The Lenten Saga: Day 32

Today I sat back and listened mostly during today's Caterpillar Challenge session. I really did not have much to say or add... Well, even if I did, I keep failing to convey what I want to say. I am beginning to realize that I am much better conveying my message through written word than by voice. It is something I definitely need to work on. I am learning a lot, but I am also realizing that I am a very textbook person. I see questions, then I answer, but if we go further into the topics the Caterpillar book asks, I am silent. It is the equivalent of me teaching my pupils I tutor how to use their own reasoning and what they were taught to solve more complicated problems based off knowledge of the basics. This is simply the religious equivalent.

I must get better.

The Lenten Saga: Day 31

So this was another long week. Pretty boring one too. I really do not have much to talk about tonight about anything... or this week. My work hours are getting way too long, and work-life is beginning to become a blur. I need to find a way out of that.

The Lenten Saga: Day 30

It is late and I am still at work... These tasks are not going to do themselves. But hopefully I can get these tests done and then I am home. So while these tests are running, I will be watching the Duke-Villanova game. I have Duke winning in my bracket so Go Duke!!! Hehehe

The Lenten Saga: Day 29

Wow, this was such a long day. I just now got home from work. Today I sang with the choir at a funeral. So throw that in with working out, getting lab tests done, creating allocation reports, and doing more lab tests, and somehow finding food in between to eat, makes this a very long day for me. So I will no go to sleep and get some rest. It just keeps getting better and better... That last sentence was meant to be sarcastic.

The Lenten Saga: Day 28

Oh my goodness!

I just had one of the worst Siopao attacks (LOLOLOLOLOLOL) ever, in my modern-day history. The weird part is... I have no clue how this got triggered. I woke up this morning and found myself saying to myself, "Hmm, I want to eat siopao for lunch..." and thats when the war between my stomach and my brain began! I just could not stop thinking about it!

For those of you who do not know what it is, Siopao is basically a steamed bun but filled on the inside with a type of meat (pork, chicken, beef) or (scrambled) egg, onion (other vegetables optional, but I usually stick with onion), and a couple of sauces for flavoring. When done right, oh my goodness!!!!!! I can bash like 10 of these! I am just so tempted to make it, but I can not! I need to wait a couple more weeks! Then it will be ON!!!

Yea, one of my many ethnicities is beginning to emerge! LoL!

Oh well, gotta get up early tomorrow, so I am calling it a night! Peace!

The Lenten Saga: Day 26

Such an eventful day! From singing twice at two churches, to participating in the Crop Walk, to even watching USC and Michigan State go at it. Unfortunately, my Trojans did not make it, but I think it is pretty safe to say that it was not a cakewalk for MSU. They earned that win, but it was no gimme. USC lost by 5. Duke is still in, YaY! And I will be watching the Villanova-Duke game with much interest. Now in my bracket I have Pitt and Duke going at it, with Pitt winning, but if Duke pulls it off, I will not complain!

Funny, this is where I usually do my Sunday thoughts, but it has been a very long and busy day. I do not even know how far I walked in the Crop Walk.... I just followed everyone else, but I had a walking buddy, a choir member from church. I was the only young adult from the church group there, so everyone else were my elder. Nonetheless, I had fun, and it was enjoyable.

I need to get up early tomorrow, so I am signing off now!
