The Past..

 10th grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the boy next to me. he was my so called "best friend". I stared at him short, silky hair, and wished he was mine. But he didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, he walked up to me and asked me for the notes he had missed the day before and handed them to him. he said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade

The phone rang. On the other end, it was him. he was in tears, mumbling on and on about how his love had broke his heart. he asked me to come over because he didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to him on the sofa, I stared at his soft eyes, wishing he was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, he decided to go to sleep. he looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year 

The day before prom he walked to my locker. My date is sick" he said; she's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at him as he smiled at me and stared at me with his crystal eyes. I want him to be mine, but he isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then he said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day  

A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as him perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get his diploma. I wanted him to be mine, but he didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, he came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged him. Then he lifted his head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later  

Now I sit in the pews of the church. That boy is getting married now. I watched him say "I do" and drive off to his new life, married to another man. I wanted him to be mine, but he didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before he drove away, he came to me and said "you came!". he said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell him, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral

Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a boy who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry he had wrote in his high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.

Me and You

When I first talked to you

I felt like I had known you forever,

telling you my problems

and what I didn't want ever.

You listened to me

I bet you thought I'd never end,

who would have thought

we would be the best of friends.

Over a period of time,

I got to know the real you.

A guy so charming and gentle,

with a heart so true.

You've survived your life

with me by your side.

I told you I'd never leave

because of the feelings I have inside.

There was a time

I wanted to explore,

what would have happened

if I would only open the door.

I know you

like no one I have ever known,

and sometimes I wonder

what do I do when we're alone?

So I have decided

time answers all.

If it is meant to be

time will remove the wall.

Standing between us,

holding us back,

allowing us to feel

It's the relationship that we lack.

I love the way we are together,

you can always make me smile.

Will it ever really be forever?

I guess I will have to wait awhile.

Time will reveal, what lies ahead

but always remember

what I have said.

Meeting you has changed my life

and I really love you so,

the feelings I feel for you

I am never letting go.

Remember me always

and I will too.

I will always think of

me and you.

THIS IS HOW WE MISS OUT SOMETHING CALLED 'LIFE'

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.

When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?

ANSWER :
The husband just said ' I am with you Darling '

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. ' A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step ' . Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

This story is really worth reading. ..... Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out something called L.I.F.E .

Something for life

The other day, I was thinking that these social networking sites, internet, messengers has already trapped us in “The Matrix v 0.1 alpha”. Our half day is spent on these virtual sites which has nothing in real in them. Day by day, everyone is being so much involved in these sites that they are actually loosing the values of reality. Or in other words, the reality of real relations.

Everyone has their own reasons of using these sites and defending them and I have my own reasons of getting away from these sites. I have been maintaining my Facebook activities from last 3 months to see how much change I have gone through. To my astonish, there is remarkable change. Here is my activity graph. You can see, there is steady decline in it. A decline from 680 notifications to 454 a month.

Now the question is, why is it so? Why a geek like me, who is into computers, into almost every social site is being frustrated by all these things. Well, honestly speaking, I don’t even know. But what I feel is that the reality is way more important than these virtual things. Talking to someone in real is way more freshening rather reading someone’s status messages and commenting on them or having a conversation on MSN.

How To Move On After Break-up..

Break-ups can be difficult and painful, but the important thing to remember is that a break up is not the end of the world. Sometimes a break-up can even be a good thing because it will give you a chance to re-evaluate your life, and maybe even lead you to find someone more suitable. The truth is, that you can move on after a break-up no matter how bad it may have been.

 

 

 

Instructions:

• Give yourself plenty of time to heal and recuperate. Remember that time heals all wounds. Put away pictures, gifts or any mementos that remind you of your ex. It is natural to experience feelings of denial, but do your best to resist the urge to call your ex and ask to get back together. Immediately after a break-up, you are at your most vulnerable state, so be careful not to get into a rebound relationship that may prove to be a mistake. Avoid some of the pitfalls, such as drowning your sorrows in alcohol, and instead channel all of your energy into positive activities that make you feel good about yourself.

• Surround yourself with friends and loved ones. Talk about how you're feeling and allow them to comfort you and offer you advice. A break-up can be a very lonely experience, so surrounding yourself with others you love and trust will help to erase some of the loneliness. Don't try to deal with the experience all by yourself. Go out and meet new people, rebuild old relationships, network and immerse yourself into social situations. Keep yourself busy doing things you enjoy with the people you love, and don't dwell on the past.

• Go out and have fun. Don't stay home and sulk, as it will only make you feel more miserable. Round up a group of friends and hit the town. Do something fun and exciting, such as a night of dancing or bar hopping. Plan a weekend beach or camping trip or take a quick out-of-town getaway. Going out with friends will remind you that being single can be just as fun as being in a relationship. It will also help to keep your mind off your ex.

Poem for My Bestfriend..

I have a best friend..
And this poem is made specially for her..
She’s always there when i need her…
She’s with me always with open arms…

Someone whom i can always talk to..
Someone i can share secrets too..
Someone whom i can depend on..
Someone that i can always get along…

She cares for me and treats me as her little sister..
She protects me from those who are bitter…
She gives advise when i have problems..
She stays with me when i can’t take it any longer…

She’s with me thru the good times..
She’s with me thru the bad times…
She’s with me in happiness…
She’s with me in sadness…

We have a lot of things in common..
And that when we’re together nobody else can summon…
For we have this strong foundation at all cost…
And so proud to say that until now we’re here for each other..that’s what matters most…

There are days that are not ok with us..
Sometimes we quarrel for things that sometimes hurts us..
But still we find ways to solve and patch things up…
Problems are nothing and this will not cause our frriendhip to tear up…

I am thankful to God that i have met her..
I am grateful to God that i found her…
We’re already friends when we are teeners..
And for sure friendship will last until when we’re older…

Thank you sis for the friendship..
Trully this i will cherish..
No matter what happens i’ll always be right here…
Together hand in hand there’s nothing to fear

My Ideal Man :)

                                   

When I was a teenager, I had this stringent list of what my ideal man should be: handsome, well-off, caring, understanding, God-fearing, intelligent – ” I could have gone on and on then about what qualities my partner should have. However, as I grew older, I realized that I could never really find a real person who met all these sterling qualities.

Building a my-ideal-man-list is much like this e-mail that I received which made me laugh out loud, it’s entitled “My Ideal Man Checklist”. At age 20, the checklist goes much like the list that I had on my notes. Another revised list is made at ages 32, 42, 52, 62 and by the age of 72 there are only a couple of items on the list: that the man should be breathing and not miss the toilet. Well, that's the full version to enjoy:

all about personalities

We all come in different SHAPES and SIZES.

We all have STRENGTHS and weaknesses.

What's right for one person may not be right for another.

There are things that are important to me, that you don't care about at all!

And sometimes your behavior doesn't make any sense to me.

But I want for us to understand each other, and communicate well,            
because we live together in the same world.          

I know I can't expect you to want the same things that I want.

We are not the same person, so we will not always see things the same way.
I have my own Thoughts and my own Ideas,                                        

that may or may not fit into your vision of who I should be.

By learning more about my own Personality, and about other Personality Types,

I can come to a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.    

I can improve my interpersonal relationships, realign my expectations towards others,
and gain a better self-knowledge that will help me define and achieve goals.

t0gether Again..

"In life, as in art, some endings are bittersweet. Especially when it comes to love. Sometimes fate throws two lovers together only to rip them apart. Sometimes the hero finally makes the right choice but the timing is all wrong. And, as they say, timing is everything. Looks like this story might just have a second act. Let's hope it's not a tragedy."

"See, that's the thing about second chances. It's two people that are there for each other and support each other and care about each other no matter how much they want to deny it. It's about one person doing everything they can to make sure the other doesn't fall and vice-versa. Second chances are about holding on to that other persons hand no matter how hard they beg to let go."

Maybe I wasn't asking you to love me, maybe I was asking you to understand, because for so long I've been hurt and for so long you've ignored it, and maybe it is bad timing, but maybe, I don't care. I've been here all along just waiting, waiting for you to notice, waiting for you to care. Waiting for you to say that you've been waiting too, and you haven't and maybe you never will or maybe you're afraid to. But it all hurts the same, and in the end, I'm the one that's left broken and when I lay down to sleep, I'm still the one crying, so screw the bad timing. I've loved you then, like I love you now, like I probably always will."
