A Message on Life and Love

Anyone  who  has  gone through the agony of losing someone he loves so much
will  still  wish  against  all  odds  to  have  that  love back again. But
sometimes  a  love lost is a love gone forever. No amount of hope can bring
back  to  life  a relationship that just died a natural death. Set yourself
free, let your heart spread its wings and fly. Remember, it may rain for 40
days and 40 nights, but still it will not rain forever. One day the pouring
will stop and there will be plenty of branches where you can find rest.
 
One  of  these is where you will build your nest and start over again. It's
never  too  late.  You  may  find love and lose it, but when love dies, you
never  die with it. You cannot be a redeemer all your life. The best way to
weigh  a relationship is through the test of fire. You cannot be sober with
your mistake forever. We all fall and make wrong decisions but our blunders
are not meant to bury us deep in misery but to  teach  us  the  valued  lessons  of  life. 
Loving is always a learning
process.  With  love, we learn how to care and sacrifice.
We learn to share
and  reach  out.  We learn to be unselfish and give more than we can.
Then,
when  everything  doesn't  end well, we learn how it feels like to fall and
get hurt.
 
Learning  doesn't  have to end there. After our fall, we strive to get back
on our feet and move on. This is where we learn that life doesn't end where
our  heartaches  begin.  There's  no  future for a relationship of lies and
selfishness.  It's  true, there is life in love, but there can still be life
even after losing love if you leave the past behind and let your heart heal
and   give  you  the  chance  to  find  yourself  again.The  success  of  a
relationship  lies  not  only  in  the  beauty  of  its  beginning  but  in
its consistency.  Make  a  choice  not  on impulse but a decision based on a
healthy balance of mind and heart. Let us always remember that happiness is
not  a  matter of destiny but a matter of choice. There comes a time in our
lives  when  we  chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find
ourselves  getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon
becomes  a  part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts
and actions.
 
The  sad  part  of  it  is  when we begin to realize that this person feels
nothing  more for us than friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get
noticed  and  be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and
we  end  up being sorry for ourselves. You don't have to forget someone you
love,  what  you  need  to  learn  is  how to accept the verdict of reality
without  being bitter or sorry for yourself. You would be better off giving
that dedication and love to someone more deserving.
 
Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for
itself.  Listen  not  only  to  your feelings but to reason as well. Always
remember  that  if  you lose someone today, it means that someone better is
coming  tomorrow. If you lose love, it doesn't mean that you have failed in
love.  Cry  if  you have to but make sure that tears wash away the hurt and
the bitterness that the past left you with. Let goof yesterday and love will find its
way back to you, and when it does, pray
that it may be the love that will stay and
last a lifetime. A person on the
rebound  could  easily  fall  for  sweeping emotions
and be made to falsely
believe  that  he finally stumbled upon the right person.
When what he just
found is only someone to cover up for the love he lost.
A person who makes a
promise with words and not with actions may never live up to fulfill them.
 
 
It's true that love can wait forever but it is crazy to stubbornly hope for
someone who doesn't even care or understand how you feel. Love makes us see
the  things  through  rose-colored  glasses.  Most  of the time, we fail to
recognize  the  danger  sign  that light up along our way. This feeling you
have  nurtured for so long isn't healthy anymore. You must realize that you
have  to let go now before it consumes you and your sanity. There is always
a  time  to  think  and stop and a time to be sensible and not to allow our
hearts  to  rule over our heads. You deserve to be happy not in the arms of
someone  who keeps you waiting but in the arms of someone who will take you
now  and  love  you  forever. If loving a person who is attached to someone
else is a crime, then, maybe, many of us would have been jailed long before
we realize what its consequences could have been. Loving someone is never a
sin. It's what people do out of love that sometimes makes it all wrong. The
selfish desire to want that person is what makes it a sin. Don't think only
of your feelings for real love  doesn't have a place for selfish people.
 
When  there  is love, there are always sacrifices. When we love someone, we
never  easily  give  up on that person. Even if we get hurt badly we always
try  to  find  a  way to ease the pain and learn to understand and forgive.
Loving  too  much  doesn't  hurt.  It  is  when  we  expect this love to be
reciprocated that we begin to seek approval and acceptance of the things we
have done and when we are taken for granted and rejected, we curse the very
same  love  that  we once freely and happily offered. Don't waste your time
waiting  for  someone who never really cared about how you would have felt.
Open  your  heart  again  and  give yourself the chance to find the man who
would  make  loving  worth  the  pain and the sacrifice. Just like anything
else,  our  love  grows weak and dies, if not taken care of. It can keep up
with  pain  only  to  a certain extent. Beyond that, it withers without any
hope of recovery and soon dies.
 
Relationships  built  on  jealousy  and selfishness is doomed from the very
beginning.  The  hardest  part  of losing love is letting go and moving on.
Most  of  us  cry endlessly over things that could have been but never will
be.  In many failed relationships,separation comes as the inevitable choice
but  moving  on  always  proves  to  be  twice  as difficult as letting go.
Sometimes, our choice to hold on is beyond thecontrol  of  circumstances. 
Letting  go  is  a  decision that can never be
dictated on us.
 
It  is  resolution  we  make  to  ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new
beginning and time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its
fearful shadow, there will always be light after our darkness and loneliest
moments.  There  is  always a hope for those who believe. There is always a
chance for those who try.
 
Losing  someone  we  love  may  not be a loss at all but a blessing because
someone  even  more  deserving  is  yet  to come. There is nothing wrong in
expressing our feelings to someone we love, but we must always be sensitive
to  the  signals  that  tell  us when to rationalize and be sensible. There
comes a time in our lives when we would fall for someone who wouldn't be as
interested  as  we  are  because  his Attention is focused on someone else.
There  are  many times when we love but don't get love in return. There are
times  when  the  sign  ahead says stop but we still stubbornly head on. We
would  say  our  love is unconditional, but if it really is, then we should
never  feel bad. Question is why do we get frustrated when love turns sour?
Because  we  still  subconsciously  seek  acceptance and assurance from the
people  we  care  about.  Being  in love can be the most wonderful thing we
could experience but if the feeling begins to consume our whole being, then
we  have  to stop and let our minds and not our hearts dictate our actions.
Only  when  we  learn  to accept our fate and understand the meaning of our
failures  can  we truly go on with life without having to look back and cry
over the things that could have been but will never be.

FATE?

I took Dante's Inferno Test which is based on the description of Hell found in Dante's Divine Comedy. Based on my answers, purity will be judged and i will be banished to the appropriate level of hell. Fortunately I have not been banished to eternal damnation.  

Your fate has been decided....

You are one of the lucky ones! Because of your virtue and beliefs, you have escaped eternal punishment. You are sent to Purgatory!

Purgatory


You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven.

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

(
Level Who are sent there? Score
Purgatory Repenting Believers Very High
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers Low
Level 2 Lustful High
Level 3 Gluttonous Moderate
Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Low
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics Very Low
Level 7 Violent Low
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Low

Strength/ Conviction/



I WILL LOVE AGAIN

Did I ever tell you how you live in me Every waking moment, even in my dreams And if all this talk is crazy And you don't know what I mean Does it really matter, just as long as I believe I will love again, though my heart is breaking I will love again, stronger than before I will love again, even if it takes a lifetime to get over you, heaven only knows I will love again People never tell you the way they truly feel I would die for you gladly, if I knew it was for real So if all this talk sounds crazy And the words don't come out right Does it really matter, if it gets me through this night If i'm true to myself Nobody else can take the place of you But i've got to move on Tell me what else can I do I will love again
One day I know I will love again You can't stop me from loving again Breathing again Feeling again I know one day I'll love again

My Random Ramblings


In the past i would look at couples longingly, admiring how cute they were. how they seemed to have a world of their own. I had often asked myself why no guy courted me... im not stunningly beautiful but i cant be considered an ugly duckling either. My friends have often told me that the reason why guys wouldnt dare come near was because they seemed to think that they coudnt keep up with me, that they would seem inferior. I thought of acting dumb at one point, but then realized that if there was a guy for me that i need not have to lower my standards as the right one wouldnt be intimidated and would instead stand up to me... basically be a man.


I've been through a couple of relationships....played around, had flings, got into serious ones,  passed thru the "just friends" phase.... and through all these experiences, I've definitely learned a thing or two.


1. never get involved with someone whom you've never had an initial attraction to (sparks etc..)
   - clarify your feelings first whether or not you can see yourself being romantically linked or if you
     just think of him as a friend, saves you the trouble of breaking up.

2. be real  
   - if youre not the kind of gal who can eat "pungko-pungko" or be brought to a talipapa, then dont 
     pretend or act like its a regular thing as you will only be deceiving the other person. however
     don't also act like your a socialite if you arent. got that?

3. culture clash
   - although its good to have differences, it would be preferable if what you guys have in  
     common would outweigh those differences as you would compliment and understand each
     other better in the long run

4. rebound relationships don't work
   - self-explanatory (done this twice, and boy im still wondering at such stupidity)

5. Trust and Respect
   - two most important values in any relationship, without these love can never survive

6. always keep your sense of self-esteem
   - love yourself first before you can love someone else

7. leave if he doesnt walk with you or beside you
   - if he walks ahead of or behind you, its a sign that he's just not into you. a person who walks
     beside you is a guarantee that he will always be there for you through thick and thin, plus he's
     proud of you.

8. talk, communicate, and listen
   - dont keep things bottled up inside, it only eats at your soul. if you have something to say, then
     just say it, atleast you'll know the real score. listen without butting in, this in itself is an act that
     shows that you care about your partner and you'll be amazed at how much you'll learn.

9. steer clear of people who are antagonists to your relationship
   - people may or may not approve of your relationship and you can't please everyone...As long as
     your not doing harm well to hell with them, its not them that youre having a relationship with!
     however ... quoutation by ady dear "you sometimes may need a third party to wake you up"...
     this is applicable if you've been living the life of a martyr.

10. Grapevine
   - you may hear half truths and whole lies, in short "chismis". This is in line with lesson no. 8. If
     you have any doubts, dont make snap judgements or believe anything you hear until you've had
     an actual chance to talk with the person and hear their side of the story. always be rational
     and fair.

11. Acknowledge
   - admit if you have faults or have done any misdeeds. if you 
have a clear conscience and know
     that you have not done anything wrong then dont worry. If he refuses to believe you then he's not
     worth it. You might think that this is pride but, look back at lesson no. 5, a relationship should
     be built on trust and respect. If he also admits his faults, then forgive, fand learn.

12. Be understanding but not tooo understanding
   - understand that he might not be there for you 24/7, the guy has a life of his own, besides he isnt

     your shadow after all. If he says he's busy with work, then believe him. However, if he doesnt
     show up at times when you need him, and comes up with silly excuses, hellooo....wake up, he
     doesnt value you at all because if he did, then no matter how busy he may be, he will always
     make time or find the time for you. And what i do know about guys is that if they really feel for
     the girl, they make her their # 1 priority.

13. Introductions
   - its not easy for men to actually introduce a girl to his co-workers, friends and family as his
     girlfriend, but when he does this, it means that he is sincere and proud of her. Thing is when a  
     guy introduces you as his girlfriend its a sign for everyone to know their place, so everyone
     would respect you since they know that if they dont, they wouldnt be respecting him as well.
     however if you've been together for sometime and he still hasnt acknowledged you as such,  well
     then girl, start packing. You deserve better than that, every woman deserves to have someone
     who will have no qualms in shouting out to the world that "this gal is mine and im the luckiest
     guy in the world."

14. Fight for your love
   - if you truly love that person, and sincerely believe that he/ she is the one 
then fight for him/her...
     you can triumph against all odds with faith and guidance. but also learn to recognize when
     enough is enough. if he/she isnt willing to fight for you or for the relationship, then learn to let go.
     to be committed is a two way street, both have  to work for it, compromise, give and take,it
     should never be one sided. If there comes a point when this happens, try working things out and
     talk about it but if in the end it still falls apart, accept it graciously, move on, let it be.

Sablay na Hirit


I've been working for  the company for quite sometime now, and its always fun to look back at  the mistakes me and my batchmates made during our "neophyte" days on the floor. Who said that working in a call-center can't be any fun? Check-out our bloopers, definitely hilarious. ;-)

favorite line #2: thank you so much for calling to you

favorite line #3: i'm breaking up on you,too ( uuuuy! boyfriend-girlfriend mo?)

favorite line #4: well first, can i have your first and last name first?...ok for that one...you first have to save an itinerary first... ( this guy's favorite word must be "first')

"what is the passenger?  "bwahahaha!!! a cow,ma'm!  hehehe!

"How far did your day went so far?" O di ba, LUPIG SILA FOR LIFE!!! Hehehe J

ADY


Work can be so draining at times that i find it a comfort going out after work and having a good cup of coffee or tea and making kwento.  And so every Wednesday after shift I always go out with Adylicious to chill-out and I've dubbed it "Wednesdays with Ady". Lately though it seems to have become Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with Ady...hehe.


 



Ay nako, this girl is lingaw to talk to and she has so many interesting things, and she just starts saying things out of the blue. And she's the best person to have a debate with cause she makes a lot of sense. Ady my coffee buddy, walkathon partner, and a freaking good friend.

Encouragement


Never Forget



Your presence is a gift to the world,
You're unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be -
Take it one day at a time.

Count your blessings, not your troubles,
And you'll make it through what comes along.
Within you are so many answers,
Understand, have courage, be strong.

Don't put limits on yourself,
Your dreams are waiting to be realized.
Don't leave your important decisions to chance -
Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying -
The longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
Don't take things too seriously -
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way -
Remember that a lot goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life's treasures are people... together.

Have health and hope and happiness,
Take the time to wish on a star.
And don't ever forget for even a day...
How very special YOU are!

TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

There was a time in my life when I became afraid to fall in love because every time I fell in love, I got hurt. I thought maybe that's why it's called falling in love. I would give my all, loving deeply and wholeheartedly. It would be a truly emotional and euphoric experience. I would be dreaming about the object of my affection day and night, imagining good times together, thinking of what I can do or buy for him to show how much I care. I would feel light, energized and excited, blooming with the joy I feel inside. Then somehow, something would go wrong and my whole world crash.

Disappointed...Resentment...Anger...Pain...Why? Can we not love without feeling pain? Is it really a price to pay for all the happiness we feel when we're i! n love? It was only after doing some  soul searching and reading inspirational writings that I realized that we could love without getting hurt. Only recently did I understand what unconditional love is all about.

Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It is the fire that burns inside, the essence of being. It is a precious gift that defines our purpose in life. If we keep in mind that we can indeed preserve its true meaning, we can love to the fullest and be truly happy. Accept the fact that other people express their love differently. How do you express love? You say, "I love you three times a day." You kiss and embrace as often as you can. You never forget anniversaries. You always prepare his favorite dishes. How does he express love? He rarely says," I love you." He seldom kisses you. He forgets your birthday and he doesn't know how to cook. But he works overtime, walks the dog, takes on the ga! rbage, takes you to the movies and calls you "Hon, Dear, Baby, Darling." He probably loves you more than you can imagine. He just shows it differently. If you can accept that then you will have a healthier perspective of your relationship. Derive happiness from giving love. When you love, do it because you want to. Just give it and cherish the satisfaction in having given someone something of yourself. It's like giving a gift whether it is appreciated or not, find joy in simply giving.

Love without expecting anything in return. Pain comes in when you demand something in return for the love you give. You are setting yourself up for disappointment. Love cannot always be reciprocal. Love between two people can never be of the same intensity at the same time and place. No matter how much your partner loves you, he will never fill all your needs all the time and you will be waiting in misery forever if you believe you should love only when you ! are sure to receive equal love in return. Love now. The past is gone and the future is just a dream. All of yesterday's aches and pains, as well as the loves and laughter, are mere memories. Let them go. Fantasies and worries are for a future that may never come. Don't dwell on them. Live now. Give love now. Do it and enjoy it now. Throw away those destructive habits. When you insist upon yourself that you always have to be in control, that you always have to be right, that others must always please you, you put yourself in a very tight spot. Loving relationships are flexible, dynamic and evolving. Leave room now for a change interaction. Allow for new behavior and learning experiences. When we welcome these in our lives, we open ourselves to sharing more love and affection and less frustration and pain. Yes, you will say unconditional love is easier said than done especially when we have always believed that love is give and take but believe that love is simply giving and you will be surprised that a lot of it, even more, actually comes back to you.

Love is a gift. If you're given this gift, try to appreciate it and share it with others. If you haven't been yet, do not be in a hurry to love somebody... because God is still wrapping that special gift for you. Happiness begins from within. If we can't tolerate being alone, it's more likely that we haven't found happiness yet......

Pain

The greatest pain in life
is not to die, but to be ignored.

To lose the person you love so
much to another who doesn't care at all.

To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...
and not tell you about it.

When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.

To have people think that you don't care.

The greatest pain in life,
is not to die,
but to be forgotten.

To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.

To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".

When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.

For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to lift your spirits.

When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
is you.

Life is full of pain,
but does it ever get better?

Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?

Each of us has a part to play
in this great show we call life.

Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them.

If you do not care about your friends
you will not be punished.

You will simply be ignored...
forgotten...
