I GIVE UP ON US

(credits to the creator of the video and owner of the photos)

When you walk away, that doesn't mean that you did not give enough. It can also mean that it is too much for you to handle. Too much pain which is more hurting when you know you don't deserve it. Too much work, which is more tedious especially if you are the only one working for the relationship. Too much suffering, which is more deadly, especially when you know you ought something better. Too much demand for patience, which is more exhausting, especially when the tolerance you are giving were always gain no importance. Too much chances, which is more upsetting especially when they were always put to waste. Too much self sacrificing, which is more depriving, especially when it is already stepping on your self worth. 

Love is not just about saying it then taking the person for granted. It is not just feeling it, then doing what you like inconsiderate of what he feels. It is not just about washing his clothes, then ignoring his emotions. It is not just about fighting for him, then making him feel that he is always the last on your list. It is not just going home to him then making him feel that your mind is somewhere else. It is not just about sharing what you feel to him then you never listen.

You text and reply to your friends but you almost never texting him. You can text to other people whatever you are doing and wherever you are, but you always tell him that you don't have time and chance to text him. You laugh and smile with your friends but you are always angry and quiet when you're with him. You keep your promise to other people but always breaking then to him. You always try to understand your friends even if it hurts you but you are never understanding to him. You are willing to spend time, money and effort for other people but you are always reasons and "I cant" to him. You are the kindest and nicest person to other people but you are very rude to him. You don't want to see your friends crying, but you don't care if you will leave him weeping. You are putting your best foot forward for other people, but you are your worst to him.

THANK YOU, TSINELAS!

     
   It’s been quite a while when destiny purposely put us together. He desired to create a crowd that would go with each other well. He is a very great matchmaker that we exceeded his criterion. We learned everyone’s weaknesses and strengths, but we've been too compatible that we’re ready to accept our every imperfection. We've met countless troubles, but we’re too bonded that even the deadliest storm can’t even scratch the foundation of our friendship. We found comfort from each of us. We have never ending trust and respect which made our closeness stronger. And the most important is that we have a sack-full of sense of humor, or we can say sense and humor. It gives us all the reasons in the world to talk, laugh, smile, sing, dream and be with each other all over and over again. We are the TSINELAS, a simple rubber slipper, flexible, happy and always on the go.

DAMN HEART!!!

  I’m so confused. I don’t know who to pick, I don’t know who to choose. My heart and brain were in pain. They keep on fighting inside me. I realized that I’m so weak, I’m so stupid. I don’t know if they both love me but I’m sure that I love them both………

            I can’t forget my past but this present I always remember. I am so mystified, puzzled, bewildered. Do I really love my past because my love for her endures the test of time? But my present is giving me a daily reason to smile. Every time I think of each of them they both make my heart beat, makes my brain imagine, makes my body chill and makes my soul sing. If only love has a weighing scale that determines how heavy your love to someone, I will not hesitate to buy one for my heart. Even it takes my whole life.

          

THE GARDEN OF FOUR SEASONS

Once upon a time, a garden was created

A paradise of flower buds and million cocoons

A haven where they could be nurtured and grow

A sanctuary, safe from the test of the four seasons

           Dati ay mga estranghero tayo sa bawat isa, mga bulaklak na di pa sigurado sa kanilang kulay, mga uod na nagmamadaling lumaki upang maging paru-paro, mga bubuyog na di pa handang makipagsapalaran upang kumuha ng mga pulot sa gitna ng mga bulaklak, at mga dahong tikom pa at di pa makasabay sa tulak ng hangin. Tayo iyon, di pa natin kilala ang isat isa At siguro pati ang ating mga sarili at ang mga gusto nating gawin. Nagpapakiramdaman tayo, na sa isang sulyap sa mata ay hiya ang unang pakiramdam. Iba iba ang ating mga personalidad, iba iba ang pagkatao natin, sa una ay nangangapa pa tayong makisama sa isat isa, ngunit sa di malamang dahilan ay parang kisapmatang natapos ang mga sandaling iyon. Nalaman ang mga bagay na mapagkakasunduan at makakapagpakibagayan. Nagkasundo tayo at nagkaisa at mula nooy nagsimulang mangarap at mabuhay ng magkasama.

As all the things in the garden gently mature

It is also the beginning of the season of rain

The cocoons quietly moving and the buds start to open

The garden feeds everything with water to sustain

It is the creation of friendship of the variant flowers

Smiles of youthful butterflies to the newly bees

A bond that is formed to last forever

A nearness to sway even with the strongest breeze

CONFUSION: WHICH IS EVIL AND WHICH IS NOT!

This is my conversation with a reader of my post WHY GOD IS NOT PREVENTING EVIL?

you can read the post here so that you could know what brought the conversation.

I just decided to separate this conversation for it is different from the topic of "Natural Evil". This is more of the concept of evil which is very simple but many get confused to it. Let's see if these conversation will bring light to your concept about evil and good.

Q: I think you and I define evil very differently. To me, someone commits a wrong act when it negatively affects others more than it positively affects others--especially when considered in a vacuum. And evil act is when the act has a more severe negative affect. God, if he exists, either actively causes disasters or set up a world in which disasters kill and otherwise harm at random. Either way, it is an evil act.

If God doesn't exist, then natural disasters are just natural phenomena, as you say.
