Monday, October 10th, 2005

I wish i could turn back time, or move forward and get the chance i failed to grab hold of…

If Only

If only you can hear me

I’d let you know, how I miss you so

Forgive me, I was blind to see

I was a fool to ever let you go

Believe in me, I want you to know

 
Chorus:

That I have realized with no one

Else I’d rather be

But then I know that you have

Found yourself somebody new

Hope I could find you in another

Place and time

I’ve proven it’s true

I’m still in love with you

 
Every night, I’ve been dreaming

About the time when you were mine

The memories, I will be keeping

Oh I was so wrong to let our

Chance go by

So listen now, I never will deny

 
Chorus:

That I have realized with no one

Else I’d rather be

But then I know that you have

Found yourself somebody new

Hope I could find you in another

Place and time

I’ve proven it’s true

I’m still in love with you

 
If only, you can hear me

I’d let you know, oh how I miss you so

Believe in me, I want you to know

 
Chorus:

That I have realized with no one

Else I’d rather be

But then I know that you have

Found yourself somebody new

Hope I could find you in another

Place and time

I’ve proven it’s true

I’m still in love with you

(Repeat)

’nuff said!

i was in love… it was a roller coaster love affair which ended in a crash…

i was hurt… i was bitter…

i learned to let go… i inched my way to moving on with my life…

im ok… or am i really?!

i long for love but i back away when it comes knocking at my door…

now, im haunted by so many "what ifs"

so many chances i regret letting go

i ask myself why the hell did i build this wall around me…

and will i or will someone be able to knock it down…

oh well… ganyan talaga ang buhay… parang life… ’nuff said!

Falling in love

Got this from an e-mail… its worth reading…

Falling in Love

by Kent Nerburn

 

 

It is a mystery why we fall in love.

It is a mystery how it happens.

It is a mystery when it comes.

It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.

 

You
can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will
never do anymore than take the life out of the experience.

 

Just
as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and
electrical impulses in the body, love is more than the sum of the
interests and attractions and commonalities that two people share.

 

And
just as life is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so too, the
coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be
questioned in its ways.

 

Sometimes,
hopefully at least once in your life – the gift of love will come to
you in full flower, and you will take hold of it and celebrate it in
all inexpressible beauty. This is the dream we all share.

 

More often, it will come and take hold of you, celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.

 

When
this happens to young people, they too often try to grasp the love and
hold it to them, refusing to see that it is gift that is freely given
and a gift that just as freely, moves away.

 

When
they fall out of love, or the person they love feels the spirit of love
leaving, they try desperately to reclaim the love that is lost rather
than accepting the gift for what it was, then moving on.

 

They want answers where there are no answers. They
want to know what is wrong in them that makes the other person no
longer love them, or they try to get their lover to change, thinking
that if some small things were different, love would bloom again.

 

They blame their circumstances and say that if they go far away and start a new life together, their love will grow.

 

They try anything to give meaning to what happened. But there is no meaning beyond love itself, and until they accept its own mysterious ways, they live in a sea of misery.

 

You need to know this about love, and to accept it.

You need to treat what it brings you with kindness.

 

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart.

 

If
you find someone else in love with you and you don’t love him/her, feel
honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the
gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain. How
you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our hearts feel
the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

 

If
you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with you, and
then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.

 

Remember that you don’t choose love. Love chooses you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

 

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in anyway you can. This is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They
see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they
begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from
them.

 

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as a need. They cease to be someone who generates love and instead becomes someone who seeks love. They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away…

 

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reasons for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But
if it choose to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover,
there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

 

Love always has been and always will be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

 

If you keep your heart open, it will come again.

that which does not kill me only makes me stronger

Owww… that’s my body complaining… I’m aching all over and
got bruises everywhere. It took me a while before I go out of bed this morning
and I missed my class!!! Why? I just came home last night from our climb up
Pico de Loro in Cavite.

Don’t think I’m complaining… its just the body aches that
makes me whine right now but it was all worth it! It was a challenge that I’ve
been longing for quite a while now.

Every time I climb, I’d end up whining and complaining. I
keep on asking myself why do I put myself into situations like this?! Going up
and down the trail for hours getting all sweaty and muddy while carrying an
insanely HEAVY pack on my back… What a way to spend a weekend, right?! Well,
the answer always hits me once I reach the peak…

The view up there can’t compare to anything down here.
Everything’s surreal and I get this sublime feeling that just takes all the
exhaustion away! Heaven, that’s what the mountain is for me.

This climb is going to be very memorable for me. It’s my
first climb after almost two years and a lot happened!

First, a new lesson… Instead of slippers, it’s smarter to
bring sandals for the camp just incase your hiking shoes quits on you!!! My
boots gave up on me early during the ascent and I had to wear slippers for
quite a while. After a while, I knew I couldn’t go on wearing that so I had to
find a remedy for my boots… It’s a miracle what a good piece of rope can do… =)

Second lesson, actually an old one but still I don’t know how to remedy it is to
PACK LIGHT!!! The whole trip could have been so much easier for me if only I
lessened my load. The problem is, I pack only what I need but it’s still
insanely heavy!!! I guess that’s what I get for having everything that I need.
The only solution I can think of is to bulk up more muscles and increase my
endurance.

The camp had a beautiful view of the peak itself and the
lands below us. Oh, for those who don’t know, its named Pico de Loro because
the peak is shaped like the beak of a parrot.

It was the first time that I experienced heavy rains while
up there. Luckily my tent was good enough. It had some leaks but at least it
didn’t flood inside. It was just irritating that it started raining while we
were packing up and was about to have breakfast. A lot of my stuff got wet!
Even with less than half of the water I brought up, the soaked tent made my
pack a lot heavier!!!

The trek up the peak was treacherous and a slip could leave
me rolling down and taking those below me along. The muddy ground and the pack
that disturbs my balance was such a great help in making it all the more
harder… and I almost forgot to mention the shoe that was just patched up… I was
scared like hell but I kept on going slowly but surely (sorry guys! I kinda
slowed things up). Anyway, I believe that true courage isn’t measured when you
don’t get scared, it’s when you get scared but still face your fears head on.

Death, another thing that entered my mind starting from the
trek up the peak and during the short leg going down the other way. One
miscalculation, one miss, one “oooops” will surely mean the end of my
existence. But at those moments, that short time that I was near death, I felt
truly alive! I fear death but I’d rather burn out than simply fade away. I love
life but being on the edge give life more meaning.

And as the saying goes, “that which does not kill me only
makes me stronger.” I do believe that I’m much stronger now. I endured all that
up there, what can stop me down here?
