I PASSED MY COMPRE!
woohoo!
what a relief!! i'm so glad that i don't have to redo any portion!
thank you! thank you! thank you to all of you who prayed for me and prayed over me and to those who had more faith in me than i did in myself.
you can all just call me MASTER from now on. hahaha!

my first
lactobacili shirota strain. yakult. i had my first bottle today (thanks to a pre-schooler's loot bag) and guess what... i actually like it!
who would've thunk it?! :)
now i understand why my nieces drink so much of it. gosh, i have so much catching up to do! hahaha!
here's my disclaimer: just because i tried my first yakult does not mean, in any way, that i will EVER eat ampalaya (bitter gourd) or dinuguan (what my dad would explain to our foreigner guests as "chocolate meat." hehehe).

time well spent
i have always been a believer in sharing. after all, all we have belongs to God and we are merely stewards of what He "lent" us.
in the wake of the leyte landslide tragedy, several calls for donations came out and are still coming out. i never realized the extent of the destruction until i saw the pictures. when things like that happen, you pray... and you stir. i have to do something!
it was very apt that at around the same time, the first reading from the bible was about sharing with the less fortunate. i was convicted. i had neither money nor old clothes to give. then i realized that what i DID have was time... time to forward emails for a drive collecting relief goods, and today, time to volunteer in the relief center.
i worked for 2 hours, but it sure was 2 hours well-spent. together with 6 other "young" volunteers, we sorted sacks and sacks of clothes into male, female, children, and rejects. the activity made me see a whole genre of clothes, not to mention material (gabardine, spandex, wool...). it was hard work. it was tiring. but it was also a lot of fun and fulfilling.
there's a lot more that needs to be done. there are mountains of clothes waiting to be sorted. inside the building (we were outside), more packing was being done. i'd be more than glad to do it again. :)
so, if you're free and able, why not pitch in?
