HAPPY EASTER TO YOU! and you. and you. and you... hahaha...

here's a recount on how my Easter Triduum was spent:

on Maundy Thursday, it was the music ministry's first ever pnw session and gosh, did I have to end late for it was my own fault that I didnt do my econs hw which was due! ha what's new, gen? and because of that, our last min pract was postponed to an hour later. then there was mass, and after mass, we went back up to salt room to continue with our rehearsals but the crowd's noise made me feel even more uptight 'cause I couldnt hear what eunice was playing at all. blah! nevetheless, the spiritual prep session got me back on track before the real thang and I was feeling lifted during it (actually). haha! KUDOS TO GF! (: and PTL! I'm proud to say that we pulled it off for the first time. I could gather that most people were surprised that gabe could sing - and I wonder why. :/ the session ended with the lentern vigil in the main church when the Cross was wrapped up in purple robe. sigh. it felt different to be seated in the congregation without the Cross to face and an empty tabernacle; everything ahead was mere darkness - I'd lost my purpose when it seemed like Jesus wasnt there...

woke up really early on friday morning, rushed back home to get changed and headed back to church for the Good Friday's service at 10am. I've nvr noticed the crowd that His Passion would draw, really. there were non-believers who came! and the church was overflowing! AMEN! (: anw, while we're reflecting upon the stations, my gosh, it seemed like every line was spoken directly at me! it almost made me tear buckets. oh and the fasting part was simply unbearable! I'm aware that I shouldnt be complaining but, damn! hungry gen is an angry gen! hahaha.

I had math tuition at 8am to 11am on saturday morning - I could hardly pay close attention 'cause I've been thinking of dropping out. eeks. but it's true! after that, I badly needed to do smth drastic to myself so I went to a random salon near my block to thin the back and cut my fringe. ha!!! I think I look AWESOMEly STRANGE. muaha. I like it; and it's all that matters. blah! later on, I met up with gf and maureen to catch "Take the Lead" - AH HA! I give it "fingers and toes UP!" LOL. I hurried down to mj after the movie to grab the soundtrack before making our way to church for the easter vigil. lalala. it was so fun receiving all sorts of comments from everyone whom I know abt my easterhairdo! whee! some of the facial expressions were classic I swear! ((:

finally, came Easter sunday! cantored for the 9am mass and it felt like it was my best piece thus far - no hiccups, didnt feel breathless and I was audible! ha. betcha it was the prayer that helped. PTL! heehee. came back early after brunch to complete the piles of hw that's due tmr... grunts. I'm taking an extra long break to type this and at the same time catching up with henry(he complimented on my new hair! yayness! haha) and dodo.

have a nice week ahead, reader.
