of instincts...

one thing i learned this week from oprah is that trust your instincts. hmm... if one day you came up with this feeling that says "uh oh, there's something wrong here." oprah says trust that feeling because if you do not act on it, everything will be too late.

siyempre, the context behind this statement is that when you see your child with a grown man and your instinct tells you that there is something wrong. follow it.

wala lang. gusto ko lang ishare kasi magagamit ko ito. trust my instincts. hahaha. kahit na malagay ako sa sandamakmak na isyu. bahala na. hehe. joke. well, i've been following this fictional finalism for the past few years and sometimes it holds true, but sometimes it does not. good luck. hehe.

i'm slowly turning into a psych-addict. may topak yata ako eh. so kung meron kayong problema sikolohikal, contact me. i will try to read you. hahaha.

what is LOVE?

For all you people who say "I love you"
when you have no clue what love is exactly!!!
Something to ponder upon.....

Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing
and is your voice caught within your chest??
-It isn't love, it's LIKE.

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them,
am I right??
-It isn't love, it's LUST.

Are you proud, and eager to show them off??
-It isn't love, it's LUCK.

Do you want them because you know they're there??
-It isn't love, it's LONELINESS.

Are you there because it's what everyone wants??
-It isn't love, it'S LOYALTY.

Are you there because they kissed you,
or held your hand??
-It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE.

Do you stay for their confessions of love,
because you don't want to hurt them??
-It isn't love, it's PITY.

Do you belong to them because their sight
makes your heart skip a beat??
-It isn't love, it's INFATUATION.

Do you pardon their faults because
you care about them??
-It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP.

Do you tell them every day
they are the only one you think of??
-It isn't love, it's a LIE.

Are you willing to give all of your
favorite things for their sake??
-It isn't love, it's CHARITY.

Does your heart ache and break
when they're sad??
-Then it's LOVE.

Do you cry for their pain,
even when they're strong??
-Then it's LOVE.

Do their eyes see your true heart,
and touch your soul so deeply it hurts??
-Then it's LOVE.

Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible
mix of pain and relation pulls you
close and holds you there??
-Then it's LOVE.

Do you accept their faults because
they're a part of who they are??
-Then it's LOVE.

Are you attracted to others,
but stay with them faithfully without regret??
-Then it's LOVE.

Would you give them your heart,
your life, your death??
-Then it's LOVE.

Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do we love? Why is it all we search for in life?
This pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for?
This torture, this powerful death of self? Why?

The answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE.
It is such an addictive thing that even people
who are not having it wish to experience it
and share it with others as well.

power of the INTIMATE conversation

i felt very much blessed for the past few days. i have received the graces from the experience of an intimate conversation with people i really am close to. luckily, i was able to face my fears and open myself up even more. as much as i would like to invest on more intimate personal relationships this year, i have to make the extra effort of facing my fears and opening myself up to reveal to others who i am. the REAL me.

i am reaping the benefits of realness. i feel very much at peace and comfortable. gusto ko tuloy ishare sa iba ang mga naishare ko pero masisira ang ganda at ang pagkadalisay ng pagiging bukas at totoo. ang kapalit nito ay ang totoong pagtanggap ng aking kausap at higit sa lahat, ang pagtitiwala at pagbubukas din nila sa akin.

amen.

the DEBUT and other THINGS

nothing really really magical. nothing really really spectacular. essentially, it was just love. siguro, umasa akong kikiligin o mapapamangha sa antas na hindi ko matanto. subalit, ang tangi kong kinamanghaan ay ang pagmamahalang bumabalot sa debut ni geoann.

yun muna. part two next. wala na akong prepaid. hahahaha. saka, magpapabuhos ako ng mga reflections ko sa mga susunod na entries. prameees.

PAG-IBIG

nakakatuwang isipin na medyo nasa loving mood karamihan ng tao ngayong kasisimula ng bagong taon. hindi ko alam kung bakit pero ewan ko. siguro, salamangka ito ng pag-ibig. mula, noong may nagkwento ng kanilang pagtataya sa pag-ibig, tila lahat, gustong umibig o makadama ng pag-ibig. hay nakoh. ang pag-ibig nga naman... ganyan talaga... masaya!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

happy new year!
welcome year 2005.

let's pray for a better economy and peace for our nation for the coming year. i hope 2005 would be as colorful as 2004 but with less disasters and catastrophes.

para mas masaya!
