To All the Guys I've "Almost Loved" Before

Carrie Bradshaw Quotes that fit.

Childhood Sweetheart:

“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”

-------------------

Big: I'll call you.
Carrie: For what? We're so over. We need a new word for over.

The BestFriend:

Somewhere out there is another little freak who will love us, understand us, and kiss our three heads and make it all better.

---------------

In love relationships there is a fine line between pleasure and pain. In fact it is a common belief that a relationship without pain is a relationship not worth having. To some pain implies growth. But how do we know when the growing pains stop and the pain pains begin? Are we masochists or optimists if we continue to walk that fine line?

Artist Guy:

Carrie: What do you want?
Mr. Big: Why don’t we save time and you just tell me what I want?
--------------
Sometimes second chances work out even better than the first because you learn from your mistakes.
-------------
I was afraid if I looked up into his eyes, I'd turn to stone. How could I have let myself believe things would be different the second time around? I'd never even heard of an urban relationship myth in which a self-centered, forty-two year old baby magically transformed into a grown man that you could bring out in public.
------------------
Somewhere out there, Mr. Big was alone again. The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor.
-----------------
My mind was yelling how angry I was... But my heart, my heart... and just like that, I lost my head.'

Basketball Guy:

“When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho.”
-------------

I wanted to go to him, but I felt like I was tied to the chair. Some part of me was holding me back, knowing I had gone too far, reached my limit.

Movie Buddy:

Carrie: Well, sometimes a person needs a little space.
Big: From you? This guy must be crazy.
Carrie: Spoken by the man who moved 3000 miles away.

---------------------

Does anybody really know when it’s right? And how do you know – are there signs? Fireworks? Is it right when it feels comfortable or is comfortable a sign that there’s no fireworks?
Is hesitation a sign that it’s not right, or is it just a sign that you’re not ready? In matters of love how do you know when it’s right?

Tinkerbell:
Yes it was a great love, but he went that way and i went this way...
---------------------------
It seems like you had me but I've never had you.
--------------------------
What does this really mean? The ball is in my court or something? I don´t wanna play games. This is not the grand gesture. This is the vague gesture. Which is truly worse than no gesture at all.
--------------------------
Soulmate. Two little words, one big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart. And your dreamhouse. All you have to do is find them. So, where is this person? And if you love someone and it didn't work out, does that mean they weren't your soulmate? Were they just a runner-up contestant in this gameshow called happily ever after?
-----------------------------------
After he left, I cried for a week, and then I realised I do have faith. Faith in myself, faith that I would one day meet someone... who would be sure that I was the one.
----------------------------------

How do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not, as promised, conquer all?

---------------------------------

I finally figured out the only way to have Big in my life was to block out certain feelings. And now every feeling that I ever had is bubbling up all over the place with nowhere to go except out my eyeballs.
------------------------------
Carrie: You do this every time! Every time! What? Do you have some sort of radar? Carrie might be happy, it's time to sweep in and shit all over it?
Big: What? No, no, I came here to tell you something. I made a mistake. You and I.
Carrie: You and I nothing You can't do this to me again! You can not jerk me around!
Big: Carrie, listen to me. It is different this time.
Carrie: Oh, it's never different! It's six years of never being different! This is it! I am done! Don't call me ever again! Forget you know my number! In fact, forget you know my name! And you can drive up this street all you want... because I don't live here any more

Lost Boy:

So just love, make mistakes, and have wonderful times, but never second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is you are going.
------------
Carrie: Here in my arms was a guy who wanted to make my home better. And somewhere out there was one who wanted to pull it apart. It wasn't a left- or right-brainer, it was a no-brainer.
------------
I wanted to tell him I was afraid he could never love me the way I wanted to be loved. I was afraid that maybe he didn't have the capacity to love anyone but himself. I was afraid that, given the chance, he'd break my heart again. But I cheated and just said 'I guess I was afraid.'
------------
“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”

Worst Flame:

They say that opposites attract, but they never say for how long, i couldn’t help wondering, without sharing the word, could even the hottest relationship stop cold?
--------------------
I had a choice. I could run, or I could stand and ask him the question that if I didn't ask, would haunt me the rest of my life.
-------------------
Big: Carrie... Hold it, wait, wait.
Carrie: What? What? What is it?
Big: Don't end it like this.
Carrie: No, you're the one that ended it like this. I was trying to be friendly. So you know what, this seems like a much better way to end things.
--------------------

I feel sorry for Big, I really do. Because if you think about it, I was the best thing that ever happened to him. Actually, no. I pity him because I get to walk away and be me, and he has to walk away and stay him, you know? And who wants to be him when you could be me? I mean, I'm smart, I'm funny... I was this, this thing, you know I was it. I was this magic moment. I was the abracadabra. I was totally the "poof" in the relationship. I mean, I've got more "poof" in one finger than he could ever have. I mean, geez, sometimes I "poof" just hailing a cab. So I guess it's better to know now. So I can go "poof" someone else. Someone who deserves me, and not some screwed-up, insecure guy who can't deal with a woman who's got her act together. Now, I'm gonna end up deliriously happy and Big is gonna die old and alone, and I pity him. Really, I pity him.
-------------------------
Uh huh. Most women aren't angry, irrational psychos. We just want an ending to a relationship that... That is thoughtful and decent and honours what we had together. So my point, Billy, is this; There is a good way to break-up with someone, And it doesn't include a post-it.

Better Flame:

Oh, no no no, it's my own fault. I had to make the big let's-be-friends speech... But who am I kidding? Big and I were never friends. We were...something else.
------------------
When things come too easy we're suspect. Do they have to get complicated before we believe they're for real? We're raised to believe that the course of true love never runs smoothly. There always have to be obstacles in Act Two before you can live happily ever after in Act Three. But what happens when the obstacles aren't there? Does that mean there's something missing? Do we need drama to make a relationship work?
----------------
Suddenly my life was all about timing. All the right things at all the wrong times. My past coming back way too fast, and my future taking way too long to come home.
---------------
Einstein's Law of Relativity would have to be amended to include a special set of rules. Those to explain the peculiar effects of infatuation.

--------------
Carrie: ...because being in an actual relationship means taking a risk, you know? It's just, a leap of faith. No matter how many times one might have been disappointed in the past. So... So I said to myself, I'm just gonna show up. 'Cause you're a good man. A really good man. ... So why haven't you called me back?
---------------
Carrie: I have a crush.
Miranda: Um, yea, you haven't had a crush in a while, not since Big.
Carrie: Big wasn't a crush, he was a crash.

FUTURE ETERNAL FLAME:

I've done the merry-go-round. I've been through the revolving doors. I feel like I've met somebody I can stand still with for a minute. And don't you want to stand still with me?

--------------------
His hello was the end of her endings
Her smile, their first step down the aisle
His hand would be hers to hold forever
His forever was as simple as her smile

He said she was what was missing
She said instantly she knew
She was a question to be answered
And his answer was I do

-------------------

When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less...than BUTTERFLIES...

Calling and Hanging Up is So Retro!

"I don't believe in email.I'm an old fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up."
-Carrie Bradshaw

For the first time in years, I had a telephone conversation that lasted for more than an hour. Last night was soo retro. It was our version of "Catching Up" Circa 1990s.

Why don't people call each other anymore? We're so into "mobilility" that we can't, even for a few minutes, stop, sit in one corner and just talk anymore. Last night was a breath of fresh air. It was something to spice up my dull life.

Masama ang mga Babae, Masama ang mga Lalaki

[ang mga sinabi dito ay ayon lang sa mga naalala ko. Di perfect transcription ito!]

MRD:Kayo kasing mga babae, magulo.

Euns: Mas magulo kayo.

MRD: Di nyo kasi alam ang gusto nyo.

Euns: Ako alam ko.

Ces: May mapa na ngang binigay si Eunice, nawala parin.

Euns: Tsaka hello, kaming mga babae naghihintay lang. Di naman pwedeng kami ang gumalaw diba?

MRD: Puro kayo MIXED SIGNALS. Pag di kami gumalaw, galit. Pag kumikilos kami, aggressive kami masyado kaya umiiwas. Diba Carlo?

Carlo: Tama. Sang-ayon ako dyan.

Euns: Pakipot lang un.

Carlo: Exactly. Magulo kayo.

Euns: Di kasing gulo nyo.

MRD: Di kami pwede mag-assume.

Euns: Lalo naman kami! Kung sasabihin nyo lang naman na gusto nyo kami, malalaman nyo kung gusto rin namin kayo. Magdedesisyon lang naman kayo kung gusto nyo kami o hindi.

Carlo: Mahirap magdesisyon.

Euns: Mas mahirap maghintay.

MRD: Masama ang mga babae.

Euns: Mas masama ang mga lalaki.

--------------------------

Happy Birthday Carlo. Salamat sa araw na'to. =)

My Blue Rose for Everyone

Bakit ako natatawa?
Natatawa pero di natutuwa.
Natutuwa ka ba na nalulungkot ako?
Ako ang nagsusulat pero ako ang sumusunod.
Sumusunod-sunod, nagbabaka sakali, nagpaparamdam?
Nagpaparamdam ako pero di mo maramdaman, di naman manhid.
Manhid ka na ba sa lahat ng mga sampal, suntok at sipa ng kapalaran?
Kapalaran ang pagkikita sa walang kasiguraduhan na landas ng kasiyahan.
Kasiyahan na di pa dumadating sa kabila ng lahat ng kalungkutan?
Kalungkutang tinatamasa na parang walang katapusan.
Katapusan ba ang sagot sa lahat ng katanungan?

Katanungang maingay, sagot na tahimik.
Tahimik na sigaw, tenga'y sinarhan?
Sinarhan pati pusong sugatan.
Sugatan na naghihilom?
Naghihilom.

Natatawa
Natutuwa
Ako
Sumusunod-sunod
Nagpaparamdam

It Ain’t Crunch Time ‘til I say “CRUNCH”!

To add pressure to my already full of pressure love life, two of my friends, Ces and MRD decided to make their own love lives dependent on mine. Quoting them, “We will not date anyone until you finally have a BOYFRIEND. Not dating anyone, the guy must be your boyfriend.” According to Ces, “Will you want to look back at your life in law school and only have memories of ALMOST LOVE STORIES and COULD HAVE BEEN’s to remember?”, thanks Ces. And then, Carlo decided to join the bandwagon by nonchalantly saying that his love life, from now on, also depends on me.

So there Lord, if this is what you want, then bring it on. If you want four lovely single people to be single forever, then don’t allow me to meet that guy I’ve been waiting for all my life. Akala ko ba giving ka? [*Euns looks up to emphasize her conversation with the BIG GUY] Just kidding Lord.

Sabi nga ni God sa Evan Almighty,

“Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”

So to all my friends and to God, my request is… “Opportunity to LOVE naman jan!”

Eunice Looks at Her Friends and Says, "Right.

What Kind of Guy Will You Fall For?

NURSERY RHYMES

1. for Kids

Hey, please don’t tease me.
Our friends think it’s cheesy.

Don’t wink at me nor pinch my nose.
I don’t like you because you have big toes.

Don’t pout your lips and never hold my hand,
Or else a strong kick or a punch is sure to land.

Never call me “My Girl” in front of everyone,
If you do that again this friendship is done.

I admit I have fun whenever you’re around,
Especially when you trip and fall to the ground.

I won’t let you read this ‘coz I know you’ll laugh.
When we grow older, it can get tough.

2. For Adults

Don’t you dare tease me, you don’t know what you’re getting into.
I may be an angel but I know I make you itch too.

Don’t pout your lips nor hold my hands.
There’s too much sexual tension I sure might start to run.

Don’t wink at me nor pinch my nose
I swear I can smell trouble wherever this thing goes.

Don’t be too touchy nor hug me 'til I bend.
We might find each other yummy but I remember you call me friend.

This may sound wholesome, a nursery rhyme indeed.
But if we don’t take things slow, we might end up with a kid.

Does it ever get easier?

"Well, let's try this. Why don't you tell me what's on your mind. Then it can be on our minds. And our minds can worry about what's on your mind... together."

- Dan Humphrey, Gossip Girl

"Does it ever get easier?" - Friend's text message, April 26, 20008, 4am

I quickly replied, "Yes it does." But it was too late when I realized that it wasn't the right answer, it wasn't my answer. The truth is, it doesn't get easier. We just become stronger and more equipped. Our tolerance for pain, it just gets higher until we reach a certain kind of numbness. I call it selective numbness. We are able to choose which will affect us and which won't. We are able to take control.

Snow

samedi, décembre 24, 2005

I dreamt of snow last night.
I was jumping and laughing --
i fell. Still i conitinued laughing.
I looked up and realized
I was dreaming. Not

because it can't be

snowing but because
I saw you laughing with me.
You are snow. You exist,
but not when I'm dreamin'.
