My Love For Facebook
Many folks think I joined FB to promote my website, http://www.mikeygatal.com. It’s true that it has become a wonderful social networking tool, but business savvy was not my motivation. Other folks think I did it because it gives me a chance to instantly say what I “like” or a venue to “comment” on other people’s posts. I confess, I DO like doing that. People I will never meet still get to hear my opinion on things. They may or may not care about my viewpoint, but they get my opinion none-the-less.
However, the real reason I joined was so I could find out how my nieces, nephews and family members are doing. I treasure friendships, but the kinships I developed that were forged while working toward the greater good are even more valuable. In addition to the camaraderie and genuine caring that comes with having a great pal, another benefit is they can help keep you on the right track.
We all face challenges. I am no exception. We can succumb to our weaknesses, or we can rise above them. We can withdraw from the world when we are in pain, or we can offer a helping hand to someone who is even worse off than we are.
Here is my advice. The next time you read about a friend on Facebook who is suffering, pick up the phone and call them. Better yet, make an invitation to see them in person. Facebook and My Space are great connecting tools, but they can’t replace the joy of hearing a friendly voice or feeling a warm hug.
I hope the message continues to percolate through your heart and evokes a friendly reaction.
Reach out and touch Somebody’s hand Make this world a better place If you can.

i believe our destiny ,and i believe that there is a sunlight later on .. and i hope i will be the winner
“There is one simple truth to live by. Everything will turn out alright. Let go of worry and believe that destiny is on your side.”
i believe that what’s meant to be will always find a way..
My friend told me before that no matter how much love and goodness you’ve done to your friends they will still hurt you..
I treasure friendship so much..and ive got only few friends but those frnds i believe will stand by me through thick and thin..so,sometimes i believe in less frnd less enemy..(its only my opinion):D
Destiny?
Apply THE SECRET its all about the law of attraction.
I always watch it when im down and hopeless…and i love watching it.
Hey! dont be so sad! soon they will realized they just lost a beautiful frndship with you and they will try to win you back,,,,love is sweeter the second time around you know (wink!) cheer up!
People often say:” If you’re really meant for each other,you’ll still end up together” such a cliche. Don’t they realize that without EFFORT destiny is useless?
but im giving up later on.. i hate to show up on him already..i hidem yself start yesterday so that he can’t see me online…
i got mad and Everyone is always asking me whats wrong… but i don’t even think it makes any sense, its just… my heart hurts..from the first day of our talking and Deep down I knew it wouldn’t last, so why does it hurt so bad? 
i agree… im doing on it now.. i never leave offline messages ,nor to buzz him..i leave him whatever he want..if he want me then he will something to put me back in his life.. i just need time to distance on him and think..
Sometimes we have to be away from the people we love, but that doesn’t make us love them any less, sometimes it makes us love them even more. One of the hardest thing I have to deal with every day is knowing baby was miles away. I miss my baby so much…when you’re so far away from someone…it makes everyday harder.. and you wonder whether it’s going to either pull you together or tear you apart…:(
yes and i am getting so excited though i was there last May during the elections to help a former boss campaign in Davao and i am very happy because he won. see you then. 
wow!
such a lucky charm you are…
let me guess..hmmm your former boss is the one you work with when you worked in Congress..hehhe!
ha ha ha i knowwwww…. karibal ko nga yung sports nya.
it’s like this..
“Someday he cry for me,like I cried for him… Someday he miss me like I missed him… Someday he love me,but I wont love him!”
ana ba ?hahaahah let him love his racketa…lol
I’m no longer making an effort with people that clearly don’t make the effort with me,it hurts a lot when u r really pissed off by someone u really love..
wow! thanks..now i am beginning to enjoy and love social networking because of you.
i really appreciate your invitation and your interest to know me and meet me here in manila.
and i am positive that we can sustain our frndship by sharing ideas and feeling.. as long as your site is here and you comment back, i will continue posting.
During my free time i will keep on checking your site for new menu and new topic..

Kay nalibog (nalito)na ako…hehehe! kadyot lang!
my website was created to initially gather all my family members and relatives in one site, i never knew that it will grow bigger with the support of my friends from all walks of life but i miss my relatives especially my family. they haven’t been posting at the forum lately, they are ignoring me.
its ok, maybe they are just busy like you..lapit na bday mo diba? for sure punta sila on your special day..who knows bigyan ka nila surprise party bukod dun sa big party mo…
keep on smiling…
hala tatanda tayo agad nyan sige ka..hehehe!
btw, para di unfair sayo i will send you my picture..
sige bigyan mo ako list of your frnds and relative then i will contact them…yung parang sa wish ko lang…hehehe!
andito naman ako..ako na lang silip silip muna ha!
basta isipin mo nalang anjan lang sila para sayo,,,okey?
we allow people into our lives – some for a reason, some for a season, some for a lifetime; and we learn and grow, remember and appreciate, hurt and move on…friends can be physically gone, but never mentally. when you meet a friend who means more to you than the world, she/he has left a big imprint in your heart.
loves those talks you have with your friends that last for hours but are completely meaningless..yep those are the best..funny how friends become strangers, and strangers become friends.If you are lucky enough, some strangers are old friends that you get to meet again:)
hahaha!
di pa rin paramdam? hala! laki ng tampo sayo nun! hahahaha! anu ba kiliti nun? for sure alam mo? kunting karinyo bibigay din yun…:P
goodluck again sa laro maya!
