Weekend? What dat?

Whew, OK, a little time to write on this thing. I've had non-existent weekends these last few weeks, but it's all good. Tired and sleep deprived, but still very much alive and happy. Wish I had a few days free to retreat to the mountains of BC but...

Haaah, the mountains of BC, where all my stuff is. I dread the thought of opening the refrigerator after almost a month's absence - I left an amount of perishable stuff in there, because I'd planned on returning a mere four days after getting back to Manila. Not four weeks. Sigh.

Then again, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are - thankfully - so much higher than ours (Isaiah 55:6-9). I've spent the last few weeks working with Miles at Pixel, attending to my He Cares duties in QC and Montalban, and finally getting Third-World Traveler, Inc. together as a legal and functional entity. Thus the non-weekends; but I have no complaints (just a fervent hope that I get the chance to go "home") because everything's been a blast so far. Although I've done several advertising projects on a freelance copy/concept basis for different agencies, I've not done full-time ad work since 1989, in between graduation and law school, when I held a couple of jobs in the advertising biz. Now it's interesting to be elbow deep in graphic concepts and art books and image banks and client e-mails - it's actually kind of fun. Just don't tell Miles I said so. He he. Kidding!

And because I'm mostly on my posterior instead of running about He Cares cooking meals or chasing after kids (other than on the weekend), I can focus and do work on other things and projects long since put on the back burner. I've been able to help 4D out on our volunteer policies - God, please send us more committed Christians - and finally get Third-World Traveler, Inc. off the drawing board and into reality. Dreams are useless, after all, unless you put some doing into them.

I have a free day off tomorrow (Tuesday) - although it's hardly free, technically anyway. There's a He Cares staff meeting in the morning, and then after it's a good friend's wedding, I'm singing at the reception, and I have had no time to practice aside from everything else. Arrrgh. But God will sustain. Haaaaaaah!! God is good - all the time. Although His sense of humor can sometimes be a little strange. Sigh.
