May 29, 2012: Earlier this afternoon, I commuted on the way to school to finish something in requirement for this Thursday’s enrollment for 3rd year; 1st semester. It was raining really hard and there was a bad traffic. I saw hard rain pouring down, people getting wet and disappointed because of the traffic. There were people running under the rain without their umbrellas. And some were laughing the bad weather off. 

Almost a half kilometer from where I rode, the jeepney stopped to let 5 passengers ride, 2 of them were Mormon missionaries. All in a get up of a white polo shirt and neck tie; black slack pants, black shoes, and of course with their name tags on the left side of their chest: “Elder __________”. 

Now I know you all might be wondering why I shared this. Well, simple. As someone who admires David Archuleta so much and as someone who misses him already, I couldn’t help but be reminded of him after seeing those 2 Mormon missionaries. It felt like as if David Archuleta’s riding with us in the jeepney. I couldn’t help but slightly smile alone and thought that I was just wishful thinking.

It was the one thing that made my day in spite the hassle weather. From that, it just made me smile the rest of the day. :’)

We miss you, David.

And we shall wait for you.

May 26, 2012: He surprised me earlier by posting this on my Facebook wall. :’) I was in tears of joy while reading starting from the middle to the end of it. At some parts, I couldn’t take it, I really cried. I was out of words…Thank you, L. :’)

1. If ever you find yourself in comparison to others and come short, whenever you are unsure of anything that you are doing, thinking you will fail at it, I assure you, You are an amazing woman, you are capable of great things :)

2. When you aren’t sure whether the lingering sensation that you aren’t liked enough is a result of how you look or how you treat other people, Breathe easy and always remember, someone is here to accept you:)

3. If you experience a sudden flood of shame at the realization that you haven’t done much to deserve really any of the things to which you aspire. That is a lie, you deserve the best

4. If you suddenly realize you actually felt like you deserved something, but you let another person have it, Remember that there are always other opportunities and that I’m here to catch you

5. If you think life is unfair at judging who is “deserving” and who isn’t, when life is putting you down and you feel like you’re not sure what deserving means because something wasn’t really fair, you are entitled to one hug from me :)

6. When a person or situation isn’t what you thought it was going to be, and you can’t figure out whether this is your fault for not being able to predict the outcome of certain things that may actually happen. Give me a call(This may not always work) but just know that I’m always with you, in your heart and mind

7. If you notice that you unconsciously but consistently put yourself into situations that deprive you of your natural talent and move you further away from your goals, talk to me and realize that someone is there to comfort you :)

8. If you cannot work out whether your present situation, challenge, relationship et al is yet another state of unconscious self-sabotage despite the fact you feel deprived, You know the 3 words, imagine them in my voice :)

9. If you can’t tell whether you’re actually in a negative situation or just an ungrateful person who blames everyone else for your problems, talk to me 

10. If you can’t believe in yourself or lack confidence, believe in the ME that believes in YOU :)

11. If you find that after long hours of contemplative malaise you suddenly feel as if nothing in particular is actually wrong and you feel the desire to relax or celebrate, rest easy; I am at your service :)

12. If you suddenly find yourself highly focused on gratitude and create for yourself a long list of all the things that you are doing successfully or correctly or that you are fortunate to have and want to feel unburdened or euphoric, refer to 11

13. If you can’t decide whether you are actually ‘celebrating’ or simply engaging in artificial gestures of relief, I’m here to comfort you :)

14. If you can’t tell whether you are an overly-strict person with inappropriate guilt about normal human self-moderation behavior or an avoidant adult child making excuses for your poor coping, this applies to number 13 as well

15. If you feel persistently like you are failing to grow up, lets be childish together :P

16. If you can’t tell whether a certain youthfulness in others represents an admirable refusal to adhere to repressive social norms or an actual inability to deal with difficult adult challenges, lets grow old together, or at least let’s try :)

17. If you aren’t sure whether you are repeatedly failing to reach a personal set of behavioral goals or simply consistently feeling inadequate no matter how hard you work, Lets talk about it, I wanna hear what you have to say

18. If you aren’t sure whether you need to ‘lighten up’ or employ more self-discipline, lets talk about it

19. If sh!t happens, I’m here

20. If things change and you’re not sure if I feel the same, I do :)

L, you’re an angel and a blessing…a superhero. 

God didn’t let me get in ‘that house’ (you know what I mean right?) because he knows that if natuloy ako dun, you wouldn’t have seen me by the beach, scribbling David Archuleta’s name (Hahaha) and I wouldn’t have met you. We both felt like we’re not ready yet for flings that time and those lovey-doveys. Our intention was not to meet each other but just simply and purely for/to have vacation and fun. Unexpectedly, we met. Kaya I agree with you that it’s fate. :) I’m hoping that we are really destined to be together and that this is destined to last.

P.S.

I will print this and put it on my cork board. It’s something that will for surely brighten up my days. ;) You are starting to reveal to the public’s eyes, mystery man and I love how you won’t care if that happens and that shows you’re proud to have me. One step closer, di ka na mystery. :D
