“WHEN YOU LOVE
SOMEONE, YOU WON’T BE YOURSELF ANYMORE”. Let me share you some story. Yesterday’s event in my life is unexpected.
I am so tired but I feel so blessed by the love of God. This is why I am
writing my journal this moment for I need to take a good rests to use for this
days planned activity. This is what has happen yesterday, as what I have
written on my “Kimma Schedule of Activities” First thing I should do is to buy
gift for my grandpa in Uyanguren. I did prepare early so it is not that
stressful when I roam around the city. I think it’s around 12:30 in the
afternoon I took a bath and it lasts like 2 hours. Everyone is so happy about
the unclogged restroom so I feel like enjoying my bathing. After that, I did
spend some beautiful moments in my room while watching movie. I guess the movie
title that time is “Babe, I love you” in Cinema One channel. It is a love story
of a two different person from different class, find themselves fall in love
with each other’s company. While watching I also watch myself in my beautiful
mirror and plan to straighten my curly hair one at a time. It interests me
because as a result of it is an awesome image.
I then go to my previous boarding house in
Sta. Ana hoping that my friend Rushka, is available to roam around downtown and
buy stuff for New Year. Unfortunately, he is not around so I have to go to
Uyanguren, all by myself. I took a tricycle ride and going there costs me P20
pesos. But it’s okay, so to get started with my tour, I first head to DCLA,
where I could buy Gift for my grandpa. I did buy one but the other stuff like
his white socks should be bought in a wholesale terms, which I think not
practical because what I am aiming is just to buy at least three pairs of it.
It took me 2 hours and half maybe just to find a not wholesale type of selling.
I then go upstairs, to look for some alternative, hoping that this time I could
find something that is beneficial and is useful for my grandpa. Gladly, many things
interests me, but since I have a limited amount of money left, I just list it
on my upcoming “things to buy” lists for I think that I don’t need it as of the
moment. As I shop around the corner, a pack bag caught my attention because
aside from I need one for my upcoming travel, the item costs P100 only. Without
any hesitation, I then bought it and happily decided to go back home and
prepare myself for tomorrow. I then took a jeepney, at NCCC, Uyanguren branch.
And I find myself taken a wrong direction. It surprised me for I told the driver
I’m going to stop at the Mall, and he then nodded and said maybe you got a
wrong route because we are heading directly to Buhangin, using the diversion
road. I then smiled at him and said, “Yeah, it’s okay, I’ll just stop at
Buhangin then”. As we arrived, I’m thinking about celebrating that’s day’s
wonderful event, so I find myself dining at Penongs, Buhangin branch. It’s
actually my first time to dine at this restaurant and what makes me feel good
is everyone is so friendly. I feel beautiful that time too, wearing white shirt
on top, and pants while having my newly pack bag at my back. While waiting
10-15 minutes, I then note down my next direction, in my mind I wanted to
capture some photos of Abreeza Mall Fountain because it is one of my desired
thing to do, so I lists it down too.
While heading to the mall, I remember then that
day is God’s day. So I then decided to go first and visit His Church, It is in
Redemptory’s Church, it’s been awhile I visited a church, since there are many
people that time and it’s an unexpected choice of mine to go there. I directly
go to the Prayer room, and light some candle praying for good health, and
thanking God of all the things that he showed me and asking his forgiveness on
my foolishness and sins in the pasts. I also pray for the all the souls and
asks God to be my guidance and give me enough strength to face the New Year of
my life and shield me from evil works and never let me sin again.
My heart feels so good and inspired, and then I
walk towards the Mall, excited taking pictures of the fountain. It’s around
6:30pm that time, as I pass by some of the stores, I again saw my college
friend Raymand. He is a Jesuit volunteer member, and we shared a lot of things
about his experience, and I ask him what interests him the most in doing the
service and does he find and deepen his faith and understanding to God. He then
told me, that the experience is very tough and inspires him to be more
passionate on his work. His compassion towards the community planning to build
their own GKK, and by the way he is assigned in Bohol, and Raymand planned to
renew his membership and planned to go back to the place until his mission is
complete.
I don’t expect that
my best friend in High School and also our club president in Ateneo
Catechetical Instructions League (ACIL), way back in college, Maria Clariza
Matute, is the one that Raymand waits. The reason is that Clang, that’s her
nick name; plan also to be a part of the said servicing. And to inform
everyone, Raymand, is my treasurer officer of one of the special organization
in ADDU, under religious club category, in which, my leadership took 2 and a
half years, the Ateneo Inter Religious Organization (AIRO). My experience in
AIRO, mold me to strengthen my faith and live with God’s presence. That is why
I am so obsessed in following the life of Jesus Christ’s, the life of a
faithful servant.
We then go to one of
the malls magnificent restaurant, I think it’s a pizza house, “Obarru”. After
that, took some pictures and to Starbucks to meet some previous college
acquaintances, and then home. At home, I then organized my things and put them
in places that are easy for me to find them when I will need them. As I
finished cleaning my room, I then pray to God, and thank him for everything.
“Leave everything to God, for he will reveal to you the secrets of the world”.
And while doing so, don’t forget to be yourself, and treasure and feel every
moment, because time is sacred, and moments are so precious to embrace by our
existence. So I say to you, To God be the glory ^_^.
