Last Night, I Prayed For You...

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:55:49 GMT

Last night, i prayed for you....
may God grant you a beautiful morning, a nutritious meal, a worry-free day
may He always keep you safe as you drive your way to work, to your favorite coffeeshop, to your friend's place
may His Spirit be with you as you accomplish your tasks, as you deal with stress

Last night, i prayed for you....
that you have enough strength to go through a tiring schedule daily for i know it is not easy
that you be persevering to reach your dreams for i know how much you will be satisfied if you will be able to share those knowledge to your soon-to-be colleagues
that you always have passion on whatever activity you are into for i know that having an outlet, a diversion, you will never feel alone

Last night, i prayed for you....
that you will be more persuasive in keeping touch with long lost friends
that you will be more expressive in showing your true self
that you will never be afraid to let a person know how much you care
that you will never be hesitant to show the person you like how much you feel for her

Last night, i prayed for you....
to be God's precious gift to me
for with me you can share your most kept stories, your corny jokes
we will laugh 'til our face hurts
for with me you don't need to pretend, you don't need to change anything or imitate somebody
for you will always be accepted and cherished
for with me you will be trusted always
you will never ever be chained
for i know you so well that i can tolerate your moods
a decade of friendship has gained me immunity
for i always like the things that you like, be supportive in all you do
for i will never reject you and give you false hopes and worries
for as long as i have breath.. i will love you... unconditionally

last night, i prayed for you....
that you will also pray for me to be with you....

Field of Dreams

Field of Dreams

it is nearly 2am and my room's still a mess *sigh
the first thing i intended to do on my Day 1 in Singapore is to update my blog... and guess what? im finally writing my thoughts again after 9 months and 15 days of my stay here.

Reason is... nothing, wala, nai, nada, meyou.. i can't think of anything to write or should i say there are lots of things to write about but i don't know which 1 to prioritize *nice excuse... heheheh :p

im having weird dreams lately (of course, it's not work-related.. that's y it's weird)...
people getting married... including me. i saw a friend of mine marrying a eurasian. it was a very simple wedding (and damn! i was not invited)... very private, less than a hundred guests. i was surprised coz i know his wedding could be a really big one.

my wedding...? in my dreams, okay?! yeah.. i never get to see the groom's face. like i woke up in awe... "who is that person?" then the next day, God responded to my prayers coz there was a follow-up... it was a big wedding... and the groom's a Japanese

crappy! dosn't really make sense ryt??? is it because i am so hooked with JDoramas lately??? oh yeah.. and the bitter part is... he is not Jun Matsumoto :'(

after that dream... i revised my nightly prayer... it's not anymore wishing for Mr. Right.... it'll be "just in case he is not Mr. Right, please do not allow me to insist that he is The One..." ;p hehehe

- - - - - - -
yup! i'm back... im saying Hello again to my WyRED side ^_^
more to come...

The moment you read this, I will be a thousand miles away from you. I know you wouldn�t even care less and I�m not really sure what I could make out of that. Look, I have no intensions of pestering you as you say you have a busy schedule. There�s just something I wish to convey before I finally let go of this feeling, move on, and live my life. I don�t really give out letters like this to those people I fancy, it always seemed so easy for me to talk to them and give them a piece of my mind. Just couldn�t figure out why I find it so difficult for me to have a word with you regarding this matter. I know I started this whole insane sh*t at the wrong foot. What I thought was just a big joke turned out to be something that devoured me. I didn�t have any idea that it was going to eat me whole. Had I known, I shouldn�t have indulged myself onto it. I thought I was in control, something I�m used to being all the time. And when I noticed that I wasn�t and that I�m slowly slipping away to my typical controlled self, it scared the hell out of me. YOU scared the hell out of me. So I went back to my usual routine again: going out, meeting new people, and trying to enjoy their company - to keep my mind off you. But I should have known better. It was useless, utterly futile�all in vain.

I often wonder what it is with you that made me feel this. You made me feel all those stupid mixed emotions all at the same time. And it was then that I figured out that I was in deep shit. I had my pride. I tried to conceal it to everyone, to you, and even to myself. I knew what our friends are like. They�d surely make a big laugh out of me. I can already see them with their eyes wide open as if I have just said the most absurd thing. See, it was always a conscious effort to be cool whenever you�re around. To act natural, to be left unnoticed. It wasn�t easy, I swear.

But I�m only human. I also get tired. I�m tired of pretending that I don�t care at all. Tired of using that nonchalant fa�ade every time I hear them talking about you, or hear them talk about something that reminded me of you.

What we had was not something substantial, I must admit. I don�t even know what your last name is, which school you came from, or even your favorite color. But know that for the short span of time that I have known you, it was pure bliss. And for that, I want to thank you for the incredible memories that would forever be etched within me, those would bring out the best smile in me as I reminisce. Please don�t get me wrong here. I don�t intend to attract attention from you. i dont even expect anything from you after having this. I just feel the need to do this. For myself. For no other reason but to put you all behind me.

I loved you, this I'm certain.

So anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this�if you did read on. I have just unloaded something that has eaten most of my time lately. Somehow, I feel a lot okay now. I�m looking forward to seeing you again. And when that time comes, I will be ready to be friends with you�without pretensions.

It will be better that way.

Love. . . Actually!

Peter is the hubby of Juliet.

Mark is Peter's bestfriend

Peter and Juliet are having dinner when they heard the door bell rang....

Juliet (without Peter) opened the door...

Peter: Who is it?
[Mark's sign reads "say it's carol singers" ]

Juliet: It's carol singers.

Peter: Well give them a quid and tell them to bugger off.

Mark: [on sheets of poster board] With any luck, by next year - I'll be going out with one of these girls. [ shows pictures of beautiful supermodels]

Mark: But for now, let me say - Without hope or agenda - Just because it's Christmas - And at Christmas you tell the truth - To me, you are perfect - And my wasted heart will love you - Until you look like this [ picture of a mummy]

Mark: Merry Christmas

P.S. a lot of my friends didn't like this movie... but i love it...! i can watch it over and over again =) coz by watching this film... particularly this scene... repeatedly... gently reminds me that there are things truly not meant for me...

I Didn't Know I Was Lookin' For Love
- ebtg -

I was alone thinkin' I was just fine
I wasn't lookin' for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you (3x)
I didn't know I was looking for love (2x)

Cuz there I stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say how I felt
And not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on my map on my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you baby (3x)
I didn't know I was looking for love (2x)

So we build from here with love the foundation
In a world of tears, one consolation
Now you're here there's a full brass band
Playin' in me like a wonderland
And if you left I would be two foot small
And every tear would be a water fall
Soundless boundless I surround you

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I just didn't know

I didn't know I was looking for love until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
I just didn't know

until I found you baby until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love Until I found you

the aftertaste of peppermint mocha

wla lang.. i just felt i had to paste the lyrics ofthis song...
1st time i've heard of this song, i alreadyliked it..
but i never thought i could relate to it someday....

a freind once told me that love is kike coffee --> addictive.
it gives you sleepless nights, faster heartbeats like you need
to take valium immediately. it lets you crave the rich andsweet
promises of the grains (hmm... like the peppermint mocha).
then suddenly, it puts you in a "not-so-nice" mood, where,i guess,
you'd like to hang up and let somebody reboot you.
where all you could do is to burp those bitterness out.
"it has already consumed you.... before you consumed it."
but then again..... the next days......
you damn crave for another cup....
and it is so just like love......

months back, i knew it was goodbye...
and never planned to complicate things eversince.
just being true to myself, i guess?

putting all those inhibitons in a box & never regret a single
moment of expressing love at its purest level....
until 1 txt msg made every sweet thing collapsed!
may nakakita sa amin....

my dad's death anniversary may not be a lucky day for us both.
but there's this one thing im holding on to right now....
if my dad wants me to live this kind of life... so be it.
"if this is God's will, so be it..."

well yeah.... the spark never left.....

CrossOver

hi brew...

thanks for the nice poem...

find your man soon...

i know he's just out there...

IS IT A SIN TO LOVE YOU?

Is it a sin to love

Because by a vow

You are enchained?

Is it a sin to love you

Because by your chains

You belong to another?

Is love a chain that makes

A free being a chattel

To be owned and enclosed?

Or is it the seeing of a truth,

The truth of a deeper oneness---

The truth that frees?

by Neri

the truth about loving

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:13:43 GMT

The greatest battle ever fought by anyone is the
battle of love that cannot be yours...
no matter how strong your shield is or how
sharp your sword, the bleeding cannot be
prevented and the hurt will never be concealed...
for the wound of the body can be healed but
the wound of the heart will forever leave a scar
that will remind you of a battle never won....
-thanks to my ever reliable bessy Che

One afternoon i was busy gathering pebbles
from the shore...
but as i was gathering more and more,
i felt that my hands were turning so heavy...
and so i let go

i know that i can easily retrace my steps
and pick them up
but i didn't

i just cried
cozwhat i have learned here was not the pain
of losing my pebbles...

but the deeper pain of having to let go
of what i already have...
just because i wanted to hold on
to something more...
- pipoy.. ganda ng msg mo.. sobrang timing
