"He has a heart of a lion when it comes to dealing with people of all ages, all races, all personalities and all attitudes. He never lets anybody be bored or sad when he's around because he will always have something up his sleeves.
There will always be a twinkle in his eyes, a smile on his face and he will never fail to lend a helping hand to anyone. He was raised to do his best in everything he does which creates a certain aura of confidence around him wherever he goes. He's definitely a great friend and a reliable person.
In his own way, he exudes his happy-go-lucky attitude and as infectious as his smile, his care-free personality will touch anyone who's in the same room as he is. His friendliness and openness has been mistaken wrongly most of the time but that is who he is - a person who lets everyone in his life so that he will know them by heart and remember them by name.
His life is like an open book and he will never fail to hand out a pen for those who would want to scribble in it, as he will definitely treasure these memories and hold them close in his heart. He loves peace and harmony and do not like to see his friends hurt too long. His willingness to forgive often supercedes his anger in just a matter of time, and would rather have a friend than an enemy.
I know that if he goes blind, he can see with his mind, if he goes deaf, he can go by instinct and if he fails in life, he will just shrug his shoulder, let out a snicker and go on living. When the time comes for him to pass his baton of life to the next generation, he will definitely feel that his life is fulfilled as he has loved and is loved by all the people who matters to him.
He will be remembered by all as the guy-next-door who would always brighten up a dull room, a person who is willing to share everything he's got to those who needs it most but above all he will be loved for his loving nature, his innocence thoughts about life, his naive yet experienced perception on love and his undying urge to make better his way of living and also to those whose life he touches every single day."
I nominated him for Cleo's Eligible Bachelor 2005. This is what I wrote about him. He was shortlisted and went for a photoshoot. However due to technicality, he did not manage to grace the pages of Cleo.
But I just wanted to share this experience I had with Jerry with all of you.
And I want him to know that despite my weaknesses and failures, he still stood by me. In spite of my insecurities and doubt, he still held me by my hand, never letting go. Yes we had a turbulent past and yes there were hiccups here and there. Who doesn't? I lost perspective somehow and I lost myself. Somehow I did not know what was I doing anymore and went on auto pilot. All I knew what to do was to build a fort as high as the sky and shielded myself from hurt, sorrow and anger. My whole world was myself and my son. Noone else.
And so today, I wanna remember how I was 2 years ago. How giving and loving and understanding I was. How I felt when I wrote the write up to Cleo magazine about him. I wanna reminisce on the power of faith and hope that I once had 2 years back. I wanna stop building forts and walls, but instead I wanna build bridges and nurture love, patience and peace.
I want healing from insecurities and doubts, and to allow happiness and joy to come into my life. I have come a long way, and as I told Chegu Carol, life is short and we all should live our life to the fullest, and not linger on to the past for too long. We should learn from it, but never bring the baggages along with us wherever we go. Imagine luggages weighing 30kgs each, and imagine dragging that into every relationship, friendship and courtship. Definitely the ship will sink!!
Anyway I wanna learn to forgive and put it to rest. What important is now and the future. I should not let that out of my head. Learn to forgive. Learn to embrace joy and happiness. Learn to love unconditionally again. This man loves me. I should not be afraid to let him in fully, as love heals and nurtures. Of course there will be hurt now and then, but that is where love intercedes. It teaches one to be patient, understanding but most of all teaches one to hold back unnecessary words that might come out from one's mouth due to our anger.

The love of man is nothing compared to the love of God. He loves unconditionally and He has patience and forgiveness for all mankind. Only with the love of God, will man be able to love. To love his enemies, to love the person who had hurt him, to love those who deserves his love. Again this is the love of God. Have it in your heart at all times. Pray for it, and it will intercede when needed. Amen..

In my last post you commented you went on with your relationship after a heart to heart conversation. I don't know if it was as big thing as I am going through but, in any case, how could you trust on your partner after all? how were you able to act the same way as you usually did?
I don't know we don't need each other... but you might provide me with some experience.
Thank you! (and thanks for reading my blog)
Ed, this is a beautiful entry- made me wanna cry! Quick post up photos of your wedding okies! I am so happy you have someone who makes you feel the way you feel...Hope to get together soon!
