Love???

"Love is difficult. For one human being to love a another human being, that is the most difficult task that's been trused to us, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation."

(Rainer Maria Rilke, "Letters to a Young Poet")

(A music video with Kevin and Chad from "Brothers and Sisters". The song is "If It's All I Ever Do" by Anders Johansson.)

CHANCE OR CHOICE...

When we meet the right person to love when were at the right place at the right time. That’s chance. When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice, that’s chance. Being caught up in a moment is not a choice. That’s also a chance. The difference is what happens afterward. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That’s when all sanity goes back; you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that’s not a chance. That’s choice. When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that’s choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, or the world is against your relationship with him, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s choice. YOUR CHOICE....

You have the chance to meet HIM but it's your CHOICE to love him...

Points to PONDER...

Guess what? When it comes right down to it, wherever you go, there you are...

Whatever you wind up doing, that's what you've wound up doing...

Whatever you are thinking, that's what's on your mind...

Whatever has happened to you, it has already happened. The important question is, how you are going to handle it? In other words, "Now what?"

(Jon Kabat-Zinn, "Wherever You Go, There You Are," [Hyperion])

First Impression...

Love begins with physical attraction. Theres is always something
physically unique about each person that strikes your attention. It is
these special qualities thats makes up the character of a person - some
things that can never be taken away from him. They are what makes a
person valuable & lovable as a human being, that makes him worthy
are priceless possession, short of anything that makes for vanity.
(Johnny C. Young)

What do you think is this necessarily true... anyhow I think we have all our definitions of what makes a FIRST IMPRESSION...

Perfect???

"PERFECTIONISM DOESN'T MAKE YOU PERFECT. IT MAKES YOU FEEL INADEQUATE. You are not worthless because you can't do it all. You are human. You can't escape that reality, and you can't expect to. Self-acceptance is the goal."

- Maria Shriver (Ten Things I Wish I'd Known)

Nothing New...

Yesterday I have applied for a job in one of the biggest telecom company here in my place... It went well , & I am feeling good about it, I just hope it goes well... Its been more than a year that I don't have a job... Well, my fault... but not all... this place really sucks & doesn't offer much employment opportunity... I have two options, whether to go to Cebu or Manila to look much better options there... problem is that I got no place to go & really needs a lot of "you-know" to be able to survive there... I miss working, being with clients, being able to help & show your what you got :) ... Just wish me luck guys!...

care,
Ralph

I'm still alive...

Been living in a fantasy... now... back to reality... yes, I'm hurt, disappointed, rejected, almost all the worst feelings I feel it today... so easy to say "I'll move on," but so hard to do... I don't know... life is truly unfair...
