for the chocs and letters that you’ve sent... feeling *kilig* to wake up in the morning- seeing these stuffs! wahaha! ;p
***now, you’re writing! finally! yey!:) these 5 LETTERS are for record breaking! hehe...
but, napa-iisip ako dun sa last one ha... hmmm...?
thanks for the thoughtfulness! mwah! ♥
why i appreciate letters that much?
although it maybe a bit OLD SCHOOL to write and give letters, but, i treasure it, because i can read it over and over again every time i miss you.
if i can just laminate all the sweet text messages on my cellphone, i would do it! but my inbox is already full, so, all of your letters are deeply appreciated. oh well, you can't blame me...i'm certified ♥-S-E-N-T-I- ♥..... :)
it's not easy being led by someone especially when you are blind-folded.
why?
you don't know where you are going.
you have no idea where your destination would be. your sense of sight/ seeing is totally shut-off, your other senses (such as: smell , hear, and touch) will be amplified... and you easily assume of things that are far from truth/ reality/ of what really it is.
even in relationships,
you are both blind-folded.
you both don't know what tomorrow may bring.
it just scares the hell out of you when you just think of what worst things/ scenario that could happen.
and since you don't monitor or see each other 27/7, your imagination sharpens, especially when you cannot help but to entertain CRAZY THOUGHTS on you mind... (even if it has no basis at all)
'The only thing to fear is fear itself'
if nothing isn't there seen to fear.
So what is it that you're fearing, tell me?
If there isn't anything to fear, you're near?
Take the blindfolded from your eyes!
now see the darkness, for what it is!
For light will shine and all fear subside
and your sighted life, will become fear cleared!
THE DANGERS OF THE UNKNOWN ARE AMPLIFIED BY OUR FEARS.
for the first few months or years of relationship, you feel like you both are in cloud 9, invincible , and inseparable...
and you know that as time goes by, these would somehow be shed off.
but, no. life is good. as good as it gets.
you will still be both in cloud 9,
and your love will be much stronger...
although you are blind-folded,
all you have to do is TRUST.
TRUST for each other.
...for it's the Higher Being Who's guiding both of you.
When was the last time you gave someone a letter? I bet it was a long time ago. Maybe we say that letters are not the "in" thing anymore, and it sounds old-fashioned and outdated.
We say that in the dawn of technology, there are so many alternatives in communications.
So, why sweat writing a letter to someone when you can choose from various high-tech ways to get in touch with others. There are many options out there such as electronic mail through Internet and text messaging using our cellular phones, which are undeniably faster and more convenient.
Back in the days when writing letters was a popular way of communication, post-officesreceived tons of letters everyday... and though it seemed to take a thousand years before the letters finally arrived to their destinations, the feeling of receiving one is incomparable!
Especially when it comes from your loved ones, family, or from a long lost friend. Can you still remember when having a "pen-pal" became a hit? SNAIL-MAIL that is! Yes, that was eon years ago.. but, a lot of relationships were made and kept alive through exchanging letters.
And now at the present time, our modern world has a lot to offer, and ways in communication are more accessible. You can interact with different kinds of people from all over the world without having to wait for a long time. Just a click away, and your message is sent and received.
I guess most of you guys out there could not deny the fact that whenever our cell phones beep, we get excited to find out who's sending us a text message. We read "1 Message Received" and it paints a smile on our lips (especially when it comes from "that" special someone) even if it's just a forwarded quote that has been sent to you a bunch of times already. So, you still reply to him/ her. Wait for the "Sending Messaging.." but then it appeared "Check Operator Services"... (argh!!!). Well, this applies when you are on pre-paid! (haha... ;p) Letters on the other hand are more special. A plain note or card of "thank you", "take care", "I Love You", "I'm Sorry", etc... brings joy into our hearts. Even if it's just a simple message on ordinary paper, it becomes extraordinary especially when it is personalized. Because we can see the effort exerted by the person who made it, we appreciate it even more, and read it over and over again.
But as for now, I ran out of load, my account balance is zero and my cellphone is low bat. Yet, the sentimental side of me is knocking. So, I’ll just sit here inside my room, bring out one of my greatest possessions- the letters and some memorabilia that I all keep in a special box. Time for me to reminisce once again and read all the old letters that I treasure from wonderful people that have been part of my life. It never fails to uplift my spirit. Let all the memories become alive once again... It's been quite sometime now since I received a letter.
So, I ask myself " Where have all the letters gone?".
It has been said that something as small as the flutter of butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world (-Chaos Theory)
i sometimes wonder:
had i not done this,
had you not done that,
had i chosen to do this, had you chosen to do that,
it could have been this,
and not like that.
or it could have been that, and not like this.
either one way or another,
it is what it is.
it is what you call : The Butterfly Effect
The point is, we can’t change something without affecting something else in our life.
Every decision we make comes with its downsides and upsides, and it’s our role to make the best out of the outcome, rather than regret and wish we did something else (because it is already in the past).
Looking backwards prevent us from truly living our life.
The best thing to remember is that "Such minor changes, such huge consequences"
That is why, we should be really careful of the choices that we make,
for even that smallest one decision could change everything.
We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
where are we going, so far away
and somebody told me that this is the place
where everything's better, everything's safe
Walk on the ocean
step on the stones
flesh becomes water
wood becomes bone
And half and hour later we packed up our things
we said we'd send letters and all those little things
and they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
it seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came
Now we're back at the homestead
where the air makes you choke
and people don't know you
and trust is a joke
we don't even have pictures
just memories to hold
that grow sweeter each season
as we slowly grow old
my old slippers
had been around whenever i needed them.
had pampered my tired feet after a tough day.
had accepted my feet no matter how dirty and ugly they turned out at times.
had comforted my callused feet from walking on a rough road.
but fate has its harsh way of ending things
we stepped on a lethal nail along the way,
that punctured my old slippers.
...it pained my foot as well. and that's how the voyage had ended.
a couple of years have passed, and a lot of things have changed.
my redeemed feet are now a size bigger, and i have found a new pair of slippers that fits me better.
*** that old slippers should not be the basis standard anymore on how slippers should be.
for my new present slippers signifies new beginnings...NEW LIFE.
my present slippers are unique and have its own way of matching my delicate feet...PERFECTLY.
they're so special and precious to me…
and this time around, we might encounter a bumpy road along the way,
but i hope and pray that my feet and these CHIZEE slippers of mine, would be together for a looooooooong journey to fulfill our shared DREAMS.
.
.
P.S. just like your pair of slippers, there's this ONE person that perfectly fits you.
i love places that make you realize
how tiny you and your problems are...
i guess everyone of us deserves a break.
and once in awhile, we need to take a "pause" from the daily routine..'coz it's the only way that keeps us BALANCE & SANE. when we are so consumed by our personal problems and selfishness...be in a place that makes you realize that THERE'S MUCH MORE TO LIFE.
.
> a place where your thoughts and visions become clear > a place where you get in touch with your forgotten dreams > a place where you feel the endless possibilities
and sometimes,
if you are lucky... (...just like me!)
you get to be in that PLACE with SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
and that is when you can truly say that
you are on your : SWEET ESCAPE.
p.s.
thanks for another unforgettable R&R vacation with you. ^_^
