what day is today?

Last household leaders'f orum  for our chapter, Bhe asked everyone to brag about the people around them...
Sempre wasn't really able to brag about 'them...'

Next month would mark my 'anniversary' and I praise God that it's all part of the past...
Screeechhhh...i am  here to brag, remember, Cheche?!

I want to brag about my friends...real, good friends.

I want to brag about Chrissy - for having the strength and energy to 'fight' with me...
Other people would simply shrug their shoulders off when some friends go astray, even argue, it's their life, let them...
Thank you for taking 'responsibility' for my life... Thank you for making my life a problem of yours...hahahahahha!
If not for those 'fights' and loving arguments that we had...nah!  i don't want to think otherwise because as they say, there are no, 'what if's'  only thank God, it happened... thank God, Chrissy reacted that way.

I want to brag about Gracie - for having the commitment to constantly check on me, as in ng sobrnag dalas...
Nagtataka pa siya kumbakit lagi niya ako'ng naabutan umiiyak...hindi ako madalas umiiyak (wushu!) madalas ka lang tumatawag...har! har! har!  Seriously, after being told to stay away, other people would obligingly do that... but she didn't... She saw something and she held on to that something and believed in it... (Gosh! me nakikita siyang hindi natin nakikita?!) 

Ang hirap gumawa ng seryosong blog... hehehehehe!  Tawanan  natin kasi ayokong maiyak...aaaaayyyyy...

I want to brag about Jeanette - for having the 'injurance' este endurance to listen...how'd they use the word painstakingly?  thoroughly listening...offering her time till the wee hours, odd hours, any hour... astig!  Eto lang, pasalamat ka nakikinig siya...kasi matakot ka kapag nagsalita na siya...nyahahahaha... inde...you'll be blessed with credible words of advice, you know, why?  Because she listened, really listened first.  Kaya you know she gathered her advice and tailored it from what she heard and 'analyzed' from  you...

I want to brag about Bhe - naks! my messenger, my encourager, and my 'stopper' ...parang sa pintuan lang...stopper (saka yung nilalagay sa brandy, stopper...lumabas din ang totoo)  the very same purpose the stopper works for a bottle of brandy... for it not to pour itself out all the way...draining the bottle in no time. You know she'd pray for you from  the messages she's receiving from  God.  and when you look back to those times I felt I was understood, I was given a leeway, trying not to pressure you into anything; I knew then she was silently being a friend. haaaayyyy...

I want to brag about my Gina Baby - ahemmm...ahemmm.... while I was reflecting this morning...I realized a lot of  'good things' Gina is made up of.  She is my example of a forgiving, understanding, loving, and forgetting...forgetful person.  She may tell you she's barricaded herself from  being hurt...but that ain't true.  Because the gem  in her  would know how to love and forget what was done before...and the jewel inate in her would know how to forgive when she's been hurt again...and forget... Thank you for being the best version of you...  I am  just so lucky that although I met you 'late' I still got to spend more years with you (wala kang choice) kaya I can brag being with you longer than you are with Buddy or Bibe, Lalabs, Medai, Rona...or anyone amongst our friends who would love to be with you.

I want to brag about my ates -  aaayyyyy... for trying their very best to understand...to endure the pain of  feeling that they're simply watching without being able to do anything constructive...in reality, that's not the case... watching and letting go of the rein is a 'destructive - constructive' thing to do... you allowed me to break so that I can be whole...you allowed me to be burned so that when I come out of the fireplace, I'm  shining because of the glaze... wahhhhh....ceramics pa rin?!

And to Leila - thank you for having the courage to leave.  For realizing that you have to love yourself first before serving other people.  For realizing that if it's not making you a better person, then flee with all your might.  Thanks for fleeing...it sounds like freeing... We may sometimes construe it as fleeing but in fact, fleeing may just be a reaction because we want to be free...

Cheche's official day of friendship ba ngayon? Anuver...  Dapat mas madalas ganito ang gising, Lord ha...
Thank You, Lord for being a patient God...I still remmeber my prayer, even when I do not trust yet...even when I do not trust still...I love You, po...thank You, thank You po...
