* cures for a broken heart *
"Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again; skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts." -Anonymous
There's very little in life that hurts as much as a broken heart. I always wished there were a guide on dealing with the pain of having loved and lost. So I'm gonna make an attempt at such a guide. Based on my many days dealing with a broken heart in what I call "the pain chamber," I'd like to share some thoughts on what's gotten me through:
First, listen to some country music.
Second, try listening to some country music.
Third, did I say country music?
Country songs cover some powerful lessons and wise teachings on handling the dark side of love. Depending on the day or the moment, any of the following tips might help...
1. Keep in mind that a broken heart is part of being human
Be wary of the person who hasn't dealt with a broken heart. No matter how strong you might be, if you're open to love, you're automatically vulnerable to pain. So don't feel bad if you’re in the pain chamber. Know that it's very normal and very much a part of being human. In "God Only Knows," Cynthia Ford sings about the unbearable pain that no amount of strength can overcome. She learns it's faith, not strength, that can get you through:
Somebody tell me if there's
any other way
I tried prayin' for strength
But it never came
So I'm praying for faith
Cuz God only knows
How hard this is for me
2. Light the fire
When dealing with heartbreak, sometimes it helps to get a little fired up! You can spend a lot of time bummed out and weeping, but at a certain point, it might help to get off your ass. Go for a run, lift some weights, scream if you must. Think Rocky Balboa meets the Karate Kid. In other words, get pumped. Check out Dierks Bentley's song "Forget About You" for inspiration:
I heard that ol' Jones song just the other day
'Bout a man who took that ol' broken heart to his grave
But I'll be damned if a memory's gonna lay me down
I might be walkin' around with a head full of air
Actin' kinda crazy but I don't care
This heart's barely beating, but I'll still be above the ground
I'll forget about you!
3. Take solace in the fact that things have a way of working out
It's hard to understand the first time your heart is broken. But over time, you come to realize that there's a certain rhyme and reason to life. As Garth Brooks sings, you may just become grateful for your "Unanswered Prayers":
She was the one that I'd wanted for all time
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
4. Feel the pain
We can exhaust ourselves fighting the pain. Allowing yourself to feel the pain rather than resist it sometimes can be very healing.
_got this from the net, uhm.. wala lang, just wanted to share it. =)

FALL AGAIN - GLENN LEWIS
FEELS LIKE FIRE , BURNS IN MY HEART
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT THAT WE SPEND APART
I NEED YOU AROUND FOR EVERY DAY TO START
I HAVEN’T LEFT YOU ALONE
SOMETHING ABOUT YOU ,STARING IN MY EYES
EVERYTHING LOOKING FOR I SEEM TO FIND
ALL THIS TIME AWAY IS KILLING ME INSIDE
I NEED YOUR LOVE IN MY LIFE
OH I WANNA SPEND TIME TILL IT ENDS
I WANNA FALL IN YOU AGAIN
LIKE WE DID ,WHEN WE FIRST MET
I WANNA FALL WITH YOU AGAIN
OHHHH
WE FOUGHT IN A BATTLE , NOBODY WON
NOW WE FACE A MOUNTAIN. TO BE OVERCOME
U CAN’T TURN AWAY, THE PAST IS SAID AND DONE
I NEED US TO CARRY ON
OH I WANNA SPEND TIME TILL IT ENDS
I WANNA FALL IN YOU AGAIN
LIKE WE DID ,WHEN WE FIRST MET
I WANNA FALL WITH YOU AGAIN
YEAHHH LA LA LA LA
WHOAA
YOU TRY EVERYTHING U NEVER THOUGHT WOULD WORK BEFORE
WHEN U LIVE WHEN U LOVE WHEN U GIVE WHEN U RUN U CAN ALWAYS GIVE UP SOME MORE
BABY NOTHING MEANS ANYTHING UNLESS YOU’RE HERE TO SHARE WITH ME
I CAN BREATHE I CAN LIVE I CAN DIE I CAN SLEEP
CUZ YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE IN MY DREAMS
OH I WANNA SPEND TIME TILL IT ENDS
I WANNA FALL IN YOU AGAIN
LIKE WE DID ,WHEN WE FIRST MET
I WANNA FALL WITH YOU AGAIN
I WANNA FALL WITH YOU AGAIN
FEELS LIKE FIRE , BURNS IN MY HEART
EVERY SINGLE MOMENT THAT WE SPEND APART
I NEED YOU AROUND FOR EVERY DAY TO START
I HAVEN’T LEFT YOU ALONE

♪ dandadadan.. birthday girl.Ühaay, there's soo much to say i dont even know where to start. well, my birthday this year turned out.. uhm.. great.fun.mixed emos. and all. aun, it was nearing 12 midnight, and i was waiting for 12 am greeters, one greeting unexpectedly came, 15 mins. early, i was of course anticipating it but i really didnt expected it would come that soon, it made me cry. mm.. ive had a very nice sleep as i cudve remembered, and woke up the next day with presents and letters from my family. i really had no plans of going out with anyone that day. but my friends, whom i soo love in the whole wide world had a party, uhm well, not so party for me in one of my friend's house. and so i went there, and they had ballons and party poopers na hindi gumana, haha! fake, and it was fun. of course, we've had lots of laugh trips at kulitan, and we ended up going to sm north because grets had to buy something and then headed off to starbucks to blow my cupcake. it was soo cute and with just that, i was really happy. aun, and then when i went home, a surprise cake which i really love (and which is actually the one i wanted for my birthday) nadatnan ko xa sa bahy and it was huge man! hehe.. anyways, it was soo yummy it just lasted for a week or so..
~kulet.. haha!
~best barkada in the whole wide world.
my last birthday, my debut was memorable. a very memorable one. not just because it was my debut, but it was when im celebrating it with someone. and now, i celebrated with without that someone and that really made my bday, uhm..somewhat lonely. BUT. thanks to my super flychic friends and family, they really made my bday worth celebrating because im with them. and with that, i realized na ang dame plang nagmamahal sken.. (aun, nagdrama na..hehe.) i mean, there's just soo much reasons for me to be happy that day because of the presence of the people around me that truly cares. and, i thank you from the bottom of my heart. =)
..im blowing my little treat. Ü
..realizing that i dont have you in my life right now is sad. so sad, that everyday i had to find a way to survive. but i still thank God for just about everything that's happening in my life right now, it made me strong and still filling me up with all that i'll ever need. and indeed, it's a blessing.
