Don't Take Her For Granted

She is perfect for you. She'll always be there for you to be your number one fan. She'll always be your source of inspiration and motivation, she'll always be the one that you can always call when you're feeling lonely. For the million lovely things that she had done for you, why are you taking her for granted?

Start treating her right and show her off. Always look at her like Flynn looks at Rapunzel. Hold her hand and kiss her in front of your friends. Be glad that you have her in your life because the littlest things you do mean to her a lot.

Love her with all your heart. Bury your heart to her and she will grow roses above it. She is different from all the girls you've met. You are lucky to have her because she controls you with her inner angel and tolerates your outer demons. You are lucky to hug her and kiss her every time you want. You have the secret to love, every time you hug her. Isn't it funny that the greatest secrets are hidden in unlikely places?

Treat her right. She is beautiful and angelic. A lot of guys want her and you should be aware of that. You have what they pray for at night: a diamond in the rough that you take for granted. It's time to love her with all your soul, it's time to treat her with love in the spaces that you have missed. Always make her feel loved, and you will never see her frown.

Imagine this: One day, you'll see her down the streets happy while holding another guy's hand. You'll see her treating him with the things she did to you before. She won't even notice you while you're staring at her because she's busy laughing with the jokes he makes. It will break your heart seeing her with him not because you aren't happy for her but because you were blind when she was happy with you. Seeing everything will make you realize that you are not the reason why she's happy anymore. And it will finally hit you like a truck that you need her more than she needs you; that it's her, it's always her.

Alive

Dear Reader, 

 I really can't understand on how people just wake up one morning and just decide to lose their feelings to their love ones. It's something that I really can't explain. They lead you on and from that moment you will feel attached. They are inspiration in everything. They will be a normal habit that you cannot just "ignore"  because they make you happy and you can never ignore happiness. They will make reasons like this and like that but the truth is that if you really like someone there are no "buts" and you'll risk it all. You will risk everything and you will take the fall. The outcome of that scenario will lead to two things: to be happy or to get hurt. 

If you risk it, you can be happy. It starts in the morning where you receive their texts. And somehow you don't need coffee for you to feel alive in the mornings. You'll just feel alive with one simple text message. You are inspired to breathe and survive a day because they are there for you. Maybe not physically but emotionally they are present in your heart and mind. They will be your inspiration in everything. When I say everything I mean everything you do because they will know a side of your life that you don't usually talk to other people. With that, they become a daily routine that you are really happy to do everyday. You are constantly thanking God for meeting them and praying for your blessings in life. Especially them. And they will never fail to amaze you with the things they do. And you are constantly charmed in everything they say. It's like everyday there is something new that makes you love them more than yesterday.

If you risk it, you can be sad.  They will still be a daily routine. It's like a get to know each other stage. With that you will feel happy. But for only a meanwhile. But when the rising action falls, you will feel alone. They will just get cold to you and you will be sad.  You will try your best to restore "what's normal" but it will never be normal again. You'll just want to be happy again. You will just want to wake up one morning not missing them. You will try to ignore that by doing other things like a hobby or your studies but in the night, you will over-think about scenarios if they miss you like you miss them or do they even think about you and feel the sadness that you are feeling. It will be hard to move on but you will learn.

Never be scared to take risks. Because that is life. It's all about taking risks, to choose paths and to learn. But  a wise tip: Never love them will all of your heart and body. Because when they get cold and leave you, you will feel lost. Like you don't know what do anymore in life.  But I am not encouraging you not to love because love is beautiful. It's the building foundation of everything nice and beautiful here on Earth. Just be cautious on who are trying to have your heart. But when they do capture your heart, they should never really stop trying everyday to make you feel that you are lucky and blessed that you are live.

Love,

El

Valentines Day

I am back. I don't really know why but I am inspired to write a blog about Valentines Day.... Well to help you guys, I'm gonna tell you the story of Valentines day. It was during the reign of the Roman Empire. Christianity was banned and Christians were tortured at that time. So sacraments of Christianity were highly illegal so if you get caught, you'll get tortured and you will die. So there was a guy named St. Valentine. He believed that the power of love can overcome anything so he then marries Christians secretly. Maybe in catacombs or in secret hideouts. So then he got caught and he became a martyr for believing in love and his faith. 

Now, people living today use Valentines as a way to show their love for their mate. They buy them flowers, they buy them big teddy bears and they buy them chocolates. They use one night to show them that they will love them unconditionally in one night. But here I am questioning all of the people who only use February 14 to actually show that they care. 


Bro, if you do love her, you won't just use one day to actually show to her that you care for her. Show to her that you will love her unconditionally and show to her that you care for her. You shouldn't just be a gentleman for one night, you should always be a gentleman whenever she's around. You know? Open doors for her, etc-etc. Show to her that she means to you more than she knows. Make little efforts from time to time, or surprise her. It's easy to say all of these things but it's hard to do. But if you really really like her, nothing can block your path.



If you're actually single this Valentines, don't worry. You'll get your chance soon. So just go with the flow. Here's my advice though, you don't have to be bitter that you don't have a date. Valentine's day isn't just about a girlfriend or a boyfriend. It's about love. You can share your love to your friends and family! So stop bitter tweeting about it and just show your love to your family and friends. 


I'm getting off topic but if you truly love someone, you wouldn't just use one day to prove it. You must love that person 365 days. One of everyday you did, you do and you will love that person. Because you must feel that whenever that person is around, it's always Valentines Day.

Legends (Ray-Ban Contest)

(I would like to thank you Tin Iglesias  for inspiring me to create this blog.)

This is my entry for the Ray-ban contest.

" I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was." -Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer and Manny Pacquiao. These people are examples of what we call legends. These athletes are inspiration to millions of people around the world. But what really makes a legend? 

One thing we all know is that being a legend is not easy because you don't get what you desire without doing anything; you get what you work for. It's a transformation that you will only see if you search within yourself the greatness that God gave you. You need to train every day, you will sacrifice a lot of things and you must be motivated to train. Being a legend isn't just a walk in park but one thing we all must know is that legends are influential. A legend must be influential that they must possess the power to inspire people. A legend must teach people that the pain you attain in training sessions is temporary but attaining greatness is forever. 

A legend must have desire to pursue a dream. Because with desire comes motivation that will lead to the determination to do it and then commitment will come to turn it into a habit that is a commitment to excellence. 

A legend must be fearless. They must not fear the bumps in the road that they will encounter in their journey. Failures are part of your training. Training in your never ending experience. Failing is not the end of your journey. It's your decision to stand up and keep on running because that is being a legend is all about and greatness will never wait for you. If there's a big mountain of problems in your journey, then climb it. Because the view is amazing."Fall down seven times, get up eight ".

And lastly, a legend must have character. Everyone must have character on what they are doing because everyone can be great but they must dare the inevitable. One thing YOU should always remember is that with will, you can conquer anything. Because the will you have beats the skill of your opponent. Your ability may help you achieve in being a legend but your character will be the one who will help you to stay at the top. Being a legend is for all of us. We must dare to achieve greatness. We must never listen to anyone who will try to bring us down and we must prove to them and show to them that we can do it. Because just like what Lewis Cass said "People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do." So always try and try and try and never give up because only the fearless can be great.

Dear Future Girlfriend

Dear Future Girlfriend,



Hello my name is EL and I don’t even know you or I don’t know what you look like or how you’ll act but there’s one that I know. And I know that I’ll always take care of you and I promise never to break your heart.

Whenever you have a homework or an assignment, I will always be there to help you with your homework and I promise never to leave you until you finish it. Even if I had a million reasons to leave, I would still look for one to stay.

If one day we fight, I’ll be the first one to say sorry because losing the argument is better than losing you. And I promise that you’ll be more important than pride.

I’ll promise to be proud of you. Whenever we walk I’ll always hold your hands to prove to the whole wide world that you are my girlfriend and you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

I’ll try in every possible way to make you happy and safe and will let you show that forever really doesn’t end.

I’ll dance with you even though there’s no music playing, and I’ll kiss you in the rain and I will show you that real life is better than the movies.

Explaining to you how much and why I love you would be as simple as counting the stars, it is impossible.

For now, I just have to wait because God is busy making my love story and all of the best love stories have one thing in common, you have to go against the odds to get there. You’re Nemo. And saying “You’re my Nemo” is a simple way of saying: “I’d search every inch of the world to find you.” But for now, I have to wait but I promise that I’ll find you.

You are the reason I look forward to waking up in the morning.
Love, El

Mistakes

Dear Reader,

I know it's hard to let go. You talk all day, everyday actually. You fall asleep on the phone together. You wake up with a smile in your face because of the morning texts that really lightens up your day. You think about then when you're asleep, you dream about them. You spend time with them in Skype dates or even in real dates that really makes you happy. Actually, you're happy whether it's just the internet or in real life. They soon become a part of you. They soon become a habit everyday that makes you happy and you get used to it. Then all of a sudden, they leave. And permanently, they're gone in your life. Just like that. That means no more late night phone calls, no more Skype dates, no more cute messages when you're in a bad mood (actually no texts at all) or if they text you will feel no emotion. The first few days you just want to really really really texts them the 3 words that everyone wants to hear: "I miss you" in every way. You will want to tweet them, message them on Facebook, call them and especially text them really do everything to restore what's "normal" between you two. But as much as you want to try and to restore it, things don't change.  The hardest part is to let go. You always check your phone and every time it rings or vibrates your heart hopefully wants them to text, you check their Twitter or Facebook accounts if they're talking about you on how they "miss you" or if they have someone new. This person that was once your everything is now just a memory. A painful memory that just replay and replay in your head. You spend nights reminiscing everything that you guys did. The sweet texts, the romantic morning and evening texts, the Skype dates, the shared laughs, the hugs and especially the kisses, all the good things that went on during the time when you two were together. You will spend days, weeks or even months or maybe years. Remember that this was just a fragment of time, a memory that will someday fade and I think that the only reason people hold onto memories so tight is because memories are the only things that don't change; when everybody else does. Your friends, family and God may help but the only thing that can heal a broken heart is time.

But in order to move on and get over it, you have to be able to tell yourself that they're not worth it, and you deserve better, and you'll find someone new. The best feeling comes when you realize you’re perfectly happy without the people you thought you needed the most. It's because hardly, you can't live in the past because life doesn't work that way, life is meant to be traveled forward not backward.  Yes the memories hurt but the memories makes you strong everyday. It's their fault because they missed out on true love. I hope that this is a lesson for them to realize that everyone makes mistakes but their biggest one is losing you.

Love,
El

Lucky

Dear Reader,


I must find that person who will make me a better man. A girl who will defy all odds. A girl who will someday will walk into your life and make me realize why it never worked out with anyone else. A girl who will be the reason why I look forward to waking up in the morning.

The person I will love will be the luckiest girl in the world. I will dance with her even though there’s no music around. The person I will love will be happy and safe and I will make sure of it. and I will show her that a “happy ending” is not true because true love is never ending. I will make sure that my love for the person I will love will stand any problems that we might encounter in the future. I will never stop believing in the person I will love and I will make you sure that she’ll fall in love with me every single day. I will make sure that i’m the one who will constantly remind you of how much she cares and how lucky I am to have her… And I promise to show the person I will love to my friends and say,“that’s her.” I will be always proud to the person I will love. Whenever we’ll walk, I’ll always hold her hand and always show to the world that she’s the most beautiful girl in the world.

Having a lot of girls is not something to be proud of. Keeping one is. And I believe that the person I will love is perfect. The person I will love is cute. The person I will love is adorable. And maybe… Just maybe… The Person I will love is currently reading this.

Love,
El

Dear Reader,

I think I saw the most beautiful woman for this year. I cannot say that I saw the most beautiful woman in my whole life because that would be my "future wife" and I haven't met her yet.  I can't add details about her because this diary/blog is a public blog.But I'll just describe her to you.

What makes her beautiful is she doesn't know how beautiful she is to me. She is fearless. She is divine and she is funniest girl I've ever met this year. She has the eyes that will capture your heart, she has the lips that would enrapture your whole body. She is type of person that you won't add any malice because when you see her, you just want to cuddle her. They say that if a boy met a special girl his "greenyness" or "hormones" will change, it's true. Because at some point you will see that a boy can change everything for a girl because if she is happy, then he is happy. Simple as that. Oh wait back to my topic. She will intoxicate you with her perfume that will live in your nose when you're close to her. She is nearly perfect in my eyes and I hope she's not reading this because it would be embarrassing and funny. I hope one day I will see her again because the time is really not cooperating when you're having fun. I don't have a crush on her or any thing but I'm just here to describe her. And I think she is perfect, she is smart, she is fearless, she will never give up on you and you know what? I think she is reading this.

Love,
El

Dear Reader,

All people wants to leave a legacy here on Earth. Like me, I am Muay Thai player. Muay Thai is kickboxing. It was developed in Thailand and it's MMA  (for your information) and I want to leave something before I leave the world. Like I don't know maybe a Olympic medal and represent the Philippines in the Olympics or maybe a spot in the hall of fame and the grand kids of my kids will say "That is my grandfather." The thing is in order for you to achieve something you must sacrifice one thing. Which is hard. But the will of me achieving something great overcame the power of what I want. So I will sacrifice my social life for just 1 month and I will eat only vegetables and water which doesn't have taste in it. So it means that I won't eat any delicious food like Mcdonalds or even pastas or pork. Now I don't really care because I know that God wants me to be someone and I know that with Him, I am fearless. Fearless in a way that I can conquer any problems that I will encounter. One month of sacrifice is a lifetime worth of achievements for me and I really want to be "someone".

If you want something, go get it. And if it doesn't knock in your door then knock on its door. You know, you just don't know if you're be someone... But everyone can be someone in their own special way. If you find that "something" that you really want to do... Then never let it go. Never miss a chance to get it while its hot because maybe just maybe... the juice is worth the squeeze.


Love,
El

Find A Guy

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who will love you with your imperfections, who will give you love letters, who already know your favorites without you telling, who will be making memories with you, who will sing for you even though he can’t sing, who will make you laugh, who will love you just the way you are, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep… wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in track pants, who wants to slow dance without even though there’s no music playing, who truly loves his you that he doesn't need to unbutton your shirt just to get a better view of you heart, who will take your breath away, who will make you feel worth it, who wants you to be his last love, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who will do anything to be with you, who will be your inspiration on become a better woman, who will stand by and fight for you no matter what, who will enjoy the little things with you who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup on, who will buy you flowers. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you… The one who turns to his friends and says, “that's her”….
A real man doesn't love a bazillion of girls but he loves one girl in a bazillion ways. Every guy has a weakness and every man is afraid of something. That’s how you know he’s in love with you; when he is afraid of losing you. Because that is love. If two people are meant for each other, it doesn't mean they have to be together right now but they will eventually. You will find him someday and he will find you just remember that love will always find a way.

As Fast As She Can

What Romeo and Juliet have, what Miho and Dae Woong have, and what Jacob and Bella have, I want that. But now I have to face the facts that God is still busy making my love story. As I wonder from afar I started to think of the future. Is she coming? That’s a intriguing question that for now, I don’t have the answer. I am still hoping that she’ll come into my life as a beautiful and a complicated woman who will inhabit my soul. But for the meantime, I will stay as a hopeless romantic and blog about the future and how will I treat her. But I will be waiting for an opportunity to love again because love always makes a man better, no matter what woman inspires it. If she comes into my life I will show her that my love for her is like sand, uncountable. like the ocean, immeasurable, Like the heavens, never ending. I’m still hoping that she is coming as fast as she can… I don’t have any proof but I have faith.

Measurements

If permitted I want to grow old with you.


If we live to be 70 to 80 years old, I’ll take care of you. I’ll show you that even if we’re old you’ll still experience a happily ever after. And I promise to buy bouquet of flowers for random occasions just to show you how much I love you. I promise you that you’ll still have butterflies in your stomach and I promise to put you to bed if you fall asleep watching our grand children playing and I will kiss you in the forehead just to show you that even if you’re sleeping, I’ll always keep my promise that I will love you.
Even if we’re old, I’ll cuddle with you, I’ll take you on dates and I will still make you love letters and tease you. I will show to the world that we’re not old to be in love because love has no boundaries, it has no age and it has no limitations.
And if you’re sick, I’ll always be there. I’ll feed you, I’ll make sure that your tummy won’t have a tummy ache, I promise you that I’ll fulfill my promise that I’ll always be with you in sickness and in health.
And when the time comes and you are gone even though we are far apart, I’ll still love you dearly with all my heart because my vow of “Till death do us part” Can’t measure my love for you because my love for you is bigger than forever. And if they’ll ask me what I loved most about my life, I will smile and I will say you. Because the only way to see a rainbow is to look through the rain. This is not a goodbye but a “see you soon”. Then if we see each other again, I will love you all over again.

Finding Prince Charming

How long a girl does need to wait in order to find her Prince Charming? Maybe you saw him walking down the road one day but you’re too busy playing Temple Run. Or maybe you ran in to him at the elevator but you’re too busy tweeting on your phone. Or maybe you are seated beside him on an LRT or MRT ride but you’re too ignorant because you’re holding your bag tight in case of snatchers. There are lucky girls who have met their Prince Charming and there are girls who are still on their Dragon’s Keep waiting for their Prince to rescue them… But the most bitter of them all is that you can’t see your Prince Charming because you are looking at someone else’s Prince. As you can see, waiting for a wrong Prince can give your life despair. But If you were happy with the wrong one, just think how happy you will be when the right one comes because that is life, you need experience to be a better person but when you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you. You see the worst part of life is waiting. The best part of life is having someone worth waiting for. And your Prince Charming is worth waiting for, my darling Princess. And one day I hope that you’ll be a Queen and he will be your King. And I hope one day your Prince Charming will say this “You know, I always thought I’d rescued you from the Dragon’s Keep. But it wasn’t you who I rescued, but it was you who rescued me.”
