EDSA I – February 24, 2006

Somehow I got the much needed absolution today, after three long years. It’s such a great feeling knowing your soul is His again. “I firmly resolve to avoid all occasions of sins. Amen.” This is my new year’s resolution. Along with this is the undertaking to be more patient, to hold my temper, to be humble and to be more understanding of other people’s feelings especially of those I treasure the most. If there is one commandment I have not broken, it is “to honor your father and mother”. They are not perfect just like everyone else. They are not typical parents. Nevertheless, I never doubted they love us with all their heart.

There is, however, one thing I failed to do today – getting the needed sleep. The sun was just too excited today to see me whole again, it was shining soooo brightly. Infact, the government even declared today as a holiday. Isn’t it great? They were celebrating for their prodigal daughter had come home. No classes means no stillness at home. Josh’s friends are making so much noise in the room. They were like, laughing and talking the whole day. Let the children’s laughter, so they say. Though I had turned on the air conditioner, I choose not to sleep anymore. I’d rather not be dead to the world for 24 hours than get a 3-hour sleep and end up having a terrible headache when I wake up. I am thinking not going to work today but I don’t want to waste my leave credits. With our inboxes all clear, I guess I can take in-between-call naps… hehehe… model employee.

I am still trying to figure out whether I would go to the office earlier or just in time for my shift. I don’t know which timeslot has a heavier traffic taking into account the rallies going on --- I guess not for the Edsa I celebration but for the call to ouster GMA.

Gosh! I remember, I had committed to Leni to join the Freedom Build tomorrow but I don’t think I can still survive 48 hours without sleep. I might forgo the activity. Maybe next time when they will hold the action on a regular day… I mean not in concurrence with a national holiday where security threat is at high. I had seen how the military force is in red alert today and tension might arise by tomorrow… hehehe… I found a good excuse. Sorry.

Call in or not… Call in or not….. still playing in my mind. Let’s see what happens by seven. There would be six left of them if I don’t go to work today. Hmnn… kaka konsensya ba? Que sera sera.
