greatest gift..

i do believe in the saying that "everything happens for a reason"..though i stumble and fall i learn how to stand up again and show to the world that im strong.though at first many people judge me and hate me for what i've done still i prove to them that they're wrong and someday they will just eat what they've said against me.
But now,thank God everything runs smoothly,i just realize that its a blessing in disguise.im happy and very much contented with my life.im so lucky because God gave us the very precious gift that every couple wanted and that is our baby yhuan emmanuel.everything is so wonderful and that is all because of the two boys in my life,my baby yhuan and my lavz em-em..

for you..

Somewhere out there.by BlueDreams

Would I could take a handful of people,
Dreamers of passion and keepers of love,
Climb into a ship that's as sharp as a steeple,
And rocket away to the stars up above.

Find us a planet that's warm and inviting,
Land in our ship and then send it away,
To finally do something strange and exciting,
And live all our lives for the moment, the day.

No more then to witness the wanton and greed,
No more the corruption or moral decay,
To live lives of chivalry, honor decreed,
What more could I wish for, what more could I say?

Would I could leave here with those I call friend,
Would we could travel to far away place,
Would were our lives filled with joy of no end,
Somewhere out there in the stars and the space

for the love of my life..

Because Of You.

I dreamed about having someone there for me, someone i could talk to
then i met you and told you everything, so i guess my dream came true
you helped me through more than anyone else, and that means lots to me
i really want to thank you but i get embarrassed, so this is my way of letting you see
you stopped me from being sick and saved me from my knife
you let me see there is people that care about what happens in my life
you gave me something to work for which made me feel so loved
you involved me in my life and no longer aside was i shoved

Then i had theses nightmare's that you were going to leave
but i put them to the back of my head, bcos i wanted to believe
you told me i could tell you anything and that you would always be there
you promised i could trust you and you said you would always care
and to be really honest with you i put my heart on my sleeve
then i thought you took it and broke it, so then i couldn't believe

But now I'm having the dreams again and i know your still here for me to talk to
so even though i had the stupid nightmares my dreams were the ones to come true
and this little poem is just to let you know they only became true because of you

my recipe

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES


2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons Kahlua Vanilla Rum
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional)
3 small or 2 large eggs
2 cups chocolate chips or chunks
1 1/4 cup walnuts, pecans or Macadamia nuts, chopped
1/2 cup raisins, Craisins or dried cherries, chopped

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Before Baking:

Remove butter and eggs from refrigerator about 20 minutes before baking. Soak raisins, Craisins or dried cherries (or a combination of these) in 4 tablespoons of Kahlua Rum for 1 hour before using. After dried fruit have soaked up the rum, measure two tablespoons of rum/raisin liquid and reserve to add to cookie dough.
Cut sheets of Reynolds Parchment Paper to fit the cookie sheets that will be used. The paper helps to keep the bottoms of the cookies from becoming too browned and the cookies slide off the hot sheets easily, making clean-up a breeze.


Making the Cookies:

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together butter and the two kinds of sugar until creamy. Add one egg at a time, beating after each one is added. Stir in 2 tablespoons of vanilla rum and the bean paste.
On a piece of Reynolds Parchment Paper, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Folding paper in the center, gradually pour flour mixture into the mixer bowl while mixing at the lowest speed. Mix only until combined; do not over-mix or the cookies will be tough.

Using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts and dried raisins/fruit.

Drop onto baking sheets lined with Reynolds Parchment Paper by spoonfuls using a small ice cream or cookie scoop or two large tablespoons.

Bake from 9-12 minutes or until golden brown along the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before removing to a cooling rack or flat cool surface.


Variation: Drizzle or dip cooled cookies with tempered chocolate or dipping chocolate.

Makes 50-60 cookies, depending on size.

Note: Most of the alcohol evaporates during baking, but you may substitute the rum with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in 1 1/2 tablespoons of water in this recipe, if desired.

The Black Sheep
A professor is sent to darkest Africa to live with a primitive tribe. He spends years with them, teaching them reading, writing, math and science.

One day the wife of the tribe's chief gives birth to a white child. The tribe is shocked, and the chief pulls the professor aside and says, "Look here! You're the only white man we've ever seen and this woman gives birth to a white child. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened!"

The professor replied, "No, Chief. You're mistaken. What you have here is a natural occurrence, what we in the civilized world call an albino! Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black one. Nature does this on occasion."

The chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell you what. You don't say anything more about that sheep and I won't say anything more about that white child."

what is love?

Love is what keeps us working, moving, alive. And when somebody finds that special someone, you feel lighter and happier. One heart always desires but never rests. Dreams come true every day, just let somebody special look into your eyes."

thoughts of the day!

There are two principles in life. First: to defend ourselves by the tool "SPEECH" without concentrating on any action plan. The Second: to keep our mouth shut and work with the primitive tool "ACTION PLAN". The First principle is handy and just forms a part of Life. The Second one is the way of Life that will lead us to the desired position by a much simpler route."

How Did You Know lyrics
Send "How Did You Know" Ringtone to Cell Phone
I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile

My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine

CHORUS
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life

I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love

In my family, Filipino chicken curry is a dish that we usually make during birthdays and parties back in the Philippines. But here in Canada, I continue cooking this chicken dish during special occasions because my family and friends loves it too. They said that when they start eating this chicken curry, they feel a little burning sensation in their mouth and wow really spicy delicious.
