poem about love

The Keys to Your Heart
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted

i got this from someones page, cant say who, but i hope everything with them is alright.

Lori's Bday





Before the white walls and with the white walls





















then came the white walls:

LORI turned 30!!! Happy Bday sis!!!

Well, it was yesterday and she did turn 30! i haven't seen her and Dru for a while, so its always nice to see them. She's all baby, I can't wait till Leah comes to this world. Well, we went there around 3ish cause we went to the city first and then bought some Dianda's (best italian cake yum!) and brought them some. Plus, Bubba went to get his fenders..
Then we hung out for about 30 mins or so, and went to dinner at a buffet off of Stevenson Creek Blvd, i think that's the exit. It was pretty good! hella food! I didn't eat rice, aren't you proud of me?!? everything was hella good except this one pork thing. it looked like lechon kawali but it soooo wasn't. i guess that's what you anticipate since its chinese/japenese food. sushi was ahrite, not dry but really small. steak was really yummy!
then we came home around 1230is i felt really bad, cause bubba wanted me to drive and i was soooo sleepy. i was knocked out. so we slept in today.
so that was Sunday..HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI!!!

today:
got up and watched Backyardigans w/ AJ
he took a nap and did some cleaning, the usual bathroom, kitchen, fed the dogs type of deal
then Tuan went to work for a lil bit, had some PDIs to do..woohoo extra money for me!
(maybe I'll get my Dyson vacuum for my bday) hahaha
and had a great dinner this evening, AJ's at grandmas house

we went for a ride for a lil bit, it was sooooo much fun! the wind in my face, i tried the oshit strap but Tuan didnt like it. he prefers me to hold on to him (time to say awww) I can't wait to get my own gear! gotta wait though, not major priority. so I'm looking forward to getting a jacket, gloves, and my own helmet. A DOT approved and a novelty one. we went down bradshaw and then left on calvine all the way to Franklin..it was great!

other than that had a laxed day...i didn't get to take a nap. oh well, there's always next time. AJ's at mom and dad's house since she's off tomorrow. i'm soo not looking forward to work tomorrow, it'll be hella busy! Kat said that SLA's are like 58 something sooo not good, no exception time forreal!

alright, times a tickin time to sleep! and 8 days and counting I'll be the big 25!

Bubba got his white walls

$100 for both rear and front white walls, not bad. got them from concord, also stopped by at concord mall for a lil bit, it has been sooooo long since i've been there..i wanna say almost 5 years now..looks the same, thought i'd run into someone but i guess some people dont work at the mall anymore..haha that was so like five years ago.
well, other than that we might be planning on relocating ajs party to a different park..not sure yet. tuan's gonna check it out tomorrow and we'll make a decision by the end of this week.
so i had a dumb moment today, we drove by pittsburgh and thought of the pittsburgh steelers...what i don't know i thought they were from here..and bubba had to call dru and made me feel really dumb...argghh..that's okay, i'll leave sports to the boys. i'll just do the cooking and other stuff.
well, i think i have my menu down for the bbq for aj's party
so far:
spaghetti (by ay-ay)
lumpia (of course, not a filipino party without it)
hot dogs
hamburgers
fruit salad (fresh fruit)
macaroni salad w/ apples and chicken
bbq chicken on a stick
cake
toron (courtesy of lisa)
bean dip and chips
hmm and i can't think of the others. today went well, it was nice to spend time w/ the fam. bubba has work again tomorrow and so do i. gotta catch some z's.

i read this somewhere...it made me say awwww

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with... and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with whom everything was great, everything was perpect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way.. I suppose

I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter whom you're with , it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you're ready... You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. She may not be the most perfect, she might not be the brightest stars of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it will make sense, it really will

So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the person you think about.

You'll think about her because you'll wonder, "What if she was here today?" You'll wonder,
"What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" Thats what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if" you'll have in your life.

If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away!!. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one
you're with and this is just another test of you commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure you'll think about her every so ofter, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who is already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple.... Find her, find her... Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?

Ask her out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be the "one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away".

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it wont make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it will all just fall into place somehow and you know...

I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away".

we just went to drop off Tuan's food...

Hey hey hey...what a day! well, it started off as really early in the morning, we thought bubba's dad needed a ride, so got up and then found out they didn't need one anymore..went back to sleep...AJ got up and was cranky! then it was the reunion for the NICU for Mercy San Juan..from 10-12..we came late, typical filipino time, plus Tuan was working so had to wait until he could leave to go to lunch..
NICU reunion was nice, saw a few of his nurses well really two. Stacy and Brie..but the highlight of it all was that we saw his two docs Dr. Manalo and Dr. Saed..it was great! its been a while, and man to see all those preemies turn to be kids is great!
hmm..then came back to elk grove, talked to Kat and had nothing really planned for the day except i wanted Pho..haha..got some and then went to drop of Tuan's food..and she's been looking for a car...used but a honda...
we were leaving and then he tells us to turn around to check out a car..its a 05 silver Solara V6..pretty clean..only 28k miles..and asking price $19k..so negotiations happen and KAT got her car!!!! i'm so proud of her! we doin big things!
hahaha
so we totally went from dropping food off to getting a car totally random! i know she's really happy w/ it! its all nice and pretty unstealable..that's for sure and it looks really classy! go head gurl! so i know she feels a lot better knowing she has transportation to do her errands and just go around, the gym etc etc...
then we had dinner at Mimi's Cafe..we got hooked up w/ some raisin bread! yum yum! thanks Kim! then went to Target, bought some mats for the new car (great new car smell) and then went to Kats..not much of a day..i was suppose to clean house and all..

My to do list tomorrow: or is it today already...

1. clean house, bathrooms, vacuum, bedrooms, kitchen
2. mop floors (possibility)
3. mow lawn, clean up after kylie and aibo
most importantly church @ 9 at good shepherd church..
4. COMPLETE THE BUSINESS PLAN!!!!! THIS IS A MUST DO..(if i had the energy i would so do it right now, but getting really sleepy)

okay i can't think anymore..yawns..see ya then!
aidos!
