Confession

I just would like to share this confession of Blaire to a priest:



Blair: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It's been... a while since my last confession.
Priest: What troubles you, my child?
Blair: [sighs] After being broken up with my boyfriend for exactly twenty minutes, I succumbed to inebriation, performed at a Speak-Easy, and surrendered my virtue to a self-absorbed ass. The only good news is that he's a total pig who'll act like it never happened, thank God.
Priest: Ahem.
Blair: Sorry. Truthfully, I'm not even Catholic.
Priest: [sarcastically] You don't say?
Blair: But losing my virginity to Chuck Bass? None of my friends will ever understand. I'm ready for my punishment. Whatever you and God think is fair. Flogging, fasting, putting that thing with the teeth around my thigh like Silas.
Priest: How about some food for thought instead? Don't drink, keep your clothes on, try avoiding those who might cause you to stray.
Blair: Oh, I plan to. Thank you, Father. That was very good advice.[gets up but comes back]Blair: You don't grant birthday wishes, do you?
Priest: I'm a priest, not a genie.
Blair: Well, the next time you talk to Him, would you ask Him to send my boyfriend back to me?

Annual Eucharistic Procession

Being a school believing in Opus Dei, it's a tradition for us to have the annual Eucharistic Procession. It starts at our school's chapel, Stella Orientis. After that, there will be a procession lead by the head priest holding the Eucharistic cross. Since I'm now a sophomore student at University of Asia and the Pacific, I have witnessed the procession twice. But during my freshman year, I wasn't able to join the procession. I was just a spectator way back then. Hehe.

But what I love most about the procession are the flower petals being arranged as letters and figures. Here are some of them. :D

2012, Is It Really the End of the World?

Last night, after my Biology Laboratory class which normally cuts off at 12pm, I and my love decided to watch 2012. Yes, I know it's really late to watch this film because it has been shown in the movie theaters for weeks now but we just gave it a try.

In the movie, I adored the black guy, Chiwetel Ejiofor.

I was really struck by what he said when the officials don't want to let the people outside enter the ship because they really lack time. He said, "Humanity means to care for each other and Civilization means to work together. If that's the case, there's nothing human and civilized with what we're doing." Yes, I really memorized his line because it made an impact for me. I was deeply touched by that line.

All in all, I may say that the effects was great. It really made me feel that I'm in the movie. Only, there are some incongruities found. One was when the White House was about to fall. It was shown that it had lights inside when I think, if that's the current scenario, power supply will automatically be cut-off.

I love the movie. It makes us all think the "What if" question. What if 2012 will really be the end of the world? And I want to end my post by saying what the priest had told in his sermon last Sunday. "Please watch 2012, I greatly recommend it". It's something to think about. Why would a priest recommend 2012? Is it really in the Bible? It's for us to ponder on.

Just pondering..

Sometimes in love, we get hurt and get a wound so deep. Always, they say, it happens sometimes. But I don't think getting hurt in love only happens sometimes. For me, once you've loved a person, you'll get hurt ALWAYS as long as there's care and concern for that person. This is because it's human nature that we search for love. And no matter how many times they say that if we love, we should not expect anything in return, we will always EXPECT something in return of our love. And once that person we love start not to care about us, that's the time we start getting hurt. There's no one to blame if we expect something from the one we love because from the very start, they've shown us ultimate care. We get used to it, we carry it on in our lives everyday and once the CHANGE starts, we should also not blame anyone, not even ourselves. For we only loved. We only loved.

Love Requires No Age

Behind every little girl's dream is to marry a man who will love him through thick and thin, for who she is and no matter what. She dreams about her wedding day wherein she will be dressed in white, feeling like she's floating while she's walking down the isle. The man of her dreams will take her to the altar and exchange vows with her. That's a typical story for a 27 year old woman.

But 9-year-old Jayla Cooper didn’t have a lifetime to wait for Mr. Right. The Southlake, TX, girl had been battling leukemia for two years, a battle that would end in just a matter of weeks. But what Jayla did have was a groom. He’s her best friend, Jose Griggs, 7, a fellow patient at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. Jayla and Jose tied the knot in February 2009 to fulfill her final wish: Getting married in a beautiful wedding, surrounded by family and friends. From the flowers to the banquet hall, donations poured in to give a North Texas bride the wedding of her dreams. Jaila died on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.

It's true that love requires no age. It's pretty amazing how this couple made the most out of their lives. They look happy, indeed!

Question: Could kids be married at a young age as long as they have the permission of their parents?

I miss you, Kuya

Years before, the month of November has not been so important to me. I know this is the month wherein we celebrate "All Saint's Day" and "All Soul's Day" but I guess in that span of years, no one had died that I had really been close to. But since last year, I became one of those who celebrate it in the cemetery. Yes, I visited my dearest brother who became my first boy friend and best friend.

It has been a couple of years when he died yet the pain in my heart still linger. I can still remember how he gave me advices, crack jokes and rarely scold me for being stupid. And it still hurts me every time I remember how he laughs. There will always be a special place in my heart for you, Kuya. I miss you so much!

How to Buy Babies and Toddlers

Eversince I had my own niece, I became fond of children. And did you know that my niece is the person who received the most expensive gift I had ever gave? It's not so expensive, it's only a talking Barney worth P1000. Since then, I got to love children stuffs because they are cute and I already felt like buying some for my own child in the future.

But I think that strolling in the mall is so tiring and since I earn money online, why don't I try shopping online, too? I think Shopwiki for Babies and Toddlers is a great online shop. It sells the most affordable online stuffs for your children. They sell strollers, bags and carriers, travel and outdoor stuffs,nursing and feeding stuffs. I love the stuffs that I saw here and I'm willing to buy if I get the chance and more money, I guess.

Shopping online is really easy and not so tiring unlike strolling along the mall. You don't get tired and at the same time, you can have fun.
