unrhymed

he is distracting, annoying
he made my world tumble, lined with a string
he made me believe in lies
tested my patience, gone with a thin line
he taught me to gamble, took risks and fall
now I do not know how strong,
but here it comes, a heart singing melodies by a song
he made my heart skip a beat
threw fireballs in a cold lonely street
someone I never wished for
but cupid has bows and arrows aimed solely for me



pavements



life's like a highway...
a busy street...
a paved walkpath drenched in sunbeams ang heavy rains...
strangers we meet along the way becomes familiar faces--with a name, they become our acquiantances...
through time, they become friends... 
a silent companion amidst the noise of drifting cars and heavy footsteps of people passing-by...

then there are friends who become family...
then you'll know by heart that you'll never gonna walk these streets alone.

#note to self

"This is for the girls who have the tendency to stay up all night listening to music that reminds them of their current situation.
Who hide their fears, hurt, pains and tears under their smiles and laughs all day on a daily basis.
The girls who WEAR THEIR HEARTS ON THEIR SLEEVE.
The girls who pray things will workout just once and they'll be satisfied.
The girls who scream and cry into their pillows because the rest of the world fails to listen.
The girls who have it hard but don't let anyone know that.
The girls who may never have it easy.
The girls who have so many secrets but will never tell a soul.
The girls who have regrets and mistakes as a daily moral.
The girls who don't always win, who may never win.
The girls who stay up all night thinking about that one boy wondering if he will ever notice her.
The girls who get what they get and don't throw a fit. The girls who TAKE LIFE AS IT COMES, hoping it will get easier somewhere down the road. The girls who LOVE WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS but always get broken.

This is for the REAL GIRLS.
This is for us...

Apple Tree

“Life will break you. 
Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. 
You have to love. 
You have to feel. 
It is the reason you are here on earth. 
You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up. 
And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. 
Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.” 

— Louise Erdrich

Chances... Choices



Once you let people in, you take the good with the bad... and not just the good stuff...and once they let you in, allow them to see the bad stuff too and not just the good ones. 

Once you decide to finally take a chance... to take all the risk--even if it might hurt you one day--you don't step back because you get scared... you step up and allow that courage within you to seep through your heart...

We don't always get the ending we want, but we could decide to make our beginnings worthwhile...

And when God gives you that thing you always pray for, remember to say THANK YOU, because he has given you that thing your heart has been longing for...

STRANGERS.
THEY ARE OF DIFFERENT KINDS.
SOME OF THEM ARE THE LIVES YOU CHANGE,
WHILE SOME CHANGES YOU.
AND THERE ARE ALSO THOSE WHO WILL REMAIN
TO BE A STRANGER IN YOU.

Strangers, again




I just saw this vid, as recommended by a friend a story or something and it hit me.
Those different stages in a relationship that some people says they go through are they really all the same?
If I were to make my own version of these stages it’s gonna go like this:
  1. 1.  Strangers
  2. 2.  Flirting
  3. 3.  Commitment
  4. 4.  Honeymoon
  5. 5.  Comfortable
  6. 6.  Tolerance
  7. 7.  <<choose your ending>>


It was mentioned that in every relationship, one of two things will happen: either they get married, or they break up. If someone doesn’t wanna marry, does it mean that they expect a break-up? Problem with some people nowadays is that, everyone’s scared to get hurt, but not all give it a shot—that thing called ‘Commitment’. Many always skip that part, and take it for granted when in fact it’s the most important thing in any relationship, plus all the other formulas attached with it.
Someone once said that, “we always get the same love story that we wanted.” I want to retaliate and say, how about those who fell in love and dreamt of ‘forever’? They don’t necessarily get their happy endings all the time. I also remembered someone saying, ‘when we enter a relationship, we always hope it’s gonna last.’ We don’t enter into a relationship and make a timeline for it… But every relationship has its bumpy roads, it’s strange that not everyone seems to be ready for it. When we get past those hurdles, we get stronger and wiser. And it’s true when they say that arguments are healthy because it opens up each individual to be heard and hopefully, understood. The thing is, not everyone takes these arguments in this light. Some even make it as a leeway to end things up.
For me, relationships are messy but having that someone who could understand you and accept you for everything that you are, and someone who could be there for you as long as it matters (and even if it doesnt anymore) someone who could make you feel happy deep down someone who could make you feel special and Loved in the most unselfish waysthat for me, is the greatest feeling in the world both a rewards and gift of which you would whole-heartedly treasure. How many appreciates happiness even when its not there in the surface?
It is true that somewhere in a relationship, someone stops trying something always changes and its always going hurt.
Strangers. They are of different kinds. Some of them are the lives you change, while some changes you. And there are also those who will remain to be a stranger in you.

Zilch 102



Yung moment na pinipilit ko na lang talaga maging masaya kasi wala naman mangyayari kung magiging malungkot ka...
Nakakapagod din pala maging malakas para sa lahat... nakakapagod din pasayahin ang iba, kasi nakakalimutan mo na ikaw din pala, kailangan ng magpapasaya...
Unfair ang life, kasi minsan, sa dinami-dami ng kasama mo araw araw andun pa rin yung feeling na mag-isa ka lang talaga... at yung feeling na hindi mo magawang sabihin lahat ng ito sa iba kasi ayaw mong kaawaan ka nila.

We all have those days when we feel for ourselves that we are pretty… and then those days when we’re absolutely worn-down. Sometimes, we always wanted to look our best but that’s just not possible. If there’s anything I learned, it’s the fact that a woman who cannot be ugly is not pretty that bad-hair-days are as normal as monthly periods, and that looking your best usually requires a fair amount of time spent in front of the mirror… but I’d rather spend a fair share of my allowance/savings hanging out with my friends—watching a movie, or FOOD-TRIPPING—than buying loads of make-up and changing your wardrobe on a monthly basis. Probably, it’s because I’ve got my best mirror—my friends! They compliment you when you’re pretty, and tease when you’re horrible… but I love them most when I feel like the latter, because that’s when they bring out the best in me… when I’m distraught and very much weary about everything, they sit down beside me and crack the most stupid jokes, and later on I find myself happy once more. And that’s when I’m recharged. When I’m happy, that’s when I feel pretty… and happiness inside radiates through you, and that’s when people see the real beauty in you.

In this world where good looks becomes a status-quo, I hope every girl out there would feel pretty deep down inside them no matter what other people might say, or regardless of what you might hear. Remember that you teach people how to treat you so treat yourself right, and deserve the respect of other people. Never be afraid to be ugly, because those people who care for you won’t mind and they are the ones who truly matter in your life. Always give your smile, because that’s the sexiest curve in your body… and you may never know who you inspire with it. Feel beautiful inside, because that will always remain true no matter what they say. Beauty is subjective, and can never be defined by standards. So everyone’s beautiful—they need only to believe in it. And keep in mind that you will always remain beautiful for that person, or people, who truly love you—beautiful in and out. And most importantly, the kind of beauty that you would want to cultivate is the beauty deeply hidden in your hearts… because that’s where the most important people in your life resides, and that’s what God sees each day of our lives. A beautiful heart is the kind of treasure that our world needs… keep that in mind

Free Falling



Dear You;
When I first met you, you were really not my type. That all-seemingly-bad-boy-image you showed me was something I never thought I’d like. I don’t want someone whom I’d be able to talk to, and see for such limited time but somehow, your kindness and thoughtfulness put my guard behind the lines.
Who are you behind the words you spoke? You set my cold heart in a coal. You made me feel those kinds of emotions I evade now I couldn’t help it, I kinda feel soaked. You were there to push me at the edge of the cliff, saying “don’t be scared to fall”. But now when my heart and courage are set, you were nowhere to be seen; no one to catch me on my free-fall.
Love, you said you’d teach me how. I refuse to learn unless you show me how. Now that I’m alone with my shadows once again, I just seem to forget to thank you somehow. Even if you left me hanging there, those smiles you painted on my lonely days, I will keep them in my heart. Thank you for the friendship, and the courage you taught meI never thought I have them inside me.
When I take my feet off that cliff, I hope to see you there to catch me as I fall. If not, I pray fervently to the heavens, to give me wings instead so I may fly with the mighty eagles and soar. It’s time to embrace my freedom, with the courage I was taught… don’t be scared to fall, trust that there’s a cushion to every fall

Sincerely,
K.

P.S. I Love You

Best of Me


Yeah, I may be bad, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be good. Yes I made mistakes in my life—I made a lot to be precise—but that doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything right. Yes, I have hurt people, broke some hearts and made empty promises, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t made anyone happy in one way or another. I am not perfect. Who is? But that doesn’t give you any right to judge me and belittle my ambitions, and put me into a cage of perfect pretensions. Yes, I am not as good as you think I am, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give me any chance to change what you think of me. I may not be an angel in the eyes of many, but for those few people who believe in me… I know I am okay. And as long as there are people who believe in second chances, I will be okay. Yes, I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it… but if I’m better, I can give you the best of me.

❤Shoes

Good shoes takes you to good places… that I believe to be true. That’s probably why, when people say that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”—I flinch…because I’d rather go for shoes! Yes. Shoes. Sometimes, it doesn’t have to be expensive or ostentatious. All it takes is a good fit…a comfortable one. Something on which you can walk with: strutting your grace, jumping with joy, and walking on grounds of beautiful places.
When we dream, we dream high… we dream big… with our feet on the ground. Isn’t marvelous to have your feet on the ground with good shoes in it?! After all, you have your dreams underway… better work in it with class.
This is just me, a girl talking… a girl who loves shoes!
