A Recap
The first time I met Sel was during the birthday party of my lolo. Mom invited her friend Carmel, who happened to be Selwyn's mom. It was a very long time ago and so all I can recall is I had a simple crush on him back then, being the atenista guy who acted so suave.... We never talked, our eyes never met.
The second time I met Sel was in Philippine Science Highschool. Mom wanted me to try getting in Phi-sci (obviously I failed), and I saw him there... Just a simple glimpse, just a simple stare from me, and not from him.
The third time I met Sel was in his cousin's auntie's party. Now this time around its different. I was the girlfriend of his cousin then... We nodded our heads-an act to say hi, we were inside one car, we played billiards together, yet we still never talked and our eyes still never met.
The fourth time I met Sel was already planned. His cousin and I broke up. The turn of events were quite fast. We became phone pals. We talked over the phone for hours. I had a different name. Then he decided to cut off the phone pal thing and unfolded my real name (which he knew since the first day I called), and so we decided to meet... Our eyes met, we said hi, we talked for hours in Mcdonalds SM North, we went to UP and talked some more, we watched movie (the End of days) and still talked some more after.
The fifth time I met Sel, I knew I was already in love with him... It was the start of the many great moments of my life.

The Heart of a Woman
One of my favorite games when I was a little girl was 'kidnap and rescue'. I used to remember playing with my childhood friends and cousins, and I would insist on being the girl to be rescued. Imagine one uber chubby girl making demands on being the heroine, and no one can protest coz we are all playing in our backyard. Its my home so its my call :)
Every woman simply love the feeling of being wanted and fought for. This desire is set deep in the hearts of every women since they were little girls. To be desired, to be pursued, to be romanced in any way possible are most of women's addictions. We wanted to be the top priority.
Though nowadays, women act as warriors: independent, strong, very much capable of anything, for most men wanted more from us. And so at times we pretend to be the women of twenty first century, blah blah blah. Yet buried deep within our hearts is the desire to be sought after and loved. We wanted to be contiously romanced and pursued. That makes us come alive.
"I want to be beautiful
And make you stand in awe.
Look inside my heart,
And be amazed
I want to hear you say..."

UP I LOVE!
"Carl finally arrives at the falls. He has finally achieved his goal and kept his promise to Ellie-to make Ellie's dream adventure happen. But he doesn't feel happy. Carl picks up Ellie's adventure book beside his feet. He flips through the pages, up until the page marked "Stuff I'm Going To Do". Thinking that the pages will be blank, Carl goes to shut it. He is heartbroken for he knew Ellie will no longer see that he kept his promise. But he is suprised, noticing a bit of picture on the next page: The pages were not empty. They are filled with pictures of Carl and Ellie's life together. The final photo is of them, elderly and in their chairs. Below, in the corner, Ellie has written: "Thanks for the adventure. Now go have a new one. Love, Ellie." Carl learns that Ellie saw their simple life as her adventure."

The Wedding Passbook
An inspiring story which Selwyn and I will follow.....
Monica married Robert this day. At the end of the wedding party,Monica's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With $1000 deposit.
Mother: 'Monica, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's
something happy and memorable that happens in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can
put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Robert. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.'
Monica shared this with Robert when they got home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. This was what they did after certain time:
7 Feb: $100, first birthday celebration for Robert after marriage
1 Mar: $300, salary raise for Monica
20 Mar: $200, vacation trip to Bali
15 Apr: $2000, Monica got pregnant
1 Jun: $1000, Robert got promoted
..... and so on.....
However, years after, they started fighting and arguing over trivial things.They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married....no more love... kind of typical nowadays...
One day Monica talked to her Mother.
Monica: 'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce.. I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure Monica, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage.'
Monica thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and
looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.
When she was home, she handed the passbook to Robert and asked him to spend the money before getting divorced. The next day, Robert gave the passbook back to Monica. She found a new
deposit of $5000. And a line next to the record:
'This is the day I noticed how much I've loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you've brought me.'
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe. Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone thru all the good years in their life.

The Wife of a Noble Character
She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
She can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.

Thoughts
For sometime now I've been pondering on some random thoughts in my head... the reasons that lead us to choose whatever we choose. This question got further triggered realizing the start of the BER months (which I was all so excited about for a couple of months way back).
I want to know what actually prompts us to make a step into the unknown, what is it that inspires us to make a big shift, a crucial leap? What inspires us to step from an ordinary life onto a very different track? Is it that at a certain point we have enough of everything, enough of meaninglessness life pattern and wanted to shift gears towards a more detailed route, taking life more seriously with a concrete map? Is it because we are getting a bit older everyday?
No matter how I look at it, it definitely seems to me that the sooner we make a step, the better it will be for our own well-being. That even though we have these fears and anxieties of the unknown, holding ourselves back and waiting for the perfect moment still isnt the right thing to do. After all there is no perfect moment. With the clock mercilessly ticking somewhere in the background, we just have to have that brave heart and simply just take the leap.
... it always somehow comes down to the realization of the importance of the question how do we want to spend this precious little time we have, what life do we want to lead, what do we feel we are here for --- LOVE that's all it is.
