Where Has My Weekend Gone?

The Answer: Work.Work.Work.

And once again... I survived, even if I had to go through a difficult time.  A happy kind of sad, I am.

"What does not destroy me, makes me stronger." 
- Friedrich Nietzsche

Something to Remember

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
  --  Martin Luther King Jr.

To Stand for Something

"as long as I have voiced out what I stand for,
I'm more than fine with it;
the ball is not in my hands,
the hell I care! damn it!" =))

I may sound furiously mad while you are reading this, but I'm not! :) This is just how I burst out my disappointments. I may be pissed off, but not crushed; annoyed but not angry. Life is too short to get mad at someone or something. There are other more important and desirable things to spend my time for. What matters for me now is I never kept quiet when I knew I needed to be heard. I'm not your typical gal who would say 'Yes' when it is a 'No'; who would say 'I can' when in fact 'I cannot'; who would say 'Yes, it's fine by me' when the truth of the matter is, 'Bullshit, it sucks bigtime!' =))

They heard me right, but I know in my heart, they never listened. And just like what my banner proudly shouts:

"...to stand for something, to have made some difference that I lived at all."

Serenity, Courage and Wisdom

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference." - Anonymous

Faith

"God is good....for beyond the darkness, He gives us light, beyond our nightmares, He gives us dreams, and beyond our tears, He gives us comfort. So with this new day that He has provided, let us thank Him even if our plans fail and our expectations are not reached, for beyond these things is God's embrace saying...."My child, the path that I have laid for you is just beyond the corner. Take my Hand and just have FAITH."

Words of Wisdom ala Bob Ong

1. Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, huwag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya.

2. Hindi porke’t madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wan-tu-sawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.

3. Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na mahal ka pero di mo mahal. Kaya quits lang.

4. Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.

5. Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili niya.

6. Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal nakakatakot mahulog at kapag nahulog ka, it’s either by accident or talagang tanga ka.

7. Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!

8. Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda. Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.

9. Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.

10. Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.

11. Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.

12. Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh, meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.

13. Kung maghihintay ka ng lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Dapat lumandi ka din.

14. Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.

15. Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.

16. Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.

17. Bakit ka magpaparamdam sa taong hindi marunong makaramdam? Wag kang magpakatanga sa taong hindi marunong magpahalaga. Matuto kang sumuko at mang-iwan kung lagi ka naming sinasaktan.. Imbes na magtanong ka ng Hindi pa ba sapat? Bakit hindi mo na lang kalimutan ang lahat? Kung alam mong binabale-wala ka na, tanggapin mong nagsasawa na siya. Wag kang magpadala sa salitang sorry at ayokong mawala ka. Kung totoo yun, papatunayan nya.

18. Minsan nililinlang ka na lang ng sarili mong damdamin na akala mo nasasaktan ka pa din. Pero ang totoo-naalala mo lang talaga yung pakiramdam nung nasaktan ka. Pareho lang din yun sa pag-aakalang mahal mo pa yung tao pero ang totoo- naiisip mo lang yung pakiramdam mo dati nung mahal mo pa siya.

19. Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.

20. Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala.

21. Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan.

22. Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.

23. Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa iyo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.

24. Bakit ka matitiis sa taong alam mong sakit lang sa ulo mo? Wag mong ikulong ang sarili mo sa hawlang ginto pero sira ang kandado. Sino bang may sabing hindi madaling makahanap ng kapalit? Kahit ibon marunong maghanap ng bagong pugad, tao pa kaya?

25. Paano mo masasabing special ka sa isang tao kung ang bawat ginagawa niya sayo ay ginagawa din niya sa iba?

26. Sabi nila kahit ano daw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa yo - ang sarili mo…. kaya siguro namigay ng konsensya ang dyos, alam nyang hindi sa lahat ng oras gumagana ang utak ng tao

27.marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. maraming teachers sa labas ng eskwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo

28.kahit ikaw ay parang bato na manhid at walang pakiramdam, mag-ingat-ingat ka naman. dahil kahit ganyan ka, hindi nasasaktan, kaya mo namang makasakit.

29.Walang taong manhid. Hindi niya lang talaga maintindihan kung
ano ang gusto mong iparating dahil ayaw mo siyang diretsuhin

A Simple Thought

When you've found the reason to walk away,
never look back, just keep on walking.
Even if the destination is unclear,
it will take a lot of courage for every step you make
but it will save some pride and honor for yourself.
It is better to get lost moving on....

than being broken and stranded after all.

Where's the Good in Goodbye?

How hard is it for you to say goodbye? How is the feeling of being left alone? Why do we need to say goodbye?
What does goodbye mean? Is it for real? Is there an easy way to say goodbye? Is it goodbye for now or goodbye forever? Should I be happy, should I be sad or should I wait for you to come back? Goodbye... such a lonely word....

Some quotes I got from the net:

• I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.
• People so seldom say I love you and then it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, it doesn't mean I know you'll never go, only that I wish you didn't have to.
• Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it's not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I've got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.
  

......

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Neil Gaiman

Found this quote over the net and I find it.... hmmm.... basta... ;)

“I try to talk to you, but I don't know what to say. I am afraid you don't want me to say anything. So I don't. But inside of me there are words waiting to come out. And tell you how I feel-like how I miss you. And how I love you despite my broken heart. And how I need you in my life. And especially how much I want you. But those words may forever stay in my heart-locked inside. Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too... but I'll never know.”
