LESSON LEARNED

September 3rd, 2005 by lbbacurnay

I was happy.? My girlfriend and I were dating for over a year, and so we
decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends    encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream!                                 

There was only one thing bothering me, quite a lot indeed, and that was 
my mother-in-law to be. She was a career woman, smart, but most of all 
beautiful and sexy, who sometimes flirted with me, quite obviously too, 
and made me feel uncomfortable.                                          

One day, she called me and asked me to come over, to check the           invitations.                                                            

So I went. She was alone, and when I arrived, she whispered to me, that 
soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that   
she couldn’t overcome. So before I got married and committed my life to 
her daughter, she wanted to make love to me just once.                  

What could I say? I was in total shock, and couldn’t say a word.         

So, she said, I’ll go to the bedroom, and if you are up for it, just come
and get me. I just watched her delicious behind as she went up the      
stairs.                                                                  

I stood there for a moment, and then turned around and went to the front
door… I opened it, and stepped out of the house.                      

Her husband was standing outside, and with tears in his eyes, hugged me 
and said, we are very happy and pleased; you have passed our little test.
We couldn’t have asked for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the  family.                                                                  

Lesson learned: Always keep your condoms in your car.                    |

MOMENTS IN LIFE

September 3rd, 2005 by lbbacurnay

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!                     

When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but oftentimes we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us                        
      

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away.  Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.  Find the one that makes your heart smile.                  

Dream what you want to dream; Go where you want to go; Be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.                              
      

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.                      
                                                                            
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of  everything that comes along their way.                  
                                                                             
The brightest future will always  be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.              
                                                                                          
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.  Live your life so at the end.  You’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.                           
                                                                             
                    
Please send this message to those people who mean something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.               
                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                            
                                                                           
                                                                            
                                                                                                                              
 

                        

BEING SINGLE

August 31st, 2005 by lbbacurnay

Single means you have the time to grow and be the person you
want to be.

Single gives you space to grow. Sometimes, it is harder to grow
when you are too close to someone. Trees are planted far
apart so they can spread their branches and become strong
as they mature.

Single means learning to live by yourself. However, that is no
more difficult than learning to live with somebody else.

Single means freedom. You are free to spend a week’s vacation
on the beach, to take computer courses, to work late on an
interesting project, to spend the day in bed with a good book
or simply with a person who has read one.

Single means learning not to need a man/woman to make your
life meaningful but learning to live with a man/woman because
you want to be with him/her.

Single means that sometimes you will wonder why you will bite
your lip and feel wistful and wonder if marriage is better.
Ironically, yet quite happily, single is feeling good about being
in control of your life. It is liking and respecting who you are
and why you are.

Single is realizing that being married is not necessarily better,
it is merely different.

Single means that there could be something wonderful around the
corner and you can take advantage of it.

Single means you are free to love again.

Whatever decisions that you have made in your life is part of
your growing experience… part of life. Whatever decisions
that you have to make will influence or affect your future. So
think hard before deciding on certain things…
and PRAY TO GOD and HE will show you the way.

SOCIAL SECURITY SEX

August 30th, 2005 by lbbacurnay

Two men were talking. "So, how’s your sex life?"  "Oh, nothing special. I’m having Social Security sex."  "Social Security sex?"  "Yeah, you know: I get a little each month, but not enough to live on!"      

FIRST DATE

August 26th, 2005 by lbbacurnay

This just tells you how hard it is to be single
nowadays. This was on the"Tonight Show" with Jay Leno
(daw).

Jay went into the audience to find the most
embarrassing first date that a woman ever had.  The
winner   described her worst first date experience.
There was absolutely no question as to why her tale
took the prize!

Marilyn said it was midwinter… snowing and quite
cold… and the guy had taken her skiing to Lake
Arrowhead. It was a day trip, no overnight. They were
strangers, after all, and truly had never met before.
The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until
they were headed home late that afternoon. They were
driving back down the mountain when she gradually
began to realize that she should not have had that
extra latte.

They were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest
room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion
suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a
while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and
slow going, there came a point where she told him that
he had better stop and let her pee on the side of the
road, or it would be the front seat of his car.

They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the
car, yanked her pants down and started. Unfortunately,
in the deep snow she didn’t have good footing, so she
let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady
her. Her companion stood on the side of the car
watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman
and refrained from peeking.  All she could think about
was the relief she felt despite the rather
embarrassing nature of the situation.

Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of
another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants,
the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly
glued against the car’s fender. Thoughts of tongues
frozen to pump handles immediately came to mind as she
attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal.
It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new
problem due to the extreme cold.

Horrified  by  her  plight  and  yet  aware  of the
humor, she answered her date’s  concerns  about "what
was taking so  long" with a reply that indeed,  she
was  "freezing  her  butt  off  and  needed some
assistance!"

He came around the car as she tried to cover herself
with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly
into his eyes, he burst out laughing.  She too, got
the giggles and when they finally managed to compose
themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as
hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced
with a real problem.

Both agreed it would take something hot to free her
chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking
about what had gotten her into the predicament in the
first place, both quickly realized that there was only
one way to get her free: so, as she looked the other
way, her first time date proceeded to unzip his pants
and pee her butt off the fender.

As for the Tonight Show… she took the prize hands
down… or perhaps that should be "pants down." And
you thought your first date was embarrassing!  This
gives a whole new meaning to being "pissed off."

Oh and how did the first date turn out? He became her
husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show.

WHY MEN LIE?

August 26th, 2005 by lbbacurnay

One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of
a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river

When he cried out, a fairy appeared and asked, "Why
are you crying?"

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into
water.

The fairy went down into the water and
reappeared with a golden axe.

"Is this your axe?" the fairy asked.

The woodcutter replied, "No."
The fairy again went down and came up with a silver
axe.

"Is this your axe?" the fairy asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

The fairy went down again and came up with an iron
axe.

"Is this your axe?" the fairy asked.

The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

The fairy was pleased with the man’s
honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the
woodcutter went home happily.

One day while he was walking with his wife along
the riverbank, the woodcutter’s wife fell into
the river. When he cried out, the fairy again
appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"Oh Lady, my wife has fallen into the water!"

The fairy went down into the water and came
up with Jennifer Lopez, beautiful as ever.

"Is this your wife?" the fairy asked.

Without a doubt, "Yes, my Lady" cried the woodcutter.

The fairy was furious. "You cheat! That is an
untruth!"

The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me,
my Lady. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if
I said ‘no’ to Jennifer Lopez, You will come up
with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also say ‘no’
to her, You will thirdly come up with my wife,
and I will say ‘yes,’ and then all three will be given
to
me. But Lady, I am a poor man and I will not be able
to take care of all three wives, so that’s why I
said ‘yes’ this time."

The moral of the story is: WHENEVER A MAN
LIES, IT IS FOR AN HONORABLE AND USEFUL
REASON…………!!!!!

CONTENTMENT

August 25th, 2005 by lbbacurnay

Have you ever, at any one time, had the feeling that life is bad,
real bad, and you wish you were in another situation?

You find life make things difficult for you, work sucks, life
sucks, everything seems to go wrong…

Read the following story… it may change your views about life:
After a conversation with one of my friends, he told me
despite taking 2 jobs, he brings back barely above 1K per month,
he is happy as he is.

I wonder how he can be as happy as he is considering he has to
skimp his life with the low pay to support a pair of old
parents, in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of a
household.

He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in
India… that happened a few years ago when he was really
feeling low and touring India after a major setback.

He said that right in front of his very eyes he saw an Indian
mother chop off her child’s right hand with a chopper. The
helplessness in the mother’s eyes, the scream of pain from the
innocent 4-year-old child haunted him until today.

You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty,
had the child’s hand been infected?? No, it was done
for two simple words- - -TO BEG!

The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be
handicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.

Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he was
eating half-way. And almost instantly, a flock of 5 or 6
children swamped towards this small piece of bread which was
covered with sand, robbing bits from one another. The
natural reaction of hunger.

Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive him
to the nearest bakery. He arrived at two bakeries and
bought every single loaf of bread he found in the bakeries. The
owner was dumbfounded but willingly sold everything. He
spent less than $100 to obtain about 400 loaves of bread (this is
less than $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily
necessities.

Off he went in the truck full of bread into the streets. As he
distributed the bread and necessities to the children (mostly
handicapped) and a few adults, he received cheers and bows from
these unfortunate. For the first time in his life he
wondered how people can give up their dignity for a loaf of bread
which cost less than $0.25.

He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How fortunate he is
to be able to have a complete body, have a job, have a
family, have the chance to complain what food is nice and what
isn’t nice, have the chance to be clothed, have the many
things that these people in front of him are deprived of…

Now I begin to think and feel it, too! Was my life really that
bad? Perhaps… no, I should not feel bad at all… What about
you? Maybe the next time you think you are, think about the child
who lost one hand to beg on the streets.

"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the
realization of how much you already have."

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times
we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the
one which has been opened for us.

It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but
it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing
until it arrives.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,you
can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures
and heartaches.

Please send this message to those people who mean something to
you, to those who have touched your life in one way or
another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to
those that make you see the brighter side of things when
you are really down, to those who you want to let them know that
you appreciate their friendship.

And if you don’t, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to you,
you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten
someone’s day with this message.

"True love knows no fear. If you believe in something beautiful, then it
is always worth the risk. For only those who are brave enough to risk
getting hurt are the only ones who find their true destiny. Those who are
afraid of what love brings never find it, and only those who are not
afraid of getting hurt are the ones who keep it."

HOW WILL I KNOW IF I MET THE PERSON I SHOULD MARRY?

August 21st, 2005 by lbbacurnay

The  choice  of  a  marriage  partner should not be based on "I get a warm,
wonderful  feeling  whenever  we’re  together  and I want to have that warm
wonderful feeling forever, so let’s go get married". Feelings have no logic
on  their  own.  They  need  to  be  acknowledged, of course, but they need
considerable assistance from your brain.

Marriage  means  choosing  the  person you will spend the rest of your life
with.  This, as you may have guessed, is a very long time to spend with one
person.  You  should  be  ready  to  share your life with this person. This
person  will  live  with you, eat meals with you, sleep with you, and go on
vacation  with  you.  More  important  yet,  this  person  will  share your
children.  You need to choose wisely. The decision should not be made based
on  feelings  alone.  You  need  to  ask yourself some tough questions. The
decisions  have to be made on solid considerations. Remember to look at the
"big picture".

Will  this  person  be  a good partner? Is she mature enough to put her own
selfish  desires  aside  to look out for what is best for the family? Is he
prepared to be a good provider? What is his track record? Is he responsible
enough to get a good job and keep it? How does this person feel about love,
commitment, and responsibility?

Do  you  ask  yourself,  "This  person would be perfect if…"? If you find
yourself  doing  that, or if that person is doing that to you, a compromise
needs to take place. Do you ask too much from this person? Does this person
ask  too  much  of  you?  When  you  are  in  love, insignificant perceived
"imperfections"  shouldn’t  matter. If you want to change someone into your
"perfect  mate"  just realize that change doesn’t happen overnight, and may
take  several  years  -  if it even happens. Ever heard of the saying, "You
should love people for who they are, not what they can potentially become"?

Does  your  mate  love  their  family? Does their parents approve of you or
vice-versa?  This  is  very  important  in Filipino culture, but extends to
anyone.  These  people  will  be  your future "in-laws" that you will spend
holidays with, family reunions, etc. Also, if you feel that this person was
raised  well, chances are, they will instill the same values in your future
children.

Will  this  person  be  a  good  parent?  Can you stand the thought of your
children  turning  out  exactly  like  this  person?  They  will, you know.
Children  spend  a  lot of time with their parents and consequently pick up
many  or  most of their parents’ character traits. You had better like your
spouse’s  traits  a  lot  because  you  will  be  seeing them again in your
children.

If something were to happen to you, would you completely trust this person,
alone,  with  the  ask  of raising and forming your children? This is not a
pleasant  thought,  but it is an important consideration. Not everyone dies
at  a  ripe  old  age  with  great  grandchildren  gathered around the bed.
Sometimes  a parent dies and leaves young children in the care of the other
parent.  If  you feel that you would need to be around to correct or lessen
this person’s influence on your children,then you are considering the wrong
person.

Does  this person share your faith in God? God does not give us children so
that  we can mold them into the coolest, most popular people in school. Our
job  is  to get them to heaven. To do that, we need to raise them believing
in God. It is tough to do that if only one parent believes. Saying "this is
right  and  this  is  wrong,  and  I want you to ignore Mommy until you are
thirty-five"  does  not  work.  Small  children  ask  about  eight  billion
questions  in  a  single  day. The answers to those questions go a long way
toward  forming  the kind of adults they will become. Who will be answering
those questions for your children?

Does  this  person you are marrying have sexual self-control? Single people
sometimes  have  this  idea that marriage is just some kind of lifelong sex
festival  and  that  as  long  as  they have each other, they will never be
tempted by other people. Wrong! There are many times in every marriage when
one  partner  or  the other is sexually unavailable do to illness, the last
months of pregnancy, and travel. There are also times when spouses just get
on  each  others’  nerves.  At  times like this, other people can seem very
appealing.  That  can  be  dangerous,  because  there  are  plenty  of very
attractive  people  out  there  who  are  willing to make them available to
married  men and women. Do you want someone who has never said "no" to sex?
If  he  is  not  good  at saying "no" at eighteen, it won’t be different at
forty.  Do  you  want  to  worry  about whether or not your spouse is being
faithful?

These are very important questions, and if you are not comfortable with all
of  the  answers,  you  should  definitely not marry this person. Remember,
people  are not "security blankets". Get to know yourself and know what you
want - because if you figure it out later, after you are married with kids,
you’ll  have  a  whole  lot of issues to deal with besides their character,
personality, and physical flaws.

None  if  this  is  to  say that feelings play no role at all in a marriage
decision.  You  don’t  have  to  say to yourself, "Well, I suppose that you
would  make  a  good spouse and parent, so even though I don’t particularly
like  you  I  guess I’ll marry you". You need to be happy and excited about
the  prospect  of  spending your life with someone. Your brain however must
acknowledge  that this person as a good catch. You’ll both will "know" when
you   both   feel   lucky   and   thank  God  every  day  for  each  other.

Don’t  listen to your heart alone or your head alone. Wait until your heart
and head agree.
