Checkpoint

Love is hard. 


True love, that is.


Somewhere down the road of love you'll reach an inevitable check point. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere and will catch you off guard. Sometimes it will feel like you're racing to see who gets there first. Nevertheless you will soon enough reach that checkpoint where every deep, dark spots of your hearts will be scanned and flashed. And right there and then, you will be forced to evaluate who you are, what you really want and what you are willing to do. Limits will be pushed and buttons pressed. Doubts will rise and you will suddenly feel judged and trapped. But once the search is over, once the impossible mess of a hurdle subsides, you will once again realize that true love is hard to defeat. That in the end, your heart will always choose to love. The sun's rays will slowly push away the dark clouds and make way for a new beginning. Your foot will release its weight on the break and you will move forward. This time, the two of you together will have your eyes and your hearts fixed straight ahead into the future, with a confidence and contentment, that only true love can give.

I wish that everyone gets the chance to experience true love. We were created to love and it is the most rewarding feeling. But I hope you're not expecting the usual "straight-from-the-romance-section" type of love. I mean real love...it's going to require a lot of hard work, tears and pain but, pull through and you'll see...it will redefine your understanding of the expression "it's worth it". 

Happy Thoughts

Happy thoughts. 
Think about nothing else but happy thoughts. 
Close your eyes and imagine...
What makes you happy? 


Now step off the ledge and you'll see...
that there's magic in happy thoughts.
Let yourself go.
Let the thoughts guide you.
Fly away. 
It feels good doesn't it? 


And before I forget,
make sure you don't...
Oh but you did. 
Where did that happy thought go!
Down and flop.

How do you study when your eyes are blurred by tears? 

I have a midterm tomorrow and I am learning everything today. 

I'm praying for a miracle! Maybe it'll be moved to next week!!! 

Good luck to me, I guess.

Dear Friend.

"Dear Friend"

Song by: Stacie Orrico

Dear Friend, what's on your mind

You don’t laugh the way you used to

But I've noticed how you cry

Dear friend, I feel so helpless

I see you sit in silence

As you face new pain each day

I feel there’s nothing I can do

I know you don’t feel pretty

Even though you are

But it wasn’t your beauty

That found room in my heart

Dear friend, you are so precious Dear Friend

Dear friend, I'm here for you

I know that you don’t talk too much

But we can share this day anew

Dear Friend, please don’t feel like you're alone

There is someone who is praying

Praying for your peace of mind

Hoping joy is what you'll find

I know you don’t feel weak

Even though you are

But it wasn’t your strength

That found room in my heart

Dear friend, you are so precious, Dear Friend
