On my first day on leave, 15th of December, I went back to office for a few hours to "dig" some old invoices "buried" under a pile of other documents and left them with my colleague (she didn't have a choice, unfortunately). Then, my sister, brother and I went to pick-up my sister's car from a vehicle workshop after its regular maintenance service... went to Friday's (first time I dined in that branch! hehehe) and spent the whole afternoon in a bookshop. (Hmmm... there's a danger if you leave me in a bookshop. Before I go there, my wallet should be empty of both cash and credit card... otherwise, I won't leave without buying! hehehe...) So, I bought Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho. In the evening, we went to attend the first [Simbang Gabi] at St. Mary's Church.
... Manual of the Warrior of Light ...
16th of December, I went to the Phil. Embassy to inquire about a few things and in the evening, went to join my colleagues for a [Dhow Cruise]. Yeah, I missed [Simbang Gabi].
17th, 18th, those days slipped away... but I didn't miss the mass in the evening.
19th, I went to the Safa Library and spent the whole afternoon browsing through a Teach-Yourself Hindi and Teach-Yourself Arabic. Later, I realized I shouldn't do that again. The very few words I remember are now mixed up in my head! (hehehe) ...Anyway, before I left that wonderfully maintained place, I borrowed three heavy books related to accounting. Until now, I have "browsed" only one of them. I was not absent again for the evening mass.
20th of December is the 29th wedding anniversary of my parents. I do not know if I should greet my mom since my dad already passed away four years ago, so I didn't call her... (should I?). Mass in the evening, as usual.
Today is 21st of December... my LAST DAY at home to sit still and be alone... with God, of course! :)
