cool :)

why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.


Thumb represents your -- Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& Last (Little) finger represents your Children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip
(As shown in the figure Above)

Now, try to Separate your Thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong (Sorry but its the Truth), and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day...

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CAN NOT ..,


Coz Husband &Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin.. !!

ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY.. ??

To meet and part is the way of life.....
To part and meet is the hope of life.....

we must be thankful that we're not damaged as bad as those who are in rizal, pasig, and other places that are affected by this typhoon. we should bring back what typhoon ondoy took from our countrymen

In coordination with the SENIORS batch 2009-2010 let us all donate for the typhoon victims.

ondoy

the least thing that our country expected is a typhoon like this. ugh. it converted the manila area to a huge water formation. everyone was stranded and stuck at the roofs of their houses. many people died. and lots of people were affected.

I feel lucky that my friends and relatives are all okay. some experienced floods and entered their houses. but at least they're all safe.

let's pray for those people who are greatly affected by this typhoon ondoy. especially those in Rizal, and marikina

GO SENIORES! :)

got our senior year shirt HAHAHA go SENIORES!!
3 weeks without formal lesson. woohoo! :)

september

"wake me up when SEPTEMBER ends"
"do you remember? the 21st day of SEPTEMBER?"

ever wondered why September is always associated with songs or poems? honestly, I don't know the answer too. HAHAHA I'm also wondering why.

anyway. the 1st week of September for me is so busy, hectic and tiring yet worth it. why? it's because the two competitions that we look forward each year will be held at the same week. the cheers and yells competition(which we still haven't practiced as a level) and the MAPEH on the go intersection which is 5mins. Aerobics dance for the fourth year students. luckily, our section's already done with the dance. all we have to do is to polish the whole routine and enjoy :)

as for the AYC's activities next week. we have jam packed activity for 1 day. and it's on september 11,2009 the Tagis lakas '10 and coronation night of MR. AND MS. CSA. next week's will be very very very tiring!


OH by the way. Father Willy will be in Manila on September 11 onwards! yay! we'll have a get together reunion with AYC 08-09 I miss them so much!
