Moving On After A Heartbreak

angel on Mar-17-2009

heal-a-broken-heart.jpgMoving on from a heartbreak is bittersweet. It’s a mixture of pain, sadness, longing, relief, exhaustion, hopefulness and a sense of freedom. There are a lot of things that we could learn from a heartbreak, if only we allow ourselves to really look deep down and uncover these lessons. For one thing, I’ve learned to NEVER EVER take myself for granted. No matter how much we love someone, we should never lose ourselves in the relationship. We should always retain our sense of self, so that no matter what happens, we we are still intact. Love is beautiful, love is also complicated. But we should never ever give up on it!

Love is a “message”. And it is brought to us by “messengers”, or the people who come into our lives that love us and we feel love for. When the message of love comes to us, we should receive it with open hearts. But when it decides to leave, we should also set it free. Don’t mistake the “messenger” with the “message”. Because messengers are only humans; they make mistakes, they leave, they even die. But the MESSAGE remains. It was brought to us, and it will always be THERE, resounding in our hearts for the rest of our lives. We just have to open our hearts and hear the message.

When love decides to leave, it has nothing to do with you and me as a person. We are no less than who we are just because love decides to leave. Yes, we cry over it and grieve its departure, but after the grieving process, we should celebrate. Let’s celebrate because the message CAME to us, we felt the love, the happiness, the joy. We have learned what we have to learn. It has done it’s purpose and now we have to set it free. This is what MOVING ON means.

Finest Love Duets

angel on Feb-13-2009

Since it’s Valentine’s day tomorrow… let’s set the mood with some love duets. Like I said, music and love goes hand in hand, for me. So romantic duets are really great for that loving mood. I’ve compiled a few of the finest love duets I find really beautiful and I’d like to share them with you guys. I didn’t include modern love duets. This list is just for duets that have withstood time and are timeless in my opinion. I love these tracks. They celebrate love just like any other love songs but they’re different in the sense that there’s a female and a male bringing life to the songs. Lovers. Although I’m not really too big on Valentine’s day (I think some people just use it as an excuse to show love, when everyday they should be showing love regardless.) But for most, it’s just a romantic day to celebrate, especially with a special someone, so enjoy these songs and have a happy Valentine’s day everyone! :)

Wedding Songs

angel on Jan-24-2009

wedding-couple.jpgI love weddings. There’s just something about them… two people coming together to commit to each other forever. There’s a kind of magic in the air. It’s nice to see a couple so in love with each other that they’d want to spend the rest of their lives together… you can see it in their eyes, their smile. It’s a beautiful thing to witness, their coming together, saying their vows to each other in front of God and all the people that are special to them. It’s just so touching and inspiring. Weddings are one if not the most magical moment of a person’s life. I know that not all weddings last but that doesn’t change the fact that these people DID feel the magic on their wedding day. Even if it didn’t work out, they still felt love and happiness during their wedding day. And that’s special all on itself.

I’ve witnessed really beautiful weddings in my life, quite a few actually, and I felt goosebumps every time. The whole idea just touches my heart and inspires me. And music is hugely a part of what makes it all so inspiring. Wedding songs are so sentimental and meaningful, that they really make the experience more real and special. Here are some wedding songs I like to listen to. What other weddings songs do you like? :)

Rhythm & Blues

angel on Jan-14-2009

Last year was full of partying and bar hopping and discos. I’m not that well updated with current hits since I seldom listen to the radio, but when you’re out there dancing your booty off, you hear club tracks that… well… let’s just say, make you grind even more. Hehe. Anyway, here is a compilation of R&B club tunes that I’ve heard and liked. All designed for your clubbing pleasure. Feel free to suggest some of your own in the comments section. Enjoy! :)


Finding A New Love

Breaking up and learning to move on when you’re still in love is hard. But when you’ve accepted the fact that you’re relationship is over and you’re willing to pick up the pieces and start over again, you’ll realize that the hardest part is just in the beginning.

When you’re overcome with hurt and pain, it feels like you’re never going to find love again. Or you tell yourself you’ll never find someone as good as your ex or someone you’ll love as much. Some feel like they won’t be able to trust again. It’s all part of the moving on process… the uncertainty, fear, and worry. But it gets easier… as long as you know within yourself that it’s over and you’re not holding on anymore. Moving on is just harder if there’s something that’s holding you back. But if you’ve completely learned to let go, then you’ll be able to go through the healing process, and eventually find another love.

They say the fastest way to get over someone is by focusing on another person. Some say rebound relationships do not work, but others say it’s an effective way to get over a breakup. Regardless, it’s no use moping around for prolonged periods of time, agonizing over a breakup. Sooner or later, you’ll have to get back out there and start finding love again.

For some people, it doesn’t take very long for them to find someone new. For others, it may take a long time. A new love signifies a new start. And it’s always a great feeling, to be able to feel alive again, smile again, laugh again. Ultimately, life takes on a new meaning. Have you ever experienced this?

Check out these songs about finding a new love…



“Before, my fear was being vulnerable. The ability of another human being to possibly tear apart your insides at any moment was enough to keep me running. He, however, made my insides come alive, my smile become permanent, laughter more frequent. He took away my fear and gave me hope. But more importantly, for the first time in my life, instead of wanting to run, he gave me a reason to stay.”

Brokenhearted Females

angel on Mar-26-2008

brokenhearted-girl.jpgThis is my collection of brokenhearted songs sung by females that I’ve liked over the years. What can I say, I’m a sucker for love songs. And broken hearted love songs are definitely one of them. I don’t know, there’s just something about these songs that really touch the heart in a sense that you could get lost in the emotions that they bring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you have to be broken hearted to appreciate them. But I think even the happiest person can use a little bit of nostalgic feel that these songs bring. So for those who are romantics (especially females), broken hearted or not, I invite you to check these songs out. I know the list is by no means comprehensive, and I’m sure there are still lots of female brokenhearted songs out there, but this list narrows down my most favorite of them all. The ones that really really touched me. And I wanna share them all with you. If you have a broken hearted female song that you like, don’t be shy to share!

These, right here, are my favorite love songs of all time! Of course, there are lots of other great love songs out there, but I narrowed them down to my top picks. I’ve started compiling this list since I was a kid, and I guess it just stuck with me after all these years. These are, in my opinion, timeless classics and some of the best love songs ever written! So sit back and listen to my ultimate love songs collection… and perhaps you can tell me what you think of them. ;)
