We've Got Tonight

I know it's late,I know you're weary 
I know your plans don't include me 
Still here we are, both of us lonely 
Longing for shelter from all that we see 
Why should we worry, no one will care 
Look at the stars so far away 

We've got tonight 
Who needs tomorrow? 
We've got tonight 
Why don't you stay? 

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely 
All of my hopes, fading away 
I've longed for love, like everyone else does 
I know I'll keep searching, even after today 

So that there it is 
We've got it all now 
And here we are 
What do you say?  

Come take my hand now 
We've got tonight 
Why don't you stay? 

One and Only

While I am out of words to write ... I just wanted to share this spot-on soulful song, which describes the very person who makes me smile everyday. salamat sa pagtatama ng lahat ng mga mali sa buhay ko...
 

MAHAL... THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME THIS MUCH ...

What makes you Stay

Live to LOVE!

My Valentine

The past few weeks were spent on completing the many requirements that I need to accomplish before graduation. My days became more hectic, tiring and exhausting... both in mind and body. Sometimes, I think, I don't need to exert much effort in doing all the tasks I can manage in the office because I need to do more things at home, like working on my articles, thesis, and caring for my son. But old habits don't help, I can't help it, I am thorough in everything I do.

Although the days are long and tiring, it's comforting to come home to a family that always have warm dinner waiting for me on the table. Simple things like preparing food for a weary soul like me easily warms and melts my heart. I so love my family for bearing with me through all these trying days of my life. I thank them for taking care of me and my son. Most especially, I am thankful to have found a home in my SON, who patiently waits for me, entertains me with his endless gab and joins me in my late dinners and snacks...until he falls asleep in my arms. Nothing can top the love and embrace that welcomes me home every night. I love you son...my forever valentine.

ONESELF

I believe that one’s healthiest relationship must be with himself. Learning to value your own values, freely love what you really love and embrace both your strengths and weaknesses are practices that can make anyone an able partner, an essence of a lasting and healthy relationship. Once a person manages this kind of relationship with himself, I believe that all his fears will be nonexistent and that whatever happens to the relationship he enters, he will have no regret because he will never come out of it broken…less hurt, less bitterness and less hassles. Ultimately, I believe this kind of personal relationship with oneself is the key to happiness. Happiness is never forced, it is shared and spread. To be happy in all facets of life, love, embrace and value one’s self first…the rest will just follow. Well this is but one random thought that crossed my mind this day. How about you?

Feminine Mystique

Life has put me through experiences that opened up my eyes on how complex the aspects of a woman’s life can be. One thing I have learned through all those years is that a woman often becomes a victim of her own passions. There are many facets to a woman’s life. No matter how she loved and was loved, she often falls into crossroads of choices, which may turn her life to ideal or worse.

Women are emotional creatures, although some may not show it, they are. As defined by their experiences, they are molded by their experiences, intellect and relations into the character that they became. Their caring nature often clashes with their convictions about how to lead their lives. While some seems to breathe success after standing long hours and compromising feminine duties in charging towards her pursuits, some may fall behind, happily caring for the family and love, which she believe to define the essence of her very existence. 

 The thing is, no woman has no story. A woman’s heart, a woman’s life is a deep well of mystery, which only a patient man can unravel, discover and embrace. 

Last Song Syndrome

A dear friend of mine shared me this song and well...it's nice...very nice actually.


One and Only You – Parokya ni Edgar

It took one look
And forever laid out in front of me
One smile and I died
Only to be revived by you

There i was
Thought i had everything figured out
Goes to show just how much i know
’bout the way life plays out…

Chorus:

I take one step away
but i find myself coming back to you
My one and only, one and only you…ooh…

Now i know

That i know not a thing at all
Except the fact that i am yours
And that you are mine

Ooh

They told me that this wouldn’t be easy
And no
I’m not one to complain…

(Chorus 2X)

YOU..

My Green Treat!!!

You just seem to get what I want. And for my birthday, you managed to be right on point, giving me the best gifts --- in my favorite color and in my favorite flavor. I hope everything will work out for you this time...  Crazy but it's amazing what happens when the skies clear out,, all conflicts settled and issues are mended. All is better now. Good luck to you! Stay away from crazies ahright? I will see you though...SOON!

XoXo

"while someone chose to break your heart, someone else is waiting to fix it. Don't be too hard on yourself, open up your heart to him. Give yourself the chance...give him the chance..."

Can't stop smiling

“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were.”

surprises surprises...hmmmm!

Sonnet 124

"If my dear love were but the child of state,
It might for Fortune's bastard be unfather'd
As subject to Time's love or to Time's hate,
Weeds among weeds, or flowers with flowers gather'd.
No, it was builded far from accident;
It suffers not in smiling pomp, nor falls
Under the blow of thralled discontent,
Whereto the inviting time our fashion calls:
It fears not policy, that heretic, 
Which works on leases of short-number'd hours,
But all alone stands hugely politic, 
That it nor grows with heat nor drowns with showers.
To this I witness call the fools of time,
Which die for goodness, who have lived for crime." --- Shakepeare


----> love doesn't come everyday. so when it finally comes knocking, take it, be open for it and grab hold of it...and then you see yourself making interesting and often foolish decisions in life.

Pride

A professor of mine mentioned that when the western culture screams “leave me alone”, the Filipino culture would say, “don’t leave me alone”. One distinct characteristic of Filipinos is always having companions in doing the most trivial tasks. A lady always needs someone to tag along with her pursuits, like the comfort room for instance. When buying a dress, she definitely needs the approval of her friends before deciding on which piece to take. On the other hand, men tend to court women through their friends. As the cliché goes, no Filipino men go into battle alone, they often use human shields…LOL!

After spending quality time alone, I realized that I didn't feel depressed, low or at loss at any thing. I was raised to be an independent woman who faces life’s challenges head-on, that means shopping alone, going to school alone, going to girl scout camping alone and more things I already forgot. Never was I in the habit of asking my friends to accompany me at doing something, unless we agree on doing something together, for practicality’s sake. Even when I treat my son on occasions, I am more comfortable going alone with only him and me, hand in hand. I was never the needy or clingy type, which is often misunderstood as cold or unfeeling or simply "suplada". It’s just that I am not in the habit of bothering people with my own business. Call it everything you want, but my going solo in most things that I do is my personal brand of pride...pride that whatever I have and whatever I will have, besides my family, that's all thanks to ME. Thanks honey for understanding that.

I stand by You

In the world of strangers, you will meet friendly and cold faces. with pure luck, you may find someone you can trust and trust you back. With chance, you will meet the person whom you can give your heart to, as you will be given his/hers back. Lucky and blessed are the people who find someone to love. In the world where millions of people exist, it's a wonder why we are fated to find one heart to match our own. One thought to battle with our own. One body to embrace life with. People may get tired of love and may choose to be done with it, but I believe that every love is worth a chance. No life is perfect...no Love is perfect...

So my LOVE, just reach out to my heart. Call my name and my heart will hear...let me wash away your fears. let me shelter you with my warmth. let me love you with all my heart. don't fear the future. you--me...it's everything that matters. I stand by you. I'm here for you.

Mornings Like This

I am glad to have welcomed this day with you. Thank you for being my comfort zone...for the longest time. My heart was fluttering like butterflies the entire time. I can't even remember the last time I felt anything close to that. I never thought I could feel something like that again. You brought out the bubbly, lively and giggly girl in me.You made me realize that there is more to my life, like you always did every time I needed a reality slap.

Our agreement will stay. But no matter what happens, my love for you my dear one will never change. Thank you for wiping off my tears, for listening to my pains and for loving me just the way I am. With that said, I can say we may be looking for more mornings like this, together, hand locked...together.

No Regrets

I don’t fear losing people in my life no matter how hard I have fought for them. I don’t fear losing everything when pursuing something I believe in. I don’t fear facing an army just to get to where my heart leads me. What I fear is a life of regret that I did not do all those things, and I am stuck in the middle of somewhere with someone that I don’t love, I don’t need and I don’t want.

The ghosts may lurk inside me, but that is all they will ever be, ghosts. They will never rule my life; they will never ruin my life. For a person who has suffered much, I believe that I will have my own time to meet all my heart’s desires. For now, I am working on my resilient heart, who never forgets to remind me that life is all about taking chances. And it is not about winning all the time. It is the courage to see and face where your truth lies. And that’s what ultimately gives my heart all the happiness and freedom I can get out of life.

I have learned to love, to be loved and to let go of that love…love in its true aspects...and the pain and joys that go with it is called life. 

Thank YOU for Loving ME

I don't know what you saw in me ...........    I might have dazzled you with my ............................

................................................WITS!

Thank you for coming into my Life

REPERCUSSIONS

It is easy to be hard-hearted and apathetic especially to the person who caused you shame, pain and despair. It is easy to find joy in the sufferings of the ones who have done you wrong when you are still writhing in anger and bitterness. It is easy for anyone to say sorry for the things they have done, but it is hard for them to admit that even though they are sorry, they wouldn’t have done otherwise…

To the WOMAN who is now seeking my forgiveness for tearing my family apart, it is easy to find words to ask for what you need but I would not give you the liberty of not going through the repercussions of your actions. But surprisingly, I did not find joy in your anguish, satisfaction in your confusions, remorse at your "manufactured" sufferings and pity for all the crap you now have. YOU are the one who have put yourself in your position. So what do I feel? … pure ELATION.

When all the passion is gone, all that is left is the shallowness and nothingness from where you have started. In your doubts, trust is gone into the wind and all that is left is a life agonizing and worrying about the things that could have, may have, probably have and will happen. Now this circumstance is more than what I could have hoped for. So much for punishments. So much for life. So much for L O V E that you so proudly used to ruin the relationship and family I had.

Now you tell me. Now that YOU get to taste your own dose of your medicine, HOW DOES IT FEEL?

Love: A Little Less Complicated

Many people complain about falling into complicated relationships. There are people who find it hard to know when a relationship starts and be surprised when it ends. Many are clueless on why their relationships seem to be perfect, yet they ended up hurt as they were bound to breakups.

With relationships, people share part of themselves to another person. To some, they give their everything, not SHARE, which is a bad sign I suppose. To some, their status remains complicated because they have committed themselves to a person who is still unsure of what he wants and whoever he really wants to be with. The complications of relationships can go endless, but here’s a piece of my mind.

“Know what you want and who you love and want in life before you share your life to someone else.” Because if you get into a relationship of “convenience”, which means settling to whoever and whatever was available when you needed someone, you might end up hurting that person because he/she would only be a “progression” tool towards getting into the real thing.

The thing is, you need to know yourself first. Because otherwise, how can you ever really love someone if you don’t even know what you want in life? Do that and you’ll be saved from all these troubles.

Know what you want. Know who you love. That way, you will be able to lead the life and lasting relationship that you sure want to spend your lifetime.

Thank You

"Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.

Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.

L o v e N e v e r F a i l s."


I thank the one person who taught me this important lesson about life. No matter how much you have hurt me, I can't explain why the hate easily goes away. Maybe because I still love you, but not the same way as when we were together. You taught me painfully, you taught me hard and you taught me well. For that, I am honestly thankful because without that, I will never get to become the person I am now. and I like ME now.

Once you love a person, you share your life with him. And when what you had was real, the love never goes away, it stays. Love changes people in so many ways. But though love hurts and easily harbors hate, love finds a way for forgiveness. It comes with hope that though it failed to bind us, I am capable of honestly hoping for your happiness. Because no matter how I try to erase you, you had your spot and it will always be your spot, that I realize now. But though love stays, it is never a guarantee for forever. People change and no matter how you control that, it happens.

Thank you for teaching me so much. I will carry on with my life remembering you as the brutal teacher I never had, the one person that really served me good no matter how this idea seems stupid or irrational. But that is life. If you did not do what you did to me, I will never realize that I am surrounded by these people who truly love me. That I am capable of being loved with no condition. I thank you for helping me find the way to a new love, that I might live by for all my years, for all my life...and of course, I hope I have left you with something to help you get through with your life.

My sincerest thanks to YOU.
