you and i

perze has alot of stuff on his mind these days that are trying to keep him down, but we both know “God Loves him”
i am running around these days trying to accomplish a lot of stuff that needs to be done, and sometimes, it gets overburdening…but we both know “God loves me.”
“God loves you Perze.”
“God loves you Marchesa.”
“…he will quiet you with His love…” -Zeph. 3:17
everything will be okeys mahal….in everything, we must be joyful…
I barely remember the movie, nor my blog is related to it but yesterday I’ve experienced them first hand.
While going home Saturday night, I was feeling a little iffy. I got home and prepared to sleep, 30 minutes after closing my eyes I woke up burning with fever, maybe it was the chilly night but I woke up and grabbed some tylenol then went back to sleep. Woke up again 30 minutes later and turned the heat up because I was really shivering. I looked at my watch. It was 4 in the morning. The next thing I noticed I got a call from marchesa, she told me it was 8, and church starts in an hour. I did realize that we were supposed to lead praise and worship but I had to beg off in the last minute, because I can barely open my eyes and I still had a slight fever. The next thing, I get another call, which I believe was another hour or two later asking if I finished making a form. Then it hit me, Uh-oh … I totally forgot to forward it to the members of the nominating committee. That was probably my biggest blunder day at church. Now that I’m sane and well, I just realized that I even volunteered to do a special number. Heh.
The day progressed and I got better. Not because the Eagles won against the Giants, I should feel all the more sick since McNabb only had a 26 passer rating (what is up with that?!?), but because a lot of people showed their concern, especially marchesa. I’ll take this time to thank Kuya Bio and Tita Ruth for allowing marchesa to come over and bring lots of food (including junk food). Of course a heartfelt thanks should be given to my angel ? thank you mahal.
And to those who have been praying, thank you very much.
In this day and age, not too many people find the love of their life early on. Even more difficult to find someone who has the same quirks and passion as you have, and much, much, much more difficult to find someone who complements and supplements your personality and even you abilities.
This is why there are too many failed relationships out there. Even the statistics agree, almost 50 percent of marriages end up in divorce, even sadder to think that among “Christians” they have the same rate, and in some studies, even higher. These blaring facts just makes you think twice about getting into a relationship. Of course, once you decide to get into one, there would be sacrifices to make, friends that you would lose, habits you need to let go ? just a whole lot of stuff that needs a lot of work in order to succeed. If you think about it, a relationship without God’s blessing, like the watchman who watches over the city, will be in vain.
Today marks the 304th day when marchesa and myself pledged our commitment to one another. In the past 304 days, not a day passed by where we never expressed our love for each other. We had our rough moments but for some unexplainable reason, we would always end up telling each other of our love. When one doesn’t budge, the other one always gives in, there are times when stubborness kicks in but still we patch up.
My whole being exults in joy to the Father for giving me this opportunity to be with someone who after his own heart. I look forward to the next 27,759 days.
Happy tensixteen baby. I love you Marchesa Jane Fabila. I love you very much.

for him.
when the
c u r r e n t s

take him far
from the shore
that’s when
i started to swim.
there’s a perfect time
for perfect reactions

made my effect
like leaves
to time’s submission.

happy tensixteen pepit.
I love you mahal.
thank you for the gift.
thank you for 10 months of always walking nearer to the traffic just to make sure i’m okey.
by grace…
it’s tensixteen.
some people go on with life living from summer until it hits them that the leaves have changed to fall.
then there are some people who live each day to notice the slow color transition of the leaves.
that is the beauty of love.
two people are graced to experience that careful movement from something so foreign to something so strong. it’s in genuine love that two people are careful not to break each other and the friendship, so that they allow themselves to change within the natures of one another, never rushing into the next season, but being patient to discover who they are, their very colors, their varied colors, always in great cause and effect between each other. And God has fashioned it so that His two children can experience those changes in love, carefully, within their season.
the sweet blessing also come to those people in group B. When those more observant can see love grow rather than one day suddenly see it in full bloom.

*eeee*
the anniversary was fun.
i just got so giddy when everyone started coming in and i saw friends come in…from childhood, from SJBCI, from Delaware, from Maryland, from DC, from North Jersey…wow. you just feel so full knowing your friends, your family, your church, and those you care for are there sharing in something you love…
Homeostatic Family
i am just very blessed to know how the church came together to do what needed to be done for the anniversary, asthetically, musically, spiritually, and physically. I was also very proud in the sense that God had been so faithful towards those who have been faithful in ascribe glory to Him through His ministries in SJBCI. As i looked at the powerpoint, and having been working on it, looking through all the pictures that depicted the various ministries and accomplishments, i was humbled knowing that the leaders of SJBCI are really trying to do everything for God and not for ourselves. I know working with Pastor Ding for the powerpoint, he really wanted to stress that all was for God’s glory…and i admire the leadership for their attitude. I also love how we incorporated our worship service as the program for the anniversary. It felt unstaged.
The Choir
I have to thank Genesis for singing the solo for choir. It was her first solo and she really impressed me. I have high hopes for her musically. I just hope she works harder to refine her voice and technique
. *hint genny*. The choir really pulled through this time. I know i’ve been getting some feedback as well as my own observations on some irky spots here and there, but i believe the Holy Spirit always has our back when push comes to shove. And i know the choir is trying their best every special performance.
Also, i want to thank Darielle, Camille, Bunny, Chelsea, Leon, Jason for singing in the children’s choir. You guys rock
. love ate marchesa
on far away friends
it was also nice just having people come from different places to share in the joy…i was able to see Ian and Michelle, whoa…and paul anci, FIC represent!…i was able to talk to the delaware girls, who are really refreshing to talk to…they’re so friendly. Of course, who could miss Rachelle and Ria…Ria came up to me and started mimicking my actions during my conducting choir…hahaha…i think alot of people were baffled still that i conduct. afterwards, the guys [no hair vs. hair] played touch football. I got a chance to chat with Juvy & Lhei…so that was nice. ya, it was just nice to see everyone…wish there were more times like this.
on FAMILY
after the anniversary, my family plus Perze & Sam, went to Rehobath Beach in Delaware. I were able to catch seeing the huge waves crash, shop a little, and hit the outlets. It was a nice time bonding with the family, plus Kristie was home for the first time [being away for college] so everyone is super sized happy…and it always makes me feel complete knowing that Perze & Sam are there with my family. It makes me know that things are changing and i’m growing older, and that my family is changing too. i sometimes pray that my family will open up their hearts to grow in love for the ones that we love. despite all my complaints sometimes and the unfairness that shakes me, i know deeply that i am so blessed. My family is imperfect, but i know there is always love. Thank you God.
we got home really late, and decided really late to rent a movie. wow. we went to sleep at 3am. we all ended up being late for church service the next day. that was my first time in like…forever.
