I think there's no point in holding grudges because at the end of the day, everyone still made their own share of mistakes.
None of us is made perfectly by the Almighty. We are all bound to commit errors, mistakes, failures, evils, however you want to name it. We can never expect a person to please us fully, but we also don't have the right to reject them for not pleasing us. We might just as well be neutral about the whole damn thing. It's always better to resolve things by letting them be since we don't have control over them anyway. Finally, It would have since been better if we all have just lived our life peacefully.
The big question would always lead to: why would we even want to have hard feelings with someone whom we can't even avoid? There is just no point. None at all. Because he/she will still be who he/she used to be and we just have to accept it. Accepting is not hard. We learned to accept our dirty little selves in the first place.

P.S.
I call for PEACE.
Let us all wave our white flags. :)
This is for my people who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hands way up high
We will never say bye.. no, no, no
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people who lost their GRANDMOTHERS
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings, and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show becuase
YOU LOVED ME and obviously
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE LEFT TO SAY
If you were with me today face to face
I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD HURT LIKE THIS
AND EVERYDAY LIFE GOES ON LIKE
"I WISH I COULD TALK TO YOU FOR A WHILE"
MISS YOU BUT I TRY NOT TO CRY
AS TIME GOES BY
AND IT'S TRUE THAT YOU'VE REACHED A BETTER PLACE
STILL I'D GIVE THE WORLD TO SEE YOUR FACE
AND BE RIGHT HERE NEXT TO YOU
BUT IT'S LIKE YOU'RE GONE TOO SOON
NOW THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS SAY BYE BYE
AND YOU NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO SEE HOW GOOD I'VE DONE
AND YOU NEVER GOT TO SEE ME BACK AT NUMBER 1
I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER
I WISH THAT WE COULD SPEND THE HOLIDAYS TOGETHER
I remeber when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight
I THOUGH YOU WERE SO STRONG
YOU'D MAKE IT THROUGH WHATEVER
IT'S SO HARD TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GONE FOREVER.
I love you so much Lola. Though I know we were not able to spend as much time, you already had, have and always will occupy a special place in my heart. I will miss the "appears" before I leave your room, the jokes and the kwentos. Maybe I did expect you to live longer, but I don't blame you for choosing to leave. You are in a better place and I am happy for you. Till we see each other again. I LOVE YOU.
Jeanne
* P.S. After a year and a half, I am finally able to let my feelings out.
The experience gets even better when you share it with great friends.
Sometimes, we just reach the point in our lives wherein we simply accept the fact that we cannot have all things the way we want them to. We can't expect everything to go the way we planned it, and we can never expect things to turn out the way we hoped for.
Today, as I was surfing through the net and once again, adding potential buyers in my multiply account, I couldn't help but realize that even though I really wanted things to work for me and for the business, it just wouldn't happen. I guess, we have to endure the fact that things aren't always going to follow our lead, and we should take time to sincerely understand how things would work for us. We are not magical cretaures who can just make things happen with just a flick of a wand. We are normal people created by God to work hard for everything we want to have. Reality check: every coin in our purse is the very result of all the patience, efforts, stress and frustrations we have gone through.
With every minute and every second that passes, I realize more and more how important it is to value every cent we own becauce every piece of metal coin we have in our fist is acquired by consecutive difficulties.

Sometimes we get too overwhelmed by the new things that come in; we fail to take a second look on those that we have known before.
This happened very randomly.
I was surfing through the net. I learned more about him. I see him differently.
I guess what made him special, compared to all the other guys I know, is his unique way of saying I am a MAN that exists in this childish world maturely.
I don't like like him that much though. I just admire him for sticking up to what he really likes and disregards all the negative infuences around him. That's the kind of man this world needs. :)

Most of the time, we barely notice the things that are always readily available to us. We take them for granted just because we know that they are still going to be there the next day. Truth of the matter is, everything in this world is made to be rotten. Everything is bound to an end, and none of them can actually last forever.
I can't believe that despite my knowledge of this fact, I still take some of things for granted.
A few minutes ago, I broke my slim black hairband. I knew, even before that happened, that I love it because I already lost it before, yet I still took little care of it. I put it in my head as if it is some unbreakable plastic that would last till I get old. Unfortunately, my very inconsiderate ways ended it poor life.
I know I shouldn't really fuss about it becuase it's only a 40 peso headband, but I guess its sentimental value is the one that caused the hurt and the flicker of pain in my heart. I couldn't get it out of my head so I really had to blog about it. This would lead me to another discussion later on. As of now, I am going to continue my story about my dear one. I searched for that slim black headband for a long time. I first got a white one and I was desperate to get hold of a black, so went to almost every Girlshoppe store I knew just so I could I find one. Luckily, I was able to get the last piece in Rockwell. With that alone, I should really have took good care of it becase it would cause me another round of trouble to get another one. But, I didn't. I am seriously disappointed with myself right now. I could barely take responsiblity on those small things then what more on the bigger ones?
Anyway, the whole point is, we should never really take things for granted no matter how small or unnoticeable they are because at some point in our lives, we would greatly mourne over its lose.
Next discussion. How come people are starting to get too attached to material things? A headband? Common man. We got a lot more things to be hurt about, yet these very little pieces in our lives already causes us pain. Can it be caused by the possiblity that we are becoming more materialistic? Or are we simply degrading the level of humans in this world?

"a sad truth: people will LOVE and ADORE you for the HUNDRED of GOOD things you've done for them but will HATE you for a SINGLE MISTAKE."
TRUE ENOUGH.

I had just lost another friend. He already got two of my friends :(
I hope they're both happy with Him.
Please pray for the soul of Audrey Go that she may rest in peace.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to know you better.
You are still my classmate, my batchmate, and my friend. Now and Forever.

P.S. She died of cancer. Such a fucked up disease spreading in this world. I hope it ends soon before it gets more of our friends and family. :(
Quotable Quotes from one of my favorite books:
Tuesdays with Morrie
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you shouldn't take anything for granted."
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
" Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently."
"Learn how to die, and you'll learn how to live."
"The facr is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family."
"If you don't have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from your family, you don't have much at all."
"There's no experience like having children. That's all. There's no substitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover. If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children."
"Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent."
"By throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head evenm you experience them fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what giref is. And only then can you say, 'All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment.' "
"If you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone."
"Do the kinds of things that come fro the heart. When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes back."
"Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is our shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be. We should be looking at our potentials, stretching ourselves into everything we can become. But if you're surrounded by people who say 'I want mine now', you end up with a few people with everything and a military to keep the poor ones from rising up and stealing it."
"It's not just other people we need to forgive; we also need to forgive ourselves. For ll the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened."
"As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You can live on - in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nutured while you were here."
"Love is when you are as concerned about someone else's situation as you are about your own."

"Walang perfect na guy as a person pero may guy na perfect for you" - Jay Fortich
This issue has caused me a lot of trouble for months now. I keep on telling my friends there is something wrong with me becuase I get tired of guys easily. I guess, at some point, there is something wrong because I also expect too much when as a matter of fact i shouldn't. However, Jay's words made me realize that I shouldn't give up just because things aren't going so well. In time, we'll all get our chance, maybe not later, not tomorrow or the day after, but all of us will still have it in the grip of our hands.
I quoted this from my good friend Alex Mendoza's blogspot, "La Bella Vita". This means "one step closer to a beautiful life". Every day we are all getting closer to the life that we hoped for because we face and we learn from every challenge placed upon us. We don't give up, we fight and though we may fall sometimes, we still grow.
xoxo,
Jeanne
P.S. I didn't know you had it in you Jay. Indeed, it's the better side of you. cheerio! :)
