The Tree, The Leaf, The Wind...

=====
TREE
=====
People call me Tree.
I had dated 5 gals when I was in Pre-U. There's one gal who I love a lot
but never dared to go after. She didnt have a pretty face, or good figure,
nor an outstanding charm. She was just a very ordinary gal. I liked her. I
really liked her. I liked her innocence, her frankness, her intelligence
and her fragility. Reason for not going after her was because I felt
somebody so ordinary like her was not a good match for me. I was also
afraid that after we were together all the feelings would vanish. I was
also afraid other's gossip would hurt her.
I felt that if she were my gal, she'd be mine ultimately & I didn't have
to give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her accompanying
me for 3 years. She watched me chase other gals, and I have made her heart
cry for 3 years.
She was a good actress and me a demanding director. When I kissed my 2nd
girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smiled & said, "Go
on!" before running off. The next day, her eyes were swollen like a
walnut. I didn't want to know what caused her to cry. Later that day, I
returned from soccer training to get something & watched her cry in the
classroom for an hour or so. My 4th girlfriend didn't like her. There was
once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on her character she's
not the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided my
girlfriend. I shouted at her & ignored her feelings and walked off with my
girlfriend. The next day, she was laughing & joking with me like nothing
happened. I know she was hurt but she didn't know deep down inside I was
hurt too.
When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. Later that day, I
told her I had something to tell her. I told her about my break up.
Coincidentally, she has something to tell me too, about her getting
together. I knew who the guy was. His pursuit for her had been the talk of
the School. I didnt show her my heartache, just smiles & best wishes. Once
I reached home, I couldn't breath. Tears rolled & I broke down. How many
times have I seen her cry for the man who didnt acknowledge her presence?
During graduation, I read a sms in my hp. It said, "Leaf's departure is
because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay"

=====
LEAF
=====
People call me Leaf.
During the 3 years of Pre-U, I was on very close terms with a guy as buddy
kind. But when he had his 1st girlfriend, I learnt a feeling I never
should have learnt - Jealousy. Sourness to the extreme limit. They were
only together for 2 months. When they broke up, I hid my happiness. But
after a month, he got together with another gal.
I liked him & I know he liked me. But why won't he pursue me? Since he
loves me why he didn't he make the first move? Whenever he had a new
girlfriend, my heart would hurt. After some time, I began to suspect that
this was one sided love. If he didnt like me, why did he treat me so well?
It's beyond what you will normally do for a friend. I know his likes, his
habits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out. You can't
expect me a gal to ask him. Despite that, I still wanted to be by his
side. Care for him, accompany him, and love him. Hoping that one day, he
will come to love me. Because of this, I waited for him. Sometimes, I
wondered if I should continue waiting. The pain, the dilemma accompanied
me for 3 years.
At the end of my 3rd year, a junior pursues me. Everyday he pursues me.
He's like the cool & gentle wind, trying to blow off a leaf from a tree.
In the end, I realized that I wanted to give this wind a small footing in
my heart. I know the wind will bring the leaf to a better land. Finally
leaf left the tree, but the tree only smiled & didn't ask me to stay.
Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask
her to stay.

WIND
=====
People call me Wind.
Because I like a gal called leaf. Because she's so dependent on tree so I
have to be a gust wind. A wind that will blow her away. When I first met
her, it was 1 month after I transfer to the new school. I saw a petite
person looking at my seniors & me playing soccer. During ECA time, she
will always be sitting there. Be it alone or with her friends looking at
him. When he talks with gals there's jealousy in her eyes. When he looked
at her, there's a smile in her eyes. Looking at her became my habit. Just
like she likes to look at him.
One day, she didn't appear. I felt something amissed. I can't explain the
feeling except it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior was also not there as
well. I went to their classroom, hid outside and saw my seniors colding
her. Tears were in her eyes while he left. The next day, I saw her at her
usual place, looking at him. I walked over and smiled to her. Took out a
note & gave to her. She was surprised. She looked at me, smiled & accepts
the note. The next day, she appeared & passes me a note and left.
Leaf's heart is too heavy and wind couldn't blow her away It's not that
leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree. I
replied her note with this statement and slowly she started to talk to me
& accept my presents & phone calls. I know that the person she loves is
not me. But I have this perseverance that one day I will make her like me.
Within 4 months, I have declared my love for her no less than 20 times.
Every time, she will divert away from the topic. But I never give up. If I
decide I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win her
over. I can't remember how many times I have declared my love to her.
Although I know she will try to divert but I still bear a small ray of
hope.
Hoping that she will agree to be my girlfriend. I didn't hear any reply
from her over the phone. I asked, "What are you doing? How come you didn't
want to reply?" She said, "I'm nodding my head". "Ah?" I couldn't believe
my ears. "I'm nodding my head" She replied loudly. I hang up the phone,
quickly changed and took a taxi and rush to her place & press her
doorbell. During the moment when she opens the door, I hugged her tightly.

Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her
to stay ...

What Love Really Means...

Why do we love ba? so we can have somebody to talk to? Someone who can be there pag gusto natin gumala? A person na pwedeng manlibre satin? Taong magbibitbit ng gamit mo? ALALAY for short!

Eh pano kung di ka nya mahal? Would you still love him/her? Would you still continue to care for that person?

Bakit naman hinde? You didn't love that person para magkaroon ka ng
alalay, magkaroon ka ng instant meal dahil libre, taong gagawa ng assignments mo or projects, or taong mahihila mo if you want to go
out... If that's what you think about love, well sorry.. Ang BABAW mo!

Loving a person doesn't need to have a criteria na dapat maganda o guwapo, dapat mabait or understanding, kasi once you fall inlove you
take the risk of accepting dat person...

Kahit maingay sya matulog, yung hilik ng hilik kahit matakaw sya o sobrang fat na hindi kayo kasya pag puno ang jeep! kahit sobrang moody nya na kulang nalang ay sapakin mo sa inis! yung sobrang selosa/seloso na pati barkada pinagseselosan.. Badtrip diba? And yung napaka-arte, OA kung baga! o kahit ano pang things that
would turn you off...

Hirap tlaga magmahal trying to be PERFECT kase gusto mong magtagal, pero hindi yun ang sagot sa lahat...

ACCEPTING the real person fully..un pow un!

Kase if you said na mahal mo sya you don't need to find answers kung bakit mo sya mahal... Kase lahat ng tao nagbabago, but if you acccept
that person magbago man sya in the middle of your relationship hindi ka masasaktan kase you know that darating din yun.. Tsaka tanggap mo sya ng buo...

Mahirap gawin pero masarap subukan dahil wala ngsasaya pa if you let one person feel na MAHAL NA MAHAL MO SYA without asking 4 anything in return... Then you can say, wow un pla ang LOVE!

Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections....

In front of the person you like, your heart beats faster. But in front of the person you love, you get happy.

In front of the person you love, winter seems like spring. But in front of the person you like, winter is just beautiful winter.

If you look into the eyes of the one you like, you blush. But if you look into the eyes of the one you love, you smile.

In front of the person you like, you can't say everything on your mind.But in front of the person you love, you can.

In front of the person you like, you tend to get shy. But in front of the person you love, you can show your own self.

You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you like. But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you love.

When the one you love is crying, you cry with them.But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

The feeling of love starts from the eye But the feeling of like starts from the ear.

So if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need to do is cover your ears.But if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever...

Cant Think Of a Title For This...

Love is a flame that warms but never burns. And faithfulness is a word that comes with love that has a deep meaning with a deep responsibility. But what if one day, that love burns you out because the only person you love loves another?

We often hear people say: "Hiwalayan mo na! Ginagago ka lang pala!" But then, if you really love the person, would you still listen to other people's comments or reactions? Or would you fight for that love?

Remember that half of life is "if." We cannot avoid asking questions that starts with "What ifs." And three things never return: the past, the neglected oppurtunity and the spoken word. So be careful on the choices you make 'cause regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

If you're hurt because of the events, just shout it out to the world. Afterwards, you'll be ok. Believe me..

Then, what if it's the greatest love you've ever had? Are you not going to fight for it? And how would you know that that's a great love? It's when you shed tears for him, still you care for him. It's when he ignores you, still you long for him. It's when he begins to love another, yet you still smile and say... "I'M HAPPY FOR YOU." Then, find it in your heart to forgive the person who had hurt you the most. Sometimes, it's better to forgive and forget than to resent and remember. Forgiveness might be a funny thing, but it warms the heart and cools the sting.

We all know that letting go of someone dear to you is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn't feel the same is much harder. Giving up doesn't mean you're weak. It only means you're strong enough to let go.

But, there are always two sides in every story. Others would say that once you find the one you have to hold on, never let go! Because letting go of the one tells you how big your mistake is to lose someone who's already a part of you.And learn to make the most out of life. Lose no happy days for time can never bring back what was swept away. Leave no tender words unsaid. Love while we exist..and live..

This may all sound so confusing but only one answer would always stand out from the rest. "FOLLOW YOUR HEART." It may not always be right but you will have memories that will make you smile and say: "SHIT!!NAGKAMALI NA NAMAN AKO!" = )

Bottom line here is..Whatever path you may choose to walk on, i hope you'll be happy.. And if you choose to fight for your love, know that it's worth fighting for. I know i did.

From Epilogue of "I Love You..Let's Work It Out"

Love means to care about the feelings of another as if they were your own.

If you do not love yourself, it is impossible for your love for another to be deep. If another person does not regard your feelings as important, then what is it he claims when he says he loves you?

Love is the acceptance that comes with knowing all of a person's fault and not rejecting the other for what you discover, but rather living in expectation of good. The great peace of love is that there are no surprises you can discover that will cause you not to love the other. The love that lasts is based on the partner's acceptance of themselves as they truly are.

Love is trust. You trust that good abider in you and that you are worthy of being loved. You trust that you are being treated directly and fairly and you trust that your partner feels the same way.

This is the rule of love, that love is open and love is free.

This is the rhyme of love, that love is answered and accommodated, that crowded schedules change and oppurtunities for togetherness are created out of pressure and chaos, that distance are bridged, absences endured and joining celebrated.

Love has priority. Love is first. Love is now. Love is best. Love is also next and last.

This is the rhythm of love. It is an inner motion seeking to dance among the stars.

The perspective of love is ever closer and larger, warmer and freer. It is open and giving, expanding and encompassing. It is a generosity of feeling because it recognizes the sameness of feeling between you. It is a passion among equals or it is nothing at all.

The dance of love is a quickening of heart, a belief in the impossible because it is suddenly real.

Love is honesty made possible.

Love is giving made acceptable.

Love helps the needy grow from envy to self-acceptance, from possessiveness to self-confidence, and from jealousy to trust in ourselves.
