This day in history from:

A Long Short Day

Or is it a short long day?...

The day started with some work over by Manila City Hall, as I accompanied a client for a filing. That ended early, at around 10:00 a.m. So it was time for brunch (since I did not have breakfast to make it there on time).

Then, I arrived at the venue of my second meeting at around lunchtime, but the meeting was set for 4:00 p.m. So I just killed time on the net, using somebody else's computer. I could not accompany Nico to school today.

Will all the time to kill, I discovered HappySlip on YouTube. No need to elaborate, as I may be the last person on earth to discover her... Man! What a looker! And then she sings and plays the piano too... an irresistible combination for me...

Then, I discovered the meeting was called off because the person I was supposed to meet simply forgot about it... so that meeting will be reset to tomorrow afternoon, which will be another long day (I have multiple things in my PDA tomorrow.) But I ended up staying until around 7:00 p.m.

So when I got home, I did not catch Nico anymore, as he was already asleep. Bea was waiting for me because she needed some help with her homework. That took until around 8:30...

Then it was back to surfing again... on Scarlett... until I remembered to post an entry for today...

Anyway, tomorrow is another full day (I think I mentioned this already). And there's choir tomorrow, instead of Saturday...

Hope next week is better than this one...

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
