December 29, 2010 at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, i went to witness a bond of commitment my two friends made. It was a joy to see two people standing before the man of cloth saying each other's vows. Their love story was not one of those typical friends became lover stories. It was a relationship no one among our peers ever thought would blossom to more than just friends.
Ferds and Gina are my teammates in Metavante. Their relationship started as boss-subordinate. Gina being the lead and Ferds as the subordinate. When Ferds was transferred to UBS project, Gina stayed with Metavante. After a year, Gina was also transferred to UBS. I got the same fate as they from Metavante to UBS. I saw how close they've become. And Gina having a boyfriend that time, I never noticed the different closeness they have.
When we all are back in Manila from our onshore assignment in Zurich, I never saw them together as a couple maybe because we were assign to different projects and buildings. I just hear gossips about them being a couple but got no confirmation.
And now, they are married. As I look at them having their first dance as a couple. I could not help but wish that I get to marry someone who has been my friend. Because you dont need to impress a friend. All you have to do is be yourself. And when love has blossom in both your hearts, it would be the best thing in the world. Coz both loved each other for who and what they are.

In the spirit of EDSA
The article below has been created by me last February 2010:
February is the month we celebrate the success of the EDSA Revolution. It was a revolution that put the Philippines in world history for having a bloodless revolution. Many years ago, a story about the French Revolution was written by Victor Hugo. This story was then made into a musical play: Les Miserables. One of the songs captured my interest; it spoke of what our brave men must have felt... DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?
Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.
The Filipinos got fed up with the Marcos' regime. They have shouted: "TAMA NA! SOBRA NA!" The cry for democracy was deafening as each and everyone stood and let their voices be heard. These voices led to the exile of the late former President Ferdinand Marcos and the election of Corazon Aquino to the presidency. From that moment, the Filipinos who were hungry for freedom has seen the rainbow after 20 years of continuous rain.
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me,
Beyond the barricade is there a world we long to see?
Then join in the fight that will lead you the right to be free
A barricade has been built to symbolize the division of the people crying for change and of the people who wanted to stay in power. But beyond the barricade or barbed wires, tanks and guns are the people armed with rosaries and prayers. They stood strong and united in their crusade for peace and freedom.
Will you give all you can give so that our banner will advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take a chance
The blood of the Martyrs will water the rivers of France.
EDSA Revolution happenned 24 years ago, what have we contributed to keep the democracy? What have we done to preserve the EDSA Spirit? Are we going to waste the sweat and blood of these brave men and women who fought for us?
Fellow Filipinos, it is time to wake up(again) from our slumber, to rise above these corruptions and politics. It is time to stand up and take a chance to make a difference! Let us repay our heroes by making the Philippines a better place to live in for our children and our children's children.

My Angel
“Do you believe that Angels exist?”, I was once asked
And I replied, “ They do exist, I believe
But to prove it’s existence is a difficult task
Because on earth I don’t think they live”
Angels I know have wings
With robe so white and clean
But how wrong I am with things
Because I met one without wings and who is lean
A man who is intelligent
A man so kind and tall
A man who is patient
A man with no vices at all
In my heart he is so dear
As he advices for what is good
Coz his intentions are clear
Even on my food
Angels guide you to what is right
With a heart as pure as dove
This man make my day so bright
Angel Udit my heart so love.
