some days we loved each other..other days we had to work at it..you never see the hard days in a photo album but those are the ones that get you from one happy snapshot to the next

closure

maybe the reason why we end up like this is because i gave up soon. i wasnt that strong. i didnt fight for our love. maybe i never saw how true is your love for me. i was blinded by lies..by jealousy..by my selfishness. i said goodbye in the wrong way. i dont want to see you. i know i wont have the courage to bid my farewell because i know that i still have love for you because i know that when u look at me it will weaken my armor..now all i have are "what ifs".. i have moved on but i guess i will never let go..not in this lifetime..

you set me free

Can't you see There's a feeling That's come over me
Close my eyes You're the only one That leaves me Completely breathless
No need to wonder why Sometimes a gift like this You can't deny
'Cause I wanted to fly,So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath So I could see, yeah And you set me free
There's a will There's a way
Sometimes words Just can't explain This is real
I'm afraid I guess this time There's just No hiding, fighting
You make me restless..
You're in my heart The only light that shines there in the dark
When I was alone You came around When I was down You pulled me through
And there's nothing that I wouldn't do for you..

break it to me gently

1. Don't forget that ending is not a nice thing. Own up to the shadow aspects of this important job. Be prepared to be the "bad guy" and discover that there can be joy in that role.

2. Before you have the ending conversation, get it clear in your mind. You want and need to end this now. Set aside complexity for a while and go for simple.

3. You don't have to give reasons. You know that the reason is that you don't love this person now. Don't be led into the tangle and trap of looking for valid reasons. Love is not a reasonable thing.

4. Be gentle, but also be firm and clear. You can be one part firm to two parts gentle, but no more gentle than that.
5. You have already ended it in your mind, so after the conversation let it be. No regurgitation. No tying up loose ends. Do the main job of ending and let all the details take care of themselves. End of discussion.

6. In spite of rule #5, know that closure is only an ideal. You may always wonder about and even regret this ending. You may dream of this person all your life. Deep down in your soul, endings are only commas, not periods. They aren't as final as they seem to be in the moment. Allow yourself a lot of contradictory feelings, but don't let them interfere with the achievement of a good, clear ending. Sharp and neat makes gentle possible.

The Art of Letting Go

LOVING SOMEONE is such a nice feeling and being loved makes you feel ecstatic. The hardest part of it all, however, is letting go. People say that it is so hard to form a good and stable relationship but it would take seconds just to break it.

Learning how to say goodbye without the guilt and the hurt is the most difficult path a person could ever pass through. It is just like having two roads that you need to trek--one in blue, being the less traveled--and the other in red, being the most traveled road for lovers and couples.

I took the long red road and found out how lucky I am to meet few good men in my life. But then I realized that it was then a time for me to live on my own and celebrate the rest of my life before really looking for the right one. I want to take the blue road: the less traveled road, the road where drifted souls would want to pass through. It has proven to be a good road after all and it made a difference in my life.

Now that I have found the guy I would want to grow old with, the lesson I got from letting go made me a person with sense of self-worth, a person ready to love again and make another person feel loved.

Breaking off is hard but would it teach you to start a new life. The wound that stays after calling it quits would heal in time though it would leave a scar just to remind you of how strong you are to withstand any pressures of challenge in loving somebody.

Learn to let go and to break free for there you would realize how powerful love is. As they say, you don’t have to choose love because love itself would choose you

--By Adrienne

Things will never be the same again
Now that you’re gone I have to mend
You ruined my life just like that...
And now I don’t know how I can heal my heart.

Words have been said and things have been done
And I can’t accept the fact that you’re already gone
Tears keep falling down my eyes
I don’t know what else to do... I want to die

Things will never be the same between you and me...
I know my life will continue but I'll never be happy
i have to go and same as you...
We’ll part our ways and start anew.

I love you that’s all I want you to know.
Things will never change and it might even grow
I'll never regret that very first day I laid my eyes on you..
you'll be in my heart now and forever too..

random thoughts

some mornings i get to work and its easy. i'm good and calm, relaxed, ready to face whatever the day throws at me. some mornings just arent the same. it's like i woke up at the wrong side of the bed. on these days i get to work just a tad less friendly. change is coming again now, i can feel it. I didn't have the strength to fight I just couldn't take the hurt again. sometimes we feel the world is against us. that whatever we do its just not right. how can i please this imperfect life?! at times im jolly, talkative - saying things that dont really matter. sometimes i feel like zipping my mouth for the whole day. whatever!

when we're mad we tend to say words we dont really mean. it's as if we're saying those things just to hurt the person who have hurt us but is it right? i always wanted to keep my silence when im mad but i just couldnt. its like im feeling the fire inside of me and it needs to burst..

much have been said

much have been said , said u never leave. why'd it have to be harder than it had to be. don't you throw blame you were a part of this. wasn't suppose to end with us just walking away. so many times we tried holding on to the pain but in my baby's eyes i see my shame. asking why you had to leave. wasn't i strong enough to make you see that the biggest part of this is not about you and me but just be strong. if we held on maybe tomorrow we'll find a taste for the old days hard lessons we've left behind. this mirror's an open door. i can barely stand to see myself. i don't know what to do anymore. I'm crying out for help. will i ever learn? keeping my fingers crossed, praying for my luck to turn but i cant complain, I'm living it easy..jobs keeping me busy. can't describe the way it felt when you left and said your goodbyes. it just seems crazy for me to think that I'll find love a second time but we all know how it all wraps up in the end. never said a word to you. no one ever said it was going to be easy. let's start over again, this time lets do it right..this time lets keep the fires burning

i want to..

I wanna be with you, in a moonlit night
Lie in your arms, and hold you tight...

I wanna go with you, to places I've never been
To see all the wonders, that I've never seen...

I wanna dance with you, to our special song
Sway to the rhythm, all night long...

I wanna laugh with you, to a private joke
And whisper secrets, that no one else knows...

I wanna kiss your lips, when no one's around
To show you the love, that in you I've found...

I wanna dream with you, of things yet to come
Of the beauty of life, that has just now begun...

I wanna cry with you, when life gets too tough
To find comfort in you, when times get too rough...

I wanna share with you, every moment of my life
All the joy and sorrow, till the end of time

unspoken words

"some words are better left unsaid..and some things are better left undone" you agree? well, i don't! its still better to talk it out and express what we feel. we only leave thoughts of confusion to the other person if we keep inside our shell the things we want to say or do. why is it hard for us to tell the other person what we really mean? maybe we're afraid to risk because we don't know what will be the outcome. well, I'm a risk taker..good or bad result..at least I'VE TRIED! it's still better to come clean than hide ourselves under a mask.
just a thought on this boring day at the office *wink*

"this is me... deal with it!:

10 things i hate about you

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare

I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind
I hate you so much that it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you're always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

a little look at love..

For me love is about long-term commitment, it means devotion & tenderness. After a long day, i like to curl up & unwind. When night time comes nothing beats a glass or two of red wine with my hubby. I'm happy spending time alone with my other half. This love we have today brings color & joy to my life. Though sometimes we have our petty quarrels, we don't let it ruin our relationship, instead we let it become a lesson for us to be stronger in this journey. I'm hoping that in spite of all my moods he will always stand by me & praying that when we grow old we'll still be together..

ouch!

Sabi ko na nga ba, mawawala ka
Hindi ko pinakinggan, paalala ng mga kaibigan
Kaya ngayon, kahit sobrang nasaktan
Sinusubukan pa ring ika'y kalimutan

Ang tanga kasi ng puso kong 'to
Sa dami ng lumigaw, sa'yo pa nagkagusto
Kahit pa nga madaming kumokontra
Pusong nagmahal, di nagpadala

Ilang araw ding magmukmok sa isang sulok
Nag-isip, nalungkot
Tinatanong ang sarili
Saan ba ako nagkamali?

Oo naman, mahal pa rin kita
Kahit na nga ikaw ang dahilan ng aking pagdurusa
Pero ngayon, babalik ka pa?
Naku huh, manigas ka!

Tama na sigurong minsan minahal kita
minsang nagpakatanga
Minsan mong niloko at nagpaka-gaga
Dahil kahit ganito lang ang puso, marunong ding madala

Kahit sabihing andito ka pa
Hindi ko na yata makakaya
Mahal ko pa rin ang sarili ko
Kaya hindi ko na gugustuhing muli pang lokohin mo...
