Birthday and Christening; A Day with Siblings by Heart
Another blessed day I had, I woke again with the sounds of the pouring rain but I need to get up because it's a special day, especially to my bestfriend; the first birthday and Christening of her son.
For those who haven't tracked my articles, I've shared an article about my bestfriend. She broke up with her bf, but after a months she found out that she's pregnant. She keep it as a secret and she was pressured on what will the society will say about her, especially the high expectations of her family. I am the first person whom she shared about her situation, and I do my best just to support morally. Finally, the right time came and she was able to tell the truth to her parents. He open up about it, until her ex discovered it too. But then, her ex spread a lot of accusations and don't even visit her; as of now, her ex didn't support the child. After all these struggles makes my bestfriend to became strong, and know her worth. She was able to provide more than what her son needs, and give the love and care for the baby without asking anything from her ex. Finally the day has come, and it's her son's first birthday and Christening.
As a bestfriend, ofcourse I'm one of her chosen godparent. I'm even so excited when she told it to me. Way back two months ago, she chatted me for upcoming celebration. I am not good in planning about occasion, but she always asked me on what's the best thing to do for that day. One month later she chat me again and asked if I can layout the invitation card, stickers for giveaways and photo of her son intended for the cake. I don't know why but she is so confident about my skills on these things although I'm not pro, I remember when we're highschool she always request me to write for her card.
Since I don't have time to go in the city, I only order dress and sandal online, but then so discouraged when it arrived because it's too big for me. I sell the sandal and bought another one but still not satisfied with the sized, while for the dress it need some adjustments.
At the end, I only wear flat shoes and jeans
First, as usual we go to the church for the proper blessing, she only picked those friends whom she think the best godparents for her son and fortunately most of them are just my bestfriends too.
The Pastor remind us about 3 things that we must do as a godparents which are to guide our godchild spiritually, morality and financially, as we are officially the second parents by the blessings of our almighty God.
After the ceremony, we go to their house and take our lunch.
We stay there until 3 pm, then one of my bestfriend request me if they can stay in our house after the party. We usually gather in our house to have some bonding but since we are too busy in our own life then we rarely do it, until earlier that we gathered again.
3:30 pm when we arrived at home, and all we do is to talk and talk. What I like most about my set of friends is that they are all good influence, I can say that they are a blessings, a bestfriends for lifetime.
We keep on talking about random things, we first talked about "chikas" in social media until end up about the reality of life. Everyone of us aim for good and success, and that is what our conversation make so meaningful.
I'm just hurt when we keep on laughing talking about our past relationships, which we are all victims of cheating, until we noticed that one of our bestfriend is just quiet and smiling. We asked about her relationship with her bf, she smile and said "we broke up". We thought that she is just joking, but then she started to cry, which makes everyone of us get emotional too. She said that she caught her bf flirting with other girl in chat, she confronted him and then she found out that the boy is really cheating at her.
I really hate it when my bestfriends experience it, but then I know that this will make her more strong and know her worth.
At the end, they stay until night, we cook for dinner and they go home 8:30 pm.
A Golden day with my siblings by heart.
