Meet Princess Erika...

Will bridesmaid always be a bridesmaid?

The bridesmaid, wearing a beautiful gown fresh from Merly's Dress Shop, had to be enticed to walk down the aisle. Often the bridesmaid struggled with her gown and found walking backward much easier than walking forward.

Will she ever find her prince?

JR & JLAC (Joana Luz A. Cadenas) Nuptial.
The TGS Reunion. January 18, 2009 @ Lucky D Resort, Sariaya Quezon.
Pehn, Sahn, Joanh, Bhel, Lho with JR.

As we go on, we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

Two special events happened. First, Reunion of hearts of JR&JLAC and TGS (Tondo GirlS but not originally from Tondo, Manila) the Reunion. Well, i would like to talk about Tondo GirlS. They are really amazing friends of mine way back High School. Alam mu ung tipong pag pinagsama-sama eh parang ala ng bukas kung humalakhak at magkulitan. So blessed to have this group. If you are going to ask me how's my high school days, I'll tell you that these girls ang nagpasaya saken at nagbigay buhay ng high school ko. They're my confidants. They're my cheerers. I remember pa nga I when joined Intramurals. Well, I used to be a volleyball player and everytime we had a game, TGS was there to cheer at xmpre ilibre ako ng shake sa canteen after..heheh. Nakakatuwang isipin na after ilang years, eto we were able to get together though hindi talaga kami kompleto. We are 13 actually. Some are busy. Others are just hiding or hindi nagpaparamdam. What I'm praying is that sana FRIENDS FOREVER till death do us part..haha. Super thankful ako to have them. Ang saya ko nung night before the wedding, sobrang kulitan bago matulog..i guess we just missed each other so much. Kulang ung time na magkwentuhan. One thing is for sure..so blessed to have you guyz!

Shepherd of my SouL

Dear Jesus,

Know what my dearest friend?
I don't know how I'm leading my life right now..
I feel I'm not doing fine..
Honestly, I'm confuse..

I feel so alone..
..though i have friends
..though my family is there
..though many people care about me

I feel so sad..
..though i have a good job
..though i have money to buy what i want
..though i have friends to go out with, to have fun with

I guess it's my spirit..
I guess it's about YOU!

When was the last time i prayed hard?
When was the last time i'm being honest with myself?

My best friend,
please help me to grow in age and wisdom as you want me to be
that i may live my life according to your will

Shepherd of my souL,
you gave me full control
whenever YOu may lead
I will follow..

A New Year Prayer

Dear Lord,

We pray that this New Year will bring us closer to You.
May we take the time to get to know You.
Help us to truly appreciate the gifts You have graciously given us
and use them to serve You and spread Your word.

May we also see and love you in all the people we meet,
so that in turn, they can see You in us.

We know that all human relations take time if they are to grow and deepen.
This is also true of our relations with You,
the Father, and the Holy Spirit,
which must grow over the course of our lives.
In this New Year,
let us realize that every action of ours no matter
how great or small enables us to be in touch with you.

Let us accept You in our lives, in the way it pleases You,

as Truth, to be spoken,
as Life, to be lived,
as Light, to be lighted,
as Love, to be followed,
as Joy, to be given,
as Peace, to be spread about,
as Sacrifice, to be offered among our relatives, friends, neighbors and all people.

Amen.
