nheg: June 2012

The title embodies my collection of memories with a person, whom at first Id never realized will share and compose my later life. ..

We crossed paths the first time, at the "Legendary" private school at Gen. Luis. At INTERNATIONAL "wow international" CHRISTIAN SCHOOL. :))

I've been a primitive there in my early life. Been so familiar with everything. The place, the people, and even with the classroom chairs and blackboards. Hehe.. There were rarely new students in the process during my Primary years. Same faces. Same friends. Same classmates..

1st Year Newton

Until, we took a leap to HIGH SCHOOL (Like we're 12-13 y/o). Most of my previous classmates took the courage to experience a different environment with another school. But I didn't. There had been replacements though. New faces flashed beaming out with their most precious smiles, as they ventured our territory, and pulled efforts to find new friends.

There was this girl i seemed to noticed, when my bestfriend Kristal told me "May cute tayong bagong classmate, yung maliit na babae. Lilet ba yun? Nagagandahan ako sa ilong niya." I took a moment to glimpse at her, and found her... ordinary.... (hehehehehe!) but I couldn't agree more with what my best friend had said. Cute nga nung ilong niya, haha! :D

Years went by.. We seemed to get along pretty well.. We greeted each other every morning, (with a kiss) and bid goodbye (with a kiss) and expected to see each other again the next day.

We appeared to live by in a different group of friends. But we never lost contact. (In such a small classroom population? right.. Hehe..)

We performed widely in different fields. I was so busy with my Academics. She was busy with her Extra curricular. I was part of the CAT command, and she was owned by the VARSITY team. I was a Catholic then, and shes's an Iglesia Ni Cristo. So yeah, pretty much different huh.

And then, we Graduated (2003)
Grade 10-Rembrandt

Not until, (again), I embraced a new episode in my life. That I became an Iglesia ni Cristo too... So maybe since then, we had the slightest in common.

Then there became my Second Place. The Church. Same goes as, my and her second place (of blend), and relationship as Sisters by Faith. We didnt get to mingle much, for I, feeling so new and strange at first, tend to avoid the chance to mingle with mga kapatid who i apparently thought were snob.

But my impressions came to an end, as I welcomed the duty of being a Choir Member.. and that perhaps, gave us the biggest turn around. That had untangled the slightest knot of indifference between us. We became more open with each other, gave each other the consent to dig deeper with our personal lives. That we, can almost touch each other's hearts.

I may not have started knowing her that much before.. I wasn't there when she was young, But I must say. I have been so grateful, SHARING HALF OF HOW OLD SHE IS RIGHT NOW. I know that what had bound us closer together is not by our own doing or by chance. Its God's. And there's never a single room of doubt, that "since then" until the end of our race.. We'll be together.... FOREVERMORE... #bayangbanal.

Happy Silver Birthday to you, my Soul Sister! You know how much I love you!

MEAN GIRLS!
