Today, I had the funniest epiphany when I read a text message from a friend who always had the habit if putting “GBU! MMLU!” at the end of each of his messages. I never bothered to ask what those letters meant, but just amused myself by guessing what they could have meant: goodbye? Nah. Gandang gabi? Nah. Mumumwah? Ech. Besides, I was embarrassed to ask about what seemed like a normal texting gesture. Nevertheless. This morning came another text message:
“ Good Morning!
Behind every circumstance is GOD’S PURPOSE.
At times, what we consider TRIALS
are simply the HAND of GOD
rearranging our lives to be more FUITFUL!
GBU! (“,) MMLU! “
More than the message, what roused my curiosity was that “signature” at the end of the message (I always receive these godly messages from the guy, I don’t know why they do that). Funnily enough, a certain girl popped into my head: the daughter of Eddie Gil! Eddie Wig Gil, who was the ex-presidential candidate deemed incapable of running the campaign by COMELEC back in 2004!
This daughter had a “novelty song” which contained the lyrics, “I love you mama, I love you papa, God Bless you, Mama Mary loves you!” Hence the signature GBU!MMLU! The song had a comical tune with it, to match the simple lyrics. I burst out laughing, because the Gil family actually sang it together on national TV (unaware that they were being used as clowns; they were so proud). Anyway, I almost fell over, holding my phone and laughing silently as I woke up today. Sometimes, God has a funny way of giving you a shot of realization.
Good day everyone. GBU!MMLU! (HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!)
