where yesterdays are all boxed up & neatly put away.

and because its that time of the year...


Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Praestet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.


Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et iubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen.


Maundy Thursday was spent very differently this year. no pre-service dinner at home with mommy, daddy and the rest of the family, no supper with the parents after, no familiar church service, at the same 'ol spot with them, no communion with mommy and daddy where they'd make me feel so so loved and blessed. i did, however. still go for Maundy Thursday service earlier tonight, which is always a good thing. so. its Good Friday tomorrow, and Easter Sunday 2 days later... that'd be different too? no lunch at Aunty Lou's place, with the bestttt drinks, amazing food, and even better company. i miss my family more than anything at this point of time. the fabbbb girls & ming come a close second, though. speaking of ming... its our 3rd month (: the past month has been little short of amazing with him, and i'm exceedingly happy about that. the only thing that sucks right now is the fact that we're so far away from each other. but other than that, its all good, i think (:

oh yes. and i'm obviously back from portugal/spain! 'twas generally... quite a lovely trip! with alot of spastic moments, and pictures to show for some of them! haha. but it was good by all scores, and i enjoyed myself hehe. LOTS OF FOOD!!! and good music, sangria!!!, beer (mahou & supberbock!!!)... awesome cathedrals that really do take your breath away and make you exclaim- how great thou art, amongst other things. lovely sun! uhm. i can't think of what else i wanted to say. so. i'm off now (:

will end off with something my dadddddy smsed me earlier today (: i wish he was here with me too (his communion quirks are second to none... i swear!)... but i suppose the phone call and the sms he sent me earlier today will have to do until i return home. to his royal weirdness who wants to go to Tibet! hehe. should be fun if he really decides to. okay. i'm going to sleep soon! the 12 day long trip really did tire me out quite a bit hehe. but it was mucho fun.

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
O sacrum convivium, in quo Christus sumitur: Recolitur memoria passionis eius;
Mens impletur gratia et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
