falling in love...


loving someone simply means, loving the person with all your heart
without expecting anything in return...
accepting his/her flaws and weaknesses
acknowledging his/her strengths and capabilities.
it's having the willingness to sacrifice small things; even the great ones

loving is finding solace in one's embracing arms..
it is having the thrill and excitement despite seeing each other everyday
finding assurance and hope that a fragile heart can never be torn apart
it is missing someone so bad and you can't wait to see him/her the morning you wake up
then you'd realize how sad and lonely life can be without him/her by your side

when that someone occupies your mind and the thought of him/her makes you smile...
when your heart beats so fast and the world stops when your eyes meet
when an adrenaline rush makes you jump out of bed at once the moment he/she calls
when you're able to remember his/her smell by merely closing your eyes

that’s love…

loving someone is finding happiness and content in all things you do
it is giving out your best and looking forward for everything beautiful

love, oh how profound
unconditional... undying... unfathomable...
only those who feel that intense emotion is able to define it..

standing tall

when things are out of control, we think that there is nothing we can do
we just allow things to happen and don't fight back
we dwell in that situation and allow it to ruin us
then end up regretting..

but you can make a stand
you can take charge and fight back
you can take control and say no
and never allow that thing to happen again...

in this chaotic world, one has to be strong
one has to be tough
one has to stand tall and learn how to fight...

away


Leaving doesn’t mean forgetting what has been and what will be
It is not letting go of the feeling that you both shared
It is merely, going away for some good reasons
It is leaving behind a few good times of seeing each other often and enjoying each other’s companionship
Despite the distance, you vow to keep all the memories
And the feeling continues to linger…

just a thought

when things go wrong, you just want to dwell on the sadness that you feel
you just wanna empty your mind and feel the pain,
cry all you want and break open
just to let it all out and take away the hurt that your heart feels
after all, you'd feel a little better upon allowing yourself to undergo despair
and it helps to make you a better person
it makes you a little tougher
it makes you a lot stronger...

...

when time comes that you have to let go of everything that you hold dear...
a time when you have to harden your heart and accept the truth...
a time when you have to face reality..

you just have to be brave enough to look at life in a different perspective
in a whole new sanguine aspect…

yet, it’s quite obscure how you’d be able to tell yourself that it’s the other way around
that broken pieces can never be put back together,
that you have to stop believing that you can still mend the past

there are things I don’t understand
things that I don’t even want to think about
things that I hoped would end…

a life of bliss is what I ever wanted, and yet the further I try to experience and feel it,
the sadder I become…
ambiguous but this has to be…

hide away


it's hard to simply let go of things you kept for a long time
and leave everything behind

no matter how hard you try to seize what you ever wanted and dreamed of
life’s uncertainties continue to ruin what you believe as perfect
it destroys all marvelous things you yearn for…
it shatters all good things you thought would last…

life seems so hopeless… so vague… so tragic

morning thought


i'm thinking about my life...
how i've been and what have i become
i have a lot of things in mind, things that i can hardly understand...

i guess, im just too overwhelmed by this feeling.
i suppose, im just too carried away by a feeling i cannot explain to the point that im forgetting myself and my responsibilities
or maybe, i just intend to forget them...

being in a state of confusion bewilders me
it seems that things are getting complicated each day
or perhaps im making matters complicated...

all i ever wanted is to be happy, live a life of simplicity and contentment...
be able to see the people that i love and share my happiness with them

yet, i can't find serenity nor consolation...
or am i too blind to see that things can't go my way
afraid to accept that life isn't perfect after all..

whatever it maybe, i hope that id be able to seek answers
and be able to find what my heart truly longs for...

life as it seems

My life has been an endless battle for meaning
An unending search for contentment and relief
A lifelong quest for happiness,

Life has taken me into different horizons
It has taken me into a quest of untying the labyrinth of truth
It has taken me into roads left unraveled

Though everything in this world comes to an end
And all of life’s splendor will cease to linger
Fear cannot conquer my yearning to breathe...

Still,
I am eager to take another dip into life’s bitter sweet journey…

getting myself ready

Will I pass the board exam? Will I make to the top and get a license? There are so many questions I have in mind. Quite a few things I want to know about. I’ve been thinking on how to manage my time and deal with my preparations for the review. Monday is fast approaching and I’ve got two nights left! I haven’t even read the orange book or any other SW books I have kept in my old, dusty coffer. On the other hand, I am excited on getting myself ready for it. Why? In the first place, I’ll be staying away from home; which would mean, away from household chores and long idle hours of lying sluggishly in bed. I sort of like the latter part but I just can’t live a life like that at 26. I had to be in charge of my own life and do something productive this time.

What can I say about the board exam? I guess it’s a scary, mind boggling and heart thumping event of our post–graduate lives. Very draining and stressful I believe. A couple of teachers have offered their tips and advices to make us feel less tense about the whole thing. Well honestly, it made me feel a lot worse. I felt not just butterflies in my stomach but dragonflies and fireflies as well. Of the many things they have said, what I remembered was just the basic tip: Presence of mind. And the rest are history…

I know that preparing myself for the exam is not an easy thing. But despite the apprehensions and fears that my mind is dwelling upon, I am all set to experience that exhausting yet challenging thing those examinees have been talking about. I bet it’s all worth it. I just need to be inspired and motivated to make it to the top and hopefully pass the Social Work licensure exam.
