Joke...Joke...Joke

From an Irish Proverb, " A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book."

So now, let's take a break and laugh...

Serious jokes:

1. A man left the snow - filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick e-mail.

Unfortunately, when typing her address, he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly woman whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in the dead faint.

At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest Wife,

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

P.S. Sure is hot down here.

2. A wife said to her husband you never bring me out, I demand that you bring me somewhere expensive!

And the husband brought her to a gasoline station.

3. A family was having some people to dinner. At the table, the mother turned to her 6 year old daughter and said, "Dear, would you like to say the blessing?"

"I wouldn't know what to say," replied the little girl, shyly.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say, sweetie," the woman said.

Her daughter took a deep breath, bowed her head, and solemnly said,

"Dear Lord, why the hell did I invite all these people to dinner!??!"

When the love is gone, what is left?

Nothing is certain. Everything is temporary even good relationships change.

Best friends became strangers. Good marriage turned to divorce. United organizations divided. It is so amazing how two strangers become friends but it is so sad how two friends become strangers. It breaks my heart to see people leave their group of friends, teammates, associates, office mates and spouses. The love and the good memories that once they shared, turned to a nightmare. Criticisms, backstabbing and the strong feeling of dislikes took place, that even mentioning one's name sounds to be a bad word. And the very heartbreaking is, when both sides wait that something harm fall upon the other. And when it happens, the other feels delighted.

Sometimes, it's easy to say that we love someone but when we are tested by fate, the feeling suddenly changes. When the love is gone, hatred and pride left behind which are very insidious. Often, we do not realize we have succumbed to it as we try to prove things right. We merely focus on the imperfections of the person. Isn't that love means to love the imperfect person perfectly?

When someone violate our own rules, why is it so difficult to forgive? Is it because we are terribly hurt? Or, we just refuse to recognize that somehow someway we are wrong too?

Is he/she qualifies?

I was riding a bus going to our province to visit my family, when I heard two women talking about their love life. Oops...I am not an eavesdropper but couldn't help it, everyone in the bus can hear their conversation. Well, somehow it was like a bonus for us, we're like listening to a live talk show. But are they entertaining? Yes, they are. They were talking on how they collected boyfriends before to find the Mr. Right but they ended to marry someone unqualified based on their qualifications they have for themselves. ( The tall, dark and handsome thing, you know. )Not only me who laughed quietly but other passengers too, i knew. ( Keen observer kaya ako, hehe. )

"It is so funny how we set qualifications of the person we want to love, while at the back of our minds, we know that the person we love is always be an exception." This saying fits perfectly for those two women but we know this applies to everyone.
