Looking at the brighter side of things

(A blogpost from my friendster blog. Posted last September 22nd, 2007) Optimism y’all!
I had always been an optimist. In every situation I encounter, I always look at the brighter side of things. I can’t remember when I became such but I’m glad I did. Was it the influence my boyfriend has on me (He is an optimist such as I)? Or maybe the day I realized I’ll always be on the losing end if won’t see the brighter side of things.
As such, I became less and less of a crying machine…. hehehehe. I cry like 12 times yearly more or less because of problems. But I’m not worried of not having an oulet for my tears… I know it’s unhealthy not to shed a tear regularly. I do cry but not on my problems. I cry over a nice love story.. On movies and most primarily, I cry when I read romance novels. Usually on the part where the guy and the girl has the chance to bring everything out in the open and resolve all their issues. Hahaha…kilig na kilig ako jan na umiiyak. So, when I feel like I have not been crying for a long time, I just go to the booksore and buy myself some romance novel.
Anyway, the reason I’m posting this blog is for those who might read this to also look at the brighter side of things because it would do us good. Trust me.
I have a friend who is currently havig a problem with her boyfriend. Things have been complicated between them. I will expound on the details no more. Just that theirs is a relationship that is being confronted with racial differences. Anyway, I just told her to let things be coz sooner or later things will get better. If and when, they decide to go their separate ways, then let it be. It might be easier said than done but hey, there is nothing you can do about it. There are more reasons why you’d better off without him. Someday, you’ll find someone who would be perfect for you. Just don’t give up on love.. phleeezzz…
I also have a friend who has a lot of love to give. The problem is she has not yet found the person to shower her love upon. Optimism. Someday soon, the person will come when you least expect it. For now, enjoy the joys of being single.
A friend of mine also failed to make it in an exam. Optimism. Maybe he is destined to do greater things on a different genre.
I myself am being tested on my optimism. My boyfriend and I are separated by a thousand miles between us. Optimism. I need and I am practicing that. So far, I have been successful. It doesn’t mean I don’t miss him. I do. More than words can say. It doesn’t mean I love him less. I love him more each day. Optimism. One day, we will realize our dreams. And it will be worth all our sacrifices.
So you see, optimism helps a lot… Always look at the brighter side of things. It would make you feel better.
Optimism y’all!

Just to be with you…

You’d think by now I am used to this-it’s almost 4 years that you are working abroad. But no… everyday when I wake up, the emptiness sets in again and again.
You are the last thing on my mind when I go to sleep and you are the first when I wake up.
Then I question myself… “Are we doing the right thing by being apart?” Back then, when we discussed that I will stay here in the Philippines, it somehow made sense…
But now, I don’t know anymore… ” Why I am still here? What am I doing here?”.
I realized that time is indeed precious. When it’s gone, you could never take it back. We never know when God will call us to be by HIs side. It maybe today, tomorrow, the week after, 10 years, 20 years… only God knows… I don’t want to wake up one day (or not wake up) with only regrets that we spent much of our days apart.
There are only a few things that I most desire and one of these is just to be with you. To wake up with you, sleep with you, kiss you, hug you, love you and let you know how happy I am just by being with you.

Just to be with you

You'd think by now I am used to this-it's almost 4 years that you are working abroad. But no... everyday when I wake up, the emptiness sits in again and again. You are the last thing on my mind when I go to sleep and you are the first when I wake up. Then I question myself... "Are we doing the right thing by being apart?" Back then, when we discussed that I will stay here in the Philippines, it somehow made sense... But now, I don't know anymore... " Why I am still here? What am I doing here?". I realized that time is indeed precious. When it's gone, you could never take it back. We never know know when God will call us to be by HIs side. It maybe today, tomorrow, the week after, 10 years, 20 years... only God knows... I don't want to wake up one day (or not wake up) with only regrets that we spent much of our days apart.
