It's Official!

So, I wasn't able to blog for the past days because I accompanied my sister in the hospital... she gave birth yesterday afternoon. She labored for about four hours. Though it's not quite a long time, I was bored to death! But then, the boredom ended when the companions of the other women giving birth there, who happens to be their respective husbands, started chatting and shared some thoughts, insights, and stories. I'm one of the boys again! Hehehe. Thank God she and her baby are fine! By the way, it's a girl. She's 5.1 lbs. and 46 centimeters.

I'll be officially called TITA BERNA here in our home (though Ate Ima's 'cuties' has been calling me in that way since I was introduced to them). And of course, my sister is now a mother! I just hope that she would be able to handle her new responsibilities. It's no joke to be a mother... not to mention that she's stuck in quite a difficult situation since she's basically the sole responsible for the child.

Right now, I'm quite tired and exhausted. I didn't get enough sleep. The room was quite cold. I had to eat from time to time so that I would generate heat. I wouldn't wonder if I'd gain a few pounds. Hehehe.

At around three o' clock in the afternoon, I had to leave the hospital and go to Moonwalk because we have covenanting practice. I arrived at around 4:30. Oh well, as usual, me and Kris Arellano were the first persons there to arrive. The others were late, while the others didn't attend and didn't even bother to inform us that they couldn't make it. And so, we started our practice just an hour before the youth mass. We had to rush the practice because we have to attend the mass. Grrr!

I remember in one of the talks in preparation for the covenanting, Oying(the speaker in the talk) told us that "It is better to be loving than to be righteous." Really, I am trying my best to be loving. But it just gets me when other people seem to be unmindful and insensitive of other people's time. While others cancel some of their appointments just to be able to attend the gathering, the others are being so irresponsible! In fact, sometimes I wonder if they're really serious about this covenant they're about to enter. I mean, how could they say that they ready and willing to be a part of the covenanted group if they couldn't attend a simple covenanting ceremony practice! I just hope that they'd take this covenant seriously.

After the youth mass, Oying and I attended the reunion of the old CYM members/leaders. Got the chance to chat with them after a long time. And I was happy when I learned that Kuya Ron told me that he misses the community life. So I told him to attend our prayer meeting... I'm hoping that he would be able to join us again... :)

Well, some of them were asking when's our plan to get married... oh well, here we go again... Question: Would I be disrepectful if I tell them just to wait for our wedding invitation. Hehehe. Just a thought. Sometimes, I'm just tired of hearing the same question from my friends. What do you think? :)
