A thousand words

I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily

I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily

"Save your tears 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say

"Wait for me, I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

'Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see, I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings

Oh, a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever

Oh, a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever

A visit to the Cemetery, A Glimpse of the Past

Yesteday is October 31, 2010.


And what do we celebrate on this date?


That's right!


It's HALLOWEEN!!

^_____^


We celebrated our Halloween at Tagaytay City where our relatives live. I managed to be with my uncles and a few cousins. Although the people I managed to be with are fewer than what I expected it to be, it was still fun. :D


Our first stop was the store of my grandmother. We stayed there for a few minutes waiting for my auntie and my little cousin to finish eating their lunch since they left home very early and arrived at noon time. While waiting, my uncle along with his wife and son came. We had a little talk and decided to bring them along the trip to the cemetery.

When we got to the cemetery it kinda made me reminisce a bit.

I remembered my childhood days.

The times when I used to collect melted candle waxes turning it into a wax ball. Me and my big brother used to do this every year. We would always challenge each other on who makes the biggest wax ball throughout the day. And sad to say that I always lose the challenge but it doesn't matter at least I always have fun collecting those candle waxes. Then when we got home, we play catch with those wax balls. If you're a bad catch, you're gonna get hit on the head and believe me IT HURTS! XD

I kinda miss those times.

There also came a time when I melted the wax ball and then made a brand new candle out of it. And since the wax ball is made from different candles of different colors, the candle turned color black and it looked morbid so I threw it away right after LOL!

Hey it scared the heck out of me you know! XD

Well anyway reminiscing that past of mine made me realize how carefree I was before unlike today.

I always used to have fun before for like everyday!

But now...

It's different.

Things have already changed.

I can't be that carefree kid anymore.

I'm growing up physically so I need to grow up in terms of acts and attitude as well.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I can't have fun every single day of my life.

I need to learn to become a little independent on some aspects.

I need to explore new things on my own.

I need to learn a few things on my own.

I know there are people who are always there to help me but I realized that they won't be there for the rest of my life. I need to learn how to handle myself.

I need to grow up!





But...



As long as I have the time to have fun.

I think I'll have fun.

They won't last very long either.

It's like what they said...








"You're never too old to have fun"




And besides!




Life is too short to live life too serious.

Promises

A promise is an oath wherein a person enters an obligation to do or not to do something.

Promises are very easy to make. It's as simple as speaking bluntly to anyone. In fact, anyone can make a promise in just a snap of a finger.

Well that is the easy part.

Creating a promise.

Making someone believe that you will do this or won't do that.

Giving someone a reason to expect.

It's very simple to give a statement.

The hard part is fulfillment.

There is a saying that goes: "Promises and pie crusts are made to be broken" - Jonathan Swift

So why promise if you'll just break it right?

I highly disagree with that saying. If that's the true purpose of promises, then promises are a bad thing.

But that shouldn't be the definition of promise right?

When you make a promise, you should bind yourself to the responsibility that you will fulfill that promise.

Never make a promise if you're not sure that you can make it.

Also, never make a promise during happy times.

Why?

When an area is full of happiness, people within that area tend to say things that would please another. So the intention is to create more happiness during that time and not to fulfill a promise.

 Breaking a promise is like breaking someone's heart.

It's sad to say that there are very few people who keep their promises. People who treat a promise as a duty that is needed to be done and will do whatever it takes just to get a promise done for someone.

In addition to that, people sometimes fulfill a promise out of fear. Fear that THAT person will get angry at him/her.

So better be careful when you say the word "Promise" because you'll never know.

You could be already breaking someone's heart.

Remember!

Not all mistakes can be cured with the word "Sorry"

Doubt much?

This is a part of the Philippine Constitution which became a very popular quote for young Filipino lovers.

If you ask me it's true. You shouldn't assume anything unless there is proof.

A lot of conflicts arouse from assumptions. Assumptions which arouses from the minds of insecure people. This happens due to a person's lack of trust to the other. If a person assumes something about his/her partner, it only proves that his/her love is not strong enough to trust the person. Because for me:

LOVE = TRUST

You can never love a person whom you do not trust.
And you do not trust a person if you do not love that person.

It's just something to think about...

If you feel that you're love is strong enough to hold on to your partner, think again because if there is more doubt than trust, your feelings is very weak and may crash anytime soon.

You have to learn to trust your partner despite all the doubts that pop up on your mind.

But of course you have to be open to each other. :)

Be careful though. Sometimes when a person avoids assumptions, there comes a time that he/she is already in state of denial. It's like avoiding negative thoughts even though it's already in front of him/her.

Take good care of each other and learn to trust.

Halloween!

It's Halloween! Sadly Trick or Treating is not applicable here in the Philippines (haha no candies). It's giving me chills! BECAUSE ITS COLD DUUH! :))

Tomorrow, me and my family will be going to Tagaytay where we'll spend our vacation until November 2 (I think?)..I'll get to see my cousins again (wee!). We'll also visit my grandparents' graves which I haven't seen in a while.

I'm kinda looking forward tomorrow because my relatives haven't seen me in a while and with a new look I'm kinda expecting a different kind of reaction from them (mostly negative so I'm getting ready XD).

Were leaving early tomorrow so I think I'll sleep early today IF I CAN since I slept almost half of the day away XD

But whatever! I'll just enjoy whatever happens tomorrow :))
