A Love Story

They'd known each other since school days and had since become the best of friends. They shared everything and anything and spent lots of time together in and after school. But... the friendship never developed into anything deeper. Diane kept a secret... her admiration and love for Jack. She had her reasons for keeping it a secret.

FEAR. Fear of rejection... fear that he might not feel the same... fear that he might not want to be his best friend anymore... fear of losing someone that she could always find comfort in. At least if she kept her feelings to herself she would still be able to spend time with him... and hopefully, he would be the one to tell her how he felt towards her. Time passed and soon... school was over. Jack and Diane went their separate ways. Jack continued his studies overseas while Diane got herself a job. They still kept in touch though... penned letters, sent each other photographs and mailed each other gifts.

Diane longed for Jack to be back. She decided that she would tell him her feelings once he got back. And then...out of the blue... the mails from Jack stopped coming. Diane wrote to him, but there was never a reply. Where was he? What happened? Lots of questions ran through her mind...

Two years passed and Diane was still hopeful that Jack would come back... or at least send her a note. And then her prayers were answered. One mid-August day, she received a note from Jack... it said:

"Diane, I have a surprise for you. I'm flying over. Meet me at the airport. My flight comes in at 4 p.m. on Saturday. I can't wait to see you again Diane! There's something I need to tell you something I've been keeping all this time... Love n Kisses Jack"

Diane's fingers shook as she read the note. Her heart soared. Diane was thrilled. Love and kisses... it meant a lot for a lady who had waited so long for those words. She was ecstatic. The day arrived, Diane waited anxiously for Jack. She had slipped into her best dress and did her best to look as pretty as she could. She looked around but Jack was nowhere in sight. She waited and waited, wondering what she would say to Jack when he got there, what their meeting would be like. Would there be love in his eyes? Would there be longing bred from years of separation and hiding each others' feelings? Oh how she longed to see him! How she longed to throw her arms around him and tell him she was a fool to ever let him go without ever telling him how she felt. She was certain Jack felt it too. There was always a certain magic about them when they were together.

Then... a lady in a sexy tight blue dress approached her. She had a very concerned look on her face, "Hi! I'm Lyn, a friend of Jack. Are you Diane?" she asked. Diane just nodded her head. "I'm afraid I... I have bad news for you.. Jack is not coming...he won't be coming back anymore," said the lady, placing a hand on Diane's shoulder. Diane shook her head in confusion. She felt her heart constrict. What could possibly have happened??? Diane felt an overwhelming fear inside her. Her hands turned cold. Her voice shook as she asked: "Where ---- where's Jack? What happened to him??? Please tell me..." Diane begged the lady... The lady looked intently at Diane... and then... she gave Diane a nudge on the shoulder and said...

"HOY GAGA...IT'S ME...JACK... JACKILYN NA KO NGAYON!!!!!! DI MO BA AKO
NAKILALA?!!! ANG GANDA KO NGAYON, DI BAAAAH?!!!!?

BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they
call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a
bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or
do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in
my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means
I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak
against it, I am defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for
myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I
act a little selfish. It
means I have the courage and strength to allow
myself to be who I truly am and won't become
anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I
want what I want and there is nothing wrong with
that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner
flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold
within me.You won't
succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace
the title and am proud to bear it.

B - Babe
I - In
T - Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

B = Beautiful
I = Intelligent
T = Talented
C = Charming
H = Hell of a Woman

B = Beautiful
I = Individual
T = That
C = Can
H = Handle anything

"If you can't do something right, get a woman to do
it."

Have a great day!!!

It's Your Mantra:
"I'm definitely a BITCH! :) "

This is the true meaning of what we all have been
called at least once in our lives.

What would you do?

WOULD YOU DO THIS TO A FRIEND?...
let's see..

You have this friend since elementary and after
college the both of you
never talk to each other or call each other
anymore. But she is someone
really special to you, and you're someone very
special to her too..
5 years later you receive a phone call from her...
"hi Michelle i'll visit you" she said
"hi, Leah, when?" you asked her
"just wait for me" she replied....
it seems weird but you prepared for her coming
anyways.
One rainy night you heard a knock on the door.
And you're surprised to see that it's your friend
Leah. Losing touch
for 5 yrs. is long so the both of you talked about
everything...
The both of you even went to your room upstairs.
Suddenly there's a brown-out. So the 2 of you
talked in candle light.
Then the phone rang.....
"i'll just get the phone downstairs" you said since
there's no phone upstairs.
"no, don't get it, we're in the middle of our girl talk"
she said "it might be important," you said "okay if
you say so,
but promise me you'll be back.."
she said. So you promised her a million times that
you'll be back.
Then you ran downstairs to answer the
phone... "hello," you said
"hi, is this Michelle?" the person in the other line
asked "yeah,"
you said wondering who is it "i called in behalf of
Leah's family, they had
a tragic accident and her parents are in the
hospital right now..."
he continued "and leah?" you asked forgetting that
leah's upstairs
"she died.." he said then he hanged up you slowly
put the phone
down and looked at the long stairs...

WUD U GO BACK? as you promised...

.... AKALA KOH!

Sa lahat ng pwedeng mahalin bakit kaya ikaw pa?
Ikaw na may mahal nang
iba... Nasasaktan lang ako eh. Pero di kita
masisisi. Siguro mahal lang
talaga kita. Ito lang tanong ko... Siya ba, mahal
ka niya?

Magulo talaga ang mundo. Kapag gusto ka, ayaw
mo. Kapag gusto mo, ayaw
naman sayo. Pero diba mas masakit kung mahal
mo, mahal ka... pero di
naging kayo??? *KABOOM*

Minsan badtrip magmahal. Iwasan mo, ikaw din
ang masasaktan. Sundan mo,
kaw din ang iiyak. Bigay mo lahat, kulang pa rin.
Nagpakatanga ka,
gagaguhin ka pa. Minsan hintay ka ng hintay, di
mo alam iniwan ka na
pala...

Happy ako kasi akala ko mahal mo ako... Kaw
kasi e, ang bait mo sa
akin... Nahulog tuloy ako sayo... Tapos sasabihin
mo lang... "Syempre
love kita, kaibigan kita eh."

Masakit maging kaibigan ng taong mahal mo,
hindi mo alam kung saan ka
lulugar. Di ka dapat umasa o di kaya mainis sa
kanya... Bakit? Anong
karapatan mo? "Kaibigan" ka lang naman diba?

Kumatok ka sa puso ko...
Pinatuloy kita...
Pero kinuha mo ang susi nito...
At umalis ka na lang bigla...
Tanong ko lang, "babalik ka pa ba?
Di na kasi mabuksan ng iba eh..."

May mga taong gago... May mga taong tanga...
Kapag nagmahal ka ng taong
ayaw sayo, gago ka. Kapag hindi mo alam na may
nagmamahal sayo, tanga
ka. Ako, alam ko gago ako, sana hindi ka tanga...

Kunwari, masaya ako... Kunwari, okay ako...
Kunwari, wala akong
problema... Kunwari, nasa langit ako... Okay lang
ba kung isipin kong
kunwari mahal mo rin ako? Kunwari lang naman
eh...

Bakit ganun? Kahit anong sakit naman, tiniis ko...
Kahit anong hirap,
kinaya ko... Kahit anong kasalanan mo, pinatawad
ko... Kahit sobra
sobra pagmamahal ko sayo... Bakit ganun? Iniwan
mo pa rin ako...

Sabi ko suko na ako... Sabi ko di na kita mahal...
Sabi ko malilimutan
rin kita... Sabi ko di na kita kailangan... Sabi ko
masaya na ako...
Sabi ko yun... Pero sana yun rin sabi ng puso ko...

Na feel mo na ba yung...
Akala mo forget mo na siya?
Wala na...
Tapos na lahat...
Tapos isang araw,
Nagkita kayo...
Ngumiti sayo...
Nasabi mo nalang,
"Mahal ko pa siya!"

Isang araw, parang mahal mo ako. Isang araw,
hindi mo ako pinapansin at
parang wala lang sayo. Isang araw sabi mo,
mahal mo ako. Sabay isang araw sabi mo, "Uy! Loko lang yun ah! "

Forever be your friend

What would YOU do?
What would you do if every time you fell in
love with someone you had
to say good-bye?

What would you do if every time you wanted
someone they would never be there?
What would you do if for every moment you
were truly happy there would
be 10 moments of sadness?
What would you do if your best friend died
tomorrow and you never got
to tell them how you felt?
So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to
you again in my life,
you are special to me and you have made a
difference in my life.
I look up to you, respect you, and truly
cherish you.

I'll Always Be There
In times of trouble,
In times of need,
If you are feeling SAD,
You can count on me.
I will give you a wink,
Until you smile,
give you a hug,
And stand by your side.
I'll be there for you till the end,
I'll always and forever, be your friend!

Don't you QUIT!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but
DON'T YOU QUIT!

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver lining of the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit...
It's when things seem worst that you
MUST NOT QUIT!!

Thoughts to ponder

It's better to
lose your pride with someone you love
rather than lose that someone you love with
your useless pride.

I can't choose who I'm gonna love, but I also
can't just love who chooses to
love me...and you can't blame me in
choosing to love you as much as I can't
blame you for not learning to love me.

"How can I say goodbye to someone I never
had? Why do tears fall for someone
who was never mine? Why is that I miss
someone I was never with and I ask why
I love someone who's love was never mine?"

It's hard for two people to love each other
when they live in two different
worlds...but when these two worlds collide
and become one, that's what you
call..............magic!

Don't love a person like a flower, because a
flower dies in season. Love
them like a river cause a river flows forever...

"Love may leave your heart like shattered
glass, but keep in mind that
there's someone who'll be willing to endure
the pain of picking up the pieces
so you could be whole again"

Reasons behing Love and Blindness

When Love met Madness

A long time ago, before the world was
created and humans set foot
on it for the first time, virtues and vices
wandered bored, not
knowing what to do. One day, they were
all gathered and bored more
than even when Ingenious had an
idea: "Why don't we play hide and
seek?" And all of them liked the idea, and
immediately the mad
Madness
shouted: "I want to count, I want to count".
And since no one else
was
crazy to seek for Madness, Madness
leaned on a tree and started to
count, 1, 2, 3. And as Madness counted,
the vices and virtues went
hiding.

Tenderness hung on the horn of the
moon; Treason in a pile of
garbage; Fondness curled up between
the clouds; Lie said he would
hide under a stone but he lied and hid at
the bottom of the lake;
Passion went to the center of the earth;
Avarice entered a sack that
he ended up breaking....

And Madness continued to count, 79,80,
81,82. All the vices and
virtues were already hidden by then,
except for Love, whom as
undecided as he is, did not know where
to hide. And this should
not surprise us because we all know how
difficult it is to hide Love.

And Madness was already at 95, 96,97.
And just at the moment when
she arrived at hundred, Love jumped into
a rosebush and there he hid
out. And Madness shouted "I'm coming!
I'm coming!" and as she
turned, the first one she saw was
Laziness, thrown to her feet
because he didn't have any energy to
hide.

Then she saw Tenderness in the horn of
the Moon,and Lie at the
bottom of the lake, and Passion in the
center of the earth...
Discovering them one by one, finding all
of them but one. Madness
was getting desperate, unable to find the
last missing one, until
Envy, envious for not having been
discovered, whispered to Madness:
"You are lacking Love, and he is hiding in
the rosebush."

And Madness took a wooden pitchfork,
and stabbed at the rosebush,
and stabbed and stabbed, till a
heartbreaking shout made her stop.

And, after the shout, Love came out
covering his face with his
hands, and from between his fingers run
two threads of blood, out of
his eyes.

Madness anxious to find Love had taken
out Love's eyes with the
pitchfork. "What have I done?, what have I
done? - she shouted. I
have left you blind! How can I repair it?"
And Love answered, you
can't restore my eyes. But if you want to
do something for me, you
could be my guide.

From that day on, Love is blind and is
always accompanied by
Madness.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

ATTITUDE isn't simply a state of mind...it is also a reflection of what we value.

Attitude is more than just saying "I can", it is BELIEVING you can.

It requires believing before seeing, because seeing is based on circumstances; believing is based on faith.

Attitude is so contagious, especially when we allow it to turn our doubts of the past into passions of today and set the stage for our tomorrows.

We have total ownership of our attitude. No one else has the power to alter our attitudes without our permission.

Our attitude allows us to become more empowering than money, to rise above our failures, and accept others for who they are and what they say. It is more important than giftedness, and is the forerunner of all skills needed for happiness and success.

Our attitudes can be used to build us up or put us down -- THE CHOICE IS OURS.

It also gives us the wisdom to know that we cannot change events of the past.

I AM CONVINCED THAT LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, AND 90% HOW I RESPOND TO IT...

And it is with this state of mind that I REMAIN IN CHARGE OF MY ATTITUDE.

~Rich Wilkins

What Love is all about?

If you're afraid to love a person because of
friendship, you have 2 choices,
either tell what you feel and let the love take
place of forever or hide the
feeling under a friendship full of pretensions.

Love can never be so beautiful without
friendship...one leads to another and
the process is irreversible...the best of lovers
is the greatest of
friends!!!

Love doesn't have to have a happy
ending, 'coz love doesn't have to end at
all.
When you love someone, don't expect that
person to love you back the same
amount. One of you will be ahead, the other
behind. It's either you catch up
or the other waits.

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot,
it may give you aches and
pains, but if you don't follow your heart, in the
end you will cry even more
for not giving love a chance.

True love hears what is not spoken, and
understands what is not explained,
for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the
mind, but in the heart...

When you love, you must not expect anything
in return, for if you do, you're
not loving but investing. If you love, you must
prepare to accept pain, for
if you expect happiness, you're not loving but
using...

Desiderata

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 the 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.

I want a GUY...

Have you ever?

Have you ever felt like you knew someone a long, long time ago? Another place, another time, a friendship of the souls? Two people who share a bond for reasons neither know, A feeling that they were friends, a long, long time ago? Did they stumble onto each other by pure circumstance,Or was it fate and destiny that played a certain hand? Two souls intertwined, they are worlds apart,But the soul, it knows no difference, in matters of the heart. Somehow they are drawn together, fate has brought them back,Each living worlds apart, they journey separate paths.When this life is over, and a new life begins,Their souls will find each other, two souls that we call friends.

Why do we love?

answers

kung y mo sya love...

kc lahat ng tao nagbabago but if u accept dat
person

magbago man sya in da middle of ur relationship

endi ka masasaktan kc u know dat darating din

mahirap gawin pero masarap subukan dahil

wala ng sasaya pa if u let one person feel na

MAHAL NA MAHAL mo sya without asking 4 any
return...

The SERENITY PRAYER

GOD

Grant me the SERENITY

To accept the things I cannot change

The COURAGE

To change the things I can

And the WISDOM to know the difference

Living ONE DAY AT A TIME;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace....

Amen

A Creed to Live by

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but, also where you are going.

Life is not a race, but, a journey to be savored each step of the way. ~~~~~~

Give me the Wind

I am at my best with the wind in my face,
When overcoming the challenge, with pace.
The pace that requires more effort, more strength.
But once gained momentum, endures with great length.

It's easy to sit back, placid and calm
Comfort is only a relative balm.
It seems an advantage, better than strife
But is dulled by stagnation, stifling life.

Progress needs movement, energy, drive,
No chance for improvement if you do not strive.
Nothing's for nothing: cause and effect.
That which you work for, you've more chance to get.

So give me the wind, let it blow in my face,
The more I confront, the more strength I'll embrace.
Steps are not mounted, nor challenge o'ercome.
Without certain courage or effort be done.

A FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Kung basted ka ng babaeng mahal mo..... drinking every night and bar hopping won't do you good, tska gastos lang yan. Lying in ur bed the whole night and rolling there like a lumpia won't help yah ease the pain. Dapat alam mo na ang gagawin.... PRAY. KAhit gano ka pa ka demonyo eh sa pagdarasal pa rin ang tuloy mo dude. Totoo un. FInd a time alone na one day, kausapin mo Siya na parang kabarkada mo lang cya.. talk to Him as if kausap mo ang pinaka close na tao sa buhay mo... He can touch the hardest hearts and the vainest minds. He did that to me and im sure magagawa din nya sa inyo un.

Sa mga iniwanan ng kanilang bf/gf eh wag na wag kayo manonood ng mga movies na may IWANAN na tema.. its like jumping into a quicksand... lalo nyo lang nilubog ang sarili nyo.. sa mga nagsesenti naman... o cge oks lang yan... kasi ako rin ganun e.. d ba nga ang music is the choir of your heart? kahit ga BALDE na ang luha mo kaiiyak sa tune ng One last Cry ni Brian mcKnight eh oks lang un... kahit in reality hindi. Try straightening ur goals, point of views, or beliefs. Ano ba tlga ang gusto mo mangyari sa buhay mo? Sa lablayp mo? Siya ba tlga ang mahal mo? Kung siya tlga at di ka nya mahal, is it necessary ba tlga na dapat maging kayo para sumaya ka? Unconditional ba tlga ang love mo for him? Eh bakit naghahanap ka ng kapalit na

pagmamahal? Bakit ka nasasaktan pag nalaman mong di ka pala mahal? Ano ba tlga ang definition mo ng loving someone? Bukal ba sa loob mo na masaya ka for her kahit hindi ikaw ang reason ng kanyang happiness? May umiibig bang hindi nabibi go? Pwede ka bang magmahal na hindi nasasaktan? ANong gusto mo, magmahal na masaktan, o hindi mahalin? You see, asking yourself these questions might straighten those curly love lashes of yours. DOnt think of ur inferiority, ung tipong kesyo pangit ka, may pimples ka, kulang ka sa height, kulang sa pera.... KAsi if the girl or guy dumped you dahil lang sa kakulangan mo sa pisikal na bagay, eh hindi tlga cya deserving na mahalin.. pramis. Ibang tao lang tlga ang bagay para sa kanila. Ikaw ba ung tipong tao na nakikita ang love in a black and white scale? Wel

ano ba tlga tong gray spots na to? Ung tipong people who tend to fall out of love... hindi sa nagsasawa pero bigla na lang nila nalalaman na hindi na pala nila mahal ung gf/bf nila.. there's nothing really wrong about it (sa isang side).. kasi ganun tlga... di naman din nya sinadya na mahalin ka eh.. eh malamang di rin nya sadya ang mawala ang love nya... tamang isipin natin na love is a feeling... but it is not a decision... the decision part comes only when it

sinadya na mahalin ka eh.. eh malamang di rin nya sadya ang mawala ang love nya... tamang isipin natin na love is a feeling... but it is not a decision... the decision part comes only when it concerns MAINTAINING the love... so as long as there's a feeling of love.. may decision kang i maintain un.... but un nga.. WHAT'S THE POINT OF MAINTAINING SOMETHING NA WALA NA TLGA? Eh kung wala nang love... eh wala na tlga. Kung tumagal man kayo, baka awa na lang ang nararamdaman niya to you. That's why it is important na ma clarify mo ang sarili mo sa mga ganitong gray spots....

Wala kang gelplen or boyplen....... SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? sa unang tingin nakakainggit.. kasi nga may ka holding hands sila.. may natatawagan para mag gudnyt at i love you at kung anong klaseng panlalambing.... pero kung tutuusin... may kanya kanyang advantage at disadvantage ang pagiging single. disadvantages nga ung nabanggit earlier in this paragraph. Ang advantage? You can take care of yourself, or pag nagaaral ka pa eh you can concentrate on ur thesis... Magagawa mo rin ang di mo magagawa pag meron kayong ka relasyon, tama ba ako? So dont tell me na hindi ka masaya dahil lang sa wala kang gf/bf.... ang dami pang single jan, and karamihan sa kanila eh masaya din sa buhay nila.. believe me.

Pero we should also take into consideration na masarap din ang feeeling ng naaalagaan.. at minmahal d b? Well... that's where appreciating what your friends do to you comes into play. Friends or peers will always be there.. ung mga ka barkada mong iniwan mo sa ere para lang dumamubs sa yong girl eh babalik at babalikan mo rin bandang huli.... although hindi tlga healty na sabihing " Haaay sakit lang sa ulo yang mga lalaki" or "Gastos lang ang alam ng mga babaeng yan".... we should be fair.... ganun tlga... some will win.. some will lose. There's no point getting lost in ur life... nakagawa man sila ng mali... sila na ang bahala dun.. they only gave you the opportunity to react... but not the specfic reaction. Kung nasktan man tyo, hindi na nila problema un,problema na natin un. PAg ikaw b

After a break up..... act and look better. Sa unang rinig eh parang ang hangin ng dating... but the fact is... kailangan mo tlga gawin to. Why? Imagine you just had a break up with ur gf or bf.. tpos magpapakaawa effect ka to her... papasuin mo ang sarili mo ng yosi or maglalasing every night or magpupuyat hanggat sa magkaron ka na ng eye bags...

tpos bigla ka nakita ng X mo... ano na lang ang sasabihn ng X mo? Kung balikan ka nun eh wag ka na rin matuwa kasi for sure malaki ang probablity nun eh naawa lang cya sayo. Stand tall and proud. HEllo?!?!??! Sino ba cya? As if mamamatay ka pag nawala cya, oo mahal mo cya.... pero kailangan naman mahalin mo rin ang saril mo, a man who can't love himself cannot trully love others.. look better not in a way na makakabingwit ka uli ng mga guys pero in a way na hindi ka tlga magmukhang talunan. ANd besides, pag nagkita kayo, make him/her tell to

him/her self... " Gosh!! Yan ba ung iniwanan ko? HOw can i let her slip away from m e?" O d b? Kasi kung mukha ka na tlga losyang o dugyot after ur break up eh baka lalo lang nya naisip na tama ang naging break up nyo. Explore ur world..... kahit mahal natin ang isang tao... we can't away from the fact na kailangan natin maging exposed... d b? It's like a butterfly in a bottle of mayonnaise.. di makawala... di makita ng ibang tao ang kanyang kakayahan at kagandahan.... and even worse baka mamatay pa un,d b?

Sa mga probs na ganyan... alcohol and cigarettes don't work. Harapin mo na agad ang reality na nangyayari ang mga ganung bagay na hindi natin gusto. PAgsubok lang yan... hindi pa yan kamatayan. Funny coz lagi na lang sinasabi satin na THe lord God won't give us problems na hndi natin masosolve... pero still parang nagbibingi-bingian pa rin tyo.... natatakot pa rin tyo...

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goal. Ano ba tlga ang goal mo? Ang magmahal o magkaron ng gf/bf? If you chose the latter, hindi ka tlga magiging happy.... Stop looking for love.. start being lovable. OPen ur heart to pain.. coz with pain comes happiness.... happiness na hindi kaagad nahahanap.. coz it slowly integrates from those little

things that you do for love. Wear a smiling face always.... but dont smile alone... baliw ang tawag dun. What i mean is people tend to get close to those whom they know na masaya and maganda ang mindset. Stop talking and thinking about failures and pain.... coz what you think would most likely attract you.

BUt as always, its easier said than done.... tulad ko... ang dali kong sabihin to kasi im not in a not-so-nice situation.. pero natutunan ko tong mga to from my experience na rin eh... hindi naman tlga madali... pero hindi rin tlaga mahirap. ITs all in the mind and the heart. Kahit ano

pang gawin sayo ng pag ibig..... always open ur heart.... dapat laging alive.... because you cannot love with a dead heart. Dont ever tell urself na ikaw ang pinakakawawang nilalang sa pagibig.... pano na lang ang mga taong namatayan.... mas masakit un d b? NAgkataon lang tlga na iba iba tyo ng problema....

NOTHING IS “TOO LATE”

I still CARE

I always wanted more from you than you were willing to give; So now we've gone our separate ways each with different lives to live. The bond will always be there the friendship always intact; But the time for us has come and gone and the pages of time, you can't turn back. I will always be a friend to you and wonder how you are; The smiles and laughter I will remember and our fights have become painless scars. Sometimes on those busy days when you've a thousand things to do; Please let me glide slowly through your mind and spend some time with you. In that quiet moment when you're surprised to find me there;

Just remember even with the distance between us I am still someone who cares.

Life is Opportunity

Life is opportunity!
Every day,
All seem it gray,
Can stimulate new thought.

Chance is not what rules the world
There's purpose everywhere,
It's just for us to recognize
The pearl that's waiting there.

The opportunity for us,
To learn and serve and grow.
The harder that the 'problem' seems
The higher we can go.

What is ours will come to us,
So fear becomes inept.
Just find the gift in everything
And we'll become adept.

A Sad Story

My childhood has obviously been very influential on my now teen years. Although I loved the care-free times of being a youngster, I am mostly glad that those years are over.
Although I had many friends and a pool to swim in during the hot summer days, I wouldn't want to go back to those times. My parents fought all of the time. I remember sticking my head through the railing on the stairs and seeing dishes and other objects fly across the kitchen. usually ran and hid, but one time I went under my parents bed and the argument just moved there. They yelled about wanting a divorce and, each the thought that my brother and I would live with them. They finally were separated when I was in third grade. The divorce was painful and long, it lasted four years. By the end there was no chance for a possible healthy friendship.
This made it hard for my brother and I because my father was never around when I was a child, and now we were forced to go spend every other weekend with a complete stranger. I would always hide and beg my mother to say that I had run away.
When I was with my mother, she spoke horribly about my dad. She wanted my brother and I to be on her side. It was
the same with my dad. They simply couldn’t and still can’t speak civil about each other.
My father never remarried, but my Mother met a man that I don't get along with in anyway. I have always fought with my stepfather, not because I felt like my mom was trying to replace my real father. We just don't understand each other, I Suppose. When I turned sixteen, I decided to move out of my mothers house because things had gotten so bad with her husband and I thought about killing myself everyday, I had to get out of there. This decision threw me into two years of court dates, testifying against one or the other parent. I then began to hate my parents for what they were making me do. They constantly put me in the middle. Saying if you live with me I'll give you this or, "your father is a drunk" and "'your mother is crazy."
I used to have memories of the great presents that I would receive on Christmas when I was little and being able to see all of the family, not to mention the great food. But over the last two years, I am sad when I think of this festive holiday. When I was a junior in high school I couldn't see my family on Christmas because I wasn't allowed at my mothers. Instead I "celebrated" with a friend’s family. Last year, my mother invited me to her house for Christmas Eve. I had been in Florida so I called her as
soon as I got home. She told me she didn't want me to dome that day or ever, I couldn't be her daughter as long as I lived with my father, I Spent another holiday with my friends and their families. So I am not sure what exactly to expect this year. Given this demand though, I did decide to give my mother’s house another chance, I figured I only had a few months left and that hopefully things there would be different.
When I moved back in things were all right at first. Things soon started to go right back to the way they were years before. My stepfather would get angry and get rough with me. Sometimes he thought he was just being funny that it was a big joke, but I was in pain. He is a large man and I am just a young girl. I decided to stand up for myself and said that the abuse had to stop otherwise I would just leave again and never come back. After awhile of arguing this, my stepfather just didn't talk to me anymore. We haven't spoken in almost a year, we when lived the same house.
In a way these problems have made me a much stronger person. I want to achieve things on my own; I don't feel as though I can count on my parents for anything. I am a very independent person, I am paying for school myself because they both refuse to pay if the other is not and don't want
to come to any compromise. I don't believe in lying and refuse to do it, lies simply hurt and the truth always comes out, therefore one should always -be honest to begin with.
There are downfalls to this though, I now feel that I cannot trust anyone and so I don't. I do not open up to my friends or anyone else. The only person that I can talk to is my brother because he was there and knows what it was like. Even he does not know me well, no one does, because I have kept secret, 1
from him too. He knows nothing of the things I do when he isn't around and, my hard-core party lifestyle and the problems I have had with drug addiction, including various narcotics. it makes me very upset that I can't share everything with him, because he is my best friend. Everyone in my life sees me in a different way because I only give them limited information about myself.
I am not a very emotional person, actually I hardly ever let on to what I am feeling anymore. It was very hard for me to share this story with you, but anything else would have been a false portrayal. When I was younger I used to cry all of the time, but when I was about twelve I decided that crying had no point, I just wouldn't do it anymore. I am suffering from this now because I have trouble expressing myself. In extreme situations I feel cold and dead inside because I don't cry or have any feelings. As well, I have had other hardships dealing with my parents. I have decided
I am not going to have kids because, I am unsure that I would be able to raise them properly. This makes me very sad, but 1 would never want my Children to go through what I had to.
