The Art of Letting Go

"Sometimes, you just have to put your arms around each other one last time and just . . . let go."

- Gossip Girl

Let's face it! Most of us choose to hold on to someone (or something) who have hurt us, lied to us, betrayed us, or disappoint us. Why? Simply because they make us happy. Or so we think. But do they really make us happy? Or is it just an excuse to hang on to them because we think the pain of them hurting us is more bearable than the pain of losing them? Oh, the silly things people would do in the name of love. We are so willing to play the role of martyrs and masochists. How do you know when it's time to let go? That is the question.

A. When we're hurting too much.

B. When we feel like all hope is lost.

C. When we see them happy with someone else.

D. None of the above.

The Fault in Our Stars

"I'm in love with you and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you."

Paper Towns

"The way I figure it, everyone gets a miracle. Like, I will probably never be struck by lightning, or win a Nobel Prize, or become the dictator of a small nation in the Pacific Islands, or contract terminal ear cancer, or spontaneously combust. But if you consider all the unlikely things together, at least one of them will probably happen to us. I could have seen it rain frogs. I could have stepped foot on Mars. I could have been eaten by a whale. I could have married the queen of England or survived months at sea. But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman." (John Green's Paper Towns: Prologue)

It's not you, it's me!

Paano kung ang dating nilalanggam sa tamis na pagsasamahan ay para nang sampalok na pwede nang pakuluan para gawing paasim sa sinigang na niluluto ng nanay mo? Paano kung ang inakala mong pag-iibigang walang hanggan ay may hangganan pala at ngayon ay para ka nang ampalaya na dapat ibabad sa mainit na tubig para kahit paano ay mawala ang pait? Paano kung ayaw na niya sayo? Paano kung wala ng "kayo"?

Let's get cheesy! Again. ♥

My post where I wrote a letter for my future boyfriend was a hit. Thank you very much to all you guys who appreciated it. At the same time, I am really sorry for the cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, Edam and all the kinds of cheese you have to take in just to get through that post. Tee-hee! But hold up, sit back and relax for there is a lot more! ☺

Yesterday, a friend asked me about the songs that I want to dedicate to my future hubby. I couldn't answer right away. If you know me real well, you know that I have a great passion for music. I know a lot of songs, I adore a lot of them. And from that lengthy list, I just can't pick five right away. So now, after writing a letter for my future hubby last week, I am going to share with you 10 songs that I will dedicate to him. I am saving the best for last so I am putting my top choice at the end of the list. Now, off you go . . .
