i was supposed to go to the Mass at my HS today, but a friend ended up not being able to give me a ride and in the end i just didn't feel like making the effort to go myself. i only feel bad b/c i told some friends i'd be going, then was a no-show, but we all plan on seeing each other soon anyway. irwin and i wrapped egg rolls to be cooked 2moro, and i watched some classic OC episodes, and the family prayed the rosary together, which occurs for one week out of the year when we host this statue of Our Lady of Fatima, which gets passed around to homes of people who are friends of this prayer group here. apparently we mixed up our mysteries but i guess God and Mary don't really mind so long as we're praying-- anyway i am kinda ambivalent about organized prayer; i think it's good sometimes but it gets to be routine and mindless... i'm sure it shouldn't be, maybe it's just me. my bad.
2moro it's the family and a few close friends. the holidays are interesting/boring (yes, both at the same time) b/c we don't have many relatives around here, but then neither do other filipino immigrants so we usually take in a few. then the day after christmas we're actually having a party (a small one, i think), and irwin and i get to invite regular friends over, too. i wish i could bring home my friends from college some time, like, all of them at once. and jess&dan&preeti- my Gov. Lovers. all of these people i really can't share the holidays with.
i feel like reading Perks. i started reading a couple pages of the godfather but i actually bought it as my brother's Christmas present so i'll wait till he goes through it. what i need to do is read up on ireland!
