I received this in my email this morning. just a thought for everyone...

---
There are people who can't walk away from you. But when people decide to walk away from you...

Let them walk.

Don't try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying
attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. What you are and can be is never
tied to anybody that left.

The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made
Manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt
they would have continued with us.
[1 John 2:19]

People leave us because they are not joined or connected to us. And if they are 
not joined to us, we can't make them stay.
 
So let them go.

It doesn't mean that they are bad people when they choose to leave, it just means that 
their part in your story is over. And we've got to know when people's parts in
our story is over. that way, we don't keep trying to raise the dead.

We've got to know when it's over.
It's not that we're hateful or bitter, it's that we're faithful in knowing that 
God will give us exactly what we need at the right time, nothing more, nothing less.

And if it takes too much sweat, we don't need it. Stop begging people 
to stay.

Let them go!
 
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to...
LET IT GO! what's not yours is never meant to be yours in the first place.

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains...
LET IT GO! but always remember the lessons attached to them and don't repeat the same mistake twice.

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!! there are better things worth your time than sulking about that. remember, God made you 
special in His eyes, and no one can ever take that away no matter what they say.

If someone has angered you...
LET IT GO! you're at the losing end if you don't.

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...
LET IT GO! Vengeance is the Lord's.

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction...
LET IT GO! these are the wrong turns in life, they won't get you anywhere at all. 

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents...
LET IT GO! You are your own person, what you do or what job you are in doesn't define who you are.
 
If you have a bad attitude...
Realize it and LET IT GO! this'll benefit you the most.
 
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...
LET IT GO! You are so MUCH better than that.
  
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...
LET IT GO! the same way no one is attached to you, so are you not attached to anyone. what doesn't help you
only pulls you down.
 
If you're feeling depressed and stressed ...
LET IT GO! give it a deep breath and a smile. the world will be brighter tomorrow, i promise.
 
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things.
GOD has new and exciting things in store for YOU. He loves you SO much, and it saddens Him to see you
holding on to things that don't help you become who He wanted to you be in the first place...
Let it go!!

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. 
You will have your heart broken probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too in the process, 

You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose  
someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and be in continual joy like you've
never been hurt before. because every sixty seconds you spend unhappy is a minute of happiness you'll never ever get back..." 

hayy good ol' bangkok.
again, a week after staying here, which is a second home, literally, i'm already homesick. after all the shopping and sight seeing, i can't wait to get home next week.

hi world!

i miss my dogs. i miss Lance especially (i know tina and cooks will hate me for this, cuz they love sharkie and think i play favoritisim! haha!) because he's the one i bring around more, and i'm with him more. Lance sleeps in the same room as i do. i bought him a new collar, new shirts, and even a dog tag from bangkok. and because my mom owns a poodle here at home too, charlie, i miss Lance all the more.

..and because i miss Lance, i resorted into something unusual. you guys remember our grade school toy? the Tamagotchi? haha i got me one of those. a virtual pet is the way to preoccupy homesickness. HAHA.

anyway, will update again when i get back. right now, i just wish i was home... but am having fun, definitely. XMEN 3 ROCKSSS!!!!!!!!!! mehn. would love to see it the second time.

pictures comin up soon.

did you know that humans and chimpanzees are 99% similar??? that 1% of differences are only our physical appearance and brain size! But other than that, humans and chimps are 99% alike!!! gosh.

aside from this new found knowledge, summer classes are the worst ever. i'd never thought i'd say this but.. i can't wait for summer to end!!

blah.

so i had an interesting valentines conversation this morning with one of my friends from school, krizka. and this is how it went:

Miela: so any big plans for tonight, kriz?
Krizka: hell no. let HIM (pertaining to her "special friend", as she wishes him to be pertained as) do all the effort!!
Miela: uh huh, but you bought him flowers?
Krizka: i did
Miela: and that's about all the effort you'll do.
Krizka: well i bought him chocolates too.
Miela: oh okay, and that's about the effort there is.
Krizka: oh and got him a little gift too.
Miela: haha, that's all the effort you'll do.
Krizka: uh huh. that's about it.

haha i love it. typical girl world on valentine's.

so what is all the fuss and buzz about feb. 14 anyway? if you stroll along the AS walk in UP, it's screaming flowers-and-chocolates-and-seranade-your-loved-one valentine's. it's crazy, yet it's very amusing.

Right when i got to school today, as i was walking briskly  to my first class, a couple walked passed me. they were holding hands, and both wearing the same color of shirts. beat that. The girl had a bouquet of lovely, scrumptious looking flowers (not the typical red and white roses, mind you!), and the guy had his arms wrapped around her. They both were in another universe. and gosh, this was 8:30 in the morning. how very chic-flick ish.

And just as my friend and I were walking out of class (which got cancelled, by the way. apparently the prof decided to cancel since, oo nga naman, it's valentine's day after all. nice ), we saw yet another couple, this time  the girl was lodging around a huge stuffed teddy bear (let me hear you say, awww!) and grinning from ear to ear. She did look very happy, and the guy beside her, equally happy. And it's really heartwarming to see those kinds of smiles once in a while, don't you think? i honestly felt so happy for them, despite the apparent cheesy-ness.

But then of course, there are those who are sitting lonely in starbucks, infront of their laptops sipping their coffee, with no one beside them. now i'm not judging those who sit in starbucks, alone, i'm just saying let's face it, there are also a number of people who are crying out of lonliness from the realization that they dont have a "special someone" to share this day with. Much less, they don't receive flowers or chocolates (or i dunno, CDs for the guys? haha) on this occasion. Some people grow numb or bitter at valentine's, some dread it, some simply say they "don't care" when in fact deep down inside, there is a longing  for someone to show them some special attention. Or, okay fine, some just simply don't care. For them, it's just another normal day, what's the deal? "I'll get my share someday". (and these people are the ones i'm truly happy for, that they've found joy within themselves. i respect you, whoever you are)

So i came up with a theory: (haha roight miels.) that if everyone should just stop and look at valentines as the day for lovers and instead see it as the day for love. Show your love to people who matter in your life. everyone deserves to feel loved by many at least once a year, right? at least i do. Let's stop the killings and terrorist attacks and violence, and give love (and peace for that matter) instead just for one day every year. (yup, tatakbo ako as Ms. Universe next year with all this talk of world peace)

This way, people will not see valentine's day as the world of mushiness or cheesy-ness galore, at the same time minimize the people who sulk on feb. 14, gosh kawawa naman sila. We should also reduce the pressure on guys every valentine's. It seems like they're required to cook up something for their special someones on this day, when in fact, they can do that anytime, anywhere and at any cost. if they really want to, at least. (which should also prove how much they're into us, right ladies? hehe)

So, there. Anyone who's reading this, know that i love you, and i care for you deeply. you are one of my most treasured friends, and i care for you beyond my words can express. i love you, and happy valentine's day.

*bow* (sabay wave to the crowd ng naka-cup yung hands, side to side. hehe)

i'd like to get to know myself more. hahaha how selfish. but really, please answer this for me:

thanks thanks!!


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL OF US!!! may there be no tears, no bitterness, no sobs, no violence this season. may we all love each other and be happy. may we live in a loving world with no war, no abuse and no terrorists. blah. yun lang.

happy valentines day. i love you all. *bow*

and aftera gazillion years, i'm here to say HI WORLD again...

went to Bangkok to see my mom for the holidays as usual, and here are some pics mom and i took at a studio. (naks studio. maarte si mommy eh) ( view pics here  )

PHENOMENAL WOMAN (Maya Angelou)

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

how ditzy. haha! but mehn, i like the poem. haha it's me.
