TEN DAYS.

That’s how long it has been since I last logged in. I just let my “all or nothing” trait kick in once again.

It feels weird expressing myself using a laptop with a different color, different wallpaper, different feel on the fingertips, you know? It’s just…. different…and it’s been a real struggle to go online this past week. More so to sit and stare at the screen…and having to think of something to say. All of a sudden I feel like I’m talking to a stranger! (Which, I realize….I do talk to strangers here!…Who end up as friends. *wink* …naaakss!)

Anyway, here I am again. I am forcing myself to stay online and write, simply because TEN is such a perfect number to use for the intro! LOL! Nine would be…bitin (what’s “bitin” in English for our English-speaking friends??)…Eleven would be….just not right. So, yeah…I HAVE to post this TODAY!!! (I’m shallow this way. Tsk.)

Okay, time for an update.

Oh, the past few days of being absent from the online world have been so exciting!!! It’s such a shame that I wasn’t able to update you as soon as the events transpired, but I think God also allowed me to lose my computer so I can better enjoy my time with family and friends without having to think or work on anything else. You see, February is a special month for our family. It is one of our most celebrated months every year! Aside from Valentine’s Day, which we all love to celebrate since we couldn’t get enough of Manila’s traffic and the cheesiness of the decorations in restaurants and hotels, not to mention the overpriced menu these places have to offer (Uh-huh. I’m bitter at the hotels who up their buffet prices. Don’t they know there’s one hungry and craving momma here who can’t afford price hikes?!!?!!?!?!?)…Now, where was I?? Ah…aside from V-Day, February happens to be the month where the birthdays of both of my girls fall, and also the month we got married! Yihee! And it’s so convenient that they are all just a few days apart, too!   That translates to savings for us— Only one party needed, and it’s so worth it to go out of town. And that’s exactly what we did for this year—we had a party for the girls a few days earlier and we went to Bacolod to celebrate both of their birthdays and our anniversary as a family. I’d probably be writing something about our trip in a few days (*fingers crossed*), and maybe even about the party….we’ll see. Dennis needs to use the laptop already (As in he’s literally behind my back asking to use it). He still needs to prepare a lot of messages, since he said yes to a LOT of speaking engagements this month. Which, by the way, he just assumed that I’d be as bold as he is and he gladly suggested that we do a tag-team type of preaching for all these speaking engagements. In short, he just made this February an even more…..”exciting” (read: nerve-wracking) month for me. The other night we were part of a panel for a valentine special, and earlier tonight we just gave a talk to college students in UP Diliman (Side note: I loved the energy of those young people!). Tomorrow we will be speaking to young professionals. I am praying it goes well, too. Pray with me, please??

Okay, time’s up! I’m not even sure if I made any sense in this post, but I really just want to post something while I can still use “TEN days”.

Seriously.
