respite.

the most awaited moment....

after a very long 6 months of hoping and preparing...

of constantly searching for signs..

finally, fate has intervened--GOD has planned it to happen.

was it the right time? Serendipity perhaps? or was it just something that ought to be..?

A brief respite of living in the dreamy and dreary world…a slight deviation to reality----albeit the insanity and wishful thinking.

Unbelievable. We met and there, WE HAD THE CHANCE. Sadly I had to respond cognitively and not be carried away by my own "ecstasy" and euphoric imaginations.

Then again, it was TRUE. Our roads have finally crossed ONCE AGAIN... but it still was not the right time for me to face YOU. It just wasn't.

What-if...... maybe.... if only...........should've been....

(Oh God, I’ve never felt this sudden rush of extreme overwhelming and at the same time, guilty feeling that have made my heart pound and beat unusually. Still, at least the freedom of reminiscing and contemplating about this unforgettable "first-time-after-God-knows-when" experience is within reach.)

Let me share with you a very intricate yet quixotic line from a book written by Mabi David:

I know no end in desiring you.

Desire in its very delicate nature; admiration of some sort, and how I tend to choose the miserable track of dreaming about the impossible.

All thoughts formed here are mere random, mundane and blunt expressions from my one and only wandering mind. Pardon my attempt to at least take a break from all my disturbing adventures and quest for signs. This is already reality. Our instantaneous meeting was maybe, a coincidence. Nevertheless, it happened and it was REAL.

Vague as it may seem (this is intentional for the anonymity of the subject and the actual event), I still try to search for the answers to these entire occurrences. As what I always say, it’s just a matter of time.

I will still let fate take its proper course. Let Jesus lead the way.

......

Let fate take its proper course.



I saw you again a while ago... there are still signs all around me.. still, I have not changed my perspective about you.


They say change is constant. But why the hell are all these constantly happening??

Truly, only time will tell.


ciao!

random quizzes i got from Ana's LJ

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

You Are Lightning

Beautiful yet dangerous People will stop and watch you when you appear Even though you're capable of random violence You are best known for: your power Your dominant state: performing

What Type of Weather Are You?

hahahah. Have to study and read molecular fabric now.

a quick recap

Classes have already started, the thrills have now began and I seriously must study immediately.

My subjects and professors for this sem are all superb, plus the fact that I decided to quit Chem as of the moment because of one permanent reason.... I am enjoying my 2nd sem since Monday!

And yeah, about that GHOST, I am so surpised, contemplative and excited because I cannot erase the fact that I am terrified of our meeting in the future.. I don't want it to happen yet because of my Raspy Voice. At the same time, I can't bring my pride down just to talk to him again. Now I understand why this has been so complicated and weird.

After how many days and months of waiting...I have confirmed it: HE IS FINALLY BACK. He is truly creeping me out more than ever and I am still hoping we could fix our problem.. I am thankful that I have my friend ANA with me to talk and check if he has arrived. It was such a happy moment that I have personally heard the ghost has come back to do the usual stuff that he does. (God, If you, the Ghost, could understand all these, JUST READ BETWEEN THE LINES.)

On another note, people who are called friends i.e. twin, and 3rd party, are blessings in my life. I have seen another vivid sign about the Ghost and it was the last thing that I have treasured today. Seeing him drive again is so fun and interesting! After all these months, you have returned. This alone is God's will and plan to at least tell me the time that we both wasted and the memories of the past that are still significantly playing in my life.

I know this sem's going to be one hell full of workload and of course, stress... but now that the Ghost is around.. it could just be either extremely hell or the better opposite. After all, my wish has come true and it's good to feel this way again.

how could you make me take a start?
then just leave me here hanging, can't even say how I'm feeling..


No I will never be the same.....


Have you been living your life finding reasons for the visions?
and sail the oceans beyond the deep horizons
you may have seen that all oceans end..
where you started my friend, back in your heart you'll find yourself once again.


time has a way of taking things away from your hand.
So when the safe place of your world falls apart.. you must gather ALL the memories
and build the safest place in your heart...

manifestations of a GHOST in disguise..

This day has been so full of mystery.

And to those who inherently know who the GHOST is, you can be assured that you'll be able to relate to what I'll be saying here.

I have just watched the movie SERENDIPITY and it was so insipiring at the same time, disturbing... to think that I almost imagined myself to be in Kate Beckinsale's place.
Nevertheless, this movie touched me so much that I feel blessed to have experienced the search for those SIGNS and clues that God has given me. My "destiny" has not been revealed to me yet though I can feel it is coming soon. Yeah, pretty soon.

I can't understand why the ghost plays tricks on me. Is it because I'm just interpreting the 'clues' differently? Or is it because there is a need to feel those manifestations? I just am clueless about these whether it's still part of my reality or the OTHER reality.

Of all the many kinds of t-shirts that can be possibly worn by people who are around me, why does it have to have a print that is SO OBVIOUS that I would stop and look at it again? Why is your surname SOOOO popular that even shirts have it as designs? I can't imagine myself being disturbed again by these foolishness but at that exact moment, I felt the rush of some sort of miracle or a divine intervention that have occurred.

Minsan natanong ko.. bakit ka pa nagpaparamdam hanggang ngayon? Ano ba ang nagawa ko para gawin mo ang mga bagay na 'to? May kailangan ba akong malaman kaya't pilit na pinapaalala ka sa akin ng tadhana?

I am still confused. I am having second thoughts about those signs.. whether all these are purposely made by the Lord for me to hang on to something that I never even had in the first place.


With all these signs shown to me... I don't know which way to go.. what path to take... If only these signs would REALLY talk to me.. If only you would talk to me..

I'm preparing myself for the next manifestations that are sure to appear and haunt me in this coming semester.. I just wish this Ghost would stop sending signs. I just wish this Ghost would tell me personally what should be told.

Wanted: Ghostbusters......

Still and will always be

Trying to forget you is just a waste of TIME.


I've realized that no matter how hard one tries, the wonderful memories will always be hard to erase.


The right time is coming soon....

at a loss for words

im currently amazed. in awe. and thankful. but at the same time, wishful and reflective of the year that was... of everything that have happened when the sun and the stars looked differently.. as I was so ecstatic about my life and that one individual who made a difference...


I'm happy for my bestfriend. She finally found the answers to her BECAUSE (if those really are). It's really God's plan why we were made TWINS not physically but emotionally. For us to have this Yin and Yang relationship.

I have wished for some revelation to happen..when the signs were so demanding of my attention... I have hoped that I was the one, or perhaps, someone lucky to be part of that world.. but unfortunately, these did not happen.

On the brighter side, my twin just had her wish granted. I do hope things turn out right for you, twin... and I'm just here if you need me.

It has almost been a year now...since I could remember those unforgettable times when I became inspired and all that; when I would seize the moments...cherish every second of my life.. All these memories are what's left of me now.. All my "signs" and my wishes were thoughts that have eventually evaporated in the cold air that suffocates me in all my "imaginations".

My distorted reality starts to come to an end... I'm praying to God that I'll continue recovering but no... I'm still the crazy, dreamy person that I am.

Then again, enough of my weird and impossible thoughts. What's important is Twin's happy (or overwhelmed) and I'm also happy and content with that.

I'll always be here twin. Just call me and I'll be there.


(but i still look back, though)....
