The phrase 'i do' seem to be misunderstood by many, some feel its only connected to relationship, but unknown to them that is wrong, because in life we daily make decisions that are either wrong or right. Am not saying marriage is excluded but my pioint is that it is not just about you getting hooked to someone but it concerns your entire lfe .
In life we make lot od decisions. Some make them out of fear and anxiety, some out of circumstances surrounding them, some out of familys advice or even friends etc. While some make decisions actually from the lords counsel, persnal view and so many too numerous to mention.
Therefore i saw it important to write on this subject matter i tittled 'BEFORE I SAY I DO'. What are the thoughts that flies through our mind when we are about to make decisions, do we really seek the lords idea or we just heard some fake voice from friends, family members or even our personal view and ooops we take the bold step. And when we fail we either feel depress or put the blame on whoever gave us their opinion. This accusation could be eliminated only if we obey some vital principles am about to list down which will be able to lead us into our desire, sustain us there and make us avoid mistakes as we go on with our lives.
First, we talk about four(4) vital questions that we ask our selves befor saying the hrase 'i do' to any area of life weather marriage, career or anything at all, in as much it has to do with making of decisions. These questions include;
WHAT DO I UNDERSTAND ABOUT WHAT AM ABOUT TO DO?
Do i really have enough and strong foundation for this deision i am about to take or am i just having a soft mind towards a hard decison.
WHY DO I WANT TO DO THIS? If its relationship, why do i want to get hooked? why do i want to be a singer, minister, doctor, engineer, physician? or whatever it maybe, why do i want to do it?
AM I READY,

A Midsummer Nights Dream

...A miIn Act 1 Scene 2 I will set up the scene with Peter Quince in the middle on a box stool having him already set out to the audience as being very drama queen like showing to the audience how interested he is in making this little play happen. Then from Peter Quince’s view I will have all the other actors in a semi circle facing both the audience and Quince , this will tackle moving and space and not make it seems like the actors are afraid to use the space ; also by having the actors in this position will propose that each actor has their own space and their own characteristics that no other character can interfere with or take away from. As a director I want the audience to instantly recognise that Shakespeare’s portrayal of Nick Bottom’s character as hilariously overt. In Act 1 scene 2 I will take Bottoms line ‘ An I may hide my face, let me play Thisbe too. Ill speak in a monstrous little voice: ‘Thisne,Thisne!’ ‘Ah ,Pyramus,my lover dear; thy Thisbe dear and lady dear.’ I will have Bottom interrupt Peter Quince before as he says ‘An I may hide my face’ . I will do this because it will already show how humours Bottom is in a very eager way as he cannot wait to interrupt to let out how eager he is to play all characters. When Nick Bottom says this first word I will have him burst out quickly into the centre with his arms open. I will do this because having him walk in the middle will show the audience that he is purposely taking the centre stage because he wants all...

I M Dying: A Short Story

...eyes looked at the autumn leaves and the red scarf she bought danced in the warm wind. “Wh-What!?” I asked, not sure I heard her right, or expecting her to smirk and tell me that she wanted to see my reaction. I would give her a thorough beating if that was the case. Death was not something to joke about. She finally looked at me, really looked at me, she was serious. “Rowyn, I’m dying.” Those words stabbed me, they pierced through all my defences that no enemy had been able to bypass before. “You-you can’t just joke like that Aeryn,” I gave a weak laugh, that caught in my throat. “You seem perfectly fine to me.” I was so panicky I smiled.

Upcat

...University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) is just around the corner and you are surfing the Net, joining forums about THE test and looking for “special tips” for taking the examination, aren’t you? I see you. I cannot help but remember how chill I was on my exam day.  It was not really because I was so confident that I knew everything the premier state university expected me to know. I think it was more because I did not even think I would make the cut. I did not get to attend any review class nor did I buy all the best and recommended UPCAT reviewers. As many UPCAT passers will tell you, it is not really about how much you have studied the summer before for the entrance exams but how much you have learned in school since Day 1. “UPCAT is not a day but a season. It started the day you realized you needed to work hard for your high school grades so it could help you ace the test. UPCAT … started when you began to hope to be an Iskolar ng Bayan,” says broadcast communication graduate Joseph Cataan. All you need for UPCAT are refreshers because, as they say, “you already know what you know.” I was also calm and cool about the whole thing because I was never pressured by my parents. On UPCAT day, my dad said, “Just do what you have to do.” And so I did. People will tell you that getting into UP is not the be-all and end-all but it pays to be assured that you did your part, from pre- to post-exam.

Sex Before Mariage

...I know plenty of girls in high school with no job, no money, who have not finished their education, and have a child; this goes for guys also. And that makes me think; what happened to these young adults who had their whole lives ahead of them? The first thing that comes to my mind is sex before marriage. Now sex is a wonderful thing if it is performed correctly and at the right time. But if you do it at the wrong time, or with the wrong person, or perform it incorrectly, it could be detrimental to you and even your partner. Most young people do not even recognize the consequences that come with having sex before marriage, and more importantly, having unprotected sex. Sex or no sex before marriage? I chose no sex because of my Christian values. I was raised by what the Bible says and it says that you should not have sex before marriage (1 Corinthians 7:2). Now why would it say do not have sexual intercourse before marriage even though it says it is a great thing between a man and woman? Maybe because there are more things unseen behind having sex. I think God said this to protect us from STD’s, hurting relationships, and just from emotional scars. God was not just trying hold out on the good stuff from us, he was protecting us from things seen and unseen that could be detrimental to us. This is why I choose to be celibate until I have found the lady I choose to spend the rest of my life with. I have a friend named Renica who has recently turned seventeen. She is a very beautiful...

Rapper Monologue

...maybe more. I haven’t seen his face since the day when he had pushed me into the desk. He’s careful not to enter the room while I’m awake, probably because of the fact that I’d undoubtedly strangle him if I ever saw him again. Nevertheless, when I do see him again, it’s when I had pretended to sleep. I figured if he had only come while I was unconscious, that the only way to confront him with the questions I have is to fake it. At first, I let him set the meal down on my nightstand. That way, I’d still have the meal when he left. Then, as he turns to leave, I sit up in the bed and say, “I need to talk to you.” At my...

...Advice for Relationships COM200 August 22, 2010 I would like to say I know it all, but I do not. There is so much to learn when it comes to communication. Allowing barriers like silence could affect you and the other person involved. Placating will not show the true you. So be careful and do not over exaggerate. Not responding to things that are asked of you, making excuses, so quit playing games. Be involved in situations as much as you can, but if you keep turning it down then you are just secluding your-self from it. Self-concept is very important. Build your-self up, do not allow someone else to bring you down. You need self-control. It will help you think before you speak; which will allow you to say the right things, just be careful. Words are powerful, so be very careful when you respond to any situation. You take in consideration who you are speaking to and the way your tone of voice is when you say it. When someone discloses any information to you about their past, then be empathic to the situation. So in the situation of someone disclosing information, being a good listener will be beneficial to you. Using strategies for active, critical, and empathic listening will help you communicate better. Receive facts to use in the conversation, ask questions about the subject you are speaking about, and be open minded. Supporting each other and life experiences will help you manage conflicts. Do not let gender nor culture come between you and the other person. It could...

Organization Behavior

...beliefs. Diversity is the differences in race, gender, ethnicity, and how well it is received in the organization. Additionally, communication is also important, if there is an absence of communication it creates barrier between employees, hindering creativity, and disrupting the work environment. The organization that I had worked for in the past is a great example of an organization behavior gone wrong. It is 6:00 AM on Monday my alarm rings, I turn it off and try going back to sleep. When it dawns on me, I am starting my new job today. I get up quickly and get ready to head out. I am so excited and nervous at the same time that I am shaking. It is five minutes before 8:00 AM. I park my car, and head through the employee entrance. As I walk in I see the same woman that I saw on the 16th June 2010 when I came for my interview, I walk up to her and introduce myself. She turns around and says “good morning.” Than points to a door to my right; it says manager on the door. I walk towards the door, as I am about to knock and the door opens.

Myer Briggs Assignment

...analysis of my formula type is that I am a slightly expressed extravert, moderately expressed sensing personality, distinctively expressed feeling personality and slightly expressed perceiving personality. According the results I love people, excitement, telling stories and having fun. This is very accurate about my personality. I love to be around people and am always looking for something exciting and fun to do. In general I love to have fun. One of the things the article I read said about ESFPs is that they are attracted to new ideas and new fashions and gadgets… I don’t see that so much in myself. However, it also says that ESFPs love to tell colorful stories and I definitely do that. I have the tendency to make an otherwise boring event turn to something very interesting. I do love to talk, which is another quality, but I am also a good listener. As far as the functional Analysis, the introverted feeling interest me greatly. I often have trouble making decisions as to what to say and when to say. I have feelings of what could happen or who might be hurt if I say or do certain things. I often weigh out my actions before I say or do them. I am a caretaker and try my hardest not to hurt anyone’s feelings or cause unnecessary harm. Next, I would say the extraverted sensing part of my personality also interest me. I definitely live for excitement. If I don’t think it’s going to harm anyone, I may go to an extreme to have fun or help someone. I love trying new things and having...

I believe that these two words have been abused to the extent that their original meanings have been lost in a fog of too much respect and mystery. Science for me, and for the vast majority of respectable scientists, is not about the secrets of nature or even about truths. Science is simply the method we use to try and postulate a minimum set of assumptions that can explain, through a straightforward logical derivation, the existence of many phenomena of nature. The Law of Conservation of Energy of physics is not truth. It is just an assumption that is valid in explaining a tremendous amount of natural phenomena. Such an...

It is behind a sliding panel in the hallway upstairs. Our faction allows me to stand in front of it on the second day of every third month, the day my mother cuts my hair. I sit on the stool and my mother stands behind me with the scissors, trimming. The strands fall on the floor in a dull, blond ring. When she finishes, she pulls my hair away from my face and twists it into a knot. I note how calm she looks and how focused she is. She is well-practiced in the art of losing herself. I can’t say the same of myself. I sneak a look at my reflection when she isn’t paying attention—not for the sake of vanity, but out of curiosity. A lot can happen to a person’s appearance in three months. In my reflection, I see a narrow face, wide, round eyes, and a long, thin nose—I still look like a little girl, though...
