.:: handa ka na ba??? ::.
wala na naman ako magawa...
naisipan ko na lang magbasa ng mga post sa pinoyexchange at sang forum pa ba naman ako mapapadpad... natural sa Love, Courship and Marriage (Dilemmas)...hehehe
and one thread that got my attention was this one entitled "Barely a year married ... and now getting an annulment!" (basahin nyo na lang din kasi ang haba ng story eh...)
so i open the thread and read the whole story and all the comments given by the other pexer...
then after reading it ang dami na namang tanong nabuo sa isip ko... (kasi naman... pwede naman hindi na pag-isipan eh... hehehe)
month of June na naman... month kung san marami ang nagpapakasal...
ano ba talaga ang basehan na handa na or dapat ng magpakasal ang dalawang tao???
nakakalungkot kasi isipin na sa panahon ngayon parang simple na lang sa mga nagpapakasal ang maghiwalay kung meron man sila hindi kagad napagkasunduan... minsan hindi man lang nila naiisip na may mga maapektuhan sila sa desisyong gagawin nila... ang point ko naman kasi dapat sa simula pa lang alam na nila ang weakness ng isa't isa at handa silang tanggapin ang lahat ng yun at hindi kung kelan kasal na sila saka nila sasabihin na hindi sila magkasundo kaya kailangan na nila maghiwalay...
haaaaayyyy... anong klaseng "reasoning" ba yun?
hindi naman sa hinuhusgahan ko sila kaya lang parang nawawala na kasi ang respeto sa MARRIAGE... na sa oras na maisipan nila na gusto na nila magpakasal eh go na kagad... andyan na gagastos ng malaki, mag-iinvite ng mga kamag-anak at kaibigan na magiging saksi sa isang pangakong pareho nilang bibitawan sa isa't isa...
"till death do us part" pa nga di ba??? pero andyan pareho pa silang malakas pero they're willing and do everything to be apart from each other na kagad...
bigla ko tuloy naalala yung conversation namin ng friend ko about sa "renewable marriage"... hehehe... he insist kasi na dapat ang marriage daw nire-renew na lang ang licensed every after 6mos... yun bang kung feel pa ng mag-asawa ang isa't isa after 6mos of being together then they have to file for a renewal of their marriage license at patuloy pa rin ang pagsasama nila... actually, alam ko naman for story purpose lang yung idea nya na yun kaya hindi na lang ako nakipagtalo sa kanya...
okei, balik na lang tayo sa topic ko...
if i were to answer that question "ano ba talaga ang basehan na handa na or dapat ng magpakasal ang dalawang tao???" isa lang ang magiging sagot ko eh...
if both of us (me & my special someone) felt that we really want to GROW OLD HAVING EACH OTHER then i guess it's the right time na we get married...
it doesn't matter how long it will take us...
yun bang tipong kahit puro wrinkles at white hair na kami parehong dalawa... it really doesn't matter...
kung LOVE kasi ang pagbabasehan ko i don't think it's really possible kasi di ba sabi nga nothing is constant in this world except for CHANGE... at totoo naman na ngayon pwedeng nagmamahalan kayo pero bukas or sa susunod na bukas wala na yung LOVE...
cguro kung yung LOVE samahan ng RESPECT possible pa... kasi if BOTH OF THEM (take note ha... dapat pareho silang meron) have respect for each other... hindi nila hahayaang basta-basta na lang mabalewala ang kung anumang meron sila...
next is FRIENDSHIP... i do believe in the saying that "FRIENDSHIP is the BEST FOUNDATION of any relationship..." one thing na hindi ko talaga nakakalimutan is when my tita told me that even happily married couple, they do fall out of LOVE... but because they're FRIENDS... and they RESPECT each other... never darating yung point of separation...
When someone i really love from the past told me the words "HINDI IKAW YUNG GIRL NA GUSTO KO MAKASAMA FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!" it really makes me feel bad and hurt... but then as time goes by... it made me realized that maybe what he felt for me that time was only LOVE... or maybe i really wasn't the GIRL he want to spend his life with...hahaha
LOVE... kahit sobrang dami ng meaning nya... sa sobrang ironic nya... at kahit na sobrang mysterious pa... ang LOVE nawawala pa din yan kasi...
LOVE is just a feeling...
it's WHAT WE DID that really MATTERS...
so ikaw kung nasa isang relationship ka ngayon... eto ang tanong ko sayo???
"HANDA KA BANG MAKASAMA ANG TAONG MINAMAHAL MO NGAYON KAHIT DUMATING ANG PANAHON NA PAREHO NA LANG KAYONG UUPO SA ROCKING CHAIR NG MAGKAHAWAK ANG INYONG MGA KAMAY HABANG HINIHINTAY ANG MULING PAGSIKAT AT PAGLUBOG NG ARAW???"

.:: handa ka na ba??? ::.
she used to be someone i hate...
someone i never wanted to talk to at times when i really don't understand her...
i can still remember the time when i found out that she's pregnant again...
it really disappoint me... i guess it's a simple jealousy...
the time she delivers the baby, i wasn't in her side...
even visiting her in the hospital never came to my mind...
i know how sad she is that time but it didn't bothers me...
what i know is that i don't like to have a brother...
but that was 15 years ago...
a year ago... i came into her...
brokenhearted and hurt...
i was crying then when she asked me what's the problem...
i told her everything...
i even asked her why it happened to me...
with tears in her eyes, she hugged me...
telling me that everything will be alright...
every night that i cannot sleep and all i can do was cry...
she was there... talking to me...
praying for me... to end that misery...
from then i felt that i am not all alone...
now i am truly thankful...
that i have her in my life...
that no matter how i've hurt her in the past...
she always forgives me...
always there for me...
ready to lend her shoulder's for me...
it made me realized that the one i used to hate was THE ONE who can really understands me...
and who is she???
she's my mom...

today is her day...
and i just want to give her this page... a simple page that shows how much i really love her...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM...
LAV YAH!!!

Saturday, June 18, 2005
sa loob ng 3 mos lumipas alam ko malaki na ang improvement ko... sabi ko nga sa sarili ko palagi... "i'm over you na..." tulad pa din ng palagi ko ginagawa ko, i marked my calendar kung gaano na katagal ako walang naririnig about you... i even tried not to ask our friends about you... bakit? kasi it's part of the moving on process...
till one day i received an email from you... nagulat ako... ilang ulit ko tiningnan kung tama ba ang nakikita ko na ikaw ang sender ng mail na na-recv ko... honestly, i felt like my heart has fell again that time i read your mail... i never it expected kasi... i really wanted to respond to that email but then naisip ko wag na lang kasi it's still part of the moving on process... and you even asked me not to mention anything about it in my bloggie... (kaya i am sorry for this...)
pero nakalimutan ko na ulit ang tungkol sa email mo...
kaya lang ewan ko ba bakit may mga bagay na hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ng pagkakataon... may problema PC ko... ayoko lamunin ang PRIDE ko para humingi ng tulong sayo kasi i know i promised you na i will never bother you again after the last night we talked... and marami naman ako pwedeng hingan ng tulong aside from you...
till one night i decided na text you... i know i am not yet ready to see you again 'coz i'm still in that moving on process... at since wala ako maisip na paraan sinabi ko na lang sayo na hindi naman tayo magkikita... though hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging sagot mo or kung babalewalain mo lang din ako... wala ako natanggap na sagot mula sayo... so i expected na hindi na talaga pwede...
then the next morning... nagulat na naman ako...
nag-pop ang message mo sa PC ko... hindi ko alam kung sasagutin ko or hindi pero kelan ba naman kita natiis... syempre sinagot ko ang message mo... pagkatapos nun namalayan ko na lang na magkausap na tayo sa telepono...
hindi ko alam kung nananaginip ba ako ng mga oras na yun... pero hindi eh... totoo... ikaw ang nasa kabilang linya... habang nagkukumustahan tayong dalawa at patuloy pa rin tayong nagpapalitan ng chat message hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko...
gusto ko na maramdaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw na-miss pero nakikipagtalo na naman ang isip ko... pero kung talagang kilala mo ako... mararamdaman mo ang nais ko ipahiwatig ng mga oras na yun... madami din tayong napag-usapan... tungkol sa buhay mo... sa buhay ko... hindi mo lang alam kung gaano ako kasaya nung sinabi mo na "how much you miss to hear my voice", "how much you miss to hear me laugh", and that "YOU MISS ME!"
i don't know how our conversation has ended... sa sobrang saya ko ng mga oras na yun nakalimutan ko ang totoong dahilan kung bakit ka napatawag... cguro kasi masyado pa ako nalunod sa lahat ng sinabi mo... naglalakbay pa ang diwa ko habang ninanamnam ko ang lahat ng matatamis na salitang binitiwan mo... "I MISS YOU TOO!", yun din ang sabi ko sayo... hindi ako nag-alinlangan na sabihin dahil alam kong yun ang totoo...
ilang araw ang lumipas...
muli isang araw nag-ring ang telepono... syempre sinagot ko... at nagulat na lang ako ikaw na naman ang asa kabilang linya... ano pa ba ang sasabihin ko... ayoko ko pangunahan ng kaba kasi baka mahalata mo... sinabi ko na lang na siguro wala kang ginagawa kaya napatawag... part na din yun ng pag-convince sa sarili ko na ano nga ba ang dahilan mo at tatawagan mo ako... bukod sa isang pabor na hinihingi ko sayo na nung mga oras na yun hindi ko alam kung mapapgbibigyan mo...
hindi ko na naman napansin kung paano tayo nagtapos sa pag-uusap... pero hindi lang isang beses tayo nag-usap ng araw na yun... at naalala ko yun na nga pala ang araw na posibleng magkita na tayong dalawa ulit... alam ko na maglahalong kaba at saya ang nararamdaman ko ng mga oras na yun... pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan ang makaramdam ng inis sa sarili ko kung bakit ko muling hinahayaan na mangyari ang bagay na ito...
palapit ng palapit ang ang oras... magkikita na tayo ulit... hindi ko alam kung paano ako kikilos na hindi mo mamamalayan ang totoong nararamdaman ko sa mga oras na yun... ayokong muling balikan ang nakaraan... kung muli man tayong magkikita isa lang ang gusto ko mangyari... ang muling ibalik ang friedship nating dalawa... ang muling makasama ang isang tao na minsang naging bahagi ng buhay ko...
subalit... subalit... subalit...
nangyari na naman ang isang bagay na kinatatakutan ko... malakas ang ulan na tila ba tutol sa nangyayari ng mga oras na yun sapagkat kahit na anong rason pa ang ilagay ko sa isipan ko alam ko pa rin mali... pero sa kabila ng lahat... tulad ng mga gabing lumipas wala pa rin akong pinagsisihan... lahat ng nararamdam ko sa mga oras na yun totoo... pano ko ba makakalimutan ang lahat?
sa lahat ng nakaw na sandali nating dalawa... sa bawat pag-alarm ng phone mo na hudyat na kailangan mo ng umalis hanggang sa mawala ka na sa aking paningin habang bulong sa sarili ko na "hanggang kelan?" isa lang ang nais kong malaman mo...
wala pa rin akong pinag-sisisihan...
alam ko naman na posibleng hindi mangyari yun kung hindi ako nagparamdam sayo... sa madaling salita... ako na naman ang nagsimula ng lahat... tulad ng palaging nangyayari... nagmadali na naman ako... hindi ko na naman nahintay ang tamang pagkakataon na kung saan dapat na mangyari yun... alam ko hindi pa dapat... alam kong mali... kahit saang anggulo natin tingnan... mali at mali pa rin...
hindi ko alam kung ano magiging reaksyon mo sa oras na mabasa mo ito... posibleng balewala sayo... pero siguro depende na lang ito sa kung paano mo tatanggapin ang lahat ng nakasulat dito...
pero sa bawat pagkakataong nagkikita tayo isa lang ang palaging sinasabi ng konsensya ko...
hindi pa dapat... hindi pa talaga dapat...
dahil alam ko na i am "JUST ALMOST OVER YOU..." not "ALREADY OVER YOU!!!"

last night i watched BATMAN with a friend...
actually i thought hindi kami matutuloy manood though we really have plans of watching it because the night before yesterday something happen...
he texted me around 1am asking if i can call him and it's important... kaya lang sobrang antok na ako that time so di ko na lang pinansin yung text nya and continued my sleep... then i received another text message from him again telling me that "his girlfriend" reads my text message to him asking if the movie was showing already so from there alam ko na kung ano ang pwede mangyari... since antok na antok na talaga ako that time i didn't give a damn to reply and just ignore it na lang... 30mins after that 2nd message my phone beeps again and since di pa ganun kalalim ang tulog ko nagising na naman ako... it says in the message that he already explain to "her" the reason why i texted him... at in short binalewala ko na lang...
then yesterday, i never thought na he will text me again after what happen. but after i had my lunch i received a text message from asking kung what time ako out ng office... sobrang badtrip daw sya at gusto nya magpalamig at kung pwede ko daw sya samahan at kwento nya sa akin ang lahat ng nangyari... sa madaling salita nagkita nga kami last night... we had our dinner first. as expected, absorber na naman ang naging papel ko... while we're eating he told what was really happen that night... their fight that somehow makes him out of control... while listening to his kwento, i can't help asking myself "is it my fault kung bakit umabot sa ganun ang away nila?" at "mali ba yung ginagawa ko pag accompany sa kanya everytime magkakaroon sila ng problema?"
but then i realized wala naman ako ginagawang masama... i was just being "a friend" to him... willing to listen and be with him on those times that he thinks his life is no longer valuable...
while watching the movie, there are some lines in the movie na feeling ko match sa character nya... inuulit ko at sinasabi ko sa kanya like...
"It not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you..."
I told him that not only once then he asks me why am i telling it to him... and i just smiled at him but in my mind syempre meron akong ibang meaning kung bakit ko sinabi yun...
"Anger will give you power but it it will destroy you..."
When i was about to look at him tell him those words, pinangunahan na nya ako na wag ko na daw ulitin kasi alam na nya... hehehe "action speak louder than words"
tuwing magkasama kaming dalawa, he always kept on asking kung bakit hindi daw kami nag-aaway dalawa? yun daw yung reason kung bakit pag kasama nya ako parang ang cool ng mundo nya... sa kanya na din mismo nanggaling na siguro daw kasi "understanding" ako... (sabi nya yun ha... hehehe) na sa tuwing may problema sya, palagi akong may solusyon na nakahanda... na kahit daw maraming beses ko na nakita kung gaano sya "kasama" (which i think is not true... kasi each and every one of us has a good side... yung iba nga lang tinatago nila kasi feeling nila it's a sign of being weak) hindi pa ako nagsasawa na samahan sya sa mga oras na kailangan nya ng kasama at kausap...
on our way home, nagtatalo naman kaming dalawa which is usual na sa amin... hehehe... ewan ko ba kung bakit ko ba naisip na asarin sya ng oras na yun... kaya ayun nung napapansin ko na tumataas na ang boses nya at ako na din ang nag change ng topic... he asked me bakit ko daw ginawa yun eh alam ko na nga na mainit ang ulo nya that time and he wants to cool down... kaya nag-sorry na lang ako and admit na mali nga ako... ang wala syang reason para i-nagg ako kasi hindi naman ako ang kaaway nya in the first place...
then we reached Ayala and nauna ako nakasakay sa kanya...
i was about to sleep when i received a text message from him... "salamat sa pagsama mo sa kin..."
it really makes me happy when somebody appreciates what i am doing for them 'coz i know that my existence is somehow important...
i replied... "no problem, and2 lang naman ako anytime you needed somebody to talk to... gudnyt"
before i sleep, i pray to HIM but this time it wasn't for me but for all my friends...
i realized how lucky i am to know HIM and making HIM part of my life now... i may not be that good i know, but i am not that bad also 'coz i know i have so much to give... maybe not to the whole world but to those people who needed me and my friendship...
one reason why i never gave up on anybody just like that... 'coz even HIM, never gave up on me no matter what i did...
"ALWAYS LOOK for the GOOD in OTHERS...
NEVER JUDGE THEM for all the BAD THINGS that they did
'coz each one of US had our own REASONS why we do such a THING..."

.:: kwento ko lang ::.
.:: nakakainis na umaga ::.
while i was waiting for my cousin this morning to finished taking her bath, i decided to open the television and watch the NEWS... hmmm, medyo tagal na din kasi ako di nanonood ng news kaya di ako updated though may mga naririnig ako... kaya lang hindi ko alam kung bakit sa halip na matuwa ako dahil na-update ako sa mga nangyayari sa bansa natin, nainis lang ako lalo sa lahat ng narinig at napanood ko...
well, Philippines is a beautiful country... madaming places na magaganda... but for me one thing that really makes the country a shameless one is the "government"... forgive me for this... but our government really s***s...
lahat ata ng news na narinig ko kanina may comment ako... pero sino ba naman ako para magsalita ng kung ano ang tama at maganda para sa bansa... i am just a simple citizen... hindi naman papakinggan at babalewalain lang... nakakalungkot lang talaga isipin kung bakit nangyayari ito sa bansa natin...
yes, Philippines is a beautiful country but it is also the place where the "rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer"... masuwerte ka na pag tumama ka sa lotto or mag-join sa mga gameshow sa TV at manalo...
one more thing na talaga naman kinainis ko pa eh yung news about the "fetuses" na nakikita na lang sa kung saan saan... ganun na ba talaga ka-walang konsensya ang mga tao ngayon... hindi na nga nila binigyan ng pagkakatong mabuhay ang mga batang walang kamalay-malay... tinatapon pa nila sa kung saan saan lang (sa basurahan, sa mga bakanteng lote... atbp)
hindi naman nila kasalanan na dumating sila sa mundo...
kung ang point ng mga taong gumagawa nun eh dahil hindi pa sila handa na harapin ang buhay ng may anak... bakit nila hinayaan na mangyari yun... hindi man lang nila naisip na minsan din silang naging ganun...
pano na lang kung sila ang hindi binigyan ng pagkakatong mabuhay...
pano na lang kung sa kanila ginawa yung mga ginagawa nila...
ganito na ba talaga kasama ang tao???
hanggang sa mga oras na ito hindi ko alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ko...
galit ako sa mga nangyayari pero wala naman ako magawa...
kaya eto kahit dito lang mailabas ko ang inis na nararamdaman ko...
kung may makabasa man at di magustuhan... pasensya na kayo...
lahat naman tayo may karapatan mag express ng feelings...
kaya ako, dinadaan ko na lang sa pagsusulat...

.:: wala ako maisip na title ::.
here i am again...
thinking... thinking... thinking...
wondrin' what life will bring...
leaving all the paths i took that somehow lead me to what i am right now...
though i know i will never walk through that path again,
i am grateful that i have all the memories and experiences...
sometimes i'm thinking how am i going to move on
if i don't know where to go... what path to take...
but i guess that's what makes my life more exciting...
all the surprises that comes along my way...
i should accept the fact that life has full of crossroads on its way
and it's really hard to choose which way to go...
and for every path i may take whether it is the right one or the wrong...
whether what side of it to take, right, left or straight...
i have to keep in mind that in each and every road i will take...
there will be no turning back...
some road may have signs
that somehow will help me to decide but in the end,
the choice is still with me...
it may not always be the right choice
yet i know that i will be the one responsible for each decision i will make...
one thing i can sure of now is that
whatever road i will choose may it never be smooth nor straight...
may it be full of potholes, curves, uphills and downhills...
i know that it won't be something i cannot handle...
knowing that i am not alone in this journey...
i may not know yet where am i going...
but at least i have the courage and perseverance of getting there...
enjoying this journey of life...
meeting people that will somehow share their own thoughts and experiences...
though sometimes i just can't help thinking that maybe it will be more exciting if there would be "SOMEONE" who will take this journey with me...

...the place called Boracay...

Boracay, a place of heaven for those who want to escape the city life... it wasn't my first time to be here but i still don't know where and how to begin to describe the feeling of being here...
Ah, yes, Boracay...
As its waves brushed against my face...
enjoying its clear water as clear that i can still see my feet even if the water level is up to my shoulder...
the fine sand that even at noon your feet do not get burned...
Blue skies all year round, pristine soft-powdered white sand that never gets hot in the afternoon sun, cool crystal clear water, and smiles that never end...
that's Boracay...
a place where the night never sleeps...
a place where star gazing is a must coz every star that HE created can be seen at night and with the soft tropical breezes blowing your hair and keeping you cool...
yep, this is paradise!
every morning in Boracay is another new experirnce with more sights as the morning sun slowly changes into the later hour light...
but unlike my first time here...
now i'm satisfied...
i am happy though i don't have that special someone (except my mom whose with me this time)...
One lesson i've learned from the first time i went to Boracay...
Let go when it's time to let go... and you'll feel alright...
but no matter what, there's always the MEMORIES...
and then the SMILES...

di na naman makatulog ang diwa
habang nakatingin sa apat na sulok ng kisame ng silid
lumulutang ang isip habang nagmumuni-muni
ng mga bagay bagay na hindi maabot ng mga kamay
nalilito at hindi alam kung paano susundan ang agos ng buhay
paikot-ikot habang pinipilit ang diwa
na pansamantalang magpahinga
subalit ito'y lumalaban
na sa pakiwari ko'y may gustong iparating
huminga ng malalim na halos hindi maarok
ng isip kung ano ang nais na ipahiwatig...
mga ilang gabi pa kaya ako magiging ganito?
mga ilang umaga pa kaya ang naghihintay sa akin?
ang tanong sa sarili...
paano kung ang gabing ito na pala
ang huling gabi na masisilayan ko
ang apat na sulok na ito ng aking silid?
pano kung ang gabing ito na pala
ang hudyat na tapos na ang misyon ko?
Handa na ba ako?
muling tanong sa sarili...
Handa na nga ba ako na humarap sa KANYA?
May isasagot kaya ako sa mga itatanong NYA?
Pagod na ang katawan ko...
Gusto ko na magpahinga...
Subalit patuloy pa din ang diwa...
Patuloy sa pag-iisip kung ano ang hatid
ng muling pagsikat ng araw...
At habang unti-unting nagdidilim ang paligid
sa dahan-dahang pagpikit ng mga mata...
Hindi ko alam kung ang sinulat kong ito ay may kabuluhan
Pano ko ba ito tatapusin?
Wala akong maisip na katapusan
Sapagkat sa muling pagsikat ng araw...
Panibagong hamon na naman ng buhay ang naghihintay sa akin...
Kaya kailangan ko na matulog upang bukas
meron akong lakas upang malampasan ko ang lahat...
--sa aking mga masugid na readers... pasensya na kayo kung ang nakasulat dito ay magulo... hindi ko alam kung may kabuluhan... hehehe... wala kasi ako magawa kagabi at habang nagpapaantok naisipan ko isulat ang kung ano ang asa isip ko... sulat lang ng sulat kung ano ang unang pumasok sa isip at hindi ko alam kung magkakatugma ba or may sense...
ayoko naman masayang ang effort ng pag-iisip at pagsusulat ko kaya naisipan ko na i-post na lang...

The Scenario: We will call them Boy and Girl, because the pain,
the heartache, the insanity, and the ultimate survival (believe it or
not) ARE universal.
Boy breaks up with Girl. Girl is very sad. Boy is sad that Girl is sad,
but not that sad. Girl contemplates hibernation, the possible move
to another country, pitching a tent outside his house, and calling
his mother to have her intervene. In the mass of this confusion,
somewhere in between the words "It's not you, it's me..." and "I'd
really like to still be friends...," all these options seem
sane to Girl... to Boy... not so much.
The Solution: Girl's life has changed drastically. She has taken on the role of a single female, and though this idea seems frightening at first, with the help of The Breakup Book, Girl will soon be on her way to a new beginning. This book offers the reassurance of an old friend, the consolation of a bowl of chocolate fudge swirl, and the comfort of flannel pajamas, all in one package. From the very first moments of shock to the final stages of acceptance, Girl will experience the advice and guidance needed to get on with her life. And in the end, Girl will find herself single and loving it -- a lone goddess in complete control of her kingdom. She will have no one to thank but Boy for breaking her heart and giving her the chance to put the pieces back together... better than before. -- from the Publisher
i was about to go home last night when i decided to drop by at ATC to buy an AVR for my PC... habang naglalakad ako i saw the booth wherein there are so many books for SALE and since hindi naman ako nagmamadali na makauwi, nagtingin-tingin muna ako sa mga books and then i saw these one nga... it got my attention 'coz i was really curious what's inside of it... though i cannot read even part of it kasi naka-plastic pa sya, hindi ako ng 2nd thought na bilihin sya for only P99.50 (o di ba mura lang?)
while on the bus going home, naisipan ko na basahin na sya and first page pa lang sobrang naka-relate na ako...
Begin with This... There always comes a time of elimination. The earth sheds each year. The trees and flowers let go of their identity... as the old identity dies, a new identity is born. The body sheds constantly. Some of it happen invisibly, so naturally and silently that we do not realize it is happening. The heart and the spirit also shed. The shed the emotions and experiences that we no longer need. they shed the things that stunt our grouwth. This, too, is an invisible process. Yet because of the energy involved , the emotional energy, we often feel the emotional and spiritual shedding. It feels as if we are dying. We are. just like the flowers and the trees, we are dying to an old identity. This sheding or death, is not the end of us. It is the beginning.
-- Iyanla Varzant
first page pa lang ng book interesting na... kung hindi lang talaga nakakahilo magbasa habang nakasakay sa bus... pagdating ko ng dorm, i told my cousin na may nabili nga ako na book... tinawanan lang nya ako sabay tanong... "Kailangan mo pa ba yan?", and i told her "Hindi na, pero mukhang maganda kaya gusto ko basahin..." at hindi nga ako nagkamali...
Here's the Plan. It's time to get your life back in order. Don't try to take things too fast -- the truth is that it's not going to happen overnight. When you wake up tomorrow, your heart is still going to hurt. but the good news is that every day, it's going to hurt a little bit less. As long as you keep moving forward and keep looking toward tomorrow, you're going to make through this.
Don't give in those feelings of helplessness. There are things you can do to help yourself get through this time. Instead of foucsing all your thoughts on him, remind yourself of all the people in your life who care about you. Let them comfort you. But even more importantly, learn to comfort yourself.Don't let yourself believe that you're nothing without him. Think back to all the happy times you had before you ever met him. Those memories are proof that you can be happy on your own.
You're going to get through this. Just keep telling yourself that until you start to believe it.
-- Natalie Evans
though i'm already over in that process... it's really worth reading...
it's true na hindi madali ang lahat... but all we need is TIME...
and on the rate of 1-10, i can say that this book is a perfect 10... especially for those who are having a hard time of Putting the Pieces Back Together...

..: seven wonders of the world ::.
when i receive this email i was hesitant to open it since i've already known the "seven wonders of the world" since elementary but then since i have nothing to do when it pop up in my inbox, i decided to open it and i was amazed when i read it...
maybe some of you will not pay attention to this entry but i want you give even just a glimpse on this one 'coz i'm sure that once you've read what was this all about... you will smile just like what i did...
so here it goes...

The Seven Wonders of the World
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World". Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egytp's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Hanging Garden
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. SO she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help."
The girl hesitated then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:"
1. To See
2. To Hear
3. To Touch
4. To Taste
5. To Feel
6. To Laugh

7. And to Love
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlooked as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder -- that the most precius things in life cannot be bulit by hand or bought by man...
