Would you be my "number Two"?

The Helper (the Two)

Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

How to Get Along with Me

  • Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
  • download movies best free download movies ang cheap cigarettes very nice download mp3 best mp3 free buy cialis online
  • Share fun times with me.
  • Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
  • Let me know that I am important and special to you.
  • Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.

    In Intimate Relationships

  • Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
  • Reassure me often that you love me.
  • Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a Two

  • being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
  • knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
  • being generous, caring, and warm
  • being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
  • being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a Two

  • not being able to say no
  • having low self-esteem
  • feeling drained from overdoing for others
  • not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
  • criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
  • being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tume in to them
  • working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

Twos as Children Often

  • are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism
  • try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding
  • are outwardly compliant
  • are popular or try to be popular with other children
  • act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention
  • are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted Twos), or quiet and shy (the more introverted Twos)

Twos as Parents

  • are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't)
  • are often playful with their children
  • wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?"
  • can become fiercely protective

Just When They Thought Love is Enough...

Two German children, six and seven, elope for Africa

Agence France-Presse | 01/07/2009 10:13 PM

BERLIN - Two childhood sweethearts, aged six and seven, eloped from Hanover in northern Germany on New Year's Eve, determined to tie the knot under the African sun, police said Monday.

The pair identified as Mika and Anna-Lena "are very much in love and decided to get married in Africa where it is warm, taking with them as a witness Anna-Lena's little sister, aged five," police spokesman Holger Jureczko told AFP.

The idea for the romantic trip began when Mika told the two girls about his recent holiday in Italy, while their families celebrated New Year's Eve together. "From this, the children began to make plans for the future," Jureczko said.

As the first dawn of 2009 broke, the trio started to put these plans into action, packing all the essentials for the journey, including "sunglasses, swimming trunks, a lilo, summer clothes and provisions."

While their parents slept, they left their house in the suburbs of Hanover, walked a kilometre (two-thirds of a mile) up the road to a tram stop from where they took a tram for the central station.

Waiting for a train to the airport, they aroused the attention of a guard who contacted police.

Two officers managed to convince the young lovers that they would struggle to get to Africa without money or a plane ticket.

As a consolation, the children were given a special tour of the police headquarters at Hanover station where they were especially taken with the detention cells.

Their relieved parents picked them up from the station, the spokesman said, adding: "They can still put their plan into action at a later date."

New Leaf

2008 is ending. In a few hours we will be saying hello to a brand spanking new one.

I have been truly blessed this year, as I was the past years. With that I am eternally grateful to the Lord. I have let go of certain things (and people) this year, though the void left was filled with new things (and people) that are making my life more colourful and interesting (to say the least).

To those who entered my life this year, I am truly grateful that you did :) Stay there, please. To those that remained through all the ups and downs, I am also eternally grateful. You will be blessed a million-fold (pramis!). Those who I have not seen for a looooong time, let's catch up in 2009 :) We owe each other lots of kwento.

I have also learned who my friends are, and who aren't this year. Trials sure has its way of filtering the dirt, and purifying the soul. I may have failed in some, triumphed in some, but in the end I got through everything because of Him Who is Forever there with me. I am not worthy, but hey, He loves that much (and more). All I can do is accept it :)

So to all my real friends, I thank you, I truly do. I may not be good in showing it, but rest assured you are all in my prayers.

To those who have a different opinion about me, I ask for forgiveness if I have hurt you. I did not mean to do any of it. I also pray for enlightenment, that you see me for who I am and not draw conclusions from mere superficial facts. You're also in my prayers :)

Second chances. Everyone needs one. I sure do. And I can't wait to start my life on a new leaf for 2009.

Here's to more blessings, adventures, parties, good times and fun!

Happy New Year everyone! :D

A pleasant morning surprise

This morning a huge bouquet of flowers (orchids) was delivered to our office, with a card signed anonnymously. It also made a reference to a past blog entry of mine (which meant he has read/reads my blog).

This is the first someone gaveme flowers. I'll admit, it feels nice (kilig, even) to receive flowers (despite girls saying that they didn't want to) and I would like to thank him, whoever my mysterious flower-giver is, for it .

I have been up to my neck with work the past couple of weeks, and I am this close in becoming an image model for Stresstabs (the BEFORE model). This little surprise sure is a welcome break from all the stressors here in the office.

What can I say? The Lord sure knows how to make a girl smile

Wow ang... gulo ng work station ko

Who could this be from?
