[life] set your goals then stride for them. if you don`t accomplish your goal, be happy that you`ve tried. take it as a lesson and experience from it. always be content of what you possesses, but never stop yearning for what you don`t have. love one another, especially your enemy. live today as if there is no tomorrow. live somehow where people will greet you with love not with hatred. after all, we only have one life on this earth to live. so make the best out of it!

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." -- Robert Frost

[love] A strong affection for or attachment to another person based on regard or shared experiences or interests. Of course there are so many other meaningful and deeply defintions of "love" but can we ever narrow/define it down to a single meaning? I guess not because we all have different experiences/aspects of love. What we do have in common is that we know it`s an affection/feeling that we cannot live without. Never expect love in return, just be content in your heart that you had the courage to express it out. "There are countless ways to express love. Be creative!" If you are "in love", I wish you the best. If you have someone in mind, dont be afraid to express your feeling or else it`ll be too late before you know it. If you are not in love, be happy still, for love will eventually arrive.

[friendship] a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. an acquaintance. someone who u share intimate moments with, both ups and downs. when you think of him/her, it brings a warm feeling in your heart and creates a smile onto your face.

"A new friend is like new wine; when it has aged you will drink it with pleasure." -- Ecclesiastes 9:10

[religion] I, myself is a christian. Frankly speaking, I do believe in God`s existence. without Him, i`m nothing. I thank HIM for all the blessings in my life. Though there are times where i collapsed in my faith, i still fight on and get back on track. There are always trials in my belief. I don`t believe because I have to. I believe because I want to. Of other religions, I have nothing against them. However, I pray that one day we will worship/serve under one god.

YOU, the Star Above

I'm wishing on a star b/c sweetie, it beautifies what you are. The brightest star of all that guided me through those sad and lonely nights. Without your light, where would I be, how would I deal with the vigorous darkishness that covered me whole in this unkind, shadowless night? Visioning it, it's miserable. Nights and nights of missing you. I need you here, is that too much to ask? Sparkles that are so clear and crisp when you're in sight in the blended dark blue sky. Only if you are here by my side? wow! You ARE bright,you are luminuous, you are unfading. Thus I know my gleamy star will always twinkle and shine, for it will be forever mine that I'm wishing upon.

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart. If you find someone else in love with you and you don’t love him/her, feel honored that you love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.

Remember that you don’t choose love. Love CHOOSES you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you. Give it to the others who deem poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in anyway you can. This is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin t look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes too. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your love, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do. Love always had been and always will be a mystery. Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life. If you keep your heart open it will come again. Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.
