Love that lasts a Lifetime

It sounds like a myth, a fairy tale that hope"ful" romantics cling to.

And i mean hopeful because that's really what they are all about - the hope that someday they will meet "the one", that someday they will find the unconditional love that they see in movies, that someday they will experience everlasting love.

I don't know. I used to be one of them. What the heck - who am I trying to fool? Despite all the cynicism, deep inside, I still am. Blame it on Hollywood

The Nicholas sparks' inspired movie, "The Notebook", is one of my all-time favorites and most effective tear-jerker

There is actually a song version of the same story, and it is equally moving. Whenever I feel the hope slipping away, I listen to this and I feel renewed...

WALKING HER HOME
Mark Schulz

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you'll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground

(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son

His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes

And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night

(Chorus)

He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side

A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out

When they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Just One

Out of about 7 billion people in the world, I want only to be with YOU.

Ironic, isn't it?

The world is so populated, but I can only ever see one person. I can only really hear one voice out of the crowd. I only crave for one company.

You.

And I guess the reason is clear :

Anyone can make you happy by doing something special. But only someone special can make you happy without doing anything.

Why Me?

I was living quietly, relatively happy, in my own little corner of the world. You came by and made some noise, kicking at the dust that had settled down around me.

I looked at you and willed you to go away and leave me in peace. But you just wouldn't. You kept bugging me to get up and LIVE - nudging me a bit when I wouldn't budge.

I tried to avoid you. I truly did. Maybe even as early as then, I knew you spelled trouble for me. My self-preservation instincts kicked in. I didn't realize it at the time, but you scared me.

There was something about you that was too forceful, too powerful for me to ignore. Subconsciously, I knew that if I let you in, I would be trapped.

So I fought to stay in my safe little world. I made myself busy so I had valid reasons not to be with you. I kept you at bay. I even hid from you at times.

But you were so stubborn. You just wouldn't let me be. I was doomed.

Against my better judgment, I tentatively placed my hand in yours as you helped me get up and go out. Ever so slowly, I took baby steps to explore this new world that you wanted to open up for me.

It took a long time, but I was finally there. This new world was fun, exciting, and gave me this warm feeling that I'd missed for so long. Soon - too soon - I was hooked.

It was then that I felt the change. You started pulling back for no apparent reason. I was confused. Only a moment ago, we were so happy and were enjoying each other's company. The next moment - you were gone.

The warmth was suddenly replaced by a freezing coldness. Stripped of all the protective layers that I had built around myself, you left me shivering out in the open. I was not prepared.

So now, Im lost. How do I find my way back to my safe little world? How do I get back the happiness that I had before you came? How do I cope?

If you had simply lost interest, that would have been fine. I just wish that you hadn't just dropped me like that. The least you could have done was lead me back home.

Hate That I Love You"
(feat. Ne-Yo)

[Rihanna:]
That's how much I love you
That's how much I need you
And I can't stand you
Must everything you do make me wanna smile
Can I not like you for awhile? (No....)

[Ne-Yo:]
But you won't let me
You upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget (that I was upset)
Can't remember what you did

[Rihanna:]
But I hate it...
You know exactly what to do
So that I can't stay mad at you
For too long that's wrong

[Ne-Yo:]
But I hate it...
You know exactly how to touch
So that I don't want to fuss.. and fight no more
Said I despise that I adore you

[Rihanna:]
And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah...)
I can't stand how much I need you (I need you...)
And I hate how much I love you boy (oh whoa..)
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you so (oh..)

[Ne-Yo:]
You completely know the power that you have
The only one makes me laugh

[Rihanna:]
Said it's not fair
How you take advantage of the fact
That I... love you beyond the reason why
And it just ain't right

[Ne-Yo:]
And I hate how much I love you girl
I can't stand how much I need you (yeah..)
And I hate how much I love you girl
But I just can't let you go
But I hate that I love you so

[Both:]
One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss won't make me weak
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me...

[Ne-Yo:]
Yeah... Oh...

[Rihanna:]
That's how much I love you (as much as I need you)
That's how much I need you (oh..)
That's how much I love you (oh..)
As much as I need you

[Rihanna:]
And I hate that I love you so
And I hate how much I love you boy
I can't stand how much I need you (can't stand how much I need you)
And I hate how much I love you boy
But I just can't let you go (but I just can't let you go no..)
And I hate that I love you so

And I hate that I love you so.. so...

Sad Truths

"Pag may nagsabi sayo na 'Bakit mo ba minahal ang taong ayaw naman sa`yo? Madami naman dyang iba ah...' Ito ang isagot mo: 'Kapag nauhaw ka ba, iinom ka ng tubig kanal dahil tubig din yun???"

"Bakit square yung box ng pizza kung ang mismong pizza ay bilog? Siguro isa lang ito sa mga patunay na di lahat ng pare-pareho ay magkasama. Merong magkaiba na sadyang para sa isa't-isa"

"Sana bago k man lang nangiwan, tinuruan mo din akong makalimot katulad nung pano mo ko tinuruan MAGMAHAL"

"Minsan naniniwala tayo sa mga salitang di naman totoo; Hinihiling ang mga bagay na hindi mapapasa-atin; May mga pagkakamaling di magawang pagsisihan; At higit sa lahat pagmamahal na kahit talo ay pilit ipinaglalaban."

"BEST RELATIONSHIP? its when you both know you're inlove with each other yet you stay friends ..SWEET FRIENDS =)"

"I often wonder why things didnt work for us. Patience? Meron. Time? Meron din. Trust? Of course! Love? Sobra sobra! Pero teka... Was it ever the both of us o ako lang?"

"Pag natitiis ka na niya... Tanggapin mo na lang na nagsasawa na siya.. :’c"

"Masakit ang malaman na kailangan mo na siyang iwan pero mas masakit malaman na okay lang sa kanya ang mawala ka."

"Good men can be found in every corner of the earth...but unfortunately the earth has no corner..."

"Mahirap mahalin ang isang taong may mahal nang iba lalo na pag kaibigan mo pa ang minahal niya. Patukso-tukso ka pa! Kunwari kinikilig sa kanila. Pero sa totoo lang, ang sakit sakit na."

"Mahilig tayo mgtago ng nraramdaman, lalo na kung alam nating bawal o di pde.. pero may mga bagay na mahirap isantabi lng... Minsan ksi pag nagmahal ka kahit walang pag-asa di maiwasang mahalin mu ng sobra! ♥”

"Ang pag-ibig masarap pakinggan at madaling paniwalaan… pero kung ‘di mo kayang panindigan, ‘wag mo na lang umpisahan para wala kang taong MASAKTAN.”

“Noon minahal ka niya. Akala mo forever pero iniwan ka rin niya. Pinipilit mong ibalik ang noon pero hindi mo kaya. Sino ngayun ang manhid? Siya dahil hindi niya maramdamang mahal mo siya? O ikaw kasi hindi mo matanggap na ayaw na niya?"

"Mahirap lumugar sa buhay ng taong nilugar ka nga, hindi mo naman alam kung saan."

"Hindi porket alam mong takot akong mawala ka, eh lagi mo na akong tinatakot.=("

"Kahit ilang beses kong sabihin sa sarili ko na ayoko na sa yo, wala akong magawa. what the hell. I still love you. Badtrip."

"Minsan kailangan mong maghintay. Minsan kailangan mong magtiis. Minsan kailangan mong umiyak para maipadama mo sa taong mahal mo na handa kang gawin ang lahat para lang sa kanya."

"Ang manhid na tao ay maihahalintulad sa bato. hindi nga nasasaktan, pero nakakasakit naman."

"Masakit pag nag 'I loe You' ka, tapos hindi sya sasagot ng 'I love you too'. Pero mas masakit kung mag 'I love you' ka, tapos sasabihin nya: 'Thank You'."

"I thought it was over

That I finally let you go

I even found someone else to love

And I loved him even more...

But it breaks me to see

That although I tried my best

God...As much as I loved the other one,

I never loved you less..."
