IF GIVEN A CHANCE TO SEE IN THREE DAYS

Have you ever heard or come across the name Helen Keller? The woman who became blind at an early age but never lost hope of seeing the world?

She has often though it would be a blessing if every human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time. According to her, darkness perhaps would make her more appreciative of sight and silence would teach her the joys of sound.

If she got so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight?

If given a three days to use her eyesight, she wishes to divide the period in three days. On the first day she would want to see the people whose generosity and companionship had made her life worth living. She would like to see into their hearts true friendship. How many of those eyes are normal can see the inner nature of friendship? Isn’t it true that most of those seeing people grasp casually the outward features of face and let it go at that?

Then she would feast her eyes of a baby; so she could visualize the innocent beauty which presides the person’s consciousnesses of the conflicts which life develops. Then Helen should like to see the books which had been read to her and which had revealed to her the deepest mysterious of human life.

In the afternoon, she would like to take a long walk in the woods and see the beauties of the wolrd of nature, and glorify the splendor of the colorful sunset.

In the second day, she wishes to arise with the dawn and see for herself the exciting miracle by which night is transformed into day. This day she would like to go to the museum to get a glimpse of the past and present world, especially the art museum. The paintings of Michelangelo, Picasso, and the other great world painters would surely amuse her. Artists use to tell her that for a deep and true appreciation of the art one must educate the eyes.

In the evening of the second day, she would like to spend at a theater or at the movies. How she should like to see Hamlet staged, Pavlova Provette in her light fantastic toes. How wonderful to see grace in motion.

On the third day, she would like to spend in workaday world, a world where men  do brick business. The city becomes her destination. Helen would stand in a busy corner merely looking at people. When they smile, she is happy; when they are determined, she proud; and when she sees suffering, she is compassionate. At a later time, she would make a tour of the city — to the slums, to factories, to parks where children play. Always, her eyes will be opened wide to all sights o both happiness and misery; so that she may probe deep and add to her understanding of how people work and live.

On the third day of sight, Helen would like to engage on may serious pursuits. Of course in those three short days she could not have seen a ll she wanted to see. Only when darkness had again come should realize how much she had left unseen.

Yes! It’s over symptoms

Breaking up when nothing’s wrong

Every romance hits a few dry spells, but if you can’t remember the last time you laughed together or got frisky in a new way, it might be time to reconsider your relationship. Did your weekend getaway fail to inject some energy? Did that last birthday gift fizzle upon reception? Sometimes there’s nothing tangibly “wrong,” but a kite with no wind to keep it aloft isn’t going anywhere but the ground, if you get my drift. Without a concrete, acceptable reason to break up with someone (infidelity, drama, PETA-supporting vegan vs. rodeo-loving carnivore), many couples simply continue to tread water in their dead-end relationships. Other times, one partner’s passive aggressive behavior — such as becoming increasingly distant, or engaging in acts of sabotage — pushes the other into initiating the split. When you sense that your love’s flatlining on the table, it’s time to either bust out the defibrillator or agree to call it a day. 

Some twosomes weren’t meant to last for years or culminate in delightful arguments over stroller foldability on the lower level of Buy Buy Baby. Does your own love life suffer from one of these “Yes, it’s over” symptoms?

1. Depression: Ennui has set in, followed by many romance-free months, joyless outings, and a decline in one or both partners’ personal hygiene and fashion choices. 
2. Histrionics exhaustion: Your girl was super-cute and charming at first, but now her yo-yo dieting, social circle freak-outs and nightly bubble bath habit makes envisioning a conjoined future with her now utterly impossible.
3. Instability jitters: Your guy’s up-and-down freelancing career was to be expected right out of college, but after a few years, you’re longing for a steady paycheck, a regular work schedule and the condo life together.
4. Routine boredom: Is this love a pretty package tied up with a big, beige bow? Don’t mistake contentment with settling for less than you deserve.
5. Gapping (in age, income, lifestyle): Being a sugar daddy or sugar mama can be fun for awhile, but any twenty-something’s penchant for all-night clubbing followed by French fry binges can eventually clash with your morning meetings (and cholesterol count).
6. Ambition inequality: She wants a multi-carat ring and career acclaim; he’s cool with living with a roommate… or maybe moving to Santa Monica, but only if he could sell his 1978 set of Topps baseball cards on Craigslist for the right price. 
7. Roving eye syndrome: After a flurry of flirty text messages and secret lunches, one of you has enjoyed a first kiss with a new paramour and an affair seems inevitable. Moral issues aside, sometimes it takes getting hot for someone else to realize how chilly your current relationship’s become. 

Is this the Love Boat… or a sinking ship?
Before deciding to move on from a ho-hum relationship, try this “Ultimate Fantasy” scenario: Imagine yourself on a luxurious vacation — whether it’s six months of island-hopping in the South Pacific, helicopter-skiing in the remote Alps, or five-starring it in Paris. You’ll need a companion for the greatest trip of your life. Is it your current flame? An ex that you let slip away? A brewing love interest on the sidelines, maybe? Or some mystery/fantasy person you haven’t even met yet? The answer that first comes into your mind should illuminate the state of your current relationship — especially if it’s stalled and sputtering. 

Breakin’ up is hard to do
Short-term affairs can be ended quickly with one phone call (or two unreturned phone calls), but significant splits are rarely quick and should always be done in person. Even after being prepped for the act by friends and reference books, breakups are hardly clean, linear and controlled, like a PowerPoint presentation (The Good Times Recap, Why It’s Not Working Out, My Reasons, My Condolences, Questions and Comments?). Most begin with the “big talk” before devolving into explanatory emails, emotional texts, and swan-song kisses — then, finally, a true separation. In lieu of a clean-cut split, some couples opt to downshift by taking a break first. This weaning period helps soothe the ache for companionship and helps both parties answer an important question: Is this a case of “absence makes the heart grow fonder,” or is it really “out of sight, out of mind?” Regardless of the answer, during those final throes, don’t mistake that jolt in your pulse from finally doing the right thing with false readings of love’s pulse. 

Just a spoonful of “Honey, we need to talk…”
Breakups are usually hashed out through expressing your feelings while avoiding the specifics: “I’m just not happy,” “I feel trapped,” “I don’t want to keep holding you back.” With no villain or bad behaviors to focus the blame on, it’s best to keep the harsh “You’re not going anywhere and your famous lasagna sucks” statements to yourself. Instead of making accusations, frame your reasons for breaking up around the goals you’ve made for yourself and the relationship’s incompatibility with those goals, such as: “I’m hoping to get married someday and I don’t think we’re headed that way” or “I love your band, but life on the road isn’t for me.” Exes who still work together, helped the other find a new partner, or stay in touch online are proof that even when love can’t go the distance, peaceful goodbyes are possible. In fact, these kinds of breakups bode well for former lovers who can enjoy a genuine, lasting friendship once time has passed and there’s nothing more at stake than a cup of coffee together, figuring out how to avoid similar relationship mistakes in the future by dissecting what went wrong and learning from it. 

It’s all about perspective
Are you wary of pulling the plug because going solo sounds scary and lonely? It takes some healthy self-esteem and a dash of courage to realize that it’s better to be happy and alone than to suffer with perpetual malaise in a relationship where nobody’s thriving. If you believe there’s probably a better partner or relationship out there for you, staying with the wrong person just because it’s easier than initiating a split severely limits your chances of finding what you really want. Potential suitors can spot unhappiness miles away, and that sourpuss look on your face invites only sympathy, not friendly conversation. Plus, when the right one does come along, is dissolving your doomed duo to date someone else an honorable way to end things? There may be a universe of singles dying to ask you out, but don’t expect to attract any worthwhile candidates until after you’ve ended this tepid twosome and extinguished your NO VACANCY light.

:(

hmmmm, don’t know how to start. Uhmm I’m still quite upset, how our lives been going through. Hindi ko alam kung ano nagawa namin kung bakit ganitokami ngayon. We are trying to be a good Junakis pero ewan ko ba? ganoon ba kami ka-pasaway?) But somehow I feel very lucky to I know that I HAVE HIM, I mean WE HAVE HIM. I know His only giving this such THING for us to be able to have a strong faith. We’re not ill or there’s no one in the family has sick or whatever. But Its our hearts who has, you know “our heart is aching”. 

I want to cry in pain,

kaso hindi pwede baka umiyak din yung dalawa hehehe. I want to show them na I’m a strong ATE.

tatago na lang ako pag naiyak na ako hehehe. 

Sobra akong galit ngayon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope we are just having a wild thoughts!!!! 

Is he giving her a full attention? na hindi mo makita samin? ganon ka ba kadesperado? God forgive me!!!

Ang sama na ng iniisip ko sayo!!!! 

hay!!! this is enough!! may takot pa din ako sa diyos sobra na kasi pambabastos ko sayo (in mind only, afraid to utter those words, but theres no difference kasi naisip ko hindi ko lang nasambit ganun din yun!!!) at sayo.. wala kami magawa!! hindi namin alam kung bakit nagkakaganyan ka!!! at nagawa mo yun!!!!

Doubts

I’m afraid he’s here…

trying to collect fear.

a person i love to be.

Don’t make me feel doubt baby.

I don’t know of much of you.

I’m begging you,

don’t make me feel this way…

I might collapse and sway

our relationship might be ended,

soon that i might regret.

I love you ♥

My heart has issues

It takes a lot of courage for me to write here in my blog site. It’s something that used to think twice before i come up with the decision. Now.. here

This past few weeks and days, I learned some lessons!!(let’s be naive) Don’t be-friend a guy who is in a current relationship! especially if the people surrounds you gives a false interpretation. Hindi ko alam na minasama na pala yung pagiging friendly ko. Given that there are people around you that are pebble minded rather I should say malicious people.(didn’t mean to hurt or offend anyone, it’s just the reality) And to those people that i love and i give importance that i thought believes in me though i know they care for me a lot that’s why they are protecting me from insults..e ayon naniniwala din. Haba ng hair ko abot hanggang makati! I think need ko na magpagupit. I don’t have intentions!! Im not a home wrecker as y’all thought about me.( i don’t know who thinks hehehe)

I you think I am guilty beyond your reasonable doubts?wala naman ako magagawa kung ayaw niyo maniwala eh.

Ok lang din sakin of you make jokes about it!Pero… may nasasaktan. There’s one person, maybe she used to laugh at the jokes you crack about the issue, but deep inside of her, she’s hurting!! Soo much! and I know konti na lang galit na sya sakin (I love her much huhuhu, and im so sorry)!! Ok lang sana kung nandun ako, at least ako yung sasalo sa mga jokes na masakit, unfortunately sya yung sumasalo, at masakit pa dun naniniwala sya :(

At this of time.. i don’t know how to react, but i still manage to smile. Ganito pala feeling ng nasasakdal hahaha… hindi mo kaya i-explain ang side or ang sarili mo, hindi mo alam kung may maniniwala sayo…lalo na sa mga mapang-husgang tao.

let me tell you, ako dati yung nag-aaway, I was fooled by someone that haayy I used to love, friend sympathies in me and calling the the gurl Bitch who stole my man! now im facing the other side, accusing me for something i did not! Now I know the feeling, the blame is on me!! the wrecker, the bitch as she has just said earlier!!! say what you need to say…

Well (sigh) I want to say sorry!! Sorry for causing such trouble!! Sorry for causing pain in someone’s heart, because of what happened I become a more open minded person!! I hope this issue will last soon!! Nakakapagod!! hmmmmm,

If it’s not real you can’t hold it in your hands.

Should I still hold on? or should i let you go?

Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I’ve had long enough with you

But there’s one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way

And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
