just babbling away.

from my tabulas account:

it's holy week. it's our one-week semi-vacation (hooray! -im being sarcastic here.) it's our time to reflect on our sins. it's the time of the year to "go back to God".


it is holy week. my sister is not here. she's in Batangas sun bathing. while here i am, stuck in our house. with gazillion things to do. with million projects to do. with so many things to do.
it's holy week and all i see is people going to the church. even to the beach.

people are so hypocrites nowadays. sorry with my words. but i am getting sarcastic now. i even admit that i am one of those people.


i went to our school's chapel last feb, to attend ash wednesday. i was not planning to go but there i was in the crowded small chapel waiting for the priest to finally put ash in our forehead. anyway, i was really surprised to see these people crowding inside and outside the chapel. it was as if they were awaken by some force in time for the ash wednesday. and i think i am one of them.


i admit. i just go to the church on special occassion. my family just go to the church during xmas, new year, palm sunday, easter sunday etc.


so i am one of those hypocrites people that "God" should be punishing right now. why quote-unquote God? coz right now, my mind has been corrupted by philosophy already.


and why the hell do i call these people, including myself, a hypocrite? it's simple. i call myself, we call ourselves a "Christian", a "Catholic". but only in papers. only a few of us actually live the virtue of being a Christian. we are hypocrites. i think all of us are hypocrites. if someone would ask me to name people who i could call a real Christian, there would be no one that i would mention. do i know someone who really live accdg to the word of God? or is it the word of Man?
i am confused on what is really the Truth. is there really a God? or is he just a figment of man's imagination? is there really a God or did we just made him up to compensate for the lack of explanation in our life? did we made God just to have someone to blame our mistakes and mishaps in life? "kasalanan to ng diyos...ito ang gusto ng diyos e...siguro ito ang way ng diyos para parusahan tayo..."etc.

when i was watching the news last night, i saw several people reenacting Jesus' death. Penitensya. they were willingly suffering just like what happened to Jesus. but for the sake of what? for the tourists' pleasure and entertainment? for the fact that people will see them suffering too? or is it for there own good? in what way? i mean, i don't really get it. until now i don't understand why the heck they are doing those morbid things. to repent on their sins? isn't it there are still other ways that could "repent their sins"? i mean, something that could benefit not just theirselves but also the others. that would be better than having real/reel blood on their bodies.


i think this is not the time to write this kind of stuff. but i just can't help it. im just in the mood to babble away.
