Retribution

On one end, I can't tell them I'm hurt because I've caused more hurt.
On the other end, I can't tell the truth because I know it was stupid and foolish.
So in the end, this is what retribution looks like.

Stupid and foolish

Bruises and cuts don't lie.
They'd tell you a different story if they could.
The story where the main reason I fell is intact and not left out.

Feeling terrible for the scratchies I caused one of the Silencerts today.
As well as the story I had to spun to concerned relatives and my dad.

I now own an X ray to remember this day.

It could have been worst.
Could have knocked his head.
Could have been knocked by a car.
Could have made things unrepairable.

Could have been the deciding moment like I've told Him to be that moment.

But it wasn't any of those.
Not a single visible line.
And I am so relieved despite of the pain that I deserve.

Life goes on.
I'm still playing tomorrow.
Even if it kills me to do so.

Whirlwind

PHEW!
I'm pooped.
Seriously.

It's like a whirlwind when Ko comes back. Especially this time without the kids and he can run around faster.
Thankfully it was only for 3 freaking nights!
Ko tries to fit in as many people to meet in one day as he can and I to planned that out with the various locations for just one of those days. And one day alone was tiring!
He even made calls in the car to catch up with people while the driver is driving him from one place to another!
I'm sounding so familiar to what I was doing in Aussie. FETCHING HIM AROUND.
Except there are no naps in the car this time!


I get this sense of being shifted into the highest gear to accommodate his speed of..... needing to get this done, meet this and that when he's around. Like tasks after tasks in a game, with no time to waste and you can ticked 'Mission accomplished' if you made it in time.
What with our absurd speed limits here and the local traffic jams, we pretty much were behind schedule some of the time and I wasn't going to risk getting a ticket just for him!

Then there were the 26 boxes of GH biscuits he bought to bring home. Yup, an astounding 17 kilos.

Thanks to the brilliant packer of a sis-in-law I have, we manage to cut it down to 20 boxes by repacking them one box at a time.
And those went into this big box to checked in that showed up ORANGE and RED on the security scan in the airport.
The security went 'What do you have in your box?', being slightly suspicious before putting the security clearance sticker on as he explained.

And now it is time to catch up on my sleep after an early start going out before 5AM to drop him off with dad.

PISA

It is not about the one looking up, but about the One looking down at you.

I can't explain it when things fall into places the way you hoped they will turn out to be.
I can't explain the prediction that I will be stuck with two of the most silent people I know.
I wanted to go so bad that I blocked people from getting into their own house until they said yes.

And I was a tad upset when the prediction really happened.

But then there was the timing of seeing slave driver's car going under while mine was going up.
And then just a few sms-es later, there he was as well!
He's way better company than two Silencerts (yes, I am right now nicknaming the silent people as Silencerts).


I'll be on the other side waiting for you.
I said. To him getting through the tunnel with about 50 people welcoming us.
And those words strummed something deep.
Because isn't God on the other side of the tunnel for us?

So there we were now four.
We moved seats once, over to a better place some people abandoned.
It turns out I was then sitting on the right side and angle to watch Nana dance!

Which was a double triple yay! Like, mission accomplished!

I'm thankful that nothing was a coincidence today.
That (thankful #144) it was all in His timing .
If I wasn't fetching 2 Silencerts, I wouldn't have been at that speed or place to have seen the car.
And if we weren't waiting for slave driver, we wouldn't be seated where I could see Nana's every move.
And somewhere in between all that, (thankful #145) I saw all the people that matters to me.
As scattered as they are, they were all there.
Like we would all be someday in heaven.

Skittleils

A haul.
Back in February.
In the idle hours between reading, sleeping in the car, and taking walks around parks.
I got these.....

Hehe!

I've only covered 5 of them so far.

Looking forward to the day when I can get the magnetic polish on!

Which brings me to mention the highlight of today which is this awesomeness below!!!

Blue, Orange, Pink, Green, Purple and the Other way round!

I should have taken photos a week ago but I was busy and now my nails are growing out.

It's so much fun to show a 3 + 2 or 4 + 1 or vice versa and always get 5 different colors!!!

Do you see the color cycle?

Weee!!!
