11:40a

open house
wow! yesterday was unbelievable.
after I finished my entry yesterday, my day got better and better.
once again the powers that be took care of me.

all day from 9am til I went to bed, the phone rang incessantly.
I was home alone since my bf went off to get his "hair did", as Missy Elliot would say,
in berkeley.
I never did make it there myself since one of those 20 phone calls I got was from my parents
who said they were coming over earlier than planned.

In any case, the first phone call at 9 am was from telemarketers.
They called a couple more times
followed by a call from my "little sister" in Berkeley,.
followed by my dad (who called 3 times, to tell me the same thing each time),
followed by a call from my bf (as he waited under the hair dryer for his new highlights to get done - naks!),
followed by another call from my bf (to make me jealous that he was walking around telegraph avenue on a beautiful day),
followed by a call from our two friends, E & S (to ask if they could come over later to check out my bf's pictures),
followed by a calll from our other good friend, E (who I chatted with for 30 minutes ),
followed by the doorbell (my parents were at the door packed with filipino food galore),
followed by a call from by bf again (to ask me some random question),
followed by a call from my brother (to ask if he could come over and take a shower at my place),
followed by a call from my friend, M, who is getting married today (to ask if he could take me up on my offer for a massage session later that day),
followed by another doorbell ring (it was E & S),
followed by a call from my dad (to tell me he was gonna pick me up soon so we could go to the hardware store),
followed by a call from my friend A (to ask if we were still on for our scheduled back-to-back massage sessions for him and his wife)

....and in between all those calls, we (E, S, my mom, dad and I, and my brother)
had the lunch my mom prepared: nilaga, rice, fried fish with bagoong and tomatoes,
bread pudding, leche flan, and ice cream.
after my massage sessions with A and his wife, T, we ate dinner (same food, different company)
and hung out for a little while talking and watchinh Animatrix.

Suffice it to say, I didn't feel down anymore.
I was just full with the realization that life is more than one aspect of it (i.e. my work situation).
There's so much more to be thankful for and happy about.
thanks to "the powers that be" for reminding me of that yesterday.
Once again, I was blessed.
*happy sigh*
