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.
