Chloe to Clark

*** SLEEPING. ***** ON THE SIDE.

Hi, ****. [She squeezes his shoulder.] Well, this is gonna make quite a story. “**** ***** ends record-breaking perfect attendance streak.” [She grins at her own joke, then stops.] Sorry. I’m doing it again. I just- I’ve never seen you sick before and it just got me thinking, you know? What if something did happen to you? And I-I never got to…

So, in yet another classic maneuver to avoid emotional intimacy, I wrote my feelings down so that I could read them to you, thereby eliminating embarrassing eye contact. [She pulls out a piece of pink paper & begins to read.] “I want to let you in on a secret. I’m not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I’m surprised you haven’t seen right through me. I’m the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend.”

“Sometimes I want to rip off this facade like I did at the Spring Formal but I can’t because you’ll get scared and you’ll run away again. So I decided that it’s better to live with a lie than expose my true feelings.” [She becomes choked up & stops reading to run her fingers through ****'s hair.] This is so much easier when you’re unconscious. [She starts to read again.] “My dad told me there are two types of girls. The ones you grow out of and the ones you grow into. I really hope I’m the latter. I may not be the one you love today, but I’ll let you go for now, hoping one day you’ll fly back to me because I think you’re worth the wait.”

Things I learned sa Buhay YFC

1.) You honor a person more by listening to him/her rather than speaking.

2.) You let go of prayer time, you let go of everything.

3.) When you do let go, it shows.

4.) It’s not really what you say, but how you say it.

5.) Coordinators are a lot like members, love them and you’ve won them for life.

6.) Coordinators are really like members, they need prayers too. When you don’t pray for them, nagiging pasaway din.

7.) It’s better to be loving than to be right.

8.) Mas effective mangulit sa dasal kesa mangulit sa salita. (Usually, they stop listening to you altogether if you nag. You’re lucky if they don’t resent you.)

9.) Uwian after household has several stations (of the cross): FOR SISTERS - unang kiss station – the sisters kiss each other but end up talking about something ssooo important that they end up staying for another 15 minutes; the hintayan stage – several sisters are left having an intense instant 1 to 1s while the others linger a few meters away, waiting; the wait lang stage – several sisters realize they forgot their fon/bag/In His Steps/wallet kaya binalikan sa bahay kung saan naghousehold; the eternal problem of transpo stage – the final stage consists of waiting along a highway or street for that taxi/jeep/tricycle that will take them home OR the entire household figures out how to pack in 10 people in a Honda Civic OR paghintay sa isang kawawang tatay who was texted to fetch one of the YFCs (usually this hapless tito will bring home the rest of the household. Never mind if he was roused from sleep at 2am.)

10.) A household set at 7pm will start no earlier than 9pm.

11.) You aren’t YFC if you have never texted anyone, “pagpray mo nmn ako…”

12.) You will always be the happiest when you are thinking about how to love someone more.

13.) It is inevitable that you will get depressed when you take yourself too seriously.

14.) When you worry too much, you’re putting limits on God’s generosity.

15.) Nothing beats hearing your coordinator defend you against people who say “Yang YFC na ‘yan, pera lang ang habol…Wala namang ginagawa ‘yan…”

16.) Poor and rich people are the people in need of the most love. They are also the easiest to fall into grave sins like drug addiction and pre-marital sex. But it is lukewarmness that afflicts the average YFC.

17.) YFCs look forward to households because they are nourished. It is empowering to be with other inspiring people. YFCs look forward to worship and sharing and hearing about God working in other people’s lives. At shempre, may chibog.

18.) You realize of the 4 spokes – fellowship, prayer, service and sacraments – you receive the sacraments at the minimum level.

20.) Ang YFC iba yan pag in luv…Anjan ang mga tanong na sobrang kulet..”Lord, siya na ba?”

21.) Of the 4 spokes, ang pinakamatindi at walang kamatayan – fellowship.

22.) Pag nagmission ka, it doesn’t matter kung two years na kau di nagkta ng mga naghost seño…pag nagkita kau, parang kahapon lang.

23.) Di maiiwasang, manood ng sine kasama ang mga ka-YFC…Di pa nakuntento, icconnect pa yung movie (kahit X-Men pa yan o Johnny English) sa YFC life and shempre, kay God. At shempre, kahit dedma ang buong audience, masspot mo ang isang YFC crowd sa sobrang ingay, side comment at pasahan ng chibog.

24.) Minsan masakit sa lider na hindi siya kilala ng member niya.

25.) Shempre, bigay todo pag worship. Kahit di alam ang lyrics…Pag nagkamali, sobrang obyus kc anlakas ng boses. Hihina ng konti yung boses pero pag alam na yung lyrics, sige, banat pa! (Hmm…marami akong kilalang ganito…)

26.) Pag YFC talaga, iba maglambing.. .”i mis u, luv u, bn prayng 4u…”

27.) Pag pagkain mo, pagkain na rin ng lahat…(kahit baso, kutsara, straw…)

What's Next?

At the end of Christmas Day, when the Misa de Aguinaldo is over, when the Midnight Mass has been done, and text messaging becomes easier from last night, and the celebrations become sober, and we have all opened our gifts, a thought sometimes comes to me: What’s next?

What’s next? Christmas in the Philippines is far the longest of all celebrations. And its peak reaches on Christmas eve, when we troop to Midnight mass and noche buena. During the day, the excitement drops and the whole world suddenly becomes silent and restful. After the Christmas frenzy, what’s next?

Yes, what’s next? After we have eaten the last piece of the Christmas cake, or the last chunk of lechon from the table, or the last plate of spaghetti, we ask, what’s next? After all the magic of the season, what’s next?

99 SECRETS GIRLS HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT GUYS (most of them are true)

1. Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.

2. Guys hate flirts.

3. A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards.

4. When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is.

5. "Are you doing something?" or "Have you eaten already?" are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone just to get out from stammering.

6. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep,
they always think about the girl they truly care about.

7. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad
characteristics.

8. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

9. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention.

10. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend.

11. When guys want to meet your parents. Let them.

12. Guys want to tell you many things but they can't. And they sure
have one habit to gain courage and spirit to tell you many things and
it is drinking!

13. Guys cry!!!

14. Don't provoke(irritate) the guy to heat up. Believe me. He will.

15. Guys can never dream and hope too much.

16. Guys usually try hard to get the girl who has dumped them, and
this makes it harder for them to accept their defeat.

17. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back.

18. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...never
mind!" would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking.

19. Guys go crazy when girls touch their hands.

20. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.

21. When a guy makes a prolonged "umm" or makes any excuses when you're asking him to do you a favor, he's actually saying that he doesn't like you and he can't lay down the card for
you.

mean that the guy likes her.

much pretty.

37. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.

listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

you.

broke up especially when they've been together for 3 years or more.

**51. You have to tell a guy what you really want before getting
involved with that guy.

52. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's
too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be matured and grow up.

53. When an unlikable circumstance comes, guys blame themselves a lot more than girls do. They could even hurt themselves physically.

54. Guys have strong passion to change but have weak will power.

55. Guys are tigers in their peer groups but become tamed pussycats with their girlfriends.

56. When a guy pretends to be calm, check if he's sweating. You'll
probably see that he is nervous.

57. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl. He really is.

58. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying,"Please come and listen to me"

70. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.

71. A guy's friend knows everything about him. Use this to your
advantage.

rejection.

73. Don't be biased. Try loving a guy without prejudice and you'll be surprised.***********

74. Girls who bathe in their eau de perfumes do more repelling than
attracting guys.

75. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic
is about girls.

76. Guys don't comprehend the statement "Get lost" too well.

77. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable
decisions but still love them more.

78. When a guy gives a crooked or pretentious grin at your jokes, he finds them offending and he just tried to be polite.

79. Guys don't care about how shiny their shoes are unlike girls.

80. Guys tend to generalize about girls but once they get to know
them,they'll realize they're wrong.

81. Any guy can handle his problems all by his own. He's just too
stubborn to deal with it.

82. Guys find it so objectionable when a girl swears.

83. Guys' weakest point is at the knee.

84. When a problem arises, a guy usually keeps himself cool but is
already thinking of a way out.

85. When a guy is conscious of his looks, it shows he is not good at
fixing things.

86. When a guy looks at you, either he's amazed of you or he's
criticizing you.

87. When you catch him cheating on you and he asks for a second chance,give it to him. But when you catch him again and he asks for another chance,ignore him.

88. If a guy lets you go, he really loves you.

89. If you have a boyfriend, and your boy best friend always glances at u and it obviously shows that he is jealous whenever you're with your boyfriend, all I can say is your boy best friend loves you more than your boyfriend does.

90. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.

91. You can tell if a guy is really hurt or in pain when he cries in
front of you!

92. If a guy suddenly asks you for a date, ask him first why.

93. When a guy says he can't sleep if he doesn't hear your voice even just for one night, hang up. He also tells that to another girl. He only flatters you and sometimes makes fun of you.

94. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him
praying sometimes.

95. Guys seek for advice not from a guy but from a girl.

96. Girls are allowed to touch boys' things. Not their hair!

97. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.

98. Guys hate girls who overreact.

99. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

this poem has been the story of my former life, wala pong malalim na dahilan kung bakit ko ito pinose, natripan ko lang, sana makarelate kayo sa tulang ito. enjoy :)

BITUIN

Paano kung maging bituin ako?
Mas masaya kaya ang mabuhay?
Siguro, titingalain mo ako at hahanapin sa kawalan
Magagalit ka sa mga ulap
Patuloy akong magtatago
At patuloy kang maghahanap

Sa pagbilang mo’y dadalawin ka ng antok
Sa panaginip mo, naroon din ako
Maghahabulan tayo
Ngunit di mo ako maaabot
Mapapagod ka at mauupo
Sa lugar na kitang kita ang aking liwanag

Pupurihin mo ang aking liwanag
At kasama ng iyong mga gunita
Aawitin mo ang gusto kong kanta
Hihintayin nating dalawa ang gabi
At sisisihin natin ang pagsikat ng araw
Dahil maghihiwalay na tayo at babalik ka na sa kanya

Pikit mata akong manonood
Nangangarap na sa habang buhay
Ay wala ng umaga…

Ngunit hindi nga ako bituin
Hindi nga ako ang iyong tinitingala
Hindi mo ako hinahanap
Tulad ng paghabol mo sa kanya
Hindi mo binibilang ang isang libo at isang daang dahilan
Kung bakit Masaya tayo kapag magkasama
Wala ako sa panaginip mo
At kahit kalian ay hindi mo napansin ang aking liwanag
Hindi sa akin ang papuri mo at hindi rin sa akin ang mga awit na’yon
Sa kanya lahat…

Siya ang araw na naghihiwalay
Sinusunog niya ang aking kaluluwang nagtatago sa dilim
Pinapaso niya ako at wala akong magawa para sa aking sarili
Naghihintay lang ako sa iilang malalayang gabi

Hanggang kailan kakainin ng liwanag ang katauhan mo
Kayang-kaya kitang iligtas
Ngunit alam kong di ka sasama…
Binubulag ka ng mga bagay
Na hindi mo naman nakikita
At nabibingi ka sa paulit-ulit na pagbulong ng hanging galing sa kanya

Wala ka nang itinira para sa sarili mo
At wala ng paraan upang makabawi
Walang ikaw…walang ako…walang tayo…
Dahil napuno na ang mundo mo
Ng puro “siya” at “siya lang”

Muntik ko nang hilingin na “siya” ay “ako”
Ngunit sa tuwing makikita kita
Natatakot akong kainin ka muli ng liwanag
At hindi ka na makakabalik…
At maiiwan akong nag-iisa sa kawalan

Kayang kong baguhin ang lahat ng ito
Ngunit hindi ko gagawin dahil ayaw mo
Nabubhay tayong dalawa sa alaala ng gabing iyon
At hindi ito matatapos hangga’t nabubulag ka’t nabibingi…

Hindi ako magigng Masaya
Habang patuloy ang pagsikat ng araw
Na naghihiwalay sa atin…
Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito
Inaamin kong ikaw ang may hawak sa akin
At wala akong magagawa
Kundi patuloy na managinip…
Na sana’y maging bituwin nga ako
Na kahit pinaghihiwalay tayo ng liwanag
Darating pa rin ang gabi
At muli tayong maghahabulan…
Na kahit hindi ako Masaya,
Nakakasama kita hanggang magbukang liwayway
Na kahit paulit-ulit kang bumalik sa kanya’y nag-iiwan ka ng alaala sa akin…
Na kahit pinipili mong mapaso ng araw
Alam kong ‘yon ang kagustuhan mo…

Patuloy akong mananaginip…
Ako pa rin ang bituin sa kawalan
Na nahuhulog para sayo…
Alam ko man gang hiling mo’y unti-unti akong pinapatay…
Hinihiling mong sana’y…SUMIKAT MULI ANG ARAW…

Happy 6th Monthsary

i used to tell myself
i am not sad
i just dont have any reason to be happy

but then you came...

you have given me dreams
dreams you slowly pull out of my head and turned it in to reality

you have given me inspiration
inspiration that i can do anything and that i cant do anything wrong

you have given me strength
strength to protect everything i care for

you have given me security
security that makes me sleep soundly

you have given me peace
peace that washed my bitterness away

you have given me laughter
laughter that it brings back the child within me

you have given me friendship
friendship that i know i can always count on

you have given me hope
hope that there is still beauty and goodness in this world

you have given me happiness
happiness i never thought was possible

i know that this is already a re-post...but for me...after 6 months...it has more meaning to me now :))

aaminin ko, hindi naging madali ang anim na buwan nating pagsasama...

maraming di naniwala
maraming kumontra
maraming masasakit na salita ang nabitawan

at kahit tayo...marami ding hindi pagkakaintindihan...

pero alam mo...

dahil sa mga pinagdaanan natin...

MAS LALO KITANG MINAHAL!!!

I LOVE YOU JEAN! HAPPY 6TH MONTHSARY TO US *HUGS*

Mangyari Lamang

Mangyari lamang ay tumayo
Ang mga nagmamahal
Nang makita ng lahat
Ang kagandahan ng mukha ng pag-ibig
Ipamalas ang tamis
Ng malalim na pagkakaunawaan
Sa mga malabo ang paningin.

Mangyari lamang ay tumayo rin
Ang mga nagmahal at nasawi
Nang makita ng lahat
Ang mga sugat ng isang bayani
Ipadama ang pait ng kabiguan
Habang ipinagbubunyi
Ang walang-katulad na kagitingan
Ng isang nagtaya.

Mangyari lamang ay tumayo
Ang mga nangangambang magmahal
Nang makita ng lahat
Ang kilos ng isang bata
Ipamalas ang katapatan ng damdamin
Na pilit ikinukubli
Ng pusong lumaki sa mga engkanto at diwata

Mangyari lamang ay tumayo
Ang mga nagmahal, minahal, at iniwan
Ngunit handa pa ring magmahal
Nang makita ng lahat
Ang yaman ng karanasan
Ipamalas ang mga katotohanang nasaksihan
Nang maging makahulugan
Ang mga paghagulhol sa dilim

At sa mga nananatiling nakaupo
Mangyari lamang ay dahan-dahang tumalilis papalabas
Sa nakangangang pinto
Umuwi na kayo
At sumbatan ang mga magulang
Na nagpalaki ng isang halimaw.

At sa lahat ng naiwang nakatayo
Mangyari lamang ay hagkan ang isa’t isa
At yakapin ang mga sugatan
Mabuhay tayong lahat
Na nagsisikap na makabalik sa ating pinagmulan

Manatiling masaya
At higit sa lahat magpatuloy
Sa pagmamahal.
