Sometimes, love dies. And there is no easy explanation for it.
Some of us see it coming. Some of us don’t. but most of us try not to see it at all. Because it is easier to pretend that all is well rather than admit that your dreams have been shattered and you are let only with the broken pieces of your heart.
It hurts to imagine the person we love with someone else. It hurts to no longer be the object o his affections. It hurts to no longer be love be the center o his universe. It hurts to no longer be wanted. It hurts to be discarded, replaced and dumped unceremoniously like an old rag that has outlived its usefulness.
It hurts to no longer be loved.
But it happens everyday to the best among us – to the beautiful, the kind, the smart, the successful, the multi-awarded. It happens to the perfect wife, sister, friend and mother. It happens to the civic leader, the CEO, the cover girl.
Whether or not it’s something we did or didn’t do, sometimes love just dies. And over thinking serve no purpose.
To be loved is a blessing. But to no longer be loved is not necessarily a tragedy.
We’ve been raised since childhood to believe that love must last forever. And perhaps it must. But isn’t it possible to simply be happy for the love you have no matter if it doesn’t last forever? Isn’t it possible to simply savor the moment and become richer by it without wanting to possess it forever? Isn’t it possible to love and let go and love again?
Isn’t it possible to love forever but to love different people overtime?
It’s all right to no longer be loved. It’s all right to stop loving. It’s all right to mourn for love’s losses but to condemn yourself to a lie of misery because your love did not last forever is foolhardy. If love must die, let it go peacefully into the night.
But don’t keep score. Love is not a contest. It is not a competition to see who emerges the prettiest, the craftiest or toughest. Love is what it is – a git. It cannot be forced o anyone. Neither can it be forced out of anyone. So let it be.
When love dies, hold on to the memories. But let go of the one you love.

I got this copy from my friend in University of the Philippines College. He gave this to me last year when I was having a hard time in letting go of the one I love. I hope for the people out there who are having a hard time moving on, I hope you got something on this.

on being a teacher
How does it feel to be a teacher? If you are the one who is having a class?
For those who have experienced it like me, it is fun and at the same time difficult.
The Know Your School Day happened last Jan. 25-26, 2007. Every year this is celebrated to give the teachers time to sit, relax and enjoy. It is also an opportunity for the students to experience being a teacher.
For the past three years I have been always a teacher. So I also decided to apply in becominga teacher this year. I become the Computer teacher in our section. I did not have any lesson to do because Ms, Avergonzado forgot to discuss to me the lesson I amsuppose to give to my classmates. So she decided that the class will just do the cyber fair project. I enjoyed the time in becoming the computer teacher because I had the chance to use the computer used by our teacher. I did not do anything at that time. I just announced to them the deadline for our cyber fair project. Then when it was already time, my experience being a computer teacher ended.
I was so thankful for giving me the chance to be a teacher. I have realized that it is not that easy in handling different kinds of students. It is not easy to be a teacher because they need to communicate with the students whether they like it or not. They are responsible for teaching us the right way. They are also the ones who are helping us shaped our future. I admire the teachers for being so patient on us. They served as our second parents and like our parents they want us to be in good direction.
To our teachers, thanks for everything. . .

.trust.
Trusting someone is not an easy thing to do. You have to be sure that the person is worth it of the trust you are willing to give.
I have experience something about this trust thing. And I am willing to share it to you.
I am assuming that all of you already know who my special someone is, right? He is the happy-go-lucky guy who in a very different way makes me happy and makes my day special. I am not going to tell you about our story because I am going to reserve it on Valentines Day! *laughs*. But instead I am going to tell you about something I have realized.
It happened last January 31, 2007. At the start o the day, I already feel that he is not in a good mood. So I was thinking that maybe he has some problems. I found the right time so I asked him if he is okay. He answered me by saying that he is just depressed. After that, I made up my mind that I will just go with the flow. This means that I will not approach neither talk to him first until he will be okay.
Afternoon came and we were still not having the usual communication we have. I just let it pass by thinking that it is about his studies.
We had our meeting in YFC Club. Then our adviser read a note which is about love. It states that love protects, love TRUSTS and love preserves. When she spoke the word trust, she turned to me making most of the people there to look at me. I was so conscious at that time which made me did something knowing that he is there. I was afraid that he will be mad at me. When we are about to go home, I said sorry to him for not trusting him wholeheartedly.
With that incident, I have realized that if you choose to love a person, you should not have any doubts on that person especially on the love he is giving. You should learn how to trust him because you know that he loves you. But you should also be sure that at this point in time, the person is already worthy of the trust you are giving him.
There is one thing I promised to him, that I will try my best to let myself be secured with his love.
