A bit of luck for everything

I don’t have everything. I have so many imperfections and insecurities. I lived a life and am still living a life wherein I have to work my way to get something. Life is unfair.  But I am very much blessed with people around me.

I always say that “malakas ako kay Papa God”, “favorite ako ni Papa God”. It is because I never felt alone during my hardships. When I want something, I get it. Not because of my persistence alone but because God gives it to me. He answers my prayers through wonderful people that I met along the way.


I thought it would be hard for me to finish college. Life has been difficult for my family when we lost our mother. But I had this wonderful teacher in High school who was very close to me, Mrs. Mira Villamayor-Reyes (God, bless her soul), she helped me to get a scholarship. When I was in college in PSBA-Manila, I met this wonderful man, Dr. Jose F. Peralta who sees me like her daughter and who I see as my second father. I was so blessed because he helped me until I graduated; he helped me during my CPA review and is still supporting my Master’s degree in PSBA-Manila. Through scholarships and with the help of wonderful people, I was able to finish high school and college without having to spend a dime.


I am also blessed with fantastic friends. It feels good to know that whenever I need someone for help or for anything, I know there are people who would be there. I may not have thousands of facebook friends, but I have number of friends that are trusted who never left me and will never leave me in any circumstances. In happy times and bad times, I have the best of friends that Papa God pre- selected for me.

What else could I ask for? Papa God gave me a wonderful man. God gave me someone who treats me like I’m sort of extinct species, he takes good care of me, spoils me, understands me, loves me. He never asks anything of and from me. I don’t just have a boyfriend to share intimate moments with, I have a friend who listens to me, laughs at my corniest jokes and stupidities, teaches me to drink medicines (I don’t know how to take capsules and tablets), pushes me to eat veggies. God gave me someone who can deal with my PMS, with my mood swings and irrationalities. Someone who would not mind how much I love him, all that matters to him is how much he loves me. He taught and showed me the meaning of unconditional acceptance and love. He loves me the most when I love him the least.

But above all, I have my family. It is not perfect, but we are tight, we have been tested by so many problems and I’m proud to say that together we stood still. I have great parents who brought us in this world, guided by love. They thought us the do’s and don’ts of life and sometimes because of our stubbornness, they just let us learn from our very own experiences. I have siblings who support and believe in me. With them, I have instant “kaaway”and “ka-tsismisan”. We go to mall together, plan special occasions together. Our life had never been a piece of cake, but it feels good to think that though we tasted the bitterness of life, we are now enjoying a bit of sweetness life could offer. And while we are aware that there can be problems along the way, we gladly would face it, who would be scared if God has been on our side from the very beginning?



Indeed, I am lucky.

Sana swertehin din ako sa raffle! J
