Hence, I'm happier that day

My weekend was full packed. Half of it was mainly devoted to mentoring students. It’s satisfying when you are able to find a means to make a difficult and really intimidating subject appears sort of easy. I was happy to have seen those enlightened faces. Call it coincidence. But that day, my dose of GodWhispers read like this:

Dear Jo,

Do your due diligence. I have given you a brilliant mind. Use it. I have also given brilliant mind to others – so use their minds as well. Seek out mentors and teachers and wise guides in this journey. I have littered your world with many of them.

Your Light,
God

PS. Mentor others, too, Jo. I will send you students.

Coincidence, eh? God is always on time. And I was given a bonus. I got (another) care package from my family/relatives: Choc Nut, curly tops, flat tops, wiggle mallows, banana chips, anchovies, boy bawang, Cloud 9, and more (not in the photo). I felt I was energized 5 times! See, I’m easy to please. Just give me food. Hahaha. I mean, the right kind of edibles. :-D

And it didn’t end there. It’s amazing how they could have read my mind. No one knew that I was planning to buy Twisted 8 and 1/2 this March and I got it as a gift, heehee. While going to Sagada is still impossible at this point, my closest cousin is passing over traces of it through this sling (and she gave me a traveling bag in 2008, with the same color/material, too). And the Flip Mino HD (it can videocord for continuous 60 minutes, oddly it’s not yet available in the UAE) contains a number of captured moments of them. As I watched, I was grinning and crying (because it made me miss them) at the same time.

That day was priceless.

      I only teach for the CPA Board review (in UAE) and not on full-time basis. I have a regular office-based work:-D

      I’m not much of a softdrinks drinker. But thanks for the idea, I’ll try boy bawang and coke!

    many times, it’s those simple things we miss from back home that makes our day. but looking at your other loot, i’m considering buying a flip cam for my future trips.

      The flip video, I think, is a must for travellers. I actually bring it everyday. :)

    pahinge ng boy bawang! =)

    though i find her very cynical, i enjoy reading Zafra’s writings. and i agree with her that Sting is one of the most gifted musicians. haaay if only i could watch their concert at Meydan.

    i like your sling bag. i like anything in purple….and oh i want to visit Sagada too. hubby promised we will go next on our next Pinas vacay.

    Happy Monday, Wits!
