...i should still be thankful :)

...let me share with you an email sent to me by my bestfriend ritz.....i honestly doesn't have much time reading forwarded messages... but the title..."GOOD THOUGHT"...though may not be too striking....captured my eye ;p it did...since i'm a little bit pessimistic these past few days...with all the pressures at work...the concerns i have...still at work...and all the thoughts that bugs me...thinking if i still have to stay or not :( if i'm still happy.... or just convincing myself that i still am :(

Before you think of saying an unkind word

Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food

Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife

Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life

Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children

Think of someone who desires children but they're barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep

Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive

Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job

Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

(this line surely striked me ;p)

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another

Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down

Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift of GOD.

LIVE it....

ENJOY it......

CELEBRATE it.........

AND FULFILL it...............

i miss my dad :(

....i just wanna share how proud i am to have a dad like engineer rolando luna santos :) ...it's past 12am...i just felt sentimental and emotional about things.... i just felt it....it just came up.....my tears burst :( i really miss my dad :( we've been apart for more than 7 years now....all that we could do is to call, email or chat... if time permits. most of the time... he would call us at home and ask me "ysa, lika chat na tayo :)" good thing there's such thing as techy stuffs like voice call thru yahoo and webcam :)...however...i would still feel the sadness, thinking that we're far apart. i often tell my dad how much i appreciated him as my father, as my mentor and as our provider. nevertheless.... i know that those words aren't enough to show the love i have for my dad. i look up to him and i feel so proud of my dad. i would sometimes brag to my friends how intelligent he is....being a salutatorian in a seminary isn't quite easy for him. all of them in the seminary should follow their schedule in studying, playing and even sleeping. he used to tell me how he used to transform from a stubborn gradeschooler in beda into a studious boy in the seminary. his life in the seminary taught him the discipline and positive attitude towards his goal. he shared with us how he always thought of himself when he was a young boy....that he's not as good as those smart boys in gradeschool. but things changed when he entered into the seminary. aside from getting to know God more.... who by the way should be the center of our lives...my dad realized a lot of things in himself. that is.....he could be as good as those smart boys, as long as u believe in yourself and use your God-given talents. All of us has a gift from God, we may sometimes not realize it....but others may seem to notice those things from us. I thank God for having a dad like him. He would always appreciate, commend or thank me for what I'm doing. Those words that he may not think as very meaningful for me....words that encourages me and challenge me to get through life in times of trouble. ...how i wish i could greet him personally whenever he celebrates his birthdays, his christmases and whatever special occassion there could be. since i was a child, i rarely spend time with my dad :( he often go out of the country to work for a living. now that he's in LA, i would always wish that someday, somehow....we could be together again as a family. I remember during my early days in highschool, we used to have yearly retreats in school, I would always share about my dad, the sadness I feel, longing for my father.... how i wanted to be with him but couldn't....how much I envy my friends and classmates who are always with their whole family. ...my dad would always tell us how much he loves us. That's the greatest thing I like with my dad. I would say that I'm not used in saying "I love yous" to my brother, my sister, or even to my mom before she had stroke...but I would say that the greatest thing I appreciated with my dad is that he would always tell us how important we are to him and simply saying "I love you" is probably something that really makes me feel that he's always there for us no matter how far we're apart.... ...my dad would always tell us that God always has a purpose in everything that comes or happen in our lives. Though it could be a trial or a blessing, we should always thank Him. he also gets into some trials but his faith would always remind him to be strong and not worry too much...now that I sometimes feel so tired and stressed in my job...sad as I may seem to some of my colleagues...I would sometimes think the words and stories of encouragment that my dad shared with me. He has lots of things to share, things that he might not sometimes think that has an impact to people like me or even to his friends who attest importance of his words and encouragement in their lives. ...my dad may not be perfect in all aspect.... but definitely... i could say that my dad is the greatest influence in my life.....I LOVE U SO MUCH DADDY!
