A man's journey

I found this in my old USB. Gusto ko lang i-share! :)


*********

Nakakatawa how one falls inlove then falls out of it.
It’s funny rin how one would die looking for it while one would just let it die.

It’s ridiculous how each and every one of us is very much affected by love.
And it’s a wonder how everyone lives/dies because of love.

Well, here is a story...

In a dream, God told me that I could pick up any girl I like from his field. But I have to choose only one. Once na nakapili na ako, I have to raise my hand as a signal that I finally found her, then go back to God for praise.

But hey!

May isa pang kondisyon. I could never turn back. Once na nalampasan ko, I should move on.

So sabi ko, God surely won’t give me rotten crops of women. I've been a good son and I deserve to be with a good woman.

I was confident I’ll get the best pick! So my journey began…

As I went through the field, nakita ko ang ibat-ibang klase ng babae. Some were tempting me to pick them up. And some were indeed tempting to pick up. Pero sabi ko baka sa dulo ng field na ito may mas maganda, mas mabait, mas matalino, mas masipag at mas mahal ako so, I let go.

Once…
Twice…
Thrice…

I believe frequently that in the end of the field is my princess, waiting for my open arms.

Then I saw a girl. She looked at me straight in the eye and blew a kiss. Our gazes met and I don’t know why. Pero there was something in her that I longed for. I felt as if something was drawing me to her. Pero di pwede! Hindi maaari! I have to make it to the end of the field. Baka sabihin ni God, atat ako tsaka wala akong patience. Naisip ko, habang lumalayo ako, makakakita pa ako ng mas mataas na klase ng babae, na baka as I move further eh may mas hihigit pa sa kanya until I reached the end of d field. At wala akong nakita at nakuha.

God asked me...

"Di ba napakakulit mo (Ay! ako pala un!), araw-araw na ginawa ng Diyos eh nagdadasal ka na magkaron ng perfect partner in life, bakit ngaun wala kang dala? My crops are all fresh and good. There's nothing there not ready and good for pickin’…."

I answered,

"I thought I would see someone in the end of d field eh! Juskupow! Wala na pala. Hmp! I thought that each step I took brought me closes to perfection when in fact, each step brought me closer to nothingness!"

I remembered that girl who was looking at me. I know she's the one but I let her go, believing na there's someone better at the end of the field.

God said,

"I’m sorry my child, but I have given you enough time to choose. You should face the reality and its consequences."

With my head bowed down I said,

"I’m sorry, I wasn't brave enough to raise my hand in the middle of the field and commit myself to someone. I was not ready to face the challenges of life with someone I thought was of lesser value than me. I'm sorry."

Nagising akong umiiyak, saying sorry to G0D and feeling sorry 4 myself and my life. Then I realized that God is giving me another chance to choose but not in his field but in the field of uncertainty.

Now I’m thinking about that girl in the field, the girl I felt was for me, wondering what might have been if I raised my hand the moment I saw her. Haysss….

What is the meaning of all my hardships to be successful and wealthy? I may become the most powerful and successful person on earth but if I don’t have that someone whom will I share my love and happiness with, then it will not be worth anything.

Para sa ating lahat ito.

Think about it. We are not getting any younger. Explore God's field. I'm sure nanjan lang xa sa tabi-tabi. Maaaring in the beginning, in the middle or in the end. It’s for you to find out. But most importantly, it’s for you to choose. It’s a part of the whole concept of love.

It’s a risk you have to take, a decision you have to make. And once you have decided on it, there's no turning back. Bear in mind that from this, you’ll have the courage to raise your hand and declare that you’ve found your match whether you are at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of your journey. Or else you'll regret it.

At ang huling phase ng lahat ng yan e ito lang.

Once you’ve raised your hand, go back to God and thank Him. In short, maging kuntento ka sa napili mo. Ikaw naman ang pumili nyan eh. All He did was to give you options. And since, He gave you that privilege, consider it a blessing!

Kuha mo???!
