INSOMNIA (CAN'T SLEEP?)
HONEY!
Use honey as a tranquilizer and sedative.

Eating onions helps ease constriction of bronchial tubes. (when I was young, my mother would make onion packs to place on our chest, helped the respiratory ailments and actually made us breathe better).

**Grabbed from Mic**

"Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon."

"Gamitin ang
puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."

"Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya"

"Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."

"Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."

"Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."

"Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."

"Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."

"Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."

"Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka… Kaya quits lang."

"Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?

"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka."

"Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi ikaw mismo!"

"Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.
Dapat lumandi ka din."

FALLING IN LOVE

When you think of your past love, you may view it
as a failure. But when you find a new love, you
view the past as a teacher. In the game of love,
it doesn’t really matter who won or who lost. What
is important is you know when to hold on and when
to let go! You know you really love someone when
you want him or her to be happy, even if their
happiness means you’re not a part of it.
Everything happens for the best. If the person you
love doesn’t love you back, don’t be afraid to
love someone else again, for you’ll never know
unless you give it a try.

You’ll never love a person you love unless you
risk for love. Love strikes in hurting. If you
don’t get hurt, you don’t learn how to love. Love
doesn’t hurt all the time. Though the hurting is
still there to test you, to help you grow. Don’t
find love, let love find you. That’s why it’s
called falling in love because you don’t force
your self to fall. You just fall.

You cannot finish a book without closing its
chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to
leave the past as you turn the pages. Love is not
destroyed by a single failure or won by a single
caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we are
always learning, discovering and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you
need to hold on and holding on when you need to
let go. We lose someone else who can love us even
more than we can love ourselves. On falling out of
love, take some time to heal and then get back on
the horse. But don’t ever make the same mistake of
riding the same mistake of riding the same one
that threw you the first time. To love is to risk
rejection, to live is to risk dyin, to hope is to
risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing! To
reach for another is to risk involvement, to
expose your feelings is to expose your true self,
to love is to risk not to be loved in return.

How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be
constant but not too persistent, share and never
be unfair, understand and try not to demand, hurt
but never keep the pain.

Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it
can carve wonderful images into the soul that
always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be
the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you
and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the
things that give you joy can also hurt you in the
end. Loving people means giving them the freedom
who they choose to be and where they choose to be.
For all the heartaches and tears, for gloomy days
and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for
you know, that there were the things that helped
you grow.

Loving someone means giving him/her the freedom to
find his/her way, whether it leads towards you or away
from you. Love is a painful risk to take but the
risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful,
for only then you’ll experience the fullness of
humanity and that is love. Only love can hurt your
heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry and only love knows
why. If you’re not ready to cry, if you’re not
ready to take the risk, if you’re not ready to
feel the pain, then you’re not ready to fall in love.

There was a time in our lives when we became
afraid to fall in love cause everytime we do, we
get hurt, then I figured that’s why it’s called
falling in love.

happy

CRUSH [david archuleta]
 
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
that you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much, just too much
 
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
 
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Goin away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
 
Has it ever cross you mind
When were hangin, spending time girl,
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever
 
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Goin away
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
 
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
 
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Goin away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
(Goin away yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
(Goin away yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do

**friends**

I have just realized that I have the COOLEST and TRUE friends in college and one of them is my good good friend, ouel. It just hit me this noon time when we were having lunch. While we were falling in line to take our order, we talked about his blog and there's a certain entry of his that involved me. Well, as common it may sound it was about my love life with mark. He knew that mark doesn't call or text me anymore and worst of all he didn't greet me on my birthday. He knew all about it because my other good  friend krista told him since a few weeks ago. I was so moved by him when he showed his concerns and care for me. I didn't expect him to cheer me up that much. He gave an advice that I should let go and move on. He even gave me hugs to comfort me and then we also talked about his lovelife with one of my fellow "barkada" in college. Our conversation will continue one of these days or weeks depending on our school work because we both didn't give the details about our topics.

I am so thankful to have ouel, krista and andre as my friends whom I can open up with this kind of topic. They showed their care for me and comforts me alot which I heartily appreciate it. :)

hmm.. are they the friends whom i keep on praying for? well, time will tell how far our friendships will go even if we don't have any problems to share with each other.

pillow too wet

**huh?!**

It's been AGES since I last wrote here. I missed so much details these past few months. Well, that's life, sometimes you're laid-back and there are times that you're so busy that you forget to eat your meal. Let me have a recap on the things that I have missed to mention. I have a new group of friends, there are 10 of us. Composed of two different groups fused together, it started with a group that has 5 members in which that has only 1 girl [that's me] and the other with also 5 members that has only 1 boy [martin]. We or should i say I, didn't expect that this would happen. But then it did and I am happy about it. Now there are 10 of us namely: TJ, Dave, Andre, Ouel, Ka-te, Candice, Krista, Krista and Andy. Another thing that I missed is that I survived Botany and Philosophy [Logic] with the help of St. Jude Thaddeus of course! If it weren't for Him I would have lost my scholarship last second semester. I go and attend novena every Thursday at St. Jude church with some friends, we light candles that are colored Peach because it is believed that the colored Peach candles symbolizes your studies. There are other colors too that symbolizes other stuff such as:

Green - financial
Pink - love
Blue - career
Brown - health
Red - peace and hope
Violet - spirit
Yellow - in general
White - purity/ enlightenment

I remember, I almost fainted during the novena because of the torrid weather here in Manila. Good thing we stopped by KFC and some of my friends ordered something to eat so that they may be able to get a glass of water. I'm glad they did, because I was dehydrated and badly needed to drink water. Hmm.. What else to say? In our Zoology class, we skinned and dissected a frog and pih-hiyu!!! Boy was it stinky. It's stench was so foul that it makes you wanna barf and it loses your appetite to eat. But eventually, we got used to the smell. I guess that's it for now, it's getting late and it's past my bedtime 2 hours ago. This will be continued tomorrow perhaps. I have to review my lectures 'cos we'll be having quizzes this Friday and I want to get a satisfying score. Wish me luck!
