one day the body asked the heart "the doctor cures me when im hurt, but who cures you when you're hurt?". the heart answered " i have to cure myself". maybe that is why everyone has their own way of healing hearts. they drink, sing, get angry, laugh and cry. they pour their hearts out to friends, go on trips, make themselves busy and love again. but you know whats the worst remedy people often do, they just ignore the pain and pretend not hurt at all.

sanchia's emotional text message

"i feel so sad that im leaving you guys again. I feel so guilty that i'm leaving my family... i wish there are many options."

from sanchia

There are persons i talk and laugh with everyday, yet it ends there... but there are persons, like you, rarely talked to and much rarely seen, yet its clear you're the one worth keeping...

from Trina

"Hug them. Kiss them and tell that you love them. dont miss the chances that life is giving you to spend with people you love... there are no rewinds" - adam sandler (from CLICK, the movie)

when
GOD
suddenly
turns
silent
on
You,

Never
Worry!

He is
just
watching
over you
while you
learn
the value

of
entrusting
your life
to HIM.

"Think you can't change the world? too late, you already have. it was changed for the better the minute you were born. there are more people than you can imagine who will never be the same because they came in contact with you, if only for a fleeting moment."

God
will never
leave you
EMPTY.
He
will REPLACE
everything you've
LOST.
If
He asks you
to put somthing
DOWN
its because
HE wants YOU to
PICK-UP something
GREATER

hi mark! i miss you

SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE

-be brave. even if you are not , pretend to be. no one can tell the difference.
-when playing games with children, let them win.
-when someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
-wave at children on a school bus.
-keep a notepad and pencil on your bedside table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3am.
-look at people in the eye.
-compliment the meal when you're a guest in someone's home.
-believe that life is fair even if its hard.

i learned to love someone with all my life... but there came a point when i got tired, not of loving but of sacrificing all that i have... then a thought came to my mind... i have given everything but have received nothing but pain and tears in return.. is this enough to prove that i really love that person? or is it a sign telling me to stop sacrificing and learn to love myself a little more?

text from trina

"hi mark! how are you? di na ako nakabalik ng manila coz im working na at a home-based call center.... musta ka na? miss you already... take care always! i love you 1hundjed percert :-)"

thanks and cute niya. ayoko siya kainin hanggat hindi nakikita ng lahat. but still, i'll be late to work. huh. thanks again.

remember
... life is tough, but you're tougher.
... when you harbor bitterness, happiness docks somewhere else.
... love, not time, heals all wounds.
Enjoy life!

its delicioso. :-) thanks again.. ang galing. :-)

9 Hardest Time of your Life

1.being questioned when you yourself dont understand.
2.pretending to be strong when your dying inside.
3.trying to forget someone you know you never will.
4.admitting you were wrong after you have been so insistent that you were right.
5.debating with yourself.
6.accepting the affect that somethings are not meant to be.
7.trying to understand when you just cant.
8.living without the person who give you the reason to live.
9.parting and letting go of someone you loved all your life.

"someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else."

txt conversation with skipper

"d habang buhay
magkakasama ang
barkada,
darating ang araw
na magkakalayo
ang bawat isa...
darating ung panahon
na magkakahiwalay
tayo...
masakit pero
kailangan tanggapin.
bakit?
wala namang
limutan
diba?"

"kahit ako, medyo naiyak ng sinend sa kin ng pinsan ko. pero totoo naman, iiwan niyo din ako."

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right, forget about the one who dont, and believe that everything happens a reason. know a good thing when you see it, and dont let it slip away. if you get a chance, take it. if it changes your life, let it. nobody said it would be easy. they just said it would be worth it.

karen and her crush

... i'll call you later. Edwin Santos got married last month, maybe that's the reason why hes not visible the past few weeks. Annie Kaye told me, and she saw the wedding ring kanina..

karen and paul anka

"... Thanks...actually we have a cd of him, same performance. he's singing, put your hands on my shoulder... hayy. nakakakilig..."
"...ganda ng songs mostlt medley, i think im gonna cry..."

from karen T. while watching paul anka's concert in araneta center... hehehe..

dont waste time to fall inlove with someone who doesnt love you in return. its too sad when the right person wont be able to search for you because your too busy making the wrong person right for you.

if you dont go after what you want, you'll never have it.

if you dont ask, the answer is always No.

if you dont step forward, your place always in the same place.

take risks for life goes on...


karen t.

you can finish a book without closing its chapters... if you want to move on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.. love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress.. its a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.. the greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go.. we loose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves.

from karen t.

Since I fell for you

When you just give love, and never get love,
You'd better let love depart.
I know it's so, and yet I know,
I can't get you out of my heart.

You made me leave my happy home.
You took my love, and now you've gone,
Since I fell for you ...

Love brings such misery and pain.
I guess I'll never be the same,
Since I fell for you ...

Well it's too bad, and it's too sad,
But I'm in love with you ...
You love me, then you snub me.
But what can I do, I'm still in love with you.

Well, I guess I'll never see the light.
I get the blues most every night,
Since I fell for you ...

Since I fell for you.

How Far

There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh, never come back

There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh, when's it gonna end

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

There's a chance I could change my mind
But I won't, not till you decide
What you want, what you need
Do you even care if I stay or leave
Oh, what's it gonna be

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

Out of this chair, or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say
Yeah I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far
How far
Ooohhhh

if God has made you a Giver, your hands are born open and so is your Heart. There may be times when your hands are empty.. but never your Heart!

from Nadia

wag mo na itanong

hika ang inabot ko
nang piliting
sumabay sa 'yo
hanggang kanto
ng isipan mong
parang sweepstakes
ang hirap manalo
ngayon
pagdating ko sa bahay
ibaba ang iyong kilay
ayoko ng ingy
huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
di ko rin naman sasabihin
huwag mo nang itanong sa akin
at di ko na iisipin
field trip
sa may pagawaan
ng lapis
ay katulad ng buhay natin
'sang mahabang pila
mabagal at
walang katuturan
ewan ko
hindi ko alam
pwede ba'ng 'wag na lang

Tonight I Can Write The Saddest Lines

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'The night is shattered
And blue stars shiver in the distance'.

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
Through the nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her over and over again under the endless sky.

She loved me, sometimes I did love her too.
How could I not have loved her great eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.
To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter if my love could not keep her.
The night is shattered and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied because it has lost her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is no longer with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We both of that time are no longer the same.
I no longer love her, that's true, but how much I have loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another’s. She will be another’s. Like my kisses before.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.
I no longer love her, that’s true, but maybe I do love her.
Love is so short and forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
My soul is not satisfied because it has lost her.

Though this is the last pain that she makes me suffer
And these the last verses I do write for her.

by Pablo Neruda

i forgot to greet you, belated happy birthday!

from cher fransisco-morente

i was trying to remember what the priest said in his sermon when i went to mass last tuesday morning on my birthday... i complete forgot. i think i need to hit my head on something, for it to get back... he said something that im not doing all the time, thats why it struck me hard. its something that i would do because i know its right.... hay.. so much for my birthday message from GOD.

you cant tap your back for a job well done,
you cant hug yourself for comfort,
and you cant cry on your shoulders when tears fall...
and this is why you have friends in your life to let them do whatever you cant.

from roy v.

often we get impatient and take things into our own hands, but GOD says, "Be quiet, Trust me. I know your needs better than you do. Just wait and give me a chance to work."

from mitch o.

enjoy, belated happy birthday.

from fredie

ok, i'll call you before you leave, miss you. love you. please come back, ok.

from sanchia

"later that day, i got to thinking about relationships. there are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started and those that bring you back. but the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. and if you find someone to love you and you love, well... thats just fabulous"

-- carrie bradshaw

... oh ok. thats nice. im at home na. you guys are leaving me here ulit. huhu... hehe

the man who sold the world

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of worlds and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I've searched a foreign land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago


Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

by Nirvana/David Bowie

The first cut is the deepest

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that I have
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure gonna give you a try
If you want I'll try to love again, (try)
Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know...

OOHHH,
The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
Cuz if you want I'll try to love again
(Try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, I'll try to love again but I know, OOHHH....

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
Baby I know (baby I know)
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again...
