Cozy place

A friend of mine has so many great ideas of how we can all cozy up somewhere without the need for extravagance. You can put a small lamp (photo) on a table in your patio and invite your special someone for an early evening drinks at home. No need to spend so much and the [...]

Never settle

My sister has this old lady friend that was formerly her co-worker and now one of her really good friends. She is older than me and clearly on the path of being single for the rest of her life. She has one man in her life who is not really pursuing her but just obviously [...]

Unaware of worldly stuff

They became friends when they were in their teens. The guy somehow had this ‘thing’ for the girl but for some reason he didn’t pursue her. They were an ‘item’ but short of being a boyfriend and girlfriend. The girl was in love with the boy but the latter was vague on his feelings for [...]

In the spirit of love

Someone once told me to do things out of love and it will not feel overworked. It will not feel uncomfortable or done mechanically. If something is done in the spirit of love, it is more genuine. We live life that way. I think one of the reasons why I am happy still being single [...]

Romance in the work place

I am reminded of two bosses who had an open-secret affair… of a co-worker who asked me out and wanted me to accompany him to his parents’ anniversary party (which was so weird considering it would be our first time to date!)… of a friend who went out with her boss who eventually became her [...]

Summer romance

Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast… Met a boy cute as can be Summer days drifting away To, oh, oh, the summer nights…

But, by God, there’ll be dancing!

George Downes: The misery, the exquisite tragedy. The Susan Hayward of it all. I can just picture you there, sitting alone at your table in your lavender gown. Julianne Potter: Did I tell you my gown was lavender? George Downes: Hair swept up. Haven’t touched your cake. Probably drumming your fingernails on the white linen [...]

A fantasy…

Oh yes, I am a bookworm. I admit as much. I also love a man who can spend time inside the library or bookstore without getting restless and impatient after just about a minute or two. I prefer a man who can read and converse with me about anything under the sun. I prefer the [...]

Change of heart

I’ve had a change of heart. If you must know, and if you’ve been reading this blog, you know that I didn’t have any plans of ever getting married. No plans at all of ever settling down. But just recently, my sister and I were talking late into the night about the future. My sister [...]

Terrified of being in love

For some people, being in love means losing control of one’s emotions. It is akin to spiraling out of control. That’s why many are terrified of being in love. I know this person who is not that keen on falling in love. Nope, she wasn’t burned yet. But she is jaded when it comes to [...]

That’s what love is for

Accepting someone for who s/he is Loving unconditionally Forgiving, forgetting Standing beside him or he for better or worst Being with him or her no matter what Giving only the best That is how I view love. That is how I will live it. Breathe it. That’s what love is for to me. *Title of [...]

The one that got away

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with.. and the [...]

Broken Vow

I’ll close my eyes, then I won’t see The love you don’t feel when you’re holding me Morning will come and I’ll do what’s right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight Cause I cant make you love me if you don’t You can’t make [...]

Walking in the rain on a Sunday morning

Funny how I didn’t feel any negative feeling that night. Just happiness. I was so happy seeing you after a long time. It was a totally great feeling that threatened to overwhelm me… Then walking in the rain made me realize so many things. For so long I’ve kept you in my heart. Crazy, yes. [...]
