12 days more - "VIP"

Aw damn Marinelle. lol. Her blog made me think. "Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional." I totally forgot about this quote and I swear I made a blog about it. Well excuse me for my ignorance on my last blog. I wasn't being very Christ-like at all. I took the pain, but I'm not going to suffer from it. Besides, I got all that I need already. God has blessed me with better gifts, people, and love. Why pay attention to the things that brought me down when I could be paying more attention to God's blessings which are bringing me up?

So speaking of blessing God has given me, I decided to do a VIP blog. I will be doing a couple of these cause there are so many important people in my life that should be recognized. But first off, I'm going to start with someone who means a dime in a dozen to me. Warning; this entry will be a hella long entry. There is a lot I have to say about this person.

It's funny how God allows faith to fall into place. He's planned your whole life, every single detail of it, before you were even born. God has blessed me with so many wonderful people. He's especially blessed me with my boyfriend William Jr. Tolentino Ramiscal.

I didn't know Junior before. He was just another face in the crowd, an acquaintance, a member of the Kick Ass Crew. It was during Vicky's 18th birthday celebration when God worked his magic. With every debut, there is a dance with the birthday girl's 18 closest friends. Each are paired with one guy and one girl. I was partnered with Shaun Ags. When came the first day of practice, a change was made. I was no longer Shaun's partner. Vicky matched me with Junior. Now it's strange cause at the time Vicky and Junior had something going on with each other and for another thing, I was too short compared to Junior's tallness. Yet, somehow we were a perfect match.

I started cruising more with KAC which meant I hung with Junior more. We would text each other non-stop. We didn't like each other at the time. Him and Vicky stopped talking and he started seeing this girl from Maui. I was talking with a guy better known as Mr. Incredible. Still, Junior and I were great friends. He was the guy I'd go to for advice (Neil and Sean was never there for me Lol.) We would shut each other down with our inside jokes. He was kinda like an older brother that I always wanted. Lol. Who knew we'd become more than friends.

I never seen Junior as a guy I'd end up liking. He was a really great guy and I knew he'd make a great boyfriend but I never thought about making him my boyfriend. It quickly crossed my mind this one time at starbucks when the guys and I were playing "truth or dare." It was junior's turn and he chose truth. Someone asked him if he liked any of his friends (the girls of course). He said yes. At first he didn't want to say who. There were two girls and for some reason I knew he was going to say that I was one of them. In the end, he confessed who they were and in the end I was right. One of the girl friends was me.

Like I said, it quickly ran through my head, but I couldn't imagine Junior and I together. My friendship with Mr. Incredible was already falling apart because of our feelings and I'd hate to ruin my friendship with junior. So I didn't think about it. Junior and I stayed close, maybe even got closer as friends. He would pick me up for school cause we had the same first period together. But for some reason, every time he would take me to school we would always end up not going. I guess that's what happens when you have 5 of your friends who ride to school togther in the same class. (haha, gotta love KAC) Junior and I also was planning to join the math team. Lol. WTH right?! Junior was, (still is,) a nerd, especially for Math. He'd make sure I get my homework done so we'd go to starbucks together and do our homework. And in return I gave him some tips on how to dance. Haha. Yeah, it didn't work well for him. Keep in mind, we were still just friends. You'd think one girl and one guy who act like this had something going on, but we didn't.

Mr. Incredible and I didn't work out. I started liking another guy and this crush drived me crazy. The guy was an artist: grafitti, photography, digital media. Yeah, not really my type, but he made me have some emotional breakdowns. Junior was always there for me. I'd vent to him about this guy (lets just say his name is Jay) and junior would listen and give me positive feedback. Everyone was talking about prom around this time and though I kinda had a date for prom, I really wanted to ask Jay just to see what he'd say. Yet, I knew what the answer was going to be. So I wanted to ask Junior instead. But I was tempted to ask Jay not knowing what God wanted me to do. So I asked God. I went to the chapel one day and I prayed on it. I told God to let me know who I should ask. Who he wanted me to be with at prom. Sitting there in silence, all I could think about was myspace. Silly me, that's why I gave it up for lent. Lol! Well it was actually God talking to me, so when I got home I logged on to myspace and did a survey. I remember this one question on the survey: "Do you like math or art?" I seriously suck at art, that's why I don't like it. Math on the other had, I don't mind. So I chose math. Before I went to sleep that same night, that question popped into my head. Now put the pieces together: math or art? The whole day I was wondering who God wanted me to go with to prom, yet I knew the answer. Funny, right?

So on valentines day I asked Junior to prom. He was a bit upset. Lol. He said he was going to ask me to prom. I guess I beat him to it. >:) I finally started to see Junior as more than just a friend. There was one week where we hung with each other everyday. The first day we hung with shaun at the great aloha run. Played truth and dare again. Lol Did some stupid stuff. The next night we went to starbucks to do our homework, but decided to stop. Instead we went to barber's point and starred at the stars. That night we got caught by the cops so we had to leave. Lol. The next day we went to the movies and watched Friday the 13th. I was scared for some reason and kept closing my eyes. Junior tried to tear my hands from my eyes. We ended up holding hands throughout the movie. The next night we studied again at starbucks but ended up not doing homework so we hung at geiger.

So we were unofficial until March 16, 2009. Junior has been my everything: my friend, my brother, my anti-bad, my parent, my tutor and now he's my boyfriend. Yeah, it's funny how God blesses you with people. I'm just lucky I've got junior. Though at times, I feel like I don't deserve him, I am so thankful to have him in my life. Lol. Though this is the end of my story, this isn't the end me and junior's journey. I've become better with him, but the best is yet to come (<---copy righted from some show.)

12 more days: Thank God for every moment, gift, and person he's blessed with you.
