With age comes wisdom... I hope so.

Got the photo from Google.com

Six days to go. Six days to go before I turn a new page in my life. I begin to count how many years to go before my age will be not be seen in the days of a calendar (and thank goodness, I still have nine years before saying bye-bye to the calendar days) I am about to celebrate my birthday, and I think something's wrong with me. I am not excited to celebrate it and I don't know what the reason behind it. The days are fast approaching and yet I still don't have a plan how to celebrate it. Don't get me wrong... it's not that I don't want to get another year older. I absolutely love the fact I getting another year older. I also got one of the best presents ever for this year's birthday, but I don't know I feel that it will be just another day.

I happily look back on my previous birthdays: two years ago, there was a very very good surprise birthday gift from my very good friends Carmemeh and Trikzy which was totally unforgettable. And last year there was Joey's 12 midnight surprise which I absolutely loved. Ahhhh... those were the years. =)

I just hope an idea will dawn on me, and maybe hoping for a little surprise (hahaha, just kidding) =p I just want to celebrate it with the people I love, i just don't know how to celebrate it.

If you need me, you know where to find me- in my comfort zone.

Photo from Google.com

It is surprising to me how a little discussion can transform into one huge argument then conclude to a realization- one moment its about us, one moment it becomes an argument about me. You know you. You are somewhat aware of all your positive/good and negative/bad (although you're in denial about them) side. Certainly, talking about this particular negative side is nothing new to me. I know this, I am aware of it, I am not in denial about it- maybe its just I lived with it. Maybe I've just given up, and accepted that its was a part of who I am. Maybe because in my own little world I felt people would accept everything about me, but the bad thing is "Something need to change, especially if its for the better."

This particular argument is definitely a first for me. No one in my entire life pointed out this particular defect in me, you must understand that. It was easy to accept pointing this particular defect, when I'm talking to myself and taking pointers regarding attitudes or habits that I need to change but hearing it from others especially him, it was just tough. Truly, that was one of my definitions of "The truth hurts". This is one for the books, this tops the list on my feeling of insecurity- never felt so bad for myself. Pointing out how its alright to be one of the boys and being grateful for it, but the words after is what really hit me- and baby, it hit me hard- spot on. Sharing insight about it good it would be for me to dress a bit more girly and being a bit more fit and placing a bit more effort to make myself more beautiful and chic looking, to show off the world that you have a chic for a girlfriend and commenting that 90% of the time I just wear a simple shirt and jeans when we go out for a date. Well, most of the people who are close to me know me as a jeans and shirt girl. I believe that a girl or women could and can accentuate her sexiness even if she had just a simple shirt and jeans on her.

Blah blah blah.. after the long phone call arguing about how sitting pretty I was on my comfort zone, thinking so maturely (not in a good way), how opposite we are, me not wanting to explore the adventures that life offers and more defects about myself, a number of realizations came to mind and a lot of lessons learned. Maybe its time to change, and have a total make over.

Lets see, maybe this time around change is good especially its that time again- about to be a year older this month.

Let the adventure of change begin!

I miss.

Holding my hand while you drive. Wrapping your arm on my waist. Hugging me from behind. Just those rare sweet moments of ours. Those times I miss...

Tippy toes and high kicks

Realization # 2: I wish I took ballet and karate classes when I was a kid; when my mom offered too. No harm into adding these two as my talents.

October 12, 2010

Its not regret, its a realization-- nah... its regret.

Realization # 1: Now that I am in the fast paced world filled with career driven people there is one thing I just realized. If only I did better during high school through college; if only I exerted more effort. If only I wasn't that happy go lucky student who was satisfied with mediocrity and getting passing mark; if only I took a specialty in which I was passionate at and took more extra-curricular activities, then it wouldn't be hard surviving in this fast paced world.

I know one must not have regrets in life, but this is one thing I see when I look back in taking this ongoing adventure called life. One day if someone asks me or if my children ask me what was one thing in your past that you wish you could fix, this would be at the top of my list. I'm not asking to be an over-achiever student, I just want much better grades, a few recognitions here and there and not be content with just a passing grade-- that would do. I just wish I did and gave my best while I was still studying.

A for adventure, and A for Aha moment.

For the past few months after I graduated, I've searched for company's to apply for as a writer. A handful called me up for an interview, then the written exam and then... it stops there. All this trying has made me frustrated with myself, and came into terms with myself that maybe I'm not made to be a writer at all. Then suddenly
I have acquired a job, as an online writer for a particular site. It basically leaves me here at home doing a articles. Unfortunately, this past few weeks I'm beginning to feel lazy because of its:

One- low pay one gets and
Two- the long time it takes before you get that pay

Which leads me now to my latest adventure of finding a much better paying job. Recently, I've applied in a number of company's as a content writer and some positions that are not related to being a Mass Communication graduate. I'm even considering working as a call center agent just to get a bigger pay. Working for a call center is my last resort in my job hunting adventure. Before even considering this job, I have to know and hear the opinion of my better half. Well, basically he has a lot of opinions regarding this job since he has worked for a call center. Other reason is I really value his opinion, when he gives me insights regarding life or some basic decisions which I have difficulty deciding on.

For the mean time... I've been doing all the cleaning, cooking, groceries and laundry chores here at home and some menial tasks for my mother ever since our long time house help for she has found other ventures for her to save for her son's future. In the process of doing these tasks, I've realized that its not an easy job to do on the contrary it's very tiring and it takes a lot of your time. In doing these task, I have learned how to budget money and time and how to prioritize. In the process of doing these things I've realized somethings, questions came to mind like:

"What if time and money permits me and my beloved to live with one another under one roof before marriage (and absolutely we couldn't afford house help), then I would have to do all of those chores tied in with my work?"

And when we enter into marriage and the possibility of having kids and not having house help, "Then I would have to do all of those chores, tied in with: my work, kids, making my future hubby happy and maintain my beauty and figure for my sake and for my hubby's sake?"

Oh my gosh, my realizations are bizarre. But with all those questions and my previous conversations with my beloved regarding this topic I have realized one thing: Sacrifice is an essential in life.

This my first attempt to try Joey's recipe of Chicken Curry. I was surprised with the outcome because it was really good and spicy, even though I didn't get the thickness of the sauce but still it was pretty darn good.

So good that if tasted the Chicken Curry, Joey wouldn't leave me (hahaha! =) ) So in case any of you are interested to try this recipe here's what you need.

1 half casserole Gata
Lots of Curry Powder (ahmed's and local curry)

1 tablespoon of Finely Chopped Garlic

Procedure:

Heat saucepan in medium heat and saute garlic and ginger slices. Add Chicken. Stir fry for a bit. Add Curry Powder (Ahmed's). Add kakang gata. Simmer for 10 - 15 mins or until it reduces. Add Gata. Add 6 crushed potatoes. Add onion. Add the rest of the potatoes and basil leaves. Simmer until it reduces (until the sauce thickens). Don't forget to add salt and pepper to taste.

Prevention is better than cure.

Photo: Goggle.com

Every Sunday I never fail to read the opinion section of Patricia Evangelista. I truly admire her; the way she writes and I agree with some of the opinions she expresses. On today's issue she discusses sex education on the younger ones (http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20100605-274072/The-Republic-of-Love). This is one of the issues I personally advocate. I believe that this one topic that shouldn't be left alone for the parents to discuss to their children.

It discusses the Church's dismay on the Department of Education's proposal on teaching sex education to children starting from the 5th grade. I understand them, even I wouldn't want today's generation of kids to be having sex with different men or women all the time just because they know what will protect them from getting into a sticky situation. On the contrary, not educating today's kids little by little may result to a number of problems such as: the extreme growth of our population, increased number of cases relating to sexual diseases. They (Church) say that there is a proper time to teach them this issue, but it is a known factor to everyone that due to poverty some of the kids don't even reach high school. They say there is a right age to teach them, tell me when is the right age? When even 14 year-old's or even younger conceive babies already. The point of educating is awareness and as the grading level goes higher, a more in-depth discussion will be taught to children. Starting with letting the child understand the human body, and it goes in-depth as their grading level gets higher. Its not like the school will be teaching 5th graders the different types of contraceptives and how to use them, there are appropriate topics for each grading level. I don't see anything wrong with educating these kids with this kind of issues, lets not shelter these kids.

Let's face it, we are already living in a world wherein the children are exposed to the wonders and dangers of media. I admit, even I a graduate of Mass Communication sees these dangers in exposing the little ones to media. Children these days are not sheltered. Whether the Church or the overly conservative and closed-minded parents want to shelter their child's minds and preserve their innocence, I believe it would be quite hard and impossible for them to do such. Yes, you may monitor your child's television and internet habits or even remove them from their homes, but not everybody's like them. As they step out of the house to go to school, they are exposed to different types of people. They see and meet different kinds of people, some of them openly talking about sex. A child passes by news stands and sees tabloids with headlines like "6 year old molested by uncle". The point of this proposal of the Department of Education is "Prevention through awareness". Letting them be aware of their bodies, what are the body parts wherein no body must not touch, what are their bodies capable of to prevent something that is way beyond anyone's control.

Bon Appetit!

* This is most certainly one of my favorite films ( I love movies that are cooking themed.) I've seen this film a number of times for it brings a certain happiness in me (plus it was shot at Paris, another place I would love to visit). : ) Watching this film awhile ago for the nth time and it gave me an idea. Time to use my cookbooks, brush up my cooking skills and start posting the recipes I've tried. : ) Definitely putting some thought to it. : )

To show you that I am so proud of you.



* So proud of Joey! : ) He's having his OJT at People's Journal Tonight, and he was able to publish his first article on his first day on the job (they misspelled his last name though). Galing ng love ko! :)

Could HB 17 be the solution? by Bb. Oria

All of a sudden just when we turned a new leaf and started the year 2010, the Philippines experienced a sudden growth of victims who have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This kind of illness is nothing new here in our country since the Philippines has encountered its first ever case in the year 1984. Having unprotected sex and having multiple partners are one of the causes of this particular condition. Just recently I’ve read and seen news reports about the Department of Health (DOH) have been distributing condoms to the public especially during the love month and the Catholic Church’s wanting to ban commercials of condoms. These particular issues made me want to write about the Reproductive Health Bill.


The proposed House Bill (HB) 17: “Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008” by authored by Representative Filemon “Popoy” Lagman. The proposition of this is bill is to inform parents who have children or planning to have children regarding both natural and modern family planning methods which are medically safe and legally acceptable and have access to it. This allows an environment wherein women and couples are given the freedom of informed choices regarding modes of family planning that they would like to take on, on the basis of their needs, and their personal and religious beliefs. A lot of fuzz surrounds this bill for the reason of the Church’s opposition and they’re unfavorably use of artificial contraceptives. According to the reports I’ve read on the Internet the representative of the 1st district of Albay continually states that “The bill does not have any bias for or against either natural or modern family planning. Both modes are contraceptive methods with a common purpose of preventing pregnancies.”


Though this bill present some drawbacks such as: the favorability of using birth control measures which are opposed by the religious and ethical groups and its directive to sex education which a lot of parents are against it just to name a few. On the positive side the bill offers maternal, infant and child health and nutrition care, promotion of breastfeeding, elimination of violation against women, prevention of abortion and prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.


I think that the Reproductive Health Bill would be a big help to our country especially our economy. Why? With the continuous growth of our population that would equate to a huge budget for our country that would be borrowed and in return turned as taxes, taxes even my great grand children would still have to pay. With the lack of classrooms, lack of teachers and proper salaries for them too, and lack of school buildings in the public sector: How would these future children be properly educated? It would be good if every Filipino citizen could pay for private school education but, a huge part of our population could not afford that. I t would be also great if this huge part of our population can afford to have their check-up, treatment in case of ailments and the like in a private hospital but the sad reality is, they cannot. With the high prices of doctor’s fees, hospital fees and a whole lot of fees, a Filipino who belongs to the Class C and D cannot afford to give out a lot of money for that. With the lack of facilities, proper health centers, proper salaries for the doctors and nurses: How would the parents of these children and even themselves as well, be given the proper health care? Our government not giving the proper attention and budget to the agriculture sector and now that our country is experiencing a terrible climate condition and with the continuous rising of prices on commodities and food products: How would these families feed themselves and their children if there would be a continuous growth in our population?


This would not be a problem if the government is giving the proper attention and budget is given to the following sectors and the sectors I forgot to mention. This would not be a problem if the budget allocated for them is received by those people who need it and not straight into the pockets of the corrupt public official. A reproductive health bill would not be necessary if people today would not a stray and follow what must be followed and practice responsible sex but, in today’s society an alarmingly growth of teens do deed outside marriage, the lack of well-educated and responsible people to guide them and the high influences of their friends and the easy accessed media I think it would be hard for today’s society to practice responsible and well-protected intercourse.


I think it would be only right to pass the proposed House Bill 17: “Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008” because it would be for the betterment of our society, economy and most especially our country.

12 journalists laid to rest, their search for justice continues by Bb. Oria

General Santos City is known as the tuna capital of the Philippines and the home of people’s champ Manny Pacquiao but is not known to all that this is also the burial site of the 12 journalists who were killed in the tragic Maguindanao massacre.


Before proceeding to Forest Lake Cemetery were the 12 journalists were buried we first bought flowers, to serve as offerings and as a little something so they will in a way remember us. Picking flowers for them was a little bit hard for me because I want to leave behind a little piece of me, and t the end I chose flowers which bear my favorite color.


Upon our arrival at Forest Lake Cemetery it was so serene, so calm but when I stood and was faced with the 12 tomb stones of the 12 journalists, chills ran down my spine. I was neither terrified nor afraid, but something made me stood still before placing the flowers upon their grave. After placing flowers on each and every grave, I had this heavy feeling in my heart a feeling that these people deserve justice and I know in my heart they will get it. I felt so sad for those people they left behind especially their children, significant other, their parents and friends. I was especially moved when I saw a very young girl who was asked by her relatives to say good-bye and I love you to her mother in her cutest voice, it was so heart-breaking.


As I stood aside and watched my fellow classmates taking photographs of the tomb stone, in my mind I was talking to them. I was telling them how much respect I have for them and from then on I will always say a little prayer for them. It was good that we were able to pay our respects to those journalists who have passed on, dropping by before leaving for Manila gave me as sense that being a journalist is truly a calling for one must be aware that there are a lot of risks and one must be brave and tough enough to face them.

He wrote this for me.

The first time I met you, I thought, "Wow...she has a really beautiful smile."
The second time we met, I could hardly breathe and was really scared to say something, anything.
When we went out on our first date, our eyes spoke.
On our second date, I realized that I'd do anything for you. Even wait until my heart dies.
When you made me the best dinner that anyone other than my parents made me...you made my mind scatter and my heart fall.
Last night...was the best I've ever had. It was the first time I spent time with a girl and all we did was talk, smile, laugh, hug, and kiss. When we stared at each others' eyes, I could see how much I meant to you, and you saw how happy I was with you.

My Sakura, cherry blossom of my now completed heart...I love you so much. From the darkness that resides in my innermost being, you burned ever so brightly with your pale white light, your sweet petals caressed the cracked surface of my thoughts.
You made me whole again...
You made me live again.

I love you very much Beatrize Blanche Oria.

My entire heart and being..only belongs to you.

When I looked in your eyes, I saw a life I've always wanted to be a part of.

My heart only sings for you, and you alone.

Forever your Syaoran,
Joey

Christmas' 09

To a simple girl who changed my life.

6th monthsary

Life with you so far has been extraordinary. The love you gave me has been enough to last me a thousand lifetimes. I love you.

Words that have touched my heart, my life, my being.

- You don't just make me feel. You made me live. I always thought that lived a colorful life. But since knowing you and spending time with you.. I realized how much my life could be.

- Let's see what happens.. what doesn't together we'll make it happen.

- You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

- You always make my heart sing.. a haunting song memory of a song in which only you can ever turn into reality.

- You are the greatest girl.. the best one I've ever spent time with.. I just want my mom to meet that girl.

- My thoughts and dreams are always of you. I love you.

- I'm always my happiest with you, my Sakura.

- How can I be not ok when I have you in my life?

- I honestly don't know.. but I'm willing to do anything.. so I could have a chance of sharing a life with you. I know I'm not perfect.. and we will have our up's and downs. but.. there's no one else I'd rather want to love, cherish, and spend time with no matter what storms come.. but you.

- I love you. =) Every single minute of every fleeting moment of my life is spent thinking about you. Of staring into your beautiful eyes that drowns me in your love.

- You are my heart. My shining star. You are my better half. The heart of my heart. The spirit of my soul. The love of my every being.

- The moon that shines in the darkest night can never even compare to your beauty. Even the desert in my mind fades in the radiance of your beauty, my pale white flower. My soul longs for you, 'till the day I die.

- Empress ko, the dragon emperor bows to no one except to the empress of his heart. The reason for his existence.

- My heart may be manly, but it will always belong to you.

- You are the only person who changed my life.

- You are God's greatest gift to me.

- My life is yours.

- Nothing I have compares to you.

- Thank you for being the light of my life. The heart of my heart. I loved you the first time I saw you. I love you more now and I'll love you forever. There can be no goodbyes, only love. Finally, and forever.

- You deserve only the best.

- I may not be always beside you but my heart and mind would always be.

- You are my happiness.

- And I am the happiest man, that you were able to love me as much as you do. I've waited years for you, and now that I have you all I see is forever.

- My life has never been the same since I met you.

- My heart is screaming out your name. My mind is falling into pieces without you near me.

- You are the only one for me. All the days I spent with you, no words could ever describe what you mean to me, I love you so much. =)

- Your love is the best thing you ever gave to me.

- Every time I see you, I keep falling all over again.

- Don't worry, in time our wishes will come true.

- Love of my life, heart of my heart. My life is empty without you beside me. Any achievements I have pales in comparison to what I feel whenever you are near me. Every part of my body, every crevice of my soul longs to hear your voice, feel your touch, just to be beside you.. Always. I love you Beatrize Blanche, my bb, my Sakura, the empress of my heart. I hope na ok ka lang diyan and I pray that you'd always be safe whevever you are not in my arms, protected and safe. I miss you so much. Always remember that my heart is always with you.

- The dew that comes during the morning saturates everything in its path. Glistening, shimmering. But not even it can compare to the miracle of beauty that is you. I love you Beatrize Blanche of both Oria and Averia, I love you with all that is within me. I love you with all that defines me, and I will always love you until I cease to exist. Morning Sakura, my love. =)

- Every breath that I take is only meant for you.

- I'm so glad that I found you, kala ko hindi na kita mahahanap. =)

- Ingat ka Sakura ha? Pag may nangyari sayo hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupulutin.. mabubuhay pa kaya ako? Eh na sayo puso ko eh.

- How could you ruin my day? When every highlight of my day is my thought of you.

- And that makes me happy. =) I wouldn't want to imagine a life without you.

- You do see yourself in my eyes. As beautiful as the sun. I love you with the intensity of life in perpetual motion. When I look at you my mind goes blank. My heart sings. What you see is me, in love with you with the very essence of who I am.

- My heart will always be yours.

- I'd love you forever.

- That's because you are, and more. You are the sun that blinds me in its morning light, the moon the bathes me in its serene glow, the rain that soaks me with cold, the blanket that covers me with warmth, the mountain that shadows, the sea that grows, the sky that catches me every time I fall. The love that's with me, forevermore.

- I love the way your hair smells. The way you eyes shine when you talk. The way your mouth moves when you smile. The way your arms wrap around me when you missed me. The way you move when you walk. I love you Beatrize Blanche Oria. =)

- Heart of my heart, love of my life. Know that I love you with all that I am, good night my sweet cherry blossoms. May your dreams be as sweet as you beauty, as captivating as your love.

- Hirap magconsentrate especially when I remember how beautiful you are to me.

- My heart is yours.

- You, me, 2 tickets to anywhere in the world. Unlimited spending money, 2 full frame cameras with plethora of lenses, and permits to go go shoot anywhere we like that my dear would make my day. What would make it perfect though, is only you.

- I miss you. The rain reflects how much I do. The sky darkens at the thought of you not being with me. The wind whispers your name. The trees dances and weaves in the music that the wind sings. My heart soars at the thought of seeing you. I miss you Beatrize Oria with every beat of my heart. I miss you witth every minute that passes. I miss you with every thought that passes through my mind. I miss you every second, everyday. I miss you with every drop of rain. I miss you now, and I'll continue to miss you every time you're not here.

- Dates, dates, dates. You were introduced to me by your cousin who is a friend. You smiled and I was smitten. I asked for your number and when you gave it to me I was stunned. We went out and had fun, and then I knew. At last, I've met you. Like as I might to fill this comment box with our memories, but I won't be able to. Because although we haven't been together that long yet, I know that every memory we make is etched in eternity. Yours and mine. For an entire lifetime. A single thought if an infinite moment in time, all come together in a plethora of fleeting memories of smiles and frowns, of up's and downs, of you, of me, of us. I love you. =)

- Stop. If you say you're sorry and hindi na to mauulit then I believe you because I love you.

- I love every thing about you my love. =)

- I want you to be happy.

- I love you more than more.

- You are every breath I take and you're also the one who takes my breath away. The sunlight and rain, sweeps me away. I love you, so much so that no storms can ever keep me away. =)

- Anything made by a beauty, is a beauty.

- I love you. =) Everything I have, everything I know, everything I see cannot compare to you.

- 'Coz you make me love you more and more each day. =)

- Magaling ka talaga. =) Hindi kasi dahil mahal kita, kundi kaya mahal kita. =)

- Eto. Namimiss ka, iniisip ka, minanahal ka, and everything that involves me loving you even more and more each moment that passes. =)

- Wala akong time eh, I'd rather spend it with you.

- How do I love thee? I love thee with the intensity of a thousand suns. I love thee with the seconds of an infinite lifetime. I love thee with every breath. I love thee with every step. I love thee with heary. I love thee with each and every part. Morning love. =)

- As the storm passes, the skies get a little clearer, the sun a little brighter, the wind a little calmer. A beautiful somber scene that only nature can create. Yet none of it compares to you. A smile, a kiss, a hug. A scene that only be described as exquisite, that only you can give.

- A fraction of a second na wala ka, torture.

- Nagssmile naman ako eh, kasi alam kong nanjan ka. Konting lambing mo lang, masaya na ko.

- Para mahalin ka ng buong puso. Para samahan ka sa hirap at ginhawa. Para pagmasdan ang kagandahan at kasexyah mo. Para alagaan ka sa tuwina. Para ipadama sayo na ikaw ang pinakaimportante sa buhay ko.

- Nightmares are our body's way of telling us to wake-up from a dream. But what good can it do when you're already living your dream? Nightmares are lies that our mind makes to blind us from the truth. And the truth is.. I love you so much my bb. =)

- I'm home na din, in your heart.

- You say that I don't write you letters, but how could I? When all the words I know pale in significance to what you really mean to me? How can a single word like love describe the breadth of emotions that I feel? Nothing. No one. Just you. =)

- I'm so lucky I have you. =) I love you. =)

- I'd give everything I have just to bask in your radiance even for just a moment =)

- Blank kasi ang blank ng buhay ko pag wala ka. =)

- You always never fail to make me smile.

- My life wouldn't be the same without you. =)

- I love everthing about you. =) You brought out the best in me and I'm thankful that I found you. Ever since I met you, you brought life in my otherwise lifeless heart. I love you. =)

- My life would be in color without you. Thank you for making my life black and white. =)

- I just wanted you to know that I am so proud of you. From the moment I first met you, I knew you were brilliant. Since then that brilliance blinded me with such intensity that I fell in love with you every moment of each passing day. A thousand times more brilliant than the brightest star, incomparable to anything I can think of. That same brilliance will shine with you today, and though I may not be there to watch it, my heart (which has been with you from the moment you stole it from me, of course after you fell for me the very first second you saw me =p), sees what my eyes don't. I'm so proud of you my love, my pale white cherry blossom empress, love of my life, heart of my heart. I love you so much. =)

- Love ko talaga. =) Ginagawa ko lahat yun kasi love kita. =)

- Masaya din ako kasama ka. =) Kahit na corny panoorin natin, kahit boring pupuntahan natin basta kasama kita, masaya na. =) I love you too. =)

- Morning my Sakura, my pale white flower, love of my life, heart of my heart. As I watch the sun's rays fall on the window of this cold dreary room, I realize that I would be as cold and dreary as this room without your smile bathing me in its warm glowing light. I miss you. =) I love you. =) Good morning. =)

- I'll never be too busy for you. =)

- I miss the way you smile, when you look at me with those beautiful eyes. I miss the way you laugh... the way you tickle my belly. I miss the way we talk... the way we smile because of the past, the way we dream of tomorrow.

- I love you. =) I envy for the clouds have you in their embrace and I don't. But surely they envy me because your smile always embraces me in ethereal arms... something that they don't. =)

- I love you. No word can ever say how much I do. =)

- Are the trees really green and the skies really blue? What is reality when my fantasies came true...? What is fantasy when my reality is you? =)

- It all started with a glance... an introduction that changed my life with a single smile. An unseeming date that not only stole my breath but also filled my heart with longing... and there it was, yet again, another smile. One smile to melt my heart, and another to make it shine. I love you Beatrize Blanche Oria... more so when you became mine. Belated happy anniversary my sakura.. =) thank you for making me happy.

- Every day I'm faced with disappointments and regrets..of things I did not do or say. But all I know is that these three words always get me through: I. Love. You.


- Joey.
