What a tiring week

Whew, at last sa wakas tapos narin. This week has been a tiring one. We had the first quarter tests Monday and Tuesday then the haggard planning and communicating for the music ministry seminar and altar server seminar. Then on the day itself, the seminar I was't able to grasp all the wisdom that Father Marcs shared because of the policing of the students. Adding to it a body lacking sleep (I slept 2 am to prepare the ppt of the mass songs), a heart of disappointments and the worry brought about by Jo$ep G.u#@n"$o bullying my mother. I'm looking forward to a week of rest before i'll do again my chores, checking the papers and preparing the lesson plans.Not to mention the preparations needed for the recollection and the pastoral planning for the CLE Dept.

How stressful. But no, with the inspiration by people who are full of zeal ad passion in their decision to follow Christ, not only is my faith strengthened but my body as well. Fr. Marcs is so inspiring with his patience and selflessness to share his knowledge, talent and love of God. This morning when we had the prayer service for the Quinio family (the August 25, 2010 accident in Sablan, Benguet), I am challenged more to never tire in the service for the love of God through the sharing/testimonies of memories with the departed family. They were active in their prayer group in Florida, their kindness and simplicity.

A lot of work is still needed and plans having to be put into action for the Spirituality of the Josean students. But with God as my strength, leading and provider, all will be well and good. God's will be done.

To Tonchingwa and Molly

Still feeling devastated over the death of two of our dogs, Tonchingwa (2 years old) and Molly (not even a year old). I feel sad because they bring joy and energy after a day's tiring work. Tonchingwa can bark as loud as he can but knows how to control his volume when inside the house. Molly's black and brown shade makes him look like an "anito" (ghost). And these two dogs' got personality.

At first, we thought they were just suffering a simple illness but we were wrong. I feel so regretful and I wish I could bring back time. Because of our busy schedule, we weren't able to notice the symptoms and the silent clues of their suffering. I regret over my neglect also on my part. How I wish I could have spent more time with them before they died. I feel more sadness when it comes to my mind the memories I had with these two "man's best friend". I will surely miss them.

Maybe the wisdom that I can share about this happening is the willingness to sacrifice quality time over a love one, a passion or anything that helps one grow. This time I learned my lesson also not to be mindless of the slight changes in behavior of our pets (and much more of humans) so that anything wrong will still be given the time to heal or correct it. This calls for sensitivity to others (not only of pets but much more on our human relationships). For we don't know, the symptoms that something's wrong maybe already under our nose but we just refuse to notice it. Haaay...Tonchigwa and Molly taught me a lesson I will never forget.

Goodbye July, Hello August

Been busy for the past days playing errr...facebook games heh he...
Now it's time to be back to reality. August hopefully will be a more fruitful month (and the coming months to come). Now I'm pondering on the thought of doing a sideline through data entry. I wish i could learn more about it and have a project soon to supplement my income.

I wish also I could start painting again, playing music  and be on the fast track to accomplish my piano lessons...
