Writing Gems

My mind is wandering .. What comes around, goes around really. I was taken aback when my cousin shouted out  "why continue a commitment with someone, when you know that it wouldn’t last" point taken as she was coming from her own experience.. And made me ask myself too.. yeah why continue a commitment.. as we speak of marriage.. Do we continue to be married if along the way             a) there are too many personality differences?             b) quarrels, misunderstanding, fights can’t seem to be over?             c) immaturity and insensitivity continues to take over? Marriage entails all.. sacrifice, commitment, maturity, forgiveness, understanding, patience,, care and love.. For sure one would hold on to his/her last breath to save a marriage.. In the first place it has been decided upon.. And yet...

S wirling smoke forms columns of dreams,  memories of what had once been. A mid the haze and fire he appears, just as he was back so many years. A soldier- he was, brave and strong, killed by a bullet from the Viet Cong. I n a place faw away, he had gone, a mountain top, with a name Khe Sahn. A battle that lasted months they say... after winning, we just turned and gave it away. A ctions such as these common to war, guided by men with silver stars. T ears now flow. A price that's paid, as she reads his card from second grade.   credit -day 153

“I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me...” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince I looked at the mirror, feeling all the confidence in the world. I looked at the mirror, loving myself, I looked at the mirror, seeing who I really I am. Funny, but not too long ago... I didn't feel the same... I felt insecure and unloved... BUT I handled it well... So it didn't show... THAT IS WHY I thank God for you.. because you made me feel beautiful! :) "Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she co...

SHE confides her love life, the heartaches, the unfinished business.. I listened. Told her I won’t say I know how you feel because I don’t. Never experienced it. I listened. That’s what she needs. After some time… SHE rattles on again with the difficulty of long distance affairs, of loving and being left hanging… I speak. Long Distance Affairs can really be difficult.. but different difficulty degrees to different types of relationship.. Loving .. oh yes we can chat all day and night! Left Hanging? … Expecting a phone call and yet the phone doesn’t ring, anticipating a text and it doesn’t come? Longing for an e-mail, and offline message but still nada? I’ve shared my dreams with him, he ruined my life! How could he?!!! Yes I know I have to move on.. but still it is easier said than done! I am hurting!.. a lot! I hate him!!!!! I hate him!!!! I guess, no matter what our intentions are, the healing process must be undergone personally. No matter how many words we utter Words of encourag...

Amidst the ocean of souls. I met you. Found warmth in the cloak of your embrace. Solace in your presence. You made me free. To be my truest. You made me believe. I found my twin. My long-lost one. Innocent, clueless, fragile and wanting. I have fallen. Danced with joy and gladness as I woke up in your arms. As butterfly kisses caressed my being.  As you allowed me to be me. I love you. With all my soul... Let it be forever.. I pray...  But you seem to flutter your wings to freedom once more.   As you leave me thirsting for more. Enough! Time says stop. But my mind refuses to adhere.  My heart longs for you, yearns for you, cries out for you. I see you see me hurting. But knowingly gives in to time.. In your piece you are clear. I understand. As it is for the best. I face my reality. Knowing in my heart and soul, you are there, found and would stay forever… As time be our guide.   To eternity… -day 117 reblogged from Catch My Thoughts!

I remember feeling the fear just thinking that I may one day find myself without someone who will be there with me for life. Becoming single forever. Living alone. On my own. The fear, as I now analyzed was coming from wrong perceptions, and my own concept of single blessedness. I was 26 when I got married. Now, it had been 9 years! And guess what?  I am actually looking back and asking myself.. what if I..., what if I hadn’t found the man I would marry, what if I am still single? and am actually excited on the what -ifs! haha.  Coming here, seeing all the possibilities, looking outside the box, Majoy, there is really soooo much more! Not that I am wanting to be single again.  OK, for a day or two, would really love to be.. hehe see, no kids, no kiddy hubby too! hehe just plain old me spending my time just for me.. kinda all ME, ME, ME! Had I not married at 26, I know I would be going through the same way you are going through now.. but then again, a...

http://lovematterswednesday.blogspot.co m “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.     It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.     We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.     Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ^^ Authored and published by Marianne Williamson ^^ -day 63-

It has been a long time since I’ve been a go-between, but it’s almost Valentine’s Day, so why not? Peep into our conversation: ME 12:27 PM ola!.. and here he comes with a letter... asking me to type, instead of giving the letter to you! lol! here goes... SHE 12:30 PM oh no. not a letter ME 12:31 PM Dear SHE, What worthy gift could an ordinary guy such as myself give to a person like you.  If I were to offer you a rose, it would only be pale and wilt next to your radiance. If it were possible to grab a star from the heavens and lay it before you, it would only dim and die from the embarrassment of not being to match the gleam in your eyes. An expression loses its effect when translated. I'm afraid -must be used at this time: Tu eres mas hermosa que todas las estrellas en el sielo. – From HE *No need to run. It's only what every other man is thinking that I dare to say. Excuse my impudence.  If there was anything written that was offensive, my apologies.  Please let me ...

Love Matters Back in the days, I have sweaty hands!  So, obviously, I always felt squeamish with holding hands.  Well, there was this guy, and we attended mass together.     My hands were normal the whole time, but a minute before the “Lord’s Prayer” part of the mass;  my hands began to sweat again!!! (OK! I was nervous; I needed to hold hands with him!) My mind was running a 100 miles!    Think, think, think... I would need for him to just hold the back of my hands,  NO, I would need my hanky to go in between our hands, NO, I would need to excuse myself and run! And before I could think of some more reasons not to hold hands, he was intertwining his hands with my hands already,  and he was acting as if it didn’t matter if he was holding my sweaty hands!!! My! -talk about “what-is-happening-here-feeling!”   I was embarrassed, nervous and still sweaty but I needed to concentrate “Our Father, who art in heaven….” I blurted sor...

I love this excerpt from Leo Buscaglia ’s Living, Loving and Learning … “…  the people we love aren’t going to be the same all the time and yet we don’t look at each other anymore! We’re so busy doing things that we don’t stop to look at each other. The faces of the people you love are not going to be the same in the morning, and neither is yours! Don’t miss it! Really, the saddest phrase to me is hearing someone say, “I only wish I had—“. Well, you know, you can! Is he sitting next to you now? Look at him. Is she sitting next to you now? Look at her, touch her hand. It isn’t going to feel the same. What are you afraid of?” http://www.flickr.com/photos/10597986@N03/943230082 Let’s not be too engrossed with our online friends' statuses, photos, latest “chikas” and whereabouts that we miss what is important. Maybe, the people who are with us now are just waiting for us to look at them, to touch them and to make them feel that they are loved, and we’re still busy with our FACEBOOK....

Scream when you want to scream. Roll on the floor. Surprise everybody!" "Please don’t wait to communicate your feelings!" This came from Leo Buscaglia 's book Living, Loving and Learning . (click his name to know more about it.) For now, you would have known that I am a fan! Yes, I am! Just Say IT! I hate it when my husband will not talk to me because I did something wrong! I do not know why he needs to pamper the pain!!! I am his exact opposite because I just simply communicate what I feel, well, tactless at times but, I need the communication part, so that when I’m done with it, then it’s done.   Just LET ME KNOW! There are people who are afraid to communicate their feelings to the point that instead of directly telling "what's bugging them" with the particular...

Here goes... a 61 year old American teacher-magician is asking me to find him a girlfriend in the Philippines. Qualifications: 40-50 years of age beautiful nice to be with friendly He said he's very willing to visit whoever she is in the Philippines and that he'll do whatever it takes to bring whoever she is here in the US. He wants to correspond via email, mail, phone calls... Just today, he gave me $20.00 bill (and of course I turned it down! LOL!) because he wants me to expedite the process of searching. HAHAHA So if you are reading this and you qualify OR if you know some who knows someone who is looking, available, and eager to come here. Then, you know who to contact!:) Promise.. he's serious about this! Maybe tomorrow, he'll double the $20.00 hahaha Sweet dreams!:) -Day 3-
