marry me

diane, one of my best girl pals, just got married to lorenz just last saturday.

maya said she might be pregnant. so marriage with mr. avila are in the talks.

i saw sheila when she stopped by at work just the other day. i just noticed a diamond and a wedding ring on her finger. "i'm married, " she stated, "to abel ( her bf of one year)."

grace married bong in june 2003 and is now 6 months pregnant.

merryl got married one month after grace did. both are my gal pals in high school.

mickey, my guy pal, married lani because the baby os on the way last year.

charm married shane last two years when they went hoem to the philippined for vacation.

ate jenni ( mny coworker) married her husband last year in las vegas.

maff... was once married to....never mind his name. NOT ANYMORE!


for the past few days, everyone is getting married. and as usual, i am always the bride's maid never the bride. either that or the discussions are about getting married and married life. and don't get me wrong. i am happy for these people. i am glad they have found forever and love in each other presence.

it's just...i feel left out.

i don't know what to say. when i watched diane get married this weekend, it has hit me. when i listened to how lorenz talked about how it was love at first sight for him and how he courted diane every singe day for 6 months and how after 6 months into the relationship, he knew it was diane for him, i pitied myself.

the decisions i made in my past relationships lingered again. why i let the men go? was it a mistake? was it meant to be? was it the best decision for me or for both of us? will i be happy had i go through with it? am i happy now?...

am i?

all these lingerings in my head over and over. it's rewinding unstoppable. and i began to hurt. for instance, memories of glenn proposing to me to marry him came back. the ring he used to propose to me is now own by a different woman in his life. another instance is when mrs. park (ron's mom) told me recently that when ron and her talked about me before, ron said he will marry this woman ( reffering to me) whose "just like his mother, a nurse." then when jason told me when we were in las vegas that "we can do anything, we can get married an no one will ever know. whatever we do in vegas, stay in vegas."

i wondered how it will be like.

at the mall, i felt out of place. i watched as the couples walked hand in hand . i looked at the floor. at work, i met the patient in room 52. and she's been there 2 months because of the complications in surgery and her husband stays with her every single day makign sure she's well. at home, i observe papa take mom to her car and opens her car door and kisses her goodbye every single time she goes to work at night.

then i dreamed.

when will he come? he...the man meant for me. yeah, he, the one i dreamed to have long strolls with, the one who like the patient's husband, stays every night to take care of his wife, the one, who like my dad, will open my door and walk me to the car every time.

sigh.

the Lord has something plan for me. so once again...

*sigh*

once again, my Lord, i will wait.

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
