Last Sunday its been four months since KC passed but it still feels like yesterday. Sometimes, I forget that she’s gone then I remember and I stop for awhile. She’s gone. Last Friday, I was again going through a major decluttering sesh when I stumbled upon our old class pictures and autograph books (do you remember those, those were so cool.hehe. but I guess you have friendster now.) In those cheesy dedication pages she’d always tell me to enjoy life cause its too short for anything. So true.
Damn, i just miss you so much kace. You and your million books, insightful thoughts and dried grape diets. I really really miss you and i wish you were still here.
Somedays, I miss you more. This is one of those days….
My dear angel, why have you gone so soon?

***
ONE SWEET DAY
Sorry i never told you
All i wanted to say
And now it’s too late to hold you’cause you’ve flown away
So far away
Never had i imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me keeps me alive
Alive
Chorus:
And i know you’re shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we’ve lost along the way
And i know eventually we’ll be together
One sweet day
Eventually we’ll sing in heaven
Darling i never showed you
Assumed you’d always be there
And i took your presence for granted
But i always cared
And i miss the love we shared

Chorus

Although the sun will never shine the sameI’ll always look to a brighter day
Lord i know when i lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as i pray

Chorus
Chorus


Sorry i never told youAll i wanted to say

cge kayo mamiss niyo rin ako..
hmmppp…

I got so caught up in reading a walk to remember for the nth time today. I was crying buckets when I reached the end. That book always gets to me. But this time, it meant so much more. You see, I read that book when i was thirteen. I know, I know what did I even know back then huh? So, anyway I thought that the whole landonandjamie thing could never happen in real life. Since, hello where did you ever see a popular guy fall for a girl like jamie.
This gets my mind thinking-again. You see I know a new landon and jamie. Really and thier story is real since its happening now at this time and age. As cheesy as it may be (trust me i am not like this all the time, just really want to figure this whole thing out…)

Landon is three years older than Jamie. (unlike the book where they are both seniors) Jamie’s never had a boyfriend (just like in the book but this jamie doesn’t have one by default but the single status has grown on her and she has decided to wait). Landon is popular with girls chasing after him, having girlfriends that are considered manila’s finest. Jamie isn’t ugly, just plain looking just like in the book. She’s had her share of heartaches so she’s choosen to wait on the Lord. She sees Landon and knows nothing about him. She’s attracted. And has been for almost two years now. As Jessica darling would say it, “its better to convince yourself that your in love with someone you know nothing about”. Go figure.
But finally Jamie gets to know him, at least a side of him. And its not what she’s expected. They’re total opposites. Jamie’s sweet, serves the Lord and does not go and count boyfriends. Landon does believe in the Lord, goes to a good school and is probably reponsible, but what irks Jamie is the fact that Landon may be all over the place. This fails to meet her overly high expectations.
So what happens to her and Landon now? Well Jamie doesn’t know. She doesn’t even know if Landon know she exsists but still she’s praying for him ( like what Jamie did in the book, dont want to believe me? Read chapter 11 page 218).
This is where my question comes in does jamie even have a landon? Is she meant to spend her entire life looking at him from the sidelines? Does landon even know she exsists?
This scares her so much. The idea of being invisible scares her. but still she prays, hopes and strengthens her faith. (isn’t this what the real jamie did?).

So, I guess there isn’t really an ending to this story yet. But still guys could you help Jamie out? Should she go out with someone totally opposite from who she is? Should she let him in when the time comes?
See,that’s what’s wrong with Jamie, she’s too damn scared and the even scarier thing is what she fears the most might be true. Landon may be another jerk who’s about to break her heart-again. Cynical? Ohwell. maybe that’s just the way it is.
I really hope she’s wrong. I really hope that Landon isn’t like that.
would she ever have him?


….i figure myself…

boo-hoo…

Me: “Sometimes I think its unfair. I am only asking for one person. Some have everything or rather everyone. This is the first time that im ever asking for something. Why can’t He give me that?”

(silence. i am such a whiner.)

Abbie: “Bia, maybe He’s just calling you back. He can give you everything-anything but He has to be sure that You focus on Him and always put Him first”

(it takes a minute before I can fully take this all in.)

Me: “Well, can I still pray for that person?”

Abbie: “of course but you have to be patient and have faith. That’s all you need. Seek Him first and His kingdom, everything else will just follow.”

(silence. i say nothing because I feel guilty that I lost faith over such a petty thing)

Abbie: “You’ve said it yourself when the time comes it will be perfect. We’re too young to worry. Fall in love with God first, everything will be easier to accept-the good and the bad. He will bring you someon better than you can ever imagine.”

(this brings me to tears. know why? cause she’s right and im too damn stubborn to realize that.)

Thanks Abbie. Your the best. Your one of my bestest friends, my adviser, my counselor. Thank you so much cause when it comes to the Big Man up there well you know a lot. Thanks, I gained perspective.

…hey maybe you should too… *wink*
