Whirlwind Weeks of March
Friday, March 30, 2007
When March came in, I thought it was going to be an ordinary month.
That I would just work everyday, play poker and hangout with A and our friends on weekends, and wait for summer to come.

Boy, was I so dead wrong. Because March came in quietly and slowly built up to a whirlwind.
And now as March is leaving, the wind is slowly dying down and I am happy. I am ecstatic that A and I went on this wonderful ride.

So what is the fuss all about? A dream that A and I shared was finally fulfilled. Everything just happened at its own time and everything just fell into place that up to now, I can't believe it happened. A dream that I didn't expect to come so soon.

Friends, I am soooo happy and excited to say...

That I can now cross off item no. 1 on my wish list: A two bedroom condo unit at Bonifacio Global City.

A and I just made our reservation fee last Monday, 26 March 2007.

We're officially adults. After four years, we finally made it come true.


More detailed stories to follow. =)

Lenten Sacrifices
Friday, March 09, 2007
In pre- dominantly Catholic countries, the Lenten season is taken seriously. As a practice, Catholics, during Lenten season, make sacrifices either through fasting or abstinence, just like Jesus Christ did for 40 days. Back then, it was a practice that Catholics to abstain from meat every Friday. This was the practice I grew up with. Oh, how I dreaded Fridays when we would have fish for lunch and dinner (I always skipped breakfast anyway). Upon reaching college, the "rules" have changed. You can now eat meat every Friday. The only days you can't eat meat are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. (I honestly don't know who makes these rules.) Anyway, though meat is allowed in one's diet during the Lenten season, Catholics think of other ways to fast and abstain. Some give up on smoking for 40 days. Some give up on junkfood. Others give up on chocolate or desserts. They usually give up something they really love.

So what did I give up for Lenten season?

Fighting with A. For 40 days and nights, until Easter Sunday, I cannot get mad at him.

And what did A give up for Lenten season? (Well, I'm not sure if he really gave it up but I dictated that he does.)

He gave up annoying me for the next 40 days and nights.

Works so far! It's a win- win situation!
