Only Once

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life and will stay with you till the end.”

The Art of Letting Go

It's over. H'es gone.

Why do we have to part while

the love is still there?

Why do we have to suffer?

Why do we have to cry when 

someone buds goodbye?

Why do beginnings have an end?

Why do we have to meet

only to lose in the end?There are questions left unanswered,

words left unsaid, letters left unread,

poems left undone, songs left unsung,

loved left unexpressed,

promises left unfulfilled.

In a relationship,

one of the hardest things to do

is saying goodbye and letting go.

It is as hard as breaking a crystal

because you'll never know when you

will be able to pick up the pieces again.

More often than not, they who go,

feel not the pain of parting:

it is they who stay behnd that suffer,

because they are left

with memories of love

that was meant to be,

a love that was.

At the beginning oand at the end

of a relationship,

we aere embarrassed to find ourselves alone.

Unfair as it may seem,

but that's the way lvoe goes.

That's the drama, the bittersweet

and the risk of falling in love.

After all, noting is constant but change.

Everything will eventually come to it's end

without us knowning when,

without us knowing how,

without us knowing why.

And we must forget not because we have to

but because we have to.

In letting go, sorrows come

not a single spy but in batallion.

It seems that everywhere you go,

everything you do,

every song you hear,

every turn of your head,

every move of your body,

every beat of you heart,

every blink of your eye and every breath

you take always reminds you of him.

It's like a stab of a knife,

a torture in the night.

Funny how the whole world 

becomes depopulated

when only one person is missing.

Just imagine,

there are a billion people on earth

and yet it seems you feel lonely

and empty without the other.

I dont know if it's worth calling an art,

but letting go entails

special skills sparkled

with a considerable space and time.

Time heals all wounds but it takes

a little push on out part.

Acceptance plays a part.

Not all love stories end with

"...and they lived happily ever after."

Sometimes we have to part because of

circumstances beyond our control.

We have to suffer if it would

mean happiness for others.

We have to cry to

temporarily let go of the pains.

Every beginning has its end 

like every dawn has its dusk.

It's something we can't control,

something we had to live up.

It"s over.

H'es gone. But life has to go on.

Goodbye doesn't always mean forever.

There will be a place and time 

where questions will be answered,

words will be spoken.

letters will be read,

poems will be recited in the night,

songs will be sung in harmony,

love will be expressed in solitude and

promises will be fulfilled.

Somewhere. Somehow. Someday.

I cried today, 

not because I miss you

 or even wanted you, 

but because I finally realized

 I'm gonna be 

alright without you.

nonsense day

Today's weather is a little colder, aside from a fully iced-cold office the weather outside seems dark...this makes me feel so sleepy the rest of the afternoon. I even got an allergic reaction from my lunch, probably the Lapu-Lapu is not fresh anymore. :( Thus, had to take one tablet of Celestamine..and tadah...am so drowsy already... can't work really well and so i had to take a break and a bite of this...

MAGNUM...the ice cream that has been out-of -stock for months and was selling like hotcakes before and now, you can find it anywhere without exerting too much effort in falling in lines and reservations...

Damn with diet, damn with calories, damn with fats...am gonna eat it...after eating all the three flavors then am gonna end eating them also... what's so special? the PRICE (Php50.00) and the stick with a name on it and the cover.... but it took a little of my drowsiness and headache...


time check: time to go home and sleep...

COLOUR

(A popular dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk

 to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits,

and served in a tall glass or bowl.)

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

Photo A Day 1: Reflection

REFLECTION

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight, back at me

Why is my reflection someone I don't know

Somehow I cannot hide, who I am

Though I've tried.

When will my reflection show who I am inside.

Photo A Day

Since April is the start of summer here, this month should be a FUN-FILLED MONTH for me. So, i'm off for a CHALLENGE this month... Fat Mum Slim Photo A Day Challenge... 

I so love taking pictures with my camera, so I hope I can make better ideas for this. 

So here it is...dyaraaann...

C'mon, let's all have fun!

embarassing email

this afternoon I had the most embarrassing email sent to our President's secretary... she asked me to email her the pictures she took during one of the school's event. so i compose the email, attached the files, chose the pics using the thumbnails view and voila...sent it! but then the camera has too many pics and google allows me to attached atleast 7 files so i find it too hard to look and scroll for the pics again. all i did was check the last three numbers of the pics and highlighted it and send. 


until i remembered to re-check what i sent thru the sent mail item and boom! it was personal pics and students out of nowhere pics...*sigh* am so embarrassed but what can I do? 


Lesson of the day:
Check before hitting "ENTER" key..:D

a wedding a day

makes me a star for a day...

I think the color suits me, the hair is kinda ok and make-up is simple... saw that the make-up artist uses Nars product... 


it was a one special day for all of us... happy wedding eric and cherry..

my wedding speech

Just wanted to share my speech during my friend's wedding... it was such a nice wedding... so perfect...

                                 ======================

Good Evening Everyone!

For those of you who don¹t know me, I¹m Claire... Cherry’s friend.

Before I forget, Che, I just want to tell you how honored I am today to stand by your side on this special day. On behalf of the bridesmaids and myself I want to say how beautiful and radiant you look, it¹s been a special day for all of us.

When Cherry asked me to be her maid of honor I felt delighted but when she informed me that I would be doing a speech, I admit I got nervous but anyway thank you to whoever invented this rostrum then I can hide my copy.

Cherry and I have been friends for 11 years and have been room mates too when she was still working in Gensan. So I really have a huge library of stories to spill that will surely spice up your ears. Unfortunately, I am not going to tell them here because 

1. we''ve only got this place til midnight and 

2. According to the book of etiquette, states that the maid of honor should NOT, under ANY circumstances, roast the bride.

So I guess, I better give some marriage advice then

1.  Whenever you’re wrong, admit it. Whenever you’re right, just shut up

2. The best way to remember an anniversary is to forget it just once.

3.  If you’re clever, you’ll always have the last word. However, if you’re really clever you won’t use it.

4.  A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes.

5. A happy wife is a happy life.

And most importantly, this one really works for Cherry personally "No, honey, you do NOT look fat in that outfit!"

And before I get into any trouble, Seriously though, Cherry is a beautiful person inside and out. I’ve had the pleasure of being Cherry’s friend for many years and I will always cherish the wonderful times I’ve spent with her.

Che, I want you to know that you’re like a sister to me and I love you very much. You’ve always been there for me and I hope our friendship only flourishes in the years to come. you are the definition of a true friend and because of you, I gained another beautiful friendship with your "husband" Eric.

The only request that I have to Eric is to make sure that Chery is happy throughout your married life and I am sure that Cherry would take care of you by providing you with the fullest of her love throughout her life.

Congratulations and Best wishes. May your love be modern enough to survive the times, old fashion enough to last forever.

I love you guys!

Slenda or Fitrum Madness

Today am having some SLENDA or FITRUM MADNESS... I wanted to lose weight desperately as am having only 16 days more before the wedding of my friend and fit into her Maid of Honor gown. My eyes are already straining on researching if what works best SLENDA or FITRUM? 


Both pills are endorsed by popular actresses and both claimed to be very effective with no side effects and both are made of herbs.

looking at the pictures..Slenda endorser is sexier than Fitrum...hahaha... but we knew that Fitrum endorser was really "fat" before while slenda endorser was already sexy before she gave birth.  Now, what to BUY? 
Both also says that it will only work well when accompanied with exercise and good diet... => this is GOOD LUCK to me...


anyway as of today, am doing a 4 day 1 hour Zumba Class and trying not to eat rice in the evening....hopefully this will work. 


As for now, i'd try SLENDA...so will update you what's next with my Slenda adventure...


I can do it! AJA!

Zumba Party

Zumba is a Latin dance -inspired fitness program created by dancer and choreographerAlberto "Beto" Perez in Colombia during the 1990s. Its exercises include music with fast and slow rhythms, as well as resistance training. The music comes from the following dance styles: cumbia, salsa, merengue, mambo, flamenco, chachacha, reggaeton, soca, samba, belly dancing, bhangra, hip hop music, axé music and tango. 

I really love attending to this Zumba Party coz it makes me sweat a lot. The dance steps are great and it's no BORING at all. You don't need to count with the music, you just have to go with the flow.

So, let's do Zumba...SWEAT and LOSE...

It's only here where you enjoy losing weight!

morning nightmare

and this is my rant for this morning...


 If the government would charge a 3% Stupidity Tax, they could pay off the national debt...and they'd surely be richer because of him.

NOTE TO SELF: People may appear different than they once were..maybe even act different for a while..but the truth is, some people will NEVER change!!

the making of the "maid of honor"

a friend is getting hitched next month 

and am the maid like "maid with honor". 

shocked and excited as this on Elm Street

anyway, this is my dress and i had to make it as my phone wallpaper so as to remind to lose weight ASAP and to use lots of whitening products coz the color of the gown is 

Tangerine

coz seriously, this is how curvy-licious  i am

Oh, I just hope it will look good on me

this weekend am gonna meet the designer 

and dreams that by tomorrow when i wake up i'd be sexy as hell as this

I know, DREAM ON! *sigh*

TO MY SELF: 

Signing off...had to start preparing for my speech too...

it worked

I do now have my own signature....yay...so lovin' it!

signature, anyone?

okay so part of re-inventing is the SIGNATURE after every post... can anyone give me an easy step as 1,2,3???
Here's the one i've generated from Mylivesignature

Boracay

WELCOME TO

oh and just for the heck of info, click => Boracay


Last summer was such a fun coz me & friends went for a well-deserved R&R at Boracay in an all-expense paid by the company. (love it!) So, Bora they say is the "Sin Island " whatever that means, i really don't care being called sinner. :D 


Off we went to buy new slippers to compliment the Bora fine sands...

What to do there? of course aside from swimming, partying all night and other water & land adventures (diving, para-gliding, island hopping, kayaking etc...)


 NEVER miss the beautiful sunset

especially getting your own silhouette pic ...

you can either get a tattoo or braid your hair

enjoy the colorful festival

and just have all the fun the island can offer...

i will be missing some of you guys...till next time...

So you guys out there, if you haven't been here, do check it out...


Have Fun!

2012

Happy New Year Everyone!

Since it's 2012, i have decided to renovate & re-invent my blogger account. i was actually thinking of deleting this account but then i have the feeling that this year is going to be a great one for me, so i'll be needing this to sort of remind myself of the memories i had made. 

new year, new posts, new adventures and new lifestyle.

one thing i hope NOT to be:

God Bless!
