The filling of application

Two days ago, that was Monday, January 10, 2010, I went to the Social Services Development Department as scheduled to file an application for a capital assistance for my little Art business. The aid is, actually, a grant, so no need for me to pay the amount, which is expected to be released this coming May 2010. Good if there won't be any problem like delayed release. Though I won't have to pay the amount of 3,000 pesos, but there will be a monitoring of my project. It's a good idea to minimize the chance of a person taking advantage of it by just doing nothing after receiving the amount.

At the moment, I felt comfortable to have done what I think needs to be done, and while waiting for that financial aid, I am already preparing to open my Art Exhibit to the public for a donation.

During the filling of the form, the question that gave me some moments before I was able to give the necessary information was about my food expenses. To be frank, for a month now, I barely spent money for my food. But if that is the case, how do I manage to stay alive? Too bad, the form won't accept explanation-it needs an amount. For water, electricity and the lot where I lived, I filled in "free." It couldn't be that for food, I would also say, "it's free." Well, I am indeed too fortunate, if someone has offered me that kindness. Because a normal person needs money to live I was forced to say 200 pesos a week, just to finish my application.

Back to the days when I was living on the streets and wanted to die, who could have thought that today I will be thinking of business, lectures, book publication, and websites. Although people are not proud of my present accomplishment-but it means a lot to me. If I am right with my conviction then what I have just started will branch out yet to greater fields of endeavor outside my present comprehension and capability. These days, I cherished the power of miracle and mystery-they endowed in me strength to go on from day to day.
