last night, met up with Karla, Rica and Nina. except for Karla, we were all ex-es of a group of guys belonging to one barkada. Rica used to be with Inigo. Nina used to be with Edwin. Me with Carroll. Going strong pa din si Karla with Leo. Sana they end up together na nga. No more heartaches please. It was a night of kwentos and kwentos and kwentos. Mainly about "our boys". The ex-es and other boys as well. It was nice being with them again. They seem to be a breathe of fresh air in an otherwise smog filled room. There we were 4 girls talking about our lives loves and faith. How nice. If I'd grow old, they would be the group I'd be having tea with during afternoons. a bunch of nice girls we were. all wanting the same thing. a nice man to be with for the rest of our lives. how simple yet hard.

have you ever woken up and the first thought in your mind was something bad? I did. just this morning. it wasn't more of a thought but a feeling. pain. we're the best of friends now, yknow...he visits every so often...its been a bad week...very bad week...prang back to square one ako ngayon...i'm so lost...dazed...hurt...i am suffering...when will this stop? when will the tears just dry up...kelan ako mamamanhid? its been 3 months and its stil the same...will it ever stop...it's so painful that i literally crumple to the floor..writhing in pain...and at the same time trying to breathe...ayoko nang masaktan...ayoko nang umiyak...ayoko na! ayoko na! but how can you tell that to someone...to someone like me...its so easy for you to say: get up and move on! don't think about it, forget about him he's a loser...it's easy for you to say that because hindi kayo yung nasasaktan...if i can show you how my pain looks like or or how it feels, the mere sight of it is something that will give you nightmares...the feeling will literally knock you off your feet...words cannot properly express how i have been feeling...masyadong masakit...and i have been feeling that for 3 months na...and counting....as i've said before I will never wish this kind of pain to anyone...another person will not be able to live it through...i can't...i'm already on borrowed time, i suspect...i already attempted twice...the last one just last week and that was already the worst...a third attempt might be the successful one...

I used to pray for God to give me strength..I didn't pray for us to get back together anymore if God doesn't want to....but lately....i accepted that I still love him and would still want to try it out with him kaya now I pray for us to be able to get back together (soon) if only he deems it so a=or if he thinks that it will do us good...but aside from that I'm bargaining with God to give us one more chance and promising that we will be both better Christians, sibling, son and daughter..better person...just one chance to correct our mistakes...and if after that one chance it still does not work out then we will let go of each other...all i'm asking is for one chance.....i don't know if God will say yes...and if he does when .....i hope sometime soon...very soon...Lord, just one chance is all I am asking...wouldn't you pray with me, dear?


This made my blue sunday a bit brighter. A testimonial from Jon in friendster: thank you Jon...God wanted me to smile for a minute and this is what he sent.... :)

She just simply brightens up our day in the office! Good mood ako when she's around!ü heheü Take a picture of her using a black and white roll of film....it'll come out colored!! naks!ü She casts a glow effortlessly and adds color to everything! Just imagine how many people have bad days whenever she's having one herself! So don't let anything or anyone take that glaring smile off your face k!?



Got this Ayn's from blog:

(The song whose lyrics I have included below is the translated song from the movie My Sassy Girl. The song
is originally sung in Korean.)


I believe


I believe
That although you are gone
This cannot be the end, can it?

I believe
That your journey back to me
Is just delayed, isn't it?


I remember so well
That I hurt myself as I cry
I hope you don't cry as I do
I hope you won't cry as you leave
I know you will return someday
Because I believe
I will wait for you, just you

I believe you should not cry
When you think about my pain
I believe my tears will bring you back to me
My eyes cannot forget
That it is you who made them cry
I hope you don't cry as I do

(Chorus)
My tears will bring you back to me
My eyes cannot forget
That it is you who make them cry
The world was not so beautiful
Beneath the same sky
All alone I cry
But I will wait here
Just for you
Even if waiting is hopeless
It's already enough
To think of love
Time means nothing to me
I will wait for you, just you

Just you...

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

2 people sent this to me yesterday....and somehow it lifted my spirits.....to feel that you're needed...to feel that someone out there thinks and loves you.....its such a heartwarming thought......it makes me feel that my life has purpose...in the end..under all the pain the tears the suffering...all i wanted was to love and to be loved in return...is that too much to ask for...

How to Help Someone Who is Feeling Suicidal
When a friend or loved one is feeling suicidal, this can be a frightening experience. There is no fool-proof formula to prevent a suicide, but the following are steps compiled from what most suicide prevention organizations recommend

Here's How:
1. Be aware of the warning signs: depression, final arrangements, giving away of possessions, sudden elevated mood, self-destructiveness, and talk of suicide.

2. Be calm and accepting.

3.Give them your full attention; show that you take their feelings very seriously. A suicide attempt is never just a ploy for attention. It is a cry for help.

4. Do not be afraid to ask if they are thinking of suicide. You are not giving them ideas that they haven't already had.

5. Ask if they have a plan and a means to carry out a suicide. Those who have a definite plan are in the most immediate danger.

6. Don't leave them alone. If you must leave, contact someone you trust to take over.

7. Listen attentively and encourage them to share what they are feeling. Allowing them to vent will lessen some of the pressure they feel inside.

8. Avoid the urge to problem-solve or offer judgment on how bad things really are. How serious the problem is is less important than how serious it feels to them.

9. Keep them talking. As they tire, they will lose momentum and be less likely to act on their feelings.

10. Offer them a reason to go on in whatever form they will accept. Love of their children, hope that they can get well, even fear of a failed suicide attempt: all can help them hang on a bit longer until they get the treatment they need.

11. Encourage them to seek professional help as soon as possible. Let them know that depression is an illness and that it is very treatable. Help them make arrangements and take them to their appointment if necessary.

12. If you feel they are in immediate danger, don't hesitate to the emergency number in your area. It is not a betrayal of friendship to get your loved one help. They may feel angry at the time, but this will pass.

Tips:
There is no right or wrong thing you can say. Just be yourself.
Seek support for yourself afterwards to talk about your own feelings.
Places you can take a suicidal person for help: a crisis center, ER, mental health center, or their own psychiatrist or family doctor.


What do people who feel suicidal want?

Someone to listen. Someone who will take time to really listen to them. Someone who won't judge, or give advice or opinions, but will give their undivided attention.
Someone to trust. Someone who will respect them and won't try to take charge. Someone who will treat everything in complete confidence.
Someone to care. Someone who will make themselves available, put the person at ease and speak calmly. Someone who will reassure, accept and believe. Someone who will say, "I care."

What do people who feel suicidal not want?

To be alone. Rejection can make the problem seem ten times worse. Having someone to turn to makes all the difference. Just listen.

To be advised. Lectures don't help. Nor does a suggestion to "cheer up", or an easy assurance that "everything will be okay." Don't analyze, compare, categorize or criticize. Just listen.

To be interrogated. Don't change the subject, don't pity or patronize. Talking about feelings is difficult. People who feel suicidal don't want to be rushed or put on the defensive. Just listen

****
Ambivalence is a marked feature of a suicidal person. Many don't want to die, but simply want a way to escape an unbearable situation.
Emotionally you're an idiot.

Almost didn't make it last wednesday...almost didn't...I almost lost it if it weren't for my persistent friends and for the prayers of everyone...i already disconnected the phonelines...made sure I was alone...fixed my stuff...wrote my goodbye letter...prayed the rosary and 300 "souls in the purgatory prayer"...and I asked God for forgiveness...until someone made a desperate attempt to reach out to me...God bless his soul ( and mine na din...)...I was crying and crying the whole night...asking God to take away the pain and the hurt...bargaining with him that if he does I'd be a good girl for the rest of my life...and he did. just for that night lang naman, he took away the hurt because he made me sleep and the next thing I know I had the sun in my face...

That episode was my cry for help...it means that I really don't want to die but I need help...it means na i want to die because the pain and hurt was so unbearable........and because I feel that I am already a burden to everyone...an emotional vampire...and i never want that to happen...it means na...i need help because I can't help myself

"Sometimes an attempted suicide is, in effect, a cry for help. And surely family members and friends want to do the right thing for the one who has lost hope. Of course, it will not help to use expressions such as: "Stop feeling sorry for yourself," "A lot of people are worse off than you are" or, "All of us have a bad day now and then." Instead, why not be a real friend and a good listener? Yes, try to help the despondent one to see that life is worth living.

French author Voltaire wrote: "The man who, in a fit of melancholy, kills himself today, would have wished to live had he waited a week." Well, then, how can people in despair discover that life is worthwhile?

"Suicide is not about dying, it's about stopping pain,"

In the future...if this happens again...say a prayer for me...whenever you have time..say the Souls in the purgatory prayer..you never know..It might be my soul you're helping.....

"ETERNAL REST GRANT TO THEM, O, LORD AND PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM."

I will dedicate and sacrifice my every thing for just a second's worth to find my story's ending.
And I wish I could know the directions that I take,and all the choices that I make,
will end up all for nothing.

Show me what it's for, make me understand it.
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer.
Is it something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer.


Help me carry on.
Show me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
to navigate the darkness.
You'll be ending me, if I come in suddenly.
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

Show me what it's for, make me understand it.
I've been crawling in the dark,
looking for the answer.
Is it something more
than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark,
looking for the answer.

So when the hell will I know (know know know know know know...).
How much further do I have to go?
And how much longer 'til I finally know?
'Cause I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me,
in front of me!

Show me what it's for, make me understand it.
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer.
Is it something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark, looking for the answer
Just a clarification re: the YM conversation that I posted. My tone was angry and hurt because for 2 weekends he was always "cannot be reached". No explanation was given to me as to why every weekend he would be supposedly asleep and cannot answer the phone. For 2 weeks. Imagine worrying about someone for 2 weeks and he did not even deign to give me any plausible explanation as to where he was basta he was asleep or he was sick and did not hear the phone...how could someone be sick enough to not answer the phone but can go to work??? Mas mahirap ata pumasok kesa sumagot ng telepono...

Lord, help me walk another mile, just one more mile. I'm tired of walkin' all alone.
Lord, help me smile another smile, just one more smile. I know I just can't make it on my own. I never thought I needed help
before. I thought that I could do things by myself. Now I know I just can't take it any more. With a humble heart, on bended knee. I'm beggin' you, please, for help.

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you I miss you)
(I miss you I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't settle for the one you can live with. Fight for the one you can't live without.

I did. I fought for that one person and I lost...he was my Waterloo...he was, as I thought, the love of my life and the person God sent to me to spend the rest of my days with..but I was wrong...dead wrong...as I said before he brought me straight up to the high heavens and to hell...where I still am...I'm still trying to get over him...I'm still trying to erase all the love I had for him and trying to erase of hurts and memories I had of him...I can't wait for the day when i wake and I won't think about him anymore...that I won't cry over him anymore...that i won't love him anymore...when that day comes, you mark my word, you can never go back...and I'll never go back to you...just like what happened to the first guy who broke my heart...it took a long time for me to recover and when I did, it was too late na for him. He's been trying to court me for years now-may boyfriend ako or wala...but everytime I tell him no. Recently I did try to go out with him but its not the same anymore...I dont like him like how I used to like him...One of these days Adrian, you will be in the same boat... you will love me the way I loved you...one day you will think of me the way I thought of you...one day you will cry for me the way I cried for you and one day you will want me but I won't want you..


How does it feel that you are the cause why 2 people broke up? How does it feel to be called the third party, the querida, the kabit...doesn't it hurt...yet you are and you don't care...i hope and pray to God that you will not experience the same hurt that I experienced...I hope and pray to God that you will never cry the same amount of tears that I cried...I hope and pray to God that you will never feel how it is to be betrayed...how it is to see your world suddenly crumble...how to have that one person you love and cherish taken from you...I hope and pray to God that you will never feel how it is to love and NOT be loved in return...I hope and pray that you will never experience what I went through just because of him...NEVER do I wish that of anyone...it's too painful...I almost died because of what happened...but do you care? did both of you care while you were too busy "loving each other"...i guess not...though you never spoke to me about it...though you never asked for my forgiveness, I give it to you...I forgive you and I pray to God that one day I will be able to erase all the hurts both of you caused...I asked God for forgiveness for hating you...and I have asked Him to englighten you on what you did and to make you realize what YOU did...you won't realize that now because you're still busy being happy but remember, God is just. that's why he created karma...one of these days you will meet her...and when that day comes...if you need a friend.....you can come to me...that was said with tears in my eyes...with my hurt out in the open...with no malice but the hope that you never get to experience what I went through.....no one deserves that kind of suffering..no, not even you....


..God uses your hurts and disappointments for you to be able to fulfill your purpose in this life...rick warren

So if I'm wearing glasses ibig sabihin bulag ako? So what if one is wearing glasses? Why should it be your business? And how the hell did you get the idea na its only blind people who can wear glasses..is you brain that minute dear? If you're tryin to be funny..don't..you'd booed off stage if you do a stand up act...if you're trying to be a laitera...iha, you dunno who you're talking to...just lemme know when I CAN start making YOU lait...

I don't get it...how could someone not want his or her own child??? There are a lot of women out there who would die to have their own child...who would do anything just to be able to cradle their own flesh and blood in their arms...how can someone not want something so precious...I lost mine...


"You First Believed"

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid
Captured in your embrace

So many times
When my heart was broken
Visions of you
Would keep me strong
You were with me all along
Guiding my every step
You are all that I am

And I'll never forget

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

There were times
When I'd thought I'd lost you
Fearing forever was a dream
But it wasn't what it seemed
Placing your hand in mine
You could see in the dark
You were guiding my heart

It was you who first believed
In all that I was made to be
It was you looking in my eyes
You held my hand
And you showed me life
And I've never been the same
Since you first believed

How many times did I pray
You'd find me
How many wishes on a star

To be young, gifted and depressed

Teenage suicide

LIKE the proverbial thief in the night, suicide shatters every family that it touches. More so when it is a teener who passes away. When suicide takes place, everyone- friends, family, classmates-is left grappling, trying to make sense of the tragedy that has suddenly taken place.

Recent months have shown an alarming rise in the number of adolescent and young adult suicides, their stories often exaggerated, circulating around the schools and universities where these young people once belonged to.

Then there are the suicides which are made public due to the nature or stature of the families involved.
Suicide is defined as the decision to deliberately end one's life. In the United States, suicide is the second leading
cause of death among children and adolescents. In the Philippines, according to Dr. Liza Espinosa-Rondain, a
psychiatrist at the Makati Medical Center and Center for Family Ministries (Cefam) at the Ateneo de Manila University, statistics show that completed suicide more often than not takes place among 18- to 27-year-olds, and that 37 percent of suicide attempts are completed.

Rondain adds that the most common methods used are those of hanging and poisoning. Peak periods are reported to be during Christmas, February and the opening of a new school year.

"There are much more stressors and expectations, especially when it comes to adolescent relationships, during these periods," Rondain explains.

Myths about suicide

She further cites several myths associated with teen suicide. The first myth is that people who talk
about or threaten suicide don't really mean it. "Parents and friends need to be sensitive and should take this kind of talk seriously," she stresses.

It is also untrue that suicides frequently occur out of the blue, that thoughts of suicide are temporary states of mind, and that whatever crisis young people will go through will pass.

"More often than not, the suicide has long been considered and there has been a period of depression prior to it. Again, the people around the adolescent need to be sensitive to the signs and signals being given," says Rondain. Lastly, it is a myth that suicide attempts won't be repeated again because of shame.

Rondain says statistics show that four out of five-indeed, a high rate-try again. "Closer monitoring is really a must for those who have been caught attempting suicide. Just because you were able to catch it [the first time] doesn't mean [the suicidal person] is already safe," she says.

Open communication lines

"Tell the person that you are worried and listen to what s/he has to say. Ask direct questions and if there is a plan, but don't act shocked when the person tells you about it," she says.

"Don't debate on whether it is right or wrong, and never promise to keep the youngster's intention a secret. You also have to ensure that s/he will be safe until you are able to notify an appropriate adult who is responsible for
the teener's care."


Rondain also adds that it is important to give assurance that something is being done and that the troubled person can call for help anytime.

"After the risk is overcome, you need to monitor closely, as many suicide attempts recur three months after the initial attempt," she explains.

Carandang's paper, on the other hand, provides some insights and recommendations for parents and families with adolescents so as to prevent trouble from further escalating. Adults, she says, need to go beyond the faæade of indifference and break that wall to see the intense emotions inside their children.

"Just like their songs with loud 'turn-off' melodies, you will find the meaningful lyrics once you go beyond the
'noise,' " she says. An adolescent also needs to be "touched emotionally" by at least one significant adult. "Someone who values them or to whom they know they matter," she says.

The myth of "all for the family" or "for the family only" can prevent the adolescent and other members from
expressing themselves, seeking autonomy and identity and leading a healthy life for themselves.

"Balancing family with individual concerns is important in the adolescent stage," says Carandang.

Family members, especially fathers, need to find ways to reach out to their adolescent children effectively. Parents need to be aware of adolescent need for approval and affirmation even if the adolescents do not show it.

"They also still look for limits from their parents, but this should be done in a respectful and not insulting manner. The adolescent must be given a say, a role in his or her own development in the spirit of genuine participation," Carandang concludes.

So here I am the victim of my own choices, and I'm just starting....

I told jeanboy that Im ending it na...susmaryosep wala pa ngang naumpisahan ni end na agad...paking shiyeett...more of this as soon as I get back from Enchanted ...I want to be hApPy today!
This was me:

I am making a fool of myself right here
Just to let you know that I love you still
I am making a fool of myself right now
To convince you boy
That we can work this out somehow

but no more. I've learned my lesson and its a lesson that I have taken into heart. No more would anyone be responsible for my own happiness...no one but me...no more with anyone be the center of my life...i would never love the same way ever again...

Maybe one day I'd be able to love someone again as openly as I loved before...maybe someday I'd be able to find my true north star...but until then...I'm a mariner that though it seems na it has lost its way is still determined to find the shore where I can rest my weary heart...


How did I get to be such a mess so soon in my life?

Never thought na I'd post something in ger from Penguin..but i guarantee that its something useful...

The Golden Hour
By Brian Tracy

You become what you think about most of the time. And the most important part of each day is what you think about at the beginning of that day. Take 30 minutes each morning to sit quietly and to reflect on your goals. You'll find when you read the biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women that almost everyone of them began their upward trajectory to success when they begin getting up early in the morning and spending time with themselves.

This is called the Golden Hour. The first hour sets the tone for the day. The things that you do in the first hour prepare your mind and set you up for the entire day. During the first thirty to sixty minutes, take time to think and review your plans for the future.

Here are four things that you can do during that quiet time in the morning. Number one is to review your plans for accomplishing your goals and change your plans if necessary. Number two is think of better ways to accomplish your goals. As an exercise, assume that the way you're going about it is totally wrong and imagine going about it totally differently. What would you do different from what you're doing right now?

Number three, reflect on the valuable lessons that you have learned and are learning as you move toward your goals. Number four, calmly visualize your goal as a reality. Close your eyes, relax, smile, and see your goal as though it were already a reality. Rewrite your major goals everyday in the present tense. Rewrite them as though they already existed. Write “I earn X dollars.” “I have a net worth of X.” “I weigh a certain number of pounds.” This exercise of writing and rewriting your goals everyday is one of the most powerful you will ever learn.

Your life will start to take off at such a speed that you'll have to put on your seatbelt. Remember, the starting point for achieving financial success is the development of an attitude of unshakable confidence in yourself and in your ability to reach your goals. Everything we've talked about is a way of building up and developing your belief system until you finally reach the point where you are absolutely convinced that nothing can stop you from achieving what you set out to achieve.

No one starts out with this kind of an attitude, but you can develop it using the law of accumulation. Everything counts. No efforts are ever lost. Every extraordinary accomplishment in the result of thousands of ordinary accomplishments that no one recognizes or appreciates. The greatest challenge of all is for you to concentrate your thinking single-mindedly on your goal and by the law of attraction, you will, you must inevitably draw into your life the people, circumstances and opportunities you need to achieve your goals.

Once you've mastered yourself and your thinking, you will become a living magnet for ideas and opportunities to become wealthy. It's worked for me and for every successful person I know. It will work for you if you'll begin today, now, this very minute, to think and talk about your dreams and goals as though they were already a reality. When you change your thinking, you will change your life. You will put yourself firmly on the road to financial independence.

Now, here are two things you can do every single day to keep your mind focused on your financial goals:

First, get up every morning a little bit earlier and plan your day in advance. Take some time to think about your goals and how you can best achieve them. This sets the tone for the whole day.

Second, reflect on the valuable lessons you are learning each day as you work toward your goals. Be prepared to correct your course and adjust your actions. Be absolutely convinced that you are moving rapidly toward your goals, no matter what happens temporarily on the outside. Just hang in there!

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...

That's what happened to me...I gave everything and got nothing back... I gambled and I lost---bigtime! There'll be no next time anymore...next time I won't give everything...I'll retain at least 50% to myself...IF there'll be a next time...

Strong Enough
by: Stacie Orrico


As I rest against this cold hard wall,
will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all

my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun

Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again


Will my weakness fall and and now make me
suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by

the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?

Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again


He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance, is where I'm finally found

That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again

Virgo Daily Horoscope

After lots of long-term planning, it's time to actually step up and take action. If you feel the need for a bit of privacy in the meantime, insist upon it. Assure your dear ones that nothing is wrong.


One of the keys to life: the fast forward. Every movie has its lousy parts. The trick is to fast forward through them. As time passes, you look back and say oh, that little thing, oh that. You fast forward to then right now, and you're over it.
....Inside my womb I kept you,
ever peaceful from the storm...
I knew that you were always safe
and I knew that you were warm.

I never thought I'd lose you
before I saw your face...
but I know that you are happy
and living in a better place.

God must have spared my baby
from some unknown tragedy...
I know He'd never be unkind
or bring hurt and pain to me.

The days ahead will try me
as I come to terms with grief...
but through it all, there's comfort,
and God is my relief.

He'll hold me in His arms awhile
and shelter me with care...
time will take away the pain,
but the love will still be there.

You know I just got this piano, sometimes I sing this song it's called goodnight my someone... and it's about...well,
basically it's a love song about someone you never met but you know is out there. And I dunno we make so few promises
to ourselves as we grow up and one of them is that on our wedding day we walk down the aisle with someone we love. Somebody who does make your heart bounce, I guess. And there are some promises that I think we have to keep.

I wish that I can leave na...need time to recuperate on my own.....
due to some friend's insistent demand kse tamad sila hanapin sa friendster si Gani here's my testimonial sa kanya:

ASSUMPTIONISTO! Yep, you read that right. He did study in Assumption from Kinder to Grade 4. FYI. In Grade School, he was the kupalest seatmate but the sweetest too...to me lang ata coz he had a crush on me then (yiiiiheee)..He’d always make me asar but despite of that he has his good sides din naman. He defended me against the salagubangs of a classmate who liked those creepy creatures and sometimes from his pesky sidekicks but the dearest memory I have of him is when he helped heal my bruises coz I scraped my knee when some kid pushed me while playing agawan base.
He found me hiding in some corner trying to hold back my tears and without question he ran to the clinic and next thing I know there he was handing me cotton balls and band aids. Aslagan, as you said, it’s been 15 or so years since we last saw each other but here you are again helping me heal my wounds...destiny??? We never know baka you’re my knight in tarnished and dented armor pala.....so will my surfing lessons be free? O don't forget a March 25 hope your gifts and flowers are not recycled ;P miss ya

Virgo Daily Horoscope
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stop imagining that tall, dark stranger. You have far more important things to think about. For starters, you need to figure out how to react when you actually cross paths with them.

***I can't bear it. Not yet..not ever***

Being Twenty-Something...

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start
realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You
start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you could be doing or maybe you are
looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared. You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is ifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe they love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap
and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that
everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard
as we can to figure this whole thing out.


"I already gave my best.
i have no regrets at all."
-- William Hung
2004 American Idol Auditions
"We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going
unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rule"
"Lord God, I recognize my sin of unforgiveness. Please help me get to the point of being willing to forgive
those who have wronged me. Please give me the desire and ability to forgive. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus'
name I pray, Amen."

Apr 10, 2004

If God was able to forgive me for all the bad things that I had done why, a mere mortal me, cannot forgive that one perosn who has caused me so much pain tears heartaches and suffering? And so on Good Friday, after my tearful confession, I texted Adrian and told him that I am already in the process of trying to forgive him for all the pain he has caused:

"I wish you well. I wish you happiness with whoever you are with now.. Know that I am already in the process of trying to forgive you for all the pain heartache suffering and tears you caused. For the lies hurtful words and broken promises i forgive you even though you do not ask for it and do not realize the wrong that you have done. I forgive you."

I did not get a reply to this message and do not expect any. He has truly changed for the worst.

One of these I will narrate the whole story...this for me...not for anyone's dessert on their chismis table...this for me to exorcise my ghost...a ghost that I will kill one way or the other...a ghost that will never ever haunt me...EVER. As I said, I burn bridges when I get mad. And when I do get mad at you, though I have forgiven you, you are now as good as dead to me. You do not exist anymore in my heart and my life and my memory. You will just be a bad dream that I had and will eventually forget once I wake up....As I told Len, I wil find all the pieces of my heart again and one day, my eyes and heart will smile simultaneously...not someday anymore but ONE OF THESE DAYS...

"In everything that is happening in our lives He has a purpose. Be strongand faithful. Hold on! IN every pain, there is an equal joy to itand we will have our time. GOD HAS BETTER PLANS FOR US!"

"Today is gonna be an uh, a less bad day, I can feel it. Sometimes I wake up and I just know that everything is going to be...less bad. "

Lord, grant me strength..grant me peace of mind and of heart...

Being Maundy Thursday, my mom, a cousin and I visited 14 churches early this morning from our local church till Manila Cathedral in Intramuros...at syempre mainit...ngayon ko lang nalaman na 4 pesos na pala ang bayad sa jeep...na maraming dogs!!!...na mainit tlaga...na I miss the Benedictine Monks early morning Lauds (aaaa heaven on earth!)...that I'm going back to my one of my old loves which is photography...that you should never walk on a very very full stomach...hhhaaayyy sleepppyyy...All through our the trip, Jean and I were texting...2 days pala sya nag dive...scary...

they blocked friendster in the office...i'll missed that website..oh well baka this is one way of God helping me...

God has been very very good to me:
1. He forgave me despite of everything with no qualms
2. He gave me such wonderful wonderful set of friends (my support group-, team mates, officemates..fred, oman.....EVERYONE but most esp to Vianca, my lifesaver and to Mei for always knocking some sense to me and for Kaje for her strength even if she is going through her own problems...)
3. He gave me my family especially my mom and dad...I value them now more than ever...(my mom spoils me!!! hihihihih)
4. For some of you guys, you might not understand why but I thank God, too, for "JB". To simple "kaw tlaga" text to can you not messages to paulit ulit na texts helps me through my everyday
5. For my exes who have given me their own "words of wisdom" and who till this very day continut to love me...

At an airport, I overheard a father and his daughterin their last moments together. They had announced her plane's
departure and standing near the door she said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough too, Daddy."

They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over towards the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking,
"Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"Yes, I have," I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?" I asked.

"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my
funeral," he said.."When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, 'I wish you enough, may I ask what that means?"

He began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."

He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in fetail, he smiled even more. "When we said, 'I wish
you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them."

He continued and then, turning toward me, he shared the following as ifhe were reciting it from memory:

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hellos" to get you through the final "Good-bye"

He then began to sob and walked away.
My friends and loved ones, I wish you enough.

They say, "It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire lifetime to forget them"

I wish you enough.

Whoever said that plenty of fish in the sea thing was lying. Sometimes there's only one fish. Trust me.

O FRIENDS...MATAKOT A.....


Some of the messages he sent:

"When I first met you, you struck me as a person who has forgotten how to love, and be loved. Do you even
remember what it's like to really be with someone? Maybe what you're afraid of it what you don't know."

When he asked me to go to Quezon so that I can dive and trek with him:

"Only those who dare to move too far would have the chance to know how far they can go..."

When I told him I was gonna leave na:

"...how do I, say goodbye to what we had (though short and sudden)! Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
THis was sent to me by the webmistress of Quoteylicious:

*Loving another person to the extent that you already end up hurting yourself... the other person sees it, he/she doesn't care... he/she fails to realize that something good is already staring him/her right in the face, people tell him/her and he/she just ignores them...


*If you love him, and he's just infatuated...
the hardest thing about love - believing it exists.


After you've been hurt..
...learning to forgive
...learning to trust and love again

But the hardest thing really is learning to love yourself. We always forget to do this

Always.

"Ever notice how when you're depressed, or emotionally drained, that your heartbeat is stronger then normal. At times it seems as if it's going to beat right though your chest. I think that it's your hearts way of letting you know
that it's still there. It may have been broken, it may have been ripped out of your chest and stepped on. But it still holds life. And eventually, will once again beat strong, and hopefully, love again."

Why do men lie?

Why do men get over someone that fast?

Why do men play around?

Why do men tell you one thing and do another?

"Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of your time. there are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them."---A DREAM FOR AN INSOMNIAC

This is true..i remember that during the last week of December that I had that God awful feeling of losing him. That's why I asked him not to go but he said that he can't daw and so..the rest is history...

I've always hated being "clairvoyant" if I must use the term...yes, i am able to talk to dead people and spirits...see and feel them...I even have the gift of being able to sometimes see the future...like deja' vu but in a weird sense...bwsit...sana nga lang it came handy when he was about to break my heart da ba??? I am not Madam Auring (ay mahilig sa bata?) or Madam Rose (yer lackheee nhamvher...) I am just plain me so please do not ask me to talk to a dead relative of yours or come up to me and say..may nakikita ka ba now?!?! I just fucking hate that...for appointments, see me in Quiapo every friday..sideline ko yan...hahahahaha.....btw, I believe that every is clairvoyant in different levels...mine is just on higher level than others or mas open yung sensory chorvaness ko than others but if you try to tune into yourself and reflect more, you'd discover that you have the same ability as I do...wag lang abusin and keep to your faith.

Subject: some thoughts from me

Hi Belle,

i just want to share with you two poems that i made for my friends. I know we haven't really known each other that much, but just the same I want you to know that if there is anything i can do to help, just ask. i'm here lang, and as my poems will tell you....this s what i am to my friends. Believe me, you'll be able to sort things out. I can help. I've been there too. :)


I'LL BE HERE

In moments when your heart is rent in sorrow
because of the loss of someone dear,
be not afraid for there is someone near
and will help you face tomorrow.

In moments when your heart leaps in happiness
for reasons you cannot explain,
there is someone who is happy with you
and smiles whenever you do.

In moments when the world goes crazy
and you don't know what else to do,
look no further for someone waits for you
to lead you through the twisted maze of life.

In moments when you feel alone
and the world seems to cave you in,
just reach out to me and i'll pull you out
and hold your hand till you're safely by my side.

In moments when you think there is no hope,
when all your decisions are wrong and failures,
don't despair, don't give up on life,
for i'll be here to boost your spirits.

I'll be here for you no matter what happens,
I'll be here for you no matter how many years go by.
For as long as you'll need me i'll be watching over you
even if i may be very far away.

Should there come a time you'll wonder
if you are near to me,
look into my heart and you will see
that you are there right beside me.


I MAY NOT BE

I may not be there to be with you when you party,
but i will be here when you come back
to hear about the stories and fun you had.

I may not be millionaire that can lavish you with gifts,
but I will be here to shower you with my friendship
that will last throughout the years.

I may not be there to hold your hand
when you need to be consoled,
but i will here to listen to whatever you have to say
should you need someone to talk to.

I may not be there to share life's precious moments,
but I will be here to wish you all the best
and to root for your every little success.

I may not be there beside you
to dry the tears streaming down your cheeks,
but I will be here waiting for you
to comfort you and be with you.

I may not be a lot of things, but this much I can promise you.
I will be here for you...every moment...every day...
for as long as you want me to be.
What goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.




May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Every sunday, I'd take my lunch "early" and hear mass in Greenbelt chapel at 730pm to hear some priest who's homilies were always very enlightening and makes you really really think..kaya nga lang he left na last week...but good thing is that he recorded some of his homilies kaya I'd still be able to hear him when I buy his CDs. kewl.

"i'm not saying he's the one who got away ha! but its worth the read." from jean de leon


In your life, you'll make note of a lot of
people. Ones with whom you shared something
special, ones who will always mean something.
There's the one you first kissed, the one you
first loved, the one you lost your virginity to,
the one you put on a pedestal, the one
you're with... and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that
person with who(m)everything was great,
everything was perfect, but the timing was
just wrong. There was no fault in the person,
there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards
just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.

When you're not ready to commit in
that mature manner, it doesn't matter who(m)
you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems
become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers
simply because you're not ready and it shows.
It's not that you and the person you're with are
no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and
little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you're ready. You really are. And
when this happens you'll be ready to settle down
with someone. He or she may not be the most
perfect, they might not be the brightest star of
romance to ever have burned in your life, but
it'll work because you're ready. It'll work
because it's the right time and you'll make it
work. And it'll make sense.

So that day comes when you're finally making
sense of things, and you find yourself to be a
different person. Things are different, your
approach is different, you finally understand who
you are and what you want, and you've become
ready because the time has truly arrived.
There's no telling when this day will come.
Hopefully you're single but you could be in a
long-term relationship, you could be married with
three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is
that you've changed, and for some reason, the one
that got away, is the first person you think
about.

You'll think about them because you'll
wonder, "What if she/he were here today?" You'll
wonder, "What if we were together now, with me
as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one
that got away is. The biggest "Whatif?" you'll
have in your life.

If you're married, you'll just have to accept the
fact that the one that got away, got away.
No matter how fairy tale you think your marriage
is, this can happen to the best of us. But
hopefully you're mature enough to realize
that you're already with the one you're with and
this is just another test of your commitment, one
which will just strengthen your marriage when you
get past it.Sure, you'll think about him/her
every so often, but it's alright.It's never nice
to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who's
already married. In which case it's the same
thing. You just have to accept and know that your
memories of that person will probably bring a
nice little smile to your lips in the future when
you're old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it's
different. What do you do if it's not yet too
late? Simple... find him, find her. Because
the very existence of a "one that got away"
means that you'll always wonder, what if you got
that one?

It doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of
nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might
be "the one that got away" as well for the person
who is your "the one that got away."

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it
won't make a difference. If the timing is finally
right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and
you know, it would be a great feeling, in the end,
to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the
one that almost got away."

Adrian was not the one who got away. He was the one who went away. Carroll was the one who got away for me...sayang...if we could've just been stronger but alas....there really are some things not meant to be...

Times like these, this would be one of the best lines to read. It's a song from Barry Manilow -- "One of These Days".... Show his loss girl!!!

One of these Days
One of these very ordinary days
You're gonna call my name
And I won't be there

After the days
After these very very many days
You're gonna see the light
And I won't be there

And on that day
Somehow I'll find the stregth to stay away
I won't give in
I will not let myself be taken in... again
Oh no my friend

One of these days
Out of the blue you'll start remembering
And I won't care
'Cause I won't be there

Oh, and on that day
I swear I'll find the strength somehow to stay away
I won't give in
I will not let myself be taken in... again
Oh no my friend

That's what I say
That's what I tell myself... I won't give in
So try it someday
And you'll see that I won't be there
No, you know, no, I won't be there...

- Myls :o) -
