Top 3 Touching Moments
For no reason, I couldn't sleep and for some reason I feel like I had to write something. So I decided reflecting on the things that have happened in my life, the places I've been through, the occasions I've attended to, and the interesting conversations I've had with people from all walks of life. The product? Well, I've come up with three of the most touching moments I have experienced, witnessed, or at least heard of.
#3. AUDPRAA: 2.0
It's an ordinary course card day at DLSU. Some make it, some don't. I wasn't expecting to pass my AUDPRAA subject. And guess what, I was right. I failed. Eventhough I was expecting it, I didn't quite expect that it would be that painful. I felt like a crumpled piece of paper. I couldn't think of anything and ask anything to myself other than "can shit really happen for more than seven days, CONSECUTIVELY to the same person?!"
I felt like the unluckiest person alive. Damn, I'm not doing good at anything. I'm like, "This is it!" If I would have to repeat this subject, my review for the board exams would be ruined. Everything was so planned up to the board exams, and all I have to do is pass all my requisites, but I didn't. I'm not gonna let this ruin my timetable. I should fight for this. I did, I talked it out with my teacher (you know who you are ;) ), and through God's help, and through her mercy, I did pass! I wasn't expecting it. It was my first time to actually 'negotiate' with my grade and it worked! I got a 2.0! My prof told me that she will pass me under one condition: "You have to promise me that you are going to study well on your next subjects." I cried. That wasn't part of the plan.
It was a turning point of my life. It has changed everything. I had to prove that I was worth passing. This is one of the reasons why I worked so hard to pass the CPA board exams.
Sometimes, I guess you have to experience failures in order to know how important the goal you are trying to achieve is to you. And sometimes, goals aren't meant to be for you alone. I guess they are meant to be offered to other people as well just as how blessings are to be shared with other people.
#2. Ed and Dazzle's Wedding.
It was December 2004. As usual, I am the bride's maid at my cousin's (the groom)wedding. Everything was planned well, a wedding coordinator was called, a group was set to sing, I was wearing a designer gown and not to mention, a fine dinner waiting for me at a fancy hotel. Well, actually, it was a normal, traditional wedding. We've all done our walk down the aisle except for the bride. Then, a girl from the singing group made her own interpretation of "Heaven."
From afar I could now see the bride walking, but wait, "all by herself?" Thinking that this is a traditional wedding, she should be walking with her father. At first I thought, "Talk about ATTENTION all to herself!"
Okay, okay, glad I only said that to myself. Later I realized that the bride's father is too old to walk and so he is on a wheelchair. Okay, so that's why... But wait, it does't end there. Just before the bride reaches the group, a few feet away, there is the bride's father, on a wheelchair, waiting for his daughter. The bride went straight to her father. The father, with all the strength he has, stood up, got off from his wheelchair and walked her daughter slowly to her groom. Everyone who saw, including me, was crying.
Now, that's a walk to remember!
#1. The Greatest Love Story Ever: The Muslim Wedding.
During the review, I had a seatmate, and she was a Muslim. We got along pretty well and one day we decided to study the whole day together. While we were eating dinner, I got really curious. I never really had conversations with a Muslim before, so I asked things about Muslims, their life and all. And she told me the greatest love story ever...
She said that they are really conservative. They are not allowed to get into realtionships, and that traditional fixed marriages were still common. Once there was this young Muslim couple. They kept their relationship a secret because it was forbidden. Neither of their parents knew each of them.
One day, the mother of the girl found out that her daughter was having a secret relationship and ordered her to break up with him and forced to have a fixed marriage with someone that she never met and will only meet on the wedding day! Since they could not do anything, the couple broke up and never saw each other again.
On the day of her wedding, the girl was sobbing to tears and kept on crying until she walks to her groom. Yes, I know, this only happens to movies, but believe it or not, her groom was actually her ex-boyfriend.
