Almost two years since my last post!
Whenever I have time on my hands I think to myself that I should blog. I do regret not having been more actively blogging. It used to be my way of documenting my days but nowadays, I can hardly update my journal.
I do bullet journaling now. Before I moved to another department at work, I used to be so meticulous in writing something every day. But then my new job kept me busy so now it's become more of a tracker and reminder journal. I just track whether or not I worked out, when I get my period, when I'm supposed to pay this or that, or when events are scheduled. It still serves me well.
Since starting at my new job, I also hardly have had time to read new books. I'm currently rereading The Two Towers. I'm also in the middle of reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (it's cute).
Also, every night I try to read one chapter in the Bible. I highlight a verse or two that I feel speaks to me, then I pray. Just today, I started reading 1 Corinthians and the verse I highlighted was 1 Corinthians 1:25: For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Typhoon Ulysses hit the country last week. Very badly hit was Montalban, where I and my son love to hike. Whenever we go there, we're always warmly welcomed, though that might have more to do with us being with our driver who's from there. His cousins always acted as our guides during our hiking trips, so when we heard how the typhoon had devastated their area, we had to help. We gathered old clothes, blankets, towels, shoes, and got groceries. It's a drop in the bucket, but we continue to help as donations are still being sent.
2020... what can I say? I don't want to say it's the worst year. I said that about 2019 and 2020 proved me wrong. Our troubles will surely be carried over into 2021, but after this hard year maybe we'll be wiser and more equipped to deal with whatever 2021 has got in store for us.
