Message from a Libra Venus

By
I’ve encountered many beautiful and intelligent women in my life but I didn’t feel any love for them. There was always something lacking. 

The joys of conversing with a smart lady often brightens my day but the connection ends as is, and no more. A beautiful lady I could always gaze on like the stars in a moonless night; yet, I couldn’t even begin to talk to her.

You are different. There is this something between us that continuously binds us despite us being opposite in so many ways. I can feel in you something I do not feel with others. We always have conversations that lead us to some sensual act, and your beauty is not only for my eyes to see but to touch and feel.

I’ve never met anyone like you before. With you I can feel a love that’s not a stagnating constant, but one that moves, that grows branches and twigs, that takes deeper roots, and blooms. But despite this, my feelings for you do not overwhelm me like an intimidating tide that washes me into the tempests of confusion. Yours is that which makes me feel comfortable as if I’m resting my head on a soft and fragrant pillow, while keeping my reality intact. 

I know you are not just a dream. Even if our world seems dreamy, I know it is real. That you are real, but someone different and unique, is a resonating sound in the deepest recesses of my heart – the beat that continuously produces harmonies and melodies in my daily activities and routines. 

‘Love’ is a four-letter word meant to be imagined by those who have not experienced it. But I see its intricate details, its contrasting colors. I hear its softness. I sense its gentleness and tenderness. I feel its joys whenever you are with me. 

I will not say the message you want to hear from me. I will play this music so that you will not hear it but feel it instead…

But, cut it, I wanted to tell you “I love you…”

    It is beautiful to be in love. Being able to express your thoughts and feelings through writing makes it more powerful to strike the readers’ emotions.

    Loving someone also means going beyond your safe zone. Tell her and take a leap of faith! <3

    I hope you would take the risk, because the pain of regrets is more than the pain of failure.

    One would be so much grateful and flattered with 'her' being your subject in your writing. Also, falling and staying in love are one of the most unforgettable experiences in life. To feel the love of someone is sometimes too pleasurable..it makes your days and nights go. But it would be so much greater when we tell them how we feel. It is an act of validation that could lead to a lot of outcomes. But who cares? The joy of having to tell someone that you love them would bring so much satisfaction. Love would always be love, either in one way or two way process. Just a push to the edge tip from an experience in life: we think there is always so much time but there isn't. Love to the fullest everyday!

    Pack up your courage to express what you feel about her. If you are meant to be, then no matter what happens you will be for her and she will be for you. After all, love wins!

    I believe love exists even if you can't say it to someone but it is better to be said than to keep it all by yourself because what if she also feels the same? Have courage and say those magical words to the girl who gave you a magical feeling, sir! <3

    It's nice how you found meaning to the word 'love', aside from His love that saves us from death. Reading your message, one can say that she is lucky, and so are you. Tell her and show her how you feel!

    PS. Bach's music is really romantic (and so Chopin's) lol

    People say that love is blind. I disagree. We never see any clearer than when we are in love— never more certain nor more courageous. This piece is as amazing as love itself.

    Two people who are meant for each other would not feel absolute bliss until they are finally in the arms of one another. Hearts, even though full of love, would still bear a sense of vacancy, where each of them would feel incomplete and only the act of togetherness would fill this void. Both have one missing soulmate; one that although not lost in a geographical sense, was most definitely lost in a sense of belonging – because in truth without being with one another, these two people wouldn't feel as if they belong anywhere. So, if you think she's the one, don't wait too long. Fill your heart by being with the one you love. Set your feelings into action and tell your girl how much you love her :)

    I couldn't agree more!!! Love is truly powerful for an 18 year old boy. I've been in love since 14 and I can say, love brought me into greater heights, the affection and inspiration I get from her is what keeps me going despite of all the difficulties I'm facing, and sometimes, there are no words fit to describe my feelings. That's also when I finally knew that its no longer about how we utter things right to pay back the love we get but how we do it just enough to show our's. Just as how she does it.❤💯

    There is a saying that goes like this:
    "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

    Let love make the both of you stronger. And have enough courage to express what you truly feels while you still have the chance coz chances aren't unlimited.

    Love, they say, always starts with friendship and this letter shows the undeniable kind of love someone has for another. The words used to describe her really shows that he is beyond intrigued and amazed by her very existence.

    It is quite hard to witness this kind of act nowadays but surely, there are still rare moments like this that will bring us back to the idea of love.
    I hope she'll be able to read this❤

    ‪there’s no such thing as being completely ready, right? like what other people said here, have the courage. i feel like the more what-ifs we have in our lives, the harder. sometimes, we choose to hide what we truly feel just bc we don’t want to lose something familiar. but, how will this welcome new chapters? not being able to say what’s there in your heart is the worst. ‬

    You love her, you need and want her, you know almost everything about her but she doesn’t and I think that love is the most difficult(miserable) kind of love that you’ll ever experience. You need enough courage and strength to be able to endure everything and love unconditionally without expecting something in return. But how can you do that? I don’t know but I think if you keep that up it’ll eventually eat you up and might even kill you. You’ll be trapped and won’t be able to move on. So even though a silent love is the most genuine kind of love you still have to say it and let it be known. And maybe, just maybe you'll find your own happiness.

    Love is truly a powerful thing; it can heal the scars of the past and make you whole again, but it can also be the reason for your pain. All relationships are a struggle, but there can never be true love without a fight.

    Love is certainly perceived as something mysterious or unexplainable. As i have read into the article and have a peek into your eyes, I see a love so pure and shrouded by inncocence. As i read into it, i cannot help but become breathless due to it being so relatable. This is a beautiful article and i hope everyone gets a chance to read this and experience “this” kind of love. It’s majestic and simply beautiful.

Romantic Beige Sand Beaches Near Mayon Volcano

  We were entranced... We sailed the eastern seas off the coast of Albay Province for our weekend getaway. Every time we see a beige sand beach common in the area, the enigmatic Mayon Volcano peers over the scenery. There were many of these beaches, appearing every once in a while, with the dazzling volcano in each and every view. I will never forget this past weekend for each turn had a magnificent scene looming in the horizon --- from isle to isle, from coast to coast, from beach to beach!

After making our way to Cagraray Island via Sula Bridge, I felt as though we already left the country. I've never been outside Luzon Island since before the pandemic so leaving Luzon already feels like traveling abroad. On Cagraray Island, we saw magnificent views of the many islands dotting the eastern seas of Albay, but it was the Tambilagao Port where the get

         The Philippines, a large archipelago of 7,641 islands, is endowed with many natural wonders and surprises. These multitudes of gifts from Mother Nature, however, seem to be found on the islands’ farthest ends.          Would you like to know what can be seen in these far-and-beyond places?

La Dolce Vita 🇮🇹🇻🇦🇲🇨 🍸

September 2023.  My birthmonth, my birthyear. I was born in the year of the hare, so 2023 - being another year of the hare - had to be special.  Everybody knows of my Euro Tour with my aunt and my sister, but, contrary to what most people think, the tour was not at all premeditated. It was a split-second decision. So many countries were considered. Spain and Portugal came to mind. Thailand seemed plausible. Nearby Indonesia was considered, and because Singapore was close enough, it was also suggested. Malaysia came into the radar too. But, not until visas have been approved or airline tickets were bought, nothing was final. And then, out of the blue, I heard my aunt and my sister talk about a possible Euro Tour on no other month but September, which is my birthmonth, I immediately asked if I could go with them. "Sure," said my aunt! Our Euro Tour crossed different parts of Italy together with Vatican City, and as we sojourned to affluent Monaco, we also witnessed the beauty o

Mesmerizing Monaco 🇲🇨

  La Condamine, Monaco We were almost done with our Euro Tour, but our last stop - unbeknownst to us - would make our escapade even grander exponentially. Monaco is indeed the wealthiest, most affluent nation in the world... and the dollars are speaking from amongst everything you see in every corner of this miniscule country. It is beautiful, it is organized, it is spotless! If we saw tiny bits of candy wrappers and cigarette butts in very few places in Italy, we didn't see any gram of litter in all of Monaco! Beautiful Nightscape of Monaco with Late 19th Century Buildings Perfect. Flawless.  I have said several times that perfection is unattainable, but our stay in the microstate of Monaco proved me wrong. In the billions of square miles all over the world, there is one tiny country where perfection is, surprisingly, a reality. Arrival Our Bus from Nice, France 🇫🇷 to Beausoleil, France 🇫🇷 It was September 14th, my sister's birthday, when we flew from Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 to N

The Vatican: A Divine Enclave 🇻🇦

St Peter's Square, 12 September 2023. The Vatican. The smallest nation on earth is also the holiest. Roman Catholic Church, the largest religion in the world, has its capital in the micro-state of Vatican City.  We visited its hallowed grounds during our Rome explorations. It is officially my fourth country after the Philippines, U.A.E., and Italy. We were there by a couple of hours on two separate days while still staying in Rome. Despite its small size, the Vatican is grand in many respects. No less than the pope is its sovereign head. Its main basilica is massive. And of course, several ancient artifacts and paintings are kept within its hallowed halls. Arrival One of the alleys we passed by on our way to Vatican. Completely surrounded by the larger city of Rome in Italy, the Vatican can be accessed by mere walking. You just need to present your passport before entry. No need for plane or bus tickets. Even on our way, we saw instagrammable sights We haven't taken our breakfa

An Everlasting Pulchritude

The beauty that still mesmerises us Of the mountain who used to be a lass Every time we set our eyes on her Something makes us wonder For how can Mother Nature be so gracious To give us something which, though, we need not choose Is, nevertheless, spectacular That no other mountain is at par? She’s beyond magnificent Though she explodes every now and then Her many eruptions Conjured rousing captions What would scare us to leave? The magma? The raining of ash? The broken debris? The boulders? Or the lava-fountaining and showers? But these are the same matters That add to the volcano’s wonders Because from a safe distance You would see some other-worldly trance... For tourists and visitors, Even to locals and natives, Its explosion and eruption Are tourist attractions Why are we not afraid then, Do you ever wonder? Because we always see her… As a beautiful lady with the usual temper. But at most times, she’s calm and collected,

At the End of the Labyrinthine Tunnel

By
  This is the third chapter of the historical fantasy entitled " Rhapsody of Nature ." Synopsis:   The magnificent cave exhibited more than just resplendence, and the end of it dazzled the spectator... White, blue and gold were all he could see. They're everywhere, from where he stood... to the farthest his sight could reach. As he moved along, the rose petals slowly vanished, until it was very light but with a much sweeter tinge. "Seems like a big cave," he uttered in disbelief. He wanted to see more, ever-curious he has always been. The hunger, that the old man was missing, and the discomfort didn't seem to bother him at all. As he continued, the yellow frogs began making noises. One by one, they called. High pitched, each sound was like a xylophone beat. High pitches they started but the sounds slowly mellowed down. Brief moments later, the undulating notes transitioned with more texture, until both high and low notes chorused like chords. He later heard

Is Love a Constant –

By
Regardless of mood or circumstance, it remains? And when it fades because of a tweak here or there, it is but a mirage? I guess I’ve felt what it’s supposed to be – for ladies I cannot be with. It’s the emotion I feel when I see someone to be perfect or perfectly beautiful despite the flaws because for no reason but love, her allegorical scars – the mistakes of God – are forgiven. The feeling doesn’t change. It's a constancy of company and connection, a perspective that endures day by day, moment by moment, even after years or decades passing by. Because I see her in exactly the same way as the day we met, and the more we get to know each other, I unravel more things I like about her, all justifying the imperfections, and giving me memories that add spice to mundane moments. I may have sought the wrong women, looked love in the wrong places, defined it by wrong standards. Age does not matter, everybody says. But my youth is done; my potentials to develop young, sweet

A Surprising Turn in the Yuletide Season

By

          The 2018-19 Holiday Season was particularly amusing for our family.  On Christmas Eve, my sister prepared a cheesecake with fruit medley overlay.  I should mention that she has this special ability in preparing foods.  Christmas 2018. Our family unwrapping the gifts. My sister was holding our pet cat Chloe Ands.           Since childhood, she always had this distinct talent in concocting delicious meals for the family; every dish she completes seems to have an artist’s touch. I still remember the taste of the dishes and foods she prepared as a child – from those simple hotdog-cheese-catsup toasts to angel-hair spaghetti.            She doesn’t disappoint so I was certain that this cheesecake with fruit medley overlay was going to be splendid.  On the midnight of Christmas, the cheesecake was still too soft for consumption so my sister placed it back inside the fridge. Just in time for dinner the following day, the cheesecake had already toughened up i

Christmas Star 2020 & Christ's Second Coming

By
Image
  A rare occurrence signaling the second coming of Christ? This was the Christmas Star of 2020, which also made appearance during Christ's birth. Photo Credit: Dr. Gregorio S. Tan Some pastor believes that the second coming of Christ is near, citing the recent conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter, which has been the closest in 800 years. The conjunction was so close, it appeared as though the two planets were a big, bright star. It doesn't seem to be a mere coincidence, he believes, as the rare sight also appeared near Christ's birth around 6 B.C. He takes this as a sign that the messiah is set to set foot on earth once more. Although the bible is clear that Christ will be back after several years, it is also explicit that nobody knows when that time will come, not even the angels nor even Jesus himself. Despite this, there have been several dates predicted for that --- one was even as early as 500 A.D. However, you will also read a bible verse saying that that appointed
