MEET-UP

"Unplanned trips are the best because planned trips never happen."

I loss count on how many times we have tried to meet and how many times I have prayed for it.

I even ask God why things didn't push through. I just told myself maybe there's a reason...maybe we are not destined to meet..maybe not just yet.

I have been to a lot of wishing wells...

wishing...

hoping...

And when we finally met...

It was October 2006 when Fr. JP and I first met in Butuan. He was a seminarian then. We communicate through text, friendster, YM, and finally facebook came (thanks to technology). From our first meeting I know and I felt that he will be a good priest one day. Our friendship is extraordinary. We've became good friends through time... a long distance friendship that is. He has been there for me, in prayers and at at time where no one else was and for that I will forever be grateful.

He was in Brazil with a 3 yr contract and I have plans to go abroad so there was a thin chance for us to meet. I wasn't expecting anymore. So I told myself, if its meant for us to meet.. it will happen.

Then on December 13, 2016 we had our 2nd meeting after 10 years. I realized that God really works in mysterious ways. Who would have thought that he is coming home and my trip to CDO was already planned even before he arrived. Honestly, I didn't expect for it to happen. Good things do really take time😊

Finding You

When were destined to meet, we will meet.

So we must be ready to recognize each other.

June 9,2018

Its been 3 years when I had known someone from a picture. And I had a gut feeling that name doesn't belong to that person. I've searched but failed so then I stopped looking for answers. But sometimes when you stopped looking for one, it will find you. On a saturday afternoon, finally the question had been answered. The truth has a funny way in revealing itself. I dont know why...but for all these years I was bothered to know who owns that face..not that he is good looking but I think for one reason, I want to know the truth. I want to know his name. At last, I found out. I may not possibly meet him but I'm glad to unravel the mystery of the guy in the picture. I'm glad to know his name. Glad that..that question had been answered. 

Happily Single ^-^

It’s love month again…..

I bet the guys are busy looking for their Valentine’s date while the girls are waiting to be asked. What about the single people?  Well, they are also busy convincing the world that they’re fine and doin’ great! Let me ask, why do people in a relationship always think that every single people around them should be in a relationship as well? hmmmm…(bcoz they’re happy?) But some people in a relationship wanted a way out, to be free and to be single again. Haaaah…the irony of life!

                But being single is a blessing too except perhaps during Valentine’s day, Christmas, your friend’s wedding, family/friends gatherings when you are always asked about your status. And during these days when the weather is cold, when you want someone to cuddle, when you need someone to hold your hand while walking on the beach, or a tight embrace to warm your heart. These are just a few instances a single person has to face (well, aside from PMS, menopause/andropause, taxes) of whether or not one enjoys being happily single.

                I know a lot of people can relate to this, the single who continuously search for someone special on online dating websites, hoping against hope that they will find “The One”. Hoping and waiting maybe that someone is living across the miles and would travel to be where they are. What ‘ya call them?the desperate singles? Nah…just kidding! Ok..ok… that’s so cruel to say and I must admit I’ve tried this too. I’ve tried my luck and I’ve talked to different men out there but I got tired and realized,  Is this how I really wanted to meet my future mate? Some are lucky to have met their partners online. But it’s hard for me to continue something I don’t really believed in, so I guess I have the right to say that there’s really no harm in trying.There are single person who’s hoping for reconciliation with their exes. They remain single because they’re still holding on for that love and believes that “love is lovelier the second time around” (well, it’s true for some people, not everyone are lucky!). Or waiting to be noticed by someone you admire. Praying that maybe someday that person will look at you in a different way, maybe one day that person will love you back or maybe he/she wouldn’t see you as a friend anymore but someone special. Which kind of single are you? And how long are you going to wait? Sleeping Beauty slept for years before her prince came. Rapunzel had grown her hair too long before she was rescued by her knight and shining armor. Cinderella had to suffer in the hands of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters before she met her prince charming in a dance. So if you are thinking where on earth your prince charming have been…just imagine that your frog prince is still a toad and would take a little time before you two are going to meet.

Many of us live in a fast paced adrenaline fueled society but all of us have always been looking for answers about meaning, purpose, and true happiness. Sometimes we missed all the fun and life feels like one long routine day after another. We always have a nagging feeling that something is missing. We missed the feeling of loving and being loved but the feeling of loneliness shouldn’t be the reason why we should jump into a relationship. We should love our self first and everything will just fall into line. The love for oneself is one of the first few things one forgets every time one falls in love. Enjoy your time being single, go out, travel and have fun. You’ll never know your destiny is just around the corner or you may have bump into him a while ago, or a seatmate in a plane, bus or train. Still choose to believe in love and (for now) be Happily Single!

"We don't meet people by accident,they are meant to cross our path for a reason."

      
    At this point of your life,have you ever asked yourself why you meet the people you've met? Why of all people in this world,you've come across some people in your life right now...have they change you?or you have changed theirs...?And if you could turn back time,would you still want to meet them and be a part of your life?,,,,
    I always believe that there's a great reason why we bump into each other. It's not just a mere accident or coincidence. I know that there is always a reason why we meet people,no matter how long or short the encounter was. That in each person we meet on our journey,we always learn a thing or two from them. They'll come a time that someone we meet along the way would inspire us to change our lives in a significant way that will make us happier,healthier,or more fulfilled. So here's the Top 10 people who have inspired me to go on,live more,love much and be happy every single day! ❤

     The People of My 2013

   

❤SFDHI Family❤

"The LAB-vables"

       We've been through up's and down's,bad issues here and there,toxic days of manual counting of CBC's,but we've survived it all. I'm happy to be apart of this new family and be able to meet this young people who have taught me how to process the manual counting of hematocrit and other laboratory procedures. Eventhough we always encounter a lot of problems these days, we don't let it affect us because despite what's happening around us, we still manage to smile,laugh and be silly at times! :)

❤Brokenshire Laboratory❤

"My Crazy Loves" 

         They've been my family for 5 months and it's always nice to go to work everyday knowing you're with these happy people. Work was never difficult because we get to laugh more,eat a lot and joke around. They always say that you have to live life while you're still young. Because of them I've tried things I've never tried before and been to places I've never seen before. Working was more fun in Brokenshire! No words can express how much I value every time I spent with them. I will always and forever be grateful for having them in my life!  :)

❤Marbella Family❤

   I've known Edlyn "my longest friend" since kindergarten. We've been friends for so many years,though we don't see each other so often,we don't talk a lot but whenever we see each other it seems like years and miles was never there. I'm so thankful that I've been a part of her family and I know I can always have a place to go HOME to. :)

         Some people in your life stay for years while others fade away after a few months, weeks and even for a couple of days. so whenever you bump into someone, whether that person pisses you off, make you smile, inspire you, hurt you or hate you....keep in mind that your paths crossed for a reason. I may not be blessed with so many things in life but what I have is enough to be thankful,to feel loved by God and the people around me, and to live with a positive outlook in life,full of hope and courage. I thank God for all the people who has been a part of my life, for the people who stayed and people who walked away...coz if it weren't for  them I may not be the person I've become today! ;)
