Punzi's Corner Blog: Intoxication

This day in history from:

Intoxication

So I was in a foul mood yesterday. And it seems watching a movie (if you really must know, it was "One True Love," okay?) did the trick. Watching Marian Rivera may have been the cause (of feeling better).

For today, I'm doing a favor for a cousin from Canada. And I did the same favor for one of our lawyers, as I went to our new office for a partners meeting.

They are still painting and the fumes are... tolerable for my standards because I'm used to living around a renovation (my father's an architect, remember?). But I have to admit, I cannot stand a long day there as long as the fumes are still there.

And we still don't have phones and internet there. I had to lend the office my landline sim so the office would have some semblance of a landline.

Anyway, I never knew I was that intoxicated until I left the office and headed home. I was so groggy I missed a turn coming home and I had to double back. Lost my concentration there for a second.

And my foot is acting up again...

I also had to miss a birthday dinner-treat of a colleague tonight.

Oh well. Tomorrow is another day...

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.
