I have Fallen In Love with the Same Woman Three Times by Ninoy Aquino

I have fallen in love
With the same woman three times
In a day spanning nineteen years
Of tearful joys and joyful tears

I loved her first when she was young
Enchanting, brilliant, middle-strung
Vibrant, fragrant, eternally new
Cool, invigorating as the morning dew.

Desperate, she shared, quieted my despairs
Hopeful, she fanned the fires of my hopes
Lavished me with days of bliss and peace,
Endless, perpetual days of fond memories.

She is my hope; I do not wish to realize
Hence my hope; forever green, eternal prize
My life transcending life, my ultimate quest
Dream of my life for whom Ill spare no rest.

I fell in love again
With the same woman the second time
When first she bore her child and mine
The first fruit of our union and our love.

The pains and anguish of motherhood she braved
Loved her children, their love she deservedly craved
Times were she hung on the very brink of death,
Unflinchingly fulfilling her mission to procreate.

In politics I plunged, she was always by my side,
Steadfast, uncomplaining, helping to turn the tide,
Amidst hardship, her rare courage would not relent
She was my secret weapon, the source of my strength.

The world was my concern, our home her domain,
The people mine, the children hers to maintain,
So it was in those eighteen years and a day
Till I was detained, forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly she became our sole support
Wellspring of hope, source of comfort
On her shoulders fell the burden of life
She emerged our captain in the sea of strife.

I fell in love again
With the same woman the third time
Looming from the battle, undaunted, unafraid,
Calm composed, she is God's lovely maid.

It has been a year of many disappointments
Endless dark nights, long days of sad lament,
Of grave doubts, frustrations, bitter desolations,
Of privations, untold indignities, humiliations.

Dreams became nightmares; hopes, despair.
Rally to freedoms call, no one will dare.
Future is obscured, life has lost its meaning,
The tunnel is long, were only at the beginning.

Leaders I admired, whose advice I sought
Became fallen idols, their souls were bought,
Their conscience they bartered for soft convenience,
Due to despicable cowardice, they've lost their patience.

Leaders became dealers, begging for part of the spoils,
Forgetting the value, the essence of the hottest toil,
Paralyzed be fear, they joined the amoral dictator,
Defending, waving the bloody flag of the new oppressor.

The pillars of society became the props of tyranny,
Be realistic, they urged, if not for safety, for money.
It is useless to resist, the tyrant is too strong,
Yet aware, with their help the tyranny will prolong.

Mother Pilipinas weeps, her noble sons are gone,
Her land of the morning, is now of the setting sun,
Back to her dungeon in chains shes been returned;
For all her sacrifices, this is what she earned.

The night is cold and dark, there are no stars,
Our prisons are full, our souls wrinkled with scars,
Afflicted, persecuted, struck down but not crushed,
How soon will this blight be erased by Allah's brush?

My only escape is to cling to the woman of my dreams
Who gave me a life full of love, a love full of life,
She is my urge to live, my sole motivation to survive,
She taught me not only to dream, but to make dreams alive.

Fight on! She says: Let not the guiltless ghost depart.
Your pains, our people know are caused by a thousand darts,
But be assuaged, remember the Filipino, his story, his past,
Soon, very soon, the tyrant will choke in his greedy power lust!

The Cross

The Cross

A young man was at the end of his rope.

Seeing no way out he dropped to his knees in prayer.

"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear."

The Lord replied,
"My son, if you can't bear its weight,
just place your cross inside this room.
Then open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."

The young man was filled with relief. "Thank you Lord," he sighed, and he did what he was told.

Upon entering the other door, he saw many other crosses, some so large the tops weren't even visible.

Then he spotted a tiny cross leaning against the far wall. "I'd like that one Lord," he whispered.

And the Lord replied,
"My son, that is the cross you just brought in."

We all have our trials and tribulations, yet sometimes those
of others seem so much less troubling than our own.
Share this reminder with your friends and family of how
although times may seem to be hard,we have many blessings to be thankful for.

I've never been to ME


Hey lady, you lady
Cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother
And a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about
The things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you

Whoooa, I've been to Georgia
And California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places
And friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

Please lady, please, lady
Don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you
Why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
Still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part
Of a weary heart
that has lived million lies

Whoooa, I've been to Nice
And the Isle of Greece
While I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things
That a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise
But I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is
It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people
And places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying
For unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew
I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring
The subtle whoring
That costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to meeeeeee

I've been to paradise
(Never been to me)..

can i be exempted to this?

OMG! Italy Catholics asked not to text during Lent
AP
By ARIEL DAVID,Associated Press Writer AP - Thursday, March 5

ROME - Roman Catholic bishops in Italy are urging the faithful to go on a high-tech fast for Lent, switching off modern appliances from cars to iPods and abstaining from surfing the Web or text messaging until Easter.
ADVERTISEMENT

The suggestion goes far beyond no-meat Fridays, giving a modern twist to traditional forms of abstinence in the five-week period Christians set aside for fasting and prayer ahead of Easter.

And it shows the Church's increasing focus on technology's uses _ with many of the Lenten appeals posted on various dioceses' Web sites.

Dioceses and Catholic groups in Modena, southern Bari and other cities have called for a ban on text messaging every Friday in Lent, which began last week with Ash Wednesday.

"It's a small way to remember the importance of concrete and not virtual relationships," the Modena diocese said in a statement. "It's an instrument to remind us that our actions and lifestyles have consequences in distant countries."

The diocese said the "no SMS day" seeks to draw attention to years of conflict in Congo fueled in part by the struggle for control of coltan mines. The mineral is an essential material in cell phones.

The Turin diocese is suggesting the faithful not watch television during Lent. In the northeastern city of Trento, the church has created a "new lifestyles" calendar with proposals for each week of Lent.

Some ideas: Leave cars at home and hop on a bike or a bus; stop throwing chewing gum on the street and start recycling waste; enjoy the silence of a week without the Internet and iPods.

Italian laity and clergy have reacted cautiously to the proposals. Some say Lenten abstinence should be a personal matter, and others contend that people who need technology to work shouldn't be asked to do without.

"What does giving up mean? If the use is capricious, then abstinence is welcome, but if technology is needed for work it makes no sense," said the Rev. Giancarlo Angelo Andreis, a priest at a Rome basilica.

"I have to decide how to experience the Lent period. I should give up something if I really feel it, not because the Church says so," said 26-year-old Angelo Dente.

The Church is trying to balance an increasing appreciation of modern communication with a wariness of new media.

In January, the Vatican launched its own YouTube channel, with Pope Benedict XVI welcoming viewers to this "great family that knows no borders."

Benedict praised social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace for forging friendships and understanding, but cautioned that online networking could isolate people from real social interaction.

The pope has also warned about what he has called the tendency of entertainment media to trivialize sex and promote violence.

Suck It Up by: SweetSexyThing

-here's another one-

i just love what she wrote this time...hahahah Kewl Tita...i'm so proud of you...
Mwah Mwah.



Suck It Up
by Sweet Sexy Thing/Happinezs
Ahhh…mundane biography
I’m more erratically freaky than I gave myself credit for. Just as sometimes you cannot fathom everything we go to face. If the walls aren’t painted and or the buildings are too high and nobody could determine what floor you’re able to climb with all your human strength using the fire exit. We wonder all the time the choices we took that affects some people. And sometimes we are not allowed to be tired because you have to be strong for somebody but that somebody never looks the way you lengthen your rope just ease up the whole thing. The complex of everything was snarled and yet you should start pulling everything you need to get things right though it doesn’t really made sense and you end up screwed. But there’s no way of getting out and no point of stopping because you have to fight and survive, then play your role well. Its so funny when you cannot choose what you really wanted after all and things work out like you’re stuck in your computer that is older than you are and you cannot do whatever your work demand you to because your annoying company hadn’t given you the good compensation you deserved as much as the computer don’t deserved to be upgraded because the company has been trimming down expenses to save some stupid peso for whatever purpose they’re up to. One more thing, it keeps repeating in my head— alpha gets upset coz you date a gorgeous guy just because she thinks you don’t deserve to date him. And she has a big mouth to tell everybody that she’s prettier than you are. —Damn, can some people get a life and be happy for other people’s lives? She’s earning triple higher than I do. She’s in touch with her family four hours to sum it all, every day and been on line the whole hours she’s in her room and plays the alpha role. What more you could ask for? What’s her problem? Sometime she mouthed that we should switch tables for wearing fancy clothes. Whoa! For the love of fashion. Humor me.. I cannot run down the things that are too crappy but definitely getting into my nerves routinely. Ugh! If only I could ditch this and move on. I don’t know how well…good enough my choices are. I’m damn coward! Nobody cares if I’m quitting and worse I’ll pay up for that nonsense move. Wish I could sleep and wake to the time that’s everything’s a little less pain in the ass even. Wish I woke after this excruciating inert that I’m already one of the bloodsuckers in Forks. That’s lifeless and cool, huh.—I’m stuck in my character in a book; forever frozen and remembered by somebody who cares to read it.— But this reality, and it is easy and boring after all, and the challenge is to survive in this small mangled course I’m into. People and friends were there, they come and go …that’s cute and they make your life enjoying. They stayed when they needed you for a while and be with them some time and that is perennial cycle. Our paths are crossed with purposes and we’re never the same boat regardless. Their misery was never a big deal just don’t evade my sanctuary, and my chaotic little principle. I thank them for helping my life well enough and my mostly, the basic, my family, I wish I’m theirs’ really. As much they’re mine to go home to. Thanks almost also to my mother and father who has chose me to be alive and discard me after. I’m smarter enough to bring my existence with compulsory guts to the fittest of my limited capabilities, with the help of my family who gave me family. My family who needed me that I’m remorseful of being lame to do a better situation of serving them well. My mind really doesn’t function well, does it?.. On my own and useless, which I played safe long enough to be crazy contented under any circumstance I’m into. God has better patience on me and my little chaotic principle. I’m learning to be responsible in every way I do and grab. That’s necessary. I just hope this would come to a final consistence of gratification. Some pretense made sense and regain what it’s suppose to be. It’s never too late for those who are brave, and lucky? To the deepest desires I still yearn would embrace the totality of me and meet me at the boarders I’m trying to reach. Finish line is far and I should put some unwanted stuff down to a lighter course and the journey would’ve made effortless worthy. Now I’m here stuck and I’m sensible freak because I need to. Same story at the lame insensitive alpha. Nevertheless, we should circumvent our comfort zones and put in what’s better rather than the best.

Yeah, it’s another day today and I woke cold and I always have a before bath drink to keep my system warmed before the cold water touches my skin. I thought of the clothes I’ll be wearing today, every Wednesday of almost a year now since we had our new sets of uniform. Black, I believe black is the absence of all colors. It’s a humor that I should prefer wearing them at work, thinking work is the absence of the colors of life, I mean not work actually but being in that building and the misery that’s with me since the first time I set my eyes on that dark place with lights and everything stuff in there, as if I’m at the portal of place with fire and grief. Good thing fluorescents are brighter at our office. But there I knew that not all things were materialized with how it’s suppose to be because it’s how you see it in the whole picture of what you seem to be that made it less agonizing. It’s taking the important and throws the rubbish. I was brought up to hold no grudge of things and just deal of what’s there. I think it made me easy to take everything lightly and learning some along. I never bother wanting anything rather be contentedly working and living normally without thinking much where I’m headed to. Everything seems hard but I enjoyed neglecting a lot of things rather being diplomatic about the feelings only. That’s my weakness, I cannot afford to hurt intentionally just for my own defense. I’m selfish in my own ways but I couldn’t care less with complications as much as I stayed away from pains and problems. I don’t practice taking risks with myself if I’m not a soldier to it. I thought of myself sometimes as coward. But I just see it differently. Sometimes I thought of I might need somebody helpful to check out on me.Hah! But those are the top list of my chaotic little principle. And it was twisted recently just because things are more irrational rather to leave ones morality undefended and abused. I never have a critical judgment on people’s bad intentions in many situations—-but I believe with my instincts drives me to stay away from their inevitable threatening fallacies that protect their own irrational selfishness; by leaving the situation helpless— if cannot do anything about it but if it concerns me, my survival instincts drives me to run from it or leave myself undefended rather shielding. Coward am I and useless. I really don’t realize if somebody appreciates this nor understands what I’m talking about. I’m more complicated myself than the things around me. I really don’t realize what’s this all about but I just want to share what’s in my head the vague things that’s been running every single second that I live through. I guess nobody understands better me, maybe Jin or somebody witty enough to penetrate my totality animated with worldly naturalness.
But I love my music everyday stocked in my winamp. That made everything worth living. Hah! That’s one of my indulgences beyond complications of things. That makes me, me. I worked neatly with my task today and I’ll be prepared for the general meeting this afternoon while catching up to get this blog finished. I really don’t write much but I wanna rein my tantrums this way. Anyway, today is very normal lifelessly the same as the other days. Nothing worth worrying with this petty monotonous…working hours. Probably my day would end up with a resentful apology for my cowardice. My spirit is lost? I’m not sure.. Where’s the future? Filthy useless crap..me.

the art of letting go

THE ART OF LETTING GO
by: SweetSexyThing/Happinezs


I could never realize how am gonna face life without the person I loved deeply and who loved me for who I am. That he will never be mine forever. He will marry the girl who will bear his child. And I cannot get him back just like usual break ups because of third party.



She was his girl in his town that I never realized she could ever exist. I didn’t see it coming. Everything was good or so I thought, and we’re happy together for a year or so. We went to work together everyday for 8 to 10 hours a day 24-7. I could not care less if he’s having he’s off once a month to visit his hometown. And I don’t know why I don’t go with him and see his parents every time he invited me to. I was so confident that he loved me so much and he could not find somebody better than me, after all he won my heart over our boss and another two guys he conquer just to have me. We worked together and have fun and love each other everyday in a restobar we were working. Everyday he would receive a note from me, posted on his locker during breaks or on his dtr with a kiss mark on it, when ever our shifts don’t end with the same time. And he would show it me it the next day; it’s like bringing his reports to me, and of course, followed by a sweet kiss not to mention the safest hug ever. And if we got the same schedule together, I would help him dress up and put buttons of his polo and then again end it with a kiss. And he would never eat without me, for God’s sake, even if he hasn’t all day long and we’ll end up eating a large meal together. He took care of me everyday because he told me he’s just thanking me for loving him so much. He was my life that time. You see, that’s my routine. How could I ever forget every inch of him in his suit and his scent during early shifts and during peak hours. I was young, in love and happy. I would not exchange him in anything because I believed that he’s the only thing I got. My happiness and my home. I would not say it’s perfect; I wasn’t really like living a dream, of happy in-love and secure life. But I would never dream of anything but having him by my side and being happy of the few things we have, and I ever believed in contentment at that time. But I could say, I’ve never been happy ever, in a relationship. Some of my past relationships screwed me up. After all, all women dreamt of having a night shining armor that would love and take good care of them. And we’re good until that devastation happened. We never had a closure.



I can’t ever forget the day when one of our co-employees received a text message and out of shock he showed it to me;

“ Pakisabi kay Mark pupunta ako OB Gyne bukas, masakit yung tyan ko, kelangan nyang umuwi “ Michelle



And I can’t believe that I really saw his face go red when he read the message and looked at me as if I could understand what it meant. Then he asks permission from our manager that he needs to go. I really am not sure how my life was after that. We didn’t talk about it. We worked together but we ignored each other as if we don’t know each other. One day he decided to approach me but I thought I don’t deserve to know the whole story like the way he’s faking. All along had I thought that there’s a pregnant girl all the while our relationship was there. Then I decided to quit my job.



He tried to stop me and offered marriage instead. But all I can think is the child, and I cannot deprive the child to grow without a father. Growing and living each day with pain and rejection like me.



When I lost him, I forced myself to live again. I had my new job, changed my lifestyle, moved to a new place and start anew. It was very very hard but I didn’t have a choice. My dignity and I, was the only thing I got that time. I can’t sleep well for months; all I do is cry and cry but prayed, very hard. I even knelt and begged at the altar of a church just to ease the pain. I don’t know how long did I cry and mend. I didn’t realize how long pain stayed in my system. I can’t even turn my head to the boutique where we usually buy his cologne. I can’t go to the places where we usually hang out. I don’t eat the food we usually eat. I tried to cut all the communications to the people that were connected to us. I did everything to forget that part of my life. But the hardest part of it was enjoying the pain in me. Living in pain and believing that it’s easier to get hurt rather fighting for your right to love and be happy. I had loved. Loved a man to the finest way I knew and lost him to the roughest way I ever known. I never thought of loving again. And if I have to, I would give anything to make it last with me, only me.



Nevertheless, I am an abandoned child…I never knew where do I exactly came from and who my parents were, personally. They just left me in a neighbor, a couple who just lost their 17 year old daughter due to heart failure. Can’t you see,” I’m a blessing!” And I grew up in a complete family who took care and love me more than my loser biological parents should have done.













I believe that’s the reason why I cling to a person who gives me time and care. I never dreamed of having the best things in life actually but having somebody with me and making things possible, I know that’s more than enough.



If everybody would think I’m normal and happy, eventually I have a complete family, never did perfect but I was blessed. As I grew older and started to figured out things, pain and loss was my disease. It’s an unwanted feeling of emptiness and rejection which I try to overcome, everyday. Every time I witness heartbreaks, failures, frustrations of other people and mine, fear sucks and it’s eating me. I never knew this cloak of grief would rest on me. I’m the usual girl everybody sees and think of who I am, but there’s more to heal inside of me..I don’t know how this could ever be cured.



Four years flew fast…It’s been four long years since that incident happened. Never had I thought how hard to live each day picking up the broken pieces of me, until one fine day, August 20, 2008, our ways cross again. The man I used to love. We bumped unexpectedly and decided to have a few talk in a coffee shop. God, it was so beautiful! Life is really so mysterious, isn’t it?



I could never feel any pain or regret. All I can see is the man who helped me learn to face the battle of loss and pain. I should have known how it feels good to let go and move on for good. Sometimes we should let ourselves get hurt for a while just to make things right.



But I could still see and feel how guilty he is. I really feel sorry for him deep inside. He said he’s fine, the usual family man but his choice changes his life he said. It wasn’t a bad choice though but he said it’s a thing that an unplanned choices usually broke a man’s direction anyhow..That every single wrong move will never get back your life back again. I wish him faith and happiness of his choices. Everything serves purpose, I realized that very moment.



Loss and pain is just a part of my journey. It was never only about it actually. It’s about how to continue healing and moving forward of where my choices would lead me to. No matter how incomplete we are.. but we still the are ones who are in charge of own happiness, ..our own choices. I also believe finding one true love will heal this disease completely. I know I have so much to give and I will find, in time.



Loving and be loved is everybody’s dream that few could ever find peacefully. We are here for different purposes and missions, everyday we journey building our destiny and looking back every choice we made, and the outcome is what we just deserve.



To those who are lost and in pain, just hold to your deepest desires in this life, for letting go is actually finding something stronger, a beautiful reason why sometimes we need to stop. Every wound heals and leaves scars that tells story. A story that will define us and will motivate us to make our lives even better. We all continue to journey with faith and in God’s love so we could fully understand what is our journey is all about.

Paulo Coelho

Reader Alvaro Conegundes tells that during the ice age many animals died because of the cold. Seeing this situation, the porcupines decided to group together, so they wrapped up well and protected one another.

But they hurt one another with their thorns, and so then they decided to stay apart from one another.

They started to freeze to death again. So they had to make a choice: either they vanished from the face of the earth or they accepted their neighbor’s thorns.

They wisely decided to stay together again. They learned to live with the small wounds that a very close relationship could cause, because the most important thing was the warmth given by the other.

And in the end they survived.

Don't break the elastic!

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.
And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.' Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day....like her breasts.. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.



The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:
'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'
'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'


'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.'

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.' (Oh, my!!)

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.'
'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'


Please send this to five phenomenal women today..
If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem.



If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles! Believe me, I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking.... I sent it to a lot of special women I care for.

Wedding AVP

Thank you to Mr. Ruben Licera Jr. who made this AVP.
Ruben, we are truly grateful for this work of art.

2008 was a great year!

and there are lot of things to be thankful for.

3. I met my ultimate Idol, Ms. Eula Valdes. Wah! it is indeed a dream come true. Plus, I met some friends who shared the same passion and admiration towards this great woman. The EulAddicts, Karen, Shle, Jessa, Princess, Claire, Phey, Majune, Ate Marby, Si Sam at Tita...si Ate Shey pa pala.

4. Did a wonderful trip with my friends, in Tagaytay, Dumaguete and Negros.

I might had forgotten some of the highlights in my life last year. But I am truly grateful to God for giving me a wonderful year. To some it might be boring and imperfect but for me it is more than what i've asked for.

Thanks so much Lord God and I'm praying once again that You will guide and Bless me this 2009...
Thank you!
