the strong became weak...
the genius became stupid...
and the brave became a coward...

it happened because of one thing...

they fell in love...

its natural to feel disappointed when things dont go your way. its easy to think "i cant do it, so why try?" but no matter how scared you are of making a mistake or how discouraged you may become, never give up. because if you dont try and if you dont go after what you want in life, it wont come to you.

love fills no burden, values no labors, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that all are lawful and possible for it to do.

"only in this life can you do good, what awaits you in the next life is not the opportunity to do better, but the reward for having done your best.."

trials are like fire, they can destroy or strengthen you depending on your character and outlook in life. remember, the fire that melts butter is the same fire that hardens steel.

quotes from the witch of portobello

did anyone teach u how to love? and yet, you're as capable of love as any other human being. how did u learn? u didnt, u simple believe. u believe therefore u love.

the best way to know who we are is often to find out how others see us. this doesnt mean yhat we should do what others expect us to do, but it helps us understand ourselves better.

changes only happen when we go totally against everything were used to doing.

u cant measure love the way u can the length of a road or the height of a building.

i have learned to suffer in silence.

i had chosen in the belief that love conquers all...and it isnt true.

people learn 25% from their teacher
25% from listening to themselves
25% from their friends
and 25% from time.

some lessons are best learned thru pain, sometimes our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears. sometimes we have to be broken so we can be whole again. if God meant the day to be perfect, He would not hve invented tomorrow. so dont worry if today wasnt perfect because you still have tomorrow. and if theres anything in your heart that feels right, go after it no matter what it takes.

i guess that love does fade.
that sometimes the heart does get tired of longing, of hoping. that sometimes you just have to accept the fact that some things can never be and that you should be contented with things as they are.

leaving is a choice. staying is a choice. but you can never really ask someone to stay or leave.

its a choice they have to make for themselves and sometimes no matter how much you beg someone to stay or how hard you try to make someone leave, you really have no control over what they will choose.

if the two eventually fell in love, despite the disparity of their ages and academic levels, this only lends substance to the truism that the heart has reasons for its own which reason does not know.

Chua-Qua vs. Clave, 189 Supreme Court Reports Annotated 117

if its taking all your strength. if its killing your heart. if its making you bear too much pain. and its making you ignore everything else. make sure its worth it. otherwise...

LET IT GO.

theres no point in sacrificing your happiness when it doesnt conform to what your heart dictates. as everyone is created uniquely, everyone does get a right to choose where they'd be happy. if it ensures lifetime happiness, then go for it. you wouldnt want a miserable life faking the world with smiles.

its so much easier to say that you dont love someone, than try to explain to everyone all the reasons why you still do.

always remember that...

if a person loved you once, after a hundred years, there will be some of that love no matter how much he denies it.

if your heart gets broken, dont be bitter. dont turn your back on love. just keep on trying. because theres no better remedy for love... but to love again. :(

for years i kept a sign on my desk that helped me maintain the right perspective concerning yesterday. it simply said... "yesterday ended last night."

nothing dries sooner than tears. life can never promise to be always happy, but life gets better after you accept things you cant change.

its funny thinking that yesterday, u find youself deeply inlove with that person and a hilarious thinking that today, you find yourself denyin what just happened.

"be thankful for what you have, you'll end up having more. if you concentrate on what you dont have, you will never, ever have enough."

Oprah Winfrey

sometimes you cant stop yourself from hoping for yesterday to come back..
especially when yesterday was the only future you ever wanted and needed from the start.

just now i have learned..that i have to be thankful that i dont get everything that i desire. because if i did, there would be nothing to look forward to. i have learned to be thankful when i dont know something. for it is the one that gives me the opportunity to learn. i have to be thankful for the difficult times, because during those times i learn. and i have to be thankful for my limitations, coz they give me opportunities to grow.

one great form of wealth is kindness. it cant be diminished no matter how much you give. it increases the more it is shared.

2Pet3:17-18

be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord.

faith is like swimming. if you struggle, you'll sink. if you rest, you'll float. when you pray, dont beg or struggle... simply trust. thats how faith works.

"one thing worse than a quitter is the person who is afraid to begin." ...doing your best is more important than being the best.

There are two types of people:
those who come into a roo and say, "well, here i am."
and those who come in and say, "ah, there you are.."
makes sense.

the partner

there comes a time that we fill we found the perfect partner for us but often times the situation isnt easy. the hardest part isnt letting go of the feeling but trying to live without that certain piece that could have completed us... that no matter how many relationships we'll be into, no one can ever replace that special person we'll forever dream of.

the heart beats when the soul finds its equal yet most of the time it beats in the wrong time... so you wait, because true love is worth every tear and pain...

the heart.

time will come, you'll be doing things you were not supposed to do. You'll be trying so hard to love other souls just to forget the soul that you truly love yet it hurts you so. You can be happy but deep inside, your heart has the cuts of every memory you've been endlessly preserving. And at the end you'll just realize that all those times you've been fooling yourself coz no matter how much you try to let go and forget, your soul will only be loving that single soul that you tried to dream of having back and spending your life forever with...

A child asked his father: "why do i need to be humble?"

then the father said: "when you choose the lowly path, there is no place to fall and the only way is up."

ang kaibigan, hindi tulad ng pera, na pinagpapalit sa materyal na bagay.. hindi rin lagi may sukli.. pero alam mo ba ang pagkakatulad nila? simple lang.. kapag 'fake'.. walang halaga.

"The fastest way to make people laugh is to tickle and make face... but the most noble way to make them happy is ... be ready to be sad, just for them to be happy.."

i'm not like the rain that just pours on you and then goes. im more like the air, sometimes keeping quiet but is always there..constantly hanging around.

Lab nga naman.

anticipating a relationship to bind you and the person you love is one of the greatest risks of making your heart suffer. How? imagine this, you love the person and he loves you too. he keeps saying you're special but he doesnt wanna do anything about it. you both feel so in-love everytime your together but you know you dont have the right to hold him as if he's yours. Conslusion? Playing so safe could lead to frustration and confusion.

the worst regret we can have in life is not for the wrong things we did, but for the right things we could have done, but we never did.

We are not supposed to always understand why certain things happen. we dont have to always know the reasons why God allows some things to take place. all that is asked from us is to trust Him completely and let Him be in control. God will never fail us. not now. not ever.

God will meet us where we are. He can be very tender to you if you need an embrace. He can be firm to you if you need some spanking. He can be terribly awesome when you need a miracle. He can be painfully quiet when He wants you to trust Him. He will be what you need Him to be. What do you really need right now? believe me, He knows about it more than you do. so let Him meet you where you are and let Him love you, right there.

God-ly messages.

The Lord didnt promise us a life where we would never fail but, He assures us of a life where we can rise everytime we fall.

seek the Lord so that you will see every rock in your path. not as stumbling block but as stepping stone to where God wants you to go.

God understands that we are not strong all the time. sometimes all we can do is rest on His arms as He takes us thru the journey of life. with Him we are safe.

One.

Don’t let your mind become cluttered with worry, it leaves less room for the good stuff. Pray. Relax. Let go. Let God take over.

Keep you optimism. After all, no one has ever damaged his eyesight by looking at the Brighter side of Life.

God knows what’s best for us, so why should we complain. We always want the sunshine but He knows there must be rain. We love the sound of laughter and the merriment of cheer. But our hearts will lose their tenderness if we never shed a tear. God tests us not to punish us but to help us meet tomorrow. So whenever we are in trouble and everything goes wrong, it’s just God working on us to make our spirit strong.

You are part of the puzzle of someone else’s life. You may never know where you fit but others will fill the holes in their lives with pieces of you. So if you run out of reasons to live, remember that someone else’s life may never be complete without you in it.
