You may be wondering why sometimes I speak of some blogs here. This is because I have been bloghopping here and there lately to check out what other blogs have to offer. This is what I do when I have nothing to do (haha!). There are as many niche blogs out there as those who talk just everything about their personal lives. For me, it doesn’t matter what one wants to talk about, as long as I find it interesting, I read it. Besides, it’s their blog. They can write whatever they want to. Some talk about their work, some talk about their travel experiences, while some talk about their heartaches and triumphs and still, others talk about things that really interest them like computer or the internet – just like Internet For All, a blog about business, computer, internet and news.

My bloghopping gives smaller blogs like me have the opportunity to get known, or at least be visited, by my readers. This also gives me the same opportunity to have other bloggers and readers come over. I find it fun helping out each other in this way.

Yes, this blog just upgraded yesterday from WordPress2.5 to WordPress2.5.1 using the WordPress Automatc Upgrade Plugin.

Hello there, people. Sorry if I’ve been too tired lazy to write these past couple of days. It’s because Dario, Jeff and I are too busy cuddling each other to do anything. Even getting up from bed seems like a very difficult task when I am being held by the two most loving guys in my world – my husband and our son.

Anyway, here I am, with a heavy head due to cold. I did a few minutes of bloghopping and just came across this site that is authored by a fellow Filipina who calls herself Pansay. Her blog is of course about the things that interest her – her daily routine, her job and other issues she has with some people and things around her. You can check out her blog and learn her views in life and how it keeps ‘amusing myself’, as she puts it.

Talk to you again soon, people!

And back to the bed . . . . .

1. Don’t imagine you can change a man - unless he’s in diapers.

2. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

3. If they put a man on the moon - they should be able to put them all up there.

4. Never let your man’s mind wander - it’s too little to be out alone.

5. Go for younger men. You might as well - they never mature anyway.

6. Men are all the same - they just have different faces, so that you can tell them apart.

7. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

8. Women don’t make fools of men - most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

9. Best way to get a man to do something - suggest they are too old for it.

10. Love is blind - but marriage is a real eye-opener.

11. If you want a committed man - look in a mental hospital.

12. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times, men wouldn’t ask for directions.

13. If he asks what sort of books you’re interested in, tell him checkbooks.

14. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means that you laugh at his.

15. Sadly, all men are created equal.

Yes, I am so happy today! My husband is now on board a flight to Manila and we are picking him up this afternoon at the airport. Our son is preparing a little welcome banner for him. He said he wants to surprise his father with it.

I am already done preparing his things here. Everything is in order now. Last night, as we were chatting, he asked for sinigang na baboy (a famous Filipino dish) for dinner. Right now, I am just taking a coffee break. I’m making some final touches here in our room.

Oh, man! Our son and I are really so excited to embrace him again! I am ecstatic, happy, excited! And so is our son, Jeff. The three of us will be watching a movie together next week, and some more other things. We are not wasting any time of the entire 51 days Dario is here.

The Giving Kind
Blessed be he of the Lord, who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead! – Ruth2:20

At one end of the truck terminal where H.H. Lee worked years ago was a coal company. Nearby was a railroad, and each day several freight trains passed by. Lee often noticed that the owner f the company, who was a Christian, threw chunks of coal over the fence at various places along the track. One day he asked the man why he did this.

The man replied, “An elderly woman lives across the street, and I know that her pension is inadequate to buy enough coal. After the trains go by, she walks along and picks up the pieces she thinks have fallen from the coal car behind the engine. She doesn’t realize that diesels have replaced steam locomotives. I don’t want to disappoint her, so I just throw some pieces over the fence.”

That’s Christianity in action! The book of Ruth vividly portrays this principle of giving. When Boaz saw Ruth gathering grain behind the reapers in his field, he commanded them to leave some handfuls of grain for her. To her, this was a blessing from the Lord.

In the same way, the people whose lives we touch need to experience God’s love through our compassion and generosity. That’s why we should ask God to make us aware of opportunities to show kindness. – Henry Bosch

Do a deed of simple kindness, Though it’s end you may not see;
It will reach like widening ripples, Down a long eternity. – Anon.

Kindness is the oil that takes friction out of life.

(Also read: Ruth2, 2Samuel16-18, Luke17:20-37)

An 85-year-old went to his doctor’s office to get a sperm count. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.”

The next day, the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened and the man explained:

“Well, doc, it’s like this - First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. she tried with her right hand, then her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing.”

“We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit and she even tried squeezin’ it between her knees, but still nothing.”

The doctor was shocked! “You asked your neighbor?”

The old man replied, “Yep, And no matter what we tried, we still couldn’t get the jar open.”

Here’s my toot for the week.

Yesterday, Jeff and I went to the ENT doctor for his check up. Good news: he’s not undergoing tonsillectomy for there is a chance that Jeff outgrows his tonsils (they are quite large for his age).

Another thing is I’m done with my assignments – I had the aircon installed, finished cleaning the house and bought some more clothes for my husband. Dario’s flight to Manila is tomorrow and we’re picking him up from the airport on Thursday afternoon. Now, our room looks fresh when he arrives.

Happy tooting!
