“I don’t want to be married just to be married. I can’t think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can’t talk to, or worse, someone I can’t be silent with.”
— Mary Ann Shaffer

hello!

“Love can come when you’re already who you are, when you’re filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.”
— Deb Caletti

I dream of the things YOu already have.

such a sweet song...
i am such a sucker for this kind of thing...

even when you're gone
even when it's all forgotten
You stay here.

You Just Know ...

When You Spent Too Much Time At Work:

- You know almost every person you meet in the hallway.

- Your guests started thinking if you also have a room in the hotel.

- You have so many things you want to buy and yet couldn't find the energy or time to buy them and you started feeling like you haven't seen the malls for a very very very long time.

- Your relatives and friends started to worry if you've been kidnapped because you never return calls.

- You miss the special occasions dear to you and remember only after a week later ( what a shame...)

- You only get the chance to get a glimpse of other's lives through their blogs and status updates when you have the luxury to open your internet access during working hours.

- Your purse is loaded with anything that has caffeine, and instant-energy booster, chocolates and strepsils for your sorethroat.

- When you started loving it inspite of the pain and the hassle because it makes you happy and alive and people appreciate you even for the small things when your know it's just the way you are. And that's just bliss...

- When you're just thankful even when your exhausted... :-) and you're not whining about it.

You crawl and You Push back
And You expect me To Return.
I don't need that For I am whole
I sleep well, I dream,
and tomorrow my life is still sweet.

Breather

For the past two or three weeks I certainly felt like 24 hours just passed by like a blink of an eye. I hardly had time to have a decent meal and a long pampered sleep. This blog which used to be my primary outlet for whatever creative or emotional state I am going through remain doormat and silent for awhile. My journal pages went blank and my usual lightness of being just went back in chaos. Oh well...


What to do? Work is piling up and I don't have that much luxury of time to think about something else that's just irrelevant at the moment.

And yet I feel. I feel you. I decided to stop for a while and listen.

It still feels right. Nothing can stop me even Fear is totally nonexistent.

I can do it. Anything is possible.

Gravity

Dear God,

Please let me go home on time this week. I need a break.
I feel like I'm trapped inside an old woman's body. I love my job, but I love myself too.


Thank you.


Love,
Me.

After a While
After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
and company doesn’t always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren’t contracts
and presents aren’t promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead.
With the grace of a woman
not the grief of a child.
And you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow’s ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way
of falling down in mid flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn
that you really can endure.
That you are really strong.
And you really do have worth.
And you learn and you learn
with every good bye you learn.

You are the magic
I never had the courage
to believe I’d find.
