        <p><br />I came across this poem - or probably just a simple message - while I was browsing the net. And the message caught my attention. It describes my exact emotions at that time... an emotion I didn&#39;t want to entertain. Anyways, lemme share it with you..</p><p><br /><span style="color: #666666">For a heart that &#39;s been torn, <br />There&#39;s not much you can do but to understand.<br />Remember these words?<br />&quot;Don&#39;t worry I will free you, when it&#39;s finally time for you to go...&quot;<br />There&#39;s no easy way to let go of something that I know will never happen again<br />But I will face the world around me knowing that I am strong enough to let you go.<br />I&#39;m aware that you only came into my life for a while,<br />And that time will come I have to give you up;<br />Then that&#39;s the end of it; <br />There goes my life.</p><p>You left me at the very moment that I can&#39;t give you up...<br />I cry for the memories, I cry for the pain;<br />I cry for the times I thought I had you...</p><p>Wish you see the tears run from my eyes<br />Coz it spells the truth about how I really feel inside...<br />Don&#39;t worry, my tears won&#39;t blame you...<br />Those are just the words my heart uses to explain,<br />When even my smiles can&#39;t cover up my pain...</p><p>It&#39;s been a while, still I can&#39;t get out from your shadow;<br />Til this very moment I&#39;m still trying ti pick up those pieces...<br />Thank you for the love and the pain,<br />The pain that I&#39;ll always remember...</p><p>Even now, my heart still aches in sadness <br />And secret tears still flow.<br />One day I can say...<br />Finally I&#39;M OVER YOU...</p><p>You are still with me ,<br />Even though you&#39;re not on my side.<br />One day, I will be able to stand next to you<br />Without wanting to hold your hand....</p><p>Somewhere down my journey, <br />I will fall in love again,<br />I know... I can...</p><p><br /></span></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>It&#39;s been a while since I posted a blog...&#160; But why is it this time, I feel uncomfortable writing
about my feelings? Coz no matter
how hard I try to deny it, it&#39;s coz of my pride... I know, you&#39;ve been
reading my blogs... and this time, I don&#39;t want you to know about my
feelings... that I&#39;m back at it again... even just for a day... Here I
go again...</p><p>Maybe it&#39;s because I&#39;ve been watching the raindrops
on my windowpane, or maybe it&#39;s how gloomy the sky looked when I went
out earlier... whatever it is, I&#39;m back at it again... so here I go
again...</p><p><br />Here I go again... wondering about you for the
first time in weeks... missing you, reminiscing the days I still had
your heart... and I look back still with a smile... what we had was
indeed uniquely special... and now, with tears in my eyes, I still
can&#39;t see what went wrong... why you&#39;re no longer here in my arms...</p><p>I
dunno if this feeling was brought about by a sad experience I recently
had about letting go of someone who was never mine... It somehow made
me wonder if I really fell for that person because of who he is, or did
I fall for the idea that finally I found someone I could possibly have
a relationship with? But I knew from the start that he could never be
mine...</p><p>So here I go again... trying to fight the feeling of being hurt, of being wretched. Afflicted by unfortunate circumstances. </p><p>I never thought I&#39;d be feeling this way so soon.... but heck, I just wish that it would soon be gone; as sudden as it came.</p>    <p style="clear:both;">

        <p></p><p>Last night was one of the &quot;fun nights&quot; of my life. It started out as a dinner with friends. They wanted to hear the story of how my ex finally ended things and said &quot;GOODBYE&quot;. At first, the atmosphere was kind of emotional. But eventually, they were happy when I told them that I was more relieved than hurt. Because finally I can completely move on with my life. I&#39;m free to do anything I want.</p><p>Now, it&#39;s the morning after... How am I? Honestly? Though I still have to catch up on my sleep, the most important thing that I now have is PEACE OF MIND. No more hoping, worrying, wondering... no more what ifs and what might have beens with my ex. </p><p>Also, I think having enough time to slowly recover and move on had one good benefit: I don&#39;t have any bitterness towards him; towards what he did. At least now I got the &quot;final detail&quot; to complete my moving on. And last night, that&#39;s what we celebrated! LOL.&#160; Thanks to Vince from jagermeister for the free booze =)</p><p>Well, I just hope one day we can be friends again. That&#39;s how we started, I hope that&#39;s also how we&#39;ll end it. Maybe not for now, because I know we both need time to heal; or at least I need to be completely healed. </p><p>Oh well, I&#39;m very much looking forward to new challenges (and guys!) that will come my way. I know I&#39;m smarter now and more equipped with experiences and lessons that I learned from them.</p><p>AJA!</p><p><br /></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p></p><p>Last night was a long night for me. With the confusion of whether or not to accept my ex&#39;s proposal to go back or not.</p><p>But guess what? My ex, &quot;toffee&quot; finally gave me the closure that I was waiting for... finally he said goodbye. </p><p>I never thought it could hurt this much, but it did. I cried the whole night.... hoping that with each teardrop, the pain would lessen and eventually fade...</p><p>I knew this was bound to happen. I was already expecting it. But even though I was prepared, it still hurt me so much. But I&#39;m better and stronger this time. Somehow I have already picked up the pieces and soon I know I&#39;ll be ready to face the new challenges in my life.</p><p>So, I guess, this is my time to finally say GOODBYE. Thank you for the memories, for the love, for the experience. I just hope one day, we could be friends again. That&#39;s how we started, I hope that&#39;s also how we&#39;ll end it. What we had was something uniquely special and I hope someday, we&#39;ll both look back to those days and smile at the memories. Sorry for the cliche, but, you&#39;ll always have a special place in my heart, in my life. </p><p>I know I&#39;ll be ok. At least now, making a decision for me of whether to accept my ex or not is easier. Maybe soon, but not now. I want to take my time to completely heal and forget. Before I enter into another relationship.</p><p>GOODBYE&#160; TJ...</p>

<p><br /><div><br />I know I should be in bed by now... have to start early tomorrow morning. A lot of work waiting for me. But this thought is leaving me restless... much more, being hundreds of miles away from him makes things more difficult.<br /><br />Is he really back for real? Or was it just the effect of alcohol? LOL.<br /><br />Seriously, I know we should sit down and talk to settle things... are we back for real? But I know I&#39;m scared to ask for us to have this conversation because I&#39;m not ready to answer him if he asks me to make this thing exclusive for us... <br /><br />I had this conversation with a friend earlier... a friend a lot older than me (I need the wisdom of older people). I told her my dilemma and she asked me how I felt for both guys. I couldn&#39;t accept her theory that it&#39;s just me who doesn&#39;t want to let go of my ex, &quot;toffee&quot;. It could be my pride, she doesn&#39;t know. As for &quot;star&quot;, she has witnessed our story. And she knows his situation. And she told me that she couldn&#39;t see anything wrong if I decide to go back to him. Maybe that&#39;s where I was headed all along... It was him whom I had to recover from when I started dating &quot;toffee&quot;.&#160; And probably, now, he (star), has finally made up his mind... he chose to be with me. Now everything&#39;s up to me. But I&#39;m leaving things up to &quot;toffee&quot;. <br /><br />Should I start making efforts to make him (toffee) talk to me if only to have things settled? Is asking for a &quot;time out&quot; his way of saying goodbye? I don&#39;t want to make any decisions / moves unless I&#39;m sure that whatever I had with him is settled and given closure. <br /><br />He asked me for time to &quot;heal&quot; and I promised to wait for him... if I decide to go back to my ex, it would be like breaking my promise... even though everybody&#39;s telling me that there&#39;s nothing to wait for anymore. He hasn&#39;t replied to my emails nor my text messages... that his silence is his way of confirming that we&#39;re through.<br /><br />I guess I&#39;ll just leave it all up to destiny. Whoever is destined for me, so be it. Don&#39;t want to rush nor force things right now. I cannot say that I&#39;m happy being single, but I learned to be contented. <br /></div></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

<br />Are we really back in each other&#39;s arms? Or is it the loneliness that&#39;s tempting me to go back just so I would have someone I could be with... someone I could call mine?

 <div><br /><br /><p>Love comes, love goes,<br />But a sudden feeling never lets me be<br />Somehow, I know,<br /><strong>Quite a part of me isn’t changed since you’ve been gone</strong><br />Like a sturdy tree that&#39;s seen a thousand seasons<br />I’ve to shed my leaves in winter<br />And grow them back in spring<br />To welcome life again<br />To welcome you</p>
<p>So goes, my life<br /><strong>Still believe in dreams of having you around</strong><br />Too bad, memories feed the mind and not the heart<br />Where I want you to be,<br />So I ask myself what you have left behind for me<br />To go on each day and live as if<br />I have you once again<br />What else is there that’s real<br />But all the pain that I feel,</p>
<p><strong>Chorus:</strong><br /><strong>So let the pain remain<br />Forever in my heart<br />For every throb it brings is one more moment<br />Spent with you,<br />I&#39;ll let the pain, bring on the rain<br />If that’s the only way<br />If there’s no other way<br />To be with you again</strong></p>
<p>Too bad memories, feed the mind and not the heart<br />Where I want you to be<br />So I ask myself what you have left behind for me<br />To go on each day<br />And live as if I have you once again<br />What else is there that’s real<br />But all the pain that I feel</p>

        <p><br />Haven&#39;t posted a blog for the longest time, except the other night, the eve of my monthsary.. There&#39;s not much happening in my life. It&#39;s been pretty boring actually. Same old issues, same old routine.</p><p>Today, I just deleted a post. I just thought it&#39;s not right... it&#39;s unfair to him. Maybe I was just overwhelmed by the attention Gio gave me... but it&#39;s done now. Put my feet back on the ground. It&#39;s still &quot;my baby&quot; that I want, I miss and will always love. I know it&#39;s harmless going out on group / friendly dates but I still feel like I&#39;m not being honest.</p><p>I know I have my friends and I&#39;m contented with them. I don&#39;t have to force myself to move on... Only time can tell if we&#39;re destined for each other; the same way time can heal the wounds if we&#39;re really not meant to be.</p><p>Maybe they&#39;re right... maybe I just have to give him time to deal with his past. I know there&#39;s no use wasting time wondering if he&#39;s goin out with other women or not... Coz I trust him enough when he told me he&#39;s not gonna do it.</p><p>I know he still loves me.. I can feel it. And I believe one day, when he&#39;s ready and healed, he&#39;ll come back to me. But until that someday comes, I&#39;ll patiently wait for him. Coz I know my heart is not capable of loving anyone else, except him.</p><p>Enough of my sentiments... Of course I have other activities. One of my bestfriends invited me to try for a commercial shoot. At first I thought I was too old to go back to modeling. I used to be into that when I was in high school &#39;til college. But now, I feel I&#39;m too old for it. But what the heck.. So I went. And it was a fun experience! I forgot how fun it is meeting other people and becoming instant friends with them because of the bonding while waiting for our take.</p><p>I&#39;ll be posting some of our pictures. Unfortunately, I&#39;m not allowed to say what product it&#39;s for. </p><p>So there goes my life. I&#39;m trying to move on... somehow I already did. But I know he will always have my heart. I just hope he still feels the same way too. I hope he knows that I&#39;ll be waiting for him... and that I&#39;ll continue loving him... in silence.</p><p></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p></p><p>Whew! I haven&#39;t updated my blog for several days... so many things going on in my life. I still have to wake up early tomorrow morning because I have an early call time for a commercial shoot... but I couldn&#39;t help posting what I&#39;m feeling right now...</p><p>It&#39;s still too early to be drunk. But tonight I came home drunk from a drinking session with one of my favorite cousins. We had a lot of catching up to do.. and a lot of alcohol to drink! LOL</p><p>Anyways, we were looking for an occasion to justify our drinking spree... and I came up with one : It&#39;s the eve of my monthsary.. me and my love. It&#39;s been months now, but I&#39;m still not over him. I may have moved on, with my life, my career, but not with the affairs of my heart.</p><p>I still want to celebrate this monthsary; celebrating my love for him. I still do love him. And like what I told him in the sms I sent him, I&#39;d rather wait in vain than be with someone else just for the heck of it.</p><p>I&#39;ll have to cut this short. I&#39;m really freakin dizzy... Happy monthsary to my love...<br /></p>   <p style="clear:both;">
