Christmas, Just Around The Corner

Christmas, Love Is in the Air!

Christmas just around the corner and we feel more love is in the air. Some feels the mix emotions of being happy and feeling inside as well. Missing and longing for someone. We have some wishes on our minds, we have so many things in mind. The air feels so cold, and you will see some who are alone and some who choose to be alone.

But it is always nice to celebrate the holiday with someone, not necessarily with family, if they are far from you but Christmas is for sharing, it should put a smile on your face and peace in your heart. 

Although not everybody is really enjoying it, for some reason that is beyond their control, but in their hearts, they try to feel the happiness and some touch other lives without even knowing it.

It is sure better to give than to received for it is in giving that we can feel some peace and real happiness inside.It does not have to be material things that you can make someone happy, it could also be just being there for them, remembering them, when they think they have been forgotten.

Visiting someone that you havent seen for long time, can touch the heart. Forgiving someone that has hurt you and letting go of the pain, can make greater happiness inside you. 

Although it should not be just during holidays, that we should feel like giving, forgiving and caring. We can do this all year round.

It is not how much money we have, but it is what we give without taking that will give us real happiness. Feel the love and magic of Christmas.

Life may not be always easy, but with the love that is in the air, it makes everything easier, especially if it is shared with someone.

Long Distance Love Affair

Long distance relationship has been there for ages.  Some work just fine and some did not. In our modern times, with all the new ways of communicating, can really love last and blossom
into more meaningful and lasting one.

Are there more chances now?  How do you build a stronger foundation without being physically together. What about the longing for embrace and having someone closer, can it really work without the human touch.

With the heart connection, love over the net, phone calls, email and chat and the visit from time to time.  Your heart filled with gladness when he calls, but then you feel sad once he hang up and wonder what is next.

Spent every minute of every moment on every visit, making up for all the lost times and then it is a sad and teary good bye when it is parting time, reality bites.

Roses and chocolates that filled with love and kisses you received on some occasions...when roses dies and chocolates melted, then you long for him to be closer and misses him more and wonder how long the waiting will be?

You make plans, promises to make it work, but then the longing is getting stronger.  You say you trust each other, but then you sometimes wonder, who he might be with at this very moment. You are with your male friend and you wish you are with him, sharing the things, the laughter and time with him and sad part is, it is not possible at this time.....

Oh well, if you have choosen him and you love him...you are willing to take the risk, than never to try at all!  Not really matter if you are not together right now, because there will be time when there will be no goodbyes...It is really not how far or how close you are from each other, but it is the love that you feel for each other that matters, the trust, honesty, faithfulness and the never ending hope of making your Long Distance Love Affair last!!!

Long Distance Relationship

Second Chance

It is a wonderful feelings loving someone and feeling worst when things dont work out right.  You die inside and you wish you can turn back time, only to realize that it is too late for a second chance.

You ask forgiveness, while he pretend not to hear. You are hoping for a second chance and that things will still be the same, but things have change and the feeling is wounded.

You wish you can ease the pain he feels but he chose to just let you go and not look back, rather than have you and take that second chance of loving you back again.

You both let the time passes by, hoping you will soon forget, only to realize in the end that you can never loved anyone else as much as you have love him. The saddest thing in life is loving someone who used to love you.

Why do we choose to let go? No matter how much we cared and love that person, we rather deal with the pain of being alone rather than being happy.  Why it is so hard to forgive and we choose not to forget?

True love never gives up, it never judge, but love understand.  Love listen to the heart and mind gives no reason and never ask why, for only the heart can express what the mind cant.  While the love never really gone, it just stood there in the corner of your heart, longing, waiting for second chance....second chance that he will learn to forgive and take the chance of being with you again.....

The most wonderful feeling in life, is being with someone that you can not lived without. The happiest is spending the rest of your life together.

Love while you live, forgive while you can and be with that person you love,  rather  than be sorry in the end!

Second Chance

Best of Both Worlds

We try to find and build a good relationship. We do our best to make it work right. However, there are times that even we feel the fulfillment of having someone, we still try to find someone else and to have the best of both worlds.

We want the best of both worlds in whatever fields that is, But we should realize we can have a try a taste of it, but really cant have both as much as we would like, having both means 
having only half of each world.

While having a relationship with someone else can fill up what is empty but that does not mean doing it can complete you.  Having both world does not complete a person, can be satisfied for awhile but sooner or later you have to choose one, to be really happy.

Choosing to have both worlds, can ruin any good relationship and what you work hard for at the start.

Have what makes you really happy and have someone fills your heart and soul and not just someone satisfy your body. While it can boost your ego, you will soon realize that all is left is your ego and your heart feels empty and everything is wrong.

So why not just choose just having one, even if you can have
lots,because the bottom line could be not having anyone, REAL!

The best of both worlds is so inviting but would you choose
having both or be happy with what you have right now!!!

Loving Someone that Used to Love You

It's a wonderful feelings loving someone and feeling worst when things do not workout right. You die inside and you also wish you'll be able to turn back time, just to realize that it's far too late for a second chance.

You ask forgiveness, while he pretend not to hear.  You're wishing for the second chance and wishing things still the same, but everything has change and also the feeling is hurt. You wish you are able to relieve the pain he feels but he decided to just allow you to go and never glimpse back,he rather be alone than have you and  never consider that second chance of loving you back again.

Both of you allow the time goes by, wishing you will soon forget, just to realize in the long run that you can never love anybody else just as much as you've love him.  The saddest part of life is loving someone that used to love you.

So why do we choose to let it go, no matter of how much we cared and love that person, we choose to handle the pain of being alone instead having the person you love.  Why it's so difficult to forgive and that we choose never to forget?  Real love never gives up, it certainly not judge, and  love understand.  Love hear the heart, mind gives no reason and never ask why, for just the heart can convey just what the mind can not.

Although love never truly gone, it simply stood there in the corner of your heart, yearning, anticipating second chance, second chance which he shall learn to forgive and consider the chance of staying with you again.

One of the most wonderful feeling to have, is it being with someone that you cannot live with out. The most wonderful is spending your entire life with each other.  Love while you live, forgive while you can and stay with this person you adore, instead of being sorry in the long run!

Christmas Time During Recession

Christmas is just around the corner but how do you celebrate christmas during recession, when feeling so down surrounds you.

Christmas is just once a year but recession is here for long time now.  Lets look on the brighter side of
tomorrow.

Is it enough to have foods for Christmas time and then be worried the whole year through?  It is when we are about to give up, that things start to lighten up.  Looking at our child, while he is asking what is there for Christmas and wishing for things and hoping Santa Claus is real.  What can you give, if you are empty pocket and out of job?

Adult would understand what a child would find it hard to comprehend, “how come others can enjoy what i can not during Christmas time?  Give your child a tight hug and he will appreciate it for life. There are places you can go to that will not cost much but your child would appreciate.  The saddest feeling a Mother can have, is not being able to give what her child wants during this holiday and worst is not being able to provide for the coming days too.  But better opportunity might be on your way, when you least expect it.

What about feeling empty stomach for others, staying on the street while feeling so cold.  Feeling like nobody cares anymore.  In this busy world,especially during holidays, there are still people who really cares and it is not just by words but they are going around to share what they have, spreading love and giving hope to others.

Christmas brings hope and message that there is hope for tomorrow and every symbol of Christmas has a better message to offer.Keep dreaming, even if you are loosing hope.  Show your child the strength that they need, when they are feeling low. Keep your faith, your child would feel it.

Christmas during recession is not really so much fun, more worries sometimes, but there is life after  Christmas and there will always be days like that but we all know, things get better in time and we just have keep our faith, action and prayers together!

Share your blessing and put a smile on a child face and lightens the heart!

Feel Merry and Enjoy Christmas and have wonderful Holidays even during Recession!

Proposing during Valentine's Day is good time as well. Just choose an excellent place and something you know and feel she enjoys or she always talk about going to.

Bitter sweet, for those who don't have partner or who just broke up with their sweetheart.

This is the time in which lovers get busy, trying to think what could possibly be the best surprise for their other half. To surprise your sweetheart, understand what she/he enjoys and making something special out of it. Dinner date is going to be great, watching movie or quiet moment close to the seashore can be ideal.

Island of Boracay

Finally I was able to have vacation, my most awaited vacation. Been busy working and just could not find the time to do it, although I know I needed to make time for it.  Went to a very relaxing Island get away......

This is my most awaited and much needed vacation. So i grab the chance and had my 3 days stay relaxing get away in Boracay Island.

Maybe not everybody heard of Boracay Island, but i am sure most would know where Philippines is. Officially know as the Republic of the Philippines, country in Southeast Asia in the Western Pacific Ocean. It is also known the Pearl of the Orient. The Philippines is a humid and hot tropical country.

It has nice beaches that is considered by many travelers to be the World's Top Seaside Spots. And Boracay Island is just a short one hour flight from the bustling metropolis of Manila.  Manila is the Capital of the Philippines.

Although  Boracay Island is only 7kms.long, it is blessed with a multitude of picturesque coves, rolling hills and sandy beaches, including the world famous WHITE Beach. The place is wonderful. The combination of sparkling beauty and tourist attractions along this beach dominate the island.

If you are adventurous, a full array of scuba diving activities are available. The Island offers different kind of activities that you can enjoy during your visit, they have the Island Fun Tours, Buggy & ATV, Scuba Diving, Zipline and a lot more. I went for the Island Fun Tour,which was really fun, the view was amazing and i tried the Buggy as well. These activities can end up in an evening swim or you might simply prefer to lose yourself in the majesty of an ocean sunset. There are restaurant that offers really good food, from fresh sea foods to your favorite Pizza. The Island have so much to offer, from Live Band to just having a beer while sitting near the beach.

Most Hotels are near the beach and you can check on line, which one you prefer. It would be advisable to have Hotel reservations for a day, then you can look around if want to stay somewhere else or on other hotels. Hotels are close to each other, only some are located on a quiet beachfront. There is what they call station 1, station 2 and station 3. I think station 2 is where the Party place is.

I enjoyed my 3 days vacation, met some friends and took lots of pics too. Maybe i can go back there someday again, just not sure when. It is all worth it, so much fun and no wonder so many tourist are visiting Boracay, if you want to relax, then Boracay is One of the Place to be. It is also good to try other places, new views, new experience and new adventures. but need to work and to work on that...the budget,hehe!


Just a reminder, if you are planning to go for an Island Tour, Scuba Diving, Zipline and other activities in the island, it would be best to go around and check out offered prices because some of them are offering  free meal (for the island tour) eat all you can and other for lower deal. Look around and meet the friendly people of Boracay!


So if you want to try visiting the Philippines, you might want to try visiting Boracay Island. But in anywhere you go and any place, always be safe and never leave your things unattended, just be safe!

Here are some pics, few to share....
