Childhood Memories and Lazy Holidays










A hot lazy holiday morning.

Today is a holiday to celebrate National Heroes Day and since i have nothing to do except play Farm Mania in my laptop, i decided to go to my Tita Jean's house to spend some quality time. After eating a (very) hearty breakfast of tapa, sinangag, cream bread, cream cheese and a mug of coffee, i buried myself in my laptop and "facebooked" away. After about an hour or so, Facebook lost its magic and i felt the hot holiday morning.

To my surprise the sky became gray as the sky threatened to pour down and spoil the fun of the many people enjoying the holiday sun at the beach. And then it poured...heavily...i thought hey..can i play in the rain? I know Mama won't mind and Tita and Tito won't mind..and so i asked my cousin Jericho if he wants to bathe in the rain..he twitched hi faced and continued playing a game in Tita's laptop.

I really want to bathe in the rain..i called my other cousin Sarah if she wanted to bathe in the rain..she grinned and said yes..wearing my pajamas and my cousin wearing shorts..we jumped and laughed in the rain..

Fun..pure fun..

I remember bathing in the rain with my sister Gladys and my brother Ton ton way back when we lived in Forestry, UPLB. Whenever it rained hard, Mama allowed us to play in the rain..when the rain stopped we would continue playing using our garden hose to create an effect of rain..

Bathing in the rain brought back the child in me..the child who laughed and enjoyed in the rain.

Prayer


Dear God,


people tend to be accusing even without proof

sometimes i wish i could take things into my own hands and fight,

But You say otherwise, and so i will obey

Lord, i always pray i'd be the light

Lord help me do what You want me to do

help me be to patient and loving

even towards the people who put me down

You have said in Your word that you will never let me down

Lord i entrust this to you

knowing You hear me and you will vindicate me



In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
