A Message From God

On this day of your life, Elle, we believe God wants you to know ... that you are blessed.
	You may think you have challenges, but you have so many blessings. Sometimes it takes only a moment of conscious effort to recognize those blessings. Once you focus on the gifts instead of the problems, your whole perspective will change and you will see blessings everywhere.

What I Want The Most Is...

I want someone to wake me up early in the morning and bring me to the beach to watch the sunrise.

I want someone to be there for me when no one else could.

I want someone to show me that they care about me in every possible way.

I want someone to be there for the good and bad times.

I want someone to truly see me and know exactly how to understand my own feelings.

I want someone who would appreciate everything I do, even the smallest of all things.

I want someone to miss me and think about me whenever I am not around.

I want someone that I can have a sensible conversation with, all day and all night.

I want someone I can laugh with about life and with some good old stories to share with.

I want someone to caress me all night long and make me feel comfortable every moment we spend together.

I want someone to hold me close throughout the night and make sure that everything would be alright.

I want someone to kiss me like it was always our first kiss.

I want someone to make love to me with all the passion that the whole world could ever imagine.

I want someone who can’t wait to hug me right after being away from each other for a while.

I want someone to know the things that would make me cry and what makes me smile.

I want someone to look into my eyes and see through my soul.

What I want the most is to have someone who would love me as much as I’m willing to love them back for the rest of my days.

The Lucky One

This is one of the famous quotes from the movie and novel by Nicholas Sparks, "THE LUCKY ONE" 

You know, the small thing can change your life. In the blink of an eye something happens by chance when you least expect it. Since, you are in course you never planned into a future you never imagine. Where will it take you? That's the journey of our lives. Our search for the light. But sometimes, finding the light means you must passed to the deepest darkness. At least, that's how it was for me.

Everyone has their own destiny -- not even one makes a choice to follow it. Now I'm lucky, I did.

My Soul Mate

"IF YOU KNEW THAT MEETING YOUR SOUL MATE WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN YOUR LIFE?”

Two different souls, meet as one

It’s funny how I ask myself the same question when I woke up this morning.  I was lying on my bed having thoughts about my soul mate. YES, what IF my soul mate was just around the corner or what IF I already met him, but didn’t recognize that he was my long lost soul mate. What IF we already did a lot of fun and exciting activities together, but didn’t realize it because I was too caught up doing some other things. What IF he was already sitting right beside me sharing some interesting things and stories about himself. What IF he was the one who’s making me feel this good and happy about myself because seeing a simple yet the most beautiful smile and grin on his face would melt all the troubles away.

I came across with this short description about soul mate from Elizabeth Gilbert:

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so out of control that you have to transform your life..."

Now, I start thinking what is really a soul mate? How would I recognize if he was my soul mate? Would he just pop up in front of me like a bubble? I have so many questions going on my mind right now and I guess the only answer to my question is when my soul mate is standing right in front of me telling me, “Hey, I think I’ve met you before…” Funny as it may seem, I remember, I met someone out of an ordinary day, he looked at me and he smiled. By looking through his eyes he was like telling me, “You looked so familiar. Have we met before?” at the back of my mind too, I told myself that he looks so familiar and it seems like I already met him before…

I was hoping that in one ordinary fine day, we would recognize each other when our path crosses again. Throughout our lives we will find one person who is unlike any other. He is someone whom you could talk for hours and never get bored, you could tell them things and they won't judge you. This person is your soul mate, your best friend. Don't ever let them go because they are the ones who were made to spend a lifetime just to be with you.

Life Is Too Short

Our life in this world is too short to be anything but happy. Love deeply, forgive quickly, take chances, give everything with no regrets, and forget the past with exception of what you have learned and remembered because everything happens for a reason.

Embrace the beauty of life each day

We all know that opportunities are very rare and we have to be vigilant in protecting them. It’s not only the opportunities to succeed but the opportunity to laugh, to see the things that fascinates you, and to live because life doesn't owe us anything. In fact, I think we owe something to the world. Whether we choose to see it or not, our life is too short to worry about small things. Though some circumstances in our lives at the very moment may seem fairly significant, we must also realize that important are the things that will matter in ten to twenty years, or twenty to fifty years. Life is too short to sweat on the small stuff. We have to choose to live our lives in the present and for the future, instead of trying to live in the past. We must also live our lives doing the things and for the people that we are passionate about. Living a life without passion and without hope for the future is not really living your life at all. Remember that the next minute, hour, and day are not promised to you, and may be taken away from you at any time. Never let anything or any person stop you from pursuing the things that you are truly passionate about because our life is too short, so never waste time worrying about what people think of you. Hold on to the ones that care about you because in the end they will be the ones who will stay there for you.

I always believe in this saying, “Never waste a moment of your time in life because it may be the last with someone you love." which is basically true because life is too short to be wasted on such insignificant things or events in our life. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it be. Then you will fully understand your purpose in this world and the real meaning of life through its existence.

My Sweet Candy Love

Nothing is as sweet as you

                                       
Oh, my sweet Muskeeter!
Fly with me my Dove to Candy Land 

To a forbidden place where the Skittles meet the rainbow

Lay under the Milky Way with me

We will ride your big Cadbury bike.

Let's gaze at the Starburst together

And share our Hershey Kisses as we Chupa Chups each other's lips

We can melt into the delicious taste of M&M's

Just you and me in this sweet bliss of Fun Dip.

Sweet candies craze

When the moon begins to Twizzler

We will be in each other's arms like Nerds

I never knew how much of a Toblerone you could be

Your heart is as soft and fragile like a Quench Gum.

There are Zero people like you that would melt my heart like a Nestle Crunch

You're my Life Saver in this crazy world

I love all your little Snickers jokes

And your Krackel breath tickles every time you whisper Chuckles in my ears

I always feel safe when you wrap your Butterfingers around me

That is the reason why I always love to hug you like a Gummy Bear.

Delicious chocolate bars craze

You always know how to make me smile and feel Curly Wurly with all your Smarties ways

And I want to share all my Nips to you until we reach the Mars

We Kit Kat together like a Lion Peanut in Macademia

Now and later, I will always be your Tootsie Pop girl forever.

Like Cow Tales in a Cloud Nine

You’re all the Payday I'll ever need

Coz I wouldn't trade you for 100 Grand in 5th Avenue

I will be Forever Yours, my huggable Popsicle man.

If I Were...

If I were a fish,

I would swim really fast to eat your bait

Even though you would cook me and throw me on your plate.

If I were a pillow,

I would go out of my way

I would be comforting for you after working hard all day.

If I were a princess,

I would honor you to be my charming prince

Where in a castle that you and I will happily live.

If I were your mother,

I would be really proud of you

Because with all the work that you were able to do.

If I were your friend,

Then I would feel blessed

To hear all your advices whenever I feel depress.

You appear to be gorgeous,

And very sweet too

I just want you to know that it’s my wildest dream to finally meet you.

The True Definition Of Relationship

If you break down the word RE-LA-TION-SHIP: Taking a journey on a ship with your partner and learning how to relate to one another. 

It is a journey to relate or learn from each other and from everything around you. You are taking this life’s journey together, creating magic moments and working through the hard or tough times, and most importantly growing stronger together. It is like your consciousnesses are merging to become one - not just getting along - in which a lot of couples doing today.

People learn about relationships from their parents. They also learn from what they see on TV or in the movies. Unfortunately, that is not real. This type of learning is make believe and they go there whole life looking for something that does not exist. That is the reason why there is so much infidelity. They are trying to find this everlasting so-called love or soul-mate, but have mistaken lust for love - which are two different things. A relationship is the path where two different consciousnesses merge to become one. It is the journey on the ship where you have to relate with each other. If you have not built a strong Relation-Ship, then all you have is a Relation-Canoe and eventually it will sink.
