today, i woke up with a start with my sister banging on my door. if there's one thing i hate the most, besides hunger, is being asked to wake up. i squinted at the door and grunted, 'OH?!'
she reminded me just what OH it's about. we're supposed to have a choir practice that day at 9am and its already 7:30 on my phone. i slumped back down to bed and allowed myself a few more minutes of shut eye. once satisfied, i got up, shuffled to the door and went out to a new day.
i brought a book, prepared for the long, quiet journey from home to church. i was surprised as i've felt a sudden rush of energy flowing thru my veins as i've started talking to my sister about the random-est of things. i didn't need the book after all!
as we're walking from Jollibee (we decided to take-out breakfast) to our church which is about 2 blocks away, i tried something that i've read from someone's blog entry. i tried to BE present in the moment that we're walking. i was surprised at the difference i've felt. all of a sudden every honks and skids of the cars passing by were amplified, all the people's faces i walk into were magnified and i felt..FRESH. it was like seeing the world with a new pair of eyes.
all throughout the day i tried to focus my attention to the present moment and i've enjoyed it. whenever i feel my attention beginning to wander, i push it back again into the moment i am in for i cannot have this moment again!
as a last surprise, though it wasn't really a surprise it was more like a hold-up. i've persuaded my sister to buy me tickets for the first part of the Harry Potter movie!
who's got tickets to the movies!!?? I DO!!!!!
hahaha! i hope you enjoyed today as much as i did!
mwah!
