Life After Love

So, you’ve found out that Mr. or Miss Right isn’t the soul mate you’ve always dreamed about. Now what? The period of loss and pain doesn’t have to extend on to an eternity of what ifs. After spending a few days wallowing in self-pity, you’ll probably want to start making a few steps towards life after love. To help ease this transition, try a few of the following ideas.

Keep a daily journal.
Letting loose on your emotions is a quick and self-healing way to recover from incidents of loss and pain. This is especially true of keeping a journal. Make a commitment to write for at least a few minutes every day.

Learn at least one new thing a day.
Keep your mind busy with new information. Whether you decide to learn a new word or how to do something new on your computer, it will help you keep moving forward instead of looking back.

Take a daily walk.
Get yourself out and about with a 20 to 30 minute walk. Just the constant, repetitive motion of moving your legs one after another is enough to help you put things in perspective.

Go out with yourself.
Just because you are not attached to someone doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy going out. Think of it as a chance to go to all the places you’ve always wanted to go.

Develop a hobby.
Maybe there is something you’ve always wanted to learn how to do. Now is the perfect opportunity to develop it! Try anything from bicycling, joining a walking club, sewing, bodyboarding or surfing, learning how to watercolor, or cooking.

got this msg early from somebody i used to LOVE…

who should be blame when a leaf fell from a tree? is it the wind that blew it away? or the tree that let it go? or is it the leaf itself which never held tight?

my reply to his msg was…

when the leaf becomes dry, withered and has no more life, why blame the leaf, the tree or the wind. when nature calls for it to fall?

What hurts…
- letting go of a person you’ve just learned to love
- reminiscing the good times you shared together
- shielding your heart to love somebody
- trying to hide what you really feel
- trying to hide the tears that involuntarily fall from your eyes
- loving a person too much
- giving up someone you never thought of giving up
- having the right love at the wrong time
- taking the risk to fall in love again
- hiding your relationship from someone else
- controlling your feelings to avoid hurting a friend
- Thinking of him every waking and sleeping moment knowing all the while that he never even thinks a single thought of you…
- letting go, because everytime you see the person, you only fall deeper
- holding back only to find out when it’s too late,you both felt the same way, but were only scared to lose each other so much that you didn’t let the feelings out
- falling in love with someone you didn’t mean to fall in love with
- finding the perfect guy with only one problem, he doesn’t love you
- helping the one you love "make ligaw" to your friend
- seeing the one you love crying for someone else
- the waiting also hurts like hell
- Having to hear "… I’ve met someone"
- Agreeing to his wish to ‘just be friends’.
- asking his freedom back because ‘he’d be happier with her’
- Asking you to ‘forget that everything happened’ and be ‘normal’ friends again.
- hearing that you’re treated as a little sister
- sharing his future plans for the girl with you
- You stopped being friends because his girlfriend asked him to.
- being denied in front of people
- telling you lies where he’d been when actually, he was with a ‘new friend’ or an ‘old flame’
- he told you he’d be leaving you to return to his ex
- breaking someone’s heart
- Fighting for that one thing that would make you happy that is, holding on to a person who can not guarantee you his commitment unless he fix himself…then, you are left hanging for the moment…then he says, time will tell, but you still
decided to hope in him and trust him…
- PRETENDING you’re OK when inside you’re dying
- PRETENDING to be strong…. and RECOGNIZING your weakness
- Lying in bed each night, thinking of that special person you can never have…
- Being with someone you can’t actually love…
- Pretending you don’t love a person whom you actually love…
- Being in love…
- letting go even if you really don’t want to… having no right to say you are hurting because it was your decisio
- Seeing the person you love hurt because of you… and not being able to help that person…
- having the courage to say I LOVE YOU to the person you love and finding out afterwards that things will never be the same again when he doesn’t treat you with the same closeness as before
- having to face the fact that someone is capable of completely destroying the wall that you have set for yourself, leaving you weak and vulnerable
- admitting that you love someone despite his imperfections
- finding out that the more you try to hate him, the more you end up loving him, perhaps even more than before
- Realizing how stupid your mistakes was that led to your break-up.
- the thought that this guy, used to really love you and you loved him as well but you didn’t give enough and he gave up on you
- Sharing the one you love with SOMEBODY else…"
- Making a promise and realizing that when the time has come for that promise to be delivered, the commitment is no longer there.
- The hardest thing about love - believing it exists.
- After you’ve been hurt, learning to forgive, learning to trust and love again.

- BUT THE HARDEST THING REALLY IS LEARNING TO LOVE
YOURSELF. WE ALWAYS FORGET TO DO THIS. ALWAYS

Tell-tale Signs that It’s Love, Love, Love

You’ve got butterflies, good conversation, maybe even great sex, but sometimes it can be difficult to be sure if it’s love. How do you decipher whether the feeling in the pit of your stomach is the nervous quivering of anticipation or yesterday’s lunch? Luckily, Lovingyou.com knows that “fools in love” are easy to spot. Here are some tell-tale signs that it just be might be love, love, love.

You are best friends. You laugh with them more than anyone else. The feelings of anticipation, passion, and connection are mutual. You remember little things about each other like their favorite foods, the places they want to visit and why, their views on everything from politics to fashion, and what they love about their closest buddies, but is it enough? Take a look at these signs to be sure.

What he’ll do:

• Put you on his “A” list (pay attention — You’ll know if you’re not on it)
• Introduce you to his family
• Make plans for the future (near and far)
• Do things outside of his “box” with you
• Share his secrets and his dreams for the future with you
• Worry about impressing your friends
• Come right over when you ask him to
• Try to do things that comfort you or relieve some of your stress (like surprise you with dinner on a night you are working, rub your feet, or ask about your day)
• Appreciate and reciprocate your feelings and your actions like giving you a massage after he gets one from you, doing the dishes after dinner, or sending you a gift

What she’ll do:

• Share her embarrassing moments and fantasies with you
• Little things all throughout the day that let you know she’s thinking about you
• Fantasize about her life with you, getting married, having kids, growing old, traveling the world, etc.
• Tease you
• Hang out with your mother or talk to her on the phone
• Appreciate and reciprocate your feelings and your actions, like offering to pay for dinner, getting tickets to a game or event she knows you’ll love, or cooking for you
• Ask questions about your life — past, present, and future
• Flirt with you

How you’ll feel:

• Excited, yet relaxed
• Vulnerable, yet strong
• Comfortable enough to be yourself in front of them
• Like you want to include them in everything (but you won’t desert your usual crowd to be in a relationship with them)
• You’ll miss them when they’re not around
• You can’t wait to see them, talk to them, play with them, and kiss them
• You’ll find yourself wanting to make plans to have them all to yourself
• You’ll have urges to do romantic things (maybe on the verge of stalker-like things) that you never thought you’d never do

Signs that it’s not love:

• They blow you off or cancel dates
• Talking about commitment makes either of you uneasy or nervous
• Either of you are seeing other people
• Things are moving too quickly for one of you
• You find your partner lacking when compared to other people
• You watch a love scene in a movie or hear a love song and you feel a strong longing or desire for what you don’t have

Tips before you commit:

• Take the time to compare who you have with who you know deep down that you desire and deserve. Likewise, compare the relationship you have with the one you know you really want.
• Pay attention to how they treat their friends, family, business associates, and strangers. This is a good indication of how they will treat you over time and a big insight into their overall character.

Ask yourself how well you know them and how well they know you.

my opinion!

a noble project should not compromise its ideals with downright theft.

this is nothing different on letting a drug pusher get away with what he does because he gives most of his earnings to do good work and help the needy. Ano ito? Robin Hood? MAY GANON?!?

many artists and writers are being pawned and exploited by the sickening display of big broadcasting networks by trumping out and directly disregarding the IPR (intellectual property rights) Laws. We have laws. Alam ng GMA yan.

parang sinasabi mo na huwag na nating patulan ang mga ilang congressman ng nangungurakot dahil nakakatulong naman sila thru some of their foundations.

hinde iba yun sa situasyun ng ginawa ng GMA kay Mr. Granada. Humihingi ng supporta si Gary, bilang isang writer naiintindihan ko siya. ikaw siguro di mo makuha pinaglalaban niya eh. sa industriya ng showbiz, ang mga gahamang networks ay nakakalusot sa pagnanakaw ng mga concepts at ideas.

GMA's Foundation is a very noble organization, Yes we all agree to that (but sometimes i doubt both 2's and 7's charitable works kasi bakit kailangan pang itelevise yung mga pagtulong nila. bakit di na lang tumulong kung talagang noble. oh well just as they say in TV, helping out the poor is always "good tv"! kasi ratings iyan eh!)

But that does not mean that they have the rights to steal from someone. Do they?

hello!

Here are their meanings...

If you are a Dog:
A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little group of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Mouse:
Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what makes you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder, people seek for your company and look forward to include you for all get-together. However, you are sensitive, which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Lion:
Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

If you are a Cat:
An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you're cool, when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You're a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don't like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Turtle:
You are near to perfect and nice at heart. The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Dove:
You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of friends and good at consoling people in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love....

If you are a Panther:
You are mysterious.. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are a Monkey:
Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are

LOVE Speaks

Tech Support: Yes, ma’am, how can I help you?

Customer: Well, I’ve been having glitches and difficulties, and I’ve been strongly advised to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes, I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: I’m not very technical, but I’ll give it a try. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your heart drive. Have you located your heart drive ma’am?

Customer: Yes, but wait – several other programs are running right now. Is it okay to install Love while they’re running?

Tech Support: Which programs are running?

Customer: Let’s see…Past-Hurt, Low-Self-Image, Grudge, and Resentment at the moment.

Tech Support: Love will gradually erase past-Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low-Self-Image with a module of its own, called Self-Acceptance. However, you will have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. These programs prevent Love form being installed properly. Can you turn those off, ma’am?

Customer: I don’t know how. Can you explain?

Tech Support: Yes. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. You may have to perform the operation repeatedly before Grudge and resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, the process is underway – Love has started installing itself. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you only have the base program. You will need to begin connecting to others’ hearts in order to get needed upgrades.

Customer: Okay, I understand. Hey – my heart drive is up with new files already!

Tech Support: Good. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin to patch faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Self-Criticism form all directories and empty your recycle bin to make sure it’s not only completely gone but also never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Smile is playing on my monitor, and peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over my heart drive. Is this normal?

Tech Support: It happens sometimes, yes. Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually everything gets downloaded. So Love is installed and running? One more thing, then, before we hung up: Love is freeware. It was purchased for you many, many years ago. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return cool modules back to you.

Customer: I will do just that. By the way, what’s your name?

Tech Support: Call me the Divine Cardiologist, the Great Physician, or just “I AM”. Most people feel all they need is an annual checkup to stay heart-healthy; but the manufacturer (Me) suggests a daily maintenance schedule for maximum Love efficiency on the heart drive. Please contact Me any time for any reason.

(A dialogue from the book Breaking the Enemy’s Grip by Eddie Smith. By Bethany House Publishers, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 49516, U.S.A. © 2004)

“Put up with one another and forgive each other if anyone has a complaint against another. Just
as the Lord has forgiven you, you also should forgive.” -Colossians 3:13 (ISV)

“Above all, continue to love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” -1 Peter 4:8

“The first and often the only person to be healed by forgiveness is the person who does the forgiveness…When we genuinely forgive, we set a prisoner free and then discover that the prisoner we set free was us.” –Lewis Smedes

“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” -Mark Twain

Are you ready to be free? Or should I ask,
Are you ready to forgive?
