one liner...

love is not about what we say... it's about what we do.

blame it on mina...

today's weather is sooo gloomy. para syang vetsin sa mga gloomy thoughts. suddenly i feel sad being single. sigh.. maybe i just missed my sun celphone too much, because i left it at the office last night. i miss the long conversations i usually have with my very close friends.. sana maulit yung ginawa naming gimik sa tagaytay last friday... we got there around 11pm, we ate, drank, and chatted until 3am, then balik na ng manila.. nice no? that was the first time i've been to that place na'ng ganung oras. i really enjoyed that night, as much as i enjoyed the company... sigh. ok moment over, back to work!! grrrr....

"tact"...

... a keen sense of what to do or say in order to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense .

such a small word, but with great gravity... so great that when i lost it at one point, so much more followed. i became careless, insensitive, judgemental.. and worst of all, i was regretted of being known. i guess i deserved it. i don't even know if i would be able to redeem myself.

nutty trivia...

did you know that swans are the only birds with penises?... nuts, isn't it?

timeturner pls...

i remember reading someone's shoutout in friendster..

"to realize the value of a friend, one must lose one"

i didn't actually lose this particular friend. but i realized his value to me when he found a new friend for himself... because i took him for granted, unawarely though. not that i didn't want him to gain new friends, i just got jealous thinking that i'm no longer the person he enjoys talking with... worse, i have myself to blame. i wasn't there when he needed someone to talk to because i was too busy at work. i thought he understand. perhaps he does, just in time that came this new friend of his. now i'm so upset with myself. i wish i could turn back time... but i couldn't. i just hope i can redeem myself.

love's easy...

love's nothing, love's easy. it comes out of you... and then you love. what you do after that is the hard part.

quandary...

how do you look out for something that wasn't yours to protect? and how do you let go of something so dear to you but was never yours to hold on to in the first place?

grin department

if my goal is to brighten up someone elses day, mood, or even life, i figured, to achieve that, cheerfulness must come from me.. so i started my day with a big smile, and hope to wear it all day. because being cheerful is contagious.

excerpts...

... from a song that presently makes a lot of sense for me:

i will be here

you can cry on my shoulder

when the mirror tells us we're older

i will hold you

and i will be here

to watch you grow in beauty

and tell you all the things you are to me

i will be here....

reflection

this is too gloomy for a first entry.. but what can i do?

last night, i went to the washroom of a restaurant in glorietta where i had dinner with two friends. then i found myself facing the mirror. while i was looking at myself staring back at me, i learned one other thing that a mirror can do. there's just so much more to see than just a reflection. it even shows different things on each visit. sadly for me, what i saw that particular moment was a sad realization, something that will probably haunt me for a long time, maybe forever.... i hope not. but i won't tell further.

how 'bout you, when you face the mirror today, what does it show you?
