MIND over heart...

My heart wants to touch you, but my mind tells not to.
My heart wants to hold you but my mind tells not to.
My heart wants to love you but my mind tells not to.
Which one I should obey?

I choose my heart, I’ll be happy
If I choose my mind, I’ll be lonely
I choose my heart, I’ll be with you
If I choose my mind, I’ll be on my own

But If I choose my heart, everything I’ve done will be wasted
I’ll be back in my state of being “weak”
But if I choose my mind, everything I’ve done will be worthy
And I’ll be in my old self, “tough”

If I choose my heart, meaning I choose you.
which give you the opportunity to hurt me again
I will be soak again in my old sentiments, my luck of trust
And history will repeat itself.

But if I choose my mind, meaning I choose loving myself first
I won’t allow you to hurt me again
Old sentiments will not be an issue, coz I don’t have to trust you at all
And I can think clearly to whom I give my love and trust.

Being with you doesn’t mean that I will be purely happy
Love without trust is useless.
You can’t have good relationship if one of that is missing
Not just I love you and you, just trusting me.

At the end of confusion, I choose my mind
I let myself go, and you should also let go
I have my own life now, and you should have your own
I'm happy right now, and hoping your happy too now


Because whatever happens, I will never let my heart won over my mind.

MESOTHELIOMA

A non-familiar word crossed my word when i was browsing a book regarding illness..The word is "MESOTHELIOMA"

What is a Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a malignant TUMOUR of the Pleura of the Chest cavity and also of the PERICARDUIM or PERITONEUM. It is usually associated with exposure to asbestos dust but may rise independently with no known cause. Mose mesotheliomas are in sites that render them inoperable, and CHEMOTHERAPY and RADIOTHERAPY are used but often with limited success.

I have read that there is no early symptoms of these illness. Sad to say it would be a diagnosed at its late stage. So if you are exposed in asbestos, it is advised to have a early check up or chest X-ray for early detection of the illness.

Post Graduate studies

This is where we are attending our masteral studies at Batangas State University. We're just five (5) in the class. Yes, just five MS CoE (computer engineering) Students. I am taking 3 subjects with 3 units each and 3 hours each subjects.




I decided to take my Masteral to refresh my mind of what i have studied in my undergraduate studies. It was stuck and i haven't used it since i graduated in college. Also, additional credentials for my job and soon to be jobs...

anyway, i'm with my Co-employee, Sir Jex..we take the same subjects..

I have these pictures while waiting for our professor..but sad to say, he was late and just appeared in our 2nd subject..

Im glad that i'm with Sir Jex., coz for sure if im just alone, i would be definitely bored waiting for my professor..

and being with him makes no dull moment..you wouldn't realize the time....he is one funny guy,.

By the way, he is also a blogger,.. you can check his site entitled "Talent Over Mastering".

Giving sad news to a troop

The Captain called the Sergeant in. "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private Jones' mother died yesterday. Better go tell him and send him in to see me."

So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation and lines up all the troops. "Listen up, men," says the Sergeant. "Johnson, report to the mess hall for KP. Smith, report to Personnel to sign some papers. The rest of you men report to the Motor Pool for maintenance. Oh by the way, Jones, your mother died, report to the commander."

Later that day the Captain called the Sergeant into his office. "Hey, Sarge, that was a pretty cold way to inform Jones his mother died. Couldn't you be a bit more tactful, next time?"

"Yes, sir," answered the Sarge.

A few months later, the Captain called the Sergeant in again with, "Sarge, I just got a telegram that Private McGrath's mother died. You'd better go tell him and send him in to see me. This time be more tactful."

So the Sergeant calls for his morning formation. "Ok, men, fall in and listen up." "Everybody with a mother, take two steps forward." "Not so fast, McGrath!"

Mind over matter

Mind over matter...

do you use thing kind of thinking?
does it helps you?
How do you do it?

Mind over matter is a phrase popularized during the 1960s and 1970s that was originally used in reference to paranormal phenomena, especially Psychokinesis. However, it has also been used in reference to mind-centric spiritual and philosophic doctrines such as responsibility assumption. It is the belief that the mind is more powerful than the body. Specifically, mind over matter refers to controlling pain that you may or may not be experiencing, such as holding your hand under extremely hot water and feeling no pain. Also, "self-help" personalities such as Tony Robbins claim that, through the power of concentration and "positive thinking", people can walk on hot coals without getting burned. This claim is made despite the fact that there are solid, scientific explanations for firewalking. The phrase is present in the 2000s as well, usually used as slogan by hackers and hacker sites. (Based on wikipedia)

Anyway, hmm actually guys, i does this sometimes..the power of our minds are so strong, it can control our emotions, our senses specially..

Love Poems

*Every night I imagine touching your face,
but nothing is there except empty space.
My dreams are filled with visions of eternal bliss,
sealed by your tender and heavenly kiss.
I awake from my dreams,
yearning to hold you near,
searching but not finding bringing me to tears.
I lie there thinking about how you showed me love,
making me wonder if you were sent from heaven above.
I fall asleep knowing that you are in my mind and my heart,
for love is eternal and we will never be apart

ANNDRIA TURNER

Better than I was...
more than I am...
and all of this happened
with the touch of your hand.
And who I am now is
who I've wanted to be...
and now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever,
happy and free.
It's a beautiful thing--
don't think I can keep it all in...
I just got to let you know
what it is that won't let me go--
it's your love.
It just does something to me...
sends a shock right through me
and I can't get enough.

If you wonder about the spell I'm under--
It's your love.


From the song IT'S YOUR LOVE by TIM MCGRAW AND FAITH HILL


I thought of that old joke
This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says,
"Doc, my brother's crazy, he thinks he's a chicken." And the doctor says,
"Well why don't you turn him in?" and the guy says,
"I would, but I need the eggs."
Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships.
They're totally irrational and Crazy and absurd, but I guess we keep going through it
because most of us need the eggs.

- Wooden Allen

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

HOW TO STAY YOUNG



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.
(Keep this In mind if you are one of those grouches;)


3. Keep learning.
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. The tears happen.
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with you your entire
life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive.





7. Surround yourself with what you love
whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.


8. Cherish your health.
If it is good, preserve it.
I f it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.




God bless y'aLL !

won't change anything

Why there things in our past that we always go back...

Someone tells me because it is still not closed..

I thought we closed it already...we have our new life now..separated with each other..and will never be together again..

so why bother to repeat and talk about it all over again..talking about it doesn't change anything..and won't change anything..

i don't want history to repeat itself..

Life quotes

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes. - Charles R. Swindoll

High Performance Computing (HPC)

This is an example of a High Performance Computing (HPC).
These are called "HPC clusters".

This is one of my subject in my Masteral Degree. And we are planning to visit a company where in they are these HPC clusters.

Hope they will accommodate us so we can really see what an HPC really looks like and how it really works.

Relationships

Are you in a relationship right now??

hmm Me? Im in the middle of YES and NO...confusing, isn't it? hehehe

it means, its complicated...which is, why life is so complicated..or should i say, why i always go for a complicated relationship..and make my life complicated..but not miserable huh..

it's been 9 months since my last relationship..and i can say, that i already moved on..i'm done with the "letting go" stage...(don't know if he's done with that though he has a new girlfriend hehe peace)..and the sweetest thing after is to stand up and be whole again after being broken into pieces..why sweetest? for it is not easy to cope the "so much inlove" thing after broke up..not easy to accept that things will never be the same again..that i'm on my own now again..not easy to accept that there are part of the relationship that are just lies and pretensions..that it is possible that "love" doesn't exist with him..just his ego..oops.. ;p

but as time goes by, though everything said and done are still remembered, they are all just become a history, a past...what we had, we felt, we shared will just be part of my life, my memories...now, we're friends,..oh...don't think about "we're still inlove with each other" that's why we're still friends..in my part, i can still be his friend, because, it is much ok if we're friends than enemies..i don't wanna be miserable because i cant forgive him..forgive myself...it's forgive then forget...that's it... :))...

all i wish, we both find our happiness...

so as of now, i have my special someone..we're not in a bf/gf relationship..but we're in good terms.."more than friends but less than a lover"..but as long as we're happy and we're not doing anything wrong..no one have the right to complain or judge us..right?

just mind your own business....

have a nice day guys...

The Boy is Mine (by Monica)

Brandy:
Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute?

Monica:
Uh huh, sure you know, you look kinda familiar.

Brandy:
Yeah, you do too but, umm, I just wanted to know do you know somebody named
you, you know his name.

Monica:
Oh, yeah definatly, I know his name.

Brandy:
I just wanted to let you know he's mine.

Monica:
Huh... No no, he's mine!

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Brandy:
I think it's time we got this straight
Let's sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man are you insane

Monica:
You see I know that you may be
Just be jealous of me
Cuz you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me

Brandy:
You see I tried to hesitate
I didn't wanna say what they told me
He said without me he couldn't make
It through the day ain't that a shame

Monica:
Maybe you misunderstood
Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
But my love is all it took

Both:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Monica:
Must you do the things you do
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it girl it's true

Brandy:
I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside

Monica:
You can say what you want to say
What we have you can't take
from the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake

Brandy:
When will you get the picture
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
And if you didn't know the boy is mine

Both:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine


Monica:
You can't destroy this love I found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel

Brandy:
What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
This special place in my heart
Cause he was my love right from the start

Both:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine



Both:
You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me

First Love

hmm my first love...it's way back elementary days...haha yes, guys...i know, i'm too young to fall in love that time...we call it "puppy love"...hehehe

it crossed my mind b'coz of a song i just heard..entitled "first love"..and today is his birthday..Happy Birthday Friend!

First love, it feels good to fall in love that time..though we're so young..i knew that the feelings are true..we still have those innocent hearts..(hehe of course, these time around, i can't say i'm still innocent)...all those laughter, those happy memories..and even the quarrels for petty things..hehe

i'm not telling this because i'm still inlove with him..it's just that..those kind of memories, are worth remembering..and are still kept in my heart..(sweet??)hehe..i don't actually believe in "First Love never Dies"...because love dies, only memories remains...

everytime i recall those memories,..i can't help myself to laugh for all my craziness...my innocence..hehehe

anyway,..hope u guys have your own happy and memorable first love...

I'm Back by Monica

It's been a while
Since I saw you
And since you hurt me
And it's been a while
Since I saw started
Back doing my thing
And if you wanna know
Why I've been on the low
What you see was me
Getting to know me
And now it's time to see
That I

I've learnd some things
And I've been some places
That I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to

*Back to what I love, giving up hugs
Taking time to say, "What's up?"
To my girls and to all my thugs
Back to selling out shows, doing videos
Letting all my people know
I'm back and I won't lose track*

I heard some things
Things that weren't true
Supposed to be about me
But I have a dream
And I won't let nobody stop me
I tell you know now
That I'm gonna stay around
And that they can do them
'Cause I'm a do me
And now it's time to see
That I

I've learnd some things
And I've been some places
That I chose to go
And I saw some faces
But I know that's the way life is
And it's time to get back to this
Back to what I love

[Repeat *]

Ooh, it feels good to be back
And, ooh, how could people think that
That I, I wouldn't get my spot back
And for those who thought that just know
That I'm back to what I love

Substance Abuse

Drug abuse is the use of any chemical substance, which results in an individual's physical, mental emtional, or social impairment. These include anxiety, depression, paranoia, psychosis, respiratory tract infections, nose and mouth ulcerations and other systematic diseases. Other diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Septicemia can also result from needle sharing among users of injection-type drugs. Cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer and lung disease can occur when drugs are used at high doses or after prolonged use, however, some may occur after just one use.

2 million people die premature deaths each year to alcohol and illicit drug use. These substance are responsible for about 9 percent of the total global burden of disease.

Warning signs of substance abuse:

- sudden change in their behavior - like wanting to be left alone, paranoia, change of sleep patterns, becoming easily irritated or secretive.

- physical changes such as dilated pupils, blood shot eyes, unsteady movements, weight loss and neglect of personal hygiene.

Going Easy on your Pancreas

Most people with acute pancreatitis recover completely. But even if you experience no lingering symptoms, it's important to take steps to keep your pancreas as healthy as possible:

* Avoid alcohol. If you can't voluntarily stop drinking alcohol, get treatment for alcoholism. Abstaining may or may not reduce your pain, but it will reduce your risk of dying of your disease.

*Eat smaller meals. The more you eat, the greater the amount of digestive juices your pancreas must produce. Instead of large meals, eat smaller, more frequent meals.

* Limit fat in your diet. This will help reduce loose and oily stools that result from a lack of pancreatic enzymes. A healthy diet emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.

* Follow a high-carbohydrate diet. Carbohydrates give you energy to help fight fatigue. Try to get most of your daily calories from complex carbohydrates found in grains, vegetables and legumes.

If you have diabetes, a dietitian can help you plan a appropriate diet.

Nicotine

Smoking resulted in 4.9 million deaths in 2000. That number is expected to rise to 8.9 million by 2020.

Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including ammonia (floor/toilet cleaner), arsenic (rat poison), formaldehyde (body tissue preserver), hydrogen cyanide (gas chamber poison).

"A cigarette is the only consumer product that when used as directed kills its consumers."

"Tobacco and poverty form a vicious link. Tobacco tends to be consumed more by the poor. In turn, it contributes to poverty through loss of income and loss of productivity due to ill-health and premature death"

Before You Marry

* Be at peace with your own family.

* Make loving God the first priority in your life.

* Establish clear career goals & the steps you will take to reach those goals.

* When you fall in love, use your mind as well as the heart.

* Seek guidance and affirmation from your family, friends and spiritual leaders.

* Commit sexual purity until marriage.

How does a family Grow?

Everyday ways to be an awesome member of your family!

* Get Informed - Ask an adult in your family what they remember most about being a teenager. What was the hardest part of them?

* Get Dirty - Do a chore around the house without being asked. (WARNING: this activity may cause shocked mothers to faint.)

* Get Bold - Admit to something you have done or said to hurt a family member and ask their forgiveness.

* Get Wisdom - Ask a wise member for advice and listen to their counsel. Maybe they don't live nearby. Send an e-mail or write a letter. They'll be happy to hear from you!

* Get connected - Ask a family member about their day. What was the best part? What didn't go so well or was really tough?

i'm planning for a new life...my life's been exciting, yes..but with so many complications and problems..though its hard to look for a new job..new friends..but i think its the best way to be back again...many things happen in my life in just a short period of time...as in superb...good, bad, happy, sad...everything...and i even messed up my life...

i learned so many things,..so many memories that i want to forget...and even some people...

i've been exposed in many situations..things you wouldn't believe i had experienced...things you wouldn't believe i did...but that's what i called learning, growing up (not literally)...being more matured and accepting mistakes and making the right thing even if it is the hardest thing to do...being strong in times of pain, suffering, heartaches and troubles...to stand up again after falling down....that's life...down-up, down-up....but just always stand up..and learned from it...

Sometime's Love Ain't Enough

Di na Ganun by Yeng Constantino

Paano na lang kung ako ang iiyak sa iyo
Paano na ‘yan buti kung may magawa pa ako
Paano na kung ako na ang nahihirapan
Magagawa ko ba sa’yo na bigla kang talikuran

*Wala na ang dating tamis
At sa tingin ko’y di ko na maibabalik

Chorus:
Bakit ‘di ko maaming wala na ang dating damdamin
‘Di na ganun
At hindi ko na kayang piliting muli mong angkinin
‘Di na ganun

Paano na lang kung biglang masabi ko sa iyo
Buti kung intindihin mo ako
Paano kaya kung ikaw ay akin nang iwasan o iwanan

Repeat * and Chorus

Ibubulong na lang sa hangin ang aking nararamdaman
Nalilito na ako pa’no mo ba malalaman

Repeat Chorus 2x

‘Di na ganun (5x)

Story of Regret

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.

Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.

Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. Although the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. So he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. Since then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.

On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend. He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite, but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. It was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.

"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.

"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand. She continued,
"Why...? Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that anymore......"
Before he can continue, he was interrupted, "Oh yes! Must have found a girlfriend! You haven't been searching for one for the past years, right?" The man looked up, as if he has struck gold, his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl. He replied, "Yes......you are right! I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years."
With that, the man darted across the floor and out the door, leaving the lady in much bewilderment. He finally realized that he has already found his dream girl, and she was.....the Vancouver girl all along! The drunken lady has said something that awoken him.

All along he has found his girl. That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back. It was not any specific girl he was seeking! It was perfection that he wanted, and yes.....perfection!!
Relationship is something both parties should work on. Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life, he decided to call her immediately. His whole mind was flooded with fear. He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore..... For once, he felt the fear of losing someone.

As it was Christmas eve, the line was quite hard to get through, especially an overseas call. He tried again and again, never giving up. Finally, he got through......precisely at 1200 midnight. He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears. It seemed that she never got over him! Even after so long, she was still waiting for him, never giving up.

He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives. He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her. It was the happiest time of their lives! But their happy time was short-lived. Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver, he received a call from her father. She had a head-on car collision with a drunken driver. She passed away after 6 hours in a coma.
The guy was devastated, as it was a complete loss. Why did fate played such cruel games with him? He cursed the heaven for taking her away from him, denying even one last look at her! How cruel he cursed! How he damned the Gods...!! How he hated himself....for taking so long to realize his mistake!! That was in 1996.

The moral of this story is :
Treasure what you have...
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.

For all you out there with someone special in your heart, cherish that person, cherish every moment that you spend together that special someone, for in life, anything can happen anytime. You may painfully regret, only to realise that it is too late.

thank you...

My life is really full of surprises..big surprises...unexpected revelations...Thank you for loving me despite the fact that i can't love you back..

Let the Pain Remain

THE YEARS OF THE TIGER

THE YEARS OF THE TIGER(1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022)

The Metal Tiger year starts on February 14, 2010. For western world types, the date is doubly significant because it falls on Saint Valentine's Day. Music Maestro Please! Drum rolls and festivities for everyone and of course extra loving for lovers everywhere.

Tiger years are notoriously turbulent. Political unrest, coups d'états, and natural catastrophes often strike during these action-packed years. So... if you were born under an active, energetic and even slightly rebellious New Astrology sign, you will be drop-dead-in love with this coming year's rambunctiousness. If, on the other hand, you prefer quietude, security and serenity, 2010 might not star as the most tranquil year of your life.

If you love movement and surprises, you will be in your element. But if you are someone who loves deep, quiet forest silence and solitude, in the Metal Tiger year, you may feel like crawling back under the covers and waiting out the tumult.

During a Tiger year, nobody should leap before he examines any forthcoming venture or adventure. The Tiger, though noble and honorable, endows a year with uncertainty and danger. Tigers never know where they might place their next paw. In Tiger years it is incumbent upon the rest of us to face head-on collisions with our own reversals. When we least expect calamity, it surges out of nowhere. Same goes for extreme pleasure and breath taking thrills. Much willpower and wisdom is required of us during these testy times. Get ready for the roller coaster ride of your life. Luckily, on February 2 of 2011, the ride will be over. Cat/Rabbit will be tiptoeing in to set things to rights in his or her own quiet way - and with dignity.

2010 will be a volatile year, engendering clashes and disputes in every part of the world - and even in families and love matches. This year will start with a bang. In the first half, everything will seem to be expanding, then exploding. But the year slowly winds down toward December and will end more serenely than it began. But hold on to your hats because 2010 is earmarked for sudden skirmishes, disagreements, disasters, ecstasies and gratifications of all stripes. Tigers, after all, are excessive.

2010 will also be a year for temerity about daring to change, for erasing the past and starting over. Nothing small or measly will happen. Think large scale everything. The Tiger also infuses the atmosphere with his courage and pluck. In 2010, we won't always feel safe. But we will often be excited and exhilarated. This will be a year for extremes in both misery and joy. Fortunes can be made and oh so quickly be gone up in smoke. The tendency is for dramatic upheaval. You leave your spouse and immediately get married to a lover with whom you almost know at the start that you can never find long term harmony. You sell your home and decide to move into a condo and right away feel cramped and nostalgic for your big sprawling house. Or you may change jobs midstream, just dash away from a sweetheart, move to a new city or country. Tiger years are about startups, new beginnings and espousing change. That is what make them so dashing and exciting to certain members of the New Astrology roster. And so absolutely shiveringly frightening to others.

In 2010, people get up to astonishing deeds on the spur of the moment. They suddenly take off on an expedition to the South Pole or they decide to move the whole family to Australia from Manitoba or Bedlam, Idaho. In this year, Transition is favored. If you have been dreaming of becoming a ballet dancer after years of digging in a mine, now's the time. Pick up and change your life. Or else you'll have to accept to be cowering in a corner with your teeth chattering as you watch the whirlwinds go by.

Heads of state and heads of household alike may allow their tempers to rage. Diplomacy seems to be a thing of the past. Likewise, secrets will be outed in the wink of an eye, unusual health problems will arise out of nowhere and your friends may go AWOL without so much as a whisper of a why. We will all feel abandoned at one time or another during this Tiger year, because the nature of the tawny beast is to turn tail and decide to change his stripes at a moment's notice. Where? What? Huh? We will all do a lot of head shaking and wondering what the hell just happened. No logic or reasoning can figure it out. So stop trying the very first day of the year and instead (because it's Valentine's Day) take your sweetie out for a super candlelight dinner and gear up for a full year of feisty turbulence - white knuckles and all.

Relationships, contracts and agreements requiring mutual confidence and collaboration may prove unsound and leave us gasping. This is often a difficult time and shakes us up. But the flip side is that it leaves us with a chance to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off and start all over again. This Tiger year will offer us all the courage we need to face adversity and wriggle out of tight spots.

Tigers are vigorous people who know how to carry heavy emotional weight and brave sticky legal situations. They willingly (and sometimes thoughtlessly) pounce on lost causes, sinking ventures and failing businesses. To this year, the Tiger brings derring-do and impulsive fearlessness. You may meet with some major obstacles. Don't panic. The Tiger is not vengeful. He doesn't hold a grudge. But he does expect you to overcome those obstacles and return to the fray wearing atriumphant smile on your formerly disappointed face.

The Tiger's impulsive spirit will no doubt touch everyone's life. If ever you were planning to pull off some chancy caper or make an uncharacteristic flash decision, go for it. The Tiger will be on your side.

If you are a Pisces/Goat, a Libra/Cat/Rabbit or another of the "softer" New Astrology™ signs , you may be shaking in your boots. Relax. The Tiger is an effusive character who, despite his penchant for quarrel and collision, is a veritable warehouse of merriment and a fund of dazzlingly novel ideas to amuse and delight you. If you like inventive, cheerful, intense and edgy people (and who doesn't?), you can look forward to a rollicking 2010.

Here Without You

life and love quotes

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharal Nehru

Life is like the dice that, falling, still show a different face. So life, though it remains the same, is always presenting different aspects.
Alexis

To live is like to love--all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Samuel Butler

One life - a little gleam of time between two eternities.
Thomas Carlyle

Life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.
Sir Thomas Brown

As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more.
Jules Renard

Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you,
but trusting them not to

I wish I could be your tear drops,
for what more could anyone ask
for then to be conceived in your heart,
born in your eyes, live on your
cheeks, and die on your lips

Because the distance between us is so great,
my arms cannot reach you,
but because my love for you is just as great,
my heart does

You know it is love when
you want to share everything with her, even her pain.
You know it is love when
you can't stop thinking about her.
You know it is love when
you'd rather be in a relationship
but apart than not in a relationship at all.
But, most of all, you know it is love when
your happiness is dependant upon hers.
At least that's how I know.

Long distance relationships are like wind to a fire;
it puts out the small ones,
but inflames the big ones

Love is like a tattoo.
You take the risk, face the pain and yet place it in a special part of you.
When the time comes to erase it, you have to endure the pain again.
You'll realize that it will leave you scarred forever.
It will always be around to remind you that you once had something for sometime which is so special..

If I had a dream that could come true,
it would be the one with me and you.
The one where you stood right by my side
and we talked and talked until mornings tide.
You told me you loved me and that you cared,
but when I awoke you weren't there.
So I tried to find a way to your heart,
because cupid's arrow hit my heart.
Though for now we are just friends,
sometimes time makes relationships bend.

Giving up doesnt mean your letting go,
It means you've decided to accept it wasnt meant to be.

Are you realistic or idealistic?

Idealism is the philosophical theory that maintains that the ultimate nature of reality is based on mind or ideas. In the philosophy of perfection, idealism is contrasted with realism in which the external world is said to have a so-called absolute existence prior to, and independent of, knowledge and consciousness. Epistemological idealists (such as Kant), it is claimed, might insist that the only things which can be directly known for certain are just ideas (abstraction).

Realism comes from the word "Real". Let's say the things you see in "everyday life". You don't need a proof to believe a bee stings or a dog barks. Realism is, in the broadest sense, simply fidelity to actuality in its representation in literature... In order to give it more precise definition, however, one needs to limit it to the movement which arose in the nineteenth century, at least partially in reaction against Romanticism, which was centered in the novel, and which was dominant in France, England, and America from roughly mid-century to the closing decade, when it was replaced by Naturalism. In this latter scene, realism defines a literary method, a philosophical and political attitude, and a particular kind of subject matter. Realist authors especially write about history, politics or biografies.


That's definition comes from wikipedia and yahoo answers..

Idealism (idealistic) or Realism (realistic)

For me, both....I've been idealistic and realistic..and now, i want to be both..
