Visited by Two Friends/"Song in My Heart"

Today, Noel and Rica visited me. They brought cake and bread. Rica gave a gift.

Noel ordered Shakey's Pizza - one large Manager's Choice thin crust. We got a free Pepperoni pizza with Coke Zero.

We talked about common friends, work, love life, health, etc.

Last night, Jobert and I did something different. We wrote a poem by texting lines to each other. Below is the finished product, entitled, "Song in My Heart" [blue lines by Jobert, purple lines by me]

A melody of love I could hear in my heart
A love so beautiful from the very start
The harmony of affection that we share
The symphony between us showing that we care

Notes that sing loving tunes of high and low
With lyrics that express deep feelings that we know
Sweet melodic sounds of kindness pleasing to the soul
Words of gentleness soothing to us all

For love is a chorus that praises all that is good
Love is a constant refrain regardless of mood
Stanzas that blend the poetry of an artist’s love
This never-ending song could come only from above

What can you say?

Exploring

Worked on two reports today. Finished the topline report because it was so simple. The other one is taking more time because I have to learn more about Excel in Vista.

Had two visitors, former Maryknollers - Maitet who is based in Singapore, and Beda who is working for UP Kalasag. They brought delicious pancit from Little Quiapo.

Exploring my dream of a building....virtual first, then reality. In God's time.

Facing a Report, Facing Visitors

Today I began the task of redoing another person's report. Quite difficult so I asked a friend to help me do it.

I also faced three visitors today, members of the Charismatic Community I belong to, Light of Jesus. We had fun reminiscing, catching up with what's currently happening to our personal and community lives, and looking forward to an exciting future.

Discussed my book with the editor of Shepherd's Voice Publications. Would have to shoulder the printing, marketing, and editing costs after all. Well, might as well, look at it as an investment, a very good one.

Sleepy already...Nimia Gamo, signing off.

An Interesting Day

I'm running out of adjectives to describe my days because they are all so nice despite ...

I was very early at the hospital today kasi fasting was necessary for my blood tests. I got to violate my diet and ate tapsilog at the canteen.

It's a good thing my doctor allowed me to go home instead of making me see her in the afternoon.

I spent again a lot of time in front of the computer.

I talked to friends over the phone.

My assistant came over and helped me with a report.

Two friends visited. One brought pancit and drinks.

The other asked help in writing a letter to some people who wronged her.

I'm excited about my song, "Mahirap Maging Mahirap" because my friends like it. It's so funny.
I hope it gets to YouTube. Then I'll post it here and in Facebook. Who knows? It might even get recorded.

Meanwhile, I hope to get enough sleep tonight. My left leg is aching like anything. And my bed sore in my right buttock!

Oh well, I must keep my mind busy elsewhere.

Visit To, Visited By

Today, I visited my orthopedic surgeon. He reiterated what his assistant said last week - no fractures, so no need for bone surgery. Yehey! He prescribed an antibiotic for my bed sore. Although I can still barely walk and have to move about in a wheelchair, I noticed that the pain is no longer that intense and frequent. And I can move my left leg a little more each day. Little improvements, little joys, little reliefs.

I had two pairs of visitors today. The first pair were both males - one an HR manager, the other a writer/editor/director/singer. He sang "The Prayer" for me. They brought lots of fruits. Delicious! We talked about facebook and old friends. I also showed them the lyrics of "Mahirap Maging Mahirap" which I talked about in an old post. I want to put the song in YouTube. I also asked their help regarding my book "Mission:Possible".

The second pair of visitors were females - marketing research client and friends. They brought books for my mother to read. And a salad for me which I ate right away because I'm supposed to go fasting for tomorrow's blood tests. They brought home the notebook that my ex-husband is selling. I asked them for prayer requests like most of my other guests so I can pray for them, too. We talked about marketing research, past operations, current woes, etc.

I didn't do much work today but my deadline is still a far way off. Next week so I spent most of the day checking my email, facebook, visited Preacher in Blue Jeans.

I talked to some friends over the phone, too. Other people have their own personal crises, you know. So I shall pray for them as well.

Life is great! And as one of the last lines of "Slumdog Millionaire" says - "God is great!"

Whatever you do...

Friends of mine, Patsy, Tina and Ninang Corit visited me yesterday. They gave me cute stuff like a book marker and a datebook plus prayers and "things to memorize". Moreover, they gave me religious relics from Padre Pio.

Then they prayed over me. Patsy gave a beautiful message - "Whatever little you do, you offer it up to God, and it will grow."

Early this morning, I suffered chills and extreme pain. It took hours but I offered my suffering to people who are in pain, too, the sick, the suffering and to those who may not reach heaven should they die soon. When the ordeal was over I thanked the Lord, Mama Mary, Padre Pio and Mother Teresa.

I hang on to the relics and watched TV mass four times, and mom and my son prayed with me.
I felt the need to see a priest to say Confession so I shed copious tears.

The main message in today's gospel is "I Am the vine, you are the branches." I realized that God is pruning me so I can be fruitful. Fr. Mario said that the thing to remember is that if we stick to God, he will grant everything we want.

In Fr. Jerry Orbos mass, there was Dra. Fe Del Mundo in the audience - a long-suffering cancer patient. And Ted Failon and his daughter (she was crying) because it's mother's day and her mom just committed suicide. My heart went out to them.

Fatima the blind singer-prodigy of Fr. Jerry gave her sweet message and sang for us. She has such a cute laughter! I plan to make her sing my anti-abortion song.

Aside from mother's day, it is my one and only sister (Oyie's) birthday! Happy birthday, Oyang!

In my computer, I put "Whatever you do, do it for God, and not for man, that you may reflect His beauty and wisdom...and it will grow." Amen.
