Being Happy’s a Cinch - When You Remember
Posted by admin in General Talk on 07 22nd, 2008 It’s easy enough to be happy, peaceful and positive, right?
No, I’m serious. It’s easy enough to be happy, peaceful and positive - when you remember to be. But we don’t always get to remember.
Take this morning. I went into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. I turned on the tap and blam! I had knocked a filter jug full of water off the worktop. Right onto the floor. Oh man!
Now, I knew who had left it there. I knew that it was far too near the edge of the worktop for safety, and I knew that they always do that and that it was an accident waiting to happen and that -
But hang on a moment, I interrupted my usual reaction when accidents happen - finding someone to blame - did anyone actually die here?
Another part of my self had jumped in. I’d like to call it my ‘sane self’. How would I feel about this tomorrow? Actually I probably wouldn’t even remember the event. Maybe I’d be a little careful next time even. Maybe I could actually even learn something from this.
Now I knew where the first way of dealing with it would lead. I’d make a mental note to bring this up with my partner tonight. ‘By the way, don’t leave things right at the front of the worktop.’ Actually that was the best I could hope for, quite possibly I’d already be irritated by something else and ‘How many times have I asked you not to -’ might well be the first thing my loved one heard when she came through the door. Cue another ‘interesting’ evening.
Luckily for me I remembered to jump in. I remembered that my reaction to events causes my feelings, my relationships and my happiness. I remembered that I make my own happiness.
So I went through a quick checklist:
1 Did anyone actually die here? If not, breathe. Now.
2 Was anyone injured? If so find the best way to help. Now.
3 Did anything get broken? If so clean it up. Decide if you need to get a new one.
4 Does anything need cleaning up? If so, clean it up. Now.
5 Anything else? If not, carry on with your day. Forget about it. Let it go.
See how that checklist takes me out of the ‘find someone else to blame’ reaction and instantly gives me something to do, as well as helping me get a little perspective. It seems to be the perspective that we lose when unexpected things happen.
When we’re in the heat of the moment quite simply, we ‘get carried away’. We see red, get mad, lose control, or a hundred-and-one other ways of simply denying responsibility.
So the next time that you knock the milk jug over try my ‘did anyone die’ checklist. You never know, it might just work for you too.
Remember to let your sane, reasoned self jump in. It might take a bit of practice, and maybe you need to make your own checklist, but I’m pretty sure it can work for you too.
And you might find that your reactions to life’s events cause your own reality.
And that’s a very liberating thing.

Posted by admin in Joker's Site on 05 1st, 2008I was a very happy person. My wonderful girlfriend and
I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing
bothering me … it was her beautiful younger sister.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She
would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I
always got more than a pleasant view of her private
parts. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when
she was near anyone else.
One day “little” sister called and asked me to come
over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone
when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had
feelings and desires for me that she couldn’t
overcome.

Dowry/Nuptial Presents
Posted by admin in Joker's Site on 05 1st, 2008Isang Pinoy ang nagtayo ng Company sa isang bansa sa Asia. Makalipas ang apat na buwan, dumalo siya sa party ng Ambassador. Doon sa Embassy, nakita niya ang napakagandang Secretary ng Amb. Sabay ligaw agad ang Pinoy. Tradition dito sa bansa, pag nanligaw ka, magbibigay ka ng dowry/nuptial presents para makapag-asawa ka. Sasabihin agad ng babae kung ano ang gusto niya.
Babae: 1st dowry, bigyan mo ako ng 14 carat gold wedding band at 72 carat diamond ring. Tumawag ang Pinoy sa cell phone at sinabi sa kaniyang Accountant ang kailangan. Sabi ng Accountant, walang problema. Naisip ng Secretary na ‘easy’ lang pala ang unang request kaya’t tataasan niya ang susunod na dowry.
Babae: 2nd dowry, magpatayo ka ng 60 acre mansion sa New York at 40 acre summer home in France. Tinawag ng Pinoy ang kaniyang Broker sa NY at France. Sagot ng mga Broker, wala rin problema. Read the rest of this entry »

Praying for 10 Pesos
Posted by admin in Joker's Site on 05 1st, 2008Sa loob ng simbahan ng Quiapo, isang batang pulubi ang mataimtim na nanalangin sa Diyos.
Pulubi: “Panginoon kung maaari po sana ay bigyan ninyo ako ng sampung piso dahil gutom na gutom na lang po ako.”
Narinig sya ng isang pulis na kasalukuyan ding nagsisimba at bumilib sya sa katatagan ng bata sa pananampalataya sa Diyos. Sa kanyang habag ay dumukot sya ng limang piso at iniabot sa bata na ang sabi: “Amang, narinig ng Diyos ang panalangin mo at heto tanggapin mo ang perang ito at ibili mo ng pagkain”.
Tumingala ang bata sa pulis, kinuha nya ang limang pisong iniabot at muling yumuko para manalangin: “Panginoon, salamat po sa pagdinig ninyo sa aking panalangin, pero sana naman po sa uli-uli wag na ninyong pararaanin pa sa pulis, kasi malaki na ang bawas”.
