Hippie Holiday!

Green Day

December 14 at Metrowalk, Ortigas. 3rd year of the yearly college friendly gathering.

A PRAYER FOR RAM

Whenever I see the sign saying “Pray hard, it works!” a feeling of assurance always comes into me. Indeed, a prayer that comes from the soul is powerful. We all turn to prayers whenever we are faced by dilemmas of life. We pray when we’re happy. We pray when were lost and afraid. Many times I have mentioned in this blog that prayer is my best ally. It feels good articulating what I have in mind. Knowing that it’s God listening to my every word helps me create a perspective on some tangled things that I am dealing with.

I believe that a prayer, short or done in long hours, can move a mileage of moments in one’s life.

One dear friend needs my prayer right now. Sarah, a college friend, has a brother named Ram who is currently suffering from disease that is very tough to deal with. The clear medical term of the disease is not defined to me, but Sarah told me in one of our YM conversations that it breaks her heart seeing how Ram goes through very painful episodes in the hospital. I could feel Sarah’s pain and I could sense her fear. I am very emotional when it comes to family and friends. Its sad knowing that someone dear to me is dealing with a storm of life. I have known Ram because of some school projects we did in Sarah’s house. The boy is very gentle and I could tell that he is growing on the right path. I couldn’t imagine him suffering from severe pain - Just like I couldn’t take any of my nephews going through the same situation.

I have been praying for Ram since I learned about his situation. I have been lighting candles for him. But I know that if more voices will appeal to God and ask Him to heal Ram, the boy’s early recovery is highly possible.

I appeal to your good heart to please post a short prayer on the comment segment of this post. You may be a stranger to Ram, but your concern will help create our grand appeal to God. I am positive that Ram will soon be okay. I am positive that God will stay with Sarah and her family all throughout this trying moment.

EASTWOOD CITY STORY

After long duration to prepare, send in info, and execute the rule of democracy, the Christmas gathering of me with all my college blockmates finally went through! It was the 13^th of this Christmas month when we all gathered up at Eastwood City, Libis. I actually presented three choices for our venue- Pasto, Dencio’s and Sumthin’ Fishy. I think we all had a great time last year at Sumthin’ Fishy which made it as the choice of this year’s venue again! Well, serves us right because the place is casual, laid back and ehem, budget friendly!

So just like last year, its me and April who came in first. The flying organisms had a feast on our legs then our friends start coming in. April took the chance to give out Free samples of Pond’s products which we tagged as “pangkabuhayan” showcase for early birds. So the latest one came in, the fewer Pond’s product that person recieved.

The Ladies

Our group was primarily composed of ladies who are all photo hungry. I think they all go crazy when they see lights flashing in.

The Ladies who like me

Ayayay, I had a real hard time equating my time to give each and every girl a chance to have a photo with me. Ha Ha Ha What? You smell “bastardom”?

The Gossip Girls

What’s areunion without gossips about people who failed to attend? Opps, that’s too impolite I know, but the person who made it as the Most talked about B*tch that night deserve the gossips she received. I even thought of dropping names here, but no I'm not that bad. Besides, that will even make that person sound too special in my blog. We wouldn't want that right?

The Group Photos

Since this happens once a year only, we took our glorious amount of time to take all sorts of group pictures. This we do to have a comparison on how each and everyone looked like a year after. You know, who improved on fashion sense, hair and of course who gained and lost weight.

The memorabilia

I tried taking stolen shots but i guess my friends really have that alarm every time cameras are pointed at them. So my attempts were thrown futile. To keep memory of that night, i secured our bill ( like what I did last year.) How much did we spend? Hmmm, less that three thousand bucks. We were like 15 that night, so bite that economical night out!

Fun and crazy are too weak of adjectives to describe that night, I hope next year I’ll learn the best adjective for our very own brand of having fun.

Next, highschool friends’ gathering! Happy Holidays everyone!
