THE MANY FACETS OF ME
 


“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be”



“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.”



“Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.”



“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with”

The Excess Luggage Mar 12, 2010 1:10 am
1 view


...Sometimes, divorced, annulled, separated, widowed, and single parents have a hard time finding or deciding to stay seriously in a relationship because of their fear of failure due to the presence of their kids (from either side)...Why is that?

...Well, it's NOT all about extra mouths to feed, but more of that strong negative thought that " If things didn't work with the original family, how much more with a combination of both new couple along with their kids? "...

...You see, to some "second timers" (or multiple for that matter), getting seriously involved in a new loving relationship is likened to another major "travel" where the journey entails having to tag along the "excess luggages" which is a MUST...

...At some point, I admit that I've been in that fearful situation which held me back for so many years, considering that my only child's welfare was my priority. Too many romantic opportunities were lost (or not meant to be, as a good excuse) because of that negative thought. I always saw myself very capable of loving children who aren't mine, but was skeptical that my own child will have a fair treatment...and I humbly accept that I COULD BE WRONG...

...You know what the problem is? CHILDREN from failed relationships are NOT "Excess Luggages", but are Extra GIFTS to be loved, nurtured, and treasured as our own...

...Needless to say, this time, I am ready to accept my gifts...

What Is Love? Mar 10, 2010 4:18 am
239 Views


What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?

What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?

What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?

What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?

And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?

So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.

The Soon To Be Emirates FA Mar 8, 2010 4:31 am

...He is my one and only child. He is my life, the reason why I worked so hard to be where we are right now, the source of my strength when everything seemed to be so low in my past. He will always be my BABY, even though he is already a young man. He has his own dreams and I promised him that I will be with him and support him every step of the way. He is a new but successful US Registered Nurse, but he wants to see the world. It was his dream to be an RN/Flight Attendant at the same time. Last month, that dream came true. He was hired by Emirates Airlines based in Dubai, and will soon fly there next month for extensive training...I am so happy and proud of him, although, there is also this FEELing of sadness, knowing that he will be away from me for the most part..But life is such that we always LET GO of some people who are dearest to us, specially, knowing that doing so, is the BEST for them...

" FOLLOW YOUR DREAM "

Follow your dream
Wherever it leads-
Don't be distracted
By less worthy needs...
Shelter it, nourish it,
Help it to grow-
Let your heart hold it
Down deep where dreams go.

Follow your dream
Pursue it with haste;
Life is too precious,
Too fleeting to waste...
Be faithful, be loyal,
Then all your life through
The DREAM that you follow
Will keep coming TRUE ..

The Right Love, at the Wrong Time..... Mar 6, 2010 10:40 am

...Tama nga ba ang aking hukom damdamin ay supilin?
Yaman di lamang, ikaw ay di ko makakapiling
Naghuhumiyaw na damdamin, kaya kong pigilin
Dahil kirot lamang, ang kaya nitong ipatikim.

Sana'y bahagi kita ng aking kahapon
Maaaring bukas, pero hindi sa ngayon
Sa dahilang mali ang magiging layon
Kapag ipinilit, damdaming hindi sang-ayon.

Mahal mo ako, at mahal na rin kita
Kahit buong mundo'y hadlang sa ating dalawa
Sa aking panaginip, lagi kitang nakikita
Salat sa katotohanan, alam mo yan di ba?

Subalit iyong ipagpaumanhin, di kita maaaring angkinin
Labag sa aking diwa, damdamin ko'y dapat sikilin
Sana, sa darating na bukas,kaya ko nang hilingin
Mailap na pagmamahal, pwede ko nang abutin.

Patuloy na nalalagas, dahon ng kahapon
Puno ng pag-asang, sana ako'y makaahon
Tamis ng alaala, sayo lagi kong ipapa-baon
Ang ating tamang pag-ibig, sa maling panahon...

Kamasutrachic, Joolz's handle was deleted/hacked! Mar 2, 2010 5:43 am
468 Views
This has gotten way out of hand now...I was writing a blog this morning re: Reminiscing Eye Balls from past year, when all of a sudden as I typed the handle Kamasutrachic to feature Joolz photo, it led me to a highlighted handle of hers, which I clicked, and presto! I read that apparently, she removed/deleted her profile due to possible match success or whatever!....I did not buy that idea because I still saw her comment to madaboutcake's blog yesterday...So, I called her up in Chicago right away, and Voila!...She said," NO! I didn't delete my handle!...I have tons of poems and original works that I value so much.."..And so, she checked if it was true, and called me back that indeed, she could not access her FFF account and handle anymore...I advised her to call FFF, and hopefully, just like those other members (kissey75, Sulei, and many more), Joolz will recover her account and handle...I encourage you guys and gals to call or write FFF regarding this matter...Thank You!

Eye Ball (EB)...Something to reminisce.... Mar 2, 2010 4:06 am
289 Views
..It's been 10 months ago when the original members of FEEL Et Al decided to EYE BALL ( EB ) in Las Vegas, and I can only look back and review the pictures taken during that time. I smiled at first and then there's this feeling of sadness, knowing that most of us, are no longer staying in touch...But I guess, that is life...People come and go, and even though the friendship and bonding may have not lasted for long, but people do make a difference in our lives. Some leave permanent footprints and things are never the same again...Thanks for the Eye Ball, and Thanks for the friendship..

...I don't wanna raise your eyebrows without making any sense, and I know that MEN and WOMEN out there have a lot of things to share about their experiences. And although, we don't intend to put people on the spot, for the sake of discussion, I'd like to encourage WOMEN and MEN out there to speak up and join this interesting discussion...The topic includes how Pinoys/Foreigners fare in terms of courtship, loyalty, dedication, commitment, household partnership and everything there is...You guys can post here what you've got to OFFER to US, women...While those women with good or bad experiences can make good comparisons. I'm sure, there are a lot of interesting stories we can brainstorm with..Bring them on!...Who knows, we may learn from each other...So, guys and gals...PLease take notes..

Even the Conservative Can Be SEXY Feb 24, 2010 2:33 pm

...It's still cold here in the most part of the USA, but I know, people in the Philippines are ready to hit the beaches anytime soon. Oh well!...I remember each time I go home to Camiguin Island and spend my vacation there, I have no inhibitions wearing either a one-piece swimsuit or a two-piece bikini..People down there are so used to seeing Tourists from all over the world sporting swimwears, regardless of their sizes, colors, and shapes ...It's just a normal thing to do

...I am the type of a woman who's conservative in most aspects of my life, but when it comes to clothings and fashion, I'm IN!... The only problem I have, is that I am camera shy. I normally don't like others taking my pictures, specially the SEXY ones. I feel so conscious.....So, what I did here, is that I placed my camera on top of the t.v. counter, and set it for auto, and presto!...Hahahaha! ...But still, you can tell that even in my solitude, I feel SHY...

...But let me tell you something..Just because I am baring some skin here doesn't mean that I am, you know ...Most of the time, the ones who are fully clothed and simple looking are the quicker ones to surrender! Ay!ay!ay!

...Now, are you ready for the chase?

... Because today's so special
it really wouldn't do,
to send one simple birthday wish
to last the whole year through...
So this wishes happy moments,
a day when dreams come true,
and a year that's filled with all the things
that mean the most to you.



Here’s a Birthday greeting
Especially to show
How much you mean
Although you surely must know
That without a doubt
There’s no-one nicer than you
Or anyone dearer
To wish Happy Birthday to



These Birthday greetings are wished
Most affectionately your way
For someone who’s very nice
Deserves an extra special day,
So here’s wishing every happiness
Today, especially for you,
With lots of your favourite things
In the year ahead too!

Happy Birthday!

The Purple Love Letter..... Feb 20, 2010 6:19 pm

Dear Loves (You and Him),

I know both of you are away at the time of this writing. I guess, this is the right time for me to focus on what I have to say to you. As usual, the beginnings are always hard, but I hope I'll get through this and get my message across...Wheewww! It's been quite a while since we all starred in a stage play where the characters are limited, and the story evolved in just a few...And the drama wouldn't have attracted the audience if it wasn't for LOVE which came in different tones and shapes..It was unbelievably two sets of triangles, I remember. Unfortunately, I was dragged into that stage play. I was supposed to be the major star but eventually thought of as a "villain", only because I wasn't the first choice to play the lead role. I wish I knew what I was getting into...I wish I reviewed the script before I accepted the role...But it was too late, and all I had to do was go on with the show..Yes, You, Him, and Her...(however you look at it). I thought I've always wanted to be a Loner, but what a mess I've gotten my simple self into...Can I blame the woman scorned? NO!...She has all the rights to fight back for what she thinks she owned...at ALL cost!..In the meantime, He was there for me, and I mean he "was"...Until You came into the picture, until you shouted to the whole world that you love me, but I couldn't accept it wholeheartedly...Only GOD knows if you meant it. That kind of love has nothing much to offer, but pain..However, you had to play your role as I did mine. Now, what? He wanted to pursue her, but then again, you came back wanting to make sure, you still have that spot in her heart. I think that is selfish, for both You and I know that you have nothing to offer her nor anyone at this point...Need I say more?

What about Him? Oh, hell, yeah, Him! I somehow feel that I lost someone who's been there with me and for me all along. It may not be the kind of relationship that everyone would think and dream of, but before you came into my life, everything was in excellent shape. Have you heard of a Love Story that did not end the way it was scripted? Maybe, this is one of them...


Ahhh! it feels good to finally vent this ill feelings that're bottling up inside me. I've wanted to end the drama for a while now. But you are so good with your adlibs, and WE, the casts of the show, just had to ride with you. But now, I can see the finale`, as the curtains are about to close...I am back to my old SELF again...Thank You For Everything!...But most of all, Thank You for Nothing...

Yours for once,

Scarlet
