Heaven and Earth
Dear God Almighty,
What am I?
Who am I?
What awaits me?
Am i sinning by asking questions?
Does curiosity get the better of me?
Why do you let me think this way?
Are you watching me over right now?
I think you are.
You are so pure and I'm so filthy...
Why did you make me?
Am I worthy enough to even write this poem?
Do i question to much?
But that's why we have brains isn't it?
To ask... to challenge...
I don't know what to do...
Will you show me what to do...
Will you show me signs...
because I'm curious.
I'm very curious.
What am I?
Who am I?
What awaits me?
Am i sinning by asking questions?
Does curiosity get the better of me?

Dear Mom and Dad
Dear Mom and Dad,
On my birthday, I don’t want a blackberry.
In fact, I don’t want a 3G iPhone or a Macbook too.
Materials will only exist when time permits them to.
I don’t want Versace dresses or Jimmy Choos,
I don’t even want chocolates;
You know how much I love them, don’t you?
All I want is to spend more time with you.
Memories last forever; they never die.
It would even pass through the roughest test of time.
Please don’t think that I don’t appreciate what you’ve given me,
Because I do; with all my heart I sincerely do.
For the past 14 years,
I embrace every single word that comes from your mouth.
I treasure the warmth of your hugs.
I welcome all the love and care.
I value every single cent you spent raising me up.
Also, all the time you wasted just to make me smile.
I understand all your sacrifices.
All your advices linger in my mind.
And all the memories we have together, it was all worthwhile.
And Mom and Dad, just so you know,
Of all the wonderful gifts you’ve given me,
The most beautiful gift is the gift of life.

Horoscope: Virgo
Even thought I am 100% loyal to Facebook, Friendster always have the best horoscopes. This one is TRUE...
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)[?]
The Bottom Line
Your ability to be flexible and go with the flow will come in very handy today!
In Detail
The best part of the wonderful favor a dear one is preparing to do for you is the fact that they're not doing it for any reason whatsoever. They're interested in only one thing: to make you feel better about something that's been bothering you. The gesture will touch you -- so much so that you'll feel closer to them than you ever have. You'll want to spend some time thinking about the best way to thank them.
