Steadfast

You know how He said that you should be steadfast and true? Why is it then, that when you are, you are accused of being emotionless and that your speech is devoid of feeling? 


Why is it that when you choose to be strong in light of what you truly want to achieve, They become inconstant and wavering? 


You say my eyes can be empty, but you do not see that they reflect only yours and that they hold the world for you.  That these eyes see straight through to you and that they hold nothing but love.


When I was young, I was nothing but emotion. Now that I am a man, I choose to commit and to act.


You may say that love is a feeling.  I believe that love is a decision--that it is a choice.


Whatever happens from here on in. I will not waver from that which I have set my heart on nor will I ever forget my own reasons.


You asked me how I knew, I shrugged and said there are times when you just know and somewhere inside you irrevocably decide as you've recognized your other. You said it was the same for you.


Whatever challenges this day brings, I tell you, I remain steadfast and true.  I show you, that I love you.

Coral: This was one of my favorite fairy tales when I was a small boy. In the introduction, the narrator enthuses: 


     "All the soldiers looked exactly alike except one. He looked a little different as he had been cast last of all. The tin was short, so he had only one leg. But there he stood, as steady on one leg as any of the other soldiers on their two. But just you see, he'll be the remarkable one."


Be steadfast and true when you find her. It will see you through.

A Wedding Invitation From The Heart

These passages are taken from a real wedding invitation slated for Saturday, 25 January, 2009 at Pulilan, Bulacan. The wedding invitation is ink jet printed in cursive font on shiny pink board with a Friendster pic of the couple (plus it's scented and tied with a pink bow).



Wedding Prayer
Lord, from the very start you have been our wishes. We had our rough yet yove been there binding us, guiding us and lighting our relationship with love and guidance. Our union is in your hand, offer it, and owe love in your name. Without your love we are nothing and this very special moment would have never taken place. We ask for your constant light and shield us we initiate in our new life together. Be with us always been with You.

From The Groom
Have you as my wife. You who always understand inspire and care much. With great LOVE. I share with you my life inspirations and everything. Together and I as one.




From The Bride
Love. Through those times you have inspired me in so many ways. You are so much a part of me and part of my happiness. Today when I look at you. I feel even more love than I've ever felt before...I'll leave in your hands, my future, my life and my love. From now on it would be no longer be mine but ours.



Actually, It didn't make me laugh to be honest. So what if the actual card makes you want to slap the printer? Yes, they could have had the invitation done in Filipino, that would have been safer, but so what? The invitation was from the heart. If given the chance, I probably would not choose pink though.

*In a fit of drunken rage, a relative tried to edit the thing, hence the slash marks. And uh, apparently, you can click on the pictures to blow them up. Erk.
