Punzi's Corner Blog: To the one that got away...

This day in history from:

To the one that got away...

Time to reveal a little bit more.

I was courting a girl I met from work when I got "courted" by the mother of my children (as much as I want to, I cannot erase this fact, you know). Because I was sidetracked, this girl got away, and I lost touch because I fell into that hellhole called married life.

I finally got in touch with her again, about seven years later. She's in her early thirties now, still single but according to her, already engaged. Hers is the second wedding I mentioned in this post.

When I got a friendster invite from a mutual colleague, I decided to look her up if she also had an account.

And there she was. With pictures... I forgot how beautiful she was (and still is). Then all the memories came gushing back.

By nature, I really don't dwell into what ifs and maybes, but looking at her pictures (because she is still as beautiful as I remembered her), I'll make an exception, make this entry, and move on... No intention of doing anything further.

For now, I dedicate this post to the one that could have been (?) or got away (????)...

I hope she does not mind (should she discover my small corner in the internet) that I posted her picture here. My friends only have my descriptions on how she looks like a cross between Hilda Koronel and Aiko Melendez (both at their primes, of course). Now, I can prove how pretty she really is... albeit still masked to maintain some semblance of privacy. According to her (her friendster caption), this is still a not-so-good picture...

Anyway, best regards and all the best, my friend... sorry to have bothered you. Just indulge me on this one...

*sigh*
At 11:38 PM, categorically imperative said...: *sigh* I was once "the one that got away."

Wonder if my ex has a blog and posted something similar to this post. My pic on page....

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
