"Apologizing does not mean that you are wrong and the other one is right...
It simply means that you value the relationship much more than your ego..."





The story goes that some time ago a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy. The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner, "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?"

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full. The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

It's been a long while since I haven't updated this blog ever since I've been transported to another place. Actually, I barely updated this even when I was still in my hometown.

But things have changed (well, mostly) and somehow I want to maintain this blog site now that I feel like I've settled in my new place! I just hope that I would stay true in maintaining and updating this because before, I usually just post or even visit my blog when I feel like it. But now, I want to dedicate a part of time for this and make some efforts in improving this blog site. And if this turns out to be a success, I might as well buy my own new domain! :D

Well for now, I just hope that whatever is contained in this blog site will somehow be beneficial to the people hopping into this messy, crappy site. :D I'm still trying to make improvements. (I really want to change my layout but I dunno where to start...T.T) Well, I hope everyone would enjoy my posts and maybe learn something from it! :D Well, sayonara for now and ganbatteh! (=^.^=) God bless everyone!
