How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s June
My goodness how the time has flown
How did it get so late so soon?
- DR SEUSS

This is one of the quotes I wrote on Candice’s birthday gift… a journal slash scrapbook. I dunno, it’s just meaningful para sa akin… right now. Anyway, Candice treated us sa Chef d’ Angelo last Sunday and I think hindi ako nakapag-thank you ng maayos. Hehe! SALAMAT CANDICE! Nakalimutan ko na namang on diet ako (yeah right!). Mukhang tuwing birthday at holiday celebrations na lang yata tayo magkikita. How sad… (pero at least nagkikita pa rin right?! Hehe!) Kahit na anong busy pa natin, it’s really great to have this kind of moment. Looking forward to another get-together pipz! Sa Christmas party naman okay?!

Speaking of Christmas…I’m looking forward to two reunions this coming holiday although I’m not yet sure if I can go. I’m really wishing I can but one might have to go on without me…Yan ang curse ng mga nagtratrabaho na. Walang long holidays.

I can’t help it… but since Christmas is coming, kailangang maging helpful ako. Tutulungan ko ang aking family, relatives and friends na hanapan ako ng regalo by providing them my Christmas wishlist! Hahaha! Assuming!!!

FAVE QUOTE TODAY:
I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.
- MARGARET MITCHELL

POEM OF THE WEEK:
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love - put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

- SARAH TEASDALE, I Am Not Yours

I haven’t bothered to compare the date of my last post with this new post… pero alam kong it has been a while since I got the time to type away words and just, well, update this blog.

Anyway, magpapasko na. Hindi ko pa masyadong feel coz ewan ko ba, pag dito sa Manila, hindi ko ma-feel na pasko kasi lahat ng tao… always on a rush! (no offense meant talaga) Pero lumalamig na ang mga madaling-araw. You can slightly feel it…
——————————-

Wala akong maikuwento except the fact that I’ve moved on with life… Yeah, I think I finally succeeded in doing so. So, kesa naman go on rambling with so-so stories, might as well fill this post with quotes from movies… MAybe, you’ll learn something from them… be inspired or whatever.

HORSE WHISPERER
Sometimes, what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far far greater.
Knowing is the easy part; saying it out loud is the hard part.


CITY OF ANGELS

I’d rather have one breath of her hair, one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand than an eternity without it.
Some things are true whether you believe in them or not.
What good would wings be if you couldn’t feel the wind in your face?
When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll say it was you.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME
Soul mates.It’s extremely rare but it exists. Sorta like twins souls turning into each other. Apparently even in death.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

Do you believe in love at first sight? I betcha don’t, you’re probably too sensible for that. Or have you ever, like see somebody? and you know that, if only that person really knew you, they would well, they would of course dump the perfect model that they were with, and realize that you were the one that they wanted to, just, grow old with. Have you ever fallen in love with someone you haven’t even talk to? Have you ever been so alone you spend the night confusing a man in a coma?

THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION
One shouldn’t be too hard on oneself when the object of one’s affection return the favor with rather less enthusiasm than one might have hoped.
You have to pick one person and make it work.


WHEN HARRY MET SALLY

I love that you get cold when its 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after the time I spend with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night, and it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s new year’s eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

THE NOTEBOOK
I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in respect, I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone’s who’s ever lived: I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.
Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They’re shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity and in a flash, they’re gone.


AMERICAN BEAUTY

It was one of those days when it’s minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it right? And this bag was like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that’s the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and… this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid ever. Video’s a poor excuse. But it helps me remember… and I need to remember… Sometimes, there’s so much beauty in the world I feel like I can’t take it, like my heart’ is going to cave in.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF DENIAL.

Finish each day/ and be done with it/ You have done what you could/ Some blunders and absurdities have crept in/ forget them as soon as you can/ tomorrow is a new day/ You shall begin it serenely/ and with too high a spirit/ to be encumbered by/ your old nonsense.
