I just feel so alone....


I just feel so alone....

Sometimes we feel like we are lost and all alone in the world. Loneliness is defined as 'without companions, alone'. Do you ever just feel like you are alone and don't really have anyone that has your back no matter what? I do!

Even when I’m with people I always feel like I’m on the outside looking in. I feel like no one cares if I am there or not. No one knows what I feel inside no one cares
I sit and cry all the time and no one bothers to ask why or if there is something they can do I feel alone and sad and depressed .I really have a good life but there is something missing. I feel alone all the time I feel so alone.
Nobody asks if I'm okay, and if they did, I guess I would just say I'm fine anyway because I can't explain this to anyone. Walk this world alone and depressed and sad each and every day
Why do I feel this way? Why does know one care to ask why? What is missing in my life to make me feel this way?
I longed for something- I'm not sure what. A heart-stirring conversation with someone whom I could trust. A confident look in the eyes from a wide-open face. To cry with someone, and not alone.

Everyone always comes to me whenever they have a problem, because I really am a good listener. But who do I turn to when I need help or just need a shoulder to cry on?
Something in my heart feels amiss, and I don't know where to turn.
Maybe it's just for today.

How can I cheer myself up? I just need something.. someone.. to give me hope. I feel so alone.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?


During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"

In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighingon your mind.


Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet." Think about the imagery of that _expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along And happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.

But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.


The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.


But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it.


I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.


SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.


Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can "make" love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... not just a feeling

~** LETTING GO **~


Love begins with a smile,
grows with a kiss,
and
ends with a teardrop...
I don't really want to say goodbye

I don't really want to leave you
But now I have to go away
Stay away from you forever
What we had was something special
Deep down from our hearts
But now I have to go away

And leave you from my heart



~** LETTING GO **~
I should probably do you a favor
And stop loving you

I have no right to feel
The way that I do

All the things you want
Are things I cannot give
I should just walk away
So your life you can live

But you know it's not easy

To just stop loving someone

And it's so very hard
To admit when you haven't won
The times when I wanted love
You were always there

Times when you needed love

I was always elsewhere
But I know that letting go

Is the right thing to do
Especially if what I say is true
About how much I love you
It was so great to be with you

To be showered by your love....

You show me How much I mean to you...
How much you cared...

that makes me more fall in love with you...
but it's time to say goodbye
and I had nothing to do with it to stand here
and say goodbye
to take a deep breath and cry.....
I started to think of you,
And the tears flow down,
Why do you have to leave?

I'm pushed in the shadows,
As you are swept away,

I hope all happiness does come to you,
Now I must leave,
The life you left for me,

Is too empty, And I can't fill it,
Even with all these tears,

That are drowning me so,
It's time to go
The tears won't fall out, I can strain,
But they just burst, Like falling rain, Oh dear,
Myself I must regain...
But I cannot leave you,

I can't say good bye I must search low,
I must search high...
To tell you the truth I love you dear,
I would never give you a sneer...
And now I am called away, I cry as my body sways,
It is not a happy day... But goodbye, my love!

My Sister

One of the things I'm very proud of the way my sister Vicky and her children raised their kids in the Unites States is how very early on,
they decided that their first language at home should be Tagalog. My sister, in her own words:

"If you go around Bay Point, you will hear small kids speaking in their native language.
The Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Mexicans are all good in teaching their children their mother tongue. This is true whether the kids were born abroad or here in America.
Go to a Filipino supermarket in Vallejo and you will notice that the Filipino kids will
be speaking in English. It is not very often that you will hear a small boy saying “Po” or “Opo”which is a Tagalog word for “Yes” full of respect. Me and my children decided before my grandchildren were born to teach them Tagalog. Another language is one of the best gifts that parents can give to their children. My criticism of Filipino parents is that they often say that it will confuse the child. It is my opinion that to do so is to undermine the potential of the child.
Relatives would also often say that once my grandchildren goes to school that their Tagalog speaking skills would disappear. I simply do not say anything so that I don’t sound like a smart ass.
I know that a bundle of tracts connecting the left and right hemispheres of the human brain, the corpus callosum, is still developing. It does not play in language development per se but the point I am trying to make here is that young minds are still developing, those synapses are being built for language development, and therefore, need to be introduced to positive tactile, visual, auditory and lingual stimuli. Another argument would be the previously mentioned ethnicities. Their children don’t appear confused to me. In fact, I see those kids as being smarter than those kids who only speak one language. There’s a lot of data to support these claims and if you are interested in raising a bilingual child,
the Multilingual Children’s Association is a good place to start. So how do you teach a child Tagalog?"

Habang may buhay, may pag asa...



Habang may buhay, may pag asa...

Unti-unting nagliliwanag ang karimlan
Tila bagong pag asa yaring masisilayan
Heto ako at muling nangangarap
Ang damdaming ito ay walang kasing sarap

Dinuduyan ako ng malamyos mong tinig
Ikaw ba’y isang anghel na nagmula sa langit?
Tinutunaw ako ng iyong mga titig
Pangarap ko sana’y huwag mong ipagkait

Kumpleto na sana ang lahat sa buhay kong ito
Ang kulang na lang ay malaman ang totoo
Anghel na walang pakpak, sa aki’y huwag magbiro
Baka pangarap ko, sa isang iglap maglaho....

Ako napapaisip kung may pag-asa pa nga ang Pilipinas...

Sa akin po- May pag-asa pa ang Pilipinas!

Palagay ko nasa mga kamay natin ang pag-asa hindi sa pilipinas
o sa mga namumuno dito.Times like these, kelangan ng konting diskarte at innovation..
Desperate times needs desperate moves.But seriously, I think meron, lalo na after GMA's term.
It will take a long time pero mukhang meron talaga. A lot of NGOs are working hard and some of them are succeeding.
Education is key. An educated population is an educated electorate.The important thing,
I believe, is to disregard the presence of the government. Personal opinion ko lang.
Kung tangalin mo ang gobyerno sa equation, may pag-asa kasi maraming Filipino,
local at abroad, ang handang tumulong.Mawawalan lang ng pag-asa ang Pilipinas kung lahat ng pinoy mawawalan ng pag-asa.
disiplina at dedikasyon sa trabaho ang kailangan ng pilipino para umunlad ang pinas, pero papaano?
lumarga ka lang sa edsa daming jaywalkers
manood ka ng XXX dami mong malalaman na manloloko ng produktong gawa nila.
mga barangay hall na ginagawang bahay ng mga punong barangay
mga walang silbing municipal engineers na nagaapruba ng mga delikadong billboards at mga dormitoryong walang safety precautions at fire exits
gobyernong walang inatupag kundi ang magagawan ng kapangyarihan at kurakot sa kaban ng bayan (meron pa bang laman?)
mga drayber nga pangpublikong sasakyan na nagsasakay at nagbababa ng pasahero sa gitna ng kalsada
mga pasaherong pumapara kahit saan, wag lang sa bus/jeepney stop para di na maglakad
I don't believe the country is hopeless. It will take a loong uphill climb for those who want changes.
I dont even watch tv news or listen to politicians, they will just waste your time. For me,
I won't even bother thinking about going back home for good or posting in a Pinoy forum if I think it's hopeless.
there are like-thinking people like in the NGO's who in their little ways may form diffrerent seeds around the country to have some meaningful changes.
In the meantime, you must also make some living...

Kailangan lang tumingin sa paligid, pero way past the ugliness and imperfections. I witness that everyday-
Yung mga bulok na pulitiko, mandurugas na tindero, balahura na drayber, insensitive at mapapel na hospital administrator - kakaunti lang yan kumpara sa mabubuting Pinoy na handang magsakripisyo at maglingkod sa bayan, nasaang bahagi man sila ng mundo. Ang suma-tutal, TAYO yung pag-asa ng bayan.
But again, araw-araw may patunay na may pag-asa pa ang Pilipinas.
Ibig sabihin ay hindi pa nahahatulan ng bitay ang bansa natin. At habang may sumasagot pa na MAY PAG-ASA PA ANG PILIPINAS! nang hindi labas sa ilong, we have nowhere else to go but up.
Never stop hoping for our country.
Never stop caring for our people.
Demand greatness from ourselves as Filipinos.
Be an inspiration to other Filipinos.

And for those who believe in God: Hindi mo mahal ang Diyos kung hindi mo mahal ang Pilipinas.
