I Was Raised, I Didn't Just Grow Up

I was also taught to treat people the way I want to be treated!"

Dissected

THAT FEELING when you got shot in the heart and your veins raptures.. dissected into pieces, strip by strip, in silence you scream. Your eyes left wide shut after seeing the things that was left meant to be unseen.. the truth that you have been deprived off for so long. 

When you dive into an "unwanted pond", it's either you "swim" harder or you're going to sink... make sure you leave no "trace" so there will be no evidence.

I will learn to SWIM back than lose myself.

Morning is the beginning of a new day where people is ideally energetic and full of positive thoughts. Starting the day right keeps you on the mood, to be productive and active for the rest of the day.

Oh well, this ofcourse doesn't apply to all. Mornings can be a nightmare extension for some people, especially when Monday morning comes. Everybody hates Monday, or if not.. 'most' people dislike it. Who wouldn't? Monday is a one big slap reminder that weekends are over and you can't do anything but to get your ass up because it's the start of another week at school or at work. A prison-week for some to be stuck-up in school pretending to be friends with physics or algebra and a hell-like-type of week for guys like me who's feeling like a cyborg forced to work multi-task in a mothership filled with aliens who knows nothing best but to complain.

All couples run into relationship issues no matter how little or big the reasons are. It's the odd couple that doesn't run into a few bumps along the road. If you happen to recognize ahead of time what those relationship problems or issues might be, you'll have a much better chance of getting to resolved it and past them.

All relationship problems stem from poor communication skills and from our own fear or pain which we commonly denies. We should understand that couples consist of two individuals that are actually different from each other. If we want some changes, we can only do so to ourselves because we can never change our partners way. What we can only do is meet on a common grounds and have mutual adjustments.

Keeping respect and honoring each other is one important factor aside from the love or feelings alone. For love without respect is something not worth to keep or lasts. Saying I Love you is not enough to make the relationships rolling, we should equate it with actions to express ourselves. And when we do express ourselves, we shouldn't expect more from our partner's ends. The best thing we could do is give what we want to get and expect less so we won't end up being disappointed.

My Once Upon A Time

I've always been afraid of losing people that I cherish so much.. so I exert miles of efforts to care too much, to give more than I could, to understand more than any one could, to appreciate little things worthless to others, to compensate others missing part, to be the wall to lean on, to extend shoulders to cry on, to love so deeply inspite of being hated back, to stand up when being stomped over and over, to stick around when you are being pushed away.. and to even hold the hands that have been holding tightly to others.

Caught up in a unknown universe, hanging out with old time friends. Sharing old stories, laughters, beers, foods. Savouring the old school moment of being w/ old time folks, It was no ordinary day, it was somehow magical. Standing in a crowded room when that first gazed came up and that certain little universe became suspended and the first few words uttered were… “So ikaw pla un!” And from then on… smile never leaves thy face, it became a known-wishful companion.

"You can’t change everything in one night.. but one night can change everything."

Guarded by walls, it was never an easy start. You needed someone to talk with and somewhere to rest emotionally as you had just been drove into a circles.
