It’s my 20th year here on earth!!! It has been a 2 decades of roller coaster … and counting!! There were so many experiences that made me who I am today, and I thank God for these things. God had made me to become a stronger and better person each day I seek Him. I may have shortcomings and lapses; He continues to provide despite all these. I’m not going to be emotional with this letter, but I just want to put this into writing so that I can always look back on this day and someday tell this tale to our kids (Jet and I’s).
I started my day as early as 5 in the morning. Not that I get ecstatic about my birthday, but I just want to begin my day according to my schedule. Since I already planned how my day will go, I felt relieved. I started jogging in our pavement while listening to worship songs. I did this because I want an alone time with God. To pray, to be grateful, to cast all my worries, to be refreshed about my purpose, and to ask for guidance for the upcoming years ahead. As I was walking and jogging, I felt grateful for everything that I have right now. I realized how God is truly great and how He continues to provide for me and my family every day. After 30 minutes, I went to ate Nikki to wake her up because she asked me to. When I got there, I saw that she’s already fixing herself. We laughed at each other for that matter. Our kwentos didn’t stop as soon as we jogged together. I was jubilant because who would’ve thought that we can still reconcile after the incident that happened on 2016.
After running, I went inside to prepare my materials and listen to God’s word. I was listening to a preaching from Pastor Todd about joy. I learned a lot of things from this and realized how I already encountered joy even at a young age. I was joyous to know that God never left me in times when I was troubled. And even if I’m encountering problems, be it big or small, I wasn’t afraid because I know that God is always with me.
Little by little, Jet’s gifts were arriving HHAHHAHAHH it was too much!! The flowers were wonderful. I was awestruck, it was my first time to receive tulips – blooming tulips. I do know that it is very expensive although Jet doesn’t seem to care about the numbers. Also, I took picture of the inside of the pink box. For sure he paid a good price for all of those. It was super cute because everything has a significance in it. For his last gift, it was a pretty pink carrot cake. I was surprised because the cake came when I was taking my 2nd bath for the day. While I was changing my clothes, I heard mama’s frantic voice talking to Dariane. She was saying that she didn’t mean to ruin the cake by touching the frosting. I was so afraid that it happened, that’s why I was practically shouting ‘what happened’ while putting on my shirt as fast as I could. To my surprise, nothing really happened to the cake. They were just teasing me. As soon as I saw the cake, my mouth agape. WOAH. The is one hell of a cake. Even if I’m in a rural area, the cake was beyond my expectation. It was covered in thick cream cheese with pink fondant flowers, a party balloon, and a cute little plane on the center. DAMN jet, you did it again. I was really experiencing a pure bliss with all that I have received. But my mood changed as soon as I saw Max’s friend making fun of jet and me in the post by Mr. Delivery. That guy seemed to be mocking us. But you know, I was so amazed with how Jet dealt with it. He ignored it. And if it’s nothing for Jet, then I should not waste my time on that freaking comment myself.
After preparing my tacos, I went to ate Nikki for my makeup. It wasn’t actually a must and I was already lazy to take pictures. But I remembered that Jet wanted for me to take real good pictures for memories. That even though he wasn’t with me, that’s his only wish. HAHAHHHAHA. So, it took time for us to put makeup and all, and I was glad about the outcome. Ate nikki improved so much HAHHAHAH. She took pictures of me so that she can post it since she’s proud of her creation as well. I saw a DP worthy photo, so I asked her to airdrop some. For the photoshoot, I was glad how Dariane helped me even if I know that she doesn’t like to do it often. But I saw in her eyes that she was truly enjoying it. We went the other day to places where we could shoot. BUT WTH the post worthy photo is found in front of the untrimmed bush of mommy Emma HAHHAHHA.
Before dinner, we went to pastor’s house to give salad and spaghetti. Max was the one who got it, he also said happy birthday. Then we were all ecstatic to go home to eat because everything on the table were our favorite. There was pizza, tacos, chicken (garlic parm and gochujang), carrot cake, chocolate cake and spaghetti. We ate and laughed our way to kabusugan. Thanks, Diam for cooking!!!
Jet, thank you for everything. This was the best birthday I had in years. Loving you in an instant was a decision I won’t ever regret. Even if you’re a hundred miles away from me, you never fail to make me feel your presence here with me in Isabela. It has been 6 months of loving and praying to be yours forever and always. And we keep praying to continue to give glory to God’s kingdom through our relationship. Jet, you are the realest of the real, you are my one and only, my dearly beloved, my friend, my best friend, my soul sister, my lover, my future husband, and the future father of my kids. Thank you for making me feel the love I never thought I deserved. I asked God for a man who is after His heart, and you came. I love you jet! Cheers to thousand years with you! To God be all the glory and honor!
