There is more to life than this.

Writing on walls

Inspired by Stef’s Truth Thursdays. I can never get the day right though…

When I was in preschool, my family lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Sampaloc. My mom had all the walls painted pristine white in the belief that this would make the place look bigger. Of course my brother and I immediately grabbed pencils and crayons and started scribbling on those walls. Aside from the spanking that followed, I can barely remember what I wrote. I think we mostly did drawings. My favorite drawing subject was a shining sun that my dad said resembled a roasted potato with sticks poking out in all directions. Artistically talented I am not.

The walls surrounding me in my boardinghouse are also glaringly white and blank. My tiny room was allergy-proofed by my mom, so that must be why the color scheme is the same. Writing these on my walls is very very tempting….

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

I love to teach.

I have more than enough.

Wake up.    WAKE UP.  gising! Wake up.    WAKE UP. bangon.    Gising.

    I drew on the ceiling, cause I was bitten by a radioactive graphic artist as a child. Amateurs. bah.

    Kidding. I drew on paper. Bunch of brats you all are.
