Sacrifice

Since the Misa de Gallo started, my husband has been attending the same every day.
Thus he wakes up early at around 3 am and rushes to the church to attend the mass.
For several years now, he had completed the 16 daily masses before Christmas. We Catholics have a belief that if we can complete the same, any wish we make will be granted by God.
Last year, he completed also the Misa de Gallo and had his wish granted... his wish was that God would make me pass the bar.

I was not able to join him because i was and still am lazy to wake up that early. i cannot expect more from my body. i already lost my pituitary glad and after the operation, i have to take daily supplements for my thyroid hormones. This is just one of the reasons.

So the comment of my prayerful and devoted husband is that i never had a sacrifice for God.
Well, of course I objected. This fact has to be debated upon. And my God knows the deep reservoir of emotions i had kept inside. God knows my secret sacrifices and giant sacrifices in my life since childhood and i do not need to prove to anybody that i have one.

Sometimes i know i need to show more to my God that I need him.. But i Know that i need him and i cannot do anything without him.. Maybe I just have to tell him often that I do.. I really do.

Well, maybe I have to say it more often....

Daily Blog

I remember when I was in Gr. 4, after winning the Poem Writing Contest Elementary Category, i told myself that that was the beginning of my writing career. Further I decided at that time that I would write a diary everyday so that someday i would soon write my autobiography. Two decades and two Christmases passed by but until now, I have not started my daily chronicles. Although I did start a few blogs in 2006 or 2007 but it was not a daily blog.

Now that another yr. will say goodbye, it is now time for me to bake my own fresh resolution for the incoming year. And so i have to include again the extremely old one i promised myself.. that is the writing of the daily blog.

Here's hoping that procrastination will not get the better of me...
I will keep my fingers crossing for this.
Good luck to me.

Currently on research mode

Christmas is forthcoming and my mind is already in a vacation mode. i still have one client waiting to be released from prison but the Motion to reduce bail has not been approved yet. the court recently had a party and i have got to understand that they too like me are in the same boat...

I have two petitions to file this December and my mind is slowing to a halt. Maybe because for several years as a law student, we don't ration reading assignment for December. And now here I am. Busy...
