Honestly, I want to be a more "active" Catholic kaya gusto ko sanang magsimba at magpalagay ng abo bukas kaso may pasok si Ford kaya hindi kami makakaalis ng bahay ni Tantan. There's a church nearby (2 minute-drive pero mahaba-habang lakarin) kaso it will be very cold tomorrow. Uulan yata at magi-snow, mahirap lalo na at may kasamang bata.
So naisip ko na magparticipate na lang "personally." Narealize ko na never kong inobserve ang abstinence from eating meat during Ash Wednesday and all fridays of lent (I am not a good Catholic, I know) kaya sisimulan ko na talaga ngayon. Yung fasting, medyo ginagawa ko naman na talaga normally kasi I only eat one full (rice) meal a day tapos small portions na lang throughout the day. Ayon sa Catholic law, dapat daw one full meal plus two smaller meals (that together don't add up to a full meal) so I will try to abide by that. Except nga lang kapag nag-low sugar ako (which happened to me yesterday) syempre.
Sana mapangatawanan ko ito. Madali lang ito for most people pero carnivore kasi talaga ako at meat ang pinakamadaling lutuin/bilihin/kainin dito sa Canada eh.
I am glad that I will be celebrating the Holy Week again in the Philippines (three consecutive years na). This might be the last for the meantime kasi mag-school na si Nathan come September at hindi na kami makakauwi ng Pinas around this time. I am excited. Kahit mainit, susubukin kong gawing meaningful at memorable ang 2019 lenten season experience namin.
