For now, I’m ahppy of what I have and I enjoy every single seconds I live alone with my extended family, friends and relatives. Family who were always there to support me all the way. Relatives who in one way shares some thoughts and admirations in eveything I do. And friends whom I can treat as my second family. They are those person who simply touches my life and makes me whole.

Because of that, I could not resist to one of my closest friend back in high school. She’s actually married already. She’s living now in Philippines with his husband. We actually had a conversation a while back this day. Oh! Well, she’s giving birth in the next two months and because of that she was requesting a maternity clothes from me. As a close friend, I can’t resist. So, what I do is buy her a pair of maternity dress. Probably, I’ll send it back home in the nest two days from now as I have one friend here that were about to go home in Philippines for vacation. I’ll ask a favor to send it through her.

Well, life of being a friend is priceless. What they ask from me is just a material thing. What they give me is the value of friendship that cannot be bought and cannot be taken from me. Thank guys. Love you all!

So, since I got my salary by next week I am planning to offer my Dad his favorite cigars as my post valentines for him. He is actually far from me. As he was in my native country Philippines and I am here in the other part of the globe specifically in Middle East. But despite that I have a lot of options to send this gift to him. It could be my courier or by a friend who will be home next week.

To you Dad, thank you for being the best Dad in the world. There’s no amount of words could ever explains who much I thank you for upbring me and teaching the best thing that I have to know. You and Mom is indeed one of the best parents and amazing parents in the world. I may not keep saying those word onto you most of the time but through this occasions let me utter those words you seldom hear from me. I may not that so expressive on my feelings but God knows, you both are treasured here in my heart. I Love You both…

I was supposed to visit them for a day or two but I couldn’t find time as I am also busy meeting those old friends I had before and acquiting with them once again. My Sis is demanding me to be there in their plae. I actually opted to but I find it so tiring and I don’t have a luxury of time.

So, instead of going to their house I just open call them and talk to my Nephews while I was there. I know its different to see them personal and hug them tight but at least I often talk them as often as I can. When Christmas season arrived I decided to buy a gift my two(2) Nephews. It was a set of toys which I’m so sure they’ll both love it but sad to say that they were not there to celebrate with me. Sigh…

A while back this week, I call back home and was able to talk to my older Nephew and guess what? His asking where is his xbox toy? lol.. The toys I bought him last December was still in our house I guess. I was not yet delivered to him. He knows that its a set of toys and he likes it but he still want me to buy him an xbox. Oh! Boy… I just told him that I’ll gonna buy him one later this year.

Sigh.. I miss them so much.. Hopefully, by next year I’ll be able to see them once more.

You bring joy to my heart unconditionally and even make my heart laugh at times I feel sad and lonely. I’d like you to bear in mind that despite the distance we had in present time never it appears to be a hindrance for me to love you. Your simply amazing! I’m sorry if at times, I might dissapoint you nor fail your expectations on me. But despite that, I will always be the person you use to know from the start.

Mahal, thank you for loving me, for accepting me of who I am and for the care and understanding. I won’t promise anything as I don’t want to dissapoint you nor hurt you. All I need to do is hold on to the feelings we both shared and enjoyed. As all I know is, I Love You and its irrevokable.

Hopefully, you’ll fully open your life on me despite our differences and lapses. I’m praying that wherever God brings our relationship hopefully he’ll bless us through thick, thin, rich, poor and even death. I know I may sounds corny or should I say sentimental and drama but let it be. I miss you Mahal every seconds of my life. Okay! Enough got to go for now still have to check this bath towels for your cargo. I’m wishing and praying for your safety. Happy Valentines Day Mahal… I LOVE YOU More than you know…

All that, however, has changed with the introduction of telephones with integrated cameras. Filipinos are practically symbiotic with their cellphones, so it’s no surprise that in an arcane business such as aquarium fish, technology has made the business cycle much faster (and therefor, there is a possibility of more profit with the increased number of business cycles).

Weapons of choice are either cellphones with digicams, megapixel digicams, and a PC with an Internet connection. Of course, there are some business compatibility issues: many of the fish breeders are looking for a cellphone with digicam that is waterproof, inasmuch as accidentally dunking a cellphone is a very real concern. But other than that, the business of aquarium fish breeding has become fast and sophisticated. Some fish businessmen keep whole photo galleries of fish in their cellphones, ready to sell at a moment’s notice.

One of the incredible abilities of Jesus was to stay on target. His life never got off track. Not once do we find him walking down the wrong side of the fairway. He had no money, no computers, no jets, no administrative assistants or staff; yet Jesus did what many of us fail to do. He kept his life on course.

As Jesus looked across the horizon of his future, he could see many targets. Many flags were flapping in the wind, each of which he could have pursued. He could have been a political revolutionary. He could have been a national leader. He could have been content to be a teacher and educate minds or to be a physician and heal bodies. But in the end he chose to be a Savior and save souls.

Anyone near Christ for any length of time heard it from Jesus himself. “The Son of Man came to find lost people and save them” (Luke 19:10). “The Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people” (Mark 10:45).

The heart of Christ was relentlessly focused on one task. The day he left the carpentry shop of Nazareth he had one ultimate aim—the cross of Calvary. He was so focused that his final words were, “It is finished” (John 19:30).

How could Jesus say he was finished? There were still the hungry to feed, the sick to heal, the untaught to instruct, and the unloved to love. How could he say he was finished? Simple. He had completed his designated task. His commission was fulfilled. The painter could set aside his brush, the sculptor lay down his chisel, the writer put away his pen. The job was done.

Wouldn’t you love to be able to say the same? Wouldn’t you love to look back on your life and know you had done what you were called to do?
