-Grey’s Anatomy

Most of our life is a series of images; they pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens, & we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.

Sometimes despite all your best choices & all your good intentions, fate wins

You may see me struggle but you will never see me fall.

If you live to be 100, I want to live to be 100, minus one day so that I never have to live without you.

I must be a pretty good liar for you to honestly think that everything’s alright.

You don’t love someone because they’re perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they’re not.

it’s not true that beer makes you fat. It actually makes you lean: lean on walls, lean on doors and lean on to the person you like.

Now I understand why some people get themselves drunk. It’s not because they just want to get wasted but because they want to escape each killing moment they spent every fucking night thinking about what’s happening with their damn life. Of course they don’t forget their problems; at least they don’t spend the night crying themselves to sleep.

Would you rather know or not know? Some say that what you don’t know won’t hurt you. But what if you know that you don’t know something? Won’t that hurt too?

In our world of wrong choices, someday, someone will come into your world that will make you say, “This time, I got it right.”

For once, I want to be reason why he cuts his hair just because I told him so, the reason why he eats something just because it’s my favorite food, the reason why he buys a shirt just because I have the same color, the reason why he falls asleep while holding his phone at night, the reason why he loves something he used to hate because I love it and lastly I want to be the reason why he smiles and laugh. I want to be the because of his every why’s.

I let him go but it doesn’t mean that I don’t love him. I’m just thinking of what might happen. Someday, in the time we don’t expect, we’ll just meet. And maybe, just maybe, it would be our time.

People get hurt when they fall in love so what’s the fuss about? It’s just love. Sometimes, I’m hurt when I see a couple happy because I remember the days I was happy with him. Well, they say that’s life. People come and go but the truth is they never go. They are still locked up inside of you and no matter how hard you get it out of you the more it hurts knowing that you yourself don’t want to let it out. Why is it so damn hard to forget while it is so damn easy to fall?

Which is harder, hoping that the one you love will fall for you or trying to love someone who loves you?
Both hard, isn’t it? But the hardest is when you fall for the one who loves you just when the one you love is finally falling for you.

People are trying to correct their lives trying to fit everything right, trying not to be wrong again. But we must remember that being wrong sometimes makes us a better person.

Just because I’m single doesn’t mean that I don’t know a thing about love. In fact being solo is a lot wiser than being in a relationship.

The things we lose always find a way of coming back to us in the end. Just not in the way we expect it.

You know what’s sad about love? It’s when you know that there’s no hope for you being together yet you still pray to make it work.

I don’t get it why a lot of people love happy ending so much. ‘m thinking, no matter how happy the ending was still it has ended.

While walking I heard an old lady say, “I’ve been in love with the same man for almost 50 years.” I was touched but then she said, “I wish he knew.”

Two of the shortest words in the English language are yes & no, yet they are often the ones that require most thought before they are spoken.

The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.

Most of the time we can’t tell what’s wrong w9th somebody by just looking at them. After all, they can look perfectly fine on the outside while their insides tell us a whole other story.

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like.

He isn’t my boyfriend- but I love his hugs, his smile, his advice, his love, his kindness, & the times we laugh together- I guess I fell in love with our friendship

All my life I thought I needed the perfect setting, the perfect opportunity & the perfect way to tell someone I love them but suddenly, I realized I don’t need any of that because I know it’ll be perfect as long as I’m saying it to you.

You only have 3 choices when it comes to love: give up, give in and give it your all. You just need to decide - which one is worth it.

If we’re perfect for each other, and if we’re meant to be with each other, we will be with each other. Maybe not now, or tomorrow, but later, and I can promise you that.

A couple was celebrating their 1st year anniversary. The man gave the woman a dead rose attached 2 it. The woman felt insulted & slapped d man. Sad part is, the note read: “this s me w/o you.”

Someday I’ll die. No more talks, laughter and tears. But there will always be traces to live by. If I die surely my life would end but when I die, you can still continue talking and I’ll listen.

You’re the reason I live, you’re the reason I’d die, you’re the reason I smile yet breakdown and cry. You’re the reason I keep going and the reason I fall. But without you in my life, I’m nothing at all.

Some people are plain fools, some are really stupid. When you love someone who doesn’t love you back desperately, you are a fool. If you don’t have any idea that somewhere, somebody loves you, you’re stupid. Admittedly, I know I’m a fool. I just hope that you aren’t stupid.

Everyone in this world is different, but the people who are truly brave enough to show their differences are considered embarrassing or not normal. Maybe, the “normal” people in this world are just scared to show who they really are…

-Oprah Winfrey

One night, they argued. The next day, the guy gave flowers and chocolates. They sat and looked at the stars.
GF: “is this your way of saying sorry?”
BF: “no, this is my way of saying goodbye.”

What’s the hardest part in ending a relationship? Not the feeling of letting go, not the part of goodbye, but going through every damn day and having to remember it.

We don’t choose the person we fall for or get attracted with…it just hits us like a speeding bullet and… BANG!!! We couldn’t feel it at first, unless we see ourselves bleeding…

We used to think that life is a fairytale: full of magic, exciting, vivid! But that was a long time ago… Now we know that there’s more to life than just “happily ever after…”

We’ve learned that we get wiser each day…And no fairy can lead us to happy ending. We decide, we struggle…And somehow we begin to understand…That we have the power to make each day better than yesterday.

Always make your absence felt; in such a way that somebody misses you. But let not your absence be so long that somebody starts to learn to live without you.

1 Being broken hearted is like having a broken pair of ribs… on the outside, it looks like there’s nothing wrong but every breath hurts…

Waiting for someone you love is never easy. It may even be irrelevant especially if the one you love isn’t aware that you’re waiting…

it’s hard to fall in love again, when you’re still attached to your past. You must learn to let go and open your heart to someone else. It’s not easy to do but sometimes, you just have to.

It's best to wait for the one available, best to wait for the one you love than the one who’s around, best to wait for the right one because life is too short to be wasted on the wrong one.

When you love, you thought you would never get tired. You thought it would never end. But sometimes, you need to be tired to realize that love too can end especially if it wasn’t meant to be.

You are the reason why I have sleepless nights. You are the reason why I tend to hold my pillow tight. It’s you that I’m thinking when I lay down at night. And you are the reason I can’t sleep without saying goodnight.

You wanted friendship, I gave it to you. You wanted me to care for you, I did. You made me fall in love with you, I fell for you. You wanted to break my heart, I’m giving it all to you coz I’ll always love you.

Somewhere in your heart try to find a place for me, somewhere in your heart I won’t care where it would be. One little corner might not mean so much to you, but one little corner is all I ask of you.

When you truly care for someone, you don’t look for faults, you don’t look for mistakes, instead you fight for the mistakes, you expect the faults and you overlook the excuses.

People seldom say I love you. And when they do it’s either too late or the love is gone. But when I say I love you, it doesn’t mean you have to stay but I wish you’ll never go away.

Would you be kind to let yourself be my teddy bear? Someone I could hug, I could kiss, I could cry on. But don’t worry about looking for your own teddy bear because you already got me.

Everyday I walk towards you, hoping that I’d somehow get to be with u, for at least a moment. But it’s hard for me to catch up with you if you’re also trying to catch up with someone else.

You’re someone who’s different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that, in my view, is a serious illness.

"I've made mistakes in my life. I've let people take advantage of me, and I accepted way less than I deserve. But, I've learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I'll know better next time and I won't settle for anything less than I deserve."

“Trials exist because God wants to test you.” That’s a lie! He already knows your capabilities, more than you could imagine. Trials exist because you need to learn one thing and that is faith.

Without Jesus, days are mournday, tearsday, wasteday, thirstday, shatterday and sinday. So allow him to be with you every day.

God is the reason why even in pain, we smile; even in confusion, we understand; even in betrayal, we trust and even in fear, we continue to fight.

Some lessons are best learned through pain. Sometimes our visions become clear only after our eyes are washed with tears. Sometimes we have to be broken so we can be whole again. If God meant the day to be perfect, He wouldn’t have invented tomorrow.

Do you know the feeling of loving someone who does not love you in return? It hurts, right? That is how God feels most of the time.

A gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. - Proverbs 15:1

Wherever you are, I pray love be with you. Wherever you go, I pray goodness to surround you. Whatever you do, I pray joy to fill your heart because you deserve every good gift a wonderful life can hold.

Life forms us. Sin deforms us. School informs us. But only God transforms us.

God doesn’t want you to describe how great your mountains are, what He wants you to do is to tell your mountains how great your God is.

It is wonderful to get answers from prayers but it is even more wonderful to let God mind you and make you into an answer to somebody’s prayer.

The Lord hides everything in nothing. He hides a tree in a seed. He hides a king in a shepherd boy. He hides a savior in a baby. Aren’t you excited to see what he is hiding in you?

When God leads you to the edge of a cliff, trust him fully and let go because only one of the two things might happen. Either he will catch you when you fall or he will teach you how to fly.

You know what is the sweetest time of the day? It is when you pray. Why? Because you are talking to the One who loves you most.

Life is a constant battle for survival. And as we grow older, the rules change on daily basis. Our mission is not to escape but to survive and win. Not just deal with triumph but to deal with failures and mistakes. Not to run away from fear but to master it. It takes courage to keep on fighting. So if you feel like the rules have shifted one step higher, deal with it and never surrender. God is with you.

The Lord never fails to surprise us. He hides a tree in a seed. He hides a king in the carpenter’s son. He hides a savior in a baby. Aren’t you excited to see what he’s hiding in you? Be prepared for the big surprise the God will provide you.

They say you can never love a person whom you have never seen. I just smiled and said, “I haven’t seen God but I love him.”

“Jesus wasn’t your typical superhero. He wore no cape or costume. He had no logo on his chest or spotlight beacon in the sky. He didn’t have a wise cracking sidekick with a catchy tagline. And he didn’t try to hide his identity to protect himself or his family. He boldly proclaimed who he was, fearless of the danger it would later bring upon himself.” - Brian Coates

An astronomer’s proof that God really exists: “I always look at the planets and see every movement. I realize all of them are moving. But one thing really amazes me, the earth never changes its course – not even a bit, even one degree. You know why? If the earth gets one degree closer to the sun, it will burn and one degree apart, it will freeze. So I realize there’s someone holding it. Someone called God.

Jesus and Satan were using the computer. They started typing. They did every known job, report, emails, and attachments and download. But before the time was up, lighting, thunder, rain and brownout came. Satan cursed. Jesus just sighed. When electricity was back, Satan lost every single thing he had done. But Jesus started printing all his files. Satan shouted, “You cheated!” Jesus just smiled. Because he did what Satan didn’t know, he SAVES.

When God takes something away from your grasp, He is not punishing you but merely emptying your hand to receive something better.

God would not give you the dream or the desire in your heart if he did not also give you the talent and abilities to make that dream come true.

The biggest blessing in our lives is simply the presence of people who care much, who loves for real and see us much beyond ourselves.

I won’t dare question God why He puts me through trials and challenges because I never question Him when I experience joy and victory.

There are times when prayer is the only gift we can give to the one we care for, so I do always pray to God to take good care of you, everyday and always.

When God looks around to use somebody, He has no one to choose from except failures. We serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to His glory and our own advantage. - Steve Farrar

Often, we stand at life’s crossroads and view what we think is the end. But God has much bigger vision and He tells us, “Relax, it’s just a bend, not the end.”

A sailor was stuck in an island where he is the only survivor. He made a hut for his shelter, day and night he prayed and waited for someone to rescue him but no one came. He stored food in the hut for his survival but one day, the hut burned to ashes and nothing was left of it. He was so angry, he said: “God, why have you done this to me?” The next morning, rescuers came. He asked, “How did you know that I am here?” They replied, “We saw a smoke signal.” Trust HIM when misfortune happens. His plans are always greater than ours.

We often get impatient and take things into our own hands but God says, “Be quiet, trust me. I know your needs better that you do. Just wait, let me work and give you the best.”

Someday, God will send someone into your life and love you like you have always wanted. If that was yesterday, learn. If that will be tomorrow, wait. If that is today, keep in and never let it go.

God put you on this Earth because no one else can do what you do the way you do it. Be the unique person He intended you to be.

“Lord, at the start of this day, I pray for wisdom to sort my priorities. Let me keep my sense of humor and enjoy a hearty chuckle. Calm my nerves with mental flashes from Your Word. And at the end of this day, let me genuinely say “Thank you Lord for giving me such a wonderful life.” Amen.

Life is unpredictable, anything could just happen. It might me a success or a mess but as long as we are leaning on the Lord’s side, we will win. God never let us down.

Messages from God:
1. Please don’t drink and drive. You are not yet ready to meet me.
2. If you miss the sunrise I made for you today, I will make another one tomorrow.
3. How can you possibly be a self-made man? I specifically recall creating you.
4. If you think Monalisa is stunning, you should look at My masterpiece in the mirror. Smile!

What is Christianity?
At home, it is kindness. In business, it is honesty. In society, it is courtesy. At work, it is fairness. For the unfortunate, it is pity. For the weak, it is help. For the wicked, it is resistance. For the strong, it is trust. For the fortunate, it is congratulations. For the penitent, it is forgiveness. For God, it is reverence and love.

Happiness isn’t getting what we want but being satisfied with what we have. The way to be happy is to be grateful even with the simple blessings we have.

Life is an undying cycle. It is a battle of survival. If you quit, you are a loser. If you fall, stand up. God doesn’t throw stones that you cannot catch.

Never forget to thank God for all the blessings He has given us. No matter how good or bad, there is always a reason and it is always for the best.

Wonder why God didn’t give us the gift to read the mind of others? So we could have the chance to trust and the privilege to be trusted.

A beautiful prayer: “Lord, I know not everything I wished and hoped for will come true. Please give me strength to let go and entrust everything to You. I understand You won’t allow me to be in pain for the sake of hurting but for the sake of learning. You know me more than I know myself that even when I feel alone and unloved, there is still someone who knows all my flaws yet loves me unconditionally like no other human can.”

Sometimes you have got to tuck your feelings away until it’s the right time. Like stuffing coins into a piggy bank for a bike you can’t quite afford because you will never know, maybe when you crack open that piggy bank you will find out that all this time you haven’t been saving for a bike, but for a car in God’s time.

In this world, someone stands behind us; silently loving us, reaching out a hand when we’ve fallen, encouraging us when we are tested and in fear, understanding us when no one does and pointing us the light when we are in the dark. God deserves a pause, a hug and a thank you because we are wrapped in a beautiful truth that we are loved without measure.

One thing I have learned from God is how to get along happily whether I have much or little. I know how to live on almost nothing or everything. I have learned the secret of contentment in every situation. You know why? It is because God is enough to cover everything.

If God doesn’t give you what you want, it isn’t what you need.

Success in life can never be an accident. It is the result of hard work and faith in God. Champions are not the people who never fail but the people who never quit.

God measures the person with the burdens He puts on him. So when you feel your load is heavier than the rest, be happy for God sees you stronger than the rest.

There are times we treat life like a mysterious door. It doesn’t open no matter how hard we push it. We never notice that a huge sign is posted that reads pull. Same thing with life, we struggle, we push, and we push harder until we are tired, hurt, bruised and wounded. We forget there’s a better way surrender, let go and let God in. God willed our lives to be wonderful, lift um everything to Him.

No matter our age or status in life, we all can strive to love others as God loves them. We may accomplish great things in our life – gain fame and fortune – but the greatest thing is love. For all of that we have don or ever will do; only love endures. We depart, love abides.

People have different outlooks in love. But whatever those are there is only a single truth behind everyone’s heartache: love hurts when God knows we deserve someone better.

Daily reminders:
Most important in life – Jesus
Most beautiful attire – Smile
Greatest asset – Faith
Most powerful force – Love
Worst thing to be without – Prayer

Man: God, how long is a million years to you?
God: A second.
Man: How much is $1 million to you?
God: A cent.
Man: Can I borrow a cent?
God: Wait a second.

God asked me how much I loved Him, o spread my arms and told Him, “This big.” I asked Him how much He loved me, He spread His arms and He died.

What is real happiness? It is when you feel fine even if there is only 20 pesos left in your pocket. It is when you enjoy life even without a partner on your side. It is when you thank God despite the problems you have. And most importantly, it is when we know how to smile every time we wake up knowing that we have never been a cause of someone’s pain.

The more love is silently expressed; the more obvious it can be seen. No wonder God loves us in silence but gives us mostly unnoticed blessings.

In a Science class, the teacher asked her students to give an example of things which are countless. Maria answered water. Pedro answered sand. Mateo answered air. The teacher noticed that everybody was participating except for one. She called his attention and asked the same question. “What are the things which are countless?” Martin stood up and answered “blessings.” Have you tried counting yours?

Sometimes, God seems to be quiet. He seems to be absent and never listens. We call Him but never answer. We asked Him for help but He never rescue. I asked myself, “Why God that in my deepest troubles You were not with me?” God smiled and told me, “I never left you. I just want to watch you fighting using My words that are stored in your heart and mind as your weapon. I will always be with you just be with Me always.”

It is morning again. Cheer up and wear a perfect smile. Embrace the day with sheer delight and thank the Lord for an added day.

The power of prayer will never leave you even in the darkest of times. It is the greatest weapon known to man, a freedom no one can take away.

No one will manufacturer a lock without a key. Similarly, God won’t give us problems without solutions. I hope you can find the right key every time you encounter a locked door.

Never rest in serving God. If problems come in your way, go on. If people try to destroy your faith, hold on. For as long as God is there, there will always be a light, a hope, a way.
