Qoutes and all qoutes..

One of the guarantees in life: Falling in love will change your life..

Somewhere between heartaches and waiting comes another chance to be found by someone who can show you that you don’t deserve to be just an option but a choice.

People say that i have changed…maybe i did that’s because i’ve stopped living my life by their rules

you never really stop loving someone…you just learn to try to live without them

life's a box of chocolates..youll never know what youll gonna get..

"Ok Sometimes when Im talking with someone and get excited about what Im saying, I find myself saying things I've never said before/ It seems almost as if Im 'channeling' an intelligence that isnt mine-one that understands life much better than me. But this is rare. In most conversations I prefer to listen. I always feel as if Im learning someting new, even though I wind up forgetting it all.""

Love doesnt ask many questions, because if we stop to think we become fearful. Its aninexplicable fear; its difficult even to describe it. Maybe its the fear of being scorned, of not being accepted, or of breaking the spell. Its ridiculous, but thats the way it is. Thats why you dont ask-you act. As youve said many times, you have to take risks."

"Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering."

"I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if were alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange."

My worst enemy is myself.

Daddy

I was told that I was daddy's little girl and that I hold a special place in my father's heart .

My dad passed away in April of 1999 in Cambodia. I remember our last remaining days together where I often called him every afternoon and we would talk for a few minutes about life and our daily updates. It was also the time where he wanted me to show the new rubber shoes I bought for him and how he has so happy and how it fitted him well. The news of my dad's death came to me when I was on a motorbike on my way back home. When my mom told me that he's gone. I jumped from the bike and ran on the streets towards home crying so loud that all of our closest friends were already in our house and have heard of my wails and came immediately to comfort me on the streets. I was a total wrecked during the days of the wake but one has to be strong as well as we needed to bring dad's body back to the Philippines, where the rest of the family awaits for us.

My dad.. A very loving, caring, supportive father for us all.. always there for us in times of troubles and happiness. Never ceased to continue showing his love for us. Never ceased to provide us guidance about growing up, about the world out there, about love, and all other things that we need to prepare ourselves in the outside world. He made sure that even minor problems are shared, as he often says.. " it is better that you express your fears and problems and ask for guidance than doing it all alone until you were not aware that your fear has turned you into something else and for a problem not to get worsen"..

I have grown to confide in him my thoughts and problems as he often would lend me his shoulder to cry on and comforted me with his loving words.. He was my strength during the times I was weak. There were so many instances as well that we would also fight a lot cos I can be so stubborn at times. I tend to break his rules most often but he was there guiding me more. He taught me to be conscious of security and my safety that being his eldest child and his only girl and he being an officer in the military -- taught me great things that I was able to apply in my daily life. I can go on and on writing about his greatness that I often find myself ideally wishing and hoping that my sons will be like him when they grow up.

What I miss most of not having a father now..

To cry on when I feel so alone, empty and telling him about my fears.. A comfort when I needed someone to just appreciate me for what I am and what I am not.. celebrate with during triumphs.. a smile and nod for reassurance that what I am doing is right.. advice and guidance on certain things that I find to be a continous challenge in life, love, marriage and raising children...hope and strength in times of losing something that you believed in.. a hot warm meal specially made for you.. coming home where he is there waiting for you even it was in the wee hours of night..

I miss you a lot dad.. it is so different without you. I continue to struggle alone without a father to be there by my side. I have learned to live and decide on my own specially when there are moments that a guidance from a father is needed.

Your legacy and love is always with me..in us dad..Thank you for all the things that you have taught me over my growing years.. preparing me to be the person I am now.. I hope that I am not letting you down from all the past decisions or future decisions that I shall made.. I know you are out there for us..

I wanna thank the people i know,
For they have helped me when we were so low.
Despite of every mistakes, together we grow,
And because of them, my life's given a glow.
I wont pretend that i don't need them,
Family's are treasured like precious gems,
They've given me hope in despair,
In the darkness, they lit a resilient flare,
In our lives, there are plenty of struggles,
Problems to solve, queries tangled,
Amidst everything,
in my doubts and in my fears,
We portray to be strong,
but we just cant conceal our tears
Thank you Titas' and Titos',
Cousins and Friends,
With your helping hands,
my life depends,
I wish that this one thing I did
Will make you smile so splendid,
I owe you our lives, my life and my education,
You are an answered prayer, a divine intervention,
More power to you and God Bless you,
Just in case you need us, don't fret, we'll be there too.
Thank you.

When you look in the eyes of true love you see total wonderment. Amazement is also apparent. Their eyes seem to question why they're so blessed that they still have each other after all these years. My grandparents have been together much more than the years they've ...been apart. Each is each others life. How beautiful is that? 62 years is a lifetime for some, for these two it's the number of years they've been in love. And by the look of it, they'll reach past 65.

One can never imagine that true love can go beyond generations and decades and encompasses all the challenges faced. Yet, I have witnessed in my own very eyes, that true love is indeed magical and it continues to live inside one's heart and soul. My grand parents love for each other has shown us what it is to be with your one true love.

All her life, she gave her all to him. Never wanting to let go. Every move, every decision and every action she takes its all for him. All his life, he could not take any steps, any decision, any action without her by his side. He waits for her to come anytime of the day. Never start a meal without her. She cooks for him..its always for him. Until this day, sweet embrace and loving kisses are still shared by them in any moment that they have. The way they looked at each other even from afar, one can always say.. Their eyes showed how much love they feel for each other.. Ahh, True Love.

Its been 62 years of marriage.. we are so blessed to be part of their love, to witness their renewal of vows as couples. I wish that most of us will be like you. This is for you Seth and Elizabeth. Congratulations and Best Wishes for your Diamond Wedding. I love you so much Tay and Nay.
