Wishing and Hoping

Last Saturday, I went to Encino for my 2nd job. It has minimal work and the location is just perfect. The only downside is I need to get up early.. But Im still thankful coz it's not easy to get a part time job in LA. When I got home, I slept some more and since Darwin is with his mom in OC, I get a chance to be alone. I watched Life Aquatic and it's a dark comedy flick... all the cast are weird.. but it's funny.. I cleaned the apartment after watching the movie.. I love cleaning and throwing away stuff. The problem is once it's gone, I can never take it back... that always happen to me.. so I guess you'll only see the value of something once it is gone.. hmmm.. beats me.

I got a call from Jill and we talked for like an hour. I know there's still a lot of catching up to do when we meet. Oh, I guess I just miss her. I wish she can move closer to where I live.. =P She invited me to come with her to the miraculous cross in Canoga Park. You know I need a lot of miracle these days. =P I told her I'll just carpool with her so I wont bring the car with me. While watching "Whose wedding is it anyway?" in Style Network, I cooked cornedbeef and ate lunch at 4ish. That's pretty late huh.. Got dressed and Jill picked me up at 6ish. I met her friend and the friend of her friend (got it? hehehe). When we arrived, the mass has just started. The "Holy Cross" as what they coined it, is somewhat questionable. I dunno.. but my faith is still strong, it's just that I hope it is not made up.. There's a fellowship after the mass and the lady who witnessed the holy cross shared her experience. I took a 2nd look on the cross and prayed my petitions. We left at 9ish and Cheryl invited us to her condo. We had videoke and ate dinner (again... for the 3rd time) Pictures will be posted later.

Sunday, after work, Darwin picked me up for Yuna's christening. He's the godfather =) We both have our first godchild this year (finally.. hehehe I had mine with Ate Gigi's daughter last Jan 17 and DJ was my proxy). The church ceremony is already over so we went straight to the reception.. it's in Stargazer. It's a small intimate party with family and close friends so I'm glad to be part of it. Yuna's mother is Darwin's aunt. So that makes Yuna his 2nd cousin.. Crazy huh? Had a quick chat with Tita Zita coz we need to leave for church. We decided to go to OLP for the 6pm mass. Darwin told me he doesn't want to go to church but I know he's doing the reverse psychology thingie again, so I said he should sacrifice his precious time for it and one hour wont hurt. Then he said it's not a sacrifice but it's a celebration =) Ok.. ok. I stand corrected.. sorry po. Watched Curb your Enthusiasm at home then I cooked tapsilog for dinner.

I thank God for giving me so much blessings.. He's so good to me.

P.S. I was looking for my "Ninang atlast" post but I didn't write it pala.. so here are the pictures na lang..
