Sinulog

An annual celebration, in January, is a festival of cultural and religious significance depicting the Filipino acceptance of Christianity. Last year I attended and it was an incredible experience. I wasn’t going to attend this year as I’m not much into large crowds but Ronnie decided to attend and so I’m hosting her.

It’s about 7 a.m. and we’re going to have a blast. It’s going to be a long day. Plenty of music, dancing, and festivities. Last night Mabolo(my barangay) held it’s parade. I considered it a warm-up for the main event. A bit of an appetizer or primer to prep for the main event today. Ronnie enjoyed the activities last night and I’m sure she will today as well.

Today, Sunday, January, 19, 2020, I am grateful that:

Even though she and I had our first disagreement last night, we’re still cool. Merely a lack of an ability to communicate clearly, English is her third language, we talked through our misunderstanding and resolved the misunderstanding.

I’m able to host her for the last few days. Her presence has been good for me and has helped me further determine what I’m looking for in a companion. She possesses a duality of personas and I’m happy to be with someone as affectionate as her.

I slept well. For so many years sleep has been a challenge but last night I rested well and it’s early morning for me and I’m ready to get the day started. It’ll be fun to enjoy Sinulog, meet new people, enjoy the dances and parade, and host Ronnie for her first Sinulog.

How are you selfless? How do you encourage others to become their ideal selves?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
