guys... I have just one question before i post my own reply to the messages here. how do you know if the love a person is offering you is for real? me nanliligaw kasi sa akin (natural lalake!) and di ko alam bakit ako pa ang napagtripan!!! he is very persistent and very serious about it kasi panay ang habol sa akin. im just afraid though na baka hindi totoo yung pagmamahal niya (wag niyo nang isipin na straight siya. hindi po!)... so to anyone there... tip or advice naman po... thanks...

if there is one thing i learned about love.... it comes with self control. never fall in love too hard and never let love be the center of your world. for when it fails, you are sure left for dead if not badly burned.

I've read the Purpose Driven Life of Rick Warren and I fully  agree that we were created for the single purpose of serving God.

What I believe that is very essential here is that when people know where they are going, why they are going there, what they will be doing when they get there and how do they get there, then all else falls into place. What is the joy of the journey however is the discovering of our basic and true purpose of our existence. It may at one point or the other very damn confusing. We may go about it like the Existentialist or we can be pragmatic about it. As one philosopher quiped, if the theory doesn't work scrap it and settle for one that will explain your situation. We all view the world through different eyeglasses and paradigms. What is essential at the end of the day is we have achieved what we believe is the very purpose of our life.

Purpose in Life? I could be very Existential about it... I could also be very lay man about it also. For me it all depends on how I see life at one point or the other. Sometimes, I see my purpose as reaching my full potential, of harnessing my talents before I expire from this world. After all, when I go, what else is there to remember me by? I could also be so poetic about it as to be so in love that my purpose is to love my darling and dearest mate. I could also be religious and utterly say that my purpose is to love God. I guess it all depends on what mood I am in when I ponder about it. On the whole, all of them can be lumped together for they dont conflict with each other.
