what will matter

i got this one from the desk of one of my Key account manager of P&G while waiting for him to make a transition for me, i actually didnt copy the whole text from his desk, instead i got the title and the author, googled it & hoolah! here it goes.. just for some thoughts..


by Michael Josephson

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgottenwill pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.Your grudges, resentments, frustrationsand jealousies will finally disappear.So too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came fromor what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter?How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you boughtbut what you built, not what you got but what you gave.
What will matter is not your successbut your significance.
What will matter is not what you learnedbut what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity,compassion, courage, or sacrificethat enriched, empowered or encouraged othersto emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competencebut your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew,but how many will feel a lasting loss when your gone.
What will matter is not your memoriesbut the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered,by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

remember me (kindly watch the video)

Today I was shown a video dedicated to the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the video were pics of soldiers deployed and returning home as well as funerals of the fallen.

two of the funeral pics showed family members of people that were close to me as close if not closer than family.

And it hurts to be reminded of a loss to so many but also makes me feel good to know they will be remembered by More than just us the ones that were close to them but by any who see this video.

it is a video on you tube And it was put together by a fifteen year old girl I would like anyone who sees this to see the video and pass it on any way you can in blog bulletin email or just save it to your computer and show it to people.

If you are a soldier or close to a soldier this will affect you greatly.

if you don’t know any soldiers well Watch the video anyway and understand all of what is said in it rings true.

I don’t know how to thank this young lady personally but if you are grateful for what she has made please add your .

Name below (and if you are a soldier please add branch and rank).

A very big thank you to Lizzie Palmer for remembering us.

another round for MSKM

been confused last night as i watched the last episode of Maging Sino Ka Man, yeah i did watched it and most of my friends were shocked about me watchin a pinoy tv series (so what if i did?), actually i wasnt able to watch the whole series, never watched the first episode too.. heheheh.. silly me huh.. anyway, as time goes by my titas and sister who lived with me at the house (our flat? este apartment) used to watched it from the time it started.. the reason why i was so encouraged to watch the series its because mainly by Anne Curtis (believe me i like this girl even most people hated her), coz as i watched the two weeks episode of MSKM (Maging Sino Ka Man) i saw how she changed from her acting career to her fashion looks.. so love her that it made me realized, Bea was taken out by Anne. Well, back to the main topic, i was so confused when i watched it last night, coz when second part of the episode showed, i asked to myself how will this series end up? when in fact, at that point there were lots of hang-ups? at the end of it, i was right... the series will have a Book 2... well, some may say they were dismayed by having a part 2 coz obviously MSKM had the longest run of the tv series nowadays.. but for me? i dont care if it has a book 2, for i cant wait to see Ann again...

Shrek 3

you gotta watch this movie... nakakatuwa.. i wont give any detail muna..

but its a must-see movie eto..

anilao

just wanting to share the moments we had in Batangas... we went to Anilao three days before the election day.. i kinda hate it, for the time we went there was a very long parade (is that how they call it?) for the candidates really made me sucks for it did caused an hour or two for us to be stucked in the traffic.. this is one of the pics i took while on our way to Anilao..mind you, all were riding in a tricycle at super init pa..














anway, to a lighter side.. I had fun in Anilao, it was actually my second time there but the first time i went there we were just so busy takin pics without me baskin at the water.. to my thirst this time, i played under the sun at the water that is so clear but not that white sand, stones are all you can see.. but no sweats coz eventhough there were seaweeds under the water, still i love to swim for its really clear, by the way, we stayed for almost 5 hours in Aguila that cost 750 for the cottage..(expensive huh)..

a must try in bohol

i find it amazing whenever i got to discover and experience foods that i havent tried before or kinda weird foods or never heard ones.. heheheh.. my trip sa bohol was amazing, i do love the place plus the foods.. hmmmm.. so yummy yung seafoods.. but then here's one of the foods that i havent heard pa, kumbaga only in bohol.. so check this out..



BARBECUE COCONUT or in my own term, i simply call it Grilled Coconut (sosyal!), experienced this at the butterflies sanctuary located on our way to chocolate hills.

FRESH GARDEN SALAD - i will upload the pics one of these days, its in my cousins digicam, when she send it to me ill immediately upload it in here. Fresh Garden Salad some says its partly the same as those salads in Sonya's Garden Tagaytay but because of i havent gone to Sonya's yet i still include this first time bite of fresh garden salad.. its a salad that made of flowers like bougainvilla (i forgot the spell, help me) and gumamela with green leaves topped with creamy sauce that i forgot the name of the sauce. but then again, its really yummy.. we found it only in Bee Farm, Panglao island.

so when u got the chance to come and visit Bohol, try these two foods im sure you too will love it..

h2b's arrival

MAY 31, 2006 - h2b's arrival

the first day that my h2b charles and i met. i was at the airport @1pm, it was a sunny afternoon. Charles scheduled arrival was @1:35, Gulf Air from Bahrain. Before the time of his arrival i was totally nervous, i really didnt know what 2 do and since im not tht familiar with the place i asked and asked security guards where's the waiting area and everything that i could ask fro (too funny for me huh?) and there finally after 15 minutes of searching the place, i was there at the waiting area for arrivals. I just stand there near the area where passengers w/family name starts with S since my h2b's last name is Scarce. then of me not knowing what to do i've waited... waited and waited and suddenly i realized its 2:05 in my watch and yet no charles scarce appeared... ARRRRGGGHHH!!!.... good thing i saw the screen na parang tv for the status of the airlines... and Gulf Air has just arrived... so i thought of maybe he was still in customs and immigration for the clearings and everything. 30 minutes passed 2 in the afternoon, i saw this man wearing a big, i think it was more than a triple XL red polo shirt with blue CK faded jeans and white reebok shoes with a hair that's kinda untidy to look at and with a hair in his chin... hmmmm... looks familiar to me... it was my h2b Charles and he was looking for me of course. I waved at him and there he saw me, i went to him he pull me over him,kiss me and hug me, and all that i felt was he was shaking, i felt his nervous at that time the way i was we were happy but we are too nervous but it was totally cool and that's the happiest day of my life and lastly there was a follow up proposal at the airport. A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE ON THIS HAPPY DAY!

here's one of our pic nung pagdating nya but he already changed his outfit na dito taken ito nung nag mall na kami after namin sa airport... heheheheh
