The usual…unusual weekend

Saturday was quite ordinary, only that my ate is not home until almost 8pm which made the day incomplete. Dinner, the world’s back to normal.

I came home with only my father and my youngest sis around. Well, technically that’s the case since my other sis is on her way to school for an exam. So I decided to cook my ‘specialty’ so to speak, since my friends and housemates commend my recipe. I asked Nene to buy me the ingredients and so the cooking came to pass.

Lunch. Nobody seemed to notice my dish. Well, at least my youngest sis dared to comment. “OK lang.”

Bale, dinner na namin yun nakain. Everybody’s home and I’m really excited to see their reactions. Mantakin mo, sabihin ba naman, “What’s this, cornstarch? How does it supposed to taste? It’s practical tasteless.” Great! Thanks a lot. My friends are addicted to this dish and now, my family—my beloved home—says they better not eat it. Oh yeah, I will not cook again! *sniff*

Well, Sunday is the most exciting day of all. Of course, it’s Church day! I love going to church, especially giving praises to the Mighty God. He’s a wonderful and loving Father. Thank you, Jesus.

At the youth fellowship, Pastor Aries led the exhortation for us. He asked me if he could share during our meeting to talk about a practical topic. He shared about responsibility or rather, how we are expected to be responsible persons. The discussion dealt mainly on students. Surprisingly, he mentioned about ‘us’ as examples. How me and my siblings made it to go on despite our father’s grave accident.

That life story can’t be contained in this single entry. But again, I can’t help but shed some tears as he was telling my group of our hard times. They should learn from us and see how privileged they are now. I wouldn’t want anyone to have the same ‘hardships’ we’ve had just to finish our degrees.

Thank God because that instance made me reminded of God’s blessing to me and my family. He’s been so good to us—allowing us to stand that storm. Thank God for His mercy.

I missed Sunday’s dinner—fell asleep, but am happy anyway. Tonight, I think I’ll have a great time watching SSCH. Haha! I can’t wait for this episode.
