She got all what she wanted - boys, things, and she was one step ahead to the limelight to stardom. There never was a time that she was ignored by boys who fantasized of her, and she got friends who always are jealous of her luscious beauty, thinking why they were not blessed with the same. With just a smile, she perturbed the guys… but that was until yesterday, when she realized she did not have everything she wanted.

She had a last glimpse of herself on the big-sized mirror before she made her way out the house to meet her boyfriend. She was wearing a blue, old, faded, fit jeans that showed her big sexy butt and long legs. She paired it with a red short shirt. On top of her shirt was an open black jacket that suited her well, which further showed her simple elegance. Her breasts are noticeably big like roses in full bloom.

“Wow! You’re so sexy!” exclaimed Rico, while he made big strides toward Angela. Rico, her boyfriend, moved to give her a kiss on her sensually red lips. She opened her mouth beckoning him in and they lavishly took their moments to fulfill their desires.

“Ready?” teased Rico after a moment, looking at Angela’s eyes in a flirty manner.

“You bet,” equally flirted Angela with a sweet smile on her face. The tone of her voice and the sweet smile painted on her lips made Rico to desire her more. Her long curly hair added to her charisma, plus the fact that her eyes were so damn sexy made her irresistible. Rico made an attempt to kiss Angela one more time before he opened his car motioning her in.

Rico’s lips slowly moved towards Angela’s. They were in a private room somewhere in town. They were staying overnight. Angelica parted her lips and let Rico probed in. Rico’s naughty hands started to undress Angelica who did not mind getting naked in front of him. Rico stopped kissing her and looked passionately at Angela’s body. He was ablazed and rejuvenated. He hurriedly undressed himself ready for the fight. He slowly laid her down on the bed and returned to kissing her.

Angelica gasped when she felt the cool air on her naked body. She made her decision before she went out with Rico. She wanted to make it with Rico. Rico was her boyfriend for already 3 months. Although Rico had never asked something like that, she deemed, though, right for Rico to have her. She responded to Rico’s movements and she felt sheer ecstasy. The room was filled with moans of pleasure. While her body automatically responded to her boyfriend’s movement, her mind suddenly traveled five years back when she was in the same situation, but not with Rico but to a guy she loves till this moment. She was desperate that time of showing how she loved him even to the point of yielding her body. She did everything to please him and she did not regret the first time she surrendered herself. Although there was pain, it was pure bliss.

She mentally pictured the man’s face. “Ohhhhh,” she groans. She felts Rico’s movements getting faster, and she moved in rhythm.

“Paulllloooooo,” she wailed as she reached her orgasm, writhing in pleasure. She opened her eyes and saw Paulo’s face. “Paulo,” she moaned for the second time.

Rico was suddenly taken aback and halted from his movements. He was mortified to hearing an unfamiliar name from Angela’s lips at the peak of their love-making. Furrow lines appeared on his forehead. His eyes were questioning. He asked who Paulo was. His demeanor changed from loving into something different, and then he lurched.

“What?” asked Angela in confused state after bouncing back to reality. Then she realized what had just happened. She covered her mouth in despair.

“Who the hell is Sam?” shouted Rico in wince, desperate of knowing who Sam is yet afraid of learning who is he. His fists clenched in anger yet unable to lay them down to Angela.

“I… I…m sor..ry,” Angelica whispered on the verge of tears. Crystals of water started to flow from her eyes. “I’m sorry, I did not mean it.”

Rico was furious. He’s ego cannot accept it. He put on his garments and made his way out of the room. Angela was left alone, crying in vain. While it is true that she is the envy of many, she’s still unlucky. The man she loves, she cannot get… the man who makes her mind infidel.

I've been dreaming about you a lot. Until now, I still can't believe that I'm carrying you inside me. I've never imagined that my tummy would get this big. It's all so surreal!
You are very active and you give me such happiness whenever you make your presence known. You never fail to amaze me with your kicks, punches and somersaults. You've become so strong. Sometimes you shock me with your movements and it's so sweet of you to tickle me on the side..

My Angel, I am looking forward for the day we will meet, but there’s a part of me that will miss having you as mine and mine only. I will really miss the feeling of your jabs and kicks inside of me. There’s a part of me that’s so proud of you, of your feistiness and fortitude, of your will to come into this world when I was so certain that I can’t do my part.

And now, feeling good, except for the suffocating heartburn, I am really very proud we have come this far. i felt you again today, and tomorrow I will see you move and cover your face with your cute little hands as if telling me “I’m shy Nanay!”…

I am proud of you, my strong, squirmy, feisty little Angel who still lives in my body, poking my ribs and visibly moving back and forth across my upper torso.

Few more weeks from now, you and I will share the same world. World full of ups and downs. Few more weeks from now, I will begin and ends my day beside you. Few more weeks from now, I can really hold you close, kiss you, hug you and can call you really mine. Few more weeks from now, I’m going to be really complete.



I love you my angel!:s-angel:


Love,
Nanay

How many times have you heard this saying each day. If not then you must know the true story between the lines. People complain about all the problems in the world but never explain the good. I believe to everything there is a reason. Listen and you'll learn the unfinished lesson yet to be told.
Life is its own definition its own opinion. Now many have rough, miserable moments that affected them continuosly. Others were blessed with what seems eternal "luck" or outragous amounts of happiness.Some even both.
Its truely a mystery whether you'll live to see the next day whether you'll find true love. Or even finish school or this last drink. Many wonder why life is so cruel. Why reality woke me up in the middle of the night.
Well with all there's a purpose. If life were so fair how then will we learn from our mistakes. How will we learn how to move on or let go if we have nothing to hold on too, to begin with. No more rainbow's because there was no rain.
Some even say " If life were so fair then why do roses have thorns". Roses are a symbol of love showing how beautiful yet painful it can be. Life's way of a warning.
There must be a cause for there to be an effect. There must be a problem for there to be a solution. Could it be possible to live with no guilt,flaws,mistakes.....one can only dream. When you think about it life just isn't life if it were fair.
Even smiling can get tiresome at one point of time. There will be a time. There will be a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to be honest, a time to lie, a time to change, a time to hate, a time to lie, a time to love, time will never come late.
What many fail to understand is why life was built so unstable yet strong. So suffocating yet were able to breath.

Stop and think
The question still remains.....or do you already know the answer?:s-rolleyes: :s-rolleyes: ]]> Random Thoughts nylirud http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=32677 Memories http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=31952&goto=newpost Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:14:57 GMT Memories...A wonderful way to reminisce the past.

Ah, the motorcycle rides.
In the heat of the summer when the sun beats down without mercy, and the air was so hot and piercing that it dried down my skin riding on the back of my father’s motorcycle, I could smell his salty sweat cruising all the way to Dagupan City. My classmates teased me when I was in highschool because of the annoying helicopter sound our motorcycle emits. Ha, don't really care much about it, I enjoyed riding the bike with him and wish I’d grow older so I could drive it myself too.

How Do You Take Notes?
I am looking for help in taking notes. I take notes in a wide variety of settings. A number of books I enjoy reading have a lot of information I like to put in outline for bullet point form. I have some podcasts that contain information that I will often jot down for later use. Of course, work provides the biggest source for taking notes. Years ago I thought a mobile device would be an ideal solution for keeping all of these notes in one place as well as always having my implements for taking notes with me. How naive of me. :? Since 1998, I have not seen a single note taking application or database application that lends itself ideally to this for my mobile device, and I think I have looked at them all and installed most of them. I use HanDBase for a journal of sorts to record phone logs and key events, but it is rather limited when it comes to freeform note taking. Unfortunately for my wallet, I even own a license to some mobile note taking applications that I have long since uninstalled as being too cumbersome or limiting. I am waiting for Evernote to release a Pocket PC application, but they have been promising that since 2004 so I suspect I'll accumulate a few more gray hairs before that day comes.
Even when it does, Evernote may not be the solution. I use it on the desktop as a solid replacement for the "Notes" feature in Outlook, but having a laptop means using it for anything other than sitting down and inputting notes is out of the question. A laptop is too cumbersome to be spontaneous. I am optimistic it will (someday) work when released.
All of that said, maybe I am not even taking notes the right way. I am a Steno Pad person. It is smaller than an 8.5X11 pad and yet still a usable size. Will that ever translate into a Pocket PC experience? I don't know. I readily admit I let technology get in the way of doing something right or effective. I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to use my mobile device when, for a particular purpose, something else would work better. I finally gave up on trying to use it as a music player. Maybe WMP11 for Windows Mobile will fulfil my needs. My point is, I should really learn to take notes well in the real world before I try an translate that to the mobile electronic world.
When in a structured environment, such as a classroom or a meeting, I am an effective note taker. That isn't the problem. It is when I hear a bit of info I want to jot down, catalog and use in the future that I get bogged down. I have multiple levels of criteria for determining where to record my to-do lists for example. Is it really simple? That is a task. Is it a series of tasks? ListPro. Is it a long series of tasks? Pocket Plan in conjunction with Microsoft Project on the desktop fills that bill. Is it just an interesting tidbit of info? Well, that could go in ListPro I suppose, but it really isn't designed for that. I run into the same problem with note taking, both electronically and in the real world. A post-it note is out of the question for longevity, but it is often the first place I scribble down some bit of info I will need later - with later being defined in terms of hours or minutes, not days. My steno pad would hold it of course, but how do I find all of those interesting tidbits? They are spread across many pages over many notebooks, which is about as effective as winking at a woman in room when the lights are out. Plus, paper really falls flat when you want to expand upon your notes. You wind up doing them over instead of trying to squeeze in more info with arrows trying to help you keep it all straight. Most of all, paper isn't easily searchable. Half the time I can't find my steno pad, much less a note in it. It may be in a different steno pad altogether. (Note: having 3 pads going simultaneously is a stupid practice. Trust me. I speak from experience here. )
So, how do you do it, or do you do it at all? How do you take every thought down, every idea, concept, a collection of musings, all the way up to notes for an entire semester? Paper, silicon? At this point, I honestly don't care if my Pocket PC is the answer. I would pay $100 for a serious note taking application that helped me collect and organize notes. If I could get that to work well, I would use my Pocket PC to take notes in Word then transfer them later. Maybe Evernote is the answer and I just haven't figured out how to use that bewildering tree on the left to properly organize things. Keep in mind that when I say organize, I mean assign a category or categories and have some sort of chronological structure to it. That tree in Evernote strikes me as haphazard for some reason. I am seriously anal about that kind of thing. That is why I never could get Microsoft's OneNote to work for me. That tabbed thing drove me nuts. I don't want that "page" experience. I have a steno pad for that. A Tablet PC is out of the question, as is any other piece of hardware larger than my K-Jam - at least for the portability side of things - those other devices are too large to have with me at all times. From a desktop perspective, my laptop is fine.
I am very serious about this too. Point me to a book on how to effectively take notes. I am that kind of person. I read a book on how to read a book, something I highly recommend you do if you read non-fiction books. I am open to reading a book on how to take notes too, but it has to be broad, more than how to take notes in school, or how to take notes in a book - something "How to Read a Book" covers quite effectively. I want "How to take notes for every conceivable situation in your life."
Thoughts, opinions or sharing your similar fruitless quests for taking notes welcome. ]]> Random Thoughts sisolanda http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=30712 DISIPLINA: RAMUT TI ASENSO http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=30481&goto=newpost Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:15:00 GMT DISIPLINA....paka alaan tayo akid ti umnu nga disiplina tapnu itayo maipakat atuy ti bagi tayo ken ti pada tayo nga tao iti lubong nga inaty pagtataengan ita....DISIPLINA....maysa nga galad nga maliplipatan tayon sa metten..DISIPLINA nga maysa nga napateg nga kasapulan tayo lalo sitayo nga Pilipino, ita nga adda tayo iti krisis...financial, political and i can say spiritual crisis..DISIPLINA, intayo kuma nga ipakat ita...tulungan tayo ti gobyerno tayo nga ngumato...ta uray nu kasanu ti aramiden dagiti mangipapaulo kanyatayo nu madi tayo met ida nga tulungan, awan ti mapasamak kanya tayo....tulungan tayo ti gobyerno tayo....ket ti pinaka importante ket ti DISIPLINA...ngem kasanu tayo kadi nga agprogress nu ti nagsimple laeng nga awaten ket madi tayo pay maaramid?kasla daytan ney litrato nga adda naka attach........nakadak dakkel tay nakasurat, madi da pay suruten..apo ketdi....

Yes they smile at me, I smile at them. But everything is superficial. They say in their minds, who are you? And that is a question I do not want to answer.


Thrice this week I had been asked the same question. "Are you happy now??"


And three times this week I realized that happiness is not just a feeling. It's a being. It's something you don't feel in a moment of time. It's something you are. You choose to be. But will you choose happiness even if it is a lie? Allow me these moments of truth.


Laughter doesn't mean happYness. Smiles don't mean happYness. When I laugh and when I smile, I may not be happy. I may not be sad either. I may be NEUTRAL – a feeling of a neuter. (No, that is not me trying to be funny) Neutral is when you don't have a feeling of your own. You constantly mirror the feelings around you but inside is a vacuum that remains hollow.


No, really, there are times when all I want to do is cower up in a cave and shut the world around me. But more than that, I want to go away - to fly to an extremely far place where expectations and standards do not exist. Nevertheless, in this far-off refuge, I would still like to be close - close to home so I can come back whenever I feel the need of it.


I would like to exist in an extreme world – a completely indifferent haven with an open door to the fireplace of home. I do not like to live in the middle ground, like now. Living in the line is living in a place where I have to prove myself over and over again. It is a divide where people form your identity from the little knowledge and large prejudices they have of you.


Not there, please. Bring me to a place where there is ultimate silence and ultimate noise. Bring me to the extremes. Not in the middle. Not in the line. Take me both ways. True enough, feelings are just feelings. I have been trying so hard to survive in this border where unknown people swarm around me. It's tiring - tiring to pretend, tiring to lie.


am i really happy?

This is the thought that i live by right now. . It was just a few months ago that i realized the importance of presence. Physical presence, that is.
You know how hard it is living your life away from your life itself?
Unthinkable, i guess. Composing yourself, trying to face each passing day with the thoughts of being with the one you long to be with.
Battling out life's challenges, with your strength, miles away from you.
Mingling with earth's unpredictable instances, with your inspiration, far from where you stand.
It will be too hard to manage.
But you have to.
Coz you want to live your life.
Coz you don't want everything to be wasted.
Coz you want everything to be perfect.
And that's the thing that even makes it harder. You want everything to be perfect that even a single shortcoming will be regarded as an unsolvable issue to you. Even a simple misunderstanding will be impossible to get over with.
But still, you hold on. You keep everything that holds happy memories preserved inside of you. You repeat unforgettable moments in your mind. You dream of days that you'll be with the one you love. You hope for the moment when you can look straight in his eyes and say how much you love him. You can't wait for the time that you'll see his smile. That sweet smile which makes every other thing seem worthless. That sweet smile that gears up your nerves when given to someone else.
Fortunately, there are times that your heart's craving is granted. You get to spend a day or two with the very special person in your life. You get to have that smile you were yearning for. You get to see the only thing that brings you to the highest point of happiness. Once in a while, you get to be with your LIFE.
It's a pity to realize that you can't have everything in the world. Even though you want it badly. There are always limitations. There are always boundaries.And that boundaries keep us apart...Apart from the one who owns the smile who used to be mine....
The one who used to be my life..... ]]> Random Thoughts rhainne_angel http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29811 Confession of a Sinner... http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29809&goto=newpost Mon, 18 May 2009 02:02:12 GMT it was a lazy Sunday morning..i was lying down reading Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie, when suddenly a wonderful music was playing on the air...i put down the book and just closed my eyes as i listen and wander to the music playing..

These are part of the great plan which i believe our Creator has in store for each individual.We live our lives as we are meant to live them,with some choices and chances—part of the great calling to become the person we aspire to be.No one can predict what is ahead of us.It might be that as we go along the way,we will encounter great challenges that will truly test our patience.And as we accept these challenges,some might not be ready to hurdle the difficulties that each day brings.But having faith in God and in one’s self believing in our heart that we can bring out the best in us,and having eagerness to fight whatever obstacles or hindrances,we can easily go along the path we chose to travel.Though the road we chose to traverse seem so narrow,it is in our great effort to survive or to find the direction that may lead to the realization of our highest aspirations.


Each day brings many opportunities that offers life’s best to people who really have the heart to dream big…We should not be afraid to dream big and to follow the dreams we want to achieve wherever it may lead.Nothing can hold us back from exploring our wildest wishes and aspirations.Putting into action whatever choices made,we should be responsible to commit the best effort.For the roads we chose to traverse will never be free of humps and curves.There will be rough stones or hindrances,big boulders blocking the way,and obstacles we have to face but eventually,I believe that there will be turns that lead to a smoother path ahead.We just have to keep all our hopes alive within us.Sometimes the problem we encounter is more than that which we can handle,yet,tomorrow seems to offer a solution.The moment we are waiting for seemed so far and is unclear to perceive.Life is not just an affair that burdens us with obstacles.But looking at the brighter side of all these burdens and sacrifices,we soon realize that the future holds many promises.We just have to set in our minds that difficult times don't last forever.


Hardships of life open your eyes to things beyond your sight.It will make you grow and challenge to go on.It will make you mature and encourage you in your endeavor.Uncertainties in life that we often encounter could be one of the factors that we may lose hope.But as we boldly face with courage every circumstance that comes along the way,it builds in us the confidence and trust that will bring out the best in us…It is just a test of our patience and fortitude.Life’s best is achieved when it is anchored in rough terrains.Without the right track to run on,and a clear ultimate destination to head towards,life could be spent in a series of detours to nowhere.It is best to set our goals with definite purpose and firmness of decision in embarking an extra mile that leads to the complete realization of our wildest aspiration.As we reflect on the things that happened,we pause for a while and freeze in those moments that brought pain and laughter.Then we realize that those were part of success that we may count on as blessings.We feel gladness in our heart for not backing away from the obstacles how difficult they may seem.Being not afraid to take any risk on the challenges set before us,is worth reminiscing.


Our accomplishments are measured to their fullest extent by the effort we exert on every goal wes et to achieve.Powers of concentration must be developed.To concentrate means to overcome another common trait.An impatient person usually undertakes things hastily on impulse.Often when we try to do something and fail after a few attempts,they are ready to quit.Such situation reveals what they are realy made of.And you are truly weak if you let HARDSHIPS beat your ASPIRATIONS ]]> Random Thoughts rhainne_angel http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29540 - against the wind - http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29536&goto=newpost Sun, 10 May 2009 09:09:52 GMT I have been judged… sentenced to death
You will no longer see me... my friends
I was just a small voice in the universe
That probably may not be heard

While I convinced myself to be alive
I followed norms, heeded advice
How could people be so cruel
All my words, my acts, misunderstood

Against the wind, I stood, I flew,
Hoping our dreams will all come true
You held my hands, we sang and prayed
We laughed and danced, yes, come what may…

I’ve always wanted much to stay
This I prayed day after day
But time has come... my friends... adieu
My heart, my dreams remain in you.



“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it"…… (Henry Ford) ]]> Random Thoughts aileen http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29536 A MOMENT WITHOUT JOY IS AN ETERNITY OF SADNESS http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29416&goto=newpost Thu, 07 May 2009 23:17:45 GMT “ The greatest obstacle to a Joyful Life is your "story" about your life. Your story is filled with needs and obligations. You are sure that you "need" at least a certain income to live - and you likely feel that you "need" more money than you have. You "need" a "good" job. You "need" a big house. You feel obligated to do whatever your boss and your spouse ask of you. Perhaps you also feel obligated to serve your parents, children, friends, church, and more. STOP!

There is nothing I ever need to have.
There is nothing I ever need to do.
I say NO to the demands of the world.
I say YES to the longings of my own heart. - jlh

The secret to a joyful life is Simplicity - saying NO to the advertisements for the latest this and the most glamorous that - saying NO to chasing that next job promotion - saying NO to all the stressful demands upon your time and energy.

It's YOUR time - it's YOUR life - YOU get to choose how you use it. There is no way that your life is "supposed" to be. Your parents had their vision for your life. Your boss, your spouse, your church, your friends, and even the family next door have their ideas of how you should live your life. What about YOUR vision for your life? What do YOU want? YES, it matters what you want. YES you can have what you want.

CHOOSE the life you want, and CHOOSE to live Joyfully. ” ]]> Random Thoughts monmamuad http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=29416 caught in between http://www.ilocano.org/community/showthread.php?t=28253&goto=newpost Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:19:37 GMT Napadasan yon tay adda inpaubra da tas malpasen tas idi ipakitam nu anan tay nalpas mo ken boss mo nga absentee ket kunaen na nga wrong format? :s-shocked: Tas paulit da kenka all over again. :s-cry: Ita.. innak agpagna-pagna ta park uray ana ar-aramiden da.. ta nasakit ti abaga kon... bannogakon nga nangubra ti uray la makalawas kadayta a dokumento! :s-angry: Napadasan yon tay adda inpaubra da tas malpasen tas idi ipakitam nu anan tay nalpas mo ken boss mo nga absentee ket kunaen na nga wrong format? :s-shocked:
