The past few days have been physically exhausting. My volunteer work officially starts at 8am and ends at 5 pm. We get to do our assigned tasks amidst the summer heat that pervades every nook and cranny of the orphanage center. A cool breeze blows in from time to time, bringing with it irritating dust. I just grit my teeth and work it. Despite all these, there are good things that make our work easier to bear. Aside from being able to help the kids, we get to bond with each of our groupmates. Each of us brings his or her own breakfast and lunch. What we all try to do is pack enough food for two. During breakfast and lunch breaks, we get to have an improvised buffet and taste home cooked meals that are loaded with calories. A friend would bring instant coffee, we talk and kid around over java and marloboro's. We take a siesta from 1-3 pm although we don't ever nap most of the time. We sometimes play poker or get foot and hand treatment by the ladies in our group. Come 3pm, the local baker delivers some goodies that we all take time to enjoy and afterwards, we're off to work again. We go home by 5, all hot and dusty, but satisfied with the day's work...

I just had my old mobile line cut off. I'm off with the old and on with the new. I just hope that I made the right decision. So far, everything has been doing okay. For my practicum, I only worked half day. I had a couple of appointments to make and one of them was to go to my old cellphone network office. Today is okay. I'll give it a score of 8 out of 10...

I'm now getting rid of my bad habit. I'm not procrastinating anymore. I got tons of jobs to do; business, schoolwork and personal. I'm getting things in order and not waste my time doing nothing. There, I said it...
