on stewardship and monday mornings

 

i had to bring the laundry to mister labada today, it was awful. i had to carry an almost 7kg of soiled clothes and have someone clean it for me and maldita ayo ang gal who weighs the laundry. grr. i do not have anything good to talk about cuz the cashier from the pastry shop near our place ruined my day. i queued, i asked for fresh lumpia(lumpia from a pastry shop for breakfast?), i got a chocolait from their fridge and asked for a couple of eclairs, then after a 5 minute wait she told moi she cannot sell them cuz she doesn't have change. i muttered: magsara nalang kayo.
the sales assistants here really have attitude, and usually am not up for a verbal combat whenever am at the mall. under my breath i would just utter maldita then walk away. hay.

i've been wearing the same shirt i've worn since saturday, the gals from the dorm and moi had coffee at bo's sorento, sobrang pointless if you'd be out here, the coffee shops would close at midnyt or at 2am. eiwan. then i went to church wearing the same fenk shirt, then had dinner with jerjer and his childhood buddies in that same shirt, slept in it,then went out to buy breakfast without changing. it's letting go BIG TIME. i wouldn't try this back home. hehe.

today, i've an exam to pass. gawd, i've been bombing every technical exams we have.

i'm getting used to the fact that almost everyone speaks ilonggo, now, my tongue is getting the fluidity of the language, after all it's really a huge part of moi, and i've to learn speaking it really well. i'll make my mita proud. ha!

i just saw that ppl here would go for their own ppl, patronize their own restaurants, buy from the homegrown cake shoppes, and they have tubo and copras and bangrusan(???) every where, and they piko and pala their money(hoe and shovel) but, they bulldoze their debts. haha. ;)
ilove how closely knitted they are to their family and how they have to spend the weekends committed to spending it with their folks and siblings. it's soooo much like being in gensan, no more like being in marbel or surallah, where you can take a striker and tell him to take you to the old house, to the house on the uma, to the tindahan and they'd know.

it's beginning to be home. i guess. ha. ;)
but, i still feel newness in everything, parang nangangapa. masaya na kahit pano. pero paksit ako sweldo come pay day cuz am paying the downpayment for the pad. maaaaan, it's 11k almost! murag nipalit ko'g mobile phone, irits.

and i've to buy a mattress and stuff for the house such as a rice cooker. hay..... grover. makapulubi. am not moving into another city in the next 2 years. iswear. ('tik lang)....

dichee will have the baby this month. am excited. no, that's an understatement. but, NATHANIEL BARTIN, tita raen knows you'll be healthy and you'll be beautiful like that.

i don't wanna go to work. why would some ppl from work be concerned about me marrying a good guy. for pete's sake, i will marry and i will marry rich and die richer. haha.


oh, yesterday, at church, the talk was about stewardship---that us and Him are partners, He is still the owner however, we would work together, that moi should take care of wut He asked moi to manage, such as my body---that moi should quit lighting a cigarette and do yoga. hahaha. and tithing---- that i've to get used to living on the 90% of my income and the tenth belongs to Him, He was wise enuf to ask for the tenth because it doesn't seem too minimal to be insignificant but, does not seem to be too taxing for us..... and once again, You speak it sooo clearly Lord.

hugs cebu.


oh, am moving on october 1. my pad is empty. ampooocha. but, yehey parin. masundo gyapon ko sako schoolbus.haha. ;)

You go from dream to dream inside me. You have passage to my last shabby corner, and there, among the debris, you've found life. I'm no longer sure which of all the words, images, dreams or ghosts are "yours" and which are "mine." It's past sorting out. We're both being someone new now, someone incredible...
