what a day to say the least! :) I've never been so tired (due to lack of exercise and excess in eating everytime), but at the same time, I think it was a day wherein I've done so much :) With a few paper bills, and 5 peso coins worth 150 pesos, I prayed that I would be fine. :)

First was going to Baclaran to hear mass alone, and I'm proud of this because it was my first time to do this. I know being over twenty, it might seem like not so much, but being sheltered all my life, the fact that i commuted alone, with one heavy bag containing 9 pants and let alone, having a lot of people to make siksik, it felt pretty good inside. But most of all, maybe it was because, although everynight I would thank the Lord for my blessings, personally, I felt i needed to have my "connection" with him back again. I did not go there just to pray for my wishes to be granted but just to really say thanks. Anyway, since I was already in Baclaran, I decided to visit my grandparents since they were in a way near the church. So I bought some flowers that I could afford, and went there. Although they wanted me to stay for long, I could'nt because I already had a set time to meet joms. And when I told them I had to meet a friend, as expected, the first thing that they said was that "Wag muna boyfriend boyfriend ah!". I wanted to tell them don't worry because I might be "commitment-phobic" ;)

So I went to ride a jeep going to LRT Baclaran, and all the way to LRT Monument, as boring as it may seem, it gave me at least the chance to put down my heavy paper bag and to at least sit down. Out of boredom, from Baclaran to Monumento, it took me about less than 40 minutes. hehe. :) Since this was literally, my first time to go to monumento, I really told Joms to meet me as soon as I got to Monumento. Though I trust Joms, somehow I knew he would be late. And so he was. Anyway, as soon as he came, we went to his tailor for my pants. Thank God because the bag was absolutely killing my arm. Next stop, Lion's house. :) I must admit Lion was really nice enough to have us over for lunch considering that i only told him about that just only last night. hehe. I was even able to borrow Angel's and Demons. :)After a few hours, next stop, Megamall. :) Even if I kind of felt tired, this was the most important stop. :) Not because of more shopping, but because of Hands on Manila. :)

Since we got there early, Joms and I just window shopped. Haaay! Eventhough we were both hungry, we just kept thinking that we could save money by eating at home na lng. :( Anyway, when the orientation for Hands on Manila started, it was touching for me to see from High school students to even fathers, willing to help. :) When it was time to go home, which meant another mrt-lrt ride, it made me think how there really is still hope. :)

While Joms's stop was still a long way to go, I made my stop in Vito Cruz, since my Ate was taking up her Master's, to save me some money, i decided to wait for her instead. So here I am, typing in one of La Salle's lab, typing and at the same type, thanking the Lord for the care he has always given me esp. for today. :)
