Ten Days and a “Soon-to-Be Bride’s” Reflection

Ten days more to go and my last name will be changed… But more than that, it has been a colorful 31 years of being single! Quite a few women might survive what I have been through and perhaps along the way, giving up would be the best option. I took the road less travelled. I have been lost quite a few times but I found my way again. I know that up there, SOMEONE is looking after me and will guide me back to the right road.

I made some choices ~ risky, bold and extraordinary. I wouldn’t say it was easy coz it cost me my "skin" but then again, there was no room to cry over spilt milk. I have to move on.

"It is when you stop looking and when you lift up everything that you can find what is best for you." Indeed this is true. When I stopped looking and hoping that someday, THE ONE FOR ME will come that I found Morie. It happened by a series of events, chains of friends that connected us. From being a good friend, ever supportive and true, I never expected that this one person whom i met from a friend’s friend of a common friend (gets nyo? ) will become my future husband.

"When God puts his hand in your life, you will be surprised that things will just fall into place at the right time, at the right place and in the right situation".

I met Morie when I was still working in Cebu. We became good friends…, maybe we had one thing in common to start with: "healing a broken heart and doing our best to move on". hahahahaha… Kinda "yucky" but that common situation made us know each other’s difficulties, "trauma". hopes, dreams and well, present situation.. the rest was history..

… until one day, I was in working in Makati already and he was was working in Cebu, we realized that we just do not love each other.. we need each other. His character compliments with mine. His strengths supports my weaknesses. My strong will aids his reluctant nature. Our love for dancing.. oh well, that is one thing we both love and one thing in common…

AND I SAY: … it is in our weaknesses that we found each one’s strength. it is in our shortcomings that we found each other’s willingness to understand.. it is in our challenges that we saw each other’s full support. it is with our previous hurting experiences that we learned to be mature and become ready for this lifetime commitment.. It is when you lift your life to HIM that HE will give you everything.

.. and if anyone of you has asked for a sign, it will come.. if and when you ask with your heart and when you are no longer waiting.. At the right place, at the the right time, with the right person and in the right situation.

It did happen to me… " we were both wearing red red,  on a rainy day, sto. nino church, right pew, right side" ALL at ONE TIME, don’t you think that is too good to be a coincidence? That is what you call HIS WILL. bitin ka ba sa kwento? haba eh.. but i would be happy to share it in my next posts.. not now when i am too busy.
