of confessions and joke times

waah.. Absent again!! My absences are becoming alarmingly habitual..hmm.. have to do something about it.. i do really have to make a major change in my life if i want to accomplish all my goals..

Can you touch your future? - Father "I forgot his name" mentioned that in our recollection yesterday. He made us close our eyes and try reaching for our future using only our hands. Of course that was impossible. How can I touch my future that way?

That recollection again made me realize so many things.. Like, life is too short <-though I've realized this one long time ago->.. I also found out that we cannot touch our future nor see it, but we can always do something if we want our future to be the way we wanted it to be.

Plan for tomorrow but live for today, I remember Katz telling me that. Some people kase tend to plan so much for the future, they forget living. But I do the opposite. I live everyday as if it is going to be the last day of my life and never plan for my future. Which is a bad thing too.. After the recollection, I realized that I should do what Katz had told me. Plan for tomorrow but live for today. I'll definitely try to do that Katz!! Definitely.

Hahaha.. I remembered, something really funny happened yesterday in the recollection. AS part of the activity, we were given a chance to receive the sacrament of confession. And I think the solemn sacrament turned to a joke time for both me and the father from which I received the sacrament. It goes like this..

me: father, forgive me for I have sinned. My last confession was last year, on a recollection like this one too.
father: okay.
me: uhmm..(Im not good in oral communications, both english and tagalog, i always buckle) father pede po ba magtagalog?
father: oo naman iha, Filipino ako.
I smiled, at least I can speak in my native language
me: father naging super bad girl po ako this past year. as in super bad girl talaga.
father: as in super? *laughing*
he was laughing at me so somehow I felt at ease, I always feel nervous everytime I confess to priests.
me: yes father, super.
then i recited all the sins I have committed, atleast those I can remember

father: super bad girl ka noh *still in teasing mode*

the confession turned to a joke time for both of us, as I look around us (there were lots of priests and students confessing), we were the only pair laughing and talking as if I am no confessing my sins and asking for forgiveness. But I tell you, that confession was not worthless, it may seem like a joke time to some, as it probably was, still I learned a lot from that priest whom which I forgot to asked his name. Though we were joking around, he was able to give me sound advices and all. SO the confession was a success.

Well, after the recollection dash, Jhapi, Jamie and I went to Starbuck T.Morato. Chitchat and bonding moments, then we met up with John at Sm N.Edsa for another rounf of chitchat and bonding moments. I got home at around 8pm. I was so tired, and maybe that was one of the reasons why I had asthma this morning.

Hay, got to go and rest. I'm feeling nauseous.. and I still have to study later because tomorrow is exams day. We have exams in all our subjects.

Byebye!
