Movie & Reading Time

I was up and had planned the day... 

Since Alan is back, he had the external DVD player. I had planned to finally watch the Jane Eyre BBC 2006 Version. I borrowed the DVDs from the local library, but could not play them on our Blu-Ray DVD player as the 'region' was not compatible. 

After Alan and Isaiah both left for work, I started on the DVDs. What an enjoyable morning.

I then worked on my talk and ppt for September 28th. 

Reviewing memory verses and reading on the sofa were also on the agenda for the day... 

Needless to say, the time flew by!

I had tutoring at 6:00pm... and it takes about 40 minutes on my scooter to get to this kid's house... 

90 minutes... On the way home, I stopped at the library... three more books came... I also reserved Theo the Golden, so that should be coming in the next few days... I didn't pick up the book until after the tutoring as I didn't want to spend the entire day reading, like I did last Thursday! I'm going to bring the book for my MOE Day... I'm not sure how much free time I will have...

Alan had basketball this evening... Isaiah had a baseball game. 

Prayer time at 8:45.

I got things together for my MOE Day tomorrow... plus tutoring!

Alan Is Back!

I was up and ready to go pick him up... but the car didn't start... so he took a taxi from the SongShan Airport... It was only 9US$! We will work on the car at another time...

He unpacked his clothes and I unpacked the box sent from Annie... IT WAS AN ENTIRE BOX OF OLD PHOTO ALBUMS... NEXT SUMMER PROJECT. What I noticed was many of them were only half filled... so I will need to go over them and fill them up... most of the pictures are Mom and Daddy George... so... I will have to decide to keep or not... It will take a block of time to get that done.

Alan went to play tennis and to the sports center while I finished all the unpacking and organizing and putting  things away. I was finished at around 11am! YIPPY! His clothes were all still on the bed!

He came back at 1pm and ate lunch and turned on the AC... ha, ha, ha... and took a nap!

I had tutoring at 3:40, so I took off at 3:15... on the way home I stopped to buy the 2027 filler for his date book and had tutoring at 6pm.

I was glad to be home... 

Alan had taken off to meet up with my brother at Miramar Mall for dinner... YIPPY!

Prayer time at 8:45!

Please pray as Isaiah met with the real estate agent and the worker to access the problem with the leak in his house. No one wants to take the responsibility to pay for repair... is it the fourth floor responsibility? Is it the previous owner's? I will keep you posted!

Cooler Nicer Tuesday

I was up but I was not out... still no running... 

I had Bible study this morning, so I took off just a bit earlier. We had five sisters and the time flew by. While at my Bible study, Alan texted me saying that his flight is so delayed that he won't make his connecting flight. So, they sent him to Eva Air and China Air and he got on the China Air flight which is the same flight that Isaiah came back on some 10 days ago. Direct and arriving by 5:10. Amazing!

I got home, after stopping to get soy bean milk and pick up a book from the library. The other books have not arrived.

I turned on the WiFi as I needed to test our new desk top to tutor at 3:30... and I noticed that I forgot to post my blog from yesterday... but no problem... still Monday in the States. ha, ha, ha...

Class with my student on line went well... and we have set up what we want to do this semester. We will meet only twice a month.

It was nice to have the evening free... 

I was thinking about going out for a walk, but decided to stay home to finish my blog, prep for my talk... and to READ!

Of course, I had prayer time at 8:45!

I was to have tutoring at 6:30, but that was cancelled... I'm not complaining.

What A Monday!

I was up... and it was a repeat... yes, I scootered over to the Metropolitan and had the breakfast. My brother did come and sit to chat as we said he wasn't having breakfast.. I didn't want him to pay... 

It finished at 10am and he went for a workout at the hotel gym and I took the MRT to meet up with a friend. It's our usual second Monday of the month time... and she is considering buying an apartment for her mom, so we walked over. It needs renovation... but it's a nice little suite... 

We went back to her place and talked and prayed and then I had to leave at 1:45 as I had a friend coming to my house at 3pm. So, off we went... she went to work and I came back home. I took the MRT back to the hotel and rode home... I got back right on time... 

The friend stayed for about 45 minutes and had to leave... and then I started working on these forms that a shipping company needs in order to release the Amazon goods that my brother had ordered... what a headache... 

The day was so hot... that made it easier for me to NOT BE OUT RUNNING... And looking at the weather, it's going to be hot all week... I'm grateful... I haven't hit my step goal for the last 5 days... especially since I've spent most of my time READING... and enjoying that tremendously... My knee is feeling much better... So, we will see how much longer...

This evening I had my Revelation in person Bible study. What a wonderful group of sisters...

Isaiah was home... 

I came home and got a few things done and read in bed... I just love it!

Feasting Sunday

Yes... it's true... I got up and after my time with Jesus, I headed out to the Metropolitan Hotel... that's where my brother is staying... it's about a 25 minute scooter ride... remember: I ride slow... 

He gave me one of his room keys and I swiped to go in for the breakfast buffet... I barely touched 1/7 of all that was served... Isaiah or Alan should be eating here... they had Egg Benedict or rather an "EGG SPECIALTY BAR"... where the chef will make whatever you'd like to your liking... poached eggs or sunny side up or omelette... then they had a noodle bar... and a congee bar and a sushi bar and a salad bar and... ok, you get the idea... 5-star hotel buffet breakfast. I enjoyed the time but it finished at 10am... 

So, I headed to church for the Young Adults Group... it was only Isaiah and I. I did bring things for a gal to pick up and she arrived, late, but at least she did show up... she's from the Buy Nothing group.

We finished at 12:15 and I headed home to do a load of laundry and to bake a banana cranberry cake for Love Cafe. I had already set everything up before leaving... Only the coffee and tea need to be made...

I was home by 1pm and Isaiah went for a massage... two hours! 

He led worship and I was the MC and the translator for the speaker... The message again was just superb. Click the link below to watch it!

I was home by 8pm... 

I blogged, got things ready for the week... and went to bed early... I was tired!

What A Saturday!

I was up... and I knew the day was going to be packed... 

For one thing, my brother was arriving from Malaysia and we planned to have dinner together... 

OK... so... since I'm still resting from running... 

The morning flew by... with reading... and I'm getting back to Bible memory... Reading about the early church and how they 'sang' or talked about the word of God from memory have really ignited my heart to get back to memorizing verses...

Isaiah took off to meet up with Fenny and I had tutoring... 

When that was finished, I had a simple lunch and went to drop off things to a friend's house and help with tidying things up... And then I had an appointment for a two hour massage with Ms. Hsieh... 

I came home to take a quick shower and then met up with my bro... He went and bought the food and we enjoyed it together and then Isaiah and Fenny came late... it was fun... we finally took off at 8:30.

I was home to blog and get things ready for tomorrow.

He has free buffet breakfast at the hotel so I'm going to enjoy it... ha, ha, ha before going to the Young Adults group. That's tomorrow... which I will write about...

MOE Day

I was up... and yes, the clouds welcomed my greetings...

Isaiah left for work... and soon after that, I took off... I try to get to work before 9am.

Today, we finished the booklet that needed editing... and I still had time to check the news and read. Again, a delightful day!

At around 4:45, I received a message... NO TUTORING... YEAH! I was so thrilled... I can even express the happiness... I wanted to be home and just read... chill... 

So, I was home by 6:10... and ate dinner... blogged... and relaxed...

Prayer at 8:45... 

Isaiah went to another baseball game... 

Oh... My brother messaged me... He's here from September 12 to the 24th, so we're meeting up for dinner tomorrow night... ha, ha, ha... And supposedly, he might be coming more often to Taiwan... for his new business venture...
