♥ - WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD... 04/02/2013 - ♥





The secret of life isn't what happens to you, 
but what you do with what happens to you.
Help other people to cope with their problems
 and your own will be easier to cope with.
Never use the word impossible seriously again. 
Toss it into the verbal wastebasket.
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
 So believe in and trust yourself.
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them.
 You will find that they haven't half
 the strength you think they have.
Joy increases as you give it, 
and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself. 
In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy
 greater than you ever believed possible.
How you think about a problem is more important 
than the problem itself - so always think positively.
''Keep your hands open, 
and all the sands of the desert
can pass through them. 
Close them,
and all you can feel is a bit of grit.''

Taisen Deshimaru

" For me, 
winning isn't something 
that happens suddenly 
on the field 
when the whistle blows 
and the crowds roar.
Winning is something 
that builds physically 
and mentally every day 
that you train and
every night 
that you dream."

~ Emmitt Smith

Out of every crisis 
comes the chance to be reborn, 
to reconceive ourselves as individuals, 
to choose the kind of change
 that will help us 
to grow and to 
fulfill ourselves 
more completely
 
~ Nena O'Neill

Life
 becomes harder for us 
when we live for others, 
but 
it also becomes richer 
and 
happier.
 
---- Albert Schweitzer

Do not spoil 
what you have 
by desiring
what you have not;
but remember that 
what you now have
was once among 
the things you
only hoped for.

~ Unknown
Do not permit anyone 
to narrow and degrade 
your soul. 
Be yourself,
and feel the peace 
within you.

~ Unknown




Break Free of Resentment

Resentment is like a parasite. 
It feeds on you and leaves you 
weakened by its presence. 
Its only purpose is to take from you – 
and take it will.
 
Break free and shake resentment off! 
There’s simply no room in your life 
for this negative energy. 
You have so much to do
 and so many places to go. 
If you let resentment get in the way
 you’ll never reach your potential.
 
Start by focusing on what you do have, 
not on what is lacking. 
Stop fretting about what should have been,
 and concentrate on what could be. 
Forgive, forget, and move on.
 
Let go of resentment today 
and you’ll be amazed by all the space
 it leaves in your life for better things.


by Jane Powell 











“Young friends, do not hesitate to follow the example of Pedro,
 who ‘pleased God and was loved by him’
 and who, having come to perfection in so short a time,
 lived a full life.” 
– Pope John Paul II



Alimango (Mud Crab)

Alimango (Mud Crab) are originally mangrove dwellers but now widely farmed in ponds with brackish water. They are plentiful in the remaining mangrove areas around the country and range in size from tiny babies to the giants at about 1 kilo a piece. They have medium to firm textured meat with a delicate sweet flavor that I find absolutely delicious. They have much thicker shellsthan the blue or orange shelled crabs that seem to have more delicate meat. 



They can be prepared steamed with 

lots of old bay seasoning, or steamed 

plain and served with lemon butter,

 stir-fried with garlic and oil, cooked 

with chili and tomatoes, boiled in 

coconut milk, and fried into crab 

cakes.



Ang SARAP talaga ng Alimango!
