MAGIC... LOVE...

Do you believe in magic? I do!

Not the sorcery and witchcraft thing. But the one that spells love. It is one of the most powerful thing ever to hit one person. The magic of love is something that’s irresistible. Only the naive and the emotionless bunch would not dive into love once it presents itself. Love is a wonderful feeling. It makes one happy and truly takes out a brighter person in each one of us.

But how do we know when it’s for real? That’s when we need to believe. If we don’t believe on things, those would not happen. Likewise if we don’t have any beliefs in love, we would just be left wanting it but would never experience it. It is something that we need to instill in our hearts and minds. Only then will our eyes be opened wide for us to see its true power.

Love is strong and wonderful but it also is shy. It shows up only to those who really believe. Now, do you believe in love?

THE TIE THAT BONDS: MARRIAGE NOT WEDDING

Well, for me, what is more truthful and wonderful is marriage rather than a wedding. Marriage is bounded by love, by truthfulness and respect. And I am just so happy that my sister, Rose tied the knot and was indeed a persona of happiness last November 17. I am also greatful that Ryan loves her so much and I know he will take care of my sister and her children.

If my words are not enough proof that love is really strong between them then just see how smiled filled each photo of them together. All I can hope is for them to have a good life together and share the most out of what they have. Church wedding is coming soon next year and I can't wait for that as well.

Love meets love... In their love story, I did not just see love but also genuine care, respect, trust and togetherness. For the years to come, I will be there for you both. Wishing you all the best!

TEARS AND CRIES

It just hit me when I saw this post from one of my friends in Facebook. "No one is worth your tears, and the one who is won't make you cry." This is indeed true. We should not have ourselves cry too much for just a single person. if that person really loves us, he or she will have the conscious effort of trying not to make us weep.

Many might argue that they will be there even if they make you cry and will just comfort you in times of pain. But for me, why make people you love cry when you can make them happy all the time. I don't believe it is impossible. The main idea of love itself is enough to bring about smiles. If you really love and value a person they should never shed a tear. For if they do, then the pureness of the emotion is tarnished. Tears dry up and disappear but the pain caused by the weeps remain for so long.

FOR ALL OF MY LIFE: MY SISTER'S WEDDING

"For All Of My Life" is the song that has been a big part of their lives. For my sister, Rose and her new hubby Ryan, all I could see is happiness. They are both brimming with smiles and I could not help but be happy for them as well. November 17, 2010 marked their union through civil wedding and it will be the start of a life of togetherness.

I was in the civil wedding ang got a lot of things learned from the presiding judge. He told that MONEY should never be a part of one's relationship as usually it just tends to complicate things between couples. It is compelling that he told that MONEY is just an acronym - Momentarily Owned Not Eternally Yours. Wow, that truly shows something that being rich and getting a better financial standing will not merit a successful marriage. It is love and devotion, trust and respect. He has told a lot more about success, love, reasons and all. Truly marriage is a special contract - no expiration dates, only bounded by love!

To Ate Rose and Kuya Ryan, congratulations. May God continously bless you both. I know you both love each other much. Kakainggit! =)

I JUST CALLED TO SAY GOODBYE

I JUST CALLED TO SAY GOODBYE

By Bluecloud

My heart was pounding – the most it had in the past days. My breath seems to run out as I drastically grasp for air. I am in a place I never wanted to be. In front of me silent and lifeless is a telephone. I am in a complete loss for words. Would I pick it up? Would I be able to utter a sentence? A phrase? Much worse, even a word?

I stood still not even minding the time. My hands grasped the edge of the table as I forcefully push it towards the phone. Slowly, I picked the phone up – placing it near my ear as my other hand try to press the numbers. I know the number I wanna call but I just don’t want to call it. My hands are against dialing the digits and so I continue to struggle.

My hands were cold, my body moreso. The blood inside me seems to rise as my heartbeat continues its ascend. I don’t want but I need to.  I can’t but I must. And so I slowly pressed against the numbers – one by one before the final digit was put. Then came the rings…. Once, twice, thrice and then someone picked up.

The coldness of voice from the other line doused me like cold water. I can’t find the right words to utter. The tears already started flowing as if I left a faucet open. Will I? Can I? Should I? The voice from the other line kept asking who’s calling and then I heaved a deep breath – something that can be heard from the other line. This is the end… I only called to say goodbye… Then there was silence…

THE MAGIC OF LOVE

Love is really something that is universal. It touches and affects anyone whatever culture, age, race or gender. This video is one great representation of what love truly is - pure, sincere and wonderful. it show that happiness is all around when you are in love.

This video shows a wedding proposal of Loubert Rosales to his girlfriend Almira Chung at the Mall of Asia Complex on October 4, 2010.  7 years strong and this was one of the biggest surprise Loubert has given to Mira. The LED screen in the globe of the MOA Complex flashed the big question. Loubert was quoted in saying that he wants to shout to the world how he loves Mira. And he did so by doing this one big surprise.

Truly love can do unimaginable things. And it makes not just the people involved but also the rest of the world feel happy.

YOU ARE MY HEAVEN… AND MY HELL

YOU ARE MY HEAVEN… AND MY HELL

By Bluecloud

Blessed am I to have someone so utterly nice

From which I feel the comfort of one’s touch

Arms that constantly brings me up when I tumble

Shoulder to which I feel childlike never minding the tears

Cursed am I to have somebody so plainly bad

Of which I feel the stabs of an imaginary knife

Words that pierce like needles hurting one’s heart

Strangling me and then leaving me helpless

You are my heaven, it’s definitely true

Though still I feel that you are also my hell

But I don’t mind if you’re my heaven or you’re my hell

Coz’ I love you so much it does not matter at all

TRY

TRY

by Bluecloud

It has been a long time since I last played Asher Book’s Try and when I played it last weekend tears just went pouring down and I could not stop playing it on. I never thought I’d feel so emotional yet again. Try is a story of hope and love. It is a narrative of how one person will persevere just to get close to the person he/she loves. It is a selfless proclamation of one’s never dying emotion towards someone really special.

Even as I try to convince myself that I am not looking for anyone special in my life, it seems as if I am really fooling myself. Yes, I have family, friends and best friend but though they give the love, respect and care, sometimes it’s not enough. That single piece that’s missing is the love from that special someone. It’s like I am in a puzzle and has one tile piece that I can’t find.

As the song says, one should not get tired of looking. Try and try and who knows, love may be around the corner. It might be a long wait but one thing’s for sure – God has someone prepared for you. You’ll never know when it will come. It just strikes us unexpected. Love is never a tiring experience. Try and love and soon enough the heart will be showered with all its glory.

ARE YOU REALLY JUST 40%?

Are You Really Just 40%?

by Bluecloud

Decisions should be made. Choices should be done. But a lot of things need to be considered. Each one should be carefully weighed. Which ones are more compelling? Which of the options is better than the other?

On each day of our lives we are trapped with making decisions. It’s usually this or that. We can never choose both. We have to at least pick one and make the most out of that choice. Before making choices, we tend to lay down all the cards. The pros and the cons are equally laid to see which outweighs the other.

Is there a need to go? What holds me from going? I guess I know you are a big part of that. The fear that happiness may not be there is quite daunting. I’ll never leave for a place I know that I won’t be happy. Leaving has always been an option but the idea of not having to go really heightens. I don’t want to leave since because of various reasons – 30% is the uncertainty of life, 30% is family and 40% is YOU. But are you really just 40%? Maybe I’m just fooling myself that you are just 40 well indeed you are something more. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re the only reason why I can’t….

PAHIRAM NA PUSO

PAHIRAM NA PUSO

by Bluecloud

Kung minsan, hindi mo alam kung ano ang mga bagay o mga tao na darating sa buhay mo. Hindi ka sigurado kung anong iyong aabangan. Darating ang panahon na me isang tao na biglang susulpot sa harapan mo at bigla mong pagbibigyan ng panahon at pakikipagkaibigan. Sa bawat sandal na kayo ay magkasama ay walang itago ang kasiyahan. Parang hindi mo na gustong matapos ang araw na iyon. Pakiramdam mo ay nasa langit ka. Para kang ipinaghehele sa magandang saliw ng kanta. Bawat bagay na inyong pagsasaluhan ay ubod ng tamis. Ang mga lugar na pinupuntahan ay puno ng magagandang pangyayari. Bawat paghinga, bawat paglagok, bawat kibot at bawat tibok ng puso ay tanging kasiyahan lang na walang pagsidlan. Punong-puno ng pag-ibig, kasiyahan, pagkakaibigan.

Sa bawat maliit na detalye ng buhay na inyong nalalaman ay unti-unting nahuhulog ang kalooban sa taong ito. Bahagyang nakakaramdam ng ibang kurot sa puso. Para bang ito yata yong tinatawag na pag-ibig. At dahil sa nararamdaman na ito ay buong pusong tatanggapin sa buhay mo ang espesyal na taong ito. Ituturing mo na siyang parte ng puso – isang malaking bahagi ng pagkatao. Ngunit pawang lahat ng kasiyahan ay pahiram lamang. Ang masakit, ang taong nais mo sanang makasama ay hindi pala kailanman magiging sa iyo. Siya ay pinahiram lamang – para muli mong maramdaman ang saya ng buhay, ang ligaya ng pag-ibig. Masakit minsan, pero iyon ang katotohanan. Ang mga taong malalapit sa ating puso ay pawang hiram lamang. Darating ang panahon na kailangan na silang pakawalan – kailangang ibalik. Mahirap ngunit kailangan. Yan ang katotohanan. Sana nga’y wala ng puso na pinapahiram lamang. Masakit sa oras na ito ay kailangan ng isoli. Bakit ganun? Iyan ang hindi ko matanto. Basta ang alam ko habang nasa akin pa ang pahiram na puso, patuloy akong magiging Masaya kahit pa bahagi ng pagkatao ko ay malungkot na nag-aabang ng panahon na mawawala na siya.

YOU ARE MY SANCTUARY

YOU ARE MY SANCTUARY
by Bluecloud


I’m about to fall adrift
In a sober mood as you may see
Almost dropping off
Like a log without a fight

Tears are just but normal
Pain is but ordinary
Hurt is something I’m used too
Death almost inevitable

But then you came along
Saved me from oblivion
Took my hand and held it
So tight keeping me near


Almost done but then you came
Rescued me out of the limbo
Use your body to shield me
Made sure I’ll be safer

You came along when I was down
No ifs no buts, you helped me out
Provided shoulder to cry on
Gentle arms to feel comfort

Constantly lifted my spirits
Always makes me smile
Tickles in a way I like
You never left me, not by a mile

Thanks for coming by
Always making sure I’m okay
You are indeed my sanctuary
Stay forever… please do…

THE HEART IS DESTINED TO BE BROKEN

Nah, I am not being pessimistic rather I am being realistic. The truth is at any cause, our hearts are bound to be broken and shattered into pieces. We just don’t know when, who and how painful it could be. This is one realization that I have as I continuously experience life and its complexities. You will soon wake up and feel all the care and love from the people you would grow too much emotionally attached with. You will dive into the adventure that spells happiness and all the wonderful emotions you could imagine. Savor each one of them as you won’t know when it’s gonna end. Everything in this world is on a lend so just experience them all and as each day moves on try to be prepared. It pays to get ready for the time will surely come. You’ll just wake up one day that the person you love the most isn’t there anymore. You will open your eyes then just hoped that you have not opened them at all coz you’ll realize that person is not within your sights anymore. It’s painful, but remember at least that there was a time that you became happy. It’s just that those times have also their end dates. If only we can change things but we can’t. It seems that our hearts are created for 2 purposes --- to feel the greatness of love and feel the agony of it being broken…

PERFECT LOVE IS RARE INDEED

PERFECT LOVE IS RARE INDEED

by Bluecloud

Lately, i have really come to a realization that true love is truly rare. It is one thing that comes one in a gazillion times. It’s not words of pessimism, it is just the dire reality of things. That’s why when you find that one special one don’t ever pass the chance. One single person who loves needs to have the characteristics of many persons. He/She has be as subtle as the wise men are. But being wise isn’t enough. You also need to have the flexibility of a child-its innocence and even the fact of them being fragile. You should have the sensibility of an artist- seeing pictures on other ways than the usual. Try to grab the understanding of the philosopher and you’ll truly see things in bigger perspectives. One should also be required to have the acceptance of the saint and the tolerance of the scholar for one to have a clear and pure understanding of things around. But nothing of all those mentioned above is enough if you lack a simple thing….. that is the fortitude of the certain. In loving you need to be sure, precise and certain. For once you know it’s real then IT IS REAL.
