Since today is 'bonifacio day', a holiday, so it means-- "there's no classes" :'). But not only that, today is also the anniversary of the 'typhoon reming'. It has been a year since that disastrous typhoon had struck the bicol region; almost 2months (some had even experienced a year) that there had not been an electricity all over the region, all power supply had been cut. We've experienced (for the first time) to have a 'blackout on Christmas day'. It has been truly a silent night that Christmas eve. But, actually, that had been one of the most remarkable Christmas eves that I've experienced. The moon was on its 'full mode', and the sky was very clear that night! It was very very amazing. . . Reminiscing the night that the Child was born in a manger. I've gazed at the stars and the full moon almost the whole night alone at the porch until after midnight, realizing how blessed i am and how thankful i should be even at that terrible situation compared to what The Baby had experienced. With all the tears, I kept saying 'it's amazing'. It's really marvelous to imagine that God has been with us through Jesus Christ. I remember the phrase 'He was God walking the earth in sandals'. It's indeed 'a miracle'. When the world is in need of a Baby to light the it with love, God sent His only begotten Son. (from the song 'Who would send a baby').
So, that was a bit of the moments during the Christmas eve after the typhoon reming.
Back to this day, it was really cold, like having the 'wintry feeling'. The coldness of the day was really different compared to any other month i think. I was practicing this afternoon, but it's just really hard to make a 'quality practice'. I had this hyperhydrosis that makes my hands excrete excessive perspiration whenever i am nervous or most of the time, it's being out of my control that even ordinary days it gets wet. They say it's 'pasmado', but it's actually a disease. Whenever my hands get wet, they have 'open pores', so, the coldness of the wind can actually go inside them. my hands get the frozen feeling and it was already hard to play. But thank God for this holiday. . . a chance for more time of practice.
Anyway, the whole day was really a blessing. Eventhough, i or we don't actually deserved those blessings from God, it's really amazing to know that God's grace aboundeth still. I had a wonderful dinner fellowship outside with my family this evening.
And, lately this evening, we had a wonderful phone conversation with papa kirby and mam pat (my foster parents). It's a blessing to know that there are people who are constantly praying for you on the other side of the globe. mam pat told me about this 'holocaust' wherein 6million Jews where being killed way back 1940 by the germans. I havn't heard of it before, so she told me to research about it and this christian lady named Corrie Tenboom, who has hid some of the jews inside her house (i think in the basement or underground) just to save them from the Germans. She told me that all the names of those 6million people were being written in the walls inside a museum in Washington. That was amazing. We talked about some things about Filipinos and she told me that almost all of the personal staffs of Pres.Bush were filipinos. It was confusing, because Mr.Bush can actually hire Americans, but mam pat said that, 'that's how they trust filipinos' Wow. :)
Well, once again, thank you for the time you've spent in reading my post. :)
That's all for now.:)
Something to ponder:
"The way you deal with your struggles, depends on how you view them. Always remember: there are no hopeless situations, but only people who think hopelessly."
Verse for the day:
"The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness." Proverbs 11:5
