So Paranoid!

Oh my! I know I should be excited and happy about our trip to Sydney but why I am so paranoid about it? It all started yesterday. On my way to work, the man standing in front of me in the train was reading the news and I saw the headline saying that some flights from Singapore Changi to Melbourne were canceled due to the volcanic clouds from Chile blocking the Australian air space.

I wanted to know more about what happened so I got my phone and searched for it. My search string was Qantas Airlines. To my surprise, a lot of news about flights of Qantas airways came out.

I started to panic but I forgot about it because I was working.

Today, I remembered it again. But instead of panicking, I started searching for prayers that will help me calm my nerves and to help me relax.

Lord calm my fear of flying. Let us have a safe flight on 12 and 16 July 2011 with no mechanical problems or turbulence or wherl/tire problems. Let us have a safe landing in Sydney and a safe take off from Singapore. Please let me feel the peace during the flight. In your name I pray.

Praise the Lord, O my soul. Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty. You wrap Yourself in light as with a garment; You stretch out the heavens like a tent and lay the beams of Your upper chambers on their waters. You make the clouds Your chariot. In the name of Jesus I resist fear of flying because You ride on the wings of the wind. Praise the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, you are very great! You are an awesome God! 

I really wish and pray that everything will be OK during our vacation and trip.  I am excited already! I was even able to buy my jacket for our trip already. I really wish and pray that I stop being paranoid about this.

Please Lord, please!

Ironically Excited About Our Short Manila Vacation this Holy Week

OK, I know that it's my third Manila vacation for this year and I shouldn't be excited because, yeah, it's my third vacation. But I couldn't help it! Going back to Manila just for a short time makes me want to plan my whole wardrobe and list the things I need to buy in the grocery and make a schedule so that we can eat on the all the places that I want to eat in.

Sure I can't fit all these activities, but there's no harm trying right? So, I'm posting here our tentative schedule.

I remember Doms creating a schedule for our Pinas vacation. Here it is:

Good thing the words were not clear because of my screen capture. I liked the schedule but it was too cramped. Best part of his note was "shopping galore" scheduled on Sunday. As if may pang-shopping sha!
