Count on the Memories not on the Days.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens. But often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream; Go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Meeting Lauren

I don’t know, if when is the first time i knew about her, but I can remember that it was my mother who was the one who told me about the name “Ava”. The famous girl who always visits Sister Jo’s supervised chapel. Hmm.

At first, I was not that interested to know or meet her for I don’t know her. Hahaha. But sister Jo keeps on telling me things about her. She had told me a lot of Ava. That’s why even though we haven’t met yet. It seems to me like I know her a lot already.

What triggered me to have the interest to know her more is that, when sister Jo told me that she is a family centered person which means she does set her family as her top priority above all always. That’s why I joined my mother last December 2010 at the chapel for the chapel’s Christmas party for the kids out there.

When we arrived there at the chapel, the people there welcomed as so much. I was a shy for the topic was always about me when we arrived there. And sister Jo was keep on telling stories about me and boast so many things about me. And it seems like all of the tita’s there knows me a lot already.

While I was playing around with the kids there, I was looking for the famous “Ava” even the kids were so excited for her to arrive but it seems she’ll be late because of her work. So, she arrived just after the party ended.

Finally, I’ve seen the famous “Ava” in person. I am not sure if she was wearing violet colored tops. But what I noticed is that she has a cake in her hand. I was not talking to her at all when she arrived. I was shy. I think this is my illness already. Whenever there is a gorgeous lady around, I becomes speechless. And try to ignore her presence.

So, time pass by, and little by little the tita’s went home. Until I, sister Jo, my mother and Ava was all left in the chapel. (by the way, sister jo lives in the chapel) I and Ava lighted our candles for some predictions from sister. My candle melted down so slow. It took more than two hours I think. But, still we waited for it. After that, we were asked to open the bible without looking at it, while praying for the right word for us. Then, sister explained everything to us. Later, we went home already for it was too late.

While walking, I tried to talk to her as calm as I could. I think we talked a lot of things that night while walking. But, I can’t remember the details anymore. What I can remember is about the clouds in the sky that night. The reasons why there were few stars that night(almost nothing at all).

Luckily, there was a van heading to our place. So, we ride in. And i didn’t talk to her again. We separated ways that night with goodbyes and take cares.
