A Real Man

Is honest. Takes care of his health. Goal oriented. Gives up his seat for a woman. Tells the worst truth instead of a sweet lie. Listens. Reads. Is well groomed. Is secure enough to have her stand in the limelight. Smiles. Is romantic. Minds his manners. Holds doors for others. Is trustworthy. Is on-time. Treats service personnel with the respect they are due. Loves and respects his parents. Makes mistakes. Doesn't hold mistakes others make against them. Understands that he doesn't know everything. Makes a conscious effort to learn something new everyday. Loves hard. Says what he feels. Reads this without feeling offended. 

You Get Attached, Fast.

You know what your problem is? You get attached, fast. And once you're attached to someone, you do everything to please them and make them happy. It's never been about what you want, it's always everyone's needs before your own. You give out too many chances to people, who quite frankly, do not deserve them. They take advantage of you, and you become a pushover. But you're okay with that,  because they're in your life and that's all you ever really wanted. And even if they screw you over, you'll still be there for them. Because that's you, that's who you are. Once you get attached to someone, they capture your heart and they always have a place there. And that is why it's so hard for you to let that person go.

Love Thyself

Sometimes when the truth is revealed it can put people in state of shock. You have to let go of energies that no longer serve a purpose. You have to release the past in order to become free. You have to let go of your fear of the unknown and embrace life on its own terms. You have to grow. Earth is a school to human development. If you find yourself in constant repeated failure, remember the new people you meet will always remain the same. Just different players, same game. The people won't change until your mind changes. In other words, until you deal with the true self not the ego self and address the issues, you will be stuck in time going around in circles playing the same game never graduating to the next level. It's time now, LOVE YOURSELF.

He's not perfect, you aren't either.

You may not be his first, his last or his only. He loved before he may love again. But if he loves you now, what else matters? He's not perfect, you aren't either; and the two of you may never be perfect together. But if he can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you can break his heart. So don't hurt him, don't change him, don't analyze and don't expect more than he can give. Smile when he makes you happy, let him know he makes you mad, and miss him when he's not there.

The Chasing Game

I guess our parents stayed together because they didn't have 5,000 people following them or liking their post at their disposal when relationship got hard.

Nowadays, when our relationshit hits the rock we just rant and get high off the false sense of security and appreciation. We value our worth based on comments and messages filled with colorful words that have no depth.

Meanwhile, the person that loves you when there is no filter on your photo becomes an option, and the res...t of the world who just sees your representation become a priority.

Don't lose what's real chasing appears to be.

Home

We often search for the best love stories—those ones which could make us cry and give those butterflies in our stomach. What we don’t know is, the best love story we could ever find in our entire lives is just found at home; in our own sweet home; in the core of those who were right there beside us from the very start.

Life is an Interesting Journey

Life is an interesting journey.

You never know where it will take you,

peaks and valleys, twist and turns.

You can get the surprise of your life;

Sometimes on the way to get where you are going, you might think this is the worst time of my life.

But at the end of the road through all the adversity, if you get where you wanted to be, you remember whatever don't kill you makes you stronger and all the adversity was worth it on your way to the top.

You do anything but how will you get your life back when you get there?

Hindi Imposible

Simple lang naman ang buhay. 

Pagod na, magpahinga ka. 

Ayaw mo na, sabihin mo. 

Sawa ka na, itigil mo.

Nasasaktan ka na, umiwas ka.

Nahihirapan ka na, ihinto mo.

Nagmumukha ka nang tanga, wag mo nang ulitin pa.

Gusto mo nang sumaya, magdesisyon ka.

Madaling sabihin, mahirap gawin.

Pero kung may tapang ka, hindi imposibleng gawin.

Falling in Love is a Cooperative Effort

Why does a girl work months or years to change a man's habit and complain afterwards that he's changed? In the first place, you know who the hell he is and you still keep on trying and pushing to the limits. Remember, you can't change someone who doesn't see an issue in their life. Falling in love is a cooperative effort, you don't need to set yourself on fire to keep the other person warm. So, don't settle. If you don't like the menu, then leave the restaurant. At the end of the day, you'll get hurt... and blame 'all boys are the same'.

Kwaderno

Ang buhay ay parang kwaderno. Subukan mo mang burahin ang mga masasama at masasakit na pangyayari, dudumi lang ang pahina at kung ipipilit mo talaga, baka mapunit mo pa. Sa halip na mayroon kang maisaayos sa buhay mo, lalo mo pang sinira.

The Frog

Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.
As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature.
Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore.
At that point, the frog decides to jump out.
But, unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature.

Very soon the frog dies.

What killed the frog?

Many of us would say the boiling water. But, the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.

We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to confront.
There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action. If we allow people to exploit us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so.
We have to decide when to jump. Let us jump while we still have the strength.

Think about it.

Latay ng Buhay

Buong akala ko ang palo ni nanay ang pinakamasakit. 

Tingin ko sa sarili ko, ako na yata ang pinakabugbog na bata sa buong daigdig. Minsan papasok ako sa skwelang luhaan, minsan naman may pasa at minsan naman ay duguan pa. 

Pero alam kong ginawa ni nanay yun dahil nagkamali ako. 

Ginawa nya yun para ipaalala sa akin ang mga maling nagawa ko; upang ako'y matuto at magtanda. 
 

Oo, tama si nanay, mali talaga yung mga nagawa ko, kaya niya ako pinapalo. 

Pero dahil dun, akoy natuto; ako'y naging malakas, naging matatag at naging disiplinado.

Salamat, nay! 

Naabot ko ang aking pangarap, naging malakas akong humarap sa mga pagsubok. 

Pero may mas masakit pa pala sa palo ni nanay. 

Yung palo na wala mang bagay na hinahampas pero ito'y tagos sa puso. Puso'y nagdurugo, nagkasugat-sugat, ilang buwang ramdam ang kirot hanggang sa naghilom, pero ito'y nag-iwan ng isang malaking latay. 

Ang latay na kailanmay di na maaalis sa aking puso. Ito'y para bang peklat na kapag kakamutin ay pwede pang dumugo ulit at mararamdaman ang kirot. Ang peklat na ito ay nagsilbing paalala sa isang mapait na kahapon pero nagbibigay naman ng isang magandang aral. 

Mga aral na kailanma'y hindi itinuro nung nag-aaral pa lamang ako, hindi itinuro ng aking mga magulang at ni minsan itinuro kanino man. 

Sapagkat matutunan mo ang mga aral na ito pag naranasan mong madapa, masugatan at muling bumangon.

Kaibigan, kung ano man ang pagsubok na meron ka ngayon, iyan ay isa lamang sa mga bagay na magbibigay aral sa buhay mo. 

Walang permanente sa mundo, ang mga yan ay lilipas din. 

Huwag mo naman sanang sisihin ang kanino man dahil lahat ng dumating sa ating buhay, masakit man ito, ito'y isang tagong biyaya na pinagkaloob sa atin; upang tayo'y maging malakas at maging handa para sa hinaharap. 

Mabuhay ka, kaibigan.

Itutuloy...
