So Angry Today!

| Posted on 10/19/2010 11:24:00 AM | Posted in Mumblings

I AM SO ANGRY TODAY.............. IT IS SO UNFAIR........... WE ARE WORKING SO HARD AND THEN YOU WOULD HEAR THAT MANAGEMENT THINKS YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING?????????????

OH MY GOD... THIS ANGER.. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS ON MY OWN....

(VERSE #1)
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said it all

(VERSE #2)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

(CHORUS)
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
(THIRD TIME THRU, DS al CODA "GO TO CODA")

(VERSE #3)
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded old, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said it all

(VERSE #4)
Consider this
Consider this hint of the century
Consider this slip
That brought me to my knees pale
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
And now I've said too much

(CHORUS)
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

(BRIDGE)
That was just a dream
That was just a dream

(REPEAT VERSE #2)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(CODA)
That was just a dream
Try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream
just a dream, just a dream.. .

Praying the Rosary

Back in 2006, when i was at the peak of my depression and anxiety attack, i turned to the rosary when i felt i was at my wits end.

For the past month, i am again having trouble sleeping which almost always is a sign of me going into that 'anxiety mode' state again and praying the rosary helps me feel at peace until i actually fall asleep. It was stupid of me to stop praying it in the first place.

Oh well.. I really am working on improving and strengthening this 'FAITH' thing.

Silence for now is the BEST

I do not understand why people around me find it difficult to understand me. Sometimes I think I am speaking a different language. I guess I really need to admit now that I am having difficulty expressing what I truly feel.

I am an easy person to be with because I do not ask for much and I am easily pleased.. but do not ever promise me anything that I never asked in the first place and then fail…. It pisses me off. I never ask, I never demand, but do not volunteer something you cannot fulfill. That disappoints me…. BIG TIME.

I never start an argument but I always end up getting one… worst thing, after everything’s been said and done, bottomline will always be…IT’S MY FAULT. How unfair is that? And I always feel guilty.

Just for today I want to cry it all out….. cry out all these pent up frustrations because I am helpless and there’s nothing I can do about it… and then afterwards.. I will practice SILENCE.

I was able to come across a tv channel showing a priest telling people that yesterday Oct 2 was the feast of the Guardian Angels. I didn’t know that but I joined the priest in prayer anyway. I have always believed in guardian angels but I admit I took them for granted. Join me in being reminded of how our angels always watch over us.

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. AMEN.

To Cry or not To Cry

Sorrows which find no vent in tears may soon make other organs weep. Sir Henry Maudsley

Hans Selye spent most of his life studying the effects of stress on our bodies and how our systems struggle to adapt to our ever-changing environment. He emphasizes that all stress is not harmful and distinguishes between eustress-- positive stimulation and challenge that help us achieve--and distress--harmful, unpleasant stress, often the result of too many or too abrupt changes, boredom, frustration, or lack of purpose.(Hans Selye, The Stress of Life (revised edition, New York:McGraw Hill, 1976),74 and passim.)

Since individuals react differently to the same stimuli, we must take heed from the Seven Sages who advised, "Know thyself." One person's distress may be someone else's eustress. In his books Selye writes that we must not avoid stress but instead use it creatively to motivate personal achievement and at the same time maintain a sense of inner balance.

Humans release stress in a variety of ways such as fighting, yelling, laughing, talking rapidly, exercising, and crying. In his book The Vital Balance, Dr. Karl Menninger writes, "Weeping is perhaps the most human and most universal of all relief measures.

It is thought by many that there is a relationship between the suppression of emotions, psychological health, and disease. It is also generally accepted that crying is one way to expressing and releasing emotion. "Tears are the safety valves of the heart when too much pressure is laid upon it," wrote Albert Richard Smith

Live a Life that Matters

this is another one of those inspirational stuff that i received in email.. posting here and i hope it inspires someone today.............

A Life That Matters

Live a life that matters
Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter?
How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance, but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

Beef and Cheese Manicotti by Giada de Laurentis

| Posted on 9/27/2010 05:31:00 PM | Posted in Cravings

Ingredients

4 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 pound ground beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 (8-ounce package) manicotti
1 (15-ounce) container whole-milk ricotta
3 cups shredded mozzarella
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups marinara sauce
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces

Directions

Heat a heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, onion and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the meat browns and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool.

Brush 1 teaspoon of oil over a large baking sheet. Cook the manicotti in a large pot of boiling salted water until slightly softened, but still very firm to the bite, about 4 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the manicotti from the pot to the oiled baking sheet and cool.

Meanwhile, combine the ricotta, 1 1/2 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and parsley. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix. Stir the cooled meat mixture into the cheese mixture.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Brush the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Fill the manicotti with the cheese-meat mixture. Arrange the stuffed pasta in a single layer in the prepared dish and spoon the remaining sauce over.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese, then the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the stuffed pasta. Dot entire dish with the butter pieces. Bake the manicotti uncovered until heated through and the sauce bubbles on the sides of the dish, about 30 to 35 minutes. 

Let the manicotti stand 5 minutes and serve.

I just want to repost this as i am thinking of a Happy Thought today........ who would have thought i am capable of such mushiness.. hehehehe.. i just edited the poem from 10 things I Hate About You.......

Why do I Love thee... Let me count the ways....

You make me laugh at times when i wanted to cry....

You make me cry at times when i wanted to laugh...

You don't show up at times when I hope you would...

You simply show up at times when i didn't think you would...

You don't give me flowers, you don't give me chocolates, you don't give me gifts, you don't take me home.... But you don't give a damn about weather or time of day.... you would simply spend time with me if you could come what may....

I feel I'm the most stupid person when we argue about things.... Yet I feel i'm the luckiest person to have argued those things with you....

You don't say I Love You often... Yet you make me feel loved by the mere mention of Gen....

You don't call or text me as often as I do... But you always catch me offguard when you simply decide to...

You are not the prince charming in my fairy tale... the one i envisioned my happily ever after with.... yet you are the knight who freed me from the prison of MYSELF... THE ONE who showed me that reality existed... and OH it surely did!!!

All my life I have been looking for that someone I could connect my mind and my heart with... Now I know at last I finally did!!!

I Love you....

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away"

chain letters are not that bad, this one touched me... hope it touches your heart too.

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.

P.S. And, remember...
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day.
God

God has seen you struggling,
God says it's over.
A blessing is coming your way.

"Home"
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Never knew I could feel like this
Like Ive never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day Im loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

I haven't really prayed lately.. not because i lost faith but simply because I'm having difficulty expressing what i truly feel. There's just so much inside my heart... fear...anxiety..confusion...

Last night, i cried.. i didn't say anything, i didn't talk, i just allowed my tears to say it all.... i hope HE heard.. i hope HE understood.

Inner Turmoil
You may feel crazy on the inside, but to the outside world you are the picture of absolute normality. Keeping things inside may be driving you slowly insane, but the outside world will never know. Of course, it's not always good to keep things bottled up. It could lead to ulcers and hyper tension. So release that pent up insanity once in a while, we promise the world will not judge you and you might even have some fun exorcising your madness.

Rainbow Connection.... by Kermit the Frog

| Posted on 6/07/2010 04:35:00 PM | Posted in My Songs

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad. Carry you around when your arthritis is bad. Oh, all I wanna do is grow old with you.
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches. Build you a fire if the furnace breaks. Oh, It could be so nice to grow old with you.
I'll miss you, kiss you. Give you my coat when you are cold. Need you, feed you. Even let you hold the remote control. So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink. Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. Oh, I could be the man who grows old with you.
I wanna grow old with you.

A Prayer of Humble Trust ... Psalm 131.... Lord I have given up my pride and turned away from my arrogance. I am not concerned with great matters or with subjects too difficult for me. Instead I am content and at peace as a child lies quietly in it's mother's arms so my heart is quiet within me. israel , trust in the Lord now and forever.....

I know this is way below my type of songs but i just like the simplicity of the message.. it's like simply coming out and just being who you are!

And, when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever more

We, we're just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feeling die

I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our hearts and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right

CHORUS
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
"Cause everytime I look at you
I know we're starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again

If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All of the time we spent apart
All we did was break each other's hearts

And when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forevermore

REPEAT CHORUS

And now we're starting over again
This time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
We are starting over, over again

Give Us This Day Prayer will bring my Will into Harmony with GOD!
