Moment 1: Today I was supposed to hear the 6:30 pm Mass in a nearby church. But I got too happy watching vids and playing Internet games. I turned off the computer at exactly 6:30 and told myself that it’s okay to be 15 minutes late. When I finished dressing up, it’s already 7.
Moment 2: I aimed for the 7 pm Mass. I told myself that it’s okay to be 15 minutes late. I rode a jeep to church no. 2 and paid 20 pesos. I was expecting a 13 peso change, but the driver told me to wait for it. When the church was just around the corner, I asked for the change, but he was snubbing me. So, I raised my voice. He asked for 2 pesos, I was then expecting a 15 peso change. I pulled the string to make the jeep stop, grabbed my change, and jumped off the jeep. I opened my hand and got 5 freaking pesos.
Moment 3: I easily get dizzy when I stand too long. Guess who fainted during his grade school graduation because his fellow graduates, and their parents, were so in the zone marching?! Ehem. Anyways, because I was late for the Mass, I had to stand at the back of the church. I thought I was strong. I expected to finish the Mass strong. But I got dizzy towards the end. Read: hazy eyesight, hot ears, and weak knees. Good thing I found an extra space where I can kneel. I faked praying, and told myself to breath, you are strong. Then, I opened my eyes and found a vacant seat. I took the seat and hoped to be fine to receive the communion. When I thought I was okay. I walked towards the lay minister. And that’s when he turned his back and went back to the altar. Oh yeah!
Moment 4: Today is the Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin, Body of Christ). I didn’t understand the homily because the priest was old and gibberish. And out of everything that seemed like a rant, this was the only one that made sense: “When you give everything to a person, you expect to be given everything back. But as Christians, we should be selfless like our Lord Jesus Christ.” I was like, “Oh yes, father! Let’s talk about giving everything, and being selfless.”
Moment 5: Mama and Papa were watching a feature on Manila Ocean Park earlier. Obviously, they were showing swimming fishes. I don’t know what my father saw, but I heard him protest, “Oh! Ginagataan yan ah!” I wonder what fish that was. Kinunot na pagi? O kinunot na pating?
Moment 6: My new play list includes, ‘I Don’t Trust Myself (With Loving You)’, but I think ‘1234’, so please ‘Give Me a Chance’, because I want you to be my ‘Everything’. FTW!
That’s all folks! I’m back!
