Dr. Burke's vow

pahabol po sa balentayms! haha..

i just want to share one of my favorite scenes in my oh-so-peborit TV series, Grey's Anatomy. the part where the heart specialist, Dr.Burke, was rehearsing his wedding vows while operating on a patient.






to those who have not watched this scene yet, just have a little patience while the vid loads.


the wedding vow:

“Christina, I could promise to hold you and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say ’till death do us part. But I won’t. Those vows are for optimistic couples. The ones full of hope. And I do not stand here, on my wedding day, optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic, I am not hopeful. I am sure, I am steady, and I know. I am a heart man: I take them apart, I put them back together. I hold them in my hands. I am a heart man. So this, I am sure. You are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart, my heart, beats for you. And on this day, the day of my wedding, I promise you this: I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hand. I promise you ME.”

pero mas maganda pa din panuorin kesa basahin! promise! sa sobrang kilig ko, i replayed the scene several times and i tried memorizing the lines. hehe.. napa-wish din ako na sana may isa din na Dr. Burke na magsabi sakin nyan (pero 'yung mas gwapo naman kay Dr. Burke.. hehe)

Belated Happy Valentine's! hehe parang birthday lang ah.. Hope you experienced and shared some love. :)

i'd rather be with . . .

"would you rather be with SOMEONE YOU CAN LIVE WITH or with SOMEONE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT?"

just a few minutes ago, tinanong ni Sharon Cuneta ang tanong na 'yan sa mga guests niya. silently, i tried answering. the question was somehow similar with "sinong mas pipiliin mo, 'yung taong mahal ka pero hindi mo naman mahal o 'yung taong mahal na mahal mo pero hindi ka naman mahal?"

my answer then was always: " 'dun na ko sa taong mahal ako. kung pipiliin ko 'yung tao na hindi naman ako mahal knowing na hindi naman siya happy with me, hindi rin naman ako magiging masaya. at least, 'yung tao na nagmamahal sa'kin, matututunan ko naman siya mahalin."

coward! yes, i am. takot ako na maiwan, i've always said that. and it shows in my chicken-hearted answer. sigurista? bingo! i wanted to be certain and reassured that i am loved, rather than risk on living a life of uncertainty with someone i am hopelessly in love with. ang katwiran ko, i could learn loving someone who loves me with all his heart. then maybe, it will be a happy ending for the two of us, maybe.

another question: could love really be taught and learned?

honestly, i do not think so. wala naman daw formula ang love. once it strikes, you can never run away from it. when it doesn't strike, then it doesn't. hindi naman pwede ipilit. sabi nga ni Marjorie, hindi niya daw kayang magpretend to be in love with someone na wala naman talaga siyang nararamdaman. i also think i can't.

so, back with the original question: "would you rather be with SOMEONE YOU CAN LIVE WITH or with SOMEONE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT?"

my REVISED answer: i would like to be with someone i can live with, someone who would love and accept every single thing about me, someone who would give me the love that i need. BUT, i would still choose to be with someone i can not live without, someone who will make me feel like i'm in a roller coaster ride, someone who will bring out the best and worst in me, someone who will defy me when i am wrong and fight me stubbornly.

i would choose to be with the person i can not live without, because i would want to live; and how could i, if i will deny myself the only person in this world that would keep me breathing?

who knows? it might be in my lucky stars that the "someone i can live with" and the "someone i can not live without" is just one and the same. i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

hearts breaking on hearts' day

girl friend, it breaks our hearts to see you cry.
no matter how many times we tell you that we are here for you,
it still won't be enough.
your heart would still ache for that special guy.
i hope he realizes how special you are.
i know you miss him so.
i know you love him so.
but sometimes it is yourself you should be loving more.
your Romeo might not have come to celebrate this day with you.
but HE has so many things in store for a lovely butterfly like you.
so smile still. hope still. love still.
soon you are gonna be fine,
you are gonna be fine.
:)

how to get a date this v-day.

try using these pick-up lines i learned from and used to my good friend and classmate rj. after blurting these things out, we burst out laughing at each other's ka-cornyhan.

these are real conversations i had with him. we like to pretend that we are "in like" with each other just for the fun of batuhan of the cheesiest lines.


************************************************************

i forgot who and what we were discussing about. i just remembered the crappy line.. hehe


me: haay nako, ok lang yun 'no. at least siya, inaabot niya ung dreams niya.

rj: eh naabot ko na naman 'yung dreams ko eh
. . . when i met you.

***********************************************************
we were having a film viewing for our Lit class, and we were like in the cinemas.


me: hi, is this seat taken?

rj: no, it's really for you. ahm, can i know your name?

me: my name is shashi. what's yours?

rj: just call me right. . . MR. RIGHT!



wuhoo.. panalo talaga 'to! napabunghalit talaga kami pareho ng tawa pagkasabi nya nun.

***********************************************************

kahapon...


rj: san ka ngayong valentine's?

me: sa puso mo.


anak ng pating naman oh!

a piece of advice if you really want to get yourself a date on the 14th :
NEVER USE THESE LINES!!! haha
Happy Hearts' month guys!
:)

the story behind yesterday's entry

i was so angry, so mad, so outraged with someone i would love to address as 'the bitch'. obviously, i still have some of that rage with me as i am doing this blog.

wednesday morning: i was so surprised when i've read two comments in my FS account.





wouldn't you be surprised and pissed off if one day, some 'b.' you have never set eyes upon and have never had a single word with, left you comments as sharp as those?more surprisingly, 'the b.' turns out to be a friend's kin.

my theory was that 'the b.' misunderstood the comment i left for my friend. i swear, it was a very casual message complete with a haha and a smiley:), that i do not understand what 'the b.' found so hateful about it. i choose not to mention that comment i did for my friend, out of my utmost respect for her, something 'the b.' did not have.

i've been close to responding to her comments with all the curses i knew. but again, out of respect for my friend and for myself i did not. i have been raised by my parents with principles so i decided to take the higher roads and send her a message as calm as this one instead:



Thursday afternoon: i opened my FS because i am anticipating a reply from my message. how right i was, 2 messages were in store for me.






that did it! i could not help but cry to my girl friends about it. i have not done anything at all, anything that could offend her. i replied one last time, then blocked her account.

no one had ever sent me to unparalleled heights of anger before. you must be very proud of yourself, bitch!

this is the end of it. i refuse to ruin another precious day with the sickening thought of you.

friend, if you come across this blog, i hope you understand that i am just unleashing my fury.
