ice cream
giving in to eating dove ice cream again as i write now. im having my 3rd one for today and the 4th one just inches away from me. a glassful of water ready. i am saving the last piece having chocolate ice cream covered with dark chocolate ice cream bar and hopefully no one will sneak into the box and pick it from the all the other bars.while i was hearing mass, i realized i was starving. for breakfast, i had half of a pancake [regular size]. only half because the other half fell on the floor. picked it up and said it is not pure enough for my body to tolerate. my sister ignored and "purposely left" her wendy's burger from last night. i heated it for my supposed lunch. failed to finish it, got no idea where it is now.
by the way,i made it to the assemly. im really happy i was able to bring my lolo, lola and sisters (charlotte and katrice) with me. i was proud to show them. i was proud to show them cfc and i wanted some of the close ones from cfc and sfc to meet half my family too. after that, went feeling the air at st. john's town center. gratified ourselves with several things. my lola took most of the time. i made her try the clothes. with her not-so-strong-anymore legs, i had to stay with her in the fitting room. right there, i realized how much of a lola's girl i still am even at the age of 23. it felt nice. i love my family. but there is something about my lola that has always inspired me. she has always been my protector. she taught me how to pray the rosary at age 5 or 6 and i started leading the rosary at age 7. i always got an A in religion because of her. memorizing the mysteries was never a problem. she taught me the power of prayers. i know how much she prays for me, for us 6. she influenced me a lot. she gets hurt for me even before i get hurt myself. she cries the tears for me even after mine have dried up. i know everytime it comes to me, she is vulnerable, sensitive and sentimental. in my heart, i know she spoiled me. but im not a brat definitely. she loves me well. i wish i can keep her with me forever. as long as i can, i will give her leg and foot massages. it scares me to death when the time comes that i need to let go of her. just imagining it makes me cry. im not sure how i will be able to deal with it. and i guess i got from her the beauty queen genes [she was one too 50 years ago]. i would tease her with that. she will always be beautiful to me - even if she insists otherwise.
after mass, we were heading to tinseltown to grant the cravings of my lolo and lola for chinese food. i got lost [just a little]. i called my hero [hey baby.. :) ]. i found my way. finally had some real food. again, had salmon sushi and so luckily, they have unagi sushi. i was so happy when i saw it. after we have consumed the food each of us got, we got into some conversation about how my lolo and lola came to be. it's a long story and ... it's best if my lolo tells it himself. anyway, talk talk talk. my lolo started talking to me about some scenarios. those got me thinking. oh well... then everyone wanted to go home. this time, the whole route was perfect! got home, ora mismo, everyone was doing dress rehearsal. everyone even my lolo. it was fun. the big room's mirrors suddenly were not enough. it was a show, was fun. i took stolen pics of my lolo and lola while they were talking. things to keep when they leave for home in may. sniff... it was a great day, really really...
lord, i give you my heart, i give you my soul... these words are stuck in my head. played the radio while driving but i was singing those lines. thank you Lord for letting me come to the adoration earlier. you're really nice. :)
i knew the wind was - again, a little chilly but for some reason, i was able to withstand it. not fight it but tolerate it. i felt it blow kisses my way. it was a great day. the sun did not hurt my eyes today, instead kissed my face. the wind liked my skirt by the way.
oh i got to finish my 4th dove ice cream before i realize it's all too much for me now. my shoulder does not hurt anymore. my eyes are better. badly needing a rest day. i need a hug too...
... once in this lifetime
