On Life and Love Quotes

Life Updates

These past few days, I've been feeling a bit under the weather and my head was even acting up last night. Albeit feeling sick earlier in the day because I had a hard time sleeping, I just couldn't say no to a shopping trip in Trinoma. After being cooped at home for so long, I felt that I deserved to be pampered a little.

We started the afternoon at Conti's, where we had lunch. It being a pastry shop and a restaurant all in one, we couldn't resist having a slice of their Mango Bravo cakes. Of course, it was heavenly. :) After eating, we then proceeded to hit the shops. Since it was the last day of the mallwide sale, people went there in droves. We even saw Aica and her mom among the many shoppers.

The main thing that I was looking for yesterday was a long, flat wallet but even Girbaud disappointed me. When we looked for clothes, somehow, I just can't seem to find one that screamed "pick me!" I did buy new things but I am not satisfied - not by a long shot. I would probably have to go back in the coming days to search for new clothes and for my new wallet, too. Now, who'd like to go and shop with me? And please don't contact me if you have no patience at all for shopping. :)

On to Love Quotes

My friends back in high school know that I collect quotes. To me, they are little grains of wisdom found in the simplest words. I stumbled across both Tagalog and English quotes in a website and being a sucker for romance, I compiled the quotes here so that you guys would get to read them, too. I was surprised that Bob Ong's books contained romantic quotes so don't be shocked to see some of them here. Enjoy!

"Sometimes, our heart is like a cup filled up with love and compassion for only one person, but there is another person like the saucer underneath the cup that catches the spilled love and never let it go to waste."

"It's not the break-up that hurts most, it's the post-trauma that follows it. It's the little things that you know wouldn't have meaning anymore. It's waking up and checking your phone for the message that isn't there. It's like starting your life over again and you just have no idea where to begin."

From Bob Ong:

"Bakit ka magpaparamdam sa taong hindi marunong makaramdam? Wag kang magpakatanga, sa taong hindi marunong magpahalaga. Matuto kang sumuko at mang-iwan, kung lagi ka namang sinasaktan. Imbis na magtanong ka ng "Hindi pa ba sapat?" Bakit hindi mo na lang kalimutan ang lahat? Kung alam mong binabalewala ka na, tanggapin mong nagsasawa na sya. Wag kang magpadala sa salitang "sorry" at "ayokong mawala ka" kung totoo yun,patunayan nya."

"Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."

"Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."

"Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."

"Ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko."

"A perfect partner in life is someone you can be with and talk about anything without realizing that the day was over..someone who will always listen and feel twice the joy or pain you're going through..When you start to feel that "connection," never let it go because there is more to companionship than love..In the end, when all else fails and are consumed, you will always hold on to those times when you don't even need to hear the words "I love you."

"Apologizing doesn’t mean that you are wrong and the other is right. Sometimes you just value the relationship much more than your personal ego."

"A man worthy of your tears will never make you use them."

"I can't give you the sun, the moon and the stars, but I promise I'll be beneath them, laying down with you."

"One day you will ask me which is more important, my life or yours. I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life." -K.Gibran

"Watching him walk out of my life doesn't make me bitter or cynical about love it just made me realize that if i wanted so much to be with the wrong person..how beautiful can it be when the right one comes along.."

Personal favorites:

"All relationships have one law: never make your loved one feel alone while you are there."

"I want to be with someone who knows what they have when they have me."

"I can always take care of myself but still, I want to meet the person who can prove to me that..I can't.."

"Impossibilities become possible if there is love."

"They say, we're too old to play hide & seek..but if I had a chance, I'd give anything just to hear someone say..I found you.."
