I'm currently watching the HARAPAN: ABS-CBN Senatorial Debate. Well, If I could just vote this coming elections, I'd definitely go for Bello, Hontiveros, and Tamano.
Anyway, enough about that. I passed the Ateneo Law Entrance Exam. To confirm my slot, I have to enroll later. I was actually so sure that I won't enter law school because I never imagined myself defending someone in court. Only the thought of wearing corporate attire everyday made me take the exam! Haha. However, just 4 hours before, Carmina PMed me and asked if I'd pursue law. Last Friday, Ate Vi was pushing me to enter law school and she shared how good it would be if I became a lawyer. So Carmina was helping me decide whether or not I should enter law school. I was actually kinda leaning more towards entering law school!
I wanted to discuss this thing with my parents. I want to try a sem of law school. If I didn't like it, then I'd leave. However, my dad didn't approve of this. He said that if I decided to enter law school, then I should finish it. Well, you know, it kinda hurt me. It seems like they weren't supporting whatever I had in mind. What's wrong with trying out 1 sem? It's not like I'm going to exhaust all our resources for a sem. What I wanted was to talk to my parents about this issue and not to discourage me from pursuing a sem. Plus, I don't think they feel the urgency of this matter. A 30-minute discussion (or less) with them would have been very helpful. Thank you parents.

Graduation and Holy Week
I have graduated from college and am now officially unemployed. Well, I'm looking for work but I'm not being pressured by my parents to work, so that is a good thing. Yesterday, I found out that I passed the Ateneo Law Entrance Exam! Waddup. Still, I won't pursue law simply because I don't think I am good in writing and speaking (debating).
The Holy Week is killing me. I'm so bored. The gym is closed. I have nothing to do. A while ago, my brother and I were fooling around in front of our mother. Well, I told him that we should not do the Visita Iglesia anymore. My brother started joking like, Huwag kalimutan ang Diyos, etc etc. My mother seconded the motion. She noticed daw that I wasn't recognizing anymore the presence of the Lord. She continued with saying that without the Lord, everything is impossible, etc. Well, mom, I was just joking.
But seriously though, unlike before (elementary or high school days), I oftentimes miss hearing the mass and even praying or thanking God for something! Well, I still am a Catholic but my exposure to the Jesuit priests made me prefer them over other priests. Like really, I prefer hearing the mass at the Pentecost Chapel in Varsity Hills because the presider is a Jesuit. Beautiful words always come from Jesuit priests. They properly address national issues, unlike normal priests. Lipa priests always tackle national issues but do not really prove a point. They say this is bad, and we should not do it but without clear explanation. They just go on explaining that it would be a sin to follow such acts.
Well, anyway. I can't be holy this holy week. Like tomorrow, we'll attend the procession and then pig out at a dinner buffet in our relative's house. This is actually a family tradition. So parents (especially mom), what happened to abstinence and fasting? We can go on and on telling everyone what to do and what not according to the Catholic tradition, but it would have been better if we shut our mouths up and just do whatever it is we are tasked to do. Or, do not pressure much on accomplishing traditions, just do not sin much? Like, do not do things that would hurt others. Haha. Wait, ang labo.
Anyway, visita iglesia tomorrow then procession at 5pm.
