True Love And Romantic Fiction, The Perfect Couple

The world is intrigued by true love stories just as much as fiction these days. Now, you can find a variety of sites dedicated to the reality of love at your perusal.

It goes to show you that just as many of us are captivated by the reality of romance as we are by a good romance fiction.

Although the two can offer some of the same results for the reader, it's clear they both bring something of their own individual value to the table.

You can't always get the same thing from true love stories that you can get from romantic fiction and vice versa. Neither can replace the other, but they both certainly do make the perfect couple.

You can take a closer look and see that we are often drawn to both types for different reasons. One very significant reason that many of us are captivated by romantic fiction is escapism.

The ability to dream and dare to dream. To live out experiences that would be impossible in reality... or unlikely. To take on new lives and journey to new worlds that don't exist, for the sheer pleasure of it.

We get to ask ourselves, "What life do I want to live today?" and then pick up a book and choose our own adventure that journeys us through our pick of the day.

True love stories can't really replace the sort of bond we form with fiction. Reality is one thing but fantasy is another.

Of course true love stories offer their own sort of getaway, but the boundaries are clear. In reality, most stories are bound by life's limitations. Oh, you may have a few exceptions to the rule, in which something miraculous happened, but that's on an every-now-and-then basis.

But even then we will never be able to journey to a different world and experience life in ways that exist in fiction.

However, true love stories do have a magic of their own. The truth and experiences that we all share in this world will always carry greater weight with us. To connect with a real person who experienced similar trials can't be replaced by fiction.

Curiosity may drive us to read a true story but it's inspiration and intrigue that keeps us there. Knowing someone out there--someone real has gone through something we've personally experienced is powerful.

True, we may be able to make up a sort of false reality with romantic fiction, but it can't replace the substance of truth. That real connection.

True love stories have their own individual quality. They draw us in, because really... what could be more fascinating than reading a true tale about love offset by the circumstance of reality? We all know there's no guarantee in life. Whether we will be dealt a good or bad hand in love is questionable.

We don't know the odds, or what the outcome in our lives will be in the end or during our own personal adventure through life.

When we add the limitations of uncertainty to the pot and combine them together with love--that alone captures our interest.

Whether the ending is good or bad, we're intrigued by the fortunes and misfortunes of reality, because life truly does imitate art.

eff,.. >,<

**as time passes by, we tend to forget some things due to all the other stuff we encounter everyday. I guess its not our mistake if feelings and emotions rub off as if you never felt it. there are times though, that we force ourselves to forget, but that's a different situation. and there are times when we keep those feelings and emotions. those don't last though, due to our fast-paced environment. and even if you manage to keep it for the longest time, it will eventually take its toll and die out, like something that decreased its value over time and is discarded..

or maybe its just me. maybe time has nothing to do with it. maybe lasting feelings and emotions depend on the person, and each person has a way of dealing with them.. **

A Girl's Tears,..


if a girl cries in front of u,
it means that she couldnt take
it anymore.
If u take her hand,
she would stay with u for the rest of ur life;
If u let her go, she couldnt go back to
being
herself anymore.

A gal wont cry easily,
except in front of the person whom she
loves
the
most,
she becomes weak.

A gal wont cry easily,
only when she love u the most,
she put down her ego.

Guys, if a gal cries bcoz of u,
please hold her hands firmly,
coz she's the one who is willing to stay
with u 4
for the
rest
of ur life.

Guys, if a gal cries bcoz of u,
please dont give her up,
maybe bcoz of ur decision,
u ruin her life.

When she cry rite in front of u,
When she cry bcoz of u,
Look into her eyes,
Can u see n feel the pain n hurt she's
feeling?
Think.
Which other girl have cried with pure
sincerity,
In front of u,
And bcoz of u?

She cries not because she is weak,
She cries not bcoz she wants sympathy or
pity,
She cries,
Because crying silently is no longer
possible,
the pain, hurt n agony have bcome too
big a
burden to be
kept inside.

Guys,
Think about it,
If a gal cry her heart out to u,
And all because of u,
Its time to look back on wat u have done,
Only u will know the answer to it.

Do consider it,
Coz one day,
It may b too late for regrets,
It may b too late to say "im sorry".

what my world is like without him,..



***sometimes, we put too much passion on the biggest dreams and priorities in life that we fail to love the smallest pleasures from simple things.. we search so much for the right choices, for the right paths to walk through, for the right time and for the right reasons,.. but life isn't about searching for the things that can be found,.. it is about letting the unexpected happen and finding things you never searched for,..

***lately, i've been having these stupid thoughts,.. i would be so miserable with out him,.. i dont know,.. im really confused and so much is going through my head,.. i dont know if i can be without him,..

and when i get impatient...

sometimes i feel alone..
sometimes i feel impatient..
my heart saddens..
but then i think about it again..

A Letter For Him...

I am wondering at this very minute if you are thinking of me, if like me, you are wondering what is taking us so long to find each other. Many times I thought I finally found you only to be disillusioned by the fact that my wait has not yet ended. I get up each morning hoping, dreaming, and longing to meet you. I'm thinking of how we will meet, would it be as romantic as the ones I have seen in the movies? Or is it possible that I've already met you but we have yet to realize that we are meant for each other? Sometimes I ask myself if I have ever really known "love". I do not have the answer to that question either but I believe that, more often than not, we will never really know what love is until we find that right person and since I have not found you yet, then maybe I do not really know what love is! You just don't know how I dream of finally knowing what it feels in you arms. Even at this very moment im imagining how you will simply sweep me off my feet! Perhaps I'd be drawn to you by your smile, your eyes, or maybe even how you manage to make me laugh by your silly little ways! I don't really know for sure but im praying that god will help me recognize you when the right time comes. I think of all the pain that I have gone through in the past and how much ive cried ever since I started my search. I just wanted you to know that I find my strength in clinging onto my vision of the beautiful life ahead of me -- the life I shall spend with you. In my mind and in my heart I know that you are worth all the pain and sacrifice. After all, the tears have become a part of my life and I believe that they are slowly washing away my flaws so that I would become perfect, not perfect in its truest sense, but perfect --- for you!


At night I utter a silent prayer and send all my cries to the heavens above thinking that in time they would reach you. And when I feel impatient, I just close my eyes and believe that you are on you way and that you are longing to see me as well. It is funny that when I finally fall asleep, it is still you I think of, for you are always in my dreams. It seems that for now that is the only place where I can hold on to you, long enough to tell you how much I love you. In my dreams you would kiss away my fears and wrap me with your arms of love. And this, all the more, makes me want to wake up and face the new day ahead with the hope that soon enough,, you will no longer be a dream but a reality and once again im assured that you are worth the wait. And when that time comes, everything will fall into its place, just as I had imagined, just as I had thought and dreamed, just as I had believed it would be! By then, I would simply look back and smile at all that I have gone through in spite of the pain and amidst the simple joys of life -- and I would be very thankful because they all led me to you! In the meantime, take care of yourself for me. Hold on to our dream and don't ever think of letting go. Believe in your heart that we will find each other no matter what happens. God has planned the course and it is up to us to follow the directions. Don't worry about getting lost, god saw to it that all the roads, no matter which one you choose to follow, lead to me.

things i've learned..

wee, finally nagkaron aq ng time na maglagay uli ng entry d2.. haha.. 

it has always been said that you learn something new everyday.. keia nmn naicpan kong i-list down at i-share lahat ng mga bagay na natutunan ko..

i've learned that...
you should put God first above all things.. if you do, everything will be better..
there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it..
i have hard time expressing what i really feel..
you cannot make someone love you.. all you can do is be someone who can be loved..
no matter how much i care, some people just don't care back..
just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that they don't love each other..
it's not WHAT you have in your life but WHO you have in your life that counts..
you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do but to the best you can do..
when a person is silent, he might have something bothering him..
no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you once in a while and you must learn forgive them for that..
no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy   with..
sometimes when i'm angry, i have the right to be angry but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel..
if you want to cheer yourself up, you should try cheering someone else up..
the things you like to occur won't happen if you only imagine.. if you want things to happen, then DO something to make it happen..
whenever I decide something with kindness, I usually make the right decision..
life sometimes gives you a second chance..
no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow..
i still have a lot to learn.. ^,^


If you think you
are beaten, you are;
If you think you
dare not, you don't;

If you'd like to win,
but think you'll
lose, you're lost.

For out in the world
we find success begins
with a person's faith;

It's all in the
state of mind.

Life's battle
don't always go
to the stronger
or faster hand;
They go to the one
who trusts in God
and always thinks

"I can."
