Stuff done

Don't you hate it when the new kids ask you what kind of "stuffs" do you have? It's like I'm tending "sheeps" or feeding the "fishes."

Anyway:

1. School bus duties resumed today for me. Woke up (again) at 5:00 a.m. to take Bea to school at around 6:00 a.m. Starting next week, I will really be a bus driver as I will also take Nico to his pre-school at 8:00 a.m.

2. Reported to my consultancy and found out our outing/planning session will not push through. There goes the only chance I had for a vacation this year.

3. Toured TriNoma (again). Still not 100% open but I had a fantastic meal at Brothers Burger. Now that's what I call a hamburger and fries! Ooohhh, man-size!

4. Met a friend for some company.

5. Hung around my lawyer-friend's office to see if there's some election work left to be done...

6. Went to the bookstore to buy some last minute school supplies for Bea. Those lines are long! And those water color pencils are so darn expensive!

7. Went to UP Shopping Center for some photocopying needs. With cheap xerox rates and a post office nearby, it's the ideal place where I prepare and mail my pleadings.

8. Got home and tended to my children. They're apparently resting now.

9. Trying to cap the day with blogging, watching TV and practicing Clarry (my clarinet).

I imagine my day tomorrow will be more of the same since they blew my last chance at a vacation....

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.
