Happy in Cebu City With Michelle

Living in Cebu City for three months is at first, not interesting. I remember staying in the boat going to the city for three hours because of a mechanical defect, that is, docking delayed. When I arrived in the city, I have no friend to fetch me and my huge traveling bag. However, things felt different when I see another angle of the experience. I met a kind, diligent, vibrant, and valiant girl named Michelle. She was proselyting with her companion when I  called her to ask where the LDS chapel is located. That was the start of a memorable journey in Cebu City with Michelle and other full-time missionary friends.

There are three things I really liked about Michelle. First, I really felt that she loved being in the city. She can still speak Visayan language so perfectly. Her emails for me are written in Visayan and I am so proud because I am a Visayan although my province is far from Cebu. Second, Michelle is very thoughtful. During our visits with church members, I cannot remember that I felt bored in the activities we had. I had an experience eating balut with her and some of the Sikatuna ward members.  Lastly, Michelle is a good leader and missionary. By her example, I stood strong all the time. I want to thank her also of the book, Jesus The Christ, she gave me, of which my husband loves to read.

Super Bessie High School Classmate

Since Summer Bubbles is a friendship blog, I will post here, from time to time, fond memories of my friends. The first person to be featured here is.....Bessie! I remembered her as that bubbly lass with a new story to tell every now and then. She speaks louder than an average gal in the corner. I like her sunny personality and friendly vibes. I will not mention her codename here. It's a six-letter-word with matching funny line...(hey ......!)..(:! As of this time, I have no news about her, that's why I missed her. Facebook? Well, that's where I found Super Bessie again.

Why super Bessie? I don't know. As a writer, that idea just came right to me. And I said, "tomorrow, I will write something about Bessie". And where's Buffy The Vampire Slayer? I read that line in her shirt eons ago, I thought that was referring to her daughter. For so long, I missed those days when I was with them, including Bessie. Things are not always smooth when I was with them, but I love the journey. Her role in our high school drama sessions? A supporting actress to Rhed, which is our next featured lady in Summer Bubbles next post. Have a nice day!
