"Because I made a promise," Shin-Ju said.
"I promise her that I'd be with her...
and help her take the consequences of making her own choices.
Now more than ever, I have to be with her.
I can't break that promise now. I won't.
Promises should be kept no matter what the cost."

Marrying a CPA?
nagkataon lang nakapagbasa nanaman ako ng bulletin board sa friendster at nako! 1st time ko (ulit) mag-post,.. makalipas ang mahabang panahon,.. hehehe
When i told my parents that i wanted a professional woman as my wife, they got me one; a Certified Public Accountant. She uses LIFO method while taking out the refrigerated food. She thinks i am no good at figure work. Fine with me, for now she handles the budget of the house. Initially she used to send me a bill at the month end, but when i told her that i am not her client but her husband, she asks for the money in advance. The expenses had been rising steadily over the months, so one day i snooped into the papers maintained in a current file.
No wonder! She was charging conveyance and overtime to the house budget. She is crazy, i tell her but she corrects me. No my darling, i am the auditor. I fail to see the light. Every scrap of the paper in our house is filed. She tells me as per some Ordinance she must keep a copy of everything for at least ten years before destroying it. I am worried.
The other day we had an hour-long fight. Later, i got to know that she had charged that hour to a client of hers, in the time sheet. My time was put down as unoccupied.
She says that she loves me and i tell her that i love her too. However, she never believes me. She says that there is susceptibility of it being a misstatement <---. Duh! She wants my representation on this!
Last year our house accounts got a qualified opinion. I had not kept the supporting receipts of my purchases.
Not a long time back my brother's wedding was to be solemnized. Wedding cards had been sent. After some time i started receiving a steady trickle of letters. I was puzzled until my wife explained that external evidence was more reliable. She had called for confirmations from all those to whom cards were sent.
When she cooks, my wife at times does not go by recipe. Where the recipe says add half-teaspoon vinegar, one tsp black salt or one teacup of water, she ignores them. She says that they are not material when taken in context of whole meal being prepared. She is crazy!!! I tell you. Surprisingly everybody calls her an auditor, instead. I checked the dictionary and it did not state that auditor is a synonym for crazy. The dictionary must be outdated.
When we got married she gave me an Engagement Letter and i said, how cute - how sweet. Now, she gives it to me every year saying that her standards state that it must be sent anew if there is any indication that i have misunderstood the objective and scope of engagement. Huh!
Apart from sending me the engagement letter, once again she says i can't get rid of her just like that. She says that she has the right of being heard before i appoint someone else. It seems i must keep reading one local and another English newspaper published and circulated in the vicinity of our house for more details. For a minute, i thought that we had jeopardized our going concern status. Dare i say so??
I am told by one of my female colleagues who is married to a CPA that the scenario is even worse when the guy is a CPA. Apparently he capitalized the wedding expenses as preliminary expenses and is writing it off every year.
Also the time he spent dating his wife before marrying her is still under consideration for valuation under SFAS/IAS 38, valuation of intangible assets.
So guyz, please think twice.....should you really marry a CPA? And yes, please discount it by the appropriate rate to arrive at the present value of the risk of doing so!!!!
//ang kulit,.. hahahah I will be a Certified Public Accountant! (with God's LOVING GRACE) pero hehehe OA yan,.. katuwaan lang,.. PEACE!~

Salty Love Story
// reposted
Salty Coffee: An amazing Love Story
He met her at a party. She was so beautiful, many guys were chasing after her, while he was so plain and simple, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but to be polite, she consented. They went to a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable,she thought, please, let me go home....suddenly he asked the waiter.
"would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, How strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously; why you have salt in your coffee? He replied:"when I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I like playing in the sea,I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who still live there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.
That's his true feelings, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can share his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home,has ties to his home.
Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.
They continued to date. She found that he was actually a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful.He was such a good person but she almost missed knowing him!Thanks to his salty coffee!
The story ended just like every beautiful love story ,the princess married the prince, then they lived happily ever after... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in it, as she knew that's the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest,please forgive me, I have been lying my whole life. This was the only lie I told you---the salty coffee.
Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change it,so I just went ahead.I never thought that could be the start of our conversation! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you about anything. Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I can tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste..But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!
Since I met you, I don't ever feel sorry for everything I did for you. "Having you with me is the biggest thrill of my whole life. If I can live a second time around, I would still want to know you and have you for the rest of my life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".Her tears made the letter totally wet. One day, someone asked her:how did the salty coffee taste? It was very sweet, she replied.Love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but to understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go but to HOLD ON !!!!

Show Me Love
Allo... Allo... Vidish' veter? Nu I chto? Posmotri v okno... Nu I chto? A vchera bylo solntse... Nu I chto? Zachem ty vse vremya govorish' odno I tozhe? A ya - avtootvetchik
Translations: Hello ... Hello ... Do you see how windy it is? So what? Look out your window ... So what? It was so sunny yesterday So what? Why are you always saying the same thing? I'm an answering machine.
This was an accident Not the kind where sirens sound Never even noticed We're suddenly crumbling
Tell me how you've never felt Delicate or innocent Do you still have doubts that Us having faith makes any sense
Tell me nothing ever counts Lashing out or breaking down Still somebody loses 'cause There's no way to turn around
Staring at your photograph Everything now in the past Never felt so lonely I Wish that you could show me love
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til you open the door
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til I'm up off the floor
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til it's inside my pores
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til I'm screaming for more
Random acts of mindlessness Commonplace occurrences Chances and surprises Another state of consciousness
Tell me nothing ever counts Lashing out or breaking down Still somebody loses 'cause There's no way to turn around
Tell me how you've never felt Delicate or innocent Do you still have doubts that Us having faith makes any sense
You play games, I play tricks Girls and girls, but you're the one Like a game of pick-up-sticks Played by Fucking lunatics
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til you open the door
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til I'm up off the floor
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til it's inside my pores
Show me love, show me love, show me love Show me love, show me love 'Til I'm screaming for more
Show me love, show me love, give me all that I want Show me love, show me love, give me all that I want Show me love, show me love, give me all that I want Show me love, show me love, 'Til I'm screaming for more
mama papa forgive me
