After being diagnosed of colon cancer, my uncle had dedicated his time in informing people about the disease. He would always suggest that we should learn more as well about the prevention of colon cancer, especially that he is the third person in the family to be diagnosed with it. Cancer is genetically passed on so we should be really aware and should maintain a healthy lifestyle. I wish I could help my uncle in his helping activities. He is now a member in some cancer patients organizations that are visiting folks informing them of the disease.
Fresh from her college university, my cousin who was applying for a position in an IT company made sure she was all ready for the scheduled interview. Because it was her first time to hunt for a job and be interviewed, she called me to seek advice. So I told her to first research about the company’s profile so that she has an idea of what the company she is applying to and second, she just need to practice answering impromptu questions while having eye contacts with the one she is talking to.
To make the story short, she made it. She said that during her final interview, the big boss was so impressed with her smartness that he gave her a signing bonus! Impressive! This afternoon she visited me and talked about her new job. I told her that good thing she came by so she can help me fix my problem on my computer. I can not open some files and I notice that it runs slowly. She checks everything and deleted some cookies and run the cleaning software. She advised me also to install other security software to avoid future worst trouble. I was happy that she came by that I can finish my pending works.
The other day I spent most of my time waiting. I was shopping some stuff at the beauty shop when I remembered my mom asking me to buy her an anti wrinkle cream, a few days ago. Since, I can not recall what brand she told e to buy, I had to call her through the pay phone. The line was a little bit long at the phone booth, so I waited for my turn. After calling my mom, I went back to the beauty shop to buy the cream. I was calm for those moments. It’s not a nice feeling but I was calm. Thank you Lord for my patience.
When my mom came home this afternoon, she had some stuff with her. When I went to see, she said it’s for my sister, she ordered belly fat burner from a friend who is selling weight loss stuff. I was a bit surprise because I didn’t know my sister is getting conscious of her weight. I mean we go out often and eat a lot. It’s just been sometime that we did not do that. I guess she is now determined to loose weight. Well, I hope she will accomplish that. As for me, I still want to eat a lot. LOL!
Even though we live in the same city, I rarely have the chance to see a very close friend of mine whom I consider my mentor. Mentor, not because she is way older than me, but because she never failed to pass unto me her wisdom about life, love and God.
Before she left for a one year mission in Asia, we met at a café shop after my work. We were so happy to update each other. We still wanted to stay and chat but she was leaving that evening. Before we parted ways, she gave me the Lord’s prayer bracelet it’s a very nice piece of religious item. Every bead symbolizes the words Jesus gave us when He taught us all to pray. Together with it is an inspirational note. The note goes this way… Have you ever felt like the contents of your life have been dumped on the ground before you? That everything you believed in and depended on has suddenly turned upside down? If so, you have given a wonderful gift because now you can choose which items to keep in your life and which ones to leave on the ground to be recycled and transmitted. Maybe you have been carrying some items around for too long and the heavy load finally broke open, causing the contents of your life to scatter. Every once in a while, life seems to shake us up and knock loose a few things we have become attached to. Next time it happens, ask the angels to help you pick up the pieces.
I’m just lucky, blessed and grateful about it!
