MIXED EMOTIONS

I wrote this simple and short poem for a friend. I hope he will appreciate it.


I don’t want to hurt you
Or even want to ignore you
I just want to be your friend
To be honest, not to pretend

I wanted to know you more
Just deep but not to fall
I don’t want you to misunderstood
My appreciation for you to conclude

I was surprised by your affection
To formulate a chain reaction
Never thought that it would happen
Hoping that it would never end

My heart belongs to someone else
Maybe your heart begins to melt
Let’s just start a great friendship
And build it as a splendid

ART OF LETTING GO

This is from my friend. I just want to share it with you guys.



Anyone who has gone through the agony of losing someone she loves so much will still wish against all odds to have that love back again. But, fly! Remember, it may rain for 40 days and 40 nights, but still will not rain forever. One day the pouring will stop and there will be plenty of branches where you can find rest. One of those is where you will build your rest and start over again. It’s never too late. Remember that you may find love and lose it, but “WHEN LOVE DIES, YOU NEVER HAVE TO DIE WITH IT.”

With love, we learn how to care and sacrifice. We learn to share and reach out. We learn to be unselfish and give more than we can. And when everything doesn’t end well, we strive to get back on our feet and move on. This is where we learn that “LIFE DOESN’T END WHERE OUR HEARTACHES BEGINS.”

There is no future in a relationship of lies and selfishness. It’s true, there’s life in love. Make a choice not based on impulse but a decision based on a healthy balance of mind and heart. Let us always remember that “HAPPINESS IS NOT A MATTER OF DESTINY BUT A MATTER OF CHOICE.”

You don’t have to forget someone you love. What you have to learn is to ACCEPT THE VERDICT OF REALITY WITHOUT BEING BITTER OR SORRY FOR YOURSELF. You would be better off giving that love and dedication to someone more deserving. Don’t let your heart run your life; let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that when you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow.

“IF YOU LOSE LOVE, THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE FAILED IN LOVE. CRY IF YOU HAVE TO, BUT MAKE SURE THAT THE TEARS WASH AWAY THE HURT AND BITTERNESS THAT THE PAST LEFT WITH YOU. LET GO OF YESTERDAY AND LOVE WILL FIND ITS WAY BACK TO YOU.” It’s true that love can wait forever, but it is crazy to stubbornly hope for someone who doesn’t even care or understand how you feel. Don’t waste your time waiting for someone who never really cared about how you would have felt. Open you heart again and give yourself the chance to find the man who would make loving worth the pain and sacrifice.

GOD wakes up in the middle of a storm to teach us a lesson. He takes away the people we love, so we can learn to value love itself. He makes us cry so hard so we can see clearly when we open our eyes. He makes us bitter so we can realize that there is no genuine happiness if we only think of our needs and not of others. “GOD ALLOWS US TO EXPERIENCE THE PAIN TO MAKE US STRONGER AND BETTER PERSONS. HE WILL SEE US THROUGH THE MOST TRYING AND DIFFICULT TIMES IN OUR LIVES AND ONLY IF WE PUT OUR TRUST IN HIM WE CAN LEARN TO FIND JOY IN OUR HEARTS AND HAPPINESS IN OUR SORROWS.”

Letting go is a decision that can never be dictated to us. It is a resolve that we make ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new beginning and time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its fearful shadows, there will always be light after darkness and lonely moments. There is always hope for those who believe. There is always a chance for those who try. “LOSING SOMEONE WE LOVE MAY NOT BE A LOSS AT ALL BUT A BLESSING BECAUSE SOMEONE EVEN MORE DESERVING IS YET TO COME.”

MUKHA NG BUHAY MANGGAGAWA

Kasama na sa buhay ng tao ang pagkabigo, pakikipagsapalaran, tagumpay at pagsisikap. Tulad sa isang trabaho at buhay manggagawa. Di maiiwasan ang kompetisyon, iringan at inggitan. Andyan yung sisiraaan ng isang kaopisina ang isa nyang kaopisina para lang yung isa ang mapuri. Meron naman na sa paghahangad ng mas mataas na posisyon gagawa pa ng kwento para lang masira ang taong kakumpitensya. Meron naman na para umangat ay magdudunung dunungan kahit wala namang alam. Nariyan pa yung kahit di naman tinatanong sa isang proseso ay magpriprisinta kahit na nagmumukha syang katawa tawa dahil di naman talaga nya alam ang ginagawa nya.


Di lingid sa kaalaman naten na lahat tayo naghahangad umangat. Nangangarap tumaas ang posisyon at kahit itanggi naten at sabihing di pera ang dahilan ay gusto naten ang sumahod ng malaki. Kaya tayo nagtratrabaho para kumita. Magkaron ng pera na ipang tutustos naten sa mga pangangailangan naten sa araw araw. Lahat ng pagsisikap ay ginagawa naten di para sa sarili naten kundi para sa mga mahal naten sa buhay.


Maswerte na tayo kung tayo’y kumakain ng tatlong beses sa isang araw. May trabaho at sumasahod ng sapat lang. Kung minsan nakakatamad na rin pumasok sa trabaho. Nakakasawa na rin ang paulit ulit mong ginagawa sa araw araw na tila ba natitigil na ang iyong kaalaman sa pagdiskubre ng ilang mga bagay bagay sa iyong paligid. Gustuhin mo mang humanap ng mas magandang trabaho at kumita ng malaki, minsan naiisip mo ang mga kasama mo sa trabaho. Mahirap din kasi mahanap ang totoong samahan. Samahan na sa kabila ng hirap ng trabaho naiibsan ang pagod at napapalitan ng kaligayahan. Minsan naiisip mo din na “Kung lumipat ba ako tatagal ako sa kumpanyang lilipatan ko?.” Kung minsan nakakatamad din ang maghanap ng trabaho dahil pagdadaanan mo nanaman ang simula sa “exam” “initial interview” at “final interview”. Sa dami ng naghahanap ng trabaho ngayon marami ang iyong kasabayan. Madalas pa di ka aabutin ng “final interview” Nariyan pa yung “Tatawagan ka nalang kung nakapasa ka” tapos isang buwan na wala pa ring tawag ang natatanggap.


Kahit na may matino tayong trabaho ay di pa rin tayo nakukuntento sa kung ano ang meron tayo. Kahit na anung gawin nating pagsisikap ay di pa rin tayo umaangat angat sa buhay. Kahit alam nating pinakita na nating lahat ng pagsisikap natin at pagmamahal sa trabaho ay tila kulang pa rin saten ito. Yung tipong sa tingin mo karapat dapat ka naman sa tagumpay na inaasam mo ngunit di ka pa rin mabigyan ng parangal. Kung sino pa ang sa tingin mo na di karapat dapat ay syang nakangiti ngayon at nakaluklok sa pedestal. Ngunit ganun talaga ang buhay. Sa tingin mo na naipakita mo na lahat at ginawa mo ang lahat ng iyong nalalaman at alam mo na naibahagi naman ito sa iba tila wala pa ring saysay ang lahat. Imbis na magreklamo ka at maghanap ng mga kasagutan sa iyong mga agam agam ay mas pinipili mo nalang ang manahimik at maghintay. Ngunit hanggang kelan ka maghihintay? May hinihintay ka ba? O naghihintay ka lang sa wala?


Yan ang mukha ng buhay manggagawa. Minsan nasa itaas ngunit madalas nasa ibaba. Kung gusto mo talagang magtagumpay kailangan mo doblehin ang pagsisikap. Ipakita mo sa sarili mo at sa ibang tao na di ka talunan. Huwag titigil sa pag abot ng pangarap. Libre ang mangarap ngunit di puro pangarap nalang. Di puro salita, bagkus kelangan din ng gawa.
