Thanksgiving day

This is to the one

• who picks you up in his tricycle when it's rainy and muddy outside because he knows you're in gown and in heels
• who shared things and secrets with you
• who texts you in the morning: "ok na volume ng tv namin" which means that he patched things up with someone
• who sewn your dress and made sure you won't embarass yourself
• who patiently teach you how to drive your car
• who accompanies you to the car repair shop
• who surprises you with something nice ( a website, a message, a gift)
• who listens when you're all mushy and crying because you miss someone...but does not judge you
• who gives an honest advice, who is frank with you
• who drinks with you but never lets you make a fool of yourself
• who holds your hand, gives you a nice hug when you badly needed one
• who stays with you and have a good conversation with till the sun shines up in the morning because you can't get inside your house
• who welcomes you in her home, made you part of the family
• who tours you around unfamiliar place
• who gives joy to the unexpected
• who made something happen especially if it is one of your to-do-list-before-you-die
• who gives a little push when insecurities and doubts overwhelmed you
• who is courageous enough to say that he loves you and brave enough to say otherwise
• who made you sing onstage, even took a picture/video of you as a remembrance
• who makes a fool of himself just to make you laugh
• who debated with you for hours and sometimes lets you win
  
• who wrote letters, composed poems for you
• who said: Be not afraid. I'll go before you always. One day you shall laugh. Hahahahahaha! Like that!

This is to the one i found and has found me.
This is thanksgiving day
And this is to a friend...and more.

Premonition

Last night, out of nowhere, I dreamt of someone -- a long lost friend. Someone I haven't seen and spoken for more than a decade. Then today, as I open my email account I received a message from him. Gee, my psychic ability is developing, I hope my spatial ability will be next. Got to learn and memorize the Metro Manila Map. My navigator friend will go away soon.

Comfort zone

These things comfort me:

• a good nights sleep
• watching my favorite tv series/movies
• a nice hug
• a good book
• videoke marathon
• a good picture taken by me
• a smile such as this...

"He smiled understandingly much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced or seemed face: the whole eternal world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that at your best, you hoped to convey" - Anne by L.M. Montgomery

The Final Analysis
By Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
Forgive them anyway,
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway
What you spend years building, someone could destroy ovenight;
Build anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Be good anyway
Give the world the best you have and it will never be enough
Give the world the best you've got anyway
You see, in the final analysis
It is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway

• and the fact that I'm no saint
• and I found this poem I wrote fifteen years ago

I want to ride on a bus
one moonlight night
that runs carefully yet fast
no traffic that will interrupt

Or, sail beyond the sea
with the breeze of wind
touch my brownish skin
and sway the strands of my hair

Or maybe, just lie on the shore
and predict what the future instore
learn--from the failures in the past
rejoice -- to things I've done right

Damn. Suddenly, I'm hungry. Got to grab something to eat.

And sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone.

Broken

She protected him from the possible wrath, insults of her family in the way that she knew how. She knew it would hurt him for she understands the sensitivity of his heart. It could destroy him. And it could destroy her. She waited until she could prove something for herself and found the strength that could hold them both.

But the things that she protected him from, she received from him and his family. And she learned how low, how little they thought she was...

Is this something you want to be a part of?
