The World of Second Chances

The Search Is Over

Life & Love

In 2000, I prayed to God to give me The One who would stay with me for the rest of my life. I asked for a sign and I told Him that whoever that man would be, I promise to love and accept him because it’s God who sent him to me.

I met a handsome prince who later turned into a handsome frog. I loved him so much and I prayed so hard for him. But God did not listen to my prayers. The handsome frog left me with his beautiful frog.

A year and a half later, I chanced upon a handsome commoner. The princess thought that just like the playful princes that she met, he was just another player. But the handsome commoner bravely fought for his love. I, the princess, was stupefied!

The handsome commoner tried his best to prove to me that he’s The One that I’ve long been looking for. He’s God-fearing; a trait that I’ve been searching for in a partner. I want to have a partner who will bring me close to God. Little by little, it became clear to me that he’s The One that I’ve been praying for.

But I was doubtful. I asked God to give me a sign if the handsome commoner is The One. God sent me his response through a dream. It was a prophetic dream. I was doubtful once more. I asked God to give me more signs. The next day, the handsome commoner gave me the sign that I saw in the dream. It was final, the handsome commoner is The One!

The search is over for The One.

Life & Love

Now, it can be told. The reason why PV dumped me was not because
of his obligation to his family but because he fell out of love
with me. I am not sure how he managed to keep the third party
in our relationship a secret; he was a con-artist.

I had some clues before that there could be another woman but
I just ignored the signs. When you love someone, you give your
100% of trust.

I am not angry at the other woman. More often than not, the reason
why a couple breaks is because one of them cease loving and
fighting for the relationship. PV stopped loving me; he found
someone else and replaced me with her.

God is so good, He let me lose PV to gain Miel. He gave me the signs
that Miel is the One. Thank you, PV, for hurting me in the most
unimaginable way. Now, I can appreciate happiness with Miel because
of the pains that I went through with you.
The Bf and the Flirt

July 16, 2008

Life & Love

Bf and I were renting DVD. I went to the sci-fi section while he, to the action section.

One male staff approached me and offered me to try “Jumper.” I told him that I’ve watched that movie. He asked me who the main actor was. I told him it was Hayden Christensen of Star Wars. He asked me if I know of Hayden’s other movies. I told him that he should know more about movies and actors than me because he works in a DVD rental shop. He flirted with me all along while my bf was just a few steps away.

At home, while watching “P2,” Miel narrated what happened earlier. We both had a good laugh at the DVD guy because obviously, he didn’t get that Miel and I are sweethearts!

“Do I look like your elder sister?” I teased him.

“Not at all. He was just a plain flirt; he didn’t notice that I was your bf,” Miel replied.

What will I do if someone will flirt with Miel while I’m with him? Hahaha!
Cuppy Cake

Wedding & Family Life

You’re my Honeybunch, Sugarplum
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin, You’re my Sweetie Pie
You’re my Cuppycake, Gumdrop
Snoogums-Boogums, You’re the Apple of my Eye
And I love you so and I want you to know
That I’ll always be right here
And I love to sing sweet songs to you
Because you are so dear

I passed this ringtone to Miel through bluetooth. He listened to it and blurted out, “Si Brad ito, ah!”

Brad is the name of our future baby. What endears Miel to me is his fondness of kids. Last week, when we went to the mall, we window-shopped for some baby items. The salesboy thought that I was pregnant. I was quick to correct him that I was not. Miel and I are both infanticipating. I am falling for Miel each day. I know he’ll be a good husband and father.
“Will You Stop Doing It, PV?”

Life & Love

Miel and I had a petty fight last night.

He tried to make peace with me but he really pissed me off so I was hard on him.

He tried to hug me but I asked him to stay away from me.

Out of the blue, I blurted out, “Will you stop doing it, PV!”

Of course, PV was the one who broke my heart, my ex.

I was shocked; unable to believe that I said that, that I mentioned the one who destroyed my faith in love.

Miel’s reaction was like of a surprised child. He didn’t make a big deal out of it.

Last bf syndrome? I don’t think so.

That’s Entertainment

Noong panahong hindi ka pa nadidiskubre ng telebisyon sa iyong talento sa pagkanta, isa ka lamang batang napakalikot na nakakainis talaga! Apat na taon ka lang noong matira ako sa PV Boarding Houses na pag-aari ng iyong mga magulang na sila Ate Cynthia at Kuya Dindo. Napakapilyo mong bata at lahat ng gamit ko ay pinakikialaman mo! Marinig ko lang ang yabag ng maliliit mong paa na papunta sa kwarto ko, nagkukunwari akong tulog para lamang di mo ako kulitin. Ikaw at ang Ate Pearl mo ang madalas mangulit sa aming mga boarders ninyo.

Kay bilis nga ng panahon. Ni hindi ko namalayang 17 anyos ka na. Nagulat ako nung mapanuod kita dati sa Pinoy Pop Superstar. Pamilyar ang mga matang malalamya na parang kay Kuya Dindo. Pamilyar ang pangalan at apelyidong sa inyo ko lang narinig. Napakalaki na nang iyong pinagbago. Hindi na ikaw ang batang malikot at makulit na minsang naging bahagi ng buhay kolehiyo ko. Isa ka nang celebrity in your own right. Bukod pa sa pisikal na pagbabago, malamang na kaydaming kababaihan ang nahuhumaling sa iyo.

Kay bilis nga ng panahon. Hindi nga natin masasabi ang bukas. Parang kaylan lang, isa kang batang walang pakiaalam at alam sa mundo. Kay laki na ng nabago sa buhay mo. Good luck at sana, hindi ka man naging mapalad sa Pinoy Idol, maging daan naman ito sa mas mabuting karera sa pagkanta.
I Will Gamble Again

Life & Love

Is this relationship with Miel for real? I don’t want to sound so religious but I feel that he’s the ONE God intends me to be with for the rest of my life. Everything seems so good when I’m with him. I hope it’s not another infatuation. I hope this one will last for a lifetime.

I couldn’t help but compare this relationship with my previous one. Miel loves to pamper me like a princess. This is one thing that PV never did to me. With PV, I didn’t experience being taken cared of. It was always me taking care of myself and the relationship.

There came a time when I was so afraid to love again for fear of getting hurt once more. My previous relationship left me so broken; it was pretty hard for me to trust someone again.

I don’t know why I fell in love with Miel. I don’t know why suddenly, I am not afraid to gamble again.
