I just read Gracey's blog. Golly, I so love her two entries: "He's Just Not Into You" by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tucillo & "Embrace."

I must say that some parts of "He's Just Not Into You" are so T-R-U-E. Here are some of my I-can-relate-parts:

1. He will always be able to play the "friend" card on you. He only has to be responsible for the expectations of a friend, rather than the the far greater expectations of a boyfriend. He's got the ultimate situation: a great friend with all the benefits of a girlfriend, whom he can see or not see whenever he wants to. He may be one of your closest friends, but I'm sorry to say ... as a boyfriend, he's just not that into you.

2. My friends all say I should stop talking to him, but I think he misses me, and I like that. I miss him. I feel if I stay in touch with him, it will remind him of how great I am, and eventually he will realize that we should be together again.

3. A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves. If he's not calling you to tell you he loves you and wants you back, it should only be because he's showing up at your new residence to do it in person ... if he's not doing any of that, he may love you, he may miss you, but ultimately he's just not that into you. Stop taking his calls and let him know what it's like to live without you.

4. Don't be flattered that he misses you. He should miss you. You're deeply missable. Remember, the only reason he can miss you is because he's choosing, every day, not to be with you.

5. He's sniffing for something better, and when he doesn't find it, he gets lonely and comes "home." It's not that he's so into you. It's that he's so not into being alone.

6. No matter how powerful and real your feelings may be for someone, if that person cannot fully and honestly return them and therefore actively love you back, these feelings mean nothing.

7. Being lonely ... being alone ... for many people ... sucks. I get it, I get it, I get it. But still I have to say that yes, my belief is that being with somebody who makes you feel shitty or doesn't honor the person you are is worse.

I CAN RELATE. Again. Kars, magising ka na, please. He's just not into you. Sob.
Anyway, here's another one, Urbandub's Embrace. Like Gracey, I so love their lyrics too! For the record, I was never really into Urbandub, until I fell inlove with my ex-boyfriend. Damn. It was when I realized that their songs were not bad afterall.

Gracey, here are some of my fave lines:

Am I reaching out to nothing? Please tell me that I'm not too late Don't shut me out take back things said That were never meant…

Cuz it feels like the end of it all We're strangers again All promise is lost Cuz it feels like the end of it all Could this be the end Of something beautiful?

She's caught up in my system A good drug is so hard to find Leaving me dry renounce you off my body Cuz to be with you once more I close my eyes.

-seventeen-

Watching the world that I love crumbling down Hurting the ones that I love See their tears falling down I am weak I have failed you again

-seventeen-

Honestly, this distance is what's killing me I lied when I said waiting was fine I need you here with me now Cuz every hour hurts Except the last one kills.

You don't need to stop your world I just want you to include me These damn circumstances You didn't have to lie Why was I weak? Why did we let it go?

-seventeen-

this separation is killing me you say I should've thought that before I did what I have done so easier to put the blame on you I should've looked inside of me But it's all in vain as I try to explain She pulls away…

We could've been more Can we ever have these feelings again? We should've been more Maybe in time we'll realize that maybe Fate reveals the remedies Making it feel like it will be like the first time

Still the vision on my mind Cuz now I realize it's so damn hard to give you up no way out of this hole can we ever have us back again? let's not start and put the blame part away can you honestly say you can see me with another one? Another one, another chance with you I want more, I want more, I want more.

-seventeen-

Drive me away cuz the night just feels right take me away with you tonight anywhere with you.

-seventeen-

Is this the beginning of our last dance? Once around the floor, can we do it again? I feel the thrill from words we say, I love you.

Embrace so much tighter This could be our last together Heaven sheds tears for the wounded hearts Our forever has been torn apart

Hold me in closer, don't let go of me

-seventeen-

I'm so sick of you and love.

-seventeen-

Tears flood the streets at 3 Drowning out my broken heart Loneliness spreads it's arms It embraces me. And kills me so slowly It kills me so slowly.

Mapapaemote ka talaga sa lyrics ng Urbandub. Well, atleast I do. Haha! It's so good to know someone na gusto din ang gusto mo. *Apir* Miss you, gurlfriend!

'til then!

Let's take it slow?

















BLANKO.

I failed to recite during our Lit class awhile ago, since I was too preoccupied reviewing for our quiz in Pharma. After reading J.H. Newman's Lead Kindly Night and John Milton's On His Blindness, I've realized two things--that we should surrender ourselves to God for he knows what's best for us, and that we should not question every challenge He's giving to us for he won't give us something beyond our ability. He may not be giving me something I've been praying for at present, but I know that He has something else to give. Something better. Something I truly deserve. I'd just have to wait for that moment, where God will let me see the beauty of His plans for me. I may be experiencing not-so-good events in my life right now, but I know that this too shall pass. I can get thru this. With God beside me, there's no need to worry. He is in control. ;-)

I want to be someone's answered prayer. I want to include that in my everyday prayer. Para maiba naman. Haha. ;-)

I also want to find a lifetime partner who'd love me like Elizabeth Barrett Browning loved her husband, Robert Browning. A love that's true.. unconditional.. immortal.

"I shall but love thee better after death." -- I so love this line. ;-)

Oh, I'm sooo lovin' Lit!! Though ang baba magbigay ng grade. Tsk. Iba talaga epekto ng mga literary pieces ni Sir. Haha. ;-)

Haay.

Anyway, my sister bought a pair of Havs with Swarovski crystals on it. Don't even bother asking about the price. It's so not worth it! Haha. ;-) *Sorry Ate Trina, it's way too pricy kasi talaga eh.*

" If he truly loved me, he should have done something to have me back after I turned him down. Cuz no matter how cruel the situation was, if he really loved me, then he would have made a way no matter how hard the circumstance was. "

Do i need to elaborate?

I don't think it's necessary.
