Life's Graduation

Yesterday, I attended an interment mass. I listen to the priest's homily... The message was nice made me realized a lot of things...

If I'm not mistaken, after Grandma's, this is first time I attended this kind of mass again. I'm not ashamed to say that I shed tears. I even told my companion that I might cry, because I remember my Grandma.

The priest said "mabibigyan nyo nga cya ng magandang libing, magandang libingan etc... pero hndi ntin mapapantanyan or maibibigay ung ibibigay ng Diyos sa kanya, ung buhay n walang hanggan." I realized a lot things after hearing that. When we lost someone very special in our lives,we tend to say "sana hndi nlng", others even blame God for letting it happen. I, my self always saying to someone close to me who is grieving for losing someone, to think in a brighter side, their love ones will be in a safer place where the can never feel pain and won't suffer again. But I never realized that there is more deeper things than that.

Sometimes we become selfish for losing that special person right?Let's admit it. And why? Because they help us?Comfort us?Loved us?Teach us?Cared for us?It's all for us and it is now gone. Is it BECAUSE WE LOVE THEM? For me, we tend to feel this or we become selfish because we are hurt in losing a special person. But did we realized that when they die there are a lot more for them? Those material things we gave them, physical comfort and more are nothing compare to what God can give them. After that message, for me, we should let them go although it hurts. And let's face reality we can never control it, God is in control. If we really love them let's just let them go "home" it hurts but God can give them a everlasting life which we can never give them. No more pain, sufferings, problems, they don't have to experience all the bad things in our world and in God's hand their safe...

The priest also said, death is like graduation. Some says that graduation is not the end but a start of a new beginning. Same as death when they or we lose our life here on earth, we start our new life, a better and peaceful life with our creator.

Calamities at Japan

As we all know there's a calamity or should I say Calamities that happen or still happening at Japan (as of this writing).M 8.9 earthquake and tsunami. SHOCK!!! with the past calamities in other country, I paid attention but I didn't worry like today. Why? One of my best friend is there, in the place where the earthquake strikes.

At around 3:30pm, she send me a message telling a lot of things that makes me nervous and worried. But knowing her, she sometimes panic, I told her to be strong, stay calm and pray. I even make a joke out that just to make her smile or lessen her burden ( wish it did even a little). And honestly, I cried, but I never told her. As of this writing she is on her way to her house, thank God she is safer now. But we will ever stop praying for their safety until it was really clear. Because it was said that there is still after shocks.

Besides her, her younger brother is also in Japan but in different region and it safer place according to our friend which is also in Japan.

FB chat, YM, chikka thanks for the help. I was able to get update from my friends in Japan at the same time I was able to pass the message or update to other concerns. (Castor & Mary's family,Castor's gf & our tropa). Honestly, I have lot of things to do, but due to this calamity and my friend I wasn't able to do it. =(

BTW, what do you think such calamities came? Some says it was in the bible, some says, effect of what the people did to our planet, hmmmm... Lots of opinions, lots of own point of view, but for me I just want to pray for the safety of the people at Japan first...

alone...

I'm not used to be alone. especially when I go out. As of this writing, I am here at Starbucks, SM-Rosario. ALONE!!!

I realized that there is also some fun things being alone, I mean more fun. Though there's a group of not so old ladies talking loud, they are the only table that is "noisy" lolz. Got a danish & Jave chip frap besides me while Purpleski is also here for more fun and enjoying the mall's free wi-fi access.

Seems like this would be one of my hobby now. If and only if I will given time to do this =D

HS Reunion

It's been 10 years since I graduated from High school. A decade since I last saw most of my high school batchmates. I'm a self confessed girl that I am not a popular high school girl. And not all of my high school memories are not that good. =(

This year,we had our 10th year reunion. I think since early this year my batchmates are planning for the reunion. There was a part of me that didn't want to go but another part is saying that I want to go. Reasons? Well, that's a long story.hehehe.

December 30,2010 at 7pm venue will be at Calle Real, Tanza,Cavite will be it. So I came. And I never regret it. It wasn't that "Romy & Michelle Highschool reunion" thing that happened. It was a blast! The foods are great, the drinks are awesome (open bar baybeh.hehehe) and I love the give aways (T-shirt & umbrella). I came early.Hahaha.and left at around 11pm, though I still want to stay, I need to go.

It was fun seeing your batchmate after long years, reminisce the old days and best of all the company of them. Though i'm not that popular high school gal and I didn't have the best memory of my high school days that I wish I had, I can say that I am proud to be included in my batch. SFS Batch 2K...

Hopefully there's a continuation of it...hehehe
