If you love someone, ask them for nothing.
Don't hold them back from their destiny.
Don't keep them from going off in search of their own answers.
Don't ask them for commitment.
You will know commitment is real when it is something given willingly and not as something obligatory.
Don't ask them for promises.
If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.
And when that time arrives,
then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free,
and have instead gained a richer, fuller life,
a wealth of experiences,
and a stronger certainty of your desires.
But should they not return to you,
then life hasn't cheated you because no promises were broken.
Your bitterness will not last long,
and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least,
this beautiful soul has colored your life,
that knowing them has already made life infinitely more meaningful.
By setting a person free,
you run a risk of them not returning.
But always remember that you found them beautiful precisely because they were free.
People are like sunlight. You can feel their warmth, and their glow,
but you can't hold them in your hand and keep them with you forever.
People CHOOSE to stay.
But a choice is made more meaningful when it is made despite so many other options.
Love has no restrictions and it is through mistakes that sometimes we see the right answer.
Because if you love someone,
you ask them for nothing
and they will come back to you.
Just say the words "I'll see you soon"
And I'll be waiting for you right here in this room

I've been internet-deprived lately, so forgive me with the slight abandonment of this site:)
But since I'm back, lemme update you with what's going on with me lately.
Wait, where do I start?
Hmmm..I took my last shifts at the ward department last cut off. Yes, I got rotated. Guess where?
tantananantanaaaaan!
ICU/CCU department. The area that I dreaded the most. Well, ER department still tops my list (for some personal reasons). Just the sound of our 'rampa' thingy sends shivers down my spine. ack!
I had my first duty at my new area the other day, and maaaaan, felt like I was back to square one:( Boo that. It was confusing at first, believe me. If you're gonna leave me there alone, I'd go nuts in a matter of minutes. Or even seconds. Haha:) But things got pretty okay at the end of the day. I tagged along with my partner, Bern, who graciously and patiently showed me how things work at their department. Well, our department, that is.
Sooooo, I had minor boo-boo's on day 1, which was pretty forgivable :) Day 2 was still confusing, but I sailed thru it. And as for the rest of this cut off? Well, let's just see what happens. Big ups for the challenge. Bring it on:)
---
Things are pretty steady with the love department. I'm holding on to whatever he says, and am trying to dust off the rest of the issues. I'm too happy to think about negative thoughts this time:)
One more night one more day
One more smile on your face

Just got back from Bora this morning:) This might be a long-ass entry, uhm just bear with me.
That trip was good. Had fun bonding with the family and my sister's boyfriend. Downside? I ended up missing Bru so much:( Well, I got to text/talk to him so it's all good:)
We had some major issues during my stay there, but we managed to talk it out. I hope everything's perky when I get to see him again. But no doubt, we'll have a blast for sure.
Okay. Trip buzz muna.
I saw some good friends during our stay there. Earlzon checked in at our hotel with his friends. I wasn't able to bond with them when we went to BomBom because Earlzon was busy puking his guts out at the hotel. But I got to bond with them again the next night. Sex on the beach night at Paraw while playing cards (oh, yea. I almost lost my phone that night) Mad fun:) and the beach bonding, of course. Waiting for the others to upload the photos from Paraw. And yes, the cartwheel shots at the beach:)
I finally got to hang out with my sweets once again. The retard twins are soooo back! I forgot to bring my cam that night, so I'm still waiting for Trinsy to upload photos. I saw Ate Anne as well, that gorgeous bride-to-be this December:) Fun night at BomBom:)
