Fact or Fiction?

"Once Saved Always Saved" is this a Fact or Fiction?

     We had our Dgroup with my High school friends(Porjan) and Krisa was assigned to lead the topic; "Assurance Of  Salvation" which is also part of the topic in our Won By One for our Dgroup in CCF every thursday. In God's grace krisa smoothly delivered the message of course with the Holy Spirit guiding her. but in the end of our discussion we had some small talk with the question of "What your uncertain things right now?" all of us answer what those situations and things that happened for us to make uncertain. it is also good for us to hear so that we can pray for each one.
           But one of our friend who is also a Christian raise his point of view towards the discussion. He said that we have different learning towards Salvation. He actually didn't believe that Once Saved Always Saved. that is why that topic brought up. He even mentioned the there is a bible verse that we should Workout Our Salvation i got worried at first but i tried to catch up the situation so that there will be no Confusion regarding what krisa discussed awhile ago. I didn't directly agree nor disagree with his thoughts but i rather told them the importance that we read bible and the continuous learning for his word so that we will not be deceived. I Didn't try to answer because:
1) I dont want to create some arguments or exchange thoughts that will bring anyone to confusion especially some of us are starting to learn the word of God.
2) I want to talk to him personally in regards of my point of view but i also thought that maybe it is good to answer him if i know where to find all the bible verses that i know will prove our case.
3) I even thought to submit myself by believing in him, I realized that he is a man, i just learned from the bible that they are the one who should lead women. i dont want to correct him because i felt that i have no rights.

that's why when i got home i started to go back with the bible verses. i even looked for the bible verse stating that We should WORKOUT OUR SALVATION. it is not to prove him wrong but it is also for my spiritual growth i want to test if the knowledge that i know is from God or i was just deceived with lies. I am not saying that i am correct and they are wronged or vice versa. but i want to assure this teaching through the Bible.

So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.… - (Philippians 2:12-13)

 When Paul is writing to “work out your own salvation”, he is not talking about living in the fear of whether they are accepted by God in Christ or not. He is giving the Philippians the commission to make their salvation fruitful in the here and now. The fear and trembling is directly related to taking great care that they obey the Lord in ALL that they do. The good news is that we are not alone in this quest: God is working in you. It is His good pleasure to guide us in working out what we know to be true in our day-to-day (and sometimes minute by minute) activities.(source- http://www.thedailybibleverse.org/bible-verse-continue-to-work-out-your-salvation )

I am not happy that some thought that the verse that Paul wants to deliver in Philippians 2:12-13 is When you accept Jesus as Lord and savior you should still work to maintain your salvation. i am a bit sad that i didn't think about this one awhile ago so that i can correct him or even just give him an option on what to believe for. but i am more sad knowing that idea for salvation which is FAITH + WORK = Salvation
 it is like (JESUS + YOU as a Co-Savior = Salvation)
it is only shows that you are the one who maintain your salvation and not the works of Christ Alone!
We need a Savior! we need someone to restore the relationship with God. but if we can workout our own salvation then why the Lord Jesus have to die on the cross? so then, if we are a Co-Savior that we can even maintain or workout our salvation then you are telling that we are equally to God?

this will be the Probably reason why they don't believe in Once saved always saved:
Once saved always saved! we didn't want to believe in this because people might think that "Oh, so we're saved already because we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and savior! why not go out and have some sin" If this is your attitude right now I am telling you "You Should doubt your faith!" because if you really accept and believe for what He did for you on the cross it will not lead you for those hateful things of God but He will lead you to repent and He will transform you.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 corinthians 5:17)

Once saved always saved! "It can be abused by a lot of people. if you will let people know that doctrine they will not be afraid to have sin". But then, Who are you to judge those people? God gave us the knowledge about Him through His word but yet you refuse to share the message thinking that it is the right thing to discipline people.You deny to share the words without thinking that you are the one who making them blind in the Truth. Man needs a sure Salvation he is helplessly and hopelessly lost in the ruin of sin. Man can't save himself that's why we need a Savior! We need Jesus Christ.
"There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?" - (James 4:12)

Once saved always saved! what we are saying is that. "If you accept Him as Lord and savior you are already saved! but you can lose your salvation if you sin again to God"  first, why did the Lord saved you? Because we are a sinner, we sinned against Him. that's why the Lord have to take all the suffers, pain and death on the cross just to saved all of us. Then after your salvation, nagkasala ka ulit, hindi ba niya inako yun? bakit hindi ka na naman saved?. His sufferings and death on the cross is more than enough payment to redeemed us. so why not being saved at once by God is impossible? GOD's forgiveness is not given on installment. Jesus paid our sins. ONCE and For All. and like what i have discussed above, if your mind setting is to Okay to have a sin YOU SHOULD REALLY DOUBT YOUR FAITH! because if you really accept Him as Lord and Savior you will not continue to sin because you know that it is not pleasing to Him. Yes! we Christians fall for sin sometimes but in God's grace we stand again from that fall. and try to live on how God wants us to. We are not perfect but we are forgiven! the Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak (Matthew 26:41)
"So I am not really the one who does this thing; rather it is the sin that lives in me." -(Romans 7:17)

So what do you think is the problem? ang mag ma-matter nalang dito if your Acceptance to Jesus as Savior and Lord is real. so, it is really the relationship between you and Lord. and even your life can prove that kung nagiging fruitful ka. 
Ang Salvation hindi ini-earn! it is a free gift from God. parang blessings! you will not do good works to earn blessings because the truth is YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED sa sobrang blessed mo nakakagawa ka ng good works.
when we believe in Christ, He gave us all the merits of what He has done. We become righteous because of our faith. when we believe, we become righteous because of our faith in Christ. that is the good news. if you cannot be made righteous by believing, then you have to become righteous by working, by doing it yourself. the question is, can you?

Many verses in bible prove that it is true. (clarification: Does your acceptance to what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross is real? Did you really accept him as Lord and savior wholeheartedly? if Yes, here are some verses that will prove our Security in God.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." -(Matthew 7:21)
What is the WILL of the Father?
So they asked him,"What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?" Jesus Answered," What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent." -(John 6:28-29)
And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL". (Heb. 10:10)

• "The death He died, He died to sin ONCE FOR ALL; but the life He lives, He lives to God." (Romans 6:10)
• "For Christ also suffered ONCE for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit". (1 Peter 3:18)
• ‎"Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins ONCE FOR ALL when he offered himself."(Heb. 7:27)
• "so Christ was sacrificed ONCE to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him" (Heb. 9:28)
• it is FINISHED! (John 19:28-30)

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Father God, we want to thank you that it is not based on our works, obedience, purity that we have been saved. but because of the finished work of Christ on the cross. Lord Jesus thank you that you gave us the right to become children of God. and thank you Father God that you demonstrated your Love through sending your one and only son Jesus Christ that while we are still sinners CHRIST DIED FOR US.

Fellowship with Young Professionals :)

Me and My High school friends(PORJAN) decided to have our Discipleship-Group(D-Group) in the circle of our friends. we really planned to have it since me, krisa and benjie are also part of D-group in CCF Imus every thursday. and it really shows that we've grown a lot in our maturity in Christ because of having that kind of fellowship and discipleship. that's why we really wanted to encourage all our friends to join with us every thursday because we want them also to experience that kind of feeling in learning God's word. but of course as we all know, it was not easy to make it up. they are also serving different churches, and some are busy working on that days. 
       We really wanted that fellowship to happen in our PORJAN! But we are just only planning and there's no one in us who really pushing that to happen, tsk. tsk! (Porjan style). Oops dont get me wrong! because in God's grace all of my friends in porjan are all growing Christians :) We are really blessed that God didn't let any of us to be far from Him. it was started in our High School that they are only 2 Christians in our class and we argued them about our religious belief. but the time goes by, Where we are on our different ways in our college, we experience the love of God and his power. step by step, one by one, till every one submit our lives to God and accept His finished work on the cross. We do bible study every friday, when we are hanging out we never forget to talk about God and how great He is in our lives. We talk about his word and how we understand. so, Then some of us received Christ also through our circle of friends. 
 
(what i am trying to say awhile ago :)) we can't make everyone attend or atleast some join in our session. that's our struggle for so many months already. But in God's perfect timing, everything happens for His perfect plans and will. Unexpectedly, after our D-group in CCF, on our way home me,krisa and benjie decided to go with our friends! I felt really tired that day (physically and emotionally). but krisa (my Friendship) told me not to go home first and let have some fellowship in Dan's house. even though i want to take some rest, i realized that we are planning this for a long time. so, i just set aside my feelings and quickly change my clothes then go back to Dan's house. And so, it happened :) our first Fellowship and discipleship gathering. we are only 5 (dan,benjie,joseph,krisa and i) but it's fine. our Holy spirit are really on fire to worship and learn in God's word. and I am also blessed because they trust me to lead our D-group that day and to share the knowledge that God has provided in me (thank you for the Holy Spirit who really speaks through me that day). We experienced the touch of the Lord in hearts, everyone became an inspiration to each one. We learned from his word. We experienced His power, we feel that He is really on the center listening and the same time guiding us on our learning. 
That night, We decided that we should not let the enemies hinder us to grow and to be a channel of God to our other friends to share his love and greatness through His word. We will be a God's instrument to touch other people's heart and lives. 

YIEEEE!! We are really serious about this one, that we even set the dates and assigned people that will facilitate for every topic. (everyone will be given a chance to lead our d-group so that everyone will learn how to share the good news) Tomorrow will be our First OFFICIAL D-Group day :) and we already discussed it to our friends and they all agreed! :) PRAISE GOD! 

indeed, that it is really a good feeling that there is someone who you can walk with by faith. and someone who can help and guide you in your growth in Christ.

Speak Life II: Life and Death!

"The tongue has the power of life and death,
    and those who love it will eat its fruit."- Proverbs 18:21

Your tongue has the power to Release Life and Death to Others. (Your tongue has the power to Encourage someone or to crush someone.)
Sometimes people say things about us that hurt us so bad whether its intended or unintended to crush us.

I worked in an airline company before as a ground attendant.I was assigned at check-in counter where i have to deal with different types of passenger. Daily routine na nga daw talaga sa airport na may nagwawala, nagagalit na pasahero or what we called "Inconvenient Passengers" (reasons;Cancelled or Delayed Flights, issues with check-in baggage weight, offloaded passengers and many more..). There is some incon passengers who will speak bad words, some will criticize the system of the company, criticize you as a person (fortunately di ko naexperience ma-criticize as a person.) lahat nagagawa nila for the excuse of being angry and irritable.(of course, i understand some of them, we didn't meet their expectations.) but because providing customer service is one of my responsibility wala ako magawa but to receive those kind of harsh words.  even though i tried not to be so affected but i always went home crying, I dont know if i was so sensitive pero ang bilis ko talaga masaktan sa mga painful words especially came from others.and well I admit i am the type of person who are always conscious on what other people says about me.(but that was Me before).even my mom told me to fight back with those passengers haha (she just hate to see me crying bcoz of that) but of course i wouldn't do that. 

There so many times that i allowed words to crushed me inside. I am a jolly person, fun-loving, laging game and always tried to make other people's happy. that's why they all assumed that Being teased or bullied by my friends and hearing foul or hurtful words are okay because i still smiled after being used as the center of joke. but deep inside those words retain in me, words that are meant to crushed me on the inside. but i also thank the feeling of being verbal bullied, because that experience taught me not to do that to others. not to speak words that will destroy them on the inside. because of course I know the feeling and it makes me so pathetic. 

"Do to others as you would have them do to you"- Luke 6:31 


But Praise to God! One day my brother shared a message to me He told me that the words you tend to say whether it's good or bad is like a seed na pagtinanim mo sa iba it can be a fruitful or it can destroy them. and same thing para dun sa mag rereceive ng words, if you will accept or believe those negative words that they're trying to sow in you, it will end up crushing you inside. and if you accept naman yung words that brings life nagiging fruitful ka. From that on i always choose the seed na magiging fruitful ako.

"The only way people can crush you is, if you actually trust their words more than you trust your God"- (topic that was assigned for me to teach in our kids church)
If you trust what God says about you more than what people say about you, they can't crush you. but when people try to crush you with their words, trust your God. 

Know your God! know what God says about you. write it in your heart! so that whenever satan speak lies on you, NO EFFECT at all. :) because you know the truth from God who is Almighty, Omnipotent all Powerful :) 

To God all the Glory!

Start to Speak Life.

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit"-Proverbs 18:21

The bible says that our tongue has the power of life and death. (Meaning: your tongue has the power to encourage someone or to crush someone. it can also gives life and death to yourselves).

Our Pastor (Ptr.Rick Oasin of ACCF) also taught that the power of tongue can release life and death even to ourselves. I've learned that whatever words na nirerelease natin positive or negative nire-reap natin yun.(ex. if we feel something in our body that is aching, we say "Uh ANG SAKIT! ang sakit ng likod ko, ang sakit ng tuhod ko, ang sakit ng puso ko! blah blah.. etc.) but the truth is in God's grace we have the power to heal that in the name of Jesus! so instead of saying "ANG SAKIT SAKIT TALAGA!" release life from your tongue saying "In Jesus name, be healed!". 

"Change the way you think about sickness - you're the one with power & authority, how dare sickness touch my body, I'm the temple of the Holy Ghost"-Andrew Wommack

I admire those people that even if they are less fortunate they know how to release the power of life from their tongues. I remembered before we met the mom of our friend. i asked her "How are you tita?" i was shocked when she replied "Ito sobrang yaman" we laughed at her thinking that "Hindi rin masyadong mayabang si tita no?" but she answered again "Dapat lagi mo sasabihing mayaman ka, kasi pag sinabi mo na naghihirap ka, nako! maghihirap ka talaga" tita really had a point :) this is not a superstition or pampaswerte but she was just releasing life that she know she will reap soon. you're not doing this to make you at ease, it's nonsense. but you should also believe from what life you speak. 

Me as well experienced crushing my own self, sometimes when i am having a hard time or feeling depressed i always express the feeling of "Pagod na ko! pagod na pagod na ko! Ayoko na." as if the the world is on my shoulder but the reality was "Nag-iinarte" lang ako. and so, then i realized na lagi ko nalang sinasabi na pagod ako at hirap na hirap ako. but the word of God show me the truth that what i've experienced is just an aftershock after satan trying to attack me but then my Lord becomes my powerful shield. meaning it's my Lord who really received that pain, that hurt, that hit! 2000 years ago. So whenever i feel hurt i always give thanks to God for i know that He is not the one who gave that to me, but He is the one who take the pain in behalf of me.

  

Day Dreaming

i dont know where to start. but i just want to put all things on writing. to express who am i right now!

Disclaimer: My english is fabulous :)

i love to DAY DREAM! i spent almost half of my day lying on bed(oops everywhere kung saan abutan kahit sa bus), close eyes but awake and alive making story in my mind. take note with complete details: lines, person involved, reaction, beginning, middle, end of the story. EVERYTHING! name it.. maybe this story of mind is the effect of all movies, teleserye that i've watched!  or maybe because i am a good writer :)) Ahaha anyways..

in my day dream I am the person that i want to be, im with the people whom i want to be, achieving all my dreams with a nice and exciting story. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT! yes, to make sound interesting i also put problems and trials in my story, but of course i know where the story will come, so Let it be! in my day dream im too far for who i am now! im with the person whom i love and admire (ops I'ts not constant anyway, it depends on the person who i admire for that time and he will be the man in my dreams:) and ohmygosh were too far in our relationship but in reality I DO NOT HAVE ONE :) haaayy my crazy little things that i do in the name of LOVE! (sometimes in my story, i already get married AHAHA, too much(i know right?) started in courtship, going in church, anniversaries, trials, family etc..) haaaayyyy one word to say KALERKS!!

but one day i woke up! i realized "LAGI NALANG BA KO GANITO? HANGGANG IMAGINATION KO NALANG BA TALAGA LAHAT NG ITO?" then it all turns into sadness, frustration, hopeless. sayang naman lahat ng dreams ko! gusto ko to mangyari sa buhay ko! but I dont know how to start. Just one day when im in the middle of my day dreaming it pop up into my mind "OOPS! I have to stop day dreaming, lahat ng iniimagine hindi nagkakatotoo! (BUT i can't. lagi ako hinihila pahiga para icontinue yung kwento.. urghh!!)

then One time napagod ako! daming nasasayang na oras.. dumadaan yung araw wala man lang ako na-acomplished! nagagalit lang ako sa sarili ko! FRUSTRATED! bakit ba kasi ganito eh!! it makes me weak, lack of self esteem, everything! actually i always pray naman eh. to give thanks and to say sorry. i also pray to help me to achieve all of my dreams then after that i'll go back to my imagination.

But that day was really different! it pushes me to pray to God! talk to him and tell to him everything. not just a thank you and sorry and wish! but i tell to God everything on what's happening in me even though i know that he all know that before me. but i ask him! that i need his guidance, that i want to stop doing this routine, that i realized that im wasting my time, that i turned my back for all the responsibilities that i promised to do! especially to share the message of the lord, and to encourage my family to know God! i ask him to please help me to stop doing this, and make me responsible enough! i say it again to him LORD! take it over! you're in charge now! you're the BOSS! tell me what to do! im giving you everything, my dreams, my goal, my fears, use it for your GLORY.. Lord im getting tired to do nothing. i want you to change me! the way that you want me to be! LET YOUR WILL BE DONE!  I spend my time talking to the lord, asking for his help, and for his answer! God is good! for real! IT'S TRUE that When you have the words of the Lord in your heart, and believe that He is in you. you will not easy to deceive and you will find the ANSWER!

GOD show me where to start! FIND A JOB! for me to achieve my goals and dreams in life, start to invest! and YES i apply for a work (online muna) then after 1 day some of the companies started to call (but i didn't pass any of it) but i am thankful for that, God knows me a lot! i am not full hearted with those jobs. as in gusto ko lang mag-apply! hehe alam niya na hindi ako magiging masaya sa  mga work na yun at hindi ako para dun. kaya no pain at all! :) hindi lang pera ang habol ko, i need a work na kung saan magiging masaya ako ng hindi ako susuko agad (based on my past working experienced)! GOD IS GOOD! next thing TO DO: Expose yourself, (masyado lumiit mundo ko nung puro ako at imagination ko lang) so i live for 3 days in Paranaque where my cousins are all there. ansaya :) di nawala si lord! me and my cousin decided for a walk-in application. and gotcha! mas masaya, nakakapagod but it's all worth it! gusto ko yung nature ng work na yun, at mismo yung lugar :) alam ko nakakapagod but im willing to take a risk! (wag mconfused hindi pa ko tinatawagan hehe hoping and praying) IN JESUS NAME! makakapasok ako sa company na yun :) 

and what's the good news for all of this? I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO spend for DAY DREAMING! :))) hindi na ko ako yung tinatamad palagi :) binalik ni Lord yung sigla ko na nawala sa akin :) THANK YOU LORD JESUS supeerrrr thankyouuuu GOD!! 

Lesson: if you have imagination without working on it,  IT'S A DREAM! but if you have imagination and working on it. IT'S AN ACHIEVEMENT :

I Once became an Inspiration

Everyone can be an inspiration :)

My Failure and disappointments in life makes me weak! i really hate disappointments, especially to my family! i dont want to disappoint them for any reasons!  but i admit that even though i hate and i dont want to experience that, i still experienced that!

My last year in college, its almost perfect! im so excited to graduate.. me and my mom has plans already! im excited to wear my black toga and to go to PICC, (i assume to have flying colors as well because i got the grades to retain my scholarship from my org, in short i have a good grades. but i didn't expect too much, for me it's just a bonus!) But i didn't make it! because in my first semester of 4thyear, I got FAILED in my Thesis subject which is pre-requisite for THESIS2 that we have to take for 2nd semester. so meaning i can't take my thesis 2! there's no any offer but to extend Another year in my university and take it! it's hard for me! the fact that the title of my thesis and our chosen topic is about my own Organization which is FTG! and at that time i was the President of that org, so i all have the instruments for that study, i know the background. but I FAILED! 58. something or maybe 59 is my grade and the passing is 60! just because I missed the quiz! i cried.. (Literally Dying) ! i lost everything! i got all my plans turn to zero! DISAPPOINTED BIGTIME! i wanted to quit! (NG DAHIL SA ISANG SUBJECT! NG DAHIL SA ISANG REQUIREMENT SINIRA LAHAT NG PANGARAP KO! HINDI BA NILA NAISIP NA MAY MGA PANGARAP NA PWEDENG MASIRA! TAONG UMAASA AT INAASAHAN) even i shout this in a loudest voice! There's nothing I can do! but, thanks to my God! He guide me, He's with me in times of trouble! i lose hope but i found it on him! he gain my strength. he renew it actually! my family helps me also, they didn't show me the sadness but they show me how to fight! and not to give up! they offer me the message and the words of the Lord! "DIBA MAY LORD KA? OH BAKIT KA SUMUSUKO!-Mama" AKALA KO NAMAN KUNG ANO NA NAGYARI SAYO! GRADES LANG YAN! WALANG GRADE SA LANGIT! DI MO KAYLANGAN-kuya bj

so that day i decided to write! to speak up and to shout the hurts and how i am lifted up by those words from the lord and from my family. so i made a note entitled "EPIC FAIL, THESIS CONFESSION". I just posted it on facebook, i didn't do that to impress others nor neither to inspire others but to confess the emotion. then i got many LIKES and COMMENTS.. they all trying to cheer me up! saying that they love me, na okay lang yan! everything... but there is someone that i can never be forgotten!

she made a write ups about me! she made a blog telling how she's so much inspired in me. how that post change her point of view towards the situation. her name is FRANCES ARTIAGA (a bright and lovely girl) when i saw it, GOSH (speechless) IS DIS FOR REAL??:)  i was very flattered! i just see myself smiling for a long time. it says there that (partial)

HER SMILE, paints a million words, expresses thousands of thoughts, and touches hundreds of emotions. ;)

I was feeling down that day. Thinking there was no hope, i sat and stared blankly at my room. I suddenly felt the urge of opening my facebook account. And there it was, the inspiration that lifted me from hopelessness. 

http://popayaiden.tumblr.com/page/2 (just check her tumblr account)

she thought that i wake her up for that emotion and realization but she didn't know that i am the one who lifted up on what she did! it makes me realize that HEY! THERE'S SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU! someone whom you can touch and inspired for somehow! and if you can do that how much more to others?? :) SHARE THE WORD OF GOD! INSPIRE OTHERS ON HOW DOES THE LORD WORKS IN YOUR LIFE! FOR HE IS GREAT AND MIGHTY! i know that there's a lot of hearts that we can touch too.. to show how wonderful, how perfect and beautiful our God is :)

God is good! God is real! HE IS WORKING! that time i know he prepared everything! for me and to her to understand our situation. He used me to bring him Glory! but in return He makes me more flattered and thankful :) God is good! he wants us all SHINE upon of his glory :) YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME GOD! YOU DESERVE ALL THE PRAISES AND HONOR FROM US! ALL THE RECOGNITION :) THANKS GOD! :) i love you JESUS! MY LORD AND SAVIOR! THANK YOU..

The story of Me and my Best Friend

"I’ve learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. "

Ma. Roni Anghelita Abundo that’s the name of my best friend :) we called each other “bes” but i think roni has a different spelling for that “Bez” haha (jejemon).

So, how me and my best friend met? hmm 5years ago when i transferred in Victorious Christian Montessori College (VCMC) where i spent my last year in high school.. hmm well i am one of the new comers at that time, because they are all together since elementary days. in VCMC there’s only one section for every grade/year (unless there’s a lot of students who enrolled for that year). so meaning they know each other for a long time. and gosh its a new adjustment for me (i thought) i feel my nerves! when i heard that they are all Stick together friends. that’s what i thought but the reality it is not that difficult to enter in this friendship like what i imagined.. we’re 26 in the class.

Well its easy to know them all! new faces, new characters, everything! they’re all nice, good and really friendly :) its easy to adapt because they let me enter in their small world! actually 1st day pa lang tumatawa na ko! kasi lahat sila cool, but there something in this guys that its so hard to explain, its like uhmm?? (like what i've said its hard to explain) haha basta dito ko natutunan maging matinong babae haha and maybe because the nature of school. being in a christian school. basta lahat sila may pagpupush sa pag-aaral. i gain friends, boys and girls.. but there’s a girl who i am not really close to and yeah its her! Roni :) who always sitting in front, first day of class todo recite (pasikat) haha keme! then when they introduced me about the personality of each person, isa si roni sa mga bumida sa aking memory haha kasi si roni may pagka arrogant daw yan, simula sa signature clothes, personal things, family lahat na! haha at parang lagi nasa debate dahil laging may ni-raraise na points (nagkukuwento lang ako bes :p ) so, its not easy for us mag bonding. even though nagkakausap kami, pero in related topics lang. compare sa iba na halos buhay pamilya at pag-ibig alam ko na..

So, dumaan na ang Christmas, new year at malapit na magtapos ang aming pag aaral, until one day! (one day talaga) haha in God’s time and will. JANUARY 7, 2008 around 2-3pm. me and my mom had a little fight na naging reason ng aking paglalayas! (haha eksenadora lang). pero bago ko lumayas naisip ko munang dumaan sa dentist para kunin ung pinagawa ko na retainer atska ko lalayas. haha lol. pagpasok ko sa pagawaan nakita ko agad si roni na nagsusukat ng retainer. of course initial reaction *nagulat* at dahil magkakilala kami, we have the same question *anong ginagawa mo dito?* haha but the more surprising here is that day is Roni’s Birthday :) so ininvite niya ko to celebrate her birthday, we went to SM Bacoor (take note: na parehong my retainer!). we watched a movie then kumain ata kami sa jollibee?? haha not sure.. at ang weird dito walang awkward feeling bilang hindi naman kami ganun kclose. but because we need each other's company nagclick kami! :) i need some one to talk to kasi my problema ko habang siya she need someone na makakasama para magcelebrate ng bday. that special moment of us, kami ang pinagsama ni lord:) that day mas nakilala ko siya, nag uusap lang kami nagpapalipas ng oras. kesyo si advice siya habang ngcecelbrate ng bday :) imagine diyan nag umpisa ang pagkakaibigan na pang FOREVER :)

and after that day kami na lagi ang magkasama sa school, sa kalokohan, sa lovelife na suportahan, family problems, angsts. Personal issues AS IN LAHAT!! :) ilang months nalang matatapos na High school days namin, nakakabitin kasi parang nag uumpisa pa lang friendship namin. pero those days di ko naramdamang bago lang kaming mag kaibigan. parang ang tagal tagal nanamin! kilalang kilala na namin bawat kalokohan, strategy at kilos ng bawat isa. haha nagkaron nga kami ng kaaway eh, as in partners in crime kami! haha atleast we experienced ang bagets moment. yung may nakaaway sa kalye.. hahaha gosh (4john knows that! MSG days :)  pero malupet dun buong girls ng 4john, pinangunahan lang namin ni roni at ng butihing teacher na nakikibagets din na si mam dio :) haha (baliw).. 

until now, na nasa college at patapos na sa pag aaral(actually dapat tapos na, pero dahil mahal namin ang isat isa, hintayan muna daw ang porjan haha). we still have the same friendship actually it much more deeper relationship pa nga :) we know each other, we need each other, we love each other.. kahit malayo siya sa akin, after High school kasi she went to Bohol na para dun mag-aral. pero laging pinipilit nun umuwi every summer or Christmas para lang magkabonding kami! ;) hanggang ayan meron na dumagdag sa amin ang cute na baby na si "Shawn" :) ang pinaka paborito kong inaanak.. at bunga ng kanyang pag-ibig….

till then i just realized hindi naman pala siya mayabang, meron lang talaga siyang kayang ipagyabang, hindi naman pala siya pasikat, she just needed someone na makaka appreciate sa kanya. hindi lang naman pala siya pang debate, she can also be someone to ask for advices:) siya yung totoong kaibigan na kayang mag treasure ng friendship, yung tipo ng tao na kylangan mo muna kilalanin para makita mo ang pinaka magandang bagay sa mundo! kasi na sa kanya lahat yun..  and the best thing naging part din siya ng relationship ko kay lord. isa siya sa nagpupush sa akin to know more about God! :) im lucky that my best friend and I, are sisters in heaven :) God is good. he knows the best for me, that’s why he gave roni to my life :)
