So the nanny came to me the other night complaining that the little boy wasn't listening to her. She, apparently, had been reprimanding him (and her own kids, who, yes, still live with us), to no avail.
Nanny J: "Pinapagalitan ko na nga, di naman nakikinig. Sige lang laro ng laro, e sinabi ko madumi yun." (I was reprimanding them, and yet they didn't listen. Instead, they kept playing, even when I told them it was dirty.)
K: "Ano ba nilalaro ng mga bata na ayaw mo palaro?"(What were they playing with anyway?)
Nanny J: "Madikit kasi, hindi ko matatanggal sa couch pagdumikit etong 'Limes'." (It's really sticky and I won't be able to get the 'Limes' off if it gets on the couch.)
So I looked at her, and looked at what she was holding. Limes. Too funny. I couldn't stop laughing, because she started laughing too when I told her it was "S-L-I-M-E" and not limes.
PROCRASTINATION. pro·cras·ti·na·tion [proh-kras-tuh-ney-shuhn, pruh‐]; noun: the act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off or delaying, especially something requiring immediate attention. Ex. She was smart, but her constant procrastination led her to be late with almost every assignment. (from Dictionary.com)
Well, we're leaving for Korea tonight, and I haven't even started packing. If that's not procrastination, then what is? Last night, I looked at my empty bag, and the pile of clothes next to it, and thought to myself, I desperately need motivation (like the trip isn't motivation enough). But then, at 3am, I was still staring at the empty bag. The kids were already asleep and I didn't have an excuse.
The nanny dumped all of that on RL's bed. Sigh. Now I don't know where to start.
I'm in the office now, since we don't leave until late tonight, and yes, I am thinking "I have to packkkkkk!!!" but instead, I'm typing this. Ah procrastination! But really, I work best under pressure. Yes, I am the cramming queen. Photo-finish princess!
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Matthew 6:34 The Message
If you haven't been to Walkway in the past years that they've held an exhibit at Bonifacio High Street, then now's the perfect time to do so. Well, not now-now, but on Sunday, when it all starts! Hehe.
What is Walkway?
According to the Church Simplified Walkway FB page, Walkway is a creative interpretation of the age-old Christian tradition - Stations of the Cross. At Walkway, you will find fourteen interactive stations based on the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These stations are set up throughout the mall grounds of Bonifacio High Street to "hopefully bring a fresh lens on the events that surround Christ’s death and resurrection".
This year, to cap off Easter, Walkway brings you something really special - a FREE JARS OF CLAY CONCERT!
That's right, FREE. The concert happens on Easter Sunday, the 31st of March, at 7pm.

I never really had a knack for writing. But I kept a journal growing up and I wrote about anything under the sun. Blogging makes journaling easier. Only now, you have readers, and your secrets aren't kept under lock and key.
So I looked at her, and looked at what she was holding. Limes. Too funny. I couldn't stop laughing, because she started laughing too when I told her it was "S-L-I-M-E" and not limes.
