"The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray."

Proverbs 12:26

When it comes to friends, I am the CHOOSY one. And maybe at this age i can call myself one lucky girl who managed to win some friends. Friends that i can call my sisters at heart. Some have been there for decades, some were still in the getting-to-know-each-other level but we hang around like we've known each other since birth. And just like anybody else, I also got friends who laughs with me and admires me face to face like genuine people, and all of the sudden they'll change or should i say, it's not the person who changed, but it's the mask that falls off. Sometimes, i wanted to believe in the saying that "Life is a masquerade, everywhere you look are people hiding behind masks." As usual, friends come and go but i really feel blessed to be surrounded by a few but amazing friends in my life whom i know will be there for me and will accept me and love me in any circumstances.

I'm a Christian and a believer of GOD by heart, and i do have high regards and respect to the Catholic church because this is where i started building my spiritual foundation since the day i was born, until i was reborn and now serving a Christian fellowship that inspires me to honor God and make disciples. Today, i just can't help but share my personal feelings while watching the coverage of the Pope's visit. When i saw him reaching out to our fellow Filipinos, it gave me some sort of excitement, feelings of joy that is indescribable. I was deeply moved and overwhelmed by his presence while staring at him on national television's live forecast. Honest to goodness, it made me teary-eyed... and then cried.
