Love…love…love…

Love isn’t about attraction..

Not about infatuation…

Not about lust…

Not about gifts and the length of time you spent together.

 

Bottom Line?

 

There’s no reason at all. True love is having to wake up each day feeling so deeply inlove and overwhelmingly happy whener this person is around you without  even knowing why.

 

Making you forget the past…

Cherish the present…

And wishing the future would be spending the entirely of your lives together.

Courage & Fear

Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all…

Destiny-Love-Choice

It is not “Destiny” that determines “Love”; it is “Choice”…

Our so-called destiny is a lie.

Relationships last long because they’re destined to last long…

They last long because two brave people made a choice: to keep it, to fight for it, and to work for it…

Meanwhile, other relationships fail not because they’re destined to fail they failed because of the two, or both made the choice: to set each other free

SUCH A PRECIOUS LIFE

There is so many senseless crimes in the world today so many people hurt and die each year, every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute in different places of the world.

Why!??

Because of hate… jealousies… envy… greed… power…!!??! What is it that makes one human decide that it is okay to hurt or take the life of another!??!

I believe that everyone is loved by someone each life is precious to someone. I know it is precious to God!

How I wish that life was precious to all of us and we could learn to love one another and find value
in each one … because each one is unique and wonderful in their own way!!!

Isaiah 13:12 “I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir”

Isaiah 43:4 “Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.”

1 Samuel 26:21”Then said Saul, I have sinned, return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was Precious in thine eyes this day; behold, I have played a fool, and have erred exceedingly”

Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his servants”

The Father’s Song…

Fathers’ Day is a special day to honor not only our Dads but those who’ve been a Father figure to us-whether as Stepfathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, even” Big Brother”.

Honoring your Father can be done in different ways. Simple kiss and greet is enough to make your Dad’s smile and remembering that they are also honored.

 

I have heard so many songs

Listened to a thousand tongues
But there is one
That sounds above them all
The Fathers song
The Fathers love
You sung it over me and for eternity
Its written on my heart

Heavens perfect melody
The Creators symphony
You are singing over me
The Fathers song
Heavens perfect mystery
The king of love has sent for me
And now you’re singing over me
The Fathers song

Its Heavens perfect mystery
The king of love has sent for me
And now you’re singing over me
The Fathers song
The Fathers song
The Fathers love
You sung it over me and for eternity
Its written on my heart

The Fathers song
The Fathers love
You sung it over me and for eternity
Its written on my heart
Its written on my heart
You sing it over me
Father

Happy Fathers’ Day!

Care to Swim…Do it in Bagac!

Bagac, Bataan; an exceptionally beautiful mountainous province of Philippines located in west Luzon between Manila Bay and the South China Sea, this is the place where our first Rainmaker Aisa’s Finance and Administration and Legal Outing to be held.

It’s about 150 km away from Manila, around 3 to 4 hours drive thru North Luzon Expressway. Bataan is known for its rich cultural and historical heritage, warm Filipino hospitality and scenic natural landscapes comprising of lofty mountains with enchanting waterfalls, lush green valleys and exotic beaches. One of the most visited destinations in Philippines; Bataan is a tourist’s delight, offering many important historical sites and an exciting range of recreational activities to its visitors.

 

What’s interesting is that the roads to Bagac follow the path of the historic Bataan Death March and provides a great view of Mt. Samat. You can see the Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor). It was built in 1966 in memory of the soldiers of World War II.

 

We drove to Bataan from Makati (Our meeting Place), leaving after a bit of waiting for those “Pasaway a.k.a. Marvin” that at the end we need to leave him and go without him before we caught the traffic jam (just a guess though) but since it was Saturday our travel is very pleasant enough and thanks to NLEX and SCTEX for making our travel more faster.

 

We arrive at the resort (La Masia is the name of the private resort) around 1 pm and we begin to indulge the beauty of nature. It has awesome (I guess Huge is the better word to describe it) “backyard”, abundant with green shade (Trees and plants).

 

The beach itself is awesome, we’re in the same shoreline of Montemar though we’re not allowed to cross-over the property of Montemar (it seems they also bought even the beach itself hehehe) covered with mocha-colored powder and receiving a cool breeze from the South China Sea. Have very little rocks and corals around the beach, which makes it perfect for wading and comfortably lounging around. Also, the beach is not so salty because of the fresh water flowing nearby. The ocean’s pulse also sends shallow waves, which offers a good opportunity for skim boarding, unfortunately we don’t have one.

 

All in all, Nice People nice place nice food. I or shall I say we really enjoyed our outing in Bagac, Bataan. It’s really a very relaxing adventure trip to Bagac. Till next summer. See you in Bagac.

 

Ciao!!!

 

Raymond is signing off.

Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince

Long months of waiting is over, book 6 of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” will be released on July 15, 2009 by Warner Bros Pictures.

Official Plot Summary from warner Bros: (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthehalf-bloodprince/)

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.

Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself increasingly drawn to Ginny, and so is Dean Thomas. Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hasn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates. Then there’s Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead, and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

There are number of changes from the book in the film. One of the changes is the removal of Dumbledore’s funeral. But there are added scenes that was not written in the book. There are also Characters who are cut. However, the Quidditch, being excluded from the previous film, returns.

There are so much more to be waited for in the movie. For now, let’s indulge ourselves in the trailers.
