Looking Outward Together

"Love does not consist of gazing into each others eyes, but looking outward in the same direction." Today as I was driving I this quote came to my mind. I can't remember who said it, but it's one that I have loved for awhile now, but only now I am really beginning to understand what it truly means.

Anxiously Goodly Happy

My heart is anxiously, goodly happy!

Patuloy ang Pangarap

Patuloy ang Pangarap

Di pa rin makapaniwala
Sa lahat ng nangyayari
Pangarap parang kailan lang 
Sa panaginip ko’y nakita

Ngayon ay dumating
Nang bigla sa aking buhay
Di naubusan ng pag-asa
Ako’y nanalig sa

Isang pangarap
Ako’y naniniwala
Ako ay lilipad at ang
Lahat makakakita

Sa isang pangarap
Ako’y naniniwala
Hindi ako titigil
Hangga’t aking makakaya

Unti-unting mararating
Tagumpay ko’y makikita
Patuloy ang pangarap

Di pa rin makapaniwala
Sa aking nakikita
Lahat ng panalangin ko
Ngayon may kasagutan
Lhat ng pinagdaanan
At pinaghirapan
Nagbigay ng kalakasan
Upang marating

Ang isang pangarap
Ako’y naniniwala
Ako ay lilipad at ang
Lahat makakakita

Sa isang pangarap
Ako’y naniniwala
Hindi ako titigil
Hangga’t aking makakaya

Unti-unting mararating
Tagumpay ko’y makikita
Patuloy ang pangarap

Kahit saan kahit kailan
Alam kong ako’y patungo
Sa marami pang tagumpay

Sa isang pangarap
Ako’y naniniwala
Ako ay lilipad at ang
Lahat makakakita

Sa isang pangarap
Ako’y naniniwala
Hindi ako titigil
Hangga’t aking makakaya

Unti-unting mararating
Tagumpay ko’y makikita
Patuloy ang pangarap
Patuloy ang pangarap

When It's For You

So the other day I came across this song. I love love love it! Cheesy well yeah okay a little, but that's what I like. If you can tell me what movie this song is in I will treat you to an ice cream. (and no internet searches) ;) 

Offer me your hand
And I will give my heart
Ask me for a sketch
And I'll paint a work of art
And I know I can
When it's for you

In the light of day
We all believe we can
It's when we're in the dark
That we need a helping hand
Ooh, mine is always there
When it's for you

I can't help it
I can't hide it
It's what you bring out in me
'Cause you give me inspiration
Nothing's too much
When it's for you

Ponderings To Musings

Sometimes I watch reality TV. The other day I was watching Giuliana and Bill (confession here not the first time I have watched it and I like it) They are actively enduring the challenge of infertility. At the end of the episode I watched they found out the latest treat they had done didn't result in a pregnancy, this is what Bill said to Gulianna and it has just stuck with me. "It'll be all right in the end and if it's not all right it's not the end."

"I found that I don't need a lover to have love in my life- I need me." This one is from Jenny McCarthy. I saw part of her interview with Oprah and Oprah asked her about her break-up with Jim Carey. The above quote is similar to her response. She discussed some of the lessons she learned. One of the biggest ones she said was that she really learned that she didn't need to have a lover to have love in her life, she really needed to love herself and that there are many many people in her life to love. I found this insightful. Lately, I have been asked a lot about how my "lovelife" is and after hearing her response I have been pondering the two things together. Having love in our lives is essential. Love, happiness and enjoying life definitely go hand and hand.
