Monday. It's Thanksgiving. 1AM early morning.

I asked mom to wake up dad so we can talk about what's happening and what happened the Sunday after my sister's debut. I wasn't at church two Sundays ago, because I chose to rest. I couldn't sleep and I think it's about time to know what had happened during that Sunday. My dad, from his point-of-view, felt that both him and my mom committed sin because of how the program had progressed. This is due from the Pastor's message during that particular Sunday. However, what had transpired only affirmed what my dad had been feeling ever since we left our former church. My dad said that there had been a lot of negative signs when we had left. It's too deep to put in words why we left. He explained that the message during that Sunday is not doctrine. Also, it's not the sole reason why we're now deciding to go back to our former church. My dad said it was the trigger to move back -- he revealed we would eventually return no matter what happens.

My dad perceived a lot of detrimental things that were happening in life. Signs were involved why we had to leave the Philippines and signs are also involved on this decision. Some of these signs involve my grandparents getting sick all of a sudden, things like our microwave, our drier and our big screen TV suddenly getting completely broken, thus having to toil more to pay for everything. It felt like a curse was riding on us in the background. My dad has more. But again, there's a reason for everything. I can say that the length of our stay there would be enough, because I was also able to teach and share my knowledge to the youth there. I mean, now we're making progress of having additions to the Music Ministry. Now, I'm getting a bit sad, because this means that I would eventually leave and miss my brethren again.

I lead in prayer. We just asked God to search us, asked God for forgiveness and wisdom in what we should do. If there's one thing that I learned this year, it's that I should involve God when making major decisions in life. I slept at 4am.

I woke up at 8am and had a videochat with my girlfriend until 9am. I told her that today's Thanksgiving. I swear it's my first time trying to fight away not to sleep, and we talked about a lot of whatever random things we can come up. I was still drowsy after she logged out, so I went back to sleep. I woke up at 2pm for brunch. I told myself that I'd study for tomorrow. Procrastination is over. I took a nap and woke up at 6pm and went to tita D's for the Thanksgiving. I wanted to introduce my girlfriend to everyone, but she wasn't online. The Thanksgiving was only a simple gathering. We got home and I decided to hit the hay early.
