These are timeless quotes which I have gathered from experience and from
times when I am just bored, contemplating by myself. Some are adapted, but
most, I've composed during my own free time. Hope some of these provide useful
insights for you....

Online Chatting |
|
IRC: the point of contact among lost,
if not lonely souls floating around cyberspace. |
|
The paradoxical thing about online
chatting is that anonymity can lead to pure deception and pretension on
one hand or downright honesty and release of true emotions on the other.
It has become an excellent venue for both playfulness and intimacy. |
|
First
it was hallmark cards, then phones, then chatting and e-cards, then
texting. How far have we gone and how far more will we go to become
impersonal?

On
Love |
| When somebody says he/she FELL in love, did that
person fall from somewhere higher and greater?
|
|
Haven’t you noticed that people either say the
words, “I love you” so often without meaning it or are too
embarrassed/scared to say it when they DO mean it? Unfortunately, rarely
does it happen that people have the courage to say AND mean it at the same
time.
|
| Loving involves two phases: the first intuitive phase
is loving the person because of who he is. The second nobler one is loving
the person despite of who he is not. The first one sparks love. The second
one makes it last.
|
|
One
of the most cruel things about love is making the other fall for you
without being there to catch him/her fall. |
| You cannot force someone to love you.
Sometimes, the greatest love you can give is to let go. |
|
Superficial love is "I Love You
because you are beautiful"; True love is "You are beautiful
because I Love You." |
|
On
Relationships |
| Actions
may speak louder than words, but words are clearer and thus, riskier. |
|
What
may be more important than listening to what the person is telling you is
listening to what he/she is NOT telling you. |
| Pride, fear, embarrassment and too much
intellectual thinking and talking can keep oneself from being true to
one's emotions. |
|
Fact is, no one can truly please
everyone all at the same time. In today's world, where selfish interests
collide, someone's bound to be unpleased. |
| I frown upon people who try to please everyone.
In effect and in reality, they are just trying to please themselves. |
|
A lot of our troubles arise from
miscommunication or the lack of communication. |

How it is to be Human |
| Ayoko makilala bilang isang klaseng tao kundi
isang nagpakatao. |
|
Traveling increases your overall
intelligence. |
|
On
God |
| A blessing in disguise is one of the clearer
manifestations that God works in mysterious ways. |
|
God answers all prayers. Sometimes
though, HIS answer is a 'no'. |
