*** This post is dedicated to my sisterette, whose heart was recently broken by the person she loved the most. Girl, be strong.. God has better plans for you ***

We’ve been chatting for several weeks now about your heart-ache, depression, fears, suicidal thoughts. I already told you many times to try to be strong… that "soon everything will be alright". I realized that no words can ease the pain you are feeling right now. I’ve been in similar situations several times already and I know how much it sucks! I feel for you sis.

There are times that you think it’s the end of the world… wake up girl! It’s not! You still have a great future ahead of you. Since he left you, you thought life won’t be the same again… that you are no longer complete. You are still complete. He complements you but he’s not the one who completes you. Now that he’s gone, life ain’t worth living. Girl, you need to stay alive to appreciate how beautiful life is.

We may not actually feel your pain… but we understand you. It’s okay to be sad… it’s okay to be depressed. But you should learn to pick up the pieces and move on. I know you’re afraid… you lost your trust in everything. But Trust the Lord and one day when you wake up, you won’t feel the pain anymore. Let him heal your wounds. (I don’t go to church..but I believe in him) Take your time sis… soon you will be healed. Then, you’ll become stronger and wiser. A friend of mine during the most difficult time of my life taught me this –> "This too, shall pass"

Sisterette, I hope the following quotes could somehow make you feel better. (I got it from http://en.thinkexist.com/)

QUOTATION:    Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.
BIOGRAPHY:    American writer and cartoonist best known for his collection of children’s books. 1904-1991

QUOTATION:    Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
BIOGRAPHY:    Mystical author, one of Brazil’s most successful novelist

QUOTATION:    To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

QUOTATION:    Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to.

QUOTATION:    Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

QUOTATION:    You don’t need strength to let go of something. What you really need is understanding.

QUOTATION:    There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.

QUOTATION:    If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let ‘em go, because man, they’re gone.
BIOGRAPHY:    American writer and cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1991-2003. Famous for his Deep Thoughts comedy sketches

QUOTATION:    Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.

Weird.

I always find myself in the middle of a break-up. Not that I’m the 3rd party or the cause of break-up. It’s just that I’m friends with most of the ‘couples’… If a close friend’s bf/gf also becomes my friend (whether I like it or not, right carl? peace bro!) If they are having problems, I’d listen and try to help them patch things up. Why? because I’m online! That’s the power of ym — connecting people.

This made me wonder… when the relationship ends, does the friendship also ends? Can I still be friends with both of them? Is it morally correct that I meddle with their issue?

Caught in the Middle Scenarios
Scene # 1
When I was in 3rd yr hs, a boy classmate of mine was in a middle of a break-up situation (inside our classroom) when I nonchalantly entered the scene just to get my stuffs.

I’m such a party-pooper.

Scene # 2
A close girl-friend of mine had troubles with his bf who’s also a friend of mine. I would be their shoulder to cry on. The guy wants out… but the girl wants ‘in’. The guy asks to convince her to let him go… while the girl asks to convince him to take her back. Eventually, they got back together… and we haven’t talk.

Why? Was I the jinx?

Scene #3
A bestfriend of mine got involved with a girl whom I don’t approved. Since I am a loyal friend, I be-friended the girl. Then things get ugly… ‘there was scandal everywhere’. They broke up. And I found myself in the middle of the post-break-up scene. The mom ‘questioned’ me, why I let my friend got involved with such a girl.

Tsk..tsk..tsk.. so much for being ms. friendship!

<to be continued..>

Shit happens, but I’m still your friend.

It’s almost 2am and I’m blogging… what the heck?! Don’t I have a life? Aside from home and office, I wasn’t able to go out that much. Ok fine, I’m at the mall every week-end but that’s not counted.

It feels so great to see my ‘icon’ friends once again. The last time I saw them was during last year’s sembreak party. I’m glad nothing has changed… though they’re all a bit older, the bond is still there. It’s just so nice to see them again *sob*.

Most of them are now graduating students… this might be my last sembreak party with them. I do hope that the next sembreak parties of ICOn would still be ‘box-office hits’, with or without the pioneer members. Good luck to the next generation of ICOn members… may the bond that binds the org grow stronger. To the officers, you did great! I’m proud of your achievements. I may not be present in all the activities, but I will always support our projects.

Again, good luck to your studies, thesis, exams, love-life, etc… see you soon in the corporate world!
