Life's tough, get a helmet.

I must say, this is my favorite show EVER! I learned oh so much from this show. I wish they would put this back on the air.. but all they play nowadays is that reality junk on tv. Whatever happened to GOOD tv?! I loved the love story between Cory and Topanga, totally makes me believe in love even more than I already do. They LOVED each other. And Shawn was the epitome of a best friend. He stuck with Cory through everything and always helped him when Topanga drove him crazy. And no one could ever forget Eric. He was the funniest!! Oh and everything I learned in life, I learned from Mr. Feeny.
"FEE-EE-EE-EENAYYY!" :D

"There’s going to be a lot of changes in your life. It’s not the changes that matter. It’s how you react to the changes. That’s what makes you who you are."
- Eric Matthews


"Friendship for example, is a real gift. It's given with no expectations and no gratitude is needed, not between real friends."
- Mr. Feeny

"There is no greater aspiration than to have love in our lives, Mr. Matthews. Romeo knew it and died for it. Others know it, and prepare salads. And those who don’t know it will sit in detention for the rest of their lives."
- Mr. Feeny

:D Someday I'll buy all the seasons. <3

Sounds very familiar,

8350.) I found my soulmate at age 14. We've been together ever since. I'm 18 now and things are just perfect.

I'm so sick of this hot heat.



Bring me Fall!

Bring me rain!

Bring me clouds,

Bring me wind,

Trees like fire.

The crunch of leaves.

Bring me autumn!

Don't stop, keep going.

I am ridiculously, and absolutely in love.
With life, with words, & everything that makes up the pigment of
your character
Don’t you realize how beautiful you are?
The tenderness of your blush,
the strong hold of your eyes,
the way your hands catch sun rays on your skin as you move them about,
graceful or not,
you possess movement that soothes,
and washes over me and leaves me blind
I was told this is what love does,
it removes all blemishes,
and makes even the most insecure person believe they can hold their head high.
Yes, love does make you do crazy things,
and yes love is all that is sweet,
and then the sharpest arrow ever aimed.
Oh, but how beautiful it is to fall,
even into the darkest and most confusing of holes,
they say the stars shine brighter there anyhow.

Because it makes me smile.



He writes lovely songs. :]

Another summer gone....

If there was anything I could give, I wouldn’t spare a thing… and simply give it all. But somehow things seem to change as our brains age, and soon we become greedy; even with love. And no matter how badly I want to say that no matter how deep my wrinkles get, I always want to be the way I am today….not become jaded and always love this fully. I fear that life will take it’s toll on me like it tends to do, and I’ll look at my beloved and ask ‘where did it all go?’.

But I'll do my best from here out, so I'll never have to ask that question.
Summer is practically over. And yes, I'm still here. I wanted so badly to go off to WCBC this fall, but I guess it's just not going to happen right now. Maybe it's just not God's timing for me. Who really knows? I sure don't. I get sad when people ask me if I'm leaving or when I'm going there.. and my answer is once again "No.." or "I don't know.."

I wish Bible college wasn't so much. That my family could afford it, but we all know that right now times are hard. Especially with my parents not working. I don't want to be a burden. That's something my Dad understands, my Mom... that's another story to tell.

So for everyone who is wondering why I'm not going this fall.. it's because I just can't afford it. It's not cause I don't want to go. I had a talk with my Dad, and he told me as much as he wants to send me there this fall it's just not possible. And on top of that my Kuya is graduating next year from the PI, and so he still has to worry about buying tickets for my Mom to go there to see him graduate from college and then bring both of them back. Maybe even my grandpa. And it's hard cause no one is working. I don't even know how we've made it this far. I guess it's all by God's grace. And I understand. I told him about the 1 year Bible and how I really just want to do that, and I could actually just take it online from WCBC, and he's up for it. I thought he would say no.. but he actually was happy to hear that.

So here's where I'm head..
I'm getting a job. I need to save up, and I want to help my parents.
I told my dad how I want to train to become a dental assistant.
Maybe in January I'll start my one year Bible online.
And so I'm working all these things out.

I'm excited though! It's hectic, but over all exciting! I'm moving on and up. Making something out of me. So that someday I can provide for my family when the time comes.

I'm just gonna keep on trusting in my Lord. I may not have what I want, but I have what I need. He provides just enough.


You have to keep moving, because if you are standing still, everything around you changes, but if you are moving, you are changing everything.

Don't catch me I'm falling.

Love isn’t about the romantic nights or gifts. It isn’t about fireworks going off around you when you have that first, real, kiss. Love isn’t about kissing in the rain and dancing beneath the stars. It isn’t about the big moments or the big surprises. Love is not a fairytale. Love is about still having the butterflies after years. It’s about the second looks and laying in bed wide awake, all night, because you can’t go to sleep mad at each other. It’s about being willing to sacrifice, literally, everything for someone, just because you care so deeply for them. It’s not about buying them gifts, but it’s about leaving them little presents here and there, just to remind them that you are constantly thinking about them. Love is about all of the little things, that add up to really big things. Love is rare and special, but should not be treated as if it will break. Love needs to be thrown around and beat up a little bit, worn in, but not worn down. Love needs to be a comfortable feeling, a place to go when NO ONE else in the world can relate. A safe place, where you know that no matter how ugly you look or how angry you are, you will still be… loved.


Just something that I hope makes you smile. :D

Nankurunasia!

Ah, I feel so rejuvenated! My fire for God is burning brighter than ever, and I just want to praise Him for all the wonderful things He’s done in my life.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on here. I find this way of blogging a little odd. (For me that is.) It's rare. Maybe I should do it more ofter? :)

Anywoo! How is everyone? I hope you guys are fantastic!

I’ll leave you guys with this:

How to Install LOVE

Tech Support: Hello … how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install
Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you
located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running ?
Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge
and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt
from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent
memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will
eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High
Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and
Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke
Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and
Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that
normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base
program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get
the upgrades.

Customer:
Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error
- Program not run on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set
up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In
non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before
you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support:
Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the
following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your
Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The
system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty
programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all
directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely
gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files.
Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying
themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but
eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed
and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure
to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in
turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.



I just want to thank God for everything! He works in mysterious ways sometimes and I’m just so glad that I have peace in my heart again.

When the men betray you - and they will betray you- use this as an opportunity to forgive, as a heightened experience from which you can make music, write poetry, paint paintings. Believe me, you will be privy to a world that’s more vivid than your crayon - more colorful than those snapshots your father is so fond of. A place where your creativity is queen. So plunge in, say yes, fall recklessly in love. Feel more deeply than your friends do. Hit the heights, descend into the depths. Kiss the lads smack on the lips and move on- like it did. I survived love and you will too.

Define.

What makes someone real? What makes someone not a "fake"
or a "poser?" Do people have real identities? Or is someone's
identity based completely on the opinions of others?

How do you know who you are? And how do you know if this
person is you? How do you know if other people see you the same
way you do? Are other people able to define you? Are you able
to define yourself? Will the two definitions ever be the same?



You try and make yourself have one identity, one definition.
But baby, we're not all reading from the same dictionary.

Drip, drop, drip, FLASH!

Happiness is a strange thing, it seems so self-explanatory but we all know how those things go. We know. We know that you can be happy from the simple things like strawberries or sunshine. We know that some things bring feelings like your insides are smiling and you sparkle and gleam like a thousand shiny new shoes. How long can it last? How long can we stay shiny and new and sparkly and good? If the feeling goes away, was the happiness real?

It feels real at first. You just know that you're happy. When it fades away it changes things. You feel like the happiness was just a flash of lightning. Bright and amazing but fast; blink and you'll miss it. Most of the time you forget it ever happened anyway. When there's lightning, there is always rain to wash it away.

Why can happiness never stick with us? Why is it the lightning and not the rain? You usually remember the rain. You remember the puddles and the smell of wet asphalt the next morning. The clear air that makes you feel like the whole world just took a cold shower. Nobody remembers the lightning. Most people are scared of it. They don't want to understand it. Get rained on and you feel cleansed. If a bolt of lightning strikes and you happen to be under it? Good luck with that.

Happiness shouldn't be electricity. Sure, electricity is flashy and bright and fun and all things appealing but rain?

Rain lasts.

Sitting in the dirt quite happily .










The end of the year is approaching fast. I have a lot more to deal with this year, both academically and personally. But I'm going to be patient. I'm going to keep it positive. Take the tomorrows as they come, and before I know it, it will all be worth it. I know I have it in me to not give up, to keep going, to always see the brighter side of things, and to not let the ominousness of any situation bring me down. I'll learn, laugh, and love the days away.

Chapters.

I have a lot of these in my book. A lot. And they aren't always pretty, but then you will come across a scene, and it will leave a mark on your heart. Those scenes are the ones that keep me going, because I know if I wait, another scene is going to return. Another page will be turned and the story will be happy again.

After everything, I still believe in happy endings. Why should I stop?

I feel like I am growing up a lot lately. I am not sure I like all of it or the things I am learning. But growing up is inevitable. So I am taking it with class and trying. I want to try more and more every day.


I think the thing I realized most lately, and the underlining reason for this post is that people are fallible. As much as I want everyone to be perfect, they are not. I am not. Friends will hurt you, Family will hurt you. The love of your life will hurt you. Strangers will hurt you. Its what you do with it that counts.

Forgiveness is hard, but it's also important. I don't want to let them win. I refuse to be the victim. Someone once told me people are in our lives for " a reason, a season, or a lifetime" and sometimes that's just the way it is. You can't stay in contact with everyone, even if it hurts. We just have to realize some people are just part of our journey.

With that being said, I realized more and more who I want in my life. I used to say "need". But I really feel like everyone has the possibility of leaving, and if they do, I know no matter what, I am going to be okay. God is with me. Everyone can leave me, but God will never leave my side. I am never truly alone. Even if it feels like it sometimes. Back to what I was saying.. I realized who I want in my life, who I want to make an effort to keep a relationship with. It's an interesting feeling, and even more interesting that I am going to meet more people someday, and just add to that list.


I feel very aware of life. Very awake. Who knows what tomorrow holds. Whatever it is... this woman will be more than okay.
