The shop keeper looked at the small cute child and showed him a bottle with sweets and said <em>'Dear Child..u can take the sweets...</em>'<br /><br />But the child didnt take. The shop keeper was surprised.. such a small child he is and why is he not taking the sweets from the bottle. Again he said take the sweets....<br /><br />Now the mother also heard that and said.. "<em>take the sweets dear.."</em> Yet he didnt take. The shopkeeper seeing the child not taking the sweets. He himself took the sweets and gave to the child. The child was happy to get two hands full of sweets.<br /><br />While returning home the Mother asked the child... "<em>Why didnt you take the sweets, when the shop keeper told you to take?</em>"<br /><br /><strong>Can you guess the response?<br /></strong><br />Child replies... "<em>Mom! my hands are very small and if i take the sweets i can only take few.. but now you see when uncle gave with his big hands.... how many more sweets i got!"</em><br /><br /><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Moral:</strong> When we take we may get little but when God gives...

Shakespeare, too, was trying to figure that out. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">They do not love that do not show their love.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">The course of true love never did run smooth.</span><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-style: italic;">Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">He wrote. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">But, how would you define love in a not-Shakespeare term? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Falling in love likes liking something or someone, and you cannot get enough of it. You want more, more and more. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">It is for me. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">It is like when you say “<span style="font-style: italic;">I love chocolate!</span>”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">You so love it that you cannot get enough of it. You cannot resist the temptation to have more, more, and more. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Whatever form it may possess, you still love it! Whether it is small, big; beautifully wrapped or just a big, ugly chunk of it. You just gonna love it!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">It is how I define love. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">You start falling in love with someone. You cannot stop thinking about him. You cannot stop wanting to meet him. You just met, but you want to meet again. You just had dinner, but you so need to call him before you go to bed. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">You cannot get enough of him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">You want to see him. You want to hear his voice. You want to meet him. You want to get a grip of his hand, even though they are the same five-fingers hands all the time, yes, you want to hold these hands like, forever!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Call me childish, but isn’t love so beautifully childish?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">And another good thing of being <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >falling in love is it lasts forever! </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Another friend perceives love as home.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Yes, a home!</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Everywhere you go, anywhere you go; you will go back to a home. Wherever it is, isn’t it? It could be your hometown. It could be your second hometown. It could be anywhere! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">But a real home is where your beloved one is. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">It doesn’t matter when time is rough. It doesn’t matter when the storm strike, because you are home, with the one you love the most. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I agree.

you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else, something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize you're happy.</span><o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">This quote is coming from <a href="http://1treehillquotes.livejournal.com/22883.html#cutid1">One Tree Hill Season 4</a>. Lucas Scott was saying it. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">In these past 6 years, pain has become such a huge part of my life that I expect it to always be there. When I feel something unfamiliar, I know that it couldn’t be happiness; because it has never occurred to me lately that I forget how it actually feels like. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">In the beginning of my journey to the Netherlands, for the second time, I didn’t know whether I would be happy or sad because of my decision to return to the Netherlands. I am now not yet feeling any definite feeling. I am still perplexed whether I am happy or sad. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">These couple of days, I feel a very unsettling, unfamiliar feeling that I might not be sure if it is what happiness would feel like. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">I could say that my life is in an OK phase; nothing is wrong. Stefy is here. I am reunited with 75% of my DieKa friends. I have settled some of my issues with some people that I should have settled a long time ago. I have a very nice room, with a nice Vietnamese roommate, and close to the University (like really close – 3 minutes walk close). I have met (and will be meeting) some close friends that I have been wanting to meet. And many more good things. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Knowing that everything is okay, I kinda expect that something wrong would occur to me anytime soon. Like my classmates would hate me. Or I would have no friends in the Hague. Or my parents would call in the middle of the day, somewhere in the end of this year and tell me that they ain’t have any money to pay my expenses anymore, thus I have to go home. Or my fiancée would tell me that he is seeing somebody else in Breda. Or one of my close friends would back stab me. Or someone would steal something from me. Or I would lose something precious. Or I would fail exams or assignments, Or anything bad,…<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">I don’t know.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">When misery has become your close friends, especially for 6 years long, like what I have experienced; you would become miserable as I have become. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">I know for sure that God is with me. When He is with me, I shall fear nothing. I know,.. I know this verse by heart. Yet, when I see the world, see the reality, a question pops “will it really be okay?”<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">I guess I should stop using my brain and just be silly by fully dependant on God and ask nothing; and fear nothing, but God.

As some people were walking towards the gate, I saw some gloomy faces. I am not sure whether they are sad because they have left the past; or are they pressured becuase they are about to face the new future? There are too some happy faces. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Othe people were walking towards arrival gate. Some of them have happy faces. The same question has aroused: are they happy because they are coming to see the new future? or are they cheering because they have left the past? There are too some sad faces. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">As for me, I am still not sure what kind of face expression I should give. A couple of days ago I was crying till I ran out of tears; yet this morning, even a few moments before I departed, I didn't cry a tear. I don't want to suspect that I has bottled up my sad feelings, because I am not used to that anymore. But, I am perplexed now: am I sad or am I happy?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">How about if I say half-half? I do feel a little bit sad because I left my family behind, especially because I have left them with a new problem I created. Sigh,.... I would certainly miss them. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I am also happy, because, as you know, my boyfriend is waiting for me. Bunch of friends are desperate to see me, at least it is what they wrote in their e-mails. I am too excited to study again. Yeah.... how cool is that to become a student again. Just like Gossip Girls or One Tree Hill. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Oops,.. okay,.. stop,.. I think I have watched too many TV series lately. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">But, the bottomline is, I am happy; yet I am sad. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So, as I am about to approach my gate in about 30 minutes, I will figure out which face expression I would give. </span>Oma Niahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630531897163989852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756582.post-23663808222664856462008-09-01T10:56:00.002+07:002008-09-01T11:00:12.668+07:00Quotes of the day<span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride. I love you because I know no other way then this. So close that your hand, on my chest, is my hand. So close, that when you close your eyes, I fall asleep." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Memorable quotes - Patch Adams<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >p.s.

Since it is almost Ramadhan, I hope it is not wrong to share this article:</span></span><br /></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal">One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick. Suddenly, my son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed position in the front seat.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"><b>"Mom, I'm thinking of something."</b><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">This announcement usually meant he had been pondering some fact for a while and was now ready to expound all that his seven-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>"What are you thinking?"</b> I asked.<o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>"The rain,"</b> he began, <b>"is like sin and the windshield wipers are like God, wiping our sins away."</b><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. <b>"That's really good, Matthew."</b><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little boy take this revelation? So I asked... <b>"Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"</b><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Matthew didn't hesitate one moment with his answer: <b>"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."</b><o:p></o:p></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on. Isn't it comforting to know that God does keep forgiving us. That all we have to do is ask Him to come into our lives and He will keep washing our sins away.<br /></p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Source:</span> http://www.mychurch.org/blog/45639/The-Rain-Thomas-Kinkaid</span><br /><o:p></o:p></p>Oma Niahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630531897163989852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756582.post-24892288078516822192008-08-21T17:27:00.002+07:002008-08-21T17:37:57.342+07:004 People You Will Meet in Life<span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" >Four people you will meet in life. Life is the process of finding love; every person will need to find four people in their life.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.inmagine.com/img/photoalto/paa088/paa088000072.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://images.inmagine.com/img/photoalto/paa088/paa088000072.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">First person is you, second person is the one you love most, third person is the one who love you most, and the fourth is the one you spend the rest of your life with.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In life, firstly you will meet with the one you love most, and learn how love feels. Because you know how love feels, so you can find the person who loves you most. When you have experienced the feeling of loving others and being loved, you will then know what it is you need most. Then you will find the person who is most suitable for you, to be able to spend the rest of your life with.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Sadly, in real life, these three people are usually not the same person.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The one you love most doesn’t love you. The one, who love you most, is never the one you love most. And the one you spend your life with, is never theone you love most or the one who love you most.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">He is just the person who happens to be at the right place at the right time.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><br />Which person are you in other people’s life?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">No person will purposely have a change of heart. At the point in time when he loves you, he really loves you. But when he doesn’t love you anymore, he really doesn’t love you anymore. When he loves you, he can’t pretend that he doesn’t. Same goes, when he loves you no more, there’s no way he can pretend he loves you.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When a person doesn’t love you and wants to leave you. You must ask yourself if you still love him, if you also don’t love him anymore, do not keep him just to save your pride. If you still love him, you should wish him happiness, and hope that he will be with the one he loves most, not stop him from it. If you stop him from finding true happiness with the one he loves, it shows you already don’t love him, and if you don’t love him, what rights do you have to blame him for a change of heart?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Love is not possessive, if you like the moon, you can’t just take it down and put it in your basin, but the moonlight still shines upon you. In other words, when you love a person, you can use another method of possessing the person. Let him become a permanent memory in you life. If you really love a person, you must love him for what he is. Love him for his good points, and the bad, you can’t wish for him to become like what you like him to be just because you love him. If he can’t change to become what you like him to be, you don’t love him anymore.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When you really love a person, you cannot find a reason why you love him, you only know that no matter when and where, good mood or bad mood, you will wish to have this person be with you. Real love is when two people can go through the toughest problems without asking for promises or listing criteria. In a relationship, you have to put in effort and give in at times, not always be on the receiving end. Being away from each other is a type of test, If the relationship isn’t strong, then you can only admit defeat. Real love will never become hate.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">When two people are in love, they love to ask each other to swear, to make promises. Why do they ask each other to swear and promise? Because they don’t trust each other, they don’t trust their lover. These swear and promises are useless; Till the sky falls, till the ocean dry, my love for you will never change! We all know that the sky will never fall; the ocean will never dry, even if it does happen, are we still alive by then?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Be careful when making promises; don’t make promises that you cannot keep. Swear by things that can never happen, because it can never happen, so no harm just saying it casually. Remember, swearing by things that can never happen are the most touching!! In a relationship, what you say is one thing, but what you do is another; The one saying, doesn’t believe; the one listening, also doesn’t believe.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Source: http://www.rumahrenungan.com/ </span></span>Oma Niahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12630531897163989852noreply@blogger.com1
