Aspirations: I Wish To Do This, I Wish to Do That! That's what you get when I am in a contemplating mood...
I used to read an article or maybe have heard it from the priest's gospel that people asked God to add one more hour each day because they could not give time to Him as it is so limited given 24 hours only. And so there was 25 hours for each day... But still, people kept on consuming that 25 hours for the things they usually have done and still, no time for the God.

I remember this particular comparison as I know exactly that this happens. If I would have 25 hours a day, I know for sure that there would be no change as to the current situation: there is always time constraints in everything. Why can't we have two bodies instead? But with this, I know for sure that our respective load of work or activities would also be doubled, so what's the point?
Currently, I have to divide my 24 hours daily from:
1. 8-hour work
2. 2-travel time
3. 1-tutorial time
4. 8-sleep
5. 5 for the time to read books, blog, drop, time for myself and special someone
6. saturday is a bit more flexible, i sleep more, relax more, surf and read more.
7. 2- church and church ministry (lector, etc) on sundays..
The thing is, the first three are almost unadjustable. If I want to do something, it would be a trade between sleeping sleeper and doing that thing. The problem is, I want to do many things but the time limit makes me ask myself if Ican do them.... I want to read more, be away from computer, just relax, exercise, run, study Dutch and a lot more things... I want to update this blog as often as possible and other three blogs that I have. But due to time constraints, I cannot do all... How I wish I can... How I wish I can do this and I can do that... Sigh... Human's helplessness!

9 additional ideas:
ouch, guilty ako... we did not go to church today... Sorry Lord! Buti ka pa may 8 hours sleep ako laging 4-5 hours lang..
Sis may tanong lang ako about EC, pag wala bang drop na word sa widget, do this means that your click don't have credit?
nothing probably will be change even if we ask another hour from God, not unless if a person is dying and needs another hour just to spend more time with his loved ones before living...
Whenever I'm in such mood, I'll just remember Nike's slogan! *laugh*
Merry Christmas sisterette!
Well this time of the year is when we all take stock of the year gone by and form new resolutions for the coming year!
Now imagine if the day was just 20 hours. I am sure most of our important activities would still fit into that. Now try to add four bonus hours to that and see what more you can achieve. Ha ha now I am advising you....first let me try it. As you say we humans can stretch into anything we get. We are expandable type of animals.
no matter how busy, i make it a point to pray the rosary everyday.
have a blessed new year!

Work Expands to fill time available for its completion and 48 hour day too will leave us insufficient hours. We have become resource hungry and time hungry.Thanks for sharing your honest opinion. It was very refreshing.
I love your blog and its layout. Awaiting more posts.
