"I still have a photograph of you... I've kept it all these years. Maybe it will make you laugh to know, it still brings back the tears..."

I can't stop the tears from falling. The feeling wasn't gone after all because just the mere mention of his name brings tears to my eyes.

How has he been these days? Has life been treating him so well? Is he happy? Does he think about me sometimes like the way I do? Does he feel sad that in the end, it wasn't me and him? 

I have so many questions running through my head. Faced between two choices of a: keeping the friendship or b: risk of rejection and loosing the friendship forever. I would choose the former no matter what. I would rather have him as my best friend forever...

Lord, please help me to forget the one I love so much. Help me to be strong and be more accepting of what I have. I have you with me so I am not alone.

Ask and it will be given to you...

That was taken from the book of Matthew 7:7. A good friend of mine sent me the whole bible verse one Tuesday morning and it certainly hit home.

A few weeks ago, I was so happy for the good news I received from my eldest sister, Ate Lita. She and her boyfriend are planning to get married early next year. Wow, my prayers has been answered! But even now, I pray that things will be smooth from the wedding and during their lifetime  together as husband and wife. My sister deserves to have a happy relationship. I am yet to formally meet the guy but I have been hearing good feed backs both from the people he works with, their common friends and yes, from his employers. Cheers to a life full of bliss for my dear sis!

Papa God, please help me at all times to be faithful and trusting in your will for I know that you will give what we ask in your most perfect timing. Amen.

Happy 2012!

2011 has been a pretty rough year for me. There were things that did not go the way I prayed for. There were some who came and left my life for good. But when I sit back and count my blessings, I cannot help but be thankful still. Why not? Things happen for a reason. I may never know now the why's but there's a bigger picture out there that will slowly unfold and put things into their proper perspective.

So for 2012, I'm wishing you all a very happy new year. May everything that you planned and wished for will come true. May you always be surrounded by those you love and may your heart be as forgiving, as patient, as generous,  and as loving.

Your friendship is a special gift all these years. Throughout the roller-coaster ride of this life, your friendship is a breath fresh air. It makes the journey a lot easier and more exciting. 

Let us not be afraid to face tomorrow for the Lord has plans for us. Plans to make us prosper and not to harm us. Plans to give us hope and a good future.

Cheers! Salute!

Love,
