An awesome year! (2011)

It’s 6:37 pm of December 31, 2011 and I was like, dang… Another year has come to end… I  just can’t imagine that from the very first day of 2011 until the last day I am wearing this smile.. I am not telling that I have smiled for the whole year but what I mean is I started it with a smile and ended with a smile.. 

This year gave me a roller coaster ride of emotions, I became happy, disappointed, sad, etc.  but what is funny there is I rode the roller coaster, alone.. I have you my friend during the roller coaster ride… You have join me with our ups and downs no matter how high it is, no matter how fast it is no matter how many loops there are, you’ve been there and you trusted to ride in even though there is no seat belt… We both hold on not to fall and just enjoy it.. 

January 2011 - the start of a new life, a new journey and a new me. :)

February 2011- wow! I never thought I have a talent in making movies and in dancing. Lols. I became an executive produce of our movie entitled “The Necklace” .. Hoho.

March 2011- it’s the very special month in my life, I had the best birthday in my life with my family and best friends… On this month I also got my very first blackberry smartphone which plays a big role on the succeeding months. :)

April 2011- lemme just call it as a social month… Hehehe… I got to talk with friends right on my bbm and got to chat with people whom I don’t know in person.

May 2011-  a month full of emotions? I dunno… Let’s say it is a downfall of our roller coaster ride… Hoho.

June 2011- it’s a back to school month, wow it’s my last school year in highschool and it’s a loop to our ride, I was so shocked with my section coz I was separated with my friends yet happy coz this will be the time to meet knew friends.. :)

July 2011- another downfall of emotion… Why? Hmm… I’ll just zip my mouth. Hohoho…

August 2011- great month to celebrate, I’ve been good inside the classroom and get to know my classmates well.. I’m still adjusting with the environment but I can feel that I am so welcomed in that section.

October 2011- I got my very first honor card in my whole high school life… I been inspired on studying my lessons… a life lesson was also taken from this month that I would bring throughout my life.

November 2011- this is the very best month of the year, I attained peace with someone whom I argued with, I have seen my father after 6 years, I have accepted Kyle as my brother, I already have forgiveness in my heart, we got into retreat and i got my 2nd honor card but after all this… Blackberry became sick. :( 

December 2011- last month of the year, I attended the last high school dance in my life.. I got to know who my true friends are… I have ended something which I don’t like to pursue and someone came back from the past.. 

It has been a very fruitful and prosperous year but as Earth’s rule, everything shall come to end… So I’ll treasure everything in my heart and never forget it… I thank you for being part of my 2011, thanks for the ride…. I am looking forward to have a fruitful and prosperous year this 2012 and hope I could find something new with mr. Russell Martinez as he enters college… I am sure of this… In this year everything would be new and there will be lots of loops and curves on our roller coaster ride, it’s up to you if you’ll join me or not but definitely I’m into it… Lego 2012!!! God bless us all… HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

November - Best month ever.

Ang buwan na ito yung pinakamasaya sa buong taon ko… Maraming naganap sa 30 days ng buwan na ito pero ilan lang naman ang tumatak sa isip ko… Una, nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na makasama mom ko during sembreak, kasi kapag may pasok hindi na halos kami nagkikita dahil siya sobrang busy sa work ako busy naman sa school.. So yun, natuwa din ako dahil nakalagbonding kami ng mga pinsan ko kahit minsan.. Akalain mong may talent pala ako sa pagluluto? Nagustuhan ng isa kong pinsan yung niluto kong carbonara…

After 2 weeks… November 15, 2011 .. Pagkauwi ko nakita ako ng lolo ko sa daan, eto agad sabi niya.. “umuwi ka na, nandiyan daddy mo.” ako naman ayaw maniwala.. Wow! Parang ewan.. Di ko ma-explain ang nararamdaman ko! Pero napaisip din ako.. Kaya pala ang o.A nila mag ayos ng bahay.. Ahahaha… So yun. Uwi agad ako… Pero paguwi ko wala naman eh! Haha. Pero bakit ang daming foods? Tapos etong mga kasama ko sa bahay tuwang tuwa.. Halaa.. Tapos sabi ko.. “umamin nga kayo, andito ba daddy ko?” .. They just answered me with a smile.. Ako naman diretso na sa room ko… Isip pa din ng isip… 7:08am … Someone knocks on my door… And pag open ko ng door! BOOOOOM!!! My daddy!!! Owehm! Yakap ako agad agad, whew.. My tears just flowed on my face, after 6 years!! Nakapag-blog pa ako noong september 13, 2011 about his comeback… Akalain mo? Natupad? I really thank God for that… Ako na ata angpinakamasayang tao noon.. And ang kapatid kong last kong nakita eh mga 1 year old pa eh 6 years old na.. And I have a new baby princess pa.. Wow! Such a blessing.. Everything went so good. So ayon… Gala sila ng gala noon, tagaytay, laguna, quezon… Pero ako lagi nalang ako hindi kasama? Amp! Tampong tampo ako nun.. Hahaha… Pero alam kong babawi yan, busy kase ako sa school eh.. Eto pa, sakto namang cards out namin nun.. So siya nag sign sa card ko.. For the very first time! Could you imagine the feeling? Hahaha..

So dumating ang november 19, 2011 lumabas kami, kala ko naman kung saan pupunta.. Moa pala. =)) lol. Ang unang bumaba ay ako, si kyle, dad and lola.. Yung iba nasa van, tulog pa si kate.. Wow! Malling with dad! At kasama pa si lil bro.. Ever since Di pa talaga kami naguusap ng little brother ko.. Kahit noong nasa mall kami, nagtitinginan lang kami.. Wahaha.. So ayun, dinala ko sila sa powermac.. Gusto ko ng iPad eh, una tingin tingin then yun binili na rin… Dami palang process kapag card gamit, verify dito, verify doon… Hahaha… Ayun so naglaro muna ako ng game doon and guess what, that little child talked to me and said.. “please get me out of here..” haha.. Bored na siya.. Gusto na mag arcade.. Lol.. Basta yun.. When i had my iPad.. Biglang nawala dad ko, as in naghanapan lang kami sa buong mall for 2 hours, buti nalang yung maid alam number ko (kahit di ko naman binigay sa kanya.), so pauwi na noon and yun sabi dadaan daw ng yellow cab, pero sobrang traffic.. Daan kaming las pinas baka meron madaan wala rin, so uwi na kami, bumili nalang ng lechon manok for dinner sa bahay.. Sabay sabay kami nag dinner… Nag away tong sina kyle and kate… Ayaw kasi painumin ni kyle si kate ng water eh, ayaw mag share… Mana sa kuya! Lol. Tapos nun while i’m exploring my ipad.. Lumapit siya sa akin.. And yun.. Pinicturan ko siya.. And pagkatapos nun, umakyat na ako sa room ko.. And start na yun ng pagiging close ko kay kyle.. Were playing games, watching videos, viewing funny photos.. Nagsisimla na siyang maging comfortable sa akin at ganun din ako.. One time may tumawag sa facetime, nagulat siya.. Boom! Kawawa ako.. Ahaha.. Biglang naging hyper, dumagan sa likod ko, niyapos yapos pa ako.. Lol… Waa.. Tapos I also take photos of him.. I dunno kung ako pinicturan niya din… Haha. Late na nun, pero ayaw pa niyang matulog but he have to.. So yun sabi ko nalang matutulog na ako para matulog na din siya..

Kinabukasan … Last day na nila yun.. Bitin no? Kaso may work pa dad ko and may pasok pa si kyle.. Paggising ko wala si kyle, pero sabi sa akin ng mga kasama ko sa bahay.. 7am pa lang inaabangan na niya ako.. Lol. Natuwa naman ako.. Paalis sina daddy nun, bibili ng gamot may allergy siya eh, ang naiwan nalang sa bahay ay ako, tita ko, maids sina kyle and kate na nasa room..habang kumakain ako ng breakfast ko, biglang bumababa si kyle.. Dala dala si nintendo 3DS.. Nung una di ko pa pinapansin.. Tapos nilapitan ako.. Tapos lumayo ako, pasok akong living room.. Pag upo ko ng sofa, sumunod siya sa akin.. Nakatapat siya and ako dala ko ipad ko, i take a photo of him. Nanaman.. Lol and pinansin ko din, di ko matiis eh, so yun tumabi na siya sa akin.. Laro laro nanaman kami.. Kwento nanaman siya ng kwento.. After nun, binigay ko muna ipad ko sa kanya, then I proceed sa room dun sa baba, nood ako tv. Tapos sunod nanaman siya, lumabas ako, sunod nanaman siya, pasok sa room, sunod ulit.. Hahah. Sunod siya ng sunod sa akin… Tapos humiga nalang ako… Kinukulit niya ako sa bed… Lol.. And happy naman ako that ime, akalain mo? Sa isang araw lang? Close na agad kami?

Dumating pinsan ng dad ko na doctor.. Close din siya sa akin.. So yun may surprise party daw para kay dad, blah blah.. And kasama niya yung daughter niya and yung lil sis. Tapos niloloko ko si kyle.. Haha..nice taste din ng kapatid ko.. Crush niya agad? Eto pa style oh.. Tatawagin niya yung girl at kapag lumingon na flash agad ng camera! Lol! Sabay takbo sa akin.. Tawa ng tawa.. So after nun, tinawag si kyle ng tita ko, isasama daw sa mall bibili ng cake for dad but he refused and hugged me, gusto kasama ako.. Lol. Ako naman kahit nakapambahay, sama na din para sumama si kyle. Lol. So ayun, siyempre dala ipad, and di naman masikip nun sa kotse eh, pero nakaupo pa yun sa akin.. Lol. And he’s taking photos, and made a greeting card pa, he even requested me to take photo of the two of us but I refused.. Nasa mall na kami and ayun, nakadikit pa rin sa akin yung batang yon, kahit nung nasa red ribbon na kami, andun lang siya sa tabi ko.. Tapos nag punta din kami sa supermarket. Lol. Nagaaway yung mga bata sa push cart, so yung tita ko she requested me to get another one, tapos nun di ko na namalayan nakasunod na pala sa akin si kyle, akala ko kasama ni tita.. Hahaha… Habang nasa pila picture nanaman.. :)) blah blah.. So andun na kami ulit sa kotse pauwi na, nakaupo nanaman sa akin si kyle, eh nangangalay na ako so I requested him to sit beside me instead, tapos nun ang ginawa naman humiga sa lap ko tapos kinukurot yung chin ko! Lol.hahaha.. Tawa siya ng tawa.. :))

Nakauwi na kami.. Ayun, nasa room na ako, as usual nandun din siya…. Tinawag na kami ng dad ko, kakain na. Daw pero ako ayoko pa, they asked kyle kung kakain na.. Ayaw pa daw, pinilit ko nalang kumain para siya din kumain.. Ahahha… Cute no? Shadow ko na nga tawag sa kanya eh..

Alam ko naman na last day na nila eh, so pagkabalik namin sa room, while kyle is playing with his 3DS.. Ako nakatakip ng pillow, secretly crying.. And nakaradam ata tong batang to.. Niyakap ako.. I dunno why.. Tapos nun kinuha ko ipad ko, naglaro din ako.. Di ko pinakita na lumuluha ako… Kinikukulit nanaman ako.. Tapos habang naglalaro ako, kinukurot naman niya cheeks ko.. Sabay sabi niya “I am leaving in a while” ako bitaw sa ipad sabay takip ng pillow.. Hirap na hirap ang puso ko noon, kung kelan naman kasi paalis na saka naman kami naging close.. Sobrang sweet lang nung batang yun..

Dumating na ang oras para magpaalam.. Picture picture muna.. Tapos yun na, niyakap na ako ng makulit na batang yun.. Ako pigil ang luha.. After that, diretso ako sa room ko, eto namang dad ko pinuntahan ako sa room ko, ako pahid agad ng tears sabay yakap ng sobrang higpit… Nagpaalam na ko.. Di na ako naghatid sa airport… I can’t!!!

Masasabi ko lang na natupad ang sinabi ko noon na hindi na mauulit ang nangyari 6 years ago.. Mahal na mahal ko ang pamilya ko… Sa ngayon, miss ko na si kyle.. Halos bukambibig ko na nga siya.. And sa tuwing may pagkukwentuhan ako, hindi ko mapigilang mapaluha… Naluluha ako hindi dahil sa lungkot kundi dahil sa saya.. I thank God for giving me a brother just like him.. Waaa! Sobrang saya ng November ko… Thank you Lord… Sana i- continue pa niya ang blessings this month of December… God bless you all.. Love God and your Family… :)

Best Gift I ever had…

Today is the day of your leaving… It is really funny on how things go during your 6days stay here… We were so close already.. I may say we are the DYNAMIC DUO… Haha… I just can’t believe that the most hated person before will be the most loved one… I loved you not because I have to but because you loved me too… I will be missing those times staying late at night playing games and watching our favorite ‘Lego wipeout ’ … As you leave today, it seemed like the feeling were just like the first time of our meeting, you were so shy saying goodbye.. Lol. I can still remember seeing me at the stairs.. You were staring at me for a Lon time that made me feel awkward.. Haha.. I will be missing you so much brother… Thank you for coming into my life.. You know what?  I’ve been wishing for a lil brother like you since then.. And when you came.. I thank God because for me… you are the BEST GIFT I EVER HAD…

Somewhere I have Never Travelled 

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

GOODBYE OCTOBER

I ended october with a smile and learned something.. this post would not be so late for ending my october hahaha… ahmm I just learned that.. You will never find true happiness in your life, if your heart will be filled with hatred.  I believe that no matter how loud he/she laughs, how many money could he/she could spend in shopping or how many smiles you give to everyone everyday if you still have hatred in your heart… YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY…

Mga Pagkakamali

Tayo ay may mga tao at ang isang patunay na tayo ay isang tao ay ang paggawa natin ng mga pagkakamali ng hindi sinasadya. Walang taong hindi nagkakamali pero dapat ay nasa moderasyon lamang.

Sa labing-anim na pamamalagi ko dito sa mundo marami na akong pagkakamaling nagawa kahit noong bata pa lang ako pero habang tumatanda ako lalong lumalaki ang mga nagagawa kong pagkakamali.. Ngayong araw na ito may nagawa nanaman akong pagkakamali at hiyang-hiya ako sa sarili ko, isang tanong lang ang sumagi sa isipan ko.. “BAKIT KO NAGAWA YON?”… Nasaktan ko siya, nasaktan ko ang kalooban niya, hindi ako nag-iisip, masyado akong nagpadala sa kaligayahan ko pero ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko, tao lang ako at nagkakamali rin… Sa ngayon ang maari ko lamang gawin ay maghintay na lumamig ang sitwasyon bago ayusin ito at hiingin sa Diyos na maayos ang lahat ng ito.. kung ano man ang kahitnan nito ay malugod kong tatanggapin.. 

Isang aral nanaman ang ibinigay ng buhay sa akin, dapat ay marunong akong makiramdam sa taong nasa paligid ko, kailangang maging sensitibo ako sa mga ginagawa ko at higit sa lahat kailangan ko ng respeto sa sarili ko at respeto sa kapwa ko, isa itong hamon at aral sa buhay ko at nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos na ibinigay niya ito sa akin at hindi niya ako pinapabayaan dahil sa kabila ng lahat ng ito ay naandiyan ang aking mga kaibigan at kaklase(kaibigan na rin) na hindi ako iiwan..

sabi nga ni Bob Ong “Ang problemang nararanasan mo, malaki man o maliit, dapat mong ipagpasalamat kasi ganun kalaki ang tiwala ng Diyos sayo na alam niyang kakayanin mo.”

"Life is never about proving people that you are a good person. Sometimes, the bad things matter. for in the dark side, you see people who who are ready to light the road with you. It’s not how many your friends are, or how many people roam around you but it’s how few of them accepts your being you. FOR IN YOUR NOTHINGNESS, PEOPLE TRUE TO YOU FIND REASONS TO LIKE YOU STILL."

Love is so Difficult

Is there really a true love in this world?

Why do you always leave me, although I give you my whole heart?

I would not be able to love again

LOVE IS SO DIFFUCULT to me..

Suddenly missing you and looking for you…

I have an ache in my heart several times a day ..

my bruised heart is full of you…

I can’t do anything

LOVE IS SO DIFFUCULT…

IT IS SO HARD …

It would be great if you look at me as who I am..

LOVE IS SO DIFFUCULT…

My heart aches so much…

although I give you my everything, love is insufficient … love is so difficult…

I THINK IT’S THE END BETWEEN US…

farewell is the love too, if you are happy..

I will not get hurt when I’m inlove again…   :D

Setyembre

Isang magandang buwan para sa akin ang buwan ng Setyembre. Napakaraming mga pangyayari sa aking buhay na naganap na sa aking palagay ay kapupulutan ng aral. Mayroon din akong nabasa at nalamang mga pangyayari sa aking paligid na kung tutuusin ay hindi kapani-paniwala ngunit nangyari na eh. Sa buwan na ito napagtanto ko na ang buhay ay parang isang lalagyan ng tsokolate na may isang tinatawag sa ingles na “dark chocolate”. Darating ang oras na mauubos mo ang masasarap na tsokolate at mapipilitang kainin ang dark chocolate, mapait man ito pero mawawala naman ang iyong pagkagutom. Parang sa buhay lang natin, may mga oras na masaya tayo at may mga oras din tayong malungkot, bittersweet kung iyong ilalalarawan.

Sa buwan ding ito natutunan kong pahalagahan ang buhay. Sa mga nababalitaan ko ngayon pa-bata na ng pa-bata ang mga taong kumikitil ng buhay, kanina may nagbahagi lamang sa akin ng isang istorya tungkol sa isang bata na binawian agad ng buhay dahil sa pag-ibig. Agad siyang sumuko sa hamon ng buhay, naging mahina siya sa mga pagsubok na ibinigay sa kanya. Ngunit kung titignan mo siya sa ibang angolo hindi mo rin siya maisisi. Masyado siyang nabulag. Marahil hanggang doon na nga lamang talaga ang buhay niya.

Hindi natin masasabi kung ano ang mangyayari sa atin, may bukas pa kayang darating o wala na. Pahalagahan natin ang oras na kasama natin ang ating mahal sa buhay, pahalagahan natin ang bawat isa, kung maari ay iwasan ang tampuhan, maging maligaya tayo sa piling nila para kapag dumating ang panahon ng katapusan ng buhay nila, mamamaalam sila sa mundong itong may ngiti, payapa ang puso’t isipan.

Sa bawat pagtatapos ay lagi mayroong bagong simula. sa pagkaubos ng tsokolate sa iyong lalagyan laging mayroong maglalagay ulit ng panibagong tsokolate upang punuin ito at sa sa bawat pagkabigo ay mayroong tagumpay. Ang buhay ay sadyang mahiwaga at mapaglaro, dapat lamang matuto kang makipaglaro rito upang manatili ka sa mundong ito.

‎”A TOUCHING STORY OF A BOY WHO LOVE HIS MOTHER AND SISTER”

I was walking around in a supermarket when i saw a cashier hand this little boy his money back, the boy couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, ‘I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” 

The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ”Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?” She replied, ”You know that you don’t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.” Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly. 

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. ‘It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.’ I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. 

But he replied to me sadly. ‘No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.’ His eyes were so sad while saying this, ‘My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” 

My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, ‘I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.’ Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me ‘I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won’t forget me.’ ‘I love my mommy and I wish she didn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.’ 

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ‘Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” OK’ he said, ‘I hope I do have enough.’ I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. 

The little boy said, ‘Thank you God for giving me enough money!’ Then he looked at me and added, ‘I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!” ‘I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.”

‘My mommy loves white roses.’ A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. 

Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? 

Two days after this encounter with the little boy I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn’t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. 

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine, and in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

“Everything Happens for a Reason”

It is Saturday afternoon, it is Patrick’s summer vacation and he didn’t know what to do so he turned on his computer and started blogging.

Hi I’m Patrick, I am 3rd year high school student in St. Alphonsus Liguori University. I would like to tell a story about my best friends Luis and Princess Cally, and how they became to be one of the sweetest couple I know.

 It was Sunday afternoon, and was alone inside my room, while hopelessly racking my brains out on what else to do aside from playing Ragnarok Online. But my brain seems to be on vacation and failed to help me on trying to do something.  So I checked out my facebook account and I was surprised to see that I had a friend request from a girl I didn’t know. I accepted the request simply because she looked so gorgeous in her profile picture. She was Princess Cally, when I saw her name on the chat list, I sent a message immediately and tried to chat with her, and luckily she replied. I asked her where she’s studying and found out that she’s also a student of St. Alphonsus Liguori University. I was so shocked and asked what year she’s in, surprisingly she was also in 3rd year. It made me wonder why we’re not seeing each other while we’re actually studying in the same university. I ask this to her and she said that she was on afternoon class. After chatting for hours we have decided to meet up at the cafeteria after my class.

The following day, I waited for her but she was late. I was losing hope and thought that maybe she will not come so I texted her, and she replied that she was waiting about an hour ago. I replied back that I was also already in the cafeteria and was looking for her, that was when I felt someone standing close to me. I looked back and saw a striking girl.

“Is that you Princess Cally?” I asked.

She smiled and said, “Yes, the one and only.”

We talked more and found out that we enjoyed each other’s company. I knew right then and there that we would be good friends. I invited her to join me and my best friend Luis on weekends.

Saturday came, we met up at the mall and I introduced her to my friend Luis. Luis was a bit boastful but I knew that behind that attitude is a very nice and compassionate person and that is why he is my best friend.

Princess Cally was the one who first said hi first to Luis but he just ignored her. I can see that Princess Cally was pissed off with Luis’ action but I know that like me, she will see underneath Luis’ facade and learn to accept him like I did.

After we hang out and while Luis and I are on the way home, I caught him smiling like he was thinking something wonderful so I asked him what was the reason for that smile, but he just shrugged and did not even replied at me.

The following week, the three of us hang out again at the same mall. We were so quiet and I could feel their awkwardness towards each other. Princess Cally was the first to break the silence and asked if we’d like to watch a movie but Luis contradicted her.

“Movie? That is so lame! We better go bowling” Princess Cally being patient and nice agreed at Luis’ idea. While we were on a bowling arena Luis and I was enjoying playing but it was obvious that Princess Cally was bored because she doesn’t know how to play bowling. I offered to teach her how to bowl. She said yes, but while I am teaching her, I saw that Luis’ mood turned sour.Princess Cally 

and I had fun bowling and Luis became silent. We have tried to include him with the fun, but he refuses to speak up. After the hang-out and after P

rincess Cally 

left I asked Luis why he always gets annoyed whenever he sees her. He just said that he didn’t like how she acts.

“But she’s cool!” I argued. Once again Luis didn’t reply and just walk silently beside me. “If I didn’t know better I’d say you like her.” I teased and saw Luis’ cheek turned red.

After a month Princess Cally got used to Luis’ attitude and learned how to accept him. She always tries to reach out to him but he continued being cold and often ignore her. Sometimes she’ll lose patience and they’d fight, whenever these fights happen all I can do is to stay quiet and smile because they’re like kids fighting over a bag of chocolates. When second quarter came, Princess was transferred to morning schedule like us. I was so happy with this development and voice out my excitement with Luis.

“We’d be having so much fun now that Princess Cally’s schedule is same as ours! We’ll get more time hanging out.”

“It seemed like it is too much for me to handle actually.” Luis said not thinking, I asked him what he meant but like always he didn’t answer.

 It was the first day of second quarter and we were seated beside each other. As usual Luis chose to seat far from Princess Cally but I made a plan. I transferred seat so Luis and Cally would seating with each other at the back. Our teacher gave us the topic about “How do men have power over women?” for our debate and the representative of our group was Luis and the representative of the other group was Cally.

Luis first gave his opinion “In my opinion men have power over women because since the start of time, men are always powerful than women.”

Cally countered and said “I disagree because there is a saying that Men controls the world but women controls men therefore, women are more powerful than men.”

After that statement Luis got speechless, luckily the bell rung and the debate was over. Luis was so upset about the result of the game so he tried to ask me if I can help him to talk with Cally and as his best friend I helped him. I thought that maybe Luis was finally seeing how nice she is and will be giving his apology but he just asked Cally why she purposely embarrassed him at class. Cally got annoyed and said that it just right for him because he is so boastful. After that the two became enemies. I found myself caught between the two of them and didn’t know what to do with them. Everything has changed. No more bowling. No more watching movies. No more playing tennis. No more group study. I felt so alone and I asked myself if it was my fault?

Was it my fault that I introduce Cally to Luis?

Was it my fault that I forced Cally to accept Luis?

Was it my fault that I Forced Luis to accept Cally?

Was it my mistake that I wanted us to be best friends?

I confronted Luis and insisted that he should apologize to Cally, because it just a debate, but he didn’t answered. I tried talking to Cally to forgive Luis and added that it was just a debate, a very small thing but just like Luis, she did not reply.

Sunday morning, I invited both of them to go to church. I first texted Luis and asked if he is available, he asked me if who’s coming with me I said it is just me and you, he accepted and replied that he’ll come. I did the same thing to Cally and she also accepted the invitation.

When we all met at the church and they saw each other, they just stood silently on each side of me. But they didn’t walk out so I took that as a good sign. Inside the church, they continued to be silent, when it was near the time to sing the Lord’s Prayer I transferred seat and let them hold hands, I felt glad because they did.

After the mass I asked both of them if they’d like to play tennis, they both said yes. This surprises me because Cally hates it. While we’re on the way to the court there was an awkward silence in the car. When were reached there and started playing, I noticed how conscious Luis is. I observed him and was surprise that he was not on his usual game. He was shaking and was sweating, I was about to ask him what’s wrong when I noticed that Cally seems conscious too and was acting funny, like she cannot look Luis at the face. I was shocked when Luis suddenly throw the tennis racket and run where Cally was seating. He kneeled down and asked for forgiveness. I was more shocked because knowing Luis, I did not expect it to happen. Tears flowed from his eyes and I can see that Cally’s getting teary eyed also.

“Cally I am really sorry, I just did that because I like you and I don’t want to show it, so I just pretended that I am annoyed at you but the truth is I really like you since the first time I saw you.” Luis said.

“Luis, it’s okay, I understand, I am glad that you already know how to apologize, and you know what? You are so cute when you are not getting mad. I like you also” Cally said shyly.

I was so happy that everything is finally backed to normal. I ran to them and yelled, “Finally! Group hug!!”

Monday morning…

“Hi Cally” Luis said.

“Hello Luis” Cally replied.

“Can you meet me at the cafeteria later?” Luis asked.

“Why?” Cally asked puzzled.

“You’ll know later”.

I asked Luis what was his plan and why did he invite Cally at the cafeteria and I found out that they met each other in the Cafeteria meaning the first meeting was not happened inside the mall but in the cafeteria, I dunno what is the story behind it…

“I’m going to propose to her and ask her to be my girlfriend because that is the place we first met.” Luis answered. I was so happy that my best friend had fallen in love for the first time and more with someone I know and approve of. Lunch time came I was so excited, and I was seated at the back part of the cafeteria where I can see a good view where they will be seating. Luis comes early. He was so nervous. I can see the tension on his face.

Finally Cally came. She asked where I was.

Luis did not answer her question and instead asked, “Ahmm you want to order something?”

“Ahh.. Nope. I don’t want to order. Are you ok? You looked funny, is there anything wrong?” Cally asked.

“I Love You, I have fallen for you since the first time we met here at the cafeteria at this table and exactly at this time, I am sorry for all the bad things I did to you. When you said yesterday that you also like me I felt like I am the luckiest man alive. You really changed me, because of you I became a better person and I learn how to make friends, you are my miracle.” Luis said sincerely.

There was a long pause. Cally just stared him like she can’t believe what she just heard. She swallowed hard and said, “I Love you too, I also felt the same when we first met but I thought that you don’t like me, I am so overwhelmed, I don’t know what to say. I am so speechless. I am so happy. Thank you for everything Luis.”

I stood up from where I was sitting and go to them and congratulate them. I am so happy for them and I am so very happy that in all the struggles in our lives our dear God did not let us down. He did not let our friendship to be broken. Maybe He just gave us those situations for us to unfold the truth about what we feel.

Patrick absent mindedly look at the clock and discovered that it was already 10pm in the evening he got so absorbed with blogging that he lost track of time. He decided to go to bed because he had to meet up with his two best friends the following morning for bowling. So he went back to his blog and typed…

Until here guys. Good night and remember “everything happens for a reason”.

This blog of Patrick got the highest tumblarity points, the most favorited and the featured blog.

Epilogue:

10 years after, Patrick is already a pilot of a big airline company while Jhonette is a nurse of a big hospital where Luis is also working as a doctor. Even though they are busy they still find time to catch up with each other and hang out, and do the things they enjoyed doing while they are teens like playing bowling, watching movies and playing tennis. Proving that their friendship is one of the strongest in the World Wide Web, err… whole wide world.
