Forgiving

@The-Babe: "Garfield`, Love Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry."

Why cant it be....mine?

i know you'll be the sun in somebody else's sky, but why, why, why cant it be, why cant it be mine?

Peace

It's so peaceful and calm as if all is right with the world when he is asleep. But when he gets online, its a tragedy!

All You've Got!

Is this really what you want? Or are you just sticking with it now 'cuz its all you've got? That's it, I think you're just sticking with me because, I'm all you've got!

The journey to God
Starts with one small step
At a time He doesn’t expect you
To run a mile, but HE promises
To give you the strength to go
The distance…

I Know You

We were gathered in a big circle. All of us who are working in this school. The facilitator of the seminar asked each one of us how long have we been teaching? Some had been here for many years, they were the pioneers.While others have been here for two, three, five and eight years or so. We also have some new people who just joined the field of education. Fresh graduates or a new recruit I must say. It shows the eagerness on their face, the desire to teach and prove themselves. It's thrilling!

We were asked to look at one another for a brief moment then, we are asked how long have we known the person who sits beside us. Each of us talked about how much we know, how little or know nothing at all of the person sitting on our sides. I sat between Addie and Jane. Jane spoke first about me. She said I'm a very noisy person. LOUD! I interrupted her saying: "Well what do you expect from a Deaf?" Everyone laughed. She went on saying how much she learned from me and is thankful for the kindness I gave. She said other things and finally added that should ever I get married, I shouldn't forget to invite her. I grinned and would have wanted to say, "yeah, dream on!" but I kept the thought to myself. I stood up, it was my turn next. As I spoke, I looked at her half grinning and half smiling. I started by saying, "I've known Jane when she first came to school as a teacher aide. She had been with me for two years. She is a shy woman and sometimes unsure of herself. She is the kind of person who would be most willing to help you if you ask her provided you pay for her snack and fare." Laughter and she hits me. "But she has a true heart and a passion to teach the Deaf children." Next, I spoke about Addie. Addie and I have been friends for like ages. We met when I was just in my sophomore in college and she was our note-taker and sometimes interepreter for mass and program. Addie and I became classmates when she took the same course I ventured after finishing a pre-certificate course in computer. Our friendship grew stronger and she knows me inside and out. She is like a mentor other than a friend, classmate and colleague. She is there for me whenever I needed help when it comes to fashion, work, gimmicks and of course, BOYS! ;D When I was finish, I sat on my chair and waited for Addie. She didnt stood up but instead galanced at me with a nice smile, the kind you would see when a good friend smiles fondly of you, pleased you didn't put her to shame for what you really knew about her. Hahaha! Anyway, she said it was true we know each other that much and aside from our other close friends (Maya and Jo). She went on saying how she is like a mother to me and how sometimes we end up argueing due to our different likes and dislikes or sometimes we clash because of my being persistent. She admires me for that though and wishes me to keep doing my best. Jo sat next to her and she spoke how many years she had known her. They have been much together as colleagues and friends longer than me and Maya. She knew a lot about Jo from her likes and dislikes and what is her weakness and strong points and how she would react, think and deal with her job and other people. .... Most of us said nice things and little was said about embrassing situation, some were for laughs.

The facilitator then gave us some paper with questions to answer. The questions wasn't difficult at all. It asked the usual stuff like what does your friend likes and dislikes? what is her favorite color or how do you think she will react to situation and what will be her choice of things, her taste and other preference, etc...The list was short as it asked us to describe only three people whom we think we know too well. Of course, we four (Addie, Maya, Jo and I) wrote each other's name. When we were finish, we were asked to share our answer. Then the person we thought we knew very well answered the same question to see if our answers matched. Too our surprise, we found out we scored low except for Maya and Addie. their score on each other wasn't bad. Mine wasn't too bad about Maya. The facilitator explained to us that sometimes, the people who we thought we know very well, are actually the people we know so little about. "Like an opponent in a battle, you should not over estimate nor underestimate your enemy." We thought we may know people who spend their lives with us from Monday to Friday or the people who live with us in one roof, it could be your husband or wife, your brothers and sisters, your parents and grandparents or your bf and gf. But the painful truth is we dont know them at all, like a perfect stranger! Because we tend to take them for granted in our lives and we tend to put off things for them, thinking that this person is always there or will be there anyway and you will see that person when you go back to work. Or you can put off a lunch gathering with the family thinking you will see them anyway, when you get home or at breakfast....

I recall when I was in that seminar,what the facilitator told us struck me hard... Now, just this morning, I was talking to someone and this person saw the reaction on my face and told me he knows and he can read me because he can see my face. I looked at the monitor of my pc and thought about what he said for a brief second and I thought also about what another friend told me last night at work about knowing me to well. How my answers showed on my face and the way I smile or laugh....I've been very happy lately because I found my freedom once again. And I have my Dad beside me. Even though sometimes, I wish I am not so stuck with work. I want to find some time out and spend it with my father, away from all these things that are happening to me. Away from the madness of the city and work. Away from the sorrow I once dealt with for such a long time. Yes, I have finally destroyed the chains that once binds me...."Your happiness will also be my happiness wherever that may be and with whoever with...." I am thankful that in the past I have memories although not all have been pleasant but I don't recall them now. What I can only recall are the good ones. The happy ones that taught me a lot of things. Something I can benefit from and add some more wit in me....So, when I look in the mirror now and I see this face, whose eyes have failed to reach that glint, but I see something else now.... As I look closer, I see someone familiar, someone whose face is no longer a cast of shadow....I see this face....this face that I long missed....the face who I used to be and who I wanted to be....I see myself now, smiling and ready to take the world again! :)
