Girl v. Boy

We don't need a man..
We may want them for some reasons,
but we don't need them..

When we've got problems, to whom do we run first?
--to our girlfriends!

When we laugh, to whom do we want to share our stories?
--to our girlfriends!

So it's obvious,
with ot without a man,
we can survive!

Remember this:
--Man can fulfiil our weakness, it's true!
--But girlfriends fulfill strengths!!

moments

Give time to love..
Give time to speak..
And give time to share
the precious thoughts in your mind..

Life is not measured
by the number of breaths we take..
but by the moments
that take our breath away..

Happiness??

It is waking up in the middle of the night,
shifting blankets
and feeling the heat of the person next to you..

You turn around
and you see him in his most innocent state..
You smile,
kiss his face gently
so as not to wake him..

You turn around
and a grin forms on your face..

Then, you feel an arm wrapped around your waist,
and you know it doesn't get any better than this..

find your way

Those who appear in your life

- whether to help or to harm -

are all given by God.

Meet all of them with a peaceful heart,

but with a warrior's spirit.

You will fail many times,

but in falling you will learn,

and in learning,

you will find your way.

"A Perfect Stranger" -- Danielle Steel

People spend a lifetime looking for love,
wanting it, needing it, seeking it,
and most of the time they don't find it.

But once in a while, once in a great while,
it comes to you, it throws itself in your lap, pounds on your door,
and says, 'Here I am, take me, I'm yours.'

When it comes, how can you turn away from it?
How can you say, 'Not now, maybe later'?
How can you not take the chance,
knowing the opportunity may never come again?

it ain't your time

If you give up during the winter,
you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer,
fulfillment of your fall..

Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches,
and better times are sure to come at some time or later..

there goes my forever, there goes my life

"I was not aware that the came only to love me for a while..
I was aiming to be with him forever, but he's not willing to work it all out..
while I was busy planning for us, he was busy planning his life with another person..
It hurts too much, but all I can do is watch him walk away..

and that's the end of it...

There goes my forever..
There goes my life..

I know he's gone, but holding on to him has become my way to keep me alive.."

='(

take it, let it

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets..

So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason..

Know a good thing when you see it and don't let it slip away..

If you get a chance, take it.. If it changes your life, let it..

Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it..

know your way home

Just because you're already with someone, it doesn't give you the right not to fall for someone else.

It's just a matter of choosing who loves you more.

You can fall for everyone who treats you special.

Just make sure that at the end of the day, you know your way home to the one who treats you as his life..

not perfect - but real..

Being with someone doesn't guarantee happiness.
Finding your other half does.

It doesn't matter how long you've been alone, how long you've hoped, or how long you've waited.
There's no such thing as a perfect love story.
Hardships and heartaches will always be a part of loving.

But remember - though not perfect - if that love is meant for you, it will stick with you til the end.
No matter how tough it gets, no matter how long..
Far from perfect - but real..

Love and Relationship

There's always a possibility that a person can get attracted to another.
It's human nature.. It's not wrong..

But that's why you're in a commitment. You discipline yourself..
One may get attracted to numerous prospects and it's ok.
As long as you don't nurse the feeling and won't do something about it.

Borderline between cheating and faithfulness.
Recognize the reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get from the cheap thrills of attraction.

i'll never fall in love that way again

By some mischief of fate, we might only truly fall in love once.
You know, that one great love old folks refer to.

Many lovers get into our lives but there is only one person, with that smile, one kiss, one hug and one moment, that our hearts will never replace.

That person, usually but sadly, is the one that got away.
That's why, after all the chips are down, we know, we just know, we'll never fall in love that way again..

Life's Grand Rewards

Most of us miss out on life's big prizes..
The Pulitzer.
The Nobel.
Oscars.
Tonys.
Grammys.

But we are all eligible for life's small pleasures..
A pat on the back.
A hug.
A full moon.
A glorious sunset.
An empty parking space.
A great meal.
A good joke.
A good-hair-day.
A cold drink.
An ice cream.
A thank you.

So don't fret about missing life's grand rewards.
Enjoy its tiny delights.
There's plenty for all of us.

being single

There's nothing wrong with being single. It's nice to be free.

I can stay out late every night, I can wear whatever I want, I can just be my plain old self. The whole world sees that I can take care of myself.

But to tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind having someone walk me home. I wouldn't mind wanting to look good or trying to be better for someone. I wouldn't mind letting someone hold me when I'm just to weak to go on.

It's nice to be free, but I wouldn't mind being bound to someone who loves me.

The Best Gift

Life's a constant change.
Love's the greatest surprise.
Frienship's your best defense.
Maturity comes with responsibilities.
And death's just around the corner.

So expect little, assume nothing..
sometimes, be selfish, learn from your mistakes,
listen to your heart, take care of your friends,
treasure your family, achieve your goals,
cry because of laughter, laugh because of pain,
eat your pride and throw up all the angst in you.

And always remember that LIFE is the best gift 'coz not everyone get the chance to have it!

"Move On"

I've never understood the reasoning for someone to "move on".

It's not like you're really going to "move on"..
You're just trying to tell your heart to stop thinking about that person every second of every minute, every minute of every day til it finally becomes a routine and you don't notice it anymore.

That is, til you see that person again, with someone who isn't you, and then you have to remind yourslef again...

Smile.. Smile..

A Real Man

A real man is a man who honestly tries to live up to the best he knows.
A real man has the humility of Christ.
He is never proud, no matter how great he is.
A real man talks little, but does much. He is dependable.
A real man works honestly.
He hate get-rich-quickly schemes of crooked politicians and influence peddlers.
A real man never shows though he is more intelligent than other man.
He does not judge other people.
A real man loves his neighbors as he loves himself.
A real man is loyal to his friends.
He sticks to him for better or for worse, through thick and thin.
A real man is patient.
He endures what can not be helped.
A real man does not hurt a woman, he loves but once and faithfully.
A real man do cry.

A real man is well, he is the Paragon of Men..

realizations

As I grow old, my realizations about life become deeper.
problems get bigger..
situations become more complicated..
and things really get messed up..

Sometimes I wish I could go back,
back to the time when the only man in my life was my kuya,
my only bestfriend is my mom
and any pain could be heald by just a band-aid and a lollipop..

relationships

We can love someone and just be happy about it even if we know that it cannot last forever.

It is not about having someone. It is not about owning a relationship.

It is just about being happy because you know you have loved and you love someone.

There is a purpose and meaning behind all events, and this purpose and meaning develop you as a person. Whatever relationship you have in your life now, they are precisely the ones you need at this moment.

Enjoy it!

He Loves You

A guy who loves you can't actually state the reason why he does.

He knows you're the only thing that matters, next to his family.

A guy who loves you, worries a lot when he can't hear a word from you even after he just dropped you home, only because he cares.

A guy who loves you apologizes non-stop even if he knows you're wrong.

He just wants you to be happy.

A guy loves you, when he understands what's best from the both of you.

A guy truly loves you when after you hurt him, deep inside, he still hopes for a future with you!

I don't live to please them

It doesn't matter what other people think or say.
I don't live to please them.
What matters is I've made the most of what I have,
I had fun, I learned from what I've done,
and I've lived through it all despite the gossips and intrigues.

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

He is..

my self-inflicted pain..
a preposterous diversion..
a momentary bliss..
my blameworthy experience..
my poisonous religion..

He is.. my annoyance..
and yet..
He remains to be..
my only happiness..

i can be loved

I can't make someone love me forever.

All I can do is be someone who can be loved,

and the rest is up to the person to realize my worth..

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..

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

Rule # 2:

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..

laugh 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 beacuse 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 noone 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 enought 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 it's 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 ba ang pagmamahal?

yun ba yung pinaiyak ka na, pinatawad mo pa?

yun bang binabalewala ka ana, hinahanap mo pa?

yun bang nagmamhal na ng iba, minamahal ko 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..

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?

bating_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..

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,..

u will make it to a place called success..

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!

Let Us..

S- eize the moment
(Mark 10:46:47, Job 9:25, Psalm 90:12, Luke 9:62)

T- ame your fear
(Mark 10:48, Prov. 29:25, Jeremiah 29:11)

A- nnounce your faith
(Mark 10:51)

R- eceive GOD's grace
(Mark 10:52, Phil 4:13, Romans 4:16)

T- ake the next step
(Mark 10:46, Mark 10:52)

i love who?!

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...
