Amazing stranger

bittersweet collide — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 08:58:06 +0000

I was alone biking again yesterday, as usual I went to the “spot” where I consider as the end point of my trail, then I stay for awhile, before returning back to where I came from. I was looking at the night lights of the other island when I heard a common voice saying, ”nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy, remember that.” I just nodded and said, “whew Nicholas Sparks, right?” And he smiled, nodding back.

It was noy Ben, the fishing rod vendor. It’s pretty amazing how this common guy, whom I thought, does nothing but sell bread and night fishing rod light, relaxing by the light post, puffing his favorite swisher sweet cigars, while waiting for the people who want to experience night fishing, actually does more than what he does.

He gives advise to the brokenhearted, lends an ear to those who needs someone to listen, cracks some jokes to those who are losing their sense of humor, and shares his experiences in the past. And lastly, he always share a certain striking quote that would hit you, and leave you thinking.

Looking at him, I never would’ve guessed this guy reads the same books as I do. But it’s great to know that he does. It’s pretty awesome, actually. No wonder why he gets a lot of customers, even if they’re not really into fishing, or his bread is nothing but a common pan de pugon. Haha.

Smile like nothing is wrong

Secured Tomorrow

bittersweet collide — Wed, 26 May 2010 17:39:37 +0000

Many people say, what matters most is you live by the moment and make the most out of what you have now. But we all know that whether we like it or not, days pass and we can’t stop tomorrow from coming and hings from happening. But, what’s in store for us tomorrow? We have no idea.

But, if you are given a chance to make every tomorrow better and more secure for you and your loved ones, would you grab that chance? What would you do?

If you care about protecting yourself, your income, and getting a premium pension when your time to retire comes, check out some life insurance quotes, and choose the insurance policy that suits you best. The younger the better, the earlier you get to pay off your insurance, the earlier it matures, and the earlier you get your pension.

Secure your loved one’s tomorrow, by preparing for it today.

Life's Little Adventures

Life is short therefore we must make the most out of it. Don’t be too preoccupied with too much responsibilities that tends to compromise your own personal and social growth.

It’s great to have a good career, and to make money from hard-work. But what will you do with your money, if in the end you are not happy?

Do not put thing off till tomorrow, travel, have fun, enjoy the fruits of your blessings, and enjoy life’s little adventures. Be safe and secure though, and don’t take things for granted. You may want to take look at online life insurance quotes just before going anywhere to do your ultimate adventures in life. Better ready than not.

Anyway, I got a suggestion for your next adventure. Tired of the usual driving around, or playing so-so sports? Why don’t you go bungee jumping or skydiving� with your friends for a change? That would be fun and exciting! Adrenalin rush!

Love and Happiness awaits at the end of the rainbow

Alexis — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:14:54 +0000

Every time the rain pours so heavy in this life
the aftermath of every darkness is a cloud with a silver light
and then the sun glows and dark clouds slowly disappear
the haze becomes clear as the rainbow appears…

Love and Happiness awaits at the end of the rainbow
Could it be true???

Do you think it’s true that we could find
the treasure of love like a pot of gold?
…that at the end of the rainbow tears run dry
and happiness will be�mine and�yours?

You said you’ll wait for me, I said I will do the same…
No matter how long it takes, no matter what fate may bring
But what if I won’t be able to make it back home?
If I’d end up at the end of the rainbow, will you come?

Love Waits

Alexis — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:47:10 +0000

I am patient, I can wait
I can stand by you
whatever it takes�

but please…
don�t let me live in vain hope
Don�t measure my enduring love
and uncomplaining patience�

I am here, I am here
Just so you know
Just if you forget
I am here, I am here

I am never used to standing
and waiting for luck to pass me by

I am an active subject
I am the flying wind
I am the careless animal
living in the barren earth

but i can be patient
and I can wait
I can stand by you
whatever it takes�

because i care, I do�
and I’m waiting

—————————————————————

This poem is for those who are waiting for the one they love.

true love is…

Alexis — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:27:58 +0000

true love is like taking a walk in the elliptical

a journey in place – never ending

you can walk your fastest and even try to run..
but you can never run or walk away.

you stop, look around and you’re still there.
the same old place, same old faces
just a little exhausted – but refreshed

you rest for awhile…

and then you take that journey again
same journey over and over again,
still in the same place

still the same feeling, only stronger.

life is how you make it

Alexis — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:38:01 +0000

Life is how you make it. According to Aldous Huxley, “Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.” I’ve had experiences a few switches this week, like I started blogging here in Aidan in behalf of Lex, to think that this blog is actually something that she dedicates to someone else. It hurts, and yes I have a choice, but what’s the use of sulking? I’d rather look at the positive side of things and not focus much on the hurt.

Franklin P. Jones said that “Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.” And I simply don’t want to commit another mistake of pushing Lex away just because of my selfish reasons. Actually this experience is teaching me to be more calm, and to learn to accept changes and things, just the way they are.

Anyway, right now I’m just here at the hospital, reading some life insurance quotes that was shared to me by the person sitting next to me. It made me think, people often take risks, but we could actually do something to somehow exsure things in the future. Most things we have no control of, but there are things we can do now, that can change the future.

pencils and bleeding pens

Alexis — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 02:24:56 +0000

One night I woke up and found myself lying beside you
I could not help but stare at your beautiful face
I gathered my pencils, and started to trace
to capture your beauty in my sketch

…but it seems that my pencils failed
and my purpose defeated
for no matter how perfect my masterpiece is–
It’s still nothing compared to you…

I got my pen, and wrote down every possible words
that would best describe how beautiful you are
and how much love I feel for you

My pens bleed with words
and my brains with it….
But they died in the end – still a failure

My pencils and bleeding pens could never capture
and would never be able to describe
Your beauty and Love.

Nothing could.

The Love Convict On Forbidden Love

Alexis — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 11:33:12 +0000

Many of us are love convicts, I admit being a major love convict. If loving were a crime, I’m probably the most wanted criminal in town, or who knows– in the whole wide world? I am guilty – guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I don’t mind though, because I’m happy loving someone. So happy that smile won’t leave my lips even when I’m asleep.

It’s normal for people to judge people, most especially if� they are engaged in what they call “FORBIDDEN LOVE“. But I guess, there’s no such thing as right or wrong when it comes to love. Wrong time perhaps, or wrong circumstance, for LOVE and loving itself could never be wrong.

On Forbidden Love

One of the hardest things to battle with in love, is loving someone who isn’t yours, or can’t be yours. But, the more difficult the struggle becomes, when that person loves you back just the same. – bittersweet collide

And I love the beautiful quote by the famous RM Rilke: “For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.”

Lastly, I just wanna share this song entitled, “ALL OVER ME”

I really love this song.

Lindsey Harper – All Over Me Lyrics

In the space between what�s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you.
All your fortresses go down in the night.
To the dawn I�ll see you through.

�Cause I know, that you know,
You�re all over me now.
And it�s clear, it will show,
Your curtains will close.

But if your heart is cold, my sheets are warm.
I will shelter you through the storm.
I will shelter you all through the storm.

The answers aren�t so easy to find,
The questions will have to do.
�Cause I�ve lost myself deep in your life,
My only fix is you.

�Cause I know, that you know,
You�re all over me now.
And it�s clear, it will show,
Your curtains will close.
But if your heart is cold, my sheets are warm.
I will shelter you through the storm.
I will shelter you all through the storm.

Saying what I am, what we are,
It�s a start towards the truth.
Taking my breath with each day,
All I can stand in my heart it�s you.

In the space between what�s wrong and right,
You will find me waiting for you�
