“God, unless u Establish my Life/Relations/Career, if not, whateva I do, will be in vain”.

On this fateful day, 19/9/05, was the day I met with my long known online chat friend, Calvin.
Back then, our friendship was superficial and friendly, counting 2-3 yrs ago.. . I stumbled upon, knowing him together with a few of his online friends as I was looking online for help with my C programming exam project. He was a nice, friendly, generalized, decent friend I would classify as compared, spoken to many other “male fiends” on the IRC.

The above past statement of his, had at that time, made me puzzled and emotional about his cause of statement. As much as I thought to ignore, and as much as I know that I am “weak” my own, but i was still somewhat prompted "loudly" to feel, to ask, to care, to give, that my once strong and good faith, Christian lover of God, had sent a deep msg of his insecurity.

I tried hard to recall, tried hard to phrase the insights I was once well taught, in my cathehism classes, to wish to “perk” him up, but having to have lost most of God’s Love, knowing my current inadequate self to want provide for him like therapy which would require time, focus and energy, still, I rejected my feeling of initial deterrence.

"Whatever I can.."I thought, simply hopeful, thus introduced my favourite “K-Love” radio station to him, hopefully the songs broadcasted, would to be his liking and perhaps "perk" him up, with their wide ranges of music, all in praise of God.

Few statements we shared, most however, was like "ticking, destructive bomb" i felt, almost immediately, i was thinking, "Intro Him Salsa!!! This Guy must Go,Go GO!!!"

Coincidentally that day, an arranged private movie gathering with Jessy & Philip, immediately invited Calvin & Belinda to Starlight Cinema and I started to smiled from ear-to-ear.

Till this day, my after-thoughts are, how glad I am, to have know Calvin much better as a friend, and exuberant that an acquaintance like me, is worthy of his trust! His shared faith and gentle reminders, make me feel empowered to my own challenges and of that is before me.

To Calvin, I am extremely happy & glad to have a new friend, spontaneous & funny, Christian friend like you, whom I can relate my faith to and my to-be salsa partner as well!!! We serve great reminders to each other! Great!!!
