Si Ate Nina

I'm writing this entry after we gave our surprise celebration to her. Her birthday is actually next week, but we decided to celebrate it earlier.

I can't help but feel happy for this person, Ate Nina is like a sister that I never had. I would never forget what she said to me when she asked me to continue the last four talks of CLP (Christian Life Program). During that time, I tried to withdraw from the community because of what took place in our family. I felt that I don't deserve to be part of that group. Needless to say, I don't have a face to show them.
I've missed four talks, and that time, I thought that, wala siguro silang pakialam.
Apparently, I was wrong.

Ate Nina texted me and asked if we could meet at one place. I gave it a chance.
She asked me if I'm willing to continue CLP. I told her that I was not really certain about it. I cannot forget what she said to me at that moment, "Sayang. Alam mo, gusto ka namin kasama." I was moved when I heard these words. I was not close to her that time, but I knew that she was a sincere person. Then, I also realized that you would seldom hear these from people. I find it hard to trust people because of my past experiences. But with her, I took the chance.

That time,I saw God's human face through her.
Earlier, when we did our 'honoring', I realized how she touched other people. In other words, she is a blessing to us. Kuya Vheen, her boyfriend ,told us that of all the things that we said to her, he knew that he is with the right girl. If I'm going to hear this line from a special someone, I would probably be the happiest person on earth.

A kind-hearted person like Ate Nina deserves to be treated like a princess for a day.
