Journey to the PAST: October 3, 2003 - ‘Twas a very special day for me because I met a kindred soul named PG. I was oblivious though, that somewhere, at that same time, someone very special was actually celebrating her birthday.
An unexpected PRESENT: Earlier this year, our birthday girl Rhian Ramos said YES to a project with little to no preparation, causing a ripple effect, as her portrayal of Jade Tanchingco in “The Rich Man’s Daughter” revealed a Personal TRUTH to yet again, the oblivious “me.” “THE TRUTH WILL CHANGE HER LIFE FOREVER. -TRMD”
Rewind to 7 Years ago: October 6, 2008: I got calls and texts from family and friends, greeting me a “Happy Birthday.”
No one knew where I was since the afternoon of Oct.5, so they all bombarded me with questions. I really didn’t mean to make anyone worry, so I told them I was safe, just waiting at the airport…
I was waiting for a miracle or some kind of feeling because... PG passed away August 31, 2008. We never met face to face, yet why do I feel cold and empty? We promised to meet on the Oct 5th so we could celebrate my birthday together on the 6th. I wanted to keep my promise, so I went and WAITED and HOPED being there would give me CLOSURE, but that feeling never came. This line from one of Rhian’s fave TV shows, Game of Thrones, is befitting: “WINTER is coming.”
So, for 7 years I’ve been angry, hurt, resentful, afraid, and guarded. Not letting anyone in, not letting my feelings out. Basically, I was FROZEN in TIME. Is it really that easy to let it go?
August 7, 2015 #TRMDFinale: I had an AHA! moment that had me feeling so blessed, so I started writing again and made a mental list turned bucket list/ birthday wish- to THANK each person who’s who helped me SEE and FIND the Me that God had always wanted me to BE.
When I booked my flight on Sept.4, 2015, I didn’t know exactly How, When, & Where I’d meet those people on my list. Sadly, I felt my heart break instead on Oct.3 when I made the decision to leave the #DreamsNeverEndConcert because I was afraid I won’t make it to Rhian’s surprise birthday party; only to realize… my 1 chance, I did miss!
I was Heartbroken because I was oblivious again to God’s plans; not knowing that on Oct.4, 2015 at 2:38 pm, God sent help through Cyberhian Jo-An. She told me, “go lng, magpakilala ka na…” So, despite all my fears and panicky feels, I went over to the #MeetPedro booth and spoke with Nadine. She was such an angel and called her sister over. And so it was, as God had planned, I finally met Rhian Ramos, the one who said YES to God’s plan and changed my life for the better. “She saved my life,” that was what I told Mommy Clara. As I was crying on her shoulder, she hugged me tight and I felt like I was coming back to life. Thank you for praying for me. So ‘twas on October 4 when a miracle happened! I met 3 wonderful people who were on my Thank You List. From being Hopeless, I am now Hopeful. A big Thanks to God’s Perfect Timing and to you, our Dearest Rhi Rhi… I hope with this story someone, somewhere, will also be blessed because on Oct. 3, 1990 God used a beautiful soul to save me. “God is never in a hurry, but He is always on TIME.”
