to go the extra mile, to carry the extra load

with a cheerful heart and full trust in the Lord.

Whenever they learn that I work abroad, I know they think of me having a lot of money. What they don’t know is that I never enjoy my pay out because I have to send it right away to my loved ones. Most of the time, the only left for me is hope that everything will be fine soon.

*     *      *      *      *

Please promise me you'll wait for me and still love me

like the day & left all of you to work in another land.

Unfortunately, few overseas workers tend to have an affair abroad as they long for their husbands or wives. They fell into temptation as they hardly can’t resist their manly needs. Loneliness has consumed them so they had sought for someone to fill the absence of their partners. But most of such affairs had lead to having another family while abroad.

In my homeland, my wage is enough.

I try to work abroad so I can earn more money to give to my family with almost nothing left in my pocket. But sometimes I can’t understand why no matter how much I gave them, they still ask for more.

*     *      *      *      *

Many people don’t know how hard to work away from home. You can’t sleep at night because you the thought about your family linger through your mind. You can’t see your children growing and how well they do. Sometimes, telephone calls can’t suffice the day you miss them. Being an OFW entails you to sacrifices.

I gave up my precious time with my loved ones to take a chance of higher income abroad. The guilt of leaving them is in my heart. But whenever I think of it as an opportunity to give the best for them, I feel motivated.

"If your loved-one doesn't love you, don't complain.

You see, there are also people you don't love but love you...so call it even."

*     *     *      *     *

"If you wait for someone to flirt with you, nothing will actually happen in your life...

You must also initiate the flirting."

*     *     *      *     *

It's just like taking the elevator. Why would you cram yourself in if you know that there is no more room for you. There's always the stairs, you just don't want to acknowledge it.

Yes, it's true. You love someone who's already in love with another and there's one person who has been waiting for you all this time. Well, love triangle is excruciating and really hard to deal with. This situation can make you suffer because you can’t get things exactly the way you want them to. It’s like a roller coaster ride for you and this may take a long one for you.

"Why too much? Could it not be acceptable if we make thank you exactly just right?

It would be such a waste if we can’t use its surplus."

*     *     *      *     *

"Use your heart to care for a person who’s closest to you.

Use your brain to take care of yourself."

That’s how you should do it. These lines can be slap on the face of someone who hurt you. No matter how hard they try, some people can’t just refrain themselves from cheating. Getting betrayed or cheated by the person you love is really painful and it’s a difficult process before you can move on even after the infidelity or a relationship has ended. Once you found out that your boyfriend or girlfriend cheated on you, try to tell this message to them.

"Everybody would take love seriously if they are hit hard.

It's just that not all are strong enough to resist temptation."

If you love someone and he/she doesn't, just let it be.

Who knows that in the following days, you'd come to not like him/her anymore.

It's just a matter of who goes first.

*     *     *      *     *

It's hard to land a role in a person's life,

especially if you are not the protagonist in the script he/she chose.

*     *     *      *     *

Do you know how far the distance is between two people if they've already turn their backs on each other? You have to go around the whole world just to face again that person whom you have given up.

This makes sense. People tend to hold on to their relationships even if they are no longer happy. If you feel that the spark has gone and things will not work out anymore then take the first move. Parting ways could be the best option for the both of you.  Instead of enduring the pain, be brave enough to tell her/him that everything is not the same way it used to be. It could hurt but it will be worth it. Just let it go.

"Let go of the things that hurt you even if they make you happy.

Don't wait for that day when all that's left is the pain,

and the one who makes you happy left you."

*     *     *      *     *

"If you love two people, choose the second one.

It's because you wouldn't fall for another if you really love your first."

*     *     *      *     *

"The ears, if put together shaped like a heart.

Ears are the extension of the heart, so if you know how to listen,

you know how to love."

*     *     *      *     *

"Though not everything you thought is corny, really isn’t.

Sometimes it may be you who has no sense of humor and consistency

because you force yourself into becoming different."

Love can be defined in so many ways and it's not just about getting butterflies in your stomach. Well, it can also be a funny thing like watching a romantic comedy movie on a Saturday night that's bound to make you cry and laugh. How many of us wish that falling in love has traffic lights so that they would know if it's good to go, slow down or just stop? They might be stuck in traffic though. Have you heard that love is a form of amnesia which is common to girls? Yes, it can make you forget that there are other people in this world and not just you and him. So when he breaks up with you for no valid reason then move on because probably there's another guy out there waiting for you to be single again. Well, some relationships are like fat people, they don't work out.

so that I would know if I should GO for it
