FREE AT LAST!

Praise and Thank God today!


Yes, at last, I am now free from the 'oppressing' (hehe) school requirements.  I just typed in the last period on the last page of my paper. But you know, being the procrastinator that I am, I needed a few people to push me to do what I have to do, so this entry is in appreciation of those dear ones who gave their time to help me in any way they can.

I thank God for UB and AJ for helping me conceptualize my Gospel Tract. 

I thank God for sending my sis Daphne over to my home.  She came to take a much needed break (after a busy semester at Trinity in Singapore--busy nga ba sis? hehe) but unknown to me or Daph, God sent me an angel in her person to help me (as in doing the chores for me: i.e. washing the plates, cleaning up, cooking, making coffee, typing my papers when I had to write them by pen because we were occassioned by too many power blackouts one day, giving me ideas and aswering me when I go, "Ano na nga ba ang English ng....?") Thanks sis for encouraging me to focus, and of course for accompanying me to do my 30-minute walks. 


You'd ask, "where's Bong in all these?" Well, he's around being patient with me. Thanks also to you Best, for being there, as always.  

Gratitude is also due Sarah and Jean.  Sara, for running around in Manila in a not-feeling-well condition to look for a colored printer and an appropriate paper to print my gospel tract, and for printing all 30-pages or so of my paper. Jean, for receiving my documents in skype and finally running to AGS against the clock to  turn  in my papers. 


Thanks also to the people who prayed for me while I was working. 't Mel, Norms, t Dymer, 'te Medz, Insan Hil and all the others.

Thanks also to Kassie for doing my other chores. :)

I owe you all heaps!

Love to you,
M

Since we are a no-thank-you culture, that was one way of saying thank you also for all that you've done for me :-)

of big shoes and lessons

April 2001 I woke up early this morning and went straight to doing my weekend chores...like hanging a two-week worth of laundry under the sun (before the sun is up), afterwhich I went back to bed to do some reading. Three hours later, my mom came and said, "Men ina-no? Ollaw law!" (Are you ready? We're about to leave!") I was confused for a moment then I realized it's the first Saturday of the month and I need to be somewhere to teach. It totally slipped my mind as my mind was still all over the place from Xami's stay in the hospital and then traveling right after it and coming home again. I changed and put my things in my backpack and was gonna put on my shoes only to realize I don't have any appropriate shoes. I asked the hubby if I can try one of his and a pair looked not so bad as the others. So off we went with me looking like I have boats attached to my feet rather than shoes. I used the lesson that I prepared for a women's conferenc

ADDICTIONS

My addictions are weird but I think these are not unique to me.  I have three addictions and I am very glad that I have overcome one of them, at least for now.   #SUGAR_ADDICT  Over a month ago, I was probably one of the worst sugar/carb addict there is.  Since I was diagnosed with diabetes almost three decades ago, I went into a rollercoaster of dieting and fasting and binge eating.  I would weigh myself, get disgusted with what I see and resolve to eat nothing for a week. I would lose 10kg, then the following week, I would eat all the calories that I restricted myself from and more.  Then in April of last year I tried the ketogenic diet and it was working for a month or so until an aunt commented that I will get all wrinkly and saggy if I lose too much weight and my mind used that statement as an excuse to go back to my standard way of eating which has always left me feeling and looking bloated, inflamed, fat, and ugly.  It also aggravated all my health issues specially w
