oh well, gradually bouncing back. by the way, as i'm typing this, i'm already enrolled for this semester. Tuloy lang buhay. Maybe one of these days i'll tell you some of the problems that i 'm still facing regarding that. however, one thing is for sure, she's finding a way for me to go back...even against my will.

Guys and gals, bad news. I will be excommunicated (dapat nung Sunday, pero di natuloy)...well it's okay...i understand them. I respect their decision. I don't want to defend myself anymore. However, one thing is sure: i gave my best to her in that two years. Pero frankly, upon hearing the news, it made me hate her more. However, what's the point? Besides, i have my own share of faults. You win some. You lose some.

Actually, hindi natuloy nung Sunday, pero may decision na ganun na nga. Okay lang sa akin. This is better than explaining the matters to each disgruntled members one by one. Maybe they're just avoiding attendance loss (kasi maraming nakapanig sa girl). It's okay. Honestly, di ako galit sa church, despite that hard decision. If the church went to my side, there will be divisions. Chances are, there are members who will no longer attend there (gets?). Maiigi na yung ganito. After all, i don't want to defend myself to them even right from the start. It hurts though because i sacrificed reunions, outings, even visiting my grandparents when they're ill, because of church activities.
I don't know what she said to them, but the sadder part is that one of the higher-ups there said, "Don't believe him (me)." That means they thought i'm a liar. Oh well, like i said, don't want to defend myself to them. After all, the church have decided. Still, hindi ako galit sa kanila. The church must do what they must do to me. (i don't know if she starts to feed informations...kaya they concluded that my information is a lie).
Thanks sa inyo, mga beerkadets. Don't get me wrong sana. Hindi ako nagpapaawa. I saw threads here about break-ups, so maybe i can share mine too.

ex-communication? what the hell for? anyway, wag mo na lang sagutin if you want. i think it's unfair. the church shouldn't meddle with private affairs that have no impact naman sa church community.
better things are up ahead for yah... we're just here.

I tried these things to be as private as possible...but she said things to the church people anyway. It's okay. Walang anger akong nararamdaman sa kanila. Thanks for the boost
Oliver: can't blame the church people...they just saw the girl's side.

WHAT IN THE FRIGGIN' WORLD TO THEY CARE IF YOU BROKE UP WITH THE GIRL?!?!?!
ITS NONE OF THEIR FRIGGIN' BUSINESS!!!!
MY GOD!!! your problems with that girl is a personal matter, it should only be between you and the girl. Or if that girl can't handle her problems by herself, it should've just stayed between you and your families.
KATANGAHAN NAMAN NG PAMILYANG YAN?!?! IDAMAY DAW BA ANG CHURCH NYO?!?! excuse me for saying this... BUT ITS SO STUUUUUPPPIIIIIIIDDDDD!!!!!!
Your decision for breaking up with that girl.... is the BEST decision you've ever made for yourslef. yun lang

Ang tindi naman yata niyan? What do you intend to do now? Where do you worship/ go to church na? Will you try to go back?
Pero you know, wag mo i-equate ang church sa mga tao sa loob non. Yung reason-- The reason-- why the church exists, sa kanya ka lang may pananagutan in the end.
See you on Saturday, BUGOY!

Najanaja: pa-iba-iba, pero baptist pa rin...thanks for the boost. I'll go back if things die down. I'll undergo their discipline if the excommunication was lifted. Then, after the displining time, maybe i'll move to another church...unless if the people still want me there.
Akira25: thanks for boosting me up.
Now, guys and gals...help with the bowling...i don't know how to score...
You know what? I brought back one of my hobbies: reading dictionary 1 page a day.
"oh, the river is wide, the river it touches my life...like the waves on the sand...and all roads lead to tranquillity base...where the frown on my face disappears..."
Just got the news...I was supposed to be excommunicated last Sunday, but it was postponed...why? Because one of the informations were confirmed not true (that i was in that place in which i was not...). Thanks for the boost. Still though, whether the outcome is one way or another, still, i'll not hold grudges against them.
Thanks for the boost again.
Oliver: it also crossed my mind. For now, i'm attending different Baptist churches. Thanks, dude.

Well, that's good for you then, I'm glad that they decided to validate the story first before making a huge conclusion over something that really was nothing.
But still... involving the church?! is just plain STUPID!!!!
I'm sure things will go a lot more well for you and in time... you'll find someone better

That's the problem with religion. There's still an element within it that makes it susceptible to human error. Personally, I try to keep my channels of communication with God as simple as possible. (But that's another threat for anither time...)
Bro, the fact is, that girl's a b-i-t-c-h in every sense of the word. You're better off without her in your life, and everything that's happening to you right now will make you a stronger person. Things kind of sort themselves out in the end, trust me. You will find someone more worthy of you. You will find another way to worship. Things will sort out. It may look like I'm simplifying things, but you have to realize that everything can be simplified. Nothing is that complicated.
I hope you really put this behind you. Don't let this episode ruin your outlook on the whole relationships thing. I like to believe that we get together with certain people in order for us to learn things about ourselves we may have not known before. So take the lessons you've learned here and move on.
Remember, we know sadness so we can appreciate joy. We know pain so we may embrace life.
thanks guys and gals....oh, by the way, good news, my pastor said that the church will not dismiss me as their member. I can attend another Baptist church. Because of that, i attended a Baptist church. The pastor there is a friend of my mom. I told him the WHOLE thing, he understood. He even said that i participate in their choir, dahil kulang daw sila ng male choir members.
Thanks talaga. You are right, Psychocow, i will do my best to leave it behind. Still though, i can proudly say na nagmahal ako. Thanks talaga.

I've been there, bro. I know how you feel. The sooner you stand up and move on, the better for you. And don't believe anybody who says being single is better. They're bullsh**ing themselves.

What about priests? And nuns?
And don't tell me about relationships with altar boys.
