There are times when you want to do many things. Trouble is, you are out of time to do even a single part of those things. Sometimes, time seems cooperating, that it gives you all the pleasure to do a thing in your mind. But then again, you just can not do so because your body is not in a suitable condition to do such thing. Confused? Well folks, I am referring to myself and my desire to do this blog regularly. I went for more than a month vacation and what I had in mind while approaching Philippines then was that, I would take a lot of time writing many things. To post good materials in this site especially the experience of travelling back to my country where along the way, I met many OFWs like me. Each has own tale to tell.
Well anyways, I did have lots of work to do right from the very day that I arrived in Davao. It was just a week before Bea’s grand debut party so right then the pressure was thrown on me. The gown, the venue, the invitation, the food, the cake, the balloons, the video, the pictorial, the make up session, the program, and of course, the payment, plus, shopping spree! I had fun though, but I never had the chance to really sit down in front of the computer because even at home I did not have enough time to scribble a word or two. The feeling of not spoiling the moment of being with my family, and I knew that was my moment after years of absence, it was just hard to resist!
Time is telling me it is indeed very hard being away from them. Lots of catching- ups, making ups and yet you could not get enough! Ahh, those missed years of events and occasions which can no longer return to you no matter how you wished it would. So finally I said that this site takes a holiday leave. And I added that soon as I come back to Cyprus my blogging resumes…it was so easy to say then.
Coming from a hot weather Philippines, my body reacted very badly after a week. As Cyprus is in her winter season and intolerable cold temperature, I was right away caught by fever and flu. Huh! And I had severe coughing and disgusting runny nose! Thanks to my mom she gave me medicines to bring with me and it helped a lot. I did not want to stay in bed as it is really time to get back to work, so feeling well or not, the show must go on!
The thing is, in the mornings, I am feeling okay. Evening comes, when I am already at home thinking to sit down and do blogging, then I start feeling weak and vulnerable. Sneezing never ceases out with burning eyes and heavy painful back and shoulder. This is what happens when they say, spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Ahh. Lie down, idi, your body needs rest! Blah blah blah! Dont want to answer yelling voices of overseas calls from home.
So let me just do a simple making up then, folks. I am saying that I am still not well enough to really satisfy my own personal desire of putting good materials here. The fever at night still lingers, (little cough this time though)Â but I wont exhaust my mind to work much. My body still cries for enough, much needed rest and I wont be denying it, my golly! So for the rest of the days until my body and mind are ready, IÂ am posting pictures which somehow might remain in your thoughts after seeing them. I have posted few last week but there are a lot more! Enjoy!
