Journey in Life

A lot of people think being a woman is like a second gender, a submissive one, the weaker gender compared to men.  Sometimes in a society, women are looked down, abused of, and being stepped down emotionally…. Women are expected to do everything the feminist way although in today’s modern society, we have evolved into a different role.  No longer just a stay home wife/mum, some of us also a job and a career, yet, no matter what, our role as a woman stays the same because we are made as a W.O.M.A.N. and this is a fact that will never change no matter how evolve our world will become in the future.  Nevertheless, we should be very proud being a WOMAN as it is not easy being one as no matter what those ego stricken male would say, I reckon being a woman is trully a gifted privilege and nobody can ever take those privileges away… So here’s a tribute to us W.O.M.E.N…. (heheehe.. for all the males reader, pls dont get mad… or jealous.. *Grin*) 

W.O.M.A.N 

When God created woman he was working very late.  On the 6th Day, an Angel came by and said: "Why spend so much time on that one?"

And the Lord answered: "Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape HER?"

"She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of foods, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands". 

The Angel was impressed.  "Just two hands.. IMPOSSIBLE!".  "and this is the standard model? Too much work for one day.. wait until tomorrow and then complete her".

"I Will Not", said the Lord.  "I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart". "She cures herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day". 

The Angel came nearer and touched the woman.  "But You have made her so soft, Lord". 

"She is soft", said the Lord, "But I have also made her strong.. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can She think?" The Angle asked.  The Lord answered: "Not only can she think, She can Reason and Negotiate". 

The Angel touched the woman’s cheek.  "Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her".

"She is not leaking.. It’s a Tear" .. The Lord corrected the Angel. 

"What’s it for?"  Asked the Angel.  And the Lord said:

"Tears are her way of expressing Grief, her Doubts, her Love, her Loneliness, her Suffering and her Pride".. 

This made a big impression on the Angel; "Lord you are trully a Genius.. You thought of everything, this Woman is indeed MARVELLOUS!"…

Indeed She Is…!

WOMAN has strenghts that amazes man. 

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. 

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when feeling like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, crys when she is happy and laughs when she is afraid. 

She fights for what she believes in.  She stands up against injustice. 

She doesn’t take "NO" for an answer, when she can see a better solution.

She gives herself so her family can thrive. 

She takes her friend to the doctor if she is afraid. 

Her LOVE is UNCONDITIONAL. 

She cries when her kids are victorious. 

She is happy when her friends do so well.  She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.

Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies. But she finds the strength to get on with life.

She knows that a Kiss or a Hug can heal a broken heart. 

There is only one thing Wrong with her..

"SHE FORGETS WHAT SHE IS WORTH…" 

Sometimes we as a woman feel that we do not worth anything and that the things we do are expected from us.. sometimes we work so hard to please everybody around us.. to be someone’s wife, someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, someone’s in law, someone’s friends, someone’s employee, etc… sometimes we do need to be appreciated just because we gives so much and it’s sad and depressing to know that all are taken for granted… So gals.. women.. "Be Proud and Happy for who you are cos indeed We are one Great Creation by the Lord… "

(to my mum, I think she is trully a wonderful woman.. for all her endured sufferings, her love, her patiences, her encouragements, her strenghts and the perseverence she put up all these years for her children - not easy being a single mother, I’m so proud being her daughter.. Love you Mummy dearest.. She is indeed a woman of the Century in my heart always..)

As a married person, We often ask ourselves this question, "Did I Marry the Right Person?" I’ve come across a forwarded email on this topic and I thought I might as well share wif all of you people out there.. for those who is married, getting married, or simply in love, please READ ON…

"How do I know if I married the right person?"

Here’s the answer:

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with
your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked
their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn’t hard. In fact, it was a
completely natural and spontaneous experience.

You didn’t have to DO anything. That’s why it’s called "falling" in
love… Because it’s happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the
imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing
there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling is love is easy. It’s a passive and spontaneous experience. But
after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It’s the
natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls
become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when
it happens), and your spouse’s idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute,
drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you
think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between
the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry
subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry
the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of
the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with
someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their
spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for
fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is
the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a
friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this
dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I’m not
saying that you couldn’t fall in love with someone else. You could.

And TEMPORARILY you’d feel better. But you’d be in the same situation a
few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT’S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It’ll NEVER
just happen to you. You can’t "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it
day in and day out. That’s why we have the __expression "the labor of
love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly,
it takes WISDOM.

You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific
things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your
marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there
are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise
program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your
relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It’s a direct cause and
effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable…
you can "make" love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"… Not just a feeling.
