Nearer than I think

I got my hands on a Japanese Nintendo Wii yesterday but I decided just to unload it or swap it for a PSP. I surfed the net and found out the menus are all Japanese and there is no English language option. So I'm going to have a hard time with it (even if I have a minor degree in Japanese studies, because my Nipponggo is already rusty).

Anyway, we were at our neighborhood Mac store yesterday and my new MacBook Pro is closer that I think. It could be as close as Monday... I'm so excited already.

So it will be on keyboards at tonight's mass. The main gripe I have with that is all the equipment I will have to haul to the chapel: the keyboard, the amp, the keyboard stand, the music stand and the accessories. And I think it will take more time to set them up than the actual practice and mass combined. Then I have take them all down, pack them and set it up again at home.

But then again, it's service for the Lord, so there's no reason to complain. Maybe the new MacBook Pro is the reward... just thinking aloud.

Tomorrow may take me to Greenhills again... as a cousin from Canada wants to go there... Hopefully, I can consummate the swap/sale of the Nintendo Wiis we got...

So a new PSP and perhaps a new MacBook Pro may be closer than I think...

Have a great weekend, everyone!

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.
