Let's be honest. There are no perfect people just as there are no perfect friends. A friend is sometimes the worst enemy that you could have because your friend knows all your secret and once things go wrong, you could be at the mercy of your friend. If you have a bad past, chances are that your friend could sing it to her other friends. Which makes it tough for you. As a friend who knows you and who has been with you for some time, she could either ruin you or make things hard for you.

This is the reason why, you must not bare all to your friend. Remember that a friend is good for as long as you and your friend are in good terms. But watch out for conflicts and grudges that may come. This would be the start of your problem. As much as possible limit what you have to tell you friend to avoid being in trouble in the future.

If your friend cheats you and want to ruin you, leave that friend alone. There are lots of people to befriend but be careful next time. Make sure that the next time you have a friend, do not bare all. Keep some things for yourself to protect yourself. Don't let every secret be open to your friend.

Waking up early trying to catch up for the days work, I find it very refreshing. I would prepare my coffee and sit down to watch the news on television then pitch in some fixing and sweeping just to clear the house of the dust accumulated on that day. There’s not much to clean and clear as there are no children to mess around, just my seventeen year old son who sits down only to play computer games or watch television.

Since I go to work only in the afternoon lately, I have always time to work on my computer before going to work. This is the kind of life I have. Just working on my blogs when I am not at work and sorting some things at home once in a while. There are enough things to do to fill the days as they come by.

Could life be so boring as my life? No, I don’t consider my life boring. I do things that make me busy and forget that I don’t have a life that is as exciting as other people do. I don’t have many friends that I could go out with. Besides I prefer to sit in front of my computer and tap the keys to write about something. I do go out from time to time with my sister and my friends but it is not so often.

Perhaps being happy and content in life depends on the person. I am content with my simple life and I live enjoying the simple things around me. I write to give spice to my everyday activities and I play with the kids that I teach to make me happy and alive. The days that I am with the children are days that I could never forget. The things that they say and do are sometimes wonders that me wonder at times. There are things that sometimes puzzle me when children speak on their own. It is sometimes very hard to answer their questions.

But they are the spice of my life!

I was thinking of the best gifts to give to a love one on Valentine's Day.  Perhaps the best gift to give to a love one is still something that could not be bought.  Material things are of course very good gifts but the more important things in life other than material things are still the best gifts to give to a love one.

Why not try something new for your love one on Valentine's Day.  If you have been spending your Valentine's Day in the past in expensive restaurants and movies.  Then try a new one.  In this time of recession, everybody is trying to save a penny for tomorrow and celebrating Valentine's Day could be fun and exciting with your own creation.

Make dinner at home and share it with your partner.  Put off all the lights and light a candle then put on some soft music and enjoy dinner like you were in an exclusive restaurant fit only for those moneyed people.  Just have a simple dinner with your love one in a romantic setting just inside your dining room.  Set the room like you are in a special place and feel the love aglow with only both of you enjoying the night and having the time all to yourselves.  It would make a difference in your relationship and it would make your partner feel even closer to you if you have mad an effort to prepare the food that your partner loves.  And with a different setting from the regular day to day setting, you would both feel different.

Your creativity would help make the night romantic for both of you even just inside your home.  Create something different to experience while having a hearty meal with your partner.  Talk about things that are pleasant and make sure you have a good laugh with your partner.  Laughing is something relishing when shared with your partner and it is good for the health.  As you look into each others eyes,  remember the first time you dated when you almost drowned in joy.

Everyday must be a new day for both of you if you know how to please your partner.  Even in the simplest way that your partner would feel happy, like preparing food or doing things for your love one.  A massage at the back if your partner is tired and a nice story to tell when you both sit down and talk.

Forget about expensive material things to give on Valentine's Day, just remember to do something especial that your love one will appreciate and enjoy..

As the cold wind sweeps our face and greets us, Christmas time is just around the corner and everybody is busy preparing for the coming of our Savior.  Christmas they say is a time for giving and sharing. It is also a time to show love to others.  But what is Christmas for those who have nothing to share and give?  It is ironic to think that while other people are rushing to fill there homes with lovely decorations and food to share during the Christmas day, a million people around are penniless, homeless, naked and lonely.

What would Christmas be for a family who could barely have a complete meal for a day?  Isn't it everybody's wish to have a hearty meal during the midnight of December 24?  Isn't it everybody's wish for Santa Claus to come and give them food on Christmas?  What is Santa Claus doing in the land of snow?

Christmas, yes Christmas is for those who have money.  Christmas isn't at all kind to those penniless people on the streets.  Yet they have something that no amount of money could buy.  They have the determination to live a life they think is right for them.  They live with the left overs of people around them and yet they have a smile on their faces.  The children laugh and run and chase each other.  They have a way of enjoying life.

Christmas will come and go and for those poor people out there, there is no difference at all if it is Christmas or not, for they live everyday in the same manner.  Perhaps for one meal they could be spared a fried chicken or a piece of pizza but all the same, they stay penniless for the rest of their lives.  Unless someone would bring them real good luck and they would be spared from their miseries.

I don't understand what Christmas means but I just know, Christmas is what people call sharing and giving.  The only sad thing is, we never share what we have with the poor people out there who need them.

Hi Everybody.  I've missed all of you!

Been busy with other activities that  I didn't have time to drop by and say hello.  I've been surfing almost everyday finding ways to have an income through internet but all i could see are surveys and countless money making ideas that I can't begin to comprehend.  I still doubt those sites that claim you could sit and wait for money to grow in your website.  A friend advised me to have business instead with ebay if I want to make money online.  All the other sites according to her will pay but it takes too much time and effort before one could really get paid.  I don't even know where to start.  Maybe I would just stick to my article writing at Helium.  I have a good time writing in this site.  I am learning a lot while writing.

I wonder what happened to my blog that I haven’t visited for a few days.  I’d been busy writing articles for Helium.  Helium is a place to learn how to write and express how you feel.  Here you can write almost anything under the sun.  And you don’t have to think of titles for your articles. You choose a title about anything and you write something about it.  What is good about Helium is your writing will improve as you go because you have other writers to comment on your articles and tell you how you will improve your work, from grammar to spelling and misused words.

 

Helium offers many opportunities to writers.  Aside from the articles you write which earn everyday, you can join writing contests.  If you are a good writer you can have a chance to join other writing opportunities offered.
