Her name is Sharie Bagundol. A 3rd year BS Math student of the University of San Carlos. I met her one fateful Friday night in the Victory Center in Escario dating sometime late 2008 or early 2009. I befriended her because she has the characteristics that I'm looking for in a girl: beautiful, intelligent, witty, talkative, and God-fearing. She is a very nice girl. The type wherein a guy can fall in love with her after 2 hours of getting to know her. I fell for her, too.
I talked to Alex Rivas, one of the LIFE (Leadership, Integrity, Faith, and Excellence) Coaches in the center, last June 21 about me having a plan on courting her. And he hit me with a gut-wrenching question, "Is it the right time?" He was harsh about that. But I gave it a thought. Is it really the right time? My instant answer was NO. Of course I'm a graduating student with all of the requirements and exams and the pressure of excelling in my academics but I also wanted to enjoy life with someone.
For a week, I kept on pondering about it. And God gave me an answer.
Yesterday around 6:30 pm, I saw Sharie. She wore a dress. She looked angelic. She took my breath away. Everything happened so fast and for 2 seconds, she took me in a magical world full of excitement and promise. My heart was beating like crazy the rest of the time. But...
I thanked God for what I saw. She was just so beautiful. I never expected someone to take my breath away and then I saw her. The answer was clear: I should not court her. We'll be better as friends... for now.
