its past 12 midnight and i was planning on sleeping early however after what happened i decided to turn my computer back on and write how i am feeling right now. we had another big fight, unfortunately. and it ended up again hanging the phone down feeling so disappointed, everytime he hangs up the phone to let the heat cool down i always hope that no matter how late it is that he'd call me back and say can we work things out? but sad to say, he never did that for me. From one fight to another i always tried to extend efforts to work things up, i even tried throwing some hints for him to realize that this is just one of our senseless arguement. he failed to see those efforts and when he says lets talk some other time its gonna happen. so more often im the one who gives in and give some extra effort to patch things up. im scared to accept the fact that i am sad. after he put the phone down i still hold on to it hoping that he'd pick it up and talk. but after clinging to it for minutes and hearing the beeping sound it made me realize how silly of me to hold on to something i know will never work. i do not blame him for whatever sadness it is im feeling right now, i am the one who put myself in this situation and i am the one who wanted to wait for the right time to be together. he worry too much about what will happen in the future than working things out for the present. i remember once he said, his scared to invest to much emotion, time and effort not knowing what will happen to our future, i in the other hand was trying all my best for the present to work. i know i put him in an odd situation where we dont get to see each other, i told him my reasons and i really thought he understand. probably his not up to it, or it was too much for him to bare that his loving someone he cant get to see whenever he pleases. i admire how he can leave thing as it is, i admire how he can just let thing pass and to left things unsaid. for now, i just dont have the guts to ignore him, to ignore how i feel and how he might react. again, i found myself in the edge of the cliff ready to fall wishing i'd hit rock bottom so i could stop this loneliness and feel a little numb just enough to help me get through the night without feeling sorry for myself that i again is broken.

History and Meaning of Pink Roses

Primary Significance: Love, Gratitude, Appreciation

Pink roses have a rich history that comes with being one of the longest existing roses known to us - in fact, pink roses have even been depicted in some of the earliest known pieces of art. When roses first began to be cultivated, the majority of them existed in various shades of pink, from the palest pink to the deepest crimson. Prior to that, pink roses were the dominant species among wild roses, and were likely among the earliest roses to evolve.

In time, discoveries of new rose species and the development of modern hybridization techniques would introduce many new colors of roses. Also introduced at this time were roses with the ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the year. This was a significant development, as earlier garden roses would typically only bloom once a year. As more colors and types of roses entered the palette, each began to take on their own meanings. So too, did the meaning of the pink rose become more refined.

Above all, roses are a symbol for love and gratitude. As the pink rose was the most prevalent among the old garden roses, it was most strongly associated with these sentiments. While different roses may have more specific meanings, these are still the underlying message of any color rose. Pink roses also now carry a connotation of grace and elegance, as well as sweetness and poetic romance. Different shades of pink also carry their own significance. Dark pink roses are symbolic of gratitude and appreciation, and are a traditional way to send a message of thanks. Light pink roses are associated with gentleness and admiration, and can also be used as an expression of sympathy.

With the many ways in which they can be used to express a range of meanings, pink roses continue to maintain their popularity. The beautiful appearance and fragrance so strongly associated with roses in general, as well as their symbolic importance, can be traced back to the pink rose. While much has changed over the years, pink roses have consistently held their place of prominence in the world of flowers. Today, pink roses enjoy their own unique position representing elegance and refinement, as well as communicating thanks and admiration. The recipient of an arrangement of pink roses is sure to feel appreciated and special.

October 17, 2008 around 11 in the evening he decided to give up. Was i too much? Or was it something I wanted all along? I'm not sure. But one thing I do know when he said he gave up. I was sad. It's not because I'd end up alone, it's not the memories but the thought that I'm losing him. Simple as that. I don't wanna complicate things, especially I don't wanna complicate my feelings nor his. I admit, that I haven't been nice to him that sometimes I drag him crazy and it made me happy. But just so "you" know, I did those things not for you to hate me nor give up on me but just to see how important I am to you. I apologize If you misunderstood my actions and that I am sorry.

To prove to you that I do care, here's our story.

So it started last September 1st, I got bored and I went online over MiRC to find someone I can spend my sleepless nights with so this guy sent a private msg and wanted to do the lame "lets get to know each other" kinda thing, so out of boredom I answered his questions vice versa and I decided to hop in bed to sleep I sent him a "away" msg to basically add more views on my DeviantART account and he caught my attention when he said nice things about my shots and he knows what DeviantART is. I remember telling him that chatting bores me a lot and if he mind if we just talk over the phone, at first he was having hesitations to have a conversation over the phone and so I said goodnight. Then I got a msg from him again with his phone number, but befored I called him I remember asking If his got at english and he said yes. In my mind I was so glad to be able to find someone with the same interest. So i gave him a call and we end up talking 'til morning.

The next day I received a msg over ym from him and I honestly ignored it. What I had in mind was, it was the "one night thing.." that after we talk, I wont keep intouch. Just to avoid attachments. But he never gave up, finally I got pissed off and decided to reply to one of his msgs.

---
leodanrastafari: so why were you not saying anything when i buzz you the ohter day?
Kalay: i think
Kalay: i was already sleeping
leodanrastafari: are you sure about that?
leodanrastafari: so why not even a single reply when you woke up?

Kalay: sorry
Kalay: i dont think

Kalay: yah
Kalay: mayb we can hate each other

Kalay: do i make myself understood
Kalay: or do i have to explain to you why?

It ended up well, So we talk about everything under the sun. Up until today when I finally got into his nerves and he decided to give up on me.

Simala

Simala Church photographed by: KarlaDeJose

Just about an hour and a half ride from Cebu is a shrine famous for the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, which is under the responsibility of the Marian Monks of the Eucharistic Adoration.

The shrine is located in upper Lindogon, Simala, Sibonga, south of Cebu. A multitude of devotees and pilgrims visit the shrine every thirteenth of the month to join in Eucharistic celebrations.

To get to the shrine from Cebu, one can get on a private car or a v-hire that will take you directly to Simala. There are also public buses that run the south Cebu route. When taking these public transportations, one has yet to ride a motorcycle dubbed the “habal-habal” to get to Upper Lindogon.

The Simala church is a statuesque structure and the area surrounding it is beautifully landscaped, with miniature waterfalls, picturesque gardens, homey cottages, and a wishing well.

The church interior is still a work in progress but the aura of solemnity can already be intensely felt. Numerous devotees line up to to either send their petitions to the glass-encased image of the Miraculous Virgin Mary or to touch the veil she was said to wear during the famous healing phenomenon. While on queue, one can read through petitions and thank you notes, and even behold mementos of gratitude sent in by healed devotees, in cabinets lined up along the paths. For those who are not up for long queues, they can pray on the pews or light some colored candles to send their petitions.

Aside from a light heart, one other thing visitors can bring home from Simala is a prayer card with a rose petal from the Marian monks.

Cardcaptor Sakura

Cardcaptor Sakura

This is Sakura Kinomoto, i am soooo addicted to this anime right now i actually bought a dvd of the entire episode. Everyday at work i never miss a episode which i watch using my phone. I love the funny scene and the fighting scene. So here, Cardcaptor Sakura is my featured anime.

MORE INFORMATION

Cardcaptor Sakura (カードキャプターさくら, Kādokyaputā Sakura?), also known as Card Captor Sakura (with the space) and often abbreviated as CCS, is a magical girl manga series from the well-known all-female artist team CLAMP. Cardcaptor Sakura is published in Japan by Kodansha and was serialized in Nakayoshi. The series consists of twelve volumes. The manga is well-known for its emphasis on the shōjo genre of the series; nearly every page has detailed flowers, bubbles, or sparkles around the main characters. It won the noted Seiun Award for best manga in 2001.
The anime television series (1998-2000) based on the manga consists of 70 half-hour episodes (spread over three seasons), two theatrically released movies, and several specials. The second season of TV series won the Animage Anime Grand Prix prize in 1999. Nelvana produced an English dub of the anime series, titled Cardcaptors, which aired in English-speaking countries.[1] An unedited English translation, bearing the original title, Cardcaptor Sakura, was broadcast in its English-language networks by the anime television network Animax. Cardcaptor Sakura has also been released in North America (but not the UK or Australia) on unedited and subtitled DVDs under its original title.
Several characters from Cardcaptor Sakura are reworked for use in another Clamp series, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. These characters share similar appearances and traits to their Cardcaptor Sakura inspirations, but they are not the same characters, rather alternate universe versions.

You're In Love

You're In Love by Wilson Phillips

Open the door and come in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
Don't know how long it has been
Having those feelings again.

And now i see that you're so happy
And ooh, it just sets me free
And i'd like to see
Us as good of friends
As we used to be

Chorus:
Aah, my love, aah
You're in love
That's the way
It should be
'cause i want you to be happy
You're in love
And i know
That you're not in love with me
Ooh it's enough
For me to know
That you're in love
Now i'll let you go
'cause i know
That you're in love

Sometimes it's hard to believe
That you're never coming back to me
I've had this dream that you'd always be by my side
Oh i could have died.

But now i see that you're so happy
And ooh, it just sets me free.
And i'd like to see
Us as good of friends
As we used to be

(chorus)

I tried to find you but you were so far away
I was praying that fate would bring you back to me
Someday, someday, someday... ooh, you're in love

Ooh it's enough
For me to know
That you're in love
Now i'll let you go
'cause i know
That you're in love

Facebook

So i was watching TV the other day and they were talking about Facebook and so i got curious and i went in and check it on the internet and i saw that its just like Friendster where you could actually create a profile and add friends thou the only difference is instead of create designs on your page its more informational. You cant put CSS designs or codes on your profile on Facebook but you could share links, thoughts, comments and upload pictures.

So to those who's intrested about Facebook just read further.. ayt?

Facebook is a social networking website launched on February 4, 2004.^[1] The free-access website is privately owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profile to notify friends about themselves. The website's name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campu that some community US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.

Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook while he was a student at Harvard University.^[4] Website membership was initially limited to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Ivy League. It later expanded further to include any university student, then high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. The website currently has more than 100 million active users worldwide.^[5]

Facebook has met with some controversy over the past few years. It has been blocked intermittently in several countries including Syria^[6] and Iran.^[7] It has also been banned at many places of work to increase productivity.^[8] Privacy has also been an issue, and it has been compromised several times. It is also facing several lawsuits from a number of Zuckerberg's former classmates, who claim that Facebook had stolen their source code and other intellectual property.

Girl On Pedestal

So i finally found this again! was browsing my first blog site.. its a really nice story! its quite long but worth it!

Saturday, March 18th, 2006
Credit To: Tristan Cafe

From one fight to another, from one kind deed to
another, I always found a reason to stay — and to
keep on believing. But now after the last few drops of
tears have dried, I have finally found my place. Out
of his life.
I’ve always tried to help friends get
through their romantic dilemmas by asking them, "Is it
worth it?" Now I am haunted by the same question and
my very active mind can come up with only two words:
IT WAS. I’ve come to terms with the fact that this is
my stop. This is where I get off. This is when I cut
the rope.
I will always have very fond memories of
Ryan, and the man he almost was. I can recall the few
big fights and the not-so-interesting disputes we had,
but I choose to remember with a smile the four years
we were close to each other.
There was always a reason to keep the
relationship, the friendship that forever was just
that, friendship. There was more than one attempt to
take it to another level, but always I found myself
where I had left off: the girlfriend substitute, the
meantime girl. Always almost, but not quite.
Now I find myself running out of reasons. I
have come face to face with the reality that he was
never the best friend that I was to him all along. It
was just a label, a term I could use to describe what
he was to me and what we had for each other. I wanted
more. And it took me this long to finally realize that
I could not have what I wanted. Not with Ryan. So
what’s the point of settling for mere friendship?
I always advise my friends, "Know what you
want and stick to it." I have always known what I
wanted, but unfortunately, he didn’t want me the same
way.
Once again, I am going trough this tug-of-war over
what I want and what I deserve, and I know I deserve
more. After my true feelings surfaced, I began to
acknowledge the fact that I was fixated on his looks.
The rest was just part of the illusion I had created
in my mind, just like the reasons that were not
supposed to be there.
Painful, yes, but still bearable. When you
have finally run out of answers and all that’s
comforting you are mere possibilities, won’t you get
tired, too? I always ask; I never assume.
If there was any beauty in our relationship,
it was that we were conscious about telling the truth,
no matter how silly, foolish or painful. All along he
was telling me that i was just a friend. Some of his
actions seemed to say otherwise, but that was, of
course, to someone who chose to see more. He would
tell our friends that I was the ideal, or that if ever
he would get into a serious relationship, it would
have to be someone of my caliber or better. So there I
was again, the girl on a pedestal, but never in his
arms.
Despite all this, I stayed on, hoping that
I would in time be able to serve my purpose even as
his friend, not necessarily his best friend, just a
friend. Why? Because I found fulfillment in making him
know them man that he was to me. Because we were both
convenient. There were good and bad reasons, but after
all that was said and done, it was because I was happy
most of all. Then I would wake up one morning not
feeling the same way anymore, less hopeful but more
certain that I wanted more.
I have given it enough time — for us to
grow, for us to be the better persons that we are now.
I would like to think that I gave it enough chance
already. I would like to believe that someday when our
paths cross again, we will see each other in the arms
of people who deserve us best, who are willing to love
us more than we did each other, people who are meant
to be "chosen" and not someone we had to settle for.
I have given it my best — all I have got,
in fact — and I can only give so much. The same with
Ryan. If it were right, I wouldn’t be trying so hard.
Now I have reached this decision, the
decision to say enough. And when you say enough, you
have to mean its over.
It has been a struggle. In my heart, though,
I know that I will be okay. I have to be. My best
friend, whom I visit during lunch breaks at the
nearest church, reminds me that the shortest distance
between my struggle and relief is as short as the
distance between my knees and the floor.
Funny how when we were all little, we could
not wait for the day when we would finally grow up
and fall in love — only to realize that it was so
much easier to deal with scarred knees than broken
hearts. When my sister told me this, I realized that I
was no longer a little girl. I have scarred my knees
more than once and had my heart broken thrice. But I
am still looking forward to the falling and rising,
and everything in between.
