Jul 09 - this is the day that the Lord has made! Mission training for all aspiring missionaries for Mission Exchange 2010. Responded to God's call for mission. This was like a dream come true for me. I have always wanted to do this ever since but chances are not meant for me. I firstly chose Egypt but was shifted to Oman as my mission country. When I finally decided to join the team, I called my mom and here goes our conversation:
Me: Ma, I'm going to Oman for mission.
Mom: Anak, sure ka ba?
Me: Yes Ma, sure ako.
Mom: (Biglang nag-explain) Anak, kasi iba ang mission. Hindi yan basta service lang na parang ginagawa nyo ngayon. Sagot nyo lahat ng expenses dyan tsaka dapat ready kayo lagi. Hindi yan madali, anak.
Me: Alam ko po yun, Ma. Sure talaga ako.
Mom: (Panic mode si Mama) Anak, malayo ba yan? Kailan yan? Gaano kayo katagal doon? Sino mga kasama nyo? Ilan kayo? Madami? San kayo titira doon? Paano kayo pupunta doon? Magle-leave ka e di ba uuwi ka sa December? Anak, paano kayo doon?
*** Whahaha! Kalerky! Si Mama talaga grabe 'no! Hehehe! Oh well, that's her..
Aug 13 - off to Mission Exchange in Oman. A great experience filled with God's amazing and unconditional love. It was my first time to be part of Docu team. This is where I've learned how SLR camera operates. Hahaha! Borrowed Bro. Eli's cam for a week. During the entire mission, I let my heart speak of myself. I felt God is with us all throughout that meaningful week.
Sept 19 - surprised and celebrated RJ's 26th birthday. Early that morning, I knew about the birthday surprise they planned but turned out to be a different story because of my drama. Hahaha! It was around 9PM when I called her and asked what she was up to. She is just chillin' at home! I told her that I'll take her out - my treat since it's her day.
RJ: San tayo pupunta?
Me: Wala lang. Lakad at chikahan lang tayo along Rigga tapos dinner just to celebrate your birthday. Ganun lang. Bihis ka na tapos sunduin na kita dyan.
RJ: Nasaan ka na ba?
Me: Hmmm.. nasa bahay pa nagbibihis na (the truth is nasa Rigga na ako).. Hehehe! Nandyan na 'ko mga 5 to 10 minutes.
While with RJ, I was BBMing Jill as to where should we meet and bring RJ. We ended up at Fish 'n Company. RJ refuses to go (thinking about the expenses :D) but i insisted and said "wag ka na mag inarte dyan at ako naman magbabayad. Tara na!" Hehehe!
