The Second Book Of Joshua Crisostomo
Joshua Crisostomo, Youngest son to Ferdie Crisostomo, Mothers boy to Maria Crisostomo, was born on May 16, 1998. In Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Alongside with the Crisostomo’s oldest son, Christopher.. Blessed with their twin sisters, oldest daughter Abigail, and youngest daughter Naomi. They are twins, but non-identical, fraternal is what they call it.. Once upon a time there lay 7 members of the Crisostomo household.. Wait, 7? Whose the extra person? Mother and caregiver to Maria Crisostomo, there was Antonia Rafaela Fajardo.. Mother of Maria, Joshua’s Grandmother.. “Lola Fel” (Is what she was know as) Was also a loving house wife and caregiver alongside Nestor Fajardo, Joshua’s Grandfather who he never met, died years before Joshua was born, so there was never really any chance than past stories and memories to make up for who he is..
Who would have known that a small city boy would have such big dreams? it’s written in the scriptures, it’s ready to be read.. I love Jesus Christ, and where he is, I wanna be.. His Love and Mercy embracing so ever gracefully!
This is my story, my rules. You can’t tell Joshua what to do, if he WANTS it, he goes for it, no questions asked. If he NEEDS it, it’s a given, he will do whatever it takes to get it. Theres a difference between your WANTS and NEEDS. Learn to differentiate the two, and you will be awarded sparingly.
The Book of Joshua starts when he is 18 years old. Fresh out of high-school, he wants to accomplish as much great things at this age, because it would have been a part of his story, which is what i’m telling you now.
It’s been a dream of mine ever since the 8th grade to start a clothing brand though.. I was 14 years old, and I already knew what I wanted to do with my life. Reasons being: I was never able to afford the clothes I desired, and when I did, it was either 3-4 main pieces of clothing that I would wear repeatedly throughout the week. Nothing more, very less is what I had. I was never Selfish or Greedy to begin with, so I just never asked for more clothes, because my parents already provided enough. My safety net I never asked for, alongside with my older siblings, my life is truly a blessing, and I need to thank God everyday for it.
Thank you Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for me, for the penalty of our sins, you took all the blame and shed your blood for us, which is what saved us. You died and rose again in 3 days. I believe in your resurrection, and I believe in your promise, Amen.
There was no way we could have gotten to you by ourselves Lord, but instead. You came down to us and gave us the option of free will to follow you or not. I’m glad I followed, and there is no turning back. My life will be evidence of your existence, and I will praise your name real and true. Because you loved first, I know how to love, too.
I remember applying for Red Rivers Graphic Design program, and we had to make a portfolio to test our skills and abilities.. I don’t remember but I think we had about 2-3 months to complete it, I tried my best.. Long story short, I didn’t get accepted, and that resulted in a manic episode, I cried for 3 days straight, but who would’ve thought that God had better plans with me, thats when i came up with “Pills Poisons & Potions.”
Ah yes, The Triple P Threat.. I designed my logo to look like a fruit, almost resembling a grape, it was one of my first official logos that I have created for myself and released to the public to view, buy, & support. I am thankful for everybody that bought and supported me when i first launched, I bought 25 hats and sold 24 in a span of 3 months, one of my first accomplishments ever. Of course, I had to keep one for myself.
Lets fast forward a bit, maybe a lot.. The end product is now “Implemonti” and that is originated from the word “implement.” It means to put an idea into action or create a new law, so I know that I hold some sort of power in my hands. But the name Implemonti means something entirely different. To me, it means “working on your passion.” Hey guys, I’m doing the Implemonti! or “I’m Implemonting right now!”
I prayed for all these things, this is where Jesus Christ comes into my story.. Before I had all these things, let me tell you what I did..
It was 3:00AM in my room, 4 dark walls, after not getting accepted into Red River College.. I stripped all my clothes, naked, I lay a towel on the floor, and I lay in a fetus position, trying to humble myself in humility before the Lord, and I prayed.. I prayed really hard, about my wants, my needs, my desires, my goals, my dreams.. I wanted God to grant me with an idea so powerful that my success would be the best revenge..
So He did..
I went from:
Pills Poisons & Poitons
to
Imp & Lemont
then
Implemont
now
Implemonti
In the span of 10 years..
thats how my business has evolved, Implemonti is what I have now, and it’s better than working for anybody else for their dreams or desires.. I am my own boss, I am my own leader, I work on my own time, I make my own rules, my own boundaries, I AM IMPLEMONTI!
Thank you Lord for blessing me with Implemonti, I know that I did not create this myself, but by the glory of your beautiful riches you have in store for anybody who asks.. You saved this idea for me to own, I almost feel chosen! Thank you God! I love you!
