To the woman I will love someday

I have read this letter from a friend posted in a facebook note. I was so inspired and reposted it. This letter was about a man writing a love letter to the woman whom he'll be loving someday. This letter contains such perfect words describing how a man being so inlove with her woman. Please take time to read and I hope you get some idea....",)

Dear You,

I will admit that it came as a surprise to me when you decided to write a letter such as this. I always thought you were the type to keep things to yourself—one of the many things that keep us apart until now.

There is a part of every boy's heart that dreams of his princess. However, no matter what the age, this princess does not change.
Nineteen years into this life, and although your unwillingness to give your heart away is what troubles you, what troubles me is how willing I am each and every time to give my complete heart and yet there is no one to receive anything of me.

Try as I might to give my heart to someone I had imagined was perfect, and I end up putting the pieces back together, mustering the courage to make it seems like nothing is wrong and nothing has been lost, when in fact, everything in my life at that point feels otherwise.

Although I have only known you for a few years, I am as confident as a man in love can be, that you are the perfect girl I have been thinking of ever since. Nineteen years into this life, and we are both still apparently waiting... for someone to be swept off her feet, and for someone to sweep you off yours. And yet, here we are closer to each other than you would expect.

I am sorry I took this long. But, I hope you know, it has not been entirely easy, trying to whisk you off to my palace on horseback. I am not alone in this pursuit of your love and I have no palace to show you in comparison to the many other men who will try to win your heart. You have not been entirely cooperative as well, but I do not blame you for this. In fact, it's just one of the many quirks that sets you apart from other girls out there.

You will be disappointed to know that it has not been such a fairytale - meeting me, and for this I will be eternally sorry. I hope you know guys spend more than enough time trying to come up with the perfect introduction, what with sweaty palms and a shaky voice. As to the extreme disappointment I may cause you, I also hope you know that you are still as perfect in my eyes as always. I may not have begun it as a fairytale for us, but I will go through leaps and bounds to make you feel like the princess that you are.
Your eccentricities are what I love about you. Even during your occasional mood swings, it is the most endearing thing to see you shift gears. Although I must admit, sometimes it can be quite confusing; keeping me on my toes, it just makes me want to be with you even more. I want to be the man you stand beside at your best and your worst—because either way, you are still too beautiful, and I would be nothing less than the luckiest guy in town if you were just as happy as I was, standing beside you.

You are and will always be my best friend, even if one day I end up finding no more shirts because you have borrowed them all. And when you return them I end up not wearing them, still, because the scent is there to remind me of you even when you are not around. You are my best friend because you look out for me, after a stressful day, or after we lose a game of basketball. Even during times when you refuse to speak to anyone, me included—you are still my best friend.

You will be the girl I try so hard to cook for, and despite my best efforts I know I will fail, but I will love how you will try to taste my concoctions, even when the taste might make you cringe. You will be the girl whose mom I will try so hard to impress, and then you will fix my collar in hopes that I am ready to meet your parents. Adventure after adventure, you will be the girl I will see the world with, complete with the local cuisine taste and souvenir shots.

You are the girl I will smile to even in the worst of times. Even when the day feels like s__t, I know that when I see you that my world cannot be so bad if you are beside me. You are the girl whose smile I will wake up to, even when some mornings might find me with a slight case of morning breath. I cannot wait to love you.

Fingers crossed and palms held together, I hope one day you will find me worthy of your heart. In the meantime, know that I am out here somewhere, waiting for you, hoping that you will be mine.

Loving you forever and a day,
Me

What we do in LIFE echoes in ETERNITY

While browsing facebook, I saw this line (What we do in life echoes in eternity) in one of the status post to one of my friends in Facebook. The line came from a famous movie Gladiator. At first, I never got the interest to read it again but something was getting into my mind that I have to write this blog in relation to it.


Last week, I accidentally joined my officemates together with one of the Top personalities in our company. He offered us a coffee in a coffee shop near the office, his treat. This manager has a reputation of too strict and inconsiderate to the majority of people in our company. Probably because of how strict he transact with people. He aims for perfection but upon noticing him, he is not getting it, but he gets the opposite of it.


The time I got hired in our company, I seemingly getting a little bit of information or background of this person I am referring to. He grew up in a military dad, strict and perfectionist family. No doubt about it because you'll notice him acting snappy and strict to his people. It also came to my information about his partner's incapability of getting pregnant. For so long, they've been trying and trying but nothing positive is coming. Until the time they've given up and just enjoyed being together. He is a good provider according to him coz he provides every need of his wife. Shopping, travel, big house, everything, name it and he can give it. He is considerable as blessed with all the material things in this life has to offer.


But while he is conversing with us, he told us that it is not easy to have everything you need and want but not having a child. He longs to have one but he and his wife knows that it'll be impossible unless they'll go adopting a child. It doesn't interests him because according to him, he doesn't know where and what background does this child will be coming from. 


To continue, he just decided to be in his strict and perfectionist personality, not noticing sometimes he hits the emotional aspect of the person he is shouting to or nagging to. Probably as a result of what his status right now, he'll just remain as strong, hard and unapproachable person so to speak. Even if he chose to be what he is right now, I still can see emotions in his personality. He needs something badly that he could not get it even if he has a lot of money. He needs something that can satisfy his hard work after a long day in the office. He needs someone who can be his "barkada" when he became old and get sick. 


How does this relate to the line up above? In my point of view and opinion, the incapabilities and the weaknesses we have doesn't matter on how we get along with people. What a person like him is doing right now will have a consequence in eternity. Along the way, while he is acting a negative actions, he projects an unrespectable personality. He earns a negative view of what he really is. 


What we are doing right now, either it is good and acceptable to people or bad and unacceptable to people will have an immediate corresponding bounce-backing to us. According to the bible, what you sow, you reap. Our actions should be sensitive enough to what result it can deliver in the future. Either someone hits you so bad or someone greeted you so nice, it is all up to what we are expecting in return. If we want a smooth, nice and great future let's do some smooth, nice and great actions today for if we do some inconsiderable, bad and unacceptable things today, expect an inconsiderable, bad and unacceptable things in the future. May it be in the same situation or it can be on another aspect of your life. 


Everyone goes through a lot of things in this life, honestly, most of it are unacceptable and hurtful. No one lives in this earth without hurts or pain, everyone goes through it. But you know what can set you apart from the whole world of hurts, pains and disappointments? It's your ATTITUDE towards those hurtful situations. What kind of attitude we are expressing when we experience unacceptable things? Is is the same unacceptable one that's why we reap an unacceptable and hurtful ones as well? Or we plant positive to the negative that's why it is more likely to produce positivity? You decide, it is your life. 


God loves us so much to be negative everyday of our lives. He loves us so much to give us a choice of beautiful tomorrow. It is just us, we just have to choose and we just have to choose life over death, positive over negative, happiness over hurts and pain. It's in our decision to be what we would want to be in the future. He loves us and what ever happens, good or bad, He will not forsake us nor leave us...

My first blog

It's a Friday night and nothing to do in my apartment. Tired of watching negative news on television and all that dramatic telenovelas in primetime t.v. channels. After having a nice dinner chatting with my uncle and cousin, I had an urge of writing something from within and first thought that came into my mind is creating my own blog. Since I am fond of posting some emotionally serious statements in either facebook or twitter, what if I put everything in a blog. But this blog will not be as serious at all.  


The first title of the blog I am thinking of making is about loneliness because probably it's what I am feeling the past few days. But digging deeper to what i am planning to write, I said to myself that I am not always lonely, it's just a present feeling that in time will surely be fading away. So I've decided to make my first blog about living a true life and loving it.


Living Life Loving Life


Back when I was in primary, I see life as easy. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I excel. Sometimes I am happy and sometimes I'm not. I am the eldest of 2 male siblings and every additional year in my age changes my thoughts on life. It changes from a perspective of easiness to something serious. Especially when my father died an illness when I was about to be in 6th grade. It made a huge impact especially to my mother, my brother and I never thought, eventually to me.


That chapter of my life probably made a big contribution to what my life is about today. How I am living it and sometime loving it. Everything will be posted in this site. Everything that pertains to life and everything that pertains to how individuals like me passed through everything about it. May it be a happier one or a lonely one. I am not saying I have gone through enough to be an example to everyone but I can say that everyone has gone through something in their lives to share something to everyone.


This is life, this is how we deal on it, this is how we are loving it!
