Happy Valentine's Day
One minute to go before Valentine's Day is officially over--at least, in my side of the world...Happy Valentine's Day sa ating lahat!
To all those who greeted me--my sisters; my close friends, Jayce, Ate Sharl and Wowie; and of course, my blog-friends: Mommy Neng, Doc Nikki, Melai, Fay, Mommy Lei, Mommy Ann, Ghie, i.n., Sis Elln, Ate Malaine, Nang Ethel, and Lauren--THANK YOU for remembering me!
Mommy Neng, thank you so much for the card! *HUGS* from Chicago! :)

I had a quiet Valentine's Day celebration. Wala akong ka-date...kasi wala dito ang nagpapatibok ng puso ko...charing! I had to work pretty much the whole day, so I had a pre-Valentine's Day celebration of sorts yesterday. What did I do? Nothing much. I took time out to be "kind" to myself--I slept till early in the afternoon without feeling guilty about it afterward, haha. I also passed by a Native American center I once worked with to visit the people there (pang-thank you ko na rin sa kanila because two community leaders spoke in my class on February 9th). Then I mailed my letters (which I worked on all weekend), as well as some birthday and Valentine's cards and books, to my friends in CIW. I knew they were gonna celebrate the Foundation Day of CIW, as well as the annual Ms. Correctional pageant (o diba, san ka pa?!), on Valentine's Day, so I sent them a text message through one of the guards to greet them and wish the "candidates" good luck.
Today, I worked my butt off, pretty much. I taught at my school, then at the community college, so wala akong boses pagkatapos, grabe. After my last class, I went straight to my school's literacy center, where I teach English to a Chinese immigrant once a week. So ang ka-Valentine ko, mga estudyante ko. It's all good, though. My student at the literacy center gave me chocolates, which was really sweet of her :)
After I finished my volunteer work at the literacy center, I went to Mass. Ang ganda ng homily! And it turned out the priest also worked at a prison in the past, so he drew upon his experience. Siyempre, naka-relate ako. So...ayun, ka-Valentine ko rin pala ang Diyos...Siya lang yata nagtiyatiyaga sa 'kin, hehehe :)
Gosh, I'm turning into a full-blown manang. Ako ba 'to?! *shakes head*
I may not have a significant other right now, but I'm happy and at peace. I'm single, but I can be there for the people I love--my family, my friends, and the indigenous people and inmates who have become so close to my heart. And that means the world to me.

Hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day celebration! Stay in love, spread the love! Take care, everyone!
