Define L-O-V-E

"Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility. It is therefore able to undertake all things, & it completes many things, & warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down.Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not. Though weary, it is not tired; though pressed, it is not straitened; though alarmed, it is not confounded."

- I forgot where I got this quote. It has a nice message though.

Wala Nang Hahanapin Pa (APO Hiking Society)

Mayroon siyang estilong kanya lamang
Ang kanyang pagkababae ang dinadahilan
Pagsubok sa pag-ibig walang katapusan
'Di naman daw nagdududa, naniniguro lang.

Ewan ko ba ngunit kahit ganyan siya,
Minamahal ko siya, wala nang hahanapin pa.
Kahit ano'ng sabihin ng iba, minamahal ko siya,
Wala nang hahanapin pa.

'Di raw nagseselos ngunit nagbibilang
ng oras 'pag ako'y ginagabi
At biglang maamo 'pag may kailangan
'Pag nakuha na ikaw ay itatabi.

Ewan ko ba ngunit kahit ganyan siya,
Minamahal ko siya, wala nang hahanapin pa.
Kahit ano'ng sabihin ng iba, minamahal ko siya,
Wala nang hahanapin pa.

'Di magpapatalo 'pag mayroong alitan.
'Di aamin ng mali, magbabagong isip lang.

Ewan ko ba ngunit kahit ganyan siya,
Sinasamba ko siya,
Minamahal ko pa,
Walang kaduda-duda,
Wala nang hahanapin pa. 

* Sana ganun na lang. Yung tanggap ang lahat kahit mali sa pagkatao mo. Ikaw na yun, wala nang iba.  

Quote by Buddha

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. – Buddha

Good Question

"How much of ourselves should we be willing to sacrifice for the other person before we stop being ourselves?"

Gustav Klimt's The Kiss

"The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)

Look at this picture and let it explain to you the love you're feeling now. I can see the passion, the intensity, the bond the couple have while they kiss... even if they are at the edge of the cliff.

I think the act of love should be like that: passionate and real... even if sometimes you find yourself close to the edge but still won't let go.

The Sad kind of Sad

The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when Sad tries to bite its lip and not cry and smile and go, “No, I’m happy for you?” That’s when it’s really sad.

Top 3 Lessons

Give and don't expect.

Advise, but don't order.

Ask, but never demand.

Thanks guys

I'm young and I still have alot to learn about relationships.

Double Up *sigh*

“As much as I hate this break up, I have to say I love this break-up, because it feels like something many of us have been through, when we realize that the one thing you’re not getting in a relationship is just as important to you as the hundred things you are getting.”

*sigh*

"Words and hearts should be handled with care... for words when spoken and hearts when broken are the hardest things to repair."

Happy Mother's Day

How I wish someone would greet me a Happy Mother's Day.

... the nurturing side in me aches.

Forgiveness

I got this from my retreat group On Fire. Someone from the group sent this and is looking for an answer. I guess each and everyone is wondering until when do you have to forgive someone.:

"How come, when you try to hold on and pick up yourself,

something or someone will keep trying to pull you down.

When your painful past happens to you the second time around,

the weight becomes too heavy because you are not yet completely healed.

Something that I learned - God said, forgive those who have sinned againts you...

But how many times do you have to forgive and experience being crushed?"

Wedding Photographer

I was at a photoshoot earlier and I asked the photographer how is the wedding photography business for him. He said business is good but not much wedding this May (since it's the elections?). And he told me if I plan to get married, I should get married now while prices are still low. Equipment, venue, food and even the photographer are starting to get expensive.

He said an average budget for a wedding of 200 pax is about 600K. I choked on that one. In my head I'm only thinking of 100 people for a church wedding. Just a simple yet elegant wedding, with friends and family me and my future husband are close to and knows us well. Anyway that price is a shocker.

Hmm.. I wonder if it's more economical to just live together with your partner than get married?

Woman

"Whatever u give a woman,she will make it greater. Give her sperm, she will give u a baby. Give her a house, she will give u a home. Give her groceries, she will give u a meal. Give her a smile and she will give u her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what she is given. So if u give her crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit."

New Term

Okay I just read it in a magazine and it mentioned "vanilla sex". I got curious and checked wikipedia.net about it. Found out it means conventional sex. It may seem weird but the term "vanilla sex" tickles me somewhat. Maybe because it's a new term I just found out?

And then there's Marquis de Sade. I've seen a book he wrote long ago and now I can't remember the title. Anyway it's just some wandering thoughts.

I want, I want, I want

I want a place of my own. I want to own house but I want it to be just right for 2 or 3 people to live in. Not too big, not too small. Just right.

I want a career where I can still have time for myself, to do the things I want to do. And a career I can be proud of.

I want kids. Okay, I used to want kids (with a capital S). Now, I'm not so sure if I want to have any children at all. 

.... Okay maybe just one.

I want a dog. A small dog. Not a tiny one but I can still carry it whenever I want to. I want a dog who obeys only me.

I want to travel by myself. I'll only bring a camera and leave the place with memories.

I want security in my life. 

I want a wedding. Just a simple wedding with only select people who means to me and my future husband. I want a wedding... I'm just not so sure about the marriage part.

I want to grow in a relationship.

I want to be successful. I want to achieve the point in my life where I can say I am happy and satisfied. Then I would want my life to end at that moment where I am happy and satisfied. 

I want inspiration. Rather, I NEED an inspiration. I haven't been inspired lately.

I want to cuddle with my best girl friends. I want to have the Sex and the City moments...

I want friends who will stay. Friends I can still relate to, communicate with, bond with. Even if I'm far away.

... So many things to want to have. My world is getting smaller, and my life is getting a bit shorter and monotonous. I want something new.

Event lang yan. No pressure.

Napansin ko lang, grabe ko pala manlait pag napapansin kong hindi pamilyar ang isang tao kung paano ba mag event ang isang IT company. Simple preparations lang, para ka lang nagplano ng isang birthday party pero daming hindi naiisip. 

Well, iba lang talaga siguro yung mga experience ko. At meron din namang mga bagay na hindi ko rin alam. Ego tripping lang siguro to.
