Thank God for 40! and a lot more :)

Thank God for 40!

I thought I was the only one who took the opportunity to rest for the whole week, apparently, almost all of us just took the time off from school works and grabbed enough rest. In short, 4AAC wasn't not prepared for today's recitation in TAX. In fact, 5 didn't attend the class. They hurriedly sneaked out of the room after Audit so that Atty. D wouldn't see them.

Atty. D clattered the tambyolo after checking the attendance. Everyone was trembling and hoping that their number wouldn't be called. Then 33! The question is about income tax, and I'm so dead. I studied, but I was only able to finish the basic principles and not yet about tax on individuals. 33 wasn't able to correctly answer Atty. D. Then the famous "that will do" followed.

He clattered again and picked 23. Luckily, 23 was absent. Then 17, who was also absent. Then…….

He picked 40!!!

40 is the number assigned to Atty. D, and when he picks his number, he will just conduct a discussion instead of a recitation. And there it was! Tadaa! 40! The quiet and trembling 4AAC suddenly became noisy as if they won in Bingo. (but thinking about it, it is more than winning the Bingo! It's being spared from the recitation for the whole period and it's a marvelous blessing for 4AAC.

But more than the joy of being spared from the recitation, I felt that God is with me, and He never failed to let me feel that He's always there for ready to rescue. I remembered my prayer this morning, I told Him:

"Lord, alam niyo naman pong nag-aral ako. Pero kung mali man ang pinag-aralan ko, kayo na po bahala."

And He really took care of the rest. He indeed is my rescuer, my God, my Savior. I just need to remember that I should always trust without fear. :)

 

Welcome back to BSA Life

Our class will start at 1:30pm but I was already in school at 7:30am. I was cramming. I have two quizzes and a recitation for the day and all I did was scan and lecture a little (and sleep) for the past few days. It's not surprising to see many of my classmates to be also in the library early in the morning. Everyone was cramming. This is our life, something that we have learned to embrace for the past three years.

Ma'am Manuel talked about her make-up class. And it feels that we already missed a lot in MAS well in fact, we only missed 3 hours from her class. The "make-up classes" rings so much in my ear. She's on it again. The ever industrious professor whose favorite past time is to conduct make-up classes even if there's no more need for one. Sigh. And she didn't forget to prepare for our exam today, just like as promised. And as usual, she bombarded us with homeworks due on Thursday plus an exam about FSA!

Homework+quiz=no rest on a Wednesday

 

The Feast Manila!

I was able to talk to Sir Quijano today about the Feast Manila and he was very eager to attend. I even told him to volunteer and he was willing to be a reader for the Feast. I'll just tell Tita Anabelle about it. :)

I am happy to be able to invite people to the Feast. I know that I haven't invited much yet (and I could invite more) but I'm glad that I could hear yes from friends and I have Sir Quijano to help me out in inviting my classmates (even if we will come late due to a 6-7:30pm class in Sales).

I am really excited for the Feast Manila. I know that God will continue to arrange my schedule so that I could serve. :)

 

Ciao! :P

I'm off to study now or to bed. I'm still confused on what I should do. I still have 8 paragraphs in Audit and 75 articles in Sales to review until 3pm tomorrow. I just hope that I could finish everything. :) I am not procrastinating anymore. I just wish I did this a week ago. :P

I just want to say that God truly works for good to all those who love Him. Thank you Lord! :)

My own personal Angel :)

I have a problem, I sleep a lot. And when I say a lot, it's really a lot. For the past week, I slept more than 8 hours a day. If my calculations were right, I slept for more than 12 hours a day. Every time I had the intention to study, I just fall asleep and I don't know why.

I tried my best to wake up early in the morning and do the routine that I always had before. But I failed. The attempt to study during the wee hours in the morning is not anymore effective for me because I can't even wake up. I am deeply bothered. I promised myself to use this time wisely, but I didn't.

Then I prayed, lifting up this problem to God.

It's 2:49am in my laptop. 3:45am in my clock. And I don't feel sleepy at all. God heard my prayer, and He answered it. Maybe it is His will for me to sleep so that I could rest and be ready for the week. I don't want to rely on energy drinks anymore because they are not good for the health. And I want to take care of myself for God, so that I could use my life for service.

Today is the solemnity of Sts. Paul and Peter. I didn't know St. Peter's story until today (except for the famous verse "And so I say to you, you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church…"). Truly, God works in marvelous ways. He saved St. Peter from King Herod so that He would be able to do His will, to build His church.

God was using His angels to save His children from harm. We all have our own angels and I know who's mine. I just want to say thank you to God for allowing her to be my angel. And thank you to my angel who was always there to help me out and listen to God's orders.

Thank you Lord! Thank you Mama! (the special angel God personally picked for me :D)

 

P.S. Sunday was great to see Grax and to invite her to the Feast Manila. I finally recruited Marius (my cousin who's living here with us) to come to the Feast Manila and I even told him to bring his friends. I am hoping to invite more. Btw, my Sunday was productive. I was able to study for tax. Yey! :)
