a more correct statement would be: I am able to forgive & be nice because I've been FORGIVEN. :)

"I'm forgiven because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again...
It's my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You..."


--------------------------
I'm a no-nonsense person, and even though it may not be very obvious, I'm actually pretty introspective. In my 30 years of blissful existence, I've learned (the hard way) that I can't please everybody. At the end of the day, what's important for me is that I'm at peace with God, myself and the people I love the most.

I write in this blog for myself (to release angsts, joy, sadness, other pent-up emotions.) I post pix for my enjoyment too. (I love taking pictures & I love being in them too) I post links on current events and other matters that interest me (I use this site to put in writing my thoughts and comments on such matters)

(so sensya na sa multiply site ko...this is semi- (if not really) narcissistic, with corny hirits here & there...para di naman serious all the time) Kung matuwa man kayo, thank you. Kung hindi man, okay lang din.
