It's 4:40pm, Athens. It's a rainy day, been raining for the past three days.As I am writing, I see the tiny drops of rain on the veranda overlooking the Olympic Stadium.Last night the stadium had its lights on, and there was traffic on the street below going to one of the entrances. I don't exactly know where is the front entrance because I haven't been there. Maybe I will visit it when summer comes again next year. Summer is gone, and winter is coming. My Filipino friends who have been here for many years tell me the rain is part of the crazy Greek weather. It rains even in winter. Isnt it the same for other temperate countries? I wonder.
My friend left this afternoon on official trip to Milan, Italy. It's been four years since our vacation in Rome and Venice.We had a great time there and I was hoping I'd be able to join her in Milan .Unfortunately, visas are now required of Private Staff of Filipino Diplomats. And there was not enough time to get one.So, I am alone...for about four nights.
Four nights? Oh my God, when was the last time I was alone here in the apartment for about the same number of nights? And I couldn't sleep. Yes, 'duwag' at 'matakutin ako pag nagiisa. Not of burglars, really because our place is very secured. But of 'multo'...huhuhu...Specially since the death of our beloved mama last May...
But I am confident Mama Mary will keep me safe.I prayed fervently that our Lord Jesus will guard me, through the intercession of Mama Mary...
Thank you, Lord...
