home..

teaching the kids was one of the most enriching and wonderous experiences in my entire life..the joy of sharing the knowledge you have with someone and seeing them benefit from watever little you have given them is immmense..difficult to put it into words..simply amazing..the people out there in the villages are truly some of the most wonderful people you would ever meet..they are really loving, hospitable,kind and generous..nothin close to the steroetypical notions that we usually have of people in the villages..we were witness to some of their rituals and ceremonies..the pen which is a ceremony tht they hv when they dont hv enough money to hv a proper wedding but the boy n girl live together after tht and conduct their life together in the same fashion as people would normally do after a wedding..sometime they even get married on the same day as their kids..so its a kind of legalised live in relationship..we also visited the nearby vilages and stayed with a family for a night..went village hopping..met the others hu wer in nearby villages..had a lot of fun..

went to other villages and witnessed first hand the kind of life they lead..the people and their occupations,the govt measures taken to help them,the kind of work done by NGOs,how tht benefits the people etc. (watershed devpt proj,self help groups etc.)

also..climbed trees..went for hikes..moonlit walks..had a bonfire..sang songs..played spin the bottle,word association,in my pink pyjamas,truth n dare etc..ate karvandas,cashew fruits,papayas,raw mangoes,fresh honey(mmmm..yumm!!) etc..took a walk down to the riverbed(though dried up)..experienced first hand the joys of strawberries and cream(aaaahh..sheer bliss! *dreamy expression..)..cooked for the jesuit community and the sisters..learned teh tribal dances..got named fastest learner and best dancer by FRUN(Fr.Arun) cos i was teh only one who danced frm the start to the end..cleaned 30kgs of potatoes..cooked on firewood for 120ppl..hmmm..wat else???..cant seem to remember..but all in all did a lot of things tht i hadnt done before..so an awesome,amazing,enriching experience..wouldnt dream of trading it for the world!!!!...*grins from ear to ear..

The explanation...

Well firstly..was gone for around 11 days to a village in rural maharashtra..then came back and just kept goin out with friends..catchin up with the old ones and hangin out with the new ones..which to be quite honest has been a blast!!!!..went out for dinner..had an overnight party..go to college regularly..to hang out with frnds again..things like tht..then goin our for movies..out to celebrate my parents anniversary..so basically been out of the house for most of the time and cant seem to find the time needed to be here as often as i should be..now that i have gotten that outta my system..there are other things that just have to be elaborated on and they need their own posts to do them the necessary justice..so..well..will keep putting them up..need to give each one my full personal attention..so may take time..though not as long as the little hiatus tht i had frm here..

In my next life i wanna be..

In this life I'm a woman.

In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear.
When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.

When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping, and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.

If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.

If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. "Yup...gonna be a bear." .

Kids say the darndest things..

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
* Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
* Kirsten, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
* Camille, age 10
No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
* Freddie, age 6

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
* Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
* Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
* Lynnette, age 8
On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
* Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
* Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
* Pam, age 7
The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
* Curt, age 7
The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
* Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
* Theodore, age 8
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
* Anita, age 9

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
*Kelvin, age 8

"And the #1 Favorite is........"

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
*Ricky, age 10

5 important lessons in life..

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke.
I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance, and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached.. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away... God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables.
Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road.
After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been.
The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek.
Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away". Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.
So, what important lesson did you need to be reminded of today? Truth is we all probably need to be reminded from time to time and..

Most importantly......
"Work like you don't need the money,
love like you've never been hurt,
and dance like you do when nobody's watching."

To a Keeper..

To A Keeper,
One day someone's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmthof their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimesthere isn't any more. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebratetogether, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away . . neverto return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you.
So while we have it . . . it's best we love it . . . and care for it . and fixit when it's broken . . . and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage. . and old cars . . . and children with bad report cards and dogs with bad hipsand aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it,because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate wegrew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special . . . and so, We keep them close!

isnt it ironic??

Just last week i was asked to write articles for a magazine..strangely..the more i think about it the less i can come up with something..before hearing about this task,i would be coming up with ideas till late at night..sometimes even wakin up in the middle of the night to write things down..ironically when i need it the most..my creative juices seem to have deserted me and ran out..
aaaaarggh!!!..now WHAT???..the worst part of all of it is that i also have a deadline to meet..so incase i dont meet it..basically..i am DEAD..HELLPP!!!

Just a thought...

i've heard this one song that just doesnt seem to get outta my head.especially this one line that goes.."then i woke up and i realised;that i was livin one big lie..."doesnt that make u wonder..practically every song on the radio or the tv has atleast one line that speaks about livin in an illusion..so that means that it isnt just a one off thing but a spreadin phenomenon..i mean is that all our lives hav come down to??livin in an illusionistic world..wher everythin is nothin but merely an illusion-a fantasy-a dream??a creation of our own neverland..wher u dnt ever wake up..a world so far away frm reality that u dnt kno wher the dream ends n reality begins(if it indeed ever does begin..?)??..its kinda freaky if that is true..like we r livin in a matrix of our own makin..except that thers no "neo" to save u but urself..when u realise that u r actually trapped in it..scary but true..isnt it??think about it..i kno i will.

Where has all the time gone???

AAh..Easter..comin up around the bend..like..tomoro..can hardly believe its already been a year..it seems like it was yesterday tht i was just finishing up with school..cant believe tht in another year i will be not only out of school but also out of college..just goes to show how time flies..or rather how the sands of time trickle through your fingers..you cant hold on to it or let it go completely(cos then it wouldnt be living)..but somehow without you realising it..its gone..a moment, a minute, a week , a month seems to jet past you in what seems like an instant..
today you seem to live life just for the heck of it..it aint like the yesteryears when every minute was cherished n treasured..when each day of life gave you plenty of unforgettable memories that added to the variety and richness of life..todays life is just a rat race..we're so caught up in getting to places that we fail to enjoy the journey gettin there..
just makes you stop and think doesnt it???..sometimes the yesteryears dont seem like such a bad place afterall..

Whew!!..No more exams..Frm here to there

Hey!!its been a long time since i posted anything in here..it seems to be an especially long time since i seem to have become addicted to bloggin..who would believe huh??..frm an avid anti-voyeurist to becoming a hard core blogger and exhibitionist..hehe
i didnt think i had it in me to exhibit such tendencies..i always thought of myself of being a chalk and cheese person..a traditionally conservative person..i guess Fr.Nigel had me correctly (and incorrectly)pegged..he told me that i was an anti-rebel..a goody goody girl..while i may be like that as far as taking important decisions is concerned..in everything else its more of a case of me against the system..
Guess its just a case of another brick in the wall huh??

Its all about living life to the fullest...

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend.

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

A Fabulous Understanding of GOD..

Hey guys!!i know i havent really been here in a while..but just to keep updatin up bout a few things..
Havent there been times when you have wondered the ever ambiguous question "WHO is God??".."why do we need to have him in our lives??"..and so on n so forth..the number of questions that we come up with can be endless..here is something that i had passed on to me by a friend..and i think that Danny has done an extremely wonderful job of answering our questions for us..
I don't think an adult(with all the so called wisdom that they are said to have)could have explained this more beautifully! THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY!!! It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework assignment, to "explain God."

EXPLANATION OF GOD:

"One of God's main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers." "God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has thought of a way to turn it off." "God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your mom and dad's head asking for something they said you couldn't have." "Atheists are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren't any who come to our church." "Jesus is God's Son. He used to do all the hard work, like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God. They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him But he was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn't know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said O.K." "His dad (God) appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told him he didn't have to go out on the road anymore.He could stay in heaven. So he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of himself without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more important." "You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time." "You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you want to make happy, it's God! Don't skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides the sun doesn't come out at the beach until noon anyway." "If you don't believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to know He's around you when you're scared, in the dark or when you can't swim and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids."
"But...you shouldn't just always think of what God can do for you. I figure God put me here and he can take me back anytime he pleases. And...that's why I believe in God."

ON BEING TWENTY - SOMETHING

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis"
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and
start realizing that there are many things about
yourself that you didn't know and may not like.

You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be
in a year or two, but then get scared because you
barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish, and that,
May be, those friends that you thought you were so close to
Aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met,
And the people you have lost touch with
Are some of the important ones.

What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too,
And aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere,
But that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job... and it is not even close to
what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are
looking for a job and realizing that you are going to
Have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger.
You see what others are doing
And find yourself judging more than usual
because suddenly you realize that you have certain
boundaries in your life and are constantly adding
things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.

One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly,
change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past
with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting
further and further away, and there is nothing to do
But stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you
loved could do such damage to you.
Or you lie in bed and wonder
Why you can't meet anyone decent enough that
You want to get to know better.

Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too
And cannot figure out why you are doing this because
You know that you aren't a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap.
Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over,
And talk with your friends about the same topics
because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans, money, the future and making a
life for yourself... and while winning the race would
be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

I believe...

I believe...

that you should always leave loved ones with loving words..It may be the last time you see them.

I believe...

that you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I believe...

that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I believe...

that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I believe...

that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

I believe...

that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I believe...

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I believe...

that sometimes though i have the right to be angry, it doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I believe...

that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I believe...

that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I believe...

that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I believe...

that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe...

that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I believe...

that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe...

that its not the extraordinary that makes life...but that little "extra" in the everyday ordinary

I believe...

that you should be what you are and say what you feel..cos the people who mind dont matter and those who matter dont mind..

Why do all good things come to an end??

Well I’m back again…a new day...a new question that I need to sort out...there’s a saying that goes—all good must come to an end...the question I’d like to ask is…WHY??...why do they need to come to an end??...why is it that if anyone has a good spell you find people telling them to “enjoy it while it lasts”…why is it that a good spell doesn’t last but if tough times come calling and decide to stay it is not that unusual…is it just because the world is so pessimistic that it thinks that good times don’t last??...or do we begrudge anyone with a better present than us that we become the sadists who ensure that the bubble is burst somehow, someway, eventually??...how can anyone be so sure??...i’m sure if we make the required effort they can and they will…or is it that we just don’t want to try?
