Happy Easter Sunday Indeed!

Take time to realize...

I got one whole day to read The Testament by John Grisham, hating and loving Troy Phelan and admiring Rachel Lane, the after effect was ethereal and remarkable! Yup.. I just decided to enrol next school year taking up my Masters.. so excited to learn new things and hone my skills.
Right after reading it which was really worth it.. I called my Alma Mater and decided to enrol by May. Time to buy new school stuffs once again,new pens and notebooks and the books!yup books!I so love it, visiting libraries again and burning candles at night..Most rewarding part of all is that I'll pay for my Tuition fees and lodging..yup!I'll be both a stude and  the ever witty QA Analyst.

It's so nice, feeling like a freshie once again, see yah future classmates and Professors,please be nice...

Forever Indeed Is Not Enough

HEAVEN.....
            THE beginning...
"Kato ba.."
"Unsay kato ba?"
"Kato gud.."
           First lines..first glances..the start of everything...
           How would I ever forget these small details. The church,his EYES...yeah his tantalizing eyes...
           I just missed you terribly COY..missed you a lot..
           What I like to do right now is flashback the memories we had shared, treasured and forever be cherished. One reason of doing this is  to remind me how blessed I am to be one of those people who had shared with you the beauty of life.

At the church..(San Vicente Parish Church,Kalilangan, Bukidnon,April 2001)
           That was during the YOUTH FOR CHRIST youth camp,held in Kalilangan, Bukidnon in our parish church (San Vicente Parish Church).That was a 3 days camp. Girls slept at the nuns quarter while the guys stayed at our priest place.We have lots of activities going on that 3 day camping and that includes meeting EDISON ROMANOS OSIOS, the start of a friendship whom that will last for a lifetime. When the last night of that camp came they needed to have a MC for the program and the participants selected randomly who would they be and God's plan as I may say,me and DONGKOY were chosen to be partners in crime that night.I remembered his sweaty underarms I dont know why maybe because of the tension and pressure he is feeling at that moment.La pa kaayo ko ka.relate ngano to coz la pa nako na.feel ang kilig kay I wasnt really attracted to him at that time.Sory to say he was not my type of guy.
Kaamulan Grounds (Youth for Christ Re-echo of the International Conference,May 2001)
            That was the second time ntga nag-meet mi..hahay at that time naa na ang kilig moment kay he was starting to show his affection.Paduol-duol panagsa then on the last day la na kaagwanta nakig 1 on 1 talk na jud sya nako ig ni prangka nga, IDOL TIKA>>for me before those lines were big deal..and it meant a lot.Then he started to ask for my contact information,unluckily la pako celfone ato nga time,so address na lang ta akong ihatag la lng nadayon.then nahuman to nga event knowing that Dongkoy idolized me and I thought was it. But I was wrong..
THEME: "Express Yourself" (YFC gathering at Pangantucan, Bukidnon, July 9,2001)
            Before this event took place I was able to give him my address in an amazing way.Laag ko ato nga time ila Mar Carlo Alcontin then naa naglabay nga hauler nga taga Bacusanon(iya place),then remember ko nya nga ask sa akong address mao ask ko ug pen ug paper para isulat akong address then after ana akong gipalihug tong driver nga ipahatag to kay Edison.and the rest was history..
            Naka receive na lang ko ug letter from him saying everything about how he felt in a very cute unique way.his 1st love letter for me nga gisi na kaayo run.
            A week after ato nga letter nagkita mi sa Pangantucan for the Party of YFC then naa man sya ato nga time,then nakalugar nasad mi ug storya through the help of her ate,si ate mie2x. She told me if pwede ba daw ko ma.storya ni Dongkoy then I just sat sa ila mini stadium(which is la  na didto run)and he asked me if unsa akong answer sa iya proposal.All of a sudden I just pointed out the 2 big volts found at the stadium,then luckily nakasabot sya nga pasabot to ug OO...that was it kami na.Then nag separate ways mi ato nga day while we were on our way home it started RAINING..as if the heavens is feasting for the 2 of us.
            After that event he always see to it nga maka send jud sya ug letter nako every week,almost twice a week.Bad kaayo ko kay after 4 letters nya ayha pako mo.reply.(COY while I'm writing this phrase na.feel nako imo presence,hope its true)And I kept all those letters up to the last one and placed it in an album.
            Our relationship turned out to be typical long distance way (writing letters,he visted me at least twice a month and we met during YFC activities).MY parents started to like him since he was respectfull to all, from my parents down to my lolos and lolas aside from that he was so close with my siblings they treated Dongkoy just like theie real kuya.He was also very fond with Queenie, my younger sister.

WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
Firehouse
I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise till the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die
So here we are face to face
And heart to heart
I want you to know we will
Never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
Cause I see my whole world
I see only you
Chorus:
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you
We will never say goodbye
I can't stop this feeling
There's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything when I look at you
#######################################
HERE FOR YOU
So you think you've got it all figured out
Well you know you can't make it alone
Everybody needs somebody to help them out
And you know I could be that someone
And if you ever get lost on life's highway
Don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know
Chorus:
I am here for you, always here for you
When you need a shoulder to cry on
Someone to rely on, I am here for you
So you think that love is long overdue
Tired of looking for someone to care
Let me tell you now the choice is up to you
But you know I will always be there
I am here for you, always here for you
When you're needin' someone to hold you
Remember I told you
I am here for you
I am here for you
So now you've got it all figured out
And you know you've found someone that cares
And if you ever need somebody to help you out
Well you know I will always be there
And if you ever get lost on life's highway
Don't know where to go
There's just one thing that I want you to know
Chorus
I am here for you, always here for you
When you're needin' someone to hold you
Remember I told you
I am here for you, I am here for you
#######################################
LOVE OF A LIFETIME
Firehouse
I guess the time was right for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives together day by day
We'll make a wish and send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true
With love that we can share
With you I never wonder - Will you be there for me
With you I never wonder - You're the right one for me
Chorus:
I finally found the love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found the love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart, I finally found the love of a lifetime
With every kiss our love is like brand-new
And every star up in the sky was made for me and you
Still we both know that the road is long
(But) We know that we will be together
Because our love is strong
Chorus
#######################################
ANGEL
Shooby dooby dooby doo woi
Shooby doo
Oh
Shooby doo dooby doo boi oi
Yeah, ah
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
Looking back Shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
You're a queen and so you should be treated
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Uh, uh
Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)
Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, well, girl I surrender
(Said thanks for giving me your love)
Now life is one big party when you're still young
And who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
Looking back Shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady

Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
