Lately, I've been in a black mood. You can even read about it from my previous posts. Since April came in, it seemed like I am strugging to keep it together, at home, at work and even at "play".
It could be because of my long list of TO DOs... Which instead of getting shorter, it just seemed getting longer and longer. The "kiasu" in me wants to have to the list trimmed down so that I can breathe. And, it's not happening.
Anyway... I finally acknowledged to myself that I cannot do it --- ALONE. I uttered a simple prayer while I was in bus travelling to work. "Lord, turn my life around, even a tiny bit".
After that, I called Ate A and asked her to prepare. We're going to OZ embassy to get her visa. I was thinking that I haven't prayed enough, haven't asked the Lord enough for one wish to be granted. *insert smile here hehehe*
While at work, I printed all the necessary documents and asked for time-off. Rushed to OZ embassy, there were a few people... I commented to Ate A that at the US embassy, there are more people applying for visa. Anyway, we finished the form by 1130AM and queued. They called our number by around 1145 and we found ourselves in front of the immigration officer. The officer was very nice, when he asked how long Ate A has been with us, I had this feeling that everything will turn out fine. And it was, at around 1205, Ate A had her visa!
Oki, though we were very happy about the visa... We became worried at the minutes passed by. Bebi A will be coming in at 1230 and we don't think we'll be able to meet her. The bus uncle and aunty were not picking up the phone, our Pinoy neighbor was not around... We were really panicking!!! As soon as we saw our block, we rushed to our flat and saw Bebi A standing outside. All ALONE!!! My heart was beating fast! But she just smiled at me and greeted me with a sweet smile. She said she was fine but she was a bit sheepish when she told me "I had to pee, Mommy! I couldn't hold it. I peed near the trash chute!" Hahahaha... Anyway, we poured water over it but commended Bebi A for her presence of mind. I am just happy she's safe.
Thank you, Lord for yesterday... It did turn my day around... And, it also shortened my list by one... *wink*
I am off to work-packed weekend but I know that everything will turn out GOOD because GOD has already blessed me. I claim it and I believe it!
