Good Byes
I hate Good Byes
They remind me of all our “Hi”s
I always believed we would live together
Because I knew we were meant for each other
I’m left with nothing but pain
As I stand here under the rain
I walk this street lonely
Without You here beside me
I don’t know if I can face the sunrise
When we’ve already said our Good Byes
You and Me Against The World
I don’t ever want to leave Your side
Coz without You I can’t survive
I’ll walk with You I can’t survive
I’ll walk with You through the rain
And I promise, I’ll shield You from the pain
I may not be with You by sunrise
But please, don’t get tears in Your eyes
I’ll hug You before I leave, Kiss You before night
When I’m gone and You’re along
Please don’t fright
I try my hardest to be strong,
Knowing that it won’t last long,
My heart aches to see her face,
Right by her side is my special place,
I wake up knowing that she’s not here,
That is my worst and terrible fear..
I know first hand how some people feel about arranged marriages, specially if the one You love is the one getting arranged with someone else…
Saying that, people would already think of ”how can I stop it?!?
The only way of stopping it without arising any other problems is by talking to the parents directly. It’s hard and requires a great amount of guts, but isn’t it worth it? Loosing someone You really care of is hard, and sometimes we would do anything to hold on to them. Some people resorts to violence or running away, which am telling is completely wrong. Although, if You know You can get a “great” job, running away may be an option. That is “IF” You know You can get a job that could provide a great living and someone You can run to. Being straight forward and calm would be the best action to take.
Calm, yeah…Who could stay calm at a situation like that? Rash and Reckless decisioning would only lead to a downfall. You should take in the situation, results, and consequences.
Some people believe in the saying “If You love someone, let them go…If they return, then You’re meant to be together…” Allowing the person You love go through the arranged marriage is another option. Crazy, I know, but had You ever thought that maybe the person he’s/she’s getting married to would be best for them, or that it’s a way for them to get a better life? Yeah. This idea is crazy. But it’s still an option.
Arranged Marriage isn’t bad. Just make sure You think before taking actions, before making decisions. “Listen to Your heart” now that’s just so cliche, but true. All i know is…I’ll never let go…Coz I Love her and and I don’t wanna loose her…
Never Let Go

Annabeth, a girl who I didn’t even have the time to talk to before, is now the girl I’m pledging my love to. I don’t know how, or why, but I started to fall for her. Before I met her I had no reason to continue living, all I could think of was the emptiness of my heart. Then she came along and took my heavy heart and made it light. She wasn’t just an average girl, she was one of a kind, and to me she’s a Princess.
It all started last year, when I said “Hello there”. It was the first time I took notice of her. The moment I gazed into her hazel brown eyes, I felt different; somehow my heart skipped a beat. I saw how she was starring at the stars, and then I saw myself lost for words.
“Hi…” she answered with a down manner, as if the whole world was on her shoulders and against her.
“You Ok?” I asked. “Feels like you’re worried about something.”
From the way she hesitated to reply, I knew that she was thinking about something. “It’s nothing… I’m fine.”
“Oh…Ok. So, what you up to?” I said, knowing that she certainly has a problem bugging her. I didn’t want her to think about her problems, and who was I to mind about her business? So I decided to drop the topic.
“Nothing…Just here, watching the stars.” The way she answered gave me the expression that she was about to cry.
“Do you mind if I stay and watch the stars with you?” I wasn’t really sure why I asked, but I felt like staying there with her.
“Sure…” She answered. “And thanks… For not asking about my problem.”
I just smiled as I lay down on the grass beside her.
I don’t know what happened next, the whole night went by consequently fast, but in the end, we were laughing, talking, and watching the stars at the same time. It was a moment I wish would last forever.
The next day, I saw her at school. She was walking home alone. Since last night I felt better talking to her, so I caught up with her and decided to walk her home.
“Hello again.” I said while trying to catch my breath.
“Hi”. This time she replied with such life in her voice.
“How are you?” Now I was expecting a better answer than last night.
“I’m great. Thanks to you.” The answer she gave made me smile.
“You’re always welcome. Anyways, where do you live?”
“Just around the corner”
We got to her house, and that’s where the path ends. We talked for another five minutes on her porch, then we said our “See Ya Tomorrow’s” and “Take Care’s”.
From then on I tried my best to be always there for her. We talked whenever possible, walk to and from school, and watched the stars at night. We became close friends in no time.
My other friends would always say things to mock me, like “Now you want to be her Guardian Angel to watch over her, huh?” I’d always reply something similar to “No… I want to be a knight to protect her” or “You have a girl to watch over, I have a Princess to Protect.” They’d start laughing out loud. I can’t blame them, those words did sound a little cheap, but those are the words I took seriously. I keep telling Annabeth that I have a habit on making the impossible possible, she never did believe me.
People around us would say that we looked like a great couple. We’d blush and say that we’re just friends, and nothing more.
Well, the months that passed by were unforgettable and the moments I spent with Annabeth were fixed in my heart and I started to fall for her. Still, she doesn’t know how I feel for her. I’d constantly put to joke how much I love her, she’d just laugh and say we care about each other. All I needed was a chance to tell her that I love her, but I guess when that chance did come it was too late.
One day, the unexpected happened. As usual, we were walking home from school. Annabeth and I were now at the corner, a block away from her house, when three men came out of nowhere.
“Well would you look at this.” Randy, Annabeth’s ex-boyfriend, said. He was tall with broad shoulders. His short blond hair was all messed up like a nest.
*Randy was Annabeth’s problem. He was the problem that she didn’t want to talk about, and I never did ask her.*
“It appears like your girl has a new boy there, Randy.” Bradley said. Randy’s wingman, and at his side is Paul, another wingman.
“What do you want?” Annabeth asked with such hatred in her voice. It was the first time I heard her so mad.
“Nothing much…Just you.” I saw the way his eyes gave a malevolence feeling as he replied.
The moment he said those words both Bradley and Paul plunged towards Annabeth, trying to grabbed her by the arms. I didn’t think twice, I started throwing punches and was able to knock Bradley out of conscious but Paul backed up beside Randy, who fired a gun in the air then aimed at me.
“You think you can do the impossible? Try stopping a bullet!” Randy said.
At first I thought Randy would shoot me, but no, I was wrong. He aimed at Annabeth and cocked the gun. Right then I knew what I had to do.
***BANG!***
I heard Annabeth’s scream. She wasn’t shot. The next thing I know, I was on my back, looking at Annabeth.
As Randy fired the gun I ran straight into the bullet’s path. The pain that pierced my chest came and left in an instant. My body fell to the ground like a lifeless object that I was about to be.
Sirens whaled at the distance. Randy and his wingmen ran. I guess the people around us saw what was happening and called 911.
I lay on the ground with Annabeth right by my side as tears flow down her checks. I gazed into her eyes and every moment I had with her flashed into my mind. I was glad that she wasn’t hurt.
“Don’t die, please, don’t leave me.” Annabeth’s voice was trembling. She was now hugging me; I felt the warmth of her body, and her love.
I could only think of three words. With my last breath, I whispered to her ear. “I Love You…” And with that, I closed my eyes.
If you were given a choice to choose between life and death, which would you choose?
Of course a person with common sense would choose life. But what do you get in life? If you’re someone that’s always depressed, or someone that’s far away from someone you care about, you’d actually think twice…In Life, you get to be with the person you love, and there are times that you’ll get separated with that person, but you’re alive.
Death…Everyone seems so afraid of it. When you’re dead, you’ll get to be with the person you love…At all times…You’ll be able to see them, hear them, and possibly protect them.
All of a sudden death ain’t that scary, is it? But being afraid of death is normal, and if you’re not afraid of it, then you’re a fool. If you’re dead you’ll be with the person you love, but what’s the point if you’re already dead? At times life may not feel right and death suddenly comes in mind. That’s because you think of all the negative things that’s been happening. When you think about death, try thinking about the good things that happened, and think about someone that really loves you…Or someone that really cares…Don’t disappoint them by just dying…
A close friend once told me….”Everything Happens For A Reason”…It’s a quote that I didn’t believe in…Now I do, because I’m telling you…It’s True….
The Baby represents Life...and the Grims represents Death.....
It’s a feeling that I don’t really know how to describe…When you love a girl, you love her. But what if you know that you’ll have to leave her in a few months? Would you still tell her that you like her and try to get closer to her? Or would you just let things stay the way they are so that there won’t be much pain when you leave?
I don’t know what to do. Maybe I’ll tell her. Maybe I won’t. The funny thing is, I see her everyday for the last 3 years, and I only notice her this year, and this year would be my last year being close to her. She changed my point of view of life. She’s a close friend and I’ll have to leave her in a few months…
So what is this feeling? Is it Love? Hate? Sadness? Regret? or a little mixture of everything? Then what’s it called?
Well….if you think you know, please comment…I’d also love it if you would post your story…^_^
Picking up the tiny bundle, I was surprised that my name is written, it was a Birthday Gift from my Big Brother. Even though it has been more than two years since we made a big deal about birthdays, he still remembered to give me one. I tore the rappers of, and to my astonishment, it was a remote controlled Helicopter, I have been asking my dad to buy me one, and now it’s right in front of me, waiting to be tested. It was red, with yellow stripes; the helicopter was only as big as my hand, but extremely powerful. Suddenly my big brother knocked at my door asking me if I would like to take the chopper out on a test flight, without hesitating I shouted YES. My brother asked for the helicopter and told me to wait outside. I ran outside, ready than ever. My brother came out holding the chopper in his left hand and the remote in the other. He laid the helicopter on the ground, gave me the remote and told me to have fun.
By the moment I held the remote, I felt excited and worried at the same time; there were a lot of trees surrounding us. I wouldn’t want my new and haven’t been used chopper to get stuck high up in a tree. I decided to tell my brother that I’d rather test it out in an open space and there was only one place that I could think of, the park. As we arrived I was so anxious to try out my helicopter that I could already see myself flying the chopper high up in the air. I reached for the chopper and its remote then raced outside almost tripping. The Chopper was set, remote in my hand, the excitement running through my body, all which turned into a disappointment, the chopper won’t work.
I was studying the chopper, looking for something wrong. I looked to my brother, who was laughing at me. He walked towards me and said “On the remote first”. I turned a little red, for all the things I would forget, the on switch, of course.
By the end of the day I was tired, my neck hurts since I was looking up the whole time, my legs was sore because I was standing for the last 2 hours. On the way home, I told myself that I would remember this day for the rest of my happily ever after life.
Dream Works announced that a sequel to Kung Fu Panda will be launched in June 3, 2011. This film will reunite Jack Black, as Po the panda, Angelina Jolie and other actors in the original voice cast. The sequel will be about Po, the world’s biggest Kung Fu Fan, continuing his journey as “The Chosen One” and mastering the art of Kung Fu.
Kung Fu Panda has reached over $620 million, making it one of the most successful movies of 2008. Jeffery Katzenberg, an American movie producer and CEO of DreamWorks, says that he can make 5 more movies from Kung Fu Panda, which is more than he planned for his billion-dollar Shrek franchise. Bill Damaschke, President of Live Productions added that, “The story of ‘Kung Fu Panda’ provided a great introduction to these characters and afforded wonderful opportunities to further expand on the world we created in ancient China. Quite simply, there’s more story to tell.”
Can’t wait to see The Sequel…
