grabe! super init dito ngayon!!! earlier the thermometer in my car read “114 F” as temperature outside. yikes! actually, it’s not just a hot saturday, it’s been a hot week. we are still under heat advisory until 7 pm. ang sama eh, this is just the first week of summer for us. kung over 100 na yung temp ngayon beginning of summer, how high kaya will it go at the peak of summer? i don’t even want to think about it.
it’s a quiet weekend for me. walang set activities except for the leadership seminar at church this morning. i told ann before that i probably won’t attend the seminar today kasi wala naman live na speaker, we’re watching a dvd. but i’m glad i decided to attend. dr. howard hendricks is really good. as i was watching and taking notes kanina, i was thinking… why am i even attending these leadership seminars? why did i even study christian leadership? hindi naman kasi ako naghahangad na maging leader sa church. plus i really see myself more as a manager than leader. part of prof. hendricks’ lecture kanina eh yung difference ng leader and manager. i remember back when i was in criswell, one of my prof taught us that too and even at that time, i fit the manager’s description more than the leader’s description. the thing is, wala naman kasing sumusunod sa akin. kung ikaw ay leader, kailangan may followers ka. anyway, i’ll be praying about it. i’m sure may reason si Lord kung bakit i’m being exposed to all these leadership trainings.
while eating my lunch i was sort of playing with jubilee. she’s so cute and smart
she even asked “are you happy to see me?” in her sweet voice. kakatuwa talaga. anyway, someone commented that i’m really good with kids. that’s actually a comment i’ve heard a lot lately. i love kids. i enjoy playing with them. and i’m glad they like me too, hahaha…. anyway, today someone asked if i ever considered teaching the praise chorister (which is our kids choir, kindergarten to 3rd grade). na-shock naman ako. ako, teaching choir? ok lang siya? i know i love to sing. and i know i love kids. pero as i told the person, playing with kids and teaching kids to sing are two very different things. tsaka, ano naman ang alam ko sa music? mahilig lang akong kumanta, pero no formal training whatsoever sa music. eh sa english choir nga eh, hirap rin ako sa counting ng beats and sa pagkanta ng tama. tsaka, i’m not a good teacher rin naman. standing in front of a bunch of kids scares me to death, ok, maybe not to death, but you know what i mean. magaling lang talaga akong makipaglaro sa bata. kasi siguro i don’t mind making a fool of myself mapatawa or mapa-smile ko lang yung bata. kids, they’re just so cute!
i’ve been meaning to go to mardel (christian bookstore) pero every time i think of it, it’s either wednesday (when they close early) or sunday (they’re closed). and since wala naman akong agenda today, i went there. i love going there kasi they have several shelves of bargain books. from 50-90% discount. i mean, how can you not buy a book that’s like $1.25? kaya ayun, napabili na naman ako
kahit na i still have books at home na i haven’t read. heehehee…. and since i’m in that area na, i stopped by spoonfull to get my fro-yo fix. spoonfull is really low on my fro-yo place to go to kasi yung mga flavored fro-yo nila, di ko type, di masarap (too sweet). i only like their plain tart. but it’s right there and it’s extremely hot outside, so i went to get some
tapos nandoon na rin naman yung chinese grocery, eh di stop by na rin. as i was shopping i was thinking of what to cook for lunch this week and wala akong maisip. i’m so tamad to cook and believe it or not, tamad to eat. well, more like walang gana kumain, kasi nga ubod ng init!!!! all i want to do is drink cold drinks.
nothing planned for tomorrow either. just the usual, actually minus choir practice in the morning, so most likely i’ll be late for the worship service
maybe i should start working on my own scrapbook. i have the supplies na naman, pero di ko lang talagang maumpisahan. it’s my travel scrapbook. not that i’ve traveled a whole lot. pero i did keep the brochures/tickets/etc. from the several places i’ve been to.
oh, i’m not too stressed at work anymore. medyo nag settle down na. oh wait, may deadline na naman pala next week. tapos ang sama eh yung mga taong involved doon sa project ay out of town. naku po! pero ok lang yan, kung nakayanan namin dati, kakayanin namin ulit ngayon. Lord, help me please… thank God for email. at least they’ll still be reachable.
sayang tapos na yung “boystown”, wala na akong papanoorin sa sunday. i still can’t believe that the actor/actress playing the roles of parents to these teenagers are people my age - ana roces, romnick sarmienta. yung mga teenage actors dati, parents na ngayon. ngek! but then as a friend of mine said nga, kami lang naman daw ang hindi pa nag-aasawa, yung mga ka-age namin nagsi-pag-asawa na at may mga anak na. true that.
oh, i didn’t make kwento yet. i went to visit the lorilla family last saturday. at long last!!! grabe ha, we figured it’s been more than a year since i last visited them. bad haidee! (shakes head). there have been so many changes in that family, pero, they’re still so much fun to hang out with, as always
tito cards was happy to see their ‘eldest daughter’ in dallas, heeheehee…. i told them i won’t wait another year to visit. sana kasi they live closer eh. nagreklamo pa eh, hahaha….
i’ve uploaded pictures on my facebook that are UECP related. i think what made me decide to do that was me getting feedbacks from college friends who are thankful for the pictures “college days” i posted on fb. kaya naisip ko, i’ll post pictures from UECP naman since UECP has been such a big part of my life. tsaka tamang-tama rin it’s UECP 80th anniversary this year. i already got good feedbacks. pero i’m not sure if i should keep tagging people kasi some people might not want their friends now to see what they look like then. but then again, they’re free to ‘un-tag’ themselves naman eh
okay, enough blogging. now on to reading…..
