My Dear Friend Meline

I was wondering this week why I'm not receiving any text from Meline and because I know that she's sick I'm not expecting a daily message from her as she always does. Meline will not pass a day without a text message for me; it's her daily routine - to text inspiring messages to her closest friends. Actually I've been thinking again of her text 3 weeks ago - "Thank you for the friendship that we shared, my life was happy because you've been a part of it, sorry for any shortcoming that I've done as a friend. I will treasure our friendship our friendship even to the next life". It suddenly occurred to me that day that her text message seem like a farewell text, it actually chilled me. Why? Because Meline was diagnosed two years ago that she had a breast cancer, she has undergone series of chemotherapy and it seemed like the treatment had done her good but after a year she's started to lose hair and weight. We didn't know that her doctor honestly told her last October 2007 that her cancer is incurable and has only 6 months to live. She kept it to herself and she maintained a happy outlook in life, her text was always so sweet, endearing and inspiring and sometimes with a light humor. You wouldn't think that she's facing the end of her life then. We were actually planning a lunch or dinner date because it's been a long time since we've seen each other, the only way we're bonded is through mobile phone. I’m a little sad that dinner date was never scheduled.

I learned Meline's condition from DSI, Ma'am Billie knowing that we've been good friends asked one employee there to inform me that Meline passed away already. She learned it from her friend, Meline’s employer in Classic Confections, she didn't stopped working even if she knows that her body is in a bad condition. Meline is really like that, you wouldn't find her sulking and thinking about her problem and sickness, she's a brave girl always. She's taught me a lot in the field where I am now, my course and my job was too far from what my boss assigned me 5 years ago but Meline assisted and trained me in all aspects of Accounting, so after nearly two years of being together in BT&T Accounting Dept. she returned to being fulltime in Classic Confections leaving me with one accounting staff to help me in handling Accounting department. The position was quite far from my education and work experience having taken Computer Engineering in college and handled technical proposal for 10 years. I wasn't prepared and educated for the position but Meline was there for me and now she's gone I can never thank her enough for the friendship, care and time that she's given me. I will miss her name and her daily text in my mobile. I will miss my friend and her caring thoughts but I'm happy that she's not in pain now. May God bless her.

Flowers For You!

A wonderful way to express your love to someone special is through flowers as they always quote ‘say it with flowers’. There are many connotations of flower and most often according to kind and colors. When my husband courted me he used to give me red long-stemmed roses which signify love and respect. We were friends then and I was actually waiting what kind and color of flower will he give me because if he gave me yellow roses back then maybe I would think that he only see me as a good friend because it signifies friendship. Finally when the time came for my answer to his proposal he picked a single white rose, it’s very significant back then as I see white rose as symbol of love worthiness and I felt very happy to know that I’m worthy of his love.

Strong Foundation of Friendship and Love

Love begins with a simple hello and commonly ends with a sad goodbye. But what really does it take for love to bloom and relationship to last longer? In these time and age relationship often last only for a short period of time because there’s not enough solid foundation of love and the persons involved are halfway committed. In building a good love relationship couples should take time and extra effort to know each other well because knowing each other’s good and bad points are a big help on understanding your partner’s moods, traits and values. It’s accepting your best and worst attitude that will also make you see if you really love the person despite imperfections. Mr. and Ms. Perfect don’t exist, but the person who is right for you might be just there beside you.

Couples should also be good friends first before jumping into a serious relationship because by being friends they can build a stronger foundation. Most friendly relationship started having romantic ideas after years of being together as best friends. Constant companionship brought them to a different level of caring that produce awareness in both sides that they cannot be just friends. That’s the time that they start sending signals that they want each others company more than anyone in their circle of friends, the time that they setup dinner that would make them closer to each other. My hubby and I started that way; we’re only close friends for two years until we realized that we want a deeper commitment than being just best friends. He talked to me seriously about it and we set a time frame to gauge if what we felt for each other is a different kind of thing, a special kind of love. That’s the time that you decide to enter a serious and deeper commitment, a vow that would lead into a permanent commitment for life. The term I like you suddenly changed to I love you. A good foundation of friendship, trust, respect and love will lead to a lifetime commitment of love, a love where God should be the center of the relationship.

My Son's First Little Speech

Josh was given the task of speaking before the nursery graduating class 2007-2008, his speech is an introduction of the awarding ceremony for the outstanding graduates. Before the graduation day he resisted practicing the lines over and over and said that he doesn't want to repeat the speech again and again. On the final practice day when it's his turn to speak he got shy on the second stanza and forgot the final remaining line. It worried me because I will not be able to monitor his practice because I have office works and his lola always follow him if want to practice or not. You know the lolas, they're always spoiling the little kids and giving them what they want - most of the time. His daddy took over, he practiced him on the day before graduation with a microphone and finally Josh did the practice on his own getting the feel of speaking with microphone, little kids are really like that, they want it their own way. On his graduation day, I'm a little nervous for Josh but I'm also confident that my son can do it because he knows the lines, it's just a thing about moods of the kids. With God's help he delivered it accurate and clear.
