mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually

I have so many things to blog about and I'll start a day at a time. I've been reflecting because I've been going to church everyday and now that the novena of the holy spirit has started I get to reflect more about my life, mentally, physically, emotionally and mostly spiritually. Most of my friends and batchmate are aboard as in not currently in Brunei, some like anne Marie will be coming to Brunei on June cause that's when summer ends in the uk but by that time I'll be no longer here cause thats when school starts in the philippines and some like bob who's in Brunei but at seria and is busy with exam and everything school related and Nick went to seria to go teach, Mae left but atleast I get to spend some time with her and she was right.. its so hard to go around brunei if you don't have a car and if you don't know how to drive. it's hard to take the public transportation here. so basically the timing of my arrival to Brunei is not a good one. anyways I haven't been out of the house much. basically I go out of the house to go to mass and thankfully the mass starts at 6pm on the weekdays and 6:30 on Saturday and 5:30 pm mass on Sunday which means that I don't have to wake up early and it's not too hot to go out of the house =) by now you probably can tell that I'm being a bum cause I don't wake up early or in the morning in some cases. that's the life without an alarm clock! I sometimes overslept and get a big headache when I woke up.   though my timming of coming back to Brunei is not a great one, considering the circumstances it's still the best vacation ever cause my get to spend it with my family even though my brother isn't around, he's still in the Philippines because his new passport isn't ready yet so he doesn't have one and couldn't fly, I get to spent it here in this beautiful and peaceful country which I called home for 17 years ever since I was born, I get to go to church and pray everyday and pray the novena of the holy spirit, I completed the 9 days novena last year and sadly I couldn't complete it this year because I'll be flying back on it's fifth day =( again wrong timming! but at least when I go back to the Philippines I'm spiritually rich and armed. my mind has been blank and cleaned for a month to absorb the upcoming and harsh details and facts that medical school has to throw at me. yes I'm expecting the worst. at least I'll be prepared. so that covers the spiritually and mentally side. for the physical side i've been eating well. my parents has been serving really great food ever since I got here and I do miss especially the food in Brunei when I'm away. I get to eat Singapore chicken rice, Nasi lemak, nasi katok, satay, murtabak, dim sum and get to eat at escapade! I've been eating salmon and I couldn't eat that in the Philippines cause I heard it's expensive and hardly see it in the supermarket heck I hardly go grocery when I'm in the Philippines. it's all about fast food there so me being here is like a cleansing process where I get the nutrients I need and the vitamins by having alot fruits at home and slowly finishing them while watching tv. for emotionaly as usual, dead. I try not to get emotionaly involved even with myself it's the one area that I'm the least comfortable about. emotionally I would like to think that I'm fine =) my days in Brunei are numbered! =s
