With a little help from friends, grace in your heart and flowers in your hair...

Everytime I hear that someone is going through a breakup, I want to give them a huge hug like the one above. Strangers. Classmates. Crazy man in the metro. Bestfriends. Room mates. Flat mates. All of them. 

I want to give them a big hug and tell them it will be okay, that their heartsd will smile again. 

But I know how hard it is to believe that, I know what it is like to feel absolutely left out in the cold. I know that you have to take it one day at a time. I know that sometimes you just have to cry. 

Mere fact, I also know that the sun does come back. That you will fet butterflies over new boys. That you will be giddy anout a new first date. That one morning you will wake up genuinely happy about what's ahead. That you will find love. That your heart does heal--that your wings just get stronger. That you come out on the other side a smarter, happier girl. That you will find yourself not wanting   to change any of it for the world because it helped you get to the new you, you are today. 

That even when you think you have a better idea about what you want in life, you dont. That there are extra ordinary things waiting for you. That you have no clue what God has in store for you and that things must fall apart, twist and turn to lead you to the exact place you are meant to be. With the exact person you are meant to be with. 

I promise.

"and there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. 

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.

Get over yor hill and see what you find there, with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair."

Missing Pieces

Argggg! Days of being away from you. Oh God its killing me. I cant even walk alone in the road without you interfering in my way. Im seeing you in my plate when im eating. On my bed when I need to rest. In the kitchen when I need to cook. In my office when I need to work. And the worse thing is when Im sleeping you are always in my dreams saying and making me feel the love that I am really missing these days. Ohhh why cant I live my normal life without you. Through the fact that I know how much you love me. But I cannot find the missing pieces eversince you left. I cant wait to see you again, my love. I have so much to tell you about whats happening in my life nowadays. How things changed this first month of 2015. How I outgrew my fears and face the new chapter in my carreer. You, who serves as my bridge to success this 2015. I love you for always pushing me up to achieve what I really want in my life.  I love you and I miss you so so so much. See you soon!

One Friday Morning!

Yes, Indeed! It is Friday and a perfect time to regain whatever we had lost during the working days! So my friends and I decided to spend the whole day enjoying the beautiful sand and beach. Everything we need for relaxation and fun is already here. How great it is to be in this place where you can see families, lovers, group of people all spending their weekend in a very simple way. So come and take a peek on what we had for this whole fun day.

Fantastic view of Burj Al Arab!

Before taking a dip!!! 

The picture says it all!

We are really grateful of what we had experienced this day. How we laughed, teased each other, played with the waves, jumped to reach the sky. It was, INDEED, a well spent rest day for all of us!

Happy Friday! Good night!

Beach therapy for the UNWANTED ONES

It is certainly a good day for me. It must be Valentine's Day with hearts all over the sky but definitely no. This all happened last November 2 2014, my whole world became a fantasy that you will never think of going back to reality. A stolen day, stolen hours, stolen moments.

This is Mamzar Beach Park in Dubai. A private place that is so awesome for a quick getaway.Just 45 minutes away from the city.

Definitely a good place for unwinding and if you really want to step away to your so complicated life, better choose this place. I am really fond of outdoor activities. Whatever it may cost me, in time or in money, no doubt I will go for it. BUT THIS DAY IS DIFFERENT.

Yes, WE may not have enough money and time, but WE managed to be happy exactly the way we wanted our day to be. We have been through so much obstacles, it all came up to a perfectly unplanned plan. BUT As per him, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION.

Moments WE had was all that I can say truly a blessing in disguise. WE may be in a difficult situation where we need to do things that we don't really want to do. But hey, WE've JUST FELL IN LOVE AND WE COULD'NT HELP OURSELVES.

Despite all the circumstances that we may face after having fun this day, we are still in love. Chatting the whole day, enjoying the place, cherishing our single minute talking and talking on whats gonna happen next to both us. The Past, The present and The future. All in all, if we put it altogether, We could have been PERFECT. Though we are really not. 

At the End of this SUPERB day, we still need to knock on the door of reality. That behind all these smiles and laugh, all this tickling bites in our hearts, we still need to face whatever is written on the paper and be on the LEGAL side.

GOOD NIGHT!

(I WANTED TO POST ALL THE PICTURES BUT I NEED TO PROTECT HIM AND SO AM I. THANK YOU!)

Mother and Daughter's Love Story

“A mother’s love to her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity.”

-Agatha Christie

Being a woman is an advantage, maybe. But being a mother is the best thing I could ever be.

 I am 24 years old and a mother of one pretty three year old girl. Some of you might say that I gave birth in an early age. Some of you might insult me in your own secret way. By any chance, I would like to tell you my own story with me being pregnant with no particular plan. Then with this, it’s all up to you, how you will deliver your own respected opinion. It doesn’t matter.

I finished my studies holding a bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I am a registered nurse, active member of Red Cross Philippines, proud to be one of the PNA’s  (Philippines nursing association), got a job a month after the board exam, then resigned, then finally landed on a job from one of the biggest pharmaceutical back home. To summarize it all, I accomplished my entire task as a daughter before becoming a mother.

I have been to a long relationship, where you may all think, that I am crazy on just sticking into one and not to roam the whole country for another. Yes, once, I loved the father of my daughter. He has been what I dreamt of having for my whole lifetime on earth. But then, nothing is permanent. Nothing will ever last

.

Summer of 2010, when I’ve found out that I am pregnant. I am not really aware of it. We are both not yet ready of having a child. But to remove all of your wrong speculations, a day after we found out that I have a life inside my tummy, we announced it to both parties. My parents wanted me to get married, SOON. His parents, were also into this arrangement. But for me, life is too short to make another mistake. I am not really sure if I want to have the rest of my life with him anymore. So we followed what I want, not to get married and wait for the perfect time.

Then,  on December 2010, I gave birth to a beautiful angel sent from above. We named her VERNICE ISABEL LI FERNANDO. Bouncing baby girl. Mind you all, we both had a difficult time when I am delivering her. My life was on 50/50 and so was she. I stayed in the ICU for 2 days. And my precious angel for 7 days. But we made it! Through the Highest name Of God above. WE MADE IT!

Now, she’s already three years old. Like any other child, all she knows now is to play and play and play…

It is the unconditional love that a mother feels for her children that drives these feelings. It is hard to describe the feeling that a mom has towards her children. Most people don’t understand this LOVE unless they are mothers themselves.

So this is Goodbye???

I never thought I would be writing you this letter. There was a time when I thought our love would stand the test of time and nothing could come between us. Unfortunately, for this short time, the way things are now, we are no longer a positive influence in each other's life. We just make each other miserable instead of happy, and make life harder rather than easier. It is time to call it quits and go our separate ways.

I want you to know that I am not blaming you. I think we have both done everything we could and pursued every option available to try to keep this relationship together, but nothing has helped.

How many times have we said we have had enough and never wanted to see each other again, only to kiss and make up, then try again?

Well, someone has to be the one to say enough is enough and I am doing it now. This time I am not coming back.

I believe that parting now is the best thing for both of us. We still have our careers we can concentrate on and we both have our own families.

I realized all of this last night. When I have read all of the things that I shouldn't have seen in the first place. Yes, I am the one who is looking for something to ruin what we have. But yet I am also the one who's always looking for something for us to hold on to.

Everything inside of me keeps on asking why did I make this decision. Why did I want my life to be complicated as it is not before? 

Simply because this place, this LOVE, has once been my HEAVEN and forever be my HELL.

We still have happy memories from the past. We need to concentrate on making the present as happy as possible and try to keep a positive outlook on the future. I think a year from now we will both be doing so much better than we'll probably wonder why we hadn't ended the relationship sooner.

I want you to know I wish you all the best. You have a lot of great qualities that will serve you well in the future. Let's try to remember the good times, let go of our present miseries, and have the common sense to move on.

We loved each other well--for a time. A small part of my heart will always remember that love and remember happy times we had together, for there were many, yet for a short time.

------- YOU WILL BE MY FOREVER GREAT LOVE, MY FOREVER MISTAKE, MY FOREVER POGING LAMEG-----

02-06-11 gratias te amo to my main man!

Thank You

The sun sets
Upon the golden sand
We sit together
Hand in hand

We gently embrace
And look into each other's eyes
I wonder if you are
An angel in disguise

You hold me
Like there's no tomorrow
I suddenly forget
The past sorrow

I kiss your soft lips
And you kiss mine
I never knew
Loving someone could be this fine

You pick me up
And carry me to our room
Oh how a love can blossom
And a heart can bloom.

Your touch is so gentle
But your hands so strong
How could a love like this
Ever go wrong?

My heart is beating
200 times a minute
Because my love
You are in it

The sound of your heartbeat
All through the night
We fall asleep in each other's arms
And wake to the morning light.

I look into your eyes
And this is when
I say "Thank You"
For teaching me to love again.

I LOVE YOU EACH AND EVERY DAY. :)
