“Life is like an exciting playground. If you want to enjoy it, you should’nt be afraid to try new things.”
“I am nothing special; of this I Am sure. I am a common tao with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but Ive loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough”
For once in my life I have someone who needs me Someone I’ve needed so long For once unafraid I can go where life leads me And somehow I know I’ll be strong
For once I can touch What my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won’t let sorrow hurt me Not like it’s hurt me before, oh For once I’ve got someone I know won’t desert me ‘Cause I’m not alone anymore
For once I can say This is mine, you can’t take it As long as I’ve got love I know I can make it For once in my life I’ve got someone who needs me
Heard this song in Ally Mcbeal, my latest craze in my dvd marathon thing…
Thanks for a wonderful partnership with Tristan, my soulmate… He makes me feel complete when he says that he needed me.
This is adapted from the blog of one of my closest friend, one whome I consider as a sister… I can relate the story to love… There are loves which, no matter how great and passionate it is, cannot work out. You may be meant to love each other forever… BUT YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE TOGETHER. That’s a sad reality which one must accept. It is like a battle… a battle of love that cannot be yours. And I think that is the greatest battle ever fought by anyone because no matter how strong your shield or how sharp your sword, the bleeding cannot be prevented and the heart will never be concealed… for the wound of the body can be healed but the wound of the heart will forever leave a scar that will remind of the battle never won…
There is always a possibility that a person can get attracted to another… It is human nature… It is not wrong… But that is why we are in a commitment, one must discipline himself/herself. One may get attracted to numerous prospects and it is ok… as long as he/she does not nurse the feeling and won’t do something about it… The borderline between cheating and faithtulness is to recognize the reality that you already have the person that can give you more than what you get for the cheap thrills of attraction.
And the TOY STORY goes like this:
Little toy cars in different sizes and models were scattered in the brightly colored playroom.The set up was designed such that, each boy is entitled to have only one car of his choice.
One little boy in particular decided to have two cars. One was red sports car bearing the most expensive brand and the other one was a plain but functional toy car.
He then asked himself, “Which car should I choose?”
“I love the red car but I also love the simple one.The sports car will run the fastest while the simple car may not be as fast as the other one,” he thought.
The boy stared at both cars and was so confused which car to choose until his teacher affectionately tapped his shoulder.
“Son, you have to choose which car to take.One little boy may be looking for his toy car because you have taken them both,” said his teacher.
The little boy again took a good look at the two toy cars on his hands.Finally, he said to the plain car, “Is it okay if I choose the red car?”
He looked up at his teacher, kissed the plain car and gave it up.As his teacher took the plain car away from him, he stared again at the red sports car on his hands.Without the plain car, his red car looked bare.And then, he felt empty and incomplete.
He ran to his teacher and asked, “Teacher, can I have the plain car back and keep them both?”
“That is not possible, son.You see, every little boy in this room should only have one toy car for him to love and to keep.And in your case, you have chosen the red car.If you decide to keep them both, there will be one boy in this room who will be waiting and looking for one of the cars.One of the cars may be very plain to you but for one particular kid in this room, the plain but functional car is the world to him.”
Everyone knows they are going to die, but nobody believes it…According to Professor Morrie Schwartz, the better approach towards death is to know you are going to die and to be prepared for it at any time. That way, you can actually be more involved in your life while you are living. And to prepare for this, do what the Buddhists do… everyday, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, “Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?”… Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.And if you accept that you can die at any time, you will live a meaningful life… We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don’t satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted which in truth, make our lives meaningful. Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, and you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you will be overwhelmed with what comes back. That is the way to find a meaningful life.
I sent a text message to some of my friends with what I call a living funeral, as adapted from the aforementioned novel. Some are hesitant to answer, some took the question seriously. Some did not answer. Some answered lightly… I just would like to hear those wonderful things, if any, while I am still alive. It would be a waste if I would never get the chance to hear any of it.
What would you tell me if I am going to die an hour from now?
JEN – I’ll see you soon… and remember that you have been one hell of a kind… and you are one of the few who stood by me whenI had been at one of the lowest point of my life… Thanks and love you.
DONNABEL – You are the coolest person I’ve ever met and one of the few kindest people I know. Kung by sexual experience ang category sa langit reserve mo na ako ng seat sa tabo mo ha hehehehe.
TRISTAN – Sabi ko sayo tabi pa rin tayo eh hehehe

GENG – sama ako sayo bes, ituloy natin inuman sa langit hehehe
ARNIE – Drugs tayo for a change at kapag wala na amats natin, papakilala ko pa sarili ko sayo para marealize mo na I am a friend for keeps.
LORRAINE
– Let’s go have fun instead. Miss ya and you inspire me.
EDS –
Ala

ANNE – Girlfriend, the angels in heaven must be really sad with the world’s worsening condition that they need you there to make them smile and see hope for mankind.
QUEEN – Before you die, will you please donate your brilliant mind? Hahahaha. O, ano, hinihintay ka na ni Lord, me bar exam ka sa langit. And because of your kindness, top 1 ka daw sa kanya.
RYAN – Gumising ka na at binabangungot ka lang hehehe
JUDE – Sama ako senyo ni Eman, inom tayo hehehe.
JANICE – You made the definition of friendship an understatement. You made friendship real…
If you were to decide what to be imprinted in my tombstone, what would it be?
TRISTAN – No. 5 in the Bar, No. 1 in my Heart.
JEN – A woman who approached each task, big or small, with grace, humility and love…
SHEILA – A lawyer, a precious wife, a proud mother and a woman who has seen the true essence of life.
JOAN – Lukaret, lukring,aninganing, balivve, mait, amental patient… but a true friend.
GENG – A lovable woman… I’m proud of you…
QUEEN – A woman who entertains stupidity but easily regains her sanity… for her one great love.
DENNIS – Here lies a brave soul who tried hard and succeeded immensely in making her world a better, more than just abode especially for the downtrodden.

ARNIE – Symbol of strength of a woman… charming yet dangerous…
TERENCE – Here lies a human who ascended her way to the top. A fighter and a winner who never lost her heart and soul.
I first heard this song in the movie ETERNITY (Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calzado) and I fell in love with it… Love, when true, can really wait… even in another lifetime.
IN ANOTHER LIFETIME Gary Valenciano from the album: Relevance
I could hold on for a hundred yearsWhen all else is goneI would still be hereIn a memory of things yet unseenI’d remember all that we’ve never beenAnd I cannot wait to seeWhat life has in store for me
[chorus]In another lifetimeIt would be foreverIn another worldWhere you and ICould be togetherIn another set of chancesI’d take the one’s I’d missedAnd make you mineIf only for a timeMy life would matterIn another life
And I’d stay as strong and I’d stay as trueAnd you’d have forever now to think it throughCoz I believe what wasn’t meant to beWasn’t meant for now andSomeday you’ll seeIn a place and time we never knowI’d be standing there waiting for you[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]You would be mineBut until that time is nowI’d be holding on somehow[Repeat Chorus]
[Coda]But until that timeI’ll be holding onto foreverUntil another life
I had a dream last night, we were fighting and I was explaining something and you where defending but I couldn’t remember what it was. Out of nowhere I began to cry because how I hate the sight of the both of us fighting. Suddenly, I woke up and realized it was all a dream, but I notice that I have some tears in my eyes. I was actually crying subconsciously. I was hurt because for a moment I thought I was gonna lose you for good.
When I woke up, I began to see how life would be if you were not by my side. I figured it would be sad and a very lonely life. It is just so funny on how God talks to us in so many strangest ways. He made me realized that not having you in my life gives no meaning to the word love and happiness. I remembered a topic about love which was shared to me, that the actual size of our heart is only ¼. The other ¼ of it is for the person we love, so to sum it up, you already have ½ of your heart. The problem is we are not yet contented because we are missing the other half. Now, some people try to find the other half through money, power, city life and fame. One thing they did not know is that they could never find it till they realize that the other half belongs to God. Once you have accepted that ½ of your love should be for God, you are now complete and satisfied in life.
Just the way I feel right now. Having you makes my heart complete. I don’t know if I still have you thought. Sometimes when I am alone, I think of you and start to wonder could you ever believe that I am deeply and madly in love with you. A question I can never answer but I do believe in one thing… God knows how I feel for you.
It has been almost a week now since we last saw each other and I fell very sad because you were not with me. I can not ask you to give up your fears but why spoil life with fear when happiness seems to be in front of you… when all you need to do is grab it. If ever it will take you time to overcome fears, I will be here waiting for you, but please don’t take forever because I might not be there (coz I might be dead by then). If only I can live forever, then I will be glad to be by your side to hold you and to wait for you.
I love you and there’s nothing more I could want. For me, you are the reason why I believe in miracles because this is one miracle that happened to me right before my very eyes, and guess what? It’s YOU…
I love you and that’s a fact.

Dearest Gina,
… in everything I do, I can’t stop thingking about you. If I could just call you everyday for sure I would…. But each day that comes, every hours that pass, I’m loving you more and more. I haven’t fallen in love with you once… but so many times. And I can’t count those times that I’m loving you cause it goes on and on and on… and it never stops.
Thoughts of you always linger in my mind and I’m wishing for the day that we will be together again, hoping that it would be forever. I will always stay with you… to love you and to care. Things will never be the same without you.
Babes, always take care of yourself. Always think that in every move you make, I will always be at your side to support you. Lastly, please take good care of the promise you have told me…”that you will never leave me, no matter what”…
I love you so much.
September 29, 1999
Gina babes,
It’s sad cause we’re not going to spend our 5th month together… for the 2nd time. How I wish I could be there to hold you so tight feeling that I won’t ever let you go. But in my heart, you will forever stay. I won’t ever let go of this very beautiful relationship that we have. Instead, I will make it stronger… with your help of course.
Babes, words can’t express how I feel for you for my love is so strong that I can’t help it.
September 30, 1999
Babes,
It’s another month of lour lives… full of surprises, love, care and understanding. We just need to continue doing these things to be more stronger in our bond. I’ve been in love with you for a long time… and still I’m in love with you… again. Nothing’s gonna change it and it will forever stay… I thank HIM for letting you be with me.
I love you so much…
BY SHARING MY LIFE,
YOU MAKE IT RICHER AND MORE MEANINGFUL
THAN I COULD EVER HAVE MADE IT ON MY OWN —
BY SHARING MY LOVE,
YOU FILL MY HEART WITH HAPPINESS —
THANK YOU
FOR BEING THAT ONE SPECIAL PERSON
IN MY LIFE.
HAPPY 5TH MONTHSARY.
November 10, 1999
Gina babes,
When I found you, I came to know what love is all about. I learned that love is not just the highs and lows that can come with romance, true love is steady and constant… comforting and warm. I found out that love really is everything about you.
IN YOU I FIND ALL
THAT IS MEANINGFUL…
THE DEW ON THE MORNING GRASS,
THE RAIN ON MY SHOULDERS
AND THE EVERLASTING SUN IN MY HEART.
YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING.
I LOVE YOU.
November 30, 1999
Gina babes,
I am so in love with you, and I don’t regret feeling this way for I know I am right of what I feel… I am right for whom I felt this… I am right to be in love with her…
NO ONE ELSE
COULD HAVE
MADE ME THIS HAPPY
OR FILLED MY WORLD
WITH SO MUCH LOVE.
HAPPY 7TH MONTH WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND CARE…
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
January 9, 2000
Gina babes,
I really should take this chance to tell you how happy I am that you spent this last Christmas and New Year with me. I thank God for giving you to me to love, to care and to be with you. I am so happy, for you gave me the chance to know more about myself and for giving meaning to my life. I love what I’m feeling right now for I know that you will always be there for me.
Thank you so much for giving me another chance… thank you for the love you’re giving me and for more love that I will still receive from you. In return, I will love you for the rest of my life.
THE WORLD MAY NOT KNOW
HOW MUCH I LOVE AND NEED YOU.
PEOPLE AROUND NEED NOT KNOW
THAT I LOVE AND NEED YOU.
FOR WE BOTH KNOW
THAT WE LOVE AND CARE FOR EACH OTHER.
FOR THEY WILL KNOW
THAT SOMEDAY SOON, WE’LL BE TOGETHER.
TIME WILL SOON COME
AND WE’LL BE GROWING KIDS OF OUR OWN;
THAT WE’LL CONTINUE
TO PURSUE OUR DREAMS TOGETHER;
THAT WE’LL CONTINUE
TO MAKE OUR PROMISE FULFILLED;
THAT WE’LL LOVE AND NEED EACH OTHER
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH…
February 14, 2000
Babes,
WHEN WE FIRST MET,
I NEVER DREAMED
WE’D BECOME SO CLOSE.
BUT IT WAS EASY
TO BE WITH YOU… SO NATURAL.
I FOUND MYSELF
WANTING TO SPEND
ALL MY TIME WITH YOU.
AND NOW OUR LOVE
HAS CROSSED ALL BOUNDARIES.
I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOUR SPIRIT,
YOUR ESSENCE,
ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL TO ME.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO THE ONE I LOVE.
In my life, I have been blessed by angels. Some are strangers whose one-second smiles or compassionate ends have made a difficult day a little easier. Others are soulmates who connect with the deepest part of my spirit… thank you for being an angel again and again. My life would not have been the same without your love or the gentle, tender gifts you share just by being yourself.
I love you very much.
April 7, 2000
STARS… AND… YOU
These stars that you see means YOU… for you are the light that I need when night comes and a wish whenever you fall into my arms… that’s YOU… the one I love… the one I cherish the most…
April 13, 2000
ANOTHER SUN… ANOTHER LIFE… ANOTHER CHANCE
As always, as the sun comes up in the day with the sweet morning dew comes as always the love I give for you… that every sunset means another happiness and another life with you… with God.
April 30, 2000
Babes,
I may not have given you the world I promised…
I may not have reached the moon to touch,
I may not have taken the stars to offer you,
But I have never left you alone in darkness.
I gave you the LOVE I have…
I gave you HOPE I have…
I gave you the FAITH I have…
For you are all I have ever had.
Anniversaries are not just anniversaries.
It’s not just another year passed.
It’s not just another special day finished.
Instead, it’s another page of life…
More struggles to conquer…
And have success.
This love that we have can never be leveled.
And I am very proud for the both of us.
We made it and we will still have more anniversaries to come…
Silver, golden and more…
So hold on and keep on holding on….
I love you so much with all my heart.
Happy 1st year anniversary babes…
May 30, 2000
Gina,
All my life I have waited for someone like you to share my dreams, my plans and all. No one could tell how long we figured out and prepared ourselves for this relationship.
Gently the wind blows, telling us, informing us of how strong we are and still congratulating us for a relationship well done and well arranged.
Though sometimes we suffer, it takes time to heal the hurt… the fresh cut that clings the heart… aching mind… motionless touches… I knew we can get out of it… Why? Because we have each other… and love.
On this 30th day of May, 2000…We are celebrating our 13th month of being with each others arms and love. So I wanna thank you for everything, and still for what may come ahead of us, I know we’ll have more months… years… decades… centuries to come.
