Yesterday, May 16, 2012, is Papa's payday. When he came home around dawn, he brought the news of his wallet being stolen. That wallet contained his SSS ID and other loaning IDs. Most especially, that wallet contained his ATM card where his salary is always directed every payday.

Papa said that he had withdrew almost $46 and that there is still remaining of almost $69 in his ATM.

He goes home around 12:00 am, commuting in bus. Papa was in the bus the dawn of May 16 and he fell asleep due to extreme fatigue. He woke up when he was near his destination. A fellow passenger from the other chair told him that Papa's pocket where his pocket was was severed by a blade through his pants.  

And that was how Papa came home ----  with a huge hole on his left pants.

Papa was so fatigued that he didn't know that he was being robbed. He inspected the butt pocket of his pants and found there the mini Bible. I saw him press it to his forehead, saying, "I thought that this was my wallet."

Well, I felt like crying because we were supposed to buy school supplies because the school opens here soon. And there are still a lot of unpaid bills.

That morning I prayed. . . super duper prayed.

I wish that the robber had stolen Papa's Bible, instead. I think that wicked man needs it more than the wallet.

But I also came to realize. . . isn't it nice that Papa still have the Bible? He needs it too. . . in order for him to be reminded of staying strong. For us.

May 18, 2012

so a while ago Papa began following up with the IDs he has lost. He left the house very early in the morning in order to fill up Affidavits of Loss and went to the City Hall to have them notarized.

just in case that his IDs would be used in criminal activities (for example, it was deliberately set up in a murder scene. ). Well, we don't know. We want to be safe, don't we??

So there. And know what?

When he asked the bank to check if his ATM card has any balance in it, the personnel confirmed that the ATM still has its remaining balance!!


Oh, thank GOD!!

Papa can get the remaining money [and his salary] once his new ATM card is issued, and hopefully it's on his next payday.

So here. I'm very thankful that that robber didn't do anything to hurt Papa. He has just paralyzed Papa's plans, but not his faith.

And now we're surviving.


Thank you so much to those who are there with me through all these challenges!! I really don't know how to pay you back to all your kindness. I'm just so. . . honored to have you all.

And so I come to promise. Once I finish with my personal goals whatsoever, I'm gonna turn my attention to all of you lovely people. I don't know if you can wait. But maybe, in 5+ years it will happen? When I'm already 8+ years in dA?

Haha, we can't say!

And anyway, thank you so much.

I love you all!!
especially GOD.


Have a GOD-blessed day, lovely people!!
