im sick..

im sick for five days now and counting. it's a
a mild flu because my temperature is only a bit
higher than normal but its still making me uncomfortable.
my head feels heavy and i can't smell and taste a thing.
my molar is all swollen too and i have this very anoying
sore throat every morning. i think it's a bacteria and
virus thing all conspiring against me. my self-preservation
agents, a.k.a my antibodies, were all having a hard time
finishing them off.

funny i was still able to lead our small group's PDL session
and still managed to go through our two rehearsals for
yesterday's worship service. but i have too admit, i was
really cranky and impatient during the practice. sorry
franz, hehe. kuya noel pinch hit for dave, who was nowhere
to be found during our rehearsals.

now i'm in the office. my head still hurts as usual. my
nose is all clogged up. but God is gracious i still have
full control over my movements. i still managed to go and
report for work today and was able to come on time. i really
wish i can continue with my jogging. maybe when i get well.

on other news. these guys are coming over to manila on march 2.

this is not my december

i think i had the worst december of my life. it just came
and went. without a bang and without even a hint. i have
been too busy and i just went out of the circulation. my
inbox got flooded by almost a thousand mails (can you
believe that?!). a lot of missed calls and text messages in
my cellphone. had some forgotten obligations and responsibilities
taken for granted. even my church ministries were affected.
i think the appropriate song for me back then was "this is my
december" by linkin park. just squeeze in "not" inbetween
"is" and "my." hehe. and oh yeah, i don't like linkin park at
all, the song just popped out of nowhere.

but speaking of songs i like, i finally managed to take a hold
of that lifehouse song "everything." for you smallville fans out
there, this was the song that was played during the first episode.
and this song was ringing throughout the episode's ending. the
song is very powerful. i also managed to find lyrics and chords
for it. astig. it speaks about Jesus being our everything. jason
wade, the singer for lifehouse, contributed a song in passion's
2004 release and is entitled "revolution cry." very nice album,
it also featured a live version of chris tomlin's "not to us" and
"holy is the Lord."

comet macholz will be at ti's beek on the first half of this month
and it will be an exciting week for all you stargazers out there. just
point your binoculars to the constellation pleiades and you will view
a greenish comet. you can view it with your naked eye minus the air
and light pollution in the city. just try looking for it tonight and
enjoy one of God's creation. here's the skymap for your reference:
