throughout my brokenhearted stage, blogginh helped me a lot-a lot. He asked at first not to write anything in my blog about what happened..HA! Fat chance. You left and hurt me and you except me to do what you ask? Mag isip isip tayo a. He knows my blog site. He knows everything--from my passwords to all my number..ganyan po tlaga pag matagal kayo nagsama sa isang bahay...that's why when he left, i had to change my #s, my passwords---lahat tlaga..it was so tedious. not to mention masakit. kse it was like re-programming one's life. Parang may magpa re-image ng pc mo tapos lahat ng files mo nawala...it's something that you don't want to do but you have to...hhaaayyyy...but despite of what happened, I never gave up my blog. kesehodang mabasa nya ang mga nangyayari sa buhay ko. What happened to me was the result of your thoughtless and heartless action. In your face. Nasaktan ako so ano ngayon? I'm writing this because of what's happening to amgine...girl, you've read everything that has happened to me...from that gather strength...know that THIS TOO SHALL PASS! 4 months ago, I never thought na I'd be as strong as I am now. But look at me! Look at me. I still have my lonely moments but hey, mas madami ang happy moments ko ngayon. Gather strength from your friends, family, GOD and from yourself...its like singing. You can't sing well if you don't draw breathe from within...so just breathe...it may difficult now but one day...one day you will breathe life again...and sing.
Woman-to-Woman Encouragement
Don't Cry Out Loud
(Melissa Manchester)
Baby cried the day the circus came to town,
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her.
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown,
While she danced without a net upon the wire.
I know a lot about her, 'cause you see,
Baby, is an awful lot like me.
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud..
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down,
They left behind her dreams among the litter.
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found,
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter.
But Baby can't be broken, 'cause you see,
She had the finest teacher, that was me.
I told her:
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost made it.
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
"A heart can be broken but it goes on beating just the same" (Fried Green Tomatoes)
Someone will always be prettier. They will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances. Think about it. The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. And the richest
woman you know -- she's got the car, the house, the clothes -- might be lonely.
And the word says if I have not Love, I am nothing.
So, again, love you. Love who you are right now and let God be your barometer. Mirror Him.
Look in the mirror in the morning and see how much of God you see. He's the only standard and even when
you come up short; he will not leave you or forsake you. Smile and may God continue to BLESS YOU Real GOOD!!
"I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed!"
The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
"The one who kneels to God can stand up to anything."
"Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen."

For all my "good apple" friends and new blogger (louanne, wythcgurl, francis...) friends as well...our time will come...
Something Beautiful
(Robby Williams)
You can’t manufacture a miracle
The silence was pitiful that day.
And love is getting too cynical
Passion's just physical these days
You analyse everyone you meet
But get no sign the loving kind
Every night you admit defeat
And cry yourself blind
If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
The DJ said on the radio
Life should be stereo, each day
And the past that cast the unsuitable
Instead of some kind of beautiful, you just couldn't wait
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no, no, no
Forgot the time feeling petrified, when they lived alone
If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
It'll come your way
It'll come your way some kind of beautiful
It'll come your way some kind of beautiful
It'll come your way some kind of beautiful
It'll come your way
All your friends think you're satisfied
But they can't see your soul no no no
Forgot the time feeling petrified
When they lived alone
If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way
"Sometimes I'm tempted to become a street person, cut off from society. But then I wouldn't get to wear my outfits."
Got the article below from Wytchgurl. Read through all my broken hearted friends...
When is it really over?
This is one of the mornings after another sleepless nights that I cannot help ask myself, why didn't I have a goodnight sleep again? then I would just joke myself and answer it with, maybe someone's been thinking of me all night...ha ha ha ha!
Jokes are always half meant, a friend said once. And maybe...just maybe, behind that joke, there's this wishful thinking that someone from the past would again, bounce in my head... disturb my sanity and make my day half-miserable.
What if he's thinking about me? What if he still loves me? It's just another imagination, I know. Another day of what if and maybe's. For the 9th time, I've told myself that when it's over, it's really over! there's no sense turning back or even trying to pick up the pieces again. It's time to move on and face the reality?
When it's over, is it really over?
When you decide to let go, Do you really succeed in letting go? I just heard the latest song of Sugar Ray a while ago. Here's the first few lines that caught my attention:
When it's over That's the time I fall in love again.
When it's over That's the time you're in my arms again.....
How can you possibly say it's over when you're still in love with the person you said you were over with already? I guess it's not that easy when the chain of the past locks you in the chest of false hopes and lead to a place called fantasy with Cinderella and Snow White as you best friends! The three of you gather on the hilltop and after a while three young drop-head gorgeous princess would come riding on their horses to join the picnic under a tree.
How pathetic! But, admit it or not. It's true.... The hardest part of losing a loved one is to accept the fact that they're gone and might never come back again. There are things that will always remind you of your togetherness... the places you've been, his/her favorite food you used to cook for her/him, expressions you used to hear from his/her song you both loved to sing. These are the memories that'd linger in your mind from time to time. Because you were both in love before (or so you think so), it makes you hope for another chance. You begin to believe on what others said that LOVE IS LOVELIER THE SECOND TIME AROUND and the line from Ally Mcbeal,
"Whoever said that 'plenty of the fish in the sea' thing is lying. Sometimes there's only one...trust me..."
We would desperately believe that what happens in the movies might also happen to us one day. Who didn't like the lines from the movie "Runaway Bride" where Julia Roberts told Richard Gere,
"I guarantee that we'll have tough time; I guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret this for the rest of my life, coz' I know in my heart...you're the only one for me."
We tend to think that the person who left us will come back one day and say those things as trials to be conquered in order for the relationship to bloom and mature.
OuUccHh....Reality just bit me!
More often than not, these romantic movies and mushy love songs only make us long for something we cannot have... and for someone who cannot be our's again. It hurts to admit that we are just pretending. All the while we already knew the truth but we ignore it. When the damage is done, there's nothing left to do but cry... to mourn for the bitterness in our hearts. Then curse anybody who gets in the way.
I'm scared!!! Really I am.
As long as we still hold on to the past, the chance of meeting someone new may be a bit far off the field. The fear of trusting and falling in love again may also hinder us to grow and move on. We are hesitant to take the risk, afraid that we may get hurt again. Because of the negative thoughts stocked in our brains, we refuse to go out from our self made world and deprive ourselves from new opportunities, whether in love affairs or career wise.
Let's face it!
Betrayal can be anywhere and anyone can be a victim. The worst part is when one we truly, madly, deeply love is the one who will betray us in the end. Then we are left with nothing but a broken heart and wounded pride. Sad...but true!
Reality check please....
It can happen to anyone, but we shouldn't just take things as it comes. An action must be done. We should take care of ourselves from the hungry wolves in the jungle. It's matter of survival. Stand up when you fall. It's ok to cry as hard as long as you want to, just make sure that when you stop crying, you won't cry for the same reason anymore. Learn and live. LOVE IS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING ONE CAN OFFER, so be smart enough to give the love in your heart to the one who really deserve it...
I just read the article below in CNN
Can vole experiment prevent cheating lovers?
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- What would you give for a simple injection that would stop your lover from cheating?
Well, at least it works for meadow voles.
A single gene inserted into the brain can change promiscuous male rodents into faithful, monogamous partners, scientists said Wednesday.
It may not be as easy to rein in human philanderers but researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center of Emory University and Atlanta's Center for Behavioral Neuroscience said their rodent results could help to explain the neurobiology of romantic love.
"Our study ... provides evidence in a comparatively simple animal model, that changes in the activity of a single gene profoundly can change a fundamental social behavior of animals within a species," said Larry Young a researcher at the university.
He and his colleagues, who reported their research in the science journal Nature, used a harmless virus to transfer the gene for a key hormone involved in sexual behavior from monogamous prairie voles into the brains of their randy relatives, the meadow voles.
After the gene transfer, the previously promiscuous meadow voles had less of a roving eye and showed a distinct preference for their current partners.
Earlier research had shown that prairie voles, which form life-long partnerships, had higher levels of receptors for the hormone vasopressin in an area of the brain called the ventral pallidum, than meadow voles.
Introducing the gene increased the natural levels of the receptor and enhanced the meadow voles' ability to form pair bonds.
Previous studies have also suggested that the receptors may play a role in disorders such as autism, and that brain pathways involved in romantic relationships also play a part in drug addiction.
"It is intriguing," said Young, "to consider that individual differences in vasopressin receptors in humans might play a role in how differently people form relationships."
The Breakup Test: Are you ready to move on?
You're Ready for Mr. Right (24-30 points)
Congratulations! You survived the breakup, but even better, you've picked yourself up and dusted off that post-relationship rubble. Maybe it took a while, but all that TLC that you've given yourself lately has finally paid off! From divvying up the stuff, to finding your place in the Newly Single's Scene, you've captured all the closure you need. Look out boys, here you come!

Went out with Marc last night. We ate at Mediterranean Cafe (i think...I forgot the name na) and their Chicken Kebab with couscous was delicious! There goes my unintentional after 6 diet! After dinner, we made tambay in Gloria Jean's (tama ba?) where their coffee and mango juice are...BLECH! walang kwenta! Don't go to that coffee shop. So not worth it!
artistahin pala ako...bwahahahaha!
when we're in Toby's, this old lady went up to me, chucked me under my chin and said "So beautiful! You wanna be an ABS-CBN actress?"
hahahaha o da ba pwede pala akong pang Star Circle
...halloween batch
A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty, he said...no. She asked him if he would want to be with her forever....and he said no. She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no. She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said....
You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I dont want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldnt cry if you walked away...I'd die...

Tears, Idle Tears
(Tennyson)
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,
That brings our friends up from the underworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.
Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casement slowly grows a glimmering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
O Death in Life, the days that are no more.
Tears, Idle Tears
(Tennyson)
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,
That brings our friends up from the underworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one
That sinks with all we love below the verge;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.
Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns
The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casement slowly grows a glimmering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.
Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
O Death in Life, the days that are no more.

My horoscope for Saturday, June 12:
Thinking about a commitment? Great. Except if it happens, it might involve a long-distance move. If you're not ready to pack up, better formulate Plan B.
***ayayay, what is this***
I LOVE THIS GAME
One of my fave movies will be celebrating its 15th anniversary today. Field of Dreams...started my love of the game...when we were kids I remember that I bullied my older bro to play catch with me (at times hitting him with my bat or throwing extra hard). But I usually played with my younger brother cz he was a better player. We played catch at the back of the car on our way to Baguio or while waiting for our mom. We played in my lolo's pulo (manggahan). We played in Clark with the servicemen that used to be stationed there. We played in our garden (kaya nasira mga plants ng mom ko and when we blamed the rats!). We played anywhere and everywhere. I'd ask my dad to bring us to Dau where that Px "mall" used to be so that I can scrounge for used Baseball stuff. In my book, used Baseball mitts are better. I pestered my dad to bring me to Rizal Coliseum to watch our National Baseball team play during one of the SEA games that was held here. I love watching Baseball games...seems to me that I'm the only one who gets the kick out of it and finds it as exciting as Basketball pag last 2 minutes nalang...childhood dreams that we're traded for "real-life" and grown-up dreams...how I wish that i could play again...wanna play catch?
Other Baseball movies that I love are:
For love of the Game: also starring Kevin Costner
'61 (TV Movie)
Here are some quotes:
Field of Dreams:
"Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come"

Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: This is my most special place in all the world, Ray. Once a place touches you like this, the wind nevers blows so cold again. You feel for it, like it was your child.

Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: Well, you know I... I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases - stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?

Ray Kinsella: Fifty years ago, for five minutes you came within... y-you came this close. It would KILL some men to get so close to their dream and not touch it. God, they'd consider it a tragedy.
Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: Son, if I'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes... now that would have been a tragedy.
For love of the Game:
[repeated line - his trick for concentration]
Billy Chapel: Clear the mechanism.

"Jane Aubrey: What if my face was all scraped off and I was totally disfigured and had no arms and legs and I was completely paralyzed. Would you still love me?
Billy Chapel: No. But we could still be friends."
