Seven Lost Secret Fascinations and Abilities (K.I.D. edition)

1) Animals can talk;

2) Your favorite blanket is woven from a fabric so mighty, that once pulled over your head, it becomes an impenetrable force field;

3) Nothing is too heavy to lift with the aid of a cape;

4) Your hand, held forefinger out and thumb up, actually fires bullets;

5) Jumping from any height with an umbrella is completely safe;

6) Monsters exist and can be both seen an done battle with; and

7) the greatest, most special and regrettable loss of all: the ability to fly.

Long Goodbyes

Some doors are meant to be close so that another one will be open, I think that's a common rule.

In this journey call life, shifting paths is ALLOWED, it's a privilege given to each and everyone of us-- that is to be able to exercise our right to choose...to make decisions.

So who am I to judge you for turning towards another road opposite to the one I'm heading to...it is your life and I will not question nor deprive you for managing it, I trust you bro and with that comes my support.

Decisions are decisions after all, risks has been taken, so please stick with that decision not simply because it's just a choice you need to stand for, but rather because it is something you wanted to live and die for...LIVE your TERMS like how you used to do, copy? ^_^

Victory or defeat, it will no longer matter, taking the thousand risks is brave enough (for that allow me to salute you-- head high). Let your journey be a legacy of your own because at the end of every choices, it will not be about how far you end up, the most important thing is the number of people you've influenced along the way (depending on the kind of influence, okay?)-- and of what you've become.

The world can't assure a safe travel, time will come when the road is no longer as smooth as it seems, so when you feel like going back to the starting line, turn your head instead and see me, I will be there as a way of saying "Hey, move forward, don't worry, you have a back-up," and just in case you didn't see me due to 'distance', look up and remind yourself that you are under a great God.

My presence can't be felt all the time, but I will stay in your heart as long as you want me too, same as how you will occupy a little space in mine for a life time.

I will not hold you back, now I'm letting you go, this is not a permission because you don't need to ask that from me...I'm saying it to let you know that I'll be fine, so you can go on...

Just meet me at the other end of the road, I'll be standing there waiting for you, and if you get there first, would you mind waiting for me...I will come running.

Now I'm standing before you
...go on, follow your dreams, find your real self, and when you are complete...go back to me and greet me with the sweetest SMILE.

...you'll always be one of the greatest man I will hold close to my heart.
Have a good life and be safe...

So long buddy.

- Sisiw

Timeless...

...I want to have a LOVE STORY like theirs

Until you see me in your dreams, we'll stay awake beneath the trees. we'll watch the buildings turn to dust, a sky of diamond just for us.You are the risk I'll always take, the only branch I'll never break. those fears, we'll blow them all way, we'll blow them all way...

More than a Mother...

Mother

by Ken Pierpont

“Her children rise up and call her blessed…” (Proverbs 31:28)

She dreamed of you from the time she was a little girl cradling a baby doll in her arms. She always saw you playing around the little cottage in her childhood dreams. She carried you in her body and you made her sick every morning for weeks and weeks. She bore you into the world through intense pain but when she heard you cry and saw your wrinkled face she forgot all about it and wept tears of joy.

She fed you at her breast and her whole world revolved around you. She stole into your room at night just to watch you sleep and she was sure you were the most beautiful child on earth. She set up through the night to bathe away the fever and at breakfast your dad said; “Sleep well, honey,” oblivious to the all-night vigil. She somehow always knew when you needed her, even in the middle of the night, and she came to your room and changed your bedding and made sure you were warm and dry.

She covered your ears and gave you your coat and checked your homework and made you practice the piano and set through all your ball games and recitals like they were the seventh game of the world series and a debut at Carnige Hall. She nagged you to brush your teeth with words of wisdom like; “Be true to your teeth or they will be false to you.” She changed your diaper and cleaned up when you were sick and washed underwear no one else would touch without a chemical suit. And who do you think always cleaned the gunk out of the kitchen sink and bathtub drain?

She made sure you had the drumstick and your dad had the breast and acted like she preferred the wings. Her oatmeal cookies made you forget the beating you took from the neighborhood bully, or the slow rate of greeting card sales.

She listened to you and didn’t laugh when others would have mocked you. She believed in you when you didn’t believe in yourself and prayed for you even when you didn’t think you needed it. She made you think you could do things you were sure you couldn’t do. She was tough enough to call your bluff and discipline you and give you a sense of boundaries and the security that comes with it. She spanked you when “Spocking” was all the trend with lesser mothers. She knew when you needed a spanking or just a nap and she didn’t always give you candy though she longed to indulge you.

She was always waiting when you came in late. When you complained about it, she pretended to be asleep the way you always did when you wanted her to carry you in from the car after a long trip.

She read the Bible to you and read the Bible in front of you and did what mothers have to do to make sure the family is faithful in church. She made your dad a much better man than he ever would have been without her.

She mended clothes as a labor of love and it broke her heart to see how quickly you grew out of them. She knew you were only loaned to her from God and soon the house would fall silent again. She washed mountains of dishes and truckloads of laundry. she put up food on the hottest summer days and didn’t complain.

Her most sincere prayers were the ones she sent heavenward in gratitude for you. She filled your home with fragrance and beauty and music. The smell or her perfume and fresh-cut flowers, bacon for breakfast and Sunday roast.

Her eyes were bright and happy and full of life. She wept though, wept and worried a thousand times for you when no one ever knew.

She rose early on holidays so you could enjoy a festive meal and an enduring memory. She planned for days and worked for hours so that in a few minutes you could gulp it down and go watch football. You didn’t always thank her or help her with the dishes, but those meals have been a cherished memory for years.

She baked you special treats just to watch you eat them. Something inside made her happier the more you ate. (If you could see me you would know this made my mother a very happy woman).

She wore old dresses so you could have a new ball glove. She skipped vacations and second honeymoons so you could go to camp. She limited expenses for her hobbies so you could get your band instrument. She was happy with last year’s fashion so you could have this years tennis shoes.

She didn’t abandon the family when your dad was insensitive to her needs. She took the blame for your failures and stood back and let your dad have the glory for your successes.

And having done all these things and a thousand others that make mother a sacred word, she still felt she wasn’t the mother she should have been.

...Happy Mothers' Day to all the MOTHERS in the world and to those taking MOTHER ROLES

...Let's LOVE our mothers 

...LOVE you Ma ^_^

Byul*

The beginning of my story,

The ending of yours

With your love so precious,

My second chance unfolds

You’re my light in the darkness

My only shield in the rain

You’re my teacher and my savior

Most of all, you are a friend

When I stumble very often,

You never lend a helping hand

You taught me how to stand

Now I can manage to run                          

When I started to doubt

You never fail to believe

When I cry, you never console

You rather told me to cry, and cry even more

You tell me truths even if it hurts

With all the pain, you bear with me

I always blame you, you simply listen

And you never leave me until the end

You’re authoritative yet considerate

Mysterious yet very distinct

Rational and never judging

And when you loved, it’s unending

Though I can’t see you always

You’ll be there, that is certain

Like billions of stars in the sky

Shivering each night and silently watching everyday

Thank you, my only star in heaven…

Bakit may mga taong T----?

Bakit may mga taong T----?

LIKAS ba yan o SADYA?

...BAKIT nga ba?

Sa iba't ibang sitwasyon at pagkakataon pwede nating sabihin na ang LAHAT ng tao T----, magkakaiba nga lang ng DEGREE of intensity, may iba na natututo at may ilan na pinipiling patuloy na magpaka-T----...it's a matter of choice anyway but we're not in any position to judge them on why they do things that are considered unreasonable, hindi naman natin alam ang tunay na pinagdaraanan nila, pero hindi rin natin masisisi ang ating sarili kung nagagawa man nating humusga dahil bilang tao, hindi tayo pare-pareho, ibig sabihin may kanya kanya tayong pamantayan...pamantayan ng acceptable at hindi. 

Ang BOTTOM LINE lang, as long as hindi ka APEKTADO, LET THEM...kung nasasaktan man nila ang sarili nila, PINILI nila 'yon, isa pa kung susubukan nating tumingin from a larger perspective, wala naman talaga tayong kalayaan o karapatan para turuan sila, maaari lamang tayong maghayag ng opinyon once na hingin 'yon.

...kung naging T---- man ang ibang tao, hindi ibig sabihin na masama na sila (para husgahan natin ng sobra-sobra). Hindi kasalanan ang pagpapaka-T----, hindi rin KRIMEN, isa 'yang desisyon na pinipiling panindigan ng ilan...mabuti man o hindi ang resulta sa kanila. Sabi nga ng iba "walang basagan ng trip"...let's just mind our own business and stop interfering on others affair...

LESSON is...

I'm SPEAKING in behalf of a friend who were being misjudge by people who didn't know her exactly.

This, I dedicate

this photo was shot by my friend Mardi. Those shoes are mine and her's

Through UPS and DOWNS you’re at my side

We LAUGH, we CRY, and share the SMILES

When all the people have DOUBTED me

You ACCEPTED me rather wholeheartedly

You CRITICIZE me constructively

But you never ever JUDGED me

Most of my BATTLES have been fought with you

Whether we LOSE or WIN it through

We found some STRENGTH in each other’s presence

And both accepted that we have LIMITS too

You UNDERSTAND my irrationality

But I can’t remember that you TOLERATE me

For the WONDERFUL journey, I’m thanking you

A promise I will hold forever TRUE

Wherever LIFE will LEAD us through

You’ll ALWAYS be a FRIEND to me…

FRIENDSHIP is not about how LONG have you been TOGETHER nor how MANY secrets you’ve shared, for me, FRIENDSHIP is about the TIES you’ve BOTH created which will CONNECT the two of you FOREVER…

I wish I could SAVE YOU

Save You
by Simple Plan

Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step till I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there're so many things that I want you to know

I won't give up till it's over

If it takes you forever I want you to know

When I hear your voice

Its drowning in a whisper

It's just skin and bones

There's nothing left to take

And no matter what I do I can't make you feel better

If only I could find the answer

To help me understand

Sometimes I wish I could save you

And there're so many things that I want you to know

I wont give up till it's over

If it takes you forever I want you to know

That if you fall, stumble down

I'll pick you up off the ground

If you lose faith in you

I'll give you strength to pull through

Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall

Oh you know I'll be there for you

(Ahahaha)

If only I could find the answer

To take it all away

Sometimes i wish i could save you

And there're so many things that I want you to know

I wont give up till it's over

If it takes you forever I want you to know

(Oh)

I wish I could save you

I want you to know

(Ohohh)

I wish I could save you (oh)

----

Sometimes I want to do something just to ease your pain, but the fact is I can do nothing...I can't just look and pretend that nothing's happening, too bad I have my limitations, I'm a human being and I can't do everything...How I wish I could save you.

>>> I dedicate this to ALL who are suffering...be STRONG and let's FIGHT 'til the end ^_^ AJA!

A Walk…

I only have one month to go before graduation…

…so while PEOPLE are busy RUNNING fast I would rather choose to WALK or might as well SIT-DOWN for a while and look back on the road I used to RUN through

…for now, I just WANT to BREATHE, look left and right and appreciate the surroundings

… I want to CONGRATULATE my SELF for a JOB WELL DONE…akalain mo ‘yon, nakarating ako DITO, and then...

… I will just walk happily, FREE from the suffocating PRESSURE because by the time that I REACH the final end, I will start flapping my WINGS and SOAR high

…I will DANCE in the AIR and LOOK down still keeping in mind that I too have LIMITS and I LIVE on a planet which has GRAVITY, which will REMINDS me to stay GROUNDED

…then I will SMILE and instead of saying “GOOD BYE” I will greet everyone “SEE YOU AGAIN…”

CONGRATULATIONS to all graduates of year 2012….follow your DREAMS and to all things GLORIFIED our GOD…

A time for HIM...

Let's remember God and his son Jesus Christ this Holy Week...

Their SELF-LESS Love is just an EVIDENCE that regardless of our shortcomings

God loves us come what may...

FAITH for me is a form of LOVE

Have a meaningful HOLY WEEK everyone...

God bless you and God loves US

MISSION “I LOVE YOU”

“I LOVE YOU”

…That’s the 100^th “I love you” greeting that I’ve said.

…Last Friday evening while I lay calmly on my bed, an idea coming from nowhere appeared on my PUZZLED mind. The idea is to tell 100 people (whether close to me or not) how much I love them by simply saying “I Love you.”

That’s how MISSION “I LOVE YOU” started its way…

My goal on this personal mission is to redefine the meaning of “I Love You” to everyone. I believe “I Love You” should not only be said to your boyfriend, girlfriend nor your significant other…”I Love You’ can also be addressed to your parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends, classmates, schoolmates, enemies and even people you do not know. For me "I LOVE YOU" is for everyone who became part of your life and somehow it serve as a motivational cheer.

Well, I started my mission that same night…I call my mum and my dad and started shouting “I LOVE YOU ma, I LOVE YOU pa”…and for me that is RELIEF (two down…98 more people to go!). I continued the mission the following day and continued again until this day.

This is a very nice experience because the first reply I’ve heard was “I LOVE YOU TOO” …that’s very common I know, but during those moment, I feel some self-fulfillment because I didn’t actually expect a reply and I’m kind of hesitant to complete the mission at school…so I thank God because I’ve managed to do it.

Of course, replies are different, some said “why” …and I said “I just simply LOVE YOU,” some said I’m crazy, some just laugh but most of them replied the same words back to me...suddenly I’d realized that sometimes, reasons were not required for you to say “I LOVE YOU” to someone…those three words are like energizers to keep people  going because everyone of us have our own battles to fight everyday and isn’t it nice to hear someone saying that he or she loves you when you least expect it from him or her?...It feels good inside believe me…I think, what makes it sweeter is that people were not used to “me” doing stuff like that, so the mission appears weird…and people started wondering.

What makes me happy is that, I told a girl (she is sitting still on the corridor reading something) that I love her, she was kind of shocked because we do not know each other, but she smiled and then replied “I LOVE YOU TOO”…we’re certainly crazy. LOL

I made a list to see how many of these people will reply “I LOVE YOU”

…so out of 100 people, 59 persons replied “I love you too”

…the rest of the number think that I’m definitely INSANE

I’m very proud of myself because I did complete the mission…with new experiences, a smile on my face and a happy heart…I feel so blessed not because they replied back but because through this little act of mine I’ve influenced others to do the same thing and through my mission… 100 people realized that they are being loved by one Jeepney.

At the end of the mission, I know that I made some people happy and made myself realize that “I LOVE YOU” is more than just words, it can redefine everything--- and that's the mark I left to those people’s HEART.


I am loved and I want to share it with you...
Hope you like it ^_^

“I LOVE YOU”…

SPREAD THE LOVE <3  


LOVE,
