12,310 Blog Entries and Counting.

I can't believe it! My blog made it this far with 12,310 blog entries. And I have been blogging for 12 years already! While most of my friends have quitted blogging, I'm still here, going strong. I am proud of myself. Thank you for reading my blog!

“Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

It is not enough to just say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. "My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action." Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is "T-I-M-E.”

The Guy You're Going to Marry

He’s the one who holds your hand in a dark movie theatre, even after years of going to see movies together. When there’s a scary or romantic or sad part, he always manages to find your hand between your seats and give it the littlest squeeze, or just let your fingers rest softly together. He knows that the best part of movie night is not the movie itself, but spending it with you, and getting to talk about it the whole way home.

The guy you will marry might not be the most handsome, the most funny, the smartest, the strongest. His job might not make the most money, sure, but you would much rather have him at home with you at a reasonable time than have him working nights and weekends at some high-powered job to make you a little richer. He isn’t perfect in any one way, but he’s perfect to you in all of them.

When you have one of your freakouts about something minor, he’ll keep his cool. And when he’s frustrated over something small, you’ll know how to make him put it in perspective. To each other, you’ll be a mix of therapist, doctor, and trusted friend. Sometimes the only thing you’ll need to separate the “legitimate problems” from the “all-in-your-head annoyances” will be someone who can talk you down from the ledge. You will always be that person for each other.

When the raindrops come tumbling, remember you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine.

Heart, ... Speak.

I'm always looking for love. Since young. But the kind of love that I'm getting are always different from what I've imagined them to be. I've different kinds of love in my life. The caring ones. The Hamsap one. The not romantic ones. The romantic ones. The ones whom I fell in love slowly. The ones I love at first sight. The one sided love. The stalker love. But three came close to what I've really imagined love would be and should be. The Christian boy who I fell in love at first sight and was attracted to him with his inner and outer beauty. The chubby cheeks guy who showered me with care and concern effortlessly. And the guy who made me fall in love with him so madly and deeply till I can't see any rotten roses. These were the three that came close to what I call perfect love. Yes, I am currently dating but I am so afraid to be hurt again. But that doesn't stop me from finding love. I didn't expect to write this Long. I didn't even expect to write this at all. But all these just came from my heart. My most sincerest entry.

Stop expecting people to read your mind

Once meeting the love on our way, we completely forget that the other person and also the language of his soul are obscure to our mind and eye. We begin to wait for some actions, just because our hearts long for it, but we forget that nobody but us is obliged to fulfill our desires. We have no right to expect anything from people; we either accept them as they are or do not accept them at all.

STOP trying to be someone else.

One of the most complicated tasks in life is to be yourself in the world, which tries to make you lose your individuality and become a copy. Somebody always will be prettier, somebody always will be smarter, and somebody always will be younger, but they never will be you. Do not try to change yourself to impress people. Be yourself, and those you really need will love you just the way you are.

STOP making your happiness depend on other people.

We should not tie our happiness to something or someone in life; we should always stay self-sufficient. First and foremost, you have to be whole and full of energy, but if you are exhausted and your thoughts are moving in a negative direction, the relationship will be as miserable as your emotional state. If you are unsatisfied with yourself, your appearance, your personality, or something else, having a relationship with someone won’t make you happier. In order to share love and stability with someone else, you should first learn how to create it yourself. Once you are at peace with yourself, the rest will come.

It takes a lot of truth to gain trust but just one lie to lose it all.

Experience never gets old.

For me generosity comes when you're in a state of equanimity. So it has nothing to do with the state or the context that you're in. It's about a radical acceptance of life -- as it is. And when you do that, then you realize that, "Oh, I don't want anything from it so what can I do for it?"

We Can Win

Someone once asked me if when a person who walked out of your life could ever return? I said, "there's once where I lost a button, and when I've got the same button back I've decided to wear another shirt." Such is fashion of human relationships: there's no "coming" or "going", only whether if you cherished the times you shared together - and it goes the same for both friendship and romantic relationships. In a person's lifetime if there's someone who ever truly loved you, even if he/she has left your life - that is true happiness - doesn't matter if they're just memories.
