Regrets


Dear baby,

It has taken me days to write this letter to you. Please read it with care and the understanding that much thought went into it.
I miss the way we were. I wish with all my heart that there was some way that we could go back to the days where your eyes beheld me as the most beautiful woman you had ever seen, when your heart felt lighter in my presence, when the thought of me kept you warm on a cold night. I still feel this way about you.
I know that I am the one to blame for letting that light in your eyes die. I know that I messed up, that the things that I did were wrong, and I wish that there were something that I could do to go back in time and change them. I know what it's like to be hurt the way that I have hurt you. It hurt me to see the pain that I caused and not be able to do anything to make it better.
Now here we are, together again, but it doesn't feel the same. I know you still care for me, and even love me, but I wonder if you are ever going to forgive me for the past. How do we get past the hurt? What can I do for you to forgive me, to let me into your heart again, to earn back your trust and once again feel the fullness of your love?
I look back on all that I took for granted, and I only wish that I had appreciated it, and I know that if I had that back, I would work to keep it. I wouldn't push it away like I did then. I would bask in every moment of the radiance of your love. I want a chance to love you the right way, but I need you to let me in. The distance between us tears at my heart. It is there even when I am in your arms. Yes, I have suffered for my sins, the greatest suffering I have ever known: feeling as if I have lost you and your love. I am asking that you forgive me.
I remember a time when we kissed and touched each other for the shear pleasure of it. How we loved to be next to each other- HAD to be next to each other. We couldn't wait until you were in the door before we were holding on to one anther. The way that we would lay together, being both a pillow and a blanket for the other. We where all that we needed to feel safe and warm and happy. You are still all that I need.
Back then we couldn't keep our hands off each other. On our way to here or there, me beside you, my head on your shoulders and my hands exploring your body. You loved it when I would whisper in your ear as we were going down the road. You singing, me smiling at your lightheartedness. God I miss you, and those times we had together. The times we would stop off too look at flowers along the road, or to stare at the stars in the middle of the night. Or, even to have some off-beat sexual adventure on the side of the highway. It was as if, once together, we couldn't resist one another.
We've decided to stay together, I'm glad of that, but what I really want is the chance to do it right, to make it stronger and better than it ever was. I want the chance to prove that I've changed, that I can be trustworthy, honest, open, giving, and understanding. I know I have a lot to do before I earn back that trust, but I'd like the chance to try. Love is what makes the difficult easy, and the impossible possible. I know that I am asking for the impossible- to be forgiven.
I long for the days when my touch affected you; made your heart race and your breathing quicken. When everything within you longed to pull me close. There was a fire in your eyes then, a hunger that I miss. Roses and candlelight may be fine for some, but romance is not what I desire, it is passion that I yearn for, passion that I feel I must have in my life, in your eyes. Time, hurt, and betrayal have erased that passion, but my desire for it is strong. I would do anything to feel desire burning through you as you take me in your arms.
I look at you now with new eyes. I have a new appreciation for the wonderful things about you that once I took for granted, and the beauty of a face that reflects both the man I love and my most loyal and dearest friend. No longer can I take you for granted, you are too important to me, too precious on every level; my best friend, the man I love; the one whose heart I once held in my hands. If only I had treated it right then, I know that I would hold it still.
The words of a song keep floating through my head, "If ever you're in my arms again, this time I'll love you much better. If ever you're in my arms again, this time I'll hold you forever. This time will never end." Even though you are in my arms, I know that you don't trust me with your heart. If ever I have the chance again, I would indeed do it so much better. But I just don't know if that chance will ever come. Will there ever be anything more than a reluctant reconciliation? I long for so much more. I need so much more. Maybe I have no right to need it, but I do. 
With regrets of the past, and hopes for the future, I love you,


loving you,
michelle

To the person i really love!!!

Dear hmmm,


Things are hard right now, and they seem to just be a big blurry mess. But I dont blame you for any of it. I know this is both of our faults so I dont expect you to say or do anything. I know that we are trying to fix all the screwed up things in our lives right now, and I hope we do get to make everything all better again. I am only truely happy when I am with you. Your presence just lights up my world. Everything I am and everything I have is dependant upon you. I am sorry for the way I have mistreated you in the past and I know you are sorry for mistreating me. We can be happy together if we work everything out, which I think we will. You are everything to me and I love you with all my heart. I hope I can learn to open up to you and let you know how I feel. I also hope that you will be able to recognize when something is wrong. But no matter what we do or where we go, I will love you. I will always love you, Baby. You mean the world to me, and I hope that things will go back to normal. 

Love Always,

kiwz

Without You


Without You


By: Michelle Santiago
 AND


You’re gone,
Yet here I am.
All alone,
Suffering.
I tried my best
To go on without you,
And the worst part is,
That you still love me, too.
You are gone,
But our love is still there.
I was wrong,
And I’m now in despair.


Yet, in all of my sadness, I’ve found,
That though my feet are truly bound,
Life goes on; we have to keep moving.
To me, this is something that’s worth proving.
Forever I’ll love you.
That is the truth.
But I have to keep going
With or without you.

Another Lie


Another Lie

By: Michelle

My mind is fully occupied with memories..
My imagination is having a journey to the past..
Seems so hard to step ahead and move on..
After all u did,i really need a shoulder to cry on..

U give me life..
U give me hope..
U let me feel love,now u let me bleed for it alone..
After all the mess we went through together..
U show me that u’re just another lie..

Now I’m looking out the window..
The weather seems to understand..
The feelings i have in this heart..
Dark and raining..
And again..
I really need a hand to hold on..

U give me life..
U give me hope..
U let me feel love,now u let me bleed for it alone..
After all the mess we went through together..
U show me that you’re just another lie..



The tears i cry for u..
The breath i breathe for u..
All become a waste..
A regret that u generate..
After u treated me without respect..

U give me life..
U give me hope..
U let me feel love,now u let me bleed for it alone..
After all the mess we went through together..
U show me that you’re just another lie..

Now you’re already gone..
U walked away from my life..
Together u bring with u..
My smile, my laughter, my heart, my soul..
Being so heartless..
U left without saying goodbye..


Go It Alone

Go It Alone

By: Michelle santiago

I trusted you
Believed in what you said
And you played me.
I was willing to love you,
Be there for you,
Trust you;
And you hurt me.
You've lost out
Cause I'm the good thing
You'll never have another chance with
I'm the good thing
You'll never have.
And now when I see you,
You'll receive no smile.

WhY yOu HuRt Meh??


I must go it alone
All on my own
and believe in myself
Cause I'm all I have.
And who I become
Depends only on me
Cause I'm all I have
To rely on to live

Words are just words
That hold no meaning
to the ones who don't feel
and don't care.

And now I must go it alone
On my own
I don't
need anyone
to make me feel
whole
to determine my self-worth
I don't need
anyone
I've got myself.

I Love You

I Love You

by: Jennifer Rush



I love your eyes.
Everytime I look into them,
I am lost.
I fall deeper and deeper into the spell they cast upon me.
I can't help but look.

I love you smile.
Everytime you smile at me,
I feel the warmth of the sun shinning down on me.
It warms me more than cuddling in front of a brand new fire.
I can't help but smile back.

I love your kisses.
Everytime your lips touch mine,
I feel an endless stream of passion.
It sends me on a journey, a journey in which I do no mind taking.
I can't help but kiss you.

I love your touch.
Everytime your skin touches mine,
I feel the most enlivening feeling I have ever felt.
It is the feeling of a pounding heart and a shivering soul.
I can't help but touch you.

I love everything about you.......

Together As One

Together As One

True poem by Anime Lover


The ocean so lovely
The sun about to set
I gaze into your misty eyes
You make my heart flutter
Your arms wrap around me
You pull me in closer
My heart against yours
Yours against mine
They beat as one
Laying my head on your shoulder
I whisper in your ear
"I Love You"


In return you lean in for a kiss
Ending the day
Together as one...

You Ask Me If I Love You

You Ask Me If I Love You

By Shynebrite



You ask me if I love you,

and I ask myself how to begin

to share with you

the feelings in my heart.



You inspire in me a love so deep

words cannot describe it,

so powerful that it overwhelms

my every thought.

You ask me if I love you,
and I wish there were a way
you could just see into my soul
and find the depth of passion,
tenderness, and love
that holds you closer to my heart
than anyone or anything else.
 

Heart of Hearts

Heart of Hearts












by: Elaine
My heart has hurt

My heart has burned
and it has melted

It has sunk
and it has been lifted

My heart has been cold
and it has been warm

It has been mended
and it has been broken

But of all the things my heart has felt
The best thing is...

PLACES OF INTEREST
A brief history of canlaon city


Old folks of Canlaon mention of a pair
 of ill-starred lovers Princess Laon and Kang who were forced to elope to keep their warring chieftain fathers from breaking them apart. Unfortunately, the lovers were captured and doomed to die amidst the harsh conditions of the wilderness. 

From their deathbed rose Malaspina, a fabled volcano intermittently spewing lava. It was later called Canlaon, considered one of the highest peaks in the Philippines, rising at 8,000 feet above sea level.
In the olden times, Canlaon was known as Sitio “Mabigo” of Barrio Panubigan,which was then under the Municipality of Vallehermoso, a place where bigo trees abound. This wilderness area was ruled by a native chieftain called “Saniko.” 

Later on , Mabigo became part of the sprawling property of Don Diego de la ViƱa in Vallehermoso. The area soon gained prominence as a hub of commerce and agriculture as migrants from Cebu, Bohol and Panay settled in the area. In 1941, an Ilocano geodetic engineer, Isidro Bautista Sr., who married a dela ViƱa girl, Natividad, along with Mabigo residents filed a petition urging the national governmen
t for Mabigo’s conversion into a municipality. However, war in the Pacific broke out and dimmed all hopes for the township. 

October 11, 1946 saw the creation of the Municipality of Canlaon, when then President Manuel Roxas issued Executive Order No. 19 declaring the separation of Mabigo and its surrounding sitios from Vallehermoso. Isidro Bautista Sr., became the first mayor of the municipality of Canlaon. 

Republic Act No. 3445 created the Chartered City of Canlaon on June 18, 1961. 
Its inauguration as a city came by virtue of Executive Order No. 193 issued by then President Ferdinand Marcos on July 2, 1967


Mount Kanlaon 
The most imposing landmark in the island of Negros and one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines. At 2,415 meters above sea level Mt Kanlaon has the highest peak in Central Philippines. Experienced climbers consider this a "major climb, with a difficulty level of 7/9, and trail class 2-4" 



One of the attractions of Mt. Kanlaon is the Sudlon waterfalls and Margaha Valley, the volcano’s former crater, which is located just below the base of the present-day active crater.


Makawiliwili Ridge 
Also known as the “Saddle in the Sky”, the ridge is located between two mountain peaks almost 8000 feet above sea level, and frequently used by scientists and climbers as vantage point in observing the two craters of Kanlaon Volcano.


Mayon Zigzag
A portion of the highway from the junction of Barangay Bagawines where the road ascends in a zigzag, affording a changing panoramic view of the blue waters of TaƱon Strait and the island of Cebu, and hugging the foothill dwellings of farmers like toy houses surrounded by cornfields. The climb ends in Barangay Tagbino of Canlaon City.


Adudusan Natural Water Slide 
One of Canlaon’s numerous falls has carved a natural water slide that is popular among trekkers


Inyawan Enchanted Falls
Flows 100 feet off Inyawan River at the edge of a forest. Cold and clear waters cascade downstream to join Masaulog River; accessible by road.


Quipot Falls
Bottle-shaped cascade about 100 feet; largest of three neighboring waterfalls fed by Binalbagan, Malaiba and Linothangan tributaries. Deep basin ideal for swimming and boating.


Oldest Tree
Reportedly the oldest tree in the Philippines, this huge balete tree is estimated to be more than a thousand years old. llluminated by thousands of fireflies at night, it has been called the "Wonder Tree" and is definitely a sight to behold.


Camp Mapot and Mountain Park
A verdant plateau situated 5,000 feet above sea level, first developed as a health camp, with pine trees, streams and hillside springs, rare flora and fauna, and with temperature and scenery reminiscent of Baguio’s City. Camp Mapot is a part of the Mt. Kanlaon National Park, a favorite of nature trekkers.
