New Day

Well I felt a little better today. I woke up feeling really groggy, I think it has to do with the mood that I was in yesterday. I feel like I still have a lot to learn about myself and a lot about self control. I can't let my emotions control who I am because that can affect how I am in ministry.

On the plus side I got a few new things today. One I finally got my Cor Jesu College ID, it might be something small, but it makes me smile, it is a souvenir I will definitely be taking back to the states with me. I also got two t-shirts that say "Proud to be Cor Jesian". I like the shirts but they are just really big on me. All the Filippino shirts that I have tried on fit me differently, for instance I fit in a 2XL with some shirts, well it just so happens that the shirts I was given today are about a 5XL, yeh it makes me feel huge, people I have lost weight and the rest of my shirts from the states that are XL are getting to big for me, so that is comforting.

We also went to Mass at the Benedictine Monastery today, it is always nice going there. I also tried Durian for the first time. It is sort of the staple fruit for the Filipinos. The way it is described is as follows "smells like hell, but tastes like heaven." Well I don't think it tastes like heaven, but it is okay. I also took some time today to read the Bible, something I should be doing more of. I read all of the Book of Revelations today. Tomorrow it might be something else. Played basketball tonight, it was pretty fun but my team lost. Washed clothes today, nothing exciting about that.

Well in other news and I didn't post this yesterday, but my brother and sister - in - law are expecting baby number 2. They just found out that they are going to be having a boy. So now I am going to have a niece and a nephew. However, it is hard for me being so far away because I feel like I miss out on so much. I will definitely make up for that in the future.
