DONE

OK, this might sound boring to you guys. A blow-by-blow account of my application. Exciting. Riveting stuff. But this is my blog so bear with me.

I finally mailed the application. The deadline is still on the 23rd, but I just couldn't stand the stress anymore. I wanted it out of my hands and into God's, destiny's, fate's, or whoever else's hands you want to put them in.

You know how superstitious I get when I get stressed! I actually kissed the envelope before dropping it into the mailbox!

Kakahiya pa sa post office. I was expecting that it would only cost 50 cents. But maybe because I used a big yellow envelope, the lady said it would cost $1.45. My friends in college know that on any given day, I would only have 5 pesos in my wallet (P3 for a jeepney ride to and from school, then a little extra for chicheria, I'd go home for lunch kasi) This time, I had only $1.40 in my wallet! Luckily, the lady was very kind and said that would do. Thank you to the post office lady!!! I hope you have good karma because of that!

Edge had an interview today at a Catholic school. Not the one we really, really want to get into, but it's a job prospect nevertheless. He said he felt it went well. We'll see what happens...

Please keep praying for us. Thanks.

Dear Monica,
Glad you finally got your application out into the mail....whopeedoo! Praying all goes well for you.
I just remembered, there is a Jesuit school there - St. Aloysius (?) My brother's sons went to school there when they were still living in Sydney. Has Edge checked it out? I suppose so....
Wishing you ALL the BEST!

5 pesos in my wallet...ganyan din ako! once i ran out of barya and i had to walk home from work. i used to work near (what used to be) nichols air base, so ang nilakad ko: nichols to baclaran, then edsa all the way to kamuning st, then along kamuning to scout ybardolaza. it was a great experience, never regretted it.

(pasensiya ka na natutuwa lang ako dahil ngayon lang ako nakatagpo ng katulad ko).
