LOVE..LOVE.. LOVE…

LOVE..LOVE.. LOVE…


I’ve heard lots of stories ‘bout LOVE.

Some may say its heaven.

….it’s like Hell…

Or it’s like heaven and earth…


Why can’t we just love and be happy? Why do we need to do a lot of sacrifices, take a lot of risks just for the ones we love? Why do we get hurt? And why does some falls in love but in the long run falls out of love.


These are just some of the questions that everyone wanted to know.


Then, it made me think and wonder.


It made me realize a lot of things that when we love, it takes a lot of effort to keep it. We need to work hard for the love to keep burning and exciting. Patience, trust, loyalty, faith, understanding, etc. Everything we can do all for the sake of LOVE.


When we fall in love with someone, it doesn’t mean that we’d be happy for the rest of our lives. It has to undergo struggles, pains and misunderstandings. The more we love, the more we get hurt. But holding on to the one you love and who love’s you back is the best way to fight all these inevitable and uncertain events in your lives.


These are the only facts that I know about LOVE.

A Soldier Is A Gift

A Soldier Is A Gift
By: Joanna Fuchs

As we celebrate Christmas, and we open our gifts,
we realize what priceless gifts a soldier gives to our country—
the gifts of patriotism, service, and deep dedication to our nation.

As we feast on a variety of fine Christmas delicacies,
we acknowledge that a soldier personifies a variety of fine qualities:
courage, good character, honor, fortitude amidst hardship,
persistence in subduing evil, and bravery in the face of danger.

A soldier is a cut above the rest of us,
doing jobs we could not or would not do.
While we are surrounded by Christmas comforts,
we remember soldiers in places we would not want to be,
bringing the gift of adaptability to any situation,
no matter how harsh or difficult.

As we "ooh" and "aah" over the Christmas lights and shiny ornaments
we recognize that a soldier gives us the most cherished gift of all,
the shining light of freedom.


At Christmas, let us wrap our hearts and minds
around our treasured soldiers.
May they understand how very much their service means to us.
Let us send the Christmas gifts of love, respect and admiration
to our steadfast, loyal, magnificent warriors
and their essential civilian support staff.


They themselves are the most precious Christmas gift of all,
our protectors—our soldiers.

Quality Time With My Sisters....

Quality Time With My Sisters!



We had a nice chat with my two younger sisters. It has been quite sometime since our last chat together. Well, it feels great to spend quality time with them... MY Mom seemed very happy... She had been so anxious to talk with them again... , her wish was granted.


We talked like old days. Shared secrets, sighs, and laughs..Tease each other sometimes. Yeah, we were just laughing all the time... Sometimes, we do exchange naughty thoughts like real adults.... Laugh at it.. had some fun... Oh, that's how girls are sometimes. The best thing is that, everybody is happy.


I can always be myself with them... Though, I feel hesitant at times to share some of my sentiments, but they always make me feel good and I can just trust them that much... They are my sisters, my mom and they are also my bestfriends.


In this world, its soo hard to find good sisters, who could laugh, cry and be with you always... It may not be physically but in spite of the distance you can still feel the warmth of their love. I know, before, we have some misunderstandings in the past, but that was just a part of growing up... Now we're adults, we just know how to understand each other completely.


It was hard at first, to be separated from them, coz since birth, we've always been inseparable. Mom unfailingly brought us everywhere she go. Thats why, the feeling of being apart from them was soo new to us, but we're able to apprehend that it's what reality brings, that in time, everybody will surely undergo this kind of change, everyone has to have their own family.


I know that seeing my sisters happy, is what Mom always wanted... And I am sooo glad that they are just completely happy and contented with their lives. Love you sisters.. and We're Missing You here much.... mwahhh...

How Do I Love Thee?

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning


How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

“Why is LOVING sometimes so Confusing yet So Exciting”

“Why is LOVING sometimes so Confusing yet So Exciting”

Love as defined, is being kept up all night because you cannot think of anything but your hearts desire...Love is one touch leaving you breathless..


So why love so confusing?

First, we love someone who can’t love us back. Why? It might be because they are in love with someone else or they can’t just equal the love you have for them.

Second, someone loves us, but we can’t. This is quite hard; we can’t just force ourselves to love someone who is available for us. This is because, we need someone whom our heart really feels.

Third, some have mutual feelings but are just afraid to show it. Why? Might be afraid of rejections, nor afraid to love all over again. Some of our past experiences did a great change into our lives. And due to this, we are afraid to entrust again our heart to someone thinking they might again break it.



Now, what makes it exciting?

People in love can’t just hide the excitement they have every time they’re with their partners.

It gives us; these very extraordinary feelings that only in love persons knew and understand.

It made our hearts skips a bit, that’s the heart’s beat of love.

Daydreaming of our special someone. We think of things that can only be reached through our wild imaginations. We do things we didn’t usually do.

We feel jealous when we saw them talking with someone else in the opposite who is unknown to us.


These are just some of the facts I know. I hope you enjoyed reading.


But the best thing in LOVE is that, we've learned so much from it.

Fall in Love and You will know. **Wink**


‘Til next time.

Desiderata

Desiderata
by Max Ehrman


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Life's Quest.......

Everyday is a new day. A new beginning as they may say, but we never know what’s going to happen next. It might bring us joy or sorrow... Nobody knows. It’s just that we need to stay ready, for different possibilities.


When I was a kid, I always thought of simple things… like possessing nice dolls, new toys, etc. Being with my family and playing with my sisters, brings so much joy to me. But as we grow older, we began to see the reality of life. Everything isn’t easy--watching my parents strived hard for our future. And the hardships we’ve gone through, seems like a nightmare to us. But then, we’re able to cope with that… everything went well.


Life is full of challenges. That we couldn’t really tell what's going to happen next. One incident happened. It was beyond expectation. I couldn’t believe at first. But the truth always comes out. Again, our family is in crisis. And still coping until now… Our family used to be the model family, the ideal one. But everything changed, since the day we’ve discovered a hurtful thing done by our beloved. The most painful thing that crushed everyone’s heart in the family, especially my Mom’s. I know, she’s still coping, I can feel her pain and struggles, though I tend to ignore it sometimes.


We’re still trying to figure out what’s best thing to do. What we do and not do... But whatever my Mom will come up with, we’ll all support her. I know that sometimes, it’s so easy to say and utter advices. But when you’re in that situation, it’s quite hard to think, because there are a lot of things to consider.

A Lifetime Adventure....

A Lifetime Adventure....




HHmm.. What should I say?!

Past.. Past... An irrevocable past...

Oh!! A lot of good memories to cherish.

And some, I just wanted to completely forget.


Let me first share the good ones... The best thing for me is my wonderful family. Because they’re my source of strength, my life, my inspiration and everything. They never cease to be there for me when I’m in deep awe. Okey, enough for too much drama…haha


The greatest adventure of my life was when my Sister and her hubby came home last May 2007. We went to Bohol, we explore the beauty that lies within that place. For the first time, I saw the great and perfect shape of Chocolate Hills, though it was a torture going up, it was worth the sweat… I was mesmerized by the loveliness of the butterfly garden. Finally, seen the smallest monkey called Tarsier.
Their breathtaking beaches are just awesome.


Then, we went to Cebu. It was my second time to visit my birthplace. It’s like a home I’ve never been. All we did was eat, shop, and go bowling. Oh, how can I forget the Hill Top/Top Hill Escapade?!! While on our way to the TOP the taxi can’t seem to go on. It overheated. So we had to walk for more or less than 1 kilometer. We were catching our breath when we reach the top. My impression when I saw the place, well, not bad… Actually, it’s a romantic place and only people in love can appreciate the beauty of it…



That’s all for today.. Hope you enjoy….


LIVE… LOVE… and LAUGH!!

Take a leap in the dark....

We often fall inlove but eventually get hurt in the end.. That's why sometimes we became more cautious and careful, afraid to love again... We set a few guidelines or we just simply detach ourselves or keep distant from others. Close our doors and just let the chances pass...


I have this friend of mine who has been deeply hurt before, just like me... We think the same thing and it seems we are scared to let ourselves drawn into this thing called love again... Reading her message for us made me ponder, what if that person is the right one or her Mr. Right? Can she afford to lose him without giving it a try?


But on the contrary, there's a part of me, telling me, what if she'd get hurt again?? What if the love will fail again? Could she still take the pain? Isn't it too frightening to fall again?! There's a lot that you need to consider.. You need to have a clear thinking and most of all you need to think about it not just a thousand times but a MILLION TIMES...


Here's my piece... getting hurt is always a part of life and loving someone.. We should not let these chances passby.. Its quite hard to find someone real and true to you... "Someone who will hold you at your weakest, who will see you at your ugliest, who'd kiss you in both instances, and someone who will love you at your worst."


If you won't take a leap in the dark then you will never see the light... :) Don't dare Miss the chance girl.. grab it...

I am Missing You!

Across the miles, I am missing you so much. I know there's a reason behind why we need to be apart at this point of time. Your face is painted in my head. Your smile gives me enough courage to hold on. The spark in your eyes when had that first glance to each other makes me strong each day.

Now that we are miles away, all those great memories is what keeps me going. Just thinking of your smile, and the way you look at me, makes my day brighter. I know in my heart that we will be able to see each other again and this time it's for keeps.

I am missing you dearly.

Pacman beats the Golden Boy!

The Pride of Philippines Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao has won the ultimate battle known as the DREAM MATCH with Oscar "GoldenBoy" Dela Hoya.

Pacman was too fast, too strong, too accurate, and forced Dela Hoya to quit on his stool at his trainers request after the 8th round.

Filipinos were re-united again during the fight. Everyone has been waiting for this ultimate boxing Match. And that makes me Proud as a Filipino.

CONGRATULATIONS MANNY "PAC-MAN" PACQUIAO.

Marky Cielo's Death

Marky Cielo's Death

That guy is the reason why I felt so devastated today.. I could never imagine that at his early age at 20 he is already gone. Yes, Marky Cielo died just this morning December 07, 2008. He's the Ultimate Starstruck Survivor Batch 3 and the current Youth Ambassador.

My heart aches for your departure. It was so sudden and shocking. That until now, I am still in the state of denial. Hoping that this is just a dream, that when I wake up tomorrow, I would still see him alive and will hear a lot from him.

Yes, I am one of his big fan. I might not have shown to everyone how much I idolized him, but this I am sure of, he's one of my favorites. I admire his dedication to his work, and for being a good model to the youth and a very loving son to his parents and a loving sibling.

God has His own reasons. I know that in my heart, you'll always stay forever.

May You Rest in Peace! GoodBye Marky!
