Do Good Anyway... by Mother Teresa

I've often received this poem thru email. But only now that it made sense to me... people may have hurt you.. people may forget you... Do good anyway. Often times, we get hurt in the process, but we are called to do good anyway. They may not appreciate it, yet we are to do good anyway. In the long run, I know it will pay off... God will reward you for doing the right thing. May God be glorified!



Do good anyway...

"In the Final Analysis"
by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered...
forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives...
be kind anyway

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies... succeed anyway

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you...
be honest and frank anyway

What you may spend years building, someone may destroy overnight...
build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous...
be happy anyway

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow...
do good anyway

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough...
give the world the best you have anyway

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God...
it was never between you and them anyway.

A Bear-y Cute Smile

I've long wanted to start a scrapbook but wasn't able to do so due to a very busy schedule. Not until 7th of March that I was able to buy illustration board to make my own "scrapbook album". Yup, I want it to be personalized and inexpensive. Normally, a scrapbook album cost ranges from P800 to P 3,000 or more.

I've got the chance to drop by at National Bookstore in Makati and bought a 1/2 sized illustration board plus a special paper and some clips to fasten it.

Here's the finished product.


And now, I was able to make my first scrapbook page (whoah! after a month... 07 April 2008 hahaha!). It was taken when I was 2 years of age, 01 January 1978. Originally, the picture was taken together with my cousins. But I thought, it would be better if I'll be solo there. I asked a photoshop to edit the picture sometime in 2004 or 2005. I had a bear-y cute smile...



I hope my 2nd-page scrapbook would take that long before I finish it... hehehe
