This is without a doubt one of the nicest good luck forwards I have received. Hope it works for you — and me!
You have 6 minutes
There’s some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you’re not superstitious. This has been sent To you for good luck from the Anthony Robbins organization. It has been sent around the world ten times so Far.
Do not keep this message.
This must leave your hands in 6 MINUTES. Otherwise you will get a very unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, “I love you,” mean it.
FIVE. When you say, “I’m sorry,” look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dream. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know?”
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say “bless you” when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson .
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.
Now, here’s the FUN part!
Send this to at least 5 people and your life will improve. 1-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.
5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.
9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks
15 and above: Your life will improve drastically and everything you ever dreamed of will begin to take shape.
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

The Lucky Joke: You Have to Believe July 28, 2006

This is a joke that is supposed to bring you luck.

An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said , she had a lot of money.
After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president’s office.
The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, “$165,000″. The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets.
The president was surprised and asked, “What kind of bets?”
The elderly woman replied, “Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square.”
The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that.
The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, “Would you like to take my bet?”
“Certainly”, replied the president. “I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square.”
“Done”, the elderly woman answered. “But given the amount of money involved, if you don’t mind I would like to come back at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness.”
“No problem”, said the president of the Bank confidently.
That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that , checking them over again and again until he was
positive that no one could consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.
The next morning at exactly 10 o’clock the elderly woman arrived at the president’s office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president’s testicles were square.
The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly.
The president was happy to oblige.
The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. “Of course”, said the president “Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure.”
The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, “Oh, it’s
probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o’clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!”
The origin of this Canadian story is unknown but it brings luck to everyone to whom it is sent. Whoever breaks the chain would definitely be unlucky.
Do not keep this letter. And do not send money. Just forward it to five of your friends to whom you wish good luck. Something good will happen to you in the next four days. If the chain is not broken, you will have good luck during the four days.
Even if all you do is make someone laugh, send it on!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
If you send this page to more than 5 people, you will have good luck for the next 5 years in addition to the luck you will have within the next 4 days.
A Soulful Relationship July 28, 2006

A SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP
by Rev. Ronald Mcfadden
If you’re not married yet, share this with a friend.
If you are married, share it with your spouse or other
married couples and reflect on it.
An African proverb states, “Before you get married,
keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one
eye.”
Before you get involved and make a commitment to
someone, don’t let lust, desperation, immaturity,
ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem,
make you blind to warning signs.. Keep your eyes open,
and don’t fool yourself that you can change someone or
that what you see as faults aren’t really important.
Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or
her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and
differences will become more obvious. If you love your
mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve,
you’ve got to learn to close one eye and not let every
little thing bother you. You and your mate have many
different expectations, emotional needs, values,
dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique
individual children of God who have decided to share a
life
together.
Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for
each other? Do you bring out the best in each other?
Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or
do you compete, compare, and control? What do you
bring to the relationship? Do you bring past
relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
You can’t take someone to the altar to alter him or
her. You can’t make someone love you or make someone
stay.
If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and
“a life”, you won’t find yourself making someone else
responsible for your happiness or responsible for your
pain.
Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and
selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving,
healthy, loving and lasting relationship! Seeking
status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong
reasons to be in a relationship. What keeps a
relationship strong?
Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor,
sharing household tasks, some getaway time without
business or children and daily exchanges (a meal,
shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note).
Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice
email.
Sharing common goals and interests. Growth is
important. Grow together, not away from each other,
giving each other space to grow without feeling
insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest.
You can’t always be together. Give each other a sense
of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don’t try
to control one another. Learn each other’s family
situation. Respect his or her parents regardless.
Don’t put pressure on each other for material goods.
Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities
are missing, the relationship will erode as
resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty,
and pain replace the passion.
The difference between ‘United’ and ‘Untied’ is where
you put the i.
Kainis naman Superman, pare! July 25, 2006

Ok pare, was really uber bored kanina so I decided to watch Superman Returns at Glorietta 4. I texted Claude and Jeff but it seemed the two were out na naman. So I called na lang the girl Claude introduced to me at Max Brenner, a couple of weeks ago. We traded number kasi before. Actually, she asked for my number pare. See pare, I’m that hot! Kaya girls are all making kulit to my friends for my number. Her looks is kinda ok naman. The ‘pwede na’ type. The only problem lang pare is her height. She’s like an arm rest lang kasi pare. Pero I’m cool naman with it so ok na.
She replied after five rings with “Who’s this?”. I was tahimik lang on the other side. Shit talaga pare! Major turnoff talaga! So I made putol na lang the line. I hate kasi burara girls. Obviously she lost the card I gave her at Max Brenner. Sayang talaga pare. I gave her a chance pa naman to be with me and she blew it pa. She’s bobo kasi.
Good thing my mom was out kanina so I got the chance to drive for myself without Hilariously Stoopid messing with my aura.
So yun na nga diba? I was like riding on air with my uber bilis driving and it only took me 5 minutes (which would normally take 30 minutes with Hilariously Stoopid driving) from our house to Glorietta. Can’t wait na nga for Drag Racing Pinoy to reopen their site kasi I think I belong to that group. I can even do the drift na nga pare while driving pababa at Rufino towers. Eh Rufino is notorious pa naman for having the narrowest parking pababa and paakyat ng floors. Yeah pare, I’m that galing talaga at driving so there’s no point na talaga in hiring stupid natives as my driver pa.
I got the last full show at cinema 2 (11 PM)… kasi all the earlier show time were all sold out na pare. So I made tambay na lang at Starbs while enjoying a cup of chino. I made no pansin na lang at the all the loser-poser orcs making lipana around the cinema floor. I made it clear that my seat is far from the masa-crowded timezone which is full of baho natives that time… probably waiting for Superman din. I focused na lang my attention to my cup of chino for the solid caffeine rush. Dami kasing attention-getters sa crowd and they are irritating my aura. Good thing bilis lang mag fly ng oras kanina…
After the movie, I was like really disappointed talaga pare because of the uber daming flaws. I mean, Superman Returns is the year’s most stupid movie made for stupid people and I am the one tasked to figure that out. Really disturbing talaga pare…
1. Diba pare, Superman and Lex Luthor were of the same age lang? Diba nga friends pa sila before they became enemies. How come sa movie, Lex was portrayed as matanda na?
2. Correct me if I’m wrong pare pero I dont recall Superman and Lois Lane having sex to produce a child which is hikain pa!
3. Up to now, sumasakit pa rin my brain thinking how come nobody still can’t figure out that Clark Kent is Superman provided all the people at Daily Planet are fond of detective work since most of them are journalists/reporters nga. Are they all that stupid talaga or may magic powers lang talaga the eyeglass of superman, rendering him incognito whenever he wears it.
4. What’s with the kulot na bangs pare? I mean its pretty obvious naman na straight hair ni Clark sa movie tapos whenever he change into Superman na, the kulot bangs suddenly appear.
5. Superman is gay. Just notice the leg position whenever he lift his feet off the ground. Kadiri pare no?
6. Superman is laging handa pare. because he only needs to make hawi lang his clothes to reveal his costume. I mean, super lambot ba his costume for no one to notice it while at work. Specially the Superman boots which he always wear under his black shoes (?)!. The layered getup must be really init pare.
Now I know where the orcs got their style in layered clothing. Kaya naman I’ll bet an arm and a leg that Superman has BO pare.
7. There was an incident sa movie pa where Lois Lane was slammed on the head by the vault’s door which was made entirely out of steel. She fell pa nga unconcious sa tubig. The question is, how come she suffered no bukol? Not even minor bleeding pare. Eh it was like very lakas kaya ng pagkaka-slam on her head. Probably she’s hard core pare. Internal hemorrhage in the head. Big time!
8. After an earthquake, there should be a big tidal wave. That was missing pare. I anticipated pa naman that part.
Dami pa sana pare.. pero I really have to hit the sack now. It’s morning na pala. Basta, I’m giving the movie -10 out of 10 because it sucked… as in major!
Later pare.
