Let's Start The Party! The Sweet Sixteen Birthday Bash!

Beautiful Day

I received my license today from Red Cross, Valenzuela Chapter. I can’t help but feel so giddy about it, not because I want to show it off but I want to save lives, touch more hearts, and help those in need whenever I can. But my license is not what I’m talking about the beautiful day. The beautiful thing about this day is what happened after our graduation from Red Cross.

I’ve been a Girl Scout since I was 5, as a twinkler scout, then when I was in grade 6, Scouting resumed as a subject. I loathed it at first because I thought Scouting is a hell, but hell no, I was so wrong. Fast forward to now, it’s been 3 years, 3 years with scouting, and I have no plans of quitting.

“Kapag may kinukuha si God sa atin, May ibibigay sya sa atin na higit pa sa kinuha nya. “

At present, there are 21 senior scouting officers, but 2 of us are leaving because they have to switch schools, Roderick has to transfer to St.Mary while Gem has to transfer to Marilao ‘cause his family moved to a new place.

It’s painful for us to let them go because we’ve grown so close to each other to the point that we even treat each other as siblings. I never had a sister, neither a brother, that’s why I treat them so special; I love them from the bottom of my heart. Each one of us is special in a way or two and we already proved that scouting is not an organization; it’s a family… that’s why it’s hard for us to be parted from each other.

These people have touched my life, in scouting, I found not just a sister, but many of them, I found the most beautiful people, the most inspiring brood, and I’ve found the importance of trust, love, and respect in them. I never thought that saying good bye will be the hardest thing to do.

I believe that this is not good bye, my co-scouts might be miles away from us but they will always be in our hearts-forever. No matter what, they will always have a special spot in our hearts, Sabi nga ni Sir Ryan, Scouting is like a kapatiran, even though we’ll be graduating from high school, even though some of us will leave for reasons that they don’t want, but they had to, we’ll always be the family that we always knew. Being apart from each other doesn’t make us separated, neither out of the family because no matter what happens, our family will stay,we’ll always be together- in our hearts of hearts.

Almost all of us cried after Sir Ryan gave his message, because He’s the most loving Daddy that we’ll ever know, even though he’s not perfect, we don’t care, he transformed my life-so do everyone of my co-scouts did. I can’t imagine how I would turn out to be if I didn’t have them. God took away my boyfriend for the reasons that’s only for them to know, but I’m still blessed because I still have my scouting family who accepted me and loved me even though I can be really bitchy, really klutzy, and very hyper sometimes. They love me even if I’m not perfect-and I love them all the same.

This is the last day that we’re going to be complete, because even though many will be a part of scouting, no one can ever replace Roderick and Gem’s place. Life would never be the same without them by my side, but I believe that God has other plans for them that’s why he took them away but what matters is that, God gave us two of his wonderful creatures who touched our lives. It would be a lie If I’m going to tell you that I’ve accepted the truth that God’s taking them away from us, but I know, In God’s own time, My brothers will return to our family.

We might be miles always from each other but Roderick and Gem will always be in my heart, I’ll never forget them, and If they will decide to go back, They are always welcome.

There were times that we become so hard on God, blaming him for taking away those we love dearly, but what we fail to understand is that, God is doing that for a reason, and under the right circumstances, those who left will be replaced by better ones but still, those who left will always be in our heart-and they will never leave us, miles away might be gap but our love for them will always be the bridge to fill the gap.

..and She prepared for the Party!
