Is there a measurement for Love? Share

What if, someone will ask you....How much do you love me?....how do you answer this question? Honestly, it's not that easy...We like to measure everything. How do you measure love? Yes, we can measure love. We often we say 'he does not love me' or, 'loves me more than anyone else'. We do that depending on our response to certain expectations. It does not matter what the other person meant but what we felt is how love is measured.

Real love is Giving

We can express love in giving only. Sentiments and words can mean very little. However, actions speak not just louder than words but that is the only language love speaks. Only actions can prove the extent of love.

How do we measure the love of a mother, father, brother, sister, friends or a spouse?

Have you ever given it a thought? The love of a true mother from the time you are an infant to the time either she dies or you die never wavers, it is always sacrificing.

Love does not mean anything when you say I love you

They are empty words. When you pack it with action, it talks and you can measure. When you say, 'I will clean, wash and cook this week' to your wife, it is love in action. When the wife says, 'I have made your favorite roast beef today' it is love in action.

Nature of love is to help

Flowers and cards have sentimental value only. Only actions can mean love. The nature of love is to help another person. Any help from some one is a gesture of love.

Compassion mercy or kindness will trigger love. Nevertheless, they all stem from the character of love.

Love gets into action when it sees a need. It does not ask what is in it for me. That is what greed does. Many christian websites and ministries will fall into this category.

Love is a verb in action

Love is not a noun. Feeling, thinking, crying, or laughing cannot express love. Action alone can express love. Jesus asked Peter, 'Do you love me?' Then he said, 'Feed my sheep'.

Jesus also said if you love me, you would do what I say. Do is the key word here. Do is not feelings or writing a love poem. Do is action. Faith without works is dead. I do you say you love me when you do not things I tell you to do. Do Christian websites and ministries love you?
Love always sacrifices

Therefore, God's love is immeasurable because he has done so much we cannot measure all that he has accomplished for us in living us. Love in action is what God's character and being is.

Remember love always sacrifices. Without pain or sacrifice, there is absolutely no love in action. Love cannot be measured without actions. Faith without works is dead, so is love without actions.

The measure of love is when you love with out measure. in life there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love and love you in return. so when you have it now never ever let it go, the chance might never come your way back again....
Love them without measure. Love them to LIFE...

what are the components of Love?

The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: 1) To return love for hate; 2) To include the excluded; and 3) To say 'I was wrong....


In a relationship, there are common components that we should be awaRe of:

1. Trust – this the most important in a relationship near or far from each other – trust should be always keep for a relationship to work out.
-Trust is both and emotional and logical act. Emotionally, it is where you expose your vulnerabilities to people, but believing they will not take advantage of your openness. Logically, it is where you have assessed the probabilities of gain and loss, calculating expected utility based on hard performance data, and concluded that the person in question will behave in a predictable manner. In practice, trust is a bit of both. I trust you because I have experienced your trustworthiness and because I have faith in human nature.
-So learn about trust, how it works and how to build it.

2. Honesty – being honest for each other is one way and best ingredients too. Our trust is basically part of being honest.

3. Responsibility – you should know your responsibility for each other.Whatever happens, take responsibility and be responsible!

4. Compliments – one components is make an effort to compliment to each other even in a very small and simple way....nice things said about someone.

5.Loyalty -is so vital for a man because he has experienced. loyalty is so crucial to a man because he learned from a deeper consciousness....There is much more to love than loyalty. But there is no love without loyalty. The actions of consistent loyalty in acting for the good of others, often involvng one's own pain, is a kind of masculine love that needs to be honored. It is not flowery. It involves more action that emotion. In fact, the action often needs a focus that precludes much emotion. Loyalty is a connection between human beings that creates community.

So these are some of it, well I am not perfect , nobody does but 100% guaranteed that this will work out..

...A Prayer for Marie Antoinette H. Yco, on her 1st death Anniversary (March 11,1986-Nov. 26,2008) ....

On the 26th of November 2009, We remember with thanksgiving and sorrow our beloved MARIE ANTOINETTE H. YCO ...it's her first death anniversary....i'm invitiing all of her friends, colleagues, our relatives and those who were close to her to say a prayer....if you guys have time on thursday, we will be having a mass/ prayer for Toni at 10am in our house...you may pm me for details.....and we will be very thankful for any effort you can extend for our dear Toni...a prayer will do...but your presence is better..... 'He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.' ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry As they say, death is God's last and greatest gift to the living.....The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity....Is death the last sleep? No - it is the last and final awakening...Let us all understand that death is not an eraser. It does not remove the deeds or the meanings that existed in anyone's life. It does not make poor men rich or great men fallible. And when death comes, let us not romanticize its presence nor the person it takes from us. Let us see death for what it really is: a border that we all must cross; a border that, more than any other, defines the lives we are able to lead. Do not mourn for those who cross over. Rather, reflect on the definition they've left behind. It is the only truth we are able to know here on earth. When the definition is great, then celebrate it. When it is lacking, then learn from it and improve on it. And use it to make your own definition more truthful and loving and miraculous.


I would like to share this poem about reminiscin'....

Remembrance

Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain. To have, to love, and then to part Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things But some they wipe out never. Like memories of those happy times When we were all together. ~ (Author unknown)


...I miss my sister...but i know she's in heaven now and with our Almighty God... May you rest in peace sis! We love you so much.... Till we meet again....

ToXic???? iS iT LoVe ReaLLy?

For all you people who say 'I love you' when you have no clue what love is exactly!!! Something to ponder upon..... *Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and is your voice caught within your chest?? -It isn't love, it's LIKE. *You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right?? -It isn't love, it's LUST. *Are you proud, and eager to show them off?? -It isn't love, it's LUCK. Do you want them because you know they're there?? -It isn't love, it's LONELINESS. Are you there because it's what everyone wants?? -It isn't love, it's LOYALTY. Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?? -It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE. Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them?? -It isn't love, it's PITY. Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?? -It isn't love, it's INFATUATION. Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?? -It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP. Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?? -It isn't love, it's a LIE. Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake?? -It isn't love, it's CHARITY. Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?? -Then it's LOVE. Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?? -Then it's LOVE. Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?? -Then it's LOVE. Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there?? -Then it's LOVE. Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?? -Then it's LOVE. Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?? -Then it's LOVE. Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?? -Then it's LOVE. Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so, why do we love? Why is it all we search for in life? This pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for? This torture, this powerful death of self? Why? The answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE. It is such an addictive thing that even people who are not having it wish to experience it and share it with others as well.

ReASoN, a SeaSon or A LiFeTiMe???!!!

To teach is to touch for a lifetime.... Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime? Pay attention to what you read. Because people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON. It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on. When people come into your life for a SEASON it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relation-ships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life. Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one is watching (and I know you do). "To Whom Much is Given, Much is Required"

Am i good Driver of my Life?

We are faced w/ hundreds of choices everyday and the choices we make today will determine what kind of future we will have.
I always question myself, why wouldn't i decide for myself? I seem to be a prisoner all my Life. I couldn't make the choices for myself. It's always parent's decision. Correction, my mothers'. Fine, oblige….it's my duty…... yet, for now. It's really frustrating and disappointin that I am choosing a way that seems easier but is ultimately more painful…. We don't have a clue how our choices will affect others and might come out of the decisions we make. Whether w/c factor u must or should choose or love just bcoz ur parent told you not to continue loving her…. Obey or oblige? Well, these have the same meaning ....I really don't have a choice…... and i am so sorry...sorry for myself and apologize for the people affected. It's sucks! but in the future i will have a u-turn for it....and prove that i'm a good driver of my own life than my passengers...
It's all about choices!

WELCOME TO MY LIFE (Simple Plan)

SIMPLE PLAN LYRICS

Welcome To My Life


Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

"Every Little Thing"

Let me in
to see you in the morning light
to get me on and all along the tears they come
see all come
I want you to believe in life
but I get the strangest feeling that you've gone away
will you find out who you are too late to change?
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
some times

lift me up
just lift me up don't make a sound
and let me hold you up before you hit the Ground
see all come
you say your all right
but I get the strangest feeling
that you've gone away- you've gone away
and will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted
all the time
some times

Don't give me up
don't give me up tonight
or soon nothing will be right at all
salvation
will you find out who you are too late to change?

I wish I could be
every little thing you wanted

Tweets of a Korean about Philippines as a 3rd world monkey island

Ugly Yu Bin, the Korean who keeps on tweeting profane language over Filipinos....
her tweets include....

-"Now you're choking and suffocating like a 3rd world monkey! Now the world's a better place, minus a 3rd world Filipino like u!"
-"Gave you a bar of soap and shampoo, ur so 3rd world stupid u didn't know what to do, so you took a bite of that soap and drank that shampoo"
-"U were always scared of water now there's a typhoon, and never learned how to swim, take a shower or properly groom"
-"tired of being 3rd world poor even worse you're Filipino, you eat with ur monkey hands because you never seen a spoon b4"
-"I hope it keeps raining and die in floods like those filipino monkeys ;-)"

.....For the record, twitter's admin suspended the account of this Filipino-hater Korean.... Whatever her intentions over us Filipinos well, God will judge her. It's proper that she used a username that speaks her inner attitude. She showed a very disrespectful act. Filipinos are suffering here but she's like a devil who keeps on laughing that people underwent the tragedy. I don't know who exactly is this UGLY YU BIN, but there are a lot of Koreans here, she must not act nor show rudeness...I pity her for divulging such crap....

A Tragic Weekend (Sept. 26,2009)

September 25,Friday afternoon was a great time to check the new condo units of Marquinton at Marikina. We were assisted to see the model type units of the said residence; it was a nice and cozy place I should say. After checking, the agent discussed of course the price of the domicile, but I had second thoughts of purchasing a unit because I know that the area isn’t a flood-free zone. Before we go home to Montalban, we made a way to buy some food at a nearby grocery beside Blue wave. Then off we went home right after the errands purchasing basic necessities. The rain poured when we headed home I guess it was around 5:30 or 6pm. So home we went, it was an evening of wet and wild. The rain never stopped, well I thought it was the usual rainy day season and we missed hearing the news that night. After dinner, I talked to my Lola in her room; she said something like “the most powerful part of our lives is SACRIFICE”. I and my cousins were laughing coz our Lola uttered words in a comical way, we usually mimic. So tired and wasted we were dozed off to bed. Unable to catch even the late night news, but we were aware of the coming storm.

Relaxed and sleepy Saturday morning, the rain poured so hard. Well, I thought it was normal because a storm will pass the area and the residents of the village are not bothered by the situation or should I say “sanay na kasi”. Composed and comfy at bed because it was cold, too lazy to stand up. My mom was making a noise and shouting me to get up, pack my things. So, I peep at the window and saw the water’s rising but it was only at an ankle level so I wasn’t troubled about the situation. What I did was, I lay down the bed again because I was too timid to get up and open my eyes. The condition of the rain was alarming when I heard commotion, so I got up and verified what was going on. I saw the residents looking at the right side of the village and I was in awe when I adage the water got in the subdivision, it was in knee level already. My mom and tita was getting ready to pack things, situate the appliances at a higher level. I felt terrified about the situation. Many things flashed my mind, so many questions popped up - what if we don’t have any place to go to? What if no one would rescue us? Fear was the only feeling inject my body but I don’t want my family be affected by the situation so, I pretended to be calm. So serene I act, but deep inside me I was praying for survival. In a matter of minutes, the knee level water went up to waistline scene. So I assist my mom to walk towards our neighbor’s 3 storey-house, yes, we evacuated. I return home to get the important papers and things I have, the water went up rising to chest level. I fought the dread I’m having, so I walked the path with mudflow level increasing up. At last, reached the neighbor’s house. Quickly went straight up the second floor, checking if everybody was there. Thank God everyone in my family was safe. That point in time, I was so confused and full of panic. I don’t know whom to call aside from God of course. I called Joan first but she didn’t answer the phone. I thought of calling my friend Clarisse, just the same, no answer rendered. Finally, I called Carol, luck came and hope rose on my part when I heard her “hello” it was a relief to perceive sound of her voice. I asked her to seek help in anyway she can because we were stranded and the water is continuously elevating in our vicinity. I even asked her to call Joan at their land phone and wake her up. There she called Joan, and the latter return to call me. I was crying while talking to Joan. I told her to seek out help. She extended her effort to text and search for aid. I had my share of tachycardia that moment, palpitations tripled. It never occurred my mind to experience such incident at my lola’s place it was the first time. My friends try to find help. But, no one bothered rescuing us. We stayed up at our neighbor’s house until Monday afternoon because the house must be clean before returning home. The mudflow emits a foul odor plus the fact it causes skin irritation for some people.

Returning home wasn’t as easy as I think it was. It rendered paranoia on every people to stay up late and check if it would rain, and might cause flood again. Disturbance was part of our system that time in coordination with trauma; it was a very abnormal feeling pumping my circulatory and nervous system.

To make it short, Typhoon Ondoy not only damage but caused distress to people who were affected of its might. It does not only take away the properties and wealth of the people but also the memories of the place they’re living…… were washed away….. Forever. It left a scar.

God only sent a message to each and every one of us. Let us not be a worldly being. We forget to pray, most of the people are worshiping money, thinks of the expensive things they wanted to get hold of, that would make them rich and proud. Don’t be materialistic! Nature’s reprisal can take it all away in a snap …. Plus, we harm our nature, there are those who cut trees and quarry mountains to make it a commercial area. They don’t even think of the consequences it will bring us. Mother Nature is just making her revenge, only divulging a message to stop the injuries we’re creating to our environment. I hope this will be a lesson to us. Pray not only because we need help, but thank God that we survived and still living in His will.

For 32 years of my life, I must say, I’ve been through a lot, but still standing strong. I experienced Mount Pinatubo eruption in the 90’s. Our house submerged by the volcanic debris emitted by the aforementioned volcano, it took us a month or so to overcome the catastrophe. I’m just saying, no tragedy will hinder us from prevailing over. Just pray and have Faith in Him. No matter what the mishap we are having, God will not send a situation that we can’t control of. He is just testing our faith. I think we have to make a modification. That alteration must start within us, as Michael Jackson’s song pronounces….” I’m gonna make a change for once in my life….its gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right………. I’m starting with the Man in the mirror…I’m asking if he change his ways….and no message could have been any clearer, if you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself and MAKE A CHANGE…..”

Typhoon Ondoy made a clear message that we have to increase devotion. We may lack precious stuffs but for me, the vital part of our lives is Faith. God is our Savior, be not afraid to undergo disaster, we have certain calling. It’s knowing God more deeply and discovering how He works in us.

I just want to thank the Velasco family for the accommodation in their house. I even told my mom that I remembered the story about Noah’s Ark. It was the same as the house we stayed in for several days; it was built and just finished just a week before Ondoy’s arrival. It was a blessing in disguise I must say. The 3 storey house served as an ark for me and the rest that were saved during typhoon Ondoy’s influx. I reflect and assume what happened last Saturday was fate from God. We could all have died because everybody wasn’t ready of the calamity’s outcome. It was a surprise and never could we imagine the end product it brought us. Not all were saved nor all died. It was bound to happen. I remembered, when I was young, I watched a documentary, a prediction to be exact. It was from Nostradamus, his prophecies includes the calamities of the future and it retained information in my thoughts which up to now I reminisce once in a while though his forecast were accurate and came true. If only I still have the copy of the tape I may tell and share his conjectures to everyone. It was a warning for me after learning his predictions and became a guide on events happening be it a calamity or victory. It was a pattern of events he saw the future and is now happening. He even mentioned the end of the world what year to be exact.

I don’t want to elaborate and transport Goosebumps to everybody. I just want to impart that in all aspects, don’t forget to pray not just to request help but also be appreciative to God. Thank Him everyday! He is our creator and savior! Trust Him with all your heart.

-my pain-

Guys, 2008 wasn't exactly the best year for me, truth of the matter.... got frustrated in varying levels on some aspects of my life. My loved ones passed away... But on the upside, it brought a few "good" people into my life.....- people and friends- that i would like to keep in a small box marked "SPECIAL", under heavy lock and key. Well, thank you for making my life more colorful, more interesting and very much worth living...

but, 2009 had been a life changing year for me.... blessings poured me left and right... i hope this will continue to outgrow for this year..... God is so Good! He gave an obstacle but he will help you lift up your life during the struggle moments of it... and even aid you to shine after the rain poured.....Every little thing has a purpose we may not know now....but surely it'll make us different but definitely stronger than ever!!!

As they say,"In life, you will realize that the people you meet have a purpose... Some were put there to TEST you, some would USE you, some would TEACH you and some would BRING OUT the best in you.... Some may CAUSE YOU PAIN but you'll learn to move on (like i did!). So let go of the people who can't treat you right and hold on to those who love you back and see your worth...." and i hope you'll know very well the person you're with... cause in the end there will have a sudden change and its shocking that you'll feel the pain that they'll give you....very disappointing and unexpected...

**To those people who've been good to me all these years, a BIG THANKS!!!

*****To those who BROKE my HEART and even tried to UNNERVED me, THANKS anyway.... I know, everything happens for a reason and whatever that is... i leave it all up to GOD....

***To those who hated me, or maybe in a way cursed me, THANKS... You made me realized that i'm way too good beyond my imperfections...

*To those whom i got offended in anyway, I'm SORRY

This is me....

LOVE me.....

HATE me....

I'm just being me

As 2010 is fast approaching, i'm sure it looks very promising. And i wish that we all get our fair share the pie of happiness, LOVE and contentment....

TrAnQuiLiTy...

Well, moving on.....
This year, I really said to myself,
Wow, this is life and i'm having fun! Touching the lives of people and showing the way of Christianity is always something worth smiling at the end of the day!..... It is to always say, I live as a Christian and thus proud to be labeled
so!
This coming year is also very crucial to me. I don't want to repeat the mistake of this year, counting the months and waiting till the month's leap. I'm going to have a very big move this year, both spiritual and secular. I have a big faith in a big God. I could also say that the LORD hath blessed me so much that I couldn't ask for more. He had used my life in His own way even if I am not choosing His way. He had granted me favor wherever I go, all because of His mercies and grace. He had opened paths and doors I wouldn't have entered with my stubborn will and frailties. The LORD is truly a loving Guide and a loving God! So, despite the slandering and persecution, who would dare say I'm abandoned, forsaken and maltreated? It is the LORD who fights for me, not for my sake, but for His Name's sake!

O LORD, show forth Your glory; that the heathen may know there is a God! Do you love Jesus? Do you truly love Jesus above all these? Do you love Him? Then follow Him.

-Something to ponder-

....Sometimes, aLL we need in Life is to tell whatever it is that we have inside..... We just need to let it out and then let it go......

....Whatever the consequences-->> we have to be brave enough to stand up with our feelings. No one said Life is easy, but we should not make it a lot harder...... besides, life is too short. So, do what your heart tells you....

---->>> STOP THINKING.....
---->>> STOP WORRYING...

****just keep this in mind:
"You might not Have a SECOND CHANCE--- So, spill it out and embrace the RESULT."

My Catastrophic 2008...but a blessed 2009...

Looking at the last date in the calendar of 2008, really got me thinking.....
the new friends i met...
the old ones that i miss....
People i LOST....
tears shed....
conversations shared.......
all these memories carved in my life, gave something to look back at....
To Learn from....
2008 had been very tragic on my part, especially losing someone very dear is hard to embrace but i know.... My Lolo and my SISTER (Marie Antoinette Yco) are with our Almighty God.....
I learned that LIFE, is actually an Echo..... You'll always get back what you throw...
and i discovered that people show their "true color" in times of trials.... they may be different and i mean ohh so odd especially judging a person without an evidence.... and i thought BLOOD is THICKER than Water...... but then again... BLOOD Stinks than Water!!!!......
I lift all my tribulations and Blessings to God.... and i pray that "Some of my RELATIVES" would come to think that They Are not perfect nor even close to perfect! and money can't buy or compromise EVERYTHING!!!!

I hope this year would be a lot different....
yes, it was... 2009 brought a lot of different but not so tragic scene in my life... as the last quarter of the year approaches, i hope more blessings will come. I have reasons to abhor some of the reactions of people around me when it comes to my personal aspect, yes all have the right to comment but doesn't have the right to put me on fire! I have my own mind to rule me, and has my very own heart to choose who i will love.But, the sad part is....i can't struggle over my parents' i'm afraid to loose them, also doesn't want my love to let go.... I'll hold on til the end and i'm hoping i'll do my part 'til the end. I know assurance is the what you're askin', as they say, "Promises are made to be broken" but i hope i will not. Trust is the key...


In times you're sad about what's going on with your life, just remember one PERMANENT FACT:
Everything Changes, Tomorrow might be different...

This is for ReaL....

-it was fun chasing an illusion. It gave me reason to be happy even if it wasn't real. But any chance surely has to end. I'm just disappointed cause when it end it was left with nothing but a memory of something that never existed....

-being with someone doesn't guarantee happiness... Finding your other half does. It doesnt matter how long you've been alone, how long you've hoped or how long you've waited. There's no such thing as a perfect love story. Heartaches will always be a part of loving. But remember- though not perfect- if that love is meant for you, it will stick with you till the end. No matter how tough it gets, no matter how long....

Far from perfect ---but REAL.

now, im holding not just an illusion.... this is for real... a reality in my pocket that bursts around me and now, it's raining with sparkles on my whole being... though before,i stumbled and fall... now i stood up to prove everyone that they were wrong!!! i really made it through the rain!!! i know GOD really Blessed me....and He gave me someone i wanted the most!.... Amen!

What i know now.....

My blog has been part of my sanity, where I can be myself and express my thoughts. It’s therapy, really, especially for people who loves to write. You just have to get it out, otherwise you’ll explode!

Having a small space on the World Wide Web gives me all the creative freedom I crave for "it’s sharing a part of yourself with the world.”

I just want to divulge a moment of my life where, I sat down in a cushy chair, closed my eyes and got real quiet. The assignment I’d given myself was to let my memories float into my mind of situations I’d change from my growing-up years if I’d known then what I know now. For each memory that surfaced, I hoped to get some learning, some of the memories that flashed didn’t surprised me, but others did --- events I hadn’t thought of a long time.

I can now see that in each of my experiences, I was holding back love, either for myself or someone else. But it’s not about the “mistakes” I made; it’s about learning from them that counts….

Do you know the reason behind why nobody’s perfect?? It’s because of LOVE. We’re all destined to love an imperfect person. Our mission is to fill each other’s emptiness. It’s nice to know the fact that you love someone behind his imperfections. Love hears all things, no one can hinder….. and there’s no perfect reason why you love a certain person…. That’s LOVE……

As the saying goes’ “To love is not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”

With my heightened awareness, I closed my eyes again, went back to each scene, and changed the endings, using what I know now. I opened my eyes and felt grateful for the learning. I now know that with each new situation I encounter, the most useful ingredient I can add to the mix is LOVE and God is the Chef….

…..”Consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trial, the result is the ability to endure….”

love again.....

-Love isn't about staying with someone bcoz you don't want to hurt or get hurt.... it's about staying because you're happy and there's no place you would rather be.....
And please.....don't ever waste your time on someone who doesn't appreciate you the way you should be appreciated. Don't ever settle for mediocrity, for being just an option for being the one who's just fun to be with, for being the one who's always there desperately waiting, for mere concern or pity or for someone who just likes you just because s/he knows s/he's got the power to break you.... Don't settle because deep down, you know who you are and you know without a doubt that you deserve better if not the BEST.....

... but somewhere between heartaches and waiting comes another chance to be found by someone who can show you that you don't deserve to be just an option, but the ONLY CHOICE....

Love is.....

Let me begin my blog with a subject that we all can relate, which is Love....
Love….a four-letter word that has infinite definitions, unfortunately, nobody can perfectly Define. The meaning of the word is perhaps equally ambiguous for contemporary persons. We often use the term to describe our fondness for a certain thingamajig. Also, in identifying or associating love w/ positive feelings & warm emotions.

Love linked solely to fondness or like for someone or something, surrounds the term w/ a certain self-centeredness, or selfishness. Love limited to good feelings rules out both stability as well as it's persistence in tough times…..

…1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not keep records of wrong; it does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things

This is the kind of love that is self-giving, the "MUST" or should I say fundamental and innate vocation of very human being. We cannot live w/o it we are senseless unless we encounter this love…

Life is unfair….."Love , one of the best things in life that is free"……bt then again, it seems this saying should be rephrased,and shld have add…."but somehow, u don't have a choice to decide what is right and you cant fight for it". What if the one you love has been accused, GuiLty as charged w/o even airing her side. Funny thing is, u weren't able to fight for her, bcoz ur parents said u cant love her bcoz she is a sinner and have so many flaws in life……. Ouch!! That my friends really hurt!…..Fine, we commit mistake. Who doesn't? if there's any pure soul who will tel me straight into my eyes that you don't sin nor make mistakes well…. For me you're as good as GOD! Very conceited on your part….shame on you…. Let me jz tel u dt sins, even if they say have different kinds, whether immoral or not, it's the very same in God's eyes. Iv been a Christian for several years now, and I think accepting God is the best decision ive made... I've been struggling through an awful period of emotional turmoil and spiritual depression---- "a long dark night of the soul" often called 'mid-life crisis'….. I felt I needed more than words from the bible. I needed God Himself to touch me….. People nowadays, forget God in their lives….what is important to them are the material things in this world which is a very disgusting deed on us…..though yes, its practical to decide and choose the way of the world…… I pity those people who honor life as they want it to be bcoz of wealth….all they know is, money makes the world go round….. true, it is. but the fact that u sacrificed everything especially your happiness which is suppose to be free, you just trade it for the money itself just to sacrifice again this painstaking wonder of love of your private life just for your family's will for them to be satisfied by you….. If you love....u must do it unconditionally.......

It may be difficult to comprehend why certain people are loved??? But some intercepts in the way…….

ALas!
