I woke up so early, it was just 2:00 am. I don't know I was not sleeping so well. I went to sleep late because I was hearing Kenneth calling his friends and they were talking loudly on the phone. I was about to sleep again when I heard Kenneth waking up at the other side, putting on the light. It was still 2:30am. He agreed with El to go for jogging. I was a bit irritated for this insensitivity, but I would rather keep my negative feeling in silence. I was trying to read something on the phone. Remained on my bed with eyes closed. By 4:00, I got up, took my bath and washed my clothes. I just waited for the clock to strike 5:00 am for the rosary. In silence, I was doing a lot of things, aside from physical preparations. I read, I reflected and made the bed and my room.

I love the rosary this morning. It was so solemn, I don't know why I had that kind of feeling. There was a feeling of sadness too. Today will be my last day, it would be my last mass with them too.
While I remained in the chapel after the lauds, Sr. Angie arrived and sat down with a very deep sigh, as if she has a very big problem. She started confiding to me things. I will not elaborate in here, as a priest, confessions are sacred.
I invited the whole community for lunch outside. We went to Cara's again, which I believe a very nice restaurant here, very descent and presentable. The food are so nice. I love the fried chicken, the chopseuy and sinigang. We had a great time, we were really fully up and they were so happy. It was a great bonding with them. I don't know if I will ever meet them again in the future.
Reaching home, I went for siesta again. As I have said this morning, I did not sleep well and I also woke up very early. It was a good one. I wish this stay would be longer, but I am also excited to rejoin my Comboni family for another journey.
9:20pm
We had a very nice mass, I said all the things that I wanted to say, full of emotion, very dramatic. I had my homily in a form of speech and thanksgiving, there were tears, especially Kenneth who was emotional in his sharing. I was touched of their kind words.
After dinner, we had our rosary with special intentions. It was so nice!
