One twenty nine of eleven, twenty three thirty. Almost midnight.
It was already nine o’clock in the evening when we ate our dinner. I got hooked with “Kingdom Connection” design and almost forgot to eat. Dennis was just waiting for me while his eyes were fixed on Erika. Oh, what? Who’s that girl? Don’t be silly. She’s just a kid with a problem in the liver. Good thing she’s already safe, thanks to her tito Jeff who donated a part of his liver. By the way, they are the ones being interviewed by Jessica Soho in GMA 7 show, Kapuso mo Jessica Soho. Today is Saturday, sorry I forgot to mention.
I finished the design after almost three hours of “titigan game” with my PC and “pindutan stuff” with her pet mouse. I even needed my right point finger to be massaged after that.
Anyway, it will be better maybe if I’ll start from the beginning. It feels like I’m telling a story in a backhand stroke.
I woke up around five thirty in the morning but I got up around eight. Why? It’s Saturday, remember? So there, first thing first of course. I’ve gone into the comfort room and did my morning stuff. Then I went back to my room and got my morning bestfriends – journal, pen and His love letter. How sweet, isn’t it?
I was done with it around nine. Then I prepared my coffee.. oh, did I eat something? I can’t remember. Haha!
I looked on the wall, I had to see if there’s lizard.. and gotcha! I saw the clock. I remember my friend ABS-CBN will let me watch Toy Story II by ten in the morning. But then I remembered my morning whisper, “Please help me spend this day right.” So, what do you expect? Of course I continued watching. Haha, just kidding.
I opened Dennis’ room, looked for his basket and there you go.. it’s full. I checked mine and though it’s quite half-full, I know I still have to wrestle with them.. and even with Dennis'. I'm such a loving sister, don't you think? Haha. And so I let my robot “washing machine” drink his weekly vitamins.. and ooops, he almost threw it. Then I fed him with so many clothes. I knew he would love it.
Around one thirty in the afternoon, I was still fascinated with KC [ Kingdom Connection ]. I didn’t know how to start. Good thing I’ve drawn a sketch, nice one for a scratch.
It was four o’clock when my robot finished it all. Then afterwards, I had to clean the whole house all by myself. This time I have no robot. Sad :(
Five o’clock tic-tac-toe. I sat down for a while, then moved into the bath room and took a nap there. No, it’s just a joke. I took a bath of course. Six o’clock, Dennis came home with lots of chocolates. He doesn’t really love me, does he? it’s not that I hate chocolates. I just don’t eat much. Oftentimes, one bite is enough. This time I’m not joking so please believe me. But oh, I love kitkat.. you know, “just have a break.”
And so six o’clock onwards you already know what happened.
Now it’s midnight. When my clock ticked ten, I knew I had to sleep. But I can’t. So I’ve decided to check my facebook. I did a random visit to some of my friends’ account. And then “SIGH-yang” came across. You know it? Yeah, it’s a note from a pastor friend, Ptr.Calvin Cuevas [name is linked]. The title’s cute, huh? But man, the content was so profound. You’ve got to read it yourself. It was so simple yet it’s indeed a BIG REMINDER.
Remember my morning whisper? “Help me spend this day right.” Sigh. This day had passed. Tomorrow, this day will just be a yesterday that can never be lived on again.
Question: Have I spent it right?
In life, whatever is done can never be undone.
The note says,
“May mga bagay pala talagang pagsisisihan tayo.. at kahit anung gusto nating ibalik ang oras para itama ang mali....sadly, HINDI NA PWEDE.”
“Never waste TIME”.
“Seize the day”.
“Grab great opportunities.”
“Be open for change.”
“Umiwas sa regrets.
“We are TIME STEWARDS”.
I don’t want to waste my time. Tomorrow I might die. Every moment I’ll wake up is also another chance to die. THAT’S LIFE. I might go out of this house alive and come back, dead. I’LL NEVER KNOW.
Just like Ananias and Sapphira, death can be very very sudden. WORSE, it will come in the moment you’re doing nothing. And WORST, it will come in the moment you’re sinning.
Just a copy-paste from His love letter. [and it was also copy-pasted in the note]
“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” –Psalm 90:12, ESV
Question: Have you spent this day right? And if you are yet to begin it, will you choose to spend it God’s way? Come on, YOU’LL NEVER KNOW. Later, death may just come beside you. Morbid as it is, but a REALITY, as it is.
HAVE A PURPOSEFUL DAY, FELLA!
