Best Kind of Friendship

Just weeks before my best friend, Ja, is to walk down the aisle, I thought I'd invite her for a quick lunch for our BFF brownie points. It was supposed to be a casual cook-in, because.. and this next statement will surprise you as much as me: I miss cooking! Or at least whipping up something edible, lol!

Maybe more about that rekindled frustration on cooking on my next posts, but for today, allow me to just say a piece about the best kind of friendship :)

The best kind of friendships are:

the ones that grow with you -- who had been with you through the bawling-your-eyes-out times to celebrating jump-for-joy moments
those that saw you with your pigtails on and teenage-braces years
those that give you encouraging letters-- from hand drawn ones, to birthday cards, to text messages and emails
those that don't require you to talk to each other every day to make you feel that you're close
...but when you do get to talk to each other, it feels like nothing has changed, and you can still feel like your old self
those that live on despite the widening distance and different time zones
those who pushes you to be better
those that draw you closer to God by speaking the truth, even though the truth hurts sometimes
those where silences are not awkward, but comfortable
those that make you feel braver with life because you just know that they're there to stay no matter what

If you have the kind of friendship that I am describing above then you're super blessed! I know I am! So to my best friend of 20 years (yep it has been that loooong!) you're going to be a great wife and mom because you have such excellent faith and love for the Lord. And thanks for rubbing off on me in a good way. ;)

I love you to bits!

Throwback Thursday: Be the Man You Want to Marry

Throwback Thursday! Words edition :) I wrote this post almost two years ago, I've had 3 blogs for the past four years so my ramblings and thoughts have been tucked away in three different places in the digital space. Reminds me of Voldemort and how he hid his soul to 7 different objects. Nerd alert! Hehe! So here it is, my realizations as far as marrying is concerned, when I was 23 years old:

He says, She says (Part 3)

Ligawan Stage So this is the part where Dennis already laid down his intentions, and I said yes to courtship. I’ll share here the things we learned and what God taught us during this season. Hope this encourages you! Dennis told me to share his insecurities in this blog because he thought that it would encourage the men out there. Some of his insecurities were:

Passionately Curious

Here is the post I wrote years ago! I echoed here what I learned from the 2 speakers, Tricia Gosingtian and Ana Santos. Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

Celebrate joy!
