The Pinoy Love Notes owe Tina this space for her email sent after the posting of the note regarding the absence of any response from them, Tina and Oliver, on the issue that was initiated last year just before the Holidays. Likewise, we apologize for the unfounded comment regarding this and this posting, we hope, would suffice as reprieve for Tina as well as Oliver.
“Forgive me guys for the silence, it was my effort to hid some of the comments I read from this site weighing each which would be fair to me as well as fair to whoever made the suggestion. I did thought of that instant when I decided to have this out on the net in desperation of making contact with Oliver again. From the comments as well as suggestions from everyone who dearly followed up my concern I thank you and wish you all good love in the New Year, may you all be spared from such a situation that I am in right now.
I am hoping still that Oliver would be able to get any of this messages even if there is no concern nor at the least intention to send back a note to let me and everyone else know that he’s still alive. Love is not expecting anything in return. Just want to know that he’s alright wherever he may be.”
A portion of an email that Tina sent in response to a previous note on this site.
Happy New Year to everyone! To my friends especially to Mark, who helped out to make it through the challenges of 2007, and for accompanying through the new year 2008, and also to Tina.
It was more than a challenge that I went through last year my friends. It was a test of will if I may call it that. A challenge, I would rather consider a mere dare that one has a choice to take or not. What I went through was a test of will, its a do or die situation. Left with no other choice but to move on I took the test to determine my endurance for life. With that sole option but with all my friends beside I was able to take the test and determined the extent of my will. It was a realization I never had before in my entire lifetime.
I loved and I thought that loving is giving up everything for love. I loved and I thought it was turning away from all that you believe in just to prove your love. I loved and firmly chained myself to it just to secure that love that I thought I could keep, but to my realization it was not what loving is. To love is to hope and to dream, as well. To love is to live ones life to the fullest as you would for someone you love. For what good would your life be to give out to someone that your life is preserved in a jar, preserved as it is but no life ahead of it. What would love be without that life outside of the jar, living and moving, and hoping and dreaming that there would be more ahead of today and tomorrow. For what is love today when there is no tomorrow.
