The other day, I stayed at the hotel room with my friend from Canada. We have not seen each other in years and we really need to update ourselves with what’s going on with our lives. We spend the whole day laughing, reminiscing the good old days and it was really fun. I was truly impressed with the tv lifts she has in her room, with just a touch of a button a sleek plasma TV appears and disappears swiftly at the foot of her bed. We both agreed we’d love that for ourselves. It was a fine day to be with a good friend and it’s just sad that she has to leave right away but we both know that even distance can’t keep us from being close.

Let Me Be
by: Emmyrose

Each night I would go out and gaze in the sky
Wondering if you ever think of me the same way
Underneath the moonlight, I breathed a prayer
Wishing that your heart yearned to love me too

I love you, can’t you see?
I tried to deny it, to suppress it
I tried to ignore it
For I know this is all wrong, but I just couldn’t

This is love sneaks up on me
Hurting me… capturing my whole being
A certain emotion I can no longer hide
I have to let it out, I have to make my love known

Let me be a part of the life you wanted to live
Let me be the gift you wanted to give
Let me be the music you long to hear
Let me be the sound that brings you tears

Let me be the air you need to breathe
Let me be the light when you are underneath
Let me be the goal you have to finish
Let me be the hope inside your little wish

Let me be the teardrop each time you would cry
Let me be the truth suspended in a lie
Give me a chance to be with you
Don’t turn away from me, for I am not going anywhere

I’ll be here if ever you need me
I am here to love you
To be the one you’ve always wanted
All you have to do is open your heart

Let me be the rain that washed your aches away
Let me be the sun to shine in a brand new day
And let me be the love that you’ve always dreamed of
For you are the love kept inside my heart….

“How sweet it is to be loved by you” I’ve been hearing this song in my head over and over again and I just can’t stop smiling. Is it a wonder how love can turn your world around?

I have always been a hopeless romantic but after a series of broken heart and broken dreams, I became cynical about love and probably bitter about being romantic. For sometime, I tried to keep my distance towards love and have tried everything to stay away from it. I just feel that with everything that’s going on with my life, the last thing I need is to complicate it with love. But love truly moves in mysterious ways and you can’t hide from love forever because once it finds you, there’s nothing else you can do but surrender to it.

My friends and I were talking about getting back on your feet and surviving after a break up and I really don’t have a clever advice on it but somehow you’ll just get through it and learn to cope up, eventually. Love is something I can never really comprehend but all I know is that it makes you feel good about yourself and happy, it can make you do the unexpected like write a romantic note for the one you love or simply make you feel alive with just a bouquet of roses. Love is indeed mysterious and I really need to get in touch with my hopeless romantic nature again and start embracing love again, with the help of eHarmony
I will surely get romantic ideas to be able to experience the beauty of love once again.

It's a rainy day once again but don't worry I am not gloomy at all. I am actually looking forward for a date tonight... yeah, you read it right, I am back in the dating game. My best friend after being so persuasive as she is fixed me up with her hubby's high school friend and tonight, I'll be meeting him for a date. I am a bit nervous, I've never done this in quite awhile and I have no idea on what's gonna happen. But what the heck, I worry too much...

I think something's going on here in Makati, they say there's another military stand off and soldiers and some civilians are marching along Ayala calling for GMA to step down (gudluck na lang sa inyo, kapit tuko 'yan kaya malamang hindi baba yan'). Well, I'm not sure really of what's going on but just to be safe I'll be having lunch here in the office and won't leave until my date arrives early tonight.

Have a wonderful rainy day and it's gonna be another long weekend for us here in the Philippines ^-^

I enjoy shopping at Amazon.com especially on books. There are a lot of hard to find books some of them even rare that I can’t normally find in our local bookstore. For a book lover and collector like me, Amazon is really a haven and I just love it. I also would love to get some Amazon promotional codes & coupons so that I’ll be able to save on my purchase. Discount Amazon gift certificates are also a great present to give out this holiday season, this will give your loved ones or your special someone a chance to buy what they want and still spend less. Amazon is also a great place to shop for DvDs, magazines, sporting goods, groceries, toys, baby items and everything else… it almost have everything you need and you can even sell your items that you don’t have any use anymore. We all love discounts and great bargains, with almost everyone experiencing a financial drought it would really help a lot to save more on your shopping. You might think that it’s not practical to splurge on shopping for gifts this holiday season because money is quite tight but always put in mind that Christmas is a time for giving and it’s a time to share our blessings and show our love and appreciation to the ones who matters to us most. And maybe you can get a secret Amazon discounts to help you save more on your shopping.

I have been taking steroids for the past six years and it is the reason why I have gained so much weight. There was a time that I hate looking at myself in the mirror because I feel so ugly because of all those fat and I hate shopping for clothes because nothing seems to fit me. For a time, it really caused depression on my part and I even result into taking diet pills just to lose some weight. But later on I have learned to accept that beauty comes in all sizes and I don’t have to feel bad because I am fat, slowly I am learning to deal with it.

13 Inspired Quotes from Sex and the City

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep
him away. If he doesn't want
you, nothing can make him stay.

2. Stop making excuses for a man and his
behavior.

3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind
about a man's character, leave
him alone.

4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save
you from heartache.

5. Stop trying to change yourself for a
relationship that's not meant to
be.

6. Don't force an attraction.

7. Never live your life for a man before you
find what makes you truly
happy.

8. Don't settle.

9. Don't stay because you think "it will
get better." You'll be mad at
yourself a year later for staying when
things are not better.

10. Don't fall for the "I'm confused role".
Remove yourself from the
situation to let him figure things out (but
don't wait for him, move on).

11. If you think he is cheating, he probably
is. Confront him right away and if you feel he's
lying, let him go.

12. Never let a man define who you are.

13. You should never look for someone to
COMPLETE you...
a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...
look for someone complementary...
not supplementary.

I was having a hard time getting up this morning, the cold weather makes me want to sleep more and just stay home. I love mornings like this and it reminds me even more that Christmas is fast approaching and it’s time to finish my gift list before it’s too jammed in the malls. Lately, I have found joy in shopping online, I think it’s a new hobby that I really find exciting but I also need to take extra precaution because I may end up paying more than I should, that is why it is important to use promo codes to save a little in my shopping. I really love shopping for books at Amazon and I saved a great deal using my Amazon coupons. I can find rare titles there that I can’t find in my local bookstore and I’m sure my brother would love his Adidas coupons that will give him fabulous discounts in his sports apparel.

The sun is brightly shining today and after a series of bad mood I am starting to feel good now. Well, I cannot say that I am happy now but I just have a feeling that today will be a better day.

I woke up early today and walk along with my dog, I don't do that often since I am not an early riser but I just feel I need a moment to greet the sunrise and pray. I badly need God's presence in my life right now and as I stopped at the playground, I took the chance to get on the swing and just sway. It is supposed to be a rainy day today but as I was looking up, I saw the sun just beneath these trees and I am glad that slowly, the storm is over.

Have a nice to all!

I always consider it a blessing that I already finished college before I got sick, I just don’t know if I can be able to finish school when most of the time I was at the hospital and I was at a wheel chair for almost six months. It was during this time that I got hooked with the internet, since I have nowhere else to go and I don’t want to see my friends then, my PC became my only friend. At first, I was active with an online forum where I posted most of my love articles, poems, etc… but I eventually grew tired of it and chatting seems senseless to me already. It felt like I am wasting my time and I needed something worthwhile to do with my internet connection. And then a friend introduced me into an online university where I can enroll and finish my Masters Degree completely online. I did try it out and it was fun, after two years I finished my graduate studies and earned my Masteral Degree, it was an accomplishment on my part. I am thankful that education evolved in our time, you can now just sit back and earn a degree through the internet with all the online universities out there like the capella university where you can earn a degree completely online. Want to do something worthwhile with your time? Why not study online and use that education meaningfully.

Grab this from Yen, just have nothing to blog about ;)

1. At your next birthday celebration you can have any flavor, shape, size, and style of cake you want. What do you choose?
~I got a wonderful birthday cake the last time, anything will do :)

2. For friends and loved ones: do you buy a birthday cake or bake one for them?
~Buy, I can't bake.

3. Do you prefer sumptuous flavor or incredible decorations?
~Both...

4. What interesting cake, frosting, and filling combination would you most love to try?
~Just about anything... just thinking about that makes me hungry..

5. Tell us about a school subject or hobby that is a “cake walk” for you.
~I don't really know...

This is what I get when nothing comes to my mind, this is so senseless!

My best friend who is based in Canada is in town for a visit and she expresses her desire to invest here in the Philippines, she likes to venture into real estate and buy some land where she can eventually sell in a higher value in the future. I think it’s a good thing, my family invested on real estate too and now, we are reaping from it. She’s leaving in a few days and we have a schedule on a broker tomorrow for possible acquiring of properties.

I used to be an impulsive buyer but after a while I have learned to be an intelligent shopper. I am a shopaholic, it’s an addiction that I always find relaxing and enjoyable. I have set a goal, that if ever I earn through blogging I would buy myself a new laptop as a Christmas gift for myself. For weeks now, I was browsing to buy a new laptop and after thorough searching and haggling I found what I like, what I need and what I can afford and in just a matter of one week my new laptop will be delivered to me. I have reached my first goal and I am so happy.

Deciding to buy a laptop is tough, you must search for the ones that you really need and the specs do matter. You need to be wise too, spend only what you can afford and a cheap laptop does not mean you’ll suffer from the specs. Find something that offers a good price, discounts and a store that you can really save a lot. Just be a wise spender.

Did you feel the earthquake about lunch time today?

I was having lunch with my officemates at a mall when we felt the earth moved. We were kinda scared because we're on the top floor and we are in Glorietta, so we first thought there's another explosion that made the mall shake. We later realize it was an earthquake, still scary and we hurriedly finish our meal and head back to the office. I think we're still having paranoia at Glorietta, it's our favorite hang out ever since college and with the wood surrounding the ground zero, anyone who was there that day would remember how scary that explosion was. Anyway, it is once again a rainy day and I still feel gloomy. This sadness is getting a little old and even I are getting tired of it so I'm sorry if I'm not blog hopping or posting much, I don't think it safe for me to be around other people I might just explode.

It’s a good thing that we found a Cartridge Finder for all our printing needs.

I'm exhausted but before I call it a night and head to bed, I just can't help but rant about finding out that somebody is reposting my entries and that certain blog is using an RSS feed to fetch my entries and reposting them in their blog. I HATE THAT! I always try to keep my blog entries personal and even if I have three active blogs I rarely duplicate my own post. I always try to give my readers something new to read about and then I'll find out that somebody else is posting my entries as if it was their own, imagine even my own feelings are being posted on that blog! Annoying! Thanks to Technorati and I'm not really sure on what actions I'm going to make but I will definitely do something about this.

I don't really need a quiz to know if I'm in love, because I am. But I love taking online quizzes just to give you an idea of some of the things you are not really aware of.

Echoes Of Goodbye
By: Emmyrose

As I see the end of the line
I can hear the echo of your goodbye
Something tells me you're not coming back
And still, there I was waiting..

Hoping you'll change your mind
That somehow you might choose to stay
Although I knew you were really leaving
My heart refuses to let go

Let me love you one last time
Leave me with a wonderful memory
Look into my eyes and kiss me goodbye
Walk away and don't look back

I don't want you to see my cry
I love you so much that I am setting you free
And if one day destiny brings us back together
Then probably it was simply meant to be

But for now, I know that everything must come to an end
And even good things never really lasts...

Do you want this precious diamond? I most certainly want that. It has always been said that diamonds are every girl's best friend and who could resist this beautiful stone anyway. I know I got some commitment issues but of course as a hopeless romantic I have always dream of being engaged and being married someday by someone who could swept me off my feet, but that's just a little too far for me right now. I stumbled upon a great website that you can shop for such fine wedding rings and engagement rings, they're designs are truly amazing and it is something that could really blow you away. You might say I am just being materialistic but a diamond ring represents a timeless commitment to the one you love and I know it's not a gauge to measure your love but you will surely want your love of your life to be happy and something like this will absolutely make anyone joyful.

There's a song in my head that's been playing over and over again... I guess, this is the best way to describe what I'm feeling right now. And even if I can't really put into words what I really want to say, this song tells everything I'm feeling.

Don't give me a second chance
It'll be the same
You will be the consequence
And i will have the pain
You are something else
I have to survive
That is why I say with tears in my eyes
I wish I never opened up my heart
I didn't mean to love you, baby
I wish I never let it get this far
I didn't mean to love you baby
If I could have a single wish
I'd turn back time

I didn't mean to make you mine
Don't look at me like I'm mad
I though you would know
I was getting way too sad
It was gonna show
There was no way I could hide
I could hide the truth
so i look the risk
And fell for you
I didn't mean to get so lonely
I didn't mean to make you need me
I didn't mean to love you like I do
Look at what we've put us through
I didn't mean to make you
I didn't mean to make you
I didn't mean to make you mine

I enjoy watching live concerts, basketball games, plays, etc but what annoys me the most is the hassle in getting yourself a ticket. And if you want to book early, you just dial a hotline but it is not yet a guarantee that you will get good seats. Well, it’s a good thing that you can now enjoy your favorite game, concerts of your favorite artist and never miss an event by getting Wicked tickets that can provide you tickets to sold out event, how sweet is that…

My brother and I have our eyes set of having a home theater very soon and since we both enjoy watching movies, we really want to have that set up in our own home. We’re even thinking of getting a leather home theater seating just to get that same feeling and experience you get when you are inside a cinema. I know it’s quite expensive and it’ll be a while before we can save for it but very soon, we are gonna have this.

9 ½ YEARS BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR… a compelling and interesting true story written by Simone Corday. A memoir about her porn king lover Artie Mitchell, pornographer Hunter S. Thompson and the killing that stunned San Francisco. It was set in the Eighties just before the beginning of AIDS, they have been a part of the behind the scenes at the Mitchell Brothers’ O’ Farrell Theater, which was declared by Thompson “the Carnegie Hall of public sex in America.” The theater and its steamy live shows became a popular venue for celebrities in entertainment, sports and even for politicians and journalist. They found interest by the beautiful strippers and the backroom hospitality of the outrageous porn king hosts, Artie and Jim Mitchell who directed the groundbreaking porn film Behind the Green Door.
It is a book that will shed light of what really goes on behind the closed green door, the O’Farrell Theater was a wild place, seemingly emphasizing on sex and the writer wrote some of her wild experiences that she described realistically with a hope that her readers will be able to focus on the more serious parts of this story and understand her perspective. This book was taken from her journal that she kept since she started dancing at the theater, the complex love affair she shared with the porn king, Artie and until his death. It is her side of the story, the words of her soul, read the free chapters and find yourself mesmerized by this gripping story.

If you are my regular reader and you have been following my blogs, you will probably notice that I am not blogging much this week, in fact I have missed all my weekly memes in all of my blogs. Don’t worry I am not sick but I am currently experiencing a very foul mood and I really have nothing good to write about. I guess, I am still affected with what happened last Saturday when I had an encounter with the one I love. I don’t know but I am really praying for better days to come my way.

I am sorry for not hopping in your blogs and for not doing some tags, I’ll just come by soon… in the meantime, enjoy the rest of the weekend!

It has been said that the Philippines has a lot of hidden treasures. One of which is the famous Yamashita treasure, a Japanese general who was believed to have buried tons of gold in several areas in the Philippines during the World War II. Well, everything was hearsay, although there were rumors that Ferdinand Marcos (our former president) already took those gold bullion and this is the one of the source of the enormous wealth that the former president’s family is enjoying right now. Gold is truly a unique and valuable investment and unlike money it does not loses its value and it is universally accepted. Do you believe that Yamashita really left a lot of gold treasures here in the Philippine? Nah ~ Wherever it is I hope I can find one ^-^

Sometimes I wish I had never met you.
Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.
~ Good Will Hunting



Is it true that we never really say goodbye to someone we love, because no matter how hard we try, that love will always find its way back to us?

Sometimes I wish my heart didn't love you the way it does.

But when I remember the joy I once felt when you were still in my arms, I think, even the pain and the sorrow were all worth it. I don't think life would have been the same if I didn't love you, I just can't imagine me not loving you..

An overdue tag from Marie:

I started blogging in 2004, at first I was just merely posting my angst towards my Lupus illness and at that time my anger towards the people from church who betrayed me. I just want to release everything that I cannot truly tell to anyone. As years passed by, I noticed that most of my friends are monetizing their blogs. I don't want to. I just think that I will lose the purpose of my blog when I enter into pro-blogging, but when my friends started to blog about their earnings I got curious and I decided to give it a try. Now, I am already earning a lot especially with my domain blog (Dancing With Butterflies) where I'm getting lot of people who want to advertise on it, some of it I had to decline because it doesn't fit my theme. In just a month I have earned a lot to purchase some stuff from eBay and next month, I will be purchasing this solely from my blog earnings....
It also helps a lot with my daily expense and I am starting to enjoy it now, although sometimes I am receiving so much task assignments that I can't cope up.

*Tag Starts Here*

Instruction:
Please share the reason/s why you decided to do ads/paid posts. State how your earning is helping you in any way.
Pass it to 2 bloggers/publishers only.
After my name, list ALL your monetized blogs. If you have more than one blog, add the next blogs by using numbers only (such as 1, 2, 3, see my example) instead of long links.
Use the button but please no direct linking.
I would really appreciate it if you could drop me a line should you decide to entertain this tag. I would like to pay you a visit and add you on my list.

Emmyrose, 1, 2 ...

Everything’s digital these days and you’ll be amazed by how technology keep on improving itself. Do you remember when you need to save your files on a diskette? How about developing your pictures from a film roll? Well, that’s all in the past now. We are depended on the mini flash drives now to save our files and who needs a film roll when you have a micro sd that can save up to a thousand photograph. I guess, technology really works well at least for me.

Ever since I got sick I usually work from home and I’m not saying I like it but I have learned to live with it. One thing I desire is to have this kind of office furniture, I just find it so elegant and I’m quite sure that I can improve on my work with this kind of atmosphere. Who could resist this beautiful home office anyway? Certainly not me.

THE RULES - List of 8

* write 8 facts about yourself.
* in the 8 facts, you share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. at the end, you tag as much other bloggers to keep the fun going. each blogger must post these rules first.
* each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* at the end of the post, a blogger needs to choose as much people to get tagged and list their names.
* don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

I can't really think of something that I have not shared yet about myself but here it goes..

My List of 8

1. I'm not a domesticated person. I don't do laundry and anything associated with clothes, I just buy and wear them.

2. I've got a lot of cosmetic items that I don't use, I don't know how to put make-up.

3. I'm fascinated with perfumes. I got a wide collection of it but I only use D&G Light Blue, Clinique Happy and Cool Water.

4. I'm a spoiler with my nieces and nephews, I just love kids so much.

5. I've had four serious relationships but I broke my heart more than that.

6. I regularly go to spa for relaxation.

7. I'm a great cook and that is one household chore that I love to do.

8. I had a sister who suffered from cerebral palsy and she died when I was fifteen.

I'm not really sure if you have done this tag already, so you are all free to snag this one out, just breaking the rules a bit.

I love sports, well at least I used to. I was a tennis player and I also played volleyball back in high school. When I was in college, our university was just around a golf course and my friends and I used to watch them play. We even saw some celebrities playing golf and I really didn’t know what the game was all about. I find it rather boring since you don’t really move a lot. The equipments too are bulky and heavy, but I do love the outfit and the golf shoes. Well, since its not a physical sports I can probably try it but then again I am not allowed to be exposed in the sun… so I guess, I’ll just stick with indoor badminton and arcade basketball

I am currently using four credit cards. I find it really helpful and beneficial on my part since I don’t want to carry cash all the time. I also like the perks or the rewards that I’m getting using my credit cards. What I like most about my credit card is the hassle-free payment of my bills so that I won’t have to wait in line. I also take advantage of maximizing the payment method that I can choose so that I can still keep track of my expenses. I also like credit card consolidation so that I can use two cards at the same time to purchase something. I think it’s quite clear that I’m living with plastics.

I had an emotional weekend but enough of that... I want to start the week with a smile and a beautiful snapshot of a restaurant at a rooftop of one of the top hotel in Manila. I had lunch there yesterday with a friend I have not seen in awhile. It was a calming sight and a peaceful place to catch up with an old friend.

As promised, this is now the rose I've posted a week ago... it's full bloom and very lovely.

Have a great week everyone!

When I was diagnosed with Lupus and nearly died two years ago, I realized the importance of having a life insurance. I don’t want to be morbid or anything but I just want to be assured that just in case God decided to take my life already, I won’t be a burden to my fami
