C5 Says…

A few days ago I experienced a miracle. It happened also a week ago.

We use LPG tank for cooking. Our stove is a single-burner one that’s already old and rusting. Last week when I woke up to cook breakfast at 5am, the burner would not lit. I discovered that the hose attached to the stove was detached…and the LPG tank ON! Normally, gas would have filled the house. If the stove was last used the night before at around 7pm, that’s a long time till 5am!

Again, it happened a few days ago. Same story.

My eldest is 16. After graduating from high school, she had the opportunity to be swimming assistant coach which means she had a job. Not only did she earn daily but she enjoyed her job.

Leaving early at around 6am and coming home almost around 9pm, she gets dead tired to do any household chore. There’s a policy, though, in this household. If you’re working, you’re excused to household chores but you share even just a little for the house rent, water and electricity you use. Chores that used to be hers got turned over to the 2nd kid, likewise the 2nd kid’s chores, to the 3rd.

Now that my eldest was in a long vacation due to fewer students, the two younger siblings were ecstatic because their eldest sister gets to work at home again. I also get to taste her cooking while I do my online stuff.

For almost five days I was without my own internet at home. Before that, though, I was without a working PC. Hubby figured that the motherboard needed replacement. I was able to buy the replacement on the 2nd day. When he had it mounted, he found out we did not have internet connection. Having an extra LAN card, he tried it, but to no avail.

We all have priorities and preferences. We also have tasks that we do not prefer but should do. We have dreams we want to accomplish. We also desire more of some things that come our way scarcely. How we see things, our perspective in life, reflects on what we do, not on what we wish we could do.

Tom Cruise is dyslexic that surely gives him a hard time reading right. Memorizing the script makes him do his best in acting. He’s a good actor but without the script, he’s nothing. He loves acting so he does his best.

For several weeks now, I feel pain at my lower back, close to the hips, worst when I get up in the morning. I used to feel that pain during pregnancy…and I’m NOT pregnant at all. My monthly period adds to the pain, though. My last pregnancy was in 1999!

I remember, though, in 2000, when we were in Talisay, Batangas, caring for fish pens. We stayed in a house with marble flooring. We only had mat to lay our backs on. Every morning, when I get up, it takes some minutes to struggle with my back ache.
