Week 8: My Boy Bestfriends

It's Friday when my bestfriend Sam invited me for a movie date. I said yes, of course. We went to see the movie "Unofficially Yours". I am not a big fan of Angel Locsin, but knowing that Sam has complimentary tickets for the movie, I'm good to go. The storyline is pretty close to reality. Sam can totally relate to Angel. He doesn't want commitments. That's the common denominator of the two. The movie is good. I'm gonna give it 4 stars.


It's nice to see college buddies from time to time. I remember that on Valentine's day, I met up with Marco and watched 'The Vow'. I don't know but I find boy bestfriends the best. I love listening to their stories and attending to their problems. I am not a good adviser though, but I have strong shoulders for my friends.

I really can't wait to see them with girlfriends, but I know deep down I'll be jealous if time comes.

Week 7: We Are Family

Cousins came over on Saturday, and we had dinner together in our house. They've been visiting us more frequent now since ninang Pina is here. Remember that last week I was there, and spent the whole rainy Sunday in their house. But what I really wanted to share is what happened the next day.

It was 8 o'clock in the morning, and I was awaken by my sister's voice calling for nanay. I saw her lying in the bed looking closely to her hands. She said that she feels numb all over her body. 1-2-3 seconds, and the next thing I saw is her stiff body and her eyes rolling upwards. I was scared hearing my mother's voice shouting for help. I don't know what to do. I went outside but no one's there to help us. My mother was crying so hard, hugging my sister, shouting everyone's name, calling for help. I sat beside my sister, trying to control her involuntary movements. I hugged her from the back and began shouting. I have no idea how to fight her seizure. All I could give is the tightest hug only a big sister can provide. My brother rushed outside to seek help. In less than a minute, our shouting has given us a good outcome. I saw our neighbors and relatives coming. They brought her to ER and from there everything has fallen to its right places. She's okay now.

That was the most heart-breaking 15 minutes of my life. I realized that in a split second we can lose the persons we love. I thought we will lose our baby. But God didn't allow that to happen. And I know He has his own purpose why our family is experiencing this kind of scenario. I thank Him for helping all of us went through this. I thank Him for giving me my loving family. I thank Him for sending everyone who helped us. I thank Him for keeping us complete and fighting.

Week 6: My New Baby

I got my pay on Saturday, and promised not to spend any part of it until Monday. But I failed. Happy that I failed, though. You know why? Because I got my new baby!!! She is an iPod touch 4th generation. I'll assume it's a girl since it's white in color and I bought her a new pink-yellow jacket. She has no choice. She's a she.

I never been so techy, but I love the idea of having an iPod, digital camera, cellular phone and a laptop. That's all I want. So when my 3rd gen was robbed last December, I feel really really bad. But now my family is complete again. I will not ask for more like ps3 or a tablet, or iPad. I'm all set!

On Sunday, my cousin and I go for a morning jog at MOA. Well, I enjoyed it a lot since it's been months since I joined fun runs. We went straight to their house in Don Galo and spent the whole day there. I got to meet my tita-ninang Pina, too.

More than anything else, I had a quality time with Andrew. He accompanied me to get the iPod and he's there beside me while exploring new baby.

Week 5: Time is my Bestfriend

If you are following my twitter account, or if you are my friend in Facebook, you would notice that I've posted something about Time being my bestfriend. The reason behind this statement can be read on my Wordpress blog titled Time: How I Met My Bestfriend. Well, it's about meeting someone whom I never thought I would forgive, and feeling forgiven without actually expecting it. How time heals, and how it makes easy for me to go through it all.

It's a nice feeling and a very good realization how happy is it to live without thorns in your heart. You know the feeling of being a new-born? That's it, as if you have a very pure heart full of love and happiness. Now I realized that if someone broke our heart, we should not immediately seek for healing, and rush down to pick up the pieces of our heart. Or look for someone to fill the space right away thinking that it may lessen the pain we are feeling. It's really better to wait. Let time heal the wounds for you. It may take too long, and the process is really never easy, but believe me when I say that the outcome is really rewarding.

And after the waiting, face it. Face that person, wear the biggest smile and let that person feel that he/she is missed. We he/she smiles back at you, that will be the perfect feeling of forgiveness and acceptance, and the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

So that's how my week ends. Forgiveness. Acceptance. Happiness. Fulfillment. Realization.
