10 Things I did for L-O-V-E

1. Wished in every falling star I have seen since my highschool days, "Sana mahalin n'ya ako katulad ng pagmamahal ko sa kanya para hindi na ako masaktan."

2. Prayed at adoration chapel everyday for 2 months when I was in my senior year in highschool , "Lord, kung s'ya po talaga ang para sa akin sana maging kami na pero kung di talaga ilayo n'yo na lang."

3. Religiously went to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of the impossible, every Thursday to hear mass and light a pink candle symbolizing love praying, "Lord, sana makilala ko na ang Mr. Right ko."

4. Went to different churches even visited as far as Batangas and Davao even one in Lake Tahoe, California because someone told me on your first visit to a church you can make a wish, "Lord, sana makilala ko na ang ipinadala mo sa akin na Mr. Right."

5. Visited Quiapo church and bought a pair of candle molded into a girl and a boy they said light it up make a wish and bind it together so you and loved one will stay together, "Lord, sana kami na habambuhay." 


6. Kept his picture under my pillow because they said that he will think of you the whole night, I say this before I sleep, "Sana hindi ka makatulog at maisip mo ako."

7. Completed 9 days of Dawn Masses (Simbang Gabi) because they said that if you completed it you are entitled to a gift, God will answer your prayer, "Lord, sana sya na."

8. Completed a novena for special prayers, as far as I remember this is how it works, for 9 days pray a special prayer inside a church and leave 9 copies of the novena every day and they say your wish will be granted, "Lord, please give me a sign kung talagang s'ya."

9. Offered 3 days of fasting and prayers to let God answer my questions, "Lord, will I still hang on to this relationship or let it go."

10. Offered 100 days of prayers for the Poor Souls in Purgatory it is believed that souls in purgatory who are under going cleansing of their souls are closer to God so ask them to pray for you and God will hear it first hand through them, "For the souls in purgatory please help me pray for my relationship with my boyfriend may we surpass this trial I promise to pray 50 more days for your souls."

In my long journey of finding Mr. Right, I prayed hard and hold on to my faith in God believing there is really someone meant for me. I never gave up and 12 years after, I found my Mr. Right who I am going to spend the rest of my life with. Worth the wait!
