THURSDAY – April 5, 2007

I'm uploading additional pictures under April pics!!! It came in late because it was from charlie's phone and he still has to download it… anywayz, those are pics with the fam, mostly with tephie after Passover night. We had dinner here at home and tephie was just so active and smiley that we decided to capture those moments.  I taught tephie last Friday night how to smile with a wrinkled nose.. lol.. actually i was not planning on teaching her to do that but apparently, i was trying to catch her attention with me smiling with a wrinkled nose and boom! that was her signature smile already since then.. LOL … (sorryyy didnt mean to….) but she's sooooo cute!!!

anywayz, today was great!! awesome!! happy!! satisfying!!

i woke up, did a 5:30 am walk/jog (it was soo good to do it again after a long time… i can tell my body was needing it already) lol.. i felt great!!! it's a cure for depression and moodiness.. lol and after that, spent an hour on the rooftop studying, meditating and praying. i tell you, it's a very good way to start a day!

after that, ate breakfast…. and then tephie and isis arrived with charlie but charlie needs to work so they spent the rest of the day with us!! so that was really nice! :-)

and then, i need to prepare lunch for the office… made chicken afritada… the office staff loved it, so they said :-)

and then, went with mom to the mall, actually we were supposed to go to SM but we didnt know that SM would be closed. so we just proceeded to the NCCC mall. we need to do groceries since the malls will be closed for lenten season and you wouldnt believe it, we were standing in line at the counter for 1.5 hours!!! IT WAS SUCH A LOOOONG LINE!!!! (but i think that was a test on patience) we have no other choice since all the other counters have longer lines than ours. i just thought of the cashier lady on how she was doing… all that work and people! i know its a pretty tiring job so when it came our turn, i started up a conversation with her and let her know we appreciated all the diligence she's been doing so that was good. i saw her face lighten up.

anywayz, we were invited by mr. baker for dinner at the "KRUA THAI" restaurant. it was a very pleasant time. it was with the family and all the office staff… it was like a thank you dinner for all the work that has been done. so that was nice.

my dad, danny and mr baker went to visit jed at the jail. they spent 3 hours there talking with jed. she really appreciated the visit. i know how they would feel after talking to her since i've talked to her too… you can see the joy and renewed zeal in her and how eager she is to get the word out… about how we should not take for granted the knowledge and the calling we now have and that we have to act on it… to make GOD ever real to you… fearing Him in all obedience and faith… she truly has passion and you can get a shot of spiritual zeal. thats how talking to her made me feel. she's writing an article "joy behind bars". i cannot wait to read it.

anywyz, thats the latest thats been going on…. i miss david still. actually it's our 6th monthiversary right now… :-) october 5- april 5. it looks like a short time but it feels like a very long time already :-) i can't wait for us to be back together again!!!!
