It’s been awhile …

          April 07, 2013, Sunday, a day of thanking the lord for all the good things that happened and also to pray for the bad things to go. Today is the second time that I went to church this year and this is something special because I went with my special someone. Maybe because he was the good thing that happened to my life that I should thank for. We got to the church (Kapilya) at exactly 3:10 in the afternoon and we went straight to getting his Katibayan or the proof that he really went to church in the locale of San Pedro. After that, we went inside and as I sat in the long chair at the second floor of the Kapilya, I’m longing to be in here, which was the feeling I felt that time.

            It’s not surprising at all because it’s been awhile since the last time I went here. I think, I was 13 or 14 years old when I was still going to church and after that, it’s for me to decide whether I will be continuing to go or not. Then the choice was clearly made, I decided not to go on.

            One of friends told me this line, “nanlamig na rin ako sa pagsamba pero dahil sa kanya sumigla ulit ako.” My friend is pertaining to her new found love that made her come back. So maybe just like her, I can go back and continue. I’m still young that I don’t know what path should I take or choose but I know, being with him is the best decision I made and that will be eventually be the bridge for me to go back. I hope so, let’s see what will happen then.

 

“Thank you God for all the blessings and please continue to take good care of my family and loved ones. ~ Amen”

FIREPROOF my marriage/relationship

I never thought that the movie entitled “Fireproof” will left a mark in my mind and heart. It was a good movie with so many lessons that the people who are in knots of relationships and marriages should watch. Well, I’m not married though I’m in a relationship that somehow resembles Catherine and Caleb in that movie. I always nag and say something harsh to my boyfriend to the point that I also forgot what the word respect is. I always thought of myself and be a selfish girlfriend who always yell and gets easily irritated by no reason at all. Some says, it’s a girl thing, boys will never understand what girls are trying to say if you will not read between their gestures and words. I remember the line in the movie that was said by Michael to Caleb, “Woman is like a rose, if you treat her right, she’ll bloom. If you don’t, she will.” There are lots of lines that are meaningful that you’ll definitely get something or learn from it. Some of those lines are,

“When a man is trying to win the heart of a woman, he studies her. He learns her likes, dislikes, habits and hobbies but after he wins her heart and marries her, he often stops learning about it. The amount he studied her before marriage was equal to a highshool degree, he should continue to learn about her until he gains a college degree, a master’s degree and ultimately a doctor’s degree. ”

“But marriage is not fireproof sometimes you get burnt.”

“Fireproof doesn’t mean that fire will never come, but that when it comes you’ll be able to withstand it.”

“Watch out for parasites! A parasite is anything that latches into you or your partner and sucks the life out of your marriage. They’re normally in the form of addictions, like gambling, drugs or pornography. They promise pleasure but grow like a disease and consume more and more of your thoughts, time and money. They steal away your loyalty and heart from those you love. Marriages rarely survive if parasites are present.  If you love your wife, you must destroy any addictions that has your heart, if you don’t it will destroy you.”

“I am sorry. I have been so selfish. For the past seven years, I have trampled on you with my words and with my actions. I have loved other things when I should have loved you. In the last few weeks, God has given me a love for you that I never had before. And I’d asked him to forgive me and I’m hoping and praying that somehow you will be able to forgive me too. Catherine, I do not want to live the rest of my life without you.”

“Is it too late to ask you to grow old with me?”

 

After watching this, I felt as if I’m very fortunate to have a loving boyfriend who sticks with me all through out. Fireproof is really an inspirational movie that will let its viewers realize the importance of marriage and the relationship with God. And the moral lesson of the movie is …

Caleb always tells his members this momentous line, “You never leave your partner especially in a fire.” <ym>

I WILL DEFINITELY MISS MY STUDENTS!

02/07/2013
Thursday

I’m very emotional a while ago when I said to my students my last goodbye to them. I spend a month teaching 5 Korean kids the English language and at first, I thought that I will not get too attached to them but it came out that I’m the one who will miss them so badly.

January 07, 2012, the day that I became an English teacher to Korean students. I’m very nervous at that time that I was going to introduce my self in front and meet everyone. I applied as a teacher for the money (of course) but each day that passed by made me enjoyed teaching them to the point that I told myself, “this is really fun, being a teacher is really really fun especially because of having great and intelligent students.” unlike the others, my first day was very smooth flowing and enjoyable at the same time. My first student is SO JEONG or AMY, her English name. She was very energetic and loves to talk just like me that’s why, we got along well from the very beginning. My second students are SO JEONG again and BONG KYUNG or FREDY, his English name. I thought they will not be good together but they showed me how good they are, may it be in class or in being sociable. My next student for the third week are, CHE WON or SERENA, her English name and SANG HOON or MONKEY, I don’t know his English name but he wants to be called monkey. They are really kids, inside and out. They loved to play and watched movies but that was not a big deal for me since I used all those things for them to make a movie review and for them to enjoy my class as well.  For the fourth week, my student is none other than BONG KYUNG. I like to teach him since he is a hard worker and he always studied very hard so in that way, he got everything he wanted in learning English. For the last week and only for one day, YURA became my student. She doesn’t have an English name but she said that I should give her one. So I made her choose between BARBIE or PRINCESS since she’s pretty but she doesn’t like the two names, she’s shy to be called like that. In the end, I always teased her by calling her PRINCESS BARBIE all the time. I’m not expecting too much from them but they proved me wrong, they are really the best and one of a kind. Thank God I met them, I became their teacher and they became my students.

Moreover, all the teachers prepared an amazing race type of game. My station was number two (2) and it was all about blowing the flour out of the big bowl to get the paper with the sentence that should be memorize by the challengers. It was fun and they made me laughed really hard because of their faces after blowing the flour. HAHA! They also made something for the teachers, guess what? They pushed and threw the teachers in the swimming pool and I was like, “hey! I don’t know how to swim!” but they ignored me. I knew it was the last that’s why, it’s okay.

Today, my last day of becoming a teacher made me really sad and to think that they will all go back in Korea. I remembered that CHE WON and SO JEONG cried that’s why I’m really touched because it means that they are also sad in leaving the Philippines and me. I will miss all of them including YUMI, BYONG CHAN, BYONG JUN, ALEX, SANG MOK, SU MIN and SUN PYO even DEREK and my co teachers as well, MILLEN, FOXY, ANGELA, ARIANNE, JUSTINE, NIKKO and JULES. And most of all, I will definitely miss my great students SO JEONG, BONG KYUNG, SANG HOON, CHE WON and YURA. See you guys somewhere, the world is round so we might see each other again. :’(

 

P.S

Hi Che Won, if you will be able to read this, all I want to say to you is that, “don’t cry, okay? We’ve been close and I know that the past days are rough since you always got into fights with the other kids, just remember, be good, study hard, always smile because it makes you more beautiful. Thank you for always saying “I love you teacher”  and “I like you teacher” because it always made my day bright and good. This is the first time that I will say, “I love you too Che Won.” It’s a bit late but I know you can feel it, I’m just too shy to say it to you personally :’) take care KIYOMI! We’ll see each other again <3

my birthday will not be completed without my friends, family, God and YOU,
thank you :

I don’t know what to say nor type at this very moment. All I know is that, I’m thankful and very much happy and contented to what I have in my life right now. Oh! Before I tell something about this picture, I want everyone to know that yesterday is our anniversary and it is really something that I will never ever forget :)  I’m not expecting anything or something from him because all I want is to celebrate our special month and day together. Actually, I want to go to EK (Enchanted Kingdom) so badly to the point that I insisted it though I knew that we don’t have allotted budget for that. But it is not a sudden decision to go there, we planned it for about many months ago. It will not be a case for me since I already went there, already know what it looks like or what ride will bring the most out of it. Then ask why I still insisted to go there? I want to make our anniversary special! I want to go there with him because he doesn’t know what it feels like to be there and he doesn’t have any clue about it.  Given that circumstance, I’m eager to go there with him, period! And he really did not disappoint me, he made a way for us to still go and enjoy our whole day there. At last, the day that I’m waiting has finally arrived, December 02, 2012. Just like a local Filipino, he went to pick me up at home. Our target time is 2 in the afternoon but also because of Filipino time, he ended up being at our house at 3:30 in the afternoon. He called up and told me that he was outside our house and I thought we are ready to go so I grab my things and went out. To my surprise, he has flowers, bouquet of flowers with him. He covered his face through the use of it and it is really sweet that it left me shocked and speechless. He told me that he knows how I wanted to receive a bouquet of flowers and because of that, he gave me one. My mom saw what happened and she was also shocked then she helped me get the flowers inside. How about the pink box (Silver Works)? He gave me a ring with our names engraved with it and he thought that I was actually expecting it. And the very kilig part of it is when he gave it to me at the swan lake, we rode a swan and he drove it at the very end. He gave me the box and opened it, and put the ring on my left ring finger and the same goes for me, I put his ring on his left ring finger as well. It’s like a dream, I don’t know that he will buy a ring, he did give me a clue but to tell you guys and him the truth, I really don’t have any idea about the ring thing. It really made me happy. I’m sorry to my followers if this blog is too long but please let me be because anniversary is just once in a while and I want to treasure every bit of our moment on that day. I want to be a princess every since I was a kid, I like to read fairy tales and I dream that someday, I will find my own prince and then he came and proved me by making me feel that magic do exists and dreams do come true. He is really my prince charming not just because he looks like one but because he is acting like one. ❤

Thousand Years

The day we met

Frozen, I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I found a home for my heart
Beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubts, suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

I’ll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

♥♥♥
