Top 3 Romantic Movie Quotes

So you know Jerry Maguire's "You complete me" thingy. What other romatic movie lines scattered like wildfire?

For me, the top 3 romantic quotes include:

  1. "So it's not gonna be easy, it's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I'm willing to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday." - Duke of The Notebook (2004)

    "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever." - excerpt from Noah's letter to Allie

  2. "You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine." - Yvaine of Stardust (2007)


  3. "This is the story of the first and last time I fell in love of a beautiful, complicated, and fascinating woman who inhabit my soul. I am pretty sure you gonna leave me tomorrow, so I better say this when I have a chance. Whether we are together or apart, you will always be the woman of my life, the only man I will always envy is the man who wins your heart. Now I will always believe that it is my destiny to be that man. If we never see each other again, you are out walking one day and you feel certain presence beside you… that will be me, loving you wherever I am." - excerpt from Charlie's letter to Jordan, My Sassy Girl (2008)

I Asked..

Confused why your prayers are left unanswered? Don't blame God. There are just 3 answers: YES, NO and WAIT. If it's a big NO, read this inspiring poem...

I Asked...

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey…

I asked for health, that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things…

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise…

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God…

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things…

I got nothing I asked for –But everything that I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken words were answered.
I am, among all, most richly blessed!


God is all-knowing (omniscient). We have no right to judge his plans. We are just His creatures and His plans are much much better than ours.

Kick-Off-Mania

Last day of my CRC review. They are ready to take the BAR. If I am to ask myself: Am I ready for the kill? My answer will be in the negative. The thought of it sends me goose bumps.

08/08/08 - So?


What's so significant about this day? 08/08/08. Triple 08. Nice number and nice repetition.

Sometimes it's astounding to know the relation of numbers to some events in our society. Numerologists would surely agree.
But sometimes numbers are senseless. Yeah. Oftentimes, we expect that something big will happen just because it is a good day according to numerologists. To your dismay, not everything will fall into the right place.

I won't say stop wishing. Just make things happen. It's all in the mind. And it doesn't stop there. Trust me.

Unrealized Christianity

"I like Christ but I hate Christians who are not Christ-like" - Mahatma Gandhi

In one of his sermons, I heard a priest say: Gandhi once said "Christians claim their lives have been saved by Christ but their lives won't show it."

Yes it's true. Christians (myself included) say that they believe and love Christ. But their actions show the contrary.

Christianity we know today took centuries to congeal and be codified into regulated practice. For a long time, there were a variety of groups, calling themselves Christians, who believed a number of different things about Christ. We might never have known the full extent of this variety were it not for the discovery of some ancient texts.

"Seeing is believing." But God calls us to a life of faith that says, "believing is seeing."

Because of our non-biblical worldview, we are ignorant of the spiritual realm. If you look around you will see blind obedience amongst Christians. Believing is understanding. But can we say we believe when we don't understand ecclesiastical concepts? Much fear usually comes from ignorance. If we don't know how very BIG our God is and just how tiny our enemy is, then we can never really understand. Satan intimidates us a little and many back off or retreat. What do we do now?

All we have to etch in our mind is how to live the four spiritual laws:

1. God loves us and offers a wonderful plan for our life.

2. Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.

3. Christ is God's only provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.

4. We must individually receive Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.

Faith no less than works must characterize the perfect Christian. Faith can move mountains. But without action, it is nothing.
