why not?

jeje title over thur.

It's around 5am and been thinking about a lot of things. Why not Baguio? Why Kyusee? What would my life be right now if I chose to study in there? Maybe God has His reasons (cross out the Maybe) God has His reasons. I am not saying that my life in Q was not that fun-filled, joyful, happy, blah blah blah. It was. I just want to ask, WHY NOT IN BAGUIO?

Random thoughts pop out all the time. Forgive me. I just have to right it in here just because I can't sleep in my own bed because when I arrived home from Baguio my cousins are still sleeping in there.

CHUCK

"no matter where we go or what we do, as long as we're together, right?"

"love is a battle field"

"I'm emotional and that makes me a liability."

"You are everything I've ever wanted."

"I hate guns but it pays to know unusually."

"Families and friends make us vulnerable. They make us unable to pull the trigger."

"Sometimes it helps to know that you've got something to lose."

"It is another to betray your partner."

"I'll always come back for you."

"A heart is a complicated muscle."

"You need to be honest with the people you love."

"You're courage makes me very proud but there are some battles you have to walk away from."

"There's nothing more important than family."

"A relationship is built on trust,"

" If you're planning on hurting me, even to prove a point, I think you should know I have a very low threshold for pain."

"Sometimes, your dream job isn't always what you expect it to be."

"You're still Chuck. You're still my Chuck"

"meeting you always makes it worth it."

"when you meet somebody you care about, it's just so hard to walk away."

"I'm watching chuck disappear and the further he gets from who he is, the more I want to remember who I am."

Mere Christianity thoughts by C.S Lewis

"That is why the Christian is in a different position from other people who are trying to be good. They hope, by being good, to please God if there is one; or- if they think there is not- at least they hope to deserve approval from good men. But the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us;"

“In the passage where the New Testament says that every one must work, it gives as a reason ’in order that he may have something to give to those in need.’”

“If people do not believe in permanent marriage, it is perhaps better that they should live together unmarried than that they should make vows they do not mean to keep. It is true that by living together without marriage they will be guilty (in Christian eyes) of fornication. But one fault is not mended by adding another: unchastely is not improved by adding perjury.”


“…love is the great conqueror of lust.”

"Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go."

“As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”

“For Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.”

“If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.”

"When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.”

“But the great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not."

“If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”

"Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.”

“There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice."

"first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”

“He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others - not because He has favorites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favorites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.”

“When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only man in the world.”

“If you picture Time as a straight line along which we have to travel, then you must picture God as the whole page on which the line is drawn."

“Each time you fall He will pick you up again. And He knows perfectly well that your own efforts are never going to bring you anywhere near perfection.”

“The very first step is to try to forget about the self altogether."

"Give up yourself, and you will find your real self."

"Lose your life and you will save it."

"Keep back nothing."

"Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in."

Brandon Heath thoughts.

Cause the pain is real
But you will survive
That's how you know you're alive

Cause it's Okay Now, Hey Now
You can let go
That's when you
Find out, Find out
Everybody knows
That there just
Aint no, Aint no
Easier way out
I know it might not look that way
But You're gonna live to fight another day

Here's another chance
Take it while you can
Cause it sure wont last
Moves so fast
And it's gone again

21.7.11

breathe... again

Car is parked, bags are packed,
but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch,
the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
