I'm really pissed off with it! I've been trying to register to globe unlimitext for 5 days already and til now, it's still FAILED. Badtrip talaga.
I've already watch MOMENTS OF LOVE. It's a good movie. Ang pag-ibig, walang nakikitang panahon, walang nakikitang wakas... I really lurve that line, so touchy.
Haaai, since I have nothing to blog about, I just wanna share somethin I read at teentalk. It's about love.


There are times when we are timid and shy about
expressing the love we feel. For fear of
embarrassing the other person, or ourselves, we
hesitate to say the actual words "I love you". So we
try to communicate the idea in other words. We say
"take care" or dont drive too fast" and "be good".
But really, these are just other ways of saying "I
love you"."You are important to me" and "I care
what happens to you", and "I dont want you to get
hurt" all mean "I love you". We are sometimes very
strange people. The only thing we want to say, and
the one thing that we should say, is the one thing
we dont say. And yet because the feeling is so
real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are
driven to use other words and signs to say what we
really mean. And many times the meaning never
gets communicated at all and the other person is
left feeling unloved and unwanted.
Therefore, I believe we have to listen for love in the
words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the
explicit words are necessary, but more often, the
manner of saying things is even more important. A
joyous insult carries more
affection and love within the sentiments, which are
expressed insincerely. An impulsive hug says "I
love you" even though the words might be saying
something very different.
Any expression of a person's concern for another
says "I love you". Sometimes the expression is
clumsy, sometimes even cruel. Sometimes we
must look and listen very intently for the love that it
contains.
We say "I love you" in many ways - with birthday
gifts, and little notes, with smiles and sometimes
with tears. Sometimes we show our love by just
keeping quiet and not saying a word, at other times
by speaking out, even harshly. We show our love
sometimes by impulsiveness.
Many times we have to show our love by forgiving
someone who has not listened to the love we have
tried to express. The problem is listening for love
is that we dont always understand the language of
love, which the other person is using. A girl may
use tears or emotions to say what she wants to
say, and her boyfriend may not understand her
because he expects her to be talking his language.
We have to force ourselves to really listen for love.
The problem with our world is that people rarely
listen to each other. They hear the words, but they
dont listen to the actions that accompany the words
or the expression on the face. Or people listen only
for rejection or misunderstanding. They
do not see the love that is there just beneath the
surface, even if the words are angry.
Simon and Garfunkel wrote that very haunting
song,
The Sound of Silence . It goes:
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking;
people hearing without listening;
people writing songs
that voices never shared,
because no one dared disturb
the sound of silence...
It is a terrifying picture of our modern
world, a world without communication and without
love.
We have to listen for love in those around us. If we
listen intently we will discover that we are a lot
more loved than we realise.
Just listen!
