of blessings and wedges

Thank you Lord for everything. This week is really overflowing with blessings.

I passed the first oral defense for my thesis because of YOU Lord. I could not make it without you. Everything went smoothly that Wednesday afternoon because you were there in that room through the words I have spoken. You were there as I looked in the eyes of my panelists who at first glance...you feel like you are about to be eaten alive. But they were gentle...and kind and whose comments are formative and helpful. Like a father's words to his child.

I was standing for the whole two hours wearing my brown strapped wedge feeling not even a single hint of leg pain. It was like wearing Jesus' sandals on my feet while walking in an endless road. It was the longest two hour journey of my life. When they gave the verdict that I passed after final deliberation, it was like finding a bus stop at the end of the road after the nonstop walking..where I was able to have a big sigh of relief. God, you were there in that journey never leaving me until I reached my destination.

Today, I received the Holy Spirit through confirmation. Wearing my red wedges with a flesh colored dress, I was sealed by the gift of the Holy spirit and it was one of the memorable occasions of my life with Kuya Gil as my ninong. My pair of wedges was flaming in red as I received this gift for the second time. Thank you for this one special moment Lord. Now I'm ready for the sacrament of Matrimony with a new pair of blue wedges perhaps? :)

I look forward to more blessings to come in wedges. I will continue to be grateful LORD and will always remain humble.... for you are the source of all these. Thank you Lord!

barefoot

I was staring blankly at my computer with thoughts wandering nowhere and too tired of thinking when suddenly I felt the need to remove my shoes to release that something inside me that I can't explain.

I love the feel of my feet on the cold floor and the cooling sensation it brings to my legs. Sitting here alone in this corner of this unlit room, removing my shoes was like stepping into an enchanted world...a place where I can be myself...barefoot...relaxed...dancing like a princess...singing and shouting to my heart's content...undaunted by the time and demands of the real world I came from.

Barefoot means freedom. It's 2 days more to go before the semestral break that have been dying to have. I felt so choked up by the people around here...the things demanded from me and the thesis i have to finish by this week. Last night, without hesitations, I went straight from the meeting to Quirino Ave. to look for that new small hotel around the area. The time I stepped inside the cozy lobby of Midori Inn, I felt that it was home for me. After 15 minutes inside, I just booked myself with a one night stay this saturday and left the inn with a feeling of freedom.

I want to be away from home....I want to be alone and be able to finish the thesis that I have to complete. I need this time alone to be with myself...to look back and think about my future.

I need this like my tired and restless feet needing the comforts of the tiled floor.
