cheeky grin

just to show my kababawan when it comes to happiness and what makes my day:

======================================================
in an email kasi nagpaparamdam:

kahlan: smile! have a great week ahead...
shoe shine: or a cheeky grin! you, too!
======================================================

yeah, he knows me better than i expected... hahaha

a true soulmate

got this from my friendster bulletin and thught that this deserves a place n my blog. haven't finished reading this but the first few lines caught me.... and maybe, just maybe, i'm posting because i do believe in soulmates...

============

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around.

You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown atyou.

When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it ,knowing they will share in your excitement.

They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.

Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you upand show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.

You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant.

Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all.

A phone call or two during the day helps to get youthrough a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face.

In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby.

Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.

You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you.

You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

psalm 140*

when i opened my Bible today, my eyes fell on this passage:

Deliver me, Lord, from the wicked;
preserve me from the violent,
From those who plan evil in their hearts,
who stir up conflicts every day,
who sharpen their tongues like serpents,
venom of asps upon their lips.

Keep me, Lord, from the clutches of the wicked;
preserve me from the violent,
who plot to trip me up.
The arrogant have set a trap for me;
villains have spread a net,
laid snares for me by the wayside.

I say to the Lord: You are my God;
listen, Lord, to the words of my prayer.
My revered Lord, my strong helper,
my helmet on the day of battle,
Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked;
do not let their plots succeed.
Around me they raise their proud heads;
may the mischief they threaten overwhelm them.
May God rain burning coals upon them,
cast them into the grave never more to rise.

Slanderers will not survive on earth;
evil will quickly entrap the violent.
For I know the Lord will secure
justice for the needy, their rights for the poor.
Then the just will give thanks to your name;
the upright will dwell in your presence.

defying gravity

this is what i feel today. if only i have the courage to do this, I WILL!


(From Wicked)
You can still be with the Wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted

But I don't want it - No - I can't want it
Anymore

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur

I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's loveIt comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!


*i wanna cry,
i wanna scream,
i wanna punch someone,
i wanna bang the wall.

i just wanna forget
and be in bliss

like when you make love
hard and pass out
and you don't remember
anything else...

and if it's gonna be forever
(like amnesia)
maybe better so*

sh*t!

a fallen star said

stardust's definition of love

yvaine, a fallen star, said:

You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.

to waiter: "boss, meron ba kayo nung Ysabella chicken? (referring to the chicken special of Judy Ann)"

waiter: "aaah! sorry mam... wala po kami nun dito... chicken bacolod po ito... sa chicken inasal po yung Ysabella chicken."

oops! wow, mali!
