It was still dark when I woke up. It was, in fact, the 3rd time that I opened my eyes and looked at my cellphone to check the time. Finally, 5am. Such an unholy hour but I had an appointment with friends to go jogging so I forced myself to rise and prepare. Sixty minutes later, I met them and we were welcomed by the falling rain. It could have dampened our spirits but there we were, seeking shelter under our umbrellas and walking twice around Powerplant mall.
For the whole day yesterday, friends and I just enjoyed each other's company (halfway though, I was beginning to nod off. I can be an early riser but it doesn't mean that I can survive the whole day fully awake :) ) From a tasty and filling breakfast (see the cute pancakes I had!), to apartment-hunting and house tour, to another yummy native lunch, to a coffee-fix while discussing life and relationships, and then to a suspense-filled movie. The late afternoon was spent skimming over very helpful books at a Christian bookstore and then off to another dinner in a hotel quite near where I live.
It seemed like a long day yet it seemed short. Filled with so many activities yet it helped me. A lot. I didn't want to be alone yesterday and I wasn't. Dear dear friends, thank you so much. Thank you, Lord for such friends.
