Blogsode Special: The Story of Us

We've met in such a very distinct timing. It might be a story just like every one else or it might happen like in a movie. But our story is one of my favorite to tell. For me it is the sweetest event of my life on on how it happen and how we got together. They say when you saw your other half time seems to stop for a second and for me it's like that. To meet someone like him is a blessing and you can tell once you get to know the person.

 They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops. And that's true. What they don't tell you, is that once time starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up.~ Edward Bloom

It was an ordinary night working in a cafe. I was working at the kitchen since there's other customer to serve when he came in. It seems wind blew and that the time just suddenly so slow while he was walking I don't want to get bother by that since he is just one cutie. I'm the second one to serve him as my master and I thought he is a Korean so I talk to him in english, but he can understand tagalog too (silly me!). Took his order and cook it for him. I never thought that's the start of our story love ride and a relationship I've never expected. But who knows he might be just someone passing by to have an experience in a maid cafe.  God truly works in mysterious ways especially when it comes to love and I believe He is one of the best author of it. Got his name and anothe day went by, he visit the cafe again and we manage to get our numbers (even its forbidden). So the story goes on he is not literally from here, he's just having a nice vacation and currently lives in Australia. That week was almost his last since he's going back home. Sad to hear from my side, but he asked me out and its an open to get to know the person. Long distance relationship is really hard so a lot of people make a fuss about it, yet we can't judge of people who are capable to manage a relationship LDR or not.

 We started as friends and so we went on a date a day before he leaves the Philippines I manage to know a little bit about him and thank God he is a Christian just like me. I was happy that he got to know me and that he is interested to someone like. Even we're friends we both decided to pray for each other and see where God can lead us in the process. He called every time and we go skype as well. We manage to pulled it off so I fall in love with him and I he has the right to know and it goes the same to him. We both feel that we're ready for the relationship. He is willing to sacrifice the skinship even we're far we just want to love and take care each other and more. He asked this question, "Do you want to spend a life term covenant with me?" I stop for a second because it's a total surprise attack so I ask if I can have a day to think, not because of the question is too much inside me its a total YES but because I want to tell my mother about it and that I want to approach her first before saying YES. She gave few advices and a go signal if I really love him despite of the distance. So it's good when I managed to talk to him I asked him to ask the question and just said YES!!! happily.

for 8 months we've waited till we see each other again. We prayed for it and last December God answered that prayer. When I saw him I just run to him and hug him really tight and all I can hear from him is "I love you..." Everyday our relationship grow stronger, we try to understand each other, we always pray for each other, we help if one falter and I know it won't just end in that. We both want to make time really precious that we can make more memories and to be with each other again  one of our goal. And I want to share this line from the movie Forces of Nature:

I always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person the rest of the world kind of magically faded away, and, you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble, but there is no bubble, I mean if there is you have to make it, I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, we can make choices, and we can choose to protect the people we love, and that’s what makes us who we are and those are the real memories.

A Special weekday blog: That Moment


How love has changed you? How it affects your way of life and how did it turn your world? It sounds like magical, a fairy tail story like. But how it change us through time? It's romantic like every one says. While I was observing people around me especially the ones with their partners it never missed to amaze me seeing them take good care of their other half. Seeing them flutter, the way they smile, the way they touch their hands or the man carefully caress the woman's face and see him how he express those three sweet words, it was always full of love. When you see old couple it is much more wonderful and heart-warming to see them walk in the street hand-in-hand. I want to be like that to grow old with my partner that our love won't change, but rather grow with it through time.


Love? It will always be amazing! The ability to change for that person is always constant because we love them, you love him or her. 


I'm writing this blog to express my gratitude to my partner even we are in a long distance relationship we both fall in love with each other everyday. I cherish him each and everyday that I always long for him. He is an awesome guy and to be with him is one of my prayers. I love him so dearly that I want to take good care of him for the rest of my life. I can change beyond what I am right now, not for the worst but for the better. 


We should not look at it as one sided or unrequited love. To love is to give, to love is one of our main function and we should be happy that we can feel that not only to our partner but also to people that we cared about. It was always a good thing to love and be loved in return. It sounds foolish yet man cannot live alone in this world. It's a tragedy to die alone. Everyone in this world always long for someone, that soul mate, other half or whatever term you can put that into. Just to feel that safe and security in someone's arm. To feel that fluttery and mushy inside, that your time stop with them.


When you look into their eyes you see nothing but beauty and that you want to spend every single day of your life with that someone.

So how love has changed you? 

Blogsode Special: Nothing Better Lyrics

It always appeared before me
Your face, I remember
My heart that stopped short
You spitefully took my disfunctional heart
And with your bright smile
That's how you easily opened my heart

It's true, that is how I became your man
All my unpleasant memories, I no longer recall
Because the hand that holds me tight
is as warm as spring

And now like a dream my heart
has gradually stopped by your side
Without awakening for a single moment,
I dream an endless dream

And now like breathing,
if you were to always rest by my side
if you were to always remain this way
nothing better nothing better than you
nothing better nothing better than you

And now like a dream, My heart
in your embrace, is held still
Without awakening for a single moment,
I dream an endless dream

And now like breathing,
if you were to always rest by my side
if you were to always remain this way
nothing better nothing better than you
nothing better nothing better than you

nothing better nothing better than you

Vegetable Soup: Saturday Love Lounge

Love Lounge: What do you want it comes to Relationship? By Melissa Blake

The link got my attention while I'm browsing my dashboard for something to read, Melissa Blake share her thoughts about what kind of relationship she wants and a partner to be with. When she was young she made a list of the man she wants to be with; traits of her future boyfriends must possess and come to think of it when I was young I used to have those as well, like I have my list. I attended TLW seminars and been there 3 times way back my highschool days. It seems fun and you can't miss things out about your future love life. There's a part there that you must write down the must-have and should-have of your future partner, you'll write a letter for him entitled: To My Future Husband and pray to God every single bit of that person (You don't know who...) that comes to your mind. I guess it's not a bad thing at least your setting your standard and be prepared when you actually meet one. It is not exactly you follow that list 'cos we don't want to be disappointed, I don't want to be disappointed. But God knows who will be the best partner for you or for me, I just have to wait patiently. 

Moving on, I was thinking about my previous relationship and it all went down to the drain, because it is not what God wants for me. I'm just being stubborn and He let me experience that so I will learn from it. I have my fantasies, but I need to woke up and see the larger picture of reality. I was young I never know what I want yet I want to have a secure future, a happy love-life, someone who is caring and can make me laugh. To grow and become a better person. Those traits I want, well some of it are important and some are not. So, How can I know that this person is the one for me? Then one of my church friend shared this (She and her partner is an example of TLW relationship. Both attended a different seminar and manage to give their letters during their honeymoon.) a partner should-have and really-must-have these 3 things: He must be a Lover, Leader & Provider. The summary of what I want to love and be with in the future. I stick to that context and prayed for it ever since.

and Melissa Blake said:

I may not know all that much about love yet, but I do know three things:

*I know the fantasy is never going to live up to reality. That's just life, plain and simple.
*I know that life and love don't come with scripts. Things don't always work out the way you had them planned in your head.
*I know that anyone who says that they've never created the perfect fantasy in their heads is lying.

She is right! I might have fantasies swirling in my head, but I know God is better maker and author of romantic stories. I never lose hope of being with the person I want to travel on life's journey with - white horse or no white horse. That's why I was so glad when I met Carlo. He is a great blessing that I'm always swift off my feet to those simple things he do for me. I continually pray for this person who always makes me laugh, happy and feel loved. We both continue glorifying God for I met such a wonderful creature. I love him and since the moment I saw him I said I want to be with this person, Him to be my lover, leader and provider. It is the joy that my heart can't measure.

So, How bout you?

Blogsode: Brighther Than Sunshine

I see the glimmer of light at the spider's web, it glows with colors and hits my eyes with beauty. I just gaze upon it. I lay myself quietly on a swing, waiting for the sun peek its ambient light to the world. I said, "Beautiful" and the old lady started to burn some woods and as the smoke rises above the sky I see the fading rays of the sun and all I thought it was always astonishing such image. For the trees and the leaves they rejoice by meeting the new day with delight. I woke early than expected, if I didn't I won't be able to see God's miracle of a day. I lay there .. waiting...

you make my heart glow from the inside and it show with a smile on my face...

Can't sleep anymore, but I want to dream more. I am troubled, now my soul is at peace just by witnessing such wonder with these eyes I can see God's creation beyond measure. I stare upon the rays of light and felt warm when it touches my face. Everything is really good and all I can say it will be a good day. I smile...

Vegetable Soup: Something To Write About

I was so inspired by people's blog, I love to read on how they speak their minds out and they manage to make their feelings talk. I was quite down the past days that I can't write a blog and need a little repair for my feelings I have so no ideas to input, no stories to tell. I little bit of disappoint for myself, but hey! I got something out of it. I will try to make more stories and will continue to write a letter to my partner. But, I'll skip the sweet part for later and make my vegetable soup first.

Good to see a new face of blogspot so I have to make a few adjustment and make sure that I'm taking good care of my blogs. I was about to tell and revise my old post from before or make a new one out of it. I was so happy to see a blog of old people holding hands thanks to Melissa Blake I remember my first blog about the love of old people couples or me when I get old. They are the best and that's an inspiration, a motivation!

So what about the blog today? Nothing that much. I was at home and I'm boring myself out reading mangas and listening to music and then it pops to my head why not right a blog again. The title is just something to motivate me to write and the emotions are quite intact it makes me keep going and going and going. If I'm going to share something today its about the failures I have...

To be Continued...

Vegetable Soup: A Happy-Gloomy Mundane

Monday Fever! It's my rest day. Are we having a nice Monday so far? If you manage to wake up come and think of this... You are blessed by another day in your life! I miss blogging and it seems I will have time doing this, more updates and I'll manage to tell more stories. Today I'll make something out of my mind and just form it according to what I see every day in my life. The difference of people's lives... I want to run-away and never look back. I want to walk, a long walk where my heart will find peace, any where will do. I need it, I don't want to feel the loneliness...

I NEED A TIME-OFF!!!!! 

The past days aren't the same as I knew it would be. I'm trying to make things or do things in my way that I shouldn't, it's beyond my comprehension! Everything seems pushing me to the limits. I can't or I can barely move. Is it just me? or I'm just having issue? There's this fear in my heart that I shouldn't trust, my mind goes in a separate way from what my heart says and they don't get a long well. I'm trying to make amends and it feels that inside of me are so empty. I'm being crushed inside and I'm trying to get a hold of it.

 'This is not always about me!' that keeps ringing in my head like I'm being hammered. I knew that! Someday, there's going to be a lot of people will tell that to me. Maybe because I'm not what they're expecting. It should not be always about me... I know... I just need care and to feel that even through my worst I am accepted. I've under go a lot of bad times, I always stumble and fall, I was being judged, the left alone thing is not an issue anymore. It happens all the time and I don't know if they really accept the ME from the first part to the in-between and if it will last and that's good. 

Now... I'm being block! I'm trying to put nice words but the I and the ME part, I'm avoiding it. I should start thinking about others and care to listen, I remember someone told me I'm heartless, cruel, cold like ice. I'm not like that... but there are points that I can't help it. God knows, and I felt bad that I'm not letting Him handle things, that I should be dependent on Him. I think its okay to be sad and cry, its okay to let it all out and shout it out to the world. I'm suffering and still there's smile on my face only few people can see that, only few people can feel that I'm having a hard time. Probably, I'll burst into tears if someone will look me in the eye and says, "It's okay... Stop that half-ass smile of yours and let me give you a hug. Let it all out. I'm here.. I'm not going to leave.. there there.." 

I never really show who I am, I'm scared. But, it always go out without me knowing it. The wrecked part of me is in total damage, I'm falling into pieces, scattered and broken. But, in my state I always pray even though I know it can't be renew, still I know it can be healed in time. I don't know what to say anymore and I don't know where to start. I guess I'm back to square one... or I'll start on my bended knees and pray...

"it's just me and you mr. snowman.."
