Welcome to SFC!

After five years of serving the Lord, meeting new friends, and went to different places in the Philippines thru CFC-Youth For Christ, last November 15, I already finished the Christian Life Program of CFC-Singles for Christ. For me who were already member of the community, it's called crossover.

My SFC journey started last August when I was invited to attend the CLP. It's hard to sacrifice 12 Saturdays especially when you have something to do. What I told to myself to be able to finish it is, "I will finish what I have started." And Praise God I did! Others are telling me that I am still young to crossover, but they don't know I was already thinking and praying for it since the beginning of this year. It is not that I am not already happy with YFC, but to be honest, I already came to a point that I can't relate with it anymore. Sometimes, you have to decide to take one step higher for yourself and relationship with him. I miss having a household, and for the past years, it was not strongly established.   I have to let go and accept this new chapter of my life, relationship and service with Him. I am excited.

Special thanks to Ate Aizy and Ate Kerol for being my facilitators for the whole program. To my new found sisters in Christ, Jona and CJ. And to the whole SFC-St. Jude Community, thank you very much! I am looking forward to serve with you soon. And for that may God be praised!

My New Found Love

For a girl who grew up with a yaya for sixteen years, living independently is really hard. It's like I am in the grade school again learning household chores. It took me fifteen years to know how to fry and nineteen years just to cook rice in the rice cooker correctly. It's my willingness to learn these stuffs, because I am a girl and I must know how to cook. 

I experienced that "kilig" feel again when people like what I cook for them. I already made spaghetti for two special people and I am surprised that they liked it and want me to cook for them again. Last week, its my first time to cook tinolang and adobong manok, and earlier I cooked ginataang kalabasa with sitaw. I was afraid that time because I don't know if they're going to like it, but yes they did. Right now I am exploring this new found love. So many dishes I want to learn and cook for the special people in my life. I am open for your requests, but don't expect first that it will be perfect. 

To The Man I Prayed For

Yes, you read it right. I use the word "prayed" because I am letting you go. I am doing this because I think it's the right thing to do, not because I don't care or attracted to you anymore, but I think its not worth praying for. Last month, I asked for sign from Him, and after how many weeks, He showed the signs that maybe its time for me to move on and focus on my review and career soon. Maybe we are not really meant to be a couple, maybe we are just the best of friends. But it's okay with me. But don't expect that my feelings for you will be gone immediately because it takes time, don't worry, not that long. Give me a month. 

You are special for me. I will not stop praying for you, but my prayers will be change. Whatever your heart's desires, may God grants it to you. Still, thank you.

Sepanx with Ate

                       

I knew I have an older sister when I was young, but I only spent time with her during vacations because  of our fifteen years age gap, she's in college while I'm just starting to go to school. Most of the time we talk over the telephone (cellphone is not that mainstream that time) every night and remind her to finish her studies before getting married (partially regret doing this. Haha). Actually I don't know my sister that deep, not until we lived in the same house since April.

She's already a wife and mother material, seriously! Hahaha. She always prepare my breakfast, lunch, and dinner (except for the month of October) and she always see to it that I wake up every time I have my 7:30 am class. Yes, she's demanding and it irritate me easily, but I can't do for it because maybe it's her way of showing sweetness. Hahaha! She always teased me because of my big thighs and I revenge her through her big belly and double chin. Hahahaha! We always talked about random things and our lovelife. Wa laugh loud like there is no neighbors in the building. We experimented new dishes and we love to travel. Oh sis, I pray this time that you will make it.

I am doing this because of the separation anxiety because I will be coming back to Manila alone. No more mushy and clingy moments every day. Dude, thank you for reminding me about life! I love you my  alarm clock and motivator. Hahaha!
