Thurs
eramthgiN..woke up in cold sweat & sobbin profusely..
the DREAM started out pleasantly.. a visit from my family in georgia to celebrate our new home.. the house was absolutely fabulous.. high ceiling, victorian design, immaculate floors & appliances, big hot tub, swimming pool, glass windows (u get the picture =).. all was well.. tita san was packed to go.. it was a happy departure.. the manalo & fernandez family boarded the plane.. [back home] mom was cleanin the house, settin up the place for some afternoon snacks.. ryan invited christian (sammy's lil bro) to come play.. they were lighting mountain breeze scented candles.. the smell was so vivid.. the phone rings.. [slight static] "ms. ramirez?" asked the voice on the line.. "yes, may i ask who's calling?".. "hello, my name is sandra callin from boeing jetliner.. u know, the one that ur family is on.. the hydraulic spoilers have been damaged, makin it quite impossible to control the altitude of the plane.. the high-bypass-ratio fanjets are malfunctioning and combustion cannot be obtained.." [interrupts] "oh, it's nice of u to call" [not really understanding what sandra was saying] "uh, aren't u a bit concerned?".. "concerned? y should i be?" [still confused] "the plane is crashing?".. "come now, let's be serious" [walks over to the bathroom parallel to the ceiling-high, double-glass windows] "ma, there's a prankster sayin that tita irene & them cra-----shed".. i immediately drop the phone and stare blankly at the mirror's reflection.. the jetliner managed to skid across the lawn of my backyard.. flames raised the temperature of the house.. rather distraught, i ran out lookin for my family.. inches and inches of dead corpes lay wasted, forming a red carpet of blood which paved the way to a somewhat predictable discovery.. the death of my loved ones?.. when all hope dissipated, i tore my clothes, put on sackcloth, and threw ashes over my head (my religion readings sure do affect my dreams).. just then, tita irene came up from all the bodies.. then ivie.. tita san.. nero.. tito vien.. tito edgar, tita shirley, sheilla, edward, eunice, & bam -- the only survivors of the crash..
-- back to reality: mom came from my grandparents' house & heard me crying.. opened the door & gave me a big hug.. when we both looked at the clock, it was the holy hour 3:00 am.. God is amazing.. He wakes me up consistently at 3.. i prayed a long version of the rosary..
early in the morning, i took john mar to usc.. he danced "pamela one" in front of vanessa & april.. haha.. that was soooooo funny.. i didn't think he would do it.. "is today DAY CARE day?' (dr. zuckerman).. apparently, the 'rents brought their kids to religion class.. dr. z really likes john mar.. he tried scaring him w/ hebrew words such has "ruah" and "hevel".. it worked!.. john mar took notes in hebrew & showed prof after class.. "look teacher.. i took notes" "oh, good! now, the question is: do u understand it?" "no, but i took notes!".. haha.. vanessa & i bought diddy reese cookies for extra credit.. it was fun gettin receipts.. there were girls in bikinis & vanessa was goin to join them.. april "too-cool" left us to eat with her friends.. boo!
Fri
josh & ryan didn't have school, so josh came with me to chem class.. before we went, we attended the liturgy service at the cathedral.. $5~ for 25 min! outrageous.. haha.. but it was for God.. durin the service, josh stood next to the cross.. he was bored as ever.. poor thing.. afterwards, we played around the garden of animals.. cardinal mahoney smiled & waved at us cuz we were the only ones left.. wow! the cardinal!.. josh shrugged & said, "cardinal who?".. cardinal just laughed.. off to school.. josh made himself known in class.. he was the loudest "student" there.. he shouted, "man ate.. u're teacher's so boring".. i blushed, people laughed.. we sat directly in front of him in the 3rd row center.. he has a way of embarassing me.. haha.. whoo hoo, we got extra credit for just showin up!
then we went to the stations of the cross play (jesus=bernard, soldiers=mark*paul st.john), 7 last words, solemn liturgy, stations of the cross @ the abortion clinic on arden ave., & finally stations again @ el shaddai.. it was a solemn occasion.. fr. shea came to give mame anointing of the sick.. it was the first time he was at our house.. he was very gracious.. i love the dude.. his joke: one cannibal said to another,"i can't stand my mother in-law livin in my house." the other retorted, "then just eat the darn vegetable!"
I'm going to stop procrastinating ... once I get around to it.
