Yes, He *is* an all-powerful Author. 

But remember that when it comes to YOUR life, 
He made YOU the all powerful author, too. 

Fact is, He gave you the Gift of Free Will 
Because He knows Love is an amazing Adventure of growth 
So it has to be something you Choose 

It can’t be an inevitable chapter you wait for 
and just passively go through.

I was about half in love with her 
by the time we sat down.

That’s the thing about girls.

Every time they do something pretty… 
you fall half in love with them,
and then you never know where the hell you are.

- Holden Caulfield
in J. D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye”

October 2009 and April 2012.

Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can… And dont put off being happy until some future date.”

fits the ‘pink mood’ perfectly. =P reminded me of my favorite movie flashback to highschool days. 

Me on my 28th birthday and what I’d like to describe: my life after a year of ‘lent’. And while we celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord, some have been asking as well, how my lovelife was (seriously, out of the blue?). 
with that picture, I wrote the caption:“There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.”
and ex-mom-in-law replied (after I greeted her a ‘happy easter’):  ”happiness is having spices on wounds as antiseptic and aloe to heal and soothe breaks and tears Sid Cardenas.”
funny. weird. sweet. (dont want to include ‘pathetic’! XD)

I’ve been doing photography for quite some time. How would it feel if I’m the model of these students for a change?! Funny to consider ourselves as guinea pigs for the Fashion Marketing/Photography class.

…and a student just asked where was her ISO settings. btw, she’s paying roughly P200K for her semester fee. shit! =)

Just because you eventually realized
That you weren’t the match for each other
That you hoped & thought you were
Does not mean you have to rewrite the Love Story you once shared.

Because he DID love you when he said he did
And she truly BELIEVED in you at the time she said so.
Nothing can change those moments
It was still your Love Story
And it always will.

Maybe it’s time to move on to a New Chapter
But you don’t need to close the Book of Love.
Every Chapter that came before can only lead to the Next One
And all these Past Chapters say the same thing:
Love will always be a part of your Life.

And just like with all Stories
(as Leo Tolstoy says),
“Everything is alright in the end.
If it’s not yet alright
Then it’s not yet the end.”

—————————————————————————
the most vivid nightmare that i had when i was a kid was when my lola let go of my hand while we were walking towards her house. i got scared and cried even if i could see her house in less than a hundred meters away. the sky was so dark, it could rain anytime soon. she kept on walking without looking back at me. i called her but it was as if she didn’t hear me. that’s why seeing dark, heavy clouds give me an odd feeling. was it an omen of potent things to come?

when i was young and were exiled then in bulacan, my lola visits us when she can. she’s very lakwachera by nature. but even if she visits us as frequent as every other week, i (for some unknown reasons) cry everytime she leaves. it’s not a whining-kind of cry but tears that i need to hide from everyone to be spared from sermon and embarrassment (oo, tin and nani. if you’re reading this, you’d really laugh. insane but true). same goes after christmas and summer breaks that i get to spend staying with her. one time when it really got the hell out of me, i gave her the hair clip that my crush actually gave me during the christmas party. considering that her hair is usually boyish short at curled, it was stupid to give the clip. but i did together with a short note explaining…(i forgot. i think i let go of the fears of why i hate seeing her alone. for some unknown reasons i always wanted to be just close to her). then i left it on her drawer before i left. note that i was only 9 or 10 or 11 then.a few years later, i accidentally found it where she kept the letter and the gift. she even wrote a small note as a reminder of the person who gave it. thinking about it now, i used the hair clip (with her permission). as for that old letter, i have no idea.

sometimes it gets me into thinking, ‘would it have been better if i wasn’t really close to her? if she wasnt that much part of my life? so that in cases like this, would it have been less painful?’ how could you look forward to a sunday when you be having any cheek to kiss to (and who kisses you back) anymore?
 

reality hits me that i just cant whine so much about being unfortunate right now. i may have a very dear person who’s at the brink of her life but my two college bestfriends have both lost their dads already and a cousin who lost his mom. how could you compare the pain that they had with yours right now?


we all know that there’s only one ending in this life. we all know that it could happen to anyone anytime soon. but we’re always in this denial stage that it couldnt possibly be happening to us. it could happen to anyone except to us and anyone dear to us.

was it better that she didnt know the whole truth? is it a better choice to not tell the patient the gravity of her disease?

upon knowing the dreadful news, i prayed for three things: (1) to keep the faith amidst this trial; (2) endurance, and; (3) to be her pillar of strength until the last day. i think asking for a longer life is a selfish wish of holding on. what i wanted was to be ready for whatever there is to come. and i couldnt stand seeing her suffer silently.

is this the part where i should bargain for miracles? is this the part where i would hysterically wail “WHY?!?!”

being a pillar of strength is taking its toll on me- physically and emotionally. i could explain it as a matter-of-fact to anyone who asks but at the end of the day, and when im alone, that’s when the time it hits me most. i am scared. really scared.


seeing how my parents react to this crisis somewhat amuses me. my mother hides her emotions perfectly well. you cant imagine she acts as if it’s just any other day. of course at one part, she also broke down. she keeps everything to herself. so much like me prior to blogging days. on the other hand, my father had to vent it out. he looks for other activities to release the tension. he talks to me a lot lately about anything to amuse ourselves. that’s what im trying to do right now. doing eveything just to release the tension. im trying to make myself or at least any one laugh with…whatever.
 


yes. deep inside im paranoid. im not ready to lose someone that’s very dear to me right now. it cant be right now.


“…suffering is never the end point of a situation but always the opportunity for something greater – a greater trust in God’s love; an opportunity to intercede for others’ salvation; the options are numerous…”

Lord, You are worthy of trust. I replace my fears with faith in You.
