$4/hour

yes, i'm back at this coffee place next to my apartment that charges $4/hour for internet use. taga taga. i'm too wimpy to stay on campus 'til dark. and the library closes early anyhow.

last night was a bad one. i was fine when i got home. i cooked another terrible meal (bistek dapat pero weird lasa ng soy sauce. . . totally not my fault. . . hehe). I was doing what i'm almost always doing when i'm at home. . . watching the intersection right outside my apartment. what else could i do without a tv or a computer? hehe. i was reading the book prayer of jabez and it was actually very uplifting and encouraging. but when i got to the part where the author tells a story about playing with his son, i just started crying. . . i sooooo miss my parents. and of course i start thinking about everyone else and i start crying even harder. . . well, nobody said this would be easy and it's not. . . but i've been reading this wonderful book by elisabeth elliot entitled secure in his everlasting arms. there's a chapter there that says god will give what you need at exactly the right time you need it. and lo and behold, after a few minutes my phone rings and it's precious shrieking into the phone "nasa pilipinas na sila!!!haaa!" in her usual hysterical way. at first i had no idea what she was talking about, as it turns out she was talking about the amazing race. anyway, she just sort of reminded me that a) someone is thinking about me and b) someone else is going through what i'm going through (wala din siyang makausap. hehe.). i slept pretty well after that. . .

anyway, i went shopping this afternoon just to make sure that i don't start weeping again. hehe. good thing i'm not good at multiplying because if i was i'd start weeping again. . . hehe.
