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.
