Reposted : Echoes of our Hearts

Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times that we love so much that we lose ourselves in our own emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there are love that grows and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end we find ourselves where we started. We cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been. Silent, mysterious, and deeply profound. Many of us believe that love is forever. That love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly have looked at love as need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it lasts and then freely open our hearts when it’s time to say goodbye. When we fall in love with someone, we don’t want that feeling to end for it is everything that we are and everything we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But if it doesn't  then we should never let our lives be taken by it for life should not end where heartaches begin. There’s always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart for love will have to set its wings free and find a place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever then we’ll know that it has never left us for the good we have become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy not because we have lost love but because for once in our lives that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy.

The Art of Letting go

Inawardan ako ng boss ko dahil ang daming abubot sa station ko. May mga libro, may mga kikay kit, may mga utensils at kung ano ano pa. Actually, di naman siya makalat, madami lang talagang abubot. Ang dami ko kasing gamit na nakatambak lang sa gilid gilid. Biglang spluk ng boss ko, "Bakit di mo alisin yung mga ibang gamit mo dyan, Siguro hirap ka mag let go." PAK ! Basag ang bakla !!!

Narealize ko, oo nga .. Check na check sa banga ! Di ko kayang I let go yung mga bagay na kahit di masyadong mahalaga. Example, yung love letter ng first crush ko nung High School. Hindi naman tlaga siya love letter. Ang nakasulat lang dun eh ung mga kalokohan naming dalawa at ang mga mini pagiinarte ko. That was written 2003, and the last time I saw it was last year - 2012. Tinago ko tlaga siya ng matindi kasi it means so much to me. Mukha namang tanga yung laman - nagmumurahan lang kami sa sulat. At nang nawala ko ang mini bible ko sa plane last year sa Bohol, vamos na rin ang so called Love Letter.

Love Letter pa lang yun, hindi pa kasama sa bilangan ng abubot ang mga damit, sapatos, accesories, and kung ano ano pa na pinagtatago ko kahit di ko na ginagamit. Eh pucha naman kasing sentimental value yan .. ang bigat sa baggage.

Aaminin ko na, hirap naman talaga ako maglet go .. kasi I tend to hold on to the memories and it refreshes whatever sensations I get on it - whether good or bad. Hindi naman madali yun ah. Ang tagal mong inalagaan, ang tagal mong minahal ( yung bagay ) tapos bibitawan lang.

Siguro its more of a process, kailangan mo muna makalimutan yung bagay na naghohold back sayo. Ligo ka nang sampung beses hangang matangal ang amoy ng taong di mo kayang bitawan. Take a gift of gap - breath .. rejuvenate. Collect your self and love your self even more. Sa sobrang dami nang gagawin ewan ko lang kung di ka maka let go ...

Ang Alamat ng Centrifugal Force

And I am back to blogging after a very long time. Nga nga ulit thinking what to right. My head is overloaded of thoughts and ideas that I cant sum it up into words. Lets just talk something happen to me today.

I woke up craving for siomai and hopia. Pagalis ko sa bahay papasok sa work, zero naman ang tindahan ng siomai malapit sa amin. Fly naman ako sa bilihan ng hopia. Wala nga nga din - di daw nagdeliver yung dealer. Ang ending suba na lang si bakla.

May mga ganun moment talaga sa buhay na hindi lahat ng gusto natin nakukuha natin. Kahit na sa iyo na lahat ng resources - Money, Ganda, Height - if its not for you, its not for you. Nga nga na lang sa sulok - laslas pulso. Ilang beses ko na bang sinabing gusto ko pumunta ng Baguio, pumunta ng Palawan or kahit sa Ayala Triangle para magwatch ng mga christmas lights. Kahit isang tambling lang ako sa office to Ayala Triangle hindi ko paren sya mapunta puntahan. Hindi sa tinatamad ako or wala akong pamasahe, pero wala kasing driving force that moves me to that place. Walang presence ng Centrifugal Force !

Sabi ng Science teacher ko, as far as I can remember - Centrifugal Force is an apparent force draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation. At katulad ng chika ko kanina, walang driving force that moves me.

Ganon din sa lovelife ! Si lalaki bet si girl .. si girl pabebe pero bet din si lalaki .. pero nakakulong sila sa friendzone ! Wala kasing centrifugal force ang relationship nila. Walang effort to move up. One might be scared of losing another, one might not be ready to upgrade. Basta madaming dahilan, madaming eksena.

Tingnan mo si Chichay bet naman si Joaquin, pero loka lokahan siyang denial para hindi mabokayo ni Madir Carmina. Eh obvious naman na bet din sya ni papa Joaquin. Kakalokang umabot pa sa ilang episode bago nya aminin ang feelings nya. Naunahan kasi siya ng takot .. siguro ayaw nya magrisk. Ewan ko sa writer and director pero dalang dala ako ng eksenang yun. Bigat pero relate !

Hindi ko tatapusin tong post na to. Bahala ka mabitin. Pero mas bet ko ikaw ang magtapos nito. What path will you choose o how far will you go. Stay ka ba sa friendzone or fight ka sa war zone !

Awra lang ng awra !
