Love Is

What hurts most? ..when you can’t fight for that one thing that would make you happy.. ..I may never be the girl you look forward to seeing every day… but I will always be the girl who will look out for you each and every day.. Sad Girl: “don’t make me feel that i’m just a selfish jerk just because I made you cry”! Sad Guy: “then don’t make me feel like I did nothing for you when I almost died crying just to see you smile…” Most are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And some ask ourselves: Will our actions echo across the centuries? Will strangers hear our names long after we are gone, and wonder who we were, how bravely we fought, how fiercely we loved? Love isn’t when you can’t sleep… it’s when you want to keep your eyes open… Love isn’t when you keep holding on… it’s when you learn to let go… Love isn’t when you kill yourself with jealousy… it’s when you understand… Love isn’t when you fall for someone… it’s when you catch that person when he falls… Love isn’t when you see him ev

Thank You!

It is indeed a wonderful day! I am really grateful to have known all of you - from my Kindergarten friends, Grade School, High School, UP Block mates, Org mates, Batch mates, Dorm mates, Professors, Teachers and Friends, MLM, eTelecare Global Solutions, Customer Contact Center, ePerformax, WNS and IBM Global Process Services colleagues, customers, clients and friends, to all those people whom I've met on the streets or wherever I go, to all my relatives and my beloved family, who have been an inspiration to me as I go on with my journey. Thank you very much and you are a blessing to me! (Speech lang, baket, birthday ko?! ) It is still my dream to put you in a place where all of you will meet the important characters of my own story. (At birthday party sana yun, hindi kasal, okay?) I love you all! ;))

Heart Talks #9: Give Love

Let us always remember that, in the end it is not how much love we have received that would count, but how much love we have given and how much more we are willing to give even without the promise of earning it back.

Heart Talks #8: Love Notes

Love Notes to Live by Joe d' Mango 1. Always remember that when we lose someone we love, there will be pain in our hearts. But when there is pain, there will be strength and courage, and with that, there will always be the hope of finding someone who will love us and someone we can love even more. 2. Sometimes we just have to control our feelings for someone. Truth is, our feelings doesn't know what's right or wrong. That's why our minds reason with us so there can be balance. Otherwise, we would always trip as we aimlessly follow what our hearts dictate. 3. A relationship will always need trust and faith. Trust, so you could keep a relationship strong, and faith, so you can build a strong foundation of love that could weather all storms to make it last for as long as you wish to. 4. A relationship is a two way street. It's never all your fault, nor is it all the fault of your partner. Both of you have to work together to make it work. And, rememb

Heart Talks #7 Sustainability

Sustainability isn't about the quick fix or the cheap solution. Generally it means making a commitment and trying, as best we can, to honor it. In any worthwhile enterprise, from protecting the environment to preserving a relationship, we are going to encounter difficulties. The good life is not a problem-free life. In point of fact, the process of overcoming adversity often produces some of the most rewarding experiences we will ever have. Human beings need to be challenged to 'test their mettle,' as it were. Throwing in the towel at the first sign of trouble or small inkling of distress may be the easy thing to do, but it doesn't help our self-concept. Most of life's troubles can be overcome if we are willing to work through them with patience. - Michael A. Schuler

Heart Talks #6 Supreme Happiness

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life. - Alexandre Dumas

Nandito Ako...

Naalala kita. Lagi kang sumasagi sa isip ko at walang isang saglit na inisip ko kung kamusta kana? Hindi ko kayang lokohin ang sarili ko na sabihing, "wala akong pakialam sayo o "hindi ka na importante sa akin" o "tapos na ang lahat". Hindi pala. Hindi ko magawang dayain ang sarili ko na alam kong sa bawat sandali eh lagi kong iniisip na sana, sana talaga, naalala mo din ako. At sana talaga, kahit minsan, na-miss mo din ako. After all this time, i pretend to be cool and okay with everything. Deep inside I am hurting. But I'd rather keep you as a friend and enjoy the moments together than don't have you at all. I miss all the good memories we've shared and still hoping and praying that someday, you'd still gonna be in my arms again. ♥ ♥ ♥

Heart Talks #5: Love

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.” ------------------ Heart Talks are messages from J's Heart for A.

Lean L. Alejandro (Kasaysayan Ng Pilipinas)

Muling umigting ang dugong aktibista. Nabasa ko ang post ng Diliman Republic sa Facebook tungkol kay Lean Alejandro. Apat na taon pa lang ako nang mabaril sya sa headquarters ng BAYAN nung Sept. 19, 1987. Mas napalawig ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya ng mag-aral ako sa University of the Philippines sa Baguio. Isa syang huwaran ng tunay na lider na ipaglalaban ang demokrasya at katarungan.

Only Time Is Capable Of Understanding How Great Love Is

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others…… including Love. One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?” Richness answered, “I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you.” Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.” I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.” Next, Love saw Sadness pas

Heart Talks #4: I'm With You

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.” ------------------ Heart Talks are messages from J's Heart for A.

THIS IS IT!

This isn't Michael Jackson's supposed series of concerts in London turned Movie because of his death nor This is it Bar-B-Q, Seafood & Chargrill you can find online or in the US. This is my stuff. Yeah, mine. =) Today is going to be a start of a new beginning. A start of another endeavor of becoming a success! New job. New office. New environment. New schedule. New boss. New assignments. New opportunities. New people to work with. And of course, new friends. 7am - 4pm. The last time I was in the morning shift was in 2005 where I had to change schedules thrice a week to ensure coverage on my team. (Opening to Closing). I had agents coming at 8pm and latest, 7am. I needed to be in the opening, mid and closing schedule to make sure i'd be able to have one-on-one coaching with them. Haggard! 5 minutes away from home. I thought my apartment in Cebu was the closest where I can take a jeepney (Php7.00) or a cab (Php70.00) going to the office. That was a 10-minute drive. This

The Pull of Passion

The Pull of Passion By Jethsel M. Allego Every time I want to move forward in my life or job, I add the energy of ENTHUSIASM to what I do. Enthusiasm is energy, it's an inward feeling moved outward. Energy moves me forward. Energy, the feeling of it, inspires me, moves me, and excites me. This is what drives my PASSION for performance. Enthusiasm must start from WITHIN. It starts with my desire to accomplish. It starts with a PASSION. Something I am excited about. I know my world will reflect my attitude. If I’m excited, passionate, feel good about what I’m doing, I’ll get this back as sure as I see myself when I look in the mirror. If I’m dull, the world around me will reflect that. I am passionate because this is what I enjoy doing. It's almost like a pull, a tug inside me, trying to move me to the place where I am celebrated, not tolerated. The company has somehow inspired me in everything that I do and therefore taught me to inspire others. I learned that Passion is no

Sepanx!

I really thought this is going to be easy. I know letting go and saying good byes aren't my forte but with all the experiences i have been through, i thought i can get through this easily. But no. The teary and tantrum-filled goodbyes really broke my heart and been longing for understanding and looking for strategies how we can cope with this situation. They say separation anxiety are only for babies. I can imagine how we've never matured in this aspect, or should i say, we've been really attached to one another and we are having a hard time being separated. I can imagine. We were both afraid of- losing each other (even though we knew that we are just a text or a phone call away) being separated physically because we've been stick together for so long and we can't remember how it is to be alone or at least with someone else not meeting again because of conflict of time and schedule These are fears - FALSE EXPECTATIONS APPEARING REAL. See, our fear

Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

I was browsing through some motivational stuff and read through this write up. I know you can relate and you'd find this story really touching.I know you can always find time reading it. :) When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee . A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar And proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more

Heart Talks #3: Stupid Love

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” ------------------ Heart Talks are message's from Tara's Heart f

One More Chance

It’s about how true love waits for, hopes for and needs one more chance… The movie was shown a couple of years ago and I've seen it for the Nth time already. I should say that this movie has touched more than a million hearts and gave hope to a lot of broken relationship. The lines on this film are simply heart-warming and sometimes, heart-breaking. The movie stars John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo from the huge TV hit “Maging Sino Ka Man” (Whoever You Are). And of course, because of my schedule, i didn't see the soap. I'll get a DVD and watch it then. :) In a nutshell, it’s a love story of two people who are in a relationship for 5 years but she found out that she needs to end it to find herself. He begs her not to leave him but she didn’t listen. Then he moved on, but not without having a hard time trying to get her back first and then when nothing is working, he let her go. In the process of finding herself, she realized that she can’t go on living without him so she t

Mrs. Thompson and Teddy

Her name was Mrs. Thompson. As she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs.Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers. At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy

Heart Talks #2 Keep Love

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved bring a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring. - Oscar Wilde ------------------ Heart Talks are messages from Tara's Heart for T.

Who Do I Need To BE?

I am in the process of improving myself and it hasn't been easy. Believe me, it's been tough. I am taking 1 step at a time. I am starting here. I really had a hard time deciding for myself whether to take the big leap or not. It was a choice between being selfish or caring for other people. Or I would say, it was a choice between my own personal career growth and helping other people grow. I had to make a choice, for my self. I remember 1 time when i got an email from a mentor saying... ***EVERY level of income DEMANDS a different you. Let me say it again. ***EVERY level of income DEMANDS a different you. He exactly said, "You can’t make $30,000 a month carrying around a $3,000 a month mindset. You can’t make $10,000 a month, carrying around a $1,000 mindset. I see people getting in trouble every day because they don’t understand this. Ask yourself this: Who do I need to BE to make the income I deserve? What habits do I need to have? What though

The Mask I Wear

Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear for I wear a mask. I wear a thousand masks- masks that I'm afraid to take off and none of them are me. Pretending is an art that's second nature with me But don't be fooled, for God's sake, don't be fooled. I give you the impression that I'm secure That all is sunny and unruffled with me within as well as without, that confidence is my name and coolness my game, that the water's calm and I'm in command, and that I need no one. But don't believe me. Please! My surface may be smooth but my surface is my mask, My ever-varying and ever-concealing mask. Beneath lies no smugness, no complacence. Beneath dwells the real me in confusion, in fear, in aloneness. But I hide this. I don't want anybody to know it. I panic at the thought of my weaknesses and fear exposing them. That's why I frantically create my masks to hide behind. They're nonchalant, sophisticated faca

In-Love

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because t

11:11

I saw this last night as I go through the pain of my headache and again on my notebook's time this morning. I probably started noticing 11:11 on digital clocks, receipts, practically EVERYWHERE a few years back. I was told that these are “WAKE UP CALLS or reminders”. They say these are angels or SPIRIT GUIDES. Others believe that it is an auspicious sign and others say that it signals a spirit presence. One thing is for sure, every time I see 11:11, something good is happening. :) I have been wondering and started to think what the message is all about (if there really is one). With my desire to understand and learn more about this, I have read several websites that describes what 11:11 is all about. But my QUEST is still on. I'm not sure.. What's 11:11 for?

Etiquette for Mistresses.. and what wives can learn from them by: Julie Yap-Daza

Etiquette for Mistresses.. and what wives can learn from them by: Julie Yap-Daza Allow me to share to you the following etiquette for mistresses: 1) Mistress is not Mrs. Know you place. No.2 is not No.1, and ne’er the twain shall meet. And they better not. 2) Even if he tells you he loves you more than his wife, don’t let that go to your head. As a rule, men are liars. 3) Mistresses should be ready to give up Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Holy Week and his birthday. Mistresses are also called “holiday orphans,”… 4) Be friend his secretary but avoid all contact with his driver. Unless your married man is carrying on with his secretary, she can be an invaluable asses in your relations or relationship with him-relations as in sex, relationship as in a working or living arrangement. 5) As tempting as it seems, don’t patronize the wife’s beauty parlor, jewelry shop, dress shop, or father confessor. 6) DON’T CALL HIM, WAIT FR HIM TO CALL. 7) To be seen with him in public on
