On Easter, saving money, unhappiness and cats.
A hodgepodge of short, assorted blog entries, uploaded pell-mell into one, decently-sized post. Will probably have more of these in the future.

I have come up with a few ways to save money. They will demand discipline, which has never been one of my strong suits, but I don't think I have a choice in the matter. If this is going to work, then I have to marshall myself. I will reap the rewards in the end.

My unhappiness is primarily caused by inability to let things go. I wish I could just delete certain thoughts and emotions from my mind and my heart --efficiently and all Matrix-like.

It was an easy Easter Sunday. My siblings and I got up at the crack of dawn to attend our Parish's Salubong. When we got to Church, there was already a lot of people assembled in the parking lot where the Salubong was to take place. I was surprised to see that Mel Gibson's Passion was being shown on stage. I suppose it was to keep people entertained while they waited (of course we should have been in prayer). Still, if it was going to remind everyone of Jesus' suffering, then it's all good. I'm glad it was almost over when we caught it. Seeing that film once is enough for me. We witnessed the Salubong, heard the first mass and then headed to Sinangag Express for breakfast. The rest of the day was spent at home then we went out again to have dinner at Pepper Lunch in Town.

I have finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo and it is, indeed, one of the finest novels in existence. Not only does Alexandre Dumas entertain us with a carefully thought-out story but he engages us as well with his humorous dialoge and his powerful, I repeat, powerful command of words. I must apologize in advance for my peers will have to endure my forthcoming attempts to incorporate the words 'hither', 'tither' and 'whence' in everyday parlance. And such polite language! I am all in awe.

My unhappiness is secondarily caused by my aversion to risk. If you're not happy about something, something has to change. If something has to change, there's risk involved. If you're afraid of risk, well, you're basically doomed. I'm trying not to be doomed. Damn.

Whenver I see cats staring intently up at a wall or into empty space, I imagine that they are receiving instructions from someone I can't see. I think I've just come up with a story plot.
