Starting All Over Again

I had a very happy and blessed day today. It may be April Fools but everything that happened today are real. And hopefully will continue as long as I live. Hahaha.

*Started my day eating Goto. I just requested for a lugaw (you now that’s my fave) but my loving mom cooked Goto. Sorry, I wasn’t able to live by my “meatless” week. But tom, I will for sure. 

*For lunch, we had Kare-Kare. Twas good but the bagoong isn’t as delish as Tita Evie’s.Yay, I suddenly remebered my Fun Run (for PE finals) last year wherein F feteched me in McDo Q. Ave and gave me the best lugaw (from Auring’s) I’ve ever tasted. Then after the Fun Run, he gave me a plastic of bagoong. If my memory is serving me right, bagoong was given because I was craving for mangoes then. And the bagoong you buy in the streets aren’t clean, so sure HEPA na yun according to him. 

*After lunch, I tuned in boob tube. Channel 2. Haha. There I was a tvc of One MOre Chance to be shown at 2:30pm. I patiently waited for that as I want to assess whether the movie will hit me in the bones. Well, I cried. I can so feel the emotions of the actors. Would I be super stupid to wish or to think that it’s the movie of my life? Maybe secretly, I am waiting for a One More Chance ending, too.

*The movie ended arounf 4:30pm so I just prepared for Visita Iglesia. The original plan did not materialize so I was left doing the visitations alone. 

*At 7pm, my Guiguinto churches list is complete. So I hailed a tricycle to drive me to the Seminary. My lola told me that inside the seminary are 5 churches already plus a confession session in the gym. So I only needed 2 more to complete—Pulong Gubat Church and San Ildefonso Church.

*My night started with a confession. Yes, finally! After 2 Lenten seasons, I was able to confess and to ask for God’s grace. Gee, I confessed everything. As in everything! I got a good sermon from the priest about not having to do “it” again as it is not for me. Yet. Of all the sins I had, missing on my Sunday obligation is the worst that I ever committed. I was asked to pray 3 Our Father and 3 Hail Mary, and to do a Visita Iglesia.

*On my 3rd church, I saw a familiar face. Twas Ate Grace! Haha. Of all places, sa Guiguinto pa. Knowing her, she’ll never let my “outfit” tonight pass without her having to make comment/s. Hahaha. I wore a long polo and shorts, and my malindi (Crocs). 

*I ended the ritual in San Ildefonso Church (our parish).  I have never felt so at home tonight as I spent all my life attending the Holy Eucharist there. Thanks you to my Alma mater, St. martin de Porres Catholic School for the great Christian values you have inculcated in me during my formative years.

I am determined not to commit sins. I will be good. I will let everything be behind me now. I am so looking forward to a better me. And a brighter future ahead.  Papa God,You are my cradle—I know that you will never leave me. Love, love, love.
