The day I was banned to take a bath. Oops let’s not delve there first. I know I am stinky today but let’s concentrate first on what happened yesterday. The whole world knows by now that the well-loved Pope John Paul II is dead. His remains now lie at the Vatican where thousands of mourners are and where thousands more are expected to arrive in the coming days. He died 3:37 AM Manila time. I was still awake then but of course the TV was not on. I can still remember how I saw lightning or was I just hallucinating? I was saddened of course, just like everybody else. He was a good man. He was the most-traveled Pope but he traveled for a cause. He has done so many things. He did not just make changes concerning Religion and Catholic faith; he was also behind some historic Socio-political reforms.
I am actually feeling a lot better now. But yesterday, we went to the manhihilot. I do not think there is an English translation for that term. And that’s when the banning started. After what she did to me, she had said that I cannot take a bath tomorrow (today). Of course, I am abiding by it. I fear that if I do not abide, then my condition might worsen.
And so I did not take a bath, and I am not taking it. I know it’s one difficult task to do especially on a Summer day-good thing it isn’t really hot today. I started my day at 7 AM. I went to the church to hear mass. It was a thanksgiving mass for my dad. I was not confident because I did not take a bath. There were no kuya’s in the church- most of the people there were old people-but I was still not confident. But it was not important anymore. I thanked the Lord for all the good things that came my way these past few days. One: I have been feeling better. Two: I spent 2 hours of my time yesterday with my mom at the mall. Three: My dad is arriving.
Yes, after 6 months he is returning today. In fact, I just talked to him on the phone. I know he works so hard just to give us a better life. He is a good father. He is an awesome provider. We may not have as much as other people might have, but we’re okay. I love my dad. I may not be taking a bath today but I am taking in all the good things God is giving me.
That’s all folks. Thanx for being one with the stinky but still fabulous epal!! God bless us all!!
