“Naglahong Pag-ibig”
By Anonymous

I love to read this poem when I was having a heart break…Hope you can also relate what the poem wants to convey..(this is just an exerpt)

Sanay muli kong marinig,
Awit mong kay tamis at kay lambing,
Tinig mong sumasabay sa hangin,
Pag-ibig ang sigaw ng damdamin.


Sanay muli mong sambitin,
pag-ibig mong alay sa’kin
pangako mong di ako sasaktan,
sanay hindi ito malimutan.


Ngunit ikaw ay biglang nagbago,
Pinaluhat sinaktan ako,
Pag-ibig sa puso’y tuluyang naglaho,
Lubusang naparam pati ang pangako.


Masdan mo ako aking sinta
Lumuha sa hirap at tigib ng dusa.
Binulag mo yaring mga mata,
Ako ba talaga’y wala ng halaga?


Akala mo yata’y di ako magtatampo,
Ngunit mali ka, ako’y marunong mahapo.
Ibinigay ko ang lahat ng ibig mo,
Wala ngang naiwan kundi pawang bakas ko…

Joe d’ Mango’s Love Notes

I just want to share this beautiful message with you. Hope that these thoughts about love will inspire you especially to those people who experienced failures and heartaches. A very heart melting thoughts…


When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a true love, you view the past as a teacher.
In the game of love, it doesn’t really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know how to hold on and when to let go!
You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy even if their happiness means that you’re not part of it. Everything happens for the best.
If the person you love doesn’t love you back, don’t be afraid to love someone else again, for you’ll never know unless you give it a try.
You’ll never love a person you love unless you risk for love.
Love strives in hurting. If you don’t get hurt, you don’t learn how to love.
Love doesn’t hurt all the time, though the hurting is still there to test you, to help you grow.
Don’t find love, let love find you. That’s why it’s called falling in love because you don’t force yourself to fall. You just fall.
You cannot finish a book without closing its chapter. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.
Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single cares, it is a lifetime venture in which we are learning, discovering and growing.
The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go.
We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves.
On falling out of love, take sometime to heal and then get back on the horse. But don’t ever make a mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time.
To love is to risk rejections, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing!
To reach for another is to live risk involvement, to expose true self; to love is to risk not to be love in return.
How to define love: fall but not stumble, be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, hurt but never keep the pain.
Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can curve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime.
Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.
Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where they choose to be.
For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and fruitful years, you should give thanks for you know that these were the things which help you grow.
Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way, whether it leads towards you or away from you.
Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you’ll experienced the fullness of humanity and that is love.
Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart. Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.
If you’re not ready to cry, if you’re not ready to take the risk, if you’re not ready to feel the pain, then you’re not ready to fall in love.
When you decide to love, allow it to grow. When you promise to love, refuse to let it die…

this is my life...

In remembering myself as a child, I find it hard to separate from my family. As I open my eyes in the morning, my father left our house to work. Things were running smoothly everyday mother is busy doing house hold chores. A smile or affectionate pat from them is like a gift from heaven. I never identified this specialness as being one of the blessings of having my family. Although our everyday journey in life is full of surprises and dilemma, my brothers and sisters are loving and kind to me. I am friendly, very approachable person, simple, sometimes naughty but sweet, loves listening rhythm and blues and love songs. I am found of reading poems also. My tummy gets upset when I eat vegetable like “saluyot” and “okra”. “Yuck!” I hate to see rats because of their looks and I really like stuff toys and roses... Hmmn… I love those things coz I feel so special and pretty.
Now that I am a full-fledged lady, I am now ready to face the world and old enough to become an independent daughter to my parents.
My parents couldn’t afford to send me in college so I decided to work in different store at fast food chains. I used to work not only for the pursuant of my studies but also to support my family in all our basic needs. It’s really hard for me to manage my time. To wake up early is not too easy for me…Instead of hanging out with my friends, I need to do all my projects or rehearsing for my reports in school. During my spare time, I’d rather choose to sleep at home rather than going somewhere else…but it’s ok! I know that to become a successful, you need to sacrifice such things even your happiness…
My tears were running every time I remember my dad. He passed away two years ago. Well, I considered it as one of the saddest part of my life. He is a naughty man and despite of being strict to us especially to me, he’s kind and a loving father. I really love him and I miss him. I know that he’s always at my side…”I miss you so much papa”!!!
But life must go on…whatever ordeals that may come, I need to be strong. I don’t have a self confidence but ill try to be strong…
Before I sleep at night, I use to look at the stars and start to mesmerize all my dreams. I want to finish my studies in college and to get a stable job. After 10 years, I want to manage my own internet café and a mini grocery for my family and to have a successful married life. I hope that this is not just a dream but a dream come true.
