This Kiss

It’s probably a chick song but hey it’s feel-good and everybody is entitled to feel good every now and then… much like Music and Lyrics….

—————————————————————————————— 

I don’t want another heartbreak
I don’t need another turn to cry
I don’t want to learn the hard way
Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky

It’s the way you love me
It’s a feeling like this
It’s centrifugal motion
It’s perpetual bliss

It’s that pivotal moment
It’s impossible
This kiss, this kiss (Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse

Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I’m forever yours

It’s the way you love me
It’s a feeling like this
It’s centrifugal motion
It’s perpetual bliss

It’s that pivotal moment
It’s unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss (Unsinkable)
This kiss, this kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let’s let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying

It’s the way you love me
It’s a feeling like this
It’s centrifugal motion
It’s perpetual bliss

It’s that pivotal moment
It’s subliminal
This kiss, this kiss (It’s Criminal)
This kiss, this kiss

That Valentines thing

Whether I am single or in a relationship, I don’t particularly believe in Valentine’s Day. Honestly, I see it as a commercial ploy to get people into thinking that they should do something just to prove their feelings for their loved ones. If you spend because “you have to, it’s Valentines,” then the business owners get richer. I mean why does our manifestation of love have to be confided to a single day? Can’t it be Feb 15, June 25, Sept 30 or Nov 7? Why does everybody have to endure traffic, long restaurant lines and empty pockets? I’d rather go out on a Monthsary or a birthday because at least those are more personal and celebratory.

Well anyway, if there’s any good thing that happened so far because of Valentine’s season, it’s the relationship updates we’ve been having in my SFC chapter. We had series of bonding fellowship that really made me enjoy the ’season.’ I know that the “love-life” topic always puts giggles on people’s bodies but this one is not that kind. It’s more of a calm, honest and contemplated conversation from friends with different relationship status. It’s very refreshing to openly discuss this topic with my chapter mates since most of the time we talk about service or personal problems. This time, it’s just about relationships – the ups, the downs, the good, the bad, and the realizations. From being single to having committed relationship to being married; we have it all. That is probably why I really got a lot of insights from the stories of my chapter mates. I got to know them a lot better and at the same time I got a glimpse of how different people live out their relationships. I particularly appreciate the sharing of the married couples in our chapter because I really saw how the struggles of having to maintain a committed relationship within the community are both real and unique. At the same time I also comprehended how rewarding it can become in the end.

Even if I am invoking the confidentiality clause again, suffice it to say that whatever I gathered from the past weekend assured me that in the long run, I know I will be fine – imperfections and all.

Crossing Over

No, I did not use that title to implicate that someone has passed away. The term crossover is an SFC lingo which basically means that someone got married. It’s a crossover from Singlehood to Marriage.

Last January 20 was another crossing over for two of my chaptermates – Kuya Robert and Cyrel. We fondly call them CyBert. This one was a bit more special for me in a series of a lot my chaptermates getting married. It is so because Kuya Robert was my very first household head. He is a big part of my spiritual growth and why I have endured service here in SFC. He has instilled a lot of ideals that I still try to implement now that I too am in a position of influence. Basically, he really is my ‘kuya’ in SFC. I look up to him and I respect the kind of person that he has become. Imperfect as he may be, I have the highest regards for Kuya Robert .

Anyway, the wedding and the reception was simple, short and sincere. I guess you could really feel what it means to have a union between two lives. I was asked again to host the reception and this time I accepted without any tinge of hesitation. I thought that was possibly the last service that I can do for him while we’re still both in SFC, so I said Yeah. Program changes were coming up to the last minute and usually I would have been irritated. But not this time. I thought that this was my last ‘Thank You’ to the guy for all the sacrifices he has done and for putting up with me when I was still new and uncontrollable. Hehe. In the end, I thought the program went well.

Now the couple has crossed over and we’re down with two less members in the chapter. Argh. I’ve also been hearing a lot of feedback lately that a lot of people want to transfer with us. I wonder why…. Is it because in our chapter, the purpose of SFC to simply be a transition ministry is put into reality? That means that people are moving on and getting married as planned. Or is it just because we have a lot of lovely prospects? Hehe. I guess the two are related.

Additionally, I’ve learned that another couple in our chapter is planning to get married either by the end of this year or early next year – Allan and Rose. I was talking to Allan yesterday and he joked about me and this topic I’m writing about. My response? Well, you’d have to ask me personally…..
