The saddest rain...

The saddest rain is the one that cannot outflow your tears.

Please don't let him know the difference between my teardrops and the raindrops when he sees me crying in the rain. I'd rather drown in my own tears than to know that he can tell the difference and yet he does nothing to wipe them off my face.

Have you ever been in love?

A woman went to a church to pray. Her prayer was simple. She said, "I wanted to be happy." The next day, while out with some friends, she had the weirdest experience. The moment she glanced at her best guy pal, as if being sucked into a vortex, she remembered all the happy times she had with the guy. She suddenly realized that happiness is just right in front of her all these years... and it took her 16 years to realize that.

Sometimes, even before we even say our prayers, they were already answered... And when we're just too occupied to even realize that, the Heaven intervenes in the most amazing way.

The two are now together, building more happy memories.

 

Love, Love, Love

HAPPY LOVE DAY TO ALL!

Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt

Shucks! Still aching. It is not easy but I will get by. How long has it been? Seems like forever.

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

Did I disappoint you or let you down?

Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,

Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.

Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,

I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.

You changed my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I knew when,

My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your hand.

Shared your dreams and shared your bed.

I know you well, I know your smell.

I've been addicted to you.

Chorus (2x)

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,

You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.

And as you move on, remember me,

Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.

I've watched you sleeping for a while.

I'd be the father of your child.

I'd spend a lifetime with you.

I know your fears and you know mine.

We've had our doubts but now we're fine,

And I love you, I swear that's true.

I cannot live without you.

Chorus (2x)

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.

In mine when I'm asleep.

And I will bear my soul in time,

When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Chorus (2x)

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

Outro (2x)

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Our words can be so hard to decipher sometimes. No need to worry guys because the Manslater can translate our words to what we really mean.

Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding date revealed

Where The Wind Blows: Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged


After much speculation on when and where the could-be-wedding-of-the-decade will be, the British Monarchy Twitter (wow, they have Twitter account) announced that the wedding will be on April 29th at Westminster Abbey. The lovely couple chose the date because they wanted a spring wedding and it is the feast of St. Catherine of Siena. The Westminster Abbey, on the other hand, has sentimental values. It is where Queen Elizabeth II wed and where British kings and queens were crowned. Although many speculated that the wedding will be held at St. Paul's Cathedral-where Princess Diana and Prince Charles wed in 1981-the couple opted for a more intimate location as Westminster Abbey holds lesser seats.

Prime Minister David Cameron already announced that the wedding day will be a holiday.

So, mark it on your calendar...April 29. The date the most eligible bachelor will tie the knot... and we will just watch him drift away with Kate.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged

Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement today after 8 years of dating.  They plan to wed in 2011.  Prince William gave Prince's Diana's engagement ring of 18-karat blue sapphire  surrounded by diamonds to Kate a month ago in Kenya when he proposed.

Their announcement officially ends my infatuation to the most eligible bachelor.  I wish them well (no sour graping here).

Secrets to a Long Lasting Marriage

Photo from here.

I would like to quote this article from Psych Central about the secrets to marriage that stands the test of time.  I completely agree to what they said, here are those.

1. Commit to the commitment - Marriage is not just about signing a contract.  It is a decision to be made by two mature individuals.  They will commit to make the commitment last. 

2. Give it all you've got - With commitment comes a hundred percent effort in maintaining the relationship.  It is not about who gives much or who gives less.  It is about giving 100 percent.

3. Bring a whole person to the marriage - Marriage is composed of two whole individuals who nurture each other.

4. Make time for each other - I think most marriages fail on this 4th secret most of the time.  Make time for yourself and for our partner.  It is nice to catch up on each others' lives, listen to each others' stories and laugh with the silliest day's happenings.

5. Be a team - The moment you sign a contract, you are also submitting your name to what should be the greatest team on the planet.

6. Learn how to engage in friendly fighting - This is an inevitable facet of marriage.  You will argue about things because you have different points.  It is absolutely normal but be sure to focus on the current and do not dig up old issues.  Listen to one another and resolve the issue once and for all.  Once the issue has been settled, agree to never dig it up and use it against each other.

7. Don't sweat the small stuff - Marriages that lasted to decades agree to one thing--they don't dwell on the small stuff and make it larger than what it really is.  We all have flaws and acceptance of these flaws is one of the things you agreed upon the moment you agreed to marry the person.

8. Do sweat small stuff - On the other hand, you yourself should know these flaws and give effort to be a better person.  It doesn't mean that once he or she has accepted your flaws, you will not do anything about it anymore.

9. Follow the 'golden rule' - Do not do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.  It is that simple.  If you show love and devotion, it is love and devotion that you will get.  If you show indifference and distrust, it is indifference and distrust that you will get.

10. Be each other's greatest fan - Come on, who doesn't want to receive words of encouragement from one's partner?  We all want to feel the champion or number one in any one's life.

11. Make yourself appealing - Be beautiful inside and out.  Make efforts to be beautiful to the eyes of your partner to keep the fire burning.

12. Respect each other's families - You can't please every body but that doesn't mean you should lose respect from those people who doesn't care.  Just think of it this way, if it weren't for his or her family, your partner will never be born.

13. Make special days special - Remember the special days like your partner's birthday, your anniversary, your first date, the date you moved to a new house--all the dates that are important to both of you.  Reminisce those days, relive the moments and you'll find yourself falling in love with your partner all over again.
