how can i ever find the words to express the happiness i've felt last saturday with my beloved Lisieux? I can only write in sequence and try to relieved the memories they presented to me as a gift I will surely cherish.

last saturday, i attended the wedding of kuya jo and merly at Barasoain Church in bulacan.
even though i slept late last saturday, i woke up early yesterday to meet my Lisieux brothers and sisters at megamall. we will go to bulacan together for the wedding.
I must admit i was worried. you see, i haven't been with these people for a very long time and yet when we saw each other i readily felt the warmth and belongingness that's always been embracing the community.
the travel to kuya jo's house lasted for about three hours. the journey was long but it definitely was full of laughter and "kamustahan" :)
we arrived there only a little before lunch. after eating, we proceeded to practicing our songs for the wedding. then we quickly went to the church for the celebration of kuya jo and merly’s love for each other.
there was a get together after the mass. at around 6:30 pm we decided to get going since it’s getting late.
on our way home, we sang, we laughed and we joked around like little kids in a school bus. i don’t know why but all of a sudden i felt free.
it’s like this, when i started working -- for almost three years now -- i’m always the follower. it affected my attitude towards those who are older and “superior” than me because with them, i’m always cautious. i always wanted to please them and surely i don’t want to offend any of them; in effect (although not wanting to) i fall behind in their shadows. but last saturday, even if there’s still the feeling of not wanting to offend anybody, i laughed, i sung and i kid around with them and felt comfortable with it. and i had a great time :)

next saturday, another sister will be wedded and there will be another chance to be together again.

it was a bit different from the weekend i usually have because this time i am not within the comfort zone of being with baby, this time i am with lisieux and i am also at home.
