Have fun, always

Both students and professionals are no exception of stress. There's no age limit to those who feel stressed out now a days.  The best remedy to relieve ourselves from stress is to have fun. Let us do the things that gives excitement in our lives.  Go mountaineering if you must, go to the beach or go party 'til sun up. But always remember that too much of everything will ruin you.  So have fun in a way that you know your limits. This may sound hard and the point is not that understandable but you will know this yourself that you are having fun the right way.  Our lives are way too short to not have fun. To have fun is not only through outdoors, we can also have fun in work and in...

Expectations

Love is all about give and take. You give the same amount what you took from your partner. For your relationship to be in a state of balance.  But if we tend to give much more than what is needed - we then tend to expect much more from our partner, because if we were to tell the truth, if we give more we will receive more.  But that is not exactly true, because not all partners have the capacity and passion as you in exerting efforts.  We may deny the fact that we expect much more out from them, it does not change the fact that what we expect from them becomes the basis of how real and deep our love for each other is. We should learn never to expect anything grand from them...

Dry

Can't think of anything worth while to write for a while.  Been running dry with inspirations and motivations.  Been running dry on excitement in my life.  Don't know what to write in my every day basis.  Too much bottled up feels that can't be expressed by words alone but only thru silence and overthinking. Been too dry with myself where I can't think of how to make my life colorful like the time when I fell in love with a friend that I know can never be mine - but still I wish.

Never rush

All of us tread the given paths on our own pace.  We should never be pressured as to what others have already achieved. We will be there soon, not now but soon. We should never rush things, because there is a tendency we might regret the decisions we made on the spur of the moment.  It is just like the flow of how things go on this quote - "easy come, easy go". If we rush on things, it will surely end very quickly. Just like on relationships - if you never start off as friends in building a more sturdy base for your relationship, of course everything will end quickly as how quickly everything started.  But if we take things slow, we are able to build a much stronger bond, because we...

I helped the guy I love cheat

We sure do crazy things when in love. We see and feel right in the wrong things. We also get selfish and greedy. We simply become stupid. Is it bad of me if I say I felt no guilt towards his 6-year girlfriend when we did the deed?  I was in ecstasy for he was mine, even if just for that short period of time. It was very selfish of me to think he'd have feelings for me growing just because something happened between the two of us.  But everything I assumed proved me wrong when he acted as if nothing happened the very next day and every damn day when we see each other.  I was shattered even until today. He called what we did our closure, but closure to what I ask? - I painfully don't...

True Love hurts

Before my college graudation, we went to our school's strawberry farm and there we had our retreat - since our school is one of those catholic schools. I was emotionally broken at that time and I was trying my hardest not to show it to my friends, so I was having fun and all but deep down, I know I am not.  It was hard to pretend being the usual happy-go-luck me but I sure tried my best for them and for me.  It was at lunch a song was played that hit me through my heart which was like my heart was the one singing it with so much emotion to a point I was in tears yet with a sad and pained yet beautiful smile plastered on my face.  The title of the song played was 'Baby, I love you' by...

I thought I was already okay

I always share what's bothering me in a manner of joking and teasing. I rarely share about what has happened with me in a serious and deep way. I avoid that way of sharing because I don't want to sink any more deeper in my own thoughts that will surely leave me hurting with my hopes up.  I share in a manner of joking or teasing because I don't want to make a big deal out of things.  My big brother started seeing this girl whom I feel is not very welcome within the family but is well respected for is considered a guest of ours.  I asked him personal questions concerning their relationship.  But what happened was that our conversation made a complete 180 degree turn. I don't know...

The Love Guru?

To tell you hoestly, I have never been in a relationship not even once in my life.  I am scared to be in a relationship that I know will not last but continues with just lust.  I don't know how this happened but people with broken hearts always come up to me and share their woes and I end up giving out words that either break them more, lit a fiery fire of hope or simply help them realize their worth and what great waste they've made. I hear and understand the words that came from my mouth and I know I won't be able to use them when I am in one of the situations I have given an advice to. It has always been like this: "it's easier said than done"

One true love

I never once believed in the cliched slow motion or love at first sight. But reality hit me hard and good when 3 years ago, I met this transferee who suddenly piqued my interest. Little did I know, he has now become the guy who holds the power to weaken me.  What pains me is that, for these long 3 years, I have always been loving him and still am but he can't acknowledge his own great worth and can't accept my love I have for him. I have cried, be giddy, truly happy and got mad because of this one guy who stole my heart the first time we ever met.
