The Porcupines and Solidarity from Paulo Coelho's Blog.

Reader Alvaro Conegundes tells that during the ice age many animals died because of the cold. Seeing this situation, the porcupines decided to group together, so they wrapped up well and protected one another.

But they hurt one another with their thorns, and so then they decided to stay apart from one another.

They started to freeze to death again. So they had to make a choice: either they vanished from the face of the earth or they accepted their neighbor’s thorns.

They wisely decided to stay together again. They learned to live with the small wounds that a very close relationship could cause, because the most important thing was the warmth given by the other.

And in the end they survived.

I'm sorry if I said you are selfish.

This time I won't even try.

And it is not because I am tired of trying.

There are times when I wish that I wasn't strong-willed, or I wish that I have a better understanding of things. Sometimes I wish, things will sort out for me, without me trying my hardest, or maybe without me trying at all. But that is just wishful thinking, and life is not easy to take, so now what I want to do is to accept.

This time, I won't ask myself any of the What If questions, because the more I ask myself these, the more I think of regretting everything that didn't pay off, although God knows I gave it my hundred percent... and more. The more I ask myself these what ifs, the more I am willing to try all over again, and risk falling again.

So this time, I won't even try.

I take back Kelsey, because I realized, I don't know how to swim.

I don't know how to swim pala...

Isang wish: ayoko ng masaktan. :(

asa naman ako.

Hindi ko alam... kung ano ang ginagawa ko dito. Dapat pala, sarili ko muna pinaglaban ko.


Last summer na ito friends :)

This is to remind me how happy I was today.


wooot woot

Yesterday after class, me and my friends went to MV Doulos. For those who do not know, MV Doulos is the oldest passenger ship turned into a floating bookstore. Their crew are mostly foreigners. The bookstore mostly sells Christian, children, and family books. They also sell Christian albums, greeting cards and of course, souvenirs.

MV Doulos is at the port near Manila Hotel (I'm sorry I don't know which port is that), it is open from 10am-10pm, Tuesdays to Saturdays; 2pm-10pm, Sundays and Mondays.

I am sorry if this is so random :)

Lately, it seems to me that we have both drifted into our own separate worlds. Which was good because that means that we can do well with ourselves. However, I feel that while you freely come and go in my little paradise, I unfortunately have to go through some... let's say, obstacles, to get into yours. As time went by, I have learned my way through tough times, I have exceeded my patience, and hoped that at the end of the maze, there'll be something worth waiting for me. There are times when I almost wanted to give up, press the close button, and see what will happen to me next, but just like the fighter that I am, I didn't give up.

Every morning, I wake up with the sun rays lighting my face thinking, this is going to be a new day. Every night, I sleep in my bed, eyes almost always wet saying, there is always tomorrow.

Right now, just need every reason why I should hold on to tomorrow's promises, because I am tired of waking up and knowing that today is just like yesterday.

Everything is the same.

POSTSCRIPTS:
You always seem to be in a good mood, I just can't see me spoiling it. I really need to be loved right now. I just don't feel it like before... maybe it's just me... I don't know.

I'm afraid to show how I really feel about you because at the back of my mind, I know that when you become so tired of me being like this, you could always leave me.

Which is sad, but I know it's the truth.

When you have read this, please don't confront me about this. Screw me because I am always afraid.

It is enough for me to know that you have read this, and know what's keeping me quiet most of the time.

If I am quiet, I just need you to stay with me. I know you hate me being quiet, but it's the one thing I know how to do... I'll come around in time.

I'm sorry if I'm being difficult like this. :(
