Story of Regret

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear. He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.

Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girlfriends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Still, every Christmas, she returned, hoping to re-kindle some form of romance. But each time, she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed.

Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. Therefore, she confronted him and professed that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. Although the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still taken back and have never expected her to react that way. He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them. Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered why he rejected her in the first place-she was not the one he wanted. So he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly. Since then, three years have passed and the girl never return anymore. They never even wrote to each other. The guy went on with his life..... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him, he missed the girl.

On the Christmas of 1995, he went to his friend's party alone. "Hey, how come all alone this year? Where are all your girlfriends? What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?", asked one of his friend. He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries about her, still he just surged on.
Then, he came upon one of his many girlfriends whom he once requested to pose as his steady. He wanted so much to ignore her ..... not that he was impolite, but because at that moment, he just didn't feel comfortable with those girlfriends anymore. It was almost like he was being judged by them. The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him. Unable to avoid her, he went up to acknowledge her.

"Hi......how are you? Enjoying the party?" the girl asked.

"Sure.....yeah!", he replied.
She was slightly tipsy..... must be from the whiskey on her hand. She continued,
"Why...? Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered, "No, there is no need for that anymore......"
Before he can continue, he was interrupted, "Oh yes! Must have found a girlfriend! You haven't been searching for one for the past years, right?" The man looked up, as if he has struck gold, his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl. He replied, "Yes......you are right! I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years."
With that, the man darted across the floor and out the door, leaving the lady in much bewilderment. He finally realized that he has already found his dream girl, and she was.....the Vancouver girl all along! The drunken lady has said something that awoken him.

All along he has found his girl. That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back. It was not any specific girl he was seeking! It was perfection that he wanted, and yes.....perfection!!
Relationship is something both parties should work on. Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life, he decided to call her immediately. His whole mind was flooded with fear. He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore..... For once, he felt the fear of losing someone.

As it was Christmas eve, the line was quite hard to get through, especially an overseas call. He tried again and again, never giving up. Finally, he got through......precisely at 1200 midnight. He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears. It seemed that she never got over him! Even after so long, she was still waiting for him, never giving up.

He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives. He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her. It was the happiest time of their lives! But their happy time was short-lived. Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver, he received a call from her father. She had a head-on car collision with a drunken driver. She passed away after 6 hours in a coma.
The guy was devastated, as it was a complete loss. Why did fate played such cruel games with him? He cursed the heaven for taking her away from him, denying even one last look at her! How cruel he cursed! How he damned the Gods...!! How he hated himself....for taking so long to realize his mistake!! That was in 1996.

The moral of this story is :
Treasure what you have...
Time is too slow for those who wait;
Too swift for those who fear;
Too long for those who grief;
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love...
Time is Eternity.

For all you out there with someone special in your heart, cherish that person, cherish every moment that you spend together that special someone, for in life, anything can happen anytime. You may painfully regret, only to realise that it is too late.

Let the Pain Remain

THE YEARS OF THE TIGER

THE YEARS OF THE TIGER(1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022)

The Metal Tiger year starts on February 14, 2010. For western world types, the date is doubly significant because it falls on Saint Valentine's Day. Music Maestro Please! Drum rolls and festivities for everyone and of course extra loving for lovers everywhere.

Tiger years are notoriously turbulent. Political unrest, coups d'états, and natural catastrophes often strike during these action-packed years. So... if you were born under an active, energetic and even slightly rebellious New Astrology sign, you will be drop-dead-in love with this coming year's rambunctiousness. If, on the other hand, you prefer quietude, security and serenity, 2010 might not star as the most tranquil year of your life.

If you love movement and surprises, you will be in your element. But if you are someone who loves deep, quiet forest silence and solitude, in the Metal Tiger year, you may feel like crawling back under the covers and waiting out the tumult.

During a Tiger year, nobody should leap before he examines any forthcoming venture or adventure. The Tiger, though noble and honorable, endows a year with uncertainty and danger. Tigers never know where they might place their next paw. In Tiger years it is incumbent upon the rest of us to face head-on collisions with our own reversals. When we least expect calamity, it surges out of nowhere. Same goes for extreme pleasure and breath taking thrills. Much willpower and wisdom is required of us during these testy times. Get ready for the roller coaster ride of your life. Luckily, on February 2 of 2011, the ride will be over. Cat/Rabbit will be tiptoeing in to set things to rights in his or her own quiet way - and with dignity.

2010 will be a volatile year, engendering clashes and disputes in every part of the world - and even in families and love matches. This year will start with a bang. In the first half, everything will seem to be expanding, then exploding. But the year slowly winds down toward December and will end more serenely than it began. But hold on to your hats because 2010 is earmarked for sudden skirmishes, disagreements, disasters, ecstasies and gratifications of all stripes. Tigers, after all, are excessive.

2010 will also be a year for temerity about daring to change, for erasing the past and starting over. Nothing small or measly will happen. Think large scale everything. The Tiger also infuses the atmosphere with his courage and pluck. In 2010, we won't always feel safe. But we will often be excited and exhilarated. This will be a year for extremes in both misery and joy. Fortunes can be made and oh so quickly be gone up in smoke. The tendency is for dramatic upheaval. You leave your spouse and immediately get married to a lover with whom you almost know at the start that you can never find long term harmony. You sell your home and decide to move into a condo and right away feel cramped and nostalgic for your big sprawling house. Or you may change jobs midstream, just dash away from a sweetheart, move to a new city or country. Tiger years are about startups, new beginnings and espousing change. That is what make them so dashing and exciting to certain members of the New Astrology roster. And so absolutely shiveringly frightening to others.

In 2010, people get up to astonishing deeds on the spur of the moment. They suddenly take off on an expedition to the South Pole or they decide to move the whole family to Australia from Manitoba or Bedlam, Idaho. In this year, Transition is favored. If you have been dreaming of becoming a ballet dancer after years of digging in a mine, now's the time. Pick up and change your life. Or else you'll have to accept to be cowering in a corner with your teeth chattering as you watch the whirlwinds go by.

Heads of state and heads of household alike may allow their tempers to rage. Diplomacy seems to be a thing of the past. Likewise, secrets will be outed in the wink of an eye, unusual health problems will arise out of nowhere and your friends may go AWOL without so much as a whisper of a why. We will all feel abandoned at one time or another during this Tiger year, because the nature of the tawny beast is to turn tail and decide to change his stripes at a moment's notice. Where? What? Huh? We will all do a lot of head shaking and wondering what the hell just happened. No logic or reasoning can figure it out. So stop trying the very first day of the year and instead (because it's Valentine's Day) take your sweetie out for a super candlelight dinner and gear up for a full year of feisty turbulence - white knuckles and all.

Relationships, contracts and agreements requiring mutual confidence and collaboration may prove unsound and leave us gasping. This is often a difficult time and shakes us up. But the flip side is that it leaves us with a chance to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off and start all over again. This Tiger year will offer us all the courage we need to face adversity and wriggle out of tight spots.

Tigers are vigorous people who know how to carry heavy emotional weight and brave sticky legal situations. They willingly (and sometimes thoughtlessly) pounce on lost causes, sinking ventures and failing businesses. To this year, the Tiger brings derring-do and impulsive fearlessness. You may meet with some major obstacles. Don't panic. The Tiger is not vengeful. He doesn't hold a grudge. But he does expect you to overcome those obstacles and return to the fray wearing atriumphant smile on your formerly disappointed face.

The Tiger's impulsive spirit will no doubt touch everyone's life. If ever you were planning to pull off some chancy caper or make an uncharacteristic flash decision, go for it. The Tiger will be on your side.

If you are a Pisces/Goat, a Libra/Cat/Rabbit or another of the "softer" New Astrology™ signs , you may be shaking in your boots. Relax. The Tiger is an effusive character who, despite his penchant for quarrel and collision, is a veritable warehouse of merriment and a fund of dazzlingly novel ideas to amuse and delight you. If you like inventive, cheerful, intense and edgy people (and who doesn't?), you can look forward to a rollicking 2010.

Here Without You

life and love quotes

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharal Nehru

Life is like the dice that, falling, still show a different face. So life, though it remains the same, is always presenting different aspects.
Alexis

To live is like to love--all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Samuel Butler

One life - a little gleam of time between two eternities.
Thomas Carlyle

Life is a pure flame,
and we live by an invisible sun within us.
Sir Thomas Brown

As I grow to understand life less and less,
I learn to love it more and more.
Jules Renard

Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you,
but trusting them not to

I wish I could be your tear drops,
for what more could anyone ask
for then to be conceived in your heart,
born in your eyes, live on your
cheeks, and die on your lips

Because the distance between us is so great,
my arms cannot reach you,
but because my love for you is just as great,
my heart does

You know it is love when
you want to share everything with her, even her pain.
You know it is love when
you can't stop thinking about her.
You know it is love when
you'd rather be in a relationship
but apart than not in a relationship at all.
But, most of all, you know it is love when
your happiness is dependant upon hers.
At least that's how I know.

Long distance relationships are like wind to a fire;
it puts out the small ones,
but inflames the big ones

Love is like a tattoo.
You take the risk, face the pain and yet place it in a special part of you.
When the time comes to erase it, you have to endure the pain again.
You'll realize that it will leave you scarred forever.
It will always be around to remind you that you once had something for sometime which is so special..

If I had a dream that could come true,
it would be the one with me and you.
The one where you stood right by my side
and we talked and talked until mornings tide.
You told me you loved me and that you cared,
but when I awoke you weren't there.
So I tried to find a way to your heart,
because cupid's arrow hit my heart.
Though for now we are just friends,
sometimes time makes relationships bend.

Giving up doesnt mean your letting go,
It means you've decided to accept it wasnt meant to be.

Are you realistic or idealistic?

Idealism is the philosophical theory that maintains that the ultimate nature of reality is based on mind or ideas. In the philosophy of perfection, idealism is contrasted with realism in which the external world is said to have a so-called absolute existence prior to, and independent of, knowledge and consciousness. Epistemological idealists (such as Kant), it is claimed, might insist that the only things which can be directly known for certain are just ideas (abstraction).

Realism comes from the word "Real". Let's say the things you see in "everyday life". You don't need a proof to believe a bee stings or a dog barks. Realism is, in the broadest sense, simply fidelity to actuality in its representation in literature... In order to give it more precise definition, however, one needs to limit it to the movement which arose in the nineteenth century, at least partially in reaction against Romanticism, which was centered in the novel, and which was dominant in France, England, and America from roughly mid-century to the closing decade, when it was replaced by Naturalism. In this latter scene, realism defines a literary method, a philosophical and political attitude, and a particular kind of subject matter. Realist authors especially write about history, politics or biografies.


That's definition comes from wikipedia and yahoo answers..

Idealism (idealistic) or Realism (realistic)

For me, both....I've been idealistic and realistic..and now, i want to be both..

i love you...goodbye...

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back..
Some people are just not meant in your life,
No matter how much you want them to be..

You hug him goodbye like its nothing..
While all you want to do is hold on forever.

I used to smile when I told people,..that you were MINE..
But now, I can’t even smile and say your name at the same time…
As much as I Love You, I have to say goodbye…
Coz I know you would be happier if I let you go..
Im sorry if I made you cry..
Im sorry if tears fell from your eyes…
But remember, for every tear that fell from your eyes,..
Two fell from mine…

Missing you isn’t the hardest part..
Knowing I once had you, is what breaks my heart..
I’ll never forget the times that we once shared..
And I’ll always remember how much you once cared…
Now it’s over, its time to move on..

Its never easy to see you turning back..
But, I have to take the pain..
And cry all the way home coz I know it will never be the same again..
I know when you leave, distance will keep us apart..
But distance no matter how far, can’t change this feelings in my heart..

Just turn your head when you see me,..I will understand..
One day, I will be able to look you in the eye..
Without feeling the pain, I’ve caused you..
I hope in time, you will be happy as you call my name, once again..

Happiness is too far for us now..
But even if its near, I know it will be hard for us to get there..
Baby, its never gonna work out,…
I Love You…..Goodbye….

memories are the only thing that don't change

One reason why people get sentimental…
It’s because, memories are the only thing that don’t change,
When everything else does…
There are things in life that you cant hold on forever,
no matter how much you fight for it
Sometimes, destiny isn’t always good, it becomes playful.
When you met someone you learned to love,
You thought it was destiny that made your paths cross.
But what if making your paths cross is just part of a game that the playful destiny create?
Making you realize at the end that the person you though
That was destined for you wasn’t really meant to stay….
But only destined to make you feel love and leave you when you’re already fallen.

Its not easy to state a reason when you decide to leave your love.
Some might think it was just an excuse,..
Some might not actually believe..
Some will blame you..
Some might even be mad at you..
What they don’t see is the fact that…
It hurts you even more to hurt someone who doesn’t deserve to be hurt…
Especially when you cant state the reason why you have to leave.

You can never own something that was never yours…
So let’s stop gripping on things we expect to last forever..
Nothing last forever..
Forever is a lie.
Forever is transitory.
So while you have something in your hand,
Put in mind that it’s just borrowed..
So someday when its gone,.
It wont take you eternity just to let it go..

When your feeling got stronger for someone,
Its always wise to stop for awhile and give your heart… a time to Breathe..
A time to use your mind to weigh the situation based on reason not on emotion…
Because the saddest thing that can happen,
Is when someone fall in love while the other wants nothing more that friendship..

Love can sometimes be magic
But magic can sometimes be an illusion..
There are times I wish that I was limited to certain emotions..
So I’ll never have to experience pain,
Never feel betrayed or disappointed, and never get my fragile heart broken…
But the same thing that I’ll never know how it feels to love and be loved in return..
The thought of it kind of scares me..
To have a heart that whole but numb..
Or a heart that’s broken but real…
Someday, we’ll all be looking back to those days we learned to love, get hurt, cry and fight..
Maybe when that time comes,
We’ll be all laughing in our old-dumb selves..
Realizing how stupid we were to stand up for things we knew weren’t really meant for us..
But I guess learning takes time, and mistakes make one’s journey fun…
Life is what we make it.
Love makes the world go round..
So lets live, love, and take whatever pain it brings..
Though its hard to wait for something that I will know will never happen..
Its harder to stop when I know its everything I’ve always wanted..

Warning Signs That He's Not Over His Ex

You're smitten with your new boyfriend, and he's almost perfect in your eyes -- there's just one minor problem. You have a hunch that he may not be over his ex. Sometimes you wonder if it's all in your head, but other times you suspect that there may be a method to your madness. Instead of pushing your thoughts aside for a rainy day, pay some closer attention to his actions in order to find out whether or not your suspicions have any validation. Here are some tell-tale signs that your beau is still pining for his ex -- meaning, you'd be doing yourself a favor to call it quits or confront him before you find yourself in a serious dating dilemma.

If he...

1. Constantly brings her up in conversation
This is obvious sign #1. If he's talking about her all the time, then clearly he still has feelings for the girl. Even if he speaks about her in a negative way, the fact of the matter is that the thought of her is still fresh in his mind.

2. Compares her to you
If your new boyfriend starts to compare you to his ex, this is a sign that he may not be over her just yet. At first, you may be able to shrug this off with little to no problem, but after a while (if it continues) it'll be annoying to hear time and time again -- not to mention, it's just not fair to you. Take this as a sign that he has unresolved feelings for his ex and get out.


3. Continues to hang out with her
Your beau insists on hanging out with his ex -- frequently. You put up with it because you don't want to be that girlfriend who creates annoying rules and restrictions for her man, but if you let him walk all over you, you'll be doing yourself and the relationship a major disservice. Don't be a pushover; stand up for yourself and voice your opinion if you find it inappropriate for him to constantly spend time with her when he has you too. If he gets defensive about the situation, then he's just not over his ex. Period.

4. Routinely calls her
Calling his ex routinely is not as bad as hanging out with her frequently, but usually, one leads to the other -- and besides, what could these two possibly have to talk about? Again, call him out on it and find out what the deal is before they start having "strictly platonic" sleepovers.

5. Accidentally calls you by her name...
This one is definitely never a good sign, but we'll give him one get-out-of-jail-free card if the relationship is still new and he's fresh out of a breakup. BUT, if this happens more than once and he doesn't profusely apologize for his mistake, don't let him off the hook so easily. That sting you feel when he mistakes your name for hers is not acceptable and you might want to rethink the relationship.


6. Holds onto memorabilia from his past relationship
As you get more comfortable in your new relationship, you start to rummage through his apartment only to find little trinkets and gifts from his ex. When you ask him about it and he retorts back with something along the lines of "Oh, I just can't get rid of that, it kind of holds sentimental value..." then a little red flag should immediately pop into your head. If, however, your guy is the extra sensitive type and he hasn't committed any of the aforementioned sins, you may still be in the clear.

7. Listens to morbid breakup music...
If your guy insists on listening to morbid music that suggests breaking up anywhere in the lyrics, then it might be a subtle sign that he's still clinging on to his past relationship -- either that, or he's just plain depressed. Maybe you even caught him playing "their song" on repeat one day in his room. Trust us, this is never a good sign.

8. Brings you to places that remind him of her...
If you thought that place by the tree in the park with the heart engraved on it was your special new spot, think again. Ask him why he constantly takes you to the same specific places. If he's repeating locations that he and his ex used to frequent, he may be taking you there because it brings back fond memories -- that don't involve you.

9. He's annoyed that she's dating someone...
Your boy announces that his ex is in a new relationship and expresses his discontent and disgust at the thought of the idea. Well, news flash! He's in a new relationship too -- and it's with you -- so he should have no reason to fret. Remind him of this important detail, but not before you take note of this definite red flag.

10. He keeps pictures of her...
Lastly, to top off all of his other unacceptable behavior, you discover that for some unknown reason, he still keeps pictures of his ex. It doesn't matter if they are hidden in his wallet, or out in the open, or even still plastered all over his Facebook page -- this will only make you feel uncomfortable and will provide a constant reminder of her presence. This is by far one of the most unnecessary things a guy can do. Either he's completely oblivious to the fact that he still has images of her lying around (we doubt this) or he's still infatuated with her. We suggest you start planning your escape -- and if naked pictures surface on his phone, exit immediately.
