HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!!!

She is patient. She is kind. She is never jealous. She's the infinite definition of love. She is stunningly beautiful in her own unique and special way. She is very humble and her personality always reminds me to always set my foot on the ground. She always has this forgiving heart. Even she does not have enough but she will try to provide you in abundance.

I don't even believe anger is in her vocabulary. She doesn't know how to curse or have a hatred feeling. She is always beautiful and blooming with the goodness that blossoms from her heart and exudes an overwhelming love. She is very inspirational that even in your darkest hour and difficult moments; just plainly the thought of her could lift you up. She has these down-to-earth ears that never fail to listen to your confusions about the world. She may tell you less but makes you speechless for the most genuine understanding that is so heartening.

She may look ordinary to other people but for me she is one mighty superhero of my life. Her super powers? Her unbeatable goodness that kills; it is so great that all the badness and negativity you project on her and to the one she loves reflects back right at you. She has her own way of protecting us by keeping us on the rightful side and never fails to remind us that nobody can hurt ourselves if we do constantly generate unconditional love to life.

A comforting wife, the best mother and a wonderful person, my Mama! A year older once again but forever looking young and pretty. I love you so much & HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)

One-Sided Love Affair

Meron daw tinatawag na one-sided love affair. Ito daw 'yung ikaw lang yung nagpapaka pagod magmahal pero ang minamahal mo eh dedma lang sayo.

Hmmm..di ako naniniwala na ang one-sided love ay isang affair. An affair usually involves two or more individuals who have agreed to enter into a mutually satisfactory, emotional and sexual relationship.

There are always two sides in every coin, ika nga. At ganun din sa mga bagay-bagay. Ang mismong mundo natin ay nilikha at dinisenyo gamit ang konsepto ng pagbabalanse ng dalawang magkasalungat na bagay. Tubig at lupa. Araw at gabi. Lamig at init. Babae at lalaki.

Ganun din sa larangan ng pag-ibig. Marahil hindi lang angkop ang salitang one-sided pagdating sa pag-ibig. Dahil tulad ng karamihan ng mga bagay-bagay sa mundo, may dalawang mukha ito parati. It's either he loves you or he doesn't.

If you think you are engaged in a one-sided love affair, i.e., you love him more and he loves you less, it is safe to say that you are just performing self masturbation. Pleasurable sometimes, but very unfulfilling. Just a thought, meheheh..! :D

A Love Story When You Wake Up

Hello there, I just want to share this cute and short love story. Got it from symbianize.com, naisip ko lang s'yang i-post on my blog kasi I really got amazed and I was like..so kilig..specially on the last part..hehe!!! So here it goes...

-----

Mag-aalas dos na pala. Kanina pa kami magkausap ni Maui. Ang makulit pero cute kong friend. Nakilala ko lang siya sa isang site. Mga 2years na din kaming magkakilala. Nakwento ko na ata lahat sa kanya. Kanina tinext niya ko, curious daw siya eh..

"Dee, musta na kayo? Bat single ka na?" bungad na tanong niya sakin.

"wala ng kami Mau, ako na lang. Single na nga di'ba?" pilosopo kong sagot.

"ewan Dee! Anlabo mo! Haha. Oi may maaalala." pang-aasar niya sakin

"shut up Mau, ibablock kita!" ganting biro ko naman.

Sabi niya sakin nagkainteres lang naman siyang kaibiganin ako dahil sa mga ginagawa ko. Wow, utang na loob ko pa? :-D

"oh, bat dika pa tulog Dee?" pangungulit niya sakin

"wag kang magulo, iniisip ko siya kaya di ako makatulog" sagot ko naman.

"woshoo! Iniisip mo siya kaya di ka makatulog? o di ka makatulog kaya iniisip mo na lang siya?" pang-aasar pa din sakin...pero, napaisip ako may point din siya. Which is which?

"Mau, iniisip niya kaya ako?" iwas tanong ko.

"duh! Mauntog ka naman! She regrets everything, yung mga ginawa mo, kinaya n'yang kalimutan yun lahat ng ganun-ganun lang and you'll ask me that stupid question?!" she answered furiously.

"oh cool ka lang Mau, masyado kang high blood" sabi ko na lang.

Maybe Mau was right. Kasi ako madaming nawala pero wala akong pinagsisihan. So maybe, she's right when she said that everything I did with my ex is not important to my ex. Ang laki ko palang tanga!!

"I'm so glad you're there with your cynic point of views Mau" pang-aasar ko din sa kanya.

Then she answered, "no i am not a cynic person, yun ang reality, so kelan yung next gawa mo nang story?" ..."next week na lang or tomorrow Mau, it's midnight, ayaw mo pang matulog?" i said, trying to get rid of her.

"wag puro broken ha, kasawa na Dee! Yung nakaka-inlove naman. Para inlove ka ulit."

"wala akong inspirasyon Mau. you know that I can't write without a subject."

"can't you do a random love story?"

i sigh and said, "I can't. You know how I write."

"eh di matatagalan pa yan, let's sleep na", she finally asked me to go to sleep.

"I need a love story Mau, you know that.."

then answered, "no Dee.. You need love... You do the story.."

i did not reply...

She then text again...

[dami diyan Dee... Turtle ka lang!]

and i said:

can you be that girl Mau?

She asked, "what girl Dee? "

I replied, "that girl I'd love to talk to, and talk about.. That girl behind my every story... The reason of my every love story... Gawa tayo ng love story?"

she did not replied..

Shit.. Nalintikan na..

Ano na kaya iniisip niya...

I texted again...

I said hey,. No reply...

I then said goodnight..

Tinabi ko na phone ko. Napa-isip ako..

Ang gago ko.. Tsk..!

Why do i have to pull stunt like that?

Makatulog na nga...

Then nagring mobile phone ko..

Si Maui...

Nag-isip ako. Sagutin ko ba?

I decided to answer.

With her sweet sleepy voice she said:

Dee... I'll look forward to that love story. The sooner we start, the better..

I think gusto naman ng mga bida yung isa't-isa... :-)

bukas paggising ko, start na ng love story ha? Goodnight Dee, I Love You.."

And with excitement, i said, "affirmative. :-)"

Are you with the RIGHT PARTNER?

Every relationship has a CYCLE… In the beginning; you FALL IN LOVE with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their individual or unique characteristics. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely NATURAL and SPONTANEOUS experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "FALLING" in LOVE.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet." Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is a PASSIVE and SPONTANEOUS experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love FADES. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's individual or unique characteristics, instead of being cute, it'll drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic DIFFERENCE between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with SOMEONE ELSE. This is when relationships breakdown.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's LEARNING to love the person you found.

People BLAME their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.

INFIDELITY is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies WITHIN IT...

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY, you'd feel better. But you'd be in the SAME SITUATION a few years later.

Because, the key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's LEARNING to love the person you found.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner). Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also LAWS for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are PREDICTABLE.

Love is therefore a "DECISION". Not just a feeling.

Remember this always: It's not pre-determined who walks into your life. It is up to you to DECIDE who you let WALK AWAY, who you let STAY, and who you refuse to LET GO.

Think Positive And Things Will Go Right

Everyone's life is full of events. Most events are routine ones and we forget them with time. However, there are some events, which we remember for the whole life. Such memorable events may be positive or negative. Such events have a great significance in life. If one thinks deeply, they also convey a deep message and the message is that life is a complex phenomenon governed by many unseen forces. The events of life are not solely in our hands though our role is important. This role is mainly played by our thoughts and my experience is that our thought have a direct bearing on the course of events in our life. Of course, we have to face what is due to us on account of our destiny, but even the impact of destiny is affected by our thought process. If our thoughts are positive, events turn for the better and if negative, for the worse.

When we face a situation with positive attitude, faith, patience, hope and sincerity, the answers come on their own.

A problem is a problem only as long as we consider it a problem. On the other hand, every problem is an opportunity in disguise and a greater problem is a greater opportunity. True, some problems have no answer but they have a purpose. We have either to find an answer to the problem or seek a purpose behind it. Both enrich our life and make it worth living.

Ang mga Babae...

"Ang mga babae, madaldal/mabunganga." Oo, wala talagang tigil ang bibig sa pag-rachada sa kakasalita. Lalo na sa tuwing pinapaalala nila sayo na oras na para inumin ang iyong gamot, kapag nagtatanong sila kung kumain ka na ba, kapag ginising ka nila sa umaga upang hindi ma-late at sa mga pagkakataon na nag-aalala sila sayo at tinatanong kung nasaan ka na at bakit hindi ka pa umuuwi. Walang duda, madaldal nga. Hayaan mo na, balang araw, siguro magbabago din sila. Tipong maririnig mo lang eh "Oo", "Hinde" at "Pwede". Para kayong naglalaro ng Pinoy Henyo. 

"Ang mga babae, masyadong sentimental." Oo sinabi mo pa, ganun talaga! Tandang-tanda nga nila ang petsa at lugar kung saan kayo unang nag-date, nakatago at ingat na ingat siya sa mga larawan nyong dalawa, daig pa niya ang collector ng mga antique sa pag-aalaga ng mga iniregalo mo at kahit kailan hindi niya nalilimutan ang mga importanteng okasyon tulad ng anniversary, monthsary, weeksary o birthday mo. Nakaka-inis ba? Ok lang yan, malay mo next time, hindi na siya ganun. Tipong i-aasa na lang niya sa Facebook ang kaarawan mo tapos tamang post na lang sa wall mo ng "hapi bday".

"Ang mga babae, emosyonal." They cry about movies. They get teary with a romantic novel. They blush and gasp upon seeing a picture of a cute dog or a cuddly baby. Bakit ba ganun sila? Hmmmm...buti na lang kayong mga lalaki hindi noh?! Kasi kayo kinikimkim lang ninyo lahat ng emosyon sa loob hanggang sa sumabog at atakihin sa puso o di naman kaya eh magpapakalasing tapos magwawala at maghahamon ng wrestling. Di ba mas logical yun?

Ang mga babae madalas pa mag-imagine na ikakasal kayo sa simbahan. Lagi nag a-i love you, i miss you, take care/ingat at mwah-mwah sa text. Asar ka na ba at nako-cornyhan? Ayos lang yan. Darating din siguro ang time na titigil siya at i-sesend ang mga yun sa iba. 

Women are probably the greatest gift to men, from God, beside beer and sizzling sisig. At para sa 'kin, women deserve all advantages, lalo na sa pag-ibig. Sana lahat ng babae ay maging masaya ang lovelife. Sana, walang babaeng heart-broken, kasi, kayong mga lalake, you're meant to pursue them and it's okay if you fail from time to time. It's the way nature intended it. Gaya ng isang leon sa usa o pag-ikot ng Earth sa paligid ng araw. 

Mas okay kung kayo na lang yung masasaktan (hahahaha)! Eh ang mga babae? Isipin mo, nagkakaroon sila ng "dalaw" at nababaliw kada buwan, nabubuntis at nahihirapan ng 9 months, at pinaka matindi sa lahat, kailangan pa nilang panatilihing makinis at walang buhok ang kanilang mga kili-kili. Ano ba namang pasayahin sila at gawing "scar-free" ang kanilang buhay pag-ibig. And if you are with a great gal, do everything to make her happy. Don't ever break her heart. 

Wag kang magpa-uto sa mga statistics, na nagsasabing, mas marami ang babae sa lalake, kaya okay lang mang-chiks. Ano pa bang gusto mo? Hindi pa ba sapat na minahal ka niya sa kabila ng iyong pagiging engot at kawalan ng Romantic DNA sa katawan? Malaki man ang papolasyon nila sa mundo, napaka-liit ng tsansang makakilala ka ulit ng katulad niya na magtya-tyaga sayo. Tandaan, pansamantala ka mang maakit ng mga naglalakihang pulang high-heels o maaarteng makintab na sandals, mas masarap pa ring umuwi sa nag-iisang tsinelas ng buhay mo. ;)

PEOPLE CHANGE

Have you ever been in a situation that seemed so perfect?

And then looked back on it and realized it wasn’t as it seemed?

I was remembering something about him. Reminiscing a time when I was so happy being with him.

I look back now, almost like I’m staring at us from another person’s view.

I see a completely different person now.

He isn’t the person I knew.

It’s strange to spell out, but all I can say is in my memories, he isn’t who he was.

People change. Oh yes, we change!

So don't ever expect that the person you knew a decade ago will be the same person now.

I'm Just Proud of the Fact That You've Done It Your Way

Have you actually been proud of your boyfriend? That you have been fortunate enough to know precisely the real him, while everyone else wants to be up close with him at that certain moment where you know in by yourself that you have had enough of what they are presently craving for. Not only in the physical standpoint of why they crave for your boyfriend just to be up close with him, but the each and every little thing that flashes the eyes of the crowd and the way he astonishes everyone just the way he is.

Perhaps in some point of time, you got jealous of what he shouldn't provide too considerably for the crowd, but you have to take the truth that you two have both diverse kind of living to deal with. Some little factors that can make us jealous are the issues that remarkably been taught to make us realize something we shouldn't be jealous about. But at the end of the day, you are just proud of the fact of what he is in his own world, moments that you aren't with him and have to dwell his own life, and you are proud simply because he didn't change a bit of the way he is with you and without you.

"I'm just proud of the fact that you've done it your way." You claimed to your boyfriend, when you really don't have to be someone you aren't, within his entire world when you see him recognizably does not changing the way he is of the way he was with you prior to that moment.

You never know that he has the very same proud that you have with him, and probably that's the main reason why he only have to be himself, simply because you are proud and happy of each other appropriately. And what's more sweeter than that? :)

If I Wake Up Tomorrow Will You Still Be Here?

Have you actually concerned about your boyfriend leaving you in the morning or somewhere along in the wilderness that he will leave you any point in time? That you know that the night was an aspiration for you, and you know that if he at any time depart you that simply, you will now be awaken of a truth looks to be a dream. Uncertainties, when you don't know how considerably of a time he will get to be with you, but you know in by yourself that you have had ample of what you craved for.

I'm not pertaining to the 'sleeping with' matter but to the other side that you'll be concerned, that you know that he will leave you when you know with all your heart and soul that you gave your entire self to him. You just make sure yourself that you are an aspect of him and so he is with you. You really should know that if you have a thing to share or something to impart with each other, not only that sexual matter but also the very little factors, you know that you just influence him of the way he is and the way he will be if you at any time see each other yet again. The way he is when he is with you, now staying unfold of what amount of confidence and believe in that he could give in to that friendship or partnership you are possessing. A moment you understand that you are "in-theirs" and "in-time."

"If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?" You claimed to him, when you know in yourself that you just do not execute all the ideas you had in your thoughts and that is why you consult him if he actually arrive back again so that you will have some other time to fulfill of what you have started off. Indeed, you want to finish each single discussion in a substantial note, so you let him know that you have had a good time and anticipating to have an additional time to spare with each other. You can't help yourself but to wait around for tomorrow and have it provide that feeling of enjoyment and rush you want to pour in so you could execute of what you must do at the appropriate sort of time.

Right after he just depart you, the moments that you have missed or anything you regret will haunt you right at that moment. You know that you have to wait for it tomorrow to have an opportunity to do it, but your inner drive to push out that regret instantly will just make you think that you are pathetic enough to have that time once again that you just dropped. You know that time will be subsequent, but you just make the most out of all the self-assurance you had right at that instant. And now that your confidence is suitable, that you now have that will to pull him back to you would make no perception simply because it isn't the proper time for you to do it. But you never ever know if he will at any time like that way or the other way about, nevertheless you have to regard as it is.

Now that, as soon as you retain it likely you will understand that you will in no way have sufficient time, just about every time you meet up with to have that great conversation. And then, you make it as a practice and make it to the level that you can, by no means dwell without it, and you choose to have it to live for your whole life. And that's how you act at it, you discover things that you want to live for the rest of your life and the simple fact that it all started off as an aspiration, but now you are leaving an aspiration you have never imagined to take place. Life is too short, so we have no time to spare for the factors and other things that is not significant to live a life to its fullest!
