I want to take a moment to just appreciate what I’ve got, even if it’s not much right now. Being able to get lunch today has made me really happy. Many of you know by now, it doesn’t take a lot to make me content. It’s these little things that most of us often take for granted. Certainly not me. Not anymore. Because of my restricted budget at the moment (allocating most of what I’ve been receiving to supporting my family), I’ve figured that I have to strategize my meals for the week. I can’t eat everyday, so I’ll have to do it on alternate days. I’m thinking Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That should help get me through the week. Unless something changes drastically, this could remain the same for the immediate future (at least for the next few weeks).

On the other plus side, I was able to convince my freelance client to issue me an advance of S$300.00. Which also means that now I just need to raise another final S$200 to make up on my shortage of what’s needed. According to my most immediate concerns/commitment, I need S$500.00, that’s why.

I’ve been following up with a few of my known contacts, sharing the screenshot of the conversation in the hopes of being transparent and genuine. But I don’t really know if any of them would be willing to help me with what I needed. I guess that’s also the reason why I wanted to title this blog post as “by the grace of god”. I know that a lot of what is happening today, right now, is only because of His grace.

Honestly, I can only hope that what I’ve done so far is enough. Enough to convince some of those contacts to lend me a hand.
