A Sack Full of Hope

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITYyesterday

Finally I was able to attend the novenario for our patron saint Saint Lucy healer of the eye. It was the sixth night we were late because of Ria. Her brother needs to carry her because the road was slippery. The barangay official put a sack so we can easily crossed, but the high tide reach the sacks that made it slippery too.

I admire my son because he really wants to complete the 10 nights. I suddenly asked him what his wish if he complete the 10 nights. He told me he only wants a bountiful, peaceful Christmas and new year.

We were outside just to make sure Ria will not make noises.

As I just taught; Ria will not behave. I gave her my phone, but it wouldn't be fair if I don't let her play. There are a lot of distraction when you have a kid accompanied at the church. She also bought an ice cream, I was following her the whole time she was playing. I was afraid that the running kids will bumped at her and she'll fall. She was too excited and happy to stopped, she also saw her classmate. The kids stop playing because the mass has ended. They saw the crowd abs they know that a lot of people will get mad at them.

After the mass a live band and The Amateur Singing contest

We just watched a little singing and decided to go home. My son is the wearing a cap beside him is my brother-in-law. He was newly rebond, I was a little envy to see his hair!

Here's what we need to cross again to be able to go home. I'm sorry for the photos that are blurry. Im just being careful because if not I will surely get hurt or worse my phone will get wrecked or wet. My son already carried Ria and they are already far from me. The school is really creep at night. I would love to run but I'll surely bump my head. There are a lot of scary stories about it. But in my mind we just been to the church God will surely protect us.
