Shucks!

Last Monday I had several calls from my cellular phone during office hours. I noticed that when I’d answer it, it’s very noticeable because silence is being observed in our division. So I had to go out and answer the calls either in the lobby or at the front of the building.

As I was answering Nanay Inday’s call (I can’t remember what we were talking about then), I’ve said, “Ok Nay, Yes Nay” maybe four to five times. When we’re done with our conversation I turned the phone off. When suddenly, the lady Regional Technical Director (RTD) or one of the next in rank to the Regional Executive Director appeared in front of me and said, “Hoy, iha ano’ng ginagawa mo dyan?” (Hey, what are you doing?). To my surprise, I answered, “Oh hi Nay!” I was so ashamed. Everybody calls her Ma’am or Madam, and I called her Nanay (mother). There really are times when we’re caught unprepared. What made me more ashamed was, I wasn’t able to tell her I was sorry because she walked straightly and I just stood still – shocked.

Another Funny Experience

Last time I posted about a funny incident about my blouse which was worn the other way. This is another experience (related to it) I’ll share:

Just a month ago, Sunday, my whole family went dining out to Jollibee (you know, kids’ favorite). We entered Limketkai mall and walked around 50 ft., I guess, before we reached the fastfood center. Since it was Sunday, people were everywhere, we’ve got to be careful not to bump with anybody. As we neared the place, I saw a vacant table at the corner. I told them to hurry up before somebody can occupy it. And so we got it! After getting their orders, I stood in queue for our orders. When I was back to our table, my hubby said, “Are you wearing your blouse properly?” When I bowed to see why, I found out that it was worn the other way! Huh! The threads are there! I did not finish my food yet, I hurriedly headed to the restroom, trying to avoid the people I’d meet, people behind me and those at my sides. When I was back to the table, we were all laughing. I told my husband how ashamed I was. I then recalled which way did we go, and thought about how many people could have noticed it.. How could I? I don't know why this often happens. Is there something wrong with me? Or is it, it hurts to admit, my "little" clumsiness.. LOL

Gift From God

Last week (Saturday), I and my hubby went canvassing for a computer CPU when outside the store I saw a printing press. I remembered that I had to canvass for my Bible “repair” also because some pages (maybe five) were detached when it fell on the floor. So I crossed the street and asked how much it would cost me. I was told it would be rebound (hard bound) after the pages are back to its original places. They will charge P250.00 but after some bargaining, the lady said it can be reduced to P230.00. My, it’s as good as buying a new one! I just told them I’d be back when I got the amount.

The following day, Sunday, I was installed as the pastor-in-charge of the Jesus The Shepherd Church. (I will post about this next time). After our Head Pastor announced my installation, he gave me a certificate (in frame) and a NEW BIBLE! I was soooo happy… Now, I enjoy reading it, especially it has large script and the words of Jesus in red letters. Isn’t God amazing? He really knows not only my desires but my wants and needs. Praise Him!

Nursing Board Exam.

Was doing report (minutes of the meeting) during the office union’s general assembly today when my officemates requested to me to browse on the net the November 2008 Nursing Board Exam. result. I was also excited to do so because I know of some friends who took the said board exam. It took about five minutes to have finally opened it. Excitedly I opened for my friend’s name first (of course). They had to wait because I’m the computer encoder hehehe. Tadan! Praise God her name was there! I could also feel (imagine) how excited she’d have been. I immediately sent her my congratulatory message and told our pastor about the news... But I pity my other friend who did not make it (this time).

One officemate of mine commented; those people who took the exam. will surely travel and work abroad. Well, it’s a common thinking. When I told my husband out it, he also thought she’d travel abroad. Let’s just wait and see. We don’t know her plan and God’s.

Another Blessing

Yesterday I went to my daughter’s (Honeytweet) school to submit a letter-request for my son’s Form 137. As I was heading to the Office of the Principal, I noticed there were two streamers in front of the building. I remembered then that my daughter was one of the participants in a Math competition. Then indeed, I saw her name on the Grade III Level. It’s really easy to notice your own hehe. I immediately took a picture on it. She made me (and her dad) proud again. We’re praying for her to be the 1st honors at the end of the school year. I am very happy that God has blessed me with gifted children (in different packaging). All glory and honor belongs to Him. By the way, my husband is gifted too hehe. Praise the Lord!
