to all dreamers, ambitious..

 

Dont give up on your dreams or your dreaming.

Dont let life cut your line as you reel in those dreams, hold on tightly, keep reeling, dont give up grab that net and if they look like they're about to leap out of the net after you've caught them, jump in after them and keep on swimming till u drown if you have to... but dont ever let go of those dreams...

i am posting here a forwarded letter i got from my email. its worth thinking actually....

 

The one that got away

 

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared

something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you

first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the

one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and the one that got away.

 

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was

great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault

in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't

fall the right way, I suppose.

 

I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner

that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an

equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way

that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

 

How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not

ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it

just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become

dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and

the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and

little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

 

Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready

to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might

not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll

work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll

make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.

 

So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find

yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is

different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've

become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no

telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a

long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter.

All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away,

is the first person you think about.

 

You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?"

You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?"

That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your

life.

 

If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got

away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is,

this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize

that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of

your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past

it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's

never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.>

 

Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's

the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that

person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when

you're old and gray and reminiscing.

 

But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's

not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a

"one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?

 

Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've

dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one

that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."

 

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the

timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know,

I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to

someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

 

 

post script: sweetie, ALMOST but not quite! hey you.... yes you! ;)

hey.... that's nice......

Kapatid,

 

You asked me, before I left for overseas, manong, will you come back to us?

 

I knew what you meant, my dear sister. Our family seeks my return, for me to put on that weighty, brutal mantle that so many of them have the past century or so. Already the older generation is faltering, and soon, they will not be able to carry on.

 

You know, being yourself my proven equal in matters of strategy, that I could choose to let go and live as I please. Why not? I am not beholden to anyone or anybody.

 

But my dear sister, closest to me in mind and in heart, do you remember that time when you ran to me, scared, after your temper snapped and you beat that bully classmate of yours in the locker room until his nose broke sideways and six of his teeth cracked? He had to be carried bleeding to the clinic. Do you remember how instead of reprimanding you, we defended you to the Principle and threatened the boy's parents, in public, to control their bully child or worse would happen to that boy and yes, to them? Do you remember that lessons that day, that blood is thicker than water, that family will defend you, and that if you are on the right, strike, strike hard and let your anger be felt, and we will be with you?

 

I am still with you, and though I am far, still, I will whisper in your ears the black magic and secret tricks that run this world. I am family. I will come back.

 

You are not convinced that I shall return? Only time will tell, you say, in that voice that betrays just how much you have seen of the real world in only two decades.

 

Realize that I need to test myself against the toughest assignments in my chosen field. To work and strive besides among the best engineers, to find the measure of myself. A general can not know how much his army can accomplish, if he has not seen their measure and realized their potential. Either he will lose them assaulting a fortress beyond their abilities, or waste their time defending a mere footpath.

 

I need to know if but roughly, so I can plan the remaining decades given to me.

 

It is not given to me to discern the future. All that is given to me is the desire to make a difference where it counts the most.

 

You know that. And on that knowledge, you should know that I will come back.

 

your manong,

A. Segui-Villaflor

YOUR WORLD

by: evil eye

 

The Sun… my eyes

Staring at it will not burn you

But fill your senses with awe and wonder

 

The clouds…my touch

Feel it caress your skin, surround you

Envelop you

 

The vast landscapes…my body

Trample on it as much as you want

Exhaust all its resources

 

The cool valley wind…my breath

Feel it blow your tresses ever so gently

From side to side

 

The rivers and the ocean…my blood

Drink in It, bathe in it, cleanse yourself

Refine your being

 

The Stars…my love

My infinite love.

Honey,

 

We all want to live forever. That is the driving force behind all Life. From simple slime, to dinosaurs, to humans on space shuttles; the spark of life within us all seeks to survive, improve, flourish, and spread. That is its creed.

 

In a hundred years we have gone from sailing ships to B1B superbombers. In twenty we have gone from the first apple to the Pentium 4 sitting in my desk, to Cray supercomputers. The pace is accelerating beyond all belief.

 

In a thousand years, we will be mastering the galaxy itself, the stars our playground. What excitement!

 

I want to live to see that! I want to be part of that! and you too, my darling, my love, my sweet, you to want a slice of it? I see the answer in the gleam of your beautiful light-brown eyes. The hunger, the need, to live forever, to see the story unfold. To feel the thrill!

 

And so we shall live forever! Come with me and continue our line, that our blood, combined, may carry on through the ages, and the millenia to come. That so long as it not fail, then, a part of us shall always live on.

 

Look at our families, my darling, so legendary and diverse and dangerous in many ways. Will the legends and stories stop here, with us? Is it all going to end with our time? NO! With an optimism that can only come from the billions of years that Life has struggled in this planet, we say, NO! We shall continue, we shall struggle, we shall persevere, you and me, together, we shall live forever.

 

F. Jurado-Villaflor

 

PS, maybe that is why sex can be such a blast. It is Life's way of saying, you did good boys and girls!

darling,

 

...in paul's words-

"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday."

 

 

with the pain i'm going through, it would be tempting to wish we've never met but how can i regret spending 5 wonderful years of my life with you

if God will only hear my plea, i wanna spend eternity with you, but i do not deserve you so He's taking you home

how can i even think of a future without you, how can i ever believe i could love again when you're taking my heart to the grave

i can't go through a day without thinking of you, i can still smell your scent on my pillow; i see the cluttered bedroom and i remember how you would put things in order, even when you were already weak being the neat freak that you are; when i see the tiles on the bathroom, the ones you helped me install, when i watch tv, eat at the dining table the ones we bought together, i'll think of you; when i'm caught in traffic, i'd remember how we used to sped past all of them on your bike; when i hear john, paul, george and ringo, i'd remember how you made me fall with their songs; even my e-mail password reminds me of you...

 

how can i even think of living, when you're gone

My dearest,

 

I wanted to surprise you, send you something really special,

as special as my feelings towards you,

Give to the most beautiful thing, more beautiful or as beautiful as you.

But my search ends in vain.

No words can explain what i feel

towards you

and nothing comes close compared to your beauty.

Dear...

 

thank you.

that even for a fleeting moment you've touched my life.

though you've always shown an aura of confidence, stability, contentment and full of happiness.. i know that within you - you are not. its all a facade. and i feel honored cause somehow i was able to see that side of you.

though most of the times you act as cold as an ice and even as hard as a rock. still know that deep inside you're still a person with a soft heart in search for true love.

 

you make me smile. you make me laugh. you never gave up on me when i started fooling around and being too childish.

 

sadly, as the tides change and flowers wither, so must our relationship reach its untimely death. i reckon it is temporary madness to want you back into my life when you can never find it in your heart to do so. so flee, young rogue, and be free. for in my mind, in my heart, and in my soul, you will always be a fond memory. a part of my life worth reminiscing. worth remembering.

 

justme.
