"There's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking.

Sometimes, a special feeling comes. It may be meant to be. But may not meant to be right now. It will make you wish you were in another lifetime. It will make you hope day and night can meet at one moment. It will make you ask for the past and future to happen at present. But can there be another lifetime? How can day and night be at one moment? How can the past and future happen today? How can this special feeling be for real? Would you hold on? Or would you rather forget about this special feeling? Would you keep dreaming and wishing? Or would you wait until another life comes ?

You Can If You Think You Can By Walter D. Wintles If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you won’t, If you like to win, but don’t think you can, It’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost, For out in the world you find, Success begins with a fellow’s will, It’s all in a state of mind. For many a game is lost Ere even a play is run, And many a coward fails Ere even his work is begun. Think big and your deed will grow, Think small and you’ll fall behind, Think that you can and you will, It’s all a state of mind. If you think you are out-classed, you are, You’ve got to think high to rise, You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later, the man who wins Is the fellow who thinks he can. * I got this from a discussion board at www.monster.ca.

The ANC Lead ership Forum which was held in UP School of Economics gave four leaders a chance to share their thoughts about certain issues in the country. Among the leaders present were Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay , MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando , Senator Loren Legarda and former President Joseph Estrada. Here's what they say about different issues tackled: 1. What is your stand on the REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL ? Fernando -- no. He would always choose the "affordable way."

Would you support investigation of corruption charges against President Arroyo ? Fernando -- "let the court decide."

Last night, after my class with my ESL students, I got a letter from my Korean employer. It was a short note that says: Dear Virgie, The pain of study is only for a moment, but the pain of not having studied is forever. I won't forget you as long as I live. Thank you for your teaching style. -signed-

Camerlengo: (to Robert Langdon) Do you believe in God? Robert Langdon: I'm an academician. My mind tells me I will not understand God. My heart says I am not meant to. Faith is a gift I have yet to receive. statue of Mary Magdalene and Jesus I have been wondering how it feels to be standing at the Sistine Chapel. I mean, can our physical presence at the holy place strengthen our belief in God? While watching ANGELS AND DEMONS, I was thinking if the cardinals and even the Pope himself knows exactly what God is like. I wonder if being in this holy place will bring us closer to God which most Catholic believe in. Robert Langdon must be right: FAITH IS A GIFT . Undeniably, not all receive such a gift. Personally, I don't really believe in the God that most people project to know. But in my heart, I feel that there is SOMEONE who knows me like no one else does. I can feel that Someone powerful must have caused things in my life be put in their proper places. I'm jus...

the toxic days are here: enrollment of irregular comm. students. i came to school at 20 minutes past 8 am today (late -- ha ha) and since that time, i didn't stop with enrolling irregular students. good thing i had lunch break. i locked the office door so that i could have lunch without work or anyone disturbing my "holy hour." ma'am elvie and ma'am doty were actually inviting me for lunch but i didn't seem to like talking while having lunch so i decided to have lunch in the office. the problem was that the faculty room was locked and so i haven't had water. i actually finished lunch without water or coffee. after brushing my teeth, the enrollees entered the office right away. i couldn't let them wait so i got back to work. it was toxic, really and before i knew it, it was already 4:30 p.m. i asked the student who was then enrolling if i could just have coffee for a few minutes. i wanted to have coffee at 9 am but just had a chance to do so...
