White Rose Tag
What does a white rose represent? White is a color symbolic of many positive things, such as marriage, purity, virtue, and innocence. White is linked to emotions of harmony and serenity. The breathtaking purity and simplistic beauty of a white rose can’t be beat. White roses signify deep, clear emotions. They are given without reservation or ambivalence. The red rose signifies lust or passion, but the white rose goes much deeper to suggest an infinite love that goes to the very core of one’s being. It carries an almost spiritual significance. White roses symbolize devotion, kindness, and deep friendship in love.
I'm passing this white rose to Ilocana, Cecille, Nice, Laura and Sheng.

Confused about accepting offers
The Best Gift Ever
*** Start Here ***
Friendly Rules:1. Simply copy the inspirational story and in the end write down the lesson you have learned out from this. 2. Put your own blog name and link. Pass or tag this to your friends to inspire them. 3. Start copy from “Begin Copy” until “End Copy” to your blog.
--- The Best Gift Ever ---
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.
Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said,"With all your money you give me a Bible?"And stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was verysuccessful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.
He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the stillnew Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,"And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?" As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessing because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for...
PLS. SEND THIS TO AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE SO AS TO LET THIS GREAT LESSON FLOW AROUND.

Lesson I learned: (The best gift doesn't always come with the nice packages, the Bible itself is a gift)

The Old Man at the Dumpster
This is the view outside our apartment. Every time I eat my breakfast or lunch, I can see what's going on outside which sometimes entertains me while eating specially if I saw squirrels running around playing or just looking for food. Then I saw this old man and I was wondering what he's doing at the dumpster. I was observing of what he took in the dumpster so when he passed by close to where I was still watching him while he goes out of our place to go to another dumpster maybe, I saw a big plastic bags hanging in his bike. I noticed that he took the soda cans. When hubby was home I told him about the old man and said that I want to give the cans to the old man and not throw it in the dumpster so the old man won't dig it there anymore. The next time I saw him; I hurriedly went out and give the cans to him. He was saying something to me but I can't understand. I think he's speaking to me in Spanish and the only English word I heard from him that I understand is "Thank you". He normally comes to the dumpster here once a week or once every 2 weeks. When I started working, I haven't handed him the cans anymore. Maybe he comes here early when I am still at work. I sometimes saw him outside biking with his plastic bags hanging around his bike while I was going to the store after work. When our cans were piling up already, hubby decided to bring the cans to his work because they recycle cans, sell it and donate the money that they make from the cans to the family of those who are serving in Iraq. In short, I wasn't feeling so bad anymore knowing that the cans we saved was able to help other needy people.

My Blood Type is B
According to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood types.
TYPE O
You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal, passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealously and a tendency to be too competitive.
TYPE A
You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness and an inability to relax.
TYPE B
You're a rugged individualist, who's straightforward and likes to do things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.
TYPE AB
Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.
How do you rate?
My bloodtype is B. I'm a rugged individualist, who's straightforward and likes to do things my own way. Creative and flexible, I can adapt easily to any situation. But my insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.
Now let's keep this tag rolling! I want to know if your blood type really fits your personality.
1. Scotty's Princess
2. Lainy
3. Twerlermz
4. juliet
5. Grace
6. Bregie

A bloggers foresight
I am not a great blogger but I tried my best that my readers will have fun when they visit my blog. Thanks to my friend Ellaine of Scottz Princess who thinks that I'm a great blogger because of the hit back that I got everyday. ^_^
Anyway, I was amazed with all the awards that I received in the past at my first blog though I was a newbie at that time but when I started receiving opps I didn't receive many awards anymore. Tags are still around the corner, they come and go but most of them are linking tags to get more visitors. There are times that I don't know what to write and I have to think of a good subject that will catch the attention of my reader. For me it's nice to have a good foresight if you want to be a good blogger. You have to think of what will be your next topic, what subject you want to talk about and nice photos to share about the subject of your post wherever you are. I think, once you know how to blend your real life and the blogging world, you'll know what to do after making some mistakes. I did and still struggling.
There's one blog that I like to visit because she always have a good topic everyday. In short, her blog is not boring. She's Juliana, a Pinay WAHM who has a good insight and foresight about life. If you're a newbie and wants to have lots of blogger friends then keep on asking for an x-link if you like the blog that you visit.
Another blogger friend of mine talked about how blog hopping helped her in making money thru her blog. So if your blog has no PR yet, don't worry. Just keep on blogging and blog hopping. Blogging needs a lot of hard work but once you're in it, you'll enjoy doing it. You have to be aware of what's around you coz you don't know, the simple things that you see are good subjects for posting your next topic. Have fun blogging!
My New Blog
This is another new blog of mine. I tried adding another blog once and deleted it because I don't have time to blog hop for both blogs but I hope this time I can manage having two blogs. This is really a challenge for me but at the same time learning how to prioritize things in life. If this won't work then you know what will happen next. DELETE! hahaha But of course I will let you know also if I plan to delete this so I won't be wasting your time to blog hop here. I just love this background that I can't resist making another blog. hehe Cheers!
