When both of my sons were still in school, I worked eight hours at the U.S. Embassy in Manila and then proceeded to the taping site of my teleplay for _Lino Brocka Presents_ in some god-forsaken place, where I worked another six hours. I would get home at dawn and have only two hours sleep before rising again to go to the Embassy.

Whenever I walked through mny sons' bedroom at dawn, their radio would be on Veriutas, playing the family rosary being recited by a group.

To this very day, whenever I hear the risary being prayed by a group on Veritas, I think of my sons sleeping cozily in bed and imagine myself lying down and going to sleep myself, safe in the astral arms of the praying groups.

I am now overjoyed to be retired. Never will  I work 14 hours straight again, ever.
