One-to-Ten

One heartbreak,
Two eyes crying,
Three words never said again,
Four hands that won't be held,
Five mornings you'll pass him in the halls,
Six love notes, ripped and torn,
Seven days a week you'll think of him,
Eight sad songs at night before bed,
Nine wishes that never came true,
Ten years before he realize that it has always been you..

Like Trees Do

The leaves of trees just keep falling.

Lesson?

You can't always keep someone to yourself forever.
Sometimes, you have to let go.
Yet, you have to remain standing..
like trees do..

expectations

Don't expect anything from anyone,
expectations hurt.
When you don't expect,
every moment is a surprise..
and every surprise brings happiness.

Cliche But Bites

"If you love what you're doing,
you'll never get bored."

same with..

"If you love that someone,
you'll never get tired."

Regrets and Learnings

There are things we regret:
words we wish had gone unsaid,
beginnings that had bitter endings,
chances we threw away,
roads we should have never taken,
signs we did not see,
hearts we hurt needlessly,
and wounds we wish we could mend.

The past can't be rewritten,
but it can make you stronger.

Be thankful for every change, for every heartbreak, for every scar.
Pages were turned, bridges were burned, but you..
You have learned..

Distance

One grows distant from another not because of hatred, not because of indifference, but because of fear.

There's the fear that the hurt gets greater as one gets closer;
a recognition of the rendency to fall deeply, and consequently drown in a quicksand of stupid irrationalities.

Sometimes,
what drives one away is not the absence of emotion,
but the overwhelming presence of it.

Christmas

Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish.

Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.

~Francis C. Farley

Standards

Being kind isn't enough to win someone's heart.

We're too 'into' finding that perfect someone. Perfect beauty, intelligence and personality.

Then after the long search, we find ourselves falling helplessly with someone who's not even half of our ideal person.

We fail to realize that no matter how much standards we set, we'd always end up not with someone we want but with someone we can't resist falling for.

my real purpose

I can't weep for the rest of my life, 'coz I wasn't born to feel pain all the time..
Someday I'll find courage to let everybody know that my real purpose is to love..
and not to cry..

for the sake of holding on..

Love doesn't count on the laughter that you shared
but the number of tears and pain that you try to get over with
for the sake of holding on..

rules of love

Rule # 1:
Know him / her: Baka naghahanap lang sya ng kalinga habang hindi sila okay ng present jowa nya.

Rule # 2:
Mag-ingat sa mga Pasweet: Naku po! dami nyan! Wag magpagoyo sa mga pa-fall na mga taong ito.

Rule # 3:
Know something about their past: Malay mo, isa ito sa kanyang mga revenge.

Rule # 4:
Know your status: dahil hindi sa lahat ng oras, kailangan ng relasyon!

Rule # 5:
Control your feelings, suppress if necessary: dahil hindi lahat ng maganda sa pakiramdam, TAMA!

rejoice

Life is a matter of perspective,
either you complain because roses have thorns,
or u can rejoice because thorns have roses.

"DUMP me now, CHEAT me never!"

Why do girls require honesty in a relationship?
It's because they don't want to live on lies!

Keep this in mind:
"Girls rather choose to be DUMPED!
than being CHEATED!"

favorite sounds

An enlightening pastime is to make a list of favorite things that impact the senses. Not only does it provide a challenging exercise for the mind and memory, but it sharpens our appreciation of there golden moments in time..

Let me share it with you my ten favourite sounds:

--A distant train whistle;
--A mother talking to her new baby;
--The scrunch of leaves on a bright day;
--A sound of videoke machine;
--A hound baying in the woods at night;
--The absolute silence of a mountain lake at sunset;
--A crackling fire on a bitter day;
--A stadium crowd singing the national anthem;
--The excitement of children upon seeing ice cream;
--And lastly my love ones voices.

Try the exercise for favorite sounds, smells, or sights.
You may learn something about yourself.

looking for love?

We don't look for love..
because it's lonely to be watching movies alone..
because it's sad to eat meals on your own..
because it's nice to cuddle up with someone on rainy days..

We look for love because we want to be accepted..
for the sloppy way we dress..
for the clumsy way we eat our meals..
for bad hair days..
and for the simplicity in us..

Love is an act of acceptance..
that with all our imperfections,
we are accepted and loved..

characters

Bravery..
..is saying no to what you believe is no.

Sacrifice..
..is saying no to what you think is yes.

Confidence..
..is saying yes to what you think is yes.

Trusting..
..is saying yes to what you think is no.

this can be love

Find someone who can make you feel completely comfortable

and totally nervous at the same time.

Relations to Love

What is SEXY?

-- sexy is standing in the rain with someone and letting that someone push you against the hood of your car, tearing your shirt, as he kiss you with the intent never to stop..

What is CUTE?

-- cute is young and inexperienced. It's holding hands in the car and kssing at the red lights..

What is PASSION?

-- it's knowing what you want and stopping at nothing until you get it..

What is LOVE?

-- It's the balance of all of these things, in your mind, heart, body and soul.

..Find that someone who'll love you even if heaven and earth collide.

ahuh

Why is it hard to forgive when you were hurt,
Especially when the one who hurt you is very special?

But the truth is, I'm not mad at the things he did..
I just can't accept that I have no importance to the person I value the most..

lonely

You know what lonely means?

It's when you go to sleep at night without anyone to say I love you..
and when you wake up, you open your eyes, you realize that nothing's change..
..you're still alone..

hmp! to them..

It doesn't matter what other people think or say..
I DON'T LIVE TO PLEASE THEM!!

What matter is I've made the most of what I have, I had fun, I learned from what I've done and lived through it all despite the gossips and intrigues..

That's being real..
Just live a life, fearless of other peoples shadow..

laught til your stomach aches

Don't take life seriously..
Always find time to laugh..
Remember that laughter will not only add years to your life..
..but will definitely add life to your years..

learnings

I've learned that when you plan to get even with someone, you're only letting that person continue to hurt you..

I've learned that ignoring the facts do not change the facts..

I've learned that the easiest way to grow as a person is to surround yourself with people smarter than you are..

I've learned that noone is perfect until you fall in love with them..

and I've learned that life is tough,
but you can be tougher..

single and available

it's tough to stay single in this world,
where everybody expect you to be with somebody.
but staying single is not having no choice,
rather it's an opportunity to make intelligent choices..

one great love

It's sad to let a good love pass you by, just because you're too scared to be hurt..
One great love comes only once in a lifetime..
It may not last forever but it's the best you could ever find..

Real Love is..

..the look in someone's eyes that is meant for you alone..
a gentle kiss that says everything will be fine..
a hand held in just the right way at just the right time..
a secret told by one heart guarded by another..
a belief that someone knows you as no one else can..
the li'l day-to-day acts of thoughtfulness that go unmentioned but not unnoticed..
a feeling that no matter where you are, the deepest part of you remains with the one you love..
a dream that comes true with time + trust + a li'l luck..

Love is a promise of forever..

9 Hardest Times of Your Life

1. Being questioned when you yourself don't understand.
2. Pretending to be innocent of what you know about.
3. Trying to forget something you know you never will.
4. Admitting you were wrong after you have been so insistent that you were right.
5. Debating with yourself.
6. Accepting the fact that somethings are not meant to be.
7. Trying to understand when you just can't.
8. Realizing that you have been tricked after you've given your whole trust.
9. Parting and letting go of someone you've learned to love..

God loves me (and you)!

God is so crazy about me (and you)..

He sends me sunrise every morning,
flowers year round, rainbow after rain..
He owns the universe but prefers to live in my heart..

be sure(r)

When you're in love,
never put yourself on a situation
where you're not sure
where you stand in a persons life.

Never assume, never expect,
so that if they choose to drop you,
you have enough strength to move on..

Find Him!

Find someone who wants to kiss your lips everyday..
who lift and hug you when you're jealous..
who patiently keep silent when you're mad..
who fix your hair just to see your face..
and the one who wants to have lunch with you with his family..
the one who share his drinks with you..
who squeeze your hand together when you squeeze his..
and the one who'll want to cut work just to have a date with you..
find someone who plans and imagine his future with you seven years from now..

and when you find him..
NEVER LET HIM GO!!!

he was..

He used to be so sweet and everything seemed so nice when we're together.
But suddenly everything changed..

Now, do i miss him?
No...

I miss who I thought he was..

love.. in its real sense

Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person;
it is an attitude,
and orientation of character
which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole,
not towards one object of love..

do this

Pag nagmahal ka,
di baleng sabihin nilang martir ka..
Basta, ibigay mo lahat,
mahalin mo sya ng sobra..
para kung sakaling iwan ka nya, masasabi mong:

"Di ako nagkulang sa'yo, hindi ka lang nakuntento."

ano nga ba ang pagmamahal?

yun ba yung pinaiyak ka na, pinatawad mo pa?

yun bang binabalewala ka na, hinahanap mo pa?

yun bang nagmamahal na ng iba, minamahal mo pa?

o yun bang kinalimutan ka na, umaasa ka pa?

eto nga ba?!

Pa'no kaya kung wala ka?
Ano gagawin ko?

Maglalasing? . . . over!!

Magpapakamatay? . . . sobra!!

All i'll do is pumunta sa isang sulok,
iiyak at magdarasal..

"Lord, balik mo na sya..
di ko na kaya.."
;'(

soulmates

Do you believe in soulmates?

They say, there are two people constantly in search for one another
without them even knowing.
They just feel incomplete somehow.

Soulmates are meant to be together forever that's why they continuously search for each other,
against time and space..
Lucky are those who actually cross paths..

However, they just cross..
But who said they could actually be together?

fairytale

We used to think that life is a fairytale..
Full of magic, exciting, vivid!
But that was a long time ago..
Now we know that there's more to life than just "happily ever after.."

We've learned that we get wiser each day. And no fairy can lead us to happy ending..
And somehow we begin to understand..
That we have the power to make each day better than yesterday..

What Is Love?

Love isn't when you can't sleep,
It's when you want to keep your eyes open..

Love isn't when you keep holding on,
It's when you learn to let go..

Love isn't when you kill yourself with jealousy,
It's when you understand..

Love isn't when you fall for someone,
It's when you catch that person when he falls..

Love isn't when you see him everywhere,
It's when you close your eyes and he's still there..

Love isn't when you tell him what you feel,
It's when you give up everything for his sake..

And love isn't when you think you were blind,
It's when you know that you're wrong..

..but you just didn't mind..

i will

When things try to hurt you..
I'll be there to care.
I'll be around to soothe you.
I'll be with you through it all.

I'll hold and hug you while saying..

Promise, I won't let you bear the pain
alone.."

finish it, find another, love again

"You can't finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It's a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We loose someone we love only when we're destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves."

never forget

When I walk,
I always put markings on the way..

When I talk,
I make sure my words will not be forgotten..

When I fought,
I degrade my enemy and leave them lifeless..

When I love,
I bury myself to that feeling and never turn back.

But when I'm hurt,
I only smile..

A practical way of being human..
Although suffering..
still looking forward..
to a brighter day..

my strengths

I look at my friends then I look at me.

Without my hunnys, where would I be?

My friends..
my sisters..
my shadow..
my world..

Where would I be without my girls?

Tears..
giggles..
smiles and laughs..
late night calls..
and cute photographs..

I'll be there for you
till the day of my death..
Best girlies forever..
till my very last breath..

today's a new day

You messed up yesterday.
You said the wrong words,
..took the wrong turn,
..loved the wrong person,
..reacted the wrong way.

You spoke when you should have listened,
..walked when you should have waited,
..judged when you should have trusted,
..indulged when you should have resisted.

You messed up yesterday.
But you'll mess up more if you let yesterday's mistakes sabotage today's attitude.

Today's a new day, live it well.

friends means

Friends means..

..trusting yourself with someone who has seen you at your worst and loves you any way.
..teasing each other and laughing at inside jokes nobody but only the two of you understand.
..feeling safe enough to talk about anything ang having the patience to work out disagreements.
..counting on someone, someone who sympathizes when you had a bad day, worries about when gone too long.
..and always welcomes you with open arms.

which love story is yours?

Love is not always a fairytale..

There are people who give so much love to those who don't love them back.
There are some who feel so loved and find out in the end, they were fooled.
There are some whose into mutual love but can't call their partner as their own because someone already holds the title.
There are some who give so much love but the other won't believe because they always consider your pass.
There are some who receive so much love but can't seem to move on from the previous relationship.
Or others just want to play the game and choose their playmate.

Which story is yours?

desisyon ng pagkakataon

Makakabalik ka nga sa lugar..
..pero hindi sa panahon.

Makikita mo ulit ang taong minamahal mo..
..pero hindi na mauulit ang naramdaman ninyo noon.

Lahat ng nangyari noon..
..isa na lamang masayang gunita ngayon,
..isang bintana sa kahapon,
..na paminsan-minsan ay gusto mong masulyapang muli..

Sabay bulong sa sarili,
"Sana, pwedeng ibalik ang mga nangyari noon..
..para magawa kong tama ang mga maling desisyon ng pagkakataon.."

no commitment

When a man and a woman get a feelings with each other,
it doesn't necessarily mean that,
to preserve your intense feelings,
you need to have a formal relationship
as boyfriend and girlfriend.

While both of you are still busy with their personal life or in anything,
it's possible that you could make each other as an inspiration.

NO COMMITMENT.
Just a romantic bond.

Isn't it much sweeter and nicer when you both accomplished everything you want in life..

..and yet, you still end up..
..TOGETHER..

whatever happens, happens

Sometimes, we need to stop analyzing the past..
..stop planning for the future..
..stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel..
..stop deciding with our mind what we want our heart to feel..

Sometimes, we just have to go with:

"Whatever happens, happens.."

rubix cube

Ang puso..
..parang rubix cube..

May susubok buuin pero susuko rin..
May pipilit bumuo pero iiwan rin..

Pero may taong dadaan at aayusin..

..at pag nabuo na,
bigla ulit sisirain..

there's no such thing as forgetting

It's a lie to say you've let go of the past..
Nobody let go of memories..

Each tear is an unforgettable memory..
Each smile is an undeniable mark..
Each heartbreak is an uneraseable scar..

Because really, there's no such thing as forgetting..

..only acceptance..

Simple Lesson

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love:

They try to possess it, they demand, they expect..
And just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you.

For love is meant to be free. You cannot change its nature. If you love someone, allow him / her to be free.

GIVE and DON'T EXPECT.
ADVISE but DON'T ORDER.
ASK but NEVER DEMAND.

It may sound simple but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice..

compatibility

do you know what compatibility means?

derived from Latin words com and pati
com means together
pati means patient

patient, not the virtue
but a suffering ill person

put them together
and compatibility literally means

"to suffer together"..

still looking for someone compatible with you?

really sad

the hardest part
about walking away
from him..
is the part
that i have
to realize
that he'll
never..
ever..
run after me..

--bating

love v. pain

"I thought love can melt the pain no matter how painful it is..
But I was wrong..
Because now I know, pain can melt the love no matter how great love is.."

The Paradox of Life

Everybody wants to live a long life,
but nobody wants to get old..

Everybody wants to go to heaven,
but nobody wants to die..

A piece of advice:
Don't live life in a hurry. We must realize that in this journey called life, no one will ever reach the finish line alive..

just do it!

Do the one thing that you cannot do..
Fail at it..
Try again..
Do better the second time..

The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.

This is your moment..
Own it..

--Oprah Winfrey

good v. bad

No matter how good things are in your life,
there's always something bad that needs to be worked on..

and no matter how bad things are in your life,
there's always something good you can thank GOD for!

HIM

"You won't be his first, last or only..
He loved before and he'll love again..
He loves you now. What else matters?

He's not perfect, you're not either..
If he makes you laugh and admits to make mistakes..
Hold on to him and give the most you can..

He won't be thinking of you every moment,
but he'll give you a part of him..
he knows you can break, his heart..

Smile if he makes you happy..
let him know if he makes you mad..
and miss him when he's not around..

Remember, a perfect guy doesn't exist..
only a perfect love that he can give..

happy in-love

The real purpose of love
is not getting what we want
but unselfishly giving what we have

We do not put a price
on the love that we give
because we should give it unselfishly
without compensation..

we do not love someone
because of what he or she is
but because of what we are
when we are with that person..

Love should not just be about
receiving something in return,..
it should be about loving..
and just loving..
because it makes us happy..

i hate it (but love it, too!)

Know what?

--I hate to fall in love..

Know why?

-- 'coz every time i do so..
i cry..
i suffer..
i become weak..

one simple reason is that
because I don't just give "LOVE"

I also offer
my "LIFE"..

natural lang 'yon!

Life has its own pains..
failures..
and everything..

Natural lang 'yon..

It's God's way to teach us how to make one-step higher
after we fall..

Live Your Life

life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass..

it's learning to dance in the rain..singing in the car when you don't even know all the words..
giving your heart to someone even if you're a little scares at first..
taking risks in making life worth living..

'coz every minute you waste..
is a minute you'll never get back..

Road To Success

The road to success is not straight..

There's a curve called failure,
a loop called confusion,
speed bumps called friends,
red lights called enemies,
caution lights called family..

You will have flats called jobs.
But if you have a spare called determination,
an engine called perseverance,
insurance called faith..
and driver called GOD,

you will make it to a place called success..

Loving is the Happiest Thing Ever

Sometimes, others don't know why they are bothered to love, when they know for a fact that it'll always be the same story.

Chasing a heart that will never be for them only.
Begging for some affection that will never be given.
Sacrificing for a doubtful future.
And crying and fighting for a love that makes their life crazy..
Most difficult and most critical..

But still loving is the happiest thing ever..

Take It Slow

In life, you may feel tired of fighting for the same reason everyday. You may feel that everyone is moving so fast leaving you far behind and you may feel that there'e no point of moving on.

There's no certainty in life. It's not how fast you get there, it's on how you played the game.

Put in mind that at times it's better to be like a turtle who patiently moves and enjoys every step rather than a rabbit who runs so fats and missing every simple single detail in life.

Counting Sadness

One heartbreak.
Two eyes crying.
Three words never said again.
Four hands that won't be held.
Five mornings you'll pass him in the halls.
Six love notes ripped amd torn.
Seven days a week you'll think of him.
Eight sad songs at night before bed.
Nine wishes that never came true.
Ten years before he realizes that it has always been you.

Living Life

Somebody once told me..

"Be strong. Remember, not everything has a happy ending and endings don't mean stop. It's just a way of telling us that there's a new beginning ahead of us."

I should always be ready for the unpredicatble and expect the unexpected. it's easy to fall, hard to get up. But once I'm up and back on track, I will be a better person.

That's the way of life! I don't just live it, I learn from it!

Finding True Love

"If you are in a relationship for the simple reason of just wanting to have it and there's not an ounce of excitement nor a whisper of a thrill, you haven't found TRUE LOVE yet. You should get swept away, you should levitate, sing with rapture and dance like a dervish, be deliriously happy or at least leave yourself open to be.. Because LOVE is passion, an obsession - someone you can't live without. You should fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and will love you the same way back. But how do you find that person? Well, forget your head and start listening to your heart. Because the truth is, there's no sense living your life without this. If you make a journey without falling deeply in love, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, 'coz if you haven't tried, you haven't lived. Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike..."

unforgettable..

Everything you've done
will become
someone else's memory;

the person might forget
the exact words you said
but there's no way
to make them forget
the way you made them feel..

share it with others

The purpose of life is not to win..
but to grow and to share..

When you come to look back
on all that you've done in life,
you will get more satisfaction
from the pleasure you have brought
into other people's lives
than you will from the times
that you outdid them
and defeated them..

Nobody's Perfect

Do you know the reason behind why nobody's perfect?

It's because of love..

We are all destined to love an imperfect person..

Our mission is to fill each other's emptiness..

It's nice to know the fact that you love someone behind his / her imperfections..

Love bears with all things, no one can hinder..

and there is no perfect reason why you love a certain person..

That's love..

As the saying goes,..
"TO LOVE IS NOT BY FINDING A PERFECT PERSON.
BUT BY LEARNING TO SEE AN IMPERFECT PERSON PERFECTLY."

Present

In life, God has given us three time frames:

Yesterday is history..

Tomorrow is a mystery..; and

Today is a gift..

-- that's why it's called PRESENT!

i love it!

I love the sun,

for it warms my heart..

yet I also love the rain,

for it cleanses my spirit..

I love the light,

for it shows me the way..

yet I also love the darkness,

for it shows me the stars..

I welcome happiness,

for it enlarges my heart..

yet I will endure sadness,

for it opens my soul..

..moving on..

Moving on

is somewhat comparable

to having braces..

it might cause you

a lot of pain

but all of those

are worth the outcome...
