To My Husband: Thank You for
Making Me So Happy

Opening the door to our home is like opening my heart to all the happiness my world has ever known. Waiting inside is an invitation to the warmest wishes and the highest hopes anyone will ever know. Love lives in its fullest and most beautiful form in the space that surrounds us. When I am with you, I am in a place that embraces me with open arms and keeps me close forever.

Few people on earth could understand
the worth of this treasure to me. But you
are a husband who understands so much
about what a marriage should be.

Thank you for making it so wonderful!

-Poem by Anna Tafoya

With Love from Your Wife

Frustrations ....!

~ Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do. ~ Pope John XXIII

The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you free.
Oprah Winfrey

"King of Pop" Michael Jackson..you'll be missed!!..R.I.P

2009-06-26T01:28:00.002+02:00

(CNN) -- Entertainer Michael Jackson has died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, according to multiple reports including the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press. CNN has not confirmed his death.

A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson's home after a 911 call.

Jackson, 50, had been in a coma at the hospital, sources told CNN.

Brian Oxman, a Jackson family attorney, said he was told by brother Randy Jackson that Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in west Los Angeles, California, Thursday morning.

Family members were told of the situation and were either at the hospital or en route, Oxman said.

Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN a 911 call came in from a west Los Angeles residence at 12:21 p.m.

Ruda said Jackson was treated and transferred to the UCLA Medical Center.

Asked specifics of the patient's condition, he said he could not discuss them because of federal privacy laws.

The music icon from Gary, Indiana, is known as the "King of Pop." Jackson had many No. 1 hits and his "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time. Jackson "as big as it gets" »

Jackson is the seventh of nine children in a well-known musical family. He has three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.

At the medical center, every entrance to the emergency room was blocked by security guards. Even hospital staffers were not permitted to enter. A few people stood inside the waiting area, some of them crying.

A large crowd was also gathering outside the hospital, according to video footage.

Outside Jackson's Bel Air home, police arrived on motorcycles. The road in front of the home was closed in an attempt to hold traffic back, but several people were gathered outside the home.

Greatest Hero...

Dear Husband,

You will always be
my greatest hero,

riding off into
the sunset.
You have a kind
and caring heart,
yet you're strong
and protective,
dependable and
trustworthy.
And you will always
own my admiration
and gratitude.
I know just how lucky
I am to have
a great husband

when I don't
think about you.
When trouble comes knocking,
just hearing your voice
gives me a sense of comfort
and peace.
It pleases me to know
that the love
you've instilled in my
heart will be with
me all the days
of my life.

I hope you have
a Father's Day
that's as fantastic
as you are.

It was the most heart breaking phone call, that ever took a place. On March 25th of 2009.

I have called mom just around 2pm and she was crying so much. She had a hard time to speak, and i asked her why she was crying and she told me that my grandma was admitted to the hospital. She got a phone call from my aunt in the afternoon and the aunt told her the bad news and that my grandma was very weak, she was having difficulties to breath and the doctor said that her lungs was in bad condition.

I called the aunt directly and asked her about grandma's condition and she told me that grandma was unconscious and hooked up to a respirator. I asked my aunt to put the phone to my grandma's ear and i started to speak to her 'grandma wake up..open your eyes..it's me calling lingling..please open your eyes so we know that you are with us..' and at the same time my aunt was trying to call her name but she remained unconscious.

Then I told my aunt that i will call again later (that was round 9.30pm). As soon I hung up the phone. I called my mom again ...but dad answered the phone and he told me that they were ready to go back to 'kampung' and mom was so sad. 1 hour later I called mom and she said that they were on their way and almost reached the hospital and i told her that i will call again in 10 minutes. 5 minutes later I received an sms from mom said that grandma have passed away, (3am) without even saying goodbye, my heart was just broken. I couldn't speak, I didn’t know what to say. I just got really weak.. I had to sit down....Just to think and be able to talk. My eyes started swelling from tears so much, of the difficult time, that she have passed. And to think of it I talked to her on the phone, not long ago (week before), I just said "Hello" and said ''Happy Birthday''. I didn’t even had a chance to give her, her birthday present. She just turned 72 years old on 14th March.

Who would ever knew, that she'll be gone so fast. That will never be able to see her again. Now that the spring is coming...and the most of the things I remember is the last time that we've spent together. At least she have stayed with us most of the time during our 2 months holiday in Sabah. The last time I saw her was on 4th February and the last time I spoke to her was on 18th March.

Her never endless love, that's what kept us all.....And to see her being gone will be never forgotten at all. She will be missed a lot....A LOT !

But will see her someday in the heaven. The God took her away from us....but she will be in a better place, She'll be taken care of there and she wont feel the pain anymore but She'll be happy again.

In memory of my grandmother Kagu@Amelia
March 14,1937 - February 25,2009.

Thirty-two things that change when you have a baby

2008-11-26T12:28:00.001+01:00

What changes when you have a baby? A better question may be: What doesn't change? Here, writer and mom Rebecca Woolf lists her most notable post-baby observations. Then scroll down to read our favorite comments from readers about how their babies changed their lives.

1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.

2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.

3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

4. You respect your body ... finally.

5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.

6. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.

7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.

8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.

9. Your heart breaks much more easily.

10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.

11. Every day is a surprise.

12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)

13. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.

14. You become a morning person.

15. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.

And from our readers...

Today our Rev. Fr. Fundes Motiung turning 43 years old..let us pray for him...

Prayer for Priests
O Jesus, our great High Priest,
Hear my humble prayers on behalf of your priest, Father Fundes Motiung
Give him a deep faith

a bright and firm hope
and a burning love
which will ever increase
in the course of his priestly life.

In his loneliness, comfort him
In his sorrows, strengthen him
In his frustrations, point out to him

that it is through suffering that the soul is purified,
and show him that he is needed by the Church,
he is needed by souls,
he is needed for the work of redemption.

O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests,

take to your heart your son who is close to you
because of his priestly ordination,
and because of the power which he has received
to carry on the work of Christ
in a world which needs him so much.

Be his comfort, be his joy, be his strength,

and especially help him
to live and to defend the ideals of consecrated celibacy. Amen.

Happy Birtday Fr. Fundes.........
May the blessed of God be with you always..!!

Seperti Yang kau ingini

Please reader...listen to it carefully...close your eyes and listen to the lyrics.....

I have been thought about this after listening to this song...i really wanna change..from my old ME to my new ME..but how.....and i asked the priest for his opinion i wrote..''the lyrics touched me.... ''KU TELAH MATI DAN TINGGALKAN CARA HIDUPKU YANG LAMA SEMUANYA SIA-SIA DAN TAK BERARTI LAGI
HIDUP INI KULETAKKAN PADA MEZBAH-....well i have the intention to leave my old ME but dont know how couse many influences and temptations around me.....do you have any idea Father..?? pls share...

and he replied '' Carolyn, to leave our old selves memang susah. but it needs our own decision and will to decide. God cannot interrupt our will because he respect our decision. But he will strenghten & encourage us ONCE we have decided to do so....''

make me more sad when he said like that but actually it's true...it's our own decision and will.....but the question is....Am I Ready?? mmmm ....maybe i need to pray more to get more courage and strength! let us pray together k.

Suami : Ini dah melampau. Gunakan telefon sesuka hati. Ayah tak gunakan telefon rumah, ayah gunakan telefon tempat ayah bekerja.

Isteri : Saya pun sama juga, gunakan telefon tempat saya bekerja.

Anak : Oh sori..saya gunakan SMS sahaja. Untuk panggilan saya gunakan telefon tempat saya bekerja juga.

Bibik (amah): Jadi apa masalahnya? Semua orang gunakan telefon tempat bekerja. Sama juga dengan saya!!!....

To those who are married, .. not married .. and soon to be married ...

2008-10-15T21:56:00.017+02:00

Hello there...i received forwarded email from someone and it is very meaningful ...and I wanna share this with you..

'' When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain.. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work.. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up
stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead. :((

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah..blah..blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!''

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

All the best !!

Anger Management ! ~~Tag by Valerie

2008-08-07T10:51:00.002+02:00

1) When u have nothing nice to say, just shut up.

2) When u are angry or upset, refrain yourself and save other innocent people from taking the brunt of your steam.

3) Do not say things that you don't mean and will regret later because to apologise is much harder than just shut your mouth.

4) Please recognize the other (innocent party's) effort to remain diplomatic.

5) Bear in mind that other people have their own problem too maybe bigger than yours

6) Exhaustion will cloud your judgement. Stay away from people. Just go to sleep.

Ordinary Beautiful day..Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary Mom & Dad!

2008-07-03T07:32:00.003+02:00

I'd like to take a moment of personal privilege to wish my parents a very Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary today. ….30 years! wow, that just blows me away.

They started dating when they were in secondary school and got married when my dad were 22yrs old and mom were 19yrs old. They had 5 kids, I'm the eldest of my siblings..I have two brothers and two sisters. They (my parents) have both lived and grew up in Tenom,Sabah and I myself have lived most of my life in Kota Kinabalu . So today I wish them all the best…love you both!

Now, of course, I'm sharing all this with my husband (Martin) and my new baby son (Ryan). And in every case it is a slightly different relationship, with a slightly different impact. I don't know what path my kids will walk.

But I know Mom and Dad gave me a rock to stand on. I'm hoping to offer that same rock to my own kids.

And I hope -- and intend -- that my husband and I will someday be where they are now, looking back on a life that filled with love, love of children, of son-in-law and daughter-in-law(soon to be), of grandchild, of friends, but above all to the Lord. Once again mom & dad...

Happy 30th Wedding Anniversary !!

Loves & hugs from;

your eldest daughter, son-in-law Martin and grandson Ryan

A Special Man...

2008-06-15T11:24:00.001+02:00

Dear Husband,
There's a special man
in the world
whose heart is full of love;
whose soul is overflowing with
courage and strength;
whose hands are gentle;
whose arms are warm;
whose eyes bespeak
caring and understanding;
whose words lend
courage and inspiration;
and whose every action
says, "I love you."
I call him "Husband,"
and I'm grateful for him.

Happy Father's Day!

Always Thankful...

2008-06-15T11:15:00.007+02:00

God couldn't be everywhere
so he created fathers
to protect souls down here.
Fathers lend strength;
they give love;
and they show the way
to the happiness
that we've dreamed of.
With hands of steal
and hearts of gold,
they're like guardian angels,
noble and bold.
And I'll always be thankful
that God sent me,
a father that encouraged me
to believe in me.

Happy Father's Day!
I appreciate everything
you've done!

Lots Of Love....

2008-06-13T22:31:00.005+02:00

Parents often worry
about whether they're
raising their children right.
They search for answers each day
and lie awake at night.
There are so many theories
about how to bring up
children best,
but somehow those theories
always fail the test.
But if parents want to
raise children right and true,
there's only one thing
they must do--
follow in the footsteps
of Him above,
and give their children
lots of love!

..something to share....

2008-06-13T21:52:00.006+02:00

pheww!! at last..Ryan is sleeping. Me & hubby had nice dinner together..i made beef in the oven and eat with rice and sauté mushroom. Ok jua la..buli la kampung2. Anyway, lepas tu macam besa la..me duduk depan komputer and bloggy. Surf punya surf..sa ternampak ni satu blog and this guy telling some lessons what he have learned in his six years of marriage. it is very interesting and i also wanna share with you all....

1. If I am wrong, say sorry.
2. Not a good idea to talk too much when either of us are angry.
3. Never forget our anniversary & my wife’s birthday.
4. Begin and end a day with hugs & “I love you”. They are never old fashion.
5. Listen & learn not to give solutions all the time.
6. Laugh at each other’s mistakes. We shouldn’t be too serious.

simple....that is because life is never fair!

''Did i Marry The Right Person?''

2008-06-13T00:48:00.002+02:00

I've been thinking all these while...''Did I Marry The Right Person??'' Now I found the answer. An article i saw from friend's blog.

==================================================
During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"
In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse/partner. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit).

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happens TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?"
And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.
This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious.
But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it.
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could.

And TEMPORARILY you’d feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can "make"love .

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.
