Last night party was a blast despite the “apas lang ko texts” have been let unfulfilled and the ala-Amazing Race search for a suitable venue because the initial place suggested was way too beautiful… 10 years ago. It was a Christo Alumni Gathering with the organizer falling with the “apas lang ko” fiasco adding much to our nonchalance. Nonchalance in the sense that we are used to such hullabaloos to the extent that we continue what we do… without them.
We have promising plans for the the alumni, and as expected to a big group of friendships like this are a plethora of stances and personalities trying to assert themselves… there are those who are the rumor/warmongers,lider-lideran types,the passive, the luoran type, the maaartes, the financiers/sponsors, freeloaders, devil’s advocates, the passive, the apathetic-pathetic and so much more. But we see past through all those things because we understand individuality. But in turn, we demand trust, respect and commitment to everything we do or say.
Friendships are like covalent bonds. One must SHARE electrons to form a greater compound. Such as one must share / let go part of itself for the friendship. Such sharing will not diminish you but makes you much more in synch with people. I believe that the days of “Love me for what I am” are long gone and the era of “Seek first to understand than to be understood” is in progression.
The “Basta kay Kristo” magic is to hard to let go. Thus, we also seek to capture it as much as we can. Great plans and successes came from great sharing of electrons. May we realize that we need to shed deprecation, may it with ourselves or of others,out. Revitalizing, the Christo Alumni is in ts course and we will take it slowly and happily until everybody can take notice of our joyful endeavors.
I would like to thank all my Christo Buddies who have shared their electrons last night to Bhongot and Anne who happily rediscovered the Christo bonds, Angel and CJ who enjoyed the pool so much, Raul & Jecjec, Athan and to my ever happy friends Misheng, Yan, Mich and Chriss and Most of all to our international Sponsor, Feline. To those who fell victim to the “Apas lang ko txt,” don’t fret it has just begun there are more get together like this to come.
Covalent friendships may require sharing but be reminded that God loves a cheerful giver (2 Cor 9:7) and we see to it that we all share ourselves happily. Basta kay Kristo!
