Becoming Yourself

I spent midnight till early morning chatting with a friend I'd rather not mention the name for privacy.  Let's just put a name to refer to "JoyStick".

It's one, if not the one…. relaxing chat conversations of opening up… of knowing the deeper aspect of being a person.  Why I find it so relaxing?  The topic might be too personal but it's the trust and sincerity of opening up that makes me value and appreciate the moment.

JoyStick is a lesbian.  Upfront.  Sincere.  And will never allow any person to be uncomfortable at her being lesbian.  That being self-assured is one I admire the most.  Many misunderstood the notion of admitting being bisexual, gay or lesbian… but I am always too happy when a person opens up to me and share this…

Breaking up the silence is not that easy and being one of the very few persons to be entrusted of this is what I forever value and treasure.

Am I?  No, I'm not.  It's just that my encounters with the third sex are too many that I began to be very curious at how each of them lives the way of being one … knowing the transformation, experience and opening up… i find so interesting.

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.

They may be different from the usual… belonging to another classification of gender preference…. but I salute those who admit it to themselves… it's what that frees them!

Kudos to all of you!  Thanks JoyStick for sharing those moments!

Complete

When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on–series polygamy–until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.

Tom Robbins. American Novelist. b.1936

I read this just now and I immediately post it in my blog… for I find it worthy to be shared to everyone.

Question Thy Self

This one's from Debbie.  Reading this, makes me feel guilty somehow.  Been inactive in service in Singles for Christ for so long… I remember in many events of SFC that I've been given rosary to pray and act as "Prayer Warrior".  The task of Prayer Warrior is too critical…. for he/she is praying for the group in defense of anything bad or any strike of the Other's Side… For so many years, I respond to the call of being God's Warrior.

The desire to serve subsides… for some reasons known and unknown… I let it affect my faith and service not just to the entire community of SFC and the people that needs it… but most specially… with God.

All of us are soldiers of God.

So when you feel tired, wounded and weak,

Don't give up.

The battle is at its peak.

and in His lead, we'll always find glory!

I find myself weak at people I doubt… or people I'm so uncomfortable dealing with… or whose desire I highly questioned.

But I failed to question myself.

Ten-ten-tenen

Well… 2 more wedding cakes to eat… on December 15 courtesy of Jun and Joyce and on January 12 for Ann Jesamine.

Too glad that they end up with the "Love of their Lives"… and grateful for having known their husbands-to-be in some ways.

Everytime my friend introduce me to their boyfriends/girlfriends, this is the usual thought that pops out of my mind…

Hindi totoo ang sumpa! 

And for you guys, never untie the knot!

Love of a Lifetime

Well I found myself humming this tune, after watching it sung by a couple in Wowowee.. I browse the net and found out that it is entitled "Love of a Lifetime", a song from FireHouse.  I find it too special when sung by that couple. 

Love Of A Lifetime

I guess the time was right for us to say,
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day.
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer,
We know our dreams can all come true with love that we can share.

With you I never wonder, will you be there for me?
With you I never wonder … you're the right one for me.

I finally found a love of a lifetime,
A love to last my whole life through.
I finally found a love of a lifetime,
Forever in my heart, I finally found a love of a lifetime.

With every kiss our love is like brand new,
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you.
Still we both know that the road is long,
But we know that we will be together because our love is strong

I finally found a love of a lifetime,
A love to last my whole life through.
I finally found a love of a lifetime,
Forever in my heart, I finally found a love of a lifetime.

I finally found a love of a lifetime,
A love to last my whole life through.
I finally found a love of a lifetime,
Forever in my heart, I finally found a love of a lifetime.

I finally found a love of a lifetime,
I finally found a love of a lifetime,
I finally found a love of a lifetime,
Forever in my heart, I finally found a love,
…………………………………… of a lifetime.

Simple bonding

I was supposed to visit my favorite hairstylist at Rob Ermita yesterday when I decided to text my bestfriend.  Instead of having my new haircut, we opted to watch Harry Potter.  Rech and I used to sneak out just to watch movies… and Harry Potter series is one of the usual movie we intend not to miss watching out together…

Sometimes, I find myself sleeping on her shoulders, while she's busy figuring out how the movie goes and will end up waking me up as soon as the movie ends.

While inside the moviehouse and sipping frosty jelly… when we were almost done…. we looked at each other and said…

"Anlamig!!!" <lol>

I love our simple bonding together… something I'm always excited about…

I love myself when I don't need to be guarded of my "what-am-I-suppose-to-tell-or-react" behavior.  It's fun to be with real friends who demand nothing but to be yourself amidst all the odds.

Okay then… let's watch Meg Ryan ha?
