I guess that love does fade...that sometimes the heart does get tired of longing, of hoping..that sometimes you just have to accept the fact that sometimes can never be and that you should be contented with things as they are...
Leaving is a choice...staying is a choice..but you can never really ask someone to be yours or to stay...
It's a choice they have to make for themselves and sometimes no matter how much you beg someone to stay or how hard you try to make someone to be yours, you really have no control over which they will choose... :(

Preventing kids from smoking
Guys i want share this article that I've read and it is worth reading it...
DESPITE serious government warnings against smoking, teenagers as young as 15 want to puff a cigarette either out of curiosity, influenced by peers and from household members.
Parents still have the biggest impact on their children’s decision whether to smoke especially in urban areas. It is common for parents in slum areas to instruct their children to buy cigarettes and requesting them to light it too.
The best way to prevent a youngster from taking up smoking is to have parents who don’t smoke. Better act now before it’s too late.
Be a role model
If you don’t smoke, that sets a strong example for your children. Research shows that children of parents who smoke are more likely to smoke themselves.
Make your house a smoke-free zone
If you are a smoker or have friends or relatives who smoke, avoid exposing your children to smoke. Young children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are at a higher risk of developing asthma, ear infections and cavities. Infants are at a higher risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
Keep trying to quit
If you are a smoker who’s tried to quit, you’re not alone. Seventy percent (70%) of smokers report wanting to quit, but only about five percent of those who try are successful in the long term. Try to quit for your health and for the health of your children.
Don’t smoke around your children
If you make your house a smoke-free zone, making your car a smoke-free zone will protect your passengers, including your children, from the harms of secondhand smoke.
Tell them about the health risks in smoking
This is for both adults and kids. Smoking will impact their ability to play sports successfully and may have potentially long-term negative effects on their good health and their appearance. In addition to the way it smells, smoking causes premature facial aging and stained teeth.
Know your children’s friends
Peer pressure is a powerful factor in children choosing to smoke, drink alcohol and take drugs. Find out if they have friends who smoke. Encourage them to be role models for their siblings and friends by making informed choices not to smoke and set an example with their peers that could set a trend.
Teach children that it is okay to go against the group when their health and safety is at risk. In fact, if they have taken a stand, based on an informed position, it is likely that their friends will respect them for it and follow suit.
Listen to your children
When parents create an atmosphere in their home that encourages discussion and debate about controversial topics that all teens confront and must learn to deal with, empowering your child with the facts will help them stay smoke-free. Start the dialogue about tobacco at an early age (5 and 6) and continue to provide them with age-appropriate information on smoking as they grow older.
If they start to smoke, encourage them to quit
By quitting, people can add years to their lives. Quitting is a life-saving decision that can impact the lives of everyone you love. It isn’t easy, but every quit attempt should be considered a success.

One of my friend's eldest child start smoking at early age as 13. And now she doesn't know how to stop him because even herself don't know how to quit it. As a parents we must be a good example to our children. It's is important to teach our children about the danger of smoking. The bottom line is that our children need our help to avoid smoking or to quit if they have started. Parents really can make a difference!

Best Things
Fun...fun...fun! This is the most pleasing part of our world today. Much of this come from things we really wanted- although they're not considered necessities. Laptop, cellphone, ipod, camcorder, automobile, signature shoes, elegant dresses, expensive jewerly and material things take up most of our interest. We don't see some of God's gift to us. It seems abstract nouns lost their worth.
Many people think that money is EVERYTHING. Money is what makes their world go round. They don't realize how stupid they've become because of money. They don't recognize that the "M-word" makes them foolish people by making it their "GOD". I personally admire people who, despite their authority, power and wealth, move to have "low profile" lives.
As a ordinary employee, I wanted to leam most of the answer to my question in life. I want to believe that the things in life come at a cheap price. People around us are free of charge when we seek where God's blessing are. They are gift -that is, no monetary amount of whatever currency can match their value. Yet, we don't recognize their value; unless God has taken them from us. He would say, "Since you don't appreciate a simple gift, then you will have none at all.
A while ago i was chatting with my eldest sister in Italy, And we are talking about how expensive to live there. The bills, gas, food, etc. She said she wants to enjoy life without thinking of any kind that money matters. I told her to pray for the best things in life. But i do realize, the best things can't always be "things." They may come in a form of a family, friend, a relative, or a loved one. I think that is way God took him from me. As a quote may utter, "You'll never realize the value of someone or something until you lose them."

the days of holy week
Holy Week is the last week of Lent, the week immediately preceding Easter or Resurrection Sunday. And most of us people spent there holyweek as "bakasyon grande" Ang ilan sa atin umuuwi nang kani kanilang probinsya ang ilan naman nagplano nang mga outing kasama pamilya o barkada nila.
Tulad namin, bago dumating ang mahal na araw kaming magpipinsan ay nag plano mag punta sa pagudgud para makapamasyal dun. kaya lang bigla naman nanganak ung isang pinsan namin so, nag decide kami na huwag na lang lumayo kasi wala siya makakasama.
Kaya ang bagsak namin ay sa San Fabian beach, malapit lang mula sa aming hometown. Ang mga bata walang humpay na naligo sa dagat mula umaga na dumating kame hanggang hapon. kaya ayun ang resulta nila nognog hehehe ;)) ilan lang sa aming mga adults ang hinde naligo sa dagat takot mangitim hahaha!
Kinabukasan naman sa baguio ang aming destinasyon. bago kame namasyal sa baguio naisipin namin dumadaan sa catheral. sa dami nang tao hinde na kame nakapasok sa loob nang simbahan sa labas na lang kami nakinig nang sermon ni father. ang salita? ILOKANO hinde ko maintindihan kaya after nang mass tinanong ko nanay ko kung anu sermon ni father. ang sermon pala ay tungkol sa mga magulang na pabaya sa anak at sa mga anak na pasaway sa mga magulang. naalala ko tuloy nung ako'y bata pa.(teenager) hehehe. pasaway ayaw makinig sa magulang. kaya nang ako'y naging magulang naintindihan ko na sila hehehe. hangad lang naman nang mga magulang magandang kinabukasan sa mga anak eh.

kaya yung mga pasaway na anak dyan, always listen too your parents for your own good...
And lastly, don't forget the true meaning of "holyweek" the time to commemorate and enact the suffering (Passion) and death of Jesus through various observances and services of worship.
