That Beautiful Sunday

It was a long sunday.. but I definitely loved every single minute of it! So here's my ever awesome Sunday.. read and be enthralled!hehe

Mass at Lourdes Parish Church. I woke up at exactly 8 in the morning. It felt nice waking up knowing that there'll be a good day ahead of me. Anyways, knowing me (with all my rituals..haha), I had to double my time since the mass will start at 9:15am. FYI: We actually had this mass as a sign of our gratitude for all the prayers heard and wishes granted. Though we already revisited mostly of the churches we had during our Visita Iglesia prior to the board exam but yah know, it's still different when you offer a mass. That mass was also offered to our mates who'll also be taking the nursing board examination this coming Nov. 1&2 (seriously, they really need our prayers). Last week, invitations were sent to many of the successful June takers but sadly only a few made it to the mass. But I completely understand 'coz frankly speaking, many of us are already restricted by schedules that we aren't totally in control and not to mention the fact that many of our mates are now situated at their own provinces.. but I know in time.. one specific time in the future, all of us will see each other..will have a good long talk and laugh at those times of struggling and desperation!haha On the brighter side, surprisingly, our mates (Nov. takers) were also there to attend the mass. I could see the look of anxiety in their faces. I know how it feels coz I was once there and no matter how we convince them not to think much of the exam? It isn't gonna work 'coz we all know that the exam is risky.. and it's only sorted into two options - "the pass and fail buttons" and that mere fact gives chills to people who are about to take the board exam.

The Quick Huddle. After the mass, we decided to have a quick meeting regarding our plan to have our victory party. We all know that it's quite late already and it has been 48yrs since we passed the board but we still believe that we should have one.. that we deserve one! Sadly :-( , as mentioned above, people already have tight schedules and for that reason.. the planned party, as of now, is still very foggy. But personally? I really want this party to carry on 'coz this might be our last chance to see each other. The next one will be.. I really don't have any idea! Maybe 'yes' and maybe 'never again'.. but still I wish I know..",

At Jovel's Crib. At around 12pm, we left the church's premises and went to Jovel's place at Lapu2x and gatecrashed the birthday banquet of her sister. Indeed, the long travel (jeepney, ferryboat, and tricycle) was worth it. The food was superb and seriously! I was very full! We owed that to Jovel's mom!hehe After that great lunch, we stayed at Jovel's room and chitchatted about our recent updates in life.. about the working progress of our nursing career (which is by the way, stagnated as ever!hehe) and lots of stuffs that we missed out on each other. Seriously, we missed each other's company (te rodz, yan2x, che2x, jovel, and alin).

EcoTech. After visiting Jovel's place, we directly rode same public transportations mentioned above and went to the place where we used to have our in-house review. As we entered Ecotech, some sort of memories flashed back but I chose not to entertain them 'coz I'll only end up hurting myself from recollecting those happy, funny, and down moments inside the ecotech. In lieu to that, I greeted my friends whom I know are suffering from one of the greatest anxieties in their life. I offered some piece of advice but still I urged them to do it their way. i know for sure that no words can ever describe what they are feeling right now.. if they could only skip these days, certainly they would! But what they need right now are prayers! For in prayers, all things are possible!
