got this "spam," if you're in love or wants to be - read on:
Lesson About Love
It's hard for two people to love each other when they live in two different worlds... but when these two world collide and become one. That's what you call...MAGIC! If you're AFRAID to love a person because of friendship, you have 2 choices, either tell what you feel and let the love take place of forever or hide the feeling under a friendship full of PRETENSIONS.
Sometimes I asked myself, what would make me HAPPY? To think that I have everything else, I get what I want.... Then I REALIZED IT WAS YOU, too bad coz' it's YOU I can't have....... Love can never be so beautiful without FRIENDSHIP….... one leads to another and the process is IRREVERSIBLE...... the BEST of lovers is the GREATEST of friends!!! Love DOESN'T have to have a HAPPY ending, 'Coz love doesn't have to end at all.
When you love someone, DON'T expect that person to love you back the same amount. One of you will be ahead, the other behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits. Never be AFRAID to fall in love. It may HURT a lot, it may give you aches and pains, but if you DON'T follow your heart, in end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.
I'm sorry if you can't love me the way you loved the one before me, so I'll let you go to find him/her and hope someday you'll see that the TRUE LOVE you're looking for was the one who set you FREE. Isn't it funny?? We're trying to catch the attention of the one we think we love. We hardly NOTICE them till they are in the arms of someone else....
Love is like standing on wet cement, the LONGER you stay, the HARDER it is to leave and you can never go without leaving your prints behind.... THINK OF THIS: have you really cared for someone more than you expected? Have you ever tried to love him/her despite of all the pain? Will you keep on loving he/she whispers someone else's name? Will you??? True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart......
When you love, you must NOT accept anything in return, for if you do, you're not loving but INVESTING. If you love, you must PREPARE to accept pain. For if you expect HAPPINESS, you are not loving but USING..... I like you because you're my friend and because you are my friend and I care, and because I CARE, I LOVE you, I don't love you because you are my FRIEND.... I Love you because I do!!!!
FOOD FOR THE THOUGHT: it's better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than lose someone you love with your useless pride. I can't choose who I'm gonna love, but I also can't just love who chooses to love me.... and you can't blame me in choosing to love you as much as I can't BLAME you for not learning to love me. "
How can I say GOODBYE to someone I never had??? Why do TEARS fall for someone who was never mine? Why is that I MISS someone i was never with and I ask why I love someone who's LOVE was never MINE? "Don't love a person like FLOWER, cause a flower dies in SEASON. Love them like a RIVER cause river flows FOREVER......
Love may leave your heart like SHATTERED GLASS, but keep in mind that there's someone who'll be WILLING to endure the pain of picking up pieces so you could be WHOLE again....
somehow, it reminds me of jigsaw puzzles .... it requires time, endurance and patience to fixed a whole picture...I know it’s tough...my friend told me that!!!)The MoSt CrUeL ThInG a GUY could do to a GIRL is to let her FALL in LOVE when he DOESN'T InTeNd to catch her FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*

went to work and noticed as i was walking along paseo that the i'm not wearing my clothes right. the frontside facing back. damn....

Saturday, July 23, 2005
so i'm back to work again. the bus was supposed to leave at 9am but we left the bus station 9:30 am fil time.... sigh. so i arrived past 9 lst night. the tire popped 3 or so hours after we left naga. what a bum. took almost two hours to fix it. at least there was a vulcanizing shop nearby.
my brain has not adjusted to work mode yet. i wish i could've stayed there longer.

time to go back to naga. lala yin and lala din came with me. my two aunts will follow us later. my father picked us up. we arrived in naga around 11am. there's not too many passengers so it was only the three of us on the jeep. mother will cooked spaghetti for merienda.
went to francia to visit my lala dad's grave, which reminds me i haven't been to lolo nof's in goa. said my prayers and left. paid my respects to Ina and went home. it rained that afternoon, we had spaghetti. my aunts in naga came to our small house and traded stories with my grandma and my mom.
around 9pm my father drove us over to uncle lito's house, brought over some spaghetti. ayen and kareen came with us. it's a sad house. played with my young cousins there - chutes and ladders but no one won. everytime we take the ladder up, we would somehow end up on the chutes and we slide back down. so no one won. kareen almost did, nini almost did, kai almost did, i almost did, but the chutes caught us and down we went.
that's life.... i heard....

Wednesday, July 20, 2005
woke up past 7 am. my cousins have all gone to school. lala yin and lala din about to attend mass on the only chapel in buyo, which reminds me that i haven't been to church for so long. i didn't come with them. i should've but well i reasoned that i can't go there wearing my clothes yesterday (lame, huh).
spent the half the day roaming around buyo. buyo is on the south eastern slope of mt. isarog. went to the other house (commonly referred to amongst us as balyo, which roughly translated means other side) and it is owned by one of my aunts. it's a 10-15 minutes slow walk from my lala yin's house. there is an old house there where a house sitter lives, one of our distant relatives. the house is surrounded by mango, guava, avocado and pili trees. some banana plants out front and jackfruit trees.
across the house is the farm owned by my aunt, palay the color of gold ready for harvesting. "if it doesn't rain on saturday" said the sitter. then behind the house are more palay fields. i experienced passing through it to get to lala yin's house. and that was quite a trek. we don't do it unless we're feeling adventurous. we take the usual boring road but on that day my cousins and i felt like exploring so we went the back way. the worst that could happen though is you could fall flat on your face on the mud if you missed your step and of course hibo, which when you catch is itchy like hell. my grandmother when she learned of it, told us we were all crazy looking for nothing but body ache and trouble. the only thing that hurt after that walk was our feet. but it felt good, the adrenaline rush, the wind, the scratches and everything.
there was a small creek by the old house. we used it for swimming when we were younger but now it's been filled by mud where there used to be sand and gabi has grown on our small swimming pool. i missed the old days. life was much simpler then. near the house is a samll river, kulasi. i remember frolicking there with my cousins after a strong typhoon region because that's the only time it gets cleaned up and the water level really rises making the current more stronger and much suited for swimming. the strong water carry big rocks and felled trees and also stirs the snakes living living near the river. but during normal days, kulasi is full of grass and i don't dare take a swim since it passes by houses whose denizens used it for reasons that don't just include bathing. then there are pigsties built near it and carabao dung which is unavoidable since the river is surrounded by palay fields. the sad thing is the water is getting shallower and shallower. big storms mean more water coming from the mountains and those waters carry big rocks and felled trees.
so when we're feeling adventurous and feel like swimming, we trek to ranggas. the first time i went thre, it was with a bunch of my cousins. we went with our yaya who lives close to ranggas. it's a long walk from my lala's house, maybe 30-45 minutes. we don't go there often because we've been warned of elementals and even NPA's. we're more afraid of elementals actually because that river is supposedly enchanted. to go through it is to passed through endless jungle of coconut trees and the path is mostly rocky, dense vegetation, and fewer houses the farther you go. there's no electricity on these parts so we always leave before dark. it's easy to get lost. plus the aswang stories told by our yayas are always fresh on our minds. it's enough to make us walk faster when daylight is fading.
ranggas is much bigger than kulasi since kulasi is just one of it's tributaries. the current is much stronger, some parts of it are deeper, more than 4 feet. one thing you will notice about ranggas are its huge boulders and rocks the color of orange. the rocks are slippery and some will cut your feet but that doesn't keep us from the water. the water flows from mt. isarog. i have never gone up that mountain. i wish i had. i wanted to find out if what i've heard is true - 2 springs, one hot and one cold just beside each other. can't imagine it so i want to see if it's true.
*
went home before lunch. my lala yin won P100 on a sort of promo by lucky me (noodles). she used it bo buy a live chicken. that poor chicken is LUNCH. since my aunts and uncle were not there. it was now up to me and my brother to...well kill the chicken and prepare it so we could cook it. i have seen other people kill chickens but i have never participated in that gory stuff. i just eat it when it's on the table. but today i have no choice. somebody has to hold the chicken while shoty slit the poor thing's throat. and that somebody is me.
so he got a bowl, filled it with uncooked rice. i held on to the chicken's wings and it's legs. shoty plucked some of the feathers off it's neck and slit the chicken's throat. blood oozed off it to the bowl with the uncooked rice. the chicken convulsed violently while it's slowly being drained off of it's life. then it went very still. then we heated water and dunked the chicken there. then we started plucking the feathers. shoty got hold of a bolo (since we seem to have problems with our kives all of a sudden) and chopped off the head. opened up the chicken, found some would-be chicks . yellow colored bulbs. the chicken was fat. found lots of yellow stuff - its fatty tissue. took off it's intestines. carefully removed the butt part (for the obvious reason). found the liver and the gall bladder which burst and that is a bad thing because that would make the liver too bitter to eat. so shoty washed the liver furiously. chopped off the thighs and wings. cleaned up the adidas, scraped off the scales. but then we decided we didnt want it so threw the adidas away. i know i'm not sorry. i just can't imagine nibbling that thing...urghhh...
grandma decided to have two dishes done with it adobong manok and sinabawan. so we prepared the ingredients - onions, luya, toyo, suka and garlic for adobo. we know that it's a very old chicken, so it's meat was very tough. should've used a pressure cooker to soften the meat but no time for that. so that was lunch. i have just murdered a chicken for my lunch.

here's what happened on july 19:
arrived at naga a little over 4am. no jeepneys passing through cbd yet and don't want to take the trycycle bec they'll charge me P50-60 no (so, no way jose). decided to take a bus then for just P5 - good thing there was a bus about to leave for partido. still too dark to see anything outside. nearly missed my stop. no pedicabs yet - had to walk the distance from the entrance to the subd to our house (it's like walking from the pasay road-paseo to ayala ave). it was cold, dark and a little exhausting.
the dogs didn't bark at all. mugsy recognized me and so did my pet choco. slept half the day. then went grocery shopping in the afternoon with my brother. he went to his class afterwards. then i waited for my brother at the bus station around 7pm. we took the bus for goa - left at 7:30pm.
i missed traveling at night. we passed by endless fields on our way to goa. the moon was out in all its glory. we passed by farms ready for planting, the silver glow of the moon reflected on the muddy surface. the muddy fields looked like we were passing by still silvery water. but of course you know it's just mud, it's only your eyes playing tricks on you. but the view is still breathtaking.
we passed by areas of nearly endless black and green. broken only by a a lone house surrounded by nothing but palay fields and the looming dark mountains beyond. no electricity just electromax to light yor nights. i don't think i can live like that for so long. i tried that - spent two days on an island with no electricity (just stars to light your nights), and no running water except for seawater and the water from the balon (which is not too stomach friendly). but it was a great experience - wouldn't those trade few days for anything else.
and so our bus passed through palay fields of ocampo and the sugarcane fields of tigaon. the roads were empty. few cars on sight and no people roaming at night. street lights are quite rare and very far apart from each other. on some areas there's none at all. just the bus' headlights.
buyo, where my lala lived was very different when i was younger. but it has changed a lot since. dirt roads were now paved cold hard cement. i missed our that old road. rocky, grass growing on the sides and around the big rocks, muddy when it rains, and an occasional carabao dung.
arrived at goa past 9pm. uncle henry has been waiting for more than an hour for us. sorry uncle - bus was movin' too slow. reunion with my grandma lala yin. been a long time since i've seen her. still the same grandma i've know in my youth only thinner but still feisty =) i am her eldest grandchild.
she's going to be 80 in december. i wish i could be there on her birthday. my cousins have all grown up. one is about to have his first baby. everything is changing fast. i feel like i'm trailing behind, moving too slowly, stuck on a muck, just stationary. am i happy? half the time... is the glass half full? it all perception...
dinner was crabs (ginataan). heaven....

Monday, July 18, 2005
i'm going home tonight. i hope i will - that is:
1. if i manage to catch the last bus to naga
2. if my sister doesn't forget to wake up early
3. if she remembers to buy me a ticket
4. if i could get off early
5. and avoid a last minute long call =)
coincidentally, here's what my friendster horoscope has to say for today:

Today's Forecast
The travel bug hasn't just bitten you; it's infiltrated you. You're showing no scars, but you can't seem to stop looking over brochures of cruises, especially since a loved one is more than game to go along.
The Bottom Line
Whether you're mountain climbing, sea kayaking or walking, your blood is pumping!
In Detail
You've played your cards close to your chest for a while now, taking care to exercise every possibly caution, especially when it comes to protecting you and yours. At the moment, however, the heavens have arranged an opportunity for you to take off and show the rest of world just how well you can navigate risk and challenge. You won't be happy with yourself if you don't accept the dare -- and you know what that means.
whew...
we'll see

ARIES WOMAN
She thinks the world is watching her through the eye glasses of rose petal frame. She thinks people think and talk about her only about good things and often disappoint to know the fact that they are not true and not even real,so she will feel hurt. She think her path has to be a beautiful one. She thinks only good things so she prepares and always makes arrangement for herself to be in the right path always, quite systematic indeed.
If there is no guy in her life, she will be busy with herself. This seemingly ordinary woman will push herself to meet her goal. Her face mostly will be slim and long, high cheek bone, Eye brow slightly curve up, slightly tall more than short, thin lips and she will have quite a confusing mixture of character.
Sometimes, she will be very careful about guy she will mingle with. She thinks as if she has a main CPU in her head and she could memorize everything from her childhood. When she's faced with problems, she will handle them and solve them very well, and at the same time showing other people that she has that capability. She can put her mind in solving problems and
nothing will stop her.
Woman in this Zodiac could be totally different from one woman to another woman. You could see her in the party dancing like flash dance or dirtydancing, as well you could also see her as an old fashion lady or a geek.She could be someone flashy and wanted by many men, or she could be a cold and non-social person. She will have her own way to win you over. Once she choose you, she will need to be proud of you.
"Love" is not as important to her as "Marriage". Her real goal in life is"Safety" and her position in other people sight need to be "Secure". She plans her life, and social life easily and very carefully. She is also very artistic and realistic, so if you are a nobody or nothing, no chance because she loves ambition and a good life. She needs lots of love,but does not want and does not believe in an occasional or unconventional love.
She is proud in nature type, so if you see a woman in this Zodiac come from a poor family, she will act like a woman from a noble family by birth anyway (certainly there are always exceptions)! She always look cool even when she is not. She likes to make people see her as "secure and confident" even she is a mixed emotion and mixed character type. If she is mad, you can tell right away and she can stay moody for quite a long time.
You never have all her time, for she likes to work hard and also spent some spare times working for charity. You will see woman in this zodiac a "Volunteer" for camp, and if she is in a high society, she will most likely be a president or a V.P. of a "Club". She is romantic and artistic, but being poor and unstable is certainly not in her dreams. Her beautiful imaginations need to be realistic, for failure is not in her plan.
A Goat always climb high, so either she start from a low point or a highpoint, she will make sure at the end she will have the best spot. She will not show her ambition, but she will show that she's satisfied with herself now. Once you look back she already moved up again , quietly but surely.
If she is your love one, be supportive and understand her. She is stubborn, but she will listen. She will act like a gentle fragile person,but in fact she can stick like a super glue without you knowing it.
