after the not so important, but highly-emotional post..

I have to delete messages from my phone.. masyadong marami nagmamahal saken kaya marami ng laman ang inbox ko.. ^_^

Pero dahil mahal ko rin sila, their messages won’t go unnoticed.. and I want to share those messages with you.. they’ve touched my heart.. I hope they’ll touch yours too..

**We cry when our hearts couldn’t hide the pain anymore.. cry if you want.. THAT’S NOT A WEAKNESS. It actually heals the wounds that laughter can’t cure.

**Law of Reality: Never ever argue with UGLY people. They have literally and figuratively NOTHING TO LOSE. *wink* [I’m sorry, nakakarelate talaga ako.. haha.. ang dami kasing ugly people sa paligid ko e.. hehe.. ugly as in, hindi maganda ang ugali..]

**Don’t go for someone who’s always telling you how perfect you are, because you’re not. Find someone who will tell you exactly what he/she thinks of you. Someone who will tell you how irritating and impossible you can be. Someone who gives compliments at the right time. Someone who will laugh at your clumsiness, but will still love you for it. Someone who won’t be afraid in telling you the truth. Because only those can be honest and loyal up to the very end.

**A big jar full of water gets emptied by just a small hole. Even a little ANGER or PRIDE will drain all the nobility of a good heart. Stay humble. [enough said.]

**The measure of a matured person is not how well they prepare for everything to go right.. but on how they stand up and move on after everything went wrong.

**Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you don’t have. Rather, remember that what you have now was once among the things you only hoped for.

**Love is.. when my granny had arthritis, and couldn’t paint her nails.. my grandpa did it for her.. even though he had arthritis too. [cute^_^]

**Age appears to be the best in some things.. old wood – best to burn.. old authors – best to read.. old wine – best to drink.. and old friends – still, the best to keep. [agree!]

**People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out. But when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. [Elizabeth Kübler-Ross]

**In life, always remember one thing before doing something good or bad.. what you do is what defines you.

**A broken trust can be best described as a crumpled piece of paper – no matter how hard you try to straighten it out, it will never return on its true form.

**A GUY WHO TRULY LOVES HIS GIRL DOES NOT NEED TO UNBUTTON HER SHIRT TO HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF HER HEART. [attention: guys! ^_^]

**When you feel like quitting, ask this question: did God ever stop doing good things in my life? If not, why give up?

**NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU FEEL, LONELINESS WILL FADE AND EVEN DISAPPEAR WHEN YOU FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THINGS YOU’D LIKE TO EXPLORE. THERE’S A WHOLE WORLD OUT THERE. SOMETIMES, IT’S BETTER TO HAVE TIME ALONE, TO HAVE THE COMPLETE FREEDOM TO DO THINGS, WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WILL SAY. IN THE END, YOU DON’T REALLY HAVE TO THINK OF YOURSELF AS A LONELY PERSON.. JUST SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN ENOUGH SPACE TO GROW. [I’m someone who has been given so much space to grow. ^_^]

**It’s never the tears that measure the pain.. sometimes, it’s the smile we fake just to show others we’re ok.

**Everybody wants happiness. No one wants pain. But how can you make a rainbow without a little rain? ^_^

**God uses the opposite situation of each fruit to allow us a choice. You can’t claim to be good if you’ve never been tempted to be bad. You can’t claim to be faithful if you’ve never had the opportunity to be unfaithful. Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest. Humility grows when we refuse to be prideful. And endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up. Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus.

**The best feeling in the world is realizing you’re perfectly happy without the thing you thought you needed the most. [super agree! I thought he was everything I needed and the only thing that’s lacking in my life.. I was devastated when our story ended that soon.. but now I can say that I am truly happy even without him.. oh yeah! ^_^]

While writing this blog post, ang daming pumapasok sa utak ko.. naisip ko pa ngang baka masyadong mayabang ang maging dating ng nauna kong post.. pero anong magagawa ko, yun ang nararamdaman ko e.. I’d rather be true than pretend to be someone ideal.. again, this is me.. whatever you think or say about me doesn’t change who I really am.. and I won’t change just to gain your approval.

God bless everyone! May you find the peace and the happiness just as I have. ^_^
