"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"
Donna Roberts


The song may fade away, the melody will run dry, a friend is there to remind and keep singing a love song. A friend loves at all time, a love that is strong and the foundation of every relationship. As time goes by, it grows stronger and better that can last forever. True friendship is tested by time, molded by trials, and strengthen by faith. And a real friend is the one who will love you and accept you despite of your imperfections.


We may walk in the dark path of life, we know that we will never be alone for there is a friend who would always walk with us side by side. A true friendship is like binding your souls as one to love and to take care of one another, to strengthen each others weaknesses, to fill each others emptiness, who is always there that you can run to when no one seems to
be around and to love without limitations and accept who you truly are. A a love of a friend is unconditional and patient, not demanding but gives you freedom, not proud but humble, not jealous but understanding, sincere and always forgiving.


"A friend is the one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"

A love of a friend is beyond our comprehension, simple at the same time complicated. You know that you can always lean on, for the times that the world may walk out and turned against you, against all odds, a friend will be there to be with you. True friendship is to be there for one another through the hard times and for the better. True friendship looks at the inner beauty.


LOVE would always be so complicated, and Friendship is even more harder to understand, because despite of our differences, culture, imperfections, weaknesses, beliefs...somewhere in our heart we understand each other in a mysterious way. We have loved one another in a special way. We have touched each others lives and make a difference. Friendship is always the foundation of all kind of relationship. With a strong friendship comes a strong relationship.


The beauty of Friendship is so fascinating. It is like spring time where blossoms grow and fill your world with colors and beauty. When True Love springs out of True Friendship, that is the kind of love that has built a strong foundation.

"All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand"
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

A friend that loves, are true friends to keep. A true friend sees whats best and takes out the best in you. Be
cause with a friend, you can be who you are at all times.






Ironies in Relationships

Good Guys go crazy over Easy Girls

Good Girls are taken by Ungrateful Guys

The Most Loyal are those being Cheated On

Cheaters are begged by Good Ones to STAY

The Most Worthy of Good Relationship
are the Ones that AREN'T Taken Seriously

Those Greatly Hurt by there Greatest LOVE end up being PLAYERS


Is there any truth in this??



How to say 'I Love You"

A girl, Nicola, sitting on the bench at the park wrapped up reading a book and carried by her emotion was approached by Sam, a boy who started up a conversation with her. With mutual feelings of isolation in a generation that would rather communicate over the internet rather than in person, they both bond awkwardly with each other in a short period of time.

The 300 SPARTAN WORKOUT

Do you remember this movie "3oo". A Frank Miller's graphic novel 300 that was given a life by a Writer-director Zach Snyder.

In the Movie, King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) led 300 Spartans on a Battle of Thermopylae to stand against overwhelming Persian Army commanded by Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). All started when Leonidas refused to bow down to Xerxes, all 300 Spartans are willing to give up their lives in order to keep Sparta Free from the clutches of Xerxes and his invading horde.



Majority of the scene is filled with nearly naked men with 6-pack abs, whittled waist and rock-hard thighs. How did they get those?








Zack [Znyder, the director], wanted the Spartans to appear like a real warrior during those days, lean and in hard fighting shape. He wanted them to appear like they have been fighting since they were babies. How long it took them to shape up like warriors??

In 10 weeks time, Mark Twight, a self-taught exercise guru and a former world class mountain climber turned 300 actors and stuntmen into a warrior-fighting shape. The 300 workout was created, but this kind of workout is quite extreme and not for faint-hearted, nor out-of-shape.


The 300 SPARTAN WORKOUT

Remember that this workout is extreme. Not advisable to beginners. The 300 Spartan Workout was taken from the number of repetition. This workout has no rest in between and the challenge is to this is finishing the whole 300 reps in shortest time.

  • 25 pull-ups
  • 50 dead lifts at 135 pounds
  • 50 push-ups
  • 50 box jumps with a 24-inch box
  • 50 "floor wipers" (a core and shoulders exercise at 135 pounds)
  • 50 "clean and press" at 36 pounds (a weight-lifting exercise)
  • 25 more pull-ups -- for a total of 300 reps

Guys, if you ever wanted to try this workout, make sure that you are constantly working out. But if not, i suggest you go and see a Professional trainers that can help with proper form, structure and progression if you want to try the 300 Spartan workout.

Do You Still HUG someone you really care? Most people easily get occupied with their daily routine. Work, Work and more Work that often times we missed to greet one another. Ask someone how are they, or even just a pat at the back to give a simple gesture of appreciation or give a hug to our loved ones.

Free Hug is very inspirational video about a person who went out of the street to make a big difference. To hug someone we know can be usual, but to give a hug to a stranger. It is simply touching ones heart especially those who really need it.

HUG someone now, and see how you make up the day of your friend, love ones, colleagues, or even a stranger.




FRUSTRATiNG REALiZATIONS

Love... Love... Love! Always seems complicated and very hard to understand. You felt like your heart skip a beat when you see the one you love. We hear thousands of love stories as well as heartaches.

In a relationship, you commit yourself to a special person hoping that you can spend the rest of your life together. You try to build a friendship that will bind your love forever. Yet some never succeed in doing so. There are circumstances in a life of a person longing to love and be love, yet it is hard to find it at the right place, at the right moment and with the right person. Then you come to realize that loving a person is not that easy at all.


Frustrating Realization

"You find the Perfect Love, BUT in a Wrong Time"

"You find the Perfect One,
BUT He's Not in Love with you"

"You find the Perfect One,
BUT you must be loyal to someone else"

"You got the Perfect Looks,
BUT no one takes you seriously"

"You met the Perfect Personality,
BUT your bound to be Just Friends"

"You got brains,
BUT got a Frail Heart"

"You find the courage,
BUT it's too late"

"Your ready to love,
BUT you don't know"


These are just a few of those situations you get involve yourself when your falling in love with a person. No matter what, the important thing of all is you learned to love, you fail and you become strong. While you have love around you, treasure it, cherish each moment with the person you commit yourself with, you may never know if you will still have another chance when you lost it.
