Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the man you love but the man who loves you more. The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being. To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart.

Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let you grow with wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship. Don't be so bitter about it! For it is a kind of friendship that will last for a lifetime.We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves. You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.

Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow:
If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love. Cry, if you have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you.

Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.

last tuesday was my first day at work. and today, i received my very first paycheck. then deposited it right away to my checking account. soon i will open my own credit card to slowly build my credit. sad to say, America lives on credit. when you have no credit history you are nothing.

pre-valentines:
when he said he wanted to look for a date; he was just joking. and he was sorry.

at work:
be careful to key-in all the data, or else your credibility will lay on the line.

sometimes it takes more than Gray, Green and Brown to get the desired G-15 tint result for the lenses. sometimes, it needs a bit of Blue.

on the first day, though you want to make an impression, make sure you can last through the whooooole day. so wear flats instead of high heels to be more comfortable.

always double check to avoid errors, 'cause people make mistakes.

some people adapt easily while some don't.

everyday:
sometimes it's better to play safe with your assets. 50-50.

in 2006, 68% of movies in the United States were rated PG-13.

yesterday, 228 couples married in the Norwalk government office in Los Angeles County.

it's nice that i can get to celebrate each event for almost two days -- in Philippine time and Pacific time here in the States. like Valentine's day and our monthsaries. =)

nothing beats a text message from a friend working in Taiwan whom you've been trying to contact for the past couple of weeks. Ate Bon, we have a lot of things to talk about! Answer your phone the next time I'll call. 'Cause I don't understand your voicemail. =)

we all have a goal in mind, but at times we forget that goal and need to be reminded. that's why i had to cut out my goal from the brochure and put it in my organizer. and it looks good there.

when all you had for the whole day is bread, you lose your diet when dinner comes and they serve shrimps. i never want to spoil the night when i know all my dad wants is to rest. well, me too!

Valentine's day is RED day! red roses, red balloons, teddy bears, etc. it is expected that almost everyone would want to wear red -- though others are in denial of that.
unfortunately, it is also tied to the word -- CONSUMERISM. People would buy gifts for each other. when it doesn't have to be valentine's day to be able to find time to express one's love and care for others. while sellers take advantage and raise the prices of their items because of the high demand. consumerism. =(

nothing beats the feeling when the one you love tells you how you made their day great just by being you. and for having you in their lives.

"Life is like having a cup of coffe.
You sit by the window, lift the cup and take a sip only to realize that somebody forgot to put the sugar. Too lazy to go for it, you somehow struggle through the sugarless cup, 'til you discover undissolved sugar crystals sitting at the bottom.
That's how life is, we somehow forget to make an effort to value what are around us.

Look around, maybe the sweetness you are looking for is closer than you think.
Start your day right. Flash a smile. Have your coffee. Make it sweet."
