Who is the one that got away? I guess it’s that person with whom everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose.

I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter whom you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest stars of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it will make sense, it really will.

So that day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you’re single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the person you think about.

You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, “What if they were here today?” You’ll wonder, “What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?” That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest “What if?” you’ll have in your life. If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that you’re already with the one you’re with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a “might have been,” but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who is already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple…. Find him, find her. Because the very existence of a “one that got away” means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one?

Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be the “one that got away” as well for the person who is your “the one that got away”.

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it wont make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it will all just fall into place somehow and you know.

I’m thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, “Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away”.

This was sent to me by a friend who let the love of her life slipped from her hands. Hope you find him again, friend.

I am a woman. I’m entitled to mood swings. Very True. Ha! ha!

Everytime I say “I Love You”, it comes from the heart and I truly mean it. Do you mean it too? Say these words to someone that you love today. Who knows maybe there would be no tomorrow for you to still say it.

Suicide is never an option. It is the coward’s way out, don’t you think? Please never think that no one loves and understands you. There are dozens of dying people out there who are willing to give anything and everything just for one more day. Don’t waste life, it’s beautiful.

Everything’s easy when it’s not about you. Things get complicated when the “you” is replaced with “me”.

Hugs make a big difference. It reinforces confidence, well-being and love. HUGS for everyone!

Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like nobody’s watching.
Sing like nobody’s listening.
Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.

More and more people are getting rhinoplasty or nose job. Some are for aesthetic purposes related to the boost of self esteem which is on top of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
Some on the other hand, are doing it for health reasons that can be preventive or corrective measures.
Either way, it’s still a matter of personal choice. If you have decided to go under the knife, you must also do your homework since there are rampant “fly by night” surgeons whose unsafe practice leads to a more serious physical damage and health condition.

California Dreams is an American TV series that aired from 1992 to 1996. The teen-oriented program aired on Saturday mornings on NBC. It was created by writers Brett Dewey and Ronald B. Solomon and executive produced by
Peter Engel, all known more for their work on Saved by the Bell. California Dreams was about a multiethnic group of teens creating a band and having fun under the sun. The show’s plots combined real-life issues with zany adventures. It covered a range of topics such as fear, using drugs for a competitive edge, falling for scams, letting greed overtake friendship, accepting a divorced parent dating, forgiving others for past wrongs, and dealing with general teen social problems. – taken from Wikipedia

Another show I truly enjoyed when I was a teenager was My Secret Identity. This show came before California Dreams.

My Secret Identity was a Canadian television series in the 1980s starring Jerry O’Connell as 14-year-old Andrew Clements, who, one day while looking for his friend, Dr. Benjamin Jeffcoate (Derek McGrath), trips and is hit by a radiation beam, causing him to develop superpowers. He uses these abilities to fight crime and to help people, but hides them from all of his family and friends with the exception of Jeffcoate. – taken from Wikipedia

And now, after being so popular for how many months here and abroad, after all the brouhaha died down, I got addicted to The High School Musical!

High School Musical is a made-for-TV musical. Released on January 20, 2006, it was one of the most successful Disney Channel Original Movies produced, with a television sequel in production and a movie spin-off in the planning process.[2] The film’s soundtrack was the best-selling album of 2006.[3] The film was shot almost entirely in the Wasatch Front region of Utah (namely Salt Lake City and Ogden).

With a plot described as a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet,[4] High School Musical is a story of two high school students from rival cliques: Troy Bolton (Zac Efron), captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Anne Hudgens), a shy transfer student who excels in math and science. Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the school. Despite other students’ attempts to thwart their dreams, Troy and Gabriella resist peer pressure and rivalry, inspiring others along the way not to “stick with the status quo.”

This was Disney Channel’s most successful movie at its time with 7.7 million viewers in its premiere broadcast in the US. In the UK, the cable premiere received around 835,000 viewers for its first run, making the film the most watched program for the Disney Channel (UK) of 2006. – taken from Wikipedia

I go crazy when I hear songs from the show. It’s really good!

Oh well… There’s nothing wrong with enjoying teenage shows right?

Then walking in the rain made me realize so many things. For so long I’ve kept you in my heart. Crazy, yes. But I nurtured that feeling. I’ve taken care of it all these years. But are my feelings really intended for you? Or am I just nurturing the idea of being in love with someone from my past?

Worse! I am in love with the idea of being in love!

Can I really see myself with you? No, I don’t. You’re not even my type. I want a man who will sustain me through the years. With whom I can talk to. Who will make me feel loved and cherished. With whom I can argue and laugh with. I don’t want a man who has polygamy screaming at his aura and bloodline. No way would I stand guard over a man for the rest of my life. Then again, a one night stand would not hurt. Hahahah kidding!

This damn song is making me all weak in my resolve to get him out of my system. Stop singing in my head…

Looking ahead I see the two of us together… I’m living in a brighter world now that I have you…

On weekends, instead of sleeping the day away, I go out with friends or the family.

Just to make you realize how sleepy I am all the time, I had my foot spa the other day. While the attendant was busy doing things to my feet, I was fast asleep! The whole time. I just woke up when the attendant woke me up to ask what nail polish I want.

Hay…

The problem with me is that, my body wants to relax and go to deep slumber in the morning, when it’s time for me to work. At night, I am totally wide awake. Can I just take a nap even for an hour? zzzzzzzzzzzz

A cup of hot choco or latte… The unread mystery novel opened on Chapter 1… Strains of Enya or Bruce Springsteen on the background… Soft, soft pillows… your favorite blanket… your oh-so-used couch that’s so comfy you’d want to drown in it…

Hay…

This is by far the most curl-up-on-the-couch Monday morning for me!

Course, I’m here at work daydreaming about it…

Happy lazy Monday, everyone! ^_^
