somebody to love...

somebody to love…

the usual..waking up..making coffee..open laptop, hit media player and play in random..shower…singing while showering..:) then this song..

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you’re doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can’t get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

then i find myself thinking…and thinking again..is this the story of my life now? somebody to love please…:D

a "spur-of-the-moment poem" from you know who you are..

your eyes, have brought back forgotten smiles...

your laughter, brought the happiness from a long time ago

your voice, gently humming itself into me

and your hands, trembling as i held it in mine..

So much has gone by..

too many things had passed by us

some heartbreaks dented our hearts

some elation remained to guide us each day.

I have ran out of lines I have ran out of hope

I would have given up had i not met you.

im blown away by this poem...you do have a way with words. thank u for this gift!

Learning

"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate..

without them what would shape our lives?

Maybe if we had never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are..

After all, things change - people come into your life and they go..

But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart." 

finding someone

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.” - sex and the city

i hope to find that…i pray to find that…

Dream...

This is a poem from Langston Hughes

"It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun—
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky—
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun! "

WOW…what a poem to ponder..dream is a powerful tool of motivation.  a way to look beyond what you have now..have i been discouraged to pursue that dream by that wall in front of me?  have i lost  hope?  have i given up?  have i pushed that dream away?  hmmm..ponder..ponder..

You don't have to be perfect..

As I grew older and encounter different kinds of situations and dealt with different kinds of people, the more i have looked at my own life honestly, the more convinced i am that a lot of misery can be traced to one mistaken notion: we need to be perfect for people to love us.

nothing can make us feel worse about ourselves than the conviction that we don't deserve to be loved. and nothing will generate that conviction more certainly than the idea that when we do something wrong, we give God and the people closest to us reasons not to love us.

we may have gotten this message of perfection from parents who genuinely loved us and demonstrated that by correcting our every trivial mistake and by constantly urging us to do better. we may have gotten this message from teachers who praised only perfect papers and showed impatience when we did something wrong. saddest of all, we may picked up this same kind of message from our religious leaders --- that God holds us to strict standards of right and wrong, that he knows every nasty thing we do, even our secret thoughts, and that every sin we commit separates us from God's love. yet why would God set us up for failure, establishing a standard that not one of us could possibly meet? he knows us all too well to demand perfection from us.

a quote to live by..

Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.  -Voltaire

- i just entered proper in PT that time and so many things are running through my head, asking myself if is it all worth it…i barely started third year and already i’m having doubts if i can bear all the pains and the hardships finishing this course…when a professor wrote this quote on the board and it changed my views altogether.  it inspired me from then on…
