NBSB No More.

No-boyfriend-since-birth.

Narinig mo na ba yun? Sigurado ako, Oo. Di ba? Mabenta yan sa mga kabataan. Hindi ko alam sa paanong paraan mo titignan ang isang tao kapag nalaman mo na NBSB sya. Kung makamundo ka at hindi mo pa tinatanggap si Kristo bilang Panginoon at tagapagligtas, iisipin mo, 2012 na! Hindi na uso si Maria Clara! Pero kung Kristyano ka, tinanggap mo si Kristo, you have renewed your mind, uhmm, you know what I mean..NBSB means WOYL, Waiting-on-you-Lord. :)

NBSB? I was once.

I was 21-year-old when I actually had my first relationship. But before we end up together, we were first friends, churchmates and schoolmates. When he asked me if he can court me, I did not just gave my answer just because I felt that it was about time to enter such thing. I did pray, I asked God for confirmation and I believed by faith that God wanted me to have this man in my life to learn things, and to grow with him in Him. As we went through our journey as boyfriend/girlfriend, we learned a lot of things, things that I won't be learning if I wasn't in a relationship. I have learned to give love without asking to be loved in return. I have learned to wait on the Lord, always. I have learned to open up with my parents regarding relationship. I have learned to value people without judging them. I have learned to trust God that His plans are perfect and will do ho harm to me and to my future. I have learned to put limitations physically and allow God's grace to sustain me and resist every temptations that we have. I have learned to proclaim God's goodness in our relationship without compromising it. I have learned to be a good example of a follower of Jesus to my siblings for them to look up to when the time is actually right for them to have one. I have learned to respect my parents and earned their trust without breaking it. I have learned to walk my talk. And above all, when I enter my first relationship, I have learned to put God first in the middle of us to guide us and to keep us on track. These are few of the many things that I have learned when I had my first relationship.

I am no longer a NBSB, because I already had one. Though I dreamed of having a boyfriend to be my first and last, I am not giving up of hoping and faithfully waiting on God for His plans in our lives. Having him for a year is one of the best thing happened in my life. Losing him this time won't determine my future, because God is the one who's holding mine. Next to trusting God is believing that His love will always be enough.

Kaya kung NBSB ka, be proud! :) Wait til you blossom to a wonderful person God wants you to be before you enter a relationship. Let God be your first love. Devote yourself on how to give honor and glory to God. Focus on serving Him. There's no greater feeling than being a child of God. Having Him as a Father, a friend, and a lover is the best thing, ever. :))

Suma-summer, Halo-halo :( :) :/

Pare-pareho lang naman ang length ng isang buwan di ba? Mula January-December, syempre except February. E bakit parang antagl ng May? Andami na masyado nangyari, parang bawal kumurap. tsk. Ang hirap lang talaga. :/ And thank you God for sustaining me, dahil kung ako lang talaga, sorry hindi ko kaya. =(



I can't really go on with life if God didn't allow me to meet Him, and to actually have a personal and intimate relationship with Him. Grabe lang. Sa lahat lahat ng pagsubok na meron ako, malaki talaga ang pasasalamat ko sa Lord kasi alam ko marami akong pagkukulang as His servant pero hindi talaga ako iniwan ng Lord. Thank you Lord!



Namiss ko magsulat. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi na ako nakakapag-blog. E eto yung pinakagusto kong gawin sa lahat. Ang magsulat. Pero sa lahat ng sinusulat ko ang gusto ko talaga is to bring glory to His name. Yung makita ng tao how mightily He works in my life. Na kahit hindi ako perfect mahal na mahal ako ng Lord. Yun lang naman yun e. Nun nalaman ko yung grabeng pagmamahal ng Lord sa akin, wala ng nagkulang sa buhay ko, naging kumpleto talaga ako. Bukod sa isang napakasayang pamilya na meron ako, sa mga totoong kaibigan na for sure meron ako, nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa Lord, kasi alam ko I'm loved. Na kahit wala na akong boyfriend, alam ko may taong nagmahal sa akin ng totoo, and thank you Lord being so faithful in my life. :) You've been so good thats why you deserve all the honor and praises!



Kahit mixed emotions ako sa mga event ng buhay ko, salamat Lord for being my God. Thank you for carrying my yoke. Kahit wala na akong boyfriend, ikaw pa din anng first love ko. Kahit nawalan ako ng kaibigan, ikaw pa din ang bestfriend ko. Alam ko wala kaming pagsubok na haharapin nahindi namin kaya. Thank you Lord for your love!

Mahal na mahal kita Lord :) I will do everything for you! :)

Every woman dreamed to be loved by a man.

Being in a relationship wasn't my first dream since I came to know Jesus. My Christian life helped in various ways to prioritize things in my life. I have learned what to do first and what to do last. Finishing school was first in the line, passing the board exam was my ultimate dream, and working as a nurse is beyond what I've been wanted to do in my life, and of course those were next to serving and honoring God in everything that I do.

When he came into my life, I wasn't in need of a boyfriend. Knowing him was like a bonus, and letting him court me and actually showing up to my entire family were like more than a fairytale to me. We started right. We met in church, we discuss about faith, we pray together. We were not just boyfriend/girlfriend, we're actually friends, best of friends. We shared a lot of stories in our lives and I thank God for allowing us to know each other better and deeper.

He knows how much I love him, I know how much he loves me.

Our family and friends witnessed this one year of love in us. It may be disappointing to hear this from me, but I'm making it public. I have decided to end our relationship 11 days before we celebrate our supposed to be 1st Year Anniversary last May 8, 2012. It was not a mutual decision, it was actually my decision. It's a God-given decision that I have to do. It will never be as easy as you think. It's hard.

But I am confident to let you go. Our life after this separation will determine if we're really meant for each other. I trust God enough to trust you that you will be doing just fine even without me. You know it so well how grateful I am for having you as my first boyfriend, for the love you've given me, and for the respect you've shown me. I never regret the time I've spent with you. Thank you for preserving me as God's woman, and thank you for saving our first kiss, it's more than the respect that I deserved to have. Thank you.

"The key to finding out if this really is "your" man is in being willing and able to completely let go."

"If this man is indeed, God's choice for you, despite the spiritual and physical circumstances, you can count on looking down the road and seeing your "Jonah" making his way up the path when you least expect it. And when he returns, he will be a new man."

Im glad because after all, we're still friends. No regrets, like why we did this, why we did that. It's a clear break up that the both of us may grow deeper in the Lord, though in separate ways but one in spirit.

Manuel, mag iingat ka palagi. HA!! God bless!
