It's Valentine's Day once again. Every February we always celebrate this special occasion.
It is not only for lovers but for everyone who is in love. :-)It maybe love for your special someone, love for your family and most of all love for God.
Maybe you are wondering now what gift to give to your special someone. I think i just suggest that you can give anything as long as it comes from your heart to give that someone whether it is expensive or not. It's the thought that counts anyway.
So... everyone.... I just want to say Happy Valentine's Day!!! and Happy Birthday to those who were born this love month... especially to my sister. :-)

It's All About LOVE
When you think of your past love, you may view it
as a failure. But when you find a new love,
you view the past as a teacher.
In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who
won or who lost. What is important is you know
when to hold on and when to let go!
You know you really love someone when you
want him or her to be happy, even if their
happiness means that you're not part of it.
Everything happens for the best.
If the person you love doesn't love you back,
don't be afraid to love someone else again, for
you'll never know unless you give it a try.
You'll never love a person you love
unless you risk for love.
Love strives in hurting.
If you don't get hurt,
you don't learn how to love.
Love doesn't hurt all the time.
Though the hurting is still there to test you,
to help you grow.
Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's
called falling in love because you don't force
yourself to fall. You just fall.
You cannot finish a book without closing it's
chapters. If you want to go on, then you have
to leave the past as you turn the pages.
Love is not destroyed by a single failure or
won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in
which we are always learning, discovering, and
growing.
The greatest irony of love is letting go when
you need to hold on and holding on when you
need to let go.
We lose someone we love only when we
are destined to find someone else who can
love us even more that we can love ourselves.
On falling out of love, take some time to heal
and then get back on the horse. But don't ever
make the same mistake of riding the same one
that threw you the first time.
To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk
dying, to hope is to risk failure.
But risk must be taken
because the greatest hazard in life is risk
nothin! To reach for another is to risk
involvement,to expose your feelings is to expose true self,
to love is to risk not to be loved in return.
How to define love:
Fall but do not stumble, be constant but not
too persistent, share and never be unfair,
understand and try not to demand, hurt but never keep
the pain. Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart
or it can carve wonderful images into the soul
that always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed
to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire
you and give you joy and strength.
But sometimes the things that give you joy
can also hurt you in the end. Loving people
means giving them the freedom who they choose to
be and where they choose to be. For all the
heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days
and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for
you know, that there were the things that helped
you grow. Loving someone means giving him the
freedom to find his way, whether it leads
towards you or away from you.
Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must
be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only
then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and
that is love. Only love can hurt your heart, fill you
with desire and tear you apart. Only love can
make you cry and only love knows why. If you're not
ready to cry, if you're not ready to take the risk, if you're
not ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to
fall in love.
There was a time in our lives when we
became afraid to fall in love coz everytime we do, we
get hurt, then I figured that's why it's called falling
in love.
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO LOVE,
ALLOW IT TO GROW...
WHEN YOU PROMISE TO LOVE,
REFUSE TO LET IT DIE!!!

A Poem
Why do we close our eyes when we sleep?
When we cry? When we imagine?
When we kiss? and When we pray?
This is because the most beautiful thing in the
world is unseen.
We are all a little weird and life's a little weird
and when we find someone whose weirdness is
compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall
in
mutual weirdness and call it love.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who are
hurt,
those who have searched and those who have tried.
For only they can appreciate the importance of the
people who have touched their lives.
A great love? It's when you shed tears and still
you care for him, it's when
he ignores you and still you long for him.
It's when he begins to love another and
yet you still smile and say I'm happy for you.
If love fails, set yourself free, let your heart
spread its wings and fly again.
Remember you may find love and lose it,
but when love dies, you never have to die with
it.
The strongest people are not those who always win
but those who stand up back when they fall.
Somehow along the course of life, you learn about
yourself and realize there should never be
regrets,
only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you've
made.
A true friend understands when you say, I forgot,
waits forever when you say,
just a minute, stays when you say leave me alone,
opens the door even before you knock and says can I
come in?
It's more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than
outwardly. Outward tears can be wiped away while
secret tears scar forever.
There comes a time when we have to stop
Loving someone not because that person
has stopped loving us but because we have found
out that they'd be happier if we let go.
It's best to wait for the one you want than settle
for one that's available.
Best to wait for the one you love than one who is
around. Best to wait for the right one because
life is too short to waste on just someone.
Sometimes the one you love turns out to be the one
who hurts you the most, and sometimes the FRIEND ,
who takes you into his arms and cries when you cry
turns out to be the love you never knew you
wanted.
just want to brighten up your day.

Is He Really The One?
Whether or not your partner is right for you is one of the most
important decisions of your life. Your entire future depends on these
choices so how can you be sure you have the picked the right one?
Well, the first thing you need to do is honestly ask yourself why you
love or are in love with your partner? You would be surprised at the
answers you hear when you ask that same question to your friends.
The wrong answers to that question include the following:
Because they love me.
It's better than being alone.
I don't want to hurt them.
Because I am not ! sure I would find someone better.
These answers indicate a relationship built upon fear, insecurity and
pity.
There are good matches out there, but if there are too many ifs, ands
or buts, then sooner or later the relationship will fail. Now that
doesn't mean you will break up, you could stay together for the rest
of your lives and s! till fail as a couple.
So the question still remains, how do you choose the right partner?
Obviously you are going to choose a partner that you are physically
attracted to. Apart from that aspect, there are a few important areas
you should look at:
Communication Level-When you talk to them, are they on the same level
as you? How long does it take them to answer your question? Do you get
bored because they answer everything else under the sun rather than
the question you asked or do you enjoy the tangents they ta! ke you
on?
Do they speak very slowly compared to you? Do they understand you
when you speak? Can you really talk to them about absolutely anything?
This may not seem important now but could you imagine living with
someone for the next 50 - 70 years that can never answer a direct
question, frustrates you to no end by their speed of communication and
just doesn't get it when you are trying to explain something to them?
Common Interests-This is really a given. You have to have something in
common with them to be able to be with them. Otherwise you will have ;)
nothing to talk about and nothing to do together. Yes, physically you may
have great sex,but how far can that really take you? When two people have
different interests, one person usually ends up
sacrificing their desires for the other person... or you end up living
completely separate lives.
Ambitions-Do you both want the same things in life or are they going
to hold you back? Are they willing to let you have that career you
have always wanted. Even if it means working long hours plus going to
school at night?
Ethics Level-Do they have the same values as you? Would they feel
totally OK doing something that you would have strong objections to
or vice versa? Do you have the same beliefs on major issues such as
religion, prejudice, raising children etc? If not, is this something
that will become a problem in the future?
Grooming and Cleanliness-Are they a slob and are you the type of person
that likes to keep the house immaculate? Do you take the same level of
care of your appearance? There is a lot of false information about
relationships out there. One of the biggest lies is that opposites
attract. That is really just a myth. Now a lot of the things listed above
do come down to personal choice. It comes down to what you are and
are not willing to accept. Just because you have fallen in love with
someone does not mean that they are the righT one for you. The number of
people in physically or emotionally abusive relationships should be
testament enough to that.
One t h ing is for sure. Do not settle for something less than you want
because you are scared of hurting them, being alone or you feel this
might be the best you can get.
You never know what you might have missed that was right around the
corner.
Settling is always settling, no matter what way you look at it
By doing so, you will be left with a lifetime of what ifs.
love doesn't ask "why?" for it is a reason itself... love doesn't ask
"what if?" for it is willing to risk all...love doesn't ask "until
when?" for it knows only forever...

You long to give yourself to someone.
To have a deep soul relationship with another...
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively
BUT GOD says
"No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and contented
with being loved by Me alone...
With giving yourself totally unreserved to Me
To having an intensely and unique relationship with
Me
Discovering that only in Me can your satisfaction be
found,
Then you will be capable of the perfect human
relationship that I have planned for you.
You will never be united with another until you are
united with Me...
exclusive of anyone or anything else,
exclusive of any desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow
Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing...
One that you cannot imagine.
I want you to have the best.
Please allow Me to bring it to you. Just expect the
greatest things...
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.
Just wait. That's all.
Don't be anxious. Don't worry.
Don't look at the things that others have gotten or
that I have given them.
Don't look at the things that you think you want.
Just keep looking off and away and up to Me,
or you'll miss what I want to show you with a love
For more wonderful than you've ever dreamed of.
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for
you is ready
(I am working even this very minute to have both of
you ready at the same time).
Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me,
And the life I have prepared for you.
You can't experience the love that exemplifies your
relationship
with Me and is thus, the perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful
love in My time.
I want you too see in flesh, a picture of your
relationship with Me.
And to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting
union of
Beauty, perfection and love that I offer you with
Myself.
Know that I love you utterly
Believe it and be satisfied.
- Jesus

Just wait. That's all.
Don't be anxious. Don't worry.
Don't look at the things that others have gotten or
that I have given them.
Don't look at the things that you think you want.
Just keep looking off and away and up to Me,
or you'll miss what I want to show you with a love
For more wonderful than you've ever dreamed of.
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for
you is ready
(I am working even this very minute to have both of
you ready at the same time).
Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me,
And the life I have prepared for you.
You can't experience the love that exemplifies your
relationship
with Me and is thus, the perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful
love in My time.
I want you too see in flesh, a picture of your
relationship with Me.
And to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting
union of
Beauty, perfection and love that I offer you with
Myself.
Know that I love you utterly
Believe it and be satisfied.
- Jesus

About love
What a girl needs most is love. What a guy needs most is respect. The most important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy its his ego.
Give your man his own time and space. Let him have his time for his friends, sports, family, self and God. The relationship will grow old quickly if lagi kayong magkasama. Give him time to miss you and you'll see how he will love you more. If the guy naman is obsessed and just wants to be with you all the time, tell him you cant respect a "puppy" for long.
Do things differently anytime. Para kahit matagal na kayo, there is always something fresh and new. Variety is the spice of life. Exciting kung baga.
Discover something you both like to do and enjoy it TWOgether. Doon naman sa mga bagay na magkaiba ang hilig nyo, compliment each other by learning about it kahit konti. If you love someone, yung effort nyo to try will go a looooong way to understanding him later pag may disagreement kayo.
Pray with holding hands. Sounds corny noh? Maybe, but its very powerful. Pag may takot sa Diyos ang boyfriend,mo, kampante ka na di ka nya lolokohin, because he knows God sees everything he does in secret. Ikaw na ang magkusa that before you part after date, with hold hands and eyes closed, pray to God to bless you two. Believe me it's effective. Kailanman, di corny ang magdasal.
Believe in "Magic". Kahit di minsan practical o walang logical na dahilan, o matrabaho, o sounds crazy sa iba, do sweet little things for the one you love kahit magmukha ka ng timang. The memories will be fun to recall later in life. The corniest song o gift o letter ang laging asteeeg! True love brings out the best in each other. Find something good in your boyfriend and nurture it, encourage it and syempre, ENJOY it.
It's healthy to fight. Doon nyo lang maaayos ang mga differences nyo at natetest ang tatag ng relationship. Doon mo rin sya makikilala ng mabuti. Its called test of fire. Di mahalaga how dalas you fight. What matters is how often you make bati. Mas nakakatakot yung relasyong sobrang perfect at laging masaya. One big fight and that's it! And diba mas kilig yung malambing na... "uy, bati na tayo...".
But don't overdo it. Kakapagod naman din na lagi na lang manuyo o magsori. Choose the battles na papatulan mo. The little issues, palampasin na. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Daraan sa iba't-ibang stages ang love especially pag matagal na kayo. Grow with it. Don't expect him to be like nung una. 'Coz like a student, di na ituturo sa grade 6 yung lessons na pang-grade 2. Change WILL happen... you both will change and your love WILL change too. It's up to you na lang if the change will be for the better or for the worse. Life is about growth. Grow with it.
When break up comes and it's time to say goodbye, don't doubt the love just because it didn't last. May mga bagay sa buhay na di man nagtatagal, it doesn't mean di na ito totoo. Some good things are just never meant to last forever. Okay lang yon. Bless the parting and move on. Expect tears, sorrow, sleepless nights and pain. Ika nga "it's when you hurt the worse that you love the MOST." Kung di ka willing masaktan, wag ka na lang magmahal.
Life is a balance. And love is both holding on and letting go. Know when to fight for your man and when to let him go. God will guide you kung anong dapat gawin sa kung anong sitwasyon. So dapat mataas ang signal ng langit sa cellfone ng puso mo to know His wisdom.

Mga Dahilan Kung Bakit Single Ka Pa Rin
Mga Dahilan Kung Bakit Single Ka Pa Rin Ilang ulit na bang nangyari sa iyo ito? Ngayon ang kasal ng pinsan mo. Heto ka ang gwapo-gwapo mo. Naghanda ka talaga dahil minsan-minsan lang ang okasyon sa pamilya nyo. Kadalasan sa mga lamay na lang kayo nagkikita-kita so ngayong kasal ng pinsan mo, gusto mo namang maging gwapo at mapansin nila. Aba, napansin ka nga. Ganito ang tanong ng lahat ng kaanak mo sa iyo..."O ikaw kelan ka ikakasal?" "Uy, ikaw na ang susunod ano?" Parang gusto mo na sa susunod na lamay sila naman ang sabihan mo ng "Ikaw, kelan ka susunod?" Huwag kang malungkot. Ito gusto nga kitang sumaya kaya sinulat ko ito. Hindi ka dapat malungkot dahil maraming posibleng dahilan bakit hindi ka pa kinakasal hanggang ngayon. Hayaan mo silang mainip sa paghihintay. Basta kung okay ka, okay ka. Hayaan mo tulungan kita mag-isip kung bakit wala ka pa ring asawa hanggang ngayon. Naisip ko na 'yan eh. Ito ang sampung dahilan bakit wala pa.
1. Kailangan mong mag-concentrate sa career.
Habang hindi ka pa tinatamaan ng palaso ni kupido, hamo na munang magconcentrate ka sa trabaho mo. Kailangan mong ma-achieve ang full potential mo bago ka mag-asawa, kasi 'pag nag-asawa ka na, tanggapin na natin, iba na ang mga prioridad mo sa buhay. Lagi ng mauuna ang pamilya. Habang feel mo pang lumaban ng lumaban sa rat race at umakyat ng umakyat sa corporate ladder, huwag mong panghinayangan na wala ka pang sariling pamilya.
2. Masyadong mataas ang standards mo.
Ibaba mo kasi ng konti, baka naman kahit sino hindi ma-achieve yung standards mo. Kahit naman ikaw di ba? Meron ka ding kapintasan?
Baba mo ng konti, yung makatarungang pamantayan lang. Baka naman naghahanap ka ng Jennifer Aniston eh di ka naman si Brad Pitt. Lumagay ka lang sa dapat mong kalagyan. Baka naman naghahanap ka ng kasing yaman ni Zobel eh ikaw naman eh pobre din lang naman. Huwag. Huwag ganoon. Para kang g**o non. Baka naman naghahanap ka ng smart, na maganda at mayaman. Kuya, kung ganon ang hanap mo, malamang tatandang binata ka na talaga. Di lahat binibigay ni Lord. Di bale kung salat sa face value, babawi na lang siguro yung sa bait at sa talino.Kung puro face value naman, at salat sa kaalaman or masama ang ugali, manalig ka na lang na baka pag pinakain mo ng gulay tumalino or ito the best, lahat naman ng tao nagbabago. Pwede pa 'yan bumait.
3. Hindi ka lumalabas ng bahay.
O baka lumalabas ka nga ng bahay, sa opisina lang naman ang punta mo. Huwag ganon. Sumama ka sa mga kaibigan mo, mag-mall ka, magsimba ka, mag-outreach program ka. Huwag mong pansinin ang sarili mo sa bahay dahil wala talagang makakapansin sa iyo sa bahay. Mag-aral ka ng painting, voice lessons at Yoga. Imaginin mo kung magka-girlfriend ka na Yoga master? or di kaya, chef. O di ba cool 'yun? Magliwaliw ka sa bookstores, sa coffee shops, at kung saan-saan pang mataong lugar. Baka sakali mapansin ka doon.
4. Baka naman sobrang tapang mo.
Oo nga naman, baka naman sobrang masungit ka at natatakot sa iyo ang mga potential partner mo. Baka dapat kang maging approachable ng konti. Baka masyadong maangas ang dating mo imbis na matuwa sa iyo matakot. Baka sobrang independent mo, at parang mabubuhay ka ng wala silang lahat. Minsan may epekto rin 'yan. Baka sobrang talino ng dating mo pakiramdam nila mababara lang sila.. Magkunwari ka kayang t**** minsan-minsan, tingin mo?
5. Baka naman kasi di ka maayos manamit.
Oo nga naman, mag-ayos ka paminsan-minsan kaya lang kung pangit ka, pangit ka talaga. No amount of make up can change that. Pero at least pwede ma-enhanceng konti.
6. Baka naman hinahanapan pa ni Lord ng ribbon ang para sa iyo.
Natatandaan ko ang sabi ng kaibigan ko. Blessing daw from the Lord ang mga girlfriends/ boyfriends. O eh baka naman hinahanapan pa ni Lord ng magandang ribbon yung regalo mo. Kasi baka daw 'pag hinarap ang packaging i-reject mo.
7. Baka naman nagtitipid sa toll fee yung para sa iyo.
Malay mo kasi taga-Norte yung para sa iyo eh mahal naman ang toll fee. Baka nagtitipid dumaan sa walang toll kaya medyo natatagalan.
8. Baka naglakad yung para sa iyo.
Parating na 'yon kaya lang mahal ang gasolina so naglakad na lang papunta sa iyo. Besides, walking is good for the heart daw. Baka sa kakalakad naligaw na.
9. Baka sadyang torpe ka lang talaga.
Baka naman sobrang tagal mong mag-ipon ng lakas ng loob o di kaya mag-iisip ng magandang tiyempo. Baka talagang ka lang makapag-salita dahil sobrang mahiyain ka.
10. Baka naman talagang for single blessedness ka.
Ipagdasal mo. Baka naman kasi pinapagod mo ang sarili mong kakaisip bakit you're still single eh hindi naman kasi marriage ang plan ni Lord for you. Paminsan-minsan magtanong ka kasi sa Kanya baka naman ikaw ang naliligaw. Baka naman ikaw ang nagtitipid. Baka naman kasi ikaw ang problema. Gasgas man, pero sasabihin ko pa rin. Darating Din Yun. Kung para sa iyo, para sa iyo. Kahit iwasan mo, para talaga sa iyo.
