Joel Christopher as popularly known in the net as "
The Masterlistbuilder" is our Kuya Joel.
Josephine and I are always fascinated by him because of his intellectual and leadership prowess. Most of all, he's our mentor and big brother who unconditionally finance our high school and college education. Because of his kind heart, we're able finish our studies and both of us graduated with honors.
He influenced us a lot that we too develop a HABIT of READING. The joy in it which he fondly advocates unquestionably equipped us with vast knowledge.
We remembered back then, we're so reluctant to talk to him because he's really a persuasive speaker that our inital reaction everytime he speaks was to bow our head and not to look at him straight in the eye because honestly we don't know what to say and we just manage to reply with a YES or NO, no But's and If's.
When we are still studying, he asked for a continuous communication so he'll know what's happening in school and in our family at home. A brief note would do, but how many unmailed letters we keep to ourselves because of absurd timidity? Many...
We don't even consider of thinking the "IF". Our thinking cap was he can be reach but there is something hindering in the middle, maybe our shyness and hesitations of unknown reasons.
" What If" we are given the opportunity to know him better?
Reminiscing those good old days , meeting with him is a drop in the bucket. What more with the idea of working with him and be a part of his business? Really a fat chance.
But as we grow older, gradually we realize that it's not what we think of . Simply because he's too humble to take the first step to reach out.
And now that I'm working as his Personal Assistant, I'm so PROUD to SAY that he is really a Patriotic, Philanthropic, Altruistic and Benevolent man.
Phen and I are very thankful that we are lucky enough to be choosen as his scholars.
We take this opportunity to say "
Thank You" for the countless good deeds you showed to everybody. And for us, you do it with a turn.
Happy Birthday and we all wish for good health and happiness for you and your family this year and many more years to come.
Happy Happy Birthday
and
Thank You very much
Kuya Joel.
