The Hebrew Talmud says:

Since i'm NO WIFE or a mother... *tho I plan to be 10 years from now* I revised the prayer of a wife to suit my current title as a girlfriend/ partner :) and now would like to share this. I saw this prayer booklet in Carmelite Monastery in San Fernando, La Union during our "retreat"

Dear Lord,

Grant me the grace to be more patient:
when children are misbehaving,
and food is not eaten.
when the budget is short
and all bills are always rising.

When my husband is busy
and he tends to forget our anniversary

When laundries are piled up
and I have no time for myself

When household chores tend
to be routinary and I feel I am a robot.

I don't ask you lord, that I may be appreciated.
I don;t work that I may be praised;
nor do I complain or seek comfort.

What I ask of you is to grant me
the grace to be more persevering.

Because I will do these things again
just to give the best to my children.

Let all these household duties be
the expressions of my all encompassing
concern for them.

Let everything I do be a sign of my devotion
to all entrusted to my care.

Let everyday schedules not quench my
desire to serve my loved one.

Grant me the grace Lord, to be more
patient that I may continue to be a
faithful, and ever loving wife,
a committed and caring mother.

May I continue to express my love
through my works, as food is cooked.
And table is set, clothes are washed
and ready to wear, and house is clean.

Grant me the grace to control my temper.
I must always be there to listen to their
stories, accompany my husband
in his problems
to provide for their needs and ease
their pains.

Grant me the grace that I may be
a forever loving mother,
forever a faithful wife.
a true friend and a loyal companion
to my husband and children,
whom I most cherish and love,
and whom I consider your most precious gift.

AMEN

pauwi ako... naisip ko ang mga to:

bakit kailangang mag PDA ang mga mag jowa! hello?! ok lang sana kung smack or peck eh... wag nmn sana french kiss sa gitna ng kalsada! *kakakita ko lang to kanina sa glorietta 5*

bakit kailangang maging isang KABIT?... bakit hindi nalang tanggapin na pag may bf/gf or wifey or hubby ang isang tao... dapat iwasan na o wag na ipag pilitan ang sarili! diba dapat pag attached na ang isang tao, dapat loyal ka na doon sa ka relasyon mo? at kung ang lumalapit nga sayo yung attached na... dapat diba iwasan na to?

bakit pa perong it's complicated na relationship status... ano ba ito?... hindi ko kasi gets

bakit may pride? bakit pinapairal ang pride?... ano ba purpose nito? para sa akin... pinapagulo lang nito ang isipan ng isang tao o ng mga tao!

bakit ang mga tao specially boys... mahilig sa computer games? buong araw nakaharap sa pc... hindi ba sila nahihilo?

bakit ang mga girls... mahilig mag reduce ng diet... kahit hindi naman mataba?... bakit lagi tingin nila sa sarili mataba sila?... eh hindi nmn... *wala akong pag asa dito... dahil hindi ako mataba... payat ako at ng papataba*

bakit ang mga pulitika kelangang gumastos sa mga tv ads... and all that... bakit hindi nalang nila gamitin yung pondo nila para tumulong sa nakakarami? diba mas maganda yung endorsement by word of mouth?

bakit nakaka addict ang mga social networks?... self promotion at self gratification lang to mostly diba?... * oo alam ko over na nga ako sa pagpromote ng sarili ko eh... pero natutuwa kasi ako*
pero nakaka addict talaga diba?

... tomorrow na lang ulit... pagod na ako. :))

I finally renewed my Professional Regulations Commissions (PRC) License last week. And of course, experienced few glitches here and there... but hey, at least I've learned how to renew the I.D. Though I think it's better to be prepared with all the things that you'll need... So here's a guideline for those who'll be needing to undergo such process...

Here's to a hassle free PRC renewal process in Moraita, Manila.

Things to bring:

1. Photocopy of the PRC license

2. paste

3. black pen

4. money for renewal 450 php

5. money for picture 80 php

6. money for LBC payment

You can go for the EXPRESS renewal.. or the regular renewal (20 – 25 business days) where of course, you'll be the one to do all the process. Before you imagine looooooooooong lines, looooooooong hours of waiting, hot headed people, and hot crowed places... STOP... because, I opt to choose to renew it my self, and I'm ALIVE. *teehee*

Suggested Steps to follow:

1. In the information booth, located near the entrance of PRC. Tell your profession to the man on duty. Then he'll give you a form looking like the one below for REGULAR renewal.

2. Fill up the form. Make sure you don't miss out any other important information.

3. Get your pictures taken with your full name (Surname, First Name and Middle Initial) on the bottom part of the passport size I.D. Picture. You can choose to have the picture taken ahead of time, before going to PRC or you can also opt to have it taken at the MANY photo shops near the area of PRC building. Your 3^rd option would be, inside PRC. They have a picture booth there and for 80 php, 4 copies, it'll be ready in 2 minutes. that's how fast AND convenient it is. (I chose the latter)

4. As seen at the above form, depending on your Profession, you'd proceed to either Window 16, 18, or 30.

5. For profession starting with N, you'd proceed to window 16. make sure you have the filled up form with picture, another photo, and a photocopy of the PRC license.

6. Once you've reached the window counter, present the filled up form with picture, another photo, and a photocopy of the PRC license. And the person would be writing down something then they'd ask you to pay at the cashier.

7. Pay the needed amount and get the official receipt.

8. After paying, go back to the window where you presented all the form. Once at the window counter, present the form with the official receipt. The person on duty will verify it then will give you your claim stub. make sure you keep the claim stub. It's where you'd find when you'll go back to claim your I.D.

9. Once you have the claim stub you can opt to choose to pay additional 50 php (with in Metro Manila Addresses) or 70 php (Provincial Addresses) for LBC to send you your PRC I.D. Right at your home. If you chose to have it delivered by LBC,

10. Go to the booth of LBC near the picture booth. Fill out a form/ authorization form and have your claim stub ready. Make sure you fill out the “person to look for” if you won't be able to receive the package, personally.

11. Pay the allotted amount.

12. Make sure you get your receipt. Because that's where you can call the LBC customer service IF there would be some problems.

After step 12... you can now go home... wait for it. :)

There's your HASSLE FREE PRC licensing process :)

A 70-year old 'lolo' from the province was accompanied by a grandson to the US Embassy in Manila for his VISA interview. The lolo spoke not a word of English so the grandson translated for him. The Consul told the youngman to ask his grandfather why he wanted to go to the States.

"Bakit daw ho ninyo gustong pumunta sa Amerika?" The grandson translated.

"Sabihin mo gusto kong makita yung mga anak ko doon.."

"He said he wants to see his children there."

Fair enough, that's what the lolo's application indicated.

The Consul had another question. "Ask him why does he have to

go there?

Why can't his children just come and visit him here?"

The grandson translated this in Tagalog.

Lolo replied: "Sabihin mo kasi dito pinanganak yung mga anak ko. Nakita na nila ang Pilipinas. Gusto ko namang makita ang Amerika bago ako mamatay."

(Translation: "Tell him, my children were born here. They've seen the Philippines already. I just want to see America before I die.")

The HEARTLESS Consul was unimpressed as he declared, devoid of any emotion, that he was rejecting the visa application "because the applicant was unable to speak any word of English."

"Reject daw yung visa ninyo kasi hindi daw kayo marunong mag-Ingles."

The lolo was equally unimpressed. "Sabihin mo ito sa kanya at huwag na huwag mong papalitan ang sasabihin ko: "Putang ina niya, bakit siya nandidito eh hindi naman siya marunong mag Tagalog! ?"

Translated, "He said: You son of a bitch, how come you are here... you do not know how to speak Tagalog!?"

Taken aback, sense of humor still intact, the consul relented and approved lolo's visa application in pronto.

Go LoLo...Mabuhay ang Pinoy!!!

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.


P.S. I am posting this because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him.. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.
