Quotable Quotes

“Dumbledore was the one who stuck up for me after Dad went. Got me the gamekeeper job... trusts people, he does. Gives 'em second chances ...tha's what sets him apar' from other heads, see. He'll accept anyone at Hogwarts, s'long as they've got the talent. Knows people can turn out okay even if their families weren' ...well... all tha' respectable. But some don understand that. There's some who'd always hold it against yeh... there's some who'd even pretend they just had big bones rather than stand up an' say—I am what I am, an' I'm not ashamed. 'Never be ashamed,' my ol' dad used ter say, 'there's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth botherin' with. ' An' he was right. I've bin an idiot. I'm not botherin' with her no more, I promise yeh that. Big bones... I'll give her big bones.”


Rubeus Hagrid (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

Wouldn't it be nice

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through?

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it
might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we
couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice?

Today is...

Today's my Rosee's birthday!!!

For she's a jolly good fellow!
For she's a jolly good fellow!
For she's a jolly good fellow!
Nobody can deny!
Nobody can deny!

Happy Birthday!!! You are loved forever and ever!!!

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around.
You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.
You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.
They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.
Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.
There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.
You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.
The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant.
Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all.
A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face.
In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby.
Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.
You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.
You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.
You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you.
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.
Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

For The One I Love

I love you.
Not just for who you are,
but for who I am when I'm with you.
I love you.
Not for what you've done with your life,
but for what you're doing to mine.
I love you for making me good
...and happy.
And whole.
Because that is what you do.
Without a word.
Without a gesture.
Without a doubt.
Just by being yourself.
Such a simple thing,
but no one else in the world could do it.
Only you.

The day I decided to quit

Smoking. This habit has been with me since I started college 7 years ago. I've wasted a lot of money and my precious lungs on scags over the years. Had I not tried this vice, I could still have the lungs of a swimmer and I could have owned a nice car with all the money that I threw away.

My very first brand was an Indonesian cigarette. Gudang Garam. Ahhh, the sweetness of the filter, the smell of the cloves burning, the crackling sound of the clove seeds burning. That brand got me hooked to this nasty habit. Smoking Gudang Garam, though, is very expensive. A pack costs thrice the regular brand. I was one of the cool guys back in colllege because I smoked an expensive brand.

After Gudang Garam was Marlboro Lights Menthol courtesy of a lot of my college friends. I realized that I have been spending too much on the expensive brand and always ending up empty pocketed. So I tried local brands and I began to like Marlboro Menthol. Besides, a lot of students smoke that brand, so why not join the "brand" wagon? I have smoked Menthol for a few years until I started working.

The yuppies that I have been when I started working didn't smoke Menthol. They preferred Marlboro Lights Gold. Being the "in" guy that I always was, I shifted to yet another brand. I differentiated work from college by the brands that I smoked. Menthol for college, Gold after college.

I have always been reminded about the dangers of smoking. Ross, my girlfriend always reminds me that I should stop this habit as I have a heart disease and smoking worsens my heart's condition. I have always put on a deaf ear on all these warnings in the past, but today I have decided that if I still wanted to grow old and enjoy a ripe old age with my future family, I have decided to quit this once and for all. This is the first time I have quit on something that people have had a hard time giving up and I feel good.

'Twas the most beautiful night of my life.

Stars filled the heavens.
The smell of jasmines haunt the cool Sunday air.
You and I dancing on that empty street.
Our laughter was our only music.

Remember that night?

The yellow hibiscus that I gave you.
The look in your eyes.
The words you said.
The love I felt.

The night that my soul rejoiced.

'Twas the night that made me want to be a better man.
The night that made me decide to leave my immaturity behind.
I loved that night.
The night that made me believe in love again.

Because that was the night when you gave your love to me.

INK

This one is for the most important girl in my life.

I am glad you came into my life. God has given me a lot of temporary ones so I would realize how beautiful it is to have the real one. The one that I would cherish; the one that I would care for; the one that I would treasure forever.

It is you who I would want to share all my ambitions with. It is you who I would want to go home to at the end of each day. It is you who I would want to spend the remaining years of my life with, because it is you who gave me the reason to believe and have faith in myself again. Because it is you who showed me how to love without asking for anything in return. You taught me how to smile and to dream and to sing and to breathe again...

I never thought a love like this would never happen to me. I never thought I would ever be accepted by anyone else. You did all those to me. Truly, you are God's most beautiful gift to me.

Everyday, before I lay myself to sleep, I silently thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful person who would always be there no matter what. I thank Him for showing me the way to your heart. Above all else, I am thanking Him for blessing me with a love that is as beautiful as yours...

On Forgiveness...

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without
saying anything, wrote in the sand:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
