Today I met Ate Lorna. A stranger who allowed me to share her umbrella.

I didn’t anticipate the rain. Only when I was outside did I notice the gloomy sky. When I arrived at the Church’s metro station, the rain was already pouring. From the metro station, it was an approx. 5-min walk to the Church. Almost everyone had an umbrella.

I don’t want to chastise myself for failing to anticipate the weather cuz I’m not often outside, and so bringing an umbrella was not instinctive.

But I have confidence. Lol. So I asked a random woman who I hoped to be kind enough to share her umbrella. And kind she was!

We even attended the church together. We were ushered to the babies room! I thought it impossible for my single childless self to ever set foot in the babies room, but apparently God had made the impossible possible? 😆 And because our home stations were on the same line, we rode the metro together. She even waited for me while I topped up my card at the station. 🩵

It’s not because I couldn’t say ‘not today’ to the attendant. He wouldn’t have minded me. If he did, it probably would be for like 10mins or so then he would forget about me and go about the rest of his shift.

I bought it because it looked good and I feel guilty cuz I should have bought something for my mama and papa instead of for myself.

I don’t regret it, tho. I could use it in the beach and somewhere else. I bought a pair 3 or 4 years ago and I still have it so it’s proven to be durable and til now still in style.

I admit that there were words or confessions in that Talk that when I remember, I still get hurt.

More activities or new activities to try

Still contemplating whether to move to another country or stay here in Dubai, but I’m envisioning that early this year I will be able to have a decision.

Less screen time

Healthier lifestyle or more active

Non-fiction books/autobiography

Finish the Bible (1st read)

The right person who will become my boyfriend

MORE PATIENCE (less rage)

More intentional in what I do.

If possible plan ahead the activities

I had my wisdom tooth extraction today.

The dentist struggled with it as it was in the innermost part and askew. The tools quite hurt my lips but I know she had no choice. When the tooth finally came off, the three of us—meD, dentist, and her assistant—gasped ever so lightly, then laughed. Probably from relief! 😂

Ultimately, the procedure was successful and hopefully it heals without any complication 🙏🏽
