Last Sunday I wanted to write how affected I was about the Pope's death, about how my eyes would tear at the thought and how criminal it felt to be quite happy last weekend when the Pope was nearing death. Strange. I'm not the most religious person on earth, I have never met the Pope, but there is something about the Pope's presence and aura that makes me feel blessed just by seeing him. I remember 1995, waiting for the Pope just to pass by Roxas Boulevard and later on, see him wave from the Apostolic Nunciature (ack, I don't know what it's called!), that was quite enough to feel all the goodness. Until now, I really can't make sense about what I want to write about the Pope (so I'm just writing on fire). Don't you think the Pope gave the Church a human face that was not stern? He's the Pope I've known all my life and it's hard to imagine another pope with the same charisma, humility and sincerity that John Paul II had. It's truly an end of an era, especially for this generation who grew up with him as a constant in our lives. Life so far Well yes it was a good weekend last weekend even if I did spend part of it in the office. But it was a good trip to the office because I did it at my own time and pace and no pressure. See! I can be more productive if I'm not constrained to that schedule! Hmph. Also hung out with Jo--I have not chatted with her for ages. Our schedules are always the opposite ever since I was moved to another team: she goes home when I come in and vice versa. :( And I found "The Boy Next Door" already at A Different Bookstore. At last. Even if it's more expensive than what I could get at National or Powerbooks and the book smells weirdly like vanilla, I don't care. It's my reward to myself for pulling through the stressful week before. Let's just say I almost cried with all the work that I had to do--I have to admit part of it is my fault that's why everything just piled up, but it's all good now. I hope! But help again. I'm becoming a major shopaholic. Hehe, I think some people will laugh at me though. It's just that this is a generally okay season for preppy stuff at my favorite stores so I'm sort of shopping left and right. Plus I hardly buy myself anything lately. Why do I have to justify this anyway?! My dad always asks why I keep on defending my purchases when I know my limits, needs and wants anyway. Hmm. He's probably right.
