A Piece of Something

While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of things I don't have. Then I realized that the happiest of all people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we're missing until it arrives.


In the gateway of my heart I put a sign that says, "No Trespassing" but love came laughing and said, "I enter everywhere". Love knows no reason. Love knows no lies. Love defies reasons, love has no eyes, but love is not blind. It sees but it doesn't mind. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and you find you still care for the person. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feelings. It should aspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss, and ends with a tear.


When you love, you must not expect anything in return. If you do, you're not loving but investigating. If you love; you must prepare to accept pain. For if you accept happiness you're not loving but using. Don't go for looks. It can deceive: don't go for wealth, even that fades away: go for someone who makes you smile, make a dark day seem bright.



The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not twist them to fit our own image otherwise we love only the reflections of ourselves we find in them. Never impress someone for the rest of your life.


A sad thing about life is that you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be, and you just have to let him go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for the gift. We oftentimes don't see the reason why we don't always get what we want, but in the end of it all, we realize that what we wanted wasn't meant for us, after all, everything happens for a reason. When you feel down because you didn't get what you wanted, just sit tight and be happy because God is thinking of something better for you.


It hurts to love someone and not loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. It's always better to have found the courage in love even if you lose it in the end rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge. The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we didn't take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it. Remember that you only pass this way once.


Love no matter how hard you find it, it won't… No matter how hard you try, you won't get it. But when you're about to give up, it comes. Sometimes the love we are looking for is right in front of us—too close for the eyes to see. So close, your eyes and heart see itself. There are things you love to hear but you can never hear it from a person who says it with his heart. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want him or her doesn't mean that they don't love you with all that they have. There are so many stars in the sky, only some are radiant to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one, which is willing to shine for you forever even if your glance remains elsewhere.


God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives something better when He takes something away. Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and cut deep as you allow them to go. Challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them. In relationship, thank God you're hurting or crying. There you are given a chance to measure the importance of the person because you experienced suffering. We have no right to ask when sorrows come, "Why this happens to me?", unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. When God puts a tear in your eye, it's because He wants to put rainbow in your heart.


A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believe in the promise of love. No matter how long the time and distance. Never say goodbye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still feel you can take it. Never say you don't love the person anymore when you could not let go. True love doesn't have a happy ending, that's because true love doesn't have an ending.

On Communication

Sometimes i wonder, what is the best way to talk to the man of your life? Is it keeping quiet even when you want to ask a lot of questions? Or it is waiting for him to talk?

Literature suggests a lot, but then does it apply to all kind of man-specie? Is it true to woman-specie as well? Can reading cope up with all that is going on in a person's brain? Can we really provide answers to all that we are looking for? Who's going to give us the answer?

Anyhow, moderation i think is the answer to all these swirling questions in my mind right now... Moderation and timing as well--- from both parties of course.

One just have to remember, no communication would ever happen if the both ends do not put their heart and mind on the matter.

On Faithfulness (Odyssey)

In the tumultuous years of modern life, we have always wanted someone who could stand by and for us. Someone who would respect and view us as partners and not just mere servants or the like. Most of us, if not all of us, look for that someone who would be true and faithful to us. But how do we define faithfulness? Is it the ability to resist any form of temptation? Or, it is the ability to bear in mind the existence of our significant other? Does the definition of the word change through time?

Odysseus is loyal as he puts it. He came to live with Circe and Kalypso. He had enjoyed his years of stay with these two women. Now, isn't loyalty and faithfulness tied with one another? If they are, can we then consider Odysseus to be faithful still to Penelope? If they are not, then what is the difference between loyalty and faithfulness?

Hector and Andromache (Iliad)

The love of Hector and Andromache is exemplary.It is a love that is both tested by time and space (the proximity of lovers who are very near each other yet thousand miles separated due to their duties in their country, Troy).It would have been so difficult to see a loved one fight for dear life and it might be so painful to fight for dear life while knowing your loved one is seeing your defeat. A haiku will be a good salutation to a love that is so true.
