After feeling a lot better , i finally get to work. Riding a bike is really a pain in the butt both literally and the other sense. I never really liked motorcycles, but its more practical to use it now since the car is broken. Freaking steering wheel leak! Just when Im using it , its giving its most lousy performance for the record.
We get to take a lot of pictures today and it was fun. Whats better is that i get to see boy bawang today in our house. That kid is so cute, and would grow cuter as months pass. After taking her to the bus station, i just died in the couch watching dizzily over american idol singers. Man their batch this year sucks. Theres no kick to it, and it makes me wonder if theyd finally dried the poor pool out.
Im so tired.

I had a lousy day today. I knew it from the moment I woke up. I just didn’t feel like working, and then without much effort my mind thought of a billion excuses to come up with, until everything was shrugged off by my mom's tantrums this morning .heheh So I decided to work, and didn’t get back after lunch. I feel like I was run over by a pison, or whatever it’s called. Crap, they’re going to fire me. Speaking of which, I think I won’t have to worry on that. It seems that the city hall is running out of funds and cutting their costs. They decided to resort to this scheme, which is confusing, but would probably work for the JOs. They’re going to have intermittent mass lay-offs and ill be on the list at mid-March. Man, talk about a break I definitely need. I don’t have anything against work. I love working, but i just don’t fit in there. Anyway, they’ll lose another writer, and it won’t really matter on their part, I am just a JO.
I was half alive when I decided to stall this afternoon and rode at the back of a tryke. I feel like puking and complaining, and the whining continues, until I saw an old man riding his bike in the middle of the national highway. He can get himself killed by doing that! Wearing a black shirt, brown pants, old slippers, and a red hat, he drove his bike 12 noon with a huge grin on his face. He seems very happy and content. I wonder what goes around his brain, or what was he thinking. Even with all the dust and rocks floating around the road- probably getting into his mouth and eyes, he looks very happy and doesn’t seem to be complaining. And at that moment, I envied him. How can he afford to be jolly despite the fact that he’s just riding a bike, haven’t had lunch yet, and could die any moment a bus hits him.
I remember my mission. It was the only time of my life that I was happy, not that I am happy, but because I see other people being blessed and happy because of something I have given them. Then I have learned that real happiness does not necessarily come from getting something, but it is sometimes more of giving something. Its not when you think about yourself, but it’s when you think of other people before yourself. I used to remember, it would take me a full hour to pray on my bed and I would pray for my investigators one by one by their names . So the longer I stay in an area, the longer my prayers take.
I think that was the only moment in my life that I shared that bike with that old guy I saw today.

I just got home, i drove again. Lmao I feel a lot better from yesterdays attack. We didnt have worked today , and it means a long sought ticket to the couch, doing nothing but watching movies. I bought this DVD a few days ago. The coolest thing about DVDs is that you can have the whole episodes of a series in one disc. HA! I never thought that would be possible. And so i freaking bought a band of brothers DVD. Freak it was so awesome, i get to watch it minus the one week waiting that i used to do back in college when it was initially shown in HBO. It was so cool. Im beginning to be a second world warfreak again. Mike bought Call of Duty 2 and its effing awesome. Games today are getting more realistic, and that game is not even recent considering i have been away for two years. Freak its so cool. I also got company of brothers, the one Munson told me about. Freak i forgot to mention that in my mail. I havent played it yet, but ill get my hands on it soon. lmaoIts amazing how things change so rapidly even in a short time as two years. I still am trying to get the hang of s few things. It is like I learn something new everyday. Im becoming worldy on the other hand which is probably the repercussion of adjusting. lol Anyway, things have become fairly different on my part. I think I have learned to realize that i need to be practically realistic, and dismiss things that dont necessarily apply to every day normal lives. hehehe I get to read the scriptures three days straight now. Improvement!

I didnt go to church today. I had a bad case of headache. Everytime I swing my head, its like a hammer meets it on the other way. Thats prolly the result of too much driving and missing breakfast. I drove davao twice and back yesterday. Although it had a good part of me, it was well worth it. I get to see "boy bawang", and its amazing how a little kid can make your bosom burn. It feels so good to see Chinky is finally a mom. I have prayed about her my whole mission that she would get a child. I can only see it as an answered one.
I should be sleeping in a while for work, too bad there wont be any for tomorow. Lmao
I guess we have this mass we must attend to, and my sickness is a perfect timing for a good excuse. Anyway, I cant wait for law school to start. that way i can get my mind off a lot of things, and hopefully start to learn something again. For the last two years, i havent had the chance to learn something new. Well i did, but its not just the same thing.
stop.
