tea bags,,,cast me not..from the ONE LEGGED ANGEL
Saturday, July 19, 2008
here's another THANK YOU round to my ever loyal 'fans' ( naks! don't deny...i know you missed me..=) kidding aside, i wanted to circulate a large individualistic THANK YOU to everyone. however, there is no way i can type up hundreds of emails nor a personal HANDWRITTEN love letter to everyone who thought of me and wished me to get well and sent their prayers and love during the recent surgical procedures i've go through. in every language, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[[although, i was able to allot and squeeze some "loveletters" a few people along the way---ya'll know who you are---hope you got it]]

a removal of some parts of your physical body and also losing some functions to your existng body made me realize how important it is to take care of ourselves and to be thankful for the LIFE God gave me. some of you knew and watched me go through the difficulties i underwent for years now. my elongated path to living and healing is not a joke: itching weeks of wearing cemented casted extremities relying on crutches to take you from point A to point B, the excruciating nerve, muscle, joint pains, sleepless aching nights, countless episode of vomiting to name a few. the truth is, i can enlist arrays of multiple symptoms i feel everyday, or the existence of the strongest medicines on earth i take just hoping and wishing to make all the discomforts and side effects perished, or the multiplying medical treatments, outnumbered diagnostic procedures i received just to obtains congruent solution to the twinge i face persistently everyday. THE LISTs CAN GO ON...but i simply masked the pain away and SMILE or joke it off as most of you who knew me noticed.

truth is, i am simply tired of fighting sometimes. beyond one legged crutch walking & leg cementing, faking a painful smile is even more exhausting. sometimes, i think of how others would respond if they were in my shoes. for most part, it gets insanely torturing. the demands of your daily survival is a constant battle. and the hardest part of it all is NOT knowing when the tormenting war within your physical, emotional, and mental body will end.

it is during these darkest moments when i realized i am still fortunate, after all. my Lord blessed me with extraordinary strength and persistence to live and fight all the battles from which i derived and often absorb from GREAT INFLUENCES in people like you. from YOUR outpouring LOVE, jolly spirits and conjoined LIMITLESS prayers, i am empowered that LIFE is worth every battle i need to face.

they said, " TRUE LOYAL FRIENSHIPS are like TEA BAGS. You'll never know HOW STRONG THEY TASTE until YOU DIPPED them inHOT BOILING WATER. " so to me, you're my TEA BAGS...for lack of a better word, far beyond gratefulness, from the deepest depth of my heart, I AM forever THANKFUL for HAVING YOU for BEING THERE when the sun shines but even better,FOR BEING THERE when the rain pours.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

at the end of all of these, i know, without hesitency, my Lord will return the favor to all of you as I pray to HIM, my Lord, my master healer, to keep you healthy and protected in HIS watchful eye and return the outours of BLESSING back to you.

GOD LOVES YOU...
SO DO I.

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.
