for my teriyaki.

everyone's changing, i stay the same.
i'm a solo cello, outside a chorus i've got a secret
its time for me to tell that you've been keeping me warm.

just sweet beginings to bitter endings.
in coffee city we borrowed heaven.
dont give it back i've never felt so wanted...

you tell me you have to go....

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love,
we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us.
We miss out on many beautiful things simply
because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.
Go for the man of deeds
and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness
not with the man
you love but the man who loves you more.

The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance,
far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel
the love deep within your being. To let go of someone doesn't mean you have
to stop loving, it only means that you allow the person to find

his own happiness without expecting anything in return. Letting go is not
just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free
from all bitterness, hatred, pain and anger that is kept in your heart.

Do not let bitterness lure away your strength and weaken your faith,
and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather, let yourself grow with
the wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in just loving someone from
a distance not expecting anything in return, but be careful for this can
sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all
survive with just beautiful
memories of the past but real peace and happiness comes only with open acceptance
of what reality is today.

Relationships based on selfishness are doomed from the very beginning.
Don't think only for your feelings, for real love doesn't have a place for
selfish people. Where there is love, there is
always a sacrifice. And when we love, we just don't give up on the person even if
get hurt so badly.

You do not have to forget someone you love.
What you need to learn is how to accept
the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.

Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone
more deserving.

And as usual, as i tell myself, Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible
and let your mind speak for yourself.

Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well.

If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love. Cry if you have to but
make sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has
left you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you.
And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.

God wakes us up in the midst of a storm to teach us a lesson.
He TAKES AWAY people we love so we can LEARN HOW TO VALUE LOVE ITSELF. He make
us CRY so hard so we can SEE CLEARLY when we open our eyes. He makes us
BITTER so we can REALIZE that there is no genuine happiness if we
think only of our needs and not of others.

There is hope for those who believe. There is always a chance for those
who try. Losing someone we love may not be a loss after all but a blessing
because someone more deserving is yet to come.

babe, sabi nga ni celine dion
(remember we were singing this one closing night with arlene?):

When you want it the most there's no easy way out

When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt

Don't give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

And that's the way it is
