Excited for Easter?
You bet. And one of the reasons is the 1st PBA Ateneo-La Salle Showdown. I just hope that Ateneo wins para hindi sayang...
Proceeds of this game will go to the scholarship fund of the children of former PBA players. Tickets are still available at Ticketnet.

But anyway, let's make use of the non-working days to reflect and appreciate Christ. During lunch time today, I was kind of ranting to an officemate about not being allowed to join my friend to Bora this Holy Week. She told me something really nice and enlightening. She said:
"Isipin mo na lang na ang hindi mo pagsama ang ultimate sacrifice mo."
She's right. Our family tradition is not to spend the Holy Week in festive vacations. We'd rather spend it at home in Bulacan or at my mom's hometown in Bicol, where we attend to the local parish's activites like prusisyon, Seven Last Words, washing of the feet, etc.
This year is extra special coz my dad was invited to be one of the 12 Disciples so as members of his family, we'll be with him in the activities where he's required to be present. It's also nice that Krissy recognizes Christ and the value of "celebrating" this season solemnly.
I have already prepared myself to the occassion by going to confession last week. Hopefully, I get to follow a good advice from the confessor: to avoid the persons and/or things that cause me to sin (aka temptations).
Amen. =)
