M I R A C L E

I remember when I first saw the twins, I was sitting at the back part particularly in the last row of CCF Main auditorium as they were sharing their testimony of how God has been so good to their lives, making a big influence to the young generation. I thought it was too idealistic at first, how they were able to grow and live without being influenced by their friends who go to parties and other usual stuff which most young people do nowadays, but when I got the chance to know them even for just a short period of time, I know there is something more beyond their faces. I could really see the passion in serving the young people.

           There are no words how grateful I am to the Lord who made all these things possible. I thank Him for bringing the Perkins family to Taguba family unexpectedly, how we were able to share the struggles and victories of our lives to each other as the Lord God guided us through all we had been through. We were able to enlighten each other through our life experiences most especially in our downfalls, making us hope more in the Lord as He reveals Himself in every circumstance we undergo. I truly admire your family not only because you have brought so much positivity in our hearts that is contagious, but also you carried so much inspiring stories that you could share to touch our lives. I saw and felt the humility in you, making us so comfortable spending time with each other. I saw how you guys were very patient in making people feel they’re loved because despite the heat and exhaustion, you continue to pursue your advocacy to help people make a change in their lives and become a better person, letting them know how God truly loves us even though we don’t deserve it.

           Tita Tess, I saw my mom in you. Because just like her, she literally fights for her children. You’re a mom who’s willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of a child’s own good and happiness. Aside from the fact that you’re humorous, I admire you for being strong in the Lord regardless of what happens. You always see the good in people. And I love you for that. 

           To Tito Tarny, thank you for your funny and amazing stories. Haha! I’ve never encountered such an American whose jokes were witty as you. Hahaha! I could also see my dad in you, how you were so patient in the Lord. You’re the kind of man who never gives on the Lord because just like Him, He never gives up on us. J Even though we seldom talk about things (because I’m quite shy making the first move to initiate the conversation haha) I admire you for being so appreciative on our culture.  Thank you for your kind heart.

           To the twins, I know we don’t really talk that much but I admire both of you for being so versatile regardless of what place you’re in and of different kinds of people you get to meet every single day of your lives. I support you on whatever it is that may help the young people bring out the best in them. Keep walking in the Lord as you guys use your talents to perform in thousands of people. Always remember to keep your feet on the ground.

     It’s been a long time since I last saw my dad enjoyed that much, as he was watching the twins perform in respective schools and as he listened to life stories of yours through simple fellowship. I could say that the all tiring days and sleepless nights were all worth it because as a family in Christ, we were able to contribute something to the lives of people here in Isabela and Cagayan. I’m looking forward to what God has for us as we expand His goodness through our respective works. I remember a year ago before all these things happened, I prayed that maybe some time we could all go together and hang out with each other’s families, and true enough, a year later it happened. Haha! Nothing really is impossible to those who believe in Him.

    I also just want to share that I am very much blessed for growing up with parents who hold on to the Lord even when it feels like we can’t do it anymore. God’s love has been so powerful because through all the struggles, He never fails His promises and plans. God only wants us to patiently wait for Him because He definitely knows the best for us. Jesus will never give up on us even when there are times we already gave up on Him. He is a sovereign God because His thoughts are higher than man’s thoughts, and His ways are better than ours. Hope to see you again soon.

#PerkinspiredTour

It was a scorching hot morning when students went wild as this two guys visit our school. Their first visit in Bulacan particularly. The guy who wears black named Christian Perkins and the red one is Jesse Perkins. These two boys are actually fraternal twins (it’s obvious though) Anyways, I was on my training for a competition and let’s begin my good story in here.

Since I was hearing a large noise in auditorium, well believe me it’s too loud. But then, I’d stop in principal’s office because I have to talk to a teacher and was a little been taken a back because the guy-- I mean he’s gay, went wild. These two guys came out on that principal’s door so, yeah. Am asking myself who are they and why are they here. They went to stage and talks. Introducing their names and saying this is part of #PerkinsTour they first sing Drag Me Down and I *screams* One Direction!! 

Oooops not to mention I went through the halls and my feet guided me near the stage. All girls are pushing each others and I on the other hand, looking for my classmates which is luckily near the stage! 

I kind of laugh the moment these two boys do some dance moves as they sing the song and smile so wild. Though kind of hate some girls because I almost kiss the floor. (thanks whoever you are guys) I mean why do they have to push each other right? bruh. Back to reality, after they sing of course the students went wild. 

I started to listen. Real advocacy why they are here is to motivate students who’s been reckless I mean unwise to what future they may face. Anti Bullying mainly, Anti smoking, Anti use of illegal drugs, and any other Anti Vices. While everyone’s still shouting there I was listening, I thought it’s a great way too. They asked some questions and asked “Who are single here?” omg. I whispered to myself. Everyone raises their hand. But me? well I don’t I remembered Luke Hemmings and he’s actually my husband. 

Anyways after that they sing a song I feel like it’s “Ikaw Na” an original. and promotes the album. STUDENTS PARTICULARLY GIRLS WENT UP TO STAGE. Hugging Jesse and Christian. Gash I almost faint when they sang Heart Like Gold (sorry, I forgot the title of the song) and freaking Christian points at me and was like pointing at myself too. 

When they finish their talks and some picture taking with the teachers, Ma’am Kath announced per section has the chance to have a picture with them. Of course students went wild....ALWAYS. I just consider them, I mean I feel like it’s the first time they ever seen a good looking men and they’re not fangirls like me but no just no.

Our section was first called, my classmate Ella almost tripped as she runs the stairs, seriously. While me? Okay fine just go with it. 

We had a picture. My classmates hug them and takes some pictures, solo. Question pops in my head if ever they do have a spotify account so I asked Christian. 

*shakes hand*

Me: “Hi perhaps do you have any spotify account so I can listen to your songs?”

Christian answered but ELLA JUST SCREAM. Oh gosh, I wasn’t able to hear him. thank you.

but Christian, came closer to me, 

Christian: jejaajbazkaai akak

yes. that’s what I heard like what I said Ella freaking screams, louder.

so It’s done. I went to my co-Writers Eshban and Dada. I’m pleading to them. Because they’ll interview Perkins Twins, dude it’s the chance.

When were beside the stage, I approach their mom named Tess.

“Hi *shakes hand* it was nice meeting you po. Kami po ang mga journalist dito sa school.” she smiled and me and replied. “Hi. You can interview them later after the session.” I smiled.

I told Eshban that she answered me English and I talked to her in Tagalog. Well sorry too much occupied.When Sir Maverick asked us to went inside the principals office we acknowledge it right away. They actually say hi! Geez. But they’ll eat first. So we went out.

Afterwhile, someone called us. I’m nervous, though I know how to speak english still we never know what will happened.

Jesse changed his shirt first and he guided us. The three of us shake their hands and again, introducing their names.

(I don’t know if this is what Eshban and Dada said)

Dada: Can we interview--

Jesse & Christian: Yes sure! 

Dada: Were actually the chosen one in journalist to have an interview with you Sir. 

We finally take a seat. I first talk.

Me: So before anything else we would like to introduce ourselves, my name is Maeve Ortega.

Dada: Erlinda Roque

Eshban: and Eshban Blasco.

We started the interview by the first part, Dada ask them about personal infos. Like what I said they are fraternal twins and both are 22 years old.

They talked and smiled but more like Jesse is the one who speaks more.

Me: What can you say about the Anti Bullying campaign? You guys first sing Drag Me Down.

Jesse answered whole heartedly. Believe me the moment he look in my eyes, his luminous dark eyes, thick brows I swear I died a bit seconds lol. 

He invokes to love one another, never hate since it’s no good. Bullying is not a whole thing to do instead we should lift each other up. They were motivated and inspired to tell youths that they shouldn’t do wrong things. There will always be consequences if you do the wrong things as what they said.

They shared some moments of them during school life in California that never and will ever did take some drugs, alcohol nor cigarettes and never experience being bullied. 

Telling students to basically do the right thing study and focus, do not feel the wrong thing. Also they are working out with DepEd.

So it’s the moment to asked them personal question!!!

(it’s my part)

Me: Can we asked you some personal questions?

once again, they said yes

Me: Since your mother is a filipina is there any chance or possibilty that you’d choose a Filipina to marry or be with too?

SDFGHJKL They smiled so bright and answered yes saying Filipina’s are so beautiful and some stuff.

I whispered to eshban that I’m so kinikilig!!

moving on. what’s theyre fave local idol and it’s Gary Valenciano and other some stuffs. It was so fun!

*looking at them*

Me: I actually asked this to you *looking at Christian*---

Jesse: why don’t you asked me?

Me: *laughs* because you’re too busy. So I asked you if you do have a spotify account and I wasn’t able to heard you so is there any?--”

Jesse: Yes we actually have it’s PerkinsTwins but the songs there are only tagalog.

He talks about how kind of regretful? since their originals are not on it but then I said it’s fine.

some talks and talks and talks the room filled so lively not minding were having a conversation with them.

Me: Uh another thing can I ask something about my fangirling stuff?

*they nodds*

Me: I’m a fangirl actually and by chance do you know 5 seconds of summer because I so much love them!

Christian: Yes we do, their songs are good.

Me: What’s your favorite song of them?

Jesse just smiled so wide!

Christian: you mean any songs?

good Lord Jesse is smiling at me.

Jesse: We like more on Timberlake songs. 

I ‘ooooh’ that time and smiled wide. I’m weird. So too many questions was asked and can’t forget that moment. I love them both and I’m listening to their songs right now. It’s all good since it’s an originals.

We took our photo with them and I’m embarrassed since my faced is 101% messed. 

We ended up this, all smiles and it was so fun talking to them, their advocacy on inspiring youths and students.
