Say Cheese... Now Smile!

Today was a great day.. despite being awoken at 5am by mom who thought that sunrise Easter mass was at 6... but in reality it was at 7:30. Carlene and I were at our utmost geekiest today at mass because they choir started singing "Pan De Vida" and the both of us under our breaths cheered an obnoxious "YES!" because 1) this song was sung at EVERY Lucy's mass and it brought back the warm fuzzies and 2) we KNEW the words and the tune of the song. We've come to the conclusion that singing at Church is definitely the high point of going on Sundays and pogi points are ALWAYS given out to the choirs that sing songs that we know, like "Servant Song" or "On Eagle's Wings" and other old school songs. I really don't like it when I go to mass and I have NO idea what the song is and I can't sing along. It like the choir is being incredibly snobby and selfish and just don't want to share the gift of song with everyone else... ok... maybe THATS a bit harsh... This is all probably incredibly retarded to whoever is reading this and have no inkling what I'm talking about... but if you do... oh my gosh... you just might be a soulmate! ;)

After mass, ran some errands, took a quickie nap and woke up just when people started to arrive. :) Pretty much spent the day downstairs, watching basketball and reminincing with Mark, Myles, and Carlene. Our moms used to plan these crazy adventures for us along with the other Barkada kids... going trout fishing on a trout farm, cherry picking, picnics at the lake... but not anymore. I think that we're all pretty freaked out that we're *gasp* old. Well not OLD OLD... but finally at our ages. When we were younger, we really didn't have very deep conversations... it was your typical chatting about video games, childish banter, and of course late nights playing "dark spot." And now that we're older... I think we've reached a level in which we can talk about... well US and our own lives. Its nice to know that these friendships that started before birth will probably keep on going for a long time.

Mom is glowing. She said that her friends are happy for her and the house. She feels accomplished and successful for being able to get the house, decorating it, etc... Tita Fe said that the house was "warm" and I guess it means a lot for her to know that people can feel that warmth. :)

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! :) *muah*
