Whew.

I have been so tired since Thursday, which is why ( REJ :] ) I haven't been able to post much.

THURSDAY:
First day of DVBS Workers' Training. Gave Testimonial, and even though I think it was longer than the others', I believe that I was there because I had something to say, and not just there to say something, hence I don' care about the socially risque fact that I stood there yammering longer than Ading and Maam Rose. I mean, come on, I was the only one with an OUTLINE. Learned a lot, I especially loved making the ChooChoo noises. You know, Gospel Train theme and all that. Oh, and Sir Jay assigned me the 3rd day story telling. Grrr. I'd like to get him for that.

FRIDAY:
Second day of training, mostly just workshop work. Did stamping and cutting for medals, writing for song sheets, and laughing with Ambassadors. Jayvee is too cute! (Sir Uyanguren's 1-year old son, who smiles a lot especially when bespectacled people are in the room. No kidding.) Went on Visitation: 4 visits, 33 promises. Is there an amen to that??? ;) Purok Kalayaan, on the way to Trisha's, was the huge pick-up, and we proposed the place for Good News area, and were absolutely thrilled with the find. Spent last stop, at Trisha's, with chika (HOT!) over Coke, biscuits, and me having to borrow slippers because I snapped four straps of my favorite white heels since 1st year high school night on the way there. :[ NOTE TO SELF: Bury heels?

SATURDAY:
Got caught up with Papa in a meeting, so I went ahead to Margarita instead of still going to the church. There was an average of 38 :) and Kezia did the story. Workers: Nikki, Kezia, Sarah, Ate Cha, Ate Lourrie, a first for Trisha, me. I was bummed because one the kids was almost absolutely sure his mom won't let him go. I teared on the way home, and prayed hard for him. Completely wiped out from Violin practice. Ate cereals at the Breakfast Club, and helped out with refiling and refoldering the stories with, uhmm... Ate Sheila, Ate Shienmae, Ate Apol, Johnruff aka Friend, Kuya Russel, Kezia, Ate Cha.

SUNDAY:
Reached goal of 600 for the second time in a row: last week we had 620, this week we have 680!!! Praise the Lord. Fetched 4 kids from Purok Kalayaan to go to church :) It was Promotion Sunday, so there was a big shift in the Sunday School classes. Welcome new high school students to congreagation. Told her about him. Smashing performance by the choir WOOTWOOT! :) Played violin in extremely small space, is there a name for that kind of phobia? Helped with coloring the "train" for a little while before going home. Fiery preaching by Pastor on Revelations on both morning and evening.

TODAY, MONDAY:
First day of DVBS :) Got up extra early for the parade, which was thankfully less chaotic than last year, despite the kids-inside-a-rope-line-like-a-train thing. Maam Elsie gave me a light blue balloon for that, and she ddin't even know ;) Still got sufficient dose of crying, unmanageable kids. Had great time assisting for Grade 3 girls, though I still don't know their names, we still rip off masking tape from the crayon can to use, and Kuya Rommel got a picture of me on a chair pointing to the lyrics of the Happy Day Express with a pencil. Was absolutely furious with Kezia for dissing the responsibility of bringing home the kids from Purok Kalayaan back home. Waited almost 2 hours for my dad to get back from servicing another group, the reason I'm not able to offer my services. Miss the old Grade 3 girls batch. Lost my workbook; one of the PK kids brought it upstairs, and I'm not exactly sure why. NOTE TO SELF: Color coordinate, so when you end up with same colors as SOME people, you can say it isn't destiny. Bring bottled water. Get plenty of catch up sleep. I am still so drowsy, despite sleeping off half the afternoon. need Solmux, but my mom still bought Lagundi so as to "avoid allergies". Freeze at thought that my story telling stint is only 2 days away: only tomorrow to practice for it. Wore blue puffed sleeves-white0lines-at-sleeves blouse and white jumper, whcih is disastrous for DVBS, but pulled it off. Most improtantly, brought to kids to Christ, Mariela and Rose Marie. :)

Sorry for the boring, monotonous posting.
So wiped out.
Need sleep.
Remind parents to buy coffee. Ugh. I hate to admit it saves the day.
Wear green, remember to tell Kezia for coordination. Not like she would forget to ask a million times, though.
Make sure to secure who fetches the PK kids tomorrow.
