Love According to Bob


I saw this from Goodreads and I felt the need to share this to everyone. We all crave for love. Do read on and tell me what you think.
“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. 
You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. 
You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. 
When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. 
They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. 
Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. 
There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. 
You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. 
The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. 
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. 
Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. 
A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. 
In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. 
Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. 
You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. 
You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. 
You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. 
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. 
Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Pusong Calle

If you like helping out like me, I'd say get your Pusong Calle shirts! The proceeds of the shirts will be used to fund current projects of the Couchsurfing Philippines Volunteers. You get a shirt while helping out, sounds great right?


If you are not a member of Couchsurfing Philippines then you are probably wondering about the Couchsurfing Philippines Volunteers. To give you a background, here's the description of the group ( taken from the official website ) and if you want to join us in our upcoming activities do let us know.


The CS Philippine Volunteers (group) is a collaborative group that aims to create awareness and social responsibility to all its members without concern for monetary profit, acting as one for the betterment of the community, region and country.
The group was created by enthusiasts who met through the CouchSurfing community to make the outreach programs sustainable rather than just on a one time event. Likewise, to continue providing awareness to fellow CouchSurfers , travelers and society as a whole embodying the spirit of trust, humanity and self-less service.
To keep updated with the events and programs, add the CSPV group:
The pet project is the Outreach Feeding in Baseco Compound in Manila for children every other Saturday of the month. It started last May 2012 and continues to provide feeding session, health teaching for kids, art activities and story-telling activities. CouchSurfers from Manila and other countries have done their share and found a meaningful way of giving back to our less fortunate brethren.
You may join the subgroup of the BASECO Outreach Feeding Project with this link
Future programs will include donation drives, social awareness sessions, and small-scale social entrepreneurship training for the less fortunate members of the society.
The group aims to inspire and gather support from the beautiful hearts of the CouchSurfing community in the Philippines and around the world by sharing time,talent and expertise in the future endeavors.
At CSPV, volunteering could never be this fun!
