Tough situations build strong people

I was so pissed last night.
You see, whenever I take my bath, I always have my BlackBerry with me. I listen to music using it. So like always, I went to bath last night with my BlackBerry.

I placed it on the top of the water tank of the loo.
I was sitting on the toilet bowl, oh goshhhh.
Do I have to explain really detail on this???

Ya, it was like that, when my phone suddenly vibrated and the next thing I knew, it hit my back and dropped directly into the toilet bowl. And it all happened while I was doing my number two. Get it??

Oh grossss

I was dumbfounded by that. I just freeze, staring blankly ahead at the wall. Didn't know what to do. I just got up and stared at the toilet bowl thinking whether to save the phone or to just flush it down.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just picked the phone as quickly as I could, then washed it many many times using whatever shower cream, shampoo I have.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Tears rolling down on my face. Seriously. It was dead. My BlackBerry is dead.
Already dead.
My BlackBerry.
I remember washing it last night, I took out the sim card and threw it away. I tried to dry my phone. Damn it.

Why oh why

And this morning I found out BlackBerry Key2 is already release.
Isn't this like a prophecy for me to buy the latest BlackBerry? At least that was what my friend told me when I told her about this incident.
I just hate using the latest phone I have now.
Maybe BlackBerry isn't the same as the previous BlackBerry with BB10, but it still carries the name, the label.
How I wish BlackBerry phone still carries its BB10 together... It makes my life easier. Seriously.

*Update*
Remember when I told about my student on my previous post? About her family, her father who was bedridden after getting a stroke and needed to get a surgery as soon as possible? She's doing my subject this semester. And sad news, her father passed away one or two weeks ago after the surgery. When I asked her, he died in coma or did he regain his conscious after the surgery?
She said, no, he did not. He died in coma. I felt sad hearing that. But I guess, she shouldn't feel sad because she already fulfill her duty as a child. I told her, condolence. So now it's time for her to focus on her study. I hope she will always stay strong with whatever things she has to go through.

GOOD FRIDAY, MARCH 30TH, 2018

Just finished attending Good Friday mass at Carmelite Chapel. Now waiting for my cousin to fetch me. Feeling light after the mass. Got to do the veneration of the cross too. Really thank you, God, for giving me this time.

Called my mom too few seconds ago. The celebration of Paschal at our village will be fantastic. They already start doing preparation for today till Sunday. I haven't celebrate Holy Triduum at my village for quite some time. Years, I guess, since am based in this city. Maybe next year or years to come. Hopefully am still breathing by the time. Hehehe

This year too celebrated with my cousin, Aci, and her family. This is the second year, I guess, since I attend at Carmelite. Before this I went to Cathedral. But then, I tried to make my Good Friday more personal, hence I found my place here at Carmelite. It's more to me time. Something like that.

The weather behaves well today. Hopefully it will be sunny and calm for the rest two days till Sunday.

Anyway, have a blessed Good Friday to those who celebrate.

Aaaaa.... Feeling overwhelmed. And in the same time feeling sad for it almost comes to an end... And feeling empty.....

Nonetheless, feeling grateful for being able to breath the Holy Triduum airs this year.
Thank you, Lord, for keeping me alive.

Have a blessed Holy Week (2018), everyone!

Lent almost comes to end..
Good Friday falls on this Friday, March 30th, 2018..

Me? Am feeling sad. I didn't do much this year. Feel like I miss the opportunity to fulfill my duties as a Catholic. Seriously.

Crisis. 

That's what I called it. 

Am just an ordinary human. You can't expect me to be devoted all the time. 

There are times where I just don't have faith, I don't believe in anything. Not even in God. 
There are times where I really holding onto my faith. 
Feeling like a part time Catholic. That's the exact word to describe me and my faith. 
It's like a roller coaster ride. 

I have no ideas why people keep on saying am faithful to my faith. I don't know the "faithful" is referring to what exactly. Even I don't consider myself as one. I know myself very well. 

But I know one thing for sure.

I'm really grateful for what I am today. I always told myself, God loves me too much that He keeps on giving me challenges to test me. Sometimes I failed, and there were times I made through it all. 
As for this year's Lent...........*sigh*

I don't know. You know the purposes of Lent? Go for confessions, doing charities or alms giving, fasting, praying and so on.. So just lets say I only fulfilled maybe one or two of the purposes. You know it was like, before this, I went all out and then suddenly as times passing by, I went down to almost zero. It's kinda sad... Am feeling sad for myself.

Anyway, it's Wednesday. It's Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday) today.

It was on this day that Judas betrayed Jesus. Jesus got betrayed, just for that 30 silver pieces.. 
How materials could turn one's to start a betrayal upon someone else....

Isn't it sad? 
What will you give me if I betray Him to you? 

May this be a lesson to us, humans, too. 

And the number 4 always makes my tears rolling down on my face.
"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?"

Whenever they sing this part during Psalm, I really try hard not to sob.

Have a blessed Holy Week, everyone.
