Love is a beautiful dream

Well guys we’ve all heard people saying that it’s a case of love at first sight. But to me this term itself is very confusing and it makes me wonder whether something of that sort can really happen to anybody that the moment you see a person, you fall in love. And if something like this is true then is it really love? In my eyes it can be a mere attraction seeing someone’s physical appearance. And if not then should we conclude that love is all about physical attraction.

Love in the first sight is a cumbersome phrase which is difficult to understand but yes one thing that I’m sure about is that there is something about the other person that you cant stop yourself from glancing at him/her or to put in other words there is something so eye catchy and appealing that you cant take your eyes off that person. And if that person is not around, your eyes are looking for him. Now what is appealing depends from person to person. You might get attracted to one’s beautiful enchanting eyes or the cute smile. You never know what is it in a person that might steal your heart. Well, love is a term, which is much more than just physical attraction. It’s about compatibility, understanding, trust and respect. At the end of the day, I would like to emphasize that ‘love is a beautiful dream’ so keep yourself open to receiving love then be it the case of love at first sight.

Why is it so hard for us to let go when we know we should?

Why is it so hard for us to let go when we know we should? Why do we hang on to bad relationships, bad friendships, bad jobs, bad situations? Are we so afraid of change that we choose to stay where we are, knowing there could be something better out there? Are regrets a higher cost to pay than always wondering what could have been?

Thanks For Your Love

Loving you is the greatest thing in my life and I’m really thankful for that. Do you know that I’ve fallen deeply for you? “We’ll be together forever,” that’s what you always say, and it really melts my heart. I’ve tried many times to let go of this relationship, but every time when I think of it, I could feel thousands and thousands of needles pricking my heart; it hurts, it really hurts. It’s not because we don’t love each other, it’s just that I’m too late.
For the past days, we laughed, we cried, we’ve been through lots of stuff, the more arguments we had, the closer we got. It has gotten to the extent whereby I cannot live without you by my side; I cannot imagine life without you, it’s horrible. I’m not sure what will happen but one thing I’m sure of is that the smile that I used to have will no longer be there.
“Life won’t be easy without you by my side, all the times you make things right. And I would forgot everything for you, would you too or would you even cry for me? And I, I’m still loving you, no matter where it takes me to … for as long as I can be by your side. And I, I’m still missing you, I will give my all to you, ’cause I know you’re true …”
I’m not the best boyfriend in the world, but I’m just a boyfriend who loves you very much. Hope you can really understand how I feel for you. As long as the river touches the sand, my love for you will never end.

Pains Me To Know

Every morning I wake up and there is a pain that shoots through my heart. The thought that I have to spend another day without you rips my soul apart. It pains me to know that the love I have for you burns within and fueled by undying passion. I know that we thought it was better for us both that we ended it now, but the time I have spent away from you has taught me that I am a part of you and you are a part of me, and that there is no other place for either of us to be but with each other. It pains me know that you wake up with another beside you. It pains me to know that I could have let the best that that ever happen to me leave without a fight, and you know what hurts the most is the thought that you might not feel the same. The hardest part is not falling in love, but allowing yourself to fall out. I can’t see my future any other way, but with you in it. It scares me to think that you can envision yours without me. It pains me to know that all good things have to come to an end, but I hope that ours can end in eternity.

Is It Really Goodbye

Thank you for coming into my life. When the day I wanted to end my life because he left me, you came to tell me that life must go on. You were sent to be my angel. Thank you for everything, for all your sacrifices.

I miss those times when you call me “Mahal.” When I was exhausted at the end of the day and I called, you were always there to listen to me, to keep me fighting. You have been my inspiration, you helped me achieve my dreams. But now, they all fell apart.

I know I’m not the kind of woman you’ve dreamed of, but still you loved me for what I am. I remember you once told me, “I don’t care if you don’t love me too”. If you only knew, Baby, you were my life, my everything. If you only knew how happy I was to have you and how my life fell apart when I lost you.

I know that I’ve hurt you so many times and that I shouldn’t be bothering your life now. I know that I said, “Let me go,” but still here I am asking for another chance, if you could still be mine. Things really changed when you left. My life started to lose direction. I must admit, I still can’t move on.

I kept in blaming myself, it was my entire fault. I’ve been too selfish, too hard on you. Now I’m starting to realize that you were too good for me. You are a very good man and you deserve someone better than I am. I tried to change for you, but my efforts were not enough. I hope somehow, I made your life special, though I’ve not been perfect for you. I hope you’ll be happy now and that you can find the person whom you truly deserve.

If you really decide to let go, then I can do nothing. I know sorry is not enough for the things I have done but I hope my sincerity is enough. I regretted those foolish things that I’ve done. Because of those things, I lost you, I lost my life. And I’ll never love again because of that.

But if you can give me another chance, I swear this time I’ll make sure I won’t hurt you and never, ever let you go.

Even if it will take me a lifetime, I will wait for you until you come back. I would not want another love than you. I’d rather be alone than to be with someone who can’t take your place.

We’ve done our best to make our relationship last longer, but things happen and we had to say goodbye. This goodbye would not mean forgetting our memories, they are too special to forget. It does not mean forgetting the things in our past that made us both better individuals. We had to say goodbye but I want you to remember this … you will always have a special place in my heart. I consider myself lucky to experience a love as wonderful as yours. For the last time, I love you, Mahal.

Do We Have A Chance

This is the final letter I’ll ever send you; I never knew love till I met you. You came into my life through a dating site on the net, and I’ll never forget that night when we met. I wouldn’t change how we met for the world; we shared our hopes and dreams for the future. I just pray when you have read this letter it touches your heart and restarts what we had before. I love you and want to be with you; I want so much for us to have the best life together, I just wish I was part of it.

If only you knew how your absence has affected me, you would have never tossed me aside like you have. To have given me so much in the beginning, made so many promises – you would’ve never let me down. To cut me out of your life in such a manner is not only cruel but you have decided my fate by coming into my life giving me something wonderful and letting me believe in us, only to destroy it and take it away. You are always telling me you hate letting me down but if you did, why do you constantly keep letting it happen again and again?

We rarely see each other to spend any sort of time together. What has gone wrong? Do you want me to be your future? Will you give this relationship the attention it so desperately deserves? How can a relationship survive if there is only one person doing the work of two? I only ever feel close to you when we make love, even that side of the relationship is suffering. I’m not sure I can go on anymore the way things have been; I will let you go if I have to, move on and hope one day to meet someone who will show me love and attention the way I deserve to be shown, I just want you to have one more try. God, how I love you.

Forever

Some days you feel so distant, and that’s when I feel the most confused; I feel as though we aren’t even together. Though you’ve talked about forever and you say you love me, what do those words really mean to you? To me there is no definition, no meaning that has value of words, and I think are you being true. Can I really rely on you? Though you’ve hurt me many times before, I’ve always found it in my heart to forgive. Forgive the pain and see through the tears. So, I wonder what is the true meaning of our love, or is there really a meaning; and I can’t help but to ask myself the same questions time and time again. So where does the line between love and hate fall in this relationship? Where’s the space between good and the bad, the truth and the lies? Sometimes I just want to give up on us. But how can I do this; give up on you, when you still have my heart in chains, when you still have your arms around me, around my soul. I plead to go, but still I love you. Sometimes I think I will always love you, and that makes me cry.

You R D Reason

It’s really cute when a boy: Smiles at you, says hi, face turns red, look at you all the time then when you look back he looks away, laughs, can’t pronounce his words right, ask his friend to say hi for him, waits for you in the gate, waits for you in the classroom, waits for you in the corridor, waits for you in the canteen, waits for you outside ,waits for you anywhere, sweaty, nervous, can’t breathe when your near, only sees you NO OTHER GIRL, teases you, makes nicknames for you, holds your hand unexpectedly, acts weird, say he has a crush on you and then says JOKE afterwards but you know it wasn’t really just a JOKE. But it really feels good that you are the REASON why he acts this way.

Isang malupit na grad speech

This speech was delivered by a La Sallian engineer in one of the graduation ceremonies at the UP College of Engineering.

Ngayong araw na ito, sa ating pagtatapos, mayroon akong dalang Transcript of Record. Ang estudyanteng may-ari ng transcript na ito ay nag-aral sa De La Salle University. Sa unibersidad na ito, kapag ikaw ay isang undergraduate, may ID number ka na nagsisimula sa “94” at pataas, kung lumipas ang isang buong school year at umabot ka sa 15 units na bagsak, masisipa ka sa paaralan.

Ang transcript na hawak ko ay mayroong 27 units ng bagsak. 12 sa mga ito ay tinamo ng estudyante sa iisang schoolyear lang. Ang isang subject ay kadalasang may bigat na 3 units. Kung iisiping mabuti, isang subject na bagsak na lang ay pwede na masipa ang estudyanteng may-ari ng transcript na ito.

Ang speech na ito ay hindi ko ginawa para i-acknowledge ang paghihirap ng ating mga magulang sa pagpapaaral satin. Hindi ko din ito ginawa para maghayag ng political statement, o kumbinsihin kayo na huwag umalis sa bansa at tulungan itong makaahon. Ang speech na ito ay para sa mga normal na estudyante na kagaya ng may may-ari ng transcript na hawak ko, dahil madalas, wala talagang pakialam ang unibersidad sa mga achievements nila. May mga awards na gaya ng “Summa Cum Laude”, “Best Thesis Award” at “Leadership Award.” Pero ni minsan, hindi pa ako nakakakita ng unibersidad na nagbigay ng “Hang-on and managed to graduate despite nearly getting kicked-out during his academic stay” award.

Maaaring isang malaking kagaguhan ang konseptong ito para sa karamihan. Bakit mo pararangalan ang isang estudyanteng bulakbol, bobo, tamad o iresponsable? Hindi ba dapat isuka ito ng unibersidad? Ito yung mga tipo ng estudyanteng walang ia-asenso sa buhay, hindi ba?

Ayun. Natumbok niyo.Iyun na nga ang dahilan.

Madalas, pag ang isang estudyante ay may pangit na marka sa paaralan, lalong lalo na sa kolehiyo, nakakapanghina ito ng loob. Nandiyan yung tatamarin ka mag-aral, nandyan yung iisipin mo “Ano pa kayang trabaho ang makukuha ko? Call center na naman o clerical? Ba’t kasi ang bobo ko. Kung matalino lang ako, sana, sa Proctor and Gamble ako, o kung saang sikat na kumpanya.”

Mas mahirap ang dinadaanan ng mga estudyanteng bumabagsak. Kahit na sabihin mong kasalanan nilang bumabagsak sila, hindi ninyo alam kung ano ang pakiramdam ng ganun. Madaling sabihin na “Kaya mo yan, mag-aral ka lang,” pero alam ba natin talaga ang sinasabi natin?

Kapag ang isang estudyante ay bumabagsak sa unibersidad, nandiyan yung tatawanan niya lang yan. O di kaya naman, ipagmamalaki niya pang “TAKE 5 NA KO!!!” o “Pare, magpi-PhD na ako sa Anmath3/Calculus/etc.” Pero hindi alam ng mga isang Summa Cum Laude kung ano ang nasa isip ng isang normal na estudyante sa tuwing matutulog ito at alam niyang pag-gising niya, kailangan niya na namang ulitin ang isang subject na nakuha niya na sa susunod na term.

Kahit kalian, hindi naging problema sa “Star Student” na sabihing “Nay, bagsak ako.” at hindi kailanman sumagi sa isip nila na “Paano kaya kung sa walang-pangalang kumpanya lang ako makapagtrabaho?” Dahil sigurado sila sa kinabukasan nila.

Huwag na tayong maglokohan. Grades are everything. Kahit bali-baligtarin mo iyan, hindi magiging patas ang mga kumpanyang kumukuha ng fresh graduates para magtrabaho sa kanila. Minsan din naman, nadadaan sa palakasan, pero ganun pa din. Kung hindi ka academically good, wala kang patutunguhan. Kung hindi man yun, mas mahirap yung dadaanan mo para lang makaabot sa prestihiyosong posisyon.

Kaya ngayong graduation, ang speech na ito ay inaaalay ko para sa mga estudyanteng lumagpak, muntik-muntikan nang masipa o yung sa lahat ng paraang pwede, ginawa na para lang makatapos. Gagawin kong patas ang mundo para sa inyo kahit isang araw lang. Kahit ano pa ang sabihin ng ibang tao, kesyo kasalanan mo man na pangit ang marka mo o muntik ka nang makick-out, saludo ako sa hindi mo pagtigil sa pag-aaral. Saludo ako na may lakas ka ng loob na harapin pa rin ang mundo kahit alam mong hindi ito magiging patas sa iyo. Saludo ako na kahit pangit ang transcript mo, taas noo ka pa rin ngayong graduation at proud na proud sa sarili mo.

Ano ngayon ang mangyayari sa mga graduates pagkatapos nitong graduation? Ayoko nang puntahan yung pwedeng mangyayari sa mga Cum Laude. Baduy. Alam mo namang may patutunguhan ang buhay nila e. Pero dun sa mga lumagpak, ano ang meron?

Maaring makakuha kayo ng mediocre na trabaho lang. Pwede ka rin swertehin, baka makapagtrabaho ka sa magandang kumpanya. Madami pang pwedeng mangyari. Huwag kayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Kung nung college, nagtiyaga kayo e ba’t titigilan niyo yung pagti-tiyaga ngayon?

Pwede ring ganito: Mag-aral ka ulit. Ipakita mo sa kanila na kung sisipagin ka lang, malayo ang mararating mo. Subukan mong patunayan sa kanila na kapag pinilit mo, kaya mo ring abutin yung naabot nila. Na hindi ka bobo, kundi tinamad ka lang.

Baka sabihin ninyo, drowing lang ako.

I’ve been on both sides. Naranasan ko na ring lumagpak, at muntikan na din akong masipa. Naranasan ko na ang umulit ng 4 na beses sa iisang subject. Naranasan ko na ang masumbatan ng magulang, kapatid at kung sino-sino pang propesor na walang pakialam sa pakiramdam ng estuyante. Naranasan ko nang hindi makatulog ng maraming gabi sa pagiisip kung paano ko na naman sasabihin sa magulang ko na may bagsak na naman ako. Kaya alam ko ang pakiramdam ninyo.

Akin ang transcript na ito.

Pagkagraduate ko ng college, ano ang ginawa ko? Eto. Nagtrabaho muna ng konti, tapos aral ulit. Kuha ng Masteral sa kurso ko. Hindi para sa trabaho o kung ano man. Kundi para patunayan sa sarili ko na noong mga panahong bumabagsak ako, tinatamad lang ako.

This is a rebellion. I raise my middle finger to every professor, over-achiever, naysayer and detractor THAT TOLD ME THAT I CAN’T MAKE IT. I raise my middle finger to every valedictory or graduation speech that only gratifies the university, those who were achievers in school or those who gratify the country when it’s supposed to be the graduate’s moment of glory. You are supposed to acknowledge EVERYONE. Even those who failed many times.

Kaya sa inyong mga graduates na medyo hindi maganda ang marka, para sa inyo ito. Kung kinaya ko ito, kaya niyo rin to. Imposibleng hindi.

Note:

Whoever you are, good sir/mam, I salute you!

To all, im not the one who actually wrote and delivered

this (master)piece. this is just a repost i found over the net.

i hope that this helps keep everyone motivated and inspired! :)

Why I Chose You

From time to time you ask me why I chose you … what is so special about you? Well, the reason is simple; I chose you because you are YOU!!! I have never had anyone treat me the way you do. I have never had anyone just look at me and make me feel beautiful. You do that to me! You make me feel special and wanted. As liberal as I can be, I would never do anything to hurt you. You mean more to me than you realize. I am hoping that one day I can prove all of this to you! I want you, I need you and I love you!
