I LIKE YOU... Nov 3, 2009 4:37 pm 170 Views there are reasons for anyone not to like u.. u wanted to be obnoxious and boastful and oh so full of urself, that's ur choice.. u wanted to be conceited and arrogant, that's still ur choice.. u wanted people not to like u, that's MY CHOICE.. after all, i'm not just "anyone".. i am not the type of person who could be easily swayed by the opinion of others.. they have their own impressions of "what" u are as a blogger, but they do not have an idea of WHO u are as a PERSON.. there's a fine line between being an "arrogant, boastful, conceited, obnoxious and egoistic a-hole" blogger, and a real person.. it's up to them to discover what lies beneath that cold and calculating exterior.. i have discovered for myself the person behind that facade.. and honestly? i happen to LIKE what i just found out abt YOU.. u are a HUMAN BEING, after all... 12 Comments

STILL... Nov 3, 2009 4:27 pm 127 Views so this is the kind of person u want people to think of u.. this is the kind of guy u want them to see.. this is the kind of personality u want to project.. after all that's been said and done, what comes next? a plea for understanding? a voice of hostility? a note of indifference? a warped sense of humor? is this all there is to it, my friend? or is there something more? either way, i just hope that u will emerge from this travesty UNSCATHED.. i just don't want to see u get hurt.. after all, inspite of these nuances, u are still.. my FRIEND... 1 comment

ONE MORE TRY... Nov 2, 2009 12:53 am 146 Views Should we stay, or should we say goodbye, Walk away or give it one more try.. What a waste, to let our dreams just fly And as the days go by We'll always wonder why.. Are we glad to find one day we're free, Is this what we really want to be.. Brand new lives we need to have so much, It really is quite tough When love is not enough.. Tell me why did we find each other, Only to part ways in the end.. Tell me how we learned to love each other, And tell me why two people have to change.. Was it pride that made made us drift away.. Hurting words we should not even say.. Hold my hand and look straight in my eyes.. If we can't say goodbye, Then we're worth ONE MORE TRY... **Kuh Ledesma** 2 Comments

IN SEARCH OF PERMANENCE... Oct 25, 2009 5:04 am 213 Views "It is such a powerful statement of your dreams when you look for permanence in this fickle world of unending change. Who we are will always be permanent. There is so much hope in that truth.." --- This was quoted from an email sent to me by my friend Alex, when he read my profile.. We search for the truth because we are not contented with the constant whirl of changes in our lives.. We are always on the lookout for something that would invariably CHANGE our lives for the better.. Circumstances in our lives are underrated.. Things are always bound to change, no matter how hard we try to make it permanent.. People and events will always be caught up in a vortex of CONSTANT changes which are necessary for humanity to evolve.. Perhaps, there is a grain of truth in what my friend Alex said.. But when we look for "permanence" in this world, it is with a conscious effort to find that which is UNATTAINABLE.. In this fickle world, WHO we are will always be PERMANENT.. What we do in this lifetime will always have a BEARING on how well we LIVED our lives.. But i would like to believe that our lives and our hearts will always be resilient.. There is so much HOPE in that truth... 1 comment

DON'T KNOCK IT TIL YOU'VE TRIED IT... Oct 23, 2009 5:28 pm 284 Views hey my fwen.. life is full of choices.. it all depends on WHAT CHOICE u would decide to make.. which direction ur choice would take u.. but it is basically the SAME thing.. YOU STILL HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE.. and in this life, i found out that there are certain rules we have to break, certain rules we have to bend, in order for us to discover what lies beyond our peripheral vision.. sometimes we tell ourselves that this is HOW IT SHOULD BE.. but in retrospect, we discover that things will always fall in its right perspectives, that we should sometimes go with the flow, the natural process of life, for us to reach that elusive DREAM.. friends come and go.. love will always find its way to our hearts.. heartbreaks and frustrations and emotional agony will always be part and parcel of our lives.. so i say unto u.. DON'T KNOCK IT TIL YOU'VE TRIED IT.. who knows what tomorrow may bring? perhaps when u least expect it, the SPECIAL PERSON of ur dreams will come knocking.. or calling.. or... WHATEVER... 6 Comments

ANIMO BENILDE ... my daughter TIMMY... Oct 19, 2009 9:55 pm 350 Views Dahil ga-graduate nako sa Saturday Friday, October 16, 2009 at 2:35am "Ateneo is where all the nerds go; La Salle is where all the Chinese go; College of Saint Benilde is where all the stupid Chinese go".. -- Quoted from an Atenean.. Four years and five months ago, I received news confirming my acceptance in the College of St. Benilde. I had been pretty skeptic. I knew I was going to be the butt of jokes everywhere I went.. after all it's what the school seemed to be 'famous' for.. Desperation to find a different school began to sink its way under my skin, but because gas prices have sky-rocketed faster than space shuttles at launch, I decided to just give it a try-- hoping against all hope this was going to be the lowest point of my FREE-FALL after failing the De La Salle entrance test.. "C-S-B... College of Skul Bukol" "CSB? 'Yung tambakan ng mga bagsak?" Weird as it may sound, I'm actually PROUD to be known by these insolent and derogatory "titles"... because I know who St. Benilde is.. St. Benilde had been looked down upon and was almost refused to enter the Novitiate because he was short. He probably suffered as much having been short as I did having attended this school.. HIS SCHOOL.. But much as he had suffered, he didn't let this put him down and stop him from fulfilling his duty to God and the less-fortunate. His passion was in teaching children, thus spending 40 years of his life within the confines of the classroom. He is best known for his sanctity and having exhibited outstanding compassion towards students from all walks of life, even willfully learning sign language so he could teach catechism to a deaf-mute boy for him to be allowed to receive Holy Communion.. Yes, St. Benilde was "small", yet he was terribly PASSIONATE to render service and carry on that higher purpose. He had a terribly BIG HEART to welcome anyone WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION.. All these years, we've been looked down upon by certain people who wish to have their "superiority" lord over us, just as the sky does the land and the seas. I'm happy to know that College of St. Benilde opens its doors to students who have been labelled and rejected by a class in society, who think so "highly" of themselves and neglect those belonging to the lower bracket, even dismissing them with such remarks.. It goes to show Benildeans are not "arrogant" so as to put themselves on a pedestal. We show compassion to those ignored and made fun of, because we share the same experiences from our Patron to our roots.. St. Benilde knew better to APPRECIATE, and continued to educate students with differing abilities and limitations, and I am called to share in that same SPIRIT of COMPASSION.. I may not belong to the top 20% of academic achievers, but I have my own avenues of competency. I have talent, enhanced by skill, and greater of these, I HAVE A HEART.. I have the "heart" to reach out to those left far behind. I have the "heart" to welcome anyone and everyone, shedding every bit of "bias and bigotry". I have the "heart" to fall and not get hurt. I have the "heart" to fail and to bounce back higher after every stumble.. Let the world say I am "SMALL".. Let the world "size me down" for the "pipsqueak" it assumes me to be. Terribly passionate as St. Benilde was, I am to pave MY OWN MARK in the world-- MARKS that would make me distinctly BENILDEAN, by VIRTUE and PROFICIENCY.. Four years and five months ago, I took a "giant leap" and enrolled in the De La Salle-College of St. Benilde. Four years and five months later, I'm glad to be GRADUATING from this INSTITUTION, and I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY... ANIMO BENILDE !!! ***this is an excerpt from my daughter's journal, her personal insights about her experiences in her school, COLLEGE OF ST. BENILDE..*** 3 Comments

LIFE'S CHOICES AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES ... Oct 13, 2009 3:43 am 400 Views be situational? u wanted SPACE.. no specifics.. just downplaying the feelings without the usual heavy drama.. a MUTUAL thing? do what u want within the limits of SANITY?within the limits of DECENCY? i wish u would figure it out for urself.. maybe in tym, u will.. but there's a very fine line between REALIZATION and REGRET.. unless u prefer to be with other people than be with me.. i refuse to think of bad things against someone, let alone YOU.. if u prefer to be with other people, it's ur choice.. if we don't see each other anytime soon, then perhaps it's a sign that we're not really meant to be together.. so all i can do is wait.. wait.. and wait.. i don't think u feel that ur LUCKY to have ME.. u are just taking me for granted.. i used to think it's ok not to check if u would even exert an effort.. i am realistic when it comes to the distance between us.. ur way too far from where i am now.. i dunno if u even realize that I AM WORTH SOMETHING.. maybe for u, i'm not even worth ur tym.. but i have a CHOICE.. either i take it in stride and bear all the pain by myself.. or leave.. perhaps i have been too needy, too clingy for your own good.. but would it be too much to at least hold on to HOPE? that perhaps someday, u will suddenly wake up one morning and realize that YOU LOVE ME too? or do i have to disappear for good? i guess that's the only way u would realize my value in ur life.. so how do i know when it's TIME to STOP HOPING.. and when should i START MOVING ON? perhaps it's tym for me to LET GO.. NO SENSE IN HANGING ON TO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT EVEN THERE.. NO USE IN HOLDING ON TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN CARE... i am now resigned with the possibility that there is already SOMEONE ELSE in ur life.. 4 Comments

IF I TOLD U... Sep 16, 2009 2:31 am 760 Views if i told u "I LOVE U".. would it mean a thing? will it bring a smile to ur lips, or will it make ur heart sing? will it send butterflies in ur stomach, or make u want to throw up? will it make ur day brighter, or make ur quick steps falter? will it make u see rainbows thru the rain, or will it bring showers of pain? if i told u I LOVE U.. will u say, YOU LOVE ME TOO??? 17 Comments
