A timely reminder that while we observe the things happening around us, we must also look at the little blessing that God have placed in our way.

DAY 4: LOVE IS THOUGHTFUL

I still am amazed. I still am a fan. I still believe in this code of conduct. I still believe the good in men. Cheers to the men of valor who I know!

I was doing a revisit of historical backgrounds of the prominent periods in World Literature for my students, when I read about this code of chivalry that existed during the Medieval Ages.

The Knights Code of Chivalry as described in the Song of Roland

1. To fear God and maintain His church

2. To serve the liege lord in valor and faith

3. To protect the weak and the defenseless

4. To give succor to widows and orphans

5. To refrain from the wanton giving of offence

6. To live by honor and for glory

7. To despise pecuniary reward

8. To fight for the welfare of all

9. To obey those placed in authority

10. To guard the honor of fellow knights

11. To eschew unfairness, meanness, and deceit

12. To keep faith

13. To speak the truth at all times

14. To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun

15. To respect the honor of women

16. Never to refuse a challenge from an equal

17. Never to turn back from a foe

Hindi kagandahan ang pakiramdam ko ngayong umaga dahil sa dami ng concerns na bigla na lang pumapasok sa isip ko. 5:59 ng umaga gising na ako. Ginising ko yung pamangkin ko para ipaalala sa kanya yung dapat niyang gawin bago dumating si mama galing sa palengke.

Halos isang oras akong nagmuni-muni bago tuluyang lisanin ang kwarto ko pababa sa sala. 7 to 8 am, nagbasa ako ng PDF at muling pinagbulayan ang sustansya ng aking nabasa.

Yung mga sumunod na oras, syempre, yung usual na morning ritual.

Maghilamos, magtoothbrush, at humarap sa salamin. Naglinis ng bahay.

Lumipas ulit ang ilang sandali. Kinuha ko yung laptop at nagsimulang mag-browse ng mga bagay na may kinalaman sa mga naiisip ko:

Scripts for a short play presentation.

Ideas.

Inspiration.

Online opportunities.

Balisa ako. Hanggang sa dumating itong pamangkin kong si Faith
